The Age of Immortal Cultivation: I Have Mountains and Seas to Accompany Me

Chapter 54 Being followed

Chinese people have an almost obsessive obsession with lunar festivals, just like eating special, memorable food on a certain festival. The Spring Festival is more like an annual ritual for Chinese people.

Every time the Spring Festival comes, Chinese people have to do two things. The first is to clean the room... to the point where it is almost spotless; the second is to buy all the New Year's goods they can.

A day's plan begins in the morning; a year's plan begins in spring!

The house should be kept clean and tidy, and life should be prosperous... These New Year's goods should also attract more guests to visit, proving that the family has a good reputation.

In the mid-70s, the purchasing power of urban and rural residents, or the supply power of the market, increased significantly. People could not only eat white flour dumplings during the New Year, but also had extra money to buy melon seeds, peanuts, sesame paste, etc., which were rarely in sufficient supply in the market in previous years.

Take the Greater Khingan Range for example... Many people planted melon seeds and peanuts in their private plots... In the past, food was in short supply, and the rural areas strictly implemented the policy of "taking grain as the key link", and farmers also planted crops and vegetables in their private plots. In the past two years, the purchase varieties and prices of the purchasing stations alone can show the direction of the trend.

Chinese farmers also have their own way of thinking, and they seem to have grasped the pulse of the market... Instead of selling during the autumn harvest, they wait until the period before the New Year to sell their products, and they can get a few cents more than in the autumn.

Ye Muxue waited until the entrance of the purchasing station was quiet before going in... At this time, most people had already sold their goods and used the money to go shopping.

There were two people in the station today, one was Master Chen, and the other was a young girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with two heavy pigtails hanging behind her head.

"Ye Zhiqing, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you?" Master Chen asked enthusiastically. The girl next to him looked at her curiously, wondering why Master Chen was so enthusiastic towards this girl.

"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."

Ye Muxue took off the backpack behind him, took out the beautiful girl from the basket and placed it on the counter.

"Oh, rabbit! What a cute little thing!"

No one could resist the temptation of a beautiful girl, and the girl fell in love with her at first sight.

Master Chen's eyes were focused on Ye Muxue's backpack, and he couldn't hide his surprise: "Ye Zhiqing, did you kill all the deer in the forest? Why are there so many antlers?"

"Master Chen, you are so bold!"

Ye Muxue glared at him angrily: "You should be responsible for what you say. Even if I have the ability, I can't do such a thing that will anger the heaven and the people... Look carefully, they are all shed horns."

Master Chen also noticed the appearance of these antlers: "I guess you picked up all the shed antlers in the forest?"

Almost the truth!!
Ye Muxue smiled and said nothing.

Today Ye Muxue only took out the shed horns to sell... there were more than 280 pieces in total. After evaluating the quality, Master Chen gave 735 yuan for them.

Ye Muxue put the money away, threw the beautiful girl into the basket, and left resolutely in the girl's reluctant eyes... People were looking at the beautiful girl. Besides, people's love orientation in this era is still very normal. Even if Ye Muxue is as beautiful as a fairy, it is impossible for people to be attracted to her.

"Master Chen, which village is she from?"

It was absolutely unexpected. After Ye Muxue left, the girl actually asked Master Chen about Ye Muxue's background.

Master Chen glanced at her and said, "I only know that her last name is Ye and that she is an educated youth. I don't know much else... She is a grown-up girl, so I can't ask her too many details."

Seeing the look of disbelief on the girl's face, Master Chen added something.

"Then I'll go ask someone else."

The girl seemed to believe it and walked out from behind the counter, "Master Chen, I'm going to go out for a while."

It seemed that she had a backer, and she walked out without waiting for Master Chen to reply.

Master Chen sighed after the girl left... He knew that Ye Muxue was probably being targeted.

There is nothing wrong with the girl's sexual orientation, but her brother is a troublemaker who has ruined the innocence of several girls. Recently, he is making a fuss about getting married, and his family is targeting him... This is not good!

Ye Muxue really didn’t know, but soon after she came out of the purchasing station, she felt someone was following her... Well, when she looked more closely, it turned out to be the girl from the purchasing station.

Although he didn't know why she followed him, the vague aura emanating from her didn't seem like anything good. Ye Muxue was too lazy to make trouble and let the beautiful girl deal with her with a little illusion.

After shaking off the stalker, Ye Muxue was about to pack up the backpack and escape with the beautiful girl when an acquaintance came towards him - Yan Tieleng!

"Ye Zhiqing, why did you come? Why didn't I see you?"

"Well! I came down the mountain late and took the village bus." Ye Muxue said vaguely.

"That's great. I'll treat you to a meal."

Yan Tieleng smiled sheepishly: "When Zhao Anshi was alive, he was so powerful in the village that we didn't dare to say anything, but I will always remember your kindness in saving my life."

Ye Muxue smiled: "Secretary Yan, anyone would have made the same choice at that time. Besides, this is the rule in the mountains. It was you yesterday, and it could be me tomorrow. Don't mention this matter again in the future."

No matter what, Yan Tieleng insisted on treating her to a meal, and Ye Muxue agreed, thinking that this would put an end to this cause and effect.

There was only one state-owned restaurant in the county. Yan Tieleng generously invited Ye Muxue to take a seat and he would order the dishes.

Braised pork, braised lamb chops, fried pork intestines, pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli, sauerkraut pot, braised rabbit head... This dish was resolutely removed at the insistence of the beautiful girl, and her ruby-like eyes almost turned bloodshot.

"Secretary Yan, I'm sorry. She can't bear to see her own kind being eaten."

Ye Muxue was very helpless. All the rabbit meat in her home was given to the female educated youth. Ye Muxue was so angry that she decided not to hunt rabbits anymore.

"Understand. I was careless."

Yan Tieleng looked at the beautiful girl with great interest: "This rabbit is quite human."

"Maybe that's why I always chat with her when I'm free. You know, there's not much people to chat with in the deep mountains and old forests. With her company, I don't feel lonely."

Yan Tieleng nodded in agreement: "Old Kong...he just likes to talk to the two dogs he raises, and he doesn't even say a few words to his wife."

This... was such a bad conversationalist, neither of them knew what to say. Fortunately, the dishes were served at this time, easing the awkwardness.

Neither of them was suitable for chatting, so they just ate in silence. However, Yan Tieleng was embarrassed again - he couldn't eat as well as Ye Muxue.

"Secretary Yan, is there something wrong?"

Ye Muxue finished eating, wiped her mouth, and looked up at Yan Tieleng.

It’s posted late. I wanted to write a little more, but I don’t know why, I’m so sleepy.

I have been working hard, and I will fight again tomorrow
