Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Lin Xia: "Brother Huo, listen to me. These three items are replacements for the defective items you sold me yesterday."

Lin Xia pointed at the hemp rope, the net and the pickaxe, and then at the flying hook, "This is my compensation for the serious damage caused by your defective goods. Although it's a little less, you should know that people who sell fake goods will pay ten times the price. I've been very good to you and only asked you to exchange one for one."

After Huo An heard this, he felt that it was indeed the case and felt relieved. Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Lin Xia say, "But, Brother Huo, did you forget that you gave me something as a gift yesterday?"

Huo An was shocked! This shameless guy, does he have to pay compensation for the damage caused by the gift?

How could a broken fire stick, which we don't even know if it can light a fire, cause any catastrophic losses?

Lin Xia: "Brother Huo, you have to show some support to comfort my heart that has been hurt so badly! I don't blame you, really! You are my brother after all!"

At this moment, Huo An was so stunned by Lin Xia's amazing move that he even forgot to ask Lin Xia what damage the gift had caused.

In fact, because the things Huo An gave him yesterday were too worn out, Lin Xia tried them one by one before digging the trap. Although the hemp rope and the net were not of good quality, they could still be used 1-2 times. The shovel was scrapped at once because the hole dug yesterday was too deep.

But the fire starter that Huo An gave me, I don’t know what material it is made of, but it is really good. It lights up with a slight blow, without any problems at all.

Huo An wiped his face and asked depressedly: "What do you want?"

Lin Xia chuckled: "Do you have a tent? You know, sometimes in the mountains, when you walk a long way and get tired, there is no place to rest. It would be great if we could have a tent, right?"

Huo An wanted to send this shameless guy away quickly, so he agreed immediately. He then pulled out a small bag from a corner behind him and handed it to Lin Xia: "These are all good things. I'm giving them to you!"

Lin Xia looked at him steadily without saying anything.

Huo An's old face turned red, and he argued: "The suit I gave you yesterday is really a good thing! At least it used to be. Those are just stored for a long time and not well maintained..." At the end, his voice was inaudible.

Lin Xia looked at the tent in her hand and asked, "Why is this tent so light? Doesn't it have a support or something? Otherwise, how do you set it up?"

Huo An: "So this is a good thing, you don't have to set it up yourself, it only takes two steps and the tent is ready."

Lin Xia was skeptical, is it possible to set up a tent so easily?

Huo An was proud: "That's right. Seeing your inexperienced look, the first step is to untie the straps. The second step is to throw the tent in your hand to the place you have chosen, and the tent will naturally open. How is it? Awesome, right? Haha..."

Lin Xia: "I'll trust you again this time. If anything goes wrong again, I'll come to you again!"

"That's impossible. You have to believe me~" Huo An vowed, "You have to know that I was really careless yesterday. I definitely didn't mean to trick you."

Lin Xia: "Okay~Brother~, look, I have so many things now, can you give me another box to put them in? I think the rattan box you just used to put the tools in is pretty good, I don't mind~"

Huo An's expression changed in an instant: "Go away! Go quickly! If you don't dislike it, I dislike you!"

Lin Xia...

Huo An continued, "The cloth bag we had yesterday is absolutely fine. It can hold 10 or 8 tools. How many do you have? You are well-off!"

Lin Xia: "How many pieces can you fit in there at most?"

Huo An: "...10 pieces~, the heaviest cannot exceed 50 kilograms."

Lin Xia: ……

Forget it, you can’t get all the wool in one day, you have to be frugal, there is a long way to go!

Lin Xia left Zak's cabin quite contentedly, but before leaving she gave Huo An a piece of mithril ore. Huo An was so excited that he immediately forgot all of Lin Xia's evil deeds. His eyes were shining as he stared at the ore. He happily told Lin Xia, "Come often when you have time!" He almost waved his handkerchief.

Lin Xia first walked along the coastline, picked the purple herbs unique to the seaside, then headed north to the church. Sure enough, Cliff, who looked quite depressed, was sitting on the bench in the front as usual.

"Good afternoon, Cliff!"

"Good afternoon, Lin Xia!"

"Happy birthday!" Lin Xia said as she handed over the cake in her backpack. "The grocery store is closed today, so it's not packaged. I hope you don't mind!"

"Oh my God! Lin Xia~" Cliff was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, "I never thought that someone would remember my birthday and give me a gift. Thank you so much, I'm so happy!"

Lin Xia said embarrassedly: "Don't be like this, Cliff, we are friends!"

Cliff turned his back and wiped his eyes, then looked back at Lin Xia with a smile.

Lin Xia changed the subject: "Hey~Where's Carter?"

Cliff: "He's in the confessional, do you want to confess?"

Lin Xia's heart moved: Oh, I haven't confessed for a long time, let's do it once today!

So, Lin Xia straightened her clothes (no idea why she had to do that, it was pitch black inside and she couldn't see anything, so what was there to straighten?), and walked into the confessional with a calm expression.

It was the same scene, and Carter asked calmly, "What do you want?"

Lin Xia: "I'm here to confess!"

Carter: "What are you going to confess? Not taking care of the animals? Using the gadgets until you drop dead? Being disliked by the townspeople?"

Lin Xia???

What? Now there is a choice in confession?

Lin Xia: “I didn’t take care of the animals at all.”

After Lin Xia finished speaking, she quickly glanced at the favorability of each animal and memorized it.

Carter: "What do you think of the animals you raise? They share their milk and wool with you, right? Don't you think of taking care of them in return? These animals are really pitiful to be raised by such owners. God has not forgiven you. One day you will be punished! Today's confession ends here.

Please come back anytime."

Lin Xia was asked to leave the confessional, feeling dazed!

I can't express my feelings in words - I regret being scolded! I feel terrible to receive such comments!

Seeing Lin Xia's unhappy expression, Cliff quickly asked, "What's wrong? Lin Xia?"

Lin Xia smiled a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "God has not forgiven me! What should I do?"

Cliff comforted her, "It's okay, Lin Xia, relax. As long as we learn from our mistakes, God will forgive us one day. Believe me!"

Lin Xia looked at Cliff's expression. He seemed very calm, but a little too calm. It didn't fit his depressed personality at all.

Logically speaking, being hated by God should have made him even more overwhelmed, so how could he be so calm?

By the way, I confessed and was forgiven before, and I received corresponding benefits; now that I have not been forgiven, will there be any punishment?

Lin Xia immediately checked her game panel information.
