Chapter 66 (1/2)

”Old gentleman, you don't buy it. If others want to buy it, you can't stop it?” the man said reluctantly.

”Elder martial uncle, I just think the patterns carved on this thing are very interesting. I want to study it and maybe I can learn something!” Xia Yan explained with a smile.

”Well, make your own decision.” Yao shigu nodded and stopped persuading. It's just a few thousand dollars. It's nothing.

”Ten thousand, no less!” the man still didn't let go.

”OK, ten thousand is ten thousand, but you have to tell me the truth. How did this thing come from, OK?” Xia Yan said.

”Yes, but speak alone.” the man looked at the crowd and said.

”No problem.” Xia Yan turned his head and said to Yao shigu shyly, ”martial uncle, can you lend me 10000 yuan? I don't have enough money?”

”You child, what do you say? Don't be polite here. Take this place as your own home!” Yao shigu glared and scolded a few words, and asked Yao ting to take 10000 yuan from the cabinet and give it to Xia Yan. Xia Yan gave the money to the man surnamed Li and took the bronze stick into his hand.

”Come out and I'll tell you.” the man took the money, got up, picked up the woven bag and said.

Xia Yan walked out of the store with him. After listening to him whisper for a while, he returned to the store again. The man carried the bag and soon disappeared at the corner.

”Is this thing very valuable?” Jiang Wenchuan had the consciousness of a layman. He didn't speak just now. Seeing Xia Yan coming in, he finally couldn't help asking.

”I don't know. It's interesting to see its patterns. I want to study it.” Xia Yan said.

”Really?” Jiang Wenchuan didn't believe it.

”Elder martial uncle doesn't intend to buy it. Do you think it can be worth hundreds of thousands?” Xia Yan said with a smile.

Jiang Wenchuan was skeptical, but he accepted this statement.

Xia Yan put the bronze stick into her backpack and was ready to study it when she was free.

”Martial uncle, I'll pay you back in a few days!” Xia Yan said to Yao shigu seriously.

”You child...” Yao shigu was helpless and could only smile bitterly.

”By the way, Xia Yan...” at this time, Yao Ting suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, ”since you are short of money, you might as well carve some things and put them in the store. Won't you have money at that time?”
