Chapter 38 The truth is hard to distinguish
These days with Zhao Menfeng to study, Wang Ke can be said to have benefited a lot, although he does not have the eyesight to be able to easily identify the authenticity of antiques and magic weapons, but through the knowledge learned, he can still have a vague concept, and the bronze Buddha statue in his hand, Wang Ke feels that this should not be a fake magic weapon, even if it is a fake magic weapon, but it should also be very likely to be a real antique.
A few days ago, when Zhao Menfeng explained the knowledge of antiques to him, he showed him a lot of antiques and a few magic weapons in his own house, and showed him to identify them, and this bronze Buddha statue was very similar to a magic weapon when Zhao Menfeng explained it to him.
Its carving process, although it does not look very exquisite, but thick and fine, there is an indescribable charm in the roughness of the appearance, just like a person's rough and fierce appearance, hiding a seven-trick exquisite heart.
Under the bewildered eyes of Li Hui and Cheng Renjie, Wang Ke got up from the sofa and strode to the door.
Is it the renovation of old objects?
Wang Ke's heart moved, he had seen people who were not goods processing a genuine magic weapon, although it looked more like the real thing, but many insiders would make a mistake in judging that it was genuine, but it was because it had a more false appearance after processing.
Is this bronze Buddha statue genuine? Or is it fake?
Wang Ke was a little unpredictable. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to use his Psychic Eye to take a look and see if the bronze Buddha statue was a magic weapon.
Slowly mobilize the true qi to gather on the eyes, because of the use of the ability eye many times, so the stinging pain in front of the eyes of each use of the ability has disappeared a lot, but it feels like being bitten by an ant twice, after the slight pain, a cool and refreshing feeling comes from the eyes.
No white gas?
Not a magic weapon?
Wang Ke quickly cut off his true qi, and after his eyes returned to the condition he had come from, he shook his head secretly with a wry smile.
"Brother Wang, do you see any doorways? Many masters say that it is fake, can it be wrong? Cheng Renjie looked at Wang Ke curiously and asked.
Li Hui showed a hint of expectation, if those masters were wrong, then the money he invested would be able to return to his capital, now he doesn't dream of how much money he can make, as long as he can return to his capital, he will be satisfied!
Wang Ke shook his head and said, "This is a fake magic weapon. ”
Li Hui showed a look of disappointment on his face, smiled bitterly, and shook his head silently.
Wang Ke didn't notice the look on Li Hui's face, and continued: "Although this is not a magic weapon, I think it should be an antique, but I am not 100% sure of it. ”
Li Hui's lost expression changed slightly, and Wang Ke's words made the hope in his heart resurface, even if it wasn't a magic weapon, if it was an antique, it would be fine! Although the price is not as high as the magic weapon, it is not worthless rags!
"Brother Wang Ke, what you said is true? Could it really be an antique? His body trembled slightly, and the look of hope in his eyes was a little stronger than before.
Wang Ke did not immediately answer Li Hui's question, but thought quickly in his heart, his eyes locked on the bronze Buddha statue in his hand, and carefully scanned the entire bronze Buddha statue a few times again, before he seemed to have made up some kind of determination, turned his head to look at Li Hui, and asked, "Brother Li, how much did you spend when you bought this bronze Buddha statue?" ”
Li Hui said without hesitation: "Forty-eight thousand." ”
Wang Ke pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Li, I'll give you forty-eight thousand, how about you sell me this bronze Buddha statue?" To be honest, I really don't know if this bronze Buddha statue is an antique or not, but it is certain that it is not a magic weapon. ”
Li Hui's eyes burst into a ball of essence, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. But Wang Ke's words made his heart sink again, and after hesitating for a while, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Brother Wang Ke, if this sentence was told to me by someone else, I would not hesitate to sell it." After all, if I can recover the capital, I will already be thankful for burning high incense. But this person is you, and you're not 100% sure, so I can't let you take the risk. You saved this life of mine, and if you really want it, I'll give it to you, and I don't want a penny. ”
Wang Ke secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, the reason why he decided to buy this bronze Buddha statue was not 100% that he thought it was an antique, once he made a mistake, then he would be a bamboo basket for water! In fact, part of the reason for his final decision was to help Li Hui! Wang Ke is already very clear about his family situation, not to mention that all his savings have been cheated out of everything, just because Li Hui's wife doesn't know what disease Lu Dao has and needs money for surgery, he can't sit idly by.
He is not a good person, let alone a person who thinks that a lot of money is hot, as early as ten days and half a month ago, he was still a poor young man, but he knows the taste of poverty and understands the feelings of the poor, especially when he needs money to do urgent things.
In these years, I can afford to delay anything, but I can't afford to treat diseases.
Li Hui's words made Wang Ke more determined to buy this bronze Buddha statue.
If Li Hui immediately happily agreed, Wang Ke would feel that even if this bronze Buddha statue was fake, he would lose his money and property. However, Li Hui's words are full of emotion, this is a bright and upright man, so even if he loses, he is willing.
"Brother Li, don't refuse! I believe in my own skills, so I have a lot of confidence that this is a real antique, and of course, if it is real, maybe I can make some money. I saved you, you are grateful to me, I understand this, so I also agreed to come back with you for a meal, I am afraid that you will not be able to get over that hurdle in your heart, but my brother is clear, I can't take advantage of you in vain, otherwise I won't be comfortable. Wang Ke said firmly.
"This ......"
Li Hui looked at Wang Ke in a daze, and his heart could be described as full of mixed feelings.
Forty-eight thousand yuan is a huge amount of money for him, if he is not impressed, it is absolutely fake, after all, among the forty-eight thousand yuan, in addition to the five thousand yuan returned to his friend, there are also all the savings of the husband and wife over the years.
However, the kind-hearted life-saving benefactor in front of him had to buy it at the original price when he was not 100% sure, which made him hesitate even if he was full of excitement.
Wang Ke could see Li Hui's inner struggle, and he also knew the importance of this money to Li Hui.
In order not to let Li Hui insist anymore, Wang Ke said: "Brother Li, even if you think I am a good person, then I will be a good person thoroughly, since you are grateful to me, then I will make you more grateful." I'm not afraid to tell you, in fact, I bought this bronze Buddha statue, a large part of the reason, is to test what kind of character you are, if you just agreed happily, maybe I may not buy it! But I was really touched by your words. I don't know what kind of illness my sister-in-law is, and I can't help much, if you're a big man, you'll be awkward. Forty-eight thousand, I bought it, if you don't sell it, I will immediately return the bronze Buddha statue to you, turn around and leave. Let's just treat it as if we've never met, and even if we meet in the future, we don't know anyone. ”
Li Hui looked at Wang Ke's insistent face, a trace of tears appeared in his big eyes, he felt that his heart was trembling, and the warm heat flow in his heart made the tip of his nose sour.
Gritting his teeth, Li Hui nodded heavily and said: "Since Brother Wang Ke has said everything you have said about this, your great kindness, I Li Hui remember it in my heart, I need money, I need a lot of money, but I am not a person who sees money, it is really your sister-in-law who needs surgery in the near future." I won't refuse, I'll sell you something. ”
Wang Ke nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Then without further ado, let's go to the bank now!" I'll take the money for you. ”
Li Hui shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I said that I would invite Brother Wang and Brother Cheng to dinner today, and I will talk about the matter of withdrawing money when I am full of food and drink." ”
Cheng Renjie, who was standing next to Wang Ke and Li Hui, looked at Wang Ke with strange eyes, and in the depths of that weirdness was a vague respect.
In his heart, Wang Ke jumped into the river to save him, he was grateful to Wang Ke, for Wang Ke's deeds of saving people, he felt that Wang Ke had a good character and was a great good person, he was grateful to Wang Ke and admired him. But if it is described as respect, it is a bit unqualified, after all, he has done it to save people, even if he does not have that strength.
But now, it is definitely not too much to describe his mind with respect.
At this moment, Wang Ke is a good person, a good person, and a compassionate person in his heart.
Subsequently, Wang Ke's attention did not stay on the bronze Buddha statue, but chatted with Cheng Renjie and Li Hui. While chatting, Wang Ke keenly observed that less than three minutes after the three of them returned to the house, when Li Hui went to the next room to change clothes, he quietly stuffed his son with a hundred-yuan bill, and muttered a few words in his son's ear. Although Wang Ke couldn't hear what Li Hui said, he could guess that he was probably asking his son to find his wife and ask her to buy more good wine and food.
At lunchtime, neither Wang Ke nor Cheng Renjie drank alcohol, because Wang Ke needed to go back in the afternoon and continue to do his work as a bodyguard, while Cheng Renjie still had to work at the party, and work full of alcohol was not the same thing after all.
Li Hui didn't force the two, he understood the two, even if he was full of gratitude, he could only suppress it in his heart, and kept persuading the two to eat more.
Wang Ke, who was full of food and drink, led Li Hui to a nearby bank, transferred 48,000 yuan to Li Hui's account, and then took the bronze Buddha statue to say goodbye and got on the bus back to Li Ruoxi's villa.
He didn't immediately go to the antique trading market to find Zhao Menfeng to see if this bronze Buddha statue was a genuine antique. Although he wanted to know as soon as possible whether this bronze Buddha statue was a genuine antique, he had just studied with Zhao Menfeng in his own house in the morning, and he was not in a hurry, and he would go up tomorrow to study again, and it would not be too late to ask again, and he could also check some information about the bronze Buddha statue after going back.
Wang Ke didn't know what to do, after he left, the news about his rescue in the antique trading market had been spread, and many people felt a little incredible that he could save two people in the turbulent river, and the name of the great hero and great ability was also placed on his head.
Zhao Menfeng, who was in his own home, was drinking fragrant tea, looking at the book on feng shui in his hand comfortably, and two middle-aged people with antiques walked into his own house while talking about Wang Ke's rescue just now.
