Volume II: The Fairway, Chapter 11: The Gift
"If you can't afford to play, don't play, why are you so cheap? Before Xu Wenxuan could speak, Sun Miao's voice rang out, and then he raised a sign.
"You, you...... If you hadn't made trouble just now, I'd have me. Li Xiaoxiao's originally handsome face was bruised, and he wanted to rush over and beat someone, it was the young man in front of him who made trouble, two things that could have been won at two-thirds of the price, but they both increased the price by one-third, and finally his father wanted this, what he was bound to get, but the price suddenly rose a little unacceptable. If not, this Xu Wenxuan and his followers.
Unexpectedly, the price was now double his original estimate. People are like this, when they feel that the fault lies with someone else, all the fault lies with that person, and as for the facts, who cares?
Thinking of this, he kicked the table hard, but the tables here were connected in a row, and the force of his kick was so strong that he kicked the tables in this row into a bulge, but he didn't fall down.
Not far behind him, he immediately walked over, very skillfully carrying a ledger and writing something like a ticket in front of him.
"Damn it. Li Xiaoxiao said viciously, raised the sign, even if he used his private money, he would be stumbling to the end.
"Little brat. Xu Wenxuan pursed his lips, as if he was saying something to him, and his voice was so loud that everyone around him could hear it.
The people around them all look like they're watching a good show, anyway, they're all watching the fun, and it's none of their business to make a big fuss. It's also a lot of fun to watch the two of them spend money aggressively, isn't it?
However, this farce finally fell into silence after Sun Miao raised his cards for the last time.
"Seven thousand two hundred gold, the one in the back is seven thousand two hundred gold, is there anything higher? Wow, am I mistaken, nine thousand gold, that's right, nine thousand gold. Paying 9,000 gold to buy such a string of jewelry, it seems that you are really a true fan of Master Carol, is there anything higher, is there any?" As soon as this offer came out, everyone was silent, and spending three times as much money to buy a useless set of jewelry really looked a little cerebral palsy. You know, at such a price, you can buy a good Lingwu.
Li Xiaoxiao also fell into complete silence, staring at the two people in front of him with malice, and several people behind them also looked at each other. Nine thousand gold, nine hundred thousand silver. It's not that he doesn't have it, it's just that it's really impossible to come up with so much now, although his father wants to buy this set of jewelry, but he doesn't give a death order. And the finale of the back is what he wants, if he spends so much money to sell this set of jewelry at this time, then that piece of Maiwu, how can he fight? The reserve price in his heart is 5,000 gold, but he can add so much, Rao is he plans to take out his private family and hand it over, but he can't fill it.
"Look, isn't it. Sun Miao smiled at Xu Wenxuan.
Xu Wenxuan shook off a smile with the expression you teased me: "It's good if you like it." "It's obvious that Sun Miao is completely speechless, this guy has no concept of money at all.
"Let's go?" Sun Miao gestured.
"Let's go, hurry up. When Xu Wenxuan heard this, he immediately stood up and dragged Sun Miao out. Sun Miao definitely offended a lot of people at this auction, and if they go out together, they may be flayed alive.
Sun Miao took out his black gold card, and the guard let him go directly, and by the way, Sun Miao instructed, and a person who had already stood up behind him made a gesture to block.
As a result, when Sun Miao and the two walked to the end of the road, they heard the noise of the person behind them who tried to come out but was stopped.
In fact, Sun Miao doesn't need to show the black gold card, just to be more secure. As an upright auction, if you are robbed of things when you go out, then there is no need to hold this auction in Tianbaolou, it will be embarrassing to say it.
The two of them completely ignored the finale at the back of the auction, there were indeed a lot of good things in the back, such as a pulse martial art, a pill, and so on, but none of these could be the finale. In the end, the finale is still a mysterious thing, and I don't have it in my album, so I'm not interested in it anyway. Fortunately, what I bought is not the finale, otherwise I may not be able to grab it. It's not because I have a lot of money that I can get this set of jewelry, it's just that no one thinks this thing is worth so much money, after all, the money I can use is my brother, and I can't pay for it if I use too much.
Sun Miao returned to his room and found that Xin Sakura was sitting quietly on the bed, frowning slightly.
Xin Ying seemed to hold on until Sun Miao came back, her forehead was dripping with sweat, as if she had just walked back from the rainstorm, she watched quietly, watched Sun Miao open the door, walked in, and then stood in front of the large pile of packages, waving her hand.
Well, it seemed like a wave of her hand, and everything disappeared from her sight.
Xin Sakura suddenly had a thought about whether she was asleep, shook her head, and opened her eyes, no. Then, he reached out and rubbed his eyes, wiping the beads of sweat off his head. stared at Sun Miao tightly, and finally realized that it didn't seem to be a dream, and opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to ask, but didn't dare.
"You take it off, well, it's good to hold on for two hours. After Sun Miao packed up his things, he turned his head to look at her.
"Hmm, didn't Miao-kun say twenty-four hours?" Shin Sakura tilted her head slightly and said strangely.
Sun Miao smiled lightly: "That's the final goal, it's not something you have to do now." Those who try to eat fat in one go end up dying. With that, he lifted the girl's arm and opened the lock. The girl's hands are very beautiful, and she has no calluses from long-term training. Sun Miao had seen her practice the knife hard, but there was no trace of a cocoon, which made Sun Miao really curious.
"You go back to your room and have a good rest, I'll leave tomorrow, you follow Brother Zhao to help me bring these two things back and give them to my brother and sister-in-law." Sun Miao pointed to the vase and a large box on the side.
"Won't I sleep here?" said Shinzakura with a puzzled expression.
Sun Miao pursed his lips: "This is my room, your room is next door, I'm almost sleepy." As he spoke, he took out the black flame in his arms, threw a pillow on the ground, and then put the black flame on it.
This little guy is still too small, and if one of them doesn't pay attention, it will be troublesome if he sits on his ass.
Shinzakura seemed to be in a particularly low mood and walked out of the door and back to her room.
Sun Miao put on a "quiet" posture again, and then less than a minute later, You suddenly broke open his eyes, sweating low, and had a fight with the heart cherry just now.
"***, annoyed. Sun Miao couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, then turned around and buried his head under the pillow, forcing himself to close his eyes, even if it was uncomfortable, even if it was fear, even if it was a nightmare, he had to sleep, he had to sleep, he had to solve this problem, and as soon as possible, the only thing he needed to do now was to close his eyes and let himself fall asleep.
Sun Miao slowly adjusted his breathing, relaxed his body, emptied his brain, and didn't think about anything.
Suddenly chaos struck, a chaotic torrent of colors hit and swallowed everything, all the senses seemed to be sharpened countless times at once, this torrent rushed into Sun Miao's body, trying to assimilate everything about him, body, soul, spirit, he must not relax, as long as his heart said a word, it will end like this, then he will be like those beings he has seen, fade, dissipate, melt, and finally become a part of this color torrent, disappear.
What would be the result of that, Sun Miao didn't want to think about it, and he didn't need to think about it. Because for Sun Miao, the most important thing is not himself, and he doesn't care what he does. Pain or sorrow, even hatred or hatred, it doesn't matter, not even yourself, you have something to hold on to even if you sacrifice everything.
How long have you been here? Sun Miao felt all kinds of indescribable discomfort, this feeling is not necessarily pain, if it is just pain, I believe that not only himself, but also those who have seen him must be able to bear it. This is a kind of thing that is difficult to describe, difficult to understand, so that people cannot survive but cannot die.
It sometimes stabs like a blunt knife slowly cutting through your every cell. Sometimes it's like countless pairs of gentle hands, caressing all your skin, and the itchy feeling comes to your heart. Sometimes it's like countless ants or insects and snakes that burrow into your body, wriggling and gnawing at your body. Sometimes like an ice cave, sometimes like a volcano. Sometimes all the sensations are mixed and alternated, there are no regularities, no coincidences, and there are only endless enough to make people insanely uncomfortable.
Are you dreaming? I had to rest, but it felt like I had become a fruit, slowly beating into a pulp in a frantically spinning juicer.
No matter how many times I suggest myself, I am no longer there, I am just in a dream, and nothing will change. As long as you sleep a little deeper, you will immediately fall into this place, no matter how much you wail, pain, beg for mercy, nothing will change, this prison full of malice and disgust.
Countless times I wanted to break free but was suppressed by some kind of force or rule, unable to move, even if I burned everything I had, maybe this was the power of that demon? Because this is something that appeared after signing a contract with him.
How long has it been since I've been back here? Two months? Well, how long has it been since I've been able to get a good night's sleep? It's been a long time. No, I seemed to be asleep that day, and I didn't have nightmares, why? Because I lost such a precious pure color source crystal? Or something else?
"Bang bang, bang bang. The knock on the door woke Sun Miao, and he sat up suddenly, Sun Miao's first time swept every corner of the room, and his fingers crossed every place in a clasp-like empty grip. The knock on the door sounded a few more times, and Sun Miaocai slowly knocked on his head, shook it, and secretly scolded himself for being nervous, before he sat up and shouted loudly at the door: "Get up, who?"
"It's me, and if you don't get up, we'll leave. Xu Wenxuan shouted loudly.
Sun Miao was stunned, and when he looked out the window, the sky was already bright. Sure enough, once you sink into that state, you will completely lose control of the outside world, and you can't even grasp the most basic time. Sun Miao shouted loudly outside: "Wait for me, it'll be fine right away." He wiped his face haphazardly, quickly put on his clothes, lifted the two things on the ground and walked out the door.
"The sun is so big, you can actually sleep, what were you doing last night?" Zhao Hu couldn't help but complain, and tried hard to aim at Sun Miao's room, but as a result, Sun Miao's two exquisite boxes smashed over: "This is for my brother, this is for my sister-in-law, you can't fall." ”
"It's better to say, let's go, the boat is about to leave in half an hour. Xu Wenxuan turned his head and walked out of the corridor, suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked, "Where are your things?"
"Oh, put it all away...... No, there's one more thing. Sun Miao immediately pushed the room open and walked in, almost forgetting Hei Yan, there was one more thing that he almost couldn't remember. Stuffed the black flame into his arms, and immediately followed the team, following a group of ten people out of the city.
Xu Wenxuan looked at Sun Miao speechlessly: "You don't want such a big bag of things?"
"Don't worry, I've got it all right. Sun Miao waved his hand casually.
Zhao Hu smiled wordlessly and bitterly, it is estimated that Sun Miao threw away all those things as trouble. But they didn't bother to ask, after all, it was his brother who prepared something for him, and it was indeed a little too much.
"Master Hu, how are your things handled?" Wen Xuan remembered something and turned his head to ask Zhao Hu.
"Don't say it, I knew I would have called you to go with me, these two stupid boys actually talked to others about the price for a long time, and they actually got a 700 gold, although it is not a loss, but it is not a lot of money, it is better to take it back." Zhao Hu pointed to the two people who followed behind him.
Sun Miao glanced at them, the two who were with Xu Wenxuan before going to the auction yesterday, it seems that they not only have to protect Xu Wenxuan, but also have the task of selling the bones of the demon beast.
"How's your body?" Sun Miaocai didn't care who earned what and how much. For him, except for the saddest days, most of the time, money was just a concept for him, because he was a formation talisman master. In times of danger and war, the people who are least short of money are probably doctors and array masters.
"It's not good, it's still a little numb, but it's much better. Zhao Hu waved his hand and let out a roar, this is actually still numb?
Sun Miao pulled Xin Sakura and put a pink crystal object in the palm of her hand: "Last time I said to buy you a gift, I forgot about it yesterday, and I will make up this for you today, just treat it as a gift for you." ”
This is a crystal like a petal, Sun Miao doesn't really know what kind of petal it is, but Kojiro likes to draw very much, and in his paintings, this style of petals often appears.
"Thank you. Xin Sakura held it tightly in her palm and pressed it to her chest, she tried to lower her head so that Sun Miao could not see her expression.
"When I go back to Thousand Stone City, I have to listen to my brother more, and occasionally I can communicate with my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is very easy to get along with, and it's best to learn a little more imperial dialect. That pair of wrist pads and leg pads only need to be brought for an hour a day, and then extend the time after you are fully adapted, I call your training method, you slowly experience it yourself, don't rush things, the more anxious you are, the more difficult it is to catch up. Sun Miao thought about it and muttered.
What he didn't see was the sly curvature of the corners of Shin Sakura's mouth slightly raised, and the hand that seemed to be holding his own hand with determination.
