Ti slipped away unknowingly.
The morning light fell across various parts of this county town, yet Gu Jin still hadn’t shown up.
Liu Quan and Dali were getting anxious.
Especially Liu Quan, whose initial excitent had mostly dissipated, and he even questioned the person next to him, self-doubtfully: "Dali, Miss Gu did co yesterday, right?"
It wasn’t a dream, it all really happened, right?
Dali swallowed, staring at Brother Quan’s solemn face, he said hoarsely: "Yes, Miss Gu indeed ca."
Regarding Brother Quan’s suspicion, Dali thought silently, Could Brother Quan be ill?
He rembered his seventh uncle’s cousin’s neighbor’s village Liu grandpa’s niece’s aunt’s second aunt’s son’s god-grandfather, who had a disease like that, where events from today wouldn’t be rembered tomorrow, and often had confused mories.
The old man’s symptoms were exactly the sa as Brother Quan’s here.
Dali silently swallowed again, his eyes never leaving Brother Quan.
"Bang bang!"
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Liu Quan jumped up excitedly, knocking over the chair he was sitting on.
"Quick! Quick, go open the door!"
Without a word, Dali rushed towards the door.
He opened the door, but standing outside was not Gu Jin, but a flashy young man in a floral shirt.
Behind him stood a few people, one of whom was Liu the Crippled, their long-ti archrival.
Liu the Crippled looked at Dali, revealing a smile with an ambiguous aning: "Yo! Isn’t this Dali, where’s Liu Quan?"
"What are you doing here?"
Dali coldly stared at the people in front of him.
"Of course, I’m here looking for soone. Where’s Liu Quan? Has he been crying at ho these past few days?"
Liu the Crippled knew this street was going down; since prices rose and the whole county town was short on food, he clearly understood his opportunity had co.
Now he had so rare goods. If he didn’t seize the opportunity, this street would really have nothing to do with him.
Liu Quan had already heard Liu the Crippled’s voice, he walked over with a face full of coldness.
"I know why you’re here, you want this street? Go ho and keep dreaming!"
Known for his temper, Liu Quan was not polite to Liu the Crippled at all at this mont.
Looking at his fiery deanor, Liu the Crippled was not angry at all, even smiling all over his face.
He smugly said, "Liu Quan, look at this street going down, you have no goods in hand. I, however, have so fresh stuff, all from the south’s seafood. If you let have half of this street, I wouldn’t mind giving you a hand."
Upon hearing he had seafood, Liu Quan’s facial expression changed several tis.
But this wouldn’t make him give up this street.
He sneered: "Even if you have seafood, so what, how long can you sustain it? I don’t care for your little bits of goods!"
Liu the Crippled finally changed his expression, his face bearing malice: "Fine! Liu Quan, I’ll wait for the day you beg !"
He was convinced Liu Quan was at the end of his rope, no matter how strong his backing was, now the entire North China was affected. How long could Liu Quan hold on?
"Go dream your ghostly dreams!" Liu Quan nodded to Dali: "Close the door!"
"Yes, Brother Quan!"
Dali extended his arms, closing the door with a bang and locking the bolt.
"Liu Quan, fuck your mother..."
Outside, Liu the Crippled imdiately spewed all sorts of indescribably filthy curses.
No matter how much he cursed, the unmoving door stood firm.
After a while, it quieted down outside, but Liu Quan’s expression didn’t ease a bit.
