Accompanied by a bright light and a strong pulling sensation.
When he opened his eyes again, the sunlight shining on his face made Ding Xiaoyi feel uncomfortable and closed his eyes.
It took a while before I gradually got used to it.
When he glanced around, he was standing on the riverside not far from the pier.
At this time, the first thing Ding Xiaoyi thought of was the gold in his pocket.
He stretched out his hand, touched it, and took the gold into his hand again.
I saw this ingot of gold, less than the size of a palm, reflecting a dazzling luster in the sunlight.
This made Ding Xiaoyi breathe a sigh of relief.
At least nothing happened as he feared.
What I fear most is that when I take it back, I will see that the gold has turned into stone.
For example, the old man often likes to tease himself and often tells him scary stories late at night.
It is said that those psychic creatures love to lie. After a sumptuous lunch, it was discovered at the end that the meat was made of toads, poisonous snakes, and rats.
Any gold treasures are just a deception.
Now a heavy amount of gold fell into his hands.
This also further confirmed from the side that Chaimu's new residence was not his own hallucination.
After putting the gold away, Ding Xiaoyi took a car to the old town of S city, intending to sell the gold he had first.
City S is the financial trading market in their 6th district, and it is also among the top three in the district economically, second only to first-tier cities like City A.
But most financial institutions are in Chengxi District or New District.
And the reason why I came to the old city was because of my own considerations.
The old city, no matter which city it is in, has many obvious characteristics.
Streets are aging.
The personnel are complex.
Aging is serious.
In addition to its poor reputation among locals, the most mentioned thing is the food street.
I was quite familiar with this area. I walked through the main street with ease, turned to the side road, turned around and walked to a gold shop.
In fact, the gold in my hands is not very easy to deal with.
First, there is no certificate, and second, there is no source.
They can only be sold to these small gold shops or pawn shops at a discount.
Prices will be driven down a lot.
A small number is okay, but once the number is too large, it will be very troublesome.
Moreover, I had just gone bankrupt and suddenly a large amount of money appeared in my name. I believed that the liquidation company would definitely come to trouble me.
The owner of the gold shop looked sideways at Ding Xiaoyi, then threw the gold into a furnace for resmelting.
Although, there are many ways to test gold in the league now.
Counterfeiting technology will always be ahead of these inspection methods.
At this time, the most primitive method is often the most reliable.
The re-refined gold was weighed again. When he saw that the weight had not changed, the boss showed a business smile.
"Brother, your gold is very pure, and I will not take advantage of you.
But you also have to consider my difficulties. After all, this thing has no certificate and its origin... haha.
I am taking risks, things are on my hands, and I have to lose money every day for water, electricity, and rent. Is the honest price 250,000?"
The boss had squinted triangular eyes and a mustache.
It seems that he fits the sentence of being called a ruthless person, but the other person is obviously also a eloquent speaker.
I won't take advantage of you, so you can rest assured.
In addition, let me tell you that it is also a money-losing business, giving you the feeling that I am losing money and taking risks to help you.
A thin-skinned person might not be too embarrassed to continue bargaining.
Unfortunately, Ding Xiaoyi in front of his boss is not the kind of stupid young man who has just stepped out of society.
When it comes to bargaining, I am definitely not a novice.
He didn't listen to a word of what the boss said. He shook his head and said, "Two hundred and eighty thousand, if you can do it, you can take it. If it doesn't work, I'll find another one. I won't force you."
As he spoke, Ding Xiaoyi casually took the gold ingots from the table and melted them into gold ingots. It would be easier for him to sell them to another store.
Seeing that the big customer was about to leave, the boss's smile did not diminish. He quickly grabbed Ding Xiaoyi and complained: "Two hundred and seventy thousand, two hundred and seventy thousand is okay. This small business of mine is really easy to mess up."
"Two hundred and seventy-eight thousand, you put part of it on this card, and the rest is all in cash."
A credit card was shoved into the boss's arms without any explanation, making all the words the boss prepared next to be completely useless.
I can only take the card and pay Ding Xiaoyi.
The outstanding balance of 184,000 was directly transferred to the credit card.
For the remaining money, Ding Xiaoyi asked for cash and put nearly 100,000 alliance coins into his bag, which was still very heavy.
As for the boss... don't look at his sad face. In fact, he can earn at least 30,000 alliance coins from this transaction.
This is just a matter of changing hands, there is no need to buy anything at all.
Listen to his nonsense and you will be tricked to death without even knowing it.
After collecting the money, he did not plan to go back just like this. Instead, he wandered around the old city, making a shopping list in his mind as he walked.
After all, an engine alone is not enough, it also requires many parts.
This is why Ding Xiaoyi chose to come to the old city.
The old town is not like other business districts.
If you want to use a metaphor.
It’s more like a hodgepodge here, with both radish and cabbage and seafood and river delicacies. When you take a spoonful of it, you will find that it contains all kinds of religions.
At this moment, the old man was sweeping the floor in front of him.
You will never guess whether he is a wandering lover or a white-haired old man who lives here in seclusion.
Or...
"Old man Wang, why did you leave so early today? You have to go back to collect rent again!"
The sweeper put down the broom in his hand and looked at the senior management of the residential complex in the distance at a 36-degree angle: "Isn't that right? It's ten floors. It's more tiring than sweeping the floor. After wasting this afternoon, I
My salary is going to be deducted, it’s seventy yuan.”
Thinking of his salary being deducted, the uncle looked distressed.
Ding Xiaoyi looked envious on the side, they were collecting rent, but he...
Thinking that he still had a big-headed monster in his house who was as hungry as a cannibal, Ding Xiaoyi silently patted his backpack and walked away quickly.
There are a lot of things to purchase.
In addition to food, there are many things that need to be purchased.
For example, a complete set of multifunctional tool boxes.
This set of tools is not cheap. He walked around the street and didn't see anything suitable.
Not only because of the price, but also because the brand is not good enough.
Now when it comes to tools, we still have to count the century-old brand in District 18. Dezhou Tools is the best.
But now that the Alliance is vigorously exploring those new continents, these good-brand tools are naturally provided to the Alliance Army's logistics. As a result, it is now difficult to buy Dezhou's tools on the market.
It’s not that the second-level tools are not good, it’s just that you have to disassemble the engine of the Explorer. In many places, the screw caps require unique interfaces to disassemble them.
"It's better to order online, it just takes a little longer."
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the time. It was already half past eight, so there was no point in continuing to stroll.
After walking out of the mall, I planned to find a safe place where there was no one to hide, take out my keys and go home.
I chose the old city with this in mind.
After all, in the old city, due to the aging of the streets and the complex terrain, many places are dark and there are not even street lights.
Not to mention the camera.
After avoiding the bustling main roads and walking to the residential streets, you will find that this is a completely different world from the bright and noisy main roads.
It's like the place under the oil lamp where the light doesn't reach.
The silence was terrifying, and the only light source was the dim halogen lamp more than ten meters away. The dim yellow light could only illuminate a distance of less than three meters under the lamp.
On the contrary, it makes the surroundings appear darker.
Ding Xiaoyi didn't intend to go deep into the alley, he just wanted to find a quiet and uninhabited place to go home.
He took the key out of his arms and gently touched it with his palm.
But just now.
Da da da da…
A series of rapid footsteps came, which was the sound of high heels and bluestone colliding together. It was crisp and powerful, and could be heard clearly from a distance.
"Someone!"
He quickly put away the keys and hid his figure in the darkness.
The cold eyes were like a vigilant owl, vigilantly patrolling the direction of the sound source.
"Da da da da..."
The sound went faster and faster, and each sound was like a small drum beating on the human heart.
"Coming!"
As the blurred figures under the halogen lamp in the distance gradually became clearer, the first thing that caught my eye was the pair of bright red high heels.
Under the dark night and dim light, those bright red high-heeled shoes seemed to be a rich blood light, suddenly giving a new color to this black and white world.
It's bright and rich, but I don't know why. When I see this pair of shoes, I feel an indescribable twist in my heart.
It seems that these shoes are a little too bright red.
Da da da…
As the shoes move forward, the owner of the shoes gradually becomes clear under the light.
But when the figure of the shoe owner became clear.
Ding Xiaoyi was suddenly startled: "Changed?"
The figure under the light in front of me could not be seen clearly from a distance. He was about 1.78 meters tall. He could not be said to be strong, but with broad shoulders, he was clearly a man.
A man wearing bright red high heels in the middle of the night??
This can't help but remind people of some kind of fetish, such as collecting women's underwear.
He has no discriminatory thoughts against these people.
As long as it doesn't affect other people's lives and the items come from legitimate sources, you don't care what they like to do.
But even so, when I think about a man who has been busy for a day, quietly taking out a pair of bright red high heels from under the bed late at night and wearing them on his feet, he may even make a coquettish gesture in front of the mirror to vent his twisted feelings.
*.
As soon as that scene appeared in his mind, Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but shudder.
I couldn't help but urge the other party to leave as soon as possible, pretending that I didn't see him.
But at this moment, unexpectedly, the man suddenly stepped forward and turned around step by step with his stiff body.
A pair of bloodshot eyes in the deeply sunken eye sockets could not help but stare directly at Ding Xiaoyi.
"Little brother, I can't walk anymore, please come and help me..."
