Chapter 3 Ten Yuan Ancient Jade
I touched the piece of jade and rejected him, saying, "This is what I like, and I don't sell it for any money."
Actually, I can't believe that what he said is true, and there is another reason, I am waiting for him to take the initiative to increase the price.
But I looked at him for a long time with a thump in my heart, but the man didn't say anything, just stared at me for a while, chuckled, and told me that this is not a good thing, and if you wear it, it will be bad for you.
After that, he handed me a business card, looked at me deeply, and said, "If you figure it out, or something happens, come to me." Then he turned and walked away.
I looked down at the business card, the design is very exquisite, the upper left corner is a gossip, the back is a golden dragon, and in the middle is written: Huaxia Antique Deal, Pan Haigen. There is also a very common mobile phone number below, only, there is no address.
I was a little strange, but I didn't care, I thought, this time I should have found a treasure, since he is willing to pay 100,000 yuan, it shows the value of this jade, as long as he is worried about it, he will definitely come to me.
I have been in the society for so long, I can still see through the little shrewdness of a businessman, he just turned around and left, obviously wanting to get away with it, and finally said the words that were unfavorable to me to scare me, just wait for me to send it to the door, hum, I'm not so stupid, and the world is not just your family.
I complacently hung this piece of jade on my chest with a red thread, and then began to fantasize about selling it for a big price, buying a big house, bringing my parents from the countryside, and then taking a sum of money to build a big temple for the master, and then doing a small business, and no longer giving people a part-time job to see people's faces......
I was a little puzzled, so I deliberately wore a jade pendant to go to the antique street, but half a month passed quickly, and there was still no one to pick up the stubble, but occasionally some people looked at me with strange eyes, and when my eyes glanced over, I immediately turned my head.
Later, an old man stopped me and said that in the future, don't wear this thing, it's not good. I asked him what was wrong, and he wouldn't say, just shook his head.
I have been an unbeliever since I was a child, and I have been fooled by my master for so many years, how can I be fooled, so for the reaction of these people, I only think that they are deliberate, these antiques, all kinds of fancy intestines.
However, as time went on, I found that things started to go wrong in my life.
First of all, there was a crisis in the work, several negotiations collapsed in succession, and several of the original customers also ran away, and I ran around all day in order to pull performance, which was simply a broken leg and a broken mouth, and the result was still empty-handed.
Work is not smooth, I became more and more anxious, every day when I come home, look at the neighbor's cats and dogs are beginning to be upset, those cats and dogs seem to be able to feel the change of people's mood, the old cat downstairs saw me and ran, the yellow dog next door saw me desperately barked, I was speechless, it was really unlucky to drink cold water and stuff my teeth, and now even the beasts look at me unpleasantly?
That night, I tossed and turned until the second half of the night before I fell asleep, and in a daze, I seemed to have come to a hazy place, far away, a woman in white palace clothes was lying quietly on a jade platform, her face was shrouded in a light veil-like mist, lying there motionless.
It was a beautiful scene, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, so I wanted to see her face, but although we were only a stone's throw away, I walked for a long time, but I couldn't see her clearly.
Between us, it was like an insurmountable chasm, an insurmountable obstacle, I ran anxiously forward, but there was a light fog in the sky, and the faster I ran, the farther the distance, and finally the woman in white disappeared in the light mist.
I was in a hurry, and suddenly someone behind me tapped me on the shoulder, and when I looked back, it was the woman in white, with long hair covering her face, standing behind me with her hands down......
Then I suddenly woke up from my dream, my heart was beating wildly, and when I looked up, a ray of moonlight was projected in front of the bed, and I was lying alone in my cabin, and there was no woman in white.
But when I lay down and wanted to continue sleeping, I couldn't sleep, as soon as I closed my eyes, the figure of the woman in white appeared in my mind, standing quietly in front of me.
I had insomnia.
Since then, almost every night, I have had such a dream, the woman in white, sometimes lying quietly on the jade platform, covering her face with a light veil. Standing in front of me from time to time, with her head hanging down, covered the ground in white clothes, her long hair and shawl, her posture like a peerless beauty, made people shake and think, but I could never see her face.
I didn't know why, or if it was a dream or a nightmare, but in order to avoid long-term insomnia, I had to recite the Buddhist scriptures I had memorized several times before I could fall asleep. But even so, that strange dream often comes quietly when my spirit is relaxed.
The woman in white in the dream was like having an inseparable date with me, and she followed me.
I became mentally ill, every day my mind was groggy, cranky, lost, often alone in a daze, and then I actually had auditory hallucinations, always feeling that someone was whispering softly in my ear.
In this state, I walked and wrestled, spoke upside down, and reacted much slower than before, and the people around me were discussing, saying that I was out of love, I could only smile bitterly, Lao Tzu had never been in love at all, where did the lovelorn come from?
Finally, the boss couldn't bear it anymore, he said, give me another month, if you still can't get customers, or if it's still in this state, go get paid and leave.
I began to wonder if it was really a hoodoo as the man said.
This kind of uneasiness gradually grew, and I spent the whole day in uneasiness and anxiety, until one day, I found that the colleagues around me began to distance themselves from me, and seeing me was like seeing a ghost, and I was afraid to avoid it.
I became more and more confused, grabbed Yang Ji, who usually had the best relationship with me, and asked them what they meant, even if I was expelled, everyone would be a good friend, and they wouldn't use me as a broom star, right?
Yang Ji said that it was not that everyone did this on purpose, but that there was a terrible smell on your body.
I'm stunned, bad smell? This can't be, although the place where I live is simple, I also take a bath often, how can it be......
I lifted my nose and sniffed on myself, but there was nothing unusual, I was angry, grabbed Yang Ji and yelled: "You kid fooled me, what is the strange smell on me?" ”
Yang Ji said with a sad face: "I said don't be angry, that strange smell is like, like, the smell of a dead person......"
I froze, only to feel a basin of cold water splash on my head.
The smell of the dead?
Yang Ji said to me, "You better go back and take a good look, there is something wrong at home." ”
Something is wrong? I nodded, a hint of unease passing through my heart.
When I got home that day, I didn't do anything, and immediately turned it up in the house, but after looking for a long time, it seemed that everything was normal, I didn't have much things, nothing more than some pocket clothes, I checked a few times, and they were all good, no problem.
But when I finally checked the bed, I lifted the quilt and was stunned by the scene in front of me.
The bed I slept on was an old-fashioned wooden bed, left by the landlord, and at this time, the wooden bed was already covered with mold, and even the legs of the bed had appeared with mold marks, which were spreading to the floor.
When the bed was removed, the walls were covered with mildew, as if they had been soaked in water.
I gasped, only to feel a tingling scalp and goosebumps all over my body, this house has been so moldy and strict, no wonder I always feel cold around me recently.
But when did this mold start to appear? I remember making the bed last month ago and it was still in good condition.
A hint of cold air crept up behind me, and I suddenly remembered what the mysterious jade pendant and the antique dealer Pan Haigen said.
Could it be it?
I clearly remember that for more than half a month, when I was sleeping, this jade pendant was placed at the head of the bed.
I remembered that since I got the jade pendant, it seems that I have been in constant trouble and unlucky.
I'm afraid I can't keep this thing.
……
Early the next morning, I wanted to go to Pan Haigen and sell the jade to him, and then took the money and immediately changed places to live, but I didn't expect the boss to call me to a business meeting, but then I ate and drank again, and I didn't go home until late.
On the way home, I hurried my steps, thinking that I must go to Pan Haigen tomorrow, and I will have to dispose of this piece of jade anyway.
I was thinking about my thoughts, just turned the corner alley, and suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind me, and before I could react, a person grabbed my wrist violently, and a strong force came, and I was knocked to the ground.
"Robbery?!"
This is the first thought in my mind, but our place looks like a slum, and people walking here usually don't have more than 200 yuan on them, and they don't even let go of this?
I was about to struggle, but the man had a lot of strength, and as soon as I punched him, the man grabbed me by the wrist, knocked me down again, and then ripped off my clothes......
Holy, don't you...... Is it a robbery?
As soon as my chest was cold, it was already gone, and the man moved very quickly, ripped off the jade pendant on my chest, and gave me a punch to the temple, hitting me with stars in the eyes, and I could hardly see anything.
Then, in a trance, I saw a flash of cold light, and the man seemed to pull out a knife and stab me in the chest viciously!
