Chapter 2217 The last time
The old man was surprised.
Why did my son come back to ask about Yuqiu after five years?
...
Facing the old man's inquiry, he couldn't express his suspicions.
He was afraid of being laughed at by the old man.
He also felt that he was a little too whimsical?
But the concern in his heart made him unable to let go of this matter.
He pretended not to care and fooled around.
The old man didn't delve into it.
He told all the information about Yuqiu very concisely.
But to him, they are all commonplace.
Back then, in order to get him to agree to carry this jade ball with him, the old man said these words over and over again.
His ears felt like they were ringing.
"Nothing else?"
He was a little unwilling.
For example, did you hear something strange, like a sheep bleating?
...
The old man seemed to have noticed something.
"there is none left."
"What do you want to know?"
The old man's eyes became a bit searching and sharp.
He was speechless.
In the end, I could only return disappointed.
...
Since the old man can't get any useful information...
He didn't give up.
While he was thinking hard, he suddenly thought of Lao Cai whom he met a few days ago.
Lao Cai seems to have met a lot of masters in the past few years?
He also met someone at Lao Cai's fresh food shop before.
Master...ah...
His heart moved.
...
He used his personal connections to find many so-called experts.
They all look quite bluffing.
It's a pity that no one can solve his doubts.
Some people think he thinks too much.
Some people even suggested that he break the jade ball to take a look?!
He looked at the other person as if he were a fool.
If it's so simple, why would he look for an expert?
Doesn't he know how to knock jade balls himself?
Moreover, who can guarantee that if you smash the jade ball, you will definitely get the answer?
...
The jade ball cannot be damaged.
This is his bottom line.
This jade ball is the amulet that the old man has carried for most of his life.
It was given to him to keep him safe.
Naturally, he would not waste this feeling.
...
He was curious about what the two children were talking about about the sheep's braying.
What does it have to do with jade balls?
But this curiosity was not so strong that he would gamble on the possibility even if he destroyed the jade ball.
…
After meeting the so-called expert, he became more convinced of his initial understanding.
Any expert is a liar.
but……
Try again one last time.
he told himself.
He thought of the young man he met in Lao Cai's shop.
Later, when he thought about it carefully, he found that Lao Cai really valued that young man.
It's not a superficial courtesy.
He had a lot of dealings with Lao Cai.
Although it was all business and entertainment, it was enough for him to have a certain understanding of that guy.
He thought, Lao Cai is not confused...
That young man must have done something...
That's why that old fritter let down his posture like this.
He was a little annoyed that he didn't think of this at first.
But it's not too late.
He immediately contacted Lao Cai.
He said that he had something to ask the young master for help.
He was willing to apologize for his rudeness last time.
He didn't ask Lao Cai what the young man had done for him.
Since he hasn't heard -
The business community is very well-informed.
This shows that this is not something that can be widely publicized.
If he asked, Lao Cai wouldn't tell him.
Their relationship is not close enough for each other to be honest with each other.
Then why should he talk too much?
On the contrary, it made people unhappy and affected his appeal this time.
…
With a good attitude and suitable interests, Lao Cai agreed to be his matchmaker.
I don't know if this time... he can get the answer he wants.
There was some expectation in his heart again.
…
"That's probably what happened."
Boss Bai withdrew his gaze from the jade ball in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the young man opposite.
There was a bit of sharpness in his eyes.
"I wonder what Master Xiao... thinks about this?"
"...What else did you find?"
Having been disappointed so many times, he no longer had the patience to beat around the bush.
…
"Can you show me this jade ball?"
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
It seemed that he didn't feel the sharpness in Boss Bai's eyes at all.
…
Boss Bai stared at the young man for a while.
He admired the other party's calmness and ease.
I just hope it's not pretending.
…
He placed the jade ball on a box covered with velvet cushions.
Then he pushed the box in front of Master Xiao.
…
Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and glanced at the jade ball, then raised his eyes and asked, "Can I pick it up and look at it?"
Boss Bai hesitated for a while.
Although I feel a little unwilling to do so.
But he also knows that it is difficult to find problems without getting started and just looking at them.
He nodded.
"Can."
…
Xiao Xiao picked up the jade ball.
The tentacles are warm and moist.
Jade is smooth and clean.
Even if he doesn't understand jade, he can still see that this jade ball is worth a lot of money.
…
Xiao Xiao looked at the jade ball intently.
Where does the sound come from?
In other words, does the sound really come from this jade ball?
…
Xiao Xiao reached out and knocked on the jade ball.
Boss Bai opposite him looked tense.
He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he tightened his lips.
…
It seems to be just an ordinary jade ball...
Xiao Xiao looked thoughtful.
His fingertips rubbed the rotating jade ball.
Suddenly, his movements stopped.
sound!
He heard the sound he vaguely heard last time again.
…
He put the jade ball to his ear.
Xiao Xiao's actions made Boss Bai shake his head slightly.
He has done the same thing.
After all, he said he heard a strange sound.
However, nothing was gained.
Boss Bai's face showed a bit of disappointment.
Is that all there is to it?
…
There is no sound.
Xiao Xiao reached out and knocked on the jade ball again.
Just now……
Xiao Xiao, whose eyes lit up slightly, turned the jade ball upside down.
The range of motion is a bit large.
…
"Why?"
Boss Bai couldn't help but speak out this time.
"Master Xiao, what are you...?"
Okay, why are you spinning the jade ball?
He's not a kid anymore.
Boss Bai was puzzled.
I'm also a little worried about what if Master Xiao's hand slips and throws the jade ball out?
…
heard it.
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth turned up slightly.
The sound actually came from the jade ball.
…
"Master Xiao?"
When his question received no response, Boss Bai spoke up again.
"you……"
When he noticed the smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, he looked stunned and changed his words, "What did you find?"
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, "It's a bit of a discovery."
"What?!"
In his excitement, Boss Bai couldn't control his volume.
"Ahem~"
Boss Bai straightened his sitting posture.
How old are you?
Still so surprised...
…
"Master Xiao."
Boss Bai took a deep breath, "What did you find?"
For the first time, someone told him what he had discovered.
It was inevitable that he would behave a little bit glumly.
…
"The sound comes from the jade ball."
Boss Bai was stunned by Xiao Xiao's words.
