Return to Splendid

Chapter 195 The paperweight fell to the ground

Xing Yi raised his head and laughed: "I bought you a beer to express my apology for not being at home that day. If you go to my place, I won't close the door. You can come and go as you please. Why should I check you?"

Ni Jiyong hummed: "We got a book from you."

"Oh, if you don't mention books, I'm afraid I've forgotten all the things Dad told me. Dad asked me to care about you and asked me if I could see your hobbies. When I saw you holding a book, he said you were driving a car. Reading book, you want me to find out if you really want to learn this. If it is true, then go to a driving school and he will pay for all the tuition."

Ni Jiyong said: "I have said this to my face several times. Who would believe it?"

"This time you said it to my face."

"It doesn't matter who he is in front of, my dad is a tough guy."

"If you don't analyze it, why did you say it in front of me?"

"You don't need to analyze. Those who can't tell are the fools. He said it in front of your face, just throwing the baggage to you, and you will give the money."

"No problem, I will take over this burden, as long as you are willing."

"Is this true?"

"In front of your good friends, if I say nothing, then I will be your grandson."

Ni Jiyong opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Xing Yi. He also took a bottle and touched it. The bottom of the bottle was facing up. He drank most of the bottle in one breath and said, "Do you know why we need to get books?"

Xing Yi drank half the bottle, made a gurgling sound in his throat, burped, and said, "I can't find anything, so let's vent my anger in a book."

"No, no, you are wrong, we want to find your secret in the book."

"The secret in the book?"

Yao Dongdong said: "Educated people will make marks in books. That is the secret. What we are looking for are the marks in the book."

"That's just a reference book, used for building roads, bridges, ditches and culverts. There's nothing secret about it. Besides, you don't need it at all. If you have any questions, just tell me no?"

"Ask you directly? Okay, then I'll ask. It's about strange stones. You found a very valuable stone, right?"

"You went to my place just to look for strange rocks?"

"We are also entrusted by others to use their money to do things for them."

"Can you tell me who this person is?"

"Don't ask any more questions. Back then, you asked someone to post small advertisements everywhere, saying that you wanted a stone with a color like blood to use as a medicine introduction. You didn't hesitate to buy it at a high price. How about it? Did you buy it?"

Xing Yi said: "It's true. After the small advertisement was posted, someone came to contact me and delivered the stone. He asked for 1 yuan and repeatedly negotiated the price. In the end, he agreed to 2000 yuan in advance. After paying 2000 yuan, I took the stone to an old Chinese medicine doctor, but the old Chinese medicine doctor denied that it was not such a stone. I went back to find that person, who had already hid, and a fake stone coaxed me away from [-] yuan."

"Where are the stones?"

"It's a piece of rotten stone. Why should I keep it? I'll throw it into a pit."

"Then you made a mistake."

"What miscalculation did I make?"

"If I were that person, I would come to you, pay you back 2000 yuan, and get the stone back. What should you do if you can't take it out?"

"Then go fish it out in the latrine."

"No, the stone was soaked in the smelly water and broke. I need you to pay for it."

"Just kidding, a rotten rock."

"You said it was a rotten stone, but others thought it was a good stone, worth 1 yuan."

"Someone else? Who would do this?"

"I said, if I were that person, I would do this. Yao Dongdong was the one I asked for. He said it was worth 1 yuan before. If you take out the original thing, I will give you the money immediately."

"Hey, you guys can figure it out."

"Okay, how many people sent the stones? You just named one. There are others."

"Any more?"

"You ask me? Who should I ask, Mountain King Bodhisattva?"

"In addition to the person who made the fake, there is indeed another one, but this one is different."

"Did I bring you rocks too?"

"Not yet, but this man is very capable. He drives a motorcycle and wears a baseball cap. The shape of the hat is a bit weird. This kind of hat is called a baseball cap. There is a big iron box tied to the motorcycle, and you can squat in it. The next person, he doesn't rest for a day, and runs down there as long as it doesn't rain. I don't know if he is the same person who entrusted you."

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and Ni Jiyong quickly said: "No, no, the person looking for us didn't drive a motorcycle."

Yao Dongdong also said: "He drives a car."

They looked at each other when they spoke, but the moment of shock did not escape Xing Yi's eyes.

So Xing Yi said: "He has found the right person when he entrusted you with it. He will never look for stones like me. He is looking for stones to make medicine primers. There must be other uses. Isn't that right?"

"We don't ask these questions. We just know that when we find stones or clues, we go get the money."

"How much did he give you?"

"I just tell you a number, do you believe it?"

"I shouldn't ask this, but I want to say that no matter how much he gives you, I will give it to you as well. Can you help me?"

"Looking for rocks?"

"Yes, in turn, help me get clues about the stone from him."

The two looked at each other.

"This is a bit difficult."

"How about a little extra money?"

"We agree," Ni Jiyong said, "but there is one condition."

"Bargain with me, well, say, for as long as I can do it."

Ni Jiyong: "You said about taking a driving school, we both have to go."

Xing Yi looked at the two of them in turn and said, "No problem, I'll let you get up and take the exam together. But you must pass the exam."

"Didn't you mean using money?"

"I will spend money to enroll you in a preparatory class. You will study for three months. Then, if you pass the school entrance exam, you will enter the formal class. If you fail, you will get your money back and the money will be spent."

"so tough?"

"Why isn't it difficult? Driving is not a half-skilled job. If you don't learn it well, something will happen on the road. What's the point? The school coach will have to take the blame."

Yao Dongdong vowed: "Brother Xing Yi treats us like this. Whatever you ask us to do in the future, we will never have diarrhea."

"Be well prepared and work hard. Hey, don't spread what you said today casually."

"We won't tell anyone, but what about you? Can we guarantee it?"

"I promise!"

"Just make your promise here, and in a while..." Ni Jiyong snorted.

Yao Dongdong laughed silly.

After returning home, Ni Shuzhen asked: "Did you drink beer with Ni Jiyong?" Xing Yi realized the reason why the two guys were snorting and laughing.

Xing Yi told Ni Shuzhen that the two of them were entrusted by someone to trace the traces of chicken blood stone. "It seems that the news that we have the strange stone has been revealed."

"Who else knows that you have a stone in your hand?"

Xing Yi thought for a while and named a list of names: Yang Linxiang, the old carpenter, Yue Xin, uncle Yue Xin, Ni Jiyong, and Yao Dongdong.

"The two people in the back only know now. We can't blame them wrongly. If you want to doubt, the only ones in front of you are the four people in front."

Xing Yi fell into thinking.

Ni Shuzhen added: "Hu Yanli called and told us about the purified water plant in Sangjiazhai."

"When did you call?"

"An hour before you came in."

"Are you specifically talking about this?"

"I told you to send the water to the Chemical Industry Department for testing. Chen Hongyu confessed how he went to Sangjiazhai and asked you why you didn't ask her to go with you."
