When you want to buy the same thing, someone next to you tells you, buy whatever you want, I will pay for it, it will definitely be very touching.

Xu Wei was very moved, although he felt that he was actually rich.

But Yuanyuan doesn't know, in Yuanyuan's little logic, father is very busy every day, starting a company to earn money, father doesn't know what to do every day, going shopping, going to school, and sometimes Stay at home all day.

Therefore, the richest person in the family should be father, and father, like her, is supported by father and spends money.

As for Chen Zhibei, he was simply following Yuanyuan's words for fun, but saying these words really made people feel happy.

Naturally, Xu Er didn't want Chen Zhibei to take the money, but he and Chen Zhibei led Yuanyuan and walked over.

Diagonally opposite to the place where several people were shopping, there was a thin, almost skinny man who was selling small things.The man had almost no clothes on, only a piece of cloth wrapped around the important part. He sat on the ground with a piece of yellowed white cloth in front of him. There were some trinkets on it, mostly trinkets related to religious Buddha statues.

What Xu You saw was a string of fist-sized Buddhist beads. Although they were Buddhist beads, they looked like skulls of different shapes.

How should I put it, it's a bit like the thing hanging around the neck of Monk Sha on TV when he first appeared on the stage.

But the one on TV is of course fake, and the one in front of them, although not a real skeleton, doesn't look like an ordinary thing either.

Xu You didn't see it clearly from a distance before, but when he walked in and picked it up, he realized that it was a string of synthetic amber made of resin, and the actual value was only a few tens of dollars at most.

But above it, there is a very strange halo.

How should I put it, it's like the incense burner I bought on the train when I first came to Shanghai, with a light gray halo on the outside and a beautiful light inside, and the light seems to have a shape Same.

A thing that can be used by Baoguang, this is Xu Wei's guess about this thing.

Not only that, but there seems to be a third thing hidden in this fake amber. Xu Er carefully 'looked' with his eyes. Through that layer of amber, there is a layer of paper-like stuff sandwiched inside, every time Xu Wei guessed that the counterfeiters made interlayers in order to protect the contents inside.

"How much is this thing?" Xu You asked habitually in English.

In Mumbai, even Indians may not be able to understand the Hindi you speak, but most people can definitely understand English.

It's like when a Cantonese person meets a Shandong person who goes out to do business, neither of them can speak Mandarin, so they speak English the same.

Not everyone in India can go to school and learn English well for daily conversations.

It's not for pretending, but I really don't understand what the other party is saying.

It is said that there are more than 100 native languages ​​in India.

However, the man who set up the stall obviously didn't speak English, and when he heard Xu Wei speak English, he could only draw pictures with his hands, generally speaking, it was the price.

Xu Wei looked at it for a long time but couldn't understand it, so he took out his wallet, first took out a 50-dollar bill, and handed it to the other party.

The man looked at the banknote in Xu Wei's hand, pointed at the banknote, and then stretched out three fingers.

USD150?

If it weren't for something in it, the ghost would buy it.

Xu Wei handed over another ten-yuan ticket, and looked at it as if he wanted to sell it or not.

Although up to now, Xu Wei still doesn't understand why when buying things in India, it is settled in US dollars instead of rupees.

The man was silent for a moment, did not take the money, pointed at 50 yuan again, and stretched out two fingers.

USD100?

Xu Wei added another $10 note and was about to hand it over when someone suddenly spoke from behind.

"Mr. Xu, you don't need to give him the money, I'll negotiate the price with him." Salit came from behind and said very courteously.

Seeing Salit coming, Xu Er hurriedly made room, pointed to the string of skull prayer beads, "I want the string of prayer beads, it doesn't matter how much it costs."

Salit came to the man and began to speak an Indian language. At first, the man pretended not to understand, but later he didn't know what Salit said, which aroused the man's fear, so he spoke to Sarah in fear. Lite said a few words, and in the end, the two settled for $40.

Xu You happily paid the money, then picked up the string of skull beads, and locked them around Chen Zhibei's neck like a joke.

"looks great."

Chen Zhibei raised his eyebrows, not understanding why Xu Er suddenly became lively, and even joked with himself outside.

But this is also a good thing, Chen Zhibei has always felt that Xu You lived too calmly before, and occasionally some different actions can make him more lively.

When it was Yuanyuan, she clapped her hands happily, "Dad is so pretty."

The world of children is very strange, adults should not take it too seriously.

But when Chen Zhibei went back with such a string of Buddhist beads, the jaws of everyone in the tour group were really shocked.

"I said Beizi, you are 'bow your head and be willing to be a ox', playing for Yuanyuan in Journey to the West."

Seeing Chen Zhibei's outfit, Qu Feng blew a whistle. Naturally, others would not dare to make such a joke, but Qu Feng is different. The serious "three men's irons" are not just for fun.

"kindness."

Chen Zhibei agreed, holding Yuanyuan in his hands, with a calm face, as if doing so was a very normal thing.

It is indeed very normal. Nowadays, the national policy is that the only child is honored. When children are at home, they are still playing like their ancestors. That is nothing but normal.

When you think about it, Chen Zhibei often takes his children to work and cares about his daughter, so it's not surprising.

Instead, I thought in my heart, I didn't expect that the serious and unsmiling face all day long, like a big boss with facial paralysis, is also very approachable in normal times.

When the group returned to the hotel, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and they had been shopping all day. The women sat together very happily, talking about what they bought and how much they spent, and bringing gifts to relatives and friends. What.

The men, on the other hand, were as tired as dead dogs and didn't even want to move.

The three children were also exhausted, and there was no more fuss from the previous day, and they all lay obediently on the side, drowsy.

Xu Wei was very curious about the string of Buddhist beads, but it was not good to study it now. He didn't know how to explain it. He wanted to melt the thing he bought for 40 dollars.

The most important thing is that there is no tool for Xu Erlai to melt away the fake amber on the outside without damaging the inside.

Even those compartments, Xu You didn't want to destroy them.

Xu You, who was so worried and still itchy, sat on the bed with the string of skull prayer beads, pointed the skeletons to the flashlight, and watched them one by one.

This is a habit that Xu You has developed in the past two years. Although his eyes are special, Xu You still wants to try to see if he can discover something based on the knowledge he has learned.

Soon, Xu Wei discovered a problem. There seemed to be patterns on the so-called compartments.

This discovery immediately woke up Xu You's sleepy brain.

"what happened?"

After Chen Zhibei took a shower, he sat next to Xu You wearing a scarf, lowered his upper body, and wrapped Xu You into his arms.

"There is something in it, and it should hide a secret."

Xu You happily held up the beads, picked up the flashlight and pointed it at it, and pointed it to Chen Zhibei.

Chen Zhibei's eyes were very good, and he followed Xu Er's finger, and soon found that there was indeed something inside the brown-yellow amber. It should not be scribbling.

Chen Zhibei thought for a while, then got up, ordered room service, and ordered some tinfoil, an alcohol stove, and a small stainless steel crucible.

Soon, a waiter took what Chen Zhibei asked for, respectfully sent it to the guest room, received Chen Zhibei's tip, and left happily.

Afterwards, Chen Zhibei removed the beads one by one, took two and put them in a stainless steel crucible covered with tinfoil, then turned on the alcohol stove to bake.

Xu Er was very surprised to see Chen Zhibei burning amber proficiently, but thinking that the other party had been a special soldier before, he had a wide range of knowledge, and it was natural to know many things.

When the amber melted, the compartment inside leaked out first. At first Xu You thought it was a kind of paper, but after taking it out, Xu You realized that it had an indescribable texture, like fish skin or something. s things.

"Whale skin."

Chen Zhibei studied for a while and said.

Xu You blinked, looking curiously at the whale skin in her hand.

This leather should have been specially treated, very tough, and some lines were drawn with special dyes, which looked like contour lines on a geography book.

The most amazing thing is not the whale skin, but what is wrapped in the whale skin. It is a red coral skull that is two circles smaller than the low-quality amber skull on the outside.

Then, the two made persistent efforts and melted all 36 skulls.

A total of 36 red coral skull Buddha beads the size of a baby's fist, in a very shocking gesture, once again bloomed its charming brilliance.

"Put it back on."

Chen Zhibei saw it just now, and there are small holes in the top of the beads, which can be re-threaded.

Xu Wei shook her head. This kind of beads used to be a whole string of beads, but now they are opened and put on again, and they need to be put on in a certain order. They must be put on in the same order as before.

Many people don't take this kind of attention for a while now, but Xu Wei has been learning antiques from the very fastidious Mr. Zhang.

Xu Wei felt that it would be better to ask Mr. Zhang to find an eminent monk who has attained the Tao and put it on again after taking it back.

After telling Chen Zhibei what he thought, Chen Zhibei stopped studying the Buddhist beads, but found out all the whale skins, like playing with a jigsaw puzzle, and reassembled the pieces together.

At first Xu Er thought the other party was playing, but after a while, Chen Zhibei assembled 36 pieces of whale skin into a complete map.

"what is this?"

Xu You looked at these assembled whale skins in surprise. Although he had guessed before, he couldn't believe it when the things were really in front of him.

"A map," Chen Zhibei hugged Xu Wei from behind, and whispered in his ear, "a map drawn by the Japanese."
