Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 836: Borrowing a House

Seeing that Liu Jianjun was worried about the troubles that might arise in the guesthouse, Zhou Mingxuan quickly explained,

"Let's not go to the guest house, let's go to a friend's house and stay for a few hours."

“Do you have friends in Xi City?

Could it be that you have known each other for more than a year?" Liu Jingxue was surprised when she heard this.

She sighed in her heart that these two people had quite a wide range of contacts. She didn't see them going to Xi City often, so how come they had developed connections here as well?

It seems that a social expert is a social expert, and he is not comparable to someone like her who has social phobia.

Zhao Junhao shook his head, "That's not the case, we met in Beijing before.

The boy's uncle is the leader of Xi City. Things are not peaceful in Beijing, so in order to avoid the chaos, he was brought here.

He now works in a factory in the city. He is a leader of some kind and has rented a yard here.

Mingxuan and I have been to his place twice before.

His yard has a separate entrance and exit. Once the car drives in, the gate is closed and no one can get in.

He has to work during the day, so we can't disturb him, so it's convenient for us to stay for a few hours."

After hearing this, Liu Jingxue didn't ask any more questions.

Liu Jianjun took out his watch and looked at it. "At this time, he must have gone to work. Do you have the key to his house?"

“That’s not the case, but we know where he works, so we can just go to the factory and find him.

When we leave, let's leave two pieces of meat for him as a thank you gift.

Brother Jianjun, Xiaoxue, do you think this arrangement is okay?"

Before Liu Jianjun could answer, Liu Jingxue nodded first, "I think it's okay."

She didn't want to sit in the car for hours like a fool.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to go shopping in Xi City.

Although I passed by here several times by train, I just left as soon as I got off the train each time, and I was in a hurry, so I never really took a good look at this place.

Liu Jingxue couldn't help but grin with joy when she thought of the things she had collected into her space at the scrap yard in Xinshi and Linshan Town.

"This is Xi City, which is not much bigger than Linshan Town. I guess there is more than one scrap yard here, so there must be a lot of good stuff.

It’s just a pity that the previous ones were probably taken away by those who came here to buy things on Taobao.”

Thinking of the treasures that fell into his hands, Liu Jingxue felt a little distressed, as if she saw a lot of small coins waving goodbye to her.

She clenched her fists and said, "Now that we are here, we can't miss it. We have to go to various scrap yards to look for treasures."

In fact, there are already quite a few things left by the original owner in Liu Jingxue's space, as well as some good things she got from the scrap yard, the mountains, and the robbery in Xinshi.

But maybe she was short-sighted, or maybe she was afraid of being poor, she always wanted to get more good things for herself.

If the treasure had an owner, as a good citizen who grew up under the red flag, she would not take it herself, but for these ownerless items, she would naturally not be polite.

“Well, the original owner said that in addition to Xinshi, his ancestors also left treasures in the other two southern cities, but the number is not large.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to go there and take the treasure away.

Otherwise, I don’t know who will get the advantage in the future.”

When Zhou Mingxuan saw that Liu Jingxue agreed, he was perhaps even happy that he didn't have to suffer the cold in the car. He was so happy that he grinned and felt that he had made the right move.

He hurriedly asked Liu Jianjun, "Xiaoxue has agreed, what do you think, Brother Jianjun?"

Seeing that Liu Jingxue had agreed, Liu Jianjun naturally did not object, "It's up to you."

"Then let's go directly to his workplace and get the key from him."

As Zhou Mingxuan spoke, he restarted the car and slowly drove towards the city.

Once you enter Xi City, the feeling is completely different from that in Linshan Town.

There are many pedestrians on the road, some walking and some riding bicycles, and most of them are in a hurry, probably rushing to work.

Moreover, the snow on the streets has been cleared and piled on both sides so as not to affect people's passage.

The car was driving on the road, and although it attracted pedestrians to watch, it did not cause much sensation or chasing.

I guess there are still some cars driving on the streets of Xi City on weekdays.

There were too many pedestrians on the road, so Zhou Mingxuan didn't dare drive too fast. It took him nearly half an hour to finally arrive at the factory where his friend worked.

Zhou Mingxuan parked his car not far from the message room, instead of at the main entrance, which affected entry and exit.

After the car stopped, Zhao Junhao opened the door and got out. "You guys just wait in the car. I'll go find someone."

"Do you have anything with you?" Zhou Mingxuan asked.

Zhao Junhao patted his pocket and said, "Don't worry, I have cigarettes and candy. It's no problem to ask the guard to run errands and call someone."

"Then I won't go down. You go alone."

Liu Jianjun picked up Zhao Junhao's hat and scarf from the seat, handed them over, and shouted,

"Junhao, put on your hat and scarf, don't freeze."

Zhao Junhao quickly took two steps back, took the hat and scarf, put them on, and walked back to the guard room.

Liu Jingxue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw Zhao Junhao say a few words to the old man in the guard room and even took something out of his pocket and gave it to him.

Not long after, the old man came out of the guard room and ran into the factory, obviously going to call someone at Zhao Junhao's request.

After waiting for about eleven or twelve minutes, the security guard came hurriedly with a group of people.

Because of the cold weather and the wrapping was tight, Liu Jingxue couldn't see the person's appearance clearly.

Although she could use her spiritual sense to scan, she had no interest in investigating, so she did not release her spiritual sense.

Zhao Junhao spoke a few words to the man and pointed towards the car.

Zhou Mingxuan hurriedly got out of the car and waved over there, and the man waved back.

Zhao Junhao talked to the man for a while, and then they separated. Zhao Junhao walked over here, and the man waved to Zhou Mingxuan again and went back to the factory.

When Zhao Junhao came closer, Zhou Mingxuan asked, "How is it, did you get the key?"

Zhao Junhao patted his cotton coat pocket and said, "It's in my pocket.

By the way, he said in the afternoon that we didn’t need to send him the key, and that he could just put it in a small hole on the ground outside the window of the room.

He has to go out for some errands and won't be back until late at night."

"He said we were lucky. If we were half an hour later, he would have been out."

Zhou Mingxuan was relieved when he heard this, "It seems that we are really lucky, otherwise we would have come up empty-handed."

The two got in the car and it started again.

"Did you ask him if he would go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, which is just a few days away?"

"I asked, but he said he couldn't answer."

Zhao Junhao's voice was low. "He said that his family's situation has been bad recently, and his family members asked them not to move around, let alone return to Beijing, lest they be accidentally tricked."

Zhou Mingxuan sighed and said, "After returning to Beijing, let's go check out the situation and help if we can.

But you can't do anything reckless, otherwise it will cause trouble for the family.

After all, our family has only been stable for a short time."

Zhao Junhao nodded, "I think so too."
