Today is not a market day, there are not many people on the street.
Lu Yi took the wild boar to the largest restaurant.
The familiar waiter Kite came over and was shocked to see such a big wild boar: "Brother Yi, you are amazing, you can catch such a big wild boar."
The corners of Lu Yi's mouth rose: "Luck."
"This is not luck, but strength!" Kite gave a thumbs up. "Awesome, that's awesome. Just wait a minute, I'll go find the shopkeeper. This time the goods are too big, and the shopkeeper must make the decision.
"
"Thank you, Brother Feng."
Lu Yi placed the wild boar at the door and raised his arms to wipe the sweat.
Although the movements are obviously rough, he always performs them with elegance.
People passing by were amazed when they saw such a big wild boar.
There was also a little girl who looked at Lu Yi's back and became obsessed with her. The moment he turned around, the shyness on her face disappeared and she looked frightened.
Lu Yi touched the scars on his face with a mocking look on his face.
"Fang Juren, it's a coincidence. Someone wants to sell a wild boar today. Isn't it a pillow for me? Come and see for yourself. If it suits you, I will order this wild boar and use it at the banquet tomorrow."
The blessed shopkeeper led a young man over in a flattering manner.
The young man was wearing a Confucian shirt and a square scarf, and he looked polite.
Lu Yi heard the voice and looked over, and happened to meet the young man's eyes.
The young man looked surprised, then looked at Lu Yi's whole body, the corners of his mouth raised, and the contempt in his eyes was undisguised.
"It turns out that the hunter the shopkeeper mentioned is you! Brother Ziyi!"
The shopkeeper looked at the two of them and said, "Does Fang Juren know Lu Orion?"
"We know each other, how could we not know each other? Brother Ziyi was once my classmate."
The two words "Zeng" are used very heavily, and the irony is very obvious.
The shopkeeper is a smart man, how can he not understand the secret behind this?
Suddenly, he chuckled and said: "That's really fate. Maybe the reason why Lu Orion was lucky enough to become Fang Juren's classmate was because of today's reunion?"
Fang Zhuoyu walked towards Lu Yi, his eyes swept over his blood-stained coarse linen clothes, and finally stopped at the wild boar.
"Long time no see, brother Ziyi."
Lu Yi looked at Fang Zhuoyu calmly: "Did you pass the exam?"
Fang Zhuoyu looked proud: "It's a fluke."
"Yes." Lu Yi nodded and said to the shopkeeper: "Do you want this pig? If you don't want it, I will pick it out."
The smile on Fang Zhuoyu's face disappeared.
This man is still as arrogant as ever.
Why?
Did he think he was still the same Lu Ziyi who was respected by the mountain chief and his master?
Listen to what people outside call him? Lu Orion!
Orion!
"Brother Ziyi, why are you in such a hurry? We haven't gotten together for a long time. We are destined to meet each other. I will hold a banquet at the restaurant tomorrow. Master Shanzhang and all my classmates will be there by then. You can come too!"
"Do you want more pigs?" Lu Yi looked at Fang Zhuoyu.
Fang Zhuoyu: "..."
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "If you want it, press..."
"Twenty taels." Lu Yi stretched out his hand.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened: "Isn't this a little too expensive?"
"Is it expensive?" Lu Yi looked at Fang Zhuoyu. "Wild boars are hard to find, so of course the price cannot be calculated based on domesticated ones. Besides, things are rare and expensive, so this price should be very suitable. Twenty taels, I'll come tomorrow."
Fang Zhuoyu snorted coldly: "Okay, twenty taels, give it to him."
As long as he can come, he will pay the money.
Fang Zhuoyu, as the only candidate to be admitted to Qingshan Academy this year, has stayed in the academy as a teacher so that he can prepare for the next scientific examination.
The shopkeeper waved the kite not far away: "You, take Lu Orion to the accounting room to collect the money."
"Okay!" Kite was watching a play nearby and happily came over after hearing the instructions. "Brother Yi, please come this way."
Seeing that Fang Juren, whose eyes were higher than his head, was stunned, Kite winked at Lu Yi, looking funny.
Fang Zhuoyu watched Lu Yi leave with anger and resentment in his eyes.
When Lu Yi was still in the academy, the mountain chief and all the masters held him in their hands. With a genius like Lu Yi, others seemed so mediocre, and Fang Zhuoyu was one of them who was crushed to death by him.
.
Fang Zhuoyu will never forget the past times when he studied hard every day, but was still crushed by Lu Yi. But those are not important anymore. Seeing Lu Yi now, he knew that they were no longer the same person.
The shopkeeper saw that Fang Zhuoyu looked unhappy and said many flattering words, which made him happy.
Fang Zhuoyu looked proud.
Look! He is no longer what he used to be.
When he was named on the gold medal list, a commoner like Lu Yi was not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
Lu Yi took out ten coins and stuffed it into Kite's hand.
Kite quickly refused: "Brother Yi, I know it's not easy for you. Don't be polite to me. As long as I, Kite, can help you, I will definitely do my duty."
"Thank you very much." Lu Yi wrote down Kite's favor.
"But Brother Yi, do you really want to come tomorrow? That Fang Juren is not easy to take care of. The way he looks at you, it's obvious that he has bad intentions!"
"Don't worry."
If he didn't readily agree, how could he have earned such a huge sum of money?
Besides, he also missed his teachers and fellow teachers.
They must be very disappointed in him, right?
Thinking of his former mentor, Lu Yi felt particularly heavy.
Lu Yi pulled the twenty taels of silver into his arms, picked up the pole and returned to the village.
"Twenty taels?" Mu Siyu looked at the pieces of silver in front of her. "Two more pigs can pay off the debt."
Lu Yi was thinking about what happened today and glanced at her after hearing her words.
She kept looking at the silver, with surprise and curiosity in her eyes, but no greed.
If he still can't recognize the difference in a person, then the name of "child prodigy" will be in vain.
"Although wild boars are valuable, they cannot be sold at such a high price. Brother, how did you sell them?" Lu Xuan asked.
"I met Fang Zhuoyu. He passed the exam and will hold a banquet in the restaurant tomorrow. The wild boar was sold to him." Lu Yi said calmly.
"Fang Zhuoyu? Is he the one who was always against you? He actually passed the exam." Lu Xuan's face turned ugly. "Did he humiliate you?"
"Who is this person?" Mu Siyu asked.
"What does it have to do with you?" Lu Xuan was impatient.
"I can guess it even if you don't tell me." Mu Siyu fiddled with the broken silver and counted the pieces one by one: "One, two, three..."
"How do you guess?" Lu Xuan looked at her.
Seeing that she was just counting the money, she knocked on the table and urged impatiently: "Didn't you say you could guess it? Why didn't you tell me?"
"What's the hurry?" Mu Siyu left eight pieces of silver and gave the rest to Lu Shaoyu: "You go and give it to Dr. Zhu and pay our consultation fee."
"Isn't it ten taels of silver?" Mu Zhenghan asked.
"That was deliberately to scare Mu Dashan and the others. In fact, mother's consultation fee only costs three taels of silver. But we owed Dr. Zhu some silver before, so the total is twelve taels."
