Xiaoxue was unsure of how much this statue is worth. She estimated her savings, including her usual pocket money, New Year's New Year's money and the anchor's income, which combined very generously. She had no money to spend, so she gradually saved a lot of money. However, she didn't want to give too expensive gifts, and if it was too expensive, Zhang Zian would definitely not accept them. Although the person was always stingy, he refused the donation from netizens last time.

"Well... how much does this cat god cost? If it's too expensive, I can't afford it..." She asked the old man with a smirk, not very skillful use of bargaining skills. She was afraid that the old man would not believe it, so she quickly explained: "I am just a small anchor, not like a national big anchor who earns millions a day..."

"How much is it..."

The old man seemed to have seen through her thoughts, stretched out five fingers and smiled, "Just give this number."

Xiaoxue is most troubled by the fact that others are hitting this kind of puzzle. How many of the five fingers are there? She has no relevant concept at all!

"Fifty thousand?" she asked tentatively. If the old man said it was five hundred thousand, she had to turn around and leave.

"It doesn't take that much, five thousand." The old man put down his hand and laughed, feeling the expression on her face was very interesting.

Xiaoxue exclaimed again, "Five thousand? Are you kidding?"

"I'm joking?" The old man put his hands on his back, his expression serious, "I'm a businessman, how can I make a price at will?"

"But..." Xiaoxue was still unbelievable. No matter how you look at this statue, it doesn't look like it is worth only 5,000 yuan. Even a small wooden ornament given to her father, said to be worth tens of thousands of yuan. In her opinion, it is completely incomprehensible. Isn't it just a piece of broken wood? But this statue is different, its material, shape and origin are extraordinary. Unless the old man deliberately deceives her, there is no reason it can compare to a small ornament with broken wood.

Will he lie to her? Xiaoxue looked at him secretly. Although the scammer would not write the word "scammer" on his face, the old man really doesn't look like a scammer. He is like this in terms of appearance and conversation. Is it good for him to lie to her? Besides, even if he is cheated, it will only cost 5,000 yuan!

The old man also knew that he had to explain something further, otherwise he would be misunderstood by others and think that he had other plans, which would be too unfair. It would be fine if he really had plans, but the problem was that there was no one. He just thought that this little girl was very pleasing to her. As long as he liked her, he had sent out more expensive things.

He smiled and said, "A while ago, a customer took a fancy to this statue and made a reservation. Later, he broke the appointment and couldn't come to pick it up, so I couldn't contact you. Therefore, I was very embarrassed to throw it away if I had to deal with it. Unfortunately, it should not be treated like this. It would probably be picked up and sent to the scrap station and sold as scrap copper... Stay it, it is not suitable for me to keep it in my store. Therefore, if the little customer can buy it, it will be considered a matter of my worries."

Xiaoxue blinked. She was innocent but not stupid. She asked carefully: "From what you mean, I seem to dislike this statue?"

She had vaguely felt before, why was such a precious statue thrown in the corner of the store and allowed it to be covered with dust?

The old man did not answer her question directly, but walked to the door and waved to her, "Little guest, come out and take a look."

Xiaoxue walked to him and looked out.

The old man raised his hand and pointed at the wall opposite the alley. There were a few stray cats wandering around, constantly looking at this side, as if he wanted to come over, but he didn't dare to come over, and wanted to leave, but he couldn't bear to leave. Xiaoxue didn't understand why she was asked to see this.

"I am a cat lover." He said with regret. "This statue was given to me by one of my students. He knew that I love cats, so he worked hard to get this statue for me. If you suspect that this statue is not from the right place, there is no need to do it, it is neither stolen nor robbed."

"Oh, are you a teacher?" Xiaoxue asked. She felt that the old man was elegant and looked like an old pedantic, but even the teacher might have retired early.

"It was a long time ago." He straightened his back and looked into the distance, saying contentedly, "It can be considered as a world full of students."

Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, "If a hero doesn't mention his courage back then, let's talk about this statue first. My student gave me the statue. I knew that the Cat God statue had a very extraordinary origin and was very happy."

"If you like it, why do you have to sell it?" Xiaoxue was even more puzzled.

The old man also showed a confused look, "I love cats. When I was in Beijing, not only did I raise cats by myself, but I couldn't help but feed them when I saw stray cats foraging... But since I came to Binhai City, strange things have happened. No matter what food I took to lure them, these stray cats never dared to approach my shop. After investigation, I found that the problem lies with this cat god statue. As long as I took it out of the shop, those stray cats would dare to come."

Xiaoxue was so sensible that she did not interrupt him.

"I don't believe in evil in this life, but the facts are there, and I can't help but believe it." The old man smiled bitterly, "I can only make a deduction for the spiritual beings, even if it's just a fake."

Hearing the words "Divine Things Engagement", Xiaoxue felt cold behind her back and shrank her little face into the collar of the down jacket.

The old man said, "This is why I am eager to send it away. I can't suppress it, either, my small shop can't suppress it. The temple cannot accommodate this great god."

When Xiaoxue heard this, she hesitated. If this cat god statue is as magical as the old man said, it may be a problem to be sent to the pet store? There are many cats in the pet store. If she is frightened by the cat god statue... she cannot bear this responsibility. But if she just gave up like this, it would be a pity. This is a chance that she may miss it and will never have any more.

She was unsure of her mind, so she was lazy and thought of a solution and said to the old man: "I'm sorry, actually I want to buy this statue and give it to someone. I want to discuss it with him first before deciding, okay?"

The old man smiled, "Please take care of yourself, please." After saying that, he picked up the feather duster and walked back to the store to scan this and brush it against that, with a leisurely and comfortable demeanor.

Xiaoxue sent a message to Zhang Zi'an.

Xiaoxue: I will go to your place to live broadcast later, can I not?

Zhang Zi'an replied in seconds: If you can let me advertise, please welcome it.

Xiaoxue: "..." It turns out that Zhang Zian is still the same, and it has not changed at all.

Xiaoxue: I heard that your store is about to reopen, and it has caused you many times. I plan to bring some gifts to you, but I don’t know if it’s appropriate…

Zhang Zian: What's wrong with it? I dare to accept it if it's a gift! If you say it first, don't expect me to give it a discount, and don't expect me to give it back.

Xiaoxue laughed out loud.

Xiaoxue: This gift is a bit strange. The store says it is supernatural, especially for cats, it seems to make cats frightened and uneasy.

Zhang Zian: Is it valuable?

Xiaoxue:...it's worth some money.

Zhang Zian: Then I will refuse everyone. Even if I send it, I don’t believe that I can’t cure it!

Xiaoxue: Okay, then I will bring the gift here in a while.

She put away her cell phone, put down a thought, trotted back to the store, and said to the old man: "I want to buy this cat god statue!"
