Chapter 29: Test with Shopkeeper Wan (1/2)
”Ahahahahah!”
Upon seeing that the arrow went straight to the deer's heart, Lin Xiao was excited. He didn't pull the arrow out and quickly took hold of the deer's body. Carrying it with him, he soon got back home.
Lin Yun and Wenren Yu were stunned speechless when they saw Lin Xiao returned back with a deer.
”Brother, your luck is very good!”
”Of course! There should be still enough salt to preserve the meat for a few days. We won't be lacking in meat at all for now,” Lin Xiao said with a grin. The deer was quite large and because there were three of them, it might not last that long. At most, it would only last for two weeks.
Before the time was up, he would have to start hunting again or probably, fished?
”I'll work on it.”
”I'll take more water for our drink.”
They quickly worked on the meat and preserved it by using the salt. However, it effectively run out their stock, so Lin Xiao knew that he would have to trade some herbs with salt again tomorrow or used his payment from Shopkeeper Wan to get some salt.
…
The next day, Lin Xiao headed back to the village and went straight to Shopkeeper Wan's store. Shopkeeper was already waiting for him and quickly waved his hand when he saw Lin Xiao coming at him.
”What do you want me to try this time, Shopkeeper Wan?”
”It's this!” Shopkeeper Wan took out a plate and showed it to Lin Xiao. There were some engravings on top of the stones that looked highly unfamiliar. However, those who were keen would know that the engravings have meaning.
Lin Xiao clearly knew this. ”Runes?”
”I want you to try activating it!”
F***!
Inside his mind, Lin Xiao was cursing Shopkeeper Wan's ninth generation. Those without knowledge regarding runes would not dare to activate one easily because they couldn't guess what it would end up. If it was a killing array… good bye their lives.
But if it was a good type of array, they would still survive.
Lin Xiao turned to look at Shopkeeper Wang and glared. ”Do you want me to die, Shopkeeper Wan?”
”Come on, you're the only one who dare to try activating this rune!”
”I don't dare!”
”I'll give you 2 silvers!”
”NO!”
