Chapter 75: Chapter 74 Barter Chapter 75: Chapter 74 Barter However, Bai Junjun was the least susceptible to such tactics, which is why she let the rabbit walk away without any intention of stopping him.
Feeling frustrated, the rabbit stomped off a distance of ten ters, only to realize that the person behind him had indeed not called him back.
Out of options, he could only return, still fuming with anger.
The rabbit reluctantly handed over his water bladder: “You said half, and I won’t agree to a drop less.”
Seeing the young man angrily walk away only to return with the sa fury, Bai Junjun suddenly felt the vibrant spirit of youth in him, a “human warmth” that she couldn’t help but laugh at.
In the end, almost as if possessed, she handed him the entire water bladder.
The young man was sowhat surprised, “You…?”
“I’m making an exception this ti by giving you a full bladder, but next ti, we’ll only trade for half a bladder,” Bai Junjun answered nonchalantly.
The rabbit couldn’t help but be amazed.
In these tis, he had seen too many people betray and abandon others for food and drink, so although the girl’s change of heart was annoying, it was not beyond his expectations.
After all, he was the one asking for help. Negotiations naturally put those in need at a disadvantage, and he was prepared to take the loss.
Yet, just when he braced himself for the worst, she gave him a whole bladder of water.
At that mont, the rabbit’s feelings were quite complex.
Bai Junjun, however, was open-hearted, but she was not selfless enough to give him water collected from the Magical Wood she had gathered in the early morning. Instead, she gave him Water of Flora gathered a few days prior.
This water couldn’t compare to the Magical Wood Water, but for an ordinary person, it was still enough to strengthen the body, comparable in value to Ginseng Water.
The rabbit was unaware that Bai Junjun’s water bladders varied in quality. When he opened the valve, a fresh herbal scent enveloped him. It wasn’t quite the sa as what he had slled in the morning, but he assud it was due to evaporation.
The rabbit convinced himself and joy lit up his face.
He looked at Bai Junjun with gratitude and then rrily ran back.
Little did they know, their entire exchange had been observed by Old Uncle Qiu and his family.
Seeing Miss Junjun hand over the precious water bladder to soone else, they all felt a twinge of pain.
After all, it was Immortal Water that even they were reluctant to drink.
However, their pain didn’t last long. When Bai Junjun handed the gray pouch to Madam Liu, everyone was shocked.
Because inside that nondescript gray pouch lay ten bird eggs.
“This… this…”
Under normal circumstances, no one would be surprised if soone managed to collect bird eggs, even from the most hidden nests.
Yet, along their journey of escape, everything edible that flew in the sky or swam in water had been sought after relentlessly. How could there possibly be any overlooked prey, let alone bird eggs!
These eggs were now more valuable than gold or silver!
Madam Liu instinctively covered the bag of eggs, and the n of the Qiu family also scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
But the people around understood and looked away when they t the gaze of the Qiu n.
Once they saw what had been traded, Old Uncle Qiu could no longer voice his earlier concerns.
These bird eggs could save lives in critical tis.
Trading Immortal Water for bird eggs almost seed fair.
After all, one could still collect Immortal Water early in the morning with so luck, but bird eggs were not so easily found.
Bai Junjun had never eaten bird eggs, and she was very much looking forward to Madam Liu cooking them.
Xiao Shan and Bai Lingyu were also swallowing hard in anticipation.
However, Madam Liu was sowhat reluctant.
They were too precious, better to save them unless they were on the brink of starvation.
Seeing the children’s eager faces, Old Uncle Qiu suggested, “Let’s cook one for the kids.”
