Yong City, old town, in a rental house.

Seven o'clock in the morning is the beginning of a busy day in a city, turning from quiet to noisy.

"Dong dong, dong dong, dong dong..."

Accompanied by a steady and orderly heartbeat, Chu Yi's consciousness slowly awakened from deep sleep. After a few breaths, his eyes were still filled with chaos. His body was like a clay sculpture and he could not move. It was obvious that he was pressed down by a 'ghost'.

.

I don't know what's wrong with me. It's been almost a month. Every time I wake up, I feel pressed for a short while. This kind of separation between soul and body is really unpleasant. But I went to the hospital for a checkup yesterday and found nothing wrong.

I don’t care anymore...

After his body regained control, Chu Yi opened his legs and stood up slowly, stretched out a few times, clicked on the morning news on his phone as usual, listened to the news, and slowly entered the bathroom and started washing up.

.

"Good morning, dear viewers, today is February 12, 1969, at 7:30 in the morning. The lunar calendar is December 28. Welcome to the morning news. Now I would like to introduce today's news program to you.

....."

"After years of treatment on the Loess Plateau, the vegetation coverage rate has reached 80%, water and soil erosion have been greatly reduced, and the water of the Yellow River has gradually become clearer. Officials estimate that complete coverage will be completed in three years."

"Affected by extreme weather, many days of heavy rain in the Taklimakan Desert and the melting of ice and snow in the Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun Mountains have caused floods. Experts estimate that this natural disaster may be a blessing in disguise, allowing the Tarim River Ancient Road and the Kongque River Ancient Road to exist in the world.

It is expected that the sixteen countries in the Western Regions on the ancient Silk Road will be revitalized."

"After seventeen years of fishing ban in the Yangtze River, the ecological environment has initially improved. The number of wild large fish over one meter in the river has increased sharply. There are finless porpoises playing on the river from time to time. The relevant departments have stated that they will continue to strictly enforce this regulation."

"The population of wild animals in uninhabited areas such as Longxi and Qinghai has increased rapidly in recent years. As of today, there have been a total of 17 fatalities."

"Since the beginning of the year, the water level of Poyang Lake has continued to drop, the river bed has dried up, and the vegetation is lush, almost grassland."

"It is said that a large number of wild animal carcasses have appeared in many forests in our country. The scenes are extremely brutal and bloody, but there are no traces of man-made activities. Experts speculate that it is suspected of a fight between species in order to compete for habitat...

”

"Yesterday, in the urban area of ​​Bohai Prefecture, a young man had a physical conflict with others while eating barbecue. During the fight, the man claimed that he was possessed by Hu Daxian and was invulnerable. As a result, three ribs were broken and he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. After he was out of danger,

, was transferred to a mental hospital to continue receiving treatment... Here, our news reminds the general public to believe in science and avoid feudal superstition."

"The China Securities Regulatory Commission issued an announcement today that it will severely crack down on illegal activities that use Feng Shui theories such as the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Yin Yang and Five Elements to predict the stock market."

"The latest news is that the National Wushu General Administration has just released the martial arts level, with ten levels and nine realms, a total of nineteen levels. The specific content will be announced one by one after the official implementation of the system..."

"..."

"The Yellow River is getting clearer, the desert is flooded, the Yangtze River is full of fish, the Qinghai is dead, the lakes are pristine, wild beasts are fighting, the fox is possessed, Qimen is counting stocks, martial arts levels... the recent news is getting more and more outrageous,

If there are no zombies killing people, ghosts demanding lives, or demons appearing next, I won’t be happy to see it..."

After complaining about the news, Chu Yi picked up his mobile phone and walked out of the house, drove an old Qiling Red Star van straight to the market, and started a day of stall setting.

My name is Chu Yi, life is not easy, I set up a stall to make money, and then I lost contact...

......

Yong City is located in the coastal area of ​​Yuezhou in the southeast of Yanxia Kingdom. As early as 7,000 years ago, the ancient ancestors lived and thrived here.

Yuezhou has been mountainous since ancient times, and there is a saying that seven mountains, one water and two fields are divided into two parts. The landform of Yongcheng in the southeast was generally the same, and it was not outstanding; but fortunately, it also occupied two beautiful parts of the East China Sea.

It revitalized the entire pattern.

Bordering the East China Sea to the east, surrounded by archipelagos, the scenery is lush, the climate is humid, the four seasons are distinct, and it is picturesque. It is like an ink painting of Jiangnan, and it is a land of plenty. Of course, these nice words are said in modern times, as if they were spoken in ancient times.

, it is that barren land with steep forests, miasma, poor mountains and harsh waters...

But who would have thought that today, this original coastal town would develop into a new first-tier modern city with a population of nearly 10 million despite the lack of high-quality natural resources.

They started with a bad hand, but they started playing well. Such a huge change is due to the pioneering spirit of the people of Yongcheng who came out of the poor mountains and harsh waters!

......

Nancheng Old Street was a famous big market in Ningbo City in the early years. It has everything from furniture and department stores to flowers, birds, fish and insects, antiques, jade, calligraphy and painting, etc.

But today, the old street market in the old city has long lost its former glory. Young people are more nostalgic for the neon lights and drunkenness in the city center. Only the elderly people often come here to hang out, so the market

The business is also declining day by day.

It was the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and the new year was approaching.

Perhaps it was tainted with the joy of the New Year, which suddenly gave the originally silent market a new vitality. This also made the merchants in the market who had not been open for a long time smell the smell of money, so they sharpened their knives on the spot.

To pigs and sheep...

In front of a certain stall, a beautiful girl wearing snow-white down and holding a selfie stick is happily introducing the scenery of the market to the camera.

"Hello, fellow netizens, I am Xiaojia, a travel anchor who aims to travel all over the hot summer. Today is the first stop for my debut! I came to Yong City, which is my hometown. The new year is approaching and I have nothing to do.

Let’s take a look at Nancheng Old Street, which I often visit as a child. How about it? Isn’t it very lively? Now I will take everyone here to pick up and see if I can find any good treasures. Let’s go!”

At this time, a sharp-eyed netizen saw the corner of the stall exposed in the live broadcast and quickly typed: "Anchor, there seems to be something in the stall behind you, go and take a look!"

Anchor Xiaojia looked at the comments made by netizens on the barrage. It was her first live broadcast and she did not dare to neglect at all. She quickly turned around and turned the camera towards the stall.

As the scene turned, the first thing that caught my eye was a young stall owner in his early twenties. He was sitting on a small stool, concentrating on carving a piece of green and transparent jade material. It was vaguely visible.

The prototype of the Buddha with a big belly... The carving knife flew up and down in his hand. He struck the knife decisively and sharply, and he was able to control it just right. What stood out was the word "steady". This kind of carving skill is so impressive, from his hand

It can be seen from the calluses on it that it has been holding the knife for several years.

But what attracts attention is the objects placed on the red cloth rug. There are a dazzling array of exquisitely carved ornaments made of various types of wood and jade, including wooden charms, wooden peaches, wooden Ruyi, jade pendants, and jade pendants.

, jade gourds, etc., there are about fifty kinds of them, large and small... and the most eye-catching one is a green jasper seal with a grayish color.

When the netizens in the live broadcast room saw the five chi dragons coiled around one corner and the jade seal inlaid with 'gold', they were completely boiled! The word 'fuck' filled the entire screen.

Excited netizens immediately urged the anchor to pick up the jade seal and see if the legendary eight characters were engraved underneath. Even though they knew it was fake, it was enough to arouse their curiosity... Are you kidding?

This is a sacred relic passed down from generation to generation since the Qin Dynasty unified the world!

Anchor Xiaojia was also infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere in the live broadcast room. She picked up the jade seal with excitement. But when she saw the words engraved at the bottom, she took a breath and her fiery heart was instantly kicked to the Siberian ice field.

On the ground, frozen to pieces...

I saw that the bottom of this jade seal was also engraved with eight big characters, 'Congratulations on getting rich and good luck'...

At this moment, there was a sudden silence in the live broadcast room. A few seconds later, countless "fuck" people suddenly burst out, saying that the guy who carved this jade seal is definitely a talent! There is no one else with this bad taste!

Xiaojia looked at the counterfeit jade seal with a strange expression. According to the rules of shopping at street stalls, no matter whether you buy it or not, you have to ask the price when you get something. So he turned his attention to the young stall owner and asked aloud: "

Boss, how much does this thing cost?"

It was only then that the young stall owner stopped what he was doing, slowly came back to his senses, drew a number with his left hand, and said calmly: "I won't ask you for more, eighty thousand!"

"What! This thing costs 80,000?" Xiaojia seemed shocked by the high price and smelled of deception. He immediately put the jade seal back into place gently and then turned around to leave.

At this moment, the young stall owner suddenly stopped her and said, "Young lady, you are holding back. You are asking for a lot of money when doing business. I think you really like this jade seal, so let me tell you the number!"

The anchor Xiaojia then turned around and saw the barrage in the live broadcast room raining down, asking the anchor to counter-offer. Then he turned around again, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, imitating the gestures of the young stall owner, and said firmly: "At most

Eight hundred!"

"Deal!"

Unexpectedly, the young stall owner actually agreed, then packed the jade seal with lightning speed, handed it to the female anchor with one hand, and took out a QR code with the other hand.

All this happened so suddenly that the anchor Xiaojia was caught in a dilemma before she could even react. Netizens who loved to join in the fun even shouted, "I made seven hundred and ninety-nine in tears this time.

Looking at the young stall owner who smiled like an old fox, Xiao Jia felt dissatisfied, so she came up with another plan and said in a deliberately annoying voice: "Handsome guy, what's your surname?"

"My surname is Chu, I am Chu from Qin Mu Chu." Chu Yi responded with a smile, then waved the QR code in his hand towards her, and continued: "Weixun, Invoice and Invoice are all fine."

However, the anchor Xiaojia pretended not to hear anything and pretended to be coquettish: "Chu~Brother~~ I made a mistake just now, can I do it again?"

At this moment, Chu Yi saw her thoughts at a glance, smiled without saying a word, and nodded in agreement.

Xiaojia felt happy and made the same gesture again. She wanted to say eighty, but before she could say anything, she saw the young stall owner's increasingly gloomy face, so he stretched out his hand again.

With one finger, he changed his words: "How about three hundred?"

"Take it away!"

Chu Yize replied unusually crisply, and looked at her with a smile, the expression on his face seemed to say, 'Girl, you are still too young.'

Anchor Xiaojia: "..."

After paying the money, Xiaojia carried the jade and asked the netizens in the live broadcast room with a confused look, "Dear netizens, have I been cheated? Could this be plastic?"

Netizens all laughed and said: "I can't help but laugh. This time, the boss made 290 in tears..."

One of the knowledgeable netizens said: "It is indeed jade. Judging from its appearance, it should be the cheapest kind of Xiu jade. To put it bluntly, it is green quartzite. You can buy several kilograms of raw stone for only ten yuan online...

...However, this jade seal is indeed well carved and has the style of a famous artist. The craftsmanship is definitely worth the price. You will not lose money, anchor!"

After hearing the netizen's explanation, Xiaojia's eyes lit up. She looked at the jade seal in her hand and pretended to sigh: "Oh, it seems I can only take it back and give it to my dad. I hope he will reimburse it as soon as he is happy...

...By the way, how much does this thing cost? It seems like... 80,000?!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the live broadcast room. A few seconds later, the entire screen was instantly flooded by countless barrages... They said that the stall owner was evil, and the anchor was even more evil than the stall owner!

After this incident, Xiaojia, the anchor who aims to travel around the hot summer, also gained a lot of popularity and became a slightly famous travel anchor. People gave him the nickname, Black-hearted Little Cotton Jacket!
