Chapter 54 What a coincidence, we meet here, where is Wanderer?

She wanted to change her food to some eggs and milk, and then see if there were any useful supplies.

Holding the "Simplified Map of South Island" that had already been mapped out in his hand, he soon came to a small alley.

Not far from the entrance of the alley, there were two stragglers wandering down the street with their hands in their pockets and their cloth shoes, whistling and looking around.

Xia Li could tell at just one glance that these two people were here to show off, and there must be a black market in front of them.

I found a random alley, put on some inconspicuous clothes, put on a hat and scarf, found a basket and put some brown sugar in it, covered it with a cloth, and slung it over my body.

On a hot day, Xia Li felt that if he stayed bored for a longer time, he might suffer from heat stroke.

Perhaps because her outfit had too much of a "speculative" vibe, she walked into the alley with her waist down, but the two people watching next to her just glanced at her and looked away without even asking.

The black market was even simpler than Xia Li imagined. There were only a few scattered people standing there with baskets in their hands, looking around vigilantly.

This "commercial prosperity" is not as good as the early market in rural areas in later generations.

As soon as Xia Li came in, several people's eyes immediately fell on her, and they were all on guard.

Xia Li ignored them and went from door to door asking what they had. Those who were willing to exchange money and tickets would use money and tickets in exchange, and those who were not willing to exchange them would use brown sugar.

Materials are not abundant here in the South Island, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy what you want. Most people would rather ask for brown sugar or white sugar than money or tickets.

While Xia Li was changing things, he sighed in his heart: What kind of cute little angel is Li Shengli?

In the past few days since she came to Nandao, whether she was giving gifts or making connections, or buying things from others, all she relied on were the "local specialties" she got from his house.

Without him, a "selfless little angel with a kind heart", her life would definitely not be as nourishing as it is now.

With this thought in mind, when he raised his head, he met a sharp gaze.

Lu Dingyuan?

Why is he here?

Damn it! What a coincidence, right? Could it be fishing enforcement? Do soldiers care about this too?

Xia Li didn't expect to meet Lu Dingyuan in plain clothes at the black market. He looked away calmly, quickened his pace and left the block without leaving a trace.

Not far after I walked out, I heard someone in the alley yelling: "There's a police! Run!!!"

Xia Li thought that was indeed the case, Lu Dingyuan was here to catch speculators.

Before anyone else could run out, he quickly stuffed his whole outfit into the space.

As if nothing happened, he put his hands in his pockets and walked out slowly like an old man walking.

Someone ran out from behind, and she gave way to them with a frown and a look of disgust on her face, as if she was really passing by by accident but was almost hit by someone.

Several people in police uniforms ran past her, but no one suspected that he was a "speculator."

There was even a policeman who almost bumped into her and apologized to her sheepishly.

Xia Li was as steady as an old dog. He was already thinking about doing some tooth-beating ritual when he went back later. However, when he reached the end of the alley, a tall and deep figure appeared at the entrance of the alley.

The person who came was wearing a straight military uniform, with a slender and straight figure, and a sense of oppression unique to soldiers.

If not Lu Dingyuan, who else?

Xia Li:......

Oh, it turns out he recognized her just now.

But what does the speculative country girl Xia Li in gray clothes have to do with the pretty Xia Li in green military uniform?

"What a coincidence, we meet here. Where is Wanderer?"

Lu Dingyuan:...
