Chapter 1 Finding Leaks
The hand was cut off, the foot was cut off, the belly was cut open, and the neck was hung on the corner of the table in a terrible posture, with bright red blood traversing the ground...
"Ah!" Gu Yichen woke up from the nightmare.
This is the dream she has repeatedly had every night this month. The fear of death in the dream has been wrapped around her forever, making her tremble involuntarily.
In June 2000, she died in the Unmanned Post in the West City.
Yes, this is her death in her previous life. After being cramped and pulled from her bones, she cut off her neck with an axe. She died terrible!
She felt inexplicably saddened the first witness who found her body and the police officers who cleaned up her.
Will this be scared out of mental illness?
Gu Yichen rubbed his sore forehead and got up from the bed.
Since she was reborn, she has gradually accepted her own incompetent body, such as Xizi, who is often sick. This girl is only 1.5 meters tall, but she is only 18 years old, and she is obviously dysplasia.
But it is indeed stunted, and this family is the poorest family in the slums.
A room was shaking, filled with all the family, old and young, older and younger sisters, the poorer they were, the more they wanted to have children.
The previous generation thought they were stupid birds and could not fly, so they tried their best to give birth to a baby, trying to make them fly and lead the family to a prosperous life.
Haha, it’s really pitiful to entertain yourself.
"One morning, have you gotten up?" My mother, Jiang, is a real peasant woman, with dark and rough hands.
Gu Yichen was brushing his teeth and replied casually, "Get up."
Jiang covered her covertly and stuffed two ten yuan into her hand, "Your elder brother will bring your girlfriend back tomorrow night, so you can use the money to buy a beautiful outfit."
Gu Yichen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react yet, "Brother, shouldn't you buy your wife for him?"
"If you want to go, go."
Gu Yichen was a little confused. What did the eldest brother think about his wife and her buying clothes?
But she really needs money now.
Gu Yichen took the small vault that his mother gave her to not go to the clothing mall, but to return a bus to the antique street.
Perhaps no one knows who Gu Yichen is in this life, but everyone knows Lin Xiangyin.
Of course, now she, Lin Xiangyin, is just a corpse!
Gu Yichen walked into the ancient alley, which is the most prosperous antique trading market in City B. There are countless large and small storefronts, and the rare treasures are also dazzling.
However, the authenticity is mixed.
Gu Yichen buckled his baseball cap, squatted in front of the ancient coin stall on the ground, and tossed and turned around and picked it up.
"Boss, how much does this copper coin cost?" she asked.
The boss was reading the newspaper and glanced at him, "300 yuan."
Gu Yichen picked it up casually again, "What about this one?"
The boss glanced at him and said, "Four hundred yuan."
Gu Yichen asked a few more questions over and over again, "What about these?"
Even if the boss didn't care about this business, he could smell a different smell. He folded the newspapers together, pushed the reading glasses on his face, and said impatiently, "If you don't buy it, you won't ask, just play."
"I want to buy it." Gu Yichen had a baby face. At first glance, he thought it was a twelve or thirteen-year-old elementary school student. She bulged her mouth and picked up another copper coin, "Where is this one?"
The boss was too lazy to deal with her, so he said casually, "I'll give it to you for a hundred yuan, don't bother me."
Gu Yichen shook his head, "I don't have that much money."
"If you don't have money, just play."
Gu Yichen dialed it from it again, and selected a coin that was only the size of his thumb and handed it over, "Boss, this one is cheaper."
The boss looked at the things in her palm. On the copper coins sold by pounds, she probably didn't even have a gram of this one in her hand. Maybe she was annoyed by a little girl, so she blurted out, "I can get it, I'll give it to you for fifty yuan."
Gu Yichen handed over the only twenty dollars in his hand, "I'm just that."
The boss gritted his teeth, "I'm unlucky, I'll give it to you."
Gu Yichen picked a collection store with coins, and the signboard was simply unstoppable: a century-old store.
The shop owner was listening to the little songs in the store, drinking tea, and humming from time to time, making life comfortable and comfortable.
Gu Yichen entered the store, put the copper coins in his hand on the table, and made a straight-forward offer, "Three thousand."
The shop owner was stunned for a moment, put down the teapot in his hand, put on reading glasses, leaned forward and studied it carefully, with a smile on his lips, and said, "Little girl, you really dare to make a quote."
"The boss is also a person who has seen the world. He should understand what I am."
The store owner pretended to be confused with clarity and said with a smile, "Forgive me, I really can't see it."
Gu Yichen understood that this was the boss's trick, but she did not hide it at all, saying, "This is a small money from the early Western Han Dynasty, so it is called Yujia Banliang. Speaking of this half-liang copper coin, it will first go back to the Qin Shihuang period.
During the reign of Qin Shihuang, the country was rich, so even if the price of copper coins was high, it was still more than half a liang, so it was called Qin Banliang. However, when Liu Bang became emperor, the country was very poor. In the early Han Dynasty, the problem of heavy price of Qin coins was difficult to use. Therefore, although the Han Dynasty followed the Qin system and used half a liang coins, it was mostly used as a small half a liang copper coins.
The half-two elm pod is less than one gram and is less than one centimeter in diameter. The Han Dynasty also allowed the people to mint coins privately, causing chaos in the currency system and causing inflation. It was not until Emperor Wu of Han changed the currency system to the first Wuzhu coins, and the official minting of coins was stopped and calmed down.
Although the currency was disordered and the number of scattered numbers was too large, due to the size and weight of half a liang of elm pods, very few were preserved intact, not to mention the copper coins that were so well preserved, with almost no flaws."
The shop owner took a sip of tea and heard it with relish.
Gu Yichen continued, "According to the current market price, the price of this currency is at least 5,000 or more. The boss doesn't have to do anything, and he can earn two or three thousand yuan while sitting. Why not do it?"
The shop owner put down the teapot and clapped his hands, "You little girl have good eyesight. OK, just treat it as making friends, three thousand is only three thousand."
The silver goods are paid.
Gu Yichen carefully stuffed it into his pocket with three thousand cash. He was not in a hurry to go back, but continued to wander around the ancient alley.
People like her who lack capital chain can only get their first pot of gold by random events like picking up bargains.
Of course, finding a bargain doesn’t mean it comes.
Gu Yichen stopped in front of a pile of jade bracelets and jade stalls and looked at these dazzling low-level jadeites. They were not particularly dazzling. Even if the lights shine brightly, they could not reflect the transparent beauty of jadeites.
"The little girl likes you can try it on if you like it." The boss is a middle-aged woman. When she saw a guest coming, she greeted her warmly regardless of the other person's age.
Gu Yichen was picky and choose, as if he was just choosing to play.
The shopkeeper approached and pointed to the jade pendant closest to her and said, "See the bracelets and the pendants to see the color. This is the famous brown and yellow jade, which is as yellow as the golden autumn. You can improve your complexion after wearing it."
Gu Yichen smiled but said nothing. Jade is the type that is too deep. From high to low, green is the most respectable. Red jade is second to red jade, and yellow jade is the second to yellow jade. As for this brown and yellow jade, it is just a low-level and cheap jade that can be seen everywhere.
The store continued to show off her ugly appearance and praised her repeatedly, "Girl, why don't you look at this old ice-type bracelet? I said before that the bracelet looks at the type and the pendant looks at the color. This old ice-type is the most advanced type of jadeite. It has a transparent texture, is watery and shiny texture, which is rare."
Gu Yichen ignored the high-quality imitations she took out, but instead looked straight on the corner, which was obviously the least popular jade pendant.
Seeing that the girl was not in trouble, the store lost her initial enthusiasm and leaned on the chair and continued to knock on the melon seeds, "You can take a look."
"Boss, how do you buy this?" Gu Yichen picked up the dark jade pendant and shook it.
The store spit out the melon seed shells from his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were raised lightly, "Little girl, how much money can you give me?"
Gu Yichen didn't tactfully, so he directly quoted, "two hundred."
The store owner lowered his head and smiled. I don’t know if he was mocking her for the low price or for the short-sightedness of her, and said coldly, “You are here for fun, right?”
Gu Yichen tossed and turned the jade pendant and said to himself, "My deskmate has a piece of jade like this. I think it looks good, and I want to buy one back."
"Miss, I won't bargain for you. Two thousand, two thousand I'll give you it."
"Boss, you see, I'm just a student. Can I get two thousand at one go?"
The store continued to throw melon seeds into its mouth, as if you didn't pay the money and didn't discuss it anymore.
Gu Yichen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give this piece to me too."
The shopkeeper glanced at another piece of black jade that she picked up casually, "This is not possible. No matter how small this is, it is still a piece of jade, and it is three thousand."
This time, Gu Yichen did not bargain anymore, and handed the cash he had just sold the copper coins to the store and put the jade pendant in his pocket.
The owner of the "Centennial Old Store" continued to sing the song, and saw the girl who was returning, she sat up from the chair all at once.
Gu Yichen also made a straight-forward offer, "40,000."
The shop owner took out a magnifying glass and carefully studied the two pieces of jade she sent, with a light corner of his mouth, "Miss, why should I tell me why this thing is worth 40,000?"
Gu Yichen walked to the window with his jade pendant. The sun was shining brightly and he shone in from the windowsill.
In the sunlight where the jade pendant was placed in her hand, the ink-black jade pendant faintly reflected the emerald green light, as if it was a lingering light in the darkness, and the world was transparent.
The shop owner applauded, "Yes, this is Black Cui."
Gu Yichen sat back in his seat and met with his eyes, "There is no loss for the boss for 40,000 yuan."
"Many people mistake black jade for black jade or black jade. Under the light, the color of black jade is too turbid, making people easily fooled by it at first sight. However, in the sun, the pleasant colors that are transmitted out are experts like to use "lovers" to describe this kind of jade, which is mysterious and hazy."
