Chapter 139: Diamond Street
"Don't go out today, have a good rest, tomorrow I will take you to visit the lively diamond street, and then there is a large diamond exhibition about to be held, let's take a good look." Huo Jun sorted out his luggage, and at the same time gave Xi Yizheng a brief description of the itinerary for the next few days.
"Good" Xi Yizheng smiled and saw him busy like a competent househusband, which felt good and warm.
South Africa's diamonds are famous all over the world, not because of the amount of diamonds produced, but because Australia has the largest number of diamonds produced in the world. The reason why the word South Africa immediately conjures up images of diamonds is nothing more than its fame, which originated from a dazzling diamond. And then the "Heart of the Ocean", which became a crazy love of the world, was also produced in South Africa. That's enough, what could be more heart-warming than such an honor.
"I thought you'd take me on a vacation to the beach." Xi Yizheng leaned on Huo Jun leisurely, sitting on the hanging basket swing on the hotel's open observation deck, enjoying the starry sky of South Africa and enjoying the coolness.
"For example?" Huo Jun's whispered words with a clear smile went straight to her soft heart.
"Like your villa in the Mediterranean." Xi Yizheng smiled mischievously, and was about to leave his embrace, but he was clamped by his hands hard, leaned over, and kissed her red lips. As he tossed and turned, he snorted in displeasure: "Knowingly asked"
Xi Yizheng had a smile in his eyes, and his hands were wrapped around his neck, with her so natural movements, Huo Jun's eyes darkened, and he hugged her and wantonly deepened this emotional kiss.
The Mediterranean villa is almost no longer his private property. Since Dongfang Luming took Feng Minzhi to stay overnight on a certain trip, he has to take time to go there for a stay almost every year. Later, Xi Yidi listened to Dongfang Luming and praised how the Mediterranean villa was beautiful and the temperature was pleasant. It's out of control. Xi's father and Xi's mother also went to live for a few days, Xi Yidi took Yuan Xin to live for a few days, Xi Yidi was even more outrageous, pulled a few good members of the special group, formed a team, went to Europe for a ten-day tour, and lived in the villa for several days. All this, of course, was discussed with Huo Jun in advance, and it was also approved by him. It's just that now Xi Yizheng is naughty to tease him, and he naturally wants to punish her for this. Of course, the end result of the punishment, the first night of the two in South Africa, tossed to their heart's content until dawn.
So, on the second day, I had planned to go to the famous Diamond Street in the morning, but it was already afternoon when I left.
"Okay, stop pouting. Let you sleep well tonight, okay? Huo Jun funnily pinched the tip of Xi Yizheng's soft and straight nose, and said in surrender. The two had just enjoyed a five-star lunch, and as soon as they returned to their room to change their clothes, they were ready to set off to admire the diamonds of the mesmerizing eye.
"Don't be skinny." Xi Yizheng wrinkled her nose, honestly she had a hard time believing his commitment to this aspect. Every time I say it's just once, and the result is ...... It's like it's past tonight, and it's not tomorrow night. Ahh But that's just the way it is. She glanced at him as if complaining, and at the same time did not forget to beat her sore and weak waist.
"Of course. I promise. Seeing this, Huo Jun immediately nodded yes, and at the same time took over the movements of her hands and helped her massage her waist.
Diamond Street, as the name suggests, is that all the diamonds sold on this street are sold.
Of course, there are also many greedy traders who use fakes that look like diamonds to deceive tourists. It's like the situation in Jade Street. If you don't understand diamonds, don't take it lightly, it's a fake one out of ten that you can buy.
So when Xi Yizheng followed Huo Jun into South Africa's commercial street, which was comparable to the highest tax, and the bracelet in her hand faintly transmitted a very strong aura fluctuation, she couldn't calm down. Heaven, she forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and held Huo Jun's hand hard, and her palms were almost stained with sweat.
Huo Jun looked at her suspiciously, "It's hot?" "Although it is noon and the temperature is not low, after all, the whole street is closed, and the air conditioner is not weak, so it will not be hot and sweaty.
Xi Yizheng shook his head when he heard this, and he couldn't tell him that he could distinguish the authenticity of a diamond, and even the quality grade of each diamond could be identified without much effort.
Huo Jun shook his head when he saw her, pulled her to the lounge first, bought two bottles of water, unscrewed one bottle, and handed it to her: "Sit down for a while, maybe it was last night...... You didn't rest well. ”
He saw the sweaty palms of her hands as uncomfortable and put the blame on himself. I couldn't hear Xi Yizheng crying and laughing.
"It's really fine, it's just a little excited when I first came in." Xi Yizheng grabbed Huo Jun's arm and comforted him softly: "I've never seen so many diamonds gathered together."
Huo Jun saw that she really didn't look uncomfortable, so he took her to continue shopping on Diamond Street with confidence.
Xi gathered his mind with the zheng, followed the thick aura sensed by the Xuan bracelet, and pulled Huo Jun in that direction as naturally as possible.
When I walked in, I found that it was a very small shop with simple decoration.
Xi Yizheng felt very weird, it shouldn't be, the quality and color of the diamond are consistent with its appearance, not as difficult to identify as jadeite wool. How could such a strong diamond smell be in such a humble store? Is it true that the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys? However, diamonds are not wine, and they also have a mellow wine flavor to attract customers.
Thinking like this, he pulled Huo Jun into the shop.
Although Huo Jun was surprised, he had always put her first, not to mention that this honeymoon trip was originally to expand her pearl shop, so he followed her into the shop without saying a word.
"Anyone?". Xi Yizheng asked fluently in the official language. After a year of advanced study in Italy, her spoken English has improved a lot, and her pronunciation and intonation are almost the same as those of the aborigines.
"Yes, yes." With a greeting, a woman about forty years old came out of the inner chamber.
"What do you want to buy?" The woman was wiping her wet hands with a dry towel, and she was supposed to be doing laundry before, and there was still a little soap bubble on the back of her hand.
"Boss, are all the diamonds you sell in your store here?". Xi pointed to the three-metre-long counter, which does not have many diamonds on display, and is a shabby shop compared to other lavishly decorated and large, sparkly shops. However, the more humble and narrow the shop is that sells jewels and jade, the fewer customers will patronize. It's a vicious circle.
Hearing this, the woman's face floated with astringency, and she wrung the towel in her hand unnaturally, and explained sneeringly: "Actually, there are still some diamond wool ore in it, but because there is no manpower, it has not been opened yet." She glanced up at Xi Yizheng and saw that she was listening intently to herself and not shaking her hand away like everyone else, and she felt a little grateful.
And Xi Yizheng was overjoyed when he heard her say that the diamond ore, but his face naturally did not show anything.
"Boss, how many raw ore do you have? To tell you the truth, I also opened a pearl shop in my own country, and I came to South Africa to buy some diamonds back, if you have a large amount of raw ore, I will consider it. Xi Yizheng finished talking about his plan in one breath, since the bracelet also has a sense of diamonds, he is not afraid to look away, although the original ore needs to be time-consuming and laborious to unravel, but it is better than buying some diamonds that have been fixed and can no longer be cut by themselves. During the cutting process, you can also add the unique symbol of "Sweeping Jewels".
"Yes, there are quite a few, if you are interested, you can come in with me to have a look." When the woman heard Xi Yizheng's words, she was also very excited.
It was left behind by her deceased husband. It's just that after so many years, even if there are occasional customers who come in to bargain for diamonds, there are almost no interest in that pile of diamonds. In fact, the shape of the diamond mine is too much like ordinary gray sand, and I am afraid that when I buy it, I will find that there is no shadow of a diamond in it. And she is alone with her sick son and has to take care of the store, where does she have the energy to solve them one by one. I hope that some customers can buy them all, even if they recover some of the resettlement costs over the years.
Xi Yizheng nodded with a light smile, showed the woman to lead the way, and entered the inner room.
As soon as I entered the inner room, I smelled a very strong smell of Chinese medicine. Xi Yizheng raised his eyebrows puzzled, and there seemed to be a cork in the medicine that blindly treats hydronephrosis. Immediately, I saw a young man of fifteen or sixteen sitting on the couch by the window, with a sallow face and a slight puffiness.
"This is my son, sixteen, just ...... Alas. When the woman saw Xi Yi staring at the young man on the sickbed, she casually explained.
"What's wrong with him other than hydronephrosis?" Because of hydronephrosis alone, depending on the puffiness of his face, it will not be a sickbed.
As soon as the "guest" woman heard Xi Yizheng ask, she was surprised to hold Xi Yizheng's hand, and then found that she had overrun, so she shyly let go of Xi Yizheng.
"Well, I know a little bit about medicine. However, I look at his face, so that he can't lie down and can't get up, right? Xi Yizheng shook her head to show that she didn't mind her excitement.
"Well, it's his legs...... There was a car accident a few years ago, and the perpetrator escaped, and we ...... The doctor said that the limb should be amputated, otherwise it would ......," the woman said sadly, and could not help crying loudly. Over the years, the mother who has always remained calm and strong in front of her son, in front of a stranger who has only one side, can't help but shed her heart and cry.
"Alas" Xi Yizheng and Huo Jun glanced at each other, but they couldn't withstand the sourness in their hearts, this is a strong mother. It is so clean and refreshing to be able to take care of the immobile teenager for several years, although the room is filled with a strong smell of medicine, but it doesn't feel like a room for people who can't get up and urinate and can't take care of themselves. It shows the woman's patience and tenacity.
"I'll try my best." Xi Yizheng faced the woman's expectant gaze and couldn't help blurting out.
If the boy's meridians hadn't shrunk or deformed, she would have made sure to restore him to their original state, including his hydronephrosis, which was not a serious illness. It's just that, in this way, he will inevitably have to tell Huo Jun the secret of his bracelet.
Xi Yizheng looked at Huo Jun and met his deep and affectionate eyes.
