In the spring of March, the grass grows and the orioles fly.
The sun is high in Yangzhou, and during the busiest time of the day, the streets are filled with pedestrians.
On the crowded sidewalk, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man was walking, his face full of vicissitudes of life, filled with helplessness and sorrow.
Yi Chi is twenty-eight years old this year. It can be said that this is the prime of life. However, Yi Chi has a vicissitudes of life. Some people believe that he is forty.
As for Yangzhou, there is gold everywhere to earn. I think it was because of hearing the rumors that Yi Chi stayed away from his hometown. Who would have thought that the years would be unlucky, and all the hard work of the past few years would be lost in one fell swoop.
Who doesn’t have a passionate youth? Yi Chi, who just graduated from college, is like those trendy young people, thinking of starting his own business and making a living on his own. However, starting a business is not so easy. He can make money with one hand and lose money with the other. There is progress and failure.
, a few years have allowed Yi Chi to see the world clearly. He no longer has the vigor that he had just graduated from college, and his whole person seems to be full of vicissitudes of life.
Originally, Yi Chi could still live this life, but this is the way society is. Whatever the superiors want, then the inferiors like them must do the same.
"Isn't it just because she looked at me one more time? Are you going to make me miserable? Damn Tanwei, damn the Tan family." Yi Chi exposed too much of his body because he was looked at a few times by a local rich family's daughter.
Smile, just this little thing, the young master of the Tan Group can't stand it.
Tan's Group is a large company, a multinational enterprise, but it can't be compared to Yi Chi, a small businessman.
With just one word, the business originally negotiated with Yi Chi fell through.
What? A contract?
In the eyes of those people, the law is just a plaything and they still care about the broken contract.
In the end, it was not Yi Chi who suffered the loss.
A warehouse full of goods has been put in, but the buyer doesn’t want them anymore. How embarrassing is it for him to call Yi Chiqing!
"Little guy? Haha, big guy? Haha, hahahaha..." Yi Chi laughed like crazy for a while, but with everyone around him looking surprised, Yi Chi left angrily.
He could only endure it.
..
How many 28 years are there in a person's life? Yi Chi doesn't know about others, but he knows that he may only have this 28 years.
"Those guys won't let me go." Yi Chi said to the bartender in a bar not far from his home. He had no idea whether people could understand what he was saying. He needed to
You are just a person to talk to. Whether this person understands or not is another matter.
It was obvious that the staff at the Magic Lantern Bar had been trained. Even the bartender who was pulled by Yi Chi and said a lot of things that he didn't understand could not be seen showing any signs of boredom. He still looked professional.
Smile.
"Do you know? I spent so much effort on this business. I drank wine, treated guests, and spent a lot of money to go out. However, it was just a word from others and I just blew it, bastard! It's amazing to be rich.
"It's amazing to be powerful!" Yi Chi drunkenly talked about his misfortune.
The bartender's face was full of helplessness: "How long will this guy keep talking? Woohoo, I can collect a lot of tips at this time. Damn it, you deserve to have your business fail. He is rich and powerful.
"Of course it's amazing, I can't even think about it, huh." He thought about Yi Chi in his mind, but couldn't show any anger on his face. This was specially trained by their boss.
"What kind of society is this? I think I am also a good young man, but I am already 28 years old. Not to mention that I have no success in my career, I don't even have a girlfriend. As for me, I was born into the second generation of rich people, with money, power and influence.
, everything is prepared for them by their parents, they don’t need to spend even a little time to work hard, God! You are so unfair! How did I, Yi Chi, offend you? You don’t give me a good life.
,Okay, I will work hard on my own, but didn’t that woman just look at me a few more times? These damn guys want me to die. If there is an afterlife, I, Yi Chi, must control my own destiny and never do this again.
"If you say anything, your life will be in danger." The more Yi Chi spoke, the more excited he became, and he almost yelled after he said it. Fortunately, the bar was already noisy, except for a few people nearby who heard Yi Chi's words.
Apart from looking at him in surprise, the others were still doing what they were supposed to do.
After hearing this, the bartender finally understood. The unlucky guy in front of him was obviously resented by a rich man's girlfriend because he glanced at him too many times. Now his business has been blown away.
I'm going to come and take his life.
After looking Yi Chi up and down, the bartender couldn't see anything about Yi Chi that could attract women.
"Maybe the woman just glanced at her out of curiosity. This man named Yi Chi, according to his words, is only 28 years old, but he looks like he is 38 years old. How could someone fall in love with him? That's it.
Come on, he is really unlucky." This time, the bartender was no longer angry at Yi Chi for causing him to charge less tips. After all, his family was about to die, and of course, he had no intention of helping Yi Chi.
Thoughts, as the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. In today's society, whoever goes back to help an unrelated person risks his life.
"Brother, you're drunk, go home." The bartender reminded him kindly. In fact, he was afraid that this guy would have no money to pay the bill.
"Drunk? I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk." Yi Chi said in a daze. Although he said he was not drunk, he still listened to the bartender's advice, took out the money to pay the bill, and shook his head.
With three swaying steps, he walked out of the bar.
On a spring night, there is a slight breeze flowing between the sky and the earth.
Yi Chi, who had just left the bar, was half awakened from his drunken state by the wind.
He covered his head and shook it slowly to get rid of the drunkenness a little.
"Hey, the world is so big, is there still room for me?" Looking at the people around him who were still laughing and shopping even at night, Yi Chi suddenly felt that they were very humble, and their happiness was so fragile, as long as it was so gentle
With one blow, it can be sent to pieces, just like myself.
"Haha, I don't know when they will come to take my life. Hey, I don't even have the capital for revenge. Haha, I'm such a waste." Yi Chi was no longer worried. He thought about revenge, but, then
What a luxury it is. When people go out, they just keep a lot of weight. What about you? After running around all year round and being asked to drink with guests, your body is not as good as before. In front of others, you can say that you are helpless.
No matter how powerful you are, you can't beat them.
Walking on the street with the lights on, Yi Chi's heart slowly calmed down.
"Come on, come on, walk by, don't miss it, all kinds of small jewelry are available for one yuan."
“The freshly baked sweet potatoes are delicious and cheap.”
"Tanghulu, two yuan per bunch."
“Big sale on out-of-print T-shirts.”
Stop and watch while walking around on both sides of the streets with various hawking sounds.
Yi Chi was attracted by it.
Yi Chi was looking around and was attracted by a street stall selling antiques. To be precise, it was a dagger on it.
The bronze handle has a little patina, and is inlaid with seven gems. The dazzling light is so shining, the silver dagger blade is shining, and a long blood groove shows that it is not used for anything.
The one who cuts vegetables is used to kill people.
When the stall owner saw Yi Chi staring straight at the dagger, the smile on his face grew stronger and stronger.
"Hey, here comes the fat sheep." I thought happily.
"Sir, if you need anything, just take it. The stuff here is cheap." The street stall owner said, advertising the bargains.
After hearing the boss's words, Yi Chi was not polite and picked up the dagger to admire it.
"How is it? It's very good, isn't it? This dagger has a long history. In other words, it was more than ten years ago." The stall owner stared at Yi Chi with a deep look.
"It was a dark cloudy night, and I went treasure hunting with some local brothers. Outside an old cemetery, we found a very hidden cave entrance, so the brothers decided to go in and have a look.
The dark cave entrance, even now, I still dream about. At that time, when I was young, ignorant, and not afraid of anything, my brothers had the courage to enter the cave with a flashlight." Speaking of this, the stall owner secretly
He looked around, as if he was afraid that others would hear him, then he pulled Yi Chi to the back of the stall and spoke softly again.
"There was no light in the cave, and there was only a flashlight. We moved forward with the faint light. After walking for about half an hour, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in front of us. We seemed to have grabbed a life-saving rope in the deep water.
We ran over excitedly, and when we got closer, we discovered that it was a huge tomb, and the light turned out to be the oil lamp in the tomb. According to our observation, the tomb was probably thousands of years old.
, the bronze coffin was placed in the middle of the tomb, and the surrounding walls and top were engraved with strange words. I later found out that they were ancient inscriptions, and this dagger was found in that coffin.
Yes, except for the dagger, there was nothing in the coffin. We were also frightened at that time, that is, I took the dagger on purpose. The other few were timid and saw such weird things.
, I was immediately frightened and scared to go out. Strangely enough, no matter how hard we searched from now on, we couldn’t find the entrance to the cave. After that, the matter was settled." The stall owner said here, and also took the money from Yi Chi.
He took back the dagger and stared at him with deep eyes, which made Yi Chi's face feel a little cold.
"Haha." He laughed a few times, which relieved the atmosphere a little. Although Yi Chi didn't believe what the boss said, he was still frightened by it.
"How about it? Is it a big deal? Look at the gems on it and the patina. This is an antique from thousands of years ago!" the boss introduced excitedly.
"Ahem, boss, it's not that exaggerated. Also, were the daggers from thousands of years ago made of alloy? You're really exaggerating. Tell me a real price. If it's reasonable, I'll buy it.
"Yes." Yi Chi said quickly, he was really afraid that if the boss continued to talk, he might say that the dagger was a magical weapon.
"Haha, my brother turns out to be an expert, so I won't cheat you. I'll sell it to you for 1,000." The boss said with a coy look on his face.
"Haha, 1,000 is too expensive. In one sentence, I'll buy it for 200." Yi Chi bargained.
"800, it can't be cheaper."
"300, no matter how expensive it is, I won't buy it."
"600, it can't go any lower."
"500, if you like it, sell it or not."
"Okay, 500 is 500. Oh, what a loss."
Finally, Yi Chi bought this beautiful dagger for 500.
After Yi Chi left, the boss quickly took out another dagger that was exactly the same as before from the backpack behind him and placed it on the stall.
"Hey, the purchase price was 100, the sale was 500, and I made a profit of 400. Haha, I can go to Miaomei Palace again tonight." The street stall owner said with a lewd smile.
