When Chen Ran turned around and looked around, he saw a black shadow being thrown out of the window on the first or second floor of Apartment No. 2. When the black shadow fell to the ground, it was only two meters away from the old man.
If not, I almost hit the old man.
With a pop, the black shadow fell on the ground and rolled far away. It wasn't until it stopped that Chen Ran saw clearly that the thrown stone turned out to be a black and white stone!
Stone!
At this moment, Chen Ran was undoubtedly a little sensitive to stones. When he saw a stone, he was stunned on the spot!
"Who is this incompetent? How can you throw things around? What if it hits someone?" The stone that was thrown down almost hit the old man. How could the old man not be angry? He stretched his neck and pulled his red face and pointed at the two.
There was a loud shout from the window of the building.
However, there was no echo at all from the second floor, and they ignored him. He shouted angrily for a while, then stopped. He walked to the place where the stone fell and picked it up, complaining in a low voice: "Hey
, people nowadays really can’t say..."
On the other side, Chen Ran, who had come back to his senses, quickly wanted to pick up the stone, but just as he was about to lift his steps, he saw the old man picking up the stone, and then turned around and walked towards the apartment.
.
This scene suddenly shocked Chen Ran. What happened? Could it be that his appearance changed history?
This idea just came up, and the more Chen Ran thought about it, the more likely it was. After all, if he hadn't appeared, the old man would not have stopped chatting with him. If he hadn't chatted with him, when the stone was thrown down, the old man would have been there.
Just enter the apartment, so you won't be almost hit by rocks.
Seeing the old man turning around to leave, he didn't have time to think too much. He took a deep breath and chased after him. He only took two steps when the next scene shocked him so much that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
.
It turned out that the old man picked up the stone, took a look at it, and then walked towards the apartment with the stone in his arms. Chen Ran thought that the old man wanted to take the stone home to play with, so he quickly chased after him, but who knew that the old man did not want to take the stone home.
He took the stone home. When he walked to the door of the apartment, the old man muttered something about something and threw the stone toward the sewer on the right side of the apartment door.
There is a sewer on both sides of the door of Apartment No. 2. This sewer has an outlet just to the right of the door. The cover of the outlet was opened. The old man's hand was quite accurate. He only heard a bang, and then something heavy fell into the water.
There was a popping sound, and the stone seemed to be thrown directly into the sewer.
After throwing the stone, the old man entered the apartment.
But Chen Ran was stunned, completely stunned, completely stunned!
What is this? When Chen Ran came to his senses, he could only smile bitterly. The stone was thrown into the sewer and was not washed away directly. Even if it was not washed away, the sewage below was so deep, how could he still drain the water?
Can't we find the stone again?
After smiling bitterly, Chen Ran walked towards the exit of the sewer. He lowered his head and took a look into the sewer. Sure enough, there was deep water below, and he could still hear the sound of running water. Just taking a look, Chen Ran
Then I was speechless for a moment.
Hey!
A flash of black and white color suddenly flashed out of the corner of his eye, which made Chen Ran let out a light sigh. Then he quickly cast his gaze in. As soon as he looked there, his eyes suddenly lit up...
The sewer cover is placed next to the outlet, but half of it has sunk into the soil, while the other half is exposed at the exit. Where the exposed half meets the soil, there are
A small sloping platform.
Now there is a black and white stone on this small sloping platform.
But it was exactly the stone that the old man threw down just now!
Did you hear the sound of something falling into the water just now?
Squatting down, reaching out and grabbing the stone in his hand, Chen Ran put the stone directly into his pocket without even looking at it. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then thought about this problem. He had clearly heard just now
There was a sound of heavy objects falling into the water, but why didn't they fall in?
In fact, what he didn't know was that there was a stone here originally, but it was hit by the stone thrown by the old man.
Chen Ran didn't think much about it. Firstly, there was no need. Secondly, at this moment, many people had noticed him. After all, his traces were too weird. If he provoked the property security, it would be troublesome.
The stone in his pocket was like countless little bugs, making him itchy. He couldn't wait to take it out and study it carefully to see what kind of strange stone this stone was and why it was so valuable!
Back in the room, Chen Ran took the stone out of his pocket with some anticipation and curiosity.
The surface of the stone is covered with a lot of soil, as if it had just been dug out of the ground. The surface is black, white, and yellow. The whole is black, and the white is only the top, as if it has fallen on the stone.
The snowflakes on the surface are the same, but as for the yellow ones, they are completely covered with mud on the surface.
Chen Ran took a wet towel and twisted it until no water could be squeezed out. Only then did he dare to wipe off the dirt on the surface of the stone.
When all the soil covering the surface of the stone was wiped away, the original appearance of the stone was completely revealed in front of Chen Ran!
pretty!
Even Chen Ran, who lacks appreciation, couldn't help sighing. Although this stone is not big, it gives people the feeling of a steep snow peak. The whole stone looks like a steep mountain, and the top is white.
It's like snowflakes on the top of the mountain.
This is a Three Gorges stone.
Soon, Chen Ran came to the conclusion that he had some understanding of strange stones. After all, he had been doing jade carving work, so he had to look at more creative ideas in carving. In the strange stone shop, he
I didn’t go to see it less often.
There are many types of strange stones, such as Three Gorges Stone, Taihu Stone, Marble, Yellow River Stone, Yuhua Stone, Chrysanthemum Stone, etc. The characteristics of each type of stone are also different. Generally speaking, from the perspective of advocating nature, more expensive stones
Most of them are not artificially modified. What people really want to play with stones is the beauty of nature. If they are processed, it won't be much fun for them to play with.
As the name suggests, Three Gorges Stone is the general name for various strange stones produced in the Three Gorges area of the Yangtze River.
The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is both a natural geological museum and a natural stone art palace. The Three Gorges stones have strange shapes, abstract and ingenious, or resemble human objects, and are lifelike;
Become words…
As the saying goes, the Three Gorges’ strange rocks are endlessly charming!
Like the one Chen Ran picked up, it is of a pattern type and is obviously a type of landscape painting.
After observing for a long time, Chen Ran came back to his senses. After he came back to his senses, he lowered his head and considered how to get rid of this Three Gorges Stone. Although the Three Gorges Stone was very beautiful and people couldn't help but want to treasure it, he couldn't.
If he doesn't take action, if he doesn't take action, he will face an economic crisis.
Chen Ran really didn't know anyone who played with rocks. Mr. Shi was the ancestor of those who played with rocks. But Mr. Shi returned to Dongdu. Besides, Mr. Shi would definitely not bother with this anymore when he got older. It was okay to just play.
Not necessarily.
Gao Qiang had been on a mission during this period, and Chen Ran didn't want to disturb him, so he simply contacted Mr. Bai directly.
"Xiaoran, why did your phone turn off when I called you? I also saw your game this morning. It was a blockbuster. Haha, I asked you to celebrate, but who knew the phone was turned off!" As soon as the call was connected, Bai Lao was cheerful.
of laughter.
Chen Ran explained with a wry smile: "If the phone is going to be full of calls, you have no choice but to turn it off!"
"Haha, this is normal. I'm afraid you will be even more annoyed by tomorrow. Those jewelry companies are able to take advantage of each other better than the other, and they won't even bother you where you live!"
Bai Lao's words are true. The phone can't be reached. There are actually many jewelry companies now investigating Chen Ran's residence and preparing to visit directly. This is because the competition in the morning made Chen Ran famous overnight. At this time, if any jewelry company
If the company can let Chen Ran join, the company will undoubtedly be able to follow Chen Ran's popularity for a while.
After Bai Lao laughed, he also made a suggestion to Chen Ran, that is, let Chen Ran buy another pair of mobile phones, one to keep for outsiders and one for personal use. After all, if the phone is often turned off and friends need to contact him, he can
Can't be contacted.
Chen Ran had already thought about buying a mobile phone, but he had to wait until he changed hands of the Three Gorges Stone. Now he only has more than a thousand yuan in hand. To buy a mobile phone, he would not drink the northwest wind.
go.
Then Chen Ran told Mr. Bai that he had a piece of Three Gorges Stone that he wanted to sell. When Mr. Bai heard this, he immediately became interested and asked him to rush to Shui Linglong Club immediately.
In Zhongdu, the name of Shui Linglong Club is well known. It is said that this place is the gathering place for almost the entire upper class of Zhongdu. It implements a strict membership system. It does not mean that you can become a member if you have money, but you must also have the corresponding social conditions.
Status, and membership is also graded.
Pearl Homes symbolizes royal status in the eyes of ordinary people at the bottom, but Shui Linglong Club is the emperor among the upper class circles!
Although the levels of the two are almost the same, their status is completely different. Of course, for ordinary people, not to mention having been to the Shui Linglong Club, even if they have heard about it, they probably haven’t heard much about it, and it is only spread among the upper class.
That's all.
Shui Linglong Club was a bit far away from where Chen Ran lived, and it took him more than forty minutes to get there by taxi. The taxi stopped directly at the door of the club, and when Chen Ran was checking out, there was a man in a suit.
Someone opened the car door for him.
"Thanks!"
After thanking him, Chen Ran stepped directly into the club. After the improvement of his mood during this period, he did not have stage fright and did not even feel uncomfortable at all when entering such a high-end place.
"Welcome!" There were actually eight people wearing cheongsam standing at the door. After Chen Ran entered the club, a staff member in a suit came up to him and smiled at Chen Ran: "Hello, sir.
, may I ask you..."
Although Chen Ran was dressed in ordinary clothes, neither the etiquette nor the staff showed any disdain. If there are no members here, you cannot book a room. The staff looked at Chen Ran and knew that Chen Ran was here to find someone.
"Heaven's Punishment Number One!" Chen Ran directly reported the room number provided to him by Mr. Bai.
When Chen Ran said these words, the staff were immediately shocked. There are three levels of membership in the Shui Linglong Club. The lowest level is the human world, the next level is the earthly immortal, and the highest level is the heavenly punishment. There are some very fucking levels, and the heavenly level is
The penalty number is the box of the most mysterious boss in their club.
"Sir, please wait a moment..." Upon hearing that Chen Ran was going to his boss's box to find someone, the staff immediately stood in awe, but since he was not of a high level, he could not go to the third floor.
Chen Ran didn't understand their rules, but he was not stupid, so he nodded. Just as the staff member turned to leave, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind, making him couldn't help but turn his head and look -
