Chapter 3: Stone Trees Make Money
As soon as Chu Qing entered the house, his sister Chu Yun trotted all the way forward and asked, "Brother, are you back, how are you, are the three guys from the Linjiang Martial Arts Hall handsome?"
"Handsome, can you still be handsome when you meet me?" Chu Qing said with a smile.
"Ah, so you won again?" Chu Yun hurriedly asked, she was a fourteen-year-old girl, and she definitely looked like a gentle, virtuous and polite type.
"Hey, I lost this time. Chu Qing cried with a sad face: "I lost a few hundred taels." ”
"Ahh
"Be quiet, lie to you!" Chu Qing glanced at his sister, took out three ingots of silver from his pocket, and said proudly: "Look at what this is, how can I lose, when have you seen me make a loss-making deal?"
"Ha, I knew you would win, my brother is the best!" Chu Yun flattered, while picking out a silver ingot with the best quality from his brother's hand, and held it in his hand with a smile: "You said that you have made so much money, and you didn't say that you will share me a little, your sister is so cute, and she is so poor......"
"You think beautiful!" Chu Qing heard that the taste was wrong, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Give it back to me!"
"Don't give it!" Chu Yun hurriedly hid the silver behind him, his chest straightened, and shouted: "It's mine in my hands!"
"Rob me of my money?!You're awesome of you!" Chu Qing turned behind Chu Yun in an ape style, and effortlessly regained his silver.
"Stingy!Wealth fan!" Chu Yun was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded.
"Pull it down, our people are more than one money fan, no one can say who is okay. Chu Qing put the silver back in his pocket and was about to go back to his room.
"I don't know if I'm back to say hello?" Daddy appeared at the door of the main house with a black face.
"Oh, Daddy. Chu Qing had no choice but to turn around and enter the main house.
"Baby, I heard that you won again, this time are the three masters of the Linjiang Martial Arts Hall?" Liu sat in the high hall of the main house and smiled: "I went to take a look today, and the business of my two shops is really good!"
"You still praise him? It's all your habit!" Chu Heng pretended to be angry, in fact, his son's martial arts cultivation is so high is also his pride, and now his son can be regarded as an invincible opponent in the whole county, Chu Heng's old face is also very bright;
"If you don't steal it, if you don't rob it, if you don't praise him, do you still scold him?" Liu glanced at her husband and pulled her son to her side with a smile.
"I really can't take care of this family's affairs!" Chu Heng stomped his feet and sat down on the chair in a huff.
"You old fellow, just mind yourselves. Liu replied casually.
Chu Heng was speechless, turned around and glared at his old wife.
Liu Shi blinked, and turned to Chu Qing: "I said, son, you are a little good now, and your parents are very happy......;
"Mother, what do you want, I'm not doing this for money!" Chu Qing hurriedly said: "I really want to see all kinds of masters, I want to see what the higher realm of martial arts cultivation is like!"
"What master realm?" Liu Shi was puzzled: "Aren't you powerful enough now?"
Chu Heng twisted his beard and didn't speak, he is also a person who practices martial arts, he can understand his son's mood a little, after a while, he raised his head and clapped his head: "Okay, I'll allow you some more time, but it's only this year; after the age of seventeen, you will honestly marry a wife and have children for me to start a family, Lao Tzu is still waiting for you to spread out and hug your grandson, look at your mother, there are still a few black hairs left in your head, how many years can you wait?"
Liu is a few years younger than Chu Heng, but he really doesn't look as young as Chu Heng......
"Yes, you can't learn from your father, you can't please a wife in your thirties!" Liu immediately counterattacked, and turned his face to his son and smiled: "Son, my mother has already found a few for you, one is the daughter of Zhang Xiucai's family in the neighboring village, don't look at it as just a Xiucai, their family has more than 200 acres of fertile land, and the girl is also handsome......; But her family is really rich!"
Chu Qing lowered his head and let his parents nag......
The sticker came earlier than expected, and it was delivered to Chu Qing the next morning, and the people invited by Jiang Tianying would come to Fushou Village to compete in two days.
The payment of the worship sticker: Guangzong Four Heroes.
Is Guangzong a county of Guangzong, four masters, four people?
If it is one of the four masters of Guangzong County, then Chu Qing is really a little drumming in his heart, Jiang Tianying must not invite ordinary people, and there are four of them, this time I am afraid that it is really possible to lose......
If he loses, it will be a thousand taels of silver, Chu Qing has already begun to feel sorry for his money, the cowhide has been blown out, and it is not easy to make up for it, it is really a mixed blessing.
At night, Chu Qing couldn't sleep over and over, a thousand taels of silver, and it was not enough to lose all his net worth.
No, you really have to prepare well this time, and you can't lose!
Chu Qing turned over and got up, walked out of the door, jumped out of the courtyard wall, and ran towards the back mountain.
The back mountain was originally the property of Chu Heng and the Liu family, and now it has been donated to the clan public, and there are many strange stones on the mountain, and the grass and trees are dense, and few people usually come, let alone at night.
Chu Qing slowed down in front of a strange stone in the shape of an ingot, this stone because of its strange shape and auspicious meaning, was called the stone of feng shui by the villagers of Fushou, and the stone was engraved with four big characters: Fu, Shou, Cai, Lu.
Chu Qing set aside the grass and trees and turned to the back of this ingot-shaped big stone, there is a stone pit here, just enough for a person to sit cross-legged, Chu Qing has come less recently, and he often practiced here two years ago.
Ordinary people need an open field to practice the Five Fowl Opera to facilitate their performance, but Chu Qing has long since needed it, and now he is mainly meditating in his mind and practicing in his heart, and a small stone pit is enough.
Chu Qing meditated in the stone pit to breathe, sat all night, and only opened his eyes when the sky was light, this night's cultivation had not gained anything, and he was stuck on the bottleneck of cultivation and could not move forward an inch.
Chu Qing stood up and stretched, well, what is that, a coin?
Chu Qing seemed to see a coin in the shadow of the tree in the haze, can he still pick up money here? He hurriedly opened the weeds and branches to take a closer look, but where is the money, just a stone.
Chu Qing hadn't noticed it before, the scene in front of him should have appeared recently, the ingot-shaped boulder had cracked a crack at some point, and a half-human-tall stone that resembled a tree grew out of the gap.
Of course, this stone tree is not so similar to the real tree, but it can still distinguish branches, trunks, and even roots, and naturally there will be no leaves on the branches, but the magic is that there is a branch that looks like a copper coin.
Chu Qing jumped up lightly and grabbed the thing that looked like a copper coin in his hand, and then the stone tree scattered and collapsed, turning into a pile of gravel scattered all over the ground.
Chu Qing took a closer look at the thing in his hand, the coin he saw in the hazy sky before should be this thing, this is a stone, a thin stone, but it really has the appearance of seven or eight copper coins, and there is even a copper coin-like square hole in the middle of the stone chip.
It's just that this stone coin is larger than an ordinary copper coin, about three times the size of a regular copper coin.
This thing is very rare, a natural stone coin, Chu Qing liked it, and easily stuffed it into his waist bag.
After returning to the village, Chu Qing didn't have anything to do, and slipped around the entrance of the village, because there was no bustle, the business of the tavern and inn was much colder, and he looked at the road in the distance, and there was no one coming, so he lazily slipped home and went home.
After taking a nap in the house and waking up, Chu Qing took out the stone money again and played with it, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, the stone actually looked like money, a strange stone.
Born with such a strange stone, what does it mean, of course, it is obviously a fortune and treasure, and wealth is prosperous.
"Okay, I'll take you as my treasure!" Chu Qing muttered to himself, and as he spoke, he took out his cash box under the bed, opened the copper lock, put the stone coin into the cash box, and locked it carefully, and put it back in its original place......
No, it doesn't feel right, there are five hundred taels of silver in this cash box, why did it suddenly become so light?!
Chu Qing hurriedly opened the money box again, where was there any five hundred taels of silver in it, not a single ingot of silver was gone, only the stone coin was still lying in the box.
No way, I saw silver in it just now!
What the hell? just kidding!
So, is it ...... Chu Qing stared at the stone coin, this thing turned my money out of thin air?
The idea is so absurd, but there is no more plausible explanation than that.
The hard-earned silver was gone in a blink of an eye, Chu Qing's heart was cold, and he sat on the ground for a long time before he finally figured out how to verify how the money was lost.
He took out a piece of loose silver from under the pillow, carefully threw it next to the stone money, and in the blink of an eye, the broken silver was gone!
The piece of silver was like a drop of water in the desert, and it disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Chu Qing was dumbfounded, he didn't even see how the broken silver disappeared, he didn't want to throw the silver into the box again, found a few copper coins and threw them in.
The copper coins disappeared quickly one after another, and this time Chu Qing saw that the copper coins were sucked into the square hole in the middle of the stone coin, which looked much smaller than the copper coin, but for some reason it could swallow the copper coin......
I thought I picked up a strange stone that attracted wealth and treasure, but I never thought that this broken stone would actually swallow money, and swallow all Chu Qing's belongings!
Chu Qing's mind was blank, and he couldn't think of how to deal with this strange thing for a while.
Can the swallowed money be spit out again? Chu Qing took the stone money in his hand, looked at it over and over again, pinched and shook it again, there was no movement, it seemed that he couldn't spit it out.
It can swallow silver and copper coins, so can it swallow other things, Chu Qing looked around, such as the copper lock?
Chu Qing stuffed the copper lock into the square hole in the middle of the stone coin, and the copper lock was intact and did not change anything.
"You're still a picky eater, aren't you!" Chu Qing became a nameless fire, the copper coin is copper, and the copper lock is also copper, and this broken stone only swallows money, not the lock; Chu Qing has added strength to his hand, and he has to stuff the copper lock into the square hole of the stone money.
"Smack!" There was a crisp sound, and the copper lock shattered into several pieces without warning, but the stone coin was intact.
The copper lock is a very hard and strong thing, and the sudden shattering startled Chu Qing, he stood up, his heart rushed to his head, grabbed the stone money and threw it towards the bluestone floor!
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, but it was terrible, the bluestone brick floor was smashed, the ground was smashed into a half-man-deep pit, the roof tiles were swept away by the stirred air waves, and the two walls of the room were cracked with several obvious cracks.
With such a fall, the whole house was almost smashed......
Chu Qing himself was also hit by the flying rubble and fell to the side, got up dizzily, and didn't care about the pain all over his body, and hurriedly went to the gravel pile to find the stone coin.
That stone coin has such great power, what an amazing treasure!
But Chu Qing searched for a long time, but he couldn't find the stone coin......
