Chapter 8 Feng Shui Treasures

Taking a long-distance boat is a very boring thing, especially when crossing the ocean. It may still feel a little fresh at the beginning, but after a few days, it will make people feel unbearable.

The same is true for Yan Guang and Zhang Xingfeng. At the beginning, they could play chess together, but it didn't take long to take them to the point. After all, chess can't be played every day. The two of them were on ordinary passenger ships, unlike those luxury cruise ships, which had an open-air swimming pool and other entertainment facilities.

There was also a pair of mahjong in Zhang Xingfeng's luggage, but in the entire passenger ship, there was only a yellow man like Yan Guang, who was either black-skinned and white-haired, blue-eyed, red-haired and white-skinned.

In the end, there was no choice but Yan Guang and Zhang Xingfeng had to find two white people they met on the boat, one of whom taught them how to play mahjong in person, and they just played and taught them. By the time these two Americans were about to learn, the passenger ship was about to arrive in Shanghai.

"Thank you." Yan Guang and Zhang Xingfeng touched the wallets that had been bulging a lot, and said to the two Americans with a smile on their faces.

"It should be..." Opposite them were two dejected Americans.

Along the way, Yan Guang and Zhang Xingfeng had won the last dollar of the two Americans. At the same time, Yan Guang also fully experienced what loneliness and failure meant in these two Americans.

"Is this Shanghai?" Yan Guang asked, standing on the deck looking at the city in the distance.

"Yes, Shanghai."

Shanghai, the financial center of the Far East, is also the most prosperous city in the Far East. In this era, Tokyo in Japan could not be compared with Shanghai. However, Shanghai's prosperity poses endless humiliation to the Chinese, which can be seen from the countless concessions and ports of warships with the meter-shaped flags.

"Strange, why does Shanghai seem to be much cooler than in the past?" When the passenger ship first entered the port, Yan Guang felt that the temperature in Shanghai was not as high as he thought. "It is probably because there is no greenhouse effect at this time..." When the passenger ship was docking on the dock, Yan Guang explained to himself.

After getting off the boat and feeling the temperature in Shanghai at this time, Yan Guang felt that if the earth now had the temperature of later generations, the Titanic might not have been hit by the iceberg because he could not find the iceberg at all.

"Brother Yan, let's go." Zhang Xingfengdao, who had already put on a fake braid.

Originally, Zhang Xingfeng was going to go back to his hometown directly, but seeing that Yan Guang didn't know anything, Zhang Xingfeng could only help him do it first. Fortunately, he had graduated at this time and was not in a hurry.

"Okay, I'll come now." Yan Guang followed after a last look at the British ship passing by.

With his suitcases containing banknotes, Yan Guang and Zhang Xingfeng got off the passenger ship together.

After getting off the passenger ship, Yan Guang and Zhang Xingfeng found two rickshaws.

Perhaps he often saw Chinese without braids, so the coachman was not surprised by Yan Guang's short hair, but Yan Guang still consciously put a hat on himself.

"Go to the Datong Hotel." Zhang Xingfeng said the name of the hotel he knew.

"Okay." The coachman pulled Yan Guang and Zhang Xingfeng and ran towards the hotel, and soon arrived at the door of a hotel.

"It's here." After giving the car money to the coachman, Zhang Xingfeng and Yan Guang got out of the car with their luggage. "First set the room down, and then I'll take you to the barber shop to get your hair. You can buy braids at the barber shop. You can wear braids if you shaved your head."

Although shaving your head and buying braids are important, it is impossible to bring big and small bags to shave.

"Miss, please give us two rooms." After walking to the front desk, Yan Guang said to the front desk in his uniform.

"Okay." After registration, the lady at the front desk handed Yan Guang and Zhang Xingfeng two keys. " Rooms 3018 and 3019 on the third floor."

After taking the key, the two waiters came up to help Yan Guang and the others carry their luggage. Of course, the most important thing was that Yan Guang himself took.

"Do you think we'll go to have a meal first, or help you solve the problem of braids?" Looking at Yan Guang lying on the bed, Zhang Xingfeng smiled. The journey was a long time, and to be honest, both of them were very tired.

"Let's get the braid first. After we finish it, we'll go out for a meal." Yan Guang said so, he forced himself to get up. Although he didn't do anything along the way, the long itinerary still made his body feel very tired. When he was lying on the bed just now, Yan Guang even had the idea of ​​not wanting to get up again.

After barely getting up, Yan Guang and Zhang Xingfeng left the hotel together and took a rickshaw to a barber shop.

According to Zhang Xingfeng, many students studying in the United States would buy a fake braid here when they return to China. Of course, some people like Zhang Xingfeng were ready in the United States. However, when they returned to China, Zhang Xingfeng had accompanied his classmates here, so they know more about these things.

"If selling braids is in other provinces, it is definitely a crime of beheading, but this is the British Concession, so even the Qing court has no choice. In addition, the prestige of the imperial court has declined severely in recent years, and Shanghai is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, so over time, officials on Shanghai Road only think that they don't know at all."

As he said that, Zhang Xingfeng said quietly again. "In fact, many people in southern provinces have cut their braids, and the court just turned a blind eye. However, in the north, southwest and northwest, braids are still necessary."

At this time, an employee came to meet. Zhang Xingfeng just said a few words, and the employee took Yan Guang down.

――――――――――

A quarter of an hour later, sitting in a chair, touching the head without a single hair, and looking at the fake braid on his hand, Yan Guang was really mentally ill...

"Forget it, I'm wearing this broken braid at this time, isn't it just to not wear this thing in the future?" After gritting my teeth, Yan Guang still put the braid on his head, but he felt very uncomfortable no matter what. When he looked at the mirror, he felt very awkward, and he didn't even want to take a look at it.

"Oh, it's good to get used to it. When I first came back from the United States, I was not used to wearing braids, but then I got used to it. After all, I have been wearing it for more than ten years..." Zhang Xingfeng was sighing when he said this, but Yan Guang was full of bitterness, because he had never brought this thing in the first twenty years.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner." After straightening the fake braid, Yan Guang took Zhang Xingfeng's hand and walked out of the barber shop.

After the two of them found a restaurant outside for a meal, they returned to the hotel without spending more time outside. After a day off, Zhang Xingfeng said goodbye to Yan Guang and left Shanghai the next day.

Yan Guang exchanged all the more than 60,000 US dollars he carried with him for silver dollars to facilitate what he had to do next, but before that, Yan Guang bought a map of China first.

"You must choose a Feng Shui treasure land..."
