Age: My Small World

Chapter 33 Rejection
In other words, it was confirmed that Yang Jun was not a bad person, otherwise he would not have been brought home to get something today.

"Uncle, what's your name?" Yang Jun said as he squatted down to help the old man lift the bricks.

"People call him Master Hu, so you can just call him Master Ba."

Yang Jun almost did a split when he heard it, and thought it was the old Hu Bayi appearing.

"Master Ba, what's the name of that skill you just displayed?"

The old man paused and said casually, "I just hit it randomly. It's not a big deal."

Yang Jun naturally didn't believe it, but he also understood that the relationship between the two was quite unfamiliar, and the other party would not reveal the truth to him so easily.

There are few simple people who can hang around in the market.

After a while, the floor tiles were dug up, revealing a small box.

When he saw the small box, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

"It's just right to sell it. I won't be able to use it in the future anyway."

Even though he whispered in a low voice, Yang Jun heard it. You know, after being nourished by the spiritual water, he has become very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and the fact that he sensed the movements around him when he was concentrating his mental power before was not an illusion.

After thinking about it, he still didn't say anything. Even if the old man had some secret, it was hard to resist his urgent need for the jade.

Moreover, the jade itself can still survive, and if it is useful in the future, it can be returned to the original price.

After the small box was opened, it was wrapped in a layer of oil paper. When Yang Jun uncovered it, he found that there were not only jade stones inside, but also some ancient copper coins. The number was not too many, but he always felt something was wrong when he looked at it.

"It's all here, take a look first."

Mr. Hu handed a few pieces of blue-white jade to him. Yang Jun took them without thinking too much.

This is no longer the sheep white jade that I was lucky enough to see that day, but a green-white jade of inferior quality, which still belongs to the Hetian jade category.

Yang Jun could already sense that the small world was about to stir.

"Master Ba, what's the price?"

Although these pieces of blue-white jade are a little different, they are large in size. When added together, they are about the size of a baby's fist.

Moreover, this is slightly inferior to white jade. If placed among other jades, it is definitely a top-quality product.

"Well, give me ten dollars."

The old man didn't want much. Nowadays, no one is buying jade, so the price has been severely impacted, so it has become much cheaper.

In the past, the things he left behind could buy half a house.

In fact, if Mr. Hu took the jade to a department store in the provincial capital to sell it, the price would be much higher, but he never thought about it and was unwilling to go.

When Yang Jun heard the price, he almost thought that Mr. Hu knew how much money he had. He had just earned money and had to give it away before he could even hold it.

Even so, he still took out two Great Unity notes and handed them over.

Seeing that Yang Jun did not bargain, the old man nodded with satisfaction.

He took the ten yuan without hesitation, looked at it carefully, and then put it away.

"Eighth Master, can you tell me why you were unwilling to sell this jade to me at the beginning?" After getting the thing, Yang Jun was no longer in a hurry and began to ask with interest.

Mr. Hu stroked his graying beard and said bluntly, "I'm not afraid to tell you, these things were originally meant to be buried with me, but I figured there would be no one to put them in my coffin after I die, so I just sold them to you. You can use them to buy some wine and meat to fill your stomach, and it's better than taking them to the grave."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun suddenly felt that his hand holding the jade was a little hot.

Wow, so this jade is a burial object, right?

Although it hasn't officially entered the ground yet, I feel a chill coming on. No wonder the old man is so reluctant to sell.

However, the jade was of great use to Yang Jun, so even though he felt it was a bit creepy after hearing it, there was no reason for him to return it.

"Eighth Master, I'll only need this jade for a while. How about I return it to you later?"

The old man immediately blew his beard and glared: "You want to sell it back to me, right? I don't want it. I won't have a penny left by then. I don't have any money."

"No money, just teach me those moves you just made."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Hu regained his composure and glanced at him: "Why, do you want to learn some tricks?"

"Yes, I think you are amazing. Wouldn't it be a waste if you don't find a successor to your skills?"

Yang Jun's eyes were shining and he looked quite determined.

Unfortunately, the old man shook his head and said, "No, I won't teach you."

Even though he had expected this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed when he saw this situation.

Yang Jun raised some spiritual water to strengthen his body, and he believed that he would be able to make further progress in the future, so he thought of learning some martial arts to be safer in the future. After all, although the days seemed peaceful now, there were actually some undercurrents, and many spies were hiding in the dark.

In addition, he was curious about traditional Kung Fu and naturally had a strong desire to learn.

Looking at the sky outside, Yang Jun put aside his resentment for the time being and said goodbye.

"Master Ba, I still have to go to class, so I'll leave first. I'll come visit you next time when I'm free."

"No, no, no, you'd better not come here. The jade is really gone." The old man waved his hands quickly, feeling a little regretful. He should have known not to reveal that trick earlier.

"Haha, let's talk about it later."

Yang Jun retreated with a smile.

Heading back towards the school, Yang Jun didn't think any more and immersed his mind in the small world.

A ball of bluish-white jade suddenly appeared, and then the familiar movement began.

The spiritual water began to boil, and under his careful observation, he found that the boundary of the small world had indeed expanded outward a little, at least by about ten centimeters.

"If you really want to turn the small world into a big world, I'm afraid it won't work. It's impossible in this lifetime."

According to Yang Jun's estimation, even if all the jade in the world was extracted, the small world could only be expanded to tens of kilometers. How big a difference would it be from now?

"So, the main function of jade is to increase spiritual water."

He has given up the idea of expanding his territory.

His eyes fell on the stone platform. The amount of spiritual water that was originally left in it had increased to about two hundred drops.

"It seems that higher quality jade can extract more spiritual water, while jade of too low quality may be just average."

Yang Jun nodded, immediately took out the bottle and filled it with some spiritual water.

He drank some first and felt a lot more energetic. He left the rest for the little girl, who was listless during the class.

In such a good mood, Yang Jun almost jumped back to school.

In the first row, Cheng Xiaoyu, who had always stared at the door, suddenly looked away because he saw someone coming back.

"I brought you some water. Drink some before class to avoid feeling tired." Yang Jun didn't give her a chance to say more.

Now that everyone is in high school and is not young anymore, they have to pay attention to school rumors and the like, especially girls, who will suffer if they are misunderstood. So when he is in the classroom, he often subconsciously leaves a lot of room for the two of them to get along.
