"Panpan, where is this?"

Liu Meiping looked at the remote surroundings, and her heart was still worried.

The previous shock had not subsided, and there was a very strange place in front of me.

The neighborhood looked like it had been deserted for a long time, uninhabited, and in front of it was a long alley, dark with no end in sight.

Only a few dim street lamps on the main road outside emitted an orange glow, but they were insignificant in the middle of the night.

Shi Pan didn't seem to be a stranger to this place, she took Liu Meiping's hand and walked inside, and said something to appease.

"Don't be afraid, the community can't go back for the time being, I'll take you shopping."

"What kind of street are you shopping on this big night? It doesn't look like there's anyone here. ”

Liu Meiping panicked in her heart, and didn't dare to look back, so she could only follow Shi Pan and move forward.

From the alley all the way forward.

After walking for more than 200 meters, the field of vision suddenly widened.

On the right side is a wooden sign with a black pen that reads: Wool.

She didn't get it.

"What is wool?"

"We'll find out later."

Shi Pan pulled her inside.

Compared with the desertion outside, the bustle inside is like another world.

I didn't walk a few steps, but I could see some open shops, and there were still customers in twos and threes, and the more I walked inside, the more lively it became.

There was a place built out of sheds, with machines and a pile of stones, and there were the most people around, and they were still talking about something, but they didn't understand a word.

Liu Meiping was even more puzzled, there were more than a dozen people in this area, all gathered together, and they didn't know what they were looking at.

She followed and leaned forward.

"Panpan, what are they doing here?"

"Cut the stone."

After answering, Shi Pan looked at the stalls placed next to him, and his mind turned: "Mom, I'll take a look on the side, don't go far." ”

Hearing this, Liu Meiping did not continue to watch others cut stones.

She looked around.

Although it is late at night, the people here are very energetic, and almost every shop is open, especially in the shed, where many incandescent lamps are hung, and they are as bright as day.

And it is obvious that most of the people gathered here to watch the excitement are some middle-aged men, and there are very few women.

The people here buy and sell stones?

As soon as she pondered like this, she saw Shi Pan squatting in front of a stall, staring at the stones.

A man and a woman next to him were also looking at the stone, but they were holding a flashlight and a magnifying glass, and they took a picture and looked at a stone like a stone pier.

The graphics are a bit ...... Odd.

"Little girl, you don't see the rough stone like this, you don't have any tools, where can you pick out good materials?"

The middle-aged man who was looking at the stones next to him saw Shi Pan staring at the stones with his naked eyes, looked at them one by one, looked at him and smiled, and couldn't help but remind him with kind words.

The woman next to him also laughed and joked, "She is so young, how can she understand this?" Even if you have tools, you can't pick out good material. ”

After speaking, the woman noticed Liu Meiping.

"Are you the mother of this child? It's so late, you don't go home to sleep, isn't it inappropriate to bring your children to this kind of place? ”

When a man and a woman said this, Liu Meiping felt a little embarrassed.

She wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.

The boss is an uncle in his forties, he looked at the couple with a pair of shrewd eyes, and then looked at Shi Pan, who was staring at the stone intently, for fear that she would not buy it, and said with a serious face.

"These materials are not experienced to buy jadeite, it is all luck, maybe the little girl is lucky, and she has a piece of jadeite, so isn't it a big profit?"

"Boss, you have to speak with a conscience."

The woman wanted to debunk it, but was stopped by the man, who shook his head and motioned for her to stop talking.

There are unwritten rules here, and sometimes even if you know the inside story, you can't talk too much.

Shi Pan heard what they said, but he didn't care.

After so many years of mixing in the previous life, she knows a little bit about everything on the road.

By this time, her eyes were already hurting.

Before, she thought that no matter how much she saw with her eyes, it would not affect her, until she had just looked at more than 20 stones in one breath, and her eyes obviously felt pain.

Noticing the last intense yellow in his eyes.

Retracting his gaze, Shi Pan didn't continue to look at it.

She casually pointed to a gray stone.

"Boss, I want this piece."

Looking at the stone she was pointing to, the corners of the couple's mouth twitched, and they looked like they wanted to say something.

The boss smiled on his face and answered the bill while helping her hold the stone to settle the bill.

"The stone you bought is doing an activity, it only costs two hundred yuan, do you want to take it away, or do you want to untie it here?"

Liu Meiping took in the facial expressions of these people, and she just wanted to persuade Panpan to look at something else, so she heard Shi Pan say, "Untie it here." ”

"Untying the labor cost that originally cost fifty yuan, I will give you a cushion, and I will only charge you twenty yuan."

"Yes."

She seems to have risen casually, without thinking about the price or whether she will be cheated.

In the eyes of the other couple looking at the wronged head, Shi Pan paid the money, and the boss helped move the stone to the stone dissolving machine just now.

The stone in front of it has been unraveled.

Seeing that the owner's expression collapsed, the people around him were sighing.

"I really didn't expect that such a good material didn't solve the jadeite, it's a pity."

"Isn't it? The material bought for 3,000 yuan is now a pile of waste stones. ”

These people were still discussing, and when they saw this gray material, they were all a little suspicious.

They looked and looked, and were a little unsure.

There was a big brother who had a soul question.

"Anyone buys all this scrap?"

The others turned their heads to see who the wrongdoer was.

Then they saw a little girl who was white and pure.

It turned out to be her.

Liu Meiping felt embarrassed again.

She didn't understand these things, but she could probably know that the stones Panpan bought were something they couldn't even look at.

"Panpan, if you can't do it, just return this stone, right?"

She tugged at Rashpan's sleeve, not wanting to lose face anymore.

Just now, the eldest brother also lowered his voice and kindly reminded: "Little girl, this kind of place is really not for a child like you to come to, if you become addicted, your life will be over." ”

"That's it, your material looks like a scrap, and no one will want it, aren't you wasting money?" Another said.

"It's okay, I know it in my heart."

Shi Pan was very calm, as if he couldn't see the eyes of those people, and said to Master Jieshi very calmly: "Master, just look at it." ”

"Okay, then I'll watch it."

The master knew that this material was cheap, so he went straight down from the middle.

The sound of the machine sounded.

Suddenly.

It's quiet.

The eyes of the more than a dozen people present all converged on the cut stone—
