Chapter 160 His Acquaintance
Su Wanwan naturally returned to the open space under the tree and began to stir the rice in her hands, which contained peeled corn and potatoes. Bai Luwei, who had finished beating rice a long time ago, was already waiting here. When she saw Xu Yan and Su Wanwan, she hurriedly grabbed Xu Yan and turned her eyes to Su Wanwan and said, "Oh, it's amazing! The news about your heroic deeds yesterday has spread all over the village! Your story is written on the small blackboard next to the radio station!"
Hearing "your affairs", Su Wanwan's cheeks became slightly hot. She simply turned half of her face away, unwilling to look directly at Bai Luwei. Bai Luwei, who was unaware, continued to speak: "I also heard that last night when you just transferred to the girls' dormitory, Li Meifen made a big fuss because of her arrogant personality, and she might have even hit someone! I expected this to happen. She is so strong and always gets into trouble! Is this news true?"
Bai Luwei lowered his voice and leaned forward to avoid being heard by other young people. "It is said that after the beating, Li Meifen was locked up. I waited here for a long time, until everyone entered the cafeteria, but she didn't show up."
Su Wanwan nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, they were detained for three days and some people were injured."
"I saw it. Were you the one she hurt yesterday?" Bai Luwei stared at Su Wanwan's arm wrapped in gauze, his eyes wide open.
"Hey, you two didn't do anything. Instead, it was she and Lan Ying who started the quarrel." Su Wanwan clarified concisely while eating.
Since coming to Baihua Village, Bai Luwei has known nothing except sleeping and working. He doesn't know most of the young people in the village. It is estimated that only the few production team partners who work with him are his acquaintances.
Therefore, when Su Wanwan mentioned Lan Ying, he looked confused and his eyes were full of puzzlement, like a label of inquiry.
"Look, that's the one over there." Noticing Bai Luwei's curiosity and eagerness, Su Wanwan casually pointed at a figure in the distance with her elbow.
"Isn't she the one who argued with Li Meifen and me yesterday at noon?" Looking at Lan Ying who was having dinner with other young women not far away, Bai Luwei immediately turned around and asked Su Wanwan, his expression full of curiosity.
Su Wanwan nodded slightly to confirm.
In another corner of the cafeteria, several young women gathered together and chatted about what happened last night while eating.
"Oh, don't say anymore. I was hit on the head by that piece of wood yesterday, and it still hurts. My whole body feels dizzy, and I can't even stand steadily. I don't know when I will fall down!" Lan Ying would not miss any companions who cared about her injuries. She recounted what happened yesterday with exaggeration and gently stroked her intact head.
"What should we do then? Should we take medicine or get injections?" The girls had limited medical knowledge. Lan Ying, as a half-medical expert, stood out among this group of people. After hearing these questions, her previously somewhat lost expression instantly turned serious, and even a hint of disgust could be unavoidable at the corners of her lips.
"How can you talk like that? I'm in this condition, and you're still cursing me to death! I'm just dizzy and in pain, it's nothing serious! Don't say anything more!" Her temper flared up. The others knew that they had angered Lan Ying, so they politely responded with a few words and then left, making the excuse that they had finished their meal.
After finishing her meal, Lan Ying quickly packed her lunch box and hung it on her shoulder. She seemed to be in a hurry to do something important and left the cafeteria quickly. Su Wanwan, who was standing by, saw Lan Ying's anxious look and immediately realized what was about to happen. She quickly swallowed the remaining food and hurriedly got up and left.
Bai Juyi was wondering whether he needed more food. While he was hesitating, Su Wanwan and Xu Yan, who were eating beside him, were left with only the backs of their heads. If he had raised his head a little later, he would have missed their departure.
"What's going on? I just ate a few bites, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Complaining Bai Luwei had to get up again, get himself a meal, and sit down to eat.
Lan Ying hurried back to the clinic, but she didn't expect Xu Yan and Su Wanwan to return almost at the same time as her. Her packing action paused slightly, and then there was a hint of unquestionable command in her tone.
Have I finally waited for you?
Su Wanwan's heart was beating fast, and her face was full of flattering smiles, and she could hardly hide her joy. Xu Yan next to her looked normal, and there was nothing unusual about him. This made her doubt Xu Yan's inner strength. Could he remain calm in all situations, or even pretend to be calm?
"Got it." Confused as to why Su Wanwan suddenly became happy, Lan Ying stared at her for a moment, then went out carrying the blue and white striped floral bag.
Su Wanwan was really happy because she had waited for a whole morning and things were indeed moving in the direction they had hoped for. Lan Ying was going to her side job!
The two injured people in the clinic fell into a deep sleep after their families fed them. Their injuries seemed stable and no one cried out in pain. One of the people with numbness in his lower limbs gradually regained some feeling after resting for a whole night.
Su Wanwan and Xu Yan made sure that Lan Ying had gone far away before they left the clinic carefully. Since Xu Yan knew the secret processing place, the two of them went straight to the hidden underground studio. They didn't see any figure patrolling in the village along the way, nor did they catch up with Lan Ying who had left earlier.
After all, this is an illegal activity, and the sooner it is completed the better, so Lan Ying would not delay on the road, and she would have reached her destination quickly.
Arriving outside the underground processing house, Xu Yan directed Su Wanwan to hide in a weedy area, using the weeds as cover. "There are indeed voices in the front room!" Su Wanwan listened attentively, trying to distinguish the voices coming from the house as conversations.
"Well, they plan to take some pickled pork to the market to sell in the afternoon." Before Su Wanwan could react to the content of their conversation, Xu Yan had already informed her of his gains.
After a moment of silence, Su Wanwan's brain was unable to process the news: "Where are they... going to take these to sell?" Even if it was pre-processed bacon, it was a difficult problem for her to take so many strong-smelling and large bowls of it to the town without attracting attention.
What's more, the distance between the village and the market is quite long. Even if you walk there, it will take half an afternoon.
The distance between Baihua Village and the market is definitely farther than their village. To sell so many goods and come back without being noticed...Su Wanwan turned to Xu Yan in confusion.
When Lan Ying left the clinic just now, she only said that she had something to do in the afternoon, which meant that she would most likely be back when the educated youth went to the canteen for dinner. Therefore, she only had one afternoon now.
"Maybe they have their own means of transportation." Xu Yan was silent for a moment beside Su Wanwan and said softly.
"I'm afraid that's it." Su Wanwan couldn't find any other reasonable explanation.
