In just a few days, both brothers began to be a little discouraged.

"On that nameless mountain, there is nothing to fight, no rabbits, wild boars, foxes are nowhere to be found. Zhang Xiaoxian said indignantly after he came back.

"I'm so strange, such a mountain is also called a mountain, it's obviously a wasteland, no, there are a few decent beasts in the wasteland, and there is nothing else to see here except trees and stones......

Look at Zhang Linzi, although he wrote a few letters for people on the street and earned a few pennies of silver, but looking at his current demeanor, he is tired and has no strength.

Having to spend the whole day in a wheelchair and not being able to lie down and rest was really torture for his crippled body.

"No, we can't go on like this, at least you can't go to the street anymore, your body will be unbearable. Zhang Xiaoxian said urgently.

"It doesn't matter, I'll hold on for a few more days, maybe after a while. ”

"If I say no, no, you will stay at home from tomorrow onwards, and I will go out to earn money. ”

"Are you still going to the mountains?" Zhang Linzi asked him.

Zhang Xiaoxian thought for a while and said: "I still have to go to the mountain in the future, in case I can get something and can't sell it for money, let's fight the tooth sacrifice, but tomorrow I am going to go to the street to see if I can find an errand to make money." ”

Zhang Xiaoxian thought very well, but the reality made him a little discouraged, Lin'an City is very prosperous, but the people living here are very picky about everything, he is a teenager without any experience, in addition to his strength and the ability to kill and hunt, other things that can allow him to exchange for silver, so far he really hasn't found it.

So the first day out had no results, the second, third day...... Five days have passed, Zhang Xiaoxian still hasn't come up with a good way to make money, and he doesn't know how to go back to Zhang Linzi, who is actually swollen in his heart although his face is calm.

"Is my Zhang Xiaoxian really so useless?"

Standing on the crowded Changxi Street, Zhang Xiaoxian scratched his head blankly, the sun was about to set, thinking that he would return again in vain today, and he couldn't help but be anxious.

He looked around and saw a street corner not far to his left, and he could faintly hear the noise of people.

"Okay, after shopping around this street again, I'll go back, if I still don't find a good way, then I can only pick up a knife to chop wood!" Zhang Xiaoxian thought with some unwillingness, and then raised his hand and touched the hand knife in a black sleeve hanging from his waist, and thought secretly.

Passing through Changxi Street in front of him and turning the corner, Zhang Xiaoxian couldn't help but be stunned, there was another world hidden here.

On both sides of the street, which is not very spacious, there are many stalls, and in front of the stalls are scattered stones, of different shapes and colors.

There are often people standing or squatting in front of the stalls on both sides of the street, carefully inspecting the stalls and arguing with the stall owners.

Zhang Xiaoxian was a little confused, and as the flow of people walked all the way, he stood in front of one of the stalls, frowning at the stones that were placed on the red cloth, gray and dull, or with some cowscarlet.

He looked at the people around him in bewilderment, and several of them were staring at these not very good-looking, even some ugly stones, with burning eyes shining.

"What are these?" he asked the old man who was setting up the stall in front of him, very puzzled.

When the old man heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at the young man a few times, and said with a smile: "Since you don't even know this, then what are you doing in this jade market?

It turns out that these are the legendary jade wool?

Zhang Xiaoxian not only moved in his heart, but immediately thought of his own father, Lin Wenyuan, who was destroyed by raiding his house.

Back then, the Lin family also did a lifetime of jade business, and in the end, it was because of the jade that was killed, which caused a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoxian couldn't help but sink his face, and turned around and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, the old man saw that he was a little cleaner than others, and some people were about to leave without interest, so he seemed to be a little anxious to attract customers, so he hurriedly grabbed a stone and said to Zhang Xiaoxian:

"Young man, don't be in a hurry to leave, look at these treasures of mine, although there is no guarantee that there are good jades in the pieces, but there are always eight or nine out of ten, you take a piece, you must know that I will sell you at a price slightly higher than the stone, you change hands, fortunately the beautiful jade, then you may double the income......"

Doubling the money? Zhang Xiaoxian, who originally wanted to ignore what the old man said, became interested when he heard this.

His most urgent task now was to earn some silver as soon as possible, knowing that he only had a few taels of silver left in his hand now, and the two brothers were about to go hungry.

"Can you guarantee that there is indeed jade in this stone?" Zhang Xiaoxian immediately widened his eyes with interest and looked at the stall owner.

When the old man who set up the stall heard this, he shook his head: "No one can guarantee this, it can only be said that it is very possible!"

Zhang Xiaoxian hesitated a little, but he wanted to earn the silver urgently, but he couldn't help but let him stretch out his hand and take the stone that looked not small and had a cyan body around it from the old man's hand.

Seriously looked at it and watched,

"This, really?"

"The condition looks very good, and there is a great possibility of jade, but I can't guarantee it for you, this depends on personal eyesight. The old man said.

Zhang Xiaoxian nodded, stared at this stone for a long time and didn't see anything, and turned his energy to other stones on the stall uneasily.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and his attention fell on another stone that looked like a smaller brick in the stall, and he vaguely saw that on this inconspicuous stone, there was a trace of black gas constantly floating, and then disappeared strangely into the stone.

"Can my eyes see if there is something in the stone?" Zhang Xiaoxian was not only shocked, but also put down the stone in his hand and took the strange dark gray stone in his hand.

frowned and thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "This piece, I want it!"

The old man who set up the stall was stunned for a moment, and then the wrinkles on his face instantly dispersed, because he saw that the stone in the young man's hand was smaller than the one just now, not to mention the color, and the color was also gray, and there was a chance that the jade material would not be opened, and there were obvious traces of horsetail cracks on it, which was obviously a piece of waste, but today he was lucky, and the young man who came to buy the goods definitely didn't understand anything, so he earned it......

The old man smiled happily, and his speech was naturally more atmospheric.

"Young man, you have a good eye, this stone is dug from the Wulong River Basin, and there is a high possibility that there is jade. ”

Zhang Xiaoxian listened, nodded and said, "Then how much silver do you want for this stone?"

The old man stroked his beard under his chin and said, "Seeing that it is the first time that you are a young man to do this kind of business, then I will take care of you once, and I will take care of you for five taels of silver, are you willing?"

Zhang Xiaoxian was stunned, all his and Zhang Linzi's belongings were only three taels of silver, and he was thinking of buying some rice to go back today.

"Can it be less, how about two taels?"

"No, no, no, so I'll lose a lot, this young man, you have to know, what you buy is a boy, if there is jade in it, you can double the amount of money?"

Zhang Xiaoxian listened, reconfirmed this stone that was different in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Then three or two, I don't want more!"

After hearing this, the old man who set up the stall pretended to sigh and said, "Okay, for your sake, I won't bother with you for the sake of your first time, three taels will be three taels!"

The business here has become a transaction, according to Zhang Xiaoxian's request, to open the material on the spot, just when he just handed over the only three taels of silver in his pocket to the owner of the stall with all his reluctance, among the few people who stood by and watched all this, someone shouted at that time.

"Look, there's someone here to cut the material!"

At this shout, the street was still asking for prices in front of the stalls, and everyone who was watching the materials rushed towards this side in unison.

This is the most anticipated scene, a stone a few knives down, is the difference between cloud and mud, or sad or happy, all by the will of God.

"This young man, are you sure you want to cut the material on the spot?" The old man, who had already received the silver, looked at Zhang Xiaoxian happily, and there was a hint of pity in his expression.

He has been a business for most of his life, and if jade can be found in such stones, then he will see a ghost.

"Let's go!" Zhang Xiaoxian nodded.

"Okay, then let's go!" replied the old man.

As the words fell, the old man turned around and took out a small hammer and chisel from the cloth bag not far behind him.

"Look, look, ready to cut...... "As the delicate hammer fell on the chisel in the old man's hand, everyone around them stared nervously at the stone, which was quite inconspicuous no matter how you looked at it.

For a while, in front of this small stall full of people, in addition to the sound of beating, there was also the whispering of everyone.

"Look at the condition, it's not good! It's still so small......"

"But no, it's very likely that there is no expectation, hey, this young man has no experience, and he may have to gamble this time!"

The sound of pounding stones fell on Zhang Xiaoxian's ears, which was particularly harsh, and the people who watched the excitement were nervous, but after all, no one had such a strong heartbeat as him.

This is the stone he bought with all his remaining possessions, and all his expectations are on it.

After a while, with a muffled "click", the stone was finally chiseled into two uneven halves.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the stone......

What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a slightly black scrap stone that had been split in half, and there was any jade in it.

"Hey, that's true!" everyone sighed a little boredly.

Some of them also looked at the young man with a pair of sympathetic eyes.

The young man here has changed his face slightly, he is a little puzzled, he just saw that there is something strange on this stone, but when he opens it, there is nothing, is it because he is dazzled? Or is there something strange about this stone itself!

The old man who set up the stall had already guessed that there would be such a result, so he was not surprised, and shook his head at the young man slyly and sighed: "This young man, you seem to be a little unlucky......"

"It's okay, since it's my choice, there's nothing to regret. Zhang Xiaoxian bent down and picked up the waste stone that had been split in half and said.
