Seeing Lei Lei raise the price, the middle-aged man immediately shouted out another price.
"2,000 yuan!"
Not to be outdone, Lei Lei shouted loudly that she no longer considered the real price of this thangka. As the saying goes: "People compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense." Lei Lei had a very hot temper.
What's more, she couldn't swallow the feeling of being bullied in public.
"Yes, we will pay 2,000. If you don't have money, don't make a large deposit."
Bai Mengyao didn't know where she heard the word "big money" from, and she was also cheering beside him. Thousands of dollars were really nothing to these girls.
"I'll give you 2,500. Don't show off just because you have some bad money. You're far behind being wealthy."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then shouted out another price, and looked at Lei Lei and others provocatively, with expressions of disdain on his face.
Zhuang Rui was quite angry at first, but he always felt that something was wrong, and couldn't explain what it was. When Lei Lei and the middle-aged man raised the price, Zhuang Rui took a step back, almost shrinking back into the crowd.
Here, I started to observe.
Seeing this, Zhuang Rui understood in his heart that this was also a double act. Don't forget that this middle-aged man was dressed as a Han Chinese and spoke standard Mandarin. He looked like a foreign tourist, but his face was faint.
The prairie red color shows that he must have lived in Tibet for a long time.
And every time before he raised the price, he would peek at the stall owner. When he saw the stall owner nodding slightly, he raised the price again and encouraged Lei Lei and others with words. They had to say that he did it.
It was very successful, at least Lei Lei was so angry that she was furious.
Although this method is very crude, it is very practical. They probably came up with this idea just now when they saw Lei Lei and others shopping wildly without even talking about the price. It just so happened that these women had never visited such a store.
If you are in the market, you won't be able to bargain and bargain. If you go back and forth, you will fall into the trap.
Maybe Qin Xuanbing and Lei Lei, including Bai Mengyao, were working hard in the shopping mall, and maybe they were still a little alert, but in this environment, when they were bullied by people's words and laughed at by the onlookers, they lost their hearts.
Calm down, if Liu Chuan were here, he would probably see through this double act at a glance.
"I'll pay you 4,000 yuan. Boss, don't talk to these little girls. The money is here. Please wrap up the things for me quickly."
At this time, the price had been raised to 4,000 RMB, and the middle-aged man took out a stack of RMB from his pocket, patted it in his hand, and urged the stall owner to put the thangka away for him.
"I……"
"Lei Lei, a gentleman doesn't take what others like, so we don't want this thing anymore."
Before Lei Lei could say the word "I", she was interrupted by Zhuang Rui. Seeing Zhuang Rui wink at him, Lei Lei was stunned for a moment and did not continue shouting. She was just too angry.
, but it’s not that she is brainless. After hearing what Zhuang Rui said, she came to her senses a little bit.
These women are so smart. With Zhuang Rui's knowledge and the scene that just happened, they immediately understood the whole story. At that moment, Bai Mengyao stopped being angry and said with a smile: "This uncle is so rich.
Ah, we won’t argue with you anymore, just buy that thing.”
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man and the stall owner were dumbfounded. The obviously cooked duck flew away, and the culprit was naturally Zhuang Rui, who had interfered with him.
"Boy, what you said just now, do you mean that I am a villain?"
The double act was revealed, and the middle-aged man couldn't keep it in his face. The transaction of several thousand yuan was ruined by Zhuang Rui, which made him hate him to the bone. He immediately stopped mentioning the purchase of thangkas and launched an attack on Zhuang Rui.
blame.
"Okay, uncle, there are some things that are meaningless to explain clearly. You can continue to set up your stall, and we will continue to buy our things. Goodbye to you."
Zhuang Rui was lazy to deal with these local snakes, and replied angrily, then turned around and called Lei Lei and others back to the hotel. It was already noon, not to mention that he was hungry, even the little white lion was listless at this time.
Yeah, I'm always scratching myself with my paws in my arms.
"Boy, don't even think about leaving until you speak clearly."
The middle-aged man grabbed Zhuang Rui's shoulder, which happened to be Zhuang Rui's injured left arm. Zhuang Rui opened his mouth in pain and raised his right hand to open the middle-aged man's hand.
At this time, Zhuang Rui was also angry. He failed in his acting, but he still dared not to give up. He turned around, glared, and said, "What do you want? How about we go to the police station to evaluate it?"
"The Han people are beating people, the Han people are beating people."
The stall owner shouted unexpectedly, and several of his accomplices who had been crowding in the crowd to help also emerged one after another and surrounded Zhuang Rui.
"Let them lose money, don't buy what they agreed to, and don't let them leave."
The stall owner jumped up and down and shouted. Although the onlookers knew the ins and outs of the matter, most of them were tourists from out of town. No one wanted to cause trouble. For a while, the only voice of the stall owner was heard.
"Pay for it! I'll pay for your numbness and beating, right? I'll hit you anyway."
Zhuang Rui's temperament has always been that he will not offend others unless they offend him, but if he is provoked, he will never take action without any measure.
The middle-aged man had just pulled the wound, and now seeing how arrogant the stall owner was, he couldn't bear it anymore. He immediately jumped up and kicked the stall owner across the stall.
The stall owner's voice was quite loud, but he was a bit short, less than 1.7 meters tall. He was kicked backwards by Zhuang Rui, who was over 1.8 meters tall.
The people surrounding Zhuang Rui were stunned. They didn't expect that the young man in front of them, who seemed quiet and wearing glasses, would have such a hot temper. He originally wanted to extort a few people's money, but now it seems that he
It's not going to end well.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Give me a beating. I'll take care of you if you get into trouble."
The short stall owner was kicked by Zhuang Rui and took a long time to get up. When he saw his helpers surrounding Zhuang Rui but not taking action, he became angry and rushed over while shouting. This person also
A green man, he picked up a Tibetan knife from his stall, pulled it out and slashed at Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui was surrounded by those people, and there was a crowd behind him. He had no place to retreat even if he wanted to. When he saw that the knife was about to strike him, a pair of big calloused hands stretched out and firmly grasped the stall.
The Lord's wrist.
"What the hell..."
This stall owner is used to being arrogant in the market. Most tourists don't want to cause trouble when they go out. They usually swallow it when they are slaughtered. He is also used to his bad habits. The knife that is about to cut Zhuang Rui's body is held up by someone.
He stopped and immediately started to curse at the visitor. But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the clothes on the visitor and immediately swallowed back the second part of the sentence and put away the hidden knife angrily.
Zhuang Rui saw a tall lama in red appearing in front of him. Seeing the lama's appearance, the few people who were still cheering at the beginning sneaked into the crowd.
"The Gegu Lama of Jokhang Temple is here. These people don't dare to be arrogant anymore. We should punish them."
In the crowd of onlookers, some who knew the lama started talking, with expressions of respect on their faces, while the stall owner also stood aside obediently, not daring to speak.
"Don't you know that you are not allowed to cause trouble in this important place of pilgrimage?"
Lama Gegu, also known as the Iron Staff Lama, is the one who specializes in punishment in the temple. He has always been known for his impartiality. Although in today's society, there are police stations to enforce the law, for these Tibetans, the status of the lama in Tibet
, is still supreme. As soon as the Gegu Lama spoke, there was silence all around, and no one dared to talk anymore.
"This guru first deceived us into buying things, and then threatened to hurt people with a knife. I can swear on the name of the living Buddha that what I said is true."
Zhuang Rui pointed at the stall owner and said to the big lama in front of him. He knew that no matter what happened, if it involved religion, it would be very troublesome if it was not handled properly.
"oh?"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Gegu Lama already believed it. If he hadn't taken action in time, the young man in front of him would have been chopped. Moreover, he saw the white lion in Zhuang Rui's arms, which Tibetans all like.
Dogs are treated as members of the family, and lamas are no exception. Tibetan mastiffs are also kept in many lamasery temples. After seeing the white lion, Gegu believed Zhuang Rui's words even more.
Seeing that the crowd was gathering more and more, blocking the path of the pilgrims, Lama Gegu frowned and said to Zhuang Rui and the stall owner: "Come back to the Jokhang Temple with me and explain the matter clearly."
After Lama Gegu finished speaking, he walked forward along the prayer path. He was not afraid that these two people would not follow him.
"Xuan Bing, Leilei, Yaoyao, you go back to the hotel first. I'll go with my master. I happen to want to visit the Jokhang Temple. Now I even save the tickets."
Zhuang Rui handed over many bags of various sizes hanging on his body to a few girls. It was useless for them to follow him. It would be better to go back to the hotel to inform Liu Chuan and others. Zhou Rui, who must be very familiar with Tibet, would
There's no other way. After all, I didn't do anything wrong.
Although Qin Xuanbing and the girls are young, they are all people who have seen the world. Qin Xuanbing's family even supports living Buddhas in Tibet. They know that they are all good-hearted and will not embarrass Zhuang Rui, but they did not reply.
hotel, but took out the phone and called Liu Chuan.
Zhuang Rui followed Gegu Lama and was among a group of Tibetan Buddhist believers. He watched them chanting scriptures and walking clockwise along the prayer path. Although he could not understand their scriptures, he could not understand them.
Zhuang Rui still felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
"You come with me."
After reaching the end of the prayer path, Lama Gegu waved to Zhuang Rui and ignored the Tibetan stall owner who was still cleaning up his stall. He led Zhuang Rui into the Jokhang Temple through a side door.
