Chapter 1 Worship of the Stone

The informant Lao Li sighed and said: "Old man Hu is a strange person, and he also has some savings, but he likes to nest in such a place, and I have no way, Miss Simon - for the sake of jade wool, you can bear with me." ”

Ximen Jinlian paid attention to the surrounding environment, it was really not very good, no matter how you looked at it, it was a bit like the scene of a supernatural event on TV, and such a scene was more suitable for robbing homes and houses, killing people and stealing goods.

Even, in the corner of the wall, she saw the garbage piled up on the ground, emitting the stench of decay.

"Is this an illegal building?" Zhan Bai took a deep breath and asked, but the air in this place is really not very good.

"Yes, it's going to be demolished." The informant Lao Li nodded and said, "The people in the neighborhood have basically moved away, and Old Man Hu still doesn't want to move-" Speaking of the last sentence, he shook his head and sighed, he didn't know what to say about an old stubborn man like Old Man Hu.

Old man Hu is also engaged in the jade wool business, he has made a lot of money over the years, and he is not without money, but he just likes to nest in such a place......

The taxi driver is also commonplace, leaning on the car, lighting a cigarette, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, Ximen Jinlian looked at the taxi driver's cigarette butt, thought about it or nodded: "How to go?" ”

"Miss Simon, please come with me!" Lao Li said as he walked towards the front.

Turning a corner in front of the wall, a dilapidated wooden door was revealed, the paint on the original door had long been mottled and peeled, and the original bright copper nails on it were even more rusty, and what was even more outrageous was that there seemed to be a stone lion or something in front of the door to suppress evil spirits, and now there are only two stone platforms left.

"This is a temple?" Zhan Bai asked suddenly.

"Hmm!" Lao Li nodded, but he didn't hide it.

"It looks like it's been a little old, why hasn't it been demolished?" Zhan Bai asked again.

Ximen Jinlian looked left and right, how could he not see that this was a temple? If it is a temple here, this temple is too small, and it is probably dedicated to the god of the land.

"Originally, there was a fire that burned all the backyards, so there are some messy buildings now." Lao Li said, pointing to the back and said, "Later, the front was developed to build the first generation of commercial housing, and this place was bought with money. ”

"This owner is really funny." A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Zhanbai's mouth, he had seen all kinds of weirdos, and now this owner of the goods was unintentionally a weirdo.

Lao Li smiled awkwardly, reached out to clasp the knocker on the wooden door, and slapped it twice.

After about two or three minutes, the wooden door creaked open, and it was opened by an old man of medium stature, dressed in a lake-blue robe, which, at first glance, was indescribably funny.

However, after seeing the lake-blue robe, Ximen Jinlian couldn't help frowning, and the past that had been sealed for a long time in her heart was touched again, and even faintly stinged......

"Old man Hu, I'll bring someone to see the goods!" Lao Li said directly.

"Come in!" Old man Hu didn't bother to say anything, opened the door, and let everyone in.

Ximen Jinlian and Zhanbai walked in, only to find that it was actually a small courtyard, where a rattan recliner was placed, and an old stool was placed next to it, and an old radio of unknown age was placed on the stool, making a sound that seemed to be there and no one could hear clearly......

Looking at the style of the radio, Ximen Jinlian had to wonder, where did he find such an old antique?

Old man Hu lay down on the recliner, half-squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "You take them to the east wing to pick up the goods yourself, and come to negotiate the price when you see it." ”

"Okay!" Lao Li agreed, beckoned Ximen Jinlian to walk towards the east wing, it was obvious that Lao Li was very familiar with Old Man Hu here. And the owner of the goods did not accompany the guests to see the goods, which is also a strange thing, Lao Li actually didn't say anything.

Ximen Jinlian asked in a low voice, "What is the origin of this old man Hu?" ”

"Who knows?" Lao Li shook his head and said, "It is said that he is not a local, and he didn't know how to come to Jieyang during the Cultural Revolution, so he started a jade wool business here." He is very good at gambling stones, has a unique vision, and really makes some money, but he has a very strange temper. ”

"What's the weird thing?" Zhan Bai asked.

"People saw that he made money and became rich, and he was still young at that time, so it was inevitable that someone would tell him to be a matchmaker, let him take a woman, have children or something, but as a result, he pushed them one by one, so far, this old man is also a person, and I don't know what he is doing with so much money, and he will take it to the coffin in the future?" Lao Li said as he opened the door of the east wing.

The old house is low and tight, and it is already dusk, and the light in the house is even darker, the informant Lao Li looked around, pulled the lamp head line, and a dim lamp lit up in the room.

Ximen Jinlian looked at it, the east wing room is not big, and there are some jade wool materials piled up on the ground in a mess, without exception, all of these wool materials are all gambling, and none of them have opened the window - looking at jade wool in such a dim light, it is really a test of eyesight.

But following the local customs, she can only admit it, immediately took out the flashlight from the bag, took a photo, picked a few pieces of wool with slightly better epidermis and looked at it, it was not bad, one of which was about thirty or forty kilograms, and it was actually ice green.

The other piece is only about ten kilograms, it is a piece of green with a light purple color, the color transition is good, but the purple color is too light, she knows this green with purple, commonly known as spring ribbon color.

Ximen Jinlian knows that once purple is cut out to make jewelry, the color will be more indifferent in natural light, and this color is not a strong purple and is not popular. However, the water head is good, shiny and jade, and it is also ice.

Ximen Jinlian thought about it, anyway, it's not big, buy it back and cut it, it's good to wear it as a jewelry you usually wear, after all, with glass bright green jewelry on the body, bumps and bumps, it's really inconvenient, and the gold silk red jade is even more inconvenient as ordinary daily wear jewelry.

This time, Ximen Jinlian didn't make any mysteries, and a weirdo like Old Man Hu seemed to be superfluous. Therefore, she directly beckoned Lao Li to come over, called Old Man Hu, and asked about the price of the two yuan.

Old man Hu is also cool, the glass is green, the price is 500,000, and the spring color is 200,000, a total of 700,000. And Old Man Hu didn't wait for Ximen Jinlian to speak, so he said bluntly: "Miss was introduced by Lao Li, I don't know if you know my rules here?" ”

"What rules?" Ximen Jinlian was stunned, the informant Lao Li didn't talk about it?

Lao Li was busy laughing and said, "Old man Hu, I haven't had time to talk to Miss Ximen about this yet!" As he spoke, he was busy explaining to Ximen Jinlian again, "In fact, it's nothing, it's just that the wool on Lao Hu's side is a fixed price, Lao Hu doesn't offer a false price, and you can't bargain, if you want to collect it, you can trade it directly." ”

"I see, it's also very cool." Ximen Jinlian nodded, it turned out that the gambling stone also had a fixed price.

"I'm okay with the price, but I didn't bring that much cash today." Ximen Jinlian frowned and said, "If it's late today, I don't know if I can transfer money tomorrow?" ”

"Naturally! I don't ask for cash transactions. Lao Hu nodded and said, "But if the lady sincerely wants it, please pay a certain deposit, and I will deal with the two pieces you want, otherwise, if someone comes to see the goods, I can't guarantee that I won't make a move." ”

Ximen Jinlian nodded in agreement, thought for a while, and asked, "Mr. Hu only has these wool here?" "Since this person is a weirdo, and the informant Lao Li also said that he has a good eye, how can he only have so many pieces of wool?

"There are still some wool materials in the west wing, but the price is on the high side!" Old man Hu said.

"Can I see the goods?" Ximen Jinlian asked.

The price is too high, Ximen Jinlian personally feels that although Old Man Hu is a fixed price, but judging from the performance of the two pieces of wool just now, his asking price is not high, even if he opens a false price, if she makes a counteroffer, at most it will be returned to this position, and the jade wool has a certain floor price, which will not be too low, especially some well-behaved full-bet wool.

It was still the informant Lao Li who took Ximen Jinlian and Zhanbai towards the west wing, and when he passed by the small courtyard in the middle, Old Man Hu was lying on the rattan recliner in the courtyard again, and in an old radio next to him, there was a sound that I didn't know if it was a song or what, low and shallow, like the sad voice of a woman in the south of the Yangtze River.

At that moment, Ximen Jinlian almost had an illusion, suddenly returning to her childhood, where the teacher was lying in the courtyard, listening to the messy voices in the old radio that she couldn't understand at all......

Low and shallow, it is not clear whether he is listening to the radio or the radio is moaning helplessly.

Her gaze fell on Old Man Hu's lake-blue robe again, and in the hazy night, the original lake-blue turned into a touch of black, which made people feel as simple and blurry as this night......

And when the informant Lao Li walked towards the West Wing with Ximen Jinlian, Old Man Hu's gaze fell on the hollow carved hosta on her head.

The west wing, which is also a dilapidated and low bungalow, is also a dim lamp, swaying in the night, and there are some jade wool piled up on the ground, which is still a full gamble, but the performance is much better than that of the east wing just now.

Ximen Jinlian felt that she really didn't come in vain this time, and Chen Chen didn't come over to see the goods together, which was a big loss.

Just facing the room full of wool, for a moment she didn't know where to start, to be honest, if you just look at the appearance of the jade wool, she is a new tender in a new tender, completely only slaughtered, but if you want to see through all the wool in the west wing, it is absolutely not with reality.

Therefore, Ximen Jinlian thought about it, and still found a few pieces of wool that were pleasing to the eye to see.

Shining with a flashlight, she was the first to match a piece of gray-green skin, about two kilograms of wool, according to the gambling stone information she memorized, it was preliminarily determined that this piece of wool should be from Houjiang Factory.

The main reason is that this piece of wool is so small and tight that it rests on top of a piece of black black sand fur wool.

Ximen Jinlian squatted down, took the piece of wool and looked at it, there were silky pine flowers, the sand on the skin was very delicate, if it was green, it should be a glass species.

She was too lazy to study, and directly used the ability to see through, but the result made her very disappointed, the glass species is the glass species, but only close to the skin, there is a trace of green, after buying, it is difficult to get the material.

"Forget it......" Ximen Jinlian put down this piece of wool, turned to look at the black black sand skin underneath, and shone it with a flashlight, and couldn't help frowning - the performance of this black black sand skin is not very good, there are a few pine flowers faintly, and there is no reckless belt at all, and the skin is also slightly rough, far less than the performance of the small gray-green wool just now.

Next, Ximen Jinlian looked at more than a dozen pieces of wool in a row, but the results were not very good, even some of the good performance, there was no good water and good jade, although there were also some wool worth gambling, but her interest was not here.

"Look at two more pieces, forget if you are not satisfied, continue to visit Jade Street tomorrow!" Ximen Jinlian muttered in her heart, it is impossible to expect that every time you look at the goods, you can find the best jadeite, so when you think about it, you can feel at ease.

And the last two pieces of wool she aimed at were about twenty or thirty kilograms, not very large, and the skin of both pieces was brownish-gray. Ximen Jinlian first touched the slightly larger piece with her hand, the skin was delicate, but there was no loose flower belt.

In fact, Ximen Jinlian was very curious in his heart, just now Old Man Hu made it clear that the wool in the West Wing is higher than the price of the East Wing, so in this way, it should be all the goods he is optimistic about, but how can the performance not be good? Although when she was looking at the goods just now, she also found a piece of glass, but the water head is really not good, dry and stomach-turning, although the color is green, it is black and green, and it is not good to cut it out to make jewelry, so she naturally gave it up.

Shaking his head, this old man is a weird man, and weirdos can't figure it out if they do things normally.

Lao Li was standing at the door of the West Wing, and Zhan Bai was also standing at the door, both of them with their backs to the door, so she could use her ability perspective almost unscrupulously. Simon stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the brownish-gray wool, and the brownish-gray skin faded under his eyesβ€”

It turned out to be a colorless glass species? Ximen Jinlian was curious, colorless glass has only been hot in recent years, and it is highly sought after by some little girls, but she doesn't like this color-like glass very much.

But what's wrong? The color of this colorless glass species seems to be a little yellowish? Could it be that the effect is not in the dim light?

However, if the naked eye is affected by light, can the palm eye also be affected? Ximen Jinlian remembers very clearly, even in the pitch black, the palm and eyes are not affected.

In this way, the original color of this colorless glass is a little yellowish? Perspective into about four centimeters, Ximen Jinlian was stunned, the whole wool seemed to appear a watershed, the original yellowish color suddenly turned to bright yellow, like a gold-like color, the crystal is more delicate and luster......

"Huang Fei?" Ximen Jinlian flashed these two words in her heart, but Huang Fei is not loved by everyone, I heard that only that kind of chanterelle yellow, the price is high, and the color of this piece in her hand is not too bright, but with a color that only gold will emit under the light, relatively speaking, it is lighter.

Yellow is the same as purple, once processed into jewelry, under natural light, it will appear more light, so if the color is not strong enough, it is definitely not sought after. But this piece of Huang Fei is an authentic glass species, the water head is transparent, and the crystals are also very delicate, and the texture is very good.

Ximen Jinlian muttered in her heart: "Forget it, buy it back and make it into a decoration to, after watching it for a long time, you can't work in vain, anyway, as long as the price is not too outrageous, you won't gamble." ”

This piece of seeing, the other piece of nature also want to see, looking at the skin and size, the same is brownish-gray, remembering the gambling stone information I have seen, these two pieces of wool should be from the wood cutting factory.

Cut wood to produce more yellow and red jade, and there is white mist or yellow mist on the surface......

Ximen Jinlian then remembered that the gambling stone still had to look at the fog, and immediately raised the flashlight, first studied the piece of yellow Fei wool carefully, and sure enough, so if you look at it carefully, you can see the faintly visible yellow fog under the epidermis.

No wonder these two pieces of wool were placed in the west wing, so it seems that the old man Hu is really a master of gambling stones.

After looking at Huang Fei's, it was natural to look at another piece, Ximen Jinlian touched it with her hand, the woman's unique sensitivity and delicacy made her feel that this piece of wool did not seem to be as delicate and smooth as that piece of wool, but compared with many wool materials, the texture was still good.

Shining with a flashlight, with the experience of that piece of yellow fei, this time she easily saw a faint yellow mist and red mist entangled under the epidermis.

"Is it a two-color one?" Ximen Jinlian secretly said in her heart, lucky today?

Thinking in his heart, Ximen Jinlian's right hand has been pressed up, through the brownish gray surface, the epidermis is a little thick, no wonder it doesn't look so delicate, it is more than three centimeters through it, and it is still a stone with white flowers, and it is not outstanding.

Ximen Jinlian frowned, could it be that the judgment was wrong? Then he smiled with relief, where is there so much jadeite? But before she could think about it, she felt suddenly suffocated, and what appeared in her eyes was actually a touch of pale red. This red is not bright, but it is a carmine that many girls like very much, with the unique warm color of spring sunset and sunset, and it is also warm in people's hearts.

The texture is very delicate, not as rough as the appearance, and even has a faint waxiness, between the ice species and the glass species, not as transparent as the glass species, but more thick and heavy.

Ximen Jinlian has an indescribable liking in her heart, if she gets married in the future and wears jewelry of this festive color, it will be called good-looking.

"Phew!" Ximen Jinlian couldn't help but take a sip gently, her face was hot, where did she go?

And with the perspective in, the color inside is not a separate light red, at the bottom of the light red, there is a yellow belt only two fingers wide, the color is not too strong, not as bright as the yellow fei just now, a little more deep, with that light red, the transition color is bright and distinct, very perfect.
