Chapter Ninety-Seven, Amber

The most terrifying thing in the world is a kind of maggot that grows into a human shape, they attach themselves to the body of their loved ones, and constantly gnaw on the flesh and even bones of their relatives until they suck the bone marrow of their relatives dry.

In Tang Yao's eyes, his father is such a person, and the most helpless thing for him is that if there is no this person, there will be no him.

"I don't have that much money, and I don't want to help you pay off your debts, I remember saying this three years ago when I was kicked out of the house, from now on the two of us are really strangers called father and son, and you also said that you will not come to me again from now on, are you slapping yourself now?" Tang Yao said unceremoniously.

Tang Yao still remembers that in the first year of high school, his father didn't know where to bring back a concubine, Tang Yao could endure his father's beating and scolding of him, and he could also endure his bad behavior of borrowing money and debts, and even when outsiders scolded him, Tang Yao would come forward to scold him back, but his father brought the concubine home made Tang Yao, who was only sixteen years old at the time, unacceptable.

He always believed that his father loved his mother, although he would scold when he was drunk, but when he woke up, he could always see his father secretly looking at his mother's photo, and in his heart, his father still had at least a little bit of brilliance.

From the fact that he brought his concubine back, and even when he was doing homework at night, he saw his concubine scratching his head in the clothes that his mother had wore, at that moment Tang Yao's most vulnerable defense line was broken, he rushed into his father's house, and made a big fuss, and finally the father and son broke up and said cruel words to each other, and then he was kicked out of the house, and even a week later, when he returned home, he found that even the door lock had been changed.

Human love, but that's it.

Tang Yao's father wiped the chocolate stains from his mouth, and then said: "I knew you would say that, seeing that you live in such a shabby place, I also know that you don't have much money, and you can't afford to pay back hundreds of thousands, right, then you can do me a favor, not only can I pay off my debts, but you can also make money." ”

"Help? How can it help? Tang Yao asked.

His father beckoned Tang Yao to walk over, and the two of them walked to a secluded place, and his father took out a strange object wrapped in a red cloth from his arms, and opened the red cloth, which was a yellow translucent stone, shiny but not the strong luster of a gemstone, and the inside was not deep and transparent, as if something was wrapped inside.

"This is something I finally got my hands on, some people outside say that it can be sold for millions, you help me sell it, and the money will be divided equally between the two of us." His father held this strange thing in front of Tang Yao, but he didn't let Tang Yao directly take it over and observe it.

"What is this, it looks a bit like amber, can I see it clearly?" Tang Yao asked.

His father shook his head and said, "This thing is too valuable, I gave it to you, what if you turn around and run away, you just look at it, I can hold it up in front of you." ”

The other party's hand raised and put this thing in front of Tang Yao's eyes, the slow rotation of his wrist has made it convenient for Tang Yao to clearly see the whole picture of this object, Tang Yao can basically judge that this is a piece of amber, but if it is not true, he doesn't know, and it seems to be wrapped in something, if it is natural amber and it really wraps a creature hundreds of millions of years ago, then not to mention millions, tens of millions of people want it.

"What's on the bread here...... How does it look a bit like a seahorse, no, it's not a seahorse...... This...... Isn't it a shrunken dragon? Tang Yao finally discovered what was wrapped in the amber, although he didn't believe his eyes, but Tang Yao still found that the amber was actually a shrunken dragon, that is, the dragon in the legendary mythological story.

"See, there's a dragon in here, so it's sure it can sell for a sky-high price, right?" Tang Yao's father said brightly.

Tang Yao sneered and shook his head and said, "Are you going to use this kind of thing to deceive me, this kind of stall, handicrafts on the Internet that cost dozens of dollars and free shipping, you use this kind of thing to want me to help you sell it for millions, crazy, right?" ”

Tang Yao didn't believe in his father at all, not to mention that he didn't believe that there was really a dragon in this world, this thing was a fake handicraft at first glance, and even a three-year-old child couldn't fool it.

"It's true, it's absolutely true." Tang Yao's father looked a little excited, and his voice also improved a lot.

"Tell me, then, where did you get this from?" Tang Yao asked disdainfully.

His father hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "This is what your mother left behind." ”

This sentence hit Tang Yao like lightning, Tang Yao's whole person was stunned for a moment, he grabbed his father's hand and shouted, "You say it again." ”

"This is left by your mother, who is my wife, she left a box at that time, which is full of this strange thing, I have sold some of them over the years, but they are not worth much, and now there is only such a thing left, I have inquired that if this thing is really naturally formed amber, it is worth a lot of money, you help me sell it, we can all make a fortune."

A wave of anger quickly burned in Tang Yao's heart, he didn't even know that his mother had left a box, he thought that the only thing his mother left was the bronze ring he had worn for many years, and he grabbed his father's hand more and more hard, his father shouted in a low voice, but Tang Yao didn't let go at all and asked: "Why did you sell the things left by your mother, are you so short of money and don't want to do it, who did you sell your mother's things to, tell me!" ”

"Why should I tell you that what your mother left behind is mine, it's your shit, you let go of me, you fucking let go of me." He began to beat Tang Yao, but when Tang Yao's hand was forced, he cried in pain and called out to his mother.

The anger became stronger and stronger, his hatred for his father was magnified several times at this moment, and there were even terrible thoughts vaguely in his mind, at this time, a person came out from behind, and gently grabbed Tang Yao's arm with his hand, Tang Yao was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to see the smiling face.

"Why are you so angry? Release your hand first. One of her smiles stopped the terrible thoughts in Tang Yao's mind, Tang Yao took a few deep breaths, and his mood gradually calmed down, and he let go of his hand only after the anger in his heart was forcefully suppressed.

Tang Yao's father shook his red wrist, which had been pinched, and stepped back again and again, and scolded in his mouth: "Unfilial animal, I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place, little cub ......"

Tang Yao didn't turn his head and didn't speak, but Sanyu walked over and picked up the amber that fell on the ground, looked at it carefully, and said to Tang Yao's father: "You are not natural, but the amber is real, but it's a pity that it is artificially made and not worth much." ”

"Little girl, what do you know?" Tang Yao's father shouted.

Sanyu stretched out his hand and lit up a bracelet on his wrist and said: "My bracelet is made of natural amber, although I am young but there are a lot of such strange things at home, so I have seen this since I was a child, but seeing that you are Tang Yao's father, and you are very short of money, I can help you as a friend of Tang Yao, you can't sell this thing for millions, but I am willing to pay two thousand yuan to accept it in Tang Yao's face, if you are willing to sell it, I will transfer the money to you now, if you don't want to, Just leave. ”

After Sanyu finished speaking, she waited for Tang Yao's father to give an answer, Tang Yao's father looked at her face, then looked at the piece of amber and shouted, "Two thousand yuan is too cheap, so be it...... I'll sell you five thousand dollars. ”

Tang Yao scolded angrily beside him: "Do you want to be shameless? ”

San Yu shook his head at him and said, "Five thousand yuan is fine, but I have one request, since the things left by Tang Yao's mother have been sold by you, I need to know the buyer's information, if you can tell me this information, I can pay five thousand yuan." ”

Tang Yao's father lowered his head and muttered for a long time, and only after he seemed to have made up his mind did he speak: "Okay, five thousand yuan, you can transfer it to me now." ”

The two of them took out their mobile phones, and Sanyao first transferred 3,000 yuan, and after Tang Yao's father told Sanyao the buyer's information, she transferred another 2,000 yuan, and Tang Yao's father, who got the money, spat on the ground, and then pointed at Tang Yao and scolded: "Unfilial son, you should thunder and split the day." ”

Tang Yao didn't bother to bother to turn his face, and after he left, Tang Yao said to Sanyu: "I know that you gave this money to help me get my mother's things back, but I will return this money to you, but it may take a while." ”

Sanyu took the piece of amber and put it in the sun to look at it carefully, Tang Yao felt strange when she observed it so carefully, so he asked, "Since it's fake, why are you still looking at it?" ”

Sanyu smiled and said, "It's true that this piece of amber is artificially made, but the little dragon inside is not necessarily fake. ”
