Everyone was stunned by Xiao Ling'er's words, before anyone could analyze the meaning of her words.
Xiao Linger continued to explain, "We charged copper coins before because we spent time and energy, climbed over mountains and ridges, and almost broke our legs before finally finding the water source.
I'm taking a few coins from you because I'm afraid you'll feel guilty and have a guilty conscience, so I'm just charging you a small fee for your hard work."
Shi Lin and the others all twitched their lips slightly, muttering in their hearts:
"This girl is truly eloquent and gifted with words. It seems as if everything she does is out of good intentions, and that she only takes money out of necessity.
Although her original intention was indeed good and her goal was to ensure that everyone could fill their water bottles, after her explanation, it always felt a bit strange.
"Yes, yes, Sister Ling'er is so kind-hearted. Everything she does is for everyone."
Xiao Ling'er always felt that Lu Xingzhi's praise was insincere and contained other meanings.
Shi Lin glanced at Lu Xingzhi with a hint of warning in his eyes.
Lu Xingzhi shrugged and stood aside without saying anything more.
Shi Lin then took out two bulging purses, one large and one small, and handed them to Xiao Ling'er, saying:
"These are the copper coins collected last night, plus there are about twenty or so water bags from the queue this morning.
The remaining three hundred water bags are ours. If you trust me, I'll give you the copper coins in advance."
"Of course I trust my uncle." Xiao Ling'er said as she reached out to take it. Without opening it to count, she handed it directly to Xiao Yuhao beside her.
Xiao Yuhao took the purse, took Gu Mufeng's hand and went to count the coins. Mu Xiya also followed happily.
Xiao Ling'er found it a little funny and didn't stop him. Shi Lin and the others were not displeased either. Instead, they waited patiently until Xiao Yuhao finished counting the money and had no objections before leaving.
"Sister, there are a total of 4,000 copper coins in the two purses." Xiao Yuhao leaned close to his sister and whispered.
Xiao Ling'er raised her eyebrows and did quick calculations in her mind.
Last night, sixty water bags cost 640 copper coins, and in the morning, there were thirty water bags in the queue, which cost 300 copper coins, so the total was only 940 copper coins.
Shi Lin and his team's 300 water bags cost 3,000 copper coins, so they gave 60 copper coins more.
"Well, they gave me 60 more copper coins. It's okay. They gave me that on purpose." Xiao Ling'er said as she took the purse from Xiao Yuhao and put it into her backpack.
The four of them continued to climb the mountain. Ever since Xiao Ling'er learned that there were animals in this mountain, her heart had been restless.
Such as spicy rabbit head, pheasant stewed with mushrooms, dry pot wild boar meat, braised venison meat, etc.
She couldn't think about it. As soon as she thought about it, Xiao Ling'er became full of energy and her pace up the mountain became faster, as if there were many wild animals waiting for her on the mountain.
Not to mention, there was actually a group of wild animals waiting for Xiao Ling'er and others on the top of the mountain. When they were almost at the top of the mountain, the system issued a continuous alarm sound.
[Ding, seven wild boars detected in the left oblique direction. They are neutral in nature and slightly fishy in flavor. They are effective in preventing iron deficiency anemia and relieving dry stools. One pound can be exchanged for 58 wealth points.]
[Ding, seven wild boars detected in the left diagonal direction. They are neutral in nature, have a slightly fishy smell, and possess...]
"Shut up. Such delicious wild boar meat, and you told me it can relieve dry stool and other effects. It's really poisonous." Xiao Ling'er scolded the system in her heart.
