Chapter 30 (2/2)

What's more, I didn't expect this woman to come up with this idea. She's really a smart woman.

”If you have a chance in the future, you must thank me again!” Said the man.

”No!” Guo Xiang's tone is very light. She doesn't want to have anything to do with these people. She is just an ordinary person and doesn't want to have any contact with these dark forces.

The man was a little surprised. I didn't expect Guo Xiang to have this attitude. Wasn't he very positive when he saved him just now?

In the dark, the man silently watched Guo Xiang make his bed, said ”see you later”, opened the door and went out.

Guo Xiang hurriedly closed the door and was finally relieved. In fact, helping the man was also for self-protection, otherwise she didn't want to meddle. At that time, if she didn't help him, he might have been killed.

So I just had to. I don't want to have anything to do with him in the future.

When they got up the next day, they ate local rice noodles in a nearby snack bar.

Yi Zichen took out a note and asked the shopkeeper, ”boss, how can I get to this place?”

The boss looked at it and said with a strong local accent, ”this place is a little far away. Call a tricycle.”

”Thank you, boss!” Yi Zichen nodded.

”Where are you going?” Guo Xiang couldn't help being curious.

”Find someone who is an old friend of my father. He used to be a professor at the University of Geosciences. Later, he went to the mountains and countryside to southern Yunnan and took root here. He is very familiar with the local situation and knows a lot about jade. This time, he mainly depends on him to take us to that place.” Yi Zichen said in a low voice.

I see. Guo Xiang nodded and she said that such a place should not be easy to go.

After breakfast, I stopped a tricycle outside the door and showed the address to the tricycle master. The master said it was no problem, so he took the three people into the city.

In a roundabout way, he came to a small street. Yi Zichen looked at the address. It should be right here.

He knocked on the door. After a while, he heard someone coming out with slippers.

An old man in his fifties with half white hair was stunned when he saw Guo Xiang, ”are you...”

”Are you uncle Xiao Binglin? I'm Yi Zichen, Yi Su's son. My father should have called you... ”Yi Zichen hurried forward and said.

”It's Zichen. How old are they? I held you when you were a child. ” Xiao Binglin smiled, ”come on, come on, come on in!”

Guo Xiang and Huang Zhengli walked in together.

The yard is not big, but the environment is good. There are some flowers and plants around, stone tables and stools, and a two-story small attic behind it. It looks like a home stay.

In later generations, many such yards have been changed into guest houses.

In fact, it's good to open a home stay here. Guo Xiang thought to himself that he had this idea in his previous life and has not realized it.

”Let's sit outside. The air outside is good!” Xiao Binglin led the three to sit down on the stone stool. ”Wait a minute, I'll make a pot of tea!”

”Uncle Xiao, you're welcome!” Yi Zichen quickly stood up.

”Visitors are guests. You come all the way without a mouthful of tea. This is not the way to treat guests.” Xiao Binglin laughed.

After a while, Xiao Binglin brought out a pot of tea and two dishes of local snacks.

Yi Zichen took out a box of specialty from his bag and handed it to him with both hands. ”I brought it from Shencheng. My father said it was your favorite.”

”Old dragon mouth wine? Sure enough, your father knows me! ” Xiao Binglin smiled and reached for it. ”Come on, sit down and drink tea.”

After a few greetings, Yi Zichen introduced Guo Xiang and Huang Zhengli to Xiao Binglin. He nodded and said, ”your father has told me the purpose of your coming this time. I'll take you this afternoon, but there are good and bad people in that place. You should be careful not to get into trouble.”

”Yes, I hope uncle Xiao can give me more advice!” Yi Zichen nodded again and again, ”and the gambling stone this time...”

”Don't worry about this. I'll try my best to help you, but I'm not completely sure about this kind of thing. You can't blame your uncle Xiao when you look wrong.” Xiao Binglin smiled.

”That's nature!” Yi Zichen nodded, ”we can still buy something with Uncle Xiao. If we go by ourselves, the money we bring may only be wasted.” Yi Zichen said modestly.

The three had lunch at Xiao Binglin's house at noon. In the afternoon, Xiao Binglin took the three to the underground gambling quarry.
