Chapter 11 Searching for Information

Because it is not the peak season, there are not many people on the train. I guess if Kong Xue really wants to go to the auction, she will definitely take this train.

I walked through the carriages one by one, carefully looking at the passengers on both sides, and searching for Kong Xue's figure.

Sure enough, after I walked through the four cars, I was in a seat by the window, and a beautiful pretty face was facing the window.

I smiled and sat opposite Kong Xue, "Is there anyone who is beautiful girl? Can I sit here?"

Kong Xue looked outside the window without moving her eyes, and said impatiently: "So many empty seats, wherever she likes to sit!" It seems that she often encounters such conversations.

I remained silent and continued, "What if I would be willing to sit here?"

Kong Xue frowned, "Hey, I'm saying you're annoying..." Kong Xue said halfway through the words, and when she looked up, she saw me, her expression froze, she was stunned for a moment, then she smiled, "Why are you here?"

"Oh," I sighed, "I am a man, I have accepted my fate too! It seems that I can't avoid these things anymore! Do whatever you want!"

Kong Xue smiled slightly, "Not as serious as you think. You can't have rice dumplings at auction!"

"Is that true?" I turned my head out the window and watched the scenery outside slowly move backwards, and the speed was getting faster and faster! Every time I always felt that things were under our control, but every time the ending was beyond our expectations. I always struggled on the verge of life and death, I was really afraid of this kind of intimate contact with the god of death.

More than an hour later, the train stopped. Kong Xue and I walked out of the station. We knew from that magazine that the auction started the day after tomorrow, but we thought it would be better to inquire in advance.

Kong Xue asked me: "Do you want to call my second uncle?"

I shook my head, "Forget it, since Uncle Second deliberately wants to hide it from us, I see it will be useless if we fight. Anyway, I will definitely see it at the auction the day after tomorrow. Then you can adapt to the situation!"

Kong Xue nodded, "That's better we go directly to the auction venue later! Check out the spots in advance. I remember that in the middle school entrance examination, I always looked at the examination hall in advance."

The situation seems different in the middle school entrance examination? The college entrance examination? But I still agreed, "Okay, then go and have a look!"

Because we were unfamiliar with the location, we decided to take a taxi and go directly. As soon as we got on the bus, we told the driver to go to Rongchang Auction House.

Hearing our words, the driver was stunned for a moment, and then started the car, "Are you going to the auction?" The driver looked at us and asked.

"Ah, I accidentally heard that it was a big auction tomorrow, so I wanted to go over and take a look." I replied casually.

The driver suddenly laughed after hearing what I said.

I looked a little strange, "Master, why are you laughing? Is there anything wrong?"

The driver smiled and shook his hand, "No, you two are quite young, probably not people in the circle, right? I tell you both that tomorrow's auction will definitely be the best in the industry, and those who can be invited to participate are the most numerous people in the circle."

Kong Xue and I were a little surprised, but we didn't expect that this auction would be so tall and outstanding.

Looking at our hesitant faces, the driver continued, "So I said, if you two are looking at the viewing attitude and preparing to go, don't waste your time. You can't get in. There is an old man in our alley who has been spending most of his life on antiques. He is also well-known in our area. He operated more than a month in advance and wanted to participate in this auction, but he failed!"

Kong Xue and I looked at each other. If we run from afar, we will not lose money. In addition, the higher the specifications of this auction, the more strict the protection will arouse our interest.

The taxi took us straight to the west mountain, and we were walking around the mountain road for nearly an hour before we stopped.

The driver pointed to a gate next to him and said, "Okay, it's here."

After I paid the car, the driver gave me a business card, "If you can't get a taxi in this place, if you can't go back, call me!" It's such a good Chinese driver, and I thought so thoughtfully, I quickly thanked me.

After the driver left, we turned our heads and looked at the gate in front of us. The door was built on nine steps, with gray tiles and white walls, tall gate towers, carved beams and painted roads, and ancient flavor. In addition, the surrounding pines and cypresses are surrounded by mountains, which really looks extraordinary. A plaque is hung on the huge vermilion gate with three big words written on it: Rongchang Pavilion!

I couldn't help but be surprised. This place is indeed unusual. As the saying goes, wine is not afraid of the deep alley, but this "alley" is so deep that it is rarely visited. If it weren't for the "peerless wine", I'm afraid it wouldn't have attracted so many big shots. I suddenly looked forward to tomorrow's auction.

But now a very realistic question is already in front of us, that is, how should we get in?

I turned to Kong Xue and said, "Wait here, I'll go over and take a look and find out the time and specific situation of the auction the day after tomorrow. These magazines have not mentioned it. Let's be clear and be prepared at that time."

Kong Xue glanced at me squintedly, "You? Are you okay?"

"Tsk! Just kidding! Is it difficult?" I snorted and walked up to the nine-stage steps quickly.

The door was closed on the steps, and I reached out and pushed it without moving. I looked at a doorbell on the wall next to me, so I reached out and pressed it.

Soon, I heard footsteps inside the door, and then the door creaked open. A middle-aged man poked his head out and asked coldly: "Who are you looking for?"

I quickly smiled, "Hello, I want to consult tomorrow's auction."

The middle-aged man looked me up and down, "Which family are you from?"

I was stunned for a moment, why do I still have to report to my home? Then I thought, my second uncle also wanted to participate, which means that my second uncle was also in the ranks of invitations, so I generously reported to me: "Zhuo family!"

"Zhuo Family?" The middle-aged man looked at me and lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "I don't know what Zhuo Family, do you have an invitation? If there is an invitation, you can just follow the time above the day after tomorrow. If not, go whatever you should do!"

"Actually, I just wanted to ask..." Before I could finish my words, the door slammed and closed.

"Hey! Are you polite?" I said "happy" to his family with hatred.

I walked back in a dirt state. Kong Xue couldn't help but smirk when she looked at me.

"What are you laughing at!" I looked at her angrily, "It's the same for you to go! This place is definitely not a good place, there must be something shameful!"

Kong Xue raised her face, "If I go, maybe I can ask! Do you want to make a bet?"

"Just bet, what are you bet?" I was a little dissatisfied.

Kong Xue smiled mischievously and said, "If I can ask about the specific time and schedule of the auction, you have to carry me down the mountain!"

"Okay! Just one word is determined!" Just looking at the arrogant look of the man just now, I concluded that Kong Xue would also return in vain!

Kong Xue took out a small mirror from her bag and sorted out her image. My eyebrows raised, "You are trying to use beauty tricks!"

"What do you care about me?" Kong Xue walked up the steps and gently rang the doorbell.

Soon the door opened, and the middle-aged man poked his head coldly again. Kong Xue smiled sweetly at him and said something. I was far away and couldn't hear clearly what she was saying, but I knew that the middle-aged man must be very helpful because I saw a smile on his wooden face.

I suddenly had an unknown premonition in my heart, and my waist hurt for no reason!

Kong Xue chatted with the middle-aged man for a long time, but in the end the middle-aged man turned around and returned inside, then took out some printed materials and handed them to Kong Xue.

I knew it was done immediately. I must have lost a lot this time!

Seeing Kong Xue coming back proudly, she raised the information in her hand, "Do you want to warm up first, exercise your waist and back muscles?"

My face changed immediately, "That, don't worry, what did you ask? How was the auction the day after tomorrow?"

Kong Xue stretched out her delicate hand and pointed at me, "Come on, bend down! Let's talk while walking on the road!"

"I......"

I walked down the mountain with Kong Xue on my back. Fortunately, Kong Xue was not heavy, and at least I could handle it.

Kong Xue looked at the information in her hand and said, "This auction will be held the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. All invited guests will arrive at around 11 a.m. After the luncheon, the auction will begin."

I tilted my head and said, "Then let's come over the morning after tomorrow! I guess after going down the mountain like this, I will definitely not be able to move tomorrow!"

Hearing my words, Kong Xue chuckled, "There are more specific schedules and detailed introductions to the lots." As he said that, Kong Xue flipped through the information in my hand on my back, "Huh? Strange!"

"What's wrong?" I asked quickly.

"All the lots here are introduced, but this statue of horse-stepped snake is blank below and there is no relevant introduction." Kong Xue said.

"It's really strange. It seems that this item is indeed extraordinary! We should be right here!" I nodded and suddenly remembered an important question, so I continued to ask: "Kong Xue, I still have something I haven't figured it out. Can you tell me?"

"Okay, ask!" Kong Xue agreed readily.

"What the hell did you say, get rid of that wooden face?"

Kong Xue smiled mysteriously, "Nothing can be told!"

I took Kong Xue for two more steps on my back. Kong Xue suddenly reached out and said, "Take it!"

"What do you take?" I asked breathlessly.

"The taxi driver's business card! I'm afraid I'm really exhausted you!"

I was like being pardoned, so I quickly took out my business card and handed it to Kong Xue, "Miss Shengming! Actually, I can hold on for a while!"
