Chapter 163 Worshiping the Mountain
Chapter 163 Worshiping the Mountain
A piece of stone, its pattern and color observed under a searchlight, the moment of placing a bet (tie), the adrenaline is secreted rapidly. This is a game of human nature where courage and greed coexist.
When the sharp blade is wedged into it and cuts it in half, maybe one cut will make you a god, maybe one cut will make you a devil. Before the cut is made, no one can be sure of the outcome.
It was the first time that Su Ze experienced the thrill of cutting stone. Everyone gathered together, and from the moment the blade touched the stone skin, everyone held their breath, waiting for the strange color that would appear after it was opened.
In the backyard of the shop, the crowd had already cut the stones brought by two customers. The successful one felt like he was in heaven, with a group of people gathered around him cheering, while the unsuccessful one felt like he had fallen into hell, sitting on the ground limply, because the stones he bought with a lot of money ended up bankrupting him.
The girl walked up to a middle-aged man and said, "Dad, these two guys, they also have a batch of goods they want to sell."
The middle-aged people are used to this: "Take it out and let's see it."
A Zuo put down the snakeskin bag and placed the six stones inside on the ground. They were not very big. Everyone looked at them and then glanced at the two young men.
I'm afraid that this is some young and ignorant guy who got cheated.
The middle-aged man asked, "Did you buy this yourself? The pattern isn't very good."
Su Ze shook his head: "It can be considered as a find. You can cut it open and see if it can be opened. It would be the best, but it doesn't matter if it can't be opened."
"Oh, if you picked it up yourself, it doesn't matter. You can just try your luck."
Su Ze thought the same way. In fact, he didn't care whether he could get good food. If he could exchange it for living expenses, that would be the best. If not, they would just sell two sheep to live on for a while.
The middle-aged man usually used a searchlight to shine it first. Three of the six pieces were very thick and opaque, so they knew there was no hope at first glance, but the remaining three pieces were difficult to distinguish.
First cut the three opaque pieces. With one cut, the core of the stone turned out to be grayish white. All three pieces were ordinary Gobi stones. Then cut the remaining three pieces.
The fourth piece, when cut diagonally with a knife, was not jade, but stone.
The fifth piece was a little bigger. The knife entered the stone skin and it didn't take long for the middle-aged man to feel the strength of his hands. He had an idea and shook his head with a sigh.
Su Ze's heart suddenly dropped when he opened it and saw that it was indeed a stone.
The middle-aged man joked: "Young man, in recent years, countless people have gone to the mountains to look for seed materials. These are all cut one by one, so you should practice your eyesight more in the future."
The girl consoled him: "It's okay. There are fewer and fewer good seeds now. If you go to pick them up yourself, the loss will not be great."
"I'm not too disappointed. If I can cut it out, I can earn some living expenses. If I can't cut it out, forget it. It's hard to carry it around."
Su Ze looked at the last piece. The stone was neither big nor small, with a white surface and the shape of a cloud. It seemed that Sangye had given it to him, and he picked it up because it looked like a cloud.
The boss only cut a small part of the last piece and cut it extremely quickly. Even he felt that the feeling was a little strange. His heart suddenly tightened and he concentrated and held his breath.
Su Ze and A Zuo were looking through the remaining local specialties in the snakeskin bag when suddenly exclamations were heard all around them.
Looking up, I saw that the cut part of the cloud stone revealed a layer of delicate, warm, and pure white jade.
Su Ze's pupils trembled. Damn! It really opened!
The scene was in an uproar. With this cut, the million was secure.
The boss said excitedly: "I will cut it in a few more directions for you, remove the stone skin, and check the quality and whether there are any impurities. If there are no impurities, your stone will be worth at least seven figures."
Su Ze was not stingy and directly asked the boss to help him cut it. Since it was for the purpose of selling it, of course the taller the better.
The parts cut in four directions were all oily and milky white in color. The boss said on the spot that he would help him find a buyer immediately.
Su Ze's heart was floating, and he felt like he was walking on cotton. He was rich! He was rich! He was also a wealthy man who had suddenly become rich!
But halfway through the business discussion, Su Ze discovered a problem: he and A Zuo had no ID cards, not even bank cards. Of course, compared to the success of the business, these were trivial matters.
The boss called three buyers and asked Su Ze and the others to step aside for the time being. The young sellers were afraid that the old hands would lower the price, so they all thought that the deal was a done deal.
After the buyers looked at the goods, they began to take turns bidding. The boss and his clerk stayed in the hall to watch the situation.
I thought that the three were old customers and that the deal could be negotiated even if it didn't go smoothly. However, no one expected that one of them would suddenly try to snatch the goods after the third round of bidding.
He even injured the boss and the customer who tried to stop him. The boss was knocked into a corner, struggled to get up, and yelled at the man who ran out: "Boss Wang, that's not yours, you broke the rules! Call the police! Call 011! Someone! Someone come quickly! The things have been stolen!"
Boss Wang was extremely strong and his beatings were painful. He would not listen to anyone's advice and would just snatch things and run away.
Su Ze and A Zuo heard the shouting in the backyard and immediately rushed to the front hall, only to see five or six adults in the store. The boss had a bruise on his head and pointed at the door and shouted, "He stole your things, chase him! A Qiang, call 011! Call 011!"
A Zuo's eyes narrowed and became sharp, and he immediately chased after him. Su Ze jumped out of the store and saw a guy holding a stone running forward not far ahead.
Su Ze yelled, "Stealing! Someone is stealing!"
The two men were chasing and shouting. The man ran very fast and covered a distance of a hundred meters almost instantly. Even when he was being chased, he did not panic at all. The distance between the two sides was quickly widened.
A Zuo noticed something was wrong: "His speed is not like that of a human!"
Su Ze chased after them breathlessly: "Zuo, go, go after them, and get our stone back!"
The sky was still gray, and the early morning with few people was perfect for fitness. There were already some elderly people taking a walk on the road.
On the road, two extremely fast figures were seen chasing each other, one in front and one behind, neither giving way to the other.
Even though Su Ze couldn't run, he could only clench his fists and run after them. Seeing the two people in front of him turn right and enter the park, Su Ze thought to himself that this was not good. If he went to a crowded place, he would not be able to catch up and his things would be lost.
He gritted his teeth and dragged his uncontrollable legs to chase after him. Not long after he turned the corner, he saw Zuo blocked in the middle of the road by a group of people.
Su Ze rushed over and grabbed the other's arm breathlessly: "F-F-, what's going on?"
Ah Zuo murmured, "It's Ye Jue."
Su Ze looked up and saw a woman with big wavy hair, wearing a leopard print dress and delicate makeup, stepping on the man who was trying to steal their stone with her high heels. Behind the woman was a group of Night Lords.
"Wang Xingfa, are you bullying the newbie?"
The man was not annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled playfully at the woman: "Sister Yun, Sister Yun, I'm kidding."
"Are you kidding? You're stealing things on my territory?" The woman narrowed her eyes dangerously.
The man immediately begged for mercy: "Sister Yun, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again!"
Su Ze immediately understood that this Sister Yun should be the boss of this area. He couldn't feel her level. A Zuo whispered to him: "B-level, very powerful."
Liu Yun heard their whispers and smiled brightly: "Brother, you are quite knowledgeable."
After saying that, she looked up and down at Zuo, and seeing Zuo's well-trained body, her eyes lit up, she lowered her voice slightly, played with her hair, and asked in a coquettish manner, "Handsome boy, where are you from?"
