I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel

Chapter 112: Chapter 109: He Said Saving Lives Can Unlock New Abilities

But why can’t she remember anything?

No, she needs to calm down!

Tonight’s events, whether in reality or in the fragments in her mind, have overwhelmed her; she needs to go back and take a breather.

"Can I still go back? Wasn’t it impossible before?"

"You’ve saved quite a few people, so yes, you can! Also... I guess your current house deed is in your name."

Jiang Mingyue snapped out of her earlier confusion, and her mind started working quickly.

"Are you saying that if both of us are in location A, as long as I have property under my name in location B or C, I can shuttle back and forth without having to struggle with riding a bicycle like before?"

"Yes!"

"Wait, Yan Jinzhi, why do you know these things better than I, the owner, do? Who exactly are you? Or, did we know each other in a past life?"

Jiang Mingyue finally threw out the question that she had kept secret and dared not speak, because this person was too peculiar. Of course, another reason is:

She somehow assured herself that he would absolutely not harm her.

"Think for yourself." With that, he held her, took a few leaps, and returned to the mountaintop.

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Could the fragments all be real? Impossible!

"Hurry back to sleep."

With that, the man left without looking back.

Jiang Mingyue felt a bit vexed: Wasn’t he just confessing? Now he’s ignoring her.

Ha! Men!

Jiang Mingyue didn’t linger for long, quickly retreating behind a tree and slipping into the space.

This time she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep again, so Jiang Mingyue simply went to plant.

After harvesting six thousand pounds of sweet potatoes, Jiang Mingyue stacked them in the space and took some rice seeds; there was no rice to eat at home, so they needed to be planted soon.

Once done, Jiang Mingyue went to check her farm, picking out some eggs. If not picked, they would mostly hatch into chicks. While propagation was important, eggs were also crucial. Now that she’s back, her family would have one egg per person per day without fail. Plus, cooking requires eggs, so the consumption is quite large.

In Cang County, such an environment was not suitable for distributing meat, as it would attract the attention of some sly individuals. Therefore, Yan Jinzhi insisted that she must not take them out. As a result, her chickens and rabbits were now proliferating, making her feel as if a mountain of gold was calling out to her.

Since she could go to her own properties, could she go to that courtyard in the black market? And perhaps sell a batch of chickens and rabbits?

Jiang Mingyue acted immediately, soon entering the previous house with a basement. She released her spiritual power and found no one else was there.

Her spiritual power also detected that despite the late hour, there were quite a few people bustling around the market outside, and over there, Pan Zhoucong was having tea.

Great!

Jiang Mingyue waved her hand, and the chickens and rabbits swarmed into the yard. She then moved the prepared straw quickly to bind all the chickens’ and rabbits’ feet together.

Jiang Mingyue cheerfully opened the door to meet with Pan.

Seeing Jiang Mingyue in the middle of the night, Pan Zhoucong was very surprised but also delighted.

"Mr. Jiang, this is great. I need ten thousand chickens and rabbits each from you. Of course, if there are more, that’s even better. I’ll take as many as you have."

Jiang Mingyue: "... I don’t have that many. I have six thousand chickens and nine thousand rabbits." She regretted taking the eggs earlier; she’s currently very poor, aside from the untouched amount given by her eldest cousin and others, she had already donated seventy-eight thousand dollars she had saved up herself.

From the batch of fabric Da Qiang sent last time, she took it all out, and Uncle O had the Cang County Clothing Factory work overnight to make ready-to-wear clothing for the disaster victims, which still wasn’t enough. She took out more money to purchase the factory’s inventory to donate. Although they gave a thirty-percent discount, she still spent a lot of money, including on blankets and building materials to repair houses, all of which she funded.

Luckily, she had chickens and rabbits!

"Mr. Jiang, what about the others? Like marinated chicken and spicy rabbit cubes, and the jam you mentioned last time." Pan Zhoucong had a look that seemed to ask: Where are the goods?

"Cough cough... Brother Pan, I’ve been busy with some things recently and haven’t had time to source raw materials, so I don’t have any of those right now. Once I have them ready, I’ll definitely deliver them to you."

Although disappointed, he said: "I naturally trust Mr. Jiang. However, I hope Mr. Jiang will cooperate with me for the long term. If you have any thoughts on the price or anything else, feel free to raise them."

Was he suspecting she found another buyer?

"Don’t overthink it, I’m just expressing my wishes." Pan Zhoucong rubbed his hands together, "After all, I really hope we can keep working together."

"I appreciate Brother Pan’s sincerity."

"By the way, what about the collaboration with that senior from Port City we talked about before?"

"The prescription? Right? Brother Pan, sorry, I asked, but they don’t have a prescription. I suspect they...". There was no need for her to finish the sentence; clever people would understand.

Pan Zhoucong sighed: "It’s okay; I’ll explain it to him later."

If Jiang Mingyue hadn’t had this deep collaboration with Yan Jinzhi, she might have considered meeting that senior from Port City.

But now, who knows if that person would leverage their research to drain the pockets of our people? Of course, her biggest fear was it falling into the hands of those in Beautiful Country. Hence, for something so groundbreaking, she only wanted to turn it over to the national authorities. She didn’t have any channels before, but that’s different now.

"Oh, by the way, the delivery point has changed this time; it’s in the courtyard in front. You can let Da Qiang send someone to check now."

"No rush! Uncle Mute, prepare the money." He spoke swiftly!

Soon, a stack of cash was placed in front of Jiang Mingyue: "Mr. Jiang, a total of forty-five thousand, five hundred dollars; count it."

"No need to count, it’s definitely right. Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first."

Pan Zhoucong hesitated: "So, Mr. Jiang, when will you come next time?"

He still had a gap of five thousand to fill! It’s really hard to find meat these days.

"Around the same time, I guess. I’m not sure, but as soon as I acquire more, I’ll deliver them to Brother Pan immediately."

"Alright then."

Then, Pan Zhoucong took a basket from Uncle Mute and handed it to Jiang Mingyue: "Mr. Jiang, I had someone bring some small trinkets for girls from Port City; you might like them."

Jiang Mingyue lifted the cloth and saw various earrings, colorful bracelets, and animal-shaped pendants, necklaces, hairpins, and the like. They were handicrafts, mostly of silver, indeed just small trinkets. She happily accepted them.

"Thank you, Brother Pan. Goodbye!"

With that, she turned on her heel and left, without leaving a trace.

Pan Zhoucong, whose hand was still in mid-air: "..."

Da Qiang, whose hand was also in mid-air: "..."

Likewise, Uncle Mute, whose hand was also in mid-air: "..."

Afterward, they all exchanged glances and eventually nonchalantly retracted their hands, placing them in their pockets.

Jiang Mingyue couldn’t wait to visit the night market; it turned out to be a night market, but it was vastly different from the bustling, brightly lit, crowded street scenes of her past life.

This large area had only one street lamp at the entrance and one at the back door by the small woods, each with a ten-watt warm yellow bulb, hanging on someone’s second-floor exterior wall.

This?

However, it was indeed bustling. Despite the time, there were quite a few people sneaking around, looking around warily, just like people doing a secret trade. But whether they were there to buy or sell, why weren’t there any goods visible?

Jiang Mingyue originally intended to find a bargain, but seeing the situation, she lost interest and was about to turn back when she suddenly saw a figure.

Jiang Zhenzhu?
