Chapter 3: Dragon's Blood Bead
The old man opened the box and handed it to them.
"Do you recognize what this is?"
Su Yue is different from Xiaotong, and she has never studied much about these jade stones. But this feeling of guessing aroused her enthusiasm, and she filtered all the red-related stones in her mind and blurted out them one by one
"This is the best Nanhong?"
Grandpa shook his head
"Deep Sea Red Coral Beads?"
Grandpa still shook his head
"Rubellite?". This time, Su Yue shook her head, even a layman like her felt that this was really not like tourmaline......
She saw that Xiaotong next to her had been staring at the bead intently, and she didn't speak, so she pushed her arm.
"You're an expert, tell me, what kind of breed is this?"
Xiaotong frowned and looked at the bead, "Strange! Growing so big, I have seen countless stones, but I have never seen such a variety, you see where it looks like a stone bead, clearly like a drop of coagulated blood! ”
Su Yue was shocked by Xiaotong's words, yes, it was indeed like a drop of scarlet blood, hideous and bewitching. If you look closely, there seem to be slight marks in it that are slowly fluctuating.
"And what kind of breed is it?" Su Yue couldn't help but ask curiously, but her eyes didn't leave the beads in front of her at all, and the blood-red beads seemed to have a magical power that attracted her.
"This is a dragon blood bead from ancient times, and it is said to be refined from dragon blood." The old man said seriously.
"Oh my God! Dragon's Blood Beads! Xiaotong's eyes widened, "How much does this kind of rare treasure have to be sold for?" "The nature of the businessman is unmistakably exposed.
Su Yue rolled her eyes on the side and smiled helplessly at Xiaotong and said, "Grandpa is joking with you, you think you're reading a fantasy novel!" Where is there a dragon in this world? Where does dragon blood come from without dragons? It was all made up by the ancients. And if you think about it, even if the Classic of Mountains and Seas is true, there were really dragons in ancient times, more than 10,000 years ago, the divalent iron ions in the blood are naturally oxidized in the air, and the water is naturally evaporated, so the beads should be black, how can they still be kept so bright red? Thanks to the medical university you are still studying. ”
Grandpa didn't refute him, he just followed Xiaotong's words and explained: "The dragon blood bead is not for sale, it only looks for people who are destined, and those who are destined get it, and don't take a penny." If you don't have a chance, you won't sell it!
"Then how can you be considered a destined person?" Su Yue asked thoughtfully.
The old man took the dragon blood bead out of the box and handed it to Su Yue's hand, "You put it next to your ear and try to see what you can hear?" ”
Su Yue took it and put the bead to her ear. As soon as the beads reached her ears, she felt the whirring wind, and the howl of the devil and wolf blew into her ears. She hurriedly put it down as if frightened, "There is a strong wind in the beads." ”
"Let me hear it," Xiaotong's curiosity had reached its limit, and she snatched the bead from Su Yue's hand and put it to her ear. "Huh? Isn't there any sound? She reluctantly changed her other ear. I pressed the beads tightly to my cochlea, but I still couldn't hear a sound.
"Could it be that Su Yue, you are destined for this bead.?" You're in luck, aren't you?
"Yes! It seems that Miss Su Yue is this destined person. I've been looking for decades, and I thought I wouldn't find it again in my life, but I didn't expect to run into it here. It seems that everything in the dark has its own destiny! ”
He took a small, beautifully embroidered brocade bag. Put the beads in. Tightened the rope on it and put it on Su Yue's neck.
Xiaotong took her hand and said excitedly: "You picked up a big bargain today, fortunately I didn't have to bring you here, you invite you for dinner in the evening, I want to have a big meal!" ”
Su Yue was also very excited. I didn't expect that just accompanying Xiaotong to hang out, she could also have such a surprise, it seems that she should go to buy lottery tickets.
She bowed deeply to the old man. Thank you to her for giving him such a rare thing.
The old man just smiled. "That's what you're doing, and I'm just returning it to its rightful owner.
Su Yue looked at the old man with an unknown look.
"You'll understand later!"
The old man didn't want to say more, and it was inconvenient for Luoyue to ask more.
