Chapter 279: Elimination in half
The place where Mr. Qiao informed her that she was going was not Xue Lao's residence, nor was it Gu Hongzhai, where Qin Sheng was, but a small courtyard that was not very noticeable.
This courtyard looks quite quiet, and it is a place for those who like to drink tea and fight birds. As soon as Gu Ming walked into the small courtyard, he saw several bird cages hanging on the trees in the yard, and the birds in the cages were chirping non-stop.
The birdsong is crisp and pleasant, which makes people not feel noisy when they listen to it, but gives birth to a faster mood.
She wasn't the first to arrive, and when she arrived, there were already two people standing in the courtyard, one was a young man who looked to be about twenty-five or sixteen, and the other was an acquaintance she knew, Song Yao.
Because she had known from Mr. Qiao that Song Yao would come to participate in this assessment, Gu Ming was not very surprised when she saw Song Yao.
Song Yao may have also received the news that Gu Ming would participate before, and not only was she not surprised to see Gu Ming coming, but she also smiled at Gu Ming and beckoned Gu Ming to come to her side.
Seeing Song Yao this time, Gu Ming obviously felt that Song Yao had changed a lot, and the whole person was much calmer and more introverted than when she was in Xinjiang before, and the feeling that made her feel strange at that time almost disappeared, as if she had returned to the time when they first met.
Although it is impossible to have the heart of harming people, but the heart of preventing people is indispensable, Gu Ming has always adhered to the attitude of a villain first and then a gentleman, needless to say, others are good to her, she will be twice as good, but if she has any crooked brains for her, then she is not a person who can tolerate it.
Song Yao's transformation made her feel a little inexplicable, so while walking towards Song Yao, her heart also lifted slightly. I wasn't paralyzed by the gentle smile on the other person's face.
"Gu Ming, let me introduce you, this is Su Ming, and he is also one of the candidates to participate in this quota competition." Song Yao seemed to be more familiar with Su Ming, and when she introduced Gu Ming, her tone also revealed some familiarity.
Since everyone else took the initiative to introduce it, Gu Ming naturally couldn't stand aside as a piece of wood, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand towards Su Ming and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm Gu Ming." ”
Su Ming also shook Gu Ming's hand back, with neither particularly enthusiasm. He also said to Gu Ming in a very cold tone: "Hello, I'm Su Ming, I've heard Song Yao mention you before." ”
Gu Ming subconsciously glanced at Song Yao, and Su Ming's words showed that he and Song Yao had a good relationship.
"I've heard that there are a few more people coming, but it seems like the three of us came a little early. The others haven't arrived yet. Song Yao looked at the time and said with a smile.
At such an important time, Gu Ming would have always preferred to arrive early rather than be late. Listening to Song Yao's words, he just nodded and didn't say anything.
It was Song Yao who spoke first: "Gu Ming, do you know who else is coming later?" ”
"I don't know." Gu Ming shook her head.
Song Yao may just ask casually, and have a reason to speak. At this time, I didn't seem disappointed when I heard Gu Ming say that I didn't know, but continued: "I don't know either. However, according to my analysis, there should be no more than six people. ”
"How do you know there won't be more than six?" Su Ming leaned against the tree on the side and looked at Song Yaodao.
"Because Xue Lao only has three recommended places in his hands." Song Yao said very surely.
Su Ming raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.
Gu Ming glanced at Song Yao with a little surprise, she had also asked Mr. Qiao about how many recommended places Xue Lao had in his hand before, but she didn't inquire, she didn't expect Song Yao to be so sure.
"With a one-half elimination rate, everyone has to cheer." Song Yao said with a smile, her gaze slowly swept over Gu Ming and Su Ming's bodies.
"Thanks for the reminder." Su Ming arched his hand at Song Yao, and from his attitude, he couldn't tell that he didn't care about Song Yao's advice.
While the three of them were talking, a few more people came one after another. At half past nine, Mr. Qiao and Mr. Xue appeared in the courtyard on time.
Xue Lao glanced at the people who came to the courtyard, nodded and said, "Not bad." Everyone is here. ”
Only then did Gu Ming affirm the number of people competing for the quota from Xue Lao's words, not to mention that there were exactly 6 people.
Among them, only she and Song Yao are women. The other four were all men, and they were all very old, and the eldest looked no more than twenty-seven or eighteen, and would definitely not be more than thirty years old.
"Okay, I won't say much else, why are you standing here today, you all know it in your own hearts." Xue Lao paused for a moment, and then said: "Don't think that there are only 6 of you, and the recommended places are very easy to compete for, even if you perform well with each other, but if you don't meet my standards, I would rather waste those few places than let you be embarrassed." You must know that this assessment is international, if you are not strong enough, if you go out and lose people, it is not only a shame on your own, but a loss on the face of the entire country/family. ”
The expression on Xue Lao's face was very serious, making people dare not doubt the truth of what he said, and Gu Ming also felt that Xue Lao was really the kind of person who could do what he said.
The six people, including Gu Ming, listened to Xue Lao's words, but they didn't dare to say anything, and stood honestly to the side, like soldiers waiting for Xue Lao to review.
After a while, Xue Lao might have been satisfied with the performance of the six of them, and continued: "The method of competition for places this time is not the same as the previous one, anyway, I don't care about anything else, I just need to look at your strength." If you feel that you don't have confidence, it's still too late to quit. ”
The six people didn't make a sound, and finally came here, believing that no one would be stupid enough to retreat.
Seeing this, Xue Lao nodded at Mr. Qiao.
Mr. Qiao received a hint from Xue Lao, so he took out a lottery holder from a small room next to him and walked in front of the six people.
"Lots are now drawn." Xue Lao commanded lightly.
Although everyone didn't understand what Xue Lao meant, they didn't dare to ask more, and they all honestly drew a lot from the lottery holder at one time.
Gu Ming and Song Yao stood in the middle, Song Yao drew first, Gu Ming drew later, and Su Ming was the last to draw lots, but when it was his turn, there was only the last lottery left, and it didn't make a difference whether he drew it or not, anyway, the last one was his.
The thing written on the sign is very simple, just a few men, Gu Ming took a closer look and found that what was written on the sign seemed to be the name of the place, and the one in her hand was written on the nameless slope.
Glancing to the side, Gu Ming found that Song Yao's signature was written on Wutong Road.
Gu Ming on Wutong Road had a faint impression, there was a small flower and bird market nearby, she had gone shopping with Bai Fangfang before, but at that time she didn't have any special abilities, and she didn't find anything good after walking around the flower and bird market, so she had to buy a pot of ornamental cacti with Bai Fangfang and go home, which was called radiation protection.
She knew about Wutong Road, but what kind of place was this nameless slope, and why had she never heard of it?
Without waiting for her to think more, Xue Lao spoke again: "Have you all read the words written on the signature clearly?" ”
"See clearly." Everyone replied in unison.
"The words written on the sign are prompts, you go to find them according to the prompts, and if you find the right thing, you will take it back, and I will see if you have passed it at that time." Xue Lao said to everyone.
Gu Ming and the others were stunned, obviously not fully understanding what Xue Lao meant, and the first man to draw lots took the lead in asking, "I don't know what Xue Lao wants us to find?" ”
"If I tell you, can I still let you look for it?" Xue Lao snorted angrily.
The man was snorted by Xue Lao, and immediately shrunk his neck.
Mr. Qiao saw that everyone was still confused, so he said: "The words written on the sign are a hint, and there are other hints, which is the courtyard that asked you to come today." You must know that everyone is learning appraisal, in short, no matter what you are looking for, you can't leave this range. Xue Lao came up with this question, in addition to testing everyone's appraisal ability, what should also be tested is everyone's observation, and an excellent appraiser's observation ability is also extremely strong. ”
After Mr. Qiao said this, everyone understood a lot, and the confusion in their eyes was much less, and at the same time, they began to observe this small courtyard quietly.
"You have three days, gather here at this time in three days, those who find things can come back, if they don't find things, they can come back, or they don't have to come back, in short, three days later, at half past nine in the morning, if you don't use it after the time, even if you come with something you find, I will treat it as if I didn't find something." Xue Lao spoke up again.
Hearing Xue Lao say this, Gu Ming and the others could only respond.
After that, Xue Lao didn't say anything more, and directly announced that he was gone, and then left the small courtyard with Mr. Qiao, leaving only the 6 people who participated in the quota competition, and the birds hanging on the trees in the small courtyard that were chirping in the bird cage.
Xue Lao left, but the rest of the people didn't have the heart to leave, in addition to their respective signs, they also needed to stay to find clues.
The signs are quite simple, and the words written on it are known to be place names at a glance, even if I don't understand what those place names are, I should know when I go back to check later, but the second clue makes people feel a headache.
Not only did other people feel a headache, but Gu Ming also felt a headache, and Xue Lao's pass was also sold a little too much, which made her have no clue at all.
Gu Ming walked around the small courtyard, and couldn't think of what the second hint was, so she walked to the largest tree in the yard and looked at the bird cage hanging on the branch in a daze.
Yard, Tree, Bird......
Gu Ming felt that she was going crazy, please, she studied antique identification, not police detective or anything, why did she make it so complicated!
