Cao Cao believed in Su Zhizhe, so he called Su Zhizhe to ask questions.
"Li Shu picked up the sacred artifact of our tribe, so I really need to thank him. I plan to give him a gift, but I don't know what he likes." Cao Cao's words came from the receiver of the mobile phone.
"Um...according to my observation, Li Shu probably prefers small animals." Su Zhizhe said with a smile.
"Small animal?" Cao Cao said on the other side of the phone: "Understood, I will give Li Shu a pet tomorrow."
"Well, don't give any snakes, spiders, mice or other weird things, otherwise the purchase of the jade lion may be ruined." Su Zhizhe warned.
"Haha, of course I won't give those weird gifts. After all, I'm not stupid." Cao Cao's loud voice came from the mobile phone.
"That's good." Su Zhizhe wanted to expose Cao Cao's background. After all, this guy actually gave pet snakes to people, which scared the guests into fainting.
Early the next morning, Li Shu, Su Zhizhe, and Yao Li took the helicopter driven by Boss Jing to Danguan City. Li Shu, with his keen senses, saw that Yao Li wanted some more apricots, so he took the initiative and gave them to Yao. Li picked about 10 kilograms of apricots.
Yao Li was very happy, and she became more and more pleased with Li Shu. She kept clamoring to introduce him to his girlfriend, which made him dumbfounded.
After getting off the helicopter and taking a car to the teahouse, under the scorching sun, Li Shu carefully carried the box containing the jade lion.
"Cao Cao called me last night and said he wanted to give you a pet. I didn't even tell me what kind of pet it was." Su Zhizhe followed Li Shu upstairs, his footsteps making a soft creaking sound on the wooden stairs. .
"Oh? Pet?" Li Shu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but become slightly curious.
Dong Dong~
“Please come in.”.
When he pushed the door open and walked in, Li Shu was instantly startled. He saw a dozen old men standing or sitting in a small private room of about 4 meters by 5 meters. Wearing brightly colored gemstones, if you look carefully, you will find that there are traces of paint on their faces - traces that have been applied for decades and cannot be washed away.
The fat Cao Caolian stood up and shook hands with Li Shu, and introduced helplessly: "These are my clan elders, and they attach great importance to the Jade Lion."
Li Shu looked down and saw a white iron cage about half a meter high on the coffee table. There was a timid white squirrel in the cage.
"White squirrel?" Li Shu was slightly startled.
The little squirrel squatted in the cage, gnawing nuts absentmindedly and looking around at the people outside the cage with its small eyes. For a moment, its eyes also looked at the plum tree, and the plum tree could feel its fear and uneasiness.
Li Shu shook hands with Caocao's clan members respectively. He could feel that the elders were not used to handshakes.
Boom~
Cao Cao invited Li Shu, Su Zhizhe, Yao Li, Boss Jing and others to sit down, and then placed the cage containing the squirrel on the coffee table in front of Li Shu. The cage collided with the surface of the coffee table and made a soft sound, which scared the little squirrel and immediately used it. The paws hugged the furry little head, looking so cute.
"This is the white squirrel I asked someone to find. I hope you will like it, Brother Li Shu." Cao Cao smiled and said, waving his hand and taking out a small blue book: "This is the adoption certificate. There is a vaccination record on it. Little The guy is healthy."
"Squirrels are generally gray, but this is the first time I have seen a pure white squirrel." Li Shu put his finger into the cage and gently touched the little squirrel's head. The originally timid little guy noticed from Li Shu's finger I felt a trace of warmth, and my mood instantly became much more stable.
"Hehe, this is a genetically mutated squirrel." Cao Cao said with a smile, the fat on his face trembling: "Because of its conspicuous coat color, it is easily spotted by eagles and foxes in the wild. It has become the dinner of other animals... Brother Li Shu, please be kind and adopt it."
Li Shu nodded and agreed, and instantly Fan Biao, a group of clan elders next to him, Su Zhizhe and others all started laughing.
Before entering the door, Li Shu thought it would be a cat, dog, bird or fish, but he didn't expect it to be a squirrel. Looking at the pitiful and timid little guy, Li Shu decided to keep it in an instant.
His heart moved, and he said secretly: "I just don't know, will the big orange cat eat it? But don't be bitten to death by that silly cat."
Click~
Opening the box, the well-protected jade lion was taken out. Cao Cao saw the line of small characters at the bottom of the jade lion at a glance and said with a smile: "What kind of characters is this? Is it the same as a ghost painting?"
Phew~
The temperature in the box instantly dropped several degrees, and for a moment it seemed like even the air was frozen.
A group of tribal elders stared at Cao Cao, the anger in their eyes almost turning into substance. Su Zhizhe shook his head slightly and sighed. Li Shu opened his mouth wide and looked at Cao Cao in shock: "You are not from the Kanlias tribe. Human? How come you don’t know the writing of the Kanlias people?”.
"Ahem~ I'm kidding, I'm kidding." Feeling the terrifying eyes of the clan elders who were choosing people to devour, Cao Cao broke into a cold sweat for a moment, and even carefully handed the jade lion to the clan elders for appraisal.
Li Shu's face was covered with black lines, and he keenly felt that Cao Cao really didn't understand the Kanlias language at all.
The tea is fragrant, and the mouth is full of excitement. The breeze blows in from the open window. The leaves of the green plants on the windowsill rustle. The jade lion is confirmed to be real. In an instant, a group of elders dance excitedly and communicate in a language that Li Shu cannot understand. Even some clan elders were so excited that they shed tears.
Li Shu sighed in his heart: "In them, I seem to see the "truth" and "sincerity" of faith. This kind of pure emotion is really wonderful."
The price negotiation went relatively smoothly. Li Shu was a thief and asked Cao Cao to bid first. Cao Cao thought about it and directly bid 40 million ringgit. Li Shu was instantly overjoyed. After all, his expected price was 20 million to 30 million ringgit.
Although he was satisfied in his heart, Li Shu still frowned slightly and asked Cao Cao to increase the price a little more. After a moment of silence, the latter raised the price to 50 million ringgit, and Li Shu readily agreed.
“Happy to work with!“.
“Happy to work with!“.
After signing and exchanging contracts, and declining Cao Cao's polite invitation to dine together, Li Shu picked up the squirrel's cage and left with Boss Jing.
He saw that Cao Cao and the clan members seemed to be going to study the Jade Lion, so he stopped disturbing them.
Su Zhizhe and Yao Li parted ways with them.
The warm breeze was blowing, the sun was blazing in the sky, the leaves of the trees on both sides of the street were wilting, and the annoying sound of cicadas was heard.
Carrying the squirrel's cage and walking north, out of the way of the dusty bicycles, Li Shu and Boss Jing, who were feeling hot and hot all over their bodies, came to a cold drink shop.
“Phew~ It’s so comfortable with air conditioning.”.
“The temperature seems to be 36 degrees today.”.
Li Shu and Boss Jing sat down by the window. A waitress with tied hair approached and said with a smile: "What water do you two want to drink?"
