In less than a moment, a figure slowly walked out of the screen wall. It was obvious from her figure that she was a woman.
In the capital, there is only one woman I know and Xiaohua also knows, and she is the one I least want to see.
I just stood there, not knowing whether to follow Xiaohua directly into the attic hall or what to do.
The first feeling Xiuxiu gave me this time was that she has grown up.
I can't find the childishness in her anymore. Now Huo Xiuxiu's original hair is gone, replaced by short silk just above the ears, and a tight black leather jacket wraps her up in an orderly manner. , she walked very fast without making any sound.
Capable, this is my first impression.
"Why did you go out wearing night clothes?", I said this casually.
"Wu Xie, hello." This was Huo Xiuxiu's greeting.
"You...you are still blaming me. In fact...you know that in that situation...", the atmosphere was very awkward, I said intermittently.
"No need to talk about that, I understand.", she said calmly, with no expression in her eyes.
"Still angry with me? You didn't even add me as brother, just changed your name to Wu Xie.", I said hoping to break the embarrassment.
"I'm here to discuss business. Once the business is settled, you can call me husband." She suddenly glared at me, put her face close to my arm and said to me.
"I heard that the mask is very difficult to take off. Have you really pierced all the pores? Then won't you become a father-in-law in the future? No more beard? Let's go, fake third uncle, you have such an old arm You old man, I'll help you in." She grabbed my chin and said with a tut.
I was sweating all over my forehead, and I didn’t know which form was the real Huo Xiuxiu now.
The pavilion is very elegantly decorated, and the nurse is making tea for us. To our surprise, black glasses are standing in a corner, holding a straw stalk in his mouth, facing Xiuxiu and me with his arms folded. giggle.
"Yu Ci, you are here too." Huo Xiuxiu let go of my arm, walked slowly to the tea table, and sat on Xiaohua's right hand side.
Yu Ci, Jie Yu Ci. This is the black glasses in front of me.
Black Glasses looked at Xiuxiu and whispered: "The boss said there are girls to watch tonight, so he asked me to wait here."
"I'm not going to argue with you until I find out whether you are older or me." Xiuxiu said without giving up.
"To make a long story short, it was actually Xiu Xiu who discovered the ring this time. She once saw someone in Banai handing a pair of very similar rings to the foreigner, and the sketch in the sketch book for this auction Xiuxiu said that this ring resembled the bigger one of the pair, so she drew a picture and asked the mistress to look at it." Xiaohua said slowly.
Shall I take care of you? Although I dug out the two ancient rings in the backpack of the comatose oil bottle, I didn't have time to take a closer look. If Xiuxiu said it looked like the one in the picture, the corpse I saw also looked similar. This... my mind is a little confused, why do so many rings appear all at once? Or is this ring one of the pairs Judekao got?
No matter which one it may be, I have to get it. I believe that Jude has played a long life to get it, and something that is satisfying when he gets it must be crucial to the clue.
"When will the auction start?", I looked at Xiuxiu.
"Tomorrow at noon, at the Crescent Hotel." Xiuxiu looked at me with a half-smile and said.
"Crescent Hotel?" This is a place name that gives me a headache just thinking about it.
When there was a big fuss about New Moon and the smallpox of Liuli Sun, who would have thought that it would cause such a big trouble, but now, this thing is placed there, like a greedy child, and it is delicious. It is placed on the table, but if you move it, you will have to whip it.
Xiaohua was having fun, and the black glasses next to her were also smiling weirdly. I felt like they were holding back my joke.
"Are you going or not? Otherwise, I will buy you another bottle of Erguotou to strengthen your courage tomorrow morning? My fake third uncle." Xiu Xiu also started to laugh.
"Go, why don't you go? I didn't kill anyone, break the law, steal women, or abduct children. I'm just aboveboard. If you really want to be blocked and can't get out, I still don't believe that you all will die without saving me." , I kept my mouth shut.
"Don't, I'm really afraid that you will appear in this world. Liuli Sun has been looking for you for more than a day or two. Xinyue's affairs have been cleared up long ago. Liu Li Sun is not easy to deal with. The older the old man is, the more stingy he becomes. . You, just get a simple mask tomorrow and it won’t be too eye-catching. But if you want to be safe and not eye-catching, you really can’t go by yourself." Xiu Xiu said slowly, with a playful Beijing movie flavor. Just came out.
"And you can't go with me. Now let my two trouble-free brothers know that I have a leader like you in my camp. Obviously, it will only hinder but not help things in the future.", Xiuxiu Said wryly.
"Since he is here," I casually pointed to the black glasses named Jie Yuci.
"So, you are planning to let me and Black Glasses go into the Crescent Moon and sit aside, and then Xiuxiu and you will lead someone as another force, so that both parties can adapt to the situation? How do I feel about this auction? Are you worried?" I said with doubt.
"The ground in the capital has been a little uneven recently, and it's a bit chaotic. As I said, several old monsters who were dealing with people suddenly appeared in the market. This is unusual, as if they are looking for something, and it's not just us. Realizing this, even Liu Lisun has restrained himself a lot recently. At the same time, his associates have also recently inquired about whether there are any big deals coming to the market in the Four-Nine City." Xiaohua said intermittently.
I am not very familiar with the antique shops in Beijing. Apart from a few familiar names such as Liulichang, Panjiayuan, and Baoguo Temple, I know almost nothing about it. Facing the market conditions of antique shops in Beijing and Shanghai, I, a shopkeeper in Hangzhou, Being a boss is like sitting in a well and looking at the sky. In this regard, my second uncle and my third uncle, even the fat man, are far apart.
At the same time, Xiaohua and Xiuxiu knew that this ancient ring might cause a lot of trouble, so why did they stand up to help me? , although the friendship between Laojiu Sect was broken and connected, it has been passed down to our generation. Especially after the great changes decades ago, we no longer have that kind of comradeship between us. Here, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. I know this very well, and I began to have doubts in my heart.
"Our two families also sent out people to inquire, but found nothing. Except for a few strange paintings of Bada Shanren, there was nothing worth taking a second look at. However, Bada Shanren's paintings would not make these people go to war. So, we are also at a loss.", Xiu Xiu continued.
"Wait a minute. Tomorrow's Crescent Hotel will come according to your plan, but before that, I want to know, Xiuxiu, what did you mean by talking about business when you came in? What if those old monsters It is also this ancient ring that you are targeting. You brought me here to compete with others for money. Obviously compared to you, I have no money and no bargaining chips. Obviously, you have to invest in both financial and human resources. So, , what do you hope to get from this ancient ring?". I interrupted their narrative and put my questions directly on the table.
After experiencing the past events and meditating on them for several months, I have changed a lot of my personality. I can clearly see that the result of letting others manipulate me is either no bones left, or in the end, others will tell you one, two, three, four. No matter it's Uncle San, Xiao Hua, Jie Lian Lian or Ren Ren, in the end, you will always be the one who can only listen.
Actually, "obeying" is in line with my original character. I am not proactive. This is who I am. But now, I want to be independent. In the past, I was dreaming about finding my third uncle or others. Curve to find the truth of things, so now, I want to face all the facts directly through myself.
Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled.
"Brother Wu Xie, you have changed. Haha, in this case, I can tell you the truth. The condition of the deal is that I want to enter the Banai Ancient Tower with you." Xiuxiu stared at me and said her purpose .
