Qin Zhao and Chen Yan'an looked at each other and left the signboard calmly.
"Qin Zhao, what are you going to do?" Chen Yan'an asked.
It was already dusk when the two finished their meal. It was getting dark, so they took a ox cart back to the village.
Qin Zhao held the fish basket in his arms, lowered his eyes to look at the little fish inside, and did not answer.
Chen Yanan added, "I know you like this little fish, but think carefully, it's one thousand taels."
Jing Li was still a little dazed.
At that moment, the first thing that came to his mind was that he was worth so much.
That's one thousand taels, even he would be tempted if it were him.
When Jing Li thought of this, he suddenly remembered what happened when he first crossed over to this world.
He hadn't arrived in this town the moment he crossed over. He had no idea where it was originally, he only knew that he was being transported by several people in a clay pot to an unfamiliar place.
Well...they seemed to say...
It was said that he was a koi that could bring good luck to people. A big shot in the city took a fancy to him and wanted to buy him for one thousand taels.
Jing Li still remembers that shortly after the group finished talking, the car overturned on the road. He escaped from the pottery jar and fell into a stream.
He drifted downstream for two or three days, and when he woke up, he found that he had been caught and taken to a fish shop.
Because of the series of bad luck that happened later, Jing Li didn't take the words he heard at first to heart at all. After coming to Qin Zhao, he didn't think about them anymore.
Who knew that after going around in a circle, I would end up back here.
Jing Li raised his head and looked at Qin Zhao with some concern.
Qin Zhao...will he send him away?
Chen Yan'an kept pestering Qin Zhao about his thoughts. Qin Zhao was cornered and said slowly, "The notice just now said that the koi was lost by a man named Lu from Qingshan Town. After his favorite koi was stolen, Mr. Lu couldn't sleep at night and offered a large reward for the koi's return."
"...You don't see what's wrong with this?"
Chen Yanan looked up blankly: "What's the problem?"
"If it was just an ordinary carp, why would you offer such a huge reward?"
Chen Yanan said, "This... doesn't the notice say that it can bring good fortune to people?"
"Yes, good fortune." Qin Zhao said slowly, "Since that official is willing to offer a huge reward, it proves that he thinks this fish is worth more than that. If this little fish is worth more than that, why should I send it back?"
"..." Chen Yan'an was amazed. "How come you have such a smart brain? Why is it so useful? Can you give me some?"
Qin Zhao glanced at him indifferently, and the latter shut up obediently.
When they returned to the village, their homes were in two different directions, so they said goodbye at the entrance of the village.
"Have you really decided? The idea of good fortune might just be a lie. Money in hand is the most real thing." Chen Yan'an was still a little unwilling to give in, so he tried to persuade him, "You don't know, the richer people are, the more easily they're fooled by such things. I have a classmate who's a wealthy man in town. He spent ten taels of silver on a broken stone, and someone tricked him into thinking it was a talisman!"
"..." Qin Zhao was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Chen Yanan sighed: "Okay, I'll do as you say. After all, this fish is yours, not mine."
"It's just..." He thought of something and chuckled, "Today, you have to ask me to keep this a secret. In order to get me to agree, shouldn't you give me something in exchange?"
Qin Zhao thought for a moment, took out three bundles of money from his arms and handed them to Chen Yan'an.
One bundle is one hundred copper coins, which is three hundred coins here.
Chen Yanan didn't expect him to be so generous. He was so frightened that he pushed the money back. "Qin Zhao, you've become rich recently, so generous?! I don't want your money, I want something else."
