Chapter 1078 You Have to Think About It
Lu Jingxing had no choice but to follow quickly.

As they were almost there, Ji Ling slowed down and waited for Lu Jingxing to join them. The two exchanged glances and nodded slightly. Lu Jingxing stepped forward and started chatting with them: "Hey, what's wrong with this dog?"

The German Shepherd's nose was completely swollen and looked like it was covered with a layer of cement.

The hair on the body is sparse, and there are redness, swelling and ulcers all over.

Before Lu Jingxing even walked up to the little guy, he could feel that it was in a very lethargic state.

It was more obvious when I walked closer. I saw that almost all the hair on its face had fallen out, and even the areas around its eyes were covered with white flakes, all signs of skin disease. Its eyes were so blurry that they were half-closed.

Ji Ling also came closer, and they both frowned at the same time.

The little guy was actually covered in wounds, with swollen and festering pustules on his eyes, nose and mouth, and various festering wounds on his body and tail. For such a large dog, one could clearly see its ribs on its back.

He was covered with scars and looked extremely emaciated.

I don’t know what the little guy went through.

Ji Ling looked up at the three bright red words "Dog Meat Shop" on the sign. They both felt sad when they thought about how the little German Shepherd, who should have been so majestic and powerful, had fallen to such a state.

"Brother, is this your own dog?" After looking at it, Lu Jingxing opened a cigarette for the other party and asked.

The man who was playing with his phone took the cigarette and spoke more politely. He tapped the cigarette butt twice, took out his lighter and lit it skillfully. After taking a puff, he slowly said, "Of course it's mine. Alas, it can't be cured. I just called the boss and I'm going to sell it to them."

There was no trace of reluctance in the man's eyes, as if he was preparing to trade away an unimportant item.

"Ah, you sold the dog you raised to a dog meat shop? They would kill the dog directly and serve it on the table." Ji Ling couldn't help but exclaimed.

"What can I do? Look how sick it is. I can't do anything about it. It's better than dying at home. I can still get a few hundred dollars if I sell it now..." the man said indifferently.

"But the dog has grown so big now, don't you feel any pain at all to deal with it like this?" Ji Ling asked unwillingly.

The man glanced at Ji Ling, and for some unknown reason, he said in a slightly impatient tone: "None of your business, the dog is mine, I decide how to deal with it myself..."

"Well, big brother, I'm sorry, please don't hold a grudge. The girl is just straightforward. Mainly because she used to have a German Shepherd, but the dog died of old age. So, she has a lot of feelings for it. When she heard that she was going to sell it to a dog meat shop, she felt a little reluctant..." Lu Jingxing said quickly.

For the sake of the cigarette, the man stopped being so high-profile and sighed: "Ah, who wants to, there is nothing we can do about it...

I used to like raising dogs, but now I don’t want to play with them at all. It’s over…

It is my breeding dog. It has given birth to many puppies for me. I could make some money from breeding before, but it has become unavailable in recent years. I don’t do it anymore. Besides it, I have only one puppy left at home.”

The man had a strong local accent and one could tell at once that he was a native of the area.

"Then haven't you thought about treating it? It should be a skin disease, it should be curable..." Ji Ling also knew that he was too anxious before. Now he has adjusted his mentality and his tone of voice has become gentler.

The man no longer cared and said, "It's been treated. At first, it just had a cut on its face. I don't know how it got so rotten. It was mainly because it scratched everywhere with its claws, and it got infected like this. Look, it's scary to look at it now..."

"Then haven't you thought about taking it to the hospital? It's just a skin disease, it can be cured in the hospital..." Ji Ling half squatted down and said unwillingly.

"I don't want to keep one anymore. I used to like playing with dogs, but now I don't want to keep one at all. I can't afford to go to the hospital. It will cost thousands to cure it if I have the money. If I have this money, I can buy any dog ​​I want, right..." the man said confidently.

Ji Ling was furious when he heard this.

The man kept on talking, "Seeing it like this now makes me sick. I just followed the trend and started raising dogs and selling their puppies. Now the puppies can't be sold at a high price. I won't do this anymore. If I can't cure it, I can just sell it and get some money back."

While the few people were talking, the little guy was standing quietly by the side. Although the man was holding the dog leash, he didn't use much force. It was obvious that the little guy was very obedient.

Ji Ling looked at Lu Jingxing who was also squatting next to her.

Lu Jingxing felt her gaze and immediately raised his head, looked at her, and told her not to be impatient.

Ji Ling nodded slightly.

Seeing the little guy's helpless eyes filled with deep sorrow, Lu Jingxing pretended to be casual and said, "Boss, tell me how much you can charge..."

"I don't know about that yet. Hasn't he arrived yet?" said the man.

Suddenly he seemed to sense something, and quickly pulled his dog forward, then put his hands in his pockets and stopped talking.

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Jingxing had no choice but to take the initiative and said, "Why don't you sell it to us? You see, my girlfriend loves it very much, so I'll just do it as a good deed."

The man glanced at them, and a mischievous smile flashed across his eyes.

He said, "That's not impossible. I'm going to sell it anyway, so it doesn't matter who I sell it to..."

"How much do you want to sell it for?" Ji Ling asked.

The man thought about it and held out two fingers...

"Two hundred, okay, no problem..." Ji Ling responded without thinking.

The man chuckled and said, "Girl, your money is too big, please add another zero..."

"What? You want two thousand?" Ji Ling couldn't help but break down and said loudly.

"Yes, it's two thousand. It's a German Shepherd. If you have ever raised one, you will know how much a German Shepherd costs on the market. The two thousand I'm giving you is still a bargain." The man acted in a high-profile manner again, leaning against the big tree next to him.

Ji Ling was so annoyed by him that her stomach ached: "Why don't you go and rob it? Don't you know what it looks like now? Can it be compared with a normal German Shepherd? Besides, you may not be able to get 2,000 yuan if you sell it to a dog meat shop?"

"How much I sell it to the dog meat shop is none of your business. Anyway, I'm going to sell it for 2,000 now. If you want it, take it. If not, don't waste my time here..." The man was getting impatient. "Boss, tell me a sincere price. We don't have to buy it. We just feel sorry for it. We won't put it on the table after we buy it back. We have to treat its illness. You know, curing its illness is not a small amount of money. Just tell me a price that everyone can accept. If possible, we will take it away." Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Lu Jingxing spoke up quickly.

The man snorted coldly. It was unknown whether he had a natural hatred towards girls, but he would always retort to whatever Ji Ling said.

But as soon as Lu Jingxing spoke, he felt better.

Ji Ling was even more depressed. Isn't it said that women are more likely to succeed in business? Has this man been hurt by a woman before, so he has a hatred towards all women?

Thinking of this, she stopped talking and gave the final say to Lu Jingxing.

It seemed that it was unwise for her to say this. She had clearly sensed the man's ill will towards her from the beginning, so she shouldn't have said any more.

Lu Jingxing didn't know that Ji Ling had already had many thoughts in his mind, he just followed the man's words.

"It has to be at least fifteen hundred. If it's less than fifteen hundred, forget it..." the man said firmly.

Lu Jingxing knew that this person had taken advantage of their desire to rescue the German Shepherd and was deliberately raising the price.

When he came, he said, "Even if I sell it to a dog meat shop, I can at least make back a few hundred dollars." But now he insists on asking for so much.

Indeed, if the little guy was healthy, then not to mention fifteen hundred, even two thousand five hundred would not be excessive, but the problem now is that he is going to be sent to a dog meat shop.

What does a dog meat shop mean? It means they sell dog meat by the pound.

The dog served on the table does not care what breed it is. In fact, the smaller the breed, the lower the price, because the meat of purebred dogs is not necessarily delicious.

He didn't believe that the dog meat shop owner would pay more than a thousand dollars to buy his dog.

This guy is a typical profiteer!
Judging from his tone, the price cannot be negotiated.

However, seeing the disappointment in Ji Ling's eyes, Lu Jingxing made one last effort: "It can't be any less, right?"

“Hmph…it can’t be less, not even a cent less…” The man snorted, looking as if he had them figured out.

The little guy didn't know if he understood that these people were bargaining about his worth. He hadn't reacted until now, but suddenly he raised his head and looked at Lu Jingxing, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Lu Jingxing looked at the little guy, then looked at Ji Ling who was squatting on the ground feeling aggrieved. It seemed as if a string in his heart was about to break: Just give in and buy it back.

But the other one immediately objected: No, how can we let such a little guy get away with it? I would rather buy it from the dog dealer than let him get away with it...

In the end, the string behind won.

Lu Jingxing pulled Ji Ling up: "Okay, then just wait and sell it to the dog meat shop. It's not our dog anyway. Besides, like you said, I can buy a good dog for thousands of dollars. Let's go, let's go eat, don't let this inexplicable thing affect your mood..."

Ji Ling didn't react at once, but she cooperated very well. She stood up immediately, held Lu Jingxing's hand tightly, and followed him obediently.

"Oh, no, you're leaving just like that? You're too cruel. If I sell it to a dog meat shop, it will have no way out..." Seeing that the two men gave up leaving so quickly, the man hurriedly spoke to keep them.

"You are really joking. Wasn't it you who caused it to die? How come we are the ones who are cruel? Isn't it your dog now?" Lu Jingxing was really amused by this man's train of thought.

"Don't you like dogs? You want me to run a dog meat shop like this? It's really..." The man was actually a little annoyed. Was the price too high? But a German Shepherd costs one or two thousand yuan each, and fifteen hundred yuan is not too high, right?

But he seemed to have forgotten that he himself could really be worth so much.

Lu Jingxing didn't even turn his head and pulled Ji Ling forward, as if he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"No, then tell me how much you can offer. Name your price..." Seeing that the two men were really about to leave, the man shouted again.

How could he not know that if the dog was sold to a dog meat shop, the maximum price would be three hundred yuan, no more? They are doing business, not charity. A dog like this only has a few pounds of meat on it. How could he get any advantage by weighing it?

He was sure that Lu Jingxing and his friends were young men, and the girl was attracted to them. Even if he asked for a higher price, the boy would grit his teeth and pay for it in order to please the girl.

However, he didn't expect that this person would not play by the rules and gave up so easily. Hey, why are young people nowadays so realistic?
Also, shouldn't the girl be crying and refusing to leave unless she bought the item? How could she just leave so easily?
Moreover, there is no emotion at all.

Even if she is a little stingy, she can still raise the price. In order to please the girl, the boy will definitely be willing to pay at least one thousand, if not fifteen hundred.

It's over. I feel that the boy is not willing to pay one thousand. He won't bargain for eight hundred. If it's eight hundred, I will ask him to add a little more. Eight hundred and eighty, anyway, the more the better.

"Three hundred..." Just as he was daydreaming, Lu Jingxing's voice came from right in front of him.

"How much? Are you crazy? Is this how you bargain?" The man reacted and immediately started cursing.

"You asked me to quote a price. This is all I'm offering. If you're willing to sell it, then sell it. If not, forget it. I didn't say you must pay this price..." Lu Jingxing shrugged. Ji Ling stood not far away and watched him with a leisurely expression. She didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, as if she didn't care whether the dog wanted it or not.

The man glanced at Ji Ling out of the corner of his eye and cursed her eighteen times in his heart. How could this girl not be so arrogant? The boy was dressed well but it seemed that he had no money at all. Three hundred was such a loss. It was no different from being sold to a dog meat shop. No, no.

"Five hundred, at least five hundred..." The man stretched out five fingers.

"Deal..." Lu Jingxing said immediately before he finished speaking, then reached out to take the rope in his hand, and took out five hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the man.

It all happened so quickly and smoothly that there was no time for people to react.

By the time he reacted, the dog leash was already in Lu Jingxing's hand, and in his hand he was holding RMB that still had Lu Jingxing's body temperature.

"No, this..." The man looked at the money in his hand, then looked at the dog that was standing next to Lu Jingxing.

"How can you regret it? It's okay. It doesn't matter whether I keep the dog or not, but I never do repeat business. You have to think about it carefully. Should I take the dog away, or?" Lu Jingxing looked at him with a smile.
