The boss, seeing Little Jing Kong’s adorable little face, ultimately couldnʼt bear to say that his things were fake and couldnʼt be pawned. He just told him, ”If it canʼt be pawned, it canʼt be pawned. Now stop running around and go home quickly!”

Having been rejected, Little Jing Kong sighed heavily.

He hung his head and slowly walked out of the pawnshop with his book bag.

There were three pawnshops on Xuanwu Street. He also went to the other two but he was kicked out before he could even go in.

The little guy who had been rejected repeatedly was a little hurt in his heart and pouted in grievance.

He walked back with his head down.

Suddenly, a man dressed in a crescent white long robe with a dark semi blue muslin outer clothing and a jade belt around his waist blocked Little Jing Kongʼs way.

The man, who had gentle features, held a folding fan in his hand and smiled at Little Jing Kong, ”Little brother, do you want to sell something?”

”How do you know?” Little Jing Kong looked at him warily.

The man patted his palm with the folding fan and said with a smile, ”I was just in that pawnshop selecting something and saw you being kicked out.”

”Oh.” Little Jing Kong was relieved. ”So you saw it.”

The man smiled slightly. ”Itʼs a coincidence. I didnʼt find any antiques I liked in the pawnshop. I wonder if you have anything I might like?”

Little Jing Kong thought for a moment then said, ”I can show you!”

The man squatted down and reached into Little Jing Kongʼs book bag. As he looked, he kept showing surprise, ”Little brother, you have so many good things!”

Little Jing Kong puffed out his chest, saying, ”I told you! I have a lot of good stuff! And you have good taste too! Whatever you want, Iʼll pawn it to you for a cheap price! No, I donʼt know you, so I can’t get it back in the future. Then, Iʼll sell it to you cheap!”

He had asked Granduncle what pawning meant and learned that it was different from selling.

The man chuckled and took out a golden abacus from Little Jing Kongʼs book bag.

The owner of the first pawnshop didnʼt see this golden abacus, otherwise, he would know it was definitely not fake.

Of all the things Little Jing Kong had, this golden abacus was his favorite.

He was heartbroken when he saw the man pick it out.

The man smiled and said, ”Sell this to me, how about it?”

Little Jing Kong restrained his deep reluctance and bit his lip, nodding. ”This one, this one is very expensive!”

”How much silver?” The man asked.

Little Jing Kong said painfully, ”Five, five hundred taels of silver!”

This was the exact amount he needed. He wouldnʼt sell it for less.

”Deal!” The man readily handed him five one hundred tael silver banknotes.

Little Jing Kong accepted the silver banknotes and reluctantly glanced at his beloved abacus.

Little Gold, farewell.

Iʼm sorry, I really donʼt want to sell you.

But thereʼs no other way.

Little Jing Kong recognized real silver banknotes, after all, he collected rent every month.

He tucked the silver banknotes away, shouldered his book bag, and tearfully turned away.

Looking at Little Jing Kongʼs sorrowful figure, the man couldnʼt help but chuckle. He called out, ”Little brother! My name is Ming Yue, you can call me Young Master Ming Yue! Weʼll meet again!”

Little Jing Kong wiped away his tears with his hand.

Sob-sob.

Little Gold was gone.

He felt so sad!

”Young master.” A gray-clad young guard walked out of the alley and looked at the golden abacus in the man’s hand. He asked, ”He has so many good things in there, why did the young master choose the least valuable one?”

Thatʼs right. Any one of the items in Little Jing Kongʼs tattered book bag was more valuable than the golden abacus.

The man glared at him, ”You want me to take advantage of a child?”

The young guard rolled his eyes and thought to himself, as if you didn’t take advantage of the kid just now. Five hundred taels of silver banknotes for a golden abacus? What a rip-off!

”But…” The young guard returned to the topic at hand, ”Is this child really related to that person?”

The man snorted coldly, ”Besides that person, who else could have gotten so many treasures?”

The young guard paused, ”Then… Will that person appear?”

The man looked at the small figure that gradually disappeared at the end of the street and said, ”Keep an eye on this little monk, that person will definitely show up one day!”

Little Jing Kong didnʼt return home until the sky was dark. When he entered the house, he took a deep breath and composed himself, not wanting JiaoJiao to see him upset about Little Gold.

He poked his dimples, put on a smile, and cutely entered the room.

Gu Jiao, who had just finished chopping wood and preparing medicinal herbs, turned around to see the little guy hopping over.

”Youʼre back?” She said.

”En!” Little Jing Kong ran over and extended his short arms to Gu Jiao, saying, ”JiaoJiao, Iʼll help you carry it!”

”You can carry this.” Gu Jiao scooped a small ladle of herbs from the big basket for him.

”Okay!” Little Jing Kong happily picked up the ladle and carefully went back to the main room without spilling a piece of herb.

After dinner, Gu Jiao went to pack up Little Jing Kongʼs things.

The little guy always made a mess of his things and wouldn’t put them back properly.

This time, Gu Jiao found something missing while packing. Most of Little Jing Kongʼs things were in different boxes, and she generally didnʼt open those boxes without his permission, not because they looked shabby, but because she respected the childʼs privacy.

However, some things were directly exposed, such as the small golden abacus.

”Jing Kong.” Gu Jiao called out.

”Hmm?” Little Jing Kong walked in from the main room where he was lining up his little chickens. He tilted his head and asked, ”Whatʼs wrong, JiaoJiao?”

”Where is your abacus?” Gu Jiao asked doubtfully.

Little Jing Kong spun his eyes and said, ”I left it in the medical hall!”

”Is that so?” Gu Jiao thought for a moment before responding, ”But I just finished cleaning the little box you left in the medical hall today, and I didnʼt see your abacus.”

Little Jing Kong blinked his eyes and said, ”Oh, I just forgot. I actually lent it to brother Chu Yu! He said he would return it in a while!”

Little Jing Kong rarely lied, and he had a good reputation, so Gu Jiao did not suspect him.

After leaving the room, Little Jing Kong covered his small chest and took a long breath of relief.

He was scared to death just now. He was almost caught by JiaoJiao, but fortunately, he was a clever little man!
