In the Oriental Mall in the city.
"Sister Xinran, what else do you want to buy?”Huang Hao asked Du Xinran as he carried the bags.
Huang Hao had been accompanying Du Xinran to buy clothes and daily necessities for the entire morning. His legs were sore and aching, but Du Xinran was still in high spirits and seemed to be in high spirits.
"Buy two more t-shirts and two dresses!”Du Xinran replied.
"Heavens! Didn't you already buy four t-shirts and three dresses?”Huang Hao said.
"But I always feel that the clothes I bought are not as good as the one you bought half an hour ago.!”Du Xinran pointed at the clothes she was wearing.
When Huang Hao bought clothes for Du Xinran last night, he didn't choose them carefully. He bought them just because he thought they looked good. A T-shirt that cost 60 yuan, a denim skirt that cost 130 yuan, and a set of underwear that cost 200 yuan. If it weren't for the sports event, the clothes Huang Hao bought for Du Xinran would probably cost 15 yuan each, 20 yuan each for a short skirt, and 20 to 30 yuan each for a bra. However, if Huang Hao was really so stingy, he would most likely be strangled to death by Du Xinran.
"Let's rest first. I'm too tired!”Huang Hao said.
"Alright, let's have a glass of water first!" Du Xinran readily agreed.
Huang Hao thought for a moment and said,"Then let's go out from the back door of the mall. There's a tea bar at the back. It's quite quiet."”Huang Hao suggested.
"Alright, lead the way!"
Huang Hao led Du Xinran out of the back door of the Oriental Mall.
As soon as he left the door, he saw that someone had set up a small stall outside the back door. There were a few black balls on the stall. When the stall owner saw Huang Hao and Du Xinran coming out of the mall carrying bags of various sizes, he immediately shouted at them,""Guys, come and take a look. The rare Indian divine oil is on sale!”
Du Xinran and Huang Hao were speechless. Someone was actually selling Indian divine oil on the street.
Du Xinran ignored him and pulled Huang Hao away.
However, the stall owner's next sentence attracted Huang Hao's attention.
" Don't go. This Indian divine oil is really good stuff. A drop of oil won't go out for months after it's ignited…"
Huang Hao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. A drop of oil would burn for months without extinguishing. Why did this sound like the coal marrow described by Elder Liu?
Hence, Huang Hao hurriedly stopped and walked back.
"Little Haozi, why are you joining in the fun when they are selling Indian divine oil?”Du Xinran thought that Huang Hao really wanted to buy Indian divine oil and said angrily.
Huang Hao ignored her and said to the stall owner,""You said that a drop of oil can burn for months without extinguishing. Is that true?”
As he spoke, Huang Hao sized up the stall owner. Although the stall owner was dressed in old clothes, he looked very clean. His hands were covered in calluses, and he seemed to be doing manual labor. As for the things on his stall, they were five black balls the size of apples. They looked like black charcoal, but it was impossible for charcoal to be so round. Could this really be the coal marrow that Elder Liu had mentioned? Huang Hao wasn't sure. After all, Elder Liu hadn't told Huang Hao what coal marrow looked like.
When the stall owner saw Huang Hao return after leaving, he was instantly overjoyed."Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, look.”
He took out a straw and picked up a black charcoal ball from the stall. Huang Hao noticed that there was a hole in the black charcoal ball. The stall owner dipped the straw into it. When he got used to taking it out, there was some golden liquid attached to it with a faint fragrance.
The stall owner dripped the golden liquid from the straw into a small porcelain bowl and lit it with a lighter.
The drop of golden liquid immediately began to burn, emitting blue flames.
Huang Hao watched quietly, and even Du Xinran, who was beside him, watched without blinking.
After four to five minutes, the golden liquid was still burning.
"Can it really burn for a few months?”Huang Hao asked.
"Of course it's true!" " I've tested it at home," the stall owner said confidently." One drop of this thing burned for more than two months. It continued to burn. In the end, I extinguished it myself." Not only did this thing burn for a long time, but it was even more magical.”
At this point, the stall owner took out a bottle of mineral water and poured it into the bowl until it was full.
Originally, Huang Hao thought that when the water was poured in, the flames would at most float on the surface of the water. However, Huang Hao was wrong. The flames did not float on the surface of the water. Instead, they sank into the water and continued to burn.
Huang Hao still couldn't be sure if this was coal marrow, so he continued to ask,"Where did you get this?”
"Well, I used to be a coal miner. I dug coal in a coal mine in Shanxi. At that time, I dug up a total of 21 of these black charcoal balls. " I reckon that the coal mine can still dig out this thing. However, the second day after I dug out this carbon ball, there was a gas explosion in the mine. Fortunately, no one died. However, the coal mine was still shut down because of illegal operations. I also lost my job, and my wife was working in Nanhai City, so I followed her.”
Huang Hao was excited when he heard this. He was 90% sure that this was the coal marrow. Although he didn't have the Black Rock Flower he needed, the Black Rock Flower grew near the coal marrow. At least there was news. Huang Hao decided to explore this closed coal mine.
As for the coal marrow in front of him, although he didn't know the value of its effects, Huang Hao believed that it was definitely a treasure of extraordinary value. It wouldn't be wrong to buy it.
"How much do you want to sell this for?" Huang Hao asked.”
"You really want to buy it?" The stall owner's eyes lit up.
"Of course, if the price is suitable, we'll buy it!”The meaning behind his words was to ask him not to ask for an exorbitant price.
"This…5,000 yuan each!”
When Huang Hao and Du Xinran heard the price, they looked at each other.
Seeing Two Months 'expression, the stall owner thought that he had asked for too much, so he quickly changed his mind." Three thousand less is fine too!”
Huang Hao secretly found it funny. In reality, the stall owner had offered ten thousand yuan. Even if Huang Hao had no money, he would still encourage Du Xinran to buy it. After all, this cousin's family had a company overseas. They had nothing but money.
Unexpectedly, the stall owner saw Huang Hao's expressionless face and immediately lowered the price." How about two thousand?”
Huang Hao waved his hand, indicating for him not to speak. Instead, he asked,"I'm very curious. Just based on the fact that this thing can burn continuously for several months without extinguishing, this thing should be able to sell for tens of thousands of yuan without a problem. Why are you selling it to me for two thousand yuan?”
Hearing Huang Hao's words, the stall owner sighed." When I found out that this thing had this characteristic, I thought that it could sell for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. However, when I sold it in my hometown, I was almost chased out of the house. They said that this was corpse oil, the corpse oil used to light the eternal lamp in the royal tomb.”
Huang Hao suddenly realized what was going on. Indeed, in ancient times, there was a legend of using human corpses to refine corpse oil to make lamp oil. This was a very unlucky thing among the people, so naturally, no one bought this thing.
Before the stall owner could finish, he continued,"I didn't manage to sell it in my hometown, so I brought it here to sell. Who knew that those jewelry stores and antique shops wouldn't recognize what this thing was? Even if they offered a price, they would only offer 500 dollars at most. Although I'm a coal miner, my monthly salary is about 3,000 yuan. 500 yuan is nothing to me. I'd rather throw it away than sell it. Little comrade, let me tell you clearly. The price of this thing in my heart is 2,000 yuan. I won't sell it for less.”
"Alright, 2,000 yuan for one. But I want to ask you, didn't you say that you dug up 21 and took six for yourself? Why are there only five here?"
"There's another one at home. My family is in the countryside and there are frequent blackouts. I'll keep it for lighting. In the future, I'll save on candles and kerosene!”The stall owner said with a smile.
"What about the other fifteen? Can you still contact the people who got this thing?”Huang Hao continued to ask. Huang Hao didn't want such good things to be wasted among the people.
"You still want to buy it? There are a few numbers that I have, and some that I don't. It's quite troublesome to contact them. Now that the coal mine is closed, everyone has returned to their hometown. It's not easy to find them!”The stall owner said with a troubled expression.
Huang Hao turned around and said to Du Xinran,"Sister Xinran, give me ten thousand yuan!"
Du Xinran was not ignorant. She also saw the strangeness of coal marrow, and a mere 10,000 yuan was naturally not a big deal to her. So she generously took out 10,000 yuan from her bag. The brand new 10,000 yuan did not even open the seal, and it even emitted a faint ink fragrance.
Huang Hao took the money and handed it to the stall owner."I'll give you 10,000 yuan for the five charcoal balls here. If you can help me get the other charcoal balls, I'll still buy them for 2000 yuan each. As for whether you want them to sell them to me directly or buy them at a low price before selling them to me, that's up to you. I'll give you another 5,000 yuan after it's done. What do you think?"”
When the stall owner heard this, his face immediately lit up." Alright, alright. I promise to deliver all these charcoal balls to you within two months, no, one month!”
"I'll give you my phone number. Contact me if there's any news. Remember, 138******** My name is Huang Hao.”
"Alright, no problem! "The stall owner quickly took out his phone and recorded Huang Hao's number."I, Li Fugui! You can just call me Old Li from now on!"
"Alright, Old Li, I'll be waiting for your news!”Now that everything was settled, Huang Hao took out a bag from his hand and put all five black charcoal balls inside. He packed his things and was about to say goodbye to Li Fugui when he suddenly thought of something." Old Li, why did you call the golden liquid inside the black charcoal ball Indian God Oil?”
"Hey, the picture sounds good. They all say that this is corpse oil. I felt that it was unlucky and thought that the name Indian God Oil was more magical, so I gave it this name!”
"…" Huang Hao was instantly speechless.
