Alas, the master is still waiting for money for the surgery!
Qiao Meng held the bowl of Tianxue jade that the master regarded as the treasure of the store, and his heart was full of bitterness.
A few days ago, he had just sold his master Liu Xiazi's antique shop, but the hospitalization fee was still more than 300,000 yuan short. As a last resort, he had no choice but to come up with the idea of this jade bowl.
A masterpiece like this, which was used by the Ming Dynasty court, should fetch a good price, right?
Qiao Meng expected in his heart.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in front of him.
"Hey, this is Blind Liu's useless little grasshopper. Why, Blind Liu isn't dead yet!" The young man in charge is called Li Qiang, a well-known local gangster.
Qiao Meng's pupils shrank, knowing that he couldn't offend such a person, so he lowered his head and prepared to walk away.
But the Tianxue jade bowl in his arms caught Li Qiang's attention.
"stop!"
Before Qiao Meng could leave, Li Qiang stared at him playfully, looking straight at the field blood jade bowl, and sneered: "Oh, I didn't expect blind man Liu to have such a treasure, little grasshopper, I'll pay you two thousand yuan."
, this thing got me."
Qiao Meng looked slightly stunned, yelling secretly, his eyes flickering, and he pretended to be calm: "This thing belongs to my master, I have to ask him what he wants. If you want to buy it, ask my master another day!"
"Do you think I'm an idiot?"
Li Qiang grabbed Qiao Meng's collar and said fiercely: "This thing must be sold to me today, whether you sell it or not!"
"I won't sell you even if you kill me!"
"Er Gouzi was robbed by me! Damn it, you are so shameless!" Li Qiang threw Qiao fiercely, followed by the gangsters behind Li Qiang, surrounded him, and started grabbing.
No matter how much Qiao Meng resisted, he could not stop the arrogance of this group of people. Seeing that the thing was snatched away, Qiao Meng said urgently: "Li Qiang, this thing is not valuable, it is just a thought of my master, please.
Don’t do this!”
"It's worthless? You're lying to a three-year-old child! Stop, or I'll break your legs!"
Li Qiang snatched the Tian Xue Jade Bowl, a flash of greed flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Qiao Meng suddenly became violent, grabbed Li Qiang's hand, and smashed the jade bowl on Li Qiang's head!
Bang!
The jade bowl shattered at the sound!
Li Qiang's head was also hit with a trace of blood.
"court death!"
Li Qiang had a sullen face and said in a deep voice: "Crap his hand for me!"
A gangster got a hammer from nowhere, pointed it at Qiao Meng's palm, and with a look of despair in his eyes, he hit it with a hammer!
ah!
A shocking scream rang out, Qiao's whole body twitched, his fingers connected to his heart, and he almost fainted.
After Li Qiang deposed Qiao Meng, he spat at him and led the others away.
Qiao suddenly fell to the ground, his hands were shaking uncontrollably, his face was pale, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and a heartbreaking pain came from his fingers, making his whole body twitch.
"My jade bowl..."
Qiao Meng crawled past the broken jade bowl in despair.
There were fragments all over the floor. Qiao Meng had a painful expression on his face. He endured the pain in his heart and swept the pieces of the broken bowl into a pile.
His hands were covered with blood, and the corners of Qiao Meng's trembling mouth slowly touched it. At this moment, he wanted to go with the broken bowl.
The master's life-saving money was lost to him in this way. He had no shame to see the master, let alone save his old man.
A desperate thought that led to suicide appeared in Qiao Meng's mind. If he is so useless, what is the use of living?
Suddenly, when Qiao Meng's bright red blood dripped on the Tian Blood Jade Bowl, a strange scene happened.
A flash of blue light flashed above the jade bowl, and a warm current invaded Qiao Meng's palm. The palm, which was originally extremely painful, became extremely cool after the warm current passed by.
Qiao Meng was shocked to find that his bloody palms shone with a strange and dazzling light.
He closed his eyes subconsciously, but when he opened them again, he was stunned to find that his unrecognizable hands were just like this... okay?
How is it possible?
Qiao Meng stared blankly at his palms. The rough calluses before were gone, and they were as smooth and fair as a woman's palms!
What the hell is going on here?
Qiao pushed himself up and inadvertently touched the wall behind him with his big hand, and suddenly an even weirder scene happened.
Through the wall, he could actually see a few insects and ants digging holes in the inner wall. Such a strange sight immediately frightened Qiao and he quickly took his hand away.
What's puzzling is that when Qiao Meng's hand left the wall, the strange scene disappeared. After several struggles, Qiao Meng had the courage to put his hand on the wall.
As soon as his fingers touched the wall, he could see the condition of the inner wall again.
Qiao Meng was completely shocked, and a crazy idea came to his mind.
In order to verify his conjecture, Qiao Meng quickly went to the antique street and bought an imitation blue and white porcelain, and gently put his hand on it. The bottom of the blue and white porcelain was clearly printed with the four characters "Made in China".
With a bang, Qiao Meng smashed the blue and white porcelain, and sure enough, he found the fragment with the four characters "Made in China" printed on it at the bottom of the bottle, invisible to the naked eye!
Whoosh!
A flash of light burst out in Qiao Meng's eyes. His guess was right. The strangeness of the problem lay in the jade bowl, but that was not the focus of his attention.
The most important thing is that his hands actually have a magical function!
Qiao Meng was extremely excited. He touched the pendant on his chest and suddenly discovered that there was a jade inside the stone pendant...
Qiao Meng repeatedly confirmed that the existence of the jade could only be discovered when his thumb rubbed on the pendant, which meant that his thumb had awakened the ability to identify treasures!
Then I thought that Blind Liu was still lying in the hospital, and that valuable jade bowl had been broken into pieces and was worthless. What should I do now?
"Qiao Meng!"
Just when Qiao Meng was extremely worried, a clear and sweet female voice suddenly came from behind him.
Qiao Meng turned around and what caught his eye was Ge Yuling, the beautiful owner of the Jade Pavilion next door. She had a standard oval face and her hair was combed back into a smart ponytail. She was tall and beautiful. She was the star of the entire antique street.
Famous antique Xi Tzu.
"Sister Yuling..."
However, before Qiao Meng could speak, Ge Yuling blinked her beautiful eyes and interrupted him directly: "I heard that you sold the antique shop, why?"
Qiao Meng smiled bitterly and immediately explained the whole story to her.
After Ge Yuling learned the truth, she also sighed.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Yuling, can you lend me some money to advance my master's surgery fee?"
I thought that Ge Yuling would refuse a few words, but she didn't even think about it. She reached out and lifted a strand of hair from her forehead, and said with her pretty eyes: "What I'm saying is that I didn't know anything about the antique business at the time, but Master Liu taught me how to do it."
He has stolen a lot of things from me, and he is half my master. Now that something has happened to him, how can I stand by and watch? But now I only have 70,000 movable funds on hand, and they will be transferred to your account later."
Ge Yuling can be regarded as a rich and beautiful girl who loves antiques, but most of her money is invested in the curios in the store, so when she said she only had 70,000 yuan in working capital, she was definitely not lying to Qiao Meng.
Qiao Meng thanked her profusely, and after the money arrived, he quickly rushed to the hospital and paid Blind Liu's early medical expenses.
But the hospitalization fee is still nearly 300,000 yuan, so I have to find a way on my own.
Qiao Meng suddenly thought of the jade hidden in his pendant, but he still had doubts in his heart.
So he decided to go to the jade market and cut open the pendant to verify whether he really had the ability to identify treasures.
"Hey, Qiao Meng is here. Why don't you try your luck? I recently got a new batch of rough stones, which are of good quality. Can you have fun?"
As soon as Qiao Meng arrived at the Stone Betting Market, someone greeted him.
This is a jade shop owner who is familiar with Qiao Meng. Before Blind Man Liu was blind, he would occasionally come to his place to gamble on stones or something like that, but since his master became blind, he has never played again.
Qiao Meng, on the other hand, came over from time to time to take a look, but he rarely took action and was called an iron rooster by the jade boss.
Qiao Meng took off the pendant from his chest, handed it to Boss Zeng and said with a smile: "Boss Zeng, please help me cut this."
Boss Zeng narrowed his eyes, looked at Qiao Meng, and sneered: "Qiao Meng, you really treat tattered street stall goods as treasures? At first, I just made a few casual jokes, saying that your pendant is worth tens of thousands.
Are you so mad that you really believe it?"
It is true that Boss Zeng made fun of Qiao Meng's pendant, but everyone knows that he was joking. This small pendant looks like a street stall product, worthless, and it is absolutely impossible to sell any good products.
.
Qiao Meng was not angry and said with a smile: "Boss Zeng, someone entrusted me with a dream last night, saying that the pendant I wore was a family heirloom and contained a valuable jade. I am also desperate. The master is in urgent need of some medical expenses. I
So I reluctantly cut it open and planned to sell it for money."
Boss Zeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled silently, and said casually: "Qiao Meng, I'm not telling you, it's impossible to get jade out of this thing. Based on my more than 20 years of experience in stone gambling, I advise you.
Stop it, otherwise not only will the only memory left by your parents be gone, but you will also have to pay for the cutting costs, which is not worth the loss!"
Boss Zeng knew about Qiao Meng's life experience. He saw that Qiao Meng was usually down-to-earth and an honest person without the scheming of others, so he was willing to spend more words to persuade him.
Can you believe such nihilistic things as dreams?
The conversation between Qiao Meng and Boss Zeng attracted the attention of a middle-aged man who was picking gambling stones next to him.
The middle-aged man was a little curious and looked closely at the pendant in Qiao Meng's hand. Although he couldn't tell anything about it, he believed Qiao Meng's story about the strange dream.
Then the middle-aged man couldn't help but said: "Let me interrupt you two, if this little brother insists on cutting, you don't need to worry about the cutting cost. I will pay it in advance. No matter whether the jade is cut out or not, I will pay for it."
."
Both Qiao Meng and Boss Zeng looked at the middle-aged man in confusion, and the latter suddenly said: "Oh, let me introduce myself first. I am the owner of Yuxuan Store, Chen Shicheng."
Qiao Meng's expression moved slightly. Why would the owner of Yuxuan Store take the initiative to show his kindness to him? Could it be that he could see through this pendant at a glance?
However, this idea was quickly denied by him. Even his master Liu Xiazi's hands, which were called ghost claws, could not be found out after touching them several times. How could the Yuxuan shop owner see this with just his naked eyes?
come out?
Boss Zeng smiled and nodded: "That's good."
As he spoke, Boss Zeng winked at Qiao. The meaning was very clear. The victim who came to your door had taken advantage of you. The latter gave a wry smile and did not explain.
