They left the attraction and got on the bus, and the noisy kids and their parents instantly quieted down.
Su Susu had to admit that Jian Yi's method was indeed effective and he subdued all these people.
They were able to have a good rest on their return journey, as they arrived at their original destination without any obstructions.
Before leaving, Yu Li asked the driver, "Uncle driver, we want to go gambling on stones. Could you tell us how to get there?"
"The gambling area is in the south of the city. There are gambling places everywhere. You can just take the bus next to it."
"Thank you, then."
After they got off the bus, they found a restaurant to eat, and then went back to the hotel to rest.
Early the next morning, Yu Li and the others were very excited because they were finally going to gamble on stones.
They packed their luggage and, according to the map, the south of the city was still two hours away by bus.
They planned to stay nearby and come back to take the train home when the time came.
They came to a small town called Jinsha Town in the south of the city, which is the closest place to the gambling stone field.
Jinsha Town is very prosperous, with crowds of people on the streets, and many people are heading to the gambling stone field.
"Wow, it's so lively here, much more lively than the provincial capital." Yu Li exclaimed.
"After all, this town is close to the gambling stone field, so there must be more people coming here to play." Yu Jin analyzed.
Jin Mo looked at the bustling crowd with a serious expression, "There are so many people here, and some of them may have bad intentions. Don't run around casually."
"Don't worry, we are not stupid." Su Susu said.
Seeing that they all understood, Jin Mo didn't say anything more. They put their luggage behind the hotel.
They found a teahouse, went in to have some tea, and then went to the gambling stone field.
The name of this store is very special, it is called "Jinsha Town Yipinzhai". There are three vigorous and powerful ancient Chinese characters written on the wooden sign hanging on the door.
The store was bustling with people. Some of the people were wearing worn-out clothes, and a foul smell of sweat hit us in the face. It seemed that business was booming.
As soon as they sat down, someone came over and greeted them, "Girls, what would you like to drink?"
"Madam, could you please make me a cup of tea?"
"Okay." The proprietress said and turned and left.
Yu Jin looked around the store and said, "This store seems to be really profitable. The proprietress is quite beautiful."
Yu Li nodded in agreement. This place was indeed beautiful. Not only was the interior of the store decorated in an ancient style, but the walls were also covered with various murals.
Yu Li was attracted by the murals on the wall. "I didn't expect there would be someone with superb painting skills in this place. It's amazing. These murals are so lifelike."
The proprietress came over with a teapot. Upon hearing Yu Li's words, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect that little guest could appreciate paintings. These were painted by my ancestors. We don't understand them either, we just think they are beautiful."
Yu Jin also thought the painting was extraordinary and couldn't help asking, "It's really amazing! This ink painting looks much more advanced than the ones sold in our city."
"Haha, when I was a kid, I heard that my ancestor retired from the imperial court. When he had nothing better to do, he loved to paint flowers, plants, fish, and insects. He believed that such paintings could improve health, and his painting skills were superb, which is why he achieved such accomplishments. He also enjoyed collecting calligraphy and paintings, especially famous paintings from the Qing Dynasty. He created many paintings and submitted them to auctions, but in the end, only a few have survived."
The proprietress introduced.
"Oh? Your ancestor was such a remarkable person! Aren't you afraid that it will be destroyed if you don't hang it out like this?" Su Susu asked with interest.
"Don't be afraid. Our store is protected by the local authorities. We have already registered it. If anyone damages it, they will have to pay the price."
The proprietress said confidently that it seemed that she had some background.
They chatted for a while, and then the proprietress brought them tea. "Dear guests, please have some tea."
"Madam, this is our first time here gambling on stones. Are there any rules here?"
Su Susu asked.
The proprietress smiled. "There aren't any rules. If you like a stone or need it cut, just buy it and give it to the stone cutter. The stones here are all numbered, and you can register them."
"Oh, I want to know where you get the best jade cut here?"
"In the central square of the gambling stone area, there are professional stone cutters. However, those who come here to gamble on stones are usually wealthy people or businessmen who spend a lot of money. Are you sure you want to try it? I see that you are still young. If you are just here to observe out of curiosity, it will be fine."
Yu Li smiled and said, "Boss, this is our first time here, so we can go and broaden our horizons. We want to open a jewelry store and are quite interested in jade."
After hearing her words, the proprietress smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I wish you all the best."
"Thank you." Yu Li nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll go get busy first." The proprietress left.
They rested for a while, and Su Susu excitedly proposed.
"So are we going to the gambling stone area now?"
"Well, I want to go and take a look." Yu Li was also eager to try.
Yu Jin nodded, "Okay, let's go."
"I'll give this to you later, take it with you."
Yu Li distributed masks to them and pointed to the people going to the gambling stone field.
The others soon understood, took the bag, and put on masks and walked towards the gambling stone field.
They came to the gambling stone area. There were a lot of people there, and everyone wore hats, scarves, and even masks to cover their faces, for fear of being recognized by others.
It is understandable. After all, everyone is afraid that the goods will be robbed halfway after shipment, which would mean a huge loss of money, so everyone is cautious.
There are indeed a lot of people here, so crowded that it is impossible to squeeze in, but there is a road leading to the gambling stone field.
Yu Jin took a look and said, "Let's take a look around first. After we get to know the details, we'll go there and take a look."
"Why don't we split up?" Yu Li noticed that their presence in a group would be too conspicuous, while those who came here were all alone.
Su Susu and the others also noticed it and agreed, and the eight people just happened to separate into pairs.
They agreed to meet in the central area after the shopping. Yu Li took Jin Mo's hand and walked excitedly in one direction.
This was her second time to come and gamble on stones, but she was full of anticipation. If she could cut out something good, she could awaken Lingling.
Jin Mo looked at her holding his hand tightly, a hint of tenderness between his brows, and let her hold his hand and walk forward.
"Brother Mo, let's walk faster and see how others gamble on stones."
Yu Li said.
"...Okay." Jin Mo nodded and followed her towards another path.
Just as the two of them stepped onto the path, a sharp and piercing female voice suddenly came from the side, "Hey, this is our territory, get out of here!"
