C1112 Blood Jade
When the young man heard the shopkeeper's words, he could not help but lower his head in dejection. He stared at the embroidered box in his hands, as if he was in a dilemma as to whether he should sell it or not.
Faang Cheng walked over and looked at the things on the shelves.
Only then did the shopkeeper hear the arrival of a customer. He looked up at Faang Cheng and saw that he was dressed simply and didn't look like a rich person. Thus, he said a few words in a perfunctory manner.
"If you want to see something, then read it yourself. If you have anything you like, then I'll introduce it to you!"
His tone was casual, but it carried disdain.
Faang Cheng Si didn't care about the manager's attitude at all. He had seen too many people like this! He didn't even look at the shopkeeper as he continued to look at the items on the Bogu shelf!
When the young man saw that there were customers in the store, the shopkeeper was too busy to care about him, so he picked up his things and walked out of the store in embarrassment. However, Little Bin and Niu Niu was squatting at the door playing with the toy Faang Cheng had just bought for them. The absent-minded young man tripped over the wooden toy without even seeing it. He then fell towards the ground. Faang Cheng quickly stepped forward and pulled the young man. His fingers accidentally slid across the embroidered box in the young man's hand. A familiar burning sensation slightly stunned Faang Cheng. This feeling … It was very similar to the feeling when his hand was first cut. However, because his body was filled with spirit energy, he did not touch the jade. Just touching the jade box caused him to feel a scorching heat!
"Thank you, brother!"
After the young man steadied himself, he hurried to thank Faang Cheng. Seeing Faang Cheng standing there without saying anything, he hesitated to leave. After waiting for a long time, he didn't see Faang Cheng say anything. He just looked at his hand in confusion, but the young man couldn't help but go up and push him.
"Brother, you... Are you alright? "
"Huh?"
Faang Cheng finally came back to his senses after hearing what the young man said.
"Ah, nothing!"
Faang Cheng shook his head. He withdrew his gaze from his hand and looked at the young man in front of him.
"Thank you for helping me earlier!"
The young man thanked him again, then turned around and walked out of the store.
"Hey, wait a moment!"
Faang Cheng hurriedly called out to the young man when he saw that he was about to leave.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else, brother? "
The young man was stunned, he turned around and looked at Faang Cheng in confusion. Faang Cheng's gaze fell on the embroidered box in his hand.
"Did I just hear that you want to sell the jade in your hands?"
Hearing Faang Cheng's question, the young man realized that this brother in front of him seemed to be interested in his jade. He quickly nodded and took out the embroidered box.
"Yes, yes, yes!" This is the jade my ancestor passed on to me, it really is a treasure, even though... I can't say what treasure it is, but I definitely am not lying, it's really a treasure! "
The young man tried his best to sell Faang Cheng his jade. Faang Cheng, on the other hand, couldn't help but be confused as he looked at the embroidered box in his hand.
"Since it is an ancestral treasure, why are you selling it?"
He looked at the young man. If he did something bad, he would really consider buying it! After hearing Faang Cheng's question, the light in the young man's eyes dimmed!
"I want to save my nephew!"
he said firmly.
"My brother and sister-in-law had a child two years ago. Our whole family is extremely happy, but … He hadn't even been happy for two months when the child was discovered to have a natural heart ailment! It's very serious. The doctor said to take medicine all year round to keep the child alive, if not … He would probably die after recuperating for two to three years! My family used to be considered a big family, but because my grandfather got addicted to gambling, he lost all his family property! When we brothers, we only have two treasures that Grandmother protected with all she had. One was a golden bowl, and the other was this piece of jade. The money her brother got from selling the golden bowls had already been used up by her nephew's illness. Now, her only hope … It is the piece of jade in my hand, this is … This is the money my nephew saved! "
As the young man spoke, his voice was already choked with sobs.
Faang Cheng looked at his clear eyes which were filled with anxiety and worry. He intuitively felt that Ye Mo was not a swindler, so he went up to look at the box and directly opened his mouth.
"This piece of jade... How much are you planning to sell it for? "
"This …"
When the young man heard Faang Cheng's question, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
"I …" I want to sell it for one gold ingot! "
"Tsk, this is crazy!"
Before Faang Cheng could react, the shopkeeper behind him already spoke, his tone full of mockery and contempt.
"Only a crazy person would spend a gold ingot to buy your crappy stone!"
Hearing his words, the young man's grip on the embroidered box tightened, and his head … He buried it even lower!
"Two gold!"
Faang Cheng waved two of his fingers in front of the young man.
"What?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Faang Cheng meant.
"I will buy the jade in your hand with two gold ingots!"
Faang Cheng repeated himself, but as soon as he said it, not only were the young man and the shopkeeper stunned, even Wen Liang, who was playing with Niu Niu and Little Bin behind Faang Cheng, was displeased.
"Big Brother Faang, two gold coins for a piece of jade? You … "You …"
Wen Liang wanted to say whether or not he had gone crazy, but he couldn't get any words out of his mouth even after a long time of 'you'. Faang Cheng patted his shoulder to signal him to be patient.
"Are you crazy?"
Wen Liang didn't say it out loud, but the storekeeper did.
"Two ingots of gold for that broken piece of jade? Two gold ingots can buy the best Ying jade in the water head! "
The shopkeeper looked at Faang Cheng like he was an idiot.
"I naturally have my own reasons for paying two gold ingots for it! "You don't have to worry about that. I'm not an idiot, so I won't let myself suffer any losses. However, I definitely won't deduct your money to save my life. So, I'm going to ask you something. Do you want to sell it?"
Faang Cheng ignored the shopkeeper and asked while looking at the young man.
"Sell it!" I'll sell it! "
The young man nodded as he heard this.
"Two gold ingots, enough for my nephew to eat for a long time!"
His tone was filled with excitement. One could tell that this was a kind-hearted person. He was truly worried for his brother's family's child. He was truly pampering his nephew!
Seeing that he agreed, Faang Cheng turned to Wen Liang and signaled for him to give him two gold coins.
"Big Brother Faang …"
Wen Liang held the purse with some hesitation.
"Wen Liang!"0
Faang Cheng's expression slightly calmed down. Wen Liang saw that there was nothing he could do, so he could only take out two gold coins from his purse and put it in Faang Cheng's hand!
"Here!" "Here are two gold ingots, we have already paid it off!"
Faang Cheng placed two gold ingots in front of the young man.
When the young man saw the two gold ingots, he could not help but open his eyes in surprise. He looked at the gold in Faang Cheng's hand, but didn't extend his hand to receive it. Instead, he nervously took a step back. Seeing this, Faang Cheng reached out his hand to pull the young man's hand up and then placed the gold on the young man's hand. Even the manager behind him revealed a greedy gaze. He stared at the two gold ingots in the young man's hands without blinking. Finally … His gaze fell on the purse in Wen Liang's hand …
"You … You pay without even looking at anything, are you still … Let's inspect the goods! It's always good to have a look! "
The young man handed the embroidered box to Faang Cheng. He was a bit worried that Faang Cheng would not even look at anything. What if he was the bad guy? It was very rare for him to worry about being a bad person.
"Good!" Then I'll take a look! "
Faang Cheng nodded and took the embroidered box from the young man. He opened the box directly and a milky white jade stone quietly appeared in the center of the box.
"Hmph …" To be able to buy two gold taels from such a crappy object, I must be blind … "
The shopkeeper's tone was full of schadenfreude.
Faang Cheng ignored his words and sat down on a chair in the store. Then, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it hard on the jade. Gradually, Faang Cheng realized that this so-called "creamy white" was not the tissue of the jade, but a kind of oil film.
Gradually, the milky white paste tissue on the jade seemed to be getting smaller and smaller. The color of the ground inside the jade gradually revealed itself, and it seemed that … Red. Faang Cheng was surprised to find that the color inside the jade was red.
As the milky white layer of oil became lighter and lighter, the bright red color of the jade became more and more obvious. At the end of rubbing, the entire jade was actually bright red like fresh blood …
"This …"
Faang Cheng couldn't help but be suspicious when he saw the color of the jade being so red. The color of the jade was bright red. There were too few situations like this. Faang Cheng suddenly thought of a type of jade …
"Blood …"
"This... This is the blood jade! "
Before Faang Cheng could say anything, he heard the shopkeeper behind him say something.
"Blood jade?"
The shopkeeper seemed to not dare to believe it as his face was filled with surprise. This was because blood jade was truly too rare in their world.
Faang Cheng picked up the blood-red jade and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, this was an excellent piece of blood jade. Its red color was not because the entire piece of jade was red, but because the inside of the jade was densely packed with red filaments, like cotton wool.
"Indeed, there is a top-grade blood jade inside."
Faang Cheng nodded and confirmed that there was a blood jade hidden inside this creamy white jade.
"Two gold taels …" Buying such a blood jade is worth it! "
Faang Cheng smiled at the young man. After hearing Faang Cheng's words, the young man looked at the gold ingot in his hand and felt that it was only right that he should take the gold ingot!
"That... Young man, this blood jade … Do you sell it? "
The shopkeeper's voice suddenly sounded. The young man looked at the shopkeeper who looked down on him with a complicated gaze, while Faang Cheng … He then slowly turned his gaze towards the snobbish and realistic shopkeeper.
