Chapter 397: Xiangyu is the same as Xiangren
Seeing that the local tyrant listened carefully, the fortune teller continued to tell his story: "After escaping from Yunnan, running across the border, and running to Myanmar, I was penniless, even if I had money, the Burmese side did not recognize our money, unlike now, they began to collect RMB." ”
"After I came to Myanmar, I found that the living conditions of the local people were not as good as before our liberation, there were no factories, no shops, and everyone who passed by was dependent on farming for a living.
"These are not the most important things, the most important thing is that there are still wars, warlords, guerrillas, wars, famines, and chaos everywhere."
"Fleeing here, I am not familiar with life, and I don't understand the language, if I were an ordinary person, I would either be shot indiscriminately, or starved to death and eaten by wild dogs, where would I be able to live until now."
"Fortunately, I have ancestral physiognomy, at that time, in order to save my life, I calculated a hexagram for myself every hour, calculated where there was danger, and I should pay attention; Every time you walk a section, count the next hexagram, and figure out where you should go next. ”
"Relying on this ancestral physiognomy technique, I not only avoided all kinds of dangers along the way, but also relied on it to find where there were wild fruits, where there were hares that broke their necks, and where there were wild fish trapped in the shallows, so I filled my stomach."
"Along the way, I finally came to a city that changed my life, and it would be an exaggeration to say that it was a city, and now it is at most like our county seat in the 90s, when it was about the same level of development as our township."
"This small city is called Wacheng by our Chinese, and their locals are called Mandalay, a city full of gambling, which can make people go from nothing to billionaires in an instant, and can also make billionaires bankrupt in an instant."
"After two rounds around the city, it dawned on me that I was born to do this and that no one could be better at it."
"After figuring out this, I tightened my belt, and I looked out stone by stone, and counted stone by stone, which one can rise and which one will collapse, I know in my heart."
"After working hard for a long time, after I was happy, after I calmed down, I suddenly found that I was busy in vain, and I didn't have a dime on me, even if I knew which one could go up and which one would collapse."
"Thinking of this, my heart was cold, and after tightening my belt again, I walked around hungry and aimlessly."
"Wacheng is very small, I quickly finished a circle, came to a place where cut stones, and saw a merchant cut a large stone of eighty or ninety pounds into pieces and cut it into a pile of small stones, but it was all black and black, and there was not a trace of jadeite."
"He spoke Cantonese, and through his scolding, I could tell that he had a bit of an accent from my hometown, probably because he had fled to Hong Kong before, so I went up and tried to calculate a hexagram for him in exchange for some money to fill his stomach."
"I didn't know that he gambled on the stone and collapsed, and when he was angry, he sprinkled his anger on my head, and he scolded me if he didn't dare to ignore it."
"Originally, I wanted to tell him to make another cut on the cut lid, and it would be green, but when he scolded me, I was also annoyed and decided not to tell him."
"He scolded me a few times, I scolded back a few words, and finally he couldn't scold me, so he had to leave in a hurry."
"The merchant is gone, and the owner of the stone cutting shop doesn't like this pile of shit and throws them away."
"So, I followed, and as soon as the young man threw away the scrap, I hurried up, pulled out the lid, and held it tightly in my hand, which is a matter of whether I can eat and drink spicy food in the future."
"I breathed a sigh of relief when I got the lid, and the young man looked at me with a sneering expression, this beggar didn't want a stone, I didn't think I would have to pick it up, and I still valued it very much. Seeing his ridiculous face, of course I was not convinced, and explained to him that this was a baby, of course he didn't believe it, saying that I had a problem with my brain, and I wanted to go crazy with Jade. ”
"Of course, I spoke Chinese, and he spoke Burmese, but at that time, we actually communicated, and although we couldn't understand each other's words, we understood each other's meaning."
"In the end of the argument, none of us were convinced, in order to earn who was right, so he took me back to the stone cutting shop secretly, and while the boss was out, he turned on the machine and cut a knife for me."
"Five minutes later, the lid was cut off, and we each saw a little finger-sized green in the middle of the port."
"Seeing this scene, he was stunned, and kept stretching out his thumb to speak to me in a babbling language, although I couldn't understand what he said, but seeing his adoring expression, my vanity was greatly satisfied."
"To thank him for cutting the stone for me for free at the risk of being scolded by his boss, I gave him half of the lid."
"He saw that I was so generous, so he enthusiastically had to untie the half of the lid in my hand, and as a result, he found a piece of glutinous Zhengyang green jade the size of a small thumb."
"I took this little thing, found an overseas Chinese, sold it, and finally I have the capital to gamble on stones, and I can go to the market to pick the stones I like."
"With the money, I first went to the Overseas Chinese Hotel for a big meal, then found an overseas Chinese hotel, took a bath, and slept beautifully."
"The next day, with enough energy, I started my journey of jade rough, and with yesterday's money, I started to buy and buy."
"I bought all the rough stones that didn't show much on the outside, but could rise on the inside."
"Blame me for being too greedy, I was going to cut them all and sell them right away, and buy the jadeite that performs well but has a relatively high price, and when cut it is ice glass seed."
"With the few stones I bought, I came to the stone cutting shop where I cut stones yesterday, and when I came there, I was happy, it turned out that the young man who cut the stones for me now has a blue nose and swollen face, and one hand is discounted."
"When he saw me, his eyes were fierce, and he looked like he wanted to seek revenge on me, but I didn't know the reason at the time, and I looked puzzled."
"It wasn't until later that I learned that he took the half of the lid I gave him and sold it, and he didn't have the courage to cut it himself, but sold it to a local brother at a high price."
"As a result, the eldest brother collapsed, and there was only a thin patch of green, and nothing could be done. When the local underworld brother saw this situation, his face immediately changed, so he beat the young man hard, his hand was discounted, and at the same time, the money he just collected was also snatched back by the underworld brother. ”
"He knew that I could find jade from a pile of scraps, and he also saw me cut out a piece of pendant material, and knew that I was sharp-eyed, so he thought that I was deliberate, and deliberately gave him a piece of material that was bound to collapse, and he was discounted by the big brother of the underworld, so he was ruthless to me from then on."
