"Well, you're honest, but what is the origin of this string of beads? I don't think it's as good as the pile of beads you bought back for five dollars. Ji Yuan said.

The stall owner replied, "It's our family's ancestral." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a boo around them, and nine out of ten of the things that came out of this antique street liked to be in the name of ancestors, and often the most unreliable, most likely fake, and liar was the so-called ancestral one, which was tacitly known to everyone, so this kid was really too tender, and he was picking on words that ruined people's favor.

However, whether it was the stall owner or Ji Yuan Lin'an, they didn't put the sighs and discussions around them in their ears.

Are stall owners stupid? Certainly not. Although his body looks thin and his net worth should not be very good, his eyes are clear, and he looks curled up in the corner, but his spine is straight, how can he be a fool? In fact, as long as he is a normal person, he knows what to say and what not to say, not to mention that this is not the first day he has been here, even if he does not deliberately inquire, he can more or less know some of the most unpleasant things in this antique street.

But he still said that it seemed to be done on purpose, so there was naturally a reason for this, was it to create an honest and honest character for himself? Or was it to test Ji Yuan? These are unknown to others, only he knows.

So what does other people's comments have to do with him, he only cares about the reaction of the person opposite him after hearing his own words.

Ji Yuan said: "Since it is an ancestral thing, then you should know the origin of this thing?"

But this time, when he heard Ji Yuan's question, the little stall owner didn't answer again, shook his head, and asked, "Are you sure you want to buy it?"

Ji Yuan smiled and said, "Naturally, didn't I just say it?"

"That's good. ”

The stall owner said, and then he began to pack up his things, and gathered the things on the ground into a pile, and then simply tied them into a bag and threw it on his shoulders, and said, "Let's go." ”

He took the lead and left here, and his bid for 200,000 yuan was still in Ji Yuan's hands.

Ji Yuan and Lin An glanced at each other and said, "Let's go with him and have a look!"

The stall owner took them to his home, and on the way Ji Yuan learned his name, Nanxi Zhao.

It's a good name, and the surname "Nan" is also uncommon.

And his home, a low-rent single room of about 20 square meters, a single bed, a table, a cabinet, a simple and clear room.

It seems that Nanxi Zhao's life is really very poor.

"Now, tell us a little bit about the origin of this string of beads. Ji Yuan raised the beads that he still held in his hand until now.

Nan Xizhao put the things on his body away, and in response to Ji Yuan's question, he pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and sat on the only bed in this room that he could sit on, and said, "I said, this is our family heirloom." ”

Ji Yuan said: "I followed you here, is it just to listen to you say this?"

There are a total of twelve beads in this string, and the appearance is ordinary, and even the color is a little dull, which is not as good as those in Nanxi Zhao who came back from the wholesale market for five yuan a wholesale, but Ji Yuan knows that it is extraordinary inside, even for Ji Yuan, who has seen a lot of good things, it is also a very good thing, and its current appearance is just its disguise.

Even if such a thing does not appear in this world in the cultivation realm, it should be in the hands of those big immortal cultivation sects or families, no matter how bad it is, it is indeed as Nanxi Zhao said that it was handed down from Nanxi Zhaozu, then there must have been immortal cultivators on the ancestors of the Nan family, or it was related to immortal cultivators.

Taking a step back, even if the ancestor of the Nan family accidentally got such a thing, and regarded it as a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation, there should be a history that needs to be remembered by future generations, after all, according to the appearance of this bead after camouflage, no one will feel that this thing is very valuable and treasure it as a treasure and pass it on from generation to generation.

Nan Xizhao pursed his lips again, the corners of his mouth moved, he wanted to open his mouth but didn't open his mouth, thinking that he was struggling with something in his heart.

Ji Yuan didn't force him, gave him time, let him think, and he turned around in the room.

The house is small, there is nothing to see, everything is very shabby, and at first glance it looks like it has been used for many years.

But there is only one thing that has been well preserved, and that is a picture frame, in which a family of three, a man and a woman, and a little boy in his arms, can be placed here, and it is self-evident who the person in this photo is.

It's just that since it's a family of three, why does Nanxi Zhao, who seems to be young, live here alone? Could it be that his parents have passed away?

If this is the case, looking at the extent to which this photo frame has been preserved, Nanxi Zhao should be very cherished by the family, in this case, shouldn't the family heirlooms be treasured? Why should they be sold?

Some thoughts flashed through Ji Yuan's mind, and then he took his eyes off the picture frame.

At this time, Nan Xizhao's voice came from behind him, and it seemed that he had thought about it.

"This bracelet is indeed our family ancestral, from my mother's side, this is what my father told me, except for that photo, this is the only thing my mother left me, but I really don't know its origin, I only know that my father was very solemn when he handed it to me, presumably for my mother This thing is really very important, and now I sell it because I need money, in my heart it is priceless, ask you for 200,000, because I need 200,000, not that it is only worth 200,000, you know？”

Ji Yuan looked at him, at this time, Nanxi Zhao didn't have the previous look of hanging his head and not wanting to say anything, but looked at Ji Yuan fixedly, his eyes were clear, so that people could see his inner thoughts at a glance.

It turned out that this string of beads actually came from Nanxi Zhao's mother's side, but the specific origin is now unknown.

Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows, his fingertips moved, rubbed the beads in his palm, felt the power of the beads, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "I know that the value of this thing is indeed not something that can be reflected by just 200,000 yuan." ”

Nan Xizhao raised his head and looked at Ji Yuan, and said with some surprise: "Do you know what it is?"

But after saying this, he laughed self-deprecatingly, and muttered, "Look at what I asked, of course you know what it is, otherwise you wouldn't have picked it out of so many strings of beads at a glance." ”

"Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said, you give me 200,000 now, and you can take it away. ”

Ji Yuan could see that when Nan Xizhao heard himself say that the value of this thing was not only 200,000, his body was obviously relaxed, it seemed that although he said that this thing was a priceless treasure in his heart, he himself also knew that this thing was probably worthless, so he was very empty in his heart when he asked for 200,000.

Ji Yuan didn't debunk this, and said: "But since it is one of the few things left by his mother, it is natural that he should treasure it, so I want to take the liberty of asking why I want to sell it?"

"Don't you see? I'm poor. Nan Xizhao sneered, his mood suddenly became low, and he muttered: "Feelings are indeed a good thing, who doesn't want to keep what they want to keep, but the days can't go on, what's the use of keeping feelings, and dying together with feelings? What's more, Dad's illness can't last anymore, I don't have a mother, I can't live without a father anymore." ”

Ji Yuan nodded, it turned out that there was such a reason, it turned out that this kid's father was still alive and sick, he had to bear his own life and his father's medical expenses at a young age, no wonder his life was so difficult, even so difficult that he had to sell the only thing his mother left behind.

Lin An next to him quietly pulled Ji Yuan's hand, Ji Yuan looked at it, the little girl couldn't bear it, she also heard Nanxi Zhao's words, it seemed that she was moved, and aroused her pity.

Ji Yuan patted her hand soothingly, took out a card and handed it to Nanxi Zhao, and said: "You asked me for 200,000 yuan, in fact, this should be your minimum budget, because you don't know how much this thing can be worth, but I'm not one who likes to take advantage of people, there are two million in it, and the password is****** You should be able to persevere until you help your father cure his illness, if it is still not enough, you can go to Ji's house to find me, there is only one rich man surnamed Ji in Yuncheng, as long as you ask, you can know where I live. ”

Nanxi Zhao didn't take Ji Yuan's card, tilted his head, his face was a little bad, and asked, "Are you pitying me?"

Ji Yuan said with a smile: "At a young age, my self-esteem is quite strong. ”

Stuffing the card into Nanxi Zhao's hand, Ji Yuan said: "Do you think I'm such a sympathetic person? I said, I just don't want to take advantage of you, you can take these two million, you can't refuse, and I don't allow you to refuse." ”

Nan Xizhao clenched the card in his hand, and lowered his head with an ugly face, but this is the case, how can he refute it, relying on the hard mouth of a dead duck to maintain his last bit of dignity, is that really dignity?

Ji Yuan raised the bead in his hand, looked at it, and continued: " To tell the truth, this thing, the world's money can't measure its value at all, if you can continue to stay by your side, one day you can find out its secrets, your life will be turned upside down, but it is also possible that you will not reveal its true face for the rest of your life, give you a word of advice, and when your father's illness is cured, you can go to find the footprints of immortal cultivators in this world, if you have the fate to step on the immortal ask, your achievement will not be low. ”
