It's not difficult to get a huge sum of five hundred yuan these days, and it's rare that you can do it without leaving a trace or being discovered.

Gu Mingdong made an appointment with Sun Qiang to return to Shanghe Village to settle down his younger brothers and sisters. Without telling them what he was going to do, he pretended to be sick and went to Lao Liu's place to open a letter of introduction to the hospital.

When night fell, Gu Mingdong left home quietly.

Sun Qiang stood at the intersection, looking left and right, fearing that someone would appear out of nowhere.

Yan Hai, who was standing next to him, saw it and reluctantly advised him: "Brother Qiang, can you behave normally? If you are so nervous, others will think you are a thief."

Sun Qiang sighed: "This is more exciting than being a thief. Do you think my cousin is reliable?"

Yan Hai hesitated for a moment, then said: "Brother Qiang, it's really not good for Shumei, a girl's family, to go to the countryside. How about I ask my dad, he might be able to get one."

Sun Qiang sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother, that's interesting, but let's wait for my cousin first. Maybe he can do something."

Deep down, I feel that although they are friends, Yan Hai's father has no friendship with him. That's five hundred yuan. Given the current situation of the Sun family, they will definitely not be able to pay it back for a while. Why should others lend it to them?

Besides, Yan Hai himself was about to be sent to the countryside, and the Yan family must be in a hurry for money. Sun Qiang didn't want to make it difficult for Yan Hai unless he had to.

Moreover, Gu Mingdong said that he needed a car, and it had to be a four-wheeled truck. Sun Qiang couldn't get it, so he finally asked Yan Hai.

Yan Hai didn't have a car himself, so he still found connections and borrowed a car from the transportation team. Not only did it cost money, but it also required favors, but Yan Hai didn't say a word and just helped him do everything. Sun Qiang still remembers it.

The two waited for a while, in the dead of night, they were shivering from the cold.

Sun Qiang was worried about gain and loss: "How about I go to the production team and pick him up."

The longer he waited, the more uneasy he became, and he wished he could fly to the Shanghe Village production team to have a look.

"Brother Qiang, do you think that's your cousin?" Yan Hai suddenly pointed and asked.

Sun Qiang took a look and saw that the dark figure pushing a car in the dark night was not the cousin he longed for.

He quickly ran over to take a look, and then he saw clearly that Gu Mingdong was pushing a cart. The original wooden cart was piled high and covered tightly with leaves, so it was hard to tell what it was.

"A Dong, what is this?" Sun Qiang asked.

"Meat." Gu Mingdong said concisely and concisely, "Put it into the car first. We can't sell it in Xiyuan Town. It will be traced too easily."

"Okay, Ah Hai, come here and help." Sun Qiang greeted.

Opening the big blade, Sun Qiang gasped when he saw three adult wild boars on the wooden board cart. Their combined weight could weigh over a thousand kilograms.

The big wild boar has been simply cleaned up. It looks relatively clean and doesn't smell much of blood.

Sun Qiang couldn't see clearly in the night, otherwise he would have discovered that these wild boars were all killed with one knife, and the blood was flowing from their necks.

Sun Qiang was shocked by the huge size of the wild boar. When he looked at it again, he saw that the wheels were almost falling apart under the weight. He didn't know how his cousin managed to hit the wild boar, or how he managed to fight it down the mountain alone and transport it all the way to the town.

"How did you move here alone?" Sun Qiang asked in surprise.

Gu Mingdong only said: "I am strong."

Yan Hai was also shocked. The two of them had no time to ask more questions and were scrambling to lift the wild boar into the car.

Soon they knew how strong Gu Mingdong was.

Sun Qiang and Yan Hai both found it difficult to lift one end, but Gu Mingdong could carry it alone, and it looked so easy, as if he had taken a powerful pill.

"One, two, three! Get up!" With a roar, the wild boar fell behind the car, and the truck was weighed heavily.

Sun Qiang knew why a truck was needed. It wasn't that the truck couldn't carry such heavy goods.

Yan Hai only felt his hands were sore. He wiped away the sweat and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Adong, you are too powerful. I heard that you may not be able to kill a wild boar even with a wooden warehouse."

After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Gu Mingdong's shank. He secretly thought that it was a man, so why did he realize that it was so big? It was difficult for him to lift the boar's leg, so he threw it up.

"Yes, Adong, how did you hit him?" Sun Qiang also asked.

Gu Mingdong threw the almost scrapped pallet into the truck and said, "Drive first, we'll talk on the way."

Yan Hai sat in the driver's seat consciously. He thought that among the three of them, he was the only one who could drive: "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to Daishan first." Gu Mingdong said, "We have to drive faster. We have to sell the wild boar before dawn."

"Sit tight." Yan Hai said and stepped on the accelerator.

Sun Qiang almost flew out, but Gu Mingdong pulled him: "You are too fierce."

Yan Hai smiled shyly. Looking at the way he drove, he couldn't tell that he was usually so gentle and even a little weak.

Sun Qiang looked at his cousin again and said exaggeratedly: "A Dong, please tell us how you caught three big wild boars. The tusks just looked at them. I was scared to death."

Gu Mingdong said lightly: "I have studied wild boars before, know their habits, and dug traps where they forage. I was lucky this time."

"Otherwise, how do you think I got it before? If you want to eat meat, you have to have luck in addition to hard work."

Sun Qiang sighed: "Then you are very lucky, you can catch the wild boar three times in a row."

"I'm very lucky." After being at the end of the world and not dying, and in this world where there are food, drinks and no zombies, Gu Mingdong feels that he is indeed very lucky.

He added: "After this time, we probably won't be able to catch wild boars in the mountains."

Originally, he planned to raise one, but who knew that now that he was in a hurry to spend money, the most profitable thing was naturally meat, and the most meat-producing thing was an adult wild boar.

Now that he is almost trying to catch all the adult wild boars in the mountains, Gu Mingdong has made up his mind that he will not catch any more wild boars in the next few years.

Sun Qiang smiled and said: "If you can't catch it, you can't catch it. When people are satisfied, we can't let us take all the benefits."

After saying that, he started to worry again: "But there are so many wild boars, can we sell them?"

"Daishan City is so big and there are so many people, how can we not eat three wild boars." Yan Hai interjected from the side.

Gu Mingdong thought the same way. It would not be impossible to send the three large wild boars directly to Lao Liu, but the noise was too big and Xiyuan Town would not be able to digest it for a while, and it would be easy to expose the trap.

But Daishan City is different. This place is big enough, and there are enough people. From the name, you can tell that it is surrounded by mountainous areas, and there are many wild boars on the mountains. When the time comes, they sell the wild boars and run away, and it is difficult to check even if they want to.

Sun Qiang thought about the three big wild boars behind him, and his heart was filled with excitement: "A Dong, you said before that you could make money, but I still didn't believe it. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have underestimated you."

Gu Mingdong bumped into him funny: "Come on, who of us will follow the other?"

Sun Qiang added: "In order to catch these big guys, you must not have rested. Anyway, Ah Hai is driving, so you can sleep on it for a while."

Gu Mingdong didn't refuse either.

Yan Hai also said: "Brother Qiang, please squint for a while. It's still far away. It will take at least two hours to drive."

Sun Qiang shook his head and said, "I won't sleep, so I'll talk to you."

Yan Hai smiled helplessly, but did not refuse, and the two of them started chatting.

In the darkness, the truck moved quickly.

Daishan City is far more prosperous than Xiyuan Town. You can even see tall buildings, and even the houses are mostly good houses with blue bricks and red tiles.

Sun Qiang opened the window and looked out: "This is my first time coming to Daishan."

After saying that, I felt a little headache again: "Where are we going now? We can't hawk on the street, right?"

Private buying and selling is prohibited. If they dare to sell on the street, they are not stealing in front of the public security bureau.

Yan Hai had been to Daishan City a few times, but now his eyes darkened and he said hesitantly: "I only know that the supply and marketing cooperative is very lively and there is a special foreign exchange shop."

"In such a big city, there must be a black market." Gu Mingdong said.

The original owner had never left Xiyuan Town in his life, so naturally he could not provide much useful value.

He got out of the car and said, "Wait for me for a while."

Just as Sun Qiang was about to call him to come with him, Gu Mingdong disappeared and couldn't help but say: "These feet are walking too fast."

How did he know that Gu Mingdong deliberately prevented him from following him.

Out of the sight of the two of them, Gu Mingdong squatted down and pressed his hands on the ground.

For creatures other than plants, their abilities are extremely limited, ranging from distance to specific perception. Fortunately, Gu Mingdong does not need to know what the sensed humans are doing.

It's still dark, so there's nothing else but the black market that would go out and gather at this time.

Sure enough, after a while, Gu Mingdong determined a direction.

He returned to the car in a few steps: "Go that way."

Yan Hai drove obediently, but Sun Qiang asked strangely: "You asked where you are so soon?"

Gu Mingdong laughed and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "I'm lucky."

When he smiled, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, with an indescribable determination that was completely different from the Gu Mingdong he once was.

Sun Qiang was stunned as he looked at it. It took him a while to react, and he patted his head and said, "It's amazing."

Then he said: "A Dong, after getting married and having children, do people really change so much? Do you think I have to find a wife to have children as soon as possible? Maybe after having children, I can also become powerful. a lot of."

In the past, his mother often said that his cousin grew up after getting married and had children, as if he had become a different person. He still didn't believe it, but now he couldn't help but not believe it. He had never seen A Dong so powerful before.

These words made Yan Hai snicker.

Sun Qiang glared at him: "Why are you laughing?"

Yan Hai quickly held back and only said: "Brother Qiang, the difference between individuals and groups is intrinsic."

Sun Qiang snorted coldly: "I don't understand what you are saying. It's not a good thing anyway."

Gu Mingdong helped translate: "What Ahai means is that you can get married, but if you want to become more powerful after getting married, it's faster to reincarnate again."

Sun Qiang snorted: "He is jealous of me, Ah Hai. Maybe when you come back from the countryside, my son will be running all over the place."

Yan Hai rarely joked: "Then I have to work hard and save a few more gifts."

"One is never too few, four or five is never too many," Sun Qiang said.

Yan Hai couldn't help but said: "Don't curse me. My father said that he will be back in two or three years at most. Even if you get married right now, you won't have time to have four or five children."

These words made Gu Mingdong look at him one more time, secretly thinking that Yan's father might be disappointed if he had this idea.

Sun Qiang laughed and said, "Don't you know this? There are a pair of twins in Adong's family. He is my cousin. If he can give birth to twins, I will definitely give birth to twins. If I hold two in three years, that means four."

That confident look left both Gu Mingdong and Yan Hai speechless.

In a few words, we were indeed near the black market.

Gu Mingdong reminded: "Stop here, I will go in to find the buyer, you two cover your faces."

Sun Qiang quickly took out the rag towel that he had prepared before. Gu Mingdong asked him to prepare it. Because he was afraid that his mother and sister would find out, Sun Qiang sewed it himself. Although the sewing was crooked, it could still cover his face.

Gu Mingdong caught one, circled it a few times and left.

Sun Qiang and Yan Hai obediently covered their faces. Yan Hai even got out of the car and covered all the numbers that could be found on the car.

They had already covered it once before coming here, and this time they were checking to see if there were any omissions. After all, buying and selling was illegal, so they naturally had to be more careful.

Gu Mingdong entered the black market and was not in a hurry to find anyone. The retail investors who occasionally came and went in a hurry were not his target. Such people could not buy many, and they did not have the time or tools to separate the wild boars for sale.

After looking around, Gu Mingdong found the right candidate.

Just like the local snake Lao Liu in Xiyuan Town, there are naturally local snakes in the black market in Daishan City. You can tell by the weight of the goods.

The local snake was very cautious. Seeing that Gu Mingdong had not bought anything for a few times, he suddenly became wary when he looked at his strange appearance with his face covered: "Brother, what do you want?"

Gu Mingdong looked at his posture and would run away immediately if something went wrong.

He leaned over, lowered his voice and said, "We have hunted three wild boars, which weigh a thousand kilograms in total. Can we eat them?"

The local snake was shocked and looked at him in surprise.

"Follow me if you can." Gu Mingdong said nothing and walked out.

The local snake frowned, but quickly gritted his teeth and followed him. Wealth and wealth are in danger. In this business, he cannot be afraid of things.

Soon, the two came back one after another. Sun Qiang and Yan Hai had transformed themselves into masked men. Not to mention their faces, their voices could not be heard clearly.

Seeing their strange appearance, the local snake was not only not afraid, but actually breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the red armband that came to arrest them couldn't look like this.

Gu Mingdong opened the trunk of the car: "It's all here."

The local snake looked around, and when he saw the huge thing clearly, his eyes almost fell out of surprise.

They are all meat, and they are all pork. Although the taste is not as good as domestic pork, it is a scarce thing in the city.

In an instant, he saw that he was making a lot of money from just a few pigs.

But soon, the local snake narrowed his eyes and whispered: "It's too much. No one in Daishan City can eat it except me. Is it okay if I don't peel eight hairs per catty? If so, I'll take it all."

"It's too cheap, just one piece." Gu Mingdong said.

The local snake hurriedly said: "My big brother, this serious pork only sells for one dollar and three. If you want a piece of furry pork, then I won't lose money if I buy it."

Gu Mingdong said calmly: "Real pork requires a meat ticket. Do you have it? If you have it, I will sell it for eight cents."

"Then you are not a domestic pig. Wild boars are too wild and taste not as good as domestic pigs." The local snake added.

Gu Mingdong looked at the sky and pretended to be impatient: "It's just one piece. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, I'll find someone else."

After saying that, he got in the car and left.

Yan Hai and Sun Qiang were a little anxious. If Gu Mingdong hadn't told them not to speak before, they would have been unable to bear it now.

"Hey, hey, why are you so impatient?" The local snake glanced at their car, but couldn't find any obvious signs.

He thought to himself that someone who could drive a car to sell wild boars must have something to do with it, otherwise no one could drive a car these days.

After glancing at the three of them, the local snake changed his mind and said, "Then let's each take a step back. Can nine cents be enough?"

After that, he added: "The meat is good meat, but there is too much meat. No one in Daishan City can eat it except me. Not only will you waste time by selling it in pieces, the risk is also high. If you are not careful, you will be beaten with chickens and eggs, and you will be beaten." You have to go in, do you think that's the truth?"

Nine cents was on Gu Mingdong's bottom line. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, find someone to transport it away."

The local snake asked tentatively: "Don't you have a car? Can't you send it to my house?"

Gu Mingdong said with a half-smile: "It's better not to know the place, otherwise you won't worry and we won't worry either."

When the local snake heard this, he knew that the person in front of him was definitely not doing business for the first time, so he quickly said: "Okay, just wait for me for a while, and I'll call someone."

Gu Mingdong soon knew why he dared to come alone. He walked over and shouted, and soon seven or eight people emerged from the alley next to him.

If they dared to take advantage of others just now, no one would be able to escape if the local snake shouted.

Gu Mingdong helped them unload the wild boars. He was having trouble looking at the three big wild boars because they were too heavy and couldn't find a tool to weigh them.

The local snake turned in a circle, nodded and said: "I estimate that one weighs at least three to four hundred kilograms, but if you remove the pig's head, guts and tusks, it will add up to nine hundred kilograms, which is pretty good."

Gu Mingdong frowned. He knew the number of wild boars he handled. He estimated that they must weigh a thousand kilograms: "You are not sincere in doing business."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and threw the wild boar back into the car.

The local snake's face paused, shocked by how strong he was. He looked at the men next to him and said, "Don't be so hasty. I just miscalculated. This should weigh nine hundred and fifty kilograms."

Just now, he had been thinking about getting angry and taking advantage of others, thinking that there were eight of them and only three of them. But now that he saw that Gu Mingdong was strong enough to lift a wild boar and fly, he gave it up immediately.

Gu Mingdong was impatient to deal with such people, but he didn't want to waste any more time, so he nodded in agreement.

The local snake breathed a sigh of relief. He counted the money and said with a smile: "It's 855 yuan in total. How about adding zero to it and counting it as 850?"

Seeing that the sky was dim and bright, and the city would come alive soon, Gu Mingdong didn't want to hold back because of five yuan, so he simply grabbed the money, nodded to confirm that it was correct, nodded and said: "The money and the goods are both in order."

The local snake was not in a hurry to leave. He stuck his head to look at their car and said, "Brother, if there are good things like this in the future, just come to me and I will make sure you don't suffer any loss."

Gu Mingdong didn't talk nonsense to him and asked Yan Hai to drive away.

This person is not serious about business and always wants to take advantage. Gu Mingdong is stupid to do a second business.

Seeing their car driving away, the local snake sighed: "What kind of bastard did you come from? You don't give me any face."

The boy said: "He's still driving a car, so he might be a kid from a high-ranking official."

The local snake gloated: "The higher you are now, the more unlucky you are. You may be criticized when you go back."

"It's a pity that I didn't recognize it, otherwise I might be able to get the money back if I hold on to the handle." The local snake said regretfully.

On the other end, when the truck finally left the confines of Daishan City, Sun Qiang pulled off his rag and said, "Oh, you're almost suffocating me."

Yan Hai also pulled off the rag: "It was so exciting just now."

Gu Mingdong smiled, counted the money, and quickly handed the five hundred directly to Sun Qiang: "Take it."

Sun Qiang was so moved that he couldn't express it in words. The big man's eyes were a little sore: "A Dong, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."

"Isn't Shumei my sister?" Gu Mingdong said with a smile.

Not to mention the care that Gu Xiuxiu has taken for her mother's family over the years, the value of the glass bead that Sun Shumei sent to him was far more than the five hundred yuan.

Sun Qiang didn't know what was going on behind this, so he insisted: "Even if I borrowed this money, Shumei and I will pay it back together. If we can't pay it back in one or two years, we will pay it back to you in five or ten years."

Gu Mingdong didn't insist on it: "Just wait until you have money to pay it back, don't worry."

After speaking, he took out another hundred yuan and gave it to Yan Hai: "Ah Hai, take this."

Yan Hai was startled and said hurriedly: "Brother Adong, this is impossible. I just help drive. How can I ask you for so much money?"

Gu Mingdong said with a tone that he could not refuse: "You don't want any favors when I lend you a car? You have to refuel when you drive. Besides, the driver's salary is very high these days."

"It won't take so much." Yan Hai shook his head vigorously.

Gu Mingdong paused and then said: "Otherwise, you can teach me and my cousin how to drive on the way. We will learn a little bit and the rest will be used as tuition."

Yan Hai still refused: "Brother Qiang and I are friends. If he wants to learn how to drive, I will teach him for free. How can I charge tuition?"

Sun Qiang took the money and stuffed it into Yan Hai's pocket: "You kid, don't be so polite all the time. You'll suffer easily."

"You can keep this money and give more to the people in the transportation team to prevent them from telling the truth. This will help us."

When he said this, Yan Hai really refused.

Leaning back in the chair, Sun Qiang said in a daze: "Is this solved?"

A Dong solved the matter that had troubled their family for several months in one night, which made Sun Qiang almost think he was dreaming.

Gu Mingdong laughed: "We are also lucky."

When Sun Qiang heard this, he smiled and said: "It seems that Shumei is also very lucky. It's almost too late to get it on the shelves, and suddenly there is an opportunity."

Gu Mingdong nodded in agreement: "Shumei's luck is indeed good."

Of course, he is the one with better luck. There are never too many things that can improve his abilities.

Gu Mingdong folded up the remaining 250 yuan and stuffed it into his pocket. As expected, only high risks lead to high returns. He had been making small fortunes for a whole year, but he hadn't accumulated so much. Most of it was confiscated and eaten by the production team. Entered the stomach.

When they arrived at an open area, Yan Hai stopped and taught them how to drive. As soon as Gu Mingdong learned it, Sun Qiang scratched his head anxiously, and finally failed to learn it when they got on the road again.

When they returned, it was Gu Mingdong who drove the car, which made Sun Qiang jealous.

Sun Qiang sighed and had to admit: "Ah Hai, you are right, talent is innate, and individual differences cannot be erased."

Refusing to admit that his skills were not good, he turned over and said, "A Dong, drive slowly, I'll take a nap."

Yan Hai didn't dare to sleep. Gu Mingdong drove and watched carefully. He was a novice after all, so he had to keep an eye on him.

But as soon as Sun Qiang finished speaking, he snored and slept soundly.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Sun Qiang screamed in his sleep, which scared Gu Mingdong and almost drove the car into a ditch.

The author has something to say: Yan Hai is actually one of my favorite affectionate male supporting characters.

Although he is not my male partner
