Liu Zian recalled it now, it was really an unbelievable place.

During the day, the fog filled the air from morning to night, and the outlines of buildings were all melted into a vast expanse of whiteness.No, to be precise, it's not fog. It doesn't have the watery feeling of fog, but it's like smoke. If you smoke too much, you feel your nasal cavity is burning.Walking on the road, there is silence everywhere, and there are few people.Occasionally pass by someone, the face of the other party is also hidden behind the thick fog, indistinguishable.Human voices could be heard from time to time in the house, but once they heard the footsteps of Zi'an and Mr. Baohe, the voices stopped abruptly.

The sun was setting and the twilight was low. There should be few outsiders in this village on weekdays. Zi'an and Mr. Baohe walked around but couldn't find a place to stay.Later, a person who claimed to be the head of the village peeped out through the gap in the door and said that he could take the two of them to stay for one night, but only if he paid the accommodation fee and promised to get up and leave at dawn the next morning.The two said it was okay, so he asked them to put the money for the accommodation through the crack of the door. After a while, the village head gently pushed the door open to a narrow gap that only one person could pass through. After that, he didn't expect that the village chief would slam the door shut as soon as his foot stepped into it, which made him wonder if his foot would be useless if he was so late.

The sleeping room is a spacious big house, and there is no one else in the house except the two masters and apprentices.Mr. Baohe expressed that he was very satisfied with the accommodation environment and fell asleep in a short while.However, Liu Zian felt that there was an indescribable strangeness everywhere in this place, and he still couldn't sleep until late at night.

Go out for a walk, maybe you will feel sleepy after a few laps.Liu Zi said with peace of mind.

So in the middle of the night, he got out of bed.

As Liu Zian was walking, he was thinking about his future plans, and made up his mind that after this trip, he would have a showdown with his husband and go home to continue his life as a young master.Although it seems a bit heartless to do so, I have really had enough of this kind of life without a fixed place, and I have lost the initial freshness of the outside world, and now I just want to go home and be a rice bug obediently.

At this time, Liu Zian felt as if he was stepping on something hard, because he didn't have a lantern in his hand, so he had to pick it up, and looked carefully under the dim moonlight, only to see a flat jade pendant lying in the palm of his hand.This jade pendant is exquisite and weird in shape, a woman with a graceful figure is directly carved on the jade blank.Several layers of plant vines are hollowed out around the woman, and it looks like the woman is bound in these layers of vines.

Liu Zian felt that the texture of this piece of jade was quite good, and the carving was exquisite. Although the lower part looked a little dirty, it should be able to wear it after cleaning it.As for the price, Liu Zian said that his family has a big business, buying a jade pendant is like playing for fun, not to mention that this jade pendant was picked up by himself on the road, even if he wanted to give money, there was nowhere to give it.

Just like that, Liu Zian returned to the village chief's house in a happy mood with the jade pendant he had picked up, and soon fell asleep.

"Save me...help me out..."

In his dream, Zian seemed to see a woman in white calling for help.

Waking up early the next morning, Zian took out the jade pendant he picked up yesterday from his bosom. He felt that the strange dream last night had something to do with this jade pendant.

At this time, the sunlight came in from the outside of the house, sprinkled obliquely on the jade pendant, reflecting a layer of hazy light, and Liu Zian suddenly discovered that the part he thought was mud last night was not mud at all, but this piece of jade pendant. The lower part of the jade pendant itself showed a dark red color, which made people unconsciously think that it was not jade, but a solidified blood clot!Looking at the sculpture that made me fall in love at first sight, it was indeed exquisite, even the expression of the woman was vividly portrayed, which made people see a strange idea of ​​struggling in a cage.Help me... The voice of the woman in white in the dream seemed to be right next to my ears.

"Ah!" Zian couldn't help shouting.

"What's the matter?" Mr. Baohe rushed over after hearing the news, his face was wet, it was obvious that he just heard Zian's cry when he was washing up, and rushed over without even wiping his face.

"It's nothing, I just saw a big bug and was taken aback." Zian subconsciously didn't tell the truth.

"It's inevitable that you'll see some bugs and ants when you go out, as long as you're fine." Mr. Baohe breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Liu Zian was fine.

"Sir, your hair is dragging to the ground..." Liu Zian reminded in a low voice.

"Ah... It really was dragged to the ground." Mr. Baohe carefully held the part of the hair that had been in close contact with the ground just now, "I'm going to take care of my hair, you hurry up and pack your luggage, the two of us Depart on time in a quarter of an hour."

After that, he left in a hurry.

Liu Zian took out the jade after Mr. Baohe's footsteps had gone away. He hid the jade in his sleeve in a hurry just now, and felt an inexplicable coolness suddenly burst out from the jade, and then spread across his limbs. open.But the coolness is not creepy, it just stimulates my skin slightly like a needle in a cow's hair, especially in this sweltering long summer, the coolness feels very comfortable.

It's also good to keep it to relieve the heat.Zian said so to himself.Although he subconsciously felt that this jade was not quite right, but the smooth sailing for a long time made him ignore the uneasiness in his heart.

The master and apprentice did not get lost in the next journey, but after more than half a month, they received the reward and travel expenses smoothly and returned to Liu Zian's home.

"Don't think too much, isn't it good that you don't get lost? You can get lost no matter where you go."

Although Mr. Baohe said so, Liu Zian still felt that his recent luck was surprisingly good.I didn’t get lost with Mr. Baohe, and even when I went to a restaurant to eat, I would meet a big official’s table, and the audience was free.

Later, when Liu Zian gradually got used to the good luck around him, he discovered a little-known secret—the good luck was probably brought to him by that piece of jade.The reason is simple, every time he wants to get good luck, the piece of jade will always give off a coolness like ox hair needles irritating the skin, and then good luck will come.

Although this reason is unimaginable, how can the worldly things explain it clearly? For example, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, how could I believe that people would get lost even wherever they looked?Moreover, things like jade are born with aura. If Wangzhu said that the spiritual thing has existed since ancient times, then maybe this piece of jade is really Wangzhu jade.So Liu Zian took extra care of this piece of precious jade, for fear of hurting this spiritual creature.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and soon someone discovered Zian's unusual good fortune.This person is none other than Liu Zian's fourth brother.

"Zian, I haven't seen you go out with Mr. Baohe for a long time." Liu Zian looked up and saw that it was the fourth brother, so he replied lazily: "I'm tired, I don't want to go out with him."

Although Liu Zian himself has no abilities, but his vision is not low. Some look down on him, the fourth brother who is idle all day long, and his attitude towards him is only superficial.Normally, the fourth brother of the Liu family would have left when he saw that his younger brother didn’t want to talk to him, and he wouldn’t be making fun of himself, but today he approached Liu Zian with a playful smile and said, “Brother, you see you are bored all day long. It's so boring at home, and you will get sick again later. How about fourth brother taking you out to play?"

Liu Zian remained silent, thinking that his fourth brother might be playing up some crooked ideas again.That's right, since he was a child, he has taken the blame for this fourth brother, big and small. If his father and brothers hadn't spoiled him, he would have been kicked out of the house long ago.There must be no good things in the place where the fourth brother is, this is one of the reasons why Liu Zian does not want to get close to the fourth brother.

The fourth brother obviously thought of something, smiled awkwardly, rubbed his nose and said: "Father and brothers are at home, what else can I do? What's more, you went out with Mr. Baohe so much." Many times, people who have seen the big world, are you still afraid of me, a little bastard who has never been out of the city?"

That's right.Liu Zian is quite confident in his current resilience, after all, not everyone will catch up with a master who is always lost.

"Where are you going?" Liu Zian asked, with some expectation in his tone.

The fourth brother of the Liu family pointed to the west, and said in a low voice, "Yin'er Lane."

Yin'er Lane is a well-known den of selling gold. Once you enter Yin'er Lane, you will only feel that there are crowds of people, and there will be voices of shouting and drinking in your ears from time to time, so it is very lively.

Although Liu Zian had been to many places with his husband, he had never seen such a scene, and subconsciously wanted to escape.But after thinking about it, I can be regarded as a person who has traveled far, and it would be too shameful to be scared by such a scene and run away.So he gritted his teeth and pretended not to be surprised.

The fourth brother of the Liu family is quite familiar with this place, as comfortable as a fish in water.He led Liu Zian to the door of a gambling house. Along the way, many people greeted "Fourth Master" and "Fourth Master". The angry look is completely different from when he was at home.

"Zian, I've been to this gambling house a few times, and the water is not too deep to catch some fish. Go in and have a look first, I'll come and find you after changing the lottery."

Liu Zian nodded, and stepped into the casino cautiously, not daring to go in, but timidly standing at the door, like a child who has done something wrong.

Gambling can be said to be all-encompassing, from dice, Pai Gow, flower cards, mahjong, to dog fighting, cock fighting, twisting beans, guessing gods... It can be said that anything that falls into the hands of a gambler can become a gambling tool. Picking two leaves in one go can win or lose the bet.Of course, this gambling house is not very big, and most of the people entertained are some street gangsters, so it is impossible to have so many tricks.In this small room, there are several long tables, each of which is surrounded by [-] or [-] people, who gamble on ordinary dice and Pai Gow.

When the fourth brother of the Liu family found him, he searched around the house but didn't see his brother, so he panicked: don't let someone abduct him.You must know that the reason why Yin'er Lane became a well-known gold selling cave is not only because of its many gambling houses.There is everything to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble here, and there are not a few people who are engaged in human trafficking and flesh and blood business.Just as he turned around to call more people to look for his younger brother, he saw Liu Zian pretending to be a quail at the entrance.

"Brother, you scared my brother to death. I thought you... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Look, this is the common gambling lottery here, isn't it the same as the one you saw outside?" Liu Jiasi Seeing that Zian was fine, his heart finally fell back to his original place, and he began to think about how to make a fortune.

"Ah... it's about the same as the ones outside." Liu Zian didn't know the difference, after all, this was the first time he entered a gambling house in his life.But he felt that such things should all look about the same.
