Chapter 13: The Hustle

After the hero auction, the world was in an uproar.

Far from passing, the aftermath of the auction has intensified. Anyone who participated in this auction admired the handiwork of the big family. Not to mention the artifacts such as the Silent Walker and the Ring of Doom, the two pieces of paper that fetched a sky-high price in the end caused an uproar. But I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, the people have not learned the news that the Hero Chamber of Commerce is going to take the ancient road again. Originally, the gold content of participating in this auction is very high, and these people may be able to participate in this matter, and the news will definitely not be hidden, but if they hide it for a while, they will have more preparation and more opportunities. In this way, most people don't know what's going on, at the dinner table, in the wine shop, and even in the parents on the kang at home, they often discuss this, and some people fight because of arguments, and no one can convince anyone.

"Everyone has heard that the auction of the Hero Chamber of Commerce at the same time in the Eastern and Western Continents this time, and the final finale lot is the same thing, that is, two book pages. Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what kind of good thing this page is, and it is worth these big families to fight for and get it? ”

"It must be a treasure." "Fuck off, it must be a peerless soldier." "How is it possible, use your mind to think about it, which royal family still has a rare weapon, it must be a magic skill above the heaven level."

Everyone quarreled again with each other, and there was a tendency to start if they didn't agree. Only a boy with the appearance of a child stood quietly in a corner of the hall, out of place with this scene. The basket behind him was much taller than him, and he looked quite cute. It's just that his expression is by no means cute, his eyes are blank, as if he is wandering away at will, just hearing everyone's words, he pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Guest officers, guest officers, listen to me, listen to me, I have exclusive news!"

The storyteller in front of him shouted a few times before he could barely attract everyone's attention.

"Little old man, don't blame Lao Tzu for not reminding you, if you talk nonsense, don't blame me for demolishing your teahouse!"

"That's it!" "I don't know, don't talk nonsense!" "Otherwise, it's really demolished!"

Everyone is joking, if one or two sentences of the book don't sound good, the wall will be torn down, and no matter how big the city is, there will be no teahouse. Everyone is used to coaxing, if people don't scold happily when listening to books, who will come here to drink tea? But the one on the stage seemed to be serious, and when he heard these doubts, his face was red, and he scratched his ears and cheeks, as if he had been greatly insulted, and slapped the table five or six times in a row.

"How can it be nonsense! Lao Tzu's news channel is absolutely reliable! I'm not afraid to tell you that it was sent by the son of the second uncle of my sister-in-law's brother-in-law's distant cousin and the eldest sister next door, and that is the master who works on an errand in the Hero Chamber of Commerce, can it be nonsense? ”

"Fart you!" "Don't fuck it!" "This news is reliable, Lao Tzu will give you a hundred taels for nothing!" "You have the ability to say it again, who in your family said it!" "That's it, you say it again, if it's wrong, don't blame me for throwing my shoes." "Hahahahaha

Everyone listens to the book, in fact, the ** achievement is to be lively, who really expects the storyteller in this small teahouse to tell the truth? It would be stupid to think so. The old storyteller is also a second person, and he even talks and acts, which quickly stirs up the atmosphere in the teahouse. Everyone coaxed him to say it again, but how could that be, this thing was a disposable, where did he remember which relative he had just pulled up. He coughed pretending to be and shouted: "Shut up, I tell the book or you tell the book, listen to me!" ”

Naturally, everyone booed again, and it took a long time before it quieted down.

"If you want to talk about the page, but the real ancient thing, the legend is that it has existed since the time when the heavens and the earth were separated, and it will only appear during the great events of the world's storms, the most recent of which appeared more than 1,500 years ago."

The little scholar was a little distracted, he got up early in the morning to buy, and when he walked the streets, he heard all about this auction. Unexpectedly, a month has passed, and this matter has not subsided, but has become more and more intense. It was as if he could feel the tension in the air, it was an instinct, and the once peaceful merchant coast seemed to have turned into a flash of fire in the night, rapidly attracting flying insects from all directions.

The storyteller has a good eloquence, and he has been talking endlessly, and the fact that one point is true and nine points false is actually forced to say to him that it is ten out of ten.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this book originally had a name, handed down from antiquity. It's just that since more than 2,000 years ago, the book records have gradually stopped using that name, do you know what it is? ”

Everyone exchanged heads for a while, some shook their heads directly, some speculated, and they made noise again. It's just that the scholar in the corner has his eyes lit up, but he didn't expect this product to be a bit really talented, and he was also a pig and a tiger, so the corner of his mouth smiled lightly.

The storyteller whetted everyone's appetite, he looked calm, very proud, and when he saw that the heat was almost over, he opened his mouth to answer. Suddenly, a loud shout broke out in the teahouse:

"Boss, where are my tea cakes, okay, I still have to go home to cook!"

This sound was extremely clear in the originally quiet teahouse, and everyone's eyes were focused on that corner, and many people were burning in their eyes, obviously not wanting to be good. It's just that when they see the person's appearance clearly, he is still a child, but they are embarrassed to scold. All of a sudden, it was quieter, and many of them had a slightly distorted complexion, as if they were holding back something, including the storyteller at the front.

Seeing the situation, the owner of the teahouse hurriedly took a few big strides and sent a few wrapped tea cakes to the child's back basket. This storyteller was just invited a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to bring a lot of popularity and business a lot better. In addition, he had never heard these jokes, so he forgot that there was one more thing after listening to them for a while. At this time, I just hope that Xiao Tong will quickly collect his things and leave, don't disturb him to do business, and of course, listen to books.

The boy didn't show any dissatisfaction, he turned his back twice, and walked out with small steps, but he was still singing something as he walked. At first, it seemed that he was just muttering to himself, but for some reason the farther he went, the louder his voice became, and finally, people heard him sing:

"Apocalypse of gods and demons, apocalypse of gods and demons, apocalypse of gods and demons, apocalypse of gods and demons"

The corner of the storyteller's eyes jumped wildly when he heard this, and he felt that something in his body was broken, and something was about to gush out, and he shouted wildly in his heart: "Spoilers are cool for a while"

The teahouse is not far from the east gate, and it is the last stop for the children to buy today. He ran and stopped, with cheerful steps, and made his way down the intricate alleys, and at last entered an inn.

The innkeeper didn't know what to think, and the business that was ushered in was done in this deep alley, where could ordinary travelers find it. The boy hummed a tune and walked all the way inside, stopping in the courtyard on the third floor. The flower beds, rockeries, flowing water vines, a little bit of fun, decorate the small courtyard quiet and elegant, and the disturbances outside seem to be far away from here, which is intoxicating. I didn't expect that this prosperous port city could still have such a piece of pure land.

"What's the matter, absent-minded."

In the middle of the courtyard, the old man is lying on a bamboo rocking chair and gently rocking, enjoying the warm sunshine.

Xiao Tong put down the basket and gently pressed his shoulder, "Master, you don't know, what are those people talking about, there is all sorts of nonsense, Xiao Tong is too lazy to roll his eyes." It turned out that Xiao Tong was really called Xiao Tong, he walked a few steps quickly, went to the old man and picked up the cup of freshly brewed tea and drank it all, it was not too hot, and he added another cup to the old man. The old man just shook his head and smiled, but he didn't get angry, it seemed that he was used to it.

"Sir, I can get up early today."

"yes, enough sleep. What were you thinking? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that all I heard about the auction all the way out, and it feels a bit messy."

"Oh? Tell me how the shops are rumored. ”

"That's everything, and I don't bother to listen to it these days, but I just listen to a few words by the way. Master, you don't know, these people are too good at bragging, and one by one they all swear that their statements are true, others are not satisfied and have to fight, I really don't know what these people think, don't they have to work, where can they get money to eat if they don't work, how can they have the strength to fight if they don't eat, it's really weird"

The old man squinted and smiled, occasionally taking a sip of tea and shaking it slightly.

After a moment, the young man was still talking, but the old man couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't help but sigh secretly, the corners of his eyes moistened a little. Hey, when I chose the servant, I saw that this child was quieter, but I didn't expect that when I grew up, I became a chattering boy who didn't realize the master's dissatisfaction at all. The old man has been stubborn all his life, and since he chose it himself, he has to admit it. He took a long breath to calm his gradually restless emotions, and then spoke:

"Shut up and cook!"

The little boy pursed his lips, but he was not afraid, and he picked up the basket again and walked to the back kitchen, but his mouth did not stop: "Hey, are you in a bad temper when you are old?" No, no, I don't want to be like this in the future. Well, the lord is a good man, but his temper is a little worse, hey."

The old man could feel the fire burning in his heart until the child's figure completely disappeared from his sight. His chest rose and fell, gradually calming down. He shifted his body and lay down in the most comfortable position, staring at the sky in a daze.

"The wind is a bit noisy today."

The old man muttered to himself.
