"I won't tell you anything, I've been there, and the courtiers of the jade shop said that it might be a treasure of heaven and earth, but they can't identify it, so I'll send you to the store to take a look." ”

In fact, what Chaofeng said to Luo Chengjia is not light or heavy, it is like a stone not a stone, and this store does not accept such strange things, no matter how cheap the price is. He said that it was a treasure of heaven and earth, and although the stone was unusual, he had not received a high evaluation after looking at it before.

"If you take it back, I won't take it. The cow shopkeeper said coldly.

Luo Chengjia was silent, asked for a stone from the hand of the cattle shopkeeper, and suddenly threw the stone in a pot of water that had just been washed, and the water splashed.

The shopkeeper Niu said: "I said Lao Luo, you took the wrong medicine today, what kind of mood do you have to make me." ”

Luo Chengjia smiled and said cautiously: "Look at that stone, it is really an extraordinary thing." ”

"Let's go, put away your treasures and go out quickly, I won't worry about you this time, don't do this next time." After speaking, the shopkeeper stretched out his hand and motioned for him to go out.

"Look, what's floating in the basin?"

"Isn't it just a few vegetable leaves washed off by Shi Keqi...... The shopkeeper Niu looked at it, his eyes widened a lot, and the second half of the ugly words were swallowed into his stomach, and after digesting it for a while, it turned into other words, and spit out: "Can you float up with this stone?" It turned out that he saw a lump of yellow things floating in the basin, and asked in an incredible voice.

Luo Chengjia was deliberately pretentious just to see this scene, and at this moment his face was colorful: "Exactly, this is the most bizarre thing about it - it can float." ”

After a pause, the shopkeeper said slowly: "Impossible, how can the stone float, unless it is not a stone, is there something in the stone? Have you ever opened it?" ”

"I tried, but I couldn't get it open with all kinds of tools, but I didn't dare to hit it with a sledgehammer, because if it was broken, it would be worthless. ”

"Then you can't get this thing for my pastime, it's not suitable for ingredients, and it's not good-looking, don't, resolutely don't. The cow shopkeeper walked away and let him sit in the kitchen. Luo Chengjia and Xiang Yage's payment is settled in ten days, and it is not due today, as long as the quantity of oil is delivered, there is no need to find a cattle shopkeeper. He didn't have much hope of selling this stone, and the cattle shopkeeper didn't look down on leaving, and he didn't have much frustration, anyway, it was something that his relatives had placed on him, and he only said that it would be good if he could exchange some money, and there was no way to change it.

Just as he was taking the stone out of the basin and wiping it clean and about to put it in the cloth bag, a man grabbed his hand and said, "Since no one wants it, then I will sell it and play tricks. ”

Luo Chengjia recognized him as a handyman in the back kitchen, as if his surname was Shi. Luo Chengjia hesitated for a moment, originally wanted to sell this thing at a good price, give a copy to his relatives, and leave a share for himself. But no one asked for it, and this heart slowly faded, so he added a penny of silver to the price quoted by Shi Keqi and made a deal.

Shi Keqi held this stone, his hand trembled slightly, not heavy, less than two catties, but his hand seemed to be holding something weighing a thousand catties, and even his heart trembled. He didn't know what was going on, even if Luo Chengjia quoted a higher price just now, he would sell it with all his might. Somehow, he suddenly burst out of a sentence: "This stone was fished in the Mianshui River?" After speaking, even he was startled, why did he pop up such a sentence.

Luo Chengjia's mouth opened into an O-shape, and he paused for a moment and said: "You are really a god, I didn't say that it was fished out, how do you know." ”

Shi Keqi replied unnaturally: "My house is by the Mianshui River, and the ...... in Shijia Village, Kezhen Town, Linxian County, seems to have seen something similar when he was a child, so I guess it may be from the Mianshui River." "He had never seen such a stone since he was a child, and he didn't know why he wanted to fulfill this little lie.

Luo Chengjia suddenly became very enthusiastic and said: "You are also from Linxian County, it is a coincidence that my hometown is Hukou Town, Linxian County, oops, it is really lucky to meet a fellow villager from the same county in the provincial capital." ”

．．．．．．。

Shi Keqi has been squatting in the Zhenbei Martial Arts Hall, and now he can easily squat for an hour, which has long exceeded the standard of ordinary students. Yan Yanping has a lively temperament and beautiful appearance, and is very popular with everyone in the martial arts hall, and one day he was forced to call him senior sister on a whim. Although he is not Yan Zhenbei's apprentice, he practices martial arts in the Zhenbei Martial Arts Hall, and she is one year older than Shi Keqi, so it is reasonable to call Senior Sister Sheng.

A few years ago, Yan Zhenbei invited Shi Keqi and a few students who had been practicing martial arts for a long time to be guests, plus two apprentices and Yanping, just enough to make up a table. During the banquet, Xue Shiliu saw him, sat next to him, leaned into his ear and said: "Sweeper and do chores, I haven't seen you for a long time, the grievances last time have not been settled, when will you have time to go outside the city to play? ”

Yan Zhenbei glared at Xue Shiliu, put down his chopsticks and said, "Are you bullying people again?"

Xue Shiliu immediately denied: "No, no, I couldn't stand him last time, so I specially got closer to him this time to eliminate the estrangement between each other." ”

"Scoke, is it?"

"He didn't bully me, Xue Gongzi said that he would fund me with 1,000 taels of silver to buy a house. "A thousand taels of silver can buy a good house in Xiangzhou Mansion, which is a lot of money for the poor, even Xue Gongzi can't take out so much silver anytime and anywhere.

"Really?" Yan Zhenbei didn't believe it.

"I didn't say it. ”

"Then what did you just say, telling lies and thundering in the sky, say it, everyone listen. ”

"Anyway, I didn't say that I would fund you, I just said ...... just told you to go out to play" Xue Shiliu spoke so powerfully, pinching off the head and tail of what he just said, as if he was harmless.

Shi Keqi smiled and sandwiched a meatball, stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "This meatball is fragrant and juicy, it must be the craftsmanship of my senior sister." ”

Yan Yanping pursed her lips and smiled, picked up another ball and put it into Shi Keqi's bowl, and said, "If it's delicious, you can eat a few more." Xue Shiliu's brows furrowed obviously.

He was like this on purpose, as smart as he had guessed that Xue Shiliu was interesting to her, maybe this was still the main purpose of Xue Shiliu to follow Yan Zhenbei to learn martial arts. If you don't follow the virtue of this disciple, you won't be able to endure the hardships of martial arts, and you won't be used to having a master's discipline on your head.

This meal is the farewell meal of the martial arts hall this year, and soon everyone has finished eating, tomorrow Yan Zhenbei and his daughter will return to their hometown for the New Year, and the rest will go back to their respective homes and find their mothers.

Xiangya Pavilion did not close for the New Year in previous years, and always had to leave some people to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner booked by guests, and this year because Master Zhu left, the new chef must go home, so he also had a holiday before the year and went to work on the tenth day of the new year. Shi Keqi didn't want to go back to Shijia Village for the time being, because he hadn't found his grandfather yet, and he had already agreed with the cow shopkeeper to live in the backyard. He had been studying the stone for the past few days, and he had no clue except for the inexplicable heartbeat of that day, and he couldn't see what it was, so he wrapped the stone in several layers of oiled paper and put it under the bed.
