I hesitated to tell the truth, but Yan Shiting on the side spoke first,
"Uncle Qin, Xiao Yu actually doesn't understand antiques. He just wants you to take him to see the world. Jiangcheng is so big and Master Huo is low-key, so he wants to gain a foothold in this circle. He especially needs a big shot like you.
support."
I was stunned, wondering where Yan Shiting was talking about?
But Qin Jiu on the side showed a rare smile,
"Haha... I'm just an antique dealer, how can I be considered a big shot? Besides, Xiaolin has the support of your Yan family in Jiangcheng, does he still need me?"
"How can our Yan family compare with Uncle Qin's family... Just promise Xiao Yu and send him an invitation."
Qin Jiu didn't say anything to Yan Shiting, but turned to look at me, as if his eagle eyes could see through me.
"Xiao Lin, tell me the truth, why do you want the invitation? I'm afraid it's not just to gain experience at the auction, right?"
I scratched my head in embarrassment and simply revealed my purpose. Yan Shiting on the side pulled me several times, but failed to hold me back, and finally gave up.
After listening, Qin Jiu frowned,
"White House South...it turns out to be him."
"You know him?!" I said in surprise.
Qin Jiu waved his hand,
"I don't even know him. He came to visit me specifically when he first came to Jiangcheng half a year ago. This person acts secretly and never shows his true face. When he came to see me at that time, he was still wearing a mask. I also sent someone to secretly
I investigated him but couldn't find any useful information."
"Can't even find you?" Yan Shiting couldn't believe it.
"Hmm... And to tell you the truth, the items being auctioned this time are exactly the items brought by the White House South, and this is the only one."
Yan Shiting's eyes widened when she heard this.
"You...you mean...he reserved the space in Tianyu Building?!"
Qin Jiu nodded heavily.
"Is it unusual to reserve a place? Just pay me..." I whispered.
Qin Jiu shook his head. Just when he was about to explain something to me, a soft hum suddenly came from the bed next to him. The three of us turned our heads at the same time and found that Qin Xiaoxiao's eyelids moved, and then slowly opened her eyes.
eyes.
"Xiaoxiao!"
Qin Jiu called out excitedly, then turned to me and said:
"Xiao Lin, I will deliver the invitation to you, and you will be my honored guest then!"
I thanked him excitedly. Knowing that he had to take care of his daughter, I took Yan Shiting and left first.
I should be happy that the thing was done, but I don't know why on the way back to Yinhun Hall, I was always restless and my palms were sweating.
"What's wrong with you?" Yan Shiting noticed something was wrong with me.
"No...nothing. How have you been doing lately? Do you still have Yu Jue with you?"
"I'm taking it with me, I won't leave it for a moment..."
I nodded and said nothing...
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the intersection of Coffin Stop Old Street. After getting off the car, I turned around and told Yan Shiting:
“Recently, I try not to go to places with few people, including temples and scenic spots.”
"What's wrong? Will something happen?" Yan Shiting's face turned pale.
"No... I'm just a little flustered, and I don't know why. Anyway, just listen to me. My mobile phone is on 24 hours a day. If anything happens, remember to contact me as soon as possible."
"Oh, I see."
After watching Bentley leave my sight, I turned around and walked in the direction of the Soul-Yearing Hall. However, far away, I vaguely saw a person lying at the door of the Soul-Yearing Hall...
Now is the time when the sun is scorching, and this man is lying motionless in the sun. I feel anxious, and I quickly walk a few steps to the man's side.
"Hey...hey, wake up!"
While I called him, I turned his body over, but when I turned him over, I felt stupid.
"Lao Yutou?!" I exclaimed.
The skin all over Lao Yutou's body was dry and wrinkled. It was obvious that he had not touched water for several days, and there was a large stain of blood around his mouth, which looked a little oozing.
I didn't have time to think so much, so I picked him up and rushed into the Hall of Leading Souls.
Maybe he felt the yang energy in me. As soon as he walked in and put Lao Yu's head on the bed, Ye Qing got out of the gloomy wooden box.
She was also surprised when she saw Lao Yutou's condition.
"What's going on here?!"
"have no idea…"
I responded, found a big wooden bucket from the backyard, filled it with water, and then put Lao Yutou directly into the wooden bucket. Because he was unconscious now and could not turn into an old turtle by himself, so I could only
I temporarily lent him the wooden bucket that his master used to bathe in to replenish his water.
During this period, I tried to wake him up several times, but he never responded, which made me feel impatient.
Ye Qing stared at Lao Yutou's face for a long time and suddenly said:
"Open his mouth and see!"
I was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and stepped forward to gently open Lao Yu's mouth. As a result, Ye Qing and I were stunned at the sight!
I saw a bloody thing in Lao Yutou's mouth. Before I could see clearly what it was, I discovered that a piece of his tongue was missing!
There was a "buzzing" sound in my head, and I felt a numbness from my scalp to my feet, and I almost collapsed on the ground.
After waiting for a long time, I squeezed out a few words through my teeth,
"Who did this...who did this?!!!"
Ye Qing on the side also had a face full of horror, but she was calmer than me.
"See what he has in his mouth?"
I took out the thing from Lao Yu's mouth with trembling hands. It was a piece of rag stained red with blood. It seemed like something was wrapped inside. I slowly unfolded the rag and found that inside was the cut half of Lao Yu's head.
The tongue fell off, and there were a few words written on the inside of the rag...
My hands started to shake. I straightened the rag and looked at the few words on it.
