"You want to find a scavenger?" Ma Yuanbai asked in return.
"Whether they are merchants or not doesn't matter, the main thing is that we need some arrows." Li Yu thought about how his dozen or so arrows were simply not enough.
"You've come to the right person. I happen to know a merchant among the refugees." As a support ability user, Ma Yuanbai does know quite a few other support ability users, including merchants.
“You’re lucky. He’s up ahead today. Follow me.” Ma Yuanbai glanced at the general location and led the way.
Li Yu waved to Fu Xiyao, who quickly followed.
Ma Yuanbai noticed Fu Xiyao's every move.
He had been wondering why Li Yu had brought her along, but now it seemed it was probably because Fu Xiyao was more obedient.
Li Yu had no idea what Ma Yuanbai was thinking; he just wanted to quickly replenish his arrows.
Everyone was heading west, and Ma Yuanbai led Li Yu quickly through the crowd of refugees.
Following Ma Yuanbai's directions, the group quickly found the merchant he had mentioned.
From a distance, Li Yu could see that the merchant was completely wrapped in a black trench coat.
The garment looks a bit worn, but it's made of durable material and seems to have protected him from a lot of wind and rain.
Although the businessman appeared unremarkable and even somewhat down-on-his-luck, the way those around him treated him clearly indicated that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Seemingly sensing their approach, a pair of cunning eyes gleamed from beneath the merchant's hood and looked at them.
What surprised Li Yu the most was that the scavenger had no luggage or packages with him, and she had no idea how he did business.
As Li Yu approached, the merchant suddenly let out a series of low, strange laughs.
"Hehehe, it's Little Ma here." The scavenger greeted Ma Yuanbai in a hoarse voice.
The merchant then looked at Li Yu, who was standing to the side, and said, "You've brought guests too."
Ma Yuanbai nodded, gesturing for Li Yu to step forward.
“My friend needs some arrows. Do you have any good ones? Bring them out and let me see.”
“Whatever price you offer, that’s what you get.” The scavenger’s face was hidden in shadow, but his eyes were fixed shrewdly on Li Yu.
Before Li Yu could speak, Fu Xiyao, who was standing next to her, immediately put down a package and handed it to the scavenger.
Upon inspection, the group found five rusty weapons in the package, including knives and daggers.
Li Yu was speechless; Fu Xiyao had actually been carrying these rusty weapons the whole way.
"These junk pieces can be exchanged for an arrow." The scavenger neither said he didn't want them nor refused.
"That's all?" Fu Xiyao was taken aback, clearly not satisfied with the price.
The scavenger reached into his black trench coat and took out five arrows, handing them to Fu Xiyao to see:
"Young lady, this is quite nice. It's made from raven feathers. Look at the craftsmanship, look at it."
Fu Xiyao wanted to say something, but Li Yu immediately agreed.
"make a deal."
“That’s more like it. I never do business at a loss.” The merchant handed over the arrow.
Li Yu took the arrow and breathed a long sigh of relief.
She finally sold the junk that Fu Xiyao had brought with her, and she still can't bear to throw it away.
If he doesn't sell it, I'm afraid he'll have to keep carrying this child around forever.
