After finishing the dry rations, Lu Xi'an carried the rattan box they harvested yesterday, placing Gou along with a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine inside, and then carrying a diesel generator in hand, together with Yao Wei, followed Hu Xiaodong to the early market.
The rattan box proved to be sturdy and practical; placing Gou inside not only freed up their hands but also reduced attention.
After communicating with Hu Xiaodong yesterday, Lu Xi'an confirmed that cigarettes and alcohol on this East Island have surprisingly strong purchasing power.
Especially cigarettes, now on this island, are likely priced but not available. They might not even need to use wine at the early market; Lu Xi'an keeps it as a precaution.
He even opened a pack of cigarettes, pocketing loose cigarettes so he could take out a single one from his pocket, avoiding drawing too much attention by taking out an entire pack.
