It didn't take long for the door to open, and the salesman walked in with a spirited old man.

The salesman brought the old man to Li Jun and introduced, "Boss, this is the one who is looking for you." ”

The old man waved his hand and motioned for the salesman to go about his own business, and looked Li Jun up and down with a pair of bright eyes, his eyes revealing doubts.

"We don't seem to have seen each other before, so I wonder what you're looking for me?" the old man asked straight to the point.

For the old man, Li Jun is just a hairy boy who has not dried up, and although this old man is not very remarkable, he is also a legend in this small city, otherwise he would not have opened the only silver building in this small city. At this time, it was not easy for him to stand here and talk to Li Jun politely.

Li Jun smiled slightly, and was not frightened by the momentum that the old man invisibly exuded: "Aren't we even acquainted now." ”

Li Jun's indifferent attitude made the old man stunned.

Many people who are older than Li Jun are difficult to be like Li Jun after knowing the identity of the old man, which makes the old man even more curious about Li Jun.

Li Jun looked at the guests who were choosing jewelry not far away, and said in a low voice: "I have something here, I want you to help me identify it." ”

The old man nodded: "Then please please bring things out." ”

Seeing that Li Jun was so cautious, thinking that what he was holding was not an ordinary thing, the old man couldn't help but use the word please.

Li Jun looked a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, may I ask if there is a quiet place, I ......"

Although he didn't finish speaking, the old man understood what Li Jun meant, obviously not wanting to cause trouble to himself because of the things on his body.

"Please come with me. ”

Led by the old man, the two entered the previous door.

Behind the door is a courtyard, which is supposed to be where the old man lived.

Li Jun followed the old man into one of the rooms, and the furnishings in the room were simple.

The wall is leaning against the bookshelf, and the bookshelves are full of books. At first glance, many of them are thread-bound books with yellowed paper.

In front of the bookshelf is a somewhat old book table, which looks like it has been collected for some years.

There are four treasures of the study room on the book table, and it can be seen that the old man loves calligraphy.

Judging from the furnishings in the study, it is difficult to associate the old man in front of him with the businessman who opened the silver building.

The old man seemed to see Li Jun's doubts, and said: "My family has been engaged in the jewelry business since their ancestors, which can be regarded as a family heirloom, and although I don't like it, I have to continue. ”

Li Jun nodded, no longer entangled in these, and took the box out of his arms. He had only come here to confirm the value of the gems, and he didn't care what the old man liked.

But Li Jun didn't notice that the moment he took out the box, the old man was stunned, but it only lasted for a short time.

"It's in the box, please take a look. Li Jun handed over the box.

The old man carefully took the box, rubbing his trembling hand on the lid, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but he endured it and opened the lid for a while.

As soon as the box was opened, the brilliance of the gemstone illuminated the entire study.

The old man stared intently at the gem, as if the dazzling brilliance had no effect on him.

After a while, the old man shuddered and closed the lid of the box, but his eyes still refused to take his eyes off the box, looking a little reluctant.

"I don't know...... Where did you get this......" The old man's voice trembled a little.

Li Jun replied: "I can't tell me this, please help me estimate the price." ”

The old man sighed: "I can't afford this thing." ”

Although he opened a silver building, his net worth combined was only a million, which may be good in this small city, but it is much worse than the thing in front of him.

"So, is the contents of this box real?" Although he had already gotten the answer from the old man's expression, Li Jun couldn't help but ask.

The old man nodded slowly and said, "Since you don't want to tell where you got it, then I won't be reluctant, but can you waste a little time and listen to me tell a story." ”

After getting the answer, Li Jun wanted to leave, but when the old man said this, he couldn't bear to refuse.

Without waiting for Li Jun to answer, the old man began to tell the untold story.

It turned out that the person who gave this gem was the father of the old man in front of him, and he had to sacrifice the gem for the safety of the family.

The old man had already recognized the box as soon as he saw it, but he couldn't believe it, in his mind, this gem should have been lost abroad, and he didn't expect to see it again in his lifetime.

After listening to the old man's story, Li Jun said with some embarrassment: "This thing belongs to your ancestors, and it stands to reason that I should return it, but ......"

Before Li Jun could finish speaking, the old man interrupted: "You misunderstood what I meant." I'm not saying this to get the gem back. ”

The old man paused, as if with great determination, and continued: "Originally, when I first saw the gem, I did want to take it for myself, but I knew that I could not do that. ”

Hearing this, Li Jun couldn't help but secretly exclaim, it was indeed his carelessness, if this old man had a bad idea just now, I am afraid that no one would know about killing him.

Li Jun settled down and said, "Then I don't know what you mean?"

"Don't worry, this thing doesn't belong to my family from the moment my father gave it up. I'm telling you this today, but I want to say what has been in my heart. My father's dedication of this gem was really not very glorious, but it was also a matter of no choice at the time. ”

Li Jun nodded in understanding, and at the same time thought in his heart, if he was in that situation, he didn't know how to choose.
