Chapter 22: Auction
So the next day when I woke up early in the morning, I was surprised to see my second uncle Zhao Bajie and Huang Lao two people are still over there drinking tea, these two people really have perseverance. Surprisingly, they drank tea all night, yellow old man saw me out, after all, is more than a hundred years old, stayed up all night without sleep face is also leaking out fatigue, but he still cupped his fist and said to me: "three two small friends, yellow someone is not too shameful, last night is indeed afraid of yellow retaliation so come this side of the night to sleep over, how is it how, I owe you a favor. "
"And brother Zhao, last night's matter, many thanks." Huang Lao clasped his fist to my second uncle again, this morning's Huang Lao had so much brightness. After saying that he picked up his walking stick and just walked out the door.
I and my second uncle certainly want to send a little, sent to the door when the three of us at the same time stood still, because my second uncle's house is he back to lock the head of the village child after the lightning speed of the cover up, the ground in the yard has not had time to harden the cement, only to see this time on the ground in the yard, but also densely packed all the footprints, that one of the small footprints so that the old man of Huang's face changed again and again, I slept soundly last night surprisingly do not know anything. I don't even know anything.
What are these footprints, who is clear, last night, those yellow skins surrounded the entire courtyard, but did not enter the room. I don't know if they are afraid of the fat man, or they really look at me as the face of the rescuer.
Huang Lao froze for a moment, did not say anything, once again, we cuddled out of the door. I asked Second Uncle, "The yellow skins came last night?"
Second uncle shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows about this? Things that have become essence, I don't know anyway."
My heart is also a burst of fear, this fucking yellow skins is really evil, fortunately I did not catch yellow skins as a child to sell the skin, after dinner, we got the news, the first news is very evil, that is, in addition to the lock head of the village outside of the village, there is a situation of livestock deaths and injuries. Those livestock are dead overnight, and there are two small holes in the neck, the news crazy transmission, associated with yesterday's rumors, we all believe that the old woman appeared in the village entrance is the yellow skin spirit, I am also her life-saving benefactor, otherwise why other villages have gone wrong, only lock head village is fine?
The second news, I do not know whether it is good or bad, that is, the old man left, his machines are all lost in the construction site, he left a message that he does not like to owe people favors, so those things left me, as repayment of last night's blessing of love. That was a few excavator forklifts, in the past in our village, to have a forklift was a very bullish existence, now I suddenly got these, almost like a heavenly fortune.
"I really didn't expect that this Huang Lao would be such a wimp." Fatty laughed.
I nodded, to be honest, according to the original plan we had was that Huang Lao's side would let the Supreme View fall, then we broke the Dead Child Gang, and then use the ground in our hands to enter the Princess Tomb to get the treasure inside, but now Huang Lao had even given up on the plan directly to sneak out of here, and we didn't even know how to proceed for a while.
Dodging the pursuit can run, but can fleeing avoid the pursuit of the demon? I couldn't even think straight for a moment. In my heart, I also didn't know if something would happen to Huang Lao or not as well.
After dinner, the former owner of the brick kiln in our village found me, said he was willing to buy away those machines left by the old man Huang, those are to do engineering, put in my hands useless, not as good as for cash is not it? My second uncle directly rejected them, said he himself later to use, asked me how much I want, which makes me very difficult to do, originally my idea of how these machines do not sell a million or eight hundred thousand? This money may not be money for Huang Lao, but for my family is really a fortune, see I do not say anything, Zhao Bajie directly opened a check to me, said: "big nephew, pro brother clear accounts, how can I not let you suffer."
I took the check, legs are a little shivering, can be said that this life have not seen so much money, surprisingly a million whole, my old dad let me return to my second uncle, but Zhao Bashi said: "Take it, as a big nephew's pocket money."
–I don't know, but at least it's a good thing that I'm here. I don't know, but at least now I don't know what I'm going to do, those yellow skins can't find us if they want to take revenge, my uncle Zhao Bashi is going to deal with the matter of the sand mining license, I'm bored at home, so I went back to Luoyang's store once again. This store I am the nominal boss, came here after I first signed a lot of words, and so busy to go to the bank, is the money transferred to their own cards, from the bank out of the time I feel like I live in a dream, as well.
I'm a millionaire now?
–I spent two days in Luoyang, and then Chen Jiuzi notified me, saying that I should go to an auction, sort of go through the motions, the others in the store are now very respectful of me, only this Chen Jiuzi, especially after I touched her breasts, this girl seems to have a big problem with me.
"I hope Mr. Guo can be a bit psychologically prepared, after all, the people who go over there are all considered to have status and position, don't get stage fright when the time comes, and also, we have a regular clientele in the store, and there are also professional appraisers, going to this auction is only considered to be going through the motions, and you will only be able to spend a maximum of two million dollars this evening." She said to me.
"Also, you'd better have a decent dress, going to this place represents more than your face alone." She said again, and even gave me a despicable look when she finished, making it sound like I was a loser with this outfit, I really wanted to whoop her to death with my money, I'm a millionaire now! Although not much, but this money is the old man picked up!
Chen Jiuzi two although so, and then asked me the size of the afternoon or send me a few sets of suits, I only have a set of formal wear, or in order to go to apply for a job in a small store spent four hundred dollars to customize, a fierce wear this after, feel very uncomfortable, but then look in the mirror after the buddies on the self-absorption of the good clothes I am also a human model of the dog!
Evening soon came, Chen Jiu two drive, there is no one else around, the two of us are considered to participate in such an auction, originally I thought it would be a big scene, with the same auction on TV, lifting the card is very formal, the heart also seeks to Luoyang where there is an auction house, only to find that after arriving, this is just a deserted factory in the countryside of Luoyang, our car parked far away from the place, out of the car after the Chen Jiu two handed me a card, which is a piece of iron, and I was very happy to see you. a card, it was an iron card with the face of a flower girl printed on it.
"What the hell?" I asked.
"Invitation, don't think this place is shabby, Luoyang's antique business, ninety-five percent are relying on those grave robbers to survive, they are the God, this auction tonight, in fact, even if it's that inverted children's family people engaged in, usually we also have business dealings, so we must come to make a contribution." Chen Jiuzi seems to be very clear about this aspect of the matter, explained to me.
I nodded, thought I thought with some celebrities and aristocrats with the auction, the original is to engage in an illegal trading place, this kind of place you let me wear a suit to, head was kicked by a donkey? But I still did not say anything, after all, this is considered public money for their own plus a few lines, to the factory door, there are a few wearing black suits hate other people a glance can see that they are triad people also gave me and Chen Jiuzi two blindfolded, and after pulling a rope, is to send us to the auction house.
I only feel in the dark I seem to be up the stairs and walked a long way, wait until after the arrival of the children there I was removed from the mask, I kind of can't wait to know this my first time to participate in the auction house will be a what scene it.
I adapted to the light, but the next moment I was abashed, because I found myself in a private room, directly across from me sat an old man dressed in a Tang suit, his side of the child stood a few bodyguards, there is a special tea cheongsam woman, looks exceptionally clean.
The old man in front of me, who else would it be if not Huang Lao?
And my side, where are the traces of Chen Jiuzou?
