On the fourth day, after Xiang Wen hit a wall in the talent market, he strolled around the nearby streets.
Suddenly, he saw that the intersection in front of him was filled with people. The crowd looked up in the direction of the neighborhood.
Xiang Wen walked closer to take a look. It turned out that a unit on the fifth floor of the residential area was on fire. Thick smoke kept coming out from the balcony.
"Ah, what a pitiful mother and daughter. Why hasn't the fire truck arrived yet?”
"Looks like the firefighters won't be able to make it in time.”
“……”
Hearing the discussion in the crowd, Xiang Wen took a closer look and saw a young woman holding a little girl. She was standing on the balcony and constantly calling for help. She might not be able to wait for the firefighters to arrive. The situation was extremely critical.
Without hesitation, Xiang Wen decided to save the mother and daughter. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly took out a disguise pill from his Cosmos Ring. He took off his glasses and wiped it on his face, immediately turning into a rugged man.
Xiang Wen quickly ran downstairs and climbed up the water pipe beside the anti-theft net.
When the crowd below saw someone climb up to beg for help, they exclaimed in surprise. Some clapped and cheered, while others mocked him for overestimating himself.
Soon, Xiang Wen climbed to the fifth floor. He reached out and grabbed the anti-theft net. One of his feet stepped on the anti-theft net. He exerted force on the hand that grabbed the anti-theft net, and Xiang Wen stepped on the anti-theft net with both feet. He saw the anxious and helpless eyes of a young woman with a gray face and the terrified crying of a little girl.
When the crowd below saw such a dangerous situation, they all held their breaths. For a moment, the crowd was silent.
Xiang Wen held the two vertical stainless steel bars on the anti-theft net with both hands and pulled them to both sides. The two stainless steel bars bent to the width of two people, and Xiang Wen stopped.
When the young woman saw this, her eyes lit up with hope.
He rushed into the balcony and hurriedly said to the trapped young woman,"Big sister, give me the child. Later, you can lie on my back and I'll bring you two down.”
"Thank you so much, brother.”The young woman handed the little girl to Xiang Wen.
"Don't talk about this now." Xiang Wen took the child and tied him to his chest with his own clothes.
Strangely enough, the little girl stopped crying after Xiang Wen had taken over her body. She even asked innocently,"Uncle, did you fly in the air to save us?”
"I'm Whitman, and I'm here to save children in danger.”Xiang Wen laughed.
"Mom, Whitman is here to save us.”The little girl shouted happily.
"Big sister, come up quickly." Xiang Wen squatted in front of the young woman.
At this critical moment, the young woman couldn't care less about the defense between men and women and quickly climbed onto Xiang Wen's back.
Feeling the young woman's bouncy breasts, Xiang Wen's heart shook, but he immediately calmed down.
Xiang Wen carried the young woman on his back and nimbly got out of the anti-theft net." Sister, I don't have hands to support you. You have to hold my neck tightly."”
"Got it." the young woman replied.
At this time, the crowd below was in an uproar. They did not expect Xiang Wen to really save the mother and daughter.
Xiang Wen slowly reached out and grabbed the water pipe, then carefully moved his feet onto the water pipe, and finally climbed down with his hands and feet.
The onlookers below exclaimed,"How can such a thin water pipe support the weight of two people?"”
In fact, Xiang Wen knew that the water pipe would not be able to withstand the weight of two adults and a child, so when he stood outside the anti-theft net, he used his light body martial arts.
In the time it took to finish a cup of tea, Xiang Wen was already on the ground. At this time, the paramedics who had been waiting on the ground for a long time immediately took the mother and daughter from Xiang Wen's hands and brought them to the ambulance for examination.
But the little girl shouted for Uncle Whitman.
At this time, the reporters who had already arrived knew that Whitman might be referring to the hero who saved people. They wanted to interview Xiang Wen, the hero who saved people, but Xiang Wen had already disappeared. One of the beautiful reporters pouted her cute little mouth and muttered,"You slipped away so quickly. Is this guy a loach? I don't believe I can't find you.”
The next day, all the major newspapers in B City published the good news of Xiang Wen saving people without leaving his name. The headlines were " Mysterious Man Saving People from Fire Without Leaving His Name "," Mysterious Young Man, Extraordinary Skills "," Mysterious Man Saving People from the Fifth Floor as if They were Walking on Plain Ground "," Whitman?”Wait.
There were also rumors about Xiang Wen's achievements and skills on the Internet, and there were even videos taken with mobile phones. Some so-called experts even concluded that he was an ancient martial arts expert after watching the video. In an instant, there were hundreds of thousands of followers. Some people doubted it, while others praised it…
It turned out that after Xiang Wen handed the person over to the medical staff, he immediately hid in the crowd and used the cover of the crowd to escape.
After Xiang Wen ran to a nearby alley, he resumed his normal pace. When he saw that no one was paying attention, he went into a public toilet and washed off the disguise medicine on his face.
When he came out, Xiang Wen put on his glasses again and returned to his original weak appearance.
As he walked, Xiang Wen came to an antique street. There were many antique shops and stalls on both sides of the street. Xiang Wen guessed that he might have come to Panjiayuan. Since he was here, he decided to take a look.
Xiang Wen looked at the antiques on the stall with interest, and his consciousness was unconsciously immersed in the various items on the stall.
Suddenly, Xiang Wen stopped in front of a street stall. He noticed that there was an inconspicuous heart-shaped jade pendant on the street that was emitting a natural aura.
Seeing that Xiang Wen had stopped, the peddler's eyes were sharp. He could tell at a glance that Xiang Wen was a virgin who didn't know anything about antiques. He thought that Xiang Wen was a "water fish"(in Cantonese, it meant "rich"), so he pulled Xiang Wen and kept bragging,"Young man, your eyesight is really good. I have all the authentic antiques here. Look at this urinal. Don't look at it as it's not eye-catching. This was used by Lord Kangxi and Lord Qianlong in the past.”
"Look at this pillow. This was used by Noble Consort Yang back then. I heard that women can become beautiful after using it.”
"Look at this inkstone again. This was used by Zhao Ji, Emperor Hui of the Song Dynasty. It's priceless.”
"Look at this…"
The peddler spoke like a dragon and phoenix, and his saliva sprayed everywhere. However, Xiang Wen still did not have any reaction. He knew that this was a student and did not have much money, so he could not be bothered to serve Xiang Wen.
Of course, Xiang Wen knew about this street. There were many fake things in the stalls and shops, but he was interested in the jade pendant. He knew that he couldn't let the peddler know that he was interested in the jade pendant, or he would ask for an exorbitant price.
Xiang Wen pretended to be interested in the bronze bull beside the jade pendant and asked the vendor how much it cost.
"5oo yuan." The peddler replied indifferently.
Xiang Wen pointed at a pen holder and asked how much it cost.
"3oo yuan." The peddler sounded a little impatient.
Xiang Wen then pointed to a few items beside him and asked for the price. When the peddler was very impatient, he asked for the price of the jade pendant.
"If you want it, take it for 100 yuan.”The peddler gave a random price. In fact, he had bought this jade pendant from an old farmer for 30 yuan. In his opinion, it was not a good jade, so he casually threw it on the street stall.
"Alright, I'll take this." Xiang Wen readily took out 100 yuan and handed it to the vendor.
The peddler took the 100 yuan from Xiang Wen and was very happy. He finally opened the shop, but he immediately regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have offered 5oo yuan.
Xiang Wen took the jade pendant and turned to leave. Holding the jade pendant in his palm, Xiang Wen felt that the natural Spiritual Qi inside was even thicker. He was secretly amazed and put it into his Qian Kun Ring. He would study it when he got back.
Xiang Wen continued to stroll on the streets, trying to find any good items from the stalls. Of course, this was only for jade items. He couldn't find anything else.
However, there was no longer anything that contained natural spiritual energy. It seemed that good things were rare after all.
As they walked, Xiang Wen saw a shop with the sign " Jade " surrounded by a lot of people. From time to time, shouts of " cut " could be heard from inside, so he squeezed in curiously. There was a person carefully cutting a stone with an uneven surface.
Xiang Wen asked a chubby man beside him what was going on. The fatty next to him was probably a good teacher. After finally catching a rookie like Xiang Wen, he started to explain to Xiang Wen in a lively and eloquent manner.
Xiang Wen learned from Fatty that this was called stone gambling. It was an investment that could make a person rich overnight or bankrupt overnight. It was a gamble of luck and foresight. If you saw a raw stone and cut out a large amount of jade with good quality, congratulations, you are rich. If you cut out a small amount of jade or a poor quality jade, congratulations, you are bleeding. Good luck next time.
It was said that up until now, there was no instrument that could see through the inside of the raw stone. It was because of his uncertainty that this kind of gambling investment made so many people obsessed and crazy.
Xiang Wen was a little interested in this stone gambling. He wanted to see if he could feel the natural aura of the jade inside the raw stone, so he focused his attention on the few uncut raw stones on the shelf.
Not to mention, Xiang Wen could feel the faint natural spiritual energy fluctuations on the raw gemstones. The basketball-sized raw gemstone in the middle had the strongest natural spiritual energy fluctuations.
Xiang Wen wanted to buy the raw stone in the middle, so he asked the fat man next to him for the price of these raw stones.
"That might be the case. It depends on the pit and the size. It can range from a few hundred to a few hundred thousand.”Fatty was very excited when someone asked him. He reckoned that very few people asked him questions, but saying so much was equivalent to not saying anything.
"Do you know how much that piece is?" Xiang Wen pointed at the basketball-sized raw stone in the middle of the shelf and asked.
"That is an old pit stone. I heard the boss say that it costs 25,000 yuan.”Fatty had a good memory.
Twenty-five thousand? Xiang Wen was very excited. He had 25,000 yuan in his card, which was from the basketball match he won against Chen Liping. He had decided to buy this raw stone.
"Boss, how much is this raw stone?”Xiang Wen pointed at the raw gemstone he wanted and asked.
"No, brother, you have good eyesight. This is a pure old pit stone. It's non-negotiable, 25,000.”The boss with a thick beard seemed to be a straightforward person.
"Since the boss is so straightforward, I'll be straightforward. I'll take 25,000.”Xiang Wen took out his bank card.
"Little brother, do you want to cut it on the spot? We have a professional master here.”After Xiang Wen paid with his card, the bearded boss asked.
"Alright, just one cut. I want to see it too.”Xiang Wen wanted to know if his method was effective. If not, he would go bankrupt.
The old master walked a few rounds and carefully observed the shape of the raw stone before decisively cutting it.
The result was that there were large patches of dark green jade on both sides.
Xiang Wen heaved a sigh of relief and thought," It's indeed a crazy gamble. I know the result, but I'm still so excited. You can imagine how excited those who don't know the result are."
