Fireproof anti-theft anti-bamboo horse

The booth looked nothing special, a huge bamboo basket was filled with shells of different sizes, Lu Cheng didn't know what it was, it looked like oysters, but it didn't look like the ones in his hand.

He dragged Xu Boyan over and squatted beside the booth to watch curiously. Some shells had bumps on them, and some were bigger than a palm, which didn't look like something to eat.

"Boss, what is this?" Sitting behind the bamboo basket was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, extending from the corner of his eye to his cheek. Although he looked terrifying, his expression was smiling, perhaps Because of business reasons, I tried my best to be kind to myself, but it seemed a little weird.

"Young man, you are a foreigner." The man said, his voice sounded like a rusty lathe that had just been oiled, "Would you like to buy one to try your luck? Make sure there are pearls in each one, it is worth the money."

Xu Boyan raised his eyebrows slightly, this is probably the gambling bead in the coastal area.

There are gambling stones in Yunnan. The seemingly inconspicuous stones may be worth tens of thousands of emeralds. Then gambling pearls mean that the shells you buy have pearls with good shape and fineness.

However, this uncertainty factor is very large, and the water is deep. Some tourist areas even specifically hire a few trustees to deceive buyers in order to deceive tourists into paying.

Although Lu Cheng was a little interested, they didn't have enough cash to be a prodigal, so he picked up a very inconspicuous small shell, only the size of a sea rainbow.

"how much is this?"

"This is too small and worthless. If you want it, just give it 100." The man said casually, implying that Lu Cheng took advantage of it.

Lu Cheng didn't understand the way, exchanged glances with Xu Boyan, and then saw Xu Boyan stretched out two fingers.

He understood: "20 yuan?"

"20 yuan is too little," the man hesitated for a while, and then changed his words, "I haven't opened the shop today, so I saw you because of fate, so I'll sell it to you at a loss."

So Lu Cheng handed over the money, and the man cut open the shell he chose with a knife, and there was a black pearl inside.

"Young man, you are really lucky!" The man exclaimed exaggeratedly, "I have never seen anyone open a black pearl before."

"Really, then I'm really lucky. It seems that I can buy a lottery ticket."

"Yeah, I don't think it's just luck. You're quite discerning. Why don't you choose a few big ones? You can get more than a dozen pearls out of one of these, which can be used to make a bracelet. When the time comes You go find someone to process it, and you will definitely like it as a gift to your girlfriend."

Xu Boyan quietly watched the boss brag. When the other party mentioned the word "girlfriend", a cold look flashed across his eyes, but seeing that Lu Cheng was quite happy, he didn't say anything to stop him.

However, Lu Cheng had no intention of continuing to gamble.

He took the black pearl, its shape was a bit oval, and its color was not translucent black. Lu Cheng didn't like jewelry, and there were few women in his family, so he didn't know anything about pearls and gems. After getting it in the hands, the freshness is almost over, and there is a feeling that it is nothing more than that.

Betting on beads is the same as drawing a lottery. It is expected to be a surprise or a return greater than the investment.

But this one in his hand, looking left and right, is not as dazzling as the glass balls he collected when he was a child.

He suddenly felt that spending 20 yuan for such a thing would be better than eating two bowls of noodle soup.

"Forget it, I don't have a girlfriend, so it's useless to ask for so many." Lu Cheng looked up at Xu Boyan, "Let's go."

On the way back, Lu Cheng played with the pearl in his hand while walking, and asked, "This thing doesn't look very valuable."

"Freshwater cultured ones are really worthless." Xu Boyan said to him, "There is no sea area suitable for breeding seawater black pearls in our country."

"Eh? Then you still let me buy it, and you didn't stop me?" Lu Cheng was anxious, "It feels so stupid to buy a broken bead for 20 yuan."

"I see that you are very interested, 20 yuan is not expensive, so you can buy it for fun, and although the freshwater fish is not as valuable as seawater, the market price of this one in your hand is not only 20, so it is not a loss. "

"When you say that, I feel more balanced. After all, people like me have never even won the door scratcher, and don't expect to get rich by luck." Lu Cheng held up the pearl again and looked left and right through the sunlight. Look, "But wouldn't the boss lose money?"

Xu Boyan smiled, and stretched out his hand to scrape the tip of his nose. He rarely did this to Lu Cheng, and now he felt an indescribable pampering feeling: "Not all people like you know how to accept when they are good. .”

"The boss just wants to give you some benefits first, and then encourage you to buy more shells."

"The routine is so deep. It's probably the kind of psychology that wants to come back if you lose, and want to make more money if you win?"

"Well, whether it's gambling with stones or beads, except for a small number of people with real skills, the rest are considered tuition fees." Xu Boyan paused, and then said, "I'm afraid that you will become addicted to the game. We left all our belongings there."

"I'm not that stupid." Lu Cheng retorted softly.

"Forgot that shooting in the night market?"

"..." He seemed to be in a good position, if Xu Boyan hadn't helped him turn things around that time, I'm afraid his few banknotes would have been lost.

Lu Cheng was a little guilty, and even changed the subject: "Anyway, I think this bead looks pretty, so why not find a master to polish it, and put it on your bracelet."

Xu Boyan covered his left wrist when he heard the words: "No need."

"This is the first time I've won a lottery, and it's good as a talisman." Lu Cheng thought Xu Boyan's action was a little funny, "And yours has been worn for too long, it's faded, if I like it, I'll make another one for you How nice."

Xu Boyan shook his head: "I just want this."

After all, this bracelet has been with him for so many years, and it is the only thing about Lu Cheng that he took away.

Significance.

"Okay then, but I'm going to add this bead," Lu Cheng said solemnly, "I'll share all my good luck with you."

It was really not easy to find a jewelry store from Linhai. They shopped all afternoon, but couldn't find it.

"We can only talk about it after we go back." Lu Cheng noticed that they had walked to a completely unfamiliar street before he knew it. "There is a hardware store over there, shall we go and see?"

Xu Boyan: ...

It's not like using an electric drill.

Lu Cheng also seemed to think it was unreliable, but at this time they were almost at the door of the hardware store.

The door of the dilapidated hardware store was closed, leaving only a gap, the two of them didn't care, and were about to move forward, when suddenly there was a loud noise inside.

It sounded like a heavy object being thrown to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, there was a series of ugly curses mixed with the sound of pots and pans, which seemed to be arguing, and it seemed that there was only one person in unilateral hysteria.

Lu Cheng and Xu Boyan's footsteps paused, and at the same time they both wanted to speed up.But just when they were about to walk over, the door of the hardware store was suddenly pushed open, and a figure ran out from inside. It seemed that there were no pedestrians at the door. He couldn't stop for a while, and suddenly bumped into Lu. Cheng's body.

Lu Cheng was startled, and when the person who hit him looked up, he realized that it was the boy who stole his wallet and sent it back.

"You..." Before Lu Cheng could speak, another ferocious man chased out of the room, holding a rolling pin in his hand.

"Where are you going, little brat?" The man waved the rolling pin, cursing dirtyly, "You dare to run away before you get the money back, see if I don't beat you to death!"

"Stop!" Lu Cheng was hurriedly protected by the boy, "How can you hit someone casually!"

"I care about my son, none of your business!" The man became even angrier when he saw that the child was being supported, "If you don't want to be beaten, don't meddle in his own business!"

Just when he raised the murder weapon again, his wrist was grasped and pulled down, and the rolling pin fell to the ground.

Xu Boyan had already stood in front of Lu Cheng and kicked away the rolling pin that fell on the ground.

"Are you courting death?" The man smelled of alcohol all over his body, and there was a stench in his breath.Xu Boyan frowned in disgust, grabbed the opponent's wrist the moment he swung his fist, and punched the man in the stomach with his right hand.

The man clutched his stomach in pain, the pain made him lose his mind, and he hit him regardless.

He was very strong, and he was also a drunkard. Xu Boyan scratched a mark on his arm by his nails a little carelessly.

Lu Cheng asked the boy to run away and hide, and when he turned his head and saw this scene, his anger immediately flared up.He stepped forward and kicked the man's chest fiercely and fiercely, causing the man to back up a few steps, and then he threw him over his shoulder and smashed him to the ground.

"You fucking move again!" Lu Cheng raised his foot to step on the man's stomach, the hostility in his eyes hadn't disappeared, he stomped his feet a few more times in confusion, the pain made the man cry out loud, "Believe it or not, I'll kill you!"

The most unbearable thing in Lu Cheng's life is when someone touches Xu Boyan, like Ni Lin, who touches whoever touches whoever blows up, even if he doesn't move a finger.

There was someone who was not afraid of death and wanted to hit the muzzle of the gun. Lu Chenghong panted heavily with eyes wide open, but held Xu Boyan's arm very carefully.

"Does it hurt?" The two clear red marks on his fair skin made Lu Cheng feel so distressed, he leaned up and blew gently, his fingertips kept trembling, "I'll go buy you alcohol to disinfect right away. .”

"It doesn't hurt." Xu Boyan hadn't seen Lu Cheng lose his composure for a long time. He quickly held him in his arms, stroked his back slowly, and comforted him, "I don't hurt, I'm fine, Cheng Brother, don't be nervous."

Lu Cheng's body froze, and he turned his head to look at the man lying on the ground. After confirming that he would not be able to get up in a short time, he buried his head in Xu Boyan's chest, and exhaled slowly.

"Xiao Yan... don't do it again next time."

Xu Boyan knew that he cared too much. Although he didn't have Lu Cheng's skills, he wouldn't suffer too much in a fight.He didn't want Lu Cheng to rush to the front every time he was in danger.

However, seeing the other party's remorse and distress, he nodded against his will.

Lu Chengping regained his composure, and then he remembered the boy just now. When he found him, he was squatting next to the trash can, clutching his stomach, his face pale as paper.

"What's wrong with you? Where are you hurt?" Lu Cheng didn't dare to touch him rashly.

The boy closed his eyes tightly, as if he heard his words, he raised his head with difficulty, his voice was weak.

"Brother, I hurt."
