Chapter 287 Your Jade Pendant is a Street Stall Item
The spirited old man's eloquent talk completely confused Liang Yan.
Although he likes to play, he is still a good student.
What the old man just said is really true.
But if he were asked to explain it, I guess he wouldn't be able to do it so comprehensively.
Liang Yan scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Are you a history teacher?"
The old man smiled mysteriously and said, "I have never been to school. The reason I know all this is because I have experienced it myself."
After the sound fell, the old man took out a jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Liang Yan, and said with a smile: "Take this jade pendant first, it's a deposit for you."
"I'll give you a day to think about it. If you agree, come to this place to find me tomorrow. If you don't agree, then you have to return the jade pendant to me tomorrow."
Liang Yan took the jade pendant in his hand in a daze. The next second, the old man suddenly disappeared!
Liang Yan's eyes widened instantly, his teeth chattered, and a chill rushed from his spine to his forehead.
He looked around in horror, his body trembling uncontrollably, the jade pendant in his hand almost slipping off. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, and his lips turned pale due to extreme fear.
"This...what's going on? Where are the people?" His voice was trembling with uncontrollable fear. His legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. His mind went blank and he was completely unable to comprehend the incredible scene before his eyes.
After a long pause, Liang Yan finally felt a little bit of strength restored. Then he ran away madly and left the park.
With no home to return to, he had no choice but to return to the Internet cafe.
He waited at the door for a while, and after confirming that there were no policemen, he went in.
The Internet cafe owner glanced at him and smiled: "How dare you come back? Sorry for today, the police came here suddenly to investigate the case. It's not the usual inspection. So I didn't receive any notice!"
After the voice fell, the boss looked at the network administrator and said, "Open a new machine for this little brother, and give him a bottle of drink and a bucket of instant noodles!"
Liang Yan instantly showed a look of delight, and kept saying that the boss was generous and particular.
"Um...Brother, can you add some sausage to the instant noodles?"
The boss smiled speechlessly: "Little guy, since you said it, just add one!"
During the conversation, the boss's eyes fell on Liang Yan's hand and asked casually: "What is that thing in your hand?"
"Ah?" Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, then he stretched out his hand and said, "A jade pendant, given to me by a friend."
"Jade pendant?" The boss stepped forward and said, "It has a nice luster. Let me have a look!"
Liang Yan half-jokingly asked: "Brother, do you know jade?"
The boss nodded slightly: "I know a little bit. My old man likes to collect these things, so I learned a little from him."
Liang Yan handed the jade pendant over without any precautions, and then said with a smile: "Brother, can you help me see if this thing is valuable?"
The boss held the jade pendant in his hand, and under the light, it showed a warm and delicate luster.
There is an exquisite landscape painting carved on the front, with undulating mountains and gurgling water, as if the agility and tranquility of the entire nature are condensed in this small piece of jade.
Gently touch the surface of the jade pendant with your fingers, and a cool and warm touch instantly spreads throughout your body.
The boss silently admired the exquisite jade pendant, both the material and the carving craftsmanship were top-notch.
"Little brother." The boss smiled harmlessly and said, "Your jade pendant is made of artificial synthetic materials. It can be sold for five yuan at the street stall."
"But the landscape painting here looks good. I like it very much."
"It just so happens that my old man's birthday is coming up, and I'm worried about what gift to give him!"
"Can you please sell me this jade pendant? I'll find a carving master to carve this landscape pattern onto a piece of real jade."
"I know you often come to our Internet cafe. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss."
"How about this, if you agree, I'll give you ten dollars so you can have breakfast tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Liang Yan cursed inwardly. He didn't know whether the old man who suddenly disappeared was a human or a ghost. He made a street stall to fool the children!
Liang Yan gave the boss a thumbs up: "Brother, don't say anything, you are too particular!"
"From now on, I will go online only at your house. I won't even look at other Internet cafes!"
"Wait, I'll introduce some of my friends and classmates to you to show their support!"
"It's settled!" The boss laughed and patted Liang Yan on the shoulder: "Little brother, you are pretty good, straightforward."
"Network administrator, give this little brother ten dollars. Also, give him a bag of potato chips!"
As the boss spoke, she carefully placed the jade pendant in her handbag.
Liang Yan was sitting in front of the computer, eating potato chips and playing games, and had completely forgotten what the old man had said.
As for the park, only a fool would go there!
It was six o'clock in the morning when I came out of the Internet cafe.
Liang Yan had a portion of steamed dumplings at a nearby breakfast shop, along with a bowl of century egg and lean meat congee.
Then he came to the classroom and fell asleep on the table.
The whole day passed in a daze. After school in the evening, Liang Yan went straight home.
After a quick wash, I fell asleep.
He didn't know how long he slept, but he dreamed of the old man he met last night!
He knew he was dreaming, but he couldn't wake up.
In the dream, the old man stopped smiling from yesterday, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold: "You little bastard, you have no integrity!"
Liang Yan was terrified: "You...how come you appeared in my dream!"
The old man snorted coldly and sneered: "I told you yesterday that I am from the Ming Dynasty. I am a ghost cultivator who has lived for more than 600 years!"
"Don't even mention appearing in your dreams. I can even make sure you never wake up!"
The old man took a step forward, and the chill in his eyes became even stronger: "Humph, I gave you the jade pendant last night, but today, you broke your promise. Naturally, I have to come to you to ask you clearly, do you agree or not!"
"If you don't agree, just give the jade pendant back to me. I won't make things difficult for you!"
Liang Yan had a sad face and a sobbing voice: "I...you...you are deliberately trying to trick me, aren't you?"
"I asked someone to look at your jade pendant, and they said it was cheap merchandise, not even worth five bucks!"
"That guy said he liked the landscape painting above, and he gave me ten dollars, so I sold it!"
"What the hell!!!" The old man blew his beard and glared, he was so angry that he wanted to slap Liang Yan to death.
"You little bastard, that's a jade pendant from the Ming Dynasty! It's an antique now!"
"Even if it's not priceless, it can at least be sold for several million!"
"I don't care. If you can't return the jade pendant, you have to do me this favor! Otherwise, I will fucking kill you!"
Just then, the alarm clock on the bedside table rang.
Liang Yan heard it clearly, but he couldn't open his eyes.
ps: It’s the last day of August 2024...
I will update three chapters a day in September, and I’m writing this as a testimony.
So, can I ask for some love to generate electricity?
