Chapter 49: Counter-Offer
"Boss, you robbery! Miss Rong, do you really want to buy it? I think forget it, this boss doesn't sell sincerely at all. ”
"Hey, you, you're going to ruin my business, go and go, don't surround here if you don't buy it, look at your ox cart, it's all blocking the business at the door of my shop."
Seeing that the boss really didn't mean to make a price at all, Lin Rong stepped forward and said, "Boss, otherwise, if you buy a crossbow, you will definitely have to use a few matching short arrows." How many arrows do you have? ”
"It's not expensive, one or two pieces of silver."
"I'll buy four, how about you count me as ten taels of silver?"
"Girl, you're too ruthless in your bargain. Although I have this skill, but our capital and time are here, we can't make me lose, right? ”
Lin Rong looked at the surrounding deserted, there were few people coming and going at the door, where did he not know, the blacksmith also helped people make a farm tool or something on weekdays, where could a few of this kind of high-priced weapons be sold. It's a big business, how can there be a reason to push it out.
"Boss, it's the first time I've been to your house today, so I'm going to buy one to try first, and if it's easy to use, I'm going to buy a few later!" But you don't let go of your posture at all, I have to endure the pain and go to other stores to see if there are any other weapons to take advantage of. ”
Saying this, Lin Rong took the two of them out.
The blacksmith boss thought about it for a moment, and hurriedly stopped her.
"Alas, you girl, why is this so, alas, I'm afraid of you, count me unlucky, I will sell you this crossbow and arrows, ten taels of silver!"
"Nine taels."
"No way!"
"Well, I don't have to be a crossbow!"
"Stop, ninety-two-eight! Nine-two-five money!! Stop, you stop! ”
In the end, after negotiation, Lin Rong finally won the victory, paid ten taels of silver, got a brand-new crossbow and four short arrows, and also obtained a lot of practical farm tools, which made Ji Da and Yang Si very happy.
Yang Si stroked those farm tools, like stroking his own child, and he was really a real farmer. "Miss Rong, you are too powerful, this is equivalent to getting so many good things for nothing."
"Don't worry, with me, we Zhuangzi will not be poor in the future!"
Now the two of them admired her deeply from their eyes to their hearts.
Seeing that it was getting dark, the three of them took the cart full of goods and set off for their return. But Lin Rong asked the two of them to pull the ox cart into an alley and stop.
With the cloth he bought, he wrapped the things on the cart tightly, and then tied them with ropes so that they would not fall off, and then he went back to the west gate of Shuyang City.
After leaving the city, when they got to the place where they were robbed of ginseng, it was already dark. Because they were worried that the two had not left and were intercepting passers-by here, the three of them continued to walk forward despite their fatigue. And Lin Rong's hand was holding the crossbow tightly, and it was already loaded with arrows.
Lying on top of the bullock cart, he did not close his eyes, but watched the path they walked in the dark.
Ji Da and Yang Si did not relax their vigilance, each with a sharp farm tool in their hands, under this complete vigilance, as long as the two strong men appeared, they would fight back fiercely.
Until early in the morning, the two strong men still did not appear, but the three of them were already exhausted.
"Miss Rong, you should sleep on the ox cart, and if there is an enemy, wake you up immediately."
Lin Rong also considered that this would not work, so he said: "This way, since we want to rest, under the bumps of the ox cart, it is not good to rest, it is better for us to find a hidden forest and rest for a while." Take turns to arrange people to guard, and wait until you are completely sleepy before you go on the road. Otherwise, when they come to attack, we will have no strength. ”
So all three of them went to the grove in front of them, found a water source, drank some water, rested for a while, and then resumed their journey. Although I always felt that there was some eerie little movement behind me, I didn't find anyone to provoke.
Fortunately, until the West Mountain Zhuangzi, it was safe all the way.
And as soon as they went up the mountain, someone followed them all the way.
By the time the Ji family arrived, there were already more than a dozen people of all ages.
