"Huh? Smuggling, that's not a crime. I shouted in surprise.

The professor nodded, "Yes, but then he gradually made the family business bigger, and began to operate this aspect seriously. ”

I immediately wondered, "So how did you meet?" It stands to reason that one who plays jade and the other who studies dragons has nothing to do with it. ”

"Old schoolmate." The professor smiled, "We are old classmates, we have been on good relationship for so many years, but I saved his life." ”

"Yo, professor, you are still a hero to save the United States." I couldn't help but laugh.

The professor was suddenly unhappy, "Hey, what do you say, who is the hero and who is the beauty?" Heroes save the beauty, I save like this. Looking at the professor's appearance, I still couldn't help but laugh, the professor was impatient, "Do you like it?" ”

I then took the two of the smallest, "Then I want these two." ”

"These two?" The professor looked left and right and didn't see any difference? "Are you sure? I didn't bring you here, but I didn't come to be a loser. ”

"What do you say?" I rolled my eyes, "I'm short of this money." ”

"Five thousand a." The coach gave me a price.

My hands shook a little, but I still didn't give up, what if I won the bet, it would be doubled, "I care about that money?" ”

"Okay, okay, whatever you want." The professor was helpless.

I walked into the store with two palm-sized rough stones to check out, and it happened that Lao Xi was busy with work, "Yo, after reading it, tell me what you like." ”

"I want these two rough stones, how much?" As soon as the stone was placed on the table, the waiter was immediately ready to collect the money, and then took it to untie it.

Lao Xi glanced at it, "Hey, these two stones, I've been in my warehouse for a long time, I like to give them to you, anyway, I can't solve anything." ”

It sounded a bit like a flag, "Thank you." ”

"It's okay, it's time to give you a gift for this little girl, you girl, your eyes are powerful, your mouth is also powerful, and you are kind to me. I won't give it to anyone else. Lao Xi smiled.

The waiter also smiled, "Do you need to untie it?" ”

"Hmm," nonsense, I don't know if I'll take it back to the foot of the bed.

Watching the staff guy take two stones to the side of the stone dissolver, first fixed a stone on the stone dissolver, cut it in half, cutting a little slowly, after all, this is a cut stone, a knife down, open, there is jade inside, but uneven, are close to the middle of the area. But the head is not bad.

"Yo, the little girl is lucky, she can make a few small pendants and rings when she solves it." Lao Xi also came over.

The young man was busy for a while, and then he cut out several pieces of jade materials, the largest of which was the size of a pigeon's egg, and the smallest, which was the size of a grain of rice, a total of four or five pieces.

Immediately afterwards, the second piece was fixed, or a horizontal cut in the middle, the inside was black, just when he thought the bet had failed, Lao Xi suddenly exclaimed.

"I'm a mother." Lao Xi shouted, took the stone with his hand, and looked inside, "Oh, I'm blind, this is a good black jade." ”

"Oh, really," the employee boy cried out.

Lao Xi held the stone and refused to give it to me, "Alas, girl, this can't be given to you, in this way, whatever you like in the store, you can pick whatever you like, and it will be exchanged with you." ”

Seeing the expression of the old friend, the professor was also happy, "You old guy, you are still such a chicken thief after so many years, you won't let go when you see good things, don't you, I said it before, both pieces are ours, you want to regret it, think about it, if it weren't for my student, you would still be a broken stone to press the bottom of the box, bring it to me, don't be ashamed of your age." ”

"Hey, why am I embarrassed, I said it, take whatever you want in the store, and I'll change it." Lao Xi held on to it and refused to let go.

"If you don't get me, I want this." Professors are going to go*.

Seeing that they were about to fight, I hurriedly went up to stop it, "Eh, professor, calm down, it's just a stone, and it was given to me by someone, it's not a big deal, it's really not good, I'll just pick another one." ”

"That's it, you see that other people's children are more sensible than you." Old Sidley was unforgiving.

I looked at Lao Xi again and stretched out half of it, "But what the professor said is also right, so for the sake of fairness, one and a half." ”

"Hey, this ......" Lao Xi choked, there was no way, "I have to got, even if I got the light of your girl, half is half." ”

I don't know much about jade, but I also know that black jade is worth more than ordinary jade, not to mention that it is such a good natural product as Shuitou, the staff guy looks like a veteran, and he will solve the two pieces in three or two clicks, without wasting a little, the two are about the same size, but the color is a little different.

"In this way, girl, take your jade materials today, and I will carve one for you to see on the spot." Lao Xi walked to his studio in the back, waved his big hand, and took a box casually, which was full of knives of the same style and different sizes.

"There are a lot of carving knives, but Lao Xi only uses this one knife," the professor explained to me, "that is, the size of the jade material to determine the size of the knife." ”

Lao Xi first picked up the piece of jade the size of a pigeon's egg, looked at it, and unconsciously had a shape in his mind, a small one at random, and put the jade into a basin of water next to him with his hand. Is he going to carve in the water?

This is simply unheard of and unseen, not to mention that the water is easy to cause the difference in light, I have only heard of carved tofu in the water, but tofu is not a stone.

Immediately after, I saw a flower in front of me, as if there were countless shadows walking in the water, Lao Xi's technique was very fast, coherently with the phantom remaining, I couldn't help but rub my eyes, but the residual phantom was still there, the water surface did not move, as if the hand did not move, but the underwater jade began to have a shape, one by one the depiction is very neat, cutting jade is like cutting tofu.

A small carved piece, more than half an hour to complete, and when Lao Xi took it out, it was like a hibiscus out of the water, the jade beads were round and jade, and there were some water droplets left on it, but looking at the carved jade piece, I couldn't laugh, it was an emerald green bird, this bird, it was double-headed, and it was the mark of our pawnshop.

Looking at the mark of this two-headed bird, I broke out in a cold sweat, looking at Lao Xi, "You ......" This guy, who is it?

"Come, girl, I've got it for you." Lao Xi didn't care, and put the two-headed bird in my hand.

Because I just took it out of my hand, there was still a trace of chill on the jade piece, and I held the bird, and the cold air spread from my fingertips to my heart.

Lao Xi just wiped his hands, "Eh, girl, are you interested in learning jade carving from me, I think you are also very interested, eh, I can tell you, this practice of jade carving, but you can cultivate yourself and practice mental power, so that your professor usually lets you stay up late to copy homework, and you have no energy during the day." ”

Hearing Lao Xi say this, I blew up directly, looked up at him, this person, he actually knows how to cultivate spiritual power, and he is also a cultivator? But it's not like it, and how does he know about the cultivation spiritual power that Lin Xi mentioned to me before? Is it just a coincidence?

At night, I lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, the two-headed bird in my hand has always made me uneasy, I agreed to learn carving from Lao Xi, and mainly wanted to find out who he was.

Closing my eyes, my mind unconsciously remembered the technique of Lao Xi's carving during the day, dazzling, but not in a hurry or slow like the flowing water, but the carving speed is not slow at all, I thought about the technique, and my hand began to move unconsciously. As it becomes more and more exclusive, memory comes in handy at this time, and it feels like it is slowly entering the state, and when I have done everything I remembered, I withdrew my hand, but I felt a lot more refreshed.

Is that a trick a trick? I looked at my hand, and then at the two-headed bird in my hand, it seems that I should still talk to Lao Xi, and I am also a little curious about his identity.

After class the next day, I didn't wait for Jiang Wan or Lifeng to pick me up, I took a taxi and went to the jade market, as soon as I entered the door, the clerk was there, seeing me coming, he smiled at me, "The boss is upstairs, you go to him." ”

I glanced at the staircase beside him, paused, and walked up anyway.

The second floor is a completely different design, a bit like a reception room, when I went up, Lao Xi was talking with a young man, saw me coming, just signaled me to wait, and continued to talk with the man, for a while, as if the negotiation was completed, the two people shook hands, sent the man away, Lao Xi came up, cleaned all the things on the table, and made a pot of tea again.

"I know you have a lot of questions, and I will answer them for you one by one." Lao Xi smiled. "You're curious about my identity, aren't you?"

"Hmm." I nodded, "If you know my grandfather, I should know you too, but ......"

"When your grandfather retired, you weren't born yet." Lao Xi glanced at me, "Speaking of which, you should call me, uncle." ”

"Poof——! I squirted out all the tea in one gulp. "Ahem, what?"

Lao Xi wiped his face with tea, "Don't get excited, that's right, that's what you think, I'm your grandfather's apprentice, when my grandfather was in his generation, because he caused a lot of causal debts, he reported to the juniors, my parents gave birth to five or six children, and they supported me as a result, and even my mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me, but fortunately, my master, that is, your grandfather, happened to meet it, and helped us resolve this causal debt, and my father simply let me apprentice." ”
