Chapter 14: The Caravan (Part II)

Over there, Uncle Sanchi, the vice-captain of the hunting party, and his son, my little friend Kate, were having a loud discussion with a much younger goblin.

The goblin screamed, "No, no, Vice Captain Sanchi, this is already the lowest price!" Your cargo is still a little bit short...... Why don't you think about it again? ”

Uncle Sanchi looked anxiously at the beautiful brass knife in the goblin's hand.

Kate also looked at the knife with a wistful expression.

Grandpa, Dad, Brother, and Sister were all busy going to the goblin merchant's stall to choose what was right for them, and the rest of the village was about the same, some of them were waiting for the goblins to calculate the price, and some of them were already calculating, and they were hesitating to change something.

Actually, the most important thing is still salt and weapons, and then armor. Then there are all kinds of weird gadgets, decorations, and so on.

And, of course, expensive human spices and dwarven spirits.

A busy scene in the clearing.

Just then, the sun came out.

If it weren't for Leo's reminder, I wouldn't have noticed Uncle Sanchi's family.

But it seems that no one can guess that Uncle Sanchi's goods are not enough to exchange for the shiny-looking brass knife.

Kate looked at the knife and at Uncle Sangie, her face full of longing and pleading.

I said, "It's just not enough money......

Leo said: "Yes, it's not your family that suffers anyway, and that Kate doesn't have a good relationship with you, and you're very happy to see their family being deceived by goblins, right?" ”

I touched the buckle around my waist: "You don't want to use your ...... The idea of that clan to measure us minotaurs! ”

Leo said, "Then go and see, and help them calculate the accounts by the way, you will count anyway!" Don't you dare? ”

I said, "Go, go!" ”

Seeing that I was leaving, my sister asked, "Bihong, what do you want?" ”

I turned around and said, "It's good to have meat to eat at home, I don't need anything else for the time being!" ”

My sister smiled and continued to pick out the decorations on the stall.

Uncle Sanchi's house was in front of the car next door, less than ten steps from our house.

Kate was a little surprised to see me coming.

Then he saw the buckle around my waist and his eyes lit up: "Bihon! What weapon are you going to choose? ”

I said, "I'm not in a hurry, Grandpa Shaman Weapon will do it anyway!" ”

When Kate heard this, she nodded slightly, and continued to look at the brass knife.

The goblin didn't notice our two-day-old child, and continued: "Otherwise, you can borrow a little from the villagers, anyway, you are the vice-captain, and your hunting skills are so strong, you can pay it back soon!" ”

Uncle Sanji frowned, his nostrils furled, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Then, he looked this way.

It seems that he wants to borrow money from his father.

But he saw me first.

He was also a little surprised and said, "Bihon? ”

I said, "Uncle Sanchi, what's wrong?" ”

Uncle Sanchi's face changed.

I was about to say "You may have been deceived by the goblin" when Leo suddenly interrupted me: "Don't say that he was deceived!" ”

I said, "Isn't that what you said?" ”

Leo said, "Stupid, if you say this, whether he believes it or not, the goblin will definitely not admit it, so it's better to ...... like this."

My eyes lit up and I said, "Uncle Sanji, I'm learning arithmetic from my grandfather, and our family bought a hundred silver coins for our goods, how much is your family worth?" ”

Uncle Sanji was stunned for a moment: "Huh? One, one hundred silver coins? Our family, well, almost! ”

The goblin smiled next to him and said, "Pretty much the same, less than twenty silver coins......"

Uncle Sanchi's face was a little ugly.

I counted my fingers and said, "Twenty ...... That's eighty silver coins? Wow, that's a lot! Our family is joined by my father and brother, and your family can hunt so much alone? ”

Uncle Sanji had a strange smile on his face and did not speak.

I followed Leo's plan and said, "Then, Uncle Sanchi, tell me how many hides and groceries your family sells, and I'll practice arithmetic......"

Uncle Sanji said, "Little Bihong, you are really diligent, you have learned shamanic skills so early, and you are so serious...... Well, Kate, tell me about ......"

Kate was still looking at the knife, and only turned her face away when she heard this.

He thought for a while, and then said with some uncertainty: "There are thirty rabbit skins, three are worth one silver coin, ten fox skins, nine wolf skins, one silver coin each, two tiger skins, well, each one is five silver coins, but the peeling is not good enough, adding up to only seven silver coins, one hundred and twenty wolf teeth, and twenty silver coins...... Well, did I say it too fast? ”

By the time he was halfway through, I was already dizzy......

Ten silver coins for rabbit skins, ten silver coins for fox skins, nine wolf skins, seven tiger skins, and wolf teeth are ...... One hundred and twenty ...... Twenty silver coins...... Well, my fingers have long been insufficient.

Leo did the math: "Forty-two silver coins!" ”

I hastened to say, "Forty-two!" ”

Kate looked at me in surprise and envy and said, "You, you figured it out so quickly?" That's amazing! Well, I went on. Two grizzly bearskins, each with ten silver coins...... One wild Kodo hide, twenty pieces, one Kodo horn, five silver coins......"

I shouted, "Count it out!" ”

Kate seemed frightened and said, "I, I'm not done yet, and there are two silver coins of herbs......"

I said, "It's simple, it's - eighty-nine silver coins!" ”

According to Leo's instructions, I deliberately said "eighty-nine" very loudly.

Uncle Sanchi, who was looking at something else, immediately pricked up his ears and looked at me when he heard my words.

Immediately after, the goblins also looked over.

I could see that the green face was a little flustered.

Uncle Sanchi said, "What? Bijon, what eighty-nine? ”

I said, "I've figured out that your family's worth of eighty-nine silver coins is twenty less than ours!" ”

Uncle Sanji's face changed, and he asked in a low voice, "Little Bihong, you didn't miscalculate, did you?" ”

The goblin suddenly said, "Child, you must have miscalculated! ”

Uncle Sanji looked at the goblin: "Didn't you say it's only worth eighty-one silver coins?" ”

The goblin said, "It's eighty-one, I can figure it out!" We Standard Chartered Chamber of Commerce deal with you every year, will we still lie to you? ”

I quickly interjected: "Uncle Sanchi, maybe, maybe I miscalculated......"

Uncle Sanchi's face changed again, and Kate was a little unhappy with my sudden change of words.

The goblin smiled and said, "Hey, kid, it's okay!" When you grow up, you will figure it out, and when the time comes, do you want to come to our chamber of commerce as a bodyguard? ”

I shook my head, "I'm the next shaman in the village!" ”

The goblin smiled a little reluctantly, still whispering "hehe".

Kate said, "Bihon, will you count or not?" ”

I said, "Don't worry, I'll ask grandpa to do the math for you!" ”

At this moment, Uncle Sanji and Kate both looked at me with surprise on their faces.

The goblin's smile froze.

Leo said, "Haha, that's what you want!" Little bull's head, it's time to pretend to be thirteen and slap your face! Let's start your show! ”

Although I don't know what he is talking about, I feel inexplicably happy in my heart......

Sure enough, this goblin is playing tricks!

I turned around and shouted, "Grandpa, come here!" ”

At this moment, many people around heard it and looked at it curiously.

I turned my back to Uncle Sanchi and the goblins, and I couldn't see their expressions clearly, Leo laughed, "Wow, I didn't expect the green-skinned goblin's face to get greener!" ”

Grandpa and Dad looked at me strangely.

I continued to shout: "Grandpa, I can't tell you how much Uncle Sanchi's goods are worth, you can help me do the math!" ”

Grandpa smiled and walked over with a cane.

The face of the Standard Chartered president next to him also changed!

At this moment, even the people on the very edge were attracted to it.

I looked back and saw that the goblin was sweating.

I was also a little nervous: "Leo, you can't be wrong, right?" ”

Leo was full of confidence: "In our place, elementary school students will count!" ”

I said, "What is an elementary school student?" ”

Leo said, "It's a child!" ”

I said, "Oh......"

At this time, my grandfather had already walked up to me and touched my corner: "You will settle accounts?" I remember last time you didn't know how much forage the Kodo beasts in the village could eat......

The goblins are getting nervous.

I scratched my head: "I'm afraid that I will miscalculate, so I asked you to come over and help me calculate!" Grandfather! ”

Scratching my head was taught by Leo, and in fact, I don't feel an itchy scalp either.

I just felt a little uncomfortable being touched by my grandfather - although stroking the horns of our juniors was an act of our minotaur elders to show their love for their juniors, the thought of a Leo hidden in the right corner made me feel different......

Leo also said, "Old bull, take your hands away!" Hey, it's so meaty! ”
