Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 2 The Disappearing Eye

"By the way, the driver who caused the accident has already paid the hospitalization and medical expenses, so you don't have to worry about the expenses, just take a good rest."

The chief physician gave him a few more precautions, and then led the doctors in the department to continue the rounds.

Zhao Gang supported the edge of the bed and stood up with difficulty.He was thrown so hard last night that his whole body was sore, as if his bones were about to fall apart.

Now is the time when he needs money.Although the director explained that he needed to recuperate, but thinking of the 30 dowry gift, he really couldn't lie down for a minute, and wished he could go back to work right away.

But his work needs to be transported, and the delivery of small items is fine, but when it comes to large items, his current situation is really unbearable.If the root cause of the disease falls, wouldn't it affect future work.

Forget it, it's useless to be anxious, just take a rest for a day.

Thinking of this, he leaned lightly on the hospital bed, picked up his phone to check the news, but found a missed call on the phone.

It was Mei Chun calling.

There was a layer of warmth in his heart, and he called back.As soon as the phone was connected, he said softly:

"What are you doing? I was busy with work last night and didn't receive your call."

Mei Chun's soft voice came from the other end of the phone:
"It's nothing. Just... I want to ask you, did you think of any way to raise the money for the bride price I told you yesterday?"

It turned out to be a matter of raising money.Zhao Gang felt a little lost in his heart, and said:
"I'm still thinking about the bride price. By the way, I had a car accident last night and was hit by a car. I'm in the hospital now."

"What?! What's going on, is it serious?"

Hearing that his girlfriend cared about him, his heart warmed up, and he said softly: "The doctor said that my injury is not serious, and I will be fine after a few days of rest."

"As long as the injury is not serious. Alas, it's just like this, you have to stop working for several days. I'm afraid it will be more difficult to pay for the bride price."

"Yes. By the way, Mei Chun, you are free today, can you come to the hospital to see me?" When Zhao Gang saw Mei Chun, he only asked about his condition, but did not ask which hospital he was in, nor did he express his desire to come and see me. He took the initiative to ask about his wishes.

After all, he was in the hospital and needed his girlfriend's care.

Unexpectedly, Mei Chun on the other end of the phone faltered and said: "I'm sorry, Gangzi. My father said that we should not meet each other until we get the bride price."

After Zhao Gang heard this, he was disappointed for a while: "That's it, then forget it."

"Gangzi, don't blame me, I can't help it..."

Hearing Mei Chun crying on the other end of the phone, Zhao Gang had no choice but to say, "Okay, don't cry. Then take care of yourself."

After hanging up his girlfriend's phone call, he held the returned dzi bead in his hand, feeling devastated and mixed feelings.

This dzi bead was sent by a friend of my father when I was a child.

The whole body of that dzi bead is dark amber, with an eye pattern on one side and a ruyi handle on the other side, with distinct black and white lines, lifelike.As soon as he saw it, he was deeply attracted, as if a magical power was calling him.Seeing that he liked it, his father gave it to him. He always carried this dzi bead with him and grew up with him.

Later, he and Mei Chun got to know each other, and in his heart, his beloved girlfriend was as precious as the eyes on the beads.So, on Mei Chun's birthday, he officially gave this dzi bead to her.

As a birthday gift, but also as a token of love between the two of them.

He gave Mei Chun the pearl that was as precious as his eyes, but she obeyed her father's words and gave it back to him so easily.

30, like a mountain, a gap, between himself and his unmarried girlfriend.He has been working tirelessly and doing his best.

But today he suddenly felt that the 30 gift money seemed to be more than the barrier between him and his girlfriend.

This was the first time, he began to waver and doubt the relationship between him and Mei Chun.

He was no longer in the mood to read the news on his phone, but stared at the dzi bead in a daze.At this time, he suddenly discovered an astonishing fact: the pattern of the eye on the Tianzhu disappeared!

He examined the dzi bead carefully over and over again in amazement.

That's right!It was the dzi bead that his father gave him back then. This dzi bead accompanied him when he grew up, and he was extremely familiar with every detail of this bead.But the pattern of eyes on the dzi bead miraculously disappeared, leaving only the other side, a solitary wishful handle!
It was simply astonishing, and he couldn't understand it.

At this time, the person in the next bed suddenly said: "Young man, your pillar is not bad, is it a dzi bead? Can you show me?"

The ward of the hospital is a two-person room. A short, fat middle-aged man lived on the bed next to Zhao Gang by the window.He didn't pay attention when going down the stairs, broke his ankle, and was admitted to the hospital.

Zhao Gang was taken aback, this old man knew Tianzhu, could it be that he knows antiques?

"That's right, it's Tianzhu. Brother, give me palm eyes!" He said and handed the beads over.

The middle-aged man took the dzi bead, put it in his hand to observe carefully for a while, nodded and praised: "Amazing! Young man, your bead is a natural dzi bead!"

Zhao Gang smiled, feeling a little complacent.

Before working as a courier, he originally worked in an antique shop in the Pangjiayuan area.He once asked the master of the antique shop to appraise it. The dzi bead in his hand is definitely not a crafted agate etched and outlined by modern technology, but a pure natural one, which is very rare.

Moreover, there are different patterns on both sides of his bead, both of which are very clear and vivid, which is even more of a treasure among treasures.

"It's a pity that your bead has a pattern on one side, which makes it a bit less interesting. If it's double-sided, it's even more precious, and the price will be even higher!"

Zhao Gang couldn't help giving the middle-aged man a thumbs up: "Brother is very knowledgeable!"

The two chatted for a few more words, Zhao Gang's eyes fell on the pendant on the middle-aged man's neck, and he suddenly froze.

It was a jade Guanyin pendant.There is an old saying, "Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha". This middle-aged man is wearing a jade Guanyin pendant. There is nothing unusual about it. The strange thing is that there seem to be strands of pearly luster on the jade Guanyin hang over it.

He felt a slight heat on his forehead, and then looked at the pendant intently, and found that the light on it gathered more and more, and finally formed a radiant circle of light.

Seeing him staring at his pendant in a daze, the middle-aged man couldn't help asking: "Brother, are you interested in my Jade Guanyin?"

Zhao Gang had spent a long time in the antique shop and had trained his eyesight a lot.Now seeing the miraculous brilliance on the Jade Guanyin again, I decided in my heart that this thing must be extraordinary.
