"Damn it, you unappreciative guy." Chen Qingdi grabbed Yuan Jiao, who was about to turn and leave, and stuffed a protective charm into his chest. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Let me show you today, the awesomeness of this protective charm, its formidable power."
"Stop it... Chen Da Shao, brother I really don't believe this thing." Yuan Jiong held the amulet in his hand and was about to throw it at Chen Qingdi. With a crying face, he said: "Big brother, my own brother, if you want to try this thing, go find someone else, can't you just grant your brother's request?"
Amulet?
Come on, who would believe in this superstitious stuff? I'm a proud young man from the great China, with no religious beliefs, and I don't buy into this nonsense.
If this thing is really useful, then I'll burn incense and worship Buddha every day.
Obviously, Yuan Dashao doesn't believe in this set. However, it's not just Yuan Dashao, even if you replace him with an ordinary person, they won't believe it either.
Yellow Talisman?
Superstition?
Only those who have experienced things will believe it for the sake of peace of mind.
"Shut up." Chen Qing's eyebrows rose, and he shouted angrily: "Can't you wait a moment? Take out the amulet and let me beat you up. Won't that prove whether this amulet is useful or not? I'm telling you, I've tried it myself, and it really works. Otherwise, do you think I'd be stupid enough to buy this amulet?"
"Ah... Chen Da Shao." Yuan You, clutching his amulet, took a deep breath and looked at Chen Qingdi with a serious expression, asking: "Chen Da Shao, have I offended you recently? Or are your hands itching to hit someone?"
"What's wrong with you, don't you know what's good for you? Am I, your brother, going to use such a lame excuse to beat you up?" Chen Qingdi couldn't help but roll his eyes, of course understanding what Yuan Jiao meant.
"You're not going to beat me up, so what's the point of taking out this thing?" Yuan Dashao shook the protective charm in his hand and sighed, "Forget it, considering you've been wronged for so long, I'll put up with it today. After all, my skin is thick, and I'm used to being disciplined by my grandfather. Go ahead and hit me, but take back this yellow charm."
"Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you, brother. Can't I just take it?!" Feeling the anger in Chen Qing's eyes, Yuan Da Shao felt extremely helpless. "Chen Da Shao, since there's no one around, let's hurry up."
"You don't believe me, you doubt me!" Chen Da Shao cursed loudly and kicked Yuan Da Shao's belly with one foot. Immediately afterwards, fists and feet flew towards each other, and a fierce beating rained down on Yuan Da Shao.
"Wow... Chen Da Shao, you really are something...!" Yuan Jiao exclaimed, and then he was completely stunned. "Huh? It doesn't hurt, this... this yellow symbol has actually... actually disappeared... what... what's going on here?"
"You hit me so hard, but I didn't feel any pain at all, and this amulet just disappeared out of thin air. Could it be... could this amulet really be useful?" Yuan Da Shao was incredibly surprised, his eyes shining brightly like he had seen a treasure.
"Now you know your brother didn't cheat you, right? Your suspicion is an insult to my intelligence." Chen Qingdi waved his hand and said lightly: "Alright, don't you have something to do? Go ahead and take care of it."
After finishing speaking, Chen Da Shao turned his head and left without any hesitation.
Brother, I was kind and sincere, spending so much time making this amulet for you. You not only didn't appreciate it, but also treated me like a fool.
Now Yuan Pangzi knows that this amulet is real, it's strange if Chen Dashao doesn't leave.
Can this be blamed on Chen Da Shaoye? If it's to be blamed, it can only be blamed on Yuan Chou herself.
"Hey... Chen Da Shao, don't go!" Yuan Jiong quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Qingdi's arm, staring at the protective charm in Chen Da Shao's hand with shining eyes. He chuckled and said: "Chen Da Shao, you said you were going to give that protective charm to me, but now you're taking it away? That's not very good, is it?"
"Aren't you the one who didn't believe in this? Aren't you the one who cried and begged me to spare you, asking someone else to experiment instead? Now you want it?" Seeing Yuan Jue's continuous nodding, Chen Da Shao raised an eyebrow and said calmly: "Sorry, I'm not in a good mood now, so no."
"Ah, Chen Da Shao, you can't do this! How could you treat your brother like this? Chen Da Shao, I...I was wrong, isn't that enough?" Yuan Jiu said with a pleading face: "You're a big person, don't hold grudges against little people. Just give me that protective charm, okay? You know how our old man is, he beats me up every other day. And there's another beating waiting for me when I get back home. It's so scary, I don't even dare to go back."
"With this amulet, I'm not afraid, not afraid, not afraid at all!" The 400-500 jin Yuan Dashao, under the scorching sun, continuously begged Chen Qingdi.
"I'm telling you, how come you still haven't gone home? Looks like you've done something stupid again, afraid of Old Master Yuan dealing with you?" Chen Qingdi rolled his eyes and tossed the amulet to Yuan Dashao, saying: "Brother, I'll let you off this once."
"Chen Da Shao, you're really a good person!" Yuan Jiao carefully put away the amulet and looked at Chen Qingdi with eager eyes, rubbing his fat hands together. "Chen Da Shao, good brother, my dear brother, do you...do you have any more? Give me 180 of them first, and I won't be afraid of Old Master's punishment anymore."
"One hundred and eighty pieces? You dare to say that." Chen Qingdi rolled his eyes and said, "Originally there were two pieces, but you don't believe me, I used one for experimentation, now only this last piece is left."
"Ah, it's gone!" Yuan Jiao suddenly looked disappointed and asked repeatedly: "Chen Da Shao, where did you buy this amulet? Tell me, I'll go buy one myself."
"In the antique market, however, the person selling the token has already left. Even if you go, you won't be able to find him." Chen Qingdi said calmly.
What did you buy? This is what Chen Da spent more than a few hours, failed over 30 times, and finally succeeded in making. Now there are only five left on the entire earth.
Apart from Chen Dashou, there is no one else.
"What a waste, this is too wasteful... just like that, a treasured thing was wasted. Chen Da Shao, you are really too extravagant." Yuan Da Shao's face showed a painful expression.
"Damn, brother, how did I lose the bet? If you didn't try it out, would you believe me? If you had believed from the start, would you have wasted a single sheet? The one who's really losing is you." Chen Qingdi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
It's actually your own fault, Yuan Da Shao, but you're shifting the blame onto Chen Qing Di.
"I... " Yuan Qiu was so angry that he wanted to slap himself hard, why didn't he believe it? Look, a super precious protective talisman was wasted in vain.
This defensive treasure, a magical and rare gem, where can I buy it again in the future?
"Chen Dashao, how long can one protective charm last? Is it enough for me to rush back home and withstand a beating from the old man?" Yuan Qiu asked with an expectant face.
One has already been used up, and Yuan Da Shao can only put all his hopes on time. As long as the time is long enough to let Old Man Yuan finish teaching, it won't be a waste.
"Ah..." Chen Qingdi nodded and said, "If you can make it home within half an hour, Old Man Yuan will only beat you for ten minutes, so you'll still be able to make it."
"Arrive home in half an hour? You... do you think I can fly? Besides, even if I could make it home, what's the use of having only ten minutes left?" Yuan Dashao said dejectedly: "My old man has never scolded me for being late by less than half an hour."
Of course, every time Old Master Yuan scolded Yuan Jiao for a long time, but it wasn't non-stop for half an hour. If that were the case, wouldn't Old Master Yuan be exhausted?
It's just indirectly mending the torn clothes.
"Chen Qingdi, you're really here." Just then, Lin Jingrou ran over.
Lin Jingru previously called Chen Xiangxiang to learn that Chen Qingdi had come to the school to find them. Lin Jingru didn't see Chen Qingdi, so she immediately thought that Chen Dashao must have come to find his best friend, Yuan Jiong first.
"Lin Jingrou, you're just in time. This is a gift for you." As he spoke, Chen Qingdi took out two more protective charms and handed them to Lin Jingrou in front of Yuan You.
"Chen Da Shao, you... didn't you say there weren't any left? How did two more appear? You're really breaking my heart with this." Yuan Da Shao's eyes gleamed with intensity as he stared at the two protective talismans now in Lin Jing Yu's hands.
"Chen Qingdi, what are you doing sending me two yellow talismans?" Lin Jingru's eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly, Miss Lin didn't believe this either.
"This thing is useless, what's the point of giving it to Lin Jingyu, she's superstitious anyway." Yuan Dashao glared at Chen Qingdi for a moment, then chuckled and said: "Lin Jingyu, I've been feeling a bit superstitious lately. You don't want this yellow charm anyway, why not give it to me?"
As he spoke, Yuan Dashao suddenly snatched the two protective charms from Lin Jingru's hands.
"This thing is a treasure, so Yuan Da Shao will definitely snatch it."
"Bring it here." Lin Jing said coldly.
"What's the point? You don't want it, and this broken amulet is useless, it's all a scam. If I wasn't superstitious lately, even if you gave it to me for free, I wouldn't want it." Yuan Chou couldn't help but take a few steps back, tightly grasping the amulet, unwilling to hand it over.
"Who told you I didn't want it? Yuan Pangzi, are you going to bring it or not?" Lin Jingrou took a step forward and coldly snorted: "Yuan Pangzi, since no one has collected your debts recently, have you become bolder? You even dare to snatch my things?"
Yuan You couldn't help but shudder all over, and took a step back. In the end, he was very reluctant, with a face full of unwillingness, and painfully handed over the two protective charms.
What kind of person is Lin Jingrou? That's the nemesis of the spoiled, even if Yuan Dashao has a big temper, he wouldn't dare to provoke Miss Lin's authority.
That comes at a terrible cost.
Yuan Dashao, although fat, is not arrogant and overbearing. He is a rational person who will not risk his life and health to prove Lin Jingru's sharp tongue.
So, Yuan Jiao obediently handed over the two protective charms, although it was very painful.
"It's okay, I still have one more, you guys go ahead and busy yourselves, I'll head home to receive my punishment." With that said, Young Master Yuan turned around and left. He clearly knew that he couldn't escape the scolding from Old Master Yuan.
Early to bed and early to rise.
"Yuan Pangzi, wait a minute, I still have something to discuss with you." Chen Qingdi was going to ask Yuan Jiong to provide some clothes, and then he would arrange the formation and make air-conditioned clothes.
"This time going home is really too perilous, let's talk about it when I'm back alive." Yuan Dashao left without looking back, determined to go home and 'collect his death'.
"I... rely..." Chen Da Shao rolled his eyes and shook his head, muttering to himself: "Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer for my air-conditioned clothes."
