Next, the two of us discussed the specific details, including the price and order of the bones. Originally, I was planning to follow Zhongnan's instructions, but suddenly I received a call from a fat man.
The fat man called me because he was worried about my safety after telling him about the inability to transform into bones, so he gave me a message.
The fat man said that this was a Ziwei fight, and then gave me a number of 49, saying that this number might be beneficial to me.
The last time I took a plane, Fatty gave me a similar crape myrtle trick. Thanks to him, I was able to save my life on the plane.
So this time when the fat man said this number, I was naturally very concerned.
But what does this number represent? Both of us were a little confused. After asking each other a few words, the fat man told me to think about it carefully and then hung up the phone.
"49...?"
I kept repeating this number, as if it had nothing to do with me.
"49, what 49?" Zhong Lan asked.
I didn't hide anything, so I told her the content of the phone call just now.
"Is there such a thing? What a coincidence, right?" Zhong Lan was slightly startled.
"What's wrong?" I thought. It seemed like she knew something.
Zhong Lan took out her phone and looked at it, "There are a total of 48 items in the auction this time. If you include yours, there are exactly 49 items. Do you think this is what you mean?"
"Really. Is there such a coincidence?"
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, just take a look."
Zhong Lan handed over her cell phone. There was a form on the phone, which was the list of items for this auction, no more, no less, exactly 48 items.
My eyes lit up instantly. There is no such coincidence in this world. If you include my item that was temporarily added to the auction, wouldn’t it be exactly 49?
This is definitely not an inevitable coincidence. It seems that this number corresponds to the auction sequence, and there is no mistake.
But this means that this piece of non-transformable bone must be auctioned on No. 49.
"Can I be the last one to be auctioned?" I asked.
Zhong Lan's face showed a hint of worry, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Although it is against the rules to change the final items, there are indeed some, but don't worry, leave this matter to me, I guarantee that it will be the 49th auction item." Zhong Lan said firmly.
When I looked at Zhonglan, I suddenly felt a little complicated.
"Thanks!"
Zhong Lan's eyebrows trembled slightly, "Will you also say thank you to me?"
"To be honest, you have helped me a lot in this matter, and it is only right for me to say thank you."
"No need, you saved me yesterday, so we are even!" Zhong Lan said.
"One code equals one code. I owe you a favor for this matter. If you can use it in the future, just speak up and let you know. I will try my best."
Zhong Lan nodded and changed the subject, "Is it possible that if something takes action, the monster won't come to you?"
I shook my head with regret, "I don't know, but I don't think it's that simple."
"Then what are your plans next?"
"Hey! The rest is just a matter of taking one step at a time."
Zhong Lan looked at the bones in his hand, with a look of worry on his face, "Then why did the monster come to you? Did you provoke him?"
I nodded, "Yes, I took his things and he won't let me go."
Zhong Lan was silent.
After a while, she suddenly raised her head and looked at me and asked a strange question.
"Zhang Jiuyang, if I die one day, will you miss me?"
"Ah? What do you mean?" I was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.
"Nothing, I just asked casually. It's time, you go have lunch first and wait for my news!"
After saying this, Zhong Lan hid the bones and left without hesitation with a cold face.
Watching her back disappear at the elevator entrance, I still haven't come back to my senses. What did she mean by what she said just now? Why is this woman so angry all of a sudden?
Zhong Lan was very efficient in doing things. While we were having lunch, he had already received his message. The matter had been completed and he gave me a brief description of the process.
This boneless rib was successfully auctioned as the 49th auction item. She also made a document and personally delivered it to Xiaori.
The other party was obviously very excited. Although she didn't say anything, Zhong Lan said that she had observed the micro-expressions during these little days, and it was a kind of fanatical excitement, especially the uncontrollable eyes, which could not be hidden no matter how hard she tried.
After reading this information, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, because of this incident, I had to give up the idea of going to see my mother, because the auction was about to start, and many people were already heading towards the second floor.
The rest of us were not in a hurry to enter. After waiting for a while and seeing that the 6th floor was basically empty, we set off for the negative 2nd floor.
When I arrived on the second floor, I discovered that the so-called auction house was different from what I had imagined.
The lighting on the entire negative 2nd floor is dim, and it has nothing to do with luxury. It does have the atmosphere of an underground black market.
Standing here, I can feel the constant impact of yin and yang on the entire negative 2 level, which means that there really is something coming from below.
All the design core revolves around the auction stage in the middle. The circular stage is located at the bottom of the entire auction room, and the surrounding fan-shaped stage is divided into small single rooms one after another. No seat is a screw.
When exposed, it looks a bit like the Colosseum in ancient Rome.
The few of us were originally divided into two rooms. Tongshan and Elder Tang shared a room, while the little dumb little fox and I were in a separate room. But before I entered the door, I saw the father and son looking frowning, and my heart suddenly moved.
, recalling the corners of the mouth of the Tang Sect members before, they immediately began to guess that these two people should not have much confidence in their own funds.
"Mr. Tang, how about we share a room? You are my predecessor, so you can help me, my junior, gain some knowledge." I asked with a smile.
Old Man Tang smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's go together. If you don't have enough money for anything then, tell me. Old man, I still have some savings."
I felt funny in my heart, but I nodded and said thank you. Just as I was about to enter the room, I heard a familiar voice from behind.
"Brother, has everything been resolved? They didn't cause trouble for you, did they?"
I looked back and saw that it was Lao Zhu and Mr. Wan walking over.
And behind him, I saw a familiar young man, the same young man who went to the Buddhist shop to renew the shrine.
It seems that my previous guess was correct, Lao Zhu is indeed the descendant of that person, so everything is logical, and at the same time, I can't help but feel awe in my heart.
"Brother Zhu, it's all solved. Thank you for your concern." I said with a smile.
"That's good, if you encounter any trouble, just tell me, you're welcome!" Lao Zhu said cheerfully.
"Thank you, Brother Zhu. I will definitely come to you if I need anything."
At this time, Old Man Wan suddenly walked up and looked behind me.
"Jiuyang, where is your wife?"
"Oh, she didn't come because of something."
When Old Man Wan heard this, a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face, and he sighed softly.
"Oh, it's a pity. When I was in the Northeast, I asked her to grow my eyes. My old eyes are dim, hey..."
"Mr. Wan, why are you sighing? Although Miss Hu didn't come, isn't Master Zhang here? We can't buy medicinal materials, so we can buy some other things. He is an expert in this field." Mr. Nan patted me.
The shoulder comforted.
Lao Zhu suddenly realized, "If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot, this brother of mine is an expert!"
As he said that, he turned to look at me, "Brother, do you want to share a room with me?"
"Brother Zhu, I have already agreed with Mr. Tang that we are in the same room."
"That's it!"
Lao Zhu nodded, then looked at Elder Tang and Tongshan, "Elder Tang, I have a gracious invitation. I wonder if I can share a room with you?"
Um?
I thought, with Lao Zhu's current status, he can naturally enjoy a room with higher treatment, why does he have to stay with us?
