The newborn baby''s fur was very soft and it was very white which made him want to eat it while it was still a tender thing. His itchy fingers grabbed the small neck and had the urge to snap it....
The farmers who were working on their fields noticed the littlemotion a long time ago. Someone from the side called out, "Hey big brother, look, your family''s daughter is arguing with our chief''s guest. Hurry up and check! Don''t let her make any trouble for your family."
The old man who was mentioned hurriedly wiped his wet hands on his red towel which was bound around his waist and made his way towards Luo Lixiang inrge steps.
On the other hand, Luo Lixiang was arguing with the girl but the man was really enjoying the argument with the other person. The girl couldn''t retort his words every time and was speechless.
"Thismb can''t be sold out. It''s only one week old. How can you be so heartless?!"
"Because I''m heartless, that''s why I want it. It''s a young thing, it''s better. I want to buy it. Girl, don''t provoke me. Go and ask your father toe…" Luo Lixiang turned around to leave with themb but she ran up and blocked his path.
"Are you a thief? How can you take it away without my permission?" Her little face had already turned red.
The teenage girl didn''t want to let him buy away themb. She felt reluctant to give away the little cutie even for money.
"What''s wrong?" Right then, the father of the girl came and asked. His eyes rested on Luo Lixiang. Thetter didn''t look at the messy appearance of the old farmer as he rubbed the little head of themb.
"I want thismb. How much?" Luo Lixiang asked with a smile but even then he didn''t lift his head and look at the other party.
"Er… the thing is… we can''t sell it." After all, they couldn''t bear to sell the babymb. The mother sheep was still beside them, bound with a tree, eating green grass. "But we can sell after two weeks at most."
The teenage girl remained quiet when she heard her father''s words. In their family, her wishes didn''t count so she didn''t protest in front of her father or else a heavy beating would wait for her.
So with malice in her eyes, she nced at Luo Lixiang and gritted her teeth. But the man shook his head and said straightforwardly to the old farmer, "I only want this. I can''t wait for it to grow up."
Even then the farmer was hesitating. They don''t sell littlemb. As ordinary farmers, their thought process is very simple.
But because Luo Lixiang was known as the special guest of their vige chief and that old man held great power and influence all over the surrounding areas and viges. If he refused and offended Luo Lixiang, the next time he might get in trouble.
After all, the old vige chief was a spiteful person.
Luo Lixiang probably guessed the inner thoughts of the old farmer. He shifted his eyes and then nced above the little thing which was struggling too hard to escape.
He sneered and offered, "I will give you five times the actual market price." The farmer stopped hesitating as soon as he heard it. His ck, exhausted eyes lit up in surprise. "Are you willing?"
After hearing it the farmer didn''t object anymore and spoke gently and humbly, "Um, Mr, why don''t I raise it for you for a few weeks? You can take it then."
Luo Lixiang shook his head, "ughter it today and send the meat to my home. I want the tender meat of thismb!"
Luo Lixiang''s words sounded very sinister. He handed themb to the old farmer aggressively and walked away. While going elsewhere, he told them without turning back, "When you bring the meat, I will give you the money as promised. You know my house, right?"
"... Yes."
"Send it before tonight. Don''t let me wait. I don''t like waiting for other people."
"Okay."
The old man said as he saw Luo Lixiang was going away. He felt guilty in his heart as he clutched themb and loosened his grip. The little thing jumped away as soon as it was released and ran towards its mother.
"Baba, how can you sell it? It''s so young…" The girl felt like crying. She didn''t want any of the animals her family was taking care of to be sold to others, moreover selling a baby animal.
The old man turned around and shouted, "Do I have to take your permission to do something from now on?! Go there and do your job properly."
The girl was angry as she wanted to persuade him to take back his words. But he said, "If you are so free,e and help in the field."
The old man dragged the girl with him and made her work in the field until afternoon. Even when everyone left, he didn''t let her go home and eat. The girl was so tired that the thought of themb escaped her mind.
After the farmer got time, he caught themb and butchered it. With pain and reluctance in her eyes, the girl saw it and couldn''t help but cry.
The struggle of themb made her so angry that she broke some stem of nts. After the old man delivered a bag which had the meat and bones with his wife, with great interest, Luo Lixiang made soup. Which was blend but very fragrant.
It was already thete afternoon.
While making, someone knocked on the door. With annoyance, he went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, someone threw herself on his embrace.
"Baby! What are you doing now?!" Kong Pipi rubbed her face on his cheek. As soon as she smelled the air, her eyes lit up.
