Chapter 12: The Devil's Money
At the door of Jinyuan City's heyday auction house, a pair of sisters and brothers snuggled up to each other, as if the world was big, they had nothing but each other.
No matter who leaves whom, they will not survive, and they can only die and leave this cruel world with infinite sorrow.
This is probably the so-called "dependence on each other"!
This pair of pitiful siblings who hugged each other closely, the "elder sister" was about twenty years old, and she looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old.
And the "younger brother" who was hugged by his sister and couldn't move was only eleven or twelve years old at most.
"Sister, how much silver do you think our little gold will be worth if it is sold?"
The younger brother suddenly asked.
My sister, who was obviously much taller than her younger brother, thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but it must be worth a lot of money, the auction house will take 20%, and the rest of the proceeds will be ours, so it must be a lot of money." ”
The younger brother thought for a while, "Then can we afford to eat roast chicken?" ”
My sister smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Yes, when the time comes, we will have silver, not to mention roast chicken, whatever other delicacies you want to eat, sister, I will take you to eat, feast!" ”
When the younger brother heard his sister's words, he was very excited and exclaimed, "Okay, great! ”
The younger brother looked at his sister's face, a little serious, pretending to be a little ghost, and said: "Sister, I don't want to eat any delicacies from the mountains and seas, I just need my sister to buy me a roast chicken, roast duck is okay, we have a big chicken leg each, and we can eat two big bowls of rice!" ”
My sister laughed, "Two big bowls of rice? You're not afraid of bursting your little belly, and sometimes you can't finish a bowl on weekdays. ”
The younger brother smiled shyly a few times, "That's because I'm afraid that I will eat too much, and my sister won't eat enough, so I deliberately eat less, if there is a big chicken leg, let alone two bowls, I can even try three bowls!" ”
The elder sister twisted her brother's nose and said with a smile: "Okay, from now on, I will serve you two large bowls of rice every day, and see if you can finish eating, and see if I can beat your ass if you can't finish eating." ”
The younger brother pursed his mouth, "I'm going to spank again, sister, it's okay if my mother often beat me when she was alive, but now that my mother is dead, how can you beat me instead?" ”
The elder sister gently patted her younger brother on the head with her palm, "What's wrong with beating you?" Originally, according to common sense, he should be a father to beat his son, but our father died early, so my mother will beat you since childhood, and now my mother is also sick and dead, so it's time to change me, how do you say that...... By the way, the son doesn't teach, the relatives are lazy, I am now your only relative in this world, I don't beat you, do you let others beat you? ”
The younger brother was speechless, and was impressed by his sister's sharp teeth, and said in a low voice: "Okay, sister, I swear to be good to you in the future, and when I grow up, I will earn a lot of money for my sister to spend, don't beat me, okay." ”
My sister was noncommittal.
The younger brother suddenly said something, which made my sister's heart ache, like a piece of soft meat being grabbed.
The younger brother lowered his head and whispered: "Sister, you said that you are my only relative in this world, but you are the same, I am also your only relative in this world." ”
After hearing this, my sister's eyes were a little red, she nodded, and hugged her brother's arm tightly, "Good brother, you're right......
At that moment, an extremely inopportune voice came.
Out of the door came a man with a hateful face, dressed in the uniform of the auction house staff, and it was clear at a glance that he was a member of the service of the bank.
The man came to the door, took a look, saw the pair of sisters and brothers, frowned, and opened his voice very dissatisfied: "Hey, where did the two poor ghosts come from, this is the Dingsheng Auction House, and it is also the place where you can come?" Get out, how far is it, how far is it for Lao Tzu! ”
The younger brother trembled in his sister's arms, and it was evident that he was frightened by the man's roar, and the daring of a child was as big as a needle's eye, and he could easily be intimidated.
After all, my sister is almost twenty years old, and she can no longer be as timid and afraid as her younger brother, so she did not choose to stand up, but stiffened her neck and shouted loudly to the man: "Why let us go?" Our stuff is auctioned inside, we are here waiting for the results of the auction, we are not leaving! ”
The man who came out to be in charge of driving people was laughed at angrily, and he laughed to himself for a while, and then glanced at the coarsely dressed sisters and brothers with extremely disdain, and said in a contemptuous tone: "It's really laughing at Lao Tzu, what valuable things can you two have, and you are still qualified to come to our auction house to sell?" Are you a place to collect the rags on our side? It's ridiculous! If you are really a seller, then how can you sit at the door when you should be sitting comfortably in the seat? ”
My sister still responded loudly: "You didn't let my brother and me in, saying that our clothes were too dirty, and it was easy to stain the seats inside, so let us stay outside and wait, and when we sold it, we would take away 20% of the profits, and give us the rest of the silver we sold, don't rush, we will naturally leave when we get the silver!" ”
An angry look appeared on the man's face, and he scolded: "You little girl with a brain that lacks strings, don't you toast and don't eat and drink, and you don't believe that you really have goods to sell in it?" Say, "What are you selling?" ”
My sister thought for a while, tilted her chin and said, "Eleven spirit beasts, very rare and rare kinds!" ”
"Haha, it's funny, then you tell me, what kind of spirit beast are ten?"
The man asked.
My sister said with some hesitation: "I don't know much about this, anyway, it's very rare, I have a horn on my forehead, very beautiful ......"
The man grinned, didn't believe this sister's words, just thought it was interesting, and asked, "Yo, you still have horns, it's a unicorn?" ”
My sister shook her head, "It's not a unicorn, it's small, it's about the size of a cat or a dog." ”
The man didn't have a good temper, so he simply turned his face and scolded sharply: "Okay, okay, Lao Tzu doesn't have time to talk to you here, and he doesn't even know what he wants to sell, so he comes here to deceive people, if you really tell a lie and don't make a draft, the ghost can believe you." ”
The man lifted a kick and kicked his sister in the waist, not very hard, but this time it had already caused my sister to fall.
The younger brother was in his sister's arms, and he had his sister's body as protection, so he was not injured much, but he was not a particularly stupid fool, and he knew that his sister must have fallen a lot.
The younger brother, who was young and small, glared at him and said in a childish voice, "What are you doing?!" Why are you kicking my sister? ”
The man who kicked out the kick sneered a few times, but still did not change his arrogant look of contempt, looked at people with his chin, and said, "What's the matter with kicking you, what can you do to Lao Tzu?" Two poor and sour things, the hunger marks on their faces are so obvious, at a glance, they know that they are the womb of a starving ghost, they deserve to be bullied in this life, get out, hurry up and roll to other places, here you are not allowed to beg for food, you have to daydream and go to other realms to do it, come to this kind of place, the next life! ”
As he spoke, he lifted another leg, but before the frenzied fellow could kick a second kick, suddenly, the man let out an extremely piercing scream.
My sister's eyes widened, and she clearly saw that the man fell to the ground in an instant, holding his right leg with both hands, screaming endlessly, just rolling on the ground vigorously, without stopping!
The younger brother was stunned by this sudden scene, and his little eyes were greatly confused, and a look of horror filled his entire face.
And the elder sister carried the person, completely ignoring the screaming man on the ground, and the youthful eyes of the girl who was less than twenty years old appeared like the warm sun in spring.
I saw two people walking slowly towards this side.
A man and a woman, the woman is small, the appearance is particularly delicate and lovely, a pair of eyes show the color of cherry red, and ordinary people's pupils and eyeballs are very different, very personality and look, although she is short, but just by relying on this pair of eyes, it is enough to make her whole temperament have a huge improvement.
And that man is even more shocking, as soon as people see his appearance, they are dizzy, and they feel that there is a man as extraordinary as Si in the world, which is really a blessing in the world!
My sister, who was dressed in tattered and vulgar clothes, knew that her clothes were not very good-looking, but when she saw the man's clothes with her own eyes at this moment, she was completely ashamed of herself, and felt that she was almost as if she had no clothes on, and even ashamed.
There was no other reason, it was just that the blue robe on that man's body was too gorgeous and vulgar, too beyond human imagination, too ...... Fairy style!
The green robe is painted with a lot of exquisite patterns, each texture, is not inferior to the most proud work of the top craftsman in his life, such a perfect and flawless peerless finished product, not to mention that it is so luxurious to wear once, even if there is a chance to see it with his own eyes once in this life, it can already be said that there is no regret in this life.
The young man in the green robe walked up leisurely with a rather gentle step, and walked in front of the pair of poor brothers and sisters with the little woman in white.
There is no sense of oppression, just standing in front of me, it seems that the spring breeze is blowing, and it seems that the spring flowers of March are floating in front of me.
There was a faint fragrance wafting in, not only an illusion or a reality, but I don't know if the smell came from the man in the green robe, or from the girl in white.
"What's the fuss, I said, are you girls like this? When you see a good-looking son, you like to have straight eyes and don't say anything? ”
The man in the green robe was Ling Zhen, the eldest young master of the Heavenly God Villa, and the short girl in white clothes beside him was Ling Xiaoxiao, the eighth daughter of the Ling family who was a few years older than Ling Zhen.
Ling Xiaoxiao scoffed at her brother's narcissism, and said with a smile: "Brother, please don't be so self-righteous in the future, okay, now you are by my side, if you lose someone, then sister, I will lose it with you!" ”
Ling Zhen ignored his sister's words, and just stared at the poor sour girl with those peach blossom eyes.
The girl's face soon turned red.
Ling Zhen was really funny, it turned out that the girls in the world looked like this, they were all like this, and their little faces were as red as a peach.
If it weren't for Ling Zhen's still a little measured, I was afraid that I really couldn't help but reach out and pinch it a few times to see how it felt.
"You...... Did you save us? ”
The poor sour girl with a blushing face finally lowered her head and asked in a low voice.
Ling Zhen snorted, "That's right, that guy is too much of an eyesore, so I flicked my true qi and broke the man's leg bone." ”
As he spoke, he squinted and looked at the ground.
The man who had just returned his vigor and flaunted his might at the moment, because he couldn't bear the severe pain of his broken leg, his eyes turned white, he fainted, and fell to the ground like a dead dog, which was really happy!
"Thank you......"
The poor sour girl pinched her brother's shoulder, "Hurry up and thank the benefactor." ”
The little brother who had been so frightened that he had two snots hurriedly obeyed his sister's instructions and said to Ling Zhen, "Thank you, benefactor!" ”
Ling Zhen laughed a few times indifferently, "I just saw a wild dog barking wildly, and I couldn't help but knock the dog unconscious, so you don't have to thank me like this." ”
"Benefactor, you ...... What's your last name? ”
The poor girl had never read a book, and she didn't know that when she asked about someone's life in such a situation, she should use the word "your surname", and she used the phrase "what is your surname" very bluntly to ask.
Ling Zhen is not the kind of pedantic sour Confucian, of course he doesn't mind this kind of minutiae, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, he replied: "My name is Ling Zhen, the Ling with two points of water, what about you?" What is it called? ”
The poor sour girl replied, "My name is Xue Hua." ”
She pointed to her younger brother again, "This is my younger brother Xue Cao." ”
Ling Zhen leaned closer, rubbed Xue Cao's little head a few times, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you and your sister, grass is a flower, it's good, the name is good." ”
Xue Cao smiled innocently, tilted his little head, and looked at his eldest brother Ling Zhen, who was much taller than herself, and said: "My mother said, it is easy to feed from a cheap life, and flowers and plants are the most vigorous, and they are not easy to die!" ”
Xue Hua was a little embarrassed, touched the back of her brother's head, and said embarrassedly: "Benefactor, my brother is young and talks nonsense, don't mind." ”
Ling Zhen waved his hand, "Of course, I'm not a person with a small belly, a child, and it never matters." I really think your name is good, especially you, Miss Xue, Xue Hua, Xuehua, tsk, what a good name! ”
The poor sour girl with the homonym of the name "Xuehua" turned crimson again, bowed her head and said, "Thank you for the praise of the benefactor......"
Ling Zhen smiled again, "You don't need to call any benefactor, just call me Ling Gongzi, by the way, I seem to have heard you say just now, staying at this door, are you waiting for your things to be auctioned?" What are you selling? ”
After all, it is a prosperous auction house, and its reputation is not small in the northern land, and as we all know, the things that can be auctioned in it are definitely the best of the best, and can even be classified as "super high".
This pair of poor and sour siblings, who seem to have a hard time even having enough to eat, what can they take out and sell inside? It's really curious.
"It's a spirit beast, left by my mother, called Xiaojin."
Little brother Xue Cao said very excitedly.
Ling Zhen laughed a few times, and felt that this was the case, so he said: "Let me guess, it must be a small and delicate little guy that can be kept as a pet, right?" ”
Xue Cao nodded heavily.
Ling Zhen also nodded, feeling that it should be so, if it was a large foreign beast, the two of them would definitely not have the ability to raise it, so he asked again: "What kind of spirit beast is it?" ”
Xue Cao scratched his head, thought about it vigorously, and finally could only shake his head, and said, "I don't know, Xiao Jin has a horn on the top of his head, and the gold is shining all over his body, but it's beautiful!" ”
At this moment, Ling Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted in shock: "Demon Transformation...... The top seller of this auction is actually your family?! ”
