Chapter 384 Meeting an acquaintance in the black market

After leaving the office, Li Kailang went straight to the lounge to take a short rest.

It's just that he wants to live in peace, but others may not share his wish.

"Master Li, can you please teach us how to find a partner like Miss Lou?"

Those apprentices and even some masters came to ask for experience with flattering faces.

Li Kailang was so scared that he ran away, "I really don't know, don't look for me."

Li Kailang looked for a quiet place and ran directly to the shooting range.

"It's finally quiet."

Li Kailang breathed a sigh of relief. In the first few days of the month, there were almost no people at the shooting range.

In addition, it was almost noon, there were not many people around, and there were no tasks to be done, so Li Kailang was happy to take a rest here.

Looking at the bullets left on the shooting range, Li Kailang thought of something.

"Gun? I haven't had any restocking in a while. There are only a few of them. I don't know if there are any other guns for sale on the black market. I'll take some time to go over there tonight."

The number of guns in Li Kailang's hand was not too many, but not too few either. However, it was a long distance away from the gun arsenal.

Collect slowly, don't rush.

Having made up his mind, Li Kailang waited until night to go to the black market.

late at night.

Li Kailang climbed out of the yard and headed towards the Dongxiao black market.

Seeing how quiet it was, Li Kailang muttered to himself, "The streets are much quieter now. There aren't so many police patrolling. This is a relief."

After the National Day, everything returned to normal, which made it easier for the black market to develop.

Not long after, Li Kailang arrived at the black market, where there were still so many people.

There are even a lot more. It seems that they were suppressed by the National Day. They were closed for a few days, but as soon as they were opened, all the shops came in at once.

"There's no rush to buy the gun, let's take a look first."

Li Kailang strolled around this huge black market, looking left and right.

The clothes are still the same old clothes, and the stall owners are still the same old stall owners.

Suddenly, Li Kailang noticed that at a stall not far away, there were a few people stopping there to bargain with the stall owner. Listening to the discussion, he walked over curiously to take a look.

“It turns out he sells antiques.”

Coming closer, Li Kailang looked at the many antique artifacts displayed on the stall and picked up one out of curiosity.

Suddenly I felt some sand in my hands, and it was very frictional.

Looking closer, I saw that there was a very thin layer of dirt on the antique. Although it was cleaned very carefully, there was still a very small part that was not cleaned off.

In addition, Li Kailang sniffed carefully and smelled an earthy smell on the antique.

"This is something that was just dug up. It looks like this was done by a tomb robber." Li Kailang looked up at the stall owner.

Being stared at by Li Kailang, the stall owner felt a little guilty and pretended to be stern and restrained: "Comrade, do you want to, do you want to, do you want to block everyone's view?"

Li Kailang said calmly: "What's the hurry? I'll see if there's anything good. I'll buy it if it's suitable."

Seeing that Li Kailang was not afraid of him at all, the stall owner was a little scared. "Look carefully before you take it. Don't take it carelessly. What if you break it?"

Li Kailang was too lazy to reply to him, which made the stall owner even more certain that Li Kailang was not a good person.

At this time, a voice was heard.

"Comrade, this is a good thing. Look at its quality. You can't find it anywhere else."

Li Kailang frowned when he heard the voice, "This voice is so familiar, why do I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."

Following the voice, they found that it was an acquaintance. Li Kailang and they had just met some time ago.

"I didn't expect it to be Su Daqiang and Su Xiaoqiang. Why are they setting up a stall here? Let's go and take a look."

Li Kailang curiously leaned over to take a look, and the stall owner in front of him breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

When they approached Su Daqiang's stall, they were surprised to see that all the things on the stall were the jewelry he had left for them that day.

"Comrade, which one do you want? Look at the quality of this one, it's really good, it's perfect to give it to someone as a gift." Su Daqiang greeted hurriedly.

It's no wonder he said that. He was really anxious. The police came to the village some time ago and scared them so much that they didn't dare to sell the animals.

It was only ten days later, and I had to take advantage of the National Day when there were many people around to sell them, otherwise there would be no money left at home.

He also found a grave during this period and urgently needed money to buy some suitable tools and supplement his family income.

Li Kailang calmly picked up a piece of jewelry and said, "It looks quite new. Why is the boss thinking of selling it? Why not keep it as a family heirloom?"

When Su Daqiang heard Li Kailang say this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"My mother is ill and I need money for her treatment. I have no other choice but to sell my wife's jewelry."

"I see, I see you have a lot of jewelry, why don't you pawn it."

"The pawnshop is such a rip-off. They heard that I was selling it to save my mother, so they kept the price very low. Instead of selling it to them, I might as well sell it to everyone and get more money for treatment."

Su Daqiang's words were so sincere and heartfelt that one could not help but feel pity for him. He is truly a rare filial son.

"Bah, you speak like it's true. If I didn't know where it came from, I would have almost been fooled by you." Li Kailang cursed in his heart.

If he didn't know the truth, he would have been fooled by Su Daqiang just by listening to his words.

"I see. Just because the boss is such a filial son, I will support him in any way I can."

Su Daqiang waved his hands repeatedly, pretending to be considerate of him and said, "No, no, just buy it if you think it's suitable. You don't have to buy it specially and waste the money."

After hearing this, who would refuse to spend money to buy it? Su Daqiang did a great job.

Li Kailang pretended to be generous and picked up a piece of jewelry: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, how much do I want for this?"

“This one is 7 dollars.”

Li Kailang gave him 7 yuan truthfully. He spent the money not for the jewelry, but to support Su Daqiang's "business".

He still wants to continue robbing Su Daqiang's "harvest". How can he continue to do it without some financial support?

"Thank you." Li Kailang took the jewelry and left. "This jewelry is really nice."

When others saw Li Kailang buy it and heard Su Daqiang say so, although no one believed it, they thought the jewelry was pretty good and no one minded paying for one.

In a short while, all the hand gestures on Su Daqiang's stall were sold out.

"Hey, this guy is really our lucky star. Everyone comes to buy when he starts buying. They sell out so quickly. Let's go, let's get out of here!"

Su Daqiang and Su Xiaoqiang immediately moved to a remote corner and looked at the money in their hands happily.

"Dad, this is quite a lot of money." Su Xiaoqiang looked at the money in Su Daqiang's hand. It was quite a lot of money.

"Pa!" Su Daqiang slapped away Su Xiaoqiang's outstretched hand and said unhappily, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"How can I not be anxious? This is so much money. I have never seen so much in my life."

"Look at you, you are such a loser."

For the sake of money, Su Xiaoqiang was too lazy to refute and just nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, what Dad said is right."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the money in Su Daqiang's hand.

"Hmph!" Su Daqiang snorted coldly when he saw his son being so useless, but considering the money, he was not much better.

It was also the first time for him to touch so much money, which made him more determined to continue his "business."

"What a pity, we could have sold more." Su Daqiang was a little unwilling to give up.

I only made a hundred yuan, and even if I can't double it, I can at least make another 50 yuan. However, when buying things on the black market, you have to bargain for it more or less.

"Forget it, it's not bad to earn so much." Soon, Su Daqiang accepted this fact with an open mind and drew out two big black tens.

"Take it!"

"Oh." Su Xiaoqiang took it happily and was in a very good mood.

"Muamu!" He kissed it twice as if it was his last time to touch so much money.

After quickly putting it away, Su Xiaoqiang set his eyes on the money in Su Daqiang's hand. Su Daqiang still had a lot of money in his hand.

"What are you doing! Don't even think about it, this money is not yours!" Su Daqiang immediately took the money and put it in the lining.

Su Xiaoqiang said unwillingly, "Dad, you only give me this little money. I worked so hard with you for several days, and you just send me away like this?" Su Daqiang said angrily, "Look at you, do you really think that the remaining money is mine? Food and grain are free at home."

"Also, what did we say at home last time? After we sell our stuff this time, we still have to buy guns. Guns are so expensive."

"If you don't buy a gun, do you still want to be robbed?"

When he said this, Su Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth in hatred, his eyes flashed with fire, that was 10 gold ingots, so much money!
Su Xiaoqiang said angrily: "Buy! I must buy a gun, buy a few more. If I meet that guy again, I will shoot him to death!"

"Damn it, someone stole something from me, I'm tired of living like this!"

"Pa!" Su Daqiang slapped his son on the head. "Just talk, don't be so loud, you want to wake everyone up."

Su Xiaoqiang touched his head with a wronged look on his face, "I pissed him off to death. I couldn't control myself."

"Be careful next time." Su Daqiang rolled his eyes.

Not far from the two of them, Li Kailang had a gloomy expression on his face and listened to the entire conversation.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect that I would actually help the enemy and buy guns to fight me. Ah this."

Li Kailang felt extremely complicated at this moment. He had originally wanted to support their careers, but he didn't expect that they would come to deal with him in the end.

This is not the case of stealing a chicken but losing the rice, and shooting oneself in the foot.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later. At least we know what they are going to do. Next time we meet them, just be careful."

Since he knew that the two men were going to buy guns to deal with him, Li Kailang would naturally be prepared.

Fortunately, I knew about it in advance. If I was caught off guard and was suddenly shot by them, it would have been terrible.

"Let's go, it's still early. I know where someone sells guns. Let's go find them."

The two men hurriedly went to find the arms dealer. Li Kailang followed them from a distance, wanting to see what kind of guns they wanted to buy so that he could make preparations.

Following the two people, turning left and right, they came to a remote alley. At this point, Li Kailang did not chase them anymore.

"Hey, comrade, I'm here to buy this." Su Daqiang gestured to the person in front of him.

When he saw the gesture, he immediately understood what it meant. He looked behind the two people and found that no one was chasing him, so he let down his guard.

"What do you want money for?"

"What guns do you have?"

When the man heard what Su Daqiang said, he realized that he was just a rookie and could be slaughtered, so he immediately introduced the gun models and prices one by one.

"Why does the voice of this gun seller sound so familiar?" Li Kailang wondered again.

Listening carefully to what he said, Li Kailang suddenly remembered, "Isn't this Lao Zhang? Didn't he sell guns in other black markets before? Why did he come here?"

The person who spoke was Lao Zhang, whom Li Kailang had dealt with before. The two sides had traded many times, and many guns were bought from him.

If it weren’t for the unpleasantness last time, the two sides would have broken off their friendship and stopped having any contact with each other.

"What a coincidence! It's been half a year since we last saw each other, right?" Li Kailang couldn't remember clearly.

Speaking of which, Lao Zhang and the others missed the days when Li Kailang was around. The five of them now often regretted having made enemies with Li Kailang.

Old Zhang would complain to the eldest brother from time to time: "Look, look, we were doing good business with others, but you guys ruined it."

"Isn't it just a small matter? If the things are taken away, they are taken away. The higher-ups haven't investigated yet, but you guys have driven away a big customer by doing this."

"Now, what kind of people are we trading with? We need money, but we need food. The only people who can give us food have been taken away by you."

Listening to Lao Zhang's complaints, the other four did not dare to refute, especially the eldest brother, who did not dare to say a word and regretted it every time he mentioned this.

For them, without Li Kailang, their lives became miserable and out of control.

In the past, when doing business with Li Kailang, he would give me money when he asked for money and food when he asked for food. Everyone was happy and made money.

Now when trading with others, they are very stingy and try to get a discount when asking for money, but when asking for food, they don’t give any and just turn around and leave.

In this comparison, Li Kailang appears so prominent and important.

All the food that we bought from Li Kailang has been eaten up, and now we don’t know where to buy food, so we have to go hungry from time to time.

These days are so miserable!
This is not the end yet. The original local business was not good either, which made things even worse, so they had to open up other black market trade routes.

Unfortunately, Li Kailang didn’t know the truth, otherwise he would have ridiculed him in person.

Closer to home.

"There are only these guns, which one do you want?" Lao Zhang said indifferently.

"Dad, what do you think?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.

"Stop making noise, let me think about it?" Su Daqiang lowered his head and thought.

Old Zhang didn't urge him, just waited quietly.

After a while, Su Daqiang came up with an idea, "I want a silencer gun and a box gun."

"Are you sure? One silencer and one box?"

"Sure, just these two."

"Okay, wait, I'll go get the money." Lao Zhang turned and left.

"Dad, if you want this silencer, wouldn't it be better to have two boxes?"

"Stupid! Silence it, of course it can silence the sound, you don't think you can shoot anywhere, do you? You are risking your life."

Su Daqiang was so angry at Su Xiaoqiang's stupidity that he was speechless.

The box gun is the Mauser M1932 submachine gun. There is nothing much to say about it, except that it can hold 20 rounds of bullets.

The silencer is the Nagant M1895 revolver. Because it can silence the sound, Su Daqiang thought it was impossible to shoot anywhere.

At the same time, I chose this gun because I was thinking of being able to launch a sneak attack. If I encounter any emergency, this gun may be useful.

"Oh, that's how it is." After listening to his father's explanation, Su Xiaoqiang finally understood.

Not long after, Lao Zhang came back with two guns and bullets, "Here are the guns, check them."

The two men touched the gun for the first time and looked left and right excitedly. As for inspection, they didn’t know what they could find out.

"There's nothing wrong with the stuff." Su Daqiang said.

"Okay, here are 50 rounds of ammunition for free, 35 for the box, and 15 for the silencer."

Su Daqiang stretched out his hand to take the bullet, but Lao Zhang immediately retracted his hand and stretched out his other hand, "Pay the money first."

"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot, how much is it?"

"50 Yuan!"

"It's so expensive!"

"If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to give it up." Lao Zhang pretended to take it away.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Su Daqiang gritted his teeth. How could he not want it? Last time he didn't have a gun and was forced to hand it over by Li Kailang. This time, he had to have money no matter what.

I want it no matter how expensive it is.

"We want the gun, and we want some more bullets, 100 rounds."

"Okay." Lao Zhang directly took out 100 bullets from his cloak.

Here are 70 rounds of box gun bullets and 30 rounds of silenced high-strength bullets.

"20 yuan."

The round trip cost 70 yuan, and after paying the money, Su Daqiang had only 30 yuan left.

"Thank you for your patronage. Goodbye!" After receiving the money, Lao Zhang was very happy. He earned 5% of the money for free.

Su Daqiang and Su Xiaoqiang were also very happy. With guns, it would be much safer to go mining in the future, and they would no longer be afraid of being robbed by other criminals.

“So these are the two guns.”

Li Kailang eavesdropped in the corner and saw everything clearly. He knew how many guns there were and what they were, which would make it easier for him to deal with them if he encountered them again in the future.

Li Kailang sneered, "Even these two are still no match for my light machine gun."

Hearing that the two men were coming towards him, Li Kailang left immediately without any intention of robbing them.

He also wanted the two of them to "go to the mines" more often and dig out more treasures. They couldn't just rob them like this, otherwise they would have no motivation to work in the future.

The two men didn't know that they had been tricked by Li Kailang, and they were still happily taking their guns back home.
