Chapter 4 Crazy Stone (a)
"Okay, you're so slick, why haven't you come to see grandma for more than a month?" Liu Meizhi seemed to complain.
"Didn't you see that I'm here? I was in the sports team for the exam a while ago, and I was in the sports team, reviewing and training. I was just off yesterday, so I'm here today. I'm going to live here for the first half of the month. Don't just think I'm annoyed." Han Jun explained to Liu Meizhi.
"Look at what your child said, grandma will not be annoyed if you stay for a while." The old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop talking, and her old face showed affection.
After talking to the old lady for a while, Liu Meizhi looked up at the old clock and stood up and said, "It's almost noon. You can play for yourself. I'll go cook. Today you came here. The Westing House Jinbao's father brought two yellow flowers."
"Yes, I came here just by smelling it. By the way, grandma, where is the pickaxe in our house?" Han Jun asked quickly.
"Just behind the door wall (screen wall), look for it yourself." Liu Meizhi didn't think much about why Han Jun wanted a pickaxe.
Liu Meizhi's house has a main hall facing north and south, with a wing room from east to west as a bedroom. A small house is built on the east side of the yard as a kitchen, which is four or five meters away from the screen wall. I used to plant a locust tree, but I don't know who said it was difficult to cut down the locust tree at home, and later it became a place to store farm tools.
In a pile of rake shovels, Han Jun found a pickaxe that he had taken advantage of, and then wandered around the yard to find a place to start. The stone walls were gray due to the wind and rain for more than ten years, and they couldn't get along with the green. In the past, he only heard that the stones that lived in the yard were dug out of the sea, but he didn't know if the stone was the kind of green stone recorded in the notes.
Soon, Han Jun took a fancy to the wall at the northwest corner of the front of the courtyard. Where to get a stone, it would not affect the "beauty" of the courtyard wall and would not demolish the wall because of the stones.
After finding a stool to plaster under his feet, Han Jun swung his arms and started smashing it at the joints. He said that using a hammer and a chisel could be more advantageous. However, the village households generally do not have stonemasons, so they should be second to the pickaxe. "Crash, collapse, collapse" several pickaxes collapsed, and the debris collapsed Han Jun's face, and the stone he selected was also smashed into a gap. Han Jun looked carefully and found that it really showed a bright green color.
Han Jun was happy, and he added strength to his hands, and then several picks were pulled down. The stone finally loosened and threw away the pick. Han Jun competed with both hands, and a stone sticking to cement was born.
After all, the stones dug out of the sea are irregular in shape. After building the courtyard wall, it will be considered complete after repairing the sand and cement. At this moment, this one foot square stone in Han Jun's arms is like this.
"Oh my little ancestor, what are you doing? You just came to my grandma's house and wanted to demolish my house?" The sound of smashing the wall scared Liu Meizhi. He hurried out to see, but found that his grandson was demolishing the courtyard wall, and he had successfully removed one piece. The gap in the northwest corner was like a mouth with half a pulling front teeth missing.
"I didn't demolish the house, I demolished the courtyard wall." Han Jun pointed at the courtyard wall and subconsciously retorted.
"You want to anger grandma? Hurry up and get back for me!"
Seeing that grandma was so angry, Han Jun quickly threw the stone, ran to Liu Meizhi and hugged her arm and coaxed her: "Grandma, don't be anxious, I didn't demolish it, I just raised a stone to study it."
"What's the best way to study broken stones?"
"Didn't you say that this stone was dug from the sea? I want to see what's different about the stones in the sea." Han Jun quizzed.
"What else can stones be different? There are some on Qianhaiyan'er. If you don't go, it seems that you will tear down the wall of grandma's courtyard? Hurry up and put it back for me, be careful I will tell your dad to beat you!"
"Okay, grandma, don't be angry, I'll take a look. After reading it, I'll give you a chance." After coaxing and cheating, grandma finally returned to the kitchen to cook. Han Jun picked up the stone that had just been lifted and looked at it carefully.
Because of his own strong force, most of the cement on it had been loosened, revealing the gray rock mass, but the gap just now was indeed obviously dark green. It seems that this stone is the kind of stone recorded in the notes.
Han Jun was initially confirmed the "identity" of the courtyard wall and was happy again. He randomly placed the stones on the wall. Without cement and buildup, it would be impossible. Then he had to wait until Han Shipeng came back.
Since you don’t let me dig at home, it’s good to go to the beach later. Anyway, the one that is the most inexpensive in the sea is this kind of stone.
At noon, I enjoyed the yellow croaker cooked by my grandmother. The older grandmother always had to take a nap and found an excuse to go out to play. While my grandmother was not prepared, Han Jun walked out with a pickaxe.
As we came to the beach, the fresh sea breeze blew away the little heat of summer. Listening to the sound of waves, people's mood became a little more comfortable.
Standing by the sea, Han Jun looked at several huge rocks protruding from the water. In his opinion, it seemed like a small island with huge treasures buried.
Han Jun, who was about to go into the sea to dig, was suddenly attracted by a rhythmic sound of trumpets from afar. Looking along the sound, he saw more than a dozen people leading a large stone towards the shore with a difficult journey, and a small truck was parked on the shore.
Driven by curiosity, Han Jun jogged all the way to the group of people, but found that these people were all villagers from Fengshan Village, and one of them was quite familiar with each other, who was his neighbor Han Jinbao.
"Hey, Brother Jinbao, what are you doing?" Han Jun asked curiously. At this time, the others were already busy loading the stone.
"Xiaojun is here. I haven't seen one day, drink it! This one is long." Han Jinbao was short and sturdy, with dark skin. He looked at Han Jun and said with a silly smile.
"Well, isn't the holiday anymore? Come to my grandma's house for a while. Why are you doing such a big stone?" Han Jun asked, pointing to the huge rock.
"Someone asked us to help move, so I'll come. I think you are pretty good-looking, can you move together? Move one yuan for one yuan." Han Jinbao looked up and down at Han Jun's figure, and pointed to a gentle middle-aged man next to him who looked gentle in a white shirt and said in a low voice. It was obviously the person who paid the money. Seeing that there was an opportunity to make extra money, he also wanted to introduce it to Han Jun.
Han Jun's heart moved and looked at the stone. The water marks on it were not dry. It was obviously pried out from the sea. "It turns out that someone has been working on these stones. Is it true that the notes recorded in their notes?" Seeing this situation, Han Jun thought he was the first to know this information, and was slightly disappointed.
At this time, the gentle middle-aged man also saw Han Jun, with a warm smile on his face, and greeted Han Jun: "Brother, I like to make some stones to enjoy. I can't move it if I'm too big, so I ask my friends in the village to help me. Are you interested in helping me?"
Han Jun thought to himself, this is a money-making job, how could he make wedding dresses for others? He raised the pickaxe in his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, uncle, I also like these green stones. I was thinking about getting some back to make bonsai for my dad."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you are so young, it's better to have this."
"It's wrong to say that. Why can't I like it when I was young? Although Mount Tai is high, it's not as good as Laos in the East China Sea; the world is beautiful and the cave is in famous mountains; the jade under the sea at the Yangkou is worse than emeralds; there are many kinds of charm, all of which are in one punch stone. Yan Mo of Nanyan praised this green stone in 1600. I believe this green stone is the green stone." Han Jun was not convinced, but this words were seen from the notes. He felt it was easy to recite, so he simply memorized it. Unexpectedly, he used it in this situation.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he felt like he met a soulmate. He pulled Han Jun over and talked, "Sorry, I didn't mean to underestimate you just now, but I didn't expect that the guy is also a native of this. Speaking of which, I fell in love with this stone since I first saw this stone. Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a laborious man. Judging from the guy's words, is there a top-notch family? Can you enjoy it together?"
"Uh..." Han Jun was speechless. He just said casually, "Where is the "highest" in the family? To put it bluntly, his father is a martial artist, and he doesn't even have potted flowers at home.
But I didn't want to admit defeat: "It's not much, just... a yard." I thought to myself, I didn't lie, the walls of my grandma's house are made of these green stones.
"Oh, then... I'll ask if I can let me go and see it?" Seeing the middle-aged man's eyes shining, he was obviously a person who loved stones very much. Han Jun was amused, but there was no stone for him to show him, and said perfunctorily, "My home is in the city, it's too far away. I'm now on vacation and stay at my grandma's house for a while."
The middle-aged man heard Han Jun's refusal and thought that he was young and was right to be a little vigilant. He didn't know him and asked to go to someone to see the stone. He smiled apologetically and told himself: "My name is Zhu Peijiang, I don't know what the young man calls me?"
"Han Jun"
"Oh, Han Jun, it's rare to meet a strange stone lover as young as you. If you want to make friends with you, my house is not far away. Why not go to me to see how my stones are?" Zhu Peijiang warmly invited. The greatest joy of collectors is not to find a satisfying treasure, but to let friends who are also knowledgeable enjoy the treasures together and share their success and joy together. To put it bluntly, it is "Showing off is the greatest pleasure for collectors."
Han Jun thought to himself, it seems that this person is a master, and he only came here to dig stones based on notes, and he doesn't know whether it's good or bad. It's better to go and see it.
"Do you have too many stones?" Han Jun asked intentionally, while Zhu Peijiang smiled and said nothing. "Okay. I want to see your stones too."
"Will you walk?"
Seeing that the stone had been loaded, Zhu Peijiang paid the full labor fee as agreed and drove Han Jun away. His home was not far from Fengshan Village, only a ten-minute drive away.
There were already several strong young people waiting at his doorstep, and they obviously knew that they would get a big guy back today.
Han Jun helped, and more than a dozen people put the stone that they had only been surrounded by hugging each other into the yard. As soon as they entered Zhu Peijiang's yard, Han Jun realized what a strange stone lover was.
The yard of more than 30 square meters is full of stones of various sizes, some are round and cute, some are weird in shape, and various styles.
Zhu Peijiang, who had sent the helper away, saw Han Jun looking at his stone and said proudly: "These are all average in appearance, come and come into the house with me." As he said that, he pulled Han Jun into his room.
Han Jun never expected that even greater shock was waiting for him. There were more stones in the room than in the yard. Apart from stones, there were stones, and a long bed, there was not even decent furniture!
"So many stones! When did you... start collecting them?" Han Jun asked in surprise.
Zhu Peijiang showed a hint of pride: "It's about 1983 years. It's almost ten years, and there are still many bad-looking people during this period, so I threw them away."
"This... is too many. Are you... just collecting stones?"
Zhu Peijiang nodded, his expression seemed a little lonely and turned into a fever: "Yes, I believe that these green stones are the underwater jades! There is no way for others to believe me, haha, they even called me Shi Chi... Hey, let's not talk about this, it's rare to meet a soulmate. Come and see, this piece, my baby."
As he said that, Zhu Peijiang picked up the green stones that were placed on the table and showed them to Han Jun, saying, "Looking at this pattern, based on my years of experience, this is definitely the best among the best!"
Han Jun saw that the stone was bright and bright, with a dark green and dark color. It felt as gentle as jade. The white stripes on it looked like water patterns, which looked like a rushing sea. An irregular bulge between them was like a strange peak. The entire stone pattern showed the image of a strange peak standing on the rushing sea. There were some yellow and white color blocks on the side of the strange peak, like an eagle flying by the strange peak, with a majestic momentum and naturalness!
"So beautiful!" Although I don't understand, I couldn't help but exclaim when I saw this beautiful stone.
"It's not bad. I named it 'Qifeng Prominence'." Zhu Peijiang smiled proudly. Finally, there was someone who could recognize him or someone who knew the goods. How could he be unhappy?
"My stone is not as good as this one." Han Jun shook his head and said with regret, "I don't know how to identify it. Uncle Zhu, how can you teach me both of your experience over the years?"
Zhu Peijiang laughed, "No problem. When choosing a stone, you must first look at its color changes. It is based on green, but it is not a single green. The dark color is dark green and dark black, the light color is pink and green slightly blue, and the color stripes such as yellow, white, and ochre are actually endless changes."
"Secondly, look at the changes in crystallization. It is mostly layered crystals, with different colors and light intertwined. Judging from its inclined faults, it often has a variety of curved patterns, which are quite beautiful. There are also mica crystals, just like many shining Venus particles."
"Three times, look at the changes in the stone quality. After a little bit of research, the luster of jade can appear. It is fine and solid, crystal clear and moist, and it is the best quality."
"Four-four views on the changes in the body. The shape of the Laoshan Green Stone is not like the Taihu Stone, and the caves are connected all over the body. It is impossible to require wrinkles and transparency, but it still requires that it has a beautiful artistic charm, a thin body shape, a strong momentum, and a 'natural and elegant demeanor'. See if this 'strange peak protrusion' fits these points?"
After saying so much in one go, Han Jun was extremely surprised. Although there was a lot of information about Green Stone in his notes, the identification was not comparable to what Zhu Peijiang said.
Han Jun nodded, admiring it in his heart. Although he didn't know about Laoshan Green Stone at all, it would not affect his love for it now. If he was a pseudo-stone fan just now, he could barely count it as half.
Han Jun, who was quite energetic, pestered Zhu Peijiang and told him a lot about green stones. Zhu Peijiang's "professionality" of green stones made Han Jun deeply admire him, and Han Jun's future trend of green stones was quite similar to Zhu Peijiang's intentions. According to the notes, although he did not know whether it was true or not, Han Jun still told Zhu Peijiang that these stones would reflect their value in the near future!
The two of them became more and more enthusiastic as they met, and they felt that they had a pity that they met too late. Before they knew it, it was already afternoon.
Looking at the sky, if I don’t go back, my grandmother is afraid that Han Jun said goodbye to Zhu Peijiang and the two made an appointment to go to the beach to catch stones tomorrow.
Since then, there has been an extra boy on the beach who holds a pickaxe and competes with the reefs in the sea all day long...
――
In the next two weeks, Han Jun went out early and came back late. He didn't do anything, but just went home like a rock, and the yard was full of people and piled up into the house.
Seeing that the house was almost filled with stones, Liu Meizhi said helplessly, "My little ancestor, what do you want to demolish the courtyard wall? Are you going to build another house for your grandmother when you get these broken stones?" He didn't beat this baby grandson, nor scold him, but he couldn't.
After two weeks of busyness, Han Jun's "power" has been greatly improved. His muscles looked stronger than the previous few days, his skin was tanned, and he showed a healthy bronze color. He pointed to the stones all over the yard and said, "Grandma, this thing is a treasure." Through communication with Zhu Peijiang, Han Jun made great progress in choosing stones. All the stones he dug back were stones of excellent quality. As for such things, he didn't want them at all.
"I have never seen anyone treating stones as treasures. Send them away quickly." Facing the stones all over the room, Liu Meizhi felt a headache.
"Don't. These are all my treasures. I'll buy a wolf dog to watch your home tomorrow."
"What kind of wolf dog do you want? Do you still want to get a wolf dog to show you these broken stones? I don't want to give me the money!"
"Hey, you have to watch too. Look, it will be a treasure in the future..." Before Han Jun finished speaking, a sound of brakes came from the door, and then the door was pushed open by several people in police uniforms. Han Jun looked closely and the leader was Liu Bin, his father's colleague.
Liu Bin is in his early thirties, not tall and gentle, but is a top student who is a professional criminal investigation student. He is considered his father's apprentice and often comes to his house to sit for nothing. Therefore, Han Jun is very familiar with him.
Han Jun was happy and shouted, "Uncle Liu, why are you here? Where is my dad?" Looking behind him, calculating the days, his father's task should be completed, but he did not see his father.
Liu Bin laughed dryly, saw Grandma Han Jun beside him, and greeted him: "Hello, Auntie." He turned to Han Jun and said, "Your dad asked me to pick you up, come with me quickly."
Seeing that his expression was extremely unnatural, Han Jun suddenly sank his heart. He greeted his grandmother and followed Liu Bin out and got on the bus quickly. There was a roar of the engine, and the jeep drove towards the city...
