Chapter 53: Chalcedony
When I woke up the next day, it was already dawn, and when I looked up at the watch on the wall, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning. I turned my face to see that all three of them were still asleep.
I got up and got dressed, after washing. Yang Kexing was awakened, so he sat up, stayed on the bed and stayed in a daze for a long time, and then rolled up his autumn pants to check the wound.
After reading it, I immediately screamed.
I hurried over to see what had happened yesterday. I saw that Yang Kexing's wound seemed to have doubled. What should have been normal skin is now as smooth as a loach, and sap is oozing slightly, and there seem to be some small granulations growing inside the wound. Yang Kexing's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly called Wu Feifei and Feng Laonong.
When Feng Laonong heard the scream, he didn't sleep anymore. Climb up and look at the wound. Sure enough, the wound was much bigger than yesterday. The same is true for Wu Feifei. Looking elsewhere on his body, there was a smooth wound the size of a coin on his back.
Yang Kexing said: "It's over, it must have been poisoned by that monster." If we do this again, we won't be able to do that. "
"Brother yesterday? You know a lot, tell me about it," Feng Lao Nong said.
"I've never seen anything like this. I've never heard of it. Yang Kexing said: "This time it's a dead deal, because I'm about to fight for a while, but I didn't expect to affect you." "
"Where's the word? It's all grasshoppers on a rope, hurry up and find a way," Feng Laonong said.
"Let's go to the hospital. Wouldn't it be nice to cut that smooth meat? I said.
"I'm afraid it won't work, the poison is probably already in the whole body. Don't you see it all growing on your back? Feng Laonong said.
"yes, the hospital definitely can't. If this kind of thing were to be told to the doctors, it would probably not be possible to send us to a psychiatric hospital," Yang said.
Feng Lao Nong frowned and said, "That little brother, who knows more in this antique city?" Let's try to ask? "
"How can there be such talents! It's all fakes. Even if there is something that is hidden, it will not tell us about these things. Yang Kexing said: "I was ten years old in this antique city, who eats a few buns at night, I know where there are those capable people." "
"What about your father? Your family's ancestors must know these things," Feng Lao Nong asked.
"I don't know if he knows or not, but I don't dare to tell him about this," Yang said.
"You're still not afraid of death." Feng Lao Nong said: "It's not terrible to die, if we all become that monster, it will be miserable." We will definitely be dragged to exhibitions all over the world, and when we are done, we will be put in a bottle for others to visit. After speaking, he deliberately twisted his eyebrows and opened his mouth wide to pretend to be in pain.
Seeing this, Yang Kexing thought about it and said, "Otherwise, I will say that you have been poisoned, and ask me if the old man understands it." If you understand, let's find a way to cure it, what happened yesterday? "
"Medium! Dou said, "Feng Laonong made a decision.
Without further ado. We quickly packed up our things and headed to the antique city. When we arrived at Yang's shop, Feng Lao Nong broke up the guys, and then we went into the back room with Yang's father to talk about it.
After talking nonsense again, Feng Laonong uncovered the wound and showed it to Father Yang. Tell him that after being scratched by a monster like that, it became like this.
Father Yang was shocked when he heard this. Hurriedly asked, "Have you ever fought with a group of Japanese?" "
When we heard it, we didn't understand what was going on. But it can be heard from Yang's father's tone. He seemed to know the origin of this monster. Feng Lao Nong hurriedly said, "Do you always know about this monster? Please save me, your great kindness and great virtue have been written down in my life" After speaking, Feng Laonong retreated and knelt down to Father Yang.
Father Yang hurriedly got up and helped Feng Lao Nong up, and let us all sit on the chairs. "I've heard of this, more than 10 years ago, there was a group of people who were fighting around to help a Japanese find something. Later, this group of people did not know where they went. But there was one person who was also injured in the same way, and let the old man of my family see what was going on. My old man said that the poisoning was too deep and there was no way to save it. The man was not reconciled, so he asked what was going on. My old man asked him if he had been injured by something called a worm. The man described the monster as you say. "
"In addition to the smooth wound on the man's body, there were also tentacles several centimeters long. When I saw it, I was very scared. So remember it more clearly. Father Yang paused and said, "That man can't tell the name of the thing that hurt him, but that's what it looks like." The man asked my father for a way to save them, and my father told them they needed to find chalcedony under the jade mines. The chalcedony is then applied to the wound to pull out the toxin. But the tentacles had already grown on the man's body, and my father said he wouldn't live for three days. And the man thanked him and went away. "
"Is chalcedony agate?" Yang Kexing asked.
"No, the chalcedony I'm talking about is not what the secular people call agate. It's something that grows in a jade mine, like a liquid. But it is jade itself. It can be called jade liquid, understand? Father Yang said.
"Ahh Is there any liquid in jade? Feng Lao Nong was surprised.
"Yes, this chalcedony is said to have been produced with jade when the earth's crust was moving in ancient times. Jade outside, hard and hard. Chalcedony is inside the jade, but it is liquid. This kind of thing is only possible in the deepest or lowest part of the jade mine. And like a candle afraid of fire, chalcedony will turn into a hard piece of jade when it sees the wind or flows out of the jade for a long time. Father Yang said.
"Aren't we going to die, then?" Feng Laonong opened his mouth and said, only after he finished speaking, he realized that he had revealed his mouth and said that he was us.
"Huh? You guys? Didn't you get hurt yourself? Who else? Father Yang asked again and again.
"As far as I'm concerned, I mean that if I die, my little brothers won't be allowed to drink the northwest wind and starve to death," Feng Lao Nong said.
"You're in danger now, and if you don't find the chalcedony quickly, I'm afraid you won't live for a few days," Father Yang said.
"Where's the chalcedony? You have mercy and help me. Feng Lao Nong was so anxious that he was sweating.
"As long as jade is produced, there may be this chalcedony, like Dushan in Nanyang and Hotan in Xinjiang." Yang's father said: "According to your situation, Xinjiang is a little far away, and it is estimated that if you can't reach Xinjiang, you will die." "
"Then go to Nanyang to find it?" Feng Laonong asked.
"Well, you can consider going and seeing" Yang's father said: "Yang is feasible, you can help them buy some tools to drill holes down the mountain, and let them go to Nanyang as soon as possible, this matter can not be delayed." "
Yang Kexing said: "I also want to go with them to see and have a long experience."
"It's so busy in the store, you go see what. Don't go," Yang's father opened his mouth and rejected Yang Kexing.
Yang Kexing wanted to take the opportunity to go to Nanyang with us to find chalcedony to treat his illness. But Father Yang must have been afraid of danger, so he didn't let Yang go. Yang Kexing sweated in a hurry, and had no choice but to do so. Rolled up his pants and pulled out the wound for his dad to see.
When his father saw the wound, he almost lay down without being surprised. After a while, he said, "You little bastard, you really want to piss me off!" "
Yang Kexing said: "It's like this, it's useless for you to scold me." That wine worm jade cup is our trophy. We made more than a dozen of these jade objects, but they were all broken during the fight with the dragons. If you can bring out an artifact, it's worth it, but it's a big deal if we all die. The money from the sale of the artifact is enough for you to provide for your old age. "
After hearing this, Father Yang's face and neck were thick. After sighing, he said, "It's all fate! When your grandfather was alive, he always asked me to stay away from antiques and ask me to do other business. Alas, I didn't listen to this business when I saw that it was profitable. It turned out that what should have come has come. Alas! I can't hide from it."
We don't know what Father Yang said, but it seems that Father Yang has a feeling of resignation. In this case, Mr. Yang is estimated to have to invest a lot of money to help us.
Sure enough, Father Yang took paper and pen from the table and wrote something with a brush. While writing, he instructed Yang Kexing to go to the safe and get 20,000 yuan out.
Yang can take out the money and come out, and Yang's father has already finished writing. handed it to Yang Kexing and said: "Buy it as soon as possible according to this list, don't bargain with others." You can't afford to delay a minute now. "
Yang Kexing put the money in his backpack and carried it, holding the paper. We were about to buy according to the order, but Father Yang stopped us and said, "I'm too old to climb high and low." I've never been in a fight. I originally wanted to go to Nanyang with you, but considering that it would be a burden to go, I didn't go. "
"I think of someone. That person was an apprentice that my father had taken before, a native of Wushan Town, Suizhou, Hubei Province, who used to work as a stonemason in the mountains. knows how to dig roads to find ore veins, and has a stunt, that is, opening the mountain gravel is like a pangolin to make a hole. No matter how big the stone is, he doesn't use explosives or tools. Three under five divided by two can also be done. But this person is not right, and he wants to learn the skills of Dou'er from us. So my father drove him away, and I haven't been in touch for ten years, and I don't know if he will help him. "
"You go buy equipment first, and I'll find a way to contact him. Ask him to help with this. Father Yang said, "If he can help, your affairs will be easier." "
When Feng Laonong heard this, he hurriedly said, "Is the person you are talking about called Wan Bao'er?" He is about 1.8 meters tall, and his home is in the reservoir of Wushan Town. "
Father Yang hurriedly said, "Do you know him?!" That's the man! "
"We used to be soldiers together, and at that time, when we dug trenches or something, he led the team," Feng Laonong said: "This person is the proudest, and no one looks down on him because he has a little ability." I've fought with him a few times, and the relationship is not very good," After speaking, Feng Laonong sighed.
"Can you reach him, then?" Father Yang asked.
"I'll try it, he has other comrades-in-arms in Suizhou, and he has been in contact, let my comrades-in-arms go to find him" Feng Laonong said: "Where is the post and telecommunications office?" I'll hang up the phone in Hubei."
Yang said: "You don't have to go to the post office, I have a phone at home." "
After speaking, he took Feng Lao Nong to the house where his father slept. Sure enough, there was a telephone on the table.
Feng Laonong read the number and asked Yang Kexing to dial it. Then came the voice of the operator. After Feng Laonong said something, he waited for half a cigarette, and a man's voice came from the other end of the phone, and the phone was connected. After Feng Laonong whined and talked about the past, he inquired about Wanbao. After talking for a while, he hurriedly asked Yang Kexing to take a note. Then after talking again, he hung up the phone.
Feng Laonong came out and said to Father Yang: "I have already got Wanbao's phone. But my relationship with him is really not much better. If I begged him, he wouldn't help. So I'll have to bother you to contact him."
"Ahem! When this person was driven away by my old man, it was still the money I secretly gave. But this person is capricious, forgetful of great gratitude, and remembers small mistakes. I don't know if you're willing to sell me this face. Father Yang said.
"Try it when you're old. That Wanbao is very greedy for money, and if he really doesn't want to, he will give him this jade wine cup. Let's exchange a few lives," Feng Lao Nong finished speaking, and took out the box containing the jade wine cup and put it on the table.
Father Yang excused himself and asked Old Farmer Feng to put it away first. Then he turned around and went back to the house to call Wanbao. We hurriedly gathered around and sat down on the bed. didn't dare to say a word, and quietly waited for Father Yang to call Wanbao.
After the operator asked Yang's father about the phone he wanted to make, he began to transfer. After a long while, the other end of the phone said let's wait a while, and he went to call Wanbao. After a long time, a middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Which one is looking for me?" "
