Chapter 9: Incomplete artifact

Chapter 9 Incomplete magic weapon

A week later, Su Xiaofan was finally able to move around freely, but the range of activities was limited to the hospital floor.

The speed of his recovery also surprised the doctor, and he did several tests in the middle, and the results all showed that his body functions were normal, but it is reasonable for the young man to recover faster, and the impact is limited to the one he was hospitalized with. There was not much disturbance in the department.

After more than a week of treatment, the burns on Su Xiaofan's back were also under control, and new flesh grew, but it would take a long time to heal. Fortunately, the most dangerous period of inflammation has passed, and only need to maintain It is only a matter of time before the back is cleaned and the dressing is changed on time.

Under the auspices of Zheng Dagang, Su Xiaofan and the relevant departments also reached a settlement. In addition to Su Xiaofan's medical expenses and the previous 300,000 yuan, they once again paid 200,000 yuan in compensation. It has nothing to do with their department whether it caused any consequences due to this electric shock.

Su Xiaofan, who was a bit guilty at first, naturally agreed, but Zheng Dagang was still a little dissatisfied. According to his thinking, he would be incompetent if he didn't hit the electric tiger for millions. What, after the two parties signed the compensation and exemption documents, the matter was considered to be over.

Since waking up and using the repair value to recover his body functions, Su Xiaofan has spent his days in the hospital like years. He has recovered from everything except his back injury, but he still has to act weak, and the food he eats every day is not even a little fishy. , the bird almost faded out of Su Xiaofan's mouth.

This made Su Xiaofan couldn't help running out to watch the fat nurse gnaw on the chicken drumsticks when it was time to eat, making Su Xiaoxiao think her brother's heart had sprouted, but his aesthetics made Su Xiaoxiao despise him very much. She doesn't want such a sister-in-law who can make the family poor.

There is also good news. On the tenth day after Su Xiaofan woke up, the doctor told him to observe for another three days before he could be discharged from the hospital. However, he was still not allowed to take a bath after returning home. He could only wipe his body with a towel. From then on, he would come to the hospital every other week to change his medicine. .

After receiving the doctor's notice, Su Xiaofan was overjoyed. He decided that as long as he was discharged from the hospital, he would use the repair value to recover his back burn immediately. Even if he became a missing person, he would not come to the hospital again, because the fat The nurse didn't look right at him, the affectionate look made Su Xiaofan feel like the chicken leg in the mouth of the fat nurse's sister.

There is another piece of good news, but for Su Xiaofan, it was a belated surprise, that is, on the penultimate day after he was discharged from the hospital, his elusive father actually came back.

The atmosphere in the ward was a bit awkward. Su Xiaoxiao looked up at her father and brother from time to time. When she got the latest mobile phone from her father, she had already forgiven her father. However, she was still on the front line with her brother. I condemned my father for being irresponsible.

Su Weixuan is forty-five years old this year, but he is thin, elegant, and has good skin. He actually looks about thirty-seven or eighteen years old. He doesn't look like a captain who has been sailing on the sea all year round. At least Su Xiaofan I wonder if my father's appearance can hold back those tough sailors?

"Ahem, Xiaofan, I didn't expect you to have another accident."

Su Weixuan also had a wry smile at this meeting, "I originally planned to come back half a month ago, just in time for the small college entrance examination, who knew that there was a big storm on the Indian Ocean, the cruise ship broke down, and drifted on the sea for more than ten years God, look, Dad, I really didn't mean to."

"Dad, first of all, you take back the word "you." Su Xiaofan looked at his father helplessly, and said, "I don't want any accidents, but this trouble always comes to me, and I can't help it, I said Dad, can you be more reliable next time and call home every now and then?" Su Xiaofan wasn't really angry with Dad, but he was still somewhat depressed, because no matter what happens, there is a cause and effect Circular.

If Su Xiaofan hadn't been trying to raise tuition fees for his younger sister, he wouldn't have sold that old bronze ware. If he didn't sell bronze ware, he wouldn't have provoked Wu Chuanbao and the others. There is no such thing as Su Xiaofan bumping into the distribution box.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely pay attention next time." After being criticized for a long time, Su Weixuan quickly nodded in agreement when he heard his son's words softened a bit, and said with a flattering expression: "Xiaofan, it just so happens that your phone is also broken. Yes, I also brought you a newest mobile phone, which has not been released in China yet, but I asked, and it can be connected to the Internet without any problems."

"Dad, just want to buy me with a mobile phone? Is my physical and psychological trauma worth a mobile phone?" Su Xiaofan looked at his father angrily. Unlike Su Xiaoxiao, his father left home to be a sailor At that time, Su Xiaofan was already sensible, and he could understand his father's hard work, so the father-son relationship with Su Weixuan was still very good. On the contrary, Su Xiaoxiao, who should be his father's little padded jacket, had a slight gap with Su Weixuan.

"Where can it be, look, I know you are in the antique business, and I brought you this."

Su Weixuan took out a box from his pocket while talking, and said: "This is the ancient jade I bought for you in Antwerp port. I heard that this thing was snatched by Italy in our country back then. I spent two I bought it for ten thousand dollars, you usually wear it around your neck, and I will wear it for my grandson in the future, so it can be a family heirloom."

"Twenty thousand dollars?" Su Xiaofan's eyes widened when he heard that, "I almost violated the rules of the village in order to pay for my little sister's tuition, you spent twenty thousand dollars to buy this thing for me, Dad, Do you know what ancient jade is? It’s still a family heirloom, don’t buy a plastic one and come back.”

Holding the beautifully packaged box in his hand, Su Xiaofan wanted to cry without tears. He stayed in the antique market for two years, and the things he saw the most were of course the so-called "ancient" objects, but in fact, among the ten objects, there was often even one genuine one. There are none, especially jade, porcelain, and bronze wares. The real antiques have been sent to the auction house, and they can still appear in the antique market?

"You don't have to worry about the small tuition fees, I'll take care of it." Su Weixuan took out a bank card, handed it to Su Xiaofan and said, "Dad's annual salary is very high. I used to be afraid that you would not know how to spend money recklessly, so I didn't dare to let it go." You keep money in your hand, there is one million in this card, you use it first."

"If you had given it to me earlier, I wouldn't have had such an innocent disaster." Su Xiaofan complained to his father, but the movement of receiving cards under his hand was not slow at all, and being polite to the father of this pitiful son, that would be true to himself Irresponsible yet.

"Let's not talk about this, you will definitely come to the end of all hardships and happiness in the future. When you die, you will be lucky. Hurry up and open the box to see if you like this jade. Dad, I still have a little vision." Su Weixuan glanced at his son's neck, and said casually: " I seem to have given you a piece of jade before, did you wear it?"

"You gave me jade?" Su Xiaofan was taken aback when he heard that.

"It was after your car accident, I asked you to wear it as a talisman." Su Weixuan said.

"You said the Jade Buddha."

Su Xiaofan thought about it, pointed at Su Xiaoxiao, and said, "Father, why don't you say you don't know how to do it? As the saying goes, men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. Give me a pendant of Jade Buddha. I really want to wear it around my neck." , Then I won’t be laughed at by my peers in the antique market, I’m wearing some kind of meteorite you gave me, but I lost it after being electrocuted, and I don’t know where it went.”

When Su Xiaofan didn't go to the antique market to set up a stall, he used to wear the Jade Buddha for two days, but after getting to know Zheng Dagang in the antique market, he realized that men generally wear Guanyin and women only wear Buddha, so Su Xiaofan gave the pendant to him. Sister, it's still hanging around my sister's neck right now.

"Where did this rule come from? I finally begged for the Jade Buddha for you." Hearing what his son said, the corner of Su Weixuan's mouth couldn't help twitching, but he glanced at his daughter and didn't say much.

"Dad, since you are back, go talk to the doctor later, can we leave the hospital today?"

While unpacking the box, Su Xiaofan said that he really couldn't live in this hospital for a whole day, especially when he saw the fat nurse every day, Su Xiaofan felt as if he had no clothes on him, and was all seen.

"Okay, I'll tell you later, it's really useless to live here."

Su Weixuan thought for a while and said: "Our crew members at sea often suffer from sunburn. Sunburn is similar to burns. I have some ointment for the symptoms. I will use it for you later. It should be better than the medicine in the hospital. You can recover faster, too."

"Dad, is your medicine reliable?" Su Xiaofan didn't have much confidence in his father, so he casually opened the box inside the package and took out the jade pendant inside.

"Hey, Dad, your vision is really good this time. This thing seems to be a good piece of jade in terms of carving and shape."

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Su Xiaofan's eyes showed surprise. Although he only stayed in the antique market for two or three years, he learned things very quickly, especially when he met some master craftsmen with real eyesight every day. , so Su Xiaofan still has a certain appreciation of antiques.

"This is a dragon and phoenix jade pendant from the Warring States Period. There were many similar ones in the Han Dynasty. When they were unearthed, there were usually a pair of two, one dragon and one phoenix. But the jade pendant you took, Dad, is not colored. It doesn't seem to be an unearthed object, it may be fake."

Taking a closer look at the jade pendant in his hand, Su Xiaofan was a little bit suspicious, and he just said good jade but not ancient jade, because ancient jade was most likely stolen from the tomb , even those ancient jades that were so-called orderly inheritance in history were only unearthed a little earlier. After several generations of playing, they became inherited. .

There is an old saying that no jade can make jade, and the color of the jade is one of the criteria for the identification of ancient jade. The color of the ancient jade is because the jade has been buried in the soil for a long time, and the color change is formed by the interaction of its own trace elements and the substances in the soil. .

Due to the different substances contained in the soil in the burial area and the length of burial, the color of the jade wares is also different, but as long as it is a real ancient jade, it is usually contaminated with some color, and even many Counterfeit antique dealers will paint new jades in order to sell them as ancient jades.

But this piece of ancient jade in Su Xiaofan's hand is crystal clear and white all over, with fine and moist texture, like freshly cut mutton fat, and its luster is like condensed fat, without any skin color or color.

In terms of material, this is an excellent piece of suet white jade, but when it comes to ancient jade, it is a bit far-fetched. In Su Xiaofan's opinion, this should be carved with a piece of top-quality suet white jade in modern times.

However, in terms of price, such a piece of top-quality suet white jade is a sky-high price, and the carving and shape of this dragon-shaped jade pendant are also antique. Even if it is a modern jade carving, Dad spent 20,000 US dollars to buy it. If you get it, it is definitely a big mistake. If this thing goes to the auction house, it is possible to sell it for 300,000 to 500,000 RMB.

"Huh? What... what does this mean?"

Just as Su Xiaofan was appreciating the jade pendant in his hand, a few words suddenly appeared in his mind:

【The dragon-shaped jade pendant of the Han Dynasty, a mid-level incomplete magic weapon, can be repaired, and needs 50 repair points. Do you want to repair it? 】
