Seeing the three of them, he harrumphed and bumped Chen Xuyao's shoulder forcefully before calling out to Zhan Qiuhe to continue walking inside, as he still held a grudge against them for leaving him behind.
"Idiot!" Chen Xuyao rubbed his shoulder. His face was scrunched up in pain. He cursed before he continued to follow them.
He thought to himself, 'Fourth Bro is picking on the weak. Why didn't Third Bro and Third Sister-in-law bump into the people in front of them?'
When they returned to Elder Cai's courtyard, it was indeed a lot livelier than before. Beside Elder Cai was a man who looked very similar to him. She guessed that he was Elder Cai's son.
"It seems very peaceful today." Lu Xingzhi held Jiang Yao's hand as they stood beside Elder Cai.
Elder Cai turned to look at Lu Xingzhi and then at Jiang Yao. He nodded and said, "This is only the first piece."
Elder Cai was watching from the side. Another master was in charge of cutting the stone.
Jiang Yao's gaze shifted to the people who were holding the stones. She saw Huang Seung-jeong talking to his assistant. He did not notice her gaze, so Jiang Yao did not walk over to greet him.
It could be said that the whole process of cutting the stone was soul-stirring. Sometimes, when the knife went down, the surrounding people even held their breaths. When they saw that there was green, everyone began to shout again. When the knife went down again, the buyer of the raw stone immediately hugged his head and cried.
The stone he had bought for 150,000 yuan had turned into a piece of scrap worth less than 150 yuan.
This was the ups and downs of life. He had spent 150,000 yuan. At first, he saw the hope of getting 1.5 million yuan, but in the end, he only got 150 yuan back.
Just as Lu Xingzhi had described it in the beginning, stone gambling was really a very exciting thing, but it would make people lose everything.
Because of the cold, Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao left the Purple Orchid Garden after less than two hours. Chen Xuyao, on the other hand, was still in high spirits as he accompanied Chen Xuyao. Chen Xuyao, on the other hand, was accompanying the girl he had a crush on.
When Jiang Yao got into the car, Lu Xingzhi turned on the heater in the car and helped her fix her loose hat. "Sit in the car and wait for a while." Then, he got out of the car and walked into a shop. When he returned, he had a cup of steaming chrysanthemum tea with rock sugar in his hand.
"Drink some if you're thirsty. If you're not thirsty, hold it to warm your hands." Lu Xingzhi stuffed the cup into Jiang Yao's hands and started the car.
Lu Xingzhi drove faster than Jiang Yao. When they reached home in Jin City, he took off Jiang Yao's jacket and tucked her under the blanket. Then, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Jiang Yao could tell that this guy had been a vegetarian for half a month and was eager to eat meat tonight.
In the bathroom, after taking a shower, Lu Xingzhi looked at the scar on his chest in the mirror. He did not know what medicine Jiang Yao had given him, but his wound healed faster than the average person. However, there was still a scar left.
The scar was a few inches long and looked like a giant ugly centipede.
Lu Xingzhi had been in the army all these years and had accepted all kinds of missions. What kind of injuries had he not suffered? However, this was the first time he had complained like a woman about a wound that would leave a scar. He wondered if Jiang Yao would mind if she saw it.
Because of the hot air in the bathroom, the mirror was hazy as if it was covered with a layer of film. The reflection in the mirror was vague.
