Chapter 1223: Friend or Foe (3)
This stall probably belonged to a tribe or trade caravan. Little Treasure could tell from the number of workers and the goods they were selling that they were the largest stall in this area.
The two of them ran to their stall with the mentality of giving it a try. They picked up a piece of fox skin and asked for the price in gold.
The stall owner only took a glance at them before quoting a price in the Jin language.
Little Treasure and Little Bear raised their eyebrows slightly, surprised that it worked. The two of them looked at each other and began to pick up things seriously. Each time they picked up a piece of fur or herbs that caught their eye, they would ask for the price.
Initially, the stall owner only let them choose while continuing to deal with the other customers. Seeing that they were asking more and more questions and that they had so many guards behind them, he turned his attention to them and waved for two subordinates to attend to the other customers.
Satisfied to see this, Little Treasure and Little Bear chose even more seriously, and there was even a hint of regret on their faces. They said in the Jin language, "It’s a pity that there are too few herbs here. Although the fur is of good quality, the quantity is small."
The stall owner glanced at the guards and the duo’s attire and pondered for a moment before saying, "If the two of you are interested in a big transaction, we do have other goods."
"Oh?" Little Treasure asked excitedly, "I wonder if we can take a look?"
The stall owner stood up and pointed at the items that Little Treasure and Little Bear had asked for. He said to his subordinates, "Keep these." Then, he turned around and said to the two of them, "Please follow me."
The stall owner brought them behind the curtain at the back. Behind each large stall, there was a place surrounded by a curtain on three sides, as well as a curtain hanging from the opening. When the curtain was lowered, other than the space above their heads which was empty, it was a completely sealed space.
