Chapter 2163: Chapter 2163: A Gift?
Su Ziyan’s words made Basen even more annoyed. Basen snorted, "Girl, I thought you were pretty, so I planned to have old Zaji set aside two camels for you.
But now, I’ve changed my mind. I don’t think there’s any need to reserve camels for you."
Su Ziyan shrugged her shoulders, too lazy to argue with Basen.
Seeing that Su Ziyan and Qin Yu remained silent, Basen thought she had been frightened by him, and he felt very pleased with himself.
"Basen, where did Uncle Zaji go? Why hasn’t he opened the door for business yet?"
"Based on what I know about old Zaji, he should be playing cards right now. Come on, let’s find him."
Hearing this, Su Ziyan slapped her forehead. How could she forget Uncle Zaji’s fondness for playing cards? If he wasn’t in the shop, he was definitely playing cards!
"Husband, it’s all my fault. I forgot about Uncle Zaji’s hobby; otherwise, we’d already be in the desert."
Su Ziyan’s words once again provoked laughter.
"Who would have thought, such a beautiful woman, but lying comes so naturally to her!"
"Beautiful lady, really, there’s no need to force the connection. If you were willing to join our team, we’d certainly spare a camel for you."
"Yeah, the desert is too dangerous. There’s strength in numbers. Besides, my sleeping bag is quite big, easily fitting two people!"
"Hahaha... Yang Fengshan, didn’t you see? She’s got a ’Flower Protector’."
Just as they finished speaking, they heard Basen’s voice, excited: "Aha! We don’t need to look anymore! Old Zaji is back! Looking at him, he must have lost quite a bit!"
Subconsciously following Basen’s gaze, Su Ziyan saw a frail, elderly man from the North Border.
Seeing that weathered face, Su Ziyan felt a sourness in her eyes. Uncle Zaji, you’ve grown old!
"Basen, I remember this beauty just said that she could rent camels for free. Let her rent first," said Bai Yi, his voice tinged with malice, noticing that old Zaji seemed in a bad mood.
Basen’s eyes lit up. A woman with such a vicious mind must be taught a lesson! Basen gave Bai Yi a knowing look, then quickly walked toward old Zaji.
"Old Zaji, my good friend! Business is here!"
Old Zaji’s eyes brightened when he saw Basen. Basen was right; he’d almost lost his pants! If he didn’t get some business to relieve the situation, old Zaji might end up eating dirt.
"Hahaha! Basen, my good friend, I’m so glad to see you! Come on, I’ll pick out some of the best camels for you!"
After embracing old Zaji, Basen laughed, "I’m not in a hurry to pick; first, a friend said she could rent your camels for free. You rent to her first, then we’ll talk."
Free? Old Zaji laughed. This was interesting! He’d never done business for free in his life!
Even the people from Flower Valley gave him a tip when they came and went.
Just as old Zaji was about to scoff, he heard a pleasant voice: "Wrong, Uncle Zaji isn’t renting to me for free, but giving them to me for free."
Giving them away?
All the mouths around were twitching non-stop!
Good heavens, good earth, this beauty looks so pretty, but how can her words be so unreliable?
Do you know how much a camel costs?
Give one to you? That’s laughable!
"Hahaha! I’m dying of laughter! Who doesn’t know that our old Zaji is famously iron... ahem, principled! No matter who rents a camel from him, he never offers a discount!
Giving them away?
That’s just ridiculously funny!"
"Beautiful lady, if you’re still half asleep, please go back and have some more rest. Say, my sleeping bag is also available for you to borrow. And if you need someone to keep you company in sleep, I don’t mind at all."
