Chapter 24 Chapter Twenty Two

"Look, what is this?" "Oh, a lovely jade cicada. Where did you get it?" Yin proudly said: "I won't tell you!" She carefully put Yuchan back into her small basket. Shu Jie sat leisurely on a tall tree, while Xiao Yin sat in his arms, her two little feet dangling in the air.She looked at the golden stalwart stone pillars reflected by the setting sun in the distance, and then she took out the jade cicada, held it up in front of Shu Jie's eyes, and said, "Look, is this thing... worth it?" Shu Jie smiled and said, "Why, do you want to sell it?"

"Yeah." Yin said honestly: "You should have seen something like this outside, right? Mother said it was very valuable, right?" Shu Jie didn't know how to answer for a moment.Although the workmanship of the jade cicada is exquisite, it is a pity that the jade body itself is too inferior to be considered good, and the style should be an item from the former Shu Kingdom. It is not hung around the waist like witches or Zhou people, but hung around the neck to ward off evil spirits. I am afraid no one will buy it.Yayu casually said that it was worth money, but he didn't expect the six-year-old Yin to take it seriously.He thought for a while and asked, "Tell me first, what do you want money for?"

Yin whispered: "I'm just telling you, don't tell my mother. I... I want to go to Jingguo to see my sister. I haven't seen my sister for a long, long time." Yin's sister has committed suicide, and I don't know how to tell Yin about this.Shu Jie hugged her tighter, took out from his arms a piece of ancient warm jade that was worn by King Shang Tang when offering sacrifices, and said: "I don't know if it's worth it or not, how about it, I have a piece of jade here too, I I will exchange it with you first, and then sell it outside the mountain. If I get a good price, I will bring it back to you, okay?"

Yin took Wen Yu, looked at it carefully like an adult, and said: "Ah, what a beautiful jade, is it very valuable?" Shu Jie smiled and said: "It's about it. But I think, I'm afraid it's not worth as much as you. Just wait patiently for my good news, little girl, maybe your sister will come back before it's sold." Yin laughed heartily and said, "Jie, you are so kind! When I grow up, I will do something for you!" "What's the matter?" Yin patted his chest solemnly and said, "Be your wife, okay?" "Yo, that's a big deal!"
