Then, under the leadership of Mu Haisen, the three of them walked out of the open area, turned onto a small road, walked along the rugged road, and walked for a while before arriving at the gate of the manor.

The gate is simple and looks like a normal farmhouse, nothing out of the ordinary. There are no stone lions on either side of the door that symbolize status, let alone well-dressed security guards, and some, just a few lazy-looking men, sitting together chatting and fart, seemingly indifferent to everything around them.

The surroundings are nice, there is no noise of the city and no smell of car exhaust on the road. The mountain flowers are still brilliant at this time, and the bursts of fragrance are coming, which makes people feel refreshed and happy. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, feeling everything now, Wu Hou has a feeling of returning to the countryside, which is somewhat similar to the mountains of his grandmother's house.

The three of them walked to the door and came to several men, but did not attract attention. Wu Hou saw that they didn't ask, so he planned to bypass a few people and enter directly, but Mu Haisen grabbed him, shook his head, and gestured to the men next to him.

"How many people, are you chatting?" Mu Haisen smiled humbly and greeted a few men.

A few people looked at Mu Haisen and the three of them, and someone knew Mu Haisen, so they replied: "Yo, is Lao Mu here? It's a little late this year." ”

"Haha, it's not too late, it's not too late, it's not just time for dinner. This year, I brought two friends to open my eyes, and I picked them up halfway, so I walked a little more. ”

A few men glanced at Wu Hou and Duanmu Shenjiu, and waved his hand for the man who called Mu Haisen Lao Mu just now: "Go in, go in, by the way, there are a few chandeliers in the lobby that are broken, you can fix them after eating." ”

Mu Haisen nodded, gave a few people cigarettes, and said attentively: "Okay, okay, I'll go and fix it." After speaking, he took Wu Hou and Duanmu Shenjiu and walked into the gate of the manor.

After entering, bypassing a fountain at the door, and walking to the bamboo forest on the left, Mu Haisen and Wu Hou said: "Don't look at how lazy they look, in fact, they are all Gu Jiajie's right-hand men, all of them are excellent in martial arts, especially the one who takes the lead, and the means are more powerful." You didn't walk in directly just now, otherwise, he would have to slap you out and roll around a few times. ”

Wu Hou pursed his lips and said in disbelief: "Knock me out and roll around a few times, I think it's a little hanging." ”

Mu Haisen said as he walked: "Didn't I mean that, why are you still more serious." ”

Wu Hou smiled, stepped forward and asked Mu Haisen, "Hey, Brother Sen, why do you think you are so humble?"

Mu Haisen stretched out his hand and pulled down a bamboo leaf, put it to his mouth, and said helplessly: "What's the way, little man, no money and no power, and he is not a martial arts master, so he must not be lowered to seek perfection?"

Wu Hou couldn't understand the meaning of Mu Haisen's words, at this time, he had not yet experienced the suffering of the world and did not understand the darkness of society. After listening to Mu Haisen's words, Wu Hou felt that he was angry in his heart, it was a matter of face, if it was himself, he would never be angry to please others. So he was about to say a few words again, but Duanmu Shenjiu interrupted him with a voice.

"Wu Hou, this is the way of life, you are still young, you can't understand many things, I have to learn more from your brother Sen in the future. Duanmu Shenjiu attached his hands, walked leisurely in the bamboo forest, and whispered a few words to Wu Hou.

"You must know that there are many things that cannot be taught to you by a teacher. You have no father since you were a child, and you are treated as a child as a teacher, but unfortunately you have never had a child as a teacher, and you don't know the way of raising children, so many things, as a teacher, you also know a little about it, and you have to learn from the ordinary people who have read all kinds of red dust. ”

Mu Haisen smiled heartily and said freely: "What do you learn, you will understand it when you grow up, and now in this world, it is simple, simple, and complex, in fact, it is simpler than thousands of years ago." Nowadays, all the people are enlightened, their minds have been emancipated, and they pay more attention to freedom of speech, so even the homeless people at the bottom have their own set of Taoism. People are different from people, some people are born to be kings, and some people are born to be people. But no matter what, you must have your own way, you must do something, and you must not do something. You must also be able to know right from wrong, know good and evil, stick to your own standards in the crowd, and you can't exceed the rules, but in the face of the dark side of society, you can't be silent, you say yes. ”

Duanmu Shenjiu smiled and nodded, and said happily: "Yes, that's the case. ”

Wu Hou said impatiently: "You say this, I understand." ”

"The truth is understood, but whether you can understand the meaning or not, you don't know. Duanmu Shenjiu stretched out his hand and threw away the bamboo leaf in his hand, stopped speaking, and moved forward silently.

The three of them walked out of the bamboo forest and came to a pond. The pond was excavated by hand, so the shape is regular, the shoreline is uniform, and marble columns are erected, and the pillars are connected to each other by iron chains. There are also wooden stakes erected in the pond, scattered in the water, revealing a cut of canvas at the top.

At this time, around the pond, there was a lot of people, and it was very lively, because on the wooden stake in the pond, there were two people learning martial arts. There are business people in suits and leather shoes by the pond, and there are also people in Hanfu. Some people who look like people in the rivers and lakes still have a sword hanging from their waists, and those who don't have a sword are paired with a piece of jade pendant hanging on their waists, in short, they are dressed up, like the ancients.

Looking at those people, Mu Haisen smiled: "A group of pretending ghosts, thinking that this will attract attention and climb into a wealthy family?"

Wu Hou was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

Mu Haisen nodded at a few pretending people over there, and explained: "Like those few, those who are knowledgeable, you can see at a glance, they don't have any skills, but they are dressed like a master of the rivers and lakes, thinking that in this way they can get the favor of some rich people, please enter the house, and then be prosperous and rich all their lives, it's just a dream." ”

After a pause, he continued: "But there are also masters, last year, there was a fellow practitioner who was selected by a boss in the Northeast and offered an annual salary of millions to be a bodyguard." ”

Hearing the million annual salary, Wu Hou's eyes widened and said, "Wow!

Mu Haisen smiled when he heard this: "That's for sure, as long as you are good enough and willing to serve those wealthy gentlemen, a million annual salary is not a dream." ”

Wu Hou swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice: "Well, indeed, in that case, you won't have to look for a job after graduation." But that's still a fart school, why don't you just make a name for yourself?"

Duanmu Shenjiu slapped Wu Hou's head and reprimanded: "Shut up, it's outrageous!"

Wu Hou touched his aching head and said aggrievedly: "Master, what are you beating me for, aren't I also here to make money, otherwise we will eat and drink, it will be difficult to buy a new dress during the New Year's holidays, you have no job, and you can't make money, and I have to support you..."

Duanmu Shenjiu glared and asked, "You mean, I've dragged you down for the teacher, haven't you?"

Wu Hou hurriedly shook his head again and said, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that." Isn't that more about thinking about life..."

At this time, it seems that this young man knows how to be diligent and thrifty, and knows that it is better to go out and make a fortune at home.

Duanmu Shenjiu snorted, but what Wu Hou said made sense, so he didn't speak again.

One of the two people who fought in the pond accidentally made a move, was hit by the other party, and was thrown into the water, turned into a soup chicken, and swam to the shore wet. The victorious one, standing on the stake, turned his hand around, but had no intention of leaving.

Then, under the gazebo not far away, someone shouted with a megaphone: "Who else is willing to come out and learn from this hero? Now that the price has risen, if anyone wins, 5,000 will become 10,000, and the prize will be doubled!"

After listening to this, Mu Haisen said with a smile: "It turned out to be a competition, hehe, it's also a good way." ”

"What do you mean?" Wu Hou leaned over and asked again.

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at a few people under the pavilion, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and looked like a rich lord.

Mu Haisen also pointed to a few people under the pavilion and told Wu Hou: "Those people, they should be rich bosses, who temporarily organized this competition, and then took out some money from between their fingers to attract people to participate in the competition, and wanted to find some martial artists with good skills." ”

"In other words, if you win, you will get money?" Wu Hou's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly: "Why don't I try it?"

"What are you doing here, are you here to play?" Mu Haisen glanced at Wu Hou.

Then Mu Haisen, with Wu Hou and Duanmu Shenjiu, came to the place to eat. There are many guests today, and the meals prepared here are also sufficient, there are lunch boxes and chopsticks on the table, and dozens of meals are displayed not far away, which looks like they are full of color, flavor and flavor.

Mu Haisen picked up a lunch box and said, "If you don't eat for nothing, you don't want money anyway, let's go, eat something." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu also picked up a lunch box and followed behind Mu Haisen, preparing to get some food. Wu Hou, who was standing at the end, was indifferent, looked at the two people holding the lunch box, shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, so I won't eat." ”

"Hey, you kid, don't you eat anything, there's still wine over there, Moutai! It's also free!" Mu Haisen looked at the cabinet not far away.

Wu Hou still shook his head, handed the money bag in his hand to Duanmu Shenjiu, and said, "You guys eat, I'll go out for a walk." With that, he left.

Watching Wu Hou walk out of the restaurant, Mu Haisen was helpless, and looked at Duanmu Shenjiu and said, "Don't eat, forget it, if you don't eat, we'll eat, I'm hungry, what about you?"

Duanmu Shenjiu nodded with a smile, took another bowl and said, "Get some soup, I'm thirsty." ”

"Hehe, pay attention, don't drink soup when eating, and pull the crotch of your pants. Mu Haisen also picked up a bowl.

The two of them fetched food and soup, found a booth by the wall, and sat down. Mu Haisen sniffed the fragrance of the vegetables with his nose, and said intoxicatedly: "Well, fragrant, it seems that it was made by the chef of a star-rated hotel." Oh yes, some drinks?"

Duanmu Shenjiu shook his head slightly, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. Mu Haisen said enthusiastically: "Drink some, let's have some red wine, have a few drinks, it's not intoxicating." Then he got up, went to get a bottle of wine, and poured a glass for both.

Duanmu Shenjiu didn't refuse, and together with Mu Haisen, he picked up the goblet, touched it decently, and tasted it carefully. After tasting it, he smashed his mouth, shook his head and said, "This wine, it's not good." ”

Mu Haisen glared at him and asked, "Oh my God, this bottle is tens of thousands!"

Duanmu Shenjiu was shocked: "It's just tens of thousands of yuan, it's not worth it." But this proprietor is really generous, such a precious wine, all of which are used for people to drink for free. ”

"That is, people are not short of money, they want a reputation, so everything here is provided for free, otherwise why would so many people want to come here. ”

Mu Haisen looked at the rest of the wine in the bottle, let alone drinking it on weekdays, he didn't even look at it very much, and thought to himself, no, I have to finish it. So he drank a sip from his cup and poured himself another glass.

"After eating, I'll fix the lamp, you give me a hand and help me down the ladder. ”

Duanmu Shenjiu snorted, his face was expressionless, but he was thinking in his heart, am I going to give people a ladder?

He opened his mouth and asked an inexplicable sentence, "Are there many people in your family?"

Mu Haisen was eating food happily, and after listening to Duanmu Shenjiu's inexplicable question, he replied vaguely, "Many, my family courtyard is big, and a fellow ancestor must have more than 100 people, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, just ask. ”

"Come, drink. Duanmu Shenjiu took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, took a sip, and said inexplicably, "Such a big family, it's really hard for you." ”

Mu Haisen, who was drinking, only felt that this Duanmu Shenjiu was strange, and he was afraid that he would be hot and undressed himself, and he asked how many people in his family there were, and he even said that it was hard. It's really a weirdo who can't figure it out, Mu Haisen thought to himself.

In one of the courtyards of the manor, several people were busy, counting the items to be auctioned tonight.

"Ruyi pot, the starting price is 200,000. ”

"The three-piece set of old Huanghuali circle chairs, the starting price is 300,000 yuan. ”

"Beauty picture, the starting price is 500,000. Well, it's really a beauty picture, this woman is just beautiful. ”

"Thousands of workers pull out the bed, and the starting price is two million. ”

"A pair of moonlight cups, the starting price is two million. ”

......

A few people who counted the objects took out a piece of wood more than four feet long, black and worn. The beautiful host, who was about to preside over tonight's auction, frowned and said, "What is this? Dirty, this is also for auction?"

She reached out to pick up the wood, but it was too heavy to pick it up, so she climbed down and looked left and right.

"What the hell, a piece of broken wood, not even a price tag. ”

The people around him explained: "This was sent by those tomb robbers in the north, saying that they could sell it for some money, and you also know that Mr. Gu is good at making friends, so he agreed." ”

The beautiful hostess took a few steps back and cursed: "What a dead man's thing? ”

So he wrote in the notebook, "A piece of old wood, the starting price is 200,000." ”
