Chapter 41 Chimeric Jade
It's impossible to know anything about martial arts.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten half to death by a cook making roast lamb.
So before he could answer, Wen Wan shook her head, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
When Wen En saw her talking to herself, her eyes became gentler. He raised his arms and said softly: "I have the strength."
"Yes, you have strength. You can knock down the house with your brute strength. You are the most powerful."
She whispered in a slightly sour tone, "You are so powerful, why didn't you resist in the roast lamb shop?"
Win En's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head, and after a long time, he whispered three words.
"I don't want to live."
He was disappointed with the whole world and everyone, so death was never something he feared.
He spoke in an understatement, without even the slightest change in his expression.
Wen Wan's heart shrank severely.
"Forget it before. Now that I finally rescued you, I can't waste my hard work. If you want to live well, let's just treat you as accompanying me, okay?"
The young man smiled and nodded, "Okay."

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the streets become more and more lively, with the shouts of vendors and various performers.
Wen Wan called Shen Zhou and the three of them walked down the street together.
After taking the two teenagers to buy pastries, she told Shen Zhou, "Take Wen En back first, I have to do something."
Shen Zhou had no objection and took Wen En's arm to leave.
But Wen En stood still, staring straight at her.
"Together."
He meant to go back together.
Wen Wan gave a dry cough with a guilty conscience, "We can't come together. I have private matters, girls' matters. You boys, don't get involved."
She suddenly realized the difficulties of mothers with children. No matter where they go, they drag their little followers with them and have no private life of their own.
Shen Zhou nodded repeatedly, "Let's go back. We are all adults. We can't always pester Sister Xiaowan. You are older than me, why are you so ignorant?"
Wen Wan gave Shen Zhou a thumbs up, "Well said."
Shen Zhou smiled proudly and pulled the reluctant Wen En away.
When Wen En left, he turned back three times, his eyes clearly showing displeasure.
"Hey." Wen Wan couldn't help but sigh, "It's really not easy to raise children."
Too clingy.

At the end of the busy East Street, there was a jewelry shop. She inquired about it and found out that this shop was the largest jewelry shop in the border town, and the master craftsmen in the shop were also top-notch.
When she went shopping a few times before, she pretended to want to buy chimeric jade and asked several shops, but only the people in this shop had heard of it.
The boy who answered her at that time said that the old master in the shop had once been lucky enough to open one, and he also gained knowledge along the way.
But unfortunately, the old master went to a shop in another city to handle business and would not come back until the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away, and since Wen Wan is out, she simply comes to the store to try her luck.
The clerk in the store actually recognized her and came to greet her from a distance.
"Girl, you are finally here. My master has been back for several days. I heard that someone brought chimeric jade to untie it, and the master is still waiting for it."
How many times in a lifetime can you see something of this level like chimeric jade?
No wonder the shop assistants are so concerned. Wen Wan stopped, "Although it is a rare good thing,... there are still rules."
The shop assistant nodded quickly, "I know, except for me and my master, I didn't tell anyone else. I saw you were too excited. Don't worry, we still know this rule."
"That's good."
Wen Wan then followed him to the backyard of the shop.
She didn't know what was in the chimeric jade. If it couldn't be seen by others, then it wouldn't cause trouble for her.
The master, who was over fifty years old, was sitting at a table by the window, with his back bent, polishing a red hairpin.
The boy happily opened the curtain and went in, "Master, the girl I told you about last time is here."
When the old master heard this, he immediately stood up and quickly came to Wen Wan.
He first bowed his hands and bowed, and then asked: "Does the girl really have chimeric jade in her hand?"
Wen Wan: "Yes. But..."
The old master had more experience than the young man and immediately understood her concerns, "Don't worry, girl, we craftsmen are only interested in the chimeric jade itself. As for the contents inside, we will never take a second look."

He turned around and picked up a black cloth towel on the table and explained: "When I open the jade pendant, I will cover my eyes. After you take away the things, I will take off the black cloth towel. We only hope that after the girl gets the things, Leave the jade pendant to us to play with. As for the cost of opening the jade pendant, we won’t charge a penny. What do you think?”
This old master is indeed a good businessman. No wonder he can make his shop the largest in the border town.
Wen Wan naturally agreed.
She took out the jade pendant from her arms, and the old master asked the boy to go out and guard the door. Then he blindfolded himself and sat back at the table to start working.
Wen Wan stood beside him, watching the master's movements carefully.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Even if the master is blindfolded, he can still hold various tools skillfully and complete a series of complex actions just by groping.
Time passed by minute by minute.
After half an hour, the chimeric jade finally made a slight "click" sound.
"It's done." The old master roared in surprise.
Wen Wan took the jade pendant. At this time, the jade pendant had been divided into two parts. It was not hollow in the middle, but two rings that fit together. There was a small space in the groove between the rings.
She carefully picked up an iron needle on the table and took out the contents of the groove.
It's actually a key the size of a grain of rice.
Wen Wan: "..."
Is such a small key meant to open a treasure box in the world of Lilliput?
Weird stuff.
Even she, who is well-informed, doesn't know what the key is for, but it is probably unusual for it to be put into the chimeric jade with such care.
She hesitated for a moment, then simply took off the necklace around her neck, put the small key in it, and put the necklace back into her neck.
Ancient clothes were very conservative. If you don't open the collar, you can basically not see this small key.
She patted her chest and then said to the master: "Master, you can take off the blindfold."
The old master responded, took off the cloth and took the empty chimeric jade from Wen Wan's hand.
Wenwan kept her promise, "I'll leave the jade pendant here with you. I'll pick it up tomorrow, okay?"
"Then I'd like to thank you girl," the old master said with a smile.
Wen Wan waved her hand, and her eyes fell on a jade ring on the shelf behind her.
"Master, do you sell the things on your shelf?"
The old master followed her gaze and said, "Girl, you know what's good. I just made that jade ring out of high-quality mutton-fat jade. It's the perfect gift for your sweetheart."
