Nocturnal

Ever since Yang Ke moved his family to Badaoling, Qin Mochi has come here almost every month or two.However, it was the first time to walk the dirt road behind the mountain.Before going out, Qin Mochi deliberately searched for a detailed map of Badaoling on the Internet. Even so, he took a wrong turn on the way and drove a long way along a dirt road full of winter jasmine flowers, only to find out when he was blocked by an abandoned breeding farm. It went astray.After such a toss, when they arrived at Yangjiazhuang, it was almost lunch time.

Qin Mochi called before leaving, and the manager was already waiting for him. As soon as he arrived, he led him directly to the basement, pointed to a pile of large and small stones in the corner and said, "Brother Yang said, these are all, let you Pick it yourself." A price tag has already been pasted on each stone, and he will only be responsible for collecting money according to the price tag.

Qin Mochi nodded with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

The manager brought tea and politely withdrew.

Qin Mochi drank a cup of tea, found a small bench from the corner of the room, and sat down to pick out the treasures.

Yang Ke's basement, Qin Mochi, has been here before. Apart from piled up some sundries, there is also a set of stone-breaking equipment.Yang Ke has a wide range of interests, and likes to get involved in everything, but he has no persistence.When this set of equipment was brought back, Qin Mochi used it more times than him.Of course, it doesn't rule out that Yang Ke found that he was not as good as others, so he was afraid of ruining things, so he simply pushed the work that he should have done to Qin Mochi.

Li Yedu wandered around the basement, looking for a place to sit down and yawn out of boredom.If it wasn't for Qin Mochi's safety, he really wanted to go outside.Spring is here, the land on the farm has started to be sown, and there is vitality everywhere. In Li Yedu's opinion, going anywhere is more pleasant than staying in the basement and looking at the stones.

But Qin Mochi obviously didn't see it that way. He sat on a small bench, lifted up the rough stones one by one and looked at them carefully in front of the light, as if looking at some rare treasures.Li Yedu glanced at the bulging stone in his hand disinterestedly, and suddenly let out a cry.

Qin Mochi smiled and said, "What? You saw it too?"

Li Yedu's expression was a little uncertain, "I didn't see it, I just felt that it was different from the stone next to it. What did you see?"

Qin Mochi hooked his fingers, called him to his side, and said in a low voice, "My eyes are different from others. I can see the texture structure inside the stone."

Li Yedu looked at his mysterious look with amused expression, "It's not very difficult to use the spiritual power in the dantian to explore the internal structure of the stone. What's the fuss?"

Qin Mochi shook his head, "It's not what you said, it's the eyes." He blinked and motioned him to look at his pair of beautiful eyes with unknown properties, "The ability of the eyes. You can see directly without using spiritual power. "

Li Yedu was a little surprised. If he only used his own spiritual power, even a monk at the Qi training level could do it.And directly with the eyes, this function is a bit unclear.Is it because the demon pill is hidden in his body, and the source of the ability is the path of demon cultivators, so it is different from what he understands?

"It's just a piece of bean green seed, and the water head is not good." Qin Mochi put the stone aside with some regret.

Li Yedu noticed that there was a watermelon-sized stone beside his feet, which he probably picked out on purpose.He kicked it lightly with his toe, "This... is good?"

"Hush," Qin Mochi hurriedly signaled him to whisper, but his eyes blinked, turning purple with excitement, "There is a piece of black emerald hidden in this piece, which is rare."

Li Yedu laughed.He could also feel that this stone was different from the one Qin Mochi was holding, but he was not sure how to judge whether it was good or bad.

Qin Mochi rummaged through the pile of stones with his head down, picked out five rough stones, put them in a cart and pushed them out.These few stones are not big, the largest one is less than half a cubic meter, but the color is quite good.Especially the piece of black emerald that was picked out first is very rare because it is close to glass species and has sufficient water head.Burmese people call black jadeite "the shadow of a lover", and it has become quite popular in the jadeite market in recent years.Although Qin Mochi prefers diamonds and colored gems, the high-quality emeralds are also very exciting.High-quality raw materials, the designer can refuse it.

Qin Mochi was in a good mood, secretly thinking that when Yang Ke came back, he would definitely treat him to a big meal.

The steward was waiting for him in the living room, and when he saw them coming out, a smile appeared on his face, "Have you chosen?"

Qin Mochi smiled and nodded, "That's all."

The steward calculated the total price of several stones, and Qin Mochi used his mobile phone to transfer the money. A few minutes later, the steward's mobile phone sent a text message to remind him that the money had arrived.

The transaction was successful, and both parties smiled.The manager had worked with Yang Ke for a long time, and knew that Qin Mochi had a good personal relationship with his boss, so he didn't put on airs in front of him, and offered to help him deliver his things to the parking lot, and moved them into the trunk one by one.They also sent over a few boxes of local eggs, bacon and fresh vegetables from the farm.These are the specialties of Yangjiazhuang, and Qin Mochi has become a habit of taking some away every time he comes over.Yang Ke doesn't do business in agricultural products, and the things produced by his own farm are not only eaten by himself, but also given to the company's employees as benefits.In the past two years, some people have suggested to him to set up a food processing factory or to do fruit export business, but they were rejected because Yang Ke thought it was troublesome.His main interest is in jewelry and jade.

While moving things, Qin Mochi sharp-eyed saw the black cat named Niuniu appearing behind a clump of holly in the corner of the yard.It probably saw Qin Mochi, its fluffy body froze, flicked its tail twice uncomfortably, took two steps forward hesitantly, and meowed in Qin Mochi's direction like a test .

Qin Mochi couldn't help but be amused. This little guy's attitude changes every time he sees him. Last time he was so frightened that he trembled all over, but this time he actually started trying to get close to him. What is he trying to do?

Or, does it also consider them "siblings"? !

Qin Mochi was so embarrassed by this idea, he had nothing to say to Li Yedu and said, "The last time I came to look for Yang Ke, this little guy ran away when he saw me, and shook into a ball if he couldn't escape."

Li Yedu smiled and said: "At that time, the monster power in your body was completely released, and the coercion was too heavy for small animals. Its intelligence is not yet developed, but it is the nature of animals to seek good fortune and avoid evil."

Qin Mochi himself couldn't detect the aura on his body, so he hurriedly asked, "What about now?"

Li Yedu said: "Now you have established a complete cycle in your meridians, and the fierceness released has been absorbed into your body. It should feel the fluctuation of spiritual power in your body, but it is not as fierce and domineering as before. There is a natural closeness, and it is normal for it to want to get close to you."

Qin Mochi squatted down and clapped his hands at Niu Niu in the distance, "Niu Niu, come here."

Niu Niu hesitated for a moment, then ran over with her little feet bumped, and when she stopped by his hand, she meowed twice very delicately.Qin Mochi picked it up, "Aren't you afraid of me now?"

Niuniu rubbed her head against his palm, like a spoiled child.

One person and one cat were lying crookedly, when they heard the voice of the manager not far away, Qin Mochi raised his head inadvertently, and saw that he was walking out while talking on his mobile phone, his attitude was quite polite, "Yes, from the place where you parked now Turn right, and you will soon see the back door of Yangjiazhuang."

Qin Mochi was surprised, Yang Ke was not at home, so there are so many guests?

The manager hung up the phone, smiled at him and said, "Mr. Lu from 'Fuyuan Jewelry' also made an appointment to come over to see the stone today. When Brother Yang called them before, they thought the quantity was small and they were not interested in this batch of raw materials. Interested. For some reason today, I suddenly called and said that I would come and have a look.”

Qin Mochi froze for a moment when he heard "Fuyuan Jewelry". Too many things happened during this period, he had already forgotten about Lu Qiming, and he didn't expect to meet him here.There is only one way down the mountain, and there is no detour. It seems that whether he likes it or not, he has to stay and say hello.

Qin Mochi briefly explained Lu Qiming's identity to Li Yedu, but he was a little confused about what Lu Qiming wanted to do.Yang Ke said that this batch of rough stones was paid to him by others, and the total amount was only twenty or so yuan.Although Lu Qiming's position in "Fuyuan" is not low, the purchase of raw materials does not belong to him.You don't come here as a private person, just want to gamble with stones, right?

A black off-road vehicle quickly drove over from the backyard of Yangjiazhuang. Before the car was stable, Qin Mochi saw Lu Qiming behind the driver's seat. The strange thing was that there was a young girl in the car.

Lu Qiming pushed open the car door and opened his arms towards Qin Mochi from a distance, "Long time no see, Tang. Are you okay?"

When Qin Mochi was abroad, Tao Li gave him the foreign name Donny.It was originally called that in order to integrate into the environment at that time as soon as possible, but now except for Lu Qiming, basically no one calls him that anymore.Qin Mochi himself felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.

Li Yedu's face darkened slightly, didn't Qin Mochi say that this person was just an acquaintance?What kind of acquaintances, he wants to hug his little Mo as soon as he comes up, it's like an old lover meeting.Are you so familiar?

Qin Mochi wasn't too pretentious about Lu Qiming's etiquette, he put Niuniu on the ground and let him play by himself.When I got up, I deliberately avoided Lu Qiming's hug, and shook hands with him politely, "Long time no see, Louis. What brought you here?"

"Dear Tang, don't you know why I came here?" Lu Qiming blinked his blue eyes and smiled helplessly, "I called you many times, but you didn't answer. Go to your store I also failed again and again. Last month's 'Fuyuan' new series promotion reception, I originally wanted to invite you to participate... What are you busy with?"

Qin Mochi said in his heart: Busy adapting to being a monster.

"Private matters." Qin Mochi said vaguely, "Are you here today?"

"Actually, I am resting today. I heard that you are coming here, so I came here to join in the fun." Lu Qiming glanced at Li Yedu behind him, "Who is this?"

"My friend Li Yedu, and my former colleague Lu Qiming abroad." Qin Mochi introduced them to each other, and the two men shook hands with their own concerns.At this time, the woman sitting in the passenger seat got out of the car and walked towards them.As she approached, the fragrance of vegetation in the air inexplicably became stronger.

Qin Mochi couldn't help but take a second look.This is a very beautiful woman, tall and slender, with long hair hanging down her back, a face without makeup, and clear eyebrows and eyes.Meeting Qin Mochi's gaze, she nodded slightly, showing a decent smile, "Mr. Qin, hello."

When Qin Mochi heard this title, he was a little suspicious that he had attended his own class - last year, he was invited by his former tutor to go back to his alma mater to teach a few classes.

"you are?"

The young girl smiled and said, "My name is Zhao Qing, and I'm your fan. In fact, we met each other not long ago." She blinked and showed a mischievous smile, "Dongjie Studio, I'm going to apply for a jewelry display model , and you didn’t choose me.”

She was so close that she could smell a strong smell of grass. Qin Mochi thought of the models in the studio that day, and his expression was clear, "So it's you."

The model who was not selected by him because of his good looks.

Seeing him staring at Zhao Qing, Li Yedu felt a little uncomfortable, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, reminding him, "It's getting late."

Qin Mochi nodded at them, "There is still something to do in the store, so I won't waste your time."

Lu Qiming didn't seem to understand his eagerness to leave, and asked with a smile: "How about this batch of rough stones from Lao Yang? Are there any stones you like?"

"I picked two pieces," Qin Mochi replied vaguely, "I'm not really interested in betting on stones."

Lu Qiming smiled clearly, "Yeah, it's hard to determine what's inside just by looking at the outer skin. After all, human eyes can't penetrate these stones." In fact, even instruments can't do it.Otherwise, how could there be such a thing as gambling stones?

Qin Mochi smiled silently, but he was thinking in his heart: Just because you can't see through it doesn't mean others can't see through it either.In fact, brother, my eyes are no longer human eyes.What is the famous line in the cartoon?

You stupid human being.

"Has Mr. Qin finished the selection?" Zhao Qing asked curiously, "I think you must have chosen very well."

"How can there be any certainty about this matter? It depends on luck." Qin Mochi remembered that when he saw her in the studio last time, she was covered by a layer of mist, so he couldn't help but look at her twice more.I don't know if it was because they were standing outside at the moment and the light was very bright, Qin Mochi didn't see anything wrong, but the smell of grass was very strong, exactly the same as the smell he had ever smelled in his memory.

Qin Mochi asked hesitantly, "Your perfume...where did you buy it?"

Zhao Qing smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes, "Does Teacher Qin like it?"

Qin Mochi smiled and remained silent.He remembered seeing it somewhere, as if perfume could also be customized exclusively.It's not appropriate to ask about things for a woman's private use.There was something wrong with this woman to him. The smell on her body and the way she looked at him all conveyed a subtle aura to Qin Mochi - he suspected that this woman was also a demon.

However, this suspicion is not easy to express in person.Qin Mochi planned to ask Li Yedu later to see if he saw anything.He was inexperienced in this area, and the training given to him by the "Special Affairs Section" hadn't talked about how to identify the attributes of monsters.Besides, there is Lu Qiming beside him, this guy should not be a demon.Some things are hard to say too bluntly in front of him.

Qin Mochi said goodbye to them, and as soon as he got in the car, he saw Zhao Qing walking towards him quickly.Seeing her raising her hand to knock on the car window, Qin Mochi thought she had something to say, so he lowered the car window.

Zhao Qing bent down and smiled at him, and said, "There is something I've always wanted to ask Mr. Qin, is it convenient or not?"

Qin Mochi was surprised, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Qing glanced at Li Yedu in the driver's seat, and raised the corners of his mouth, "The elders and your father wanted to introduce us to each other... I don't know what made Teacher Qin dissatisfied?"

Qin Mochi was taken aback. He suddenly realized that the girl's surname was Zhao... She was the Miss Zhao family who had just returned from abroad mentioned by Xia Hong and Xia An? !

But how could Miss Zhao's family be a demon? !

Perhaps Qin Mochi's surprised expression pleased Zhao Qing, she smiled, and raised her chin with a proud expression, "I have always admired Teacher Qin, and what you did made me very sad."

Qin Mochi, "..."

How should he answer?Said that although he also liked soft girls, but this one in front of him is really not his type?

Zhao Qing seemed to be still waiting for an answer.

"Your surname is Zhao?" Li Yedu frowned and looked at this woman, "Is it the Zhao family that does jewelry business in Linhai City?"

Zhao Qing smiled proudly.

"The child of the Zhao family cannot be a demon." Li Yedu raised his eyebrows slightly, and his cold eyes fell on her face, sharp as two knives, "Who the hell are you?!"
