“Hey,” the old man finally realized that something was wrong and laughed even more. “You’re quite mature, kid.”
Jiang Yue only smiled.
“Thank you.” After thanking him politely, Jiang Yue returned to the small stool beside Xue Dafu and the others.
Xue Dafu and the others weren’t too far away, so they heard the conversation between Jiang Yue and the old man. They finally realized that Jiang Yue was much smarter and steadier than an ordinary three-year-old child.
However, Xue Yan was a child prodigy and had always been smarter than ordinary people. They were used to it and didn’t notice anything strange about Jiang Yue. Xue Dafu and the others only thought that Jiang Yue was smarter and more mature than ordinary children.
When they saw Jiang Yue return, Xue Dafu and the others even praised her, “Jiang Yue, why are you so smart? How did you know what to ask?”
They actually didn’t know that questions like these could be asked. They were just willing to sit here and wait for people to come and buy their prey.
Ever since she followed Xue Dafu and Xue Yan home, Jiang Yue had been praised all the time, and she had gotten used to it.
Thinking that Xue Dafu and Xue Yifu were too honest and slow-witted, Jiang Yue said to Xue Dafu, “You heard it just now. Lakshimi Restaurant will offer a higher price. I want to go to Lakshimi Restaurant and see if they want the blind bear. If they do, how much do you think they will offer?”
“Great, this is great!” Xue Dafu rubbed his hands in excitement. “Erfu, hurry up and go.”
“It just so happens that I’ve been to Lakshimi Restaurant before when I came to town, so I know how to get there. I’ll go. You guys look after Jiang Yue. We’re in town, not home.” With that, Xue Erfu strode away with his long legs.
Xue Yifu was excited as well. Just now, those people had offered a price of ten silver. If Lakshimi Restaurant offers a higher price, then ten silver would be nothing to them.
Even if it wasn’t eighty silver, it would already be more than what the people here can offer.
In fact, he felt that ten silver was considered a lot already.
On the other hand, Jiang Yue was not excited at all. She was still very calm, but when she looked at the hunting area of the market, she saw someone looking in her direction.
Xue Erfu only returned after two hours.
Xue Erfu ran back, panting heavily. He couldn’t speak at all, and could only hold his knees with his hands.
Xue Dafu and Xue Yifu were getting anxious as they asked, “Lakshimi Restaurant isn’t far, right? why did you go for so long? We almost thought that something had happened to you.”
Xue Erfu had run too fast and was still panting so hard that he couldn’t speak. He could only wave his hand to indicate that he was fine.
After catching his breath, Xue Erfu said with a happy face, “When I arrived at Lakshimi Restaurant, it just so happened that the innkeeper wasn’t around, so no one could make the decision. But when they heard that it was the blind bear, they all told me to sit and wait for the innkeeper to return and ask him. That’s why it took so long. When the innkeeper came back and heard about this matter, he immediately said that he would give fifty silver. If the bear is really as old as I said, he will see the situation and add more silver.”
“Fifty silver, that much?” Even though it wasn’t 80 silver, Xue Dafu and Xue Yifu couldn’t help but rub their hands together in excitement.
“Right! The innkeeper said that it was at least fifty silver, and he even told us to quickly bring the blind bear over so that we can set the final price.” Xue Erfu was overjoyed. “Let’s quickly bring the blind bear over and let the innkeeper take a look. This blind bear is so big. I think it’s definitely like what Xue Yan said. It’ll be worth at least eighty silver.”
