Chapter 21

This thing is valuable!

Jia Dongxu, covered in mud, turned pale with fright. Upon hearing the words "pay compensation," he turned tail and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Qin Huairu: ...

Wei Dali: ...

They just ran away like that?

Before the person had even finished speaking, they took off running?

They're hopeless.

Wei Dali shook his head.

Qin Huairu sighed, "Cousin, wait here for a moment. I'll go back and take another look, just in case something else goes wrong."

"Go ahead," Wei Dali nodded.

Ten minutes later, she returned.

Wei Dali asked, "How did it go?"

"It's nothing, I was just really scared, I almost lost my soul."

"Hmph," Wei Dali sneered, "a coward."

He suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Cousin, I can't see you off today. A colleague just gave me an urgent document that I have to send out right away."

He then pulled out a letter: "It's for military use, and we can't delay."

Qin Huairu was taken aback: "Isn't your home dozens of miles away?"

Wei Dali looked apologetic: "How about... you stay at my place for a while?"

"No way!" Qin Huairu immediately refused. "If I don't go back to the village tonight, people will definitely say I'm staying at Jia Dongxu's place. How am I supposed to live then?"

"Then you'll take a car? I'll pay."

"Where are the shuttle buses now? They've been gone for a long time."

"How about I have Jia Dongxu take you?"

She shook her head again: "How scared is that person? How can they still ride a bike?"

Just then, a tricycle sped past.

The driver was Liu Dong.

"Qin Huairu? What are you doing here?" He turned his head and saw her, somewhat surprised.

Actually, he didn't come to see her at all; he was out shopping after the sun had cooled down a bit.

Who knew it would turn out so coincidentally.

Qin Huairu's face relaxed immediately when she saw it was him: "This is Liu Dong from our compound. He lives with Dongxu. He's a very honest guy!"

Wei Dali sized Liu Dong up and down, then glanced at the tricycle, his eyes lighting up immediately: "Brother, can you do me a favor?"

"I was going to take her home, but then an important letter came in. It's from a soldier at the border, and I have to send it out tonight."

"Could you take my cousin back for me? I'll offer five thousand yuan as a reward, how about that?"

As he spoke, he handed over the letter.

Liu Dong took the letter, glanced at it, and his pupils constricted sharply—Blue Army Mail!

my God!

It was this!

What is the Blue Military Post? It has a light blue background, printed with "For Military Use," and a face value of 800 yuan.

The key point is that this is a military stamp issued last year, in 53, specifically for military personnel to send letters.

But within a few days, the country discovered that something was seriously wrong—the remaining enemy agents on the mainland could identify military communications by the color of stamps, intercept and sabotage them, and even trace the location and unit number of the troops.

Therefore, an emergency halt was ordered, and all items were recalled and destroyed.

But here's the problem: these tickets are anonymous, so once they're issued, they can't be taken back.

As a result, the existing blue military stamps are extremely rare, becoming priceless treasures in the stamp collecting world.

Decades later, one of these coins could fetch hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

This thing is valuable!

"Sure!" Liu Dong readily agreed, adding a condition: "I don't want the money, brother, but I want this stamp. Can you part with it?"

Click!

Wei Dali tore the stamp off cleanly and neatly, shoving it into his hand: "It's just an old stamp, already used. Here, take it!"

"Then... what about the letter?" Liu Dong was taken aback.

"Never mind that," Wei Dali waved his hand. "I have my own way of handling it."

Got it!

Liu Dong firmly gripped the blue military mail envelope in his palm. He took out four 50,000-yuan bills, placed them on the table, right on the corner of the kraft paper envelope, and casually pushed them to Old Wei at the post office.

"Hey bro, I really like this blue military mail uniform. If you see any more in the future, save them for me!"

"Two hundred thousand for everything, just give me twenty bills!"

Wei Dali's eyes widened like copper bells on the spot.

Two hundred thousand?

He didn't earn this much in half a year!

"Okay, okay, okay!" He nodded quickly. "I've got it, I've got it. Blue Army Mail, right? These things are rare, but I have a lot of connections and resources, I'll definitely get you one!"

"By the way, would you like some of the red and purple ones too? I'll sell them to you at a discount."

Liu Dong waved his hand: "No, no, I only recognize the blue one."

Although these stamps come in three colors, the blue one is the rarest and therefore the most valuable; the other two colors are practically worthless.

"Understood!" Wei Dali replied cheerfully. "Leave your address, brother, and I'll deliver it as soon as I've collected all the items!"

Liu Dong took out a pen and scribbled a few lines on the paper, leaving the address. Wei Dali pocketed the money, turned around, and strode away, his feet barely touching the ground.

Qin Huairu glanced at Liu Dong sideways.

Liu Dong glanced back at her.

Her face felt slightly flushed.

"Ding-dong—"

"System task issued!"

"Mission objective: According to the plot, escort Qin Huairu home!"

"Mission Reward: 888 million RMB in cash + one [Strengthening Bone Wine Vat]!"

"If you choose to refuse, you can still receive 888 million yuan in cash (without a wine vat)!"

"Host, do you wish to accept?"

【whether!】

Can I get a wine vat for free?

What are you waiting for!

Liu Dong raised his hand and pointed: Select "Yes"!

Then he cleared his throat: "Huai Ru, get in the car. It's a long way, the sooner we leave, the sooner we'll be back."

"Oh……"

Qin Huairu climbed into the open cargo bed at the back of the tricycle.

Liu Dong pushed off with his leg, and the tricycle shot off with a "whoosh".

It was getting quite dark by then, around six o'clock.

If you want to get back and forth as soon as possible, you have to keep moving.

Her hometown is not far from Niulanshan, next to the Chaobai River, about 80 miles away by bicycle from the city.

When we first left the city, the road was fairly smooth, but it started to change after we crossed the border of the capital – it was all dirt road, not full of potholes, but bumpy and uneven, making it very bumpy when riding fast.

Liu Dong pedaled very fast, the bike bouncing and clanging all the way.

While steadying herself, Qin Huairu couldn't help but praise, "Brother Dong... you're really strong... and the car is going so fast, it was a thrill ride!"

Actually, he was only going around 30 yards per minute, which is already considered fast on such a bad road.

More than an hour later, the sun set and night fell.

The sky was filled with stars, and the ponds by the fields were teeming with the croaking of frogs.

Suddenly, Qin Huairu shouted, "We're here! Dong-ge, we're home! This is it!"

Liu Dong's face stiffened: "If you're here, just say so. Why are you shouting so loudly?"

It's like something's really going on!

Qin Huairu added, "The village entrance is just ahead. You can drop me off here. If we go any further, the villagers might start gossiping."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Liu Dong slammed on the brakes.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said, "It's so hot... Huai Ru, come down, it's not far from your house."

It's only about a hundred meters away.

Qin Huairu held onto the edge of the carriage, preparing to jump off.

The result—I couldn't move!

"My...my legs are numb...my butt is numb too..." she muttered softly, her face turning bright red.

It's normal for your legs to feel numb after such a long and bumpy journey.

Liu Dong looked at her: "Why don't you rest for a while? Or... I'll carry you down?"

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and made a firm decision: "Brother Dong... then... carry me downstairs."
