It must be said that although the room looks a bit messy, there is a unique order within this chaos, making it easy and convenient to find things without any trouble.
Without hesitation, she reached out and took the iron pot that was placed in the center of the stall; its size was neither too big nor too small.
With a bright smile on her face, she turned her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and looked directly at Tian Hui, who was busy organizing goods.
"This is fine, but could you please calculate how much it costs? Please don't tell me it's a gift; if you don't want the money, I won't take it."
Tian Hui, who had been focused on his work with his head down, slowly raised his head after hearing this, and his deep eyes met her earnest and clear gaze.
He couldn't help but think to himself, judging from the girl's appearance, she was clearly not the kind of person who would care about such a small amount of money.
So he stopped trying to pull her away and refused, a bright smile spreading across his face as he joked:
"Hey girl, what's wrong with you? You don't even know how to take advantage of a good deal? Well then, I'll give you a discount, you only need to pay thirty yuan."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wan frowned slightly, quickly thinking it over, and decided that instead of arguing like this, she should just make friends with this person.
If you ever come across any rare or unusual items in the future, you can bring them to him to sell. After all, we're all in business, and we can make money together.
Thinking of this, a determined look flashed in her eyes, and she smiled at Tian Hui, saying, "Then thank you very much."
As she spoke, she skillfully took out 30 yuan from her pocket and solemnly handed it to Tian Hui.
Then, as if by magic, she took out a wooden box from her backpack and gently handed it over, saying, "Consider this a gift for my friend. I hope we'll have the chance to meet again someday."
After saying that, she picked up the iron pot and other items she had just bought, waved to Tian Hui, and turned to leave with light steps.
Tian Hui was left standing there, stunned and unable to come to his senses for a moment.
Why did this girl give him a gift?
In that moment of dazed waiting, as if awakening from the depths of his mind, he slowly reached out and gently pushed open the slightly old wooden box.
Upon opening the wooden box, what came into view was a ginseng root of truly excellent quality.
The ginseng, like a treasure sleeping in the long river of time, lay quietly in the box, exuding a mysterious and alluring aura.
Actually, he was so surprised when he saw the ginseng that he automatically romanticized it.
To be honest, the ginseng was only of average quality; Xia Wan only brought it out after estimating the price of the wheelchair.
Although it's not much different from before the wheelchair, it's not that much worse.
"What are you standing there for? Are you all alone here?" Li Chengjun's cheerful voice suddenly rang out from behind.
He pushed open the door and immediately saw Tian Hui carefully holding a box, standing in the quiet courtyard.
A hint of doubt flickered in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look into the box.
Tian Hui, who had been lost in his thoughts, was startled awake by the sudden sound. He slowly raised his head, a wry smile appearing on his face.
"That girl is really something, Brother Jun. Look, could this be the legendary ginseng?"
Although he didn't usually study these strange and unusual things in depth, he was aware that ginseng was quite valuable.
He thought to himself, "This girl is really generous. Isn't this thing worth much more than that wheelchair?"
Li Chengjun narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on the ginseng in the box. He raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Hmm? You received this?"
They had collected quite a few good things over this period of time, so getting a ginseng root wasn't anything particularly unusual. Looking at this ginseng root, it seemed to be just an ordinary one.
"You got this for free, Brother Jun, tell me, how much can this thing sell for?" Tian Hui's expression turned complicated as he looked at Li Chengjun.
There was a hint of anticipation mixed with a touch of confusion, as if endless unknowns and possibilities were hidden behind this little ginseng.
Upon hearing his words, Li Chengjun's previously calm face was now covered by a layer of frost, his expression turning as cold as ice in winter.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of doubt and wariness flashing in them, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on? You've been hanging out with Zhou Qiang's gang again?"
You see, they do all sorts of things on a daily basis, reselling all kinds of strange and unusual items. It's not surprising that they collect anything, since they already walk the line between law and morality. But the things they get for free are really too strange.
Especially considering that Tian Hui had previously been involved with Zhou Qiang and his gang of thugs, those days were truly unsettling.
Fortunately, after he returned recently, the two sides decisively broke off contact, thus avoiding a potential disaster.
He wasn't entirely against making money with others, but Zhou Qiang and his gang had no bottom line. Who could guarantee that cooperating with such people wouldn't lead to their own downfall?
Upon hearing the name Zhou Qiang, Tian Hui's expression immediately turned serious.
He quickly waved his hand and said, "No, Brother Jun, you already made it clear that I shouldn't work with him, how could I dare to contact him!"
As he spoke, he unconsciously swallowed, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, Li Chengjun stretched out his finger and gently tapped the wooden box he was tightly holding in his hand, asking with a hint of doubt, "Where did this come from?"
Zhou Qiang, with a mysterious expression, slowly placed the wooden box on the table, his eyes gleaming with an unfathomable light, and whispered:
"Do you remember that little girl who saved my mom last time? She's the one who gave it to me..."
"You mean Xia Wan? She gave this to me?" Li Chengjun paused slightly, and a thin, dark-skinned but exceptionally lively little girl slowly appeared in his mind, like a scene from a movie.
They looked like little mountain sprites, lively and playful.
Speaking of this period of time, that little girl seems to have some kind of magical power, always popping into his mind from time to time, making it hard for him to forget her.
Especially when I have free time, that figure just won't leave my mind.
