Chapter 5: The Mysterious Black Crystal

The old man looked at it: "Finger gesture of 1." Gao Yu looked at this and asked, "Ten yuan?" The old man shook his head, Gao Yu thought to himself, he really dared to ask for a price, so he took out a hundred yuan and put it in his hand, and did not hand it to the old man, but asked: "Uncle, did you sell that dry tobacco just now?" ”

The old man touched the leather bag, seemingly extremely reluctant, Gao Yu said: "If you are willing to sell, you can make a price." The old man said: "It's okay to sell this dry tobacco, anyway, it's secretly smoking now." Gao Yu took out a cigarette roll from his pocket, handed one to the old man and said, "If you sell dry tobacco, it will be easier to smoke this every day." ”

The old man smiled: "Then if you like it, give a price." Gao Yu heard "How can I say the price, you tell me about it, I will listen, and I will buy it if it is suitable"

The old man thought about it: "It's cheap anyway, I don't sell it." Just five hundred! He stretched out his hand, five fingers outstretched. Gao Yu concluded that the thing had a thought, and the goods were cold and easy to shoot, and the broken crystal was still a hundred, so he did not hesitate to take out five more Grandpa Mao, put them together and handed them to the old man.

Seeing that it was sold so happily, the old man took out dry tobacco from his shabby black leather bag and slapped it on Gao Yu's hand. Gao Yu put it in his hand and checked it, it was indeed a good product, but a few hundred yuan really didn't feel distressing to him, and it wasn't enough for the fare. He turned to leave, but the old man grabbed him: "Oh, young man, your stone." As he spoke, he stuffed the crystal into Gao Yu's hand.

After all, it cost a hundred yuan, Gao Yu took it and put it in his pocket, and the old man who was about to leave stopped him: "Young man, I can't find your stone money." You give me another piece. When Gao Yu heard this, he thought that the old man would ask for another dollar, "Uncle, you should give me this stone." You don't want a dollar. ”

"No" The old man actually dragged Gao Yu, just because of one dollar, Gao Yu felt that it was a bit embarrassing to bargain again, and he couldn't take out a dollar. To his surprise, the old man gave him a hundred and said, "I will sell one of my stones, no less!" ”

The high rain was even more bitterly smiling, he threw all the cigarettes on his body to the old man, and happily returned to the hotel. When he came back from a business trip, Gao Yu was ready to take the cigarette stick to be identified, but he never had time. As for this crystal, Gao Yu knows that even if it is pure natural, it will not be very expensive, and his wife often buys some crystal ornaments, since she likes crystals so much, she will give it to her to ease the cold war between the two people. So in his spare time, Gao Yu found a jewelry store near the unit and put on a necklace.

On the day of the heavy rain, before coming out of the office, the ghost sent him to hang the crystal around his neck, ready to go home and give it to his wife as a gift.

It was raining so hard that the road was full of water, and the river had already overflowed the river. Gao Yu was talking to the woman when he suddenly felt the car jolt violently, and soon he felt the water around him rush towards the car. Both of them were suffocated in a panic, and the woman grabbed Gao Yu's arm in a panic. And at that moment, Gao Yu saw that piece of light.

"Second son? Second son? What happened to you? Vaguely Gao Yu heard an anxious voice, he opened his eyes and saw Rou'er helping him wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, a gust of wind came out and it was cold, Gao Yu found that he was sweating a lot. But this startled cold sweat calmed him down. He was already flustered and irritable, but when he saw that Rou'er was still in front of him, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He dusted off Rou'er's arm, who was wiping his sweat, and yelled, "Don't bother me. Rou'er was taken aback by him, the second son had never yelled at him, and when he lowered his head, tears dripped down his face and fell on his clothes, Gao Yu also felt a little out of shape for such a little girl, so he said in a slow but cold tone: "You don't need it, you can go." ”

Rou'er cried and went back to the room, she didn't understand how the second son suddenly became like this.

Gao Yu calmed down for a while, he held the crystal in the palm of his hand, this is the only thing related to his previous life in his current situation, could it be that it has something to do with this crystal like this? His accident was raining heavily, and he woke up overboard.

What would this crystal look like if it were put in water? He thought about him and looked around, there was a well in the corner of the courtyard, Gao Yu walked to the well, fetched a pass of water, and poured the water on the crystal, except for the water droplets on the ground, there was no reflection. Gao Yu was a little disappointed, he sighed, do you have to wait for a heavy rain? He suddenly thought of that woman, if it was really the power of this crystal, would that woman be the same as himself?

In a daze, Gao Yu had no clue, he looked at the quiet courtyard under the moonlight, and looked down at his ancient costume and long hair hanging down to his chest.

He remembered what the young man said just now: Their father is Wang Anshi, is this Wang Anshi the famous prime minister of the Song Dynasty? And himself, not Gao Yu, history gave him a new name: Wang Bei!

The eldest son, Wang Yan and Wang Yuanze, came out of his younger brother's room, and he went straight to Wang Anshi's study. He was pleased with the change in his younger brother, and his steps were much lighter. Wang Anshi's study was still lit by candlelight, and Wang Yan walked to the door and called, "Daddy." Hearing Wang Anshi's "um", Wang Yan walked into the room and said excitedly, "Daddy, I've been to see Ruowu." ”

Wang Anshi was looking at Yuan Ze's homework, this child was free and smart, and he studied with his heart, which made Wang Anshi very pleased, and when he saw the eldest son mention the second son Wang, Wang Anshi asked casually: "What if there is nothing good?" ”

Wang Anshi's two sons are twin brothers, and when it comes to Wang Ruowu, Wang An's mood is very complicated.

Yuan Ze walked up to Wang Anshi's bookcase and said, "Okay, Daddy, my brother talked to me today." ”

Wang Anshi said "um", his attention was all on his eldest son's homework at this time, and he pointed to a few pages on the table and said. "Yan'er's recent homework has been read by his father, and he is very pleased to be able to have his own commentary on the Analects, and the book is not a day's work, and now I can't be proud, and some places need to be carefully figured out."

Suddenly, Wang Anshi seemed to realize something, he raised his head and looked at Yuan Ze in surprise: "What did you just say?" Your brother talks to you? ”

"Yes, my brother speaks fluently and clearly. It's just that I just don't remember the past." Wang Yan and Wang Yuanze said as he took out the poem written next to Wang from his arms and handed it to Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi took the paper and looked at it for a long time, he didn't know whether he was happy and surprised, or uneasy. The demented second son suddenly spoke, is this good or bad? He asked Yuan Ze to go back to the room to rest first, and he paced back and forth in the house.

Wang Anshi has always been reluctant to expose the identity of his second son, and there are his concerns: the eldest son Wang Yan is smart, if outsiders know that he has a stupid brother, it will inevitably make people laugh in the future; The two have similar appearances, and if the second son has a disaster, it will affect the future of the eldest son. But after all, they are all their own flesh and blood, not to mention that they have been in officialdom for many years, and they know that there are some things to avoid.

Thinking about this, suddenly the family came to report: The mansion opposite this house is on fire, do you want to go and see it? Wang Anshi hurriedly walked out of the study, and sure enough, when he saw the firelight, he walked out of the door, wanting to see what was going on, and he was worried. Could it be that the king's sobriety is a bad omen? But after thinking about it, since it wasn't a fire at home, it shouldn't matter what the good luck is.

Wang Anshi's family now lives in the new city of Bianjing, he came to Beijing to serve but has not been appointed, the family temporarily lives in the residence of the imperial court, it is such a three-entry house, the courtyard door opposite is a mansion, now it is just a scientific examination, the store is full of people who enter Beijing to catch the exam.

Standing on the pedestal in front of the gate of his compound, Wang Anshi could see the panicked people on the street, and the shop burning in the fire opposite, and he saw some people running out of the store with some objects. He hurriedly ordered his family to help with the rescue, and ordered the door of his house to be opened, which was large enough to temporarily accommodate some people who were suffering in the store.

Wang Anshi was directing the arrangement, and suddenly saw a young man rushing out of his side, but his body looked like his son, and the family also saw it and exclaimed: "What is the eldest son doing?" Before Wang Anshi could comprehend, the young man had already rushed into the shop in the flames.

Could it be that his eyes were spent, Wang Anshi rubbed his eyes, looked back and saw that his eldest son Wang Yan Wang Yuanze had just walked over, standing beside him and following him, seeing that the eldest son was standing in front of him safe and sound, Wang Anshi was much more relieved.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, sparks scurried out along the ridge of the roof, crackling in the fire, and suddenly screams and sighs erupted from the crowd. I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, I don't know where he got the strength, carrying an adult out of the burning mansion, the crowd followed the applause and cheers, only to see the boy put down the man and fell to the ground.

Wang Anshi hurriedly ordered the family to take a look. The family rushed into the crowd and came back with the boy. His clothes were burned and tattered, his face was blue and black, and he could no longer see his true face from the smoke and dust. "Go get a doctor!" Wang Anshi commanded again.

While everyone was busy, Rou'er stumbled over, and said breathlessly: "Master, the second son just ran out" As soon as she looked down and saw the young man on the ground, she screamed "Ah", because Rou'er recognized the injured person in front of her, and he was carrying the black crystal on his chest.

A month later, next to the king, his face was wrapped in gauze, and only his eyes and nostrils were exposed. In his room, four people sat around a table, and behind them stood three young men. Wang Pan has become accustomed to this kind of scene, and even he has become accustomed to calling himself the name "Wang Pan". He is the former Gao Yu, the current king.

Wang was covered with gauze for a month, and slowly saw the environment in front of him clearly, and gradually became familiar with some people, such as "father Wang Anshi", "mother Mrs. Wu", "brother Wang Yan (character Yuanze)" and these people sitting in the room.
