treasure hunter

Pei Miao smiled lightly and said, "Soldiers are more expensive than fine ones. The quality of today's stones is obviously much higher. This marking is interesting. The performance of the stones will be better after the marking. I'm looking forward to the final marking tomorrow." .”

Ah Fa nodded and said, "Indeed, I spent a day in the marking field today, and I also feel that today's marking stones performed very well."

Seeing him flipping through his notes, Pei Miao asked, "Can you lend me your notes?"

Ah Fa handed the note to Pei Miao without hesitation, and said, "Look."

Pei Miao took the notebook and looked through it carefully, and saw that every piece of paper was densely written, because Ah Fa had read a statement from the Jade King from the Jade King's stone betting notes, saying that the shape of the rough stone also belonged to the One of the manifestations, so in Ah Fa's notes, there is a detailed description of the shape of each stone. If words can't describe it, I will draw a picture. In some places, there are even photos. Pei Miao was amazed and couldn't believe it. These are notes that humans can make. In terms of the level of detail of the data records, Pei Miao thinks that there is absolutely no data in the gambling stone notes that can be more detailed than Ah Fa's data.

After reading it, Pei Miao returned the notes to Ah Fa and asked, "Are you going to enter these data into the computer when you go back?"

"Yes." Ah Fa nodded, "Entering into the computer is more convenient for statistics and settlement, and I can get the data I want more quickly."

Pei Miao asked again: "Then how much data have you collected so far?"

Ah Fa said: "If you count today's ones, there are already 3250 stones."

Pei Miao nodded and said, "There is a long way to go. When your data volume exceeds [-], it should be considered a small achievement."

Ah Fa asked: "If you want to make a big success, how much data do you need?"

Pei Miao thought for a while, and said, "It must reach [-]."

"Wow, one hundred thousand! That's a lot!" Ah Fa scratched his head and said, "It will take many years."

Pei Miao smiled and cheered him up: "Come on! Sao Nian, you are the future king of gambling!"

Ah Fa smiled silly and nodded: "I will persevere."

Pei Miao said: "When this big public offer is over, I will let our jewelry company set up a collection point office in Ruili, appoint you as the manager of the office, and collect stones and cut stones there. All the materials are returned to Jinling headquarters, and the headquarters will allocate funds to the office every month. In this way, you can collect a lot of data on good stones every day. I just checked the data you recorded, and the data on good stones is too little. , Most of them are stones worth hundreds of dollars and more than 1000 dollars, and it is really too difficult to cut out Gao Cui from such stones."

Ah Fa nodded: "Okay, I will record more data on good stones in the future. The Ruili collection point you mentioned...will I go there alone?"

Pei Miao asked, "Who else do you want to bring there?"

Ah Fa laughed dryly: "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it alone."

Pei Miao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you go there alone."

"Oh..." Ah Fa nodded sullenly, as if he had something on his mind, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Can Ming Jia come with me?"

Pei Miao was taken aback when she heard the words, and then smiled helplessly: "It's really hard for me to make a decision. After all, she is from Wang Huijun. How about I let Hou Lanhua go with you and let her move rocks or something."

"Pull it down." Ah Fa shook his head, "You really are, letting such a pretty little girl carry stones is simply a thorn in the side."

Pei Miao said depressedly: "If you don't know how to use words, don't use them indiscriminately. What is meant by a tricky hand?"

The two chatted without saying a word in the lobby. Soon, it was time to pay the fee and get the stone. The two pushed the trolley into the bidding field, paid the fee first, and then got the stone.

Probably because of the rain, the number of people participating in the bidding today was [-]-[-]% lower than yesterday, so they received the stones much faster than yesterday. Within half an hour, all nine stones were received.

After receiving the stones, Chen Wei suddenly came to Pei Miao, handed him two sets of raincoats, and said, "Give me two sets of raincoats, it's not very convenient to use an umbrella."

"Thank you." Pei Miao took the raincoat and asked with a smile, "Where did you get the raincoat?"

"Employees bought it."

Pei Miao thanked again and handed a set of raincoats to Ah Fa. The two put on the raincoats on the spot, said goodbye to Chen Wei, and then left the bidding field with the trolley.

Wearing a raincoat is indeed much more comfortable than holding an umbrella. The two of them pushed the trolley, braved the wind and rain to the parking lot, and loaded ten stones into the car. Pei Miao drove Wang Xiaoshuai's car, and Ah Fa drove a car he rented Although there are many luxury cars parked in the underground garage of the villa, Ah Fa knows that they are all prepared by the Jin family for Pei Miao, so he is not willing to drive them. If it broke down, the repair fee made him dread. Although Ah Fen is rich now, his consumption concept has not changed at all, so he chooses to rent a car and drive it by himself.

Neither of these two cars can pull goods, but it doesn't matter. Nine stones can be loaded into the two cars separately, and they can fit. If the trunk can't fit, then put it on the back seat...

During the time when the stone was moved to the car, the raincoat played a role, because it is impossible to open an umbrella when moving the stone, even if one person helps another person to hold an umbrella. If you have an umbrella, you will also feel that the rain is coming from all directions. The role of the umbrella is probably to prevent the rain from hurting yourself.

It's completely different if you have a raincoat, that is, the shoes are a little wet.

After all the stones were loaded into the car, the two took off their raincoats, got into their respective cars, and drove home.

Back at Jin's villa, because it was raining, the car drove directly into the garage. When everyone heard that Pei Miao was back, they all came to the garage to welcome Pei Miao. Wang Xiaoshuai couldn't help sighing when he saw that Pei Miao actually used his new car to transport stones. : "Sure enough, I can't have this car anymore, I can't have it..."

The stones are temporarily stacked in the corner of the garage.

Ah Fa and Pei Miao went to take a shower first, and then gathered with everyone in the restaurant to chat and play cards. Now they have upgraded their card game, they stopped playing poker and played mahjong.

Pei Miao had no interest in playing mahjong, so he just sat aside and played with his mobile phone. To be honest, it had been a long time since he sat down and played with his mobile phone quietly like now.

Ah Fa was holding a high-level Rubik's Cube and sitting on the side playing Rubik's Cube. Ming Jia was obviously more interested in Rubik's Cube, so she sat next to Ah Fa and watched Ah Fa play Rubik's Cube. , she could only look and sigh, and at the same time, the admiration in her eyes became stronger and stronger.

Everyone played until dinner, and the rain outside seemed to be a little lighter. While eating, everyone was discussing whether to go to Dagongpan tomorrow, because the weather forecast said that it would still rain tomorrow.

Pei Miao and Ah Fa are definitely going, needless to say, Wang Xiaoshuai said that rainy days are the best time to stay at home to sleep or play games, so he doesn't want to go, Ye Xiangnan originally wanted to stay at home, but Ye Lan glared at him: " What are you doing at home? Are you an otaku?"

Ye Xiangnan hurriedly changed his words: "Then... I'd better go and play."

Wang Xiaoshuai said to Ming Jia, "Miss Ming Jia, it's still going to rain heavily tomorrow, so don't go there, it's so uncomfortable to get wet, and you'll catch a cold easily."

Ming Jia said: "I went, anyway, I went by car. When I got to the bidding ground, I couldn't get wet. At worst, I wore a raincoat and rain boots."

Pei Miao asked Jin Dawei, "Dawei, do you have a raincoat and rain boots at home?"

Jin Dawei said: "I'll go ask Auntie."

Jin Dawei walked out of the restaurant. After a while, he came back and said, "There are only five sets at home. I just called and sent someone to buy them, and they will be delivered later."

Pei Miao said, "It's inhumane for you to make people buy rain gear in the rain on this heavy rainy day."

Jin Dawei said: "It's very humane, okay? I paid 200 yuan just for running errands."

Li Xueyang couldn't help giving him a thumbs up when he heard the words: "Conscience boss, I give you a thumbs up."

Jin Dawei smiled and cupped his hands: "Thanks for the compliment, please be polite."

When the rain gear arrived, everyone rushed to try it on and choose the raincoat and rain boots that fit their size. Wang Xiaoshuai also came up to join in the fun and took a set.

Pei Miao looked at Wang Xiaoshuai suspiciously: "Aren't you going, why do you need a raincoat and rain boots?"

Wang Xiaoshuai raised his eyebrows helplessly: "I'm so bored at home by myself, I'd better go with you to join in the fun."

Everyone got a suitable raincoat and rain boots, Pei Miao went upstairs to read a book, Ah Fa also went upstairs to sort out the materials, and the others went back to the restaurant to continue playing mahjong.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Pei Miao closed her book and was about to go to bed when her cell phone rang, and it was actually called by Mr. Ye. Pei Miao quickly connected and said respectfully, "Master, hello."

"Well, hello, Pei Miao." Ye Lao said, "I called you so late, so I didn't disturb your rest."

"No, I haven't rested yet." Pei Miao smiled and said, "Did the teacher call me for something?"

"It's something." Ye Lao said, "I heard that you joined the Special Operations Department?"

Pei Miao was a little surprised when he heard that his joining the Special Operations Department was a relatively confidential matter, yet Mr. Ye found out about it so quickly. Since Mr. Ye knew, there was no need for him to hide it, so he responded: "Well, yes. of."

Ye Laodao: "It's pretty good. Serving the country is more of a man's true nature. I'm very proud of you."

Pei Miao said: "I also want to do something for the country in the last period of my life, and this life is worthwhile."

"Alas..." Upon hearing such words, Ye Lao's mood became inexplicably heavy, and he sighed helplessly.

"I'm sorry." Pei Miao hurriedly apologized, "I've affected Master's mood."

"No." Ye Lao laughed dryly and said, "Last time you asked me to help you find a man named Li Tieniu...you have a clue."

Pei Miao was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "Where is he?"

Ye Lao was silent for a moment, his voice was a little low, and he said, "You have to be mentally prepared."

Hearing this, Pei Miao's heart sank to the bottom. He froze for a moment, and asked slowly, "He...is dead?"

Ye Lao said: "Almost, he... disappeared."

"Missing?" Pei Miao frowned and asked, "How did you disappear?"

Ye Laodao: "The last time he appeared was in 1980, on a dock in Guangzhou. At that time, he was a small steward of the dock, similar to the current contractor. The contractor accidentally fell into the water while carrying the bag and drowned. According to the contract signed before, the employer would have to lose money, and the contractor had a good relationship with Li Tieniu. The contractor died, and there were only two children under ten years old and a widowed mother left in the family. Li Tieniu gave some money to the family of the deceased out of his own pocket, and then went to the boss of Party A to ask for compensation, but the boss of Party A refused to accept the account, and the two parties started a dispute. During the dispute, the boss of Party A asked Ma Zi to beat Li Tieniu, Li Tieniu seemed to have learned martial arts, fought with them, and finally killed the boss by mistake, piercing the heart of Party A's boss with a pen."

Pei Miao was shocked and lost her voice when she heard the words, "Did he kill someone?"

"Yes." Ye Lao said, "He is actually a wanted criminal. The police have been arresting him since then, but he escaped early and never appeared again after that, as if he had evaporated from the world."

Pei Miao couldn't calm down when she heard this. Li Tieniu was actually a wanted criminal, and he had disappeared for more than 40 years. The police couldn't find him for more than 40 years. Maybe he was no longer alive. How could he find him? In an instant, Pei Miao felt So desperate, this way of life has also been cut off.

"Pei Miao, Pei Miao..." Ye Lao kept calling Pei Miao on the phone.

Pei Miao lost his mind, Elder Ye yelled several times before he came to his senses and replied, "Master, I'm here."

Ye Laodao: "It can be seen that you must be in a bad mood, but things are already like this, so don't think about it."

Pei Miao tried her best to behave calmly, and said, "Okay, Master, I'm actually fine, I just thought of my grandpa, and I was a little distracted."

"It's fine." Ye Lao said, "By the way, No. 12 next month is Mr. Ma Chongwen's birthday. Although the Ma family is not planning to make a big fuss, I still plan to let Ye Xiangnan and Ye Lan send it on my behalf. A congratulatory gift is over. After all, Ma Chongwen contributed a lot to winning honor for the country in the last stone betting match with the island country. Personally, I have been fascinated by his demeanor for a long time. Last time he came to Shanghai, I invited him I went to meet you, but I couldn't see you, and I was very disappointed. Pei Miao, you are my apprentice, so let's celebrate birthday with Ye Xiangnan and Ye Lan, after all, I heard that you and Ma Chongwen are quite familiar."

Pei Miao said: "Mr. Ma didn't invite me, would it be a bit abrupt for me to go hastily?"

"You can represent me like Ye Xiangnan and the others." Ye Lao said with a smile, "Don't forget, you are my apprentice."

When Pei Miao heard this, she couldn't refuse, and said, "Okay, then Ye Xiangnan and I will go to celebrate the birthday together."

"Well, darling, well, it's late, you should go to bed early, and I'll go to bed too."

"Good night, Master."

Both master and apprentice hung up the phone at the same time.

Pei Miao threw the phone on the bedside table, and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. Li Tieniu probably couldn't find it, and his way of life was missing. He was in a bad mood at the moment.

Because of this incident, Pei Miao didn't sleep well tonight.

The next morning, it didn't rain, but the air was very humid. We got up early, had breakfast, and set off together to Dagongpan.

Just as the car was on the road, there was a heavy downpour, and the entire road was covered with fog, making it difficult to see. The traffic was congested for a while. By the time they arrived at Dagongpan, it was almost dinner time.

There are still not many people participating in the Dagong market today, even worse than yesterday. The street stall square is the same as yesterday, there is not a single street stall.

Considering that it was raining heavily today, it was inconvenient to go out to eat. Everyone brought a lot of snacks. Hou Lanhua was carrying a backpack full of delicious food.

Pei Miao gnawed on the bread while entering the bidding field. As soon as she entered the bidding field, Pei Miao was stunned, and the others all exclaimed: "Damn! Such a big stone!"

I saw a huge stone in the middle of the bidding field. Strictly speaking, it was a huge stone that was cut in half. The height of this stone is estimated to be more than two meters. At this moment, many people are surrounded by this stone. Around, the stone was at least sixteen centimeters taller than these people.

Pei Miao also quickly stepped forward and came to the side of the stone, and saw a sign beside the stone, on which was written the detailed data of the stone, with a weight of 18100kg and a base price of 1000 million.

After seeing the weight, Ye Xiangnan murmured: "One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, eighteen thousand one hundred kilograms, that's..."

Ah Fa said: "18 tons."

"My... oh my god!" Ye Xiangnan looked at the huge stone in front of him in disbelief, and asked, "Is there such a big emerald rough?"
