Qinling Demon Coffin Chapter 12: Auction
The fat man said hello to me and left, and I fell asleep in bed.
When it was time for lunch, the fat man and the stuffy oil bottle were back. The fat man fed me the lunch he made one bite at a time, and in the end I couldn't stand it anymore, and asked him to give me the food to eat myself, and he was not happy.
I had no choice but to give up the struggle and let the fat man feed me after lunch.
Seeing that I had finished lunch, the stuffy oil bottle said, "Your third uncle should be in Xiangxi." I nodded, thanked the stuffy oil bottle, and lay down to sleep again.
After a few days, my body finally recovered under the care of the stuffy oil bottle and the fat man, and I couldn't wait to go through the discharge procedures and then go out all day.
The next day, we drove to Xiangxi.
When I arrived in Xiangxi, I found that there were no high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete, only some low-rise houses made of bricks and tiles.
There are also some bamboo forests and streams around us, the water is very clear, you can see the gravel at the bottom of the river at a glance, and you can smell the scent of bamboo from time to time in the breeze. It's a beauty that belongs to nature, and you can't experience it in that busy city.
We went to the town and opened a room, and learned from the owner that they were going to have an annual auction tonight.
I immediately took out 200 yuan from my wallet and asked the boss to take us to the auction tonight, and the innkeeper smiled and agreed when he saw the money and told us about some of the attractions around us and so on.
After a busy day, we were very tired, so we took the room key and went into our room. As soon as he arrived at the room, the fat man shouted, "Didn't I say, naΓ―ve, what are you doing this time?" Aren't you looking for your third uncle? How do you go to what auction do you go to? β
I said, "Fatty, you don't understand!" You may be able to get information about my third uncle at the auction. β
The fat man nodded and ignored me.
In a few moments, it was eight o'clock in the evening. There was a banging knock on the door, and I walked over and opened the door to see the innkeeper.
He said, "Let's go!" Otherwise, it will be too late, and you won't even be able to enter by then. β
I nodded, and followed the boss to the auction they were talking about.
The auction is held in a very strange place, why is it strange? Because the place where they held the auction was a huge cave.
At this time, the boss said, "I don't have the money to shoot those things anyway, so this invitation should be yours!" β
I said thank you to the boss and went with the invitation. We had just left for a short time before we were stopped, and the man who stopped us didn't say a word but held out a hand to us.
I understood what he meant, and immediately handed him the invitation that the boss had given us. The man took the invitation in his hand, flipped through it a few times, and then made a gesture of invitation from us.
And so we officially entered the place where the auction began, which could be said to be overcrowded, and they surrounded the site three floors inside and three floors outside.
A waiter came over and said, "I wonder if you came in with an invitation or a medal?" β
I replied, "We came in by invitation, is there anything wrong with that?" β
The waiter smiled and asked us to follow him. He led us inside the crowd. Then he said to us, "It seems that this seat is reserved for you, several, please take a seat!" β
I nodded, and the stuffy bottle sat down in our place.
The fat man handed me the auction list, and I looked at the items on it and noticed that there was one thing that was very strange.
Because it wasn't an antique or anything like that, it was an animal, and there was no mention of the animal on the auction list, not even a name, just a picture.
The bell for the start of the "Nail" auction was ringed, and the auction officially began.
A woman with an even figure walked onto the auction table. "Ladies and gentlemen, today's auction has officially begun, and our first lot will be on display below. β
She then gave a high-five. Immediately after, a cabinet covered with a red cloth slowly rose up. The woman lifted the red cloth from the cabinet, and we finally saw the true face of the item in the cabinet, which was a Buddha head.
The woman began: "As you can see, this is a Buddha head from India, which was brought to China by a merchant in the mid-16th century, and it took several turnovers to get it at auction for 2 million yuan, and the bidding will begin." β
Voices such as 2 million and 6 million kept ringing around, and finally the price of this Buddha head was fixed at the price of 11.8 million yuan.
11.8 million yuan once, 11.8 million yuan twice, 1180 yuan three times, is there a higher price? The woman asked.
After waiting for two or three minutes, she noticed that no one on the scene was raising the price, so she said, "Deal." β
The items on the scene were auctioned off like this. At last I arrived at the auction item that caught my attention, and it was not the one that had been presented from the cabinet, but was led by an ugly-looking man.
The woman introduced: "This is a beast man, I don't know exactly what the situation is, it was captured by the villagers here a few months ago, it is said that this animal can help the owner to crack the bad luck and kill the ghosts around him." The starting price is 3 million. β
To be honest, I'm very interested in this animal, but unfortunately I don't have that much money around at the moment. Bidding prices are still rising, and the voices of those around you who are participating in the auction are constantly being heard.
Eventually, the price stopped. The price is very amazing, an animal was photographed for 60 million yuan, this kind of scene is very rare!
The auction was still going on, and I looked at the exhibits behind me and saw that there was nothing unusual, so I fell asleep on the table.
I don't know how long it took for a "bang" to come and I woke up to find that the auction was over. The woman said, "This year's auction is over, please come and pay for the items." β
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh, and I regretted that I didn't find a clue about the third uncle.
When the fat man saw it, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, clues are not easy to find." I nodded and left with the fat man.
I had barely walked a few steps when I heard a quarrel coming from the place where I had paid the fee, and I looked back to see that it was the man who had taken the beast because he couldn't afford to pay the argument.
He pulled out his gun and said, "Today, I will take this thing with me, and there is no reason why I can't take away the things I fancy can't be taken away." β
The woman who had presided over the auction before tried desperately to stop it, but it was to no avail. The man shot at the beast man, not to mention that the beast man was quite clever, and as soon as he saw the man's gun, he immediately ran into the distance, and in this way, the bullet hit the iron chain, causing the chain to break.
Breaking free from its chains, it immediately began to run wildly. The guards at the entrance of the cave naturally didn't let go when they heard the movement inside, and they all ran towards this side with guns in their hands. When they saw the fleeing beast, they immediately surrounded it.
When the beast saw that he could not escape, he ran to me. I couldn't bear to ignore it when I saw the beast man, so I said, "The person who took this product before couldn't pay for it, so can I buy this product now?" β
The woman said, "Of course you can, if you want." But you'll have to deal with him, sir. β
I said, "Hello, can I buy this item?" I'll give forty million. β
When the man heard this, he said, "Boy, if you can afford to pay this today, then I will give it to you, and if you can't pay it, you will have to pay for your words and deeds." β
I nodded and said, "Wait for me for five minutes." "Subsequently, I immediately called Xiaohua to tell him about the situation on my side and asked him to transfer 40 million yuan to me.
A minute later, the money Xiaohua sent me finally arrived, I asked the man's card number and then transferred the money to his card.
When he saw the money, he said, "All right! Now it's yours. β
When I heard him say this, I immediately hugged the beast man on my lap in my arms, and walked out of the cave with the stuffy oil bottle and the fat man.
