Taboo Master

Chapter 12 Jade Pixiu

I couldn't help being startled, and ran over quickly, only to see that the boss was holding a jade vessel in his hand, and a crack appeared on the back of the jade vessel. He was full of anger and stared at me, as if I had broken the jade vessel.

"Boss, I didn't do this." I hurriedly explained.

"Yesterday I was fine when I left. You were the only one here. Who were you? It must have been you who wanted to move the money in my drawer while I was away, so you accidentally broke my precious jade. Do you know this jade?" How much is it worth? Let me tell you, even if you work for me for a year, it’s not enough to pay me!”

Facing the roar of the boss, I gradually calmed down, pointed to the drawer and said: "Boss, please see clearly, this drawer has been locked all the time, and the key is in your hand. Let alone I can't open the drawer at all, even if It can be opened, and there is only a hundred or ten yuan in change. You don’t think your family’s money is US dollars, and one dollar can be worth several dollars, right? I’m working here, and it will be a full month in a few days. It’s a good salary. If you don’t take it, how much change do I need from you?”

The boss was stunned, looked at me speechless for a moment, just looked down at the jade again, suddenly became annoyed, and shouted: "Even if it's not stealing money, it's stealing my jade, if it's not broken, if you get it, you would have already Run away, stay here now, isn't it still to cheat my salary? Tell you, you are fired!"

I couldn't help but bump into it, you old bastard, in order to help you get rid of the demons in your house, I worked and paid for it. I didn't sleep all day and I was almost strangled to death by a ghost. What happened to me?
"Okay, if you fire me, fire me, and give me my salary!" I put my hand under the boss's nose, but he snorted coldly: "It's good that I didn't ask you to pay for my jade, and you dare to ask me for salary? Tell me about how much work you did and how much food you ate when you were here with me for a month? You have nothing to do all day long, either reading pictures or writing, and you think my place is a self-study room? Hurry up and grab your things and get out of here !"

I was also annoyed, and pointed at the empty tea room and shouted: "You asked me to work? This tea room is run by you in such a way, and two customers can't come in a day, what can I do? Did you ask me to come in from early morning Mopping the floor all night?"

The boss was at a loss for words, but turned into anger from embarrassment, and waved his hands again and again: "I don't have time to talk to you, just disappear to me immediately! I want money, but I don't have any!"

My teeth itched in anger, and I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, since this is the case, it's not my fault."

I must have looked very scary. The boss was startled, and bared his teeth and claws: "What do you want to do? Tell you, don't say you are a child, no one in this county dares to fight against me!"

He finally showed his true colors, and I couldn't help but smile contemptuously: "That's right, no "person" dares to fight against you, so you can just ask for luck."

I turned around and walked to the back room, simply packed up my luggage, and walked out angrily. When I passed by the boss, I remembered something and said to him: "One month's salary is worth a piece of broken jade, and this jade brave belongs to me."

The boss raised his neck: "It's mine if it's broken. Your 800 yuan is just a fine, not compensation."

Let me go, I have seen unreasonable ones, I have never seen such unreasonable ones, and I did not want to be outdone and said: "Don't think that I am a student who is easy to bully, tell you, your set of tricks, the water from the day before Don’t think that I don’t know about reboiling the tea and adulterating the good tea, no one comes to your shop, if I tell you, believe it or not, you will have to close the shop within a month?”

My words have been borne in my heart for a month, and now I said it out, the boss was stunned, he didn't expect that I would see his actions and feet in the back hall, he couldn't help being discouraged, and stared I glanced at him several times, but I didn't flinch, and stared at him fiercely. Finally, he was still guilty, stuffed the cracked jade into my hand, and waved again and again: "Let's go, go, don't let me go!" see you again"

I held back my breath, strode out of the tea room, stood outside the door and took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, but tears were already rolling in my eyes, if I hadn't meddled in this nosy business, I would have survived these two days in peace, Take the money and leave, once everything is settled, how can there be such extraneous things?
Alas, pity my hard work for nearly a month, it just went to waste
I looked down at the broken jade brave in my hand, vaguely, it seemed to be somewhat similar to the monster I saw last night, which also confirmed my thoughts, that monster should be this jade brave.

Perhaps, this is the only consolation. It would be worth it if I could exchange the several hundred yuan salary for this mysterious jade article. I just don’t know, can the broken jade Pixiu be restored to its original state?

Under the sun, I carefully looked at the jade brave in my hand, walked forward slowly, looked at it, but felt that the image of the monster and this brave yesterday was a bit different, but yesterday was dark after all, so I didn’t see it too clearly , for a while, I can't confirm it.

I was watching it intently, when suddenly, the jade brave shone with colorful light, and under the sunlight, it became dazzling.

I was extremely surprised, but before I had time to take a closer look, a person ran up from behind and snatched the jade brave from my hand. I had quick eyesight and quick hands, and as soon as I held it in my hand, I turned around and saw that it was the owner of the teahouse.

"Give me the jade." He looked flustered, like a miser who lost his treasure, staring at the jade brave with wide eyes.

"Hmph, this is mine. If you want to take it back, there's no way!" I clenched my hands and took two steps back defensively.

"This is mine. I bought it at an antique market at a high price. When did it become yours? You stole something!" He pointed at me and shouted.

I'm speechless. I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless people. Everyone said he was a weirdo, and he really was a weirdo. He just blackmailed me for a month's salary with this jade, and he didn't admit it in a blink of an eye. He actually blocked the way robbery?
Seeing his despondent look, I understood a little bit. When the jade brave emitted colorful lights just now, he was probably watching secretly from behind. He probably thought it should be a treasure. With my one-month salary in exchange, he It was a loss, so I couldn't wait to jump out, wanting to snatch it back.

"You figure it out, okay? It's obvious that you reneged on your debts and didn't pay me my wages. You wanted to use this tattered jade as my wages, but now you want to get it back, so give me my wages!"

I didn't show any weakness either, I covered Yu Pixiu tightly and never gave him a chance to strike.

His eyes rolled wildly for a while, as if he was trying to figure out which side would be the best deal, and then he shouted: "You broke my jade, the salary is a fine!"

I sneered and said, "It's really strange. I've only heard about compensation, but never about fines. Do you think I don't understand the law? Who gave you the right to fine? Do you think you belong to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau? Besides, this I didn't break the thing at all, you obviously broke it on purpose and wanted to rely on my salary!"

The quarrel between the two of us became louder and louder, and soon many people gathered around, some passing by, and some businesses and shops in the neighborhood.

Probably this old guy’s behavior has long been despised by others. After I told the story loudly, someone soon yelled: "Old tea waiter, you were also a clerk back then, why would you want to rely on other students' wages?" ?”

"Yeah, you do this kind of thing several times a year, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"He has already suffered retribution. Every day, even a ghost does not come to his door. What kind of teahouse is he still opening? I think he should close the door and go back to his hometown."

There were voices accusing him all around, but the old guy still refused to accept it, jumping his feet and scolding: "It's my business, it's none of your business? This is a treasure I bought at a high price, and he broke it. If you don't ask him to pay for it, you guys Pay me?"

Amid the clamor, two men in uniform ran over not far away, yelled and squeezed in from the circle, and immediately stared at the boss.

"What are you doing? Last time you put cockroaches in tea for guests, did you think the fine was light?"

The boss immediately became honest, and said with a smile on his face, "Where is it, it's just a private matter, a private matter."

I saw that there were two people in industrial and commercial uniforms. I couldn't help feeling relieved, pointing to the boss and said: "I am a student in the county high school. I worked for him for a part-time study. I just worked for a month, and he falsely accused me of smashing him." They stole my wages for a month, and now they want to take away the broken jade wares.”

After hearing what I said, one of the older ones immediately pointed at the boss's nose and scolded: "Wang Changgui! You are not young anymore, can you still accumulate some virtue? Is it easy for other students to earn some tuition fees? Your conscience Let the dog eat it all?"

The boss pointed at me unwillingly and said: "It is absolutely true that he broke my jade wares. If he breaks something, he should pay for it. It's not that I'm relying on his money. You businessmen have to be reasonable, right? Besides, this matter It seems that it is not the turn of the industry and commerce to take care of it, right?"

The business man sneered and said, "I've seen a lot of people like you, don't think you're okay with just saying that, show me that jade."

I hesitated for a while, and opened my palm to look, but the jade brave was no longer shining with colorful light, it was still a very ordinary jade.

I hurriedly handed it over, and the uncle of industry and commerce only took a few glances, then pointed at the boss and scolded: "You bastard, what kind of jade is this? I think you bought it from a roadside stall and planned to blackmail people." Right? I bet you, if this thing costs more than ten yuan, I'll pat my ass and leave now!"

The boss was dumbfounded this time, speechless, and the uncle of industry and commerce snorted: "I tell you, today we received a report that you shoddy it as a good one and exchanged it for fake tea. How about it? What do you have to say?" ?”

"I, I." The boss's face turned red and white, and he was speechless. I walked to his side and put my hand under his nose again: "Boss, here is my salary."

Trembling, he took out his wallet from his body, glared at me fiercely and said, "It turns out that you have already reported me, you just wait for me."

He gritted his teeth and counted a few bills and handed them to me. I didn't talk nonsense to him, I grabbed them over, counted them, and it was exactly 800 yuan.

He stretched out his hand and shouted, "Give me back the jade!"

I rolled my eyes and snorted, "I haven't given you the money to buy the battery yesterday, so it's a big debt!"

The business man turned around and glared at the boss: "Let's go, don't stare at them, go and check your shoddy questions now!"

The boss looked at me resentfully, but finally lowered his head and left with the two law enforcement officers of industry and commerce.

I let out a sigh of relief, this is really good and evil pay off, God opened his eyes.I smiled at the onlookers, picked up my luggage again, took my lost wages and the windfall broken jade, and left without looking back.

I want to go home as soon as possible and let Grandpa determine what the monster inside this jade is.
