13. Senior brother
Of course, a group of industry elites brought not all troubles, but more of them were all kinds of worship that were half a person high.
Although Xu Yang doesn't know what an antique collection is, since Zou Yi, who was born in a family, has saved a lot of effort.
However, although Master Zou has the name of a century-old family, he is reading MBA, and he can only see the table of antiquities in front of him, but he can't say why, fortunately, there are one or two deputies who have studied the collection under his hand, he picked the smallest porcelain bowl, and took it downstairs with the box.
"This is the egg white glaze of the Yuan Dynasty! The color is white and slightly green, the glaze is tight, boss, look at the pattern on it......" The vice president carefully held the bowl, facing Zou Yi's mouth like a river, and finally returned the baby in amazement, "It's so rare, boss, where did you get it from?"
Zou Yi got the information he wanted to know, so he vaguely brushed the question over, and then asked in a ghostly manner, "How much is this approximate valuation?"
The vice president shrugged, "I won't estimate this, but I know that a few years ago there was a similar egg white glazed bowl to it, and the transaction price was more than 74 million ......."
More than 74 million ......
Zou Yi took the small bowl in his hand, and then thought about the piles of antiques in Xu Yang's hand, and suddenly felt that he had to work harder to make money.
Knowing the value of these antiques, Xu Yang was very calm, firstly, he did not have much concept of the gold and silver money in the mortal world, and secondly, he did not reach the point of exhaustion, and an antique bowl that had not been realized was just a bowl in his eyes.
But this does not prevent him from knowing that he is rich, and without the concern of "relying on a mortal person to eat and live", he will live in Zou Yi's house more confidently.
Since the "Sumeng Mountain Special Office" was listed, it only took the matter of the disappearance of the demon beast, and one day Xu Yang met Cheng Mo downstairs, he dragged a trolley suitcase, and carried a backpack on his back, looking like he was going to go out.
Seeing Xu Yang, he also stopped, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Xu Yang!"
Xu Yang nodded, and suddenly remembered that Cheng Mo said before that he was going to record a reality show, so he asked, "Is the show catalog finished?"
Cheng Mo shook his head, "Something happened to the county that said it was going to record the show, it was postponed for a long time, and it was just dealt with recently, and I called yesterday to inform me to get on the plane today." After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, dragged his suitcase and ran a few steps, "Xuyang, can you help me go to see the fat ball?" Aze has three days to come back, so I'll put it in Zhixia again. ”
Xu Yang thought that he would take Odin to take a bath anyway, so he agreed, "Okay." ”
Cheng Mo smiled reassuringly, "Great, you can call me if you have anything! This is my phone number!" He took out a card, bit the cap of the pen and wrote a string of numbers on it.
"Dangdang! Cheng Mo brand exclusive handwritten business card!" he smiled and raised his eyebrows, shoving the cartoon post-it note into Xu Yang's hand.
Xu Yang took the card, and then remembered that he didn't have that kind of iron box like a sound stone.
As soon as he went home and told him about it, Mr. Zou Maimai Yi took someone to the mobile phone store on Italian Street the next day, and Xu Yang was not too interested in the sound transmission stone - that thing was found on almost every shapeshifting demon beast in Sumeng Mountain, so after buying it, he took Zou Yi directly to the Zhixia pet store.
Entrusted by people to be loyal to people, Xu Yang came to know Xia, precisely because of Cheng Mo's entrustment.
On this day, there were not many customers in the pet shop, and the store manager was sitting in a chair near the window holding a huge ...... Dan, when he saw Xu Yang, he smiled lightly, "Come and see the fat ball?"
Xu Yang nodded, looking curiously at the giant egg in his arms, "What is this?"
The man casually stroked it with his hand and said lightly, "It's a lovely child." ”
Xu Yang didn't understand the value of the man's words, he withdrew his gaze from the giant egg, turned his head slightly, and found that Zou Yi behind him was looking at the man with a stern face.
The man's identity is indeed too strange, as a mortal, he actually knows his surname, and the strange things he says after the first meeting, saying that he resembles a person...... This qiē is full of too much unusualness.
The store manager who was holding the "cute child" saw that the two people at the door were also looking at him with scrutinizing eyes, and there was nothing unusual about him, he stretched out his hand to Xu Yang and pointed at it from afar, "The fat ball is in the foster care room over there, and there will be a special clerk to take you there after you enter the house." ”
Xu Yang remembered his intention today, said a word to Zou Yi and walked directly towards the glass door in the east.
Zou Yi saw Xu Yang's figure disappear at the door, and then walked into the store, and a clerk who knew Zou Yi's identity came to say hello, Zou Yi nodded, and then sat directly in a seat not far from the man.
The store manager greeted him with a smile first, "Mr. Zou hasn't seen you for a long time." ”
Zou Yi looked around the store for a week, and then stopped at the man, he turned his head slightly, as if smiling, "Boss Wan has a good business?"
The man's smile remained unchanged, "Mr. Xie Zou cares, it's okay." ”
Zou Yi looked at the strange egg in the man's arms, paused for a while, and then said as if inadvertently, "I heard that the store manager deliberately advanced the store celebration date by half a year some time ago, so he must have made a lot of money." ”
The man's eyebrows raised slightly, "Mr. Zou is really hand-eyed." ”
Zou Yi smiled implicitly, "Where can I compare to Boss Wan, I have been planning for a long time." ”
The man smiled peacefully, "Mr. Zou praises falsely, this is just fate." ”
Zou Yi narrowed his eyes meaningfully, "Boss Wan Qi is really confident. ”
The man smiled, "Mr. Zou, we ...... each other"
As soon as Xu Yang entered the foster care room, he saw the cold fat ball, which looked good, Xu Yang bought some snacks for it alone, and saw that it ate in three or two bites, and then returned to the rest hall with confidence.
As soon as I got closer, I saw two men chatting happily on the left and right.
Xu Yang thought that Zou Yi was not usually a familiar character, and seeing the two of them so warm, most of them were old friends, but the identity of the man had not been guessed until now, and Xu Yang instinctively didn't want Zou Yi, a mortal who "covered himself", to have much contact with him.
The two who were chatting "warmly" saw Xu Yang approaching and stopped the verbal war between you and me, Zou Yi's face remained unchanged, and the store manager Wan Qi also behaved as usual, as if the two of them were really just chatting just now.
Zou Yi changed to a more casual sitting posture and said to Xu Yang: "Is the fat ball okay?"
Xu Yang nodded with a stern expression, "It's very edible." ”
Zou Yi smiled and stood up, "Since it's okay, then let's ......"
The store manager suddenly cut off his words in a voice on the side, "Xu Yang, can you talk?"
Xu Yang already had a lot of questions about men, and since he took the initiative to propose, he naturally would not refuse.
Zou Yi's body still maintained the posture when he just got up, he looked at the man with half-squinted eyes, looking at the man with a worried expression, knowing that he had no position to influence Xu Yang's choice, but at this moment, he selfishly didn't want the two of them to have any contact.
In the matter of how to pursue a big monster, he is basically in a dilemma, and this man knows Xu Yang better than him, which is the last thing Zou Yi wants to admit.
The man must have been very aware of this, even if he noticed Zou Yi's dangerous eyes, he stretched out his hand to Xu Yang without care, "Cake and sweet milk are prepared upstairs." ”
Zou Yi secretly clenched his fingers, then exhaled, took out a cigarette from his pocket of his clothes, and said to Xu Yang, "I'll wait for you outside." ”
Xu Yang didn't think about it and took the cigarette out of his finger, "Don't smoke." ”
He pinned the cigarette into his shirt pocket, turned around and said casually, "I don't eat cake in this seat, I'll come out in a while." ”
The man took Xu Yang to the living room on the second floor, different from the hustle and bustle on the first floor, the second floor looks empty and quiet, there are only a few simple furnishings in the living room, although it is well maintained, but it can also be seen that there are many green plants on the balcony on the right, some have grown to waist-high height, Xu Yang can't call the name, but feels a little familiar.
The man followed Xu Yang's gaze, "Those are Lixi grasses, you can live for a long time with a little water." ”
Xu Yang was a little surprised: "Isn't this the weeds in the ...... Sumeng Mountain?"
The man put the refreshments in front of Xu Yang, then sat on the sofa next to him, and said slowly, "You are very strange about my identity, why did I know your name, your surname, and those inexplicable words when we met for the first time......"
"Before I explain this qiē to you, can you sue me, you know ......?"
Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly answered, "Amway?"
The man's next words seemed to be choked into his throat, and he looked at Xu Yang's somewhat embarrassed appearance, and suddenly covered his eyes and laughed.
After all these years, you still can't change the habit of reading picture books!"
Xu Yang was also taken aback, and his face turned pale, "How do you know this!"
The man's expression softened with a smile, and he looked at Xu Yang and said seriously, "Because...... I'm your brother's friend. ”
"Do you know my senior brother?" Xu Yang suddenly became vigilant.
As a great demon, his senior brother is arrogant and indifferent by nature, and he is the most disdainful of all the demons to be in the company of mortals, but this mortal says that he is his friend......
The man poured the warm milk into the cup, the heat rose, his eyes fixed on the mist, as if recalling that incredible past, "It's strange, a big demon who opens his mouth and closes his mouth is a 'stupid mortal', can actually become friends with an ordinary person, not only did not hide his identity, but also told him the big and small interesting things he experienced in the Sumeng Mountain...... If I hadn't experienced this qiē myself, even I wouldn't have believed it. ”
After listening to the man's narration, Xu Yang said with some urgency, "Then where is my senior brother now?"
The man shook his head slightly, "Let's go, since ancient times, demons have different paths, he has his way to go, and I also have a life that must be lived." ”
Xu Yang said, "Why should I believe you?"
The man hooked the corners of his mouth slyly, and said slowly, "Because I'm the only person here who knows about you when you were a child, you didn't transform into a shape, steal sour apricots, hold a branch, and you can't come down, you can only cry and peek at the painting book under my sister's pillow after transforming into a shape, and I was caught by my master and punished for picking up weeds for a year." ”
He paused, then added, "I also know that kind of weed is called Lixi grass." ”
Xu Yang has lived for three thousand years, and it is the first time that he has felt the embarrassment in front of a mortal, and he didn't know what expression to use to face it for a while, so he had to bow his head slightly and whisper, "Then my senior brother is he...... Did you say when you would go back?"
The man was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "Don't wait for him." ”
Xu Yang raised his head again, "What?"
Man: "He's ...... There's no going back. ”
Xu Yang's eyes were stunned, and he grabbed the man's neck with his hand, and said sharply, "What did you say!"
The smile in the man's eyes did not retreat, he looked at Xu Yang, slowly raised his hand and patted the top of his head, "Don't look for him, he left with a catastrophe, and if the catastrophe is not answered for a day, he will not go back." ”
"......" Xu Yang was stunned, and then subconsciously let go of his hand, "Who are you?"
The man said, "As you can see, I'm just an ordinary pet shop owner. ”
