Chapter 26 Protagonist’s Halo
When Feng Jun saw this, his heart moved. He walked forward and squatted down, carefully looking at the stone the size of a human head.
The color of the stone is gray, similar to the stones in the river. It is slightly white, but it is not an eyesore.
But this white color made Feng Jun feel a little friendly, so he had to take out a rag and wipe it carefully.
Sure enough, the stone became whiter and whiter, showing a crystal and warm luster.
"Let me go, this is... jade?" Feng Jun became excited, his chest heaved rapidly, and his eyes were full of excitement. Although he didn't know much about jade, he also knew that jade was warm in color.
The next moment, he stood up, jumped to the side of the motorcycle, and took out the essential artifact for time travel - a magnifying glass.
Really, Feng Jun has read so many online novels, many of which have time travel themes. He has always been very unhappy with the various protagonists' neglect of the magnifying glass. This thing is really quite affordable and useful.
The magnifying glass can check whether the water source is clean, and can also help the protagonist learn about the local flora and fauna as quickly as possible. Even in the wild, when a lighter is not handy, as long as there is sunshine, it can also serve as a cigarette lighter, pretending to be flirting with girls. Yes, very touching.
Of course, what he wants to do now is one of the N uses of the magnifying glass, to examine materials or even antiques.
Feng Jun didn't know much about jade, but he knew one thing. Only if you can't see tiny bubbles under a magnifying glass, it might be jade, otherwise it would be glass!
He inspected the stone carefully to make sure he didn't find any tiny bubbles.
But the next moment, he realized a problem. If there were no bubbles... it might not necessarily be jade.
The pebbles have no bubbles yet. How much can they be sold for?
So he opened the package again and found the small gourd pendant in his old clothes, the one he bought for a hundred yuan.
The quality and texture of the pendant are very average. According to the thin shop owner, it can barely be regarded as jade, which can confuse those who don't understand.
Feng Jun doesn’t really understand, but he understands comparison, doesn’t he?
Compared with the stone, the pendant immediately eclipsed it. You can see with the naked eye that the color of the stone is better, and it is not the slightest bit delicate and soft. Although it is not transparent, the texture is extremely warm and crystal clear.
It's better than a pendant, and it's not glass, so... it should be jade, right?
Feng Jun had already concluded in his heart that it was jade. Looking at the other pebbles, he felt they were far worse than the pendant.
But why did this man die here with his jade tied to his neck?
He thought for a while before coming up with a guess: This guy was probably robbed on the boat, so he simply jumped into the river with the jade. I can't live, and I can't let you snatch the jade away!
It's quite a bit of the ancient style of "I'd rather have broken jade than complete tiles".
With such a large piece of jade, Feng Jun felt that he could sell it for between 100,000 yuan and 80,000 yuan. Although he thought that the price of the ruby would definitely not be sold in the earth world, the cost of his inspection this time would be enough. .
Of course, this is just his guess and may not be accurate.
With such a harvest, his interest greatly increased, especially since there were rocks everywhere in the river valley. Whenever he found a strange stone, he always stopped to take a look.
Unfortunately, although there were some good-looking stones, his intuition told him that when he brought those stones back, they would be regarded as "strange stones". The price was hard to say, and they were incomparable to this piece of jade.
This realization made him very depressed, but after thinking about it again, he felt relieved. If jade was as common as cabbage, would he jump into the river with the jade tied to it?
However, even though he thought so in his heart, he still couldn't help but ponder it every time he encountered a beautiful stone. As a result, he only walked more than two hundred miles the next day.
However, in the evening when he was about to set up camp, he found something else, which was a broken jade box.
It's not accurate to say it's broken. Strictly speaking, it's a jade box broken in half. It's 14 to 15 centimeters wide, 24 to 5 centimeters long, about 6 to 7 centimeters high, and about one centimeter thick.
It's a pity that the lid of the box is missing, the box is broken into two pieces, and the cracked opening is not smooth - this is a characteristic of jade, but the broken pieces fit together perfectly.
The jade quality of the jade box is somewhat similar to the jade he picked up, but it is slightly greener.
What made Feng Jun most happy was that there were obvious traces of manual processing on the box, which made him certain that this object must be jade. Otherwise, who would be so full that they could carve the stone like this?
It was a pity that the box was broken, but Feng Jun didn't care at all. Many small objects could be carved out of half a box.
To put it more bluntly, if the box was really not broken, it might be sold for a sky-high price in the real world.
This is not at all in line with his plan to make a fortune in a low-key manner.
Some people must be thinking, who is stupid enough to take such a good jade carving and turn it into a box?
Feng Jun was even more worried that someone might think that the box itself was already very impressive, so how unnatural would the contents of such a box be?
So the question arises...what's inside the box?
Since these two boxes were definitely made of jade, Feng Jun could basically estimate the price. After all, he had just been to an antique store.
The starting price is at least 30,000, and it’s normal to sell for 300,000. Well, Feng Jun still doesn’t understand jade, he can only be sure of such a large range.
Of course, he was also a little curious about what had been in the box, but his curiosity was only a little bit.
Ten birds in the forest are worth less than one in the hand. He is not a man who aims too high.
He knew very well in his heart that worrying about certain things that he shouldn't worry about would only increase his worries.
It was getting late, so Feng Jun set up his tent and ate something in a hurry. He was so excited that he played with the jade box while eating.
He played with this thing for more than two hours, and finally thought: With this thing, I don't have to go back to the warehouse this time.
That's right, he changed his mind. He wanted to go back to the warehouse before because he was too poor and couldn't bear to throw away those things. In fact, he was also thinking about taking time to go to other places and sell them after he freed up space. A modified motorcycle.
Things of unknown origin are definitely not worth the price, but it is better than nothing. He is too poor. He only has ten thousand yuan to purchase goods - with this little capital, when can he become rich?
Now he has a broken jade box in his hand, and a stone that looks like jade. There is no need for him to live so tightly. Riding a motorcycle back and forth also takes time and energy. If he has this time, he might as well spend more time. Recharge once and do more business.
Feng Jun is not pedantic in his work. He is not only independent-minded and has clear logical thinking, but also has considerable execution ability. He is a typical activist, so... change the plan.
But unfortunately, his good luck seemed to have run out on this day.
For the next three days, he found nothing.
In order to bring more supplies to make room for money, he even picked up a few strange stones that looked interesting. Even though he knew much less about strange stones than jade - there was no way, who made him short of money? If you see one, don’t let it go. Mosquitoes are also meat.
By that night, there was not much food and water, so Feng Jun decided to explore for two more days and then exit the space directly.
He doesn't need to set up those supply points on the next journey - it's a two-day journey at most, and he will build another warehouse the next time he comes, so this blank period is nothing.
On the evening of the next day, good news came. He finally walked out of the valley. There were obviously fewer mountains in front of him. When he climbed up the mountain to take a look, he could vaguely see the plains.
Feng Jun secretly praised himself: "Brother, this plan has been changed beyond words. It is more than a day's journey from the exit of the valley, and there is no supply station. In this way, we can keep our secrets to the greatest extent possible."
The next day, he did not set off in a hurry. Instead, he took out three bottles of mineral water, washed his hair and face luxuriously, and then started the last day of exploration.
However, today's exploration was relatively unsuccessful. After driving for more than an hour, he suddenly saw smoke and dust rising in front of him and a violent roar. He immediately stopped suddenly, turned off the motorcycle, and gently pushed it into a large area. Among the stones.
It was impossible for him not to watch this bustling scene, so he carefully climbed up a hill and took out his binoculars to take a look.
Among his equipment, only the telescope can be confirmed to be genuine, the 88-type military telescope, 12*42, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net second-hand product, he only spent three hundred yuan, but it was well maintained and the effect was good. Excellent.
However, when he saw the two sides clearly, he couldn't help but grin, "Damn it, what the hell... Sun Dasheng? Could it be that I entered the Journey to the West space?"
He was complaining, but he was really surprised, because the two sides fighting in front were not humans, but an orangutan and a hedgehog-like animal.
The orangutan was extremely tall, probably no more than four or five feet tall. He was holding a big tree trunk in his hand like a stick, and was hitting the hedgehog headlessly.
The hedgehog was not small either, it was about one foot tall. It huddled up and rolled around on the ground, avoiding the opponent's attacks.
However, it was not helpless. During the rolling process, the long thorns it raised would occasionally shoot out at extremely fast speeds.
The orangutan was very afraid of this move and jumped around to dodge the long thorns, but at the same time, it blocked the opponent with its trunk to prevent it from escaping.
The hedgehog has another trick. It rolls, its body suddenly bounces off the ground, and its body full of long thorns will slam into the opponent.
The sound it made when it hit the ground was very loud, and you can imagine how terrifying its force was.
The orangutan had a thorn in his shoulder and his forehead was covered in blood. He seemed to have suffered a lot.
Feng Jun watched with relish for more than half an hour, seeing the movements of both parties getting slower and slower. After the initial shock, it gradually turned into anticipation, and his breathing could not help but become rapid.
Could it be that I could encounter the legendary lose-lose situation? And then the fisherman gets a profit?
In online novels, such a plot has a cliff-hanging halo for the protagonist!
I miss Zhao Zhongxiang very much...wrong, I am very grateful to the author.
