Chapter 208: A Piece of Blood Jade
I tapped my fingers on the handle of the chair, and when I was thinking about what to do with the person in front of me, the man glared at Qiu Aoshuang behind me fiercely: "Aoshuang, how can you mix with this kind of person?" Hurry up and come over to me! β
"Dad, listen to my explanation......" Qiu Aoshuang's expression was extremely embarrassed, and she wanted to reach out and pull the other party away, but the man flicked his sleeves fiercely: "Just say it here!" β
Qiu Aoshuang had no choice but to tell us what happened after we rushed to the mourning hall.
I gently touched Yu Xingyang beside me: "What's the matter?" β
Yu Xingyang smiled bitterly: "That person's name is Qiu Baiye, a very famous scholar. Although he is a literati, he has a bit of chivalry in his bones. He is most disgusted with others bullying others, and he must take care of it when he sees it. β
"Originally, he and Lao Ba would never have anything to do with each other in their lives, but once when he was nosy, he was surrounded by a few gangsters, and it happened that Lao Ba passed by and saved him, and since then, the two have become friends."
Yu Xingyang looked at my face: "Lao Qiu is my friend, the two of us have been friends for a long time, otherwise Qiu Aoshuang would not call me uncle." He is a very good person, and he does things right, not people, if there is something offended, you will bear more, and I will make amends for you with wine for him. β
While the two of us were talking, Qiu Baiye's face had softened, but his anger was still there: "Even if the other party is aggressive, he shouldn't hurt people casually!" This kind of person is too domineering......"
Tan Yue said coldly: "This gentleman is talking too extremely, right?" If we were just ordinary people who came to buy blood jade, we would be the ones lying on the ground today, and even if we took the money for nothing, we wouldn't get the blood jade. β
"But you're not ordinary people!" Qiu Baiye snorted coldly: "As long as you show a certain strength, they won't dare to make a mistake, you can sit down and negotiate a solution." β
"Haha......" I stood up with my hands behind my back: "I came to find the blood jade this time to save your friend Yu Xingyang." Of course, I can also sit down and bargain with them calmly. But if we do that, we will definitely not be able to get the blood jade in one day. Without clues, we can't do anything but wait for death. After we get the blood jade, maybe Yu Xingyang's corpse will already be cold. β
I strolled to Qiu Baiye: "I haven't studied for a few days, and I can't think of any other way except for the rivers and lakes." Can you teach me how to bring the blood jade at that time? β
"This ......" Qiu Baiye was speechless when I asked.
I smiled faintly, and was just about to return to my seat, but Qiu Baiye suddenly said: "Young man, I advise you not to be too domineering, otherwise you will be killed." β
If I thought Qiu Baiye's stubbornness was a little cute just now, then his sentence really aroused my anger: "Since you say that I am domineering, then I still do the bad guy to the end." β
I raised the watch on my wrist: "Within half an hour, I will see the blood jade, and I won't give a penny." As long as the deadline is exceeded, I will immediately blow up the mourning hall and expose the corpse of the eighth child to the wilderness. β
By the time I finished speaking, I had already pulled explosives out of my backpack and threw them on the glass coffin. The people closest to the coffin were so frightened that they stood up on the spot.
"Give me all back!" Tan Yue fired several shots in succession, forcing the person back to his original position: "Within half an hour, either you will see something, or you will be turned into minced meat with the dead." You can also choose to stand up now and see if you can get out alive. β
"You...... You ......" Qiu Baiye's face turned blue with anger, and he pointed at me, unable to say a word.
I sat back in place with a cold face: "I just like to be domineering with others, what can you do?" β
Qiu Aoshuang hurriedly supported Qiu Baiye, whose body was crumbling: "You are too much!" β
When I was about to speak, the young woman who had been kneeling by the coffin suddenly said, "Half an hour later, I will send the blood jade to Mr. Yu's house." Now please don't disturb the peace of starlings. β
There was some undoubted meaning in the other party's tone: "If you can't trust me, I can go with you immediately and take you to find the blood jade." β
I gave a thumbs up: "You're so much better than those people, I can trust you." Let's go. β
I stood up and strode out of the mourning hall with Tan Yue and Yu Xingyang before asking, "Who is that woman?" β
Yu Xingyang said: "I haven't seen it." I only know that the eighth child often told us before his death that he had a girl named Ni Yuanyuan. We all thought it was the outer room of his golden house, and we joked with him a few times, but the eighth child turned his face on the spot, saying that he and Ni Yuanyuan were pure brother and sister, and we didn't ask much later. β
Yu Xingyang paused and said, "The eighth child's subordinates all call her the second sister-in-law. The relationship between them is not clear. β
"Oh." I didn't ask any further, I wasn't interested in the relationship between Lao Ba and Ni Yuanyuan, what I was most concerned about was when that piece of blood jade would appear.
Almost half an hour later, Ni Yuanyuan arrived, holding a dark red brocade box in her left hand and a little girl in her right hand. The little girl didn't recognize her life, and after seeing me, she took the initiative to say to me: "Uncle, my name is Xiaoxian, what's your name?" β
"My name is Li Xi." I crouched down to shake the little girl's hand before I looked up at Ni Yuanyuan. The latter put the brocade box on the table: "This is what you want." β
I gave Yu Xingyang a look, and he arranged for the servant to take Xiaoxian away, and I slowly opened the brocade box.
There was a piece of jade about two inches wide and three or four inches long, with a thick bottom and a thin head. The stone would have been a good material for a seal if it had been erected, but when it was placed flat in a box, it would have been thought to be a tongue that had just been cut off from a person's body.
When I looked at Yu Xingyang, the latter immediately nodded and said, "That's right, it's this jade." I have seen a lot of collectors' collections, and it is the first time I have seen blood jade with such a vivid color. β
I reached out and picked up the jade and looked at it for a long time before handing it to Tan Yue.
Blood jade refers to the jade that has penetrated the blood, not natural jade. Whether it is jadeite, Hetian jade, topaz and other categories, as long as it is really bloody, it is blood jade. The word blood jade is rarely used among collectors, and it is generally called blood Qin.
Ancient people believed that the formation of blood jade was related to corpses. When a person is buried, the jade as a jade is forcibly stuffed into the population, if the person has just died, the jade that is swallowed in one breath is stuffed in, it will fall into the throat with the qi and enter the place with dense blood vessels; After a thousand years, the dead blood is stained, and the blood goes straight to the heart of the jade, and a gorgeous blood jade will be formed. This kind of thing often falls on the skull's swallow, and is the most precious of all the corpses.
Modern people believe that the formation of blood jade is the result of the absorption of iron in the burial goods by the jade, and the oxidation of the iron substance into the jade.
But no matter which theory it is, blood jade is inseparable from the word tomb. The blood of the jade must be the result of being buried for thousands of years, so the blood jade must not be worn easily without treatment, otherwise, the yin qi accumulated on it alone is enough to kill people.
The piece of blood jade in my hand should be genuine, otherwise the eighth child would not be in a hurry to find Mr. Jing to clean the blood jade.
Tan Yue also shook his head: "Except for some temperature, I can't see anything special, not even a trace of yin." β
I couldn't help but look at Ni Yuanyuan. The jade itself does not heat up, and there is a temperature on it, either from sunlight or as a result of being taken by someone to absorb the body temperature. If this piece of blood jade has been placed in a brocade box and no one touches it, it will not carry temperature. Before the blood jade was brought, someone played with it?
If that's the case, Ni Yuanyuan's previous performance can't be trustedβhow can a person who is already heartbroken still be in the mood to play with jade? Or maybe the jade was on her in the first place.
Looking back on the scene just now, it really doesn't feel right. Since Ni Yuanyuan wants Lao Bashun to enter the ground smoothly, why didn't she say it when I made a big fuss in the mourning hall? Why did I have to wait until I seriously injured Zheng Xiaomei before I spoke under her correction?
Ni Yuanyuan looked at me with an unchanged expression and said, "Mr. Li, can you talk about it alone?" β
