Pixiu Rearing Guide

Auction begins.

The air of the exhibition hall echoed with the uneven, machine-like sound of price chanting by the staff. The buyer's booth frequently raised placards, and each exhibit was hammered down one after another. Soon it was Du Ziyu's turn to focus on the rough stone auction.

The starting price is 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and the high-definition photos of the lot are immediately displayed on the big screen, as well as the converted prices in US dollars, euros, RMB, etc.The staff chanted the price three times, and if no one raises the placard, the price will be called down. If no one responds to the call for the bottom price, it is the so-called failed auction.

Du Ziyu fiddled with the number plate in his hand, and the sound of quotations echoed in his ears repeatedly, until he skipped his reserve price, and then quoted two more numbers.

"3389!" Du Ziyu half-raised his right hand, and the voice of the staff reading out the number plate echoed in the hall: "No. 3389 is 156 million Hong Kong dollars once!"

"160 million." The seller's seat in front of him held up the plate number 5888, Du Ziyu raised his chin slightly, and only half of his bald head could be seen.

"No. 5888, 160 million Hong Kong dollars once!"

"162 million." The number 4369 plate on the left front followed suit.

Once the price started to soar, the auction went very fast. In just 2 minutes, the price of the rubble soared from 150 million to 175 million. When this price was called, the auction site was completely silent, and Du Ziyu received a message on his mobile phone.

Transfer RMB 6940 to your savings card account ending in 1000000, and the current balance is 2019000.

"180 million." Du Ziyu raised his sign again.

"No. 3389, 180 million Hong Kong dollars once!"

"No. 3389, 180 million Hong Kong dollars twice!"

"No. 3389, 180 million Hong Kong dollars..."

"200 million!"

Du Ziyu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately turned to the position holding up the number plate—it turned out to be a dark horse from the phone commissioning seat.

"200 million..." Du Ziyu frowned, this price has already exceeded his bottom line, and such a high price was thrown all at once, the buyer seemed determined to win, Li Wu immediately came over to him and asked, "Do you want to increase it?"

Du Ziyu smiled helplessly, and held up a placard: "201 million." Then he looked at the phone entrustment seat, the staff just exchanged a short phone call, and immediately raised the placard: "205 million."

"Fuck!" Li Wu followed up with a curse, and saw Du Ziyu buckle the number plate upside down and raise Erlang's legs, Li Wu was stunned: "That's all?"

"It seems that someone caught our attention earlier than we did," Du Ziyu said, shrugging, and showed Li Wu his text message: "There is no money."

"It's really Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway..." Li Wu complained unhappily, and Du Ziyu patted him: "It's okay, there is still a chance."

"still have a chance?!"

"I'm afraid our hotel will have to stay longer."

"Still living? Until when?"

Du Ziyu looked thoughtfully at the transaction price of 205 million Hong Kong dollars on the big screen: "Live in this buyer."

The place where the three stayed was the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, which is close to Victoria Harbour. The design of the curved floor-to-ceiling windows in the suite provides a panoramic view of the 360-degree sea view.Du Ziyu just took a bath, wearing silk pajamas loosely on his body, leaning against the window and quietly watching the night scene, with neon lights flashing far and near, it is truly a city that never sleeps.

He was gently twisting the Mo Cui Pixiu in his hand, and behind him came the sound of Shen Shi coming out of the bathroom. Hearing the sound of this man's footsteps getting closer and closer until his breath touched the back of his neck, Du Ziyu let go of his strength and stepped back. Leaning in, I immediately fell into a warm embrace.

Shen Shi brought a moist and refreshing smell, which seemed to temporarily dispel the haze of his auction failure. Du Ziyu grabbed Shen Shi's thick palm, intertwined with his fingers, and gently rubbed the fake finger on Shen Shi's thumb.

"Do you know what the fingers were used for in ancient times?" Du Ziyu's tone was very gentle, and his eyes seemed to be traced through the fingers: "It's the archers who protect their fingers when they pull the strings. Our Du family's incense is not prosperous. The old man told me Take this to ward off evil spirits."

Shen Shi frowned, looked down at the wrench in his hand, it looked pure and smooth after being manipulated by the third sister of the Du family, and it was indistinguishable from the previous one with the naked eye: "This one, it doesn't work. "

"Nonsense, what's the use of fakes?" Du Ziyu laughed at Shen Shi and said stupid things, his eyes traced the fake fingers over and over again: "The real ones may not work well, but the Du family's incense still made me lose money... ..." As he spoke, he grabbed Shen Shi's hand, and Du Ziyu turned around and raised his eyebrows: "So, you don't have to blame yourself too much for losing your finger, just be obedient and make up for me in the future."

"I know, to ward off evil spirits, I can do it too." Shen Shi still maintained the posture of embracing him, the two of them faced each other, their movements were very ambiguous, just saying such stupid things out of their mouths really spoiled the scenery.

"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be stupid with me?"

"You guys like to talk around corners..." Shen Shi frowned, not knowing how to answer.

"Forget it," Du Ziyu sighed, and changed the subject: "You look quite knowledgeable today? Are you very knowledgeable about jadeite?"

Shen Shi shook his head and remained silent for a while, as if he was struggling with how to express it. After a while, he replied: "It's just a feeling. A good stone, when you get close, you can feel it." He paused, as if he was Thinking about the words, he touched the false finger with his finger: "I don't like it." Then he tapped the Mo Cui Pixiu on Du Ziyu's chest: "I like it."

"like?"

If it were someone else who said such nonsense in front of him, Du Ziyu would definitely think that this person was mentally ill, but on Shen Shi, Du Ziyu hesitated, after all, this person is indeed discerning, and he himself came back from Ruili. There is a problem with the eyes.

"Shen Shi, you are such a weird person." Du Ziyu sighed and concluded after recalling the series of strange things he had encountered since he met this man.

Many times, whenever he wanted to explain everything that happened to Shen Shi with scientific words such as "acting" and "deception", this person would throw out another clue, break his original logic, and even seduce himself To believe, those absurd paradoxes.

Maybe people who are gifted in one way or another are weird and not quite normal like him?Du Ziyu tried to convince himself of this far-fetched explanation.

"Weird, isn't it good?" Shen Shi listened to him quietly, and slowly tightened his arms so that the two of them could stick together. Du Ziyu's hair was still slightly wet, Shen Shi stretched out his hand to straighten it, and then slowly lowered his head , the forehead touched him, as if to show intimacy, they rubbed together.

Du Ziyu was stunned for a moment, watching this kid close his eyes, almost pious, his head was a little dizzy, subconsciously reached out to support Shen Shi's face, the familiar smell permeated, Du Ziyu sighed softly : "It's not bad, it's just that it's hard for people to trust you."

People can't tell whether you are really a genius at appraising treasures, or you are too good at acting.

"Do you trust me?" Shen Shi opened his eyes and fixed his gaze on him.

Du Ziyu was at a loss for words for a while, in this world, who can trust whom?Looking at the boy's expectant eyes, a smile slowly appeared on Du Ziyu's face, and he stroked his easy-to-touch face with his palm: "If I don't believe it, do you still like me?"

"I like it." This answer without thinking is almost the speed of answering.

"Hehe..." Du Ziyu laughed out loud, and lightly patted Shen Shi's face: "Maybe I'm a weirdo too... Okay, go to bed early." Saying this, he left Shen Shi's embrace, Lifted a corner of the quilt and lay down on the bed: "We still have a place to go tomorrow."

Shen Shi stood there in a daze. Before he could finish digesting those words just now, the speaker left him... He looked at Du Ziyu's back in puzzlement, eager to follow his train of thought: "Where are you going?"

"Macau," Du Ziyu changed into a comfortable position and closed his eyes: "The Venetian."

-

It was drizzling early the next morning, but this did not affect Du Ziyu's interest in taking a big gamble. The three of them boarded the boat from the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal, and arrived at the Venetian more than an hour later. Instead of being sent back to the room, guests can directly dine, exercise, relax, shop in the resort, and of course the most important thing is to gamble.

Walking along the artificially imitated "Grand Canal", you can really walk on the streets of Venice, the water city. Gondolas full of tourists pass by slowly on the canal, and the artificial blue sky and white clouds above the dome make this place incarnate. For the city that never sleeps.Li Wu sincerely sighed: "Shanwang people Dingshui Wangcai, look at the people in Hong Kong and Macau, they are more superstitious about Fengshui than our mainlanders! Oh, yes! Ziyu, don't forget to pick your Pixiu."

Macau casinos do not allow gamblers to wear Pixiu, which has long been an unwritten rule.

The three of them filed through the security check. Du Ziyu took off the pixiu and let the security keep it for him. He turned to Li Wu and said, "I don't want to bet big today, I just want to try my luck."

After changing the chips, Li Wu and Du Ziyu played their respective games. Du Ziyu led Shen Shi around, starting with the simplest dice.

"Big or small, just choose one and put it down." Du Ziyu handed Shen Shi a chip.

Shen Shi threw the chips into the circle with small characters without thinking. Du Ziyu stretched out his hand and casually threw the chips into the circle with big characters. Waiting for the croupier to shake the dice, Du Ziyu's eyes were fixed on the black dice cup, and there was no vision in front of him. Seeing the scene of the dice shaking through the plastic, Du Ziyu laughed at himself naively, and relaxed his eyes. At this time, the dice cup opened, one, two, three, and six o'clock.Du Ziyu shrugged, and Shen Shi immediately won back 2 chips.

Maybe my eyes only work when looking at Maoshi?Du Ziyu glanced at the blackjack table next to him. The poker cards were also in good order, and the suits inside could not be seen at all.

"Again?" Du Ziyu turned to Shen Shi with a smile, and bet again.

Shen Shi suddenly stretched out his hand to move his chip to the small side, and then put all his two chips in. Du Ziyu was amused, and when the dice were rolled, it was still small.

After winning 6 chips, Du Ziyu asked, "Are you still playing?"

Shen Shi shook his head, grabbed the chips in his hand, only stared at the dice cup, and did not place a bet.In this dice game, three sixes, big and small take all, and the banker wins.

The players suddenly sighed, Du Ziyu looked at Shen Shi with great interest, and suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered: "Are you also relying on feeling?"

Seeing Shen Shi nodding, Du Ziyu simply tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Let's go, play with someone with higher odds."
