C1 The Treasure Was Cheated
After dinner, his mother went to wash the dishes while his father took a breather in the yard. Chu Jiang turned on the TV and changed the set to a few other sets. Suddenly, he saw a pretty girl holding a bronze plate with an appraisal program on it for experts to appraise.
"Bam!"
The glass in Chu Jiang's hand directly smashed onto the table. The glass shattered and the glass fragments stabbed into Chu Jiang's palm.
The girl was called Lee Ruoxue, the daughter of the village chief. She was as beautiful as a flower and as pretty as jade. She used to ignore Chu Jiang until she found out that Chu Jiang had a copper plate in his house, then she started to hook up with Chu Jiang. But after a week, she already asked Chu Jiang to sell her the copper plate, and Chu Jiang didn't know the value of the plate, so he said he would give it to her. Lee Ruoxue insisted on buying it. In the end, she gave Chu Jiang 10 yuan and got him to write a transfer certificate.
On the second day after she obtained the copper plate, Lee Ruoxue cut off all contact with Chu Jiang.
Previously Chu Jiang was puzzled, but now he understood. There was someone in the village who drank pesticide for the loss of 10,000 yuan. This was one million yuan. It was a good thing that his parents didn't watch this program!
"What's wrong, son of a bitch?" His father, Chu Dafu, who was smoking in the yard and enjoying the cool air, walked into the room.
"I'm fine." Chu Jiang quickly changed stations.
"It's fine, your hands are bleeding!" Only after he mentioned it did Chu Jiang feel the pain. Seeing that he had lost a lot of blood, he hurriedly used his other hand to press on the wound, and a burning sensation suddenly appeared, as if something had drilled into the wound, and quickly spread through his entire body along his arm.
Chu Jiang's face turned pale from the pain. His body felt like it was on fire. Sweat kept pouring out. This burning sensation made his skin bulge every time it passed through, as if a worm was moving through his flesh.
Very quickly, this qi stayed in his lower abdomen and stopped moving.
However, Chu Jiang could feel the presence of the Qi. He tried to drive it, but the Qi could move as he wished.
Just when Chu Jiang was wondering, Chu Dafu had already brought the medicine. After he applied the medicine, Chu Jiang tried to circulate the qi. When the qi reached his palm, the wound actually felt a little itchy.
Chu Jiang followed the example of a master on TV and struck out with his palm. He originally thought that he would be able to break the table with one palm strike, but the table didn't move at all.
Chu Jiang frowned, and the itchy feeling on his palm became more and more intense. He removed Chu Dafu's bandage and saw that his wound started to heal within such a short period of time.
The wound was right under his nose, and it healed bit by bit. It did not take long for a scar to heal and tender pieces of flesh to grow out from the wound.
Then a wave of sleepiness hit him. Chu Jiang went back to his room and fell asleep right away. He had a dream. He dreamt that he was in an ancient room filled with medical books, flipping through them one by one.
Every time he flipped through a book, the contents of the book would be memorized by him.
After waking up, Chu Jiang felt refreshed and a lot of medical knowledge that did not belong to him appeared in his mind. It was as if he had memorized it countless times and merged it with his own memories, making it extremely clear.
All kinds of knowledge regarding medicinal herbs, the secret formula to concoct all kinds of medicinal herbs, the acupuncture points of the human body, all sorts of unheard-of medical techniques, as well as the method to cultivate that surge of energy in one's body...
He was sure that the knowledge in his mind was hundreds of times richer than the information in the Compendium of Materiel!
If he could use this knowledge effectively, he would definitely be able to do something about it in the medical field. That was because this knowledge was able to treat all kinds of difficult diseases in the world.
Even in the eyes of modern people, as long as he practiced the Qi within his body to a certain level, he could cure his incurable disease.
… ….
Three days later, Lee Ruoxue returned to the village in a pickup truck over the weekend.
She went to high school in the county, and her grades were excellent. Enrolling in university wasn't difficult, but Chu Jiang wasn't interested in studying. After nine years of compulsory education, he didn't go to school and instead went to his home to farm with his parents.
In this kind of backwater, there were only two kinds of life without going to school: working or farming. Chu Jiang's parents only had him as their son, so they couldn't bear to send him away.
Lee Ruoxue called her father, Lee Baotian, over. Her brother, Lee Jun, carried the goods from the minivan, a brand-new TV, a washing machine, a refrigerator, an oven, a sofa … Each brand was expensive.
"The Village Head's family is rich?"
"So much stuff, it must be a lot of money. I heard Baotian's daughter got a treasure in the county and sold it for a lot of money."
The villagers all gathered around to watch the show, their eyes filled with envy.
Hearing these words, Chu Jiang's face turned green. If he wasn't tricked by Lee Ruoxue, he would be the one making a fortune now.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare to say it out loud, as he couldn't afford to lose face. If his parents knew, he would beat Chu Jiang to death even if he wasn't angered to death.
At night, Chu Jiang called Lee Ruoxue out.
"What did you call me here for? I told you, don't look for me again in the future. I can't possibly be your partner. Lee Ruoxue said coldly when she saw Chu Jiang.
Her meaning was obvious. She was a university student and would be able to find a good job in the city after graduation. Chu Jiang was just a farmer and not worthy of her.
"Lee Ruoxue, where's that copper plate?" Chu Jiang asked while holding back his anger.
"He's gone."
"I saw you going to appraise a treasure on TV. That copper plate is worth one million yuan. Hurry up and return it to me!" Chu Jiang's face was sullen. He saw with his own eyes that Lee Ruoxue actually lied to him.
Panic flashed across Lee Ruoxue's eyes. "How, how did you know?"
"Don't do it if you don't want to!" Chu Jiang gritted his teeth and said.
"Humph, so what if you see it? The copper plate was sold to me by you. In that case, it's mine. It has nothing to do with you." Lee Ruoxue snorted coldly.
"You!" Chu Jiang was furious. His finger pointing at Lee Ruoxue was trembling. "Lee Ruoxue, you are such a shameless bitch!"
He scolded as he approached Lee Ruoxue.
Lee Ruoxue retreated with a frightened expression, "Chu Jiang, if you dare to do anything rash, I'll get my dad to arrest you and send you to the police station!"
Chu Jiang stopped walking. The police station was the place that he was afraid of. Lee Ruoxue's father was the village chief, and he had both power and influence. Everyone in the police station knew him, and they absolutely could not fight him.
He clenched his fists and said while clenching his teeth, "Lee Ruoxue, you will pay a heavy price for what you did today. I, Chu Jiang, swear!"
Lee Ruoxue didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of contempt as she walked away.
She had looked down on Chu Jiang before, but now that she had one million, she looked down on Chu Jiang even more. In her eyes, Chu Jiang would never have any future in her life. Wanting to make her regret it was an international joke.
"One day, I will make you kneel in front of me and beg me. At that time, I will return today's humiliation to you a hundredfold!" Chu Jiang gritted his teeth as he looked at Lee Ruoxue's back.
