Chapter 85 Amber

Chu Xuan kicked hard at the place where his foot was hurt.

A black, ugly, stone-like object was kicked away.

It fell right into the sea.

The tide is still receding.

When the blocky object was washed by the sea water and exposed to the sea surface again, it was no longer black, but became as crystal clear as sapphire.

Attracted Chu Xuan's attention.

Chu Xuan walked forward, picked it up, and examined it carefully.

This thing doesn't look like a gem at all. It has lines on it, and the key point is that there's a bug wrapped inside it.

"This... this is amber, right? The insect amber among amber?"

Suddenly I remembered an incident in my previous life. A woman picked up a piece of amber, which was bought by a foreigner for 10,000 yuan.

It seems to be this kind of insect amber.

By chance, small insects or reptiles are wrapped in dripping resin, and after millions of years of petrification, insect amber is formed.

It has a high ornamental and collection value and is very expensive.

Blue insect amber should be more valuable, right?

Thinking of this, Chu Xuan hurriedly wiped the mud and sand on the amber with the corner of his clothes, making it look even more dazzling.

Put it in your trouser pocket.

She couldn't keep this thing for herself, so she planned to discuss it with Mu Chenze after she returned, and decide whether to split the money equally or keep it and sell it in a few years.

She continued to go to the beach and did not notice Mu Chenze standing not far away.

Mu Chenze deliberately didn't say hello to her, but in fact he had already seen her pick up a strange object.

As long as he doesn't bring it up, he can leave it to her alone.

The distribution of the fish catch was decided in advance, and it didn't matter to him whether he got a share or not.

He waited silently there for more than twenty minutes before calling out to Chu Xuan, "Brother, how about going to the sea freight today?"

Chu Xuan didn't respond. Instead, she happily put on her backpack and ran towards him, "Mu Chenze, I have something good to show you."

After standing still, he took out the shocking piece of amber, which was as big as an adult's fist, from his pocket.

Mu Chenze held his forehead. He had waited so long for nothing. Why was it so difficult to get Chu Xuan to eat something for himself? "You really don't hold anything back. It's really a good thing. Just keep it for yourself."

Chu Xuan slapped Mu Chenze on the back. "You big fool! This amber is worth a lot of money! It can be sold for at least ten thousand yuan! In ten years, it might be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions."

Mu Chenze staggered when he was slapped. He wasn't angry, but his eyes widened in shock. It took him a long time to recover. "It's just such a small thing, but it's more valuable than gold? There's a bug in it, right?"

"That's right. It's worth so much because of this bug and its color. Think about it, should you sell it or keep it and sell it again in a few years?"

"You found it, so you can decide for yourself. No matter how much it sells for, I won't ask you for a share of the profits. This thing isn't a fish catch, you just got lucky to find it."

Faced with Mu Chenze's generosity, Chu Xuan didn't want to say anything more and put the amber back into his pocket. "Whenever I want to sell it, I will definitely split the money with you. If I find another piece, we will each get one."

Mu Chenze muttered softly, "Even if you give me money when the time comes, I won't take it."

Walk forward.

After walking a few steps, I felt a bump on the sole of my foot. "You can't really be so sure. Can I pick up a piece too?"

Bend down and dig sand.

A black stone the size of a fist was dug out.

Chu Xuan was even more excited than Mu Chenze, "Go wash with sea water quickly."

"good."

As a result, they took turns washing the stones for half an hour, but they were still black.

Mu Chenze wanted to throw it away, but was stopped by Chu Xuan, who decided to keep it as a souvenir.

Mu Chenze stuffed it into Chu Xuan's hand and said, "This is for you."

Seeing that the tide was about to rise, they did not stay any longer.

After returning to the shore, Chu Xuan wanted to share some of the green-scaled fish with him, but he refused.

"This is just a small amount of catch we caught today. I don't like it. Take it back and add it to the dishes for everyone!"

"Thank you on behalf of everyone!"

Chu Xuan's face was filled with a contented smile.

Mu Chenze sighed, "Are you still planning to hide this from me? The whole village knows that you were taken away by the security team for questioning and then released."

When I heard about this, I didn't even bother to go home to catch up on some sleep, but came straight here.

Chu Xuan looked relaxed. "I'm fine now, don't worry! The ones in trouble are the couple who wronged me. But you, didn't catch up on your sleep, did you? Can you still hold on?"

Mu Chenze walked forward and said, "When I was making money, I could stay up for three days and three nights without any sleep."

Chu Xuan immediately followed up, "It seems that men's shirts are selling well."

Mu Chenze smiled, revealing his neat white teeth. "That's right. Thirty dollars each, and I sold thirty-five. That's over a thousand dollars in revenue, and a net profit of over five hundred dollars. This time, it's all thanks to you and Xiaofeng."

Chu Xuan said modestly, "I didn't help much. It was mainly Xiao Feng's credit."

"I heard Xiaofeng has always wanted a watch, so I bought one for him today."

Mu Chenze didn't feel any pain when talking about this.

Chu Xuan was about to decline politely when Mu Chenze said, "If you dare to refuse, I will directly give Xiao Feng a profit, six dollars per item!"

"Mu Chenze, you have money but nowhere to spend it, right?"

"I'd love to!"

Chu Xuan couldn't do anything about him, and finally realized that as Mu Chenze's buddy, he could only take advantage of him.

Seeing Chu Xuan remained silent, Mu Chenze deliberately changed the subject, "I heard that Liu Dapeng testified for you?"

"Yeah. Thanks to him today."

"Actually, I can testify for you." After saying this, Mu Chenze immediately explained, "Don't get me wrong, we are brothers. I definitely want to be the first to testify."

"I appreciate your kindness. But you left my house after ten o'clock last night. How can you testify for me? Are you going to lie to the security team? That's not an option. Besides, our past story has been widely publicized. Even if you testify for me, the security team may not accept it. Liu Dapeng is the most suitable witness."

Mu Chenze chuckled, his face calm, "Your analysis is correct. I'm glad you're alright. Go home early! I'll go back and catch up on my sleep too. I'm really sleepy right now."

"good."

The matter of the watch was never mentioned again.

When they reached the village entrance, they both went home.

Mu Chenze returned home, locked the door, went into the bedroom, and prepared to catch up on some sleep when there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me! Liu Dapeng."

Mu Chenze was surprised. What was this guy doing here?

He yawned, suppressed his sleepiness, walked to the gate and opened the bolt.

"Liu Dapeng, what do you want from me?"

Liu Dapeng felt a little embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

Mu Chenze was speechless. "I haven't slept for nearly 24 hours. If you don't tell me, I'm going back to bed! A grown man, but you're so fussy!"

Liu Dapeng mustered up his courage and said, "I came here to ask you, do you like Chu Xuan?"

The sound is very small, like the buzzing of a mosquito.

Mu Chenze was stunned by the question. Why did this guy ask such a question? It seemed unnecessary for him to answer.

Liu Dapeng thought he hadn't heard and asked again, "Do you like Chu Xuan? Are you going to marry her? Is there really a misunderstanding between you two?"

This time the voice was a little louder.
