"Hmm! It's risen again?" Mr. Xue narrowed his eyes and came forward to water and wash the cut surface. Sure enough, he saw a faint green color in the white mist, and he became excited.
Tsk! Xu Qing's technique of uncutting stones became more and more proficient, and each cut was just right. In less than an hour, a piece of gold-threaded jadeite with excellent water quality was completely taken out.
This piece of jadeite weighed at least two kilograms, and it was quite heavy in his hand. Mr. Xue looked at the jadeite, and then glanced at the woolen materials in the basement thoughtfully, and his expression slowly became serious.
"Qingzi, most of the wool you have here contains jade, right?"
Mr. Xue finally thought of a fact that he was extremely unwilling to admit. The probability of extracting jade from the wool that this boy chose was ridiculously high, at least 90%. Thinking of all the past events, Mr. Xue decided in his heart that all this was not just relying on
Luck is so simple.
Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said seriously: "Teacher, do you believe there are supernatural powers in this world?"
Mr. Xue was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "The world is so vast that it contains many wonders. Just because something cannot be explained by common sense does not mean it does not exist."
Xu Qing touched the jade in his hand and whispered: "Actually, my eyes have some special abilities, such as being able to see through wool."
"What?" Mr. Xue couldn't believe his ears. His old eyes were staring at Xu Qing's cheek, as if he had seen a monster.
Xu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "You are my most respected teacher, and I don't want to hide it from you. When I was in Tengchong, I could see through the inside of about 50 centimeters of wool, and it was clear at a glance whether there was jade in it. The reason why I chose to practice martial arts was because I wanted to have something personal.
It’s just the ability to protect it.”
The expression on Mr. Xue's face suddenly became exciting, including excitement, surprise, relief... and finally it all merged into a deep smile.
"Good boy, you really gave me a big surprise this time! Fortunately, I don't have a heart disease or anything." Mr. Xue stepped forward and patted Xu Qing on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "How much more can be done about this matter?"
Does anyone know?"
"I'll tell you one thing. I discovered it by chance. After I came back from Tengchong, I felt scared just thinking about it because this ability is so unbelievable." Xu Qing answered honestly.
Mr. Xue said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the old man deserves your trust." Xu Qing said with relief: "Actually, it's uncomfortable to keep this secret in my heart, but it feels better to tell it."
"Let's go, let me try your nanny's skills tonight, and watch you carve objects after dinner."
The master and apprentice came out of the basement and entered the house. Fatty's ears perked up and he rushed over with a whistle. Xu Qing bent down and picked up the pet dog, reaching out and gently stroking its big furry head.
Qin Bing stood up and left her seat on the sofa, smiling and saying: "Teacher Xue is here, please take a seat." She still respected Xu Qing's two masters.
Mr. Xue said hello with a smile, walked to the sofa and sat down. Xu Qing ran to make tea diligently. After rummaging around for a while, he couldn't even find the tea leaves. Thanks to Mrs. Zeng who came to help, he made a good pot of tea.
.
Soon Sister-in-law Zeng prepared a table of food, and Xu Qing went to open a bottle of good wine and have two drinks with Mr. Xue.
During the dinner, Qin Bing asked about his experience in Macau. Xu Qing smiled and took out the gambling king badge from his pocket and put it on the table.
Han Xue, with quick eyes and quick hands, picked it up and brought it to her eyes to take a look, and exclaimed excitedly: "Wow! Southeast Asia Gambling King Badge! Is this a souvenir?"
"Hey! Why is there your name on the back..."
Xu Qing took a sip of wine and said, "It's very simple, because I am the gambling king of Southeast Asia."
"Tch! Just brag. This is how you pay back the gambling king. You bought it for five yuan from a roadside stall." Han Xue curled her lips in disdain and threw the badge on the table.
Qin Bing took the badge and took a look at it, then threw it on the table and said: "It's made of steel, it's heavy." Mr. Xue was also a little curious, stretched out his hand to grab the badge, looked at it, glanced at Xu Qing meaningfully and said
: "Platinum Gambling King Badge, did you make a lot of money from your trip to Macau?"
Xu Qing gave a thumbs up and said: "The teacher is still very knowledgeable. I actually didn't make much money when I went to Macau this time. It is possible to open a jewelry and jade shop."
In fact, the prize money from the Gambling King Competition has already gone into Zhu Xiaoling's pocket. The 20 million euros were paid by Gao Shun. Plus the winnings from the casino, the total amount is tens of millions, which is more than enough to open a jewelry store.
Mr. Xue put the badge on the table and said sternly: "It's a small gambling pleasure, but you must not indulge in it."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "㊣(4) I originally just wanted to experience the atmosphere of the casino, but I didn't expect that I became the king of gambling out of nowhere. Playing cards is too tiring, so it's better to gamble on stones."
The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing. The little secret they knew together gave them a certain tacit understanding.
After dinner, Zeng's sister-in-law helped Mr. Xue tidy up a guest room. The master and apprentice studied the jade-cutting skills. Xu Qing took out two pieces of mutton-fat white jade and gave them to the teacher as if they were offering treasures. Good disciples all get beautiful jade.
Mr. Xue smiled from ear to ear and praised Xu Qing for his filial piety.
The next day, the two masters and apprentices spent the whole day carving jade in the room. After dinner, Xu Qing received a call from Ren Bing. This guy also found out the source of the threatening letter, but it was a step too late.
Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is blowing, it is destined to be an unrestful night. The gloomy clouds in the sky of Jiangcheng are pierced by a blazing lightning. In an instant, thunder rumbles and a storm brews in the thunder.
The master and apprentice were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Xu Qing noticed that Mr. Xue's face was solemn, and he knew that the old man was worried about his son's safety.
"Teacher, why don't I go out and take a look, maybe I can help." Xu Qing tightened the leather sheath on her waist and wanted to get up.
Mr. Xue waved his hand and said: "Wait until the siren sounds before going, it's not the time yet..."
Boom! A crisp gunshot pierced the tranquility of the night sky. Xu Qing jumped up from the sand, bent down and ran towards the ajar door, looking like a vigorous civet cat.
"Pay attention to safety!" Mr. Xue's voice came from behind, drifting in the wind.
After leaving the door, Xu Qing poured Yang Qi into the soles of his feet, and a few of them flew outside the wall of Villa No. 6. The lights inside were bright, and there were faint sounds of people, and they looked through the wall and had a panoramic view of the scene inside.
Six guys with black hoods were surrounded by more than a dozen military uniforms holding steel guns. They were squatting on the spot holding their heads. There was also a guy with a black hood lying on his back on the ground. A large amount of blood oozed from his chest.
He was so dead that through the other person's mask, Xu Qing saw clearly the face of the deceased. It was Fu Donglai whom he had met yesterday at the tea restaurant. He was still holding a pistol tightly in his hand, but unfortunately his fingers were stiff.
