On the rough cross section, there is a pile of earth-yellow calcified material, which is the same as the surface of the original stone. There is no trace of green.
"How could it be possible? How could it be like this? It's impossible." Jia Baiyuan picked up a stone on the table and held it in his arms with a sad look on his face.
"The Meng family has such a great skill in Xiangshi, how could it be gone without saying a word?"
Jia Baiyuan held the lightless stone in his arms and sat down on the sofa next to him, his heart full of bitterness.
The failure to protect Meng Yan resulted in the loss of the Meng family's secret knowledge of Xiangshi. Not only did the Jia family lack a trump card against the Shen family, but Jia Baiyuan would also have no face to face Meng Yan's grandfather Shi Zhongxian decades later.
ah.
"well."
Thinking of this, Jia Baiyuan sighed deeply.
Seeing Jia Baiyuan like this, Jia Longtang felt sad in his heart and couldn't help but stepped forward and patted his nephew on the shoulder.
"Bai Yuan, don't be discouraged."
"Perhaps little friend Meng Yan is just injured and hasn't healed properly yet, so he won't be able to use the Meng family's special skill of Xiangshi for the time being."
"Let little friend Meng Yan go home and recuperate for a few days. When his injury heals, maybe this is a false alarm," Jia Longtang comforted.
"Oh, I hope so." Jia Baiyuan sighed and said as if to comfort himself.
Jia Longtang leaned close to Jia Baiyuan's ear and asked softly.
"Bai Yuan, let me tell you something."
"Can you send some Xiangshi masters from Kyoto?"
"What's wrong? Why do you suddenly need to call in some Xiangshi masters?" Jia Baiyuan asked.
"Didn't we just successfully hold an auction in Lake City?"
"In the next few days, the Shen family will send the local Shen family from Lake City to come over and compete in a restaurant with us," Jia Longtang said.
After hearing Jia Longtang's words, Jia Baiyuan subconsciously rubbed his forehead, showing a helpless look.
It was really a leaky house and it rained all night, so the Shen family came to play at the restaurant when Meng Yan's special skills of Xiangshi were not available.
"I will arrange it." Jia Baiyuan said.
Jia Longtang's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"I knew you still had something to do. You still have someone in your hands at the Kyoto headquarters, right?"
"Where can I find anyone?" Jia Baiyuan said helplessly.
"Nanning Jade Company has just been established in Hu City and has not yet established a firm foothold. I have just become the president of the Jade Association. All the people in my family who are somewhat capable have been sent out. I don't have a fire brigade on hand.
.”
"If the Shen family comes to play in the restaurant again, I will have no choice but to grow up among the younger ones and the shorter ones." After Jia Baiyuan said this, he stood up and looked helplessly at Meng, who was sitting on a chair not far away.
Yan.
"Come on, Meng Yan, I'll take you back." Jia Baiyuan said.
"You should take good care of yourself these days. If you have any difficulties, please call me. I will try my best to satisfy you."
Meng Yan nodded, looking at Jia Baiyuan's worried eyes, a trace of guilt flashed through his heart again.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Jia." Meng Yan said secretly in his heart.
"If I'm exposed now, it will definitely cause the Shen family to chase me crazily."
Jia Baiyuan sent Meng Yan back to the rental house in Hu City, and the two of them were silent all the way in the car.
In the evening, Meng Yan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
He simply got up, took off the jade pendant given to him by his grandfather from his chest, held it in his hand and observed it.
Meng Yan just took off the jade pendant, and a golden light flashed in his eyes, and everything around him slowed down instantly.
Meng Yan put the jade pendant on the bed and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. As soon as he looked up in front of the mirror, he discovered that the wounds on his face that originally looked bloody were healing at a slow but visible speed.
Meng Yan was shocked. After washing her hands, she immediately returned to the room, took the jade pendant outside the living room, and lay in the bedroom, falling into a deep sleep.
The next day, just after dawn, Meng Yan climbed out of bed and hurried to the bathroom.
Looking at his face in the mirror, which was intact as before, without any scars, Meng Yan stretched out his hand in disbelief and touched his cheek.
It's true, I'm not dreaming.
When I left the hospital yesterday, the wound on my face was still wrapped like a rice dumpling. At this moment, it has completely healed, and there is not even a scar left on my face.
Looking at his own eyes in the mirror, the original black pupils had turned into blood red and shrunk into a flat oval shape. There was also a circle of golden light around the pupils, just like a vampire in myths and legends.
Meng Yan thought about it, and finally walked to the living room, took out the jade pendant left by his grandfather, and put it around his neck.
As soon as I put it on my neck, I felt a severe dizziness, but it was much less severe than when I took the jade pendant back on the highway a few days ago.
Meng Yan held on to the table next to him, shook his head and calmed down for a while, then returned to normal.
Returning to the bathroom again, Meng Yan raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror. His pupils had returned to black, no different from ordinary people.
Meng Yan smiled, washed and tidied up, put on clothes and walked out of the rental house.
He is going to the hospital now to pay Duo'er's one million medical bills.
When they arrived at the hospital, Meng Yan saw Duo'er lying on the hospital bed. Due to the good treatment she received, although Duo'er's condition did not get better, it did not continue to worsen. There were even two rosy touches on her originally pale cheeks.
Meng Yan looked at Duo'er whose condition was under control and felt much better instantly.
"Dad." At this time, Duo'er no longer slept in the hospital bed every day as before. In addition to being relatively weak and unable to get out of bed, Duo'er could already talk and communicate with others.
"Duo'er, daddy is here." Meng Yan stroked his daughter's hair with infinite love in his eyes.
"Dad, when will Duo'er be discharged from the hospital?" Duo'er raised her little head and asked innocently.
"It's almost here, don't worry, Duo'er."
"Dad has collected the money for Duo'er's medical expenses, and a bone marrow donor has been found."
"After Duo'er has the operation, she will be able to return to normal like other children and go out to play happily."
Hearing this, Duo'er smiled slightly, with two shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks.
"dad."
"A mysterious and beautiful elder sister came to see me today. She said that she was Duo'er's bone marrow donor."
Hearing this, Meng Yan couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.
"Duo'er, when did that big sister come and what does she look like?" Meng Yan couldn't help but ask.
Duo'er tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then spoke with some embarrassment.
