Chapter 240 Entering the Market

Han Li didn't stop on the road because he had no money, and he walked all the way to the Xinhua Market.

After arriving here, Han Li found that the houses outside the main road were neat and uniform, but the layout of the houses inside was more messy, which caused the surrounding alleys to be full of forks.

Some of the houses and walls around were very low, and Han Li could easily climb over many places without running to gain leverage.

However, this also meets the definition of a black market, because it would be much more difficult for local officials to catch them, and it would also make it easier for people who came to trade to escape.

Seeing this situation, Han Li didn't want to continue traveling. This residential area was too large, and it was unknown when he would find it if the market was not open.

So Han Li found a guesthouse nearby, took out a letter of certification that he had written in advance, and planned to check in first.

The front desk clerk of the guesthouse was a sister-in-law. After reading Han Li's letter of certification, she asked a lot of questions, and then talked about a lot of rules of their guesthouse before checking him in.

The room was just so-so. There was a wooden washbasin stand and a washbasin at the door, and a table and two single beds inside.

There was a thermos and two teacups on the table, but you had to go to the hot water room to get hot water, and you had to pay an extra 5 cents.

However, the location of this room was good, on the second floor facing the street, which was convenient for Han Li to go to the black market at night to investigate.

After completing the formalities, Han Li went to a nearby place to have a simple meal, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

Today, his steps hardly stopped, and he had to go to the black market at night, so it was most important to keep his spirits in good shape.

The sky outside was getting darker and darker, and Han Li, who was resting, suddenly opened his eyes.

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was already 9:30 in the evening.

At this time of the season, many people were already sleeping in their beds.

There was almost no sound in the whole room except for the whistling wind coming from outside.

Han Li turned over and got off the bed, checked the latch of the door again, and gently moved the table to block the door.

At this time, he sorted out his things and tied Kaba 1217 within his reach.

He wrapped himself tightly with a hat and scarf, leaving only two eyes exposed.

He tied a rope to the bed leg in the room and tried to pull it.

Han Li used his mental power to check and found that there was no one outside, so he opened the window and jumped out.

Due to the limited range of mental power, Han Li immediately squatted in the shadow of the wall after jumping out to observe the surrounding situation.

After a while, he did not find anything unusual, so Han Li stood up and hid the rope, and then walked towards the alley next to Xinhua Market.

The road outside was very dark, but at least there was an orange street lamp every few meters to guide the road ahead.

But after entering the alley, it was so dark that it was almost pitch black. However, Han Li didn't care about this because he had mental power to explore the way, but it was still very quiet in this alley, which made Han Li a little blind.

But at this moment, several dogs barked in front of him, and Han Li immediately walked in the direction of the barking dogs.

After turning several corners in a row, there were some lights flickering in front of him.

At this time, Han Li's spirit sensed three or four people squatting in the shadow of the alley in front, but they were still some distance away from the lights. Could it be that these people were squatting to keep watch?

Han Li had also been to several black markets, but he had never encountered such a situation.

This meant that Brother Long either had no one above him or was not strong enough, or these things were not allowed to be seen in the light at all, which led to no one willing to help him.

In any case, Han Li had to cheer up. While they hadn't discovered him yet, he took out the backpack from the decomposition space and carried it on his back.

The backpack was covered up and looked heavy, but in fact there were only a few short javelins in it. After doing this, Han Li slowly walked towards the place where the lights gathered.

When Han Li walked to the entrance of an alley that had become significantly wider, he found two guards here, and people walking back and forth in the dim light. There were also a few people at the entrance of the alley bargaining with the guards. At this time, one of the two standing at the entrance of the alley spoke.

"I say, do you guys understand Brother Long's rules? Two cents per person, no bargaining. If you want to go in, pay the money quickly, otherwise you will go back to where you came from."

Han Li also saw the man's words clearly at this time. He also wrapped himself very tightly, leaving only his eyes outside, and stretched out his hand with a muffled hand to ask for money from the people in front.

The people in front put their heads together and muttered a few words, then left two people outside, and the others took out money and walked into the alley.

When it was Han Li's turn, he handed over the two cents very readily, and the two gatekeepers did not make it difficult for him. After receiving the money, they directly moved away from the road in front.

Han Li walked in and found that there were really a lot of people here, but he didn't know how many were shipping goods.

Moreover, the situation was completely different from the black markets he had been to. Everyone wrapped themselves up tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, as if they were afraid of being exposed and recognized.

There are quite a few people here, but basically no one talks much, and even if they do, they try to keep their voices down.

Moreover, the lanterns here are dimmed very weakly, and even the flashlights are wrapped with cloth.

The shadowy figures almost made Han Li think that he had walked into the set of a ghost movie.

Although Han Li had never been here, he could tell from the people gathered in front of the stalls that the things on those stalls were more popular.

There were the most people gathered in front of one of the big stalls, and the light there was the brightest. Han Li guessed what was going on without anyone introducing it.

However, Han Li did not rush to go there, but looked at the stalls one by one.

Han Li had not found what he liked halfway through, and at this moment, the voice of a sister-in-law sounded in his ears.

"Comrade, do you want food coupons? I have both national and local ones here."

"Oh, don't know how to exchange them?"

"It depends on what you use to exchange. If you are interested, let's go to the next room to discuss in detail. Don't worry, I am also under the protection of Brother Long, and I will never dare to break the rules here."

Han Li found that the sister-in-law spoke without any hesitation, and the people setting up stalls around did not behave strangely. Obviously, they had seen this kind of situation many times, so he nodded and followed her to the room next to her.
