After the rations ran out, Cai Tou could only gnaw on dry cakes and sweet potatoes with the other goods, and his temper grew more irritable. Whenever he saw someone who looked like a potential buyer, he'd eagerly rush over to promote his goods.
Qin Huai also tried to find out Zhao Cheng'an's whereabouts.
It was difficult.
This time, Qin Huai's range of action was extensive, almost unimpeded throughout the market, whether further out in the suburbs or closer to the shacks near the Outer City. It was hard to determine Zhao Cheng'an's location based solely on the range, given the sheer number of people in this area.
Shi Dadan had mentioned to Qin Huai that Mayflies are naturally buried in the soil or submerged in water, sleeping for long periods. If Zhao Cheng'an were to imitate Chen Huihong and bury himself, Qin Huai wouldn't be able to find her on the surface.
He can only wait for him to come out to steal again.
And this wait lasted two days.
