After waiting for a long time, Dai Yao was freed from that kind of dizzy feeling. He rubbed his stomach and suddenly lost his appetite. Looking at the food in the refrigerator, he just feel nauseated.
What’s wrong with him? He was never been so delicate before? Even if it was boiled water or steamed buns, Dai Yao will eat them without blinking. Could it be heatstroke? It was unlikely! Ever since he lost his virginity, his body has been getting worse day by day.
Forget it, see later when he have an appetite!
He went back to his room and took out his schoolbag, and took out a small red sandalwood box. Inside the box was a piece of jade and the deed of his house. The jade was given to him by uncle Li on his eighteenth birthday. He secretly asked the Seventh Blind Man, who said it could be worth tens of thousands. When Uncle Li’s accident first happened, he thought about selling this jade. But that was the only nice memento Uncle Li left for him. All of Uncle Li’s things were gone, all taken away by his creditors. There was only this piece of jade left. If he sells it, what else can prove that he(LM) existed in his(DY) own world?
But now… it was better not to be stubborn. He put the piece of jade in his pocket and decided to go to the Liuheng Pawn Shop at the entrance of the village to pawn the jade. This pawn shop has been open in their area for decades. In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it was called Liuheng Pawn Shop. Now renamed as Liuxiang Pawn Shop. It was said to be the ancestral property of the Shen family, the land Tyrant1Raw 霸(bà); egemon; tyrant; lord; feudal chief; to rule by force; to usurp; (in modern advertising) master at that time. He took the piece of jade and entered the pawn shop.
The pawn shop still uses decorations from the Qing Dynasty to create an antique feel. There was only one pawn shop in Xicheng District, so many people bringing stuff and use it as collateral2Finally author use 抵押 __φ(。。). Especially due to the recent demolition in Xicheng, many gamblers have lost their homes’ demolition money and still cannot plug the holes they lost. So they came to pawn the valuable things at home with a look of despair on their face, as if they had just woken up from a big dream.
Everyone has his own life. If one don’t stumble a few times, one will always competing with fate.
Dai Yao took the jade pendant out of the sandalwood box and handed it to the workers inside. The other party glanced at it with surprise in his eyes. He returned the jade to Dai Yao and said, “Sir, please wait a moment. I really can’t make the decision on this. I’ll call our manager over to take a look.”
Judging from the reaction of the staff, Dai Yao felt that the Seventh Blind Man might not have lied to him, and estimated that the jade was indeed have some value. The Seventh Blind Man was a fortune teller in his village, his name was Dai Jingyun, and he called himself Dai Qigong3Raw 戴七公(dài qī gōng). 戴 is his surname, 七 is 7, I guess might be because he was the 7 child in his family? This 公 have many meaning, one of them is honorable(gentleman). So, he basically calls himself the Seventh Gentleman of Dai ಥ◡ಥ I hope I translate this right in order Orz. He prides himself on being a wise man, but others usually call him a fool.4Okay, so here’s a play words; DJ call himself 侠算( xiá suàn), 侠 means knight-errant; brave and chivalrous; hero; heroic(which can associated with ‘good’), and 算means to figure; to calculate; to compute, so basically these two words means good calculate in fortune teller(google gave me “a wise man”). But other people calls him 瞎算(xiā suàn), 瞎 means blind; groundlessly; foolishly; to no purpose. In short; nonsense. They thought what he said was more nonsense than truth(but there’s a reason). He calculate(in fortune teller) ten times and got it right five times, and it was all trivial matters. He was good at speaking without thinking, yet he was full of knowledge.
People who understand Taoism practice said that the Seventh Blind Man were actually wise and foolish5Raw 大智若愚(Dàzhìruòyú); great intelligence may appear to be stupidity (idiom). Refers to a person with extremely high intelligence who often appears to be stupid on the surface.. Fortune telling was a profession that consumed one’s own merit foundation. When the ancestors’ merits were lost, retribution will come. There was a saying that mysteries of heaven must not be revealed, so even if a fortune teller was really capable, they will usually tell nonsense and in ten words they will only gave one word of the truth. The rest can only be enlighten by oneself.
Yet Dai Yao felt that the Seventh Blind Man were most likely lied, and the books he read were of no use to ordinary people.
After a while, a middle-aged man in a suit walked out of the back hall. The man was about forty or fifty years old. He looked very kind and gave people an inexplicable sense of reliability. The man came up and smiled at Dai Yao and said, “Young gentleman, you6The’ you’ the manager used is the ‘courteous you’, that’s why DY a bit flattered have been waiting for a long time. Please come to the small living room to talk.”
Dai Yao was a little flattered, nodded to the manager, and followed him into the small living room. The manager personally poured the tea for him and said, ” Young gentleman, can you show me the things first?”
Dai Yao said “oh”, he immediately took out the things and handed them to the manager. The manager took the piece of jade and was startled for a moment, then he said, “How much money do you want to pawn, young gentleman?”
Dai Yao really didn’t know the value of this piece of jade. At that time, the Seventh Blind Man told him that it could be worth tens of thousands. Dai Yao thought for a while and said, “Can the manager give me a price?”
The manager smiled, pushed the snack toward Dai Yao, and said, “Well… Look, I’ll make the decision and offer 100,000 yuan, and it’ll be a good deal7Raw 活当(Huó dāng), I can’t find the specific meaning of these two words combine anywhere. But it lit. means live pawn… so, DY can buy back as soon as he got the money. Just like someone borrow a lot money from bank, they must have something precious to give as collateral, until they pay back all they owed only then they can get back their things. I hope I didn’t get you guys more confused with my explanation Orz. When you have money, you can redeem it at any time. But the current period is at least half a year, because we have a private museum, and valuable things like this will be put on display. According to the statutory five percent interest, does young gentleman think it is appropriate?”
Dai Yao was really shocked when he heard the manager announce the amount of money. At that time, the Seventh Blind Man only told him that it was worth at least thirty to fifty thousand, but he didn’t expect that the pawnshop would offer him a high price of one hundred thousand. Dai Yao didn’t understand jade and didn’t know what the value of this piece of jade was. But in his opinion, this piece of jade was flawed and even had a chip off, so how could it be worth one hundred thousand?
He said hesitantly: “The manager is not kidding me, right?”
The manager looked a little panicked, and he asked again: “Young gentleman, do you think it’s too little? How about…adding another 20,000?”
Dai Yao felt that the world was becoming more and more dreamlike. In his previous life, he was so worried about money that he wanted to sell himself. In this life, he just randomly pawn a jade and get 120,000 yuan. If he had known that this piece of jade was so valuable, he would not have been so stubborn in his previous life. 120,000 yuan was enough for him to tide over the difficulties!
Dai Yao immediately waved his hand and said, “No, no, no, that’s okay, that’s okay. Then…that’s all?”
The manager seemed to be relieved and said: “That’s great. Don’t worry, we will keep this jade in a safe place. Our business license is legitimate, and the procedures are in accordance with national regulations. Please rest assured. If you have enough funds after half a year, you can come back at any time with the documents issued by us to get the collateral back. ”
Dai Yao was relatively reassured about this pawnshop because it has been open for decades and has a good reputation surrounding it. A nationwide chain, it can be considered a foolproof one. However, the pawn price was definitely much lower than the market price. But fortunately it can be redeemed, so Dai Yao nodded, went through the pawn procedures with the manager, and soon received 120,000 yuan in cash on his bank card.
Until he got home, Dai Yao still felt that he was dreaming. He pinched his thigh three times in a row. If his thigh wasn’t still aching, he would have thought he was dreaming.
Realizing that he finally had money, Dai Yao jumped up happily. However, it doesn’t matter that he jump, Dai Yao started to feel dizzy again. The churning feeling in his stomach came back again, and it was stronger than before. He held onto the door frame and with a “Blargh” he throw up.
Dai Yao was dumbfounded.
Is……is he getting an upset stomach?
Fortunately, it was only for a while. After vomiting, Dai Yao felt his stomach much more comfortable. Moreover, he was hungry…
Dai Yao didn’t take his little problem to heart. After getting sick, he became more and more delicate. Now that he has money, he plans to go out for a nice meal. It had been a long time since he eat at a restaurant. After vomiting once, he had a good appetite, so Dai Yao decided to eat barbecue. So he went to the ATM at the entrance of the village, took out a thousand yuan, and went to a nearby barbecue restaurant.
Dai Yao was enjoying himself while nibbling on the sizzling and oily barbecue. With money, Uncle Li doesn’t have to worry about subsequent medical treatment. The accountant doesn’t work on weekends, otherwise Dai Yao would want to send the money over now. He missed Uncle Li a little, but Uncle Li had just transferred from the hospital and was undergoing closed treatment. Visitation cannot begin until Monday.
Thinking of Uncle Li, Dai Yao felt like crying a little.
No, what was the use of crying? Can crying make Uncle Li feel better? What you have to do now is to make more money so that Uncle Li can get better treatment. Maybe one day he will get better. One hundred and twenty thousand was only enough for Uncle Li’s medical expenses for more than a year. This was just a drop in the bucket and simply not enough.
How can he earned money? What should he do?
He planned to pay Uncle Li’s recuperation expenses for a year at a time and leave the rest to start a small business. But there wasn’t much left, probably only 30,000 at most. What can be done? With the lessons learned from his previous life, Dai Yao decided to be cautious this time.
After finishing the barbecue, Dai Yao paid the bill and went home. Halfway through, the unbearable feeling of vomiting came back. Moreover he had just eaten barbecue and felt even more nauseated than before.
After vomiting, Dai Yao looked stupefied. He just vomited away the barbecue that cost more than 100 yuan.
Three times in a row, no matter how broad-minded Dai Yao was, he should have also discovered that something was wrong. Why did he vomit? Since the first time with his creditor, there seemed to be something wrong with his body. Had a fever that night and then caught a cold again after the fever subsided. His whole body was sore and weak, and it took him more than a month to recover. Now he started vomiting again for no apparent reason?
A bold idea suddenly came to Dai Yao’s mind, and immediate after he felt that he was crazy. He has known that he was male since he was three years old, and he would not be able to get pregnant no matter what if he has a penis.
You have no idea how much author like to use idioms, you might found 3 to 4 of them in one paragraph. I really dug myself the deepest pit (╥_╥)
