Ji Zixuan opened the door, and what caught his eye was a weak old man lying on the bed, Ji Zixuan said respectfully: "Patriarch."
The patriarch nodded, beckoned Ji Zixuan to the bed to speak, I was secretly surprised, carefully looked at the patriarch of this village, I heard that he lived for nearly a hundred years, and he still stuck to the village and guarded the villagers, which made people feel admired.
My eyes were full of admiration, and I also followed Ji Zixuan's back and stepped forward.
The patriarch sighed and said to Ji Zixuan: "Child, you must already know what happened, so I don't need to say more."
Ji Zixuan nodded, and the patriarch took out a brocade box carved with plum blossoms from under the pillow, and the lines on it were very exquisite. It is obviously a thing that has been around for some time, but there is no defect in the slightest, and it is still like a brand new one, and it can be seen that the owner cherishes it very much.
I've always loved these beautiful things, and I couldn't help but take a closer look.
The patriarch clenched his hands into fists and coughed a few times, and put the box in Ji Zixuan's palm: "Child, I have something to explain to you, help me hand over this token to my junior brother Bai Laoba, if he sees this thing, he will understand everything."
Ji Zixuan accepted the box and agreed to the patriarch's request. The patriarch glanced at him with relief and ordered the people below to bring the phone.
He dialed Bai Laoba's number, wanting to ask his junior brother for something, who knew that there was only a cold mechanical sound on the other side, he shook his head helplessly: "My junior brother has always been alone, coming and going without a trace, and there is no news at all."
Ji Zixuan smiled, "Maybe he's busy, but since the patriarch and junior brother are not here, where can I find him?" ”
The patriarch patted his head and sighed, "I'm really old, I almost forgot to give you the address."
He wrote and drew on the paper and handed it to Ji Zixuan: "As long as you go to City C to find this jade shop, Bai Laoba won't be able to escape, go, I'll wait for your news here."
"Okay," Ji Zixuan put away the address, "The patriarch, you can recuperate here, I'll go first." ”
The patriarch waved his hand, and then lay back on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.
After leaving, I couldn't control my curiosity and poked his arm: "Hey, what kind of person do you say the patriarch's junior brother is?"
Ji Zixuan didn't know what he was thinking, he suddenly laughed out loud and looked at me playfully: "Do you want to know so much?"
I looked at him with wet eyes in my eyes and nodded.
His smiling face immediately pulled down and glared at me: "You dare to care about other men in front of me, are you tired of being alive?"
I flattened my mouth, a ghost can be jealous, today is really an eye-opener.
Ji Zixuan also glanced at me: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, are you saying bad things about me in your heart."
I smiled obediently and took his hand: "Alas, don't wronged me." Didn't the patriarch order you to go to Bai Laoba, let's go quickly. ”
He snorted coldly behind me, and I shook my body and walked forward pretending to be innocent.
Ji Zixuan has always done things neatly, we left immediately, and soon arrived at the jade shop.
The plaque outside the jade shop reads "Bai's Jade", and the decoration is okay, but there are no customers inside, and it looks a little deserted.
Inside, there was a good-looking young man in his twenties, wearing an ordinary white shirt, sitting at the counter and fiddling with his abacus.
I just wanted to say that this boy is good-looking, but suddenly I thought of Ji Zixuan's jealous expression just now, and thought to myself, forget it, don't provoke this jealous ghost, if he beats me up in anger, I will be miserable.
At this time, Ji Zixuan stepped forward and knocked on the door of the store and pushed it open, the movement was a little loud, the young man raised his head and looked over, and smiled politely: "Sir, welcome to our store, do you want to buy the finished product or buy jade?"
He greeted Ji Zixuan skillfully, Ji Zixuan stepped forward and pretended to be a guest to buy jade, and I was too busy to follow.
Looking at the dazzling array of jade and crystal clear jade in the counter, I sighed, if I had these things, wouldn't I be a rich woman?
Ji Zixuan didn't bother to pay attention to me, and the young man was still talking, and I was waiting on the side boredly.
He suddenly stopped talking and walked towards me, I looked at him in a daze, and saw that his face was a little heavy and couldn't help asking, "What happened?"
Probably because my voice was a little loud, the young man glanced over here, Ji Zixuan blocked my body and whispered to me, "I guess he has already seen my identity."
"How so?" I subconsciously whispered, "Aren't ordinary people unable to see your identity?" ”
He shook his head: "Didn't you notice that his face changed as soon as he saw me come in, I think he had already noticed that I had a problem."
I was a little stupid in my head, and when he mentioned it, I seemed to really remember that when Ji Zixuan first opened the door, the young man was vaguely not right, especially his eyes were a little strange, as if he had seen something bad.
However, if this young man really knows Ji Zixuan's identity, he can still talk to him casually, I have to say that he is really a talented person with great courage.
"There are really not many people who can see my identity, if he is Bai Laoba's second apprentice Chen Xiang, then it makes sense."
I looked hesitantly, and the young man sat there with a blank face, looking in our direction like a statue, and I couldn't help but shudder.
"He seems to have misunderstood our intentions?" I turned my head to seek Ji Zixuan's opinion.
He sighed, "That's right, I have to explain my identity, otherwise he will probably blow us out of the store in the next second."
The first time I saw Ji Zixuan would be so embarrassed, I couldn't help but snicker.
He raised his eyebrows and leaned in front of me with a sinister smile, tugging at my fleshy face: "Silly girl, what are you laughing at?"
I rolled my eyes, the flesh on Miss Ben's face was not plasticine, did it feel so good to pinch it? I tore his hand off from the guts and pushed him to get to know this Chen Xiang again.
Just when Ji Zixuan was about to speak, a woman from a bathing center on the opposite side rushed over.
She was wearing a uniform specially issued by the bathing center, and it seemed that she should be the young lady in the bathing center.
Chen Xiang greeted her as usual: "It's Sister Meina, is there anything wrong with coming here?"
The two of them are still acquaintances, Ji Zixuan and I glanced at each other, and continued to watch.
That Mina was full of smiles and looked very happy: "Chen Xiang, there is a guest who is very generous today and gave me a piece of jade, you can help me see if it is worth it."
Chen responded, took the jade handed over by Mina, and used the optometry machine to shine into it a few times, the jade was crystal clear, without too many impurities, and it was warm and moist, which can be called a good jade. It's just that his brow is getting tighter and tighter.
Mina saw that her heart was bottomless, and her voice was a little weak: "Chen Xiang, what do you mean by this expression?" Could it be that this jade is not good, you name it, I can accept it. ”
Without speaking, he wrapped the jade in a white cloth and took a black object and pressed it against it.
I saw Chen Xiang's strange behavior on the side, and I couldn't help but ask Ji Zixuan beside me, "What is he doing?" Mysterious and mysterious? ”
"This jade is strange, he is using a magic weapon to suppress the evil in the jade." Ji Zixuan explained carefully.
I nodded ignorantly, and at this time Chen Xiang had already suppressed the jade with a magic weapon, touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Sister Meina, I'm really sorry, your jade is really not a good thing, I'm afraid it can only be used as an ornament."
Hearing this, Mina was a little frustrated, and she nodded: "I know, I just troubled you Chen Xiang." Alas, I said that I would not have any good luck, before a sister saw this jade and told me that this jade looked valuable, and asked me to take it for inspection, I thought I was stepping on shit luck, but it turned out to be ...... Forget it, eat a trench and grow a wisdom. ”
She sighed, and just wanted to take the jade away, Chen Xiang suddenly pressed her hand: "Sister Meina, you don't need to be disappointed, so let's put this jade here, how about I give you a piece of fortune jade in return?"
Mina was a little incredulous: "Is that the treasure jade that you kept boasting about before?"
Chen Xiang hesitated and said yes, took out the piece of fortune jade and put it on the counter, "To be honest, this piece of jade is also a treasure that has been treasured in our store for a long time, but for your sake, I will give it to you." ”
Mina happily picked up the jade and looked at it, rubbing it in her hand, and exclaimed: "It's really a rare good thing to look at it like this, Chen Xiang, thank you."
Chen Xiang smiled, saw her holding the lucky jade in her arms, the baby was amazing, and then left happily.
He breathed a sigh of relief and took out the piece of jade just now, and at this time Ji Zixuan suddenly said next to him: "This jade is from Thailand, it is very evil, you better not stay in the store."
Hearing his words, Chen Xiang noticed Ji Zixuan, and the vigilant expression on his face gradually softened: "Mr. seems to have studied this jade a little."
Ji Zixuan shook his head modestly: "It's just a little rough, it's not very good."
Chen Xiang didn't think so in his heart, and being able to see the location and attributes of jade blurted out that it was produced could only show that he not only had research on jade, but also achieved good results in this field.
He didn't dare to underestimate this guest at all, and his tone became more and more respectful: "The little brother has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive me, I don't know what kind of understanding Mr. has about this?"
I was secretly shocked, surprised that this Ji Zixuan had used what means to make this Chen Xiang's uniform obedient, obviously this kid was still indifferent to Ji Zixuan just now.
Ji Zixuan smiled, and seeing that Chen Xiang no longer resisted his identity, he stepped forward and asked him to give him the jade to take a closer look.
