Chapter 8: Birthday Gifts

The star is about to go down, the planet is about to usher in its other night, and old Adam is also in a hurry to go home, but his naughty granddaughter seems to be playing crazy, and tirelessly refuses to go back, and in desperation, old Adam has to lead her around again.

The market was so bustling that even in the evening, the crowds did not decrease much, and old Adam had to hold his precious granddaughter's hand tightly, he had heard many cases of child abduction, but he did not want to be brought out for the first time and his inexperienced granddaughter suffered.

"Grandpa, grandpa~ over there, let's go and see......"

"No, when it gets dark, we won't be able to see our way home." Old Adam looked at his granddaughter dotingly, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "Otherwise, grandpa will take you to choose a birthday gift, and use the money we earn today to buy it, and we will go back after buying it?" ”

"Okay, okay, I want a birthday present, I want a birthday present~"

The little girl, who was only six or seven years old and less than the height of Old Adam's waist, immediately danced with her hands, and at the same time the two hairy ears between the bushes on her head also stood up, and they were still slightly stirring, as if in response to the cheerful mood of her master.

Old Adam looked at his granddaughter's smile and laughed from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that the next choice has become a problem, even if it is an adult woman, it is difficult to make up her mind in various choices many times, not to mention that she is just a little girl who naturally can't make up her mind.

It was only at this time that old Adam felt that he seemed to have made a mistake, and he should have known that he should have chosen one directly and gave it to her.

In fact, the little girl didn't like it very much and wanted to buy it immediately, but at this time, the money in the old Adam's pocket was often not enough, looking at the granddaughter with her head slightly lowered as if she was counting her steps, but the ears drooping down her head showed her depressed mood, the old Adam sighed, but he didn't know how to consol him.

In a frustrated mood, the child's energy seemed to be running out, and old Adam saw her yawn, and picked her up and let her rest on his shoulder.

Since there is nothing to be gained, it is useless to spend any more time, not to mention that the sky is slowly getting dark, and old Adam does not dare to stay for a long time, so he can only think about bringing more money next time and then bring his granddaughter out to compensate her, and then walk to the place where he parked.

"Hey, what's that?"

Hearing his granddaughter's curious call, old Adam stopped, looked in the direction of her pink little finger, and said, "Oh, that's the slave market, some bad guys have taken people from other planets and brought them here to sell." If anyone takes a fancy to one of them, he buys it with money, and that person belongs to him. ”

For these things, since discovering those changes in his granddaughter, old Adam has not been able to hide much from her.

But even if he made it clear, whether the little girl could understand it was another matter, she nodded as if she didn't understand, and suddenly smiled: "Otherwise, let's buy one and go back?" ”

Well?

Old Adam was a little dumbfounded, and it took a while to confirm that he really heard correctly.

But he didn't want to go over, and although he wouldn't hide it from his granddaughter, he didn't want her to really touch this kind of thing, let alone how he could afford such a slave.

However, looking at the expectation contained in his granddaughter's star-clear eyes, I thought that if I hit a wall, I would hit a wall, and I would only know if I tried it, so I said hello and walked in that direction with her in my arms.

When I came to the trading booth, in fact, there were not many consignment slaves still on the booth at this time, and basically the good ones were all picked out, and the rest were either worthless or unpleasant.

Old Adam naturally has nothing to be faulted with, and if the rest can be discounted, it is still a good thing for him, buying a slave to go back can not only please his granddaughter, but also will always be of some use, so he will not lose anything.

Thinking of old Adam, he asked a seller, "I want to choose a slave, how do you calculate the price?" ”

Old Adam knew very well in his heart that the natives living on the public planet have always had a low status in the eyes of these aliens, because of the particularity of the public planet, there is no unified and stable regime here, and there is no sound legal system, which often means danger, especially after a large number of aliens have chosen this place as a trade market, especially after a large number of aliens have chosen this place as a trade market.

In this environment, the life of the local people naturally has nothing to say, poverty is the norm, he can earn a few dollars to support his family by hunting and selling some furs and skeletons, and other selling children and daughters are common.

So just now, obviously noticing his approach, these sales staff didn't mean to meet him, and they didn't think that he would become a customer, because they didn't think he could afford it in their hearts.

Old Adam has long passed the age of thinking about this, with a little smile on his face, and he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, so the salesperson naturally said perfunctorily: "Pick it yourself, and then talk about the price after picking it." ”

Old Adam frowned, and then the granddaughter in his arms spoke again, this time pointing in one direction over there, and said, "Shall we buy that, grandpa?" ”

There was a man who was only wrapped in a gray robe, and from the side of his face he was a relatively gentle fellow, and his appearance was Zhou Zheng, although he was an alien in the eyes of old Adam, it was rare to conform to the aesthetics of their natives, although his ears on both sides of his head were somewhat aesthetically pleasing, except that the hair on his head was also a little less, and he also looked a little thin, and he didn't know if he could be qualified for the job of hunting - it would be better to buy back a slave if he could help him hunt.

"How much does that cost?" Now that the granddaughter has spoken, old Adam will ask.

The seller didn't blink his eyelids, looked back to confirm which one it was, and said, "Three gold source coins~"

Old Adam's eyelids jumped, and he asked tentatively, "Can you have less?" ”

The currency issued by the empire in the Qingsickle galaxy is worth a gong, a silver plate, and a gold source from low to high, all of which are in a ratio of 1:10, according to the current price, one gold source coin is enough for their family, although only he and his granddaughter - eat half a month's food, but this price is a little more expensive.

Of course, the most important thing is that he only has two gold source coins, three silver plate coins, and seven gong coins on him now.

The salesman seemed to hesitate for a moment, said "Wait a minute", ran to the other side and whispered a few words in the ear of a person who looked like a fox wolf clan, and then ran back and said, "Okay, two gold source coins, he is yours." ”

Old Adam wanted to bargain again, but the other party directly blocked the words: "This is the lowest price, it won't be lower......" But he thought in his heart that if this guy didn't like Shandra, and he was indeed uncared for, it would be impossible to drop so much.

Glancing at his granddaughter, Old Adam smiled bitterly and had no choice but to get the money, but he made up his mind in his heart that what he was paying now was to be squeezed out of this slave.

Old Adam carried the guy on the other side of his shoulder like a beast skin, feeling that the light weight almost made him regret returning it, thinking that this wouldn't be a useless waste, right?

The little girl in Old Adam's arms touched the man's thigh curiously, and then suddenly laughed happily without knowing what to think.

This made the old Adam's depression disappear for the time being, today is a special day after all, the most important thing is that his granddaughter is happy, he has to find his own car to bring this guy back with him.
