Chapter 011 Three Trigrams a Day

Huang Dali shouted to the crowd with confidence: "Just wait and see, I have a feeling it must be imperial green! Full green!"

The grandfathers and grandmothers who were watching on the sidelines started discussing excitedly:

"Oh my god, an imperial green that's as big as a football, I can't even imagine how much it would cost!"

"You need an apartment, right?"

"Wow, look at your limited vision, it's not just that! That year when I was shopping in a mall, I saw a piece of imperial green the size of a fingernail. It was so expensive that I couldn't afford it even if I sold myself!"

"If it's really green, it's hard to estimate the price. I think it will have to be put up for auction!"

My colleague held his breath and cut a slice of about one centimeter from the waist of the stone. Only a gray area could be seen in the exposed cross-section of the stone.

"Nothing!" a colleague shouted to Huang Dali.

Huang Dali was not discouraged and shouted to his colleagues: "Cut it again!"

My colleague cut another section, and the cross section was still gray and black. The onlookers lost their excitement and a look of mockery appeared on their faces.

Huang Dali's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He shouted, "Cut again! Cut again!"

Under Huang Dali's command, his colleagues waved the cutting machine again and again, cutting the stone again and again until the stone was completely split in two, but no one could find any color on the stone.

Huang Dali looked at the cut stone, and he didn't know where he got the strength from, but he broke free from Lame Brother's restraints in an instant. He ran to the stone, put his face against the broken surface of the stone, and looked at it again and again in disbelief.

"This is impossible, it can't be like this... There should be a lot of green ones, all introduced by acquaintances, they won't cheat me... Did my stone get swapped..."

Huang Dali was talking incoherently, and he looked a little confused. Xu Lian was so angry when she saw him like this that she rushed up and kicked Huang Dali:

"Wake up, it's already this late, you are still living in a dream, what do you mean by a lot of green? I think you are just a donkey!"

Xu Lian kicked Huang Dali back to reality. Huang Dali woke up as if from a dream. Looking at the mess in front of him, he covered his face and cried loudly: "This is a real stone. I actually spent one million to buy a real stone! I am such a fool! The so-called imperial green and the so-called one-cut-to-richest-man stone are all lies to me. This is just a broken stone that can be seen everywhere! But I... I almost killed my son because of this broken stone. I deserve to die!"

Huang Dali knelt on the ground, walked to Xu Lian on his knees, and slapped himself: "Wife, you are right to hit me, I deserve to die, I deserve to die! I wanted to get rich overnight, but I was cheated. All the results of my struggle for so many years are gone! You deserve to beat me to death!"

After slapping her, he looked at Xu Lian with tears in his eyes: "But, for the sake of our relationship for so many years, for the sake of our children, can you please not leave me? I have lost everything, and only you and the children are left. As long as you stay with me, I will definitely make a comeback!"

Xu Lian put her hands on her hips, looked at Huang Dali expressionlessly, and pointed behind him: "You should still perform your miserable drama in front of the police and see if they will believe it."

It turned out that when Huang Dali said his last words, the police had already arrived at Ci Xin Hall. Seeing the police coming, the crowd of onlookers quickly made way for them. The police walked into the crowd and took Huang Dali away. Xu Lian, as the person who called the police, also got into the police car with her child.

[Fortunately, there is no forgiveness, it is very friendly to my breasts! 】

[This is the routine of gambling dogs. First cry, then make a fuss, then kneel down. If you really forgive him, he will go to gamble again next time.]

[What a pity! Gambling really harms both you and your family. What was once a happy family has now become like this...]

Seeing that the whole family was leaving in the police car, Huang Dali's colleague also picked up the cutting machine and drove away, leaving a pile of dust on the ground.

Fortunately, the onlookers were all enthusiastic people, and the uncles and aunts spontaneously helped to clean up. They swept away the debris on the ground and mopped the floor again. In less than ten minutes, the floor in the store was as clean as new.

The stone that was cut in two lay alone at the door. No one wanted to touch it, as if they were afraid of being tainted with bad luck. Only a strong woman happily picked up the two stones:

"Hey, this stone is perfectly square, perfect for pickling vegetables!"

After seeing Bai Mian accurately predict the fortune in front of them, the uncles and aunts admired Bai Mian so much that they crowded around Bai Mian, vying to have him predict their fortunes.

"Master, can you help me calculate whether my granddaughter can be admitted to the ideal university?"

"Master, when will my son find a partner?"

"Master, do I have a chance of winning the lottery in this lifetime?"

Bai Mian glanced at the time, raised his head and said, "Three is the lucky number. I have already read three hexagrams today. It's time to get off work in the store. Everyone, please go back. If you want to read your fortune, please come early tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the uncles and aunts immediately showed disappointment on their faces and scattered like birds and beasts. Some of them felt embarrassed to stand in the store for so long and watch the hustle and bustle, so they planned to buy some medicine before leaving. Weng Xuhua told them that they should not take medicine without any illness, so they decided to buy some heat-clearing and summer-relief soup to take home. After all, this thing is refreshing and can reduce internal heat, and there is no harm in drinking it. It is just suitable for the hot weather now.

Gao Jin leaned his head against the door, looking at the direction the police car left, and said with endless sighs: "It's great that the child was found so quickly after he went missing, and he came back safely. It's great, little disciple, you saved a family. If we could have met you when we were young, how great it would have been..."

Weng Xuhua seemed to be moved when he heard this. He turned around and picked up the medicine in an orderly manner in front of the medicine cabinet, not letting anyone see his expression.

"When you were young?" Bai Mian asked back. He thought Gao Jin would continue talking, but unexpectedly Gao Jin stopped talking and his eyes turned red.

Lame Brother hurriedly pulled Bai Mian aside and said to her in a low voice, "Don't ask. It's about their deceased daughter. This has always been a sad thing for the boss and his wife. We usually try not to mention it. It's no wonder they are worried about it. There is still no conclusion to this matter. It's still an unsolved case."

Bai Mian thought thoughtfully: "But if I just keep silent, I'm afraid it will be difficult to help them untie their knots."

"You don't know, this case happened too long ago, it's almost impossible to track it down now," Lame Brother sighed, and suddenly thought of something, he suddenly asked Bai Mian, "Since you have this ability, why don't you take the pulse for the boss and the boss's wife?"

Bai Mian shook his head: "I will only take action if the Master agrees to let me help. If the Master is unwilling, I will not take action privately. After all, abilities cannot be abused. Everyone has a past, and I have no intention of prying into other people's privacy."

Lame brother curled his lips in disdain: "Wow! You are too picky. If it were me, I would just take his pulse in the middle of the night while he is asleep, and I would know everything, right?"

Weng Xuhua cooked a heat-clearing and summer-relief soup in front of the stove. After getting the medicine, those people left one after another. As it was getting dark and there was no one at the door, Weng Xuhua was about to close the door, but at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

The person who came was Xu Lian. She had changed out of her pajamas. Weng Xuhua didn't recognize her at first. Xu Lian ran straight to Bai Mian and grabbed Bai Mian's hand and shook it:

"Master, I am so sorry for you. If it weren't for you, our family would be ruined!"

Gao Jinchen gave her a glass of water and asked her to sit down and talk slowly. Xu Lian sat down panting, drank the glass of water, and then began to tell what happened after she went to the police station.

"The police looked at the chat records between my husband and that old classmate. In the past six months, my husband has bought large and small stones from him, spending nearly three million yuan in total. The police also concluded that this was a gambling scam."

"They tried to contact the old classmate on WeChat, but found that my husband had been blocked. Fortunately, the police located the old classmate's IP address and arrested him in a rental house in Qingshui Town."

"When the police broke into the rental house, they found a room full of people. These people and the old classmate were all part of a fraud gang. Later, the police arrested them and interrogated them one by one. According to the old classmate himself, he started fraud several years ago. As for the big boss and Feng Shui master he introduced to my husband, they were just members of their gang."

"They asked my husband to wait 15 days before cutting the stone because they needed enough time to transfer the funds and launder the money. If my husband really found out after 15 days, then the money would be gone forever."

"Thanks to your guidance, we discovered it early, and the money had not yet been transferred. The police immediately froze all the bank accounts of this gang. After the case is over, the money will be returned in full. Then the workers' wages can be paid as scheduled, and my house can be saved!"

Gao Jin was nervous at first, but he heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the latter part: "Great, it's a blessing in disguise. What are you going to do?"

Xu Lian regained her spirits: "Of course, I have to deal with the current situation first. Huang Dali is a heartless guy. The police said he embezzled public funds and participated in online gambling. He will be sentenced for sure, but I am not sure how many years. I want to divorce him and try my best to fight for his property."

"As for the future, once the storm is over, I will find a good job and never be a housewife again. Only myself can be my best support!"

Several people in the store congratulated Xu Lian in turn and said some encouraging words to her. Xu Lian thanked Bai Mian again and again before leaving. After she left, Weng Xuhua closed the door and the business officially ended for the day.

Bai Mian picked up his phone, ready to end the day's live broadcast, and a barrage of reluctant comments floated across the live broadcast room.

[Sister, are you going to end the broadcast soon? It’s time for dinner, and I’m going to eat it with rice! ]

[Please tell me some more fortunes. I can read them all night long! ]

[Hehe, it looks good, I love it, pretty sister~]

[After watching today's live broadcast, I began to believe that there are really people who can tell fortunes. From now on, if anyone says that my sister is a script, I will beat him up! ]

[Master, do I need to take my pulse? Can I tell fortunes online? I can pay you!]

[I can tell from the first glance that you are not sincere enough, unlike me, who only feels sorry for the Master! I have found the address of Qingshui Town on the map, and it is only a hundred kilometers away from me. I plan to drive there, Master, wait for me! ]

Bai Mian looked at these naughty bullet screens, smiled slightly, and turned off the live broadcast. She took a look at the number of fans of the account, which already had 20,000 fans, and this was only the first day of her live broadcast.

Cripple brother also came over curiously to take a look, he exclaimed: "Oh my, you are going to be famous! You gained 20,000 fans in one day, so won't you have a million fans soon? I heard that there is a guy in town who waves his flower hand every day for several months, but he only has more than a thousand fans!"

"How can they compare with my little apprentice? My little apprentice is a lucky star!" Gao Jin walked over with a smile, "I looked at the account. Many people bought medicine this afternoon. The profit in one day can equal that of three days in normal times. This is all thanks to our little apprentice. I must give him a good meal tonight!"

"I'm going to buy two fresh pig's trotters and some vegetables... Oh, by the way, the roast chicken at Shilixiang in town is especially delicious. I want to buy one for my little apprentice to try. It's dinner time now, and I don't know if there will be many people lining up..." Gao Jin talked on and on, and left with his shopping bag. It was time for Lame Brother to get off work, so he went out with Gao Jin.

The dusk light shone into the store, and the store was filled with a bitter aroma mixed with Chinese herbs. Weng Xuhua suddenly looked at Bai Mian solemnly and said, "I have something to tell you."

"you--"

"Not human, right?"
