Chapter 8 Potential

The beer was brought over, but the crowd didn't feel like drinking it for the time being, they just waited for a few girls to come back to see what was going on.

This wait lasted for 10 minutes, and when Ma Tao couldn't sit still and was about to go out to find them, Yang Lulu came back with the two girls first.

"What's going on?" Ma Tao asked hastily.

"It's none of your business! Overall, you're the one who's nagging all over the place! Can you be quiet?" After going out for a while, Yang Lulu's mood obviously changed a lot, and she said unceremoniously.

Inexplicably eaten, Ma Tao felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly, but he saw that Yang Lulu was in a bad mood now, so he didn't flirt with her as usual.

"Lulu." Li Mour called her.

Yang Lulu glanced at him, and sighed mournfully.

"Lu Qianqian's family has an accident." She said in a low voice with a complicated tone: "Her father was found to have advanced liver cancer, and he will not live for long."

Li Mour opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"I remember, didn't Lu Qianqian's mother just leave last year?" Yang Feiyu hesitated for a moment and asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes, it's also cancer." Li Mour nodded, his tone low.

Everyone fell silent.

"Lu Qianqian's family has run out of money. Her mother spent all her family's savings on medical treatment and borrowed a lot of money from relatives. Now her father has collapsed again..."

Li Mour was silent. Lu Qianqian's family was just an ordinary working family. They could save a little when they had nothing to do, but they couldn't support it when they were seriously ill.

Yang Lulu said in a low voice: "She won't go to the university to enroll in September, and she will go out to work with her cousin to earn money and pay off her debts."

"She isn't going to college anymore?" Li Mourn was startled.

The school that Lu Qianqian was admitted to this time was very good. If she just gave up this opportunity and went to work in other places, it can be said that her life would be ruined.

At this time, he also understood why Lu Qianqian had such a reaction just now.

The classmates are all glamorous, each with a bright future, but I have become a working girl serving tea and water for them. Such a psychological gap, let alone a girl like her who is originally introverted, is a shameless girl like Ma Tao. Boys without skin can't stand it.

"Her father's hospitalization money is borrowed now, how can he still go to college." Yang Lulu sighed.

Li Mour frowned, he didn't expect the situation of Lu Qianqian's family to be so bad.

At this time, the other students in the box also knew what had happened to Lu Qianqian, and they all started talking in low voices, and the previous atmosphere disappeared.

Not long after, Chu Xue came back from the outside, her eyes were red, obviously she had just cried.

"Tell me, if we come to a fundraiser now, can it work?" Chu Xue asked after sitting down, looking at everyone.

Apparently she wanted to help Lu Qianqian by collecting donations.

"It's better not to, not all the students have money." Li Mour glanced around, and saw that many students showed embarrassment on their faces.

Everyone is still a student, and the only source of income is the pocket money given by their parents. There is not much in the first place, and it is spent quickly, so most of them have no money.

At this time, when a fundraiser is launched, what should those students who have no money do?Not only does it embarrass the students who don't have money, but also the students who donate money will feel dissatisfied, which finally makes everyone unhappy.

"Forget it then." Chu Xue was slightly disappointed.

"Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we're done."

Li Mour made up his mind, going to find Lu Qianqian later, if possible, give her some help as much as possible.

Although what happened to Lu Qianqian was regrettable, it did not happen to me after all. After the initial discussions and regrets, the topic about her fell silent not long after.

Not everyone can empathize.

The dinner was over soon. After eating, Ma Tao led the students to a nearby KTV that he had found a long time ago, and booked two luxurious large boxes to start karaoke.

Li Mourn did not sing along to the past, at this time he had already arrived at a hospital.

In the hospital corridor full of the smell of disinfectant, Lu Qianqian walked ahead with her head down, holding a lunch box with her hands clasped. This is the lunch she brought for her father.

Li Mour, Yang Feiyu, Chu Xue and a few others carried the fruits and other things they had just bought, and walked behind her.

They are all classmates who are usually close to Lu Qianqian, and now they come to visit her father together.

"You don't need to come..." Lu Qianqian whispered: "Thank you."

She, who was already very introverted, suffered such a heavy blow, and became very closed in front of them. She lowered her head and her voice was very low when talking to anyone.

Chu Xue, who had the best relationship with her, did not speak, but walked beside her and held her hand.

It didn't take long to arrive at the ward. The ward was located on the eighth floor. It was an ordinary room with three beds. Besides Lu Qianqian's father, there were two other patients in the ward.

Lu Qianqian walked quickly to her father's hospital bed with the lunch box in hand, put the lunch box on the cabinet next to her, and whispered to her father.

Her father was pale and haggard, and even needed Lu Qianqian's help to sit up from the bed.

Everyone who saw this scene had a heavy heart, knowing that his situation was already very pessimistic.

After learning that his daughter's classmates came to see him, he seemed very happy, and repeatedly called everyone to sit down.

Lu Qianqian took her lunch box out of the ward first, and went to the microwave oven to heat up food. It was already past one o'clock, and it was already late to eat, not to mention that her father was still a patient, and she couldn't easily go hungry.

Chu Xue followed, and they pooled some money with her. She just took advantage of this opportunity to be alone with Lu Qianqian, and handed over the money to Lu Qianqian.

In the ward.

"It's really hard for you, there is no place to sit here." Lu Qianqian's father said a little embarrassed.

"We don't need to sit, just stand." Several people said this one after another.

Li Mourn's eyes fell on the printed slip on the cabinet next to him. It was the medical bill issued by the hospital every morning, and he saw that it had already shown that it was in arrears.

"There's nothing to entertain you, let's eat some fruit." Lu Qianqian's father turned sideways as he said, going to pick up the apples on the ground beside the bed.

But now he was seriously ill, weak and weak, and his right hand, which was propped on the edge of the bed when he bent down, couldn't support him, and he suddenly leaned down, and he was about to fall off the bed.

Before the others could react, Li Mour had already rushed up and supported him in time.

"It's okay!"

"Fortunately, Li Mour is quick, otherwise..."

"It was really dangerous just now."

Only then did Yang Feiyu and the others react, and hurriedly gathered around to check the situation, talking a lot.

Lu Qianqian's father also looked terrified. Although the hospital bed was not high, he still had a tube inserted into his body, so the consequences of falling would be unpredictable.

"This classmate, thank you very much." He said gratefully to Li Mourn.

"Uncle is too polite." Li Mour carefully supported Lu Qianqian's father's body and helped him up, "It's just a little effort, there is nothing on you..."

Before he finished speaking, his words suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on the string of rosary beads that he accidentally touched.

It was a string of rosary beads that Lu Qianqian's father wore on his wrist. It was black and inconspicuous. It looked antique and had a sense of history. In fact, everyone knew that it was a street stall that was sold everywhere.

Just when Li Mour accidentally touched this string of rosary beads, his fingertips numb slightly, and an extremely cold breath surged into his body from the string of rosary beads.

And in his line of sight, the attribute information also jumped out automatically, behind the attributes such as strength, body sensitivity, a few small words slowly emerged.

[Potential absorption: 1%...3%...5%...]

"This is a souvenir that Qianqian's mother bought when she was traveling the year before last, and she has been wearing it since she bought it."

Lu Qianqian's father noticed Li Mourn's gaze, "I was going to throw it away after her mother left, but later I thought about it as a thought, so I kept it and put it on for myself. If you like it, I can give it to you."

"Auntie's relic, uncle, you still..."

Li Mour was about to decline, when his face suddenly changed slightly.

According to Lu Qianqian's father, this string of beads was bought by Lu Qianqian's mother the year before last, that is, the year before her death.

After Lu Qianqian's mother died, her father put on the rosary in remembrance, and just one year later, he was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer.

Both were diagnosed with cancer a year after wearing the rosary. Is this striking similarity a coincidence or...

Li Mour looked at the slowly increasing potential in his sight, and had an answer in his heart.

"Thank you uncle, I'm really interested in this rosary." After a quick consideration, he didn't refuse, and chose to accept the rosary.

"It's a worthless little thing, nothing to thank." Lu Qianqian's father laughed, not noticing the change in Li Mour's expression just now.

Not long after, Lu Qianqian came back after the food was cooked, and she was shocked when she heard what happened just now, and thanked Li Mourning again.

Lu Qianqian's father started to have lunch, and after chatting for a while, they said goodbye to him and left without stopping any longer.

at the elevator.

"You guys go down first, I have something to talk to Lu Qianqian." Li Mourn said to the people in the elevator without rushing in.

Chu Xue nodded, pressed the door close button, and the elevator door closed slowly.

"Where's your phone?" Li Mour stretched out his hand and said.

"What do you need a phone for?"

Lu Qianqian was a little puzzled and took out her mobile phone.

"I was interested in this rosary of your dad, and your dad gave it to me directly."

While talking, Li Mourn called up the payment QR code from her phone, and took out her phone to scan the QR code.

"It's okay if it's an ordinary thing, but the beads on it are all genuine and more expensive. It's really inappropriate for me to just keep it, so I'd better buy it."

While speaking, he transferred [-] Asian dollars to Lu Qianqian's mobile phone.

When Lu Qianqian heard the payment collection message ringing on her mobile phone, her eyes turned red, and she hugged Li Mour and burst into tears.

She knew that the string of rosary beads was an ordinary street stall worth only a dozen yuan, not a valuable item at all, and what Li Mour said were all excuses to help her.

She shouldn't have accepted it logically, but she really needed the money so badly.

"Go and take care of uncle." Li Mour patted the girl on the back and said softly.

For a talented girl, all the blows she has encountered are too cruel, and this kind of heavy is not something she can bear at this age.

Although he really wanted to help Lu Qianqian get out of the predicament completely, he still didn't have the ability. This ten thousand Asian dollars was the only help he could provide to the other party now.

He kept buying all kinds of fighting skills on the dark web, and customized a sword. The money was spent very quickly, and now Li Mour only has this Wanya Duoyuan left on him.

"Thank you." Lu Qianqian let go of Li Mour, with tears in her eyes, "Thank you very much."

"Goodbye."

Li Mourn didn't say anything more, and walked into the elevator.

It was only when the elevator doors closed that Lu Qianqian turned and left wiping her tears.

……

……

After leaving the hospital, Li Mourn did not go back with Chu Xue and the others, and separated from them on the pretext of having other matters at home.

As soon as he got into the taxi, he took out the string of rosary beads and began to observe and study them carefully.

Although what happened to Lu Qianqian's parents was horrific, and they were all vaguely related to this rosary, but Li Mourn was not too afraid. It took Lu Qianqian's parents to wear it for a year before they were diagnosed with cancer. He only had contact with it for a while, so there was nothing to be afraid of. .

This string of rosary beads is composed of [-] black beads in total. It looks like it is made of black jade, but the real material needs to be identified through professional identification.

After studying for a while, Li Mour suddenly discovered some clues.

With two fingers, he carefully twisted the dark red square pendant at the bottom, which was only the size of a fingernail. When he pinched this miniature pendant, the cold feeling suddenly became stronger.

The speed at which the potential in sight increases has also accelerated a lot.

"The real source of potential is this pendant on the rosary?"

When Li Mourn thought of this, he pulled hard with his fingers, and the small square plaque was torn off from the string of beads.

"really……"

As he guessed, after losing the small square card, the rosary no longer had that cold feeling, and the potential stopped beating.

When he picked up the small square card again, the potential resumed its growth again.

Li Mour silently looked at the small dark red square, but he didn't have the knowledge reserve in this area, so he couldn't see what the small square was, so after observing for a while, he put it away together with the rosary.

He has a cousin who is in the antique business, and he plans to go to that cousin tomorrow to see if he can figure out the origin of this thing.
