The young man put Yunli down, helped her take down her basket, then pulled out a fertilizer bag from the corner of the yard and took everything out of the basket and put it on top of it.

Looking at these things, the young man's eyes lit up with joy. He wanted to buy them privately so that his grandmother could have a good nourishing meal.

But then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he asked, "You said all the adults in your family are gone, where did you get all these things?"

"This was what we had stored at home before my family passed away."

The young man suddenly reached out and pinched her arm; it was thin and frail, and his eyes filled with pity.

"How old are you?"

"Eight years old!"

The young man was shocked. What a joke! Her physique was even smaller than his three-year-old niece's. How could she be eight years old?

I wanted to question it, but when I looked into the child's eyes, I saw a look that was different from my three-year-old niece's innocent and naive gaze; instead, it revealed a darkness.

She must have had a bad life before, otherwise she wouldn't look like a three-year-old at eight years old.

Because of her difficult life, her personality is not like that of a real child.

"If you sell all this, what will you eat?"

"There's still some at home."

The young man nodded. "Are you staying with relatives right now?"

Yun Li wanted to say no, but not wanting to be pressed further, she nodded.

"And what about your relatives...?"

"Are you going to buy it or not? If not, I'm leaving!"

The young man immediately noticed her undisguised impatience and quickly said, "Buy, buy, buy!"

"Rice, I'll give you 50 cents a pound without a coupon. Whole chickens, I'll give you 1.2 yuan a pound without a coupon. Whole ducks, I'll give you 1 yuan a pound, also without a coupon. As for these apples, I'll give you... 60 cents a pound. How about that?"

Yun Li nodded to indicate that she had no objection. The price was similar to what she had seen from others, or even a little bit higher.

The young man went inside to get a scale, weighed everything, and then carefully calculated the bill for Yun Li.

"Three jin of rice, five mao per jin, that's one yuan and fifty cents in total."

"The whole chicken weighs four pounds and six ounces, and costs five dollars and fifty-two cents in total."

Yun Li didn't speak, but listened quietly to what he had to say. After the young man finished writing down the number, he casually mumbled something else.

"How did you raise your chickens? They're so heavy."

How were they raised? They were free-range.

Yunli didn't respond, and the young man didn't mind, continuing to tell her the prices of ducks and apples.

"The duck weighs six pounds and eight ounces, which costs a total of six dollars and eight mao."

The young man's voice was trembling. His wallet was about to shrink drastically. He thought that his grandmother had enough to make up for it with a chicken and rice, so he decided to sell the duck.

Finally, "The apples weighed a total of four jin and eight liang, which cost two yuan and eighty-eight fen."

Goodness, this apple weighs almost a pound.

The young man was quite good at math, and he quoted the total price in just three seconds.

"It costs sixteen dollars and seventy cents in total."

Then Yunli saw him take off one shoe, rummage inside the shoe lining, and finally pull out a wad of cash.

Yun Li: "..."

I don't really want it anymore.

Perhaps Yun Li's expression was too obvious, because the young man smiled embarrassedly, "It doesn't smell. I put it in the lining of the back of the shoe, not on the sole of the foot."

After saying that, he added, "It's safe to keep it here."

Yun Li's face showed a look of disdain that was hard to describe. No wonder he wore cloth shoes in the hot weather.

He silently reached into his pocket and actually took out a clean white handkerchief from his spatial storage and held it in his palm.

"Put the money here."

The young man looked at the clean white handkerchief and felt that the money was a bit of a disservice to it.

He blushed and said, "It doesn't smell bad at all, and it's not dirty either. My grandma washes it for me every week."

Yun Li still held out her hand, but the young man slapped the money onto his handkerchief and said irritably, "Alright, the transaction is over. You can leave now."

Yun Li took the money and turned to leave, wondering as she walked if it would be enough for a train ticket.

Thinking about it, she headed towards the station to inquire about ticket prices.

Yun Li rushed out of the station in a panic after only about ten minutes inside.

A police officer patrolling the train station was chasing after her.

"Little one, don't run!"

As Yun Li ran, she was seething with anger. It was all because of her small frame that people thought she was only three years old. Not only did they refuse to sell her a ticket, but they also had to send her home.

What she didn't know was that even if she really had the body of an eight-year-old, no one would sell her a ticket for a child.

He was still a child without even an identity document.

Upon reaching the bend, Yun Li quickly scanned the area with his divine sense. Finding no one nearby, he swiftly entered his spatial dimension, finally shaking off the policeman.

When the policeman reached the bend, he realized he had lost the person and couldn't help but laugh.

What an extraordinary kid! He actually managed to shake off this professionally trained policeman.

If only we knew which organization it belonged to, we could train it from a young age and send it to the army when it grows up. It would definitely be a promising talent.

After everyone left, Yun Li changed into a refreshing blue dress, applied some whitening paint to her face, and then went to the train station again after leaving the space.

She looks completely different now than she did just now. The most obvious difference is that she had a dark face before, but now she has a white face.

She saw the policeman who had been chasing her earlier again, but Yun Li walked past him without changing her expression.

Sure enough, he didn't notice anything.

As they were walking, they were suddenly grabbed by a child who was about ten years old and dressed in tattered clothes.

Why are you arresting me?

The little boy put a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, then furtively covered his mouth with one hand and whispered in Yun Li's ear:

"I know you want to take the bus, and I have a way to get on without buying a ticket."

He just saw Yun Li ask about ticket prices and say he wanted to buy one, but not only did he not buy one, he almost got arrested.

Although she had changed into a more appropriate outfit this time, he still recognized her at a glance as the dark-faced girl from before.

If you ask how he recognized her, it's obviously by looking at her eyes.

The train station staff thought she was a three-year-old child, but he didn't think so, because a three-year-old child's eyes would never be so deep.

Therefore, he guessed that she was likely the legendary dwarf, and that her identity was unusual, so she couldn't produce a letter of introduction and could only pretend to be a child, afraid to tell the truth.

Upon hearing this, Yun Li's eyes lit up, and she took the little boy's hand and led him to a corner.

"Tell me, what's the solution?"

"Give me the money you're saving to buy tickets, and I'll tell you."

The little boy reached out his hand to her, his expression a bit cheeky.

Money is nothing to Yun Li; the jewelry in her spatial storage could make her richer than a country.

She was able to collect so many jewels entirely because all her previous lives were in apocalyptic times.

In the apocalypse, the most precious things are food and water. Jewelry and the like are no different from roadside stones, and they are even considered cumbersome to carry, so she just collected them all.

Yunli took out 16.7 yuan, which she had prepared to buy tickets, and handed it to the little boy.

"Here you go, now tell me!"
