Chapter 217 The Imprisoned Canary
In fact, it's not that Uncle Guang can't see Ma Tao, it's just that the entire auction hall is full of hundreds of people gathered at this time, and under the crowd, it is not so easy to find someone seriously, not to mention that Uncle Guang didn't expect to meet Ma Tao in this place.
At the moment when he confirmed that it was Uncle Guang, Ma Tao was so frightened that he stood up from his seat at once, but then he thought that something was wrong and hurriedly sat back, because his movements reacted quickly, and in the eyes of others, it was like he was tired of sitting on this hard stone chair and wanted to get up and change to a more comfortable position.
Uncle Guang is not clear why he appears here for the time being, he will definitely attract the attention of people who are interested in standing up like this, and being noticed will make people remember, and it will be difficult to do anything after being remembered, the best way to save Uncle Guang at the moment is to pay for him and then slowly ask what happened? Uncle Guang, shouldn't he live in seclusion in the valley of Seoul with those old men who have lost their children, why is he here? He's here, and where are the poor old people?
"What's wrong with you?"
The sister next to him was the closest to Ma Tao, Ma Tao had been watching the auction indiscriminately, and suddenly the sister was the first to notice it, and when she saw that his face was different, she asked him gently
"What do you see?"
Although Ma Tao's range of movements was not particularly large, and the cover-up was also timely, Gao Han still noticed that Ma Tao's face was a little wrong at this time, and also asked.
"I'm going to buy the sixth middle-aged man on the left in a moment, no matter what, I have to buy him"
Ma Tao's eyes were firmly fixed on Uncle Guang, and the indisputability in his tone made everyone hear.
"Which one?"
Gao Han knew that Ma Tao was not usually a person who liked to joke, and at this time, once he got serious, he definitely had to make some moves, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
"Is it the tall and thin uncle with a Chinese character face and small eyes?"
My sister also saw Uncle Guang, but she wasn't sure if what she saw was the same person as what Ma Tao saw.
"That's right"
Ma Tao nodded and replied.
"Why buy him? It doesn't look good."
Xiao Jinzi glanced at Uncle Guangdao, who looked a little stunned.
"Don't worry so much, I know that person, I have to save him"
At this time, the auction of white shirts has reached the fourth, and there are two to Uncle Guang, fortunately, the competition is not very fierce, the price of middle-aged live bait like them is generally between 50-100G, and it has not exceeded 100G until now, Ma Tao squinted his eyes, and most of the stones in his heart fell.
"Looks like it's time to act"
Gao Han glanced at Ma Tao and the middle-aged man with thin and tall eyes, his charming apricot eyes blinked, although he didn't know why Ma Tao had to save him, but it definitely wouldn't be a bad thing, just save a person, and it wouldn't cost a few dollars.
The price difference between live bait slaves is quite large, the cheapest live bait can even be as low as 1G to buy a life and death, and the most expensive as high as tens of thousands of G can even buy a similar war vehicle, and the auction of live bait also hides some shady scenes, for example, there is a thing at the auction, A likes something very much, but A is afraid of being bought by B and C and others, so A arranges for others to compete with himself, creating a fierce momentum of-for-tat, no one competes with himself, and it is naturally most convenient to start by himself, If you have your own opponents to compete with yourself, you can also withdraw directly, and you will withdraw from them, then your opponent will naturally not continue to compete with yourself, this is a way to advance and retreat, so that those who are against themselves, or want to buy them, and those who are stronger than themselves are not willing to get involved, so that A can bid for this thing that he likes very much, although it costs the same money, but he can invisibly avoid many opponents, This kind of move is usually used to compete for something particularly good.
Soon it was Uncle Guang.
"The next one is a reclusive, it is said that he is still a cook, and he was still wearing a chef's hat at the time, what kind of craftsmanship, then he can only wait for the big boss to buy it back and inspect it himself, the starting price is 30G, and the price increase shall not be less than 10G each time"
The smile on the white shirt's face was about to stiffen, and this professional smile had been smiling for almost an hour, but the auction had to continue, and business had to be done.
“100G”
Ma Tao immediately spoke, and when he came up, he raised the price to the highest point of almost all the current live bait auction prices, and his purpose was to show his determination to win.
Buying a middle-aged man who looked quite thin at such a high price, someone in the auction hall immediately exchanged ears, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, and they didn't understand why Ma Tao wanted to come up with such a high price, although he was a chef, but that's all.
Although Uncle Guang on the auction table had his mouth sealed with tape, his ears and eyes were free, and when he heard that he was called to such a price, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of surprise, and he looked in the direction of the sound, and his gaze was connected with Ma Tao's gaze in mid-air, and he immediately felt a burst of spirit, wanting to say something, but his mouth was sealed with tape and he couldn't open his mouth at all, and he could only make a whining sound.
"The warrior over there bid 100G, 100G, is there anything higher than 100G, if not, this reclusive cook is the warrior's"
The white shirt is very happy, the price of 100G is already considered to be earning back with all the profits, and the folds on the face are piled up.
"100G at a time! 100G twice! Twice! ”
The white shirt stretched out his hand and pointed at Uncle Guang, who was guarded by the guards, and shouted loudly.
At this moment, a heavily armed guard suddenly ran up from the auction table, came directly to the white shirt and leaned over to say something in his ear, and saw the white shirt sneak a glance at a piece of gray-white glass on the right side of the auction hall and nodded, the guard saw that he understood, and then turned around and ran away again.
"Just got the news that someone is bidding 200G"
After the guards left, the white shirt immediately shouted loudly, and there was a lot of noise in the field, not because this 200G is expensive, can come here, which one has at least a thousand G of expenses, no one is worse than this 200G, but I feel that it is really unbelievable to use this money to compete for a chef who has no combat effectiveness, the only possibility is that these two buyers may know, and it is very likely that they have some hatred before they deliberately demolish the stage.
What the?
Ma Tao had a bad premonition from the guard lying in his white shirt and talking in his ear, and now that he had cashed in, he quickly glanced at Gao Han.
Gao Han, who had an R sister in the middle, skimmed him and said lazily to the auction table, "210G"
“220”
As soon as Gao Han's voice fell, Ma Tao's flat voice sounded, and he immediately regained the initiative again.
He wants to test whether the guy who competes with him has an enmity with him and deliberately rectifies himself, but he has just arrived and has never had a grudge against anyone, is it possible? Is it the one surnamed Yan?
Thinking of this, Ma Tao's heart immediately burned with anger, you almost took Sister Han's life, we haven't settled accounts with you yet, what are you going to do today!
"220G! What else ......?"
Before the white shirt finished speaking, the guard who ran over before actually came running again, no need to guess, the price came again.
Ma Tao stared at the guard viciously, eager to run over and kill the guard directly, the one who could mobilize the guard to pass the word was so mysterious, it must be the one with a strict name, and he didn't run away.
Sure enough, as soon as the guard turned around, the white shirt immediately shouted "250G!" Now this reclusive cook is worth 250G! Is there anything higher than 250G? ”
As he spoke, the white shirt glanced at Ma Tao and their side, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Fuck you, this is deliberately not getting along with us, which bastard is hiding from us"
Even Xiao Jin could see that someone was deliberately raising the bar, but why did this person jump out when his group selected the auction, why didn't he participate before?
"I give up ......"
Ma Tao gritted his teeth and gurgled, and finally sat back on the seat with a puffed ass.
"250G twice!"
The shouts of the white shirt sounded again like a talisman.
“300G!”
Xiao Jinzi saw Ma Tao sit down, he stood up, and directly raised the price by 50G, becoming 300, such a price is enough to buy a young and beautiful female slave or a man with some combat effectiveness, and it is becoming more and more interesting to buy such a useless middle-aged chef.
Soon, the guard actually came again, and then according to the old rules, he said a few words in the ear of the white shirt, and the price became 350G.
The expression on Ma Tao's face changed, and he glanced at Gao Han, and both of them had a puzzled look on their faces.
How so?
At first, Ma Tao thought that the other party knew or had some estrangement with him, so he preconceived that the other party was a competitor, but Ma Tao had given up, and the other party was still raising the price after changing the little gold, which is obviously not a grudge against himself, could it be that he also has a grudge against the little gold? Or does the other person know them?
Thinking of this, Ma Tao stretched out his hand to summon the little radish who was looking curiously behind him, and quietly told him to go behind Gao Han to increase the price.
Xia Radish complied, and hurriedly ran to the back of Gao Han's chair, then glanced at Ma Tao, and when he saw that he nodded, he shouted "360G"
Maybe it's a little timid and a little curious, the little radish is not loud, or even a little small, and he didn't dare to increase the price, but he just raised the minimum standard of 10 G, but that white shirt did this, and he heard it immediately.
Everyone's eyes in the audience turned to the other side again, and soon, the guard came to the stage again, and the price reached 400G.
Ma Tao and the others were all stunned, what is the situation? The other party obviously has an inevitable posture for Uncle Guang, is this the rhythm of stumbling to the end?
But this time, Ma Tao noticed a problem, not only did he notice it, but Gao Han obviously also noticed it, that is, when the white shirt was docking with the guard, he would always look at a huge gray-white glass on the right with his eyes, intentionally or unintentionally.
Ma Tao followed his gaze, and there was nothing on the wall on the right except for the glass that was four or five meters large, and he didn't know why this white shirt was looking at this thing.
Looking at the huge gray-white floor-to-ceiling glass, Ma Tao suddenly felt like a stranger, and then his eyes widened more and more, and he suddenly thought of where he had seen this color of glass.
VIP compartments in the Colosseum!
That's right!
Isn't the bulletproof glass in the gladiatorial chamber that Ma Tao went to before look like this color from the outside, but it is indeed transparent from the inside, as soon as this answer came out, Ma Tao immediately realized that there was definitely a secret room behind the gray-white floor-to-ceiling glass, and yes, why was he so stupid, he didn't realize that there would definitely be some hidden small boxes in a place like the auction for those who have status or need to hide to participate, since there is such a small box, there will definitely not be only one, Ma Tao looked around again, It was immediately found that there were three floor-to-ceiling glass of the same scale in the entire auction room, which were on the left and right sides of the auction table and directly opposite the auction table, that is, directly behind the entire auction room, but Ma Tao did not see the door that could enter these boxes, and the entrance must have been hidden.
After understanding this, Ma Tao knew that the person who raised the price with him must be hidden behind the gray-white bulletproof glass, who would it be?
Gao Han saw that Ma Tao suddenly fell into deep thought, but the auction was still going on, and he had already been shouted to 400G for the second time, and the uncle who was shouting once Ma Tao wanted to save was about to be taken away, so he quickly coughed and reminded him.
Gao Han had never been to the gladiatorial arena, so he naturally didn't know that there was something else behind the gray-white glass.
Awakened by Gao Han's shout, Ma Tao immediately came back to his senses, and when he heard the 400G sentence of the white shirt in his ears for the second time, his heart suddenly became nameless.
As the saying goes, the mud bodhisattva still has that three-point fire, not to mention the people, Ma Tao is also open, Uncle Guang on the auction table is saved today, no one can stop it, and he doesn't care what he just said to quit or something, stand up, and directly is a throat.
“500G!”
I can't care about anything now, but I want to see who has to go against myself today, Ma Tao's roar is angry, and he is quite confident, and Ma Tao has already stood up at this time, so standing out from the crowd instantly became the focus of the audience.
500G Although there are not many,Everyone here is out,But today's thing is more interesting,It's obviously the meaning of two groups of people fighting,People who watch the excitement are never too lively to see,Even want to be as lively as possible,Now,The main owner of one side has appeared,The characters of the other side have not yet appeared,This excitement is still to see。
In the secret box of the auction hall, when Su Lanxi, who was dressed in black gauze, saw the face of the person standing up, the expression on his face immediately stiffened, not to mention how mixed there were in his heart, there was a trace of joy, and some anger.
Originally, Su Lanyu planned to come to this auction to relax, although the area of the black market in this Shura Hall is quite large, but there is no entertainment at all, except for blood and violence, there are really not many things that can interest her, and this auction can still be lively, but I didn't think that there would be Uncle Guang at today's auction.
Su Lanyu naturally knew Uncle Guang, and he also received Uncle Guang's warm hospitality in the small village that lived in seclusion in the mountains, from the moment he saw Uncle Guang, Su Lanyu knew that the small village was probably gone, and something must have happened to him, so Su Lanyu had to save him, but he didn't think that an ordinary live bait was still snatched by someone himself, and he robbed it so justifiably, only increasing the price by 10 G each time.
In the black market of Shura Palace, this is equivalent to her own territory, Su Lanyu is not bad for money, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to be too eye-catching, she would have wanted to shout directly to the price of 1000G, but she didn't expect that the guy who had been competing with her Uncle Guang would actually be Ma Tao, and if she could meet two acquaintances at a time here, it was simply a happy person who couldn't be happier, but one became the most inferior live bait slave, and the other was a bastard who harmed her sister, Su Lanyu really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
In the room, the guard who had been speaking for him stood upright and waited for the woman in front of the bulletproof glass window to give orders, staring straight at the place in front of him, not daring to look up.
This is Mr. Yan's woman, everyone knows that Mr. Yan's obsession with this woman has reached the point of madness, dare to be disrespectful to this woman, it is purely too long, and another reason is that this beautiful woman in a black gauze is too beautiful, the beauty is suffocating, and the attraction to men is too great, she is like a proud queen, who will make you can't help but prostrate under her pomegranate skirt, willing to be the kind of attraction of cattle and horses.
But the woman didn't squeak now, just stood in front of the bulletproof floor-to-ceiling window, she didn't move, the guards didn't dare to move, and the other maids in the room also lowered their heads and were silent, just like that, looking at the white shirt in the auction hall and justifying herself there.
The most embarrassing thing in this is this white shirt.,500G The price has been reported three times by the audience.,But the guard who has been coming to tell me hasn't come for a long time.,What does this mean? Could it be that the one in the VIP compartment took the initiative to give up? Shouldn't it? 500G only, which can't be called money for her at all, even a hairpin on her head will cost at least 1,800G.
Time passed minute by minute, and the white shirt still didn't see the arrival of the guard, and there was no news from the one inside, so he had to say boldly at first glance, "500G for the third time!" Yes...... Deal! ”
The high degree of mental tension made his language expression skills less neat, and he actually stumbled in such a sentence, and wiped the unnecessary sweat on his sideburns with his sleeve, looking particularly nervous.
"Congratulations to the gentleman over there for getting this reclusive chef in the mountains, please go backstage and pay the money"
As the white shirt stretched out his hand to signal, Ma Tao and the others couldn't help but look at each other, especially Ma Tao, he was ready to use this 10,000 G to save Uncle Guang's life, but why did the other party suddenly give up?
How?
What's the situation?
Could it be that the other party was shocked by his aura because of his sudden stand-up, and he was afraid to continue to follow? Or is it that the other party is going to play some kind of trick against himself and others? Or did the other party suddenly encounter some unexpected incident and leave?
Ma Tao frowned, not understanding why the opponent suddenly died down halfway, but no matter what, he successfully saved Uncle Guang after all.
Glancing at Gao Han and Sister R, who were also unknown, Ma Tao nodded, and led everyone to get up and rush to the backstage of the auction.
In a private box in the auction house.
Seeing Ma Tao's departure, Su Lanyu woke up like a dream, and saw the end of the auction, obviously Uncle Guang was bought by Ma Tao, she realized that she had just thought about things and was in a trance, and when she turned around, the guards and maids in the house were standing there with their heads bowed and quietly waiting for their orders, and when they turned around, Ma Tao had already gotten up to leave.
Su Lanyu immediately turned around and was about to leave the box, she was going to find Ma Tao to ask how her sister died, she wanted to know what happened, but with her move, the maids who were originally around actually stepped forward and blocked the door with their bodies.
This kind of thing obviously happens often, these maids are very uniform, even the pace is the same, after blocking the door of the room with their bodies, all the maids are still like just now, with their heads down, silent.
"Get out of the way!"
Su Lanyu looked at these maids and shouted angrily.
These maids are all seriously trained like puppets, they don't cry out for pain or hunger, if it weren't for the fact that these people are flesh and blood people with heartbeats and breathing, Su Lanyu would have doubted whether these were human beings or not. ,
"I'm sorry, miss, you can't go to see any outsiders, this is Mr. Yan's rule for us"
All the maids who blocked the door with their bodies collectively bent down and bowed their heads.
"Seriously! Serious! Serious again! Don't I have a little freedom and no space!! ”
Su Lanyu doesn't know how many times she has heard this sentence, she even recited it backwards, usually forget it, now, can't these guys see the height of their eyebrows, the angry Su Lanyu couldn't bear it anymore, and as soon as her figure flashed, she took the snowy knife out of the sheath with her hand, and the cold blade was directly across the neck of a maid in the middle.
The sharp blade immediately cut a bloody streak on the maid's neck, and the wound deepened, and a drop of blood slid down the blade.
"Fuck off! If you don't get out of the way, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now! ”
Su Lanyu's gaze had become cold.
