Chapter 37: The Green Beads

Trains to the Pristine District run only once a day, arriving at the market around 7pm every day.

Yang Luo happened to have something to buy, so he wandered around the bazaar.

In his previous life, he struggled to "escape" from the Western Wilderness District to the Border Wilderness Market, and then because he was not qualified to board the train, he stayed in the market for nearly a month.

And in that month, Yang Luo discovered something strange.

"It should be here."

Yang Luo looked up and saw that this was a "jewelry store", which looked very dilapidated.

After the peacetime passed, the value of gold and silver has been increasing, while the value of items such as jewelry and jade has been depreciating every day, so much so that these things are now about the same price as the plastic products in the two-dollar shops in peacetime, or even cheaper.

Yang Luo walked in.

As in my memory, the interior decoration is very casual, looking a little shabby, and there is a sign standing next to it, which reads "Those who buy more, can sell by catty".

The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a blue overalls that seems to have been worn for a long time, and has been washed a little white.

He was hosting a 16 or 7-year-old human girl.

"Girl, you're really not worth much, don't embarrass me." The shopkeeper returned a fine gold silk jade pendant to the little girl in his hand, and his face was a little helpless.

The little girl looked dejected, put the pendant away, wrapped her head in a turban, thanked her, and turned away.

"What do you want from this guest?" When the boss saw another guest coming in, he hurriedly bowed his waist and asked with a smile.

Yang Luo walked to the counter, his gaze swept over the jade, but his brows frowned slightly.

"Boss, do you have a green bead here?" Yang Luo asked.

He swept around, focusing on the places he remembered, but he didn't find what he was looking for.

"Green beads?"

The shopkeeper shook his head when he heard this, "I have a good agate bead chain here, do you want to take a look at it?" ”

Yang Luo frowned.

"Could it be that I came early?"

It was a month after he came here in his last life, and now he came a month earlier, and it seems that something hasn't happened yet.

For example, the green bead has not yet appeared.

"Little brother?" Seeing that Yang Luo didn't speak, the shopkeeper said again and again: "If you want green beads, I'll go to my friend's place and ask, you can come over at any time in a while!" ”

The owner clearly doesn't want to miss out on every customer.

After all, the jewelry business was a bit difficult to do in the wasteland era.

Yang Luo nodded and said, "Then the boss should pay more attention, I am estimated to leave by train in the evening." ”

"Huh? Definitely, definitely! When the shopkeeper heard that Yang Luo was the one who was going to leave by train, he was startled for a moment, and then nodded again and again.

You must know that the people who can afford to ride the train are all cattle people with unusual status.

Because to buy a ticket for the "Hope" train, not only does it cost 100 gold yuan, but you also need some special people to come forward to buy a ticket!

Yang Luo didn't stay any longer and quickly left the jewelry store.

Not long after Yang Luo left, the masked girl who had left before re-entered the store, and prayed as soon as she entered: "Boss, I really need that money, you can have pity on me and accept this thing from me." ”

The girl took off her golden jade pendant again.

The boss looked embarrassed: "Little girl, don't embarrass me, if you came 20 years earlier, I can accept this jade at a high price, but now even if you bring Hetian jade, I can only give you a maximum of two gold dollars, as for this pendant, I am already very kind to give you a gold dollar, I must have been to other jewelry stores to see it, right?" How much money do they give you? ”

The girl opened her mouth, full of helplessness.

She did go to other jewelry stores, but the most they offered was 50 silver dollars.

During the Wasteland Age, the price of gold and silver skyrocketed, and it became the common currency of this era.

1 gold dollar is equal to 100 silver dollars.

Seeing that the girl was still entangled and refused to leave, the boss could only shake his head, ignore it again, and then took out his mobile phone and made a call.

The border area has its own base station, but the coverage area is also nearby, and it cannot be connected with other areas.

As soon as the phone rang, the boss hurriedly asked, "Old Tan, do you have any green beads over there?" ”

The girl who was about to turn around and leave suddenly stopped when she heard the boss's words.

There seemed to be a voice on the phone.

Then the boss looked disappointed: "No? You look for it, and if you find it, call me immediately. ”

After that, he hung up his phone and continued to call others.

During this period, I found green jewelry, and after the owner contacted him, he was ready to pick it up for a while.

In his eyes, a person like Yang Luo, who can take a train to the primitive area, must be a very powerful person, so he must "tie up", what if it is a big business?

"I said, girl, why are you still here?" After the shopkeeper made the call, he was speechless to find that the girl with her hooded head was still standing in the store.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then said, "I happen to have a green bead here, I don't know if you can accept it?" ”

As she spoke, the girl took out a small cloth bag from her pocket, and the mouth of the cloth bag opened towards the palm of her hand, and then she saw a round green bead slipping out of the small cloth bag.

The material of this green bead looks like a stone that has been polished smoothly, and the overall appearance is not crystal clear, and there are many impurities in it.

"This ......"

The shopkeeper looked left and right, a little unsure, and he didn't know if the previous customer wanted this kind of green beads.

The girl's heart was extremely worried.

This green bead is actually a stone she picked up in a river, and she looked at the special color, so she installed it herself, which has no special meaning, and should be worthless in terms of price.

After hesitating for a moment, the girl took out the gold wire pendant again, put it on the counter, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give you both, a total of 5 gold yuan!" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head directly: "Two gold dollars." ”

The girl took a step back: "Four gold dollars!" ”

"Three."

"Deal!"

After a short bargain, the deal was successfully completed.

The girl was holding three gold dollars in her hand, and there was a touch of incredulity in her eyes, and she didn't seem to expect that she would take out a random stone and sell it for a higher price than a gold wire pendant!

It's just that the girl who walked out of the jewelry store didn't notice that in a corner not far away, there was a man of different races staring at her figure with a crimson eye.

The girl walked in one direction, wrapped in a cloth around her head and covering her face.

This kind of dress is very common among women of different races.

Then the girl took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.

As soon as the phone rang, an elegant and intellectual woman voice with a slightly anxious tone came from inside: "Shilan, where have you gone, hurry up and come back to me!" ”

The girl named "Shilan" showed a smiling expression and was about to say something when a sharp blade suddenly struck from behind.
