Chapter 2 Preliminary Examination of Phase Techniques
next day
The first ray of morning light shone on Qin Yu. He stood up slowly and took a deep breath. He sat quietly under this monument last night. At this moment, he looked at the clothes on his body and saw that they were already slightly damp. Thinking about it,
It is the dew brought by the frost in the middle of the night.
"I've been watching this all night. I'm really fascinated." Qin Yu shook his head mockingly. Even he didn't expect that the Feng Shui physiognomy recorded in Zhuge Neijing would be so attractive to him. Memory
Except for the time when I was in high school, when I would hold a thick novel and read it in the dormitory at night, I never read a book for a whole night.
The total thickness of Zhuge Neijing is no less than ten thousand pages. That night, Qin Yu only read the first chapter on physiognomy. He was fascinated by the content about physiognomy alone. There were also chapters on Feng Shui and Talismans at the back... only
Maybe I took a quick look at it.
Today is the day for the tour group to return. He did not go back to the hotel with the tour guide to rest last night. Presumably everyone should be at the hotel now preparing to board the bus for the return trip. It is still some distance from the hotel where they are staying. Qin Yu did not dare to delay any longer and took a photo.
With the dust on his buttocks, he walked quickly outside Zhuge Lu.
"I asked you what happened to you. You disappeared all night, and now you are asked to wait for you alone."
Back at the hotel entrance, the tour guide was leading the tourists towards the bus. Qin Yu bumped into him. When the tour guide saw Qin Yu, he had a bad expression and said.
"Sorry, I met an old classmate last night and went to his house to rest." Qin Yu said sincerely with an apology on his face.
"Old classmate?" The young tour guide had a suspicious look on his face and muttered in a low voice: "I think he went out to have sex."
Qin Yu had sharp ears. Although the young tour guide's voice was low enough, he still heard it. He looked at the other person with piercing eyes and immediately smiled. This smile made the young tour guide confused, and he cursed in his heart: This man
He must be sick, I said that to him, and he still laughed.
The reason why Qin Yu laughed was because he took a look at the face of the young tour guide. He had a red nose with a hint of black dust on the tip of his nose. According to the record of the physiognomy chapter of the Zhuge Nei Jing, the tip of the nose is indicative of wealth, and the black dust on the tip of the nose is the sign of money leakage.
Moreover, this person's lower lip is cracked, forming an inverted mouth, which mirrors the tip of the nose, and the wealth will flow away, and he will soon lose money.
Since he knew that the young tour guide would be in trouble, Qin Yu didn't care about what he just said. He turned around and followed the many tourists on the bus, ignoring him.
The bus was carrying everyone on the return route, but it stopped at a shopping mall on the way. The young tour guide shouted: "This mall is the most famous here. You can buy some specialties in this mall and go back. Why?"
You can’t travel in vain, right?”
The tourists in the car were in an uproar. Who didn't buy some specialties at tourist attractions, why would they buy them in this mall? However, the young tour guide ignored everyone's comments and gave the driver a look, and the latter started to mutter.
:
"I have to go to the front of the car to clean it. You all can get off the car and wait for an hour. After it is cleaned, I will come here to pick you up."
After saying that, the driver started to chase people away. Although the tourists were reluctant, they had no choice but to do so. This situation is too common in China. Tourism companies often cooperate with shopping malls near some scenic spots, and tour guides are responsible for leading tour groups to shopping malls.
After consumption, the mall will give you a certain rebate.
Of course, it's not impossible if you really don't consume, but those who can travel have some spare money, or their living conditions are relatively good. There are really not many people who can restrain themselves from consumption in shopping malls and other shopping places.
Even if some people don’t intend to spend money, they will be embarrassed to buy something when they see other tourists carrying large and small bags. After all, people have a desire to compare. Everyone has bought something, and you are the only one who doesn’t.
Buying it seems so stingy, and the tour guide will stare at you with disdain, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
"Tour guide, are there any good things for sale here?" Among the tourists who got off the bus, a pot-bellied man with a thick gold necklace hanging around his neck took out a pack of soft Chinese medicine, took out one and threw it aside.
tour guide and asked him.
The man is about forty years old, looks like a nouveau riche, his hair is shiny, and next to him is a charming young woman who is leaning against him, with her hands on the man's arms.
"Brother Chen, I'm still missing a bracelet. Please go in and buy me a bracelet." The woman took the man's hand.
"Okay, I'll go in and buy it for you. Tour guide, please take us to a jewelry store." The middle-aged man laughed and opened his briefcase. Inside, there were bunches of bright red hundred-yuan bills that had not yet been opened, and he took them out.
I handed a few of them to the young tour guide.
"Boss, you're welcome. I'm the most familiar with this mall. I know best where the jewelry is. I'll take you there right now." The young tour guide saw these old people and his face burst into laughter. The man in front of him
He is obviously a nouveau riche who takes Xiaomi out for fun. He has received a lot of people like this and is often generous with his money, so he can earn a lot of extra tips.
However, the young tour guide finally did not forget to tell the other tourists to meet back here in an hour, and then led the man towards a part of the shopping mall.
"Judging from his appearance, this middle-aged man is a treacherous and exaggerated person. Most of these people are lazy gangsters." Qin Yu also observed the appearance of the nouveau riche man and always felt that something was wrong. According to Zhuge Neijing
According to records, this man's appearance should be that of a deceiver, and he has nothing to do with rich people.
Although he didn't plan to buy anything, Qin Yu still walked into the mall and wandered around. The mall was not far from the tourist attractions. From time to time, Qin Yu saw groups of tour groups buying goods in the mall under the leadership of tour guides.
The shopping mall has a dazzling array of products and is divided into three floors. The first floor is mainly for jewelry counters and cosmetics stores. As soon as Qin Yu came in, he saw the young tour guide leading a middle-aged man who looked like a nouveau riche and a girl named Bo Tao into a counter, but it looked like a big wave.
The girl was not very satisfied with these accessories and wandered to another counter.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Qin Yu found a plainly dressed old man calling to the big girl and holding out his hand as if to show him something. The latter had a look of surprise on his face and entangled the middle-aged man.
They were talking about something. After a while, a few people quickly left the mall. Although Qin Yu was curious, he couldn't follow them and continued to browse the mall alone.
After wandering around the mall, Qin Yu bought a can of chewing gum, paid the bill, and headed to the agreed waiting place. He found the young tour guide standing there, his eyes looking around from time to time, looking a little excited, and opening his mouth.
He smiled widely, as if he had won a five-million-dollar jackpot.
The young tour guide was still holding a delicate small box tightly in his hand. Qin Yu had seen this type of box before, usually it was a packaging box for jewelry. When he saw Qin Yu coming, his eyes only stayed for a second and then continued to look past Qin Yu.
, scan forward.
"Didn't he accompany those two people to buy jewelry? Why is he the only one left?" Qin Yu was confused. He always felt that there seemed to be something fishy in this, especially the appearance of the old man, which reminded him of the young tour guide's appearance of having no money.
, an intuition emerged in his mind: "This tour guide must have been scammed."
Although he didn't like the tour guide, Qin Yu still walked over and reminded him: "Be careful of being set up and defrauded of your money."
"Set a trap to defraud me of money?" The young tour guide glanced at Qin Yu suspiciously, not understanding why Qin Yu said that.
"Are you waiting for that middle-aged man, and did you lend them money again?" Qin Yu guessed.
The young tour guide looked surprised, then nodded and replied: "Mr. Chen's little...cousin is interested in a blood jade bracelet, but Mr. Chen doesn't have enough cash, so he asked me to borrow 30,000 yuan. Mr. Chen is going to the bank to get it now."
I was paid back in cash.”
"I'm asking you to borrow 30,000 yuan. Did you and Mr. Chen know each other before?"
"I don't know, but Mr. Chen gave me the blood jade bracelet for safekeeping. There will be no problem." After saying this, the young tour guide still showed a proud look on his face. Mr. Chen promised him that when he came back with the cash later,
I will pay him back 50,000 yuan, and the extra 20,000 yuan will be used as interest.
The young tour guide beamed when he thought that he could earn 20,000 yuan in just half an hour, which was worth half a year's salary.
"It seems that what I thought is correct." Qin Yu thought for a while and said softly.
"What are you thinking about?" The young tour guide was still immersed in the joy of twenty thousand yuan, and did not notice the sympathy in Qin Yu's eyes when he looked at him.
"If I guess correctly, when you were shopping in the mall, you met an old man who wanted to sell a blood jade bracelet, and Mr. Chen's cousin fell in love with the bracelet, and then you left the mall and planned to trade.
At that time, Mr. Chen realized that he didn’t have enough cash with him, but the old man just wanted cash, and he was quite urgent. Finally, Mr. Chen wanted to borrow 30,000 yuan from you, paid it to the old man first, and then gave the blood jade bracelet to you for safekeeping.
, I said I took my cousin to the bank to withdraw cash to pay you back, I don’t know if I’m right or not.”
"Hey, how did you know?"
Qin Yu's guess was correct. The old man he met in the mall claimed that something had happened at home and needed money urgently. He wanted to sell the blood jade bracelet, but the price offered by the pawn shop was too low. The old man was unwilling to sell it.
Let's go to the mall and see if any of those who want to buy jewelry are knowledgeable and willing to buy it.
The young tour guide scoffed at the old man's words, but he couldn't resist Mr. Chen's cousin, so everyone followed the old man out of the mall and found a corner to discuss the price.
"Three hundred thousand, I won't sell it for a penny less!" The old man was very resolute, with a look of pain on his face, saying that this bracelet was passed down from his ancestors, and if something happened to his family and he needed money urgently,
I won't sell it for one million dollars.
When the young tour guide heard the price, he gently tugged on the corner of Mr. Chen's clothes, took Mr. Chen aside and persuaded: "Boss Chen, there are too many liars nowadays. This old man said that this bracelet is a blood jade bracelet, which is a blood jade bracelet."
Jade bracelet, maybe it's a liar, let's take a look, but don't buy it on impulse."
To be honest, he had no idea what kind of jade the blood jade bracelet was, but he understood that three hundred thousand was not a small amount. However, Mr. Chen smiled and handed him a business card.
"Chen Xuanyu, General Manager of Shanghai Xuanyu Jewelry Co., Ltd." The big gilded characters made him dumbfounded. He felt that the owner was selling jewelry, so he was worrying too much.
Mr. Chen told him with a smile that the blood jade bracelet was real, and based on the current price of jade, the market price of this bracelet would not be less than one million, and he would not lose money if he bought it for 300,000 yuan. (To be continued)
