Everyone looked at Qin Yu like a prodigal, feeding jade to his pets. This was even more prodigal and crazy than those Eight Banners disciples who walked birds and fought dogs.
Qin Yu felt a little embarrassed to be looked at by everyone, and then he cast his gaze on the ink jade, looking at several places with obvious tooth marks on the ink jade, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, saying that he
No one believes him now.
Mo Yu, that was a top-grade jadeite worth hundreds of millions, and just one third of it was bitten off by Xiaojiu. This was not raising a pet, it was clearly raising a money-burning machine.
"No wonder Qin Yu didn't know what kind of jade you wanted to buy earlier. You bought the jade to feed the little snow-white beast just now, right?"
Zhuang Rui was the quickest to react. He and Qin Yu had a common characteristic. They also had several animal friends. Therefore, Zhuang Rui was the best able to understand Qin Yu's prodigal behavior.
Even Zhuang Rui himself is a representative of a prodigal son in the eyes of some people. He spent hundreds of millions to build a manor for a few animals in his family. This made many people in the circle unable to understand and secretly mocked him as a prodigal son.
"Well, Xiao Jiu does eat all kinds of jade, but the purer and top-quality jade is, the more he likes it. Therefore, I am not sure what kind of jade should be bought for him as a ration."
Qin Yu nodded. This was his recent headache. Judging from Xiao Jiu's appearance, he would definitely like the jade without impurities, but that kind of jade was almost astronomically expensive. How could he eat it often? But Qin Yu also
I don’t want to wrong Xiaojiu, so after all, it’s still because I don’t have enough money.
However, what Qin Yu didn't know was that after Xiao Jiu swallowed the black jade and crawled back into his collar, the hair on the surface of Xiao Jiu's body began to show a faint fluorescence, and his size began to slowly grow at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
.
"Qin Yu, actually I think you don't need to worry about it at all. Just like us humans, although we like to eat delicious and refined foods, eating whole grains is the most beneficial to our health, so I think you
You can feed Xiaojiu ordinary jade at ordinary times, and then give him some jade with higher purity every now and then, just like a big meal once in a while."
Zhuang Rui, the person present, was the first to digest the fact that Xiao Jiu could swallow jade, and was also the first to make suggestions to Qin Yu. The remaining three have not yet recovered from the shock.
"Also, little jade-eating beast, I seem to know a little bit about the origin of this little snow-white beast of yours."
Zhuang Rui's last words made Qin Yu shocked. He checked a lot of information about Xiao Jiu's origin, but unfortunately there was no useful clue. Qin Yu even asked Mr. Bao around the corner.
Mr. Fan, but the two old men also said that they had never heard of a small beast that could eat jade.
Now when he heard Zhuang Rui say that he knew Xiaojiu's origin, how could he not make Qin Yu ecstatic? He immediately asked: "Brother Zhuang, please tell me."
"Qin Yu, don't worry, let's go in first and talk. The sun will hit here soon." Li Weijun interrupted Qin Yu's words. They were now in the open air field in the backyard. The hot sun was shining at this time.
It was already sloping to the top of the eaves, and it would be exposed to the sun soon, so Li Weijun spoke.
When Li Weijun said this, Qin Yu and others did feel the surrounding temperature rise, so they followed Li Weijun into the hall. Naturally, a nanny made tea for them. They were on the sofa, and Qin Yu looked at Zhuang Rui.
, waiting for Zhuang Rui’s answer.
"Actually, I have read about it in an ancient book before. This book was written by a scholar in the Ming Dynasty. However, this scholar did not love fame and only liked to be with the animals in the mountains and forests. In our current words,
He is an animal protector."
"This scholar wrote an autobiography, which recorded all the animals, birds and beasts he had ever seen, and even many of them were extinct. There was an animal that liked to eat jade mentioned above."
It turned out that the scholar built a thatched hut next to a famous temple in a deep mountain. He talked about Buddhism and Zen with the monks during the day, and also raised a few squirrels and birds, and his life was happy.
However, one day, when the scholar came back from the temple, he found a hole in the wooden door of his hut. The scholar's first reaction was that it had been robbed. There was nothing in his hut, except for a family heirloom jade pendant left by his old mother.
It was an ancient jade of excellent quality and purity. The scholar had always worn it on his body, but today he forgot to take it off from his old clothes after taking a bath.
Thinking of this, the scholar hurriedly opened the door, only to see a scene that stunned him. An animal with white hair was lying on his bed, holding on to the jade pendant left by his old mother in its two paws.
Chewing it in your mouth.
When this little cat-like animal saw him coming in, it just glanced at him casually, and then continued to chew the jade pendant in front of it, without any worry about being caught eating it.
The scholar was really angry at first, but when he walked up to the snow-white animal, the anger in his heart disappeared inexplicably. Instead, he touched the snow-white kitten's hair and watched it eat with interest.
.
The snow-white kitten did not resist the scholar's touch. After eating the entire jade pendant, it rolled over on the bed with satisfaction, revealing its tender white belly.
However, the scholar discovered that there was a striking scar on the snow-white kitten's belly, just like the scar left after a knife cut open the belly. Fortunately, it was now a scar.
When the scholar saw this scar, he fell in love with this little cat-like snow-white beast. He knew that little beasts like to eat jade, so he went to buy dozens of jade pieces. At that time, jade was not as expensive as it is now.
With his fame and status and his family's savings, the scholar could afford jade.
So, the little snow-white beast took up residence in the scholar's hut. One person and one beast lived comfortably. The little snow-white beast stayed with the scholar for three months.
One morning three months later, the scholar was about to go out to feed the squirrels as usual, but suddenly found that the snow-white beast, which had always been lazy, suddenly became energetic. Then, the scholar did not give the scholar time to react.
, jumped on top of the scholar's head, peed, and shouted at the scholar twice. His whole body was like a leopard, and he rushed out of the hut and disappeared in the sea of clouds on the top of the mountain in an instant.
Since then, the scholar has never seen the little snow-white beast again, but the scholar discovered a detail. The urine of the snow-white beast above his head was actually absorbed into his body in just a few moments.
Within the scalp, he has never been sick since then. People say that there are ghosts in the mountains, but he has never encountered one since then. He has traveled all over the country in his life, and he has never encountered a ghost incident. Seriously.
Unbelievable.
Zhuang Rui looked at Qin Yu, his eyes fell on Qin Yu's heart, and said slowly: "The scholar later lived to be one hundred and thirty-five years old. Three days before his death, the scholar wrote in his notes
The last paragraph:
Throughout my life, I will not be invaded by ghosts, evil spirits, and diseases will subside. I had never realized this clearly before, but now that my life is at the end, I suddenly realized that everything I have is thanks to the little beasts of that day. The excretion of the little beasts actually has
It has the effect of suppressing evil, curing diseases, and longevity. It is a pity that I am about to die and cannot see you again. This is a regret in my life. I will still remember that day when I left..."
Qin Yu naturally understood the scholar's last words, and it was because of understanding that Qin Yu believed that the snow-white beast and Xiao Jiu were definitely of the same kind, because Xiao Jiu's urine also had magical effects.
Let Mo Yongxin's mother peel off her skin and be reborn from a stiff state, which can be regarded as a rebirth of a dead tree.
"Brother Zhuang, how old was the little snow-white beast that the scholar met?"
Qin Yu had a bold guess in his mind. Maybe the little snow-white beast that the scholar encountered was an ancestor of Xiao Jiu, because the number of Xiao Jiu's species must be very rare, otherwise it would be impossible not to leave any trace in history.
Xia Hong Ni Snow Claw.
"According to the description in the scholar's biography, the snow-white beast is about the size of an adult cat." Zhuang Rui replied.
After receiving Zhuang Rui's answer, Qin Yu became more convinced of his guess. However, this matter was too difficult to confirm. It was already a matter of the Ming Dynasty, and the snow-white beast never appeared again after leaving the scholar.
, and can't find any trace.
Putting aside the matter about Xiao Jiu, Qin Yu now began to think about Mo Cui. This Mo Cui is the treasure that Feng Shui masters dream of, especially this top-grade Mo Cui. Qin Yu has learned carving and carved a Zhong Kui by himself.
thoughts.
"Um...Qin Yu, we made an agreement before."
Zhuang Rui saw Qin Yu's gaze always falling on Mo Cui, flashing with fascination, and couldn't help but remind Qin Yu softly what he had said before.
Hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Qin Yu wanted to slap himself twice. Forget about this 10% of Mo Cui, why should he pretend to be generous and give away 20%? I don't know if this kind of top Mo Cui will be available in this life.
Can I touch the second piece? It would be heartbreaking to lose even a small amount of such a precious thing, not to mention once it is finished.
In addition, the prodigal Xiao Jiu ate another third. Qin Yu looked at the statue of Zhong Kui that could have been placed on the cabinet for worship, but now it could only be turned into a small jade pendant worn on his body, and he felt regretful.
"Haha, Qin Yu, don't be reluctant to give up. Aren't you going to find food for Xiaojiu? When the time comes, I will ask my carving factory to carve a thousand jade beads for you and send them to you."
Although the price of a thousand jade beads is definitely not 20% as much as the ink jade statue in Qin Yu's hand, it saves Qin Yu's time. If Qin Yu can get it by himself, it will take time to find raw materials and find carvings.
Factory engraving takes time and is not something that can be done in a day or two.
"Qin Yu, have you ever thought about selling this jadeite? If you are willing, I can buy your jadeite for 500 million, and I will also give you a pair of imperial green glass jade bracelets as an extra.
"
Zhuang Rui offered this condition that moved Li Weijun on the side, and then he shook his head bitterly. To be honest, Li Weijun also thought about buying the Mo Cui statue in Qin Yu's hands. He could afford it for 500 million, but he had to ask him
Looking for a pair of imperial green glass jade bracelets, he can't find them.
Li Weijun looked at Zhuang Rui with admiration on his face. Looking at the whole country, he was probably the only one in front of him who could be so generous and casually give away a glass imperial green jade bracelet. (To be continued)
