Nocturnal

Qin Mochi asked him, "Where is the blue diamond I asked you to find? Any news?"

Yang Ke looked at him with an expression on his face that was about to vomit blood, "You're talking about colored diamonds, brother! It's not Chinese cabbage, do you think you have them all over the street? You need a chance."

Qin Mochi sighed, "I want the original stone."

"Understood." Yang Ke pointed to the plate, "How about?"

Qin Mochi sat down on the chair, held the small colorful stones in his hands and looked at them for a while, "Yes." The main reason is that the things are rare, and yesterday the lady with the engagement ring made it clear that she likes colored diamonds.There is a yellow diamond in Qin Mochi's safe, but the color is so good, Qin Mochi has always regarded it as the treasure of his store, and he is reluctant to take it out and use it now.

Yang Ke turned around and took out another stone and handed it over, "Come on, show it quickly. I have found several people, but I dare not do anything."

This is a piece of rough jadeite slightly bigger than a fist, and a piece the size of a pigeon egg has been rubbed out on the surface. It is delicate and transparent pink-purple, and the head of water is very full.

Qin Mochi looked at the stone against the light, and asked curiously, "Do you want to keep it for yourself?" Yang Ke rarely buys rough stones, and like Qin Mochi, he prefers gems.

Yang Ke responded, "Use it to coax women."

Qin Mochi was overjoyed, "Have a new love?"

"It's the goal. Do you understand the goal?" Yang Ke looked at him with the eyes of an old senior looking at an ignorant junior, "You can only be called Xinhuan when you get it."

Qin Mochi thought to himself that his goal was quite expensive, and Zi Fei was ready to go first.

Yang Ke pouted at the stone in his hand, "How is it?"

Qin Mochi turned his attention back to the rough stone.Looking at the original stone against the light, Qin Mochi could see the different shades of colors hanging in the stone.Qin Mochi knew from the very beginning that his eyes were different from others'. Perhaps it was God's compensation for his blindness when he was young. He could see more things than others.In good light, he was even able to see the subtle changes in texture inside the gemstone.It is precisely because of his ability to see clearly that Qin Mochi's cutting is so precise and perfect.

"Here," Qin Mochi gestured on the rough stone, "cut from here, and I'll draw it for you."

"Hey," Yang Ke said hurriedly, "I don't dare to give it to others to open your painting, why don't you come?"

Qin Mochi looked at the sky, he came here early in the morning, and it was almost noon here.Originally, he planned to go back after taking his things, but if he helped him resolve the stone, he might not be able to go back today.

"A date with a beautiful woman?"

Qin Mochi thought for a while, then shook his head, "It's okay. Let's go, I'll drive for you." When he went back, he would just sleep on his own bed, and there was no one waiting for him at home. It really didn't make any difference to him if he returned today. .

Yang Ke is in the jewelry business, so he naturally has cutting tools, but they are not commonly used and are usually piled up in the basement.

The black cat named Niu Niu was lying on the carpet in the living room playing with a ball of string. Seeing them walking down the stairs one after the other, she meowed, arched her back and took a step back guardedly. His wide eyes stared nervously at Qin Mochi.

Qin Mochi was puzzled, "What is it doing?"

Yang Ke went over and picked it up, "Niu Niu, this is uncle, Uncle Xiao Xia. He even fed you dried fish."

Qin Mochi, "..." When did he become Uncle Cat?

Yang Ke talked softly to the cat, but Niu Niu was still nervous, especially when Yang Ke walked up to Qin Mochi, Niu Niu buried her head under her paws and her whole body trembled.

Qin Mochi, "..."

Yang Ke suddenly felt distressed, "Qin Mochi, did you abuse our little girl while I was not paying attention? Why are you so scared?"

Qin Mochi was speechless, "Your Niuniu has such an arrogant temper, if I have abused it, it should take advantage of you as a backer to pounce on me and scratch me desperately."

Yang Ke thought for a while, "That's true." Then he felt puzzled, "Then what's going on? Is there something on your body?" Thinking about it, I still can't explain it. Niuniu is so pampered by him. When it smells something it doesn't like, such as the Labrador in the front yard, it will just ignore you arrogantly, and simply scratch its paws when it gets close, instead of trembling in fright.

"Probably I've evolved," Qin Mochi consciously stayed away from them, "It thinks I'm a tiger."

Yang Ke laughed loudly, put Niuniu outside the door, and let him play by himself.

Qin Mochi started to untie this piece of jade after lunch, and didn't fully untie it until after dinner. A piece of violet jadeite the size of a pigeon egg, the color ranges from delicate and soft pink purple to deep blue purple, full of water, and good in appearance.

"Unfortunately, it's a little small." Yang Ke shook his head with some regret, stretched out his hand to remove the gravel from the plate, and marveled again in his heart that someone could divide the stone so accurately.

"You can make a pair of jade pendants or pendants." Qin Mochi stretched out his hand and gestured between pink and purple, "The blue and purple piece is carved into a male style, and the remaining half is carved into a female style." Qin Mochi likes this piece very much Shitou didn't want to take matters into his own hands, so he couldn't hold back, "Forget it, I'll do it for you."

Yang Ke smiled wickedly, "I knew you couldn't help it. In this way, my brother can't take advantage of you. I'll charge you for three of the four colored diamonds, and the small powder will count as the processing fee. How about it?"

"Deal." Qin Mochi smiled and said, "Go back and ask your new lover what style he likes, and I will make the design for you as soon as possible. I will take the stone away."

Yang Ke nodded.

An assistant poked his head from outside the door, "Brother Yang, it's time to eat."

Yang Ke suddenly became excited, "Come on, hurry up, lunch is casual, and we'll wait for the evening meal. There's freshly slaughtered local pork to eat, and I asked them to stew it in a big pot."

Qin Mochi followed him out, and looked at the tableware on the dining table... It really was a huge pot.Qin Mochi was a little suspicious that it was brought out together with the pot, but it smelled very fragrant, not quite the same as the feed from a pig farm.Two of Yang Ke's bodyguards and an assistant were also there, and the five big men were in a state of turmoil. They took a breath when most of the dishes were gone, and began to pour wine and chat while eating.

The assistant said: "Isn't it the Chinese New Year? Not only the village has started to slaughter pigs, but the farm has also slaughtered pigs and sheep today."

Yang Ke showed regret, "Their sheep are quite fat."

Qin Mochi asked curiously, "Isn't the farm owned by the villagers?"

The assistant said: "Badaoling Farm is similar to our Yangjiazhuang. People from outside come to contract the land in the village, but they are more professional than our small village. They not only have pigs and sheep, but also chickens, ducks, geese, and many pigeons. .”

"Wait," Qin Mochi froze for a moment, "You just said... Badaoling Farm?" Isn't this the place that weird old master mentioned yesterday?

Yang Ke smiled and asked him, "Why, do you know each other?"

"I don't know, the owner of the farm is named Rong?" Qin Mochi felt strange in his heart.The old master asked him if he knew Rong Xin from Badaoling Farm...why did he think he would know this person?He had never been to Badaoling Farm, and he had never heard of the name Rong Xin before.

Yang Ke thought for a while, "It seems to be, but this person doesn't have much contact with the villagers, he is quite strange. He is not very old, so he is about the same as you. Not many young people are willing to move to the countryside." Said He then shook his head, "Our small farm is just for fun, and it can't compare with others' scale. One of their farms is larger than our entire area."

Qin Mochi asked again, "Is there anything special about this man?"

Yang Ke asked him back, "Is being handsome enough?"

Qin Mochi, "..."

"Forget it, pretend I didn't ask." Qin Mochi shook his cup, thinking to himself who is Rong Xin?No, who is this old master? How could he listen to what he said, as if he knew he was going to Badaoling? What does "stay out of town" mean?Is it pointing out what bad things will happen to the city?

Qin Mochi couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to think about it. He just felt that there seemed to be a lot of strange things recently.First of all, there is a problem with my body, not only my eyes, but also some changes in my body.He was not a person who particularly liked sports. He would go to the gym regularly just out of health considerations. He also bought a treadmill at home. When the weather was good, he would get up early and go for a run in the community.But recently, he feels that his energy is significantly better than before, and he doesn't feel tired after staying up late drawing pictures. Another obvious change is that his appetite has increased.Just like today, even though Jieshi was really tired all afternoon, he ate four bowls of rice in one go, which was something he had never done before.

Maybe it's not all bad, Qin Mochi comforted himself, thinking about it from a good point of view, maybe it's a second development.He is now 1.8 meters tall, and if he can grow another three to five centimeters, it seems to be a good thing.

When Qin Mochi left Yangjiazhuang the next day, he saw a corner of Badaoling Farm from a distance across a canal.It's really because it's so eye-catching, a large lush forest can be seen from a long distance, almost connected with the original old forest on the mountain, Qin Mochi thinks this is more like artificial forestation than running a farm.

Maybe this Rong Xin is a volunteer for afforestation.

Qin Mochi's car turned its head, turned around the mountain bend, and headed back to the city.

It has been cloudy since the beginning of the morning, with dark clouds hanging over the top of the head, and there is a damp smell in the air, and it may snow later in the evening.I don't know if it's Qin Mochi's illusion, but I always feel that the cloud above Badaoling Farm seems to be thicker than other places.

Qin Mochi yawned and felt that his eyelids were slightly heavy.

From Badaoling back to the urban area, it can take more than an hour if the road conditions are relatively good. This is also the reason why Qin Mochi gets up early: there are fewer cars entering the city at this time.But for those who are not used to waking up early, it is really uncomfortable to get up early once in a while. Qin Mochi only felt that he could not keep his eyes open, and his mind gradually became dizzy.Although there was a sliver of reason in his mind reminding him not to drive like this, and even a faint inexplicable fear in his heart, but for some reason, he just couldn't control his hands and feet.

A piercing sound of brakes sounded very close to him, Qin Mochi couldn't open his eyes, subconsciously he knew that he was in the car at the moment, but he couldn't do it no matter how hard he wanted to step on the brakes.A fine layer of cold sweat oozed from Qin Mochi's forehead, and his panic was like waves chasing after waves on the seashore, gradually pushing his calmness to the brink of collapse.

Suddenly, a soft shout exploded in my mind, "Break!"

Qin Mochi felt that something in his mind shattered with a bang, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a black off-road vehicle clinging to his window passed by with a whine.Qin Mochi braked in a hurry, and the front of the car barely stopped less than one meter away from the guardrail.

Qin Mochi lay on the steering wheel in cold sweat, almost collapsed.

The sky seemed to be brighter than before, and the sticky and heavy feeling in the air had disappeared.There were vehicles passing by, but no one paid him much attention.Qin Mochi didn't know who yelled that just now, but he can be sure that it was definitely not his hallucination.
