Chapter 635: Xida's Good Luck: A Ruby the Size of Half an Egg
But Suo suddenly became anxious and winked at Qiao Jianer, asking her to hide on the hillside behind.
Otherwise, how could she, a woman, deal with these gangsters, and he would not be able to protect her.
Qiao Lian'er was holding the cut stones in her hands. She seemed not to see Dan Suo's eyes and still walked forward.
The hooligans stared at the stone in her arms, stretched their necks and swallowed their saliva.
I’m afraid one piece can build a yard.
Dan Suo quickly stopped Qiao Jian'er and said, "Miss Shui, please leave quickly. They are all obsessed with these stones and have bad intentions. I will deal with them."
Qiao Jianer had a wry smile on his face and shook his head: "Sorry, Dan Suo, I was mistaken. There is nothing inside these stones when they are cut open."
As she spoke, she opened the stones, and sure enough, they were just ordinary stones, with only a little green inside, and nothing could be extracted at all.
Those hooligans who stretched their necks all made disappointed sounds, with disgust on their faces, and looked at Qiao Jianer with mocking eyes.
"I thought the guy who showed the stones to the caravan was so powerful, but none of the three stones were valuable. He has no skills at all and is even worse than us."
"Boss Zuo's caravan is going to be in big trouble. They're going to lose a lot of money on this batch of goods. Hahahaha."
One person laughed, and the others followed suit.
"Dan Suo, I don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky, so we won't bother you. Just hold on to these broken stones and make a fortune."
They left without any interest.
But Suo was also a little stunned. He didn't expect that nothing would come out of the several stones he opened.
It wasn't that he longed for wealth, if it wasn't up to the Water Girl's standards.
Qiao Jianer knew what they were talking about without any translation.
"Dansuo, come with me." Qiao Jianer prepared to take Dansuo to a hillside.
But Pei Shijiu in the space could not tolerate it.
He fired a few stones, hitting the men's heels.
Those hooligans were walking on a steep slope. They were hit unexpectedly and lost their balance and fell down. They screamed one after another.
The hillside was littered with large and small rocks. When they stopped, two people fainted on the spot, and the others covered their legs and feet, hugged their shoulders, and screamed miserably.
Looking at this situation, Qiao Jianer curled the corners of his mouth.
It seems that Pei Shijiu can play a greater role in space.
After turning to the hillside, Qiao Jianer took out a few things from his sleeve and handed them to Dan Suo.
"This is what I got. I estimate it can be exchanged for a little over ten taels, enough for you two brothers and sisters to build a bigger house."
But Suo looked at the emerald green, hesitated, and did not reach out to take it, but his eyes were already filled with tears.
Finally, he retracted his hand: "Miss Shui, this is the treasure you chose, and you opened it. I just helped you pick up the stone. It should belong to you."
"These ten taels are useless to me, but they are very useful to you. There are so many people on the hillside, I can't pick them up even if I want to go in. What's yours is yours."
Dan Suo then took it with both hands and bowed properly to Qiao Jianer.
"Miss Shui, thank you. Your arrival is a blessing to my sister and me."
In order to avoid any further complications, Dan Suo quickly took the loose stones and exchanged them for silver.
There was originally a local currency here, but with the increase in the number of foreign merchants and transactions with foreign countries, silver, which is commonly used all over the world, replaced the local currency and became the mainstream in daily life.
But the shuttle was exchanged for a total of twelve taels.
With so much silver, we can build a spacious house and leave two guest rooms, so that it will be more convenient for Shui Girl and her friends to come to Kachin in the future.
Although there are residences up there, they are still somewhat restrictive and have many rules.
At this time, they arrived at Xida, three mountains away. They looked at the sun sliding towards the west, and walked down the mountain with their basket.
There was no way he could pick up any valuable treasures. The basket was filled with wild vegetables, pebbles, and some small flowers.
She walked on, humming a song, her steps light and brisk, not noticing a slippery, mossy stone under her feet.
As soon as he stepped on it, Xida fell down the slope with the basket and rolled several times before stopping.
Fortunately, the slope was gentle and there were not many rocks, so she was not seriously injured, just a few scrapes.
Everything in the basket rolled out. Xida tidied her hair, brushed off the dirt on her body, and put the things back into the basket.
Pebbles were scattered everywhere, and Xida picked them up one by one. There was a stone that was half the size of an egg, with a faint red glow. It was very beautiful, so she picked it up naturally. Just as she was about to put it in the basket, she thought of something and took it back to look at it carefully.
The stones she picked up by the stream were not like this one. Moreover, this stone was incredibly beautiful, as red as pigeon blood. When she turned it over several times, the light flickered alternately.
Xida was surprised and curious, and looked around with his head tilted.
Suddenly, an idea struck her head like lightning, causing her to freeze.
This is a gem, the most valuable ruby, and she picked up the ruby just like that.
This quality must be top-notch merchandise. It's not like she hasn't seen gems before. Although this place is rich in jade, it also produces some gems.
The reason she didn't recognize it at first was that the gems she had seen in the hands of warlords and wealthy businessmen were not as pure, translucent, and radiant as this red.
Xida's hands began to tremble. This was the good luck brought by Naga (the snake Buddha of Puchen Kingdom). Their poor family was saved, and she and her brother would be able to live a good life in the future.
Her clothes were too thin to hide such a sparkling gem, so she tore off some leaves, wrapped the gem tightly, and hid it in her arms.
A figure jumped down from the top of the slope and saw a little girl hiding, with a look of surprise still on her face.
"Little girl, did you find any treasure?" the other party asked in the local language.
Xida turned her head and saw that the other person was wearing the uniform of Uncle Yin's men, with a tasseled spear on his back, and he raised his chin to her.
Uncle Yin is the most powerful warlord here, and his men go out to patrol the mountains every day.
She knew that in this situation, if she panicked, she would be exposed.
He straightened his clothes and hair, then stretched out his bloody arm to show the other man: "I fell down, and the rocks and wild vegetables I picked up fell all over the ground. Big brother, do you want to come and help me?"
The other person snorted, "Little girl, you don't know what's good for you. You picked up some rags and asked me to help you. Quickly pack up and get out of here. Don't get in my way."
Xida quickly said okay, continued to pick up the remaining things, and hurried away with the basket.
Uncle Yin's men stared at her. He always felt that the ecstasy on the girl's face just now was too real, and it was exactly the same expression as those who suddenly got good luck and picked up a treasure.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but under the sunlight, he felt something flash in the girl's heart.
