18: Jackpot

Jackpot

Yu Dong felt that her sleeve was being held a little too tightly , it was as if the person who was holding on to her wrist actually wanted to permanently embed himself in her body , Yu Dong looked down and saw that Yu Mai was already looking at her , he was biting his finger - looking terrified , Yu Dong couldn't understand what happened to the cheery boy , he was fine just a moment ago what happened all of a sudden ? 2

Even though Yu Dong didn't know what exactly happened , she still gently patted his furry head " what's wrong ?" She asked with a smile looking at little Mai who seemed a bit too close to crying .

" sister - wuwu , are you going to sell me again ?" Asked Yu Mai , even though his clear and clean heart had not suffered a huge blow and got corrupted like the other kids , Yu Mai indeed was left with a rather big scar on his heart , though he acted like nothing much happened but Yu Mai didn't have a good time at the diner , there were times when he had to go hungry and when ever the boss lady's daughter got upset she would take out her anger at Yu Mai as she knew that Yu Mai was the only one who won't complain to her mother .

Yu Mai didn't want to go through that experience again , if his sister really sold him again then he will become a bad boy and run away !

At first Yu Dong didn't understand what he meant by this but then she remembered that Yu Mai was a special child and most probably he only understood the word ' sell ' that he heard just now and came on the conclusion that maybe she was trying to sell him again .

After all Yu Mai was just a seven years old boy and with her slow wits , it wasn't surprising that he actually misunderstood her , Yu Dong patted his cheek then showed him the meat in her basket " look , sister wants to sell this not Mai , sister is selling meat , do you understand now Mai ?"

Yu Mai looked at the meat in Yu Dong's basket and then looked at Yu Dong , his little head bursting with confusing thoughts - he didn't want to doubt his big sister but what if she really sells him " you - you are speaking the truth elder sister ?"

Yu Dong knew that the scar , the little guy suffered through was a big one so she patiently nodded and kept coaxing Yu Mai " that's right , if you think sister lied , then you can punish sister as you want "

Yu Mai thought about his sister's suggestion and nodded " sure , I will be a bad boy if you lie to me , Mai is really fierce when he becomes a bad boy " as if to demonstrate his fierceness , he growled in a way that resembled a baby kitten mewling - the little innocent Yu Mai didn't even think that if Yu Dong really sold him , even if he became a bad boy - Yu Dong won't be the one suffering .

But then again Yu Mai was a little softie with a big heart , even if Yu Dong really sold him - he might actually help her count the money that came from selling him .

" Are you the one who wants to sell tiger meat ?" a gruff voice broke the siblings conversation , Yu Dong stood up and looked back - a portly , and nice natured woman was walking towards her , she was so fat that Yu Dong couldn't even see her neck - that seemed to have hidden under her many chins .

" Yes , its me " Yu Dong was a firm believer of live and let live , even though she thought that being this fat wasn't good , she didn't speak her thoughts out loud , whatever the woman can live as she wants who was she to interfere in her life " I hunted this game just this morning , its still fresh , you can see for yourself "

The truth was Yu Dong had hunted this meat last night but nothing goes bad in her inner world , the meat was just as fresh as it was last night .

The woman chef took a look at the meat that Yu Dong had brought , because their restaurant was a big pricy many hunters came to sell their game - thus the woman who was checking the condition of the meat could tell from just one glance because of years of experience that the meat indeed belonged to tiger and deer .

Yu Dong 's meat was really fresh and because it was washed with water instilled with spiritual energy , it looked even more clean and juicy - the woman chef could definitely hear praises coming her way when she will use this meat to cook . The woman felt that she might have really hit a jackpot this morning to get such good meat delivered on their restaurant's doorstep " its great , I will pay you seven taels for the tiger meat and five taels for the deer one , will that be okay ? "

Yu Dong had no objections , she knew that this much money was indeed fair - after all no matter how dangerous hunting a tiger was , she was just selling the meat and nothing rare here , and she still had the tiger pelt with her , as long as everything goes right , she might be able to earn a bit more . So , she accepted the deal .

My wrist is swollen so the short chap.
