Chapter 248: Baby?
Ying Xiang's free and easy attitude towards Yuan Shi surprised the middle-aged man and Hong Susu.
Hong Susu couldn't help but giggle, clapped his palms and said, "It's the first time I've heard such a fresh and refined reason." ”
"Wait, I have something to say. Since you don't need the Yuan Stone, I have other precious things. The middle-aged man gritted his teeth. He looked around warily, then turned and closed the door of the pharmacy.
What kind of rhythm is this, Shen Han only felt a little nervous. Why does it feel like entering a black shop? Could it be that this middle-aged man and the girl are in a gang and want to rob money and sex?
The middle-aged man casually released a soundproof cover and blocked all the sound in this small shop. After doing all this, the middle-aged man took out a fist-sized item from his arms.
The middle-aged man said: "This is a treasure that I got unintentionally, even if I even mortgaged the ancestral treasure because of my son's serious illness, but I have never been willing to sell it." ”
The middle-aged man is so mysterious, even if Ying Xiang is not greedy for exotic treasures, his curiosity is aroused. It was a dark but faint blue glow like a piece of iron, and it had a very strange shape.
"Huh?" Shen Han let out an exclamation.
"Do you know this?" asked Ying Xiang curiously.
"It looks familiar, but I can't remember what it is. Shen Han scratched his head and said.
Seeing that Yingxiang was interested in this thing, the middle-aged man immediately stuffed the thing in his hand into Yingxiang's hand, and said generously: "You have to take a good look at my baby, it's definitely a good thing." ”
The fist-sized piece of metal was cold to the touch, and it felt heavy to the touch, and it was better than all the metal that Eagle Xiang had ever seen before. Whether it is iron or pure gold, it seems that it is not as good as the dark and blue metal in his hand.
Ying Xiang took a closer look and found that this thing seemed to be a handicraft, and the surface was polished very smooth. This spherical object has twelve faces, each of which is exactly the same size and shape.
Each side is not a complete unit, but is made up of small lattices of different sizes, with patterns on them. However, the pattern on each grid seems to be different, and it does not form a complete pattern.
It's a very strange gadget, Ying Xiang tried to turn it with his hand, and found that every side could be turned. As the whole shape remains the same as it turns, only the order of the lattices is disrupted.
Ying Xiang thought it was very interesting, and kept twisting the gadgets in his hand, and the order of the lattices was constantly disrupted, but he could not put together a complete pattern.
"I remembered!" Shen Han watched Ying Xiang keep playing with this gadget, and suddenly snapped his head and remembered something.
"Well, do you know this thing?" the middle-aged man was the first to ask, but he hadn't figured out what the treasure in his hand was.
"Wait, I've got to take a good look and make sure it's the one I had in mind. Shen Han said.
Ying Xiang handed the piece of iron in his hand to Shen Han, and Shen Han took it with great interest. Shen Han kept twisting the gadgets in his hand, as if he knew something.
"Hey, okay, take a look. After a while, Shen Han returned the things in his hand to Ying Xiang.
Eagle Xiang was surprised to find that one of the faces was completely put together, although the other faces were still messy, but it was already rare. Yingxiang has just been tossing for a long time, and he hasn't even put together a single noodle.
The middle-aged man's eyes widened on the side, and he couldn't believe it: he could really put together a face. This thing has been in his hands for more than two years, and he has twisted it at least a thousand times in private, trying to put together the pattern to solve the secret of this treasure, but it is always in vain, and he can't even put together a single face.
"That...... Go on, put all the noodles together. The middle-aged man said to Shen Han.
Shen Han rolled his eyes and said, "No, I will only fight this one." ”
The middle-aged man was very anxious, and intuitively he felt that if all the patterns on the surface were put together, there might be unexpected surprises. But Shen Han is only half-toned, which is very disappointing.
"It's useless. The middle-aged man said angrily.
"Hey, how do you speak? You can go up, put together all the patterns on these twelve faces. Shen Han stopped doing it, he really didn't have a backache when he stood and talked, and he had racked his brains in order to put together this pattern.
The middle-aged man was so choked that he couldn't speak, he was not as good as Shen Han, and he couldn't even spell out a face. However, one of the assembled noodles gave him hope, and it turned out that this thing could really be put together.
"This... What the hell is it?" asked Ying Xiang curiously. Even Hong Susu, who had always been cold on the side, was curious, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at the thing in Yingxiang's hand without blinking.
"Hehe, you don't know each other, this is called Ruyi dice, and it's an interesting gadget from Western Xinjiang. Shen Han introduced triumphantly.
"Ruyi dice, could it be some kind of treasure unique to Western Xinjiang?" the middle-aged man said suspiciously.
"Pull it down, what a treasure, if this is a treasure I wouldn't have recognized, it's a toy, for the amusement of children. Shen Han said.
He didn't dare to say that he knew anything else, but he was still a little expert when it came to eating, drinking, and having fun. He was obsessed with playing this Ruyi dice for a while, and now there are probably several of them in his private treasure trove in the clan.
"Toy, won't you?" the middle-aged man couldn't believe Shen Han's conclusion.
"The normal wishful dice are six-sided, a boxy block, also known as the Rubik's Cube. Each side is divided into nine squares of the same size, and each side is of a different color or has a different pattern painted on it. Each side can be twisted to disrupt the original neat grid, or it can be put back together. Shen Han said.
The things Shen Han described sounded very similar to the gadgets that Ying Xiang was holding in his hand, and all the characteristics were more consistent.
The middle-aged man said, "It can't be a simple toy, right? After all, this thing is made of star iron." Xingchen Iron, you know, this is a very precious refining material. ”
Ying Xiang subconsciously asked, "Which is more expensive, Xingchen Iron or Pure Gold?" He didn't know anything about precious refining materials, and the only measure was that what was expensive was good.
The middle-aged man said: "Of course it's Xingchen Iron, Xingchen Iron is ten times more expensive than Pure Gold." Don't look at this treasure as big as it gets, just when the materials are sold, they are worth thousands of yuan. ”
Shen Han was dumbfounded, this is too expensive.
The middle-aged man was still a little unwilling, and he asked Shen Handao: "Is this really just an ordinary wishful dice? It must be a treasure to be made from such precious materials." ”
Shen Han said: "I haven't seen Ruyi dice made of Xingchen Iron before, but I have seen Ruyi dice made of jade and ivory in the larger market. But we are a small place there, and jadeite and ivory are already considered top-notch materials, and they are worth enough for ordinary people to use for a lifetime. ”
The middle-aged man wondered: "It's just a toy, it's good to make it from ordinary wood, is it necessary to spend such a lot of money on special materials?"
Shen Han said: "You don't know this, some scumbags are willful, if they like something, they are willing to spend a lot of money."
However, we are a small and poor place in the countryside, and the people outside are richer, so it is not impossible to make a Ruyi dice out of Xingchen Iron. ”
The reason why the middle-aged man clutched this thing was because he believed that it was a treasure, the material was particularly precious and the structure was complex, and all the features were in line with the characteristics of the mysterious treasure.
Now that Shen Han said it, it was like being poured on the head by a scoop of cold water, and it was a toy made out of a ruined thing for a long time.
