Part 7
"You should be satisfied with this, right? This is a sky-high price," the confident man said. But Li Yong still shook his head.
"No, no matter how much you offer, I won't sell it." Li Yong said.
The confident man looked at Li Yong in surprise.
He thought Li Yong was crazy.
"You won't sell it for five thousand yuan? What are you thinking? I really don't understand you," he said.
"I don't think much about it," Li Yong said. "This little guy came to me for treatment, so I have to take responsibility until the end."
The confident man finally couldn't help it.
"Why do I feel like you're a little crazy?" the confident man said.
Li Yong laughed.
"Really? Maybe," Li Yong said.
"He's really crazy, a little crazy." The confident man shook his head and said to the girl.
He had thought the girl would stand by him.
Dinner.
The girl also wanted to have dinner, so of course she should support the confident man.
But what he didn't expect was that the girl supported Li Yong.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with him," the girl said.
"There's nothing wrong with him. He wouldn't even sell a weasel for five thousand yuan, and he's trying to build a relationship with it, or even trust it. Hey, I've had enough," the confident man said.
The girl still supported Li Yong . She looked at him with admiration.
"I think he's pretty good," the girl said.
Li Yong almost thought the way the girl looked at him was a little affectionate.
The confident man was a little exasperated.
"He's good? Hey, what's good about him?" the confident man asked the girl.
The girl didn't answer him directly.
She turned to look at the little thing in Li Yong's arms.
The little creature poked its head out, as if it knew everyone was talking about it.
"Look how cute it is! How could you have the heart to eat it?" the girl asked.
It was cute, of course, and the confident man didn't deny it.
"Little lambs and little rabbits are cute too, don't we humans eat them too?" the confident man said. The girl didn't like his theory.
"It's not just cute, it's smart," the girl said.
Smart? The confident man could only smile wryly.
"It's very smart. It had glass stuck in its paw, and it knew to ask for help. Isn't it smart?" the girl said.
Li Yong then remembered that the little creature was deliberately trying to show him. Otherwise, why didn't it hide in the nearby bushes, making it harder for Li Yong to spot it?
"What's especially clever about it is that it chooses people," the girl said to the confident man.
"Choose people? What do you mean?" The confident man didn't understand.
The girl smiled.
"If this little creature asked you for help, it would be doomed. You would definitely eat it," the girl told the confident man.
That was for sure.
The confident man would never miss this opportunity.
"But there's no dinner tonight. Do you want to eat cold bread?" the confident man asked the girl.
The girl didn't care.
"No matter how cute or smart it is, it's still a weasel. We can use it to satisfy our hunger and make a pot of delicious meat and hot soup. Don't you have an appetite? Don't you want to eat?" the confident man asked again.
The girl looked at the confident man.
"It's so cute, I'll never have the appetite to eat it," the girl said.
The confident man smiled bitterly.
"Then what are you having for dinner?" the confident man asked.
"Nothing, that's fine," the girl said.
The seventh girl broke off completely with the confident man.
She no longer walked with them.
She walked with Li Yong.
Occasionally, she would hold the little one for Li Yong.
The old man seemed to have also left the confident man's group and walked behind Li Yong and his group.
The three men who fell behind were the confident man and his group.
They were whispering to each other.
It was obvious that they were planning something, brewing something.
After sunset, they rested on a high hill.
The three men didn't set up their tents either. Instead, they muttered for a while before heading towards Li Yong and the others.
Li Yong knew a challenge had arrived.
Directly enough, the confident man and his three companions rushed towards the little creature in the girl's arms.
Li Yong blocked their path.
"What? What? What do you want to do?" Li Yong asked. The confident man sneered.
"We're going to catch that weasel for dinner," the confident man said.
Li Yong sneered back.
"If you want to catch that little creature, you have to ask my permission first," Li Yong said.
One of the confident man's classmates spoke first.
He must have already thought of this argument.
"Your consent is not necessary. We discovered this weasel together, and we have the final say," he said.
Li Yong could only smile bitterly.
"When did you and I discover it together? Can't you speak with conscience?" Li Yong asked.
The confident man was being shameless.
