Chapter 16 Auction
There was a circular platform built in the middle, and two men were placing rope racks around the platform to separate themselves from the platform.
There was a blackboard stand on the second step of the round platform, and on the blackboard it was written: The auction will be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow night.
Auction?
What is being auctioned?
The writing was unclear and Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun were also confused.
There were men all around, no women in sight.
Chen Xun caught up with a relatively honest-looking uncle and asked, "Uncle, we're new here and aren't very familiar with this place. Excuse me, what are you auctioning?"
"Alas...Alas...Alas."
Sigh three times in a row.
"Hey boy, this is your girlfriend, right? You better keep a close eye on her, don't let her..."
"Don't be what?"
"Oh, forget it. You can't defeat them. We are all lambs to be slaughtered now. Let's live one day at a time."
"Uncle, what does this mean?"
Chen Xun asked again, but the old man stopped talking, waved his hand and left helplessly.
"What do you mean? You'll understand tomorrow. Little girl, do you want to go with your brother? He can't protect you here."
A wretched man dressed in gold and silver interrupted the conversation and tried to touch Zhao Nanyu with his greasy hands.
"You're looking for death."
"Say what you just said again?"
"If I don't beat you to a pulp today, you're not Chen."
A roar, accompanied by angry thunder and lightning, scared the man with lustful thoughts so much that he pissed himself to death.
Of course Chen Xun would not let him escape easily. He dragged him back by his feet and rolled up his sleeves to beat him up.
"The left side of the face was hit lightly."
"There are two extra teeth on the right side."
"Why are his legs of different lengths? Straighten his bones."
The seemingly harmless girl sat on the bench directly opposite, giving orders while chewing on fried dough twists.
The men gathered around him took several steps back.
"I was wrong. I was wrong."
"Stop fighting, stop fighting."
"Brother, Boss, Dad, can't I call you Dad?"
Chen Xun changed his hand and continued, "I don't have a son like you."
"Grandpa, you are my grandpa, and your grandson will never dare to do that again."
"Grandson is wrong. I kowtow to grandma and admit my mistake. Grandpa, please stop beating me."
The man who was beaten into a pig's head dragged his broken leg and kowtowed to Zhao Nanyu, who almost vomited the fried dough twist in his mouth.
It’s nothing, this guy is so ugly that I’m vomiting because of his ugliness.
Only after the floor tile that had hit the ground from their kowtow was covered in blood did Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun leave with satisfaction.
The people here are trying to intimidate them, so they will retaliate in the same way.
This move is also called killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Everyone exchanges courtesies with each other.
Ding Shi in the monitoring room flicked the fiery red ash and ordered, "Send more people to keep a close eye on them."
In the afternoon, food and invitations were delivered.
Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun looked at each other. There is no free lunch in the world.
Open the invitation and exchange items?
"It's weird here, why don't we leave as soon as possible."
Lin Jiashu adjusted his black-framed glasses that had fallen to the bridge of his nose, feeling a little restless.
"You'll go with me tomorrow."
"ah?"
Calling him for talking too much, Lin Jiashu slapped himself twice, feeling both amused and helpless.
"I want to go too."
"You are not allowed to go. Stay here quietly."
"Why? I'm going."
"If I say no, then no."
"Then you're not allowed to go either."
"No, I have to go."
"If you go, I'll go too."
The man was a head and a half taller than the girl, and the girl was inferior in aura. However, Zhao Nanyu refused to give in to him and stood on the sofa with his shoes on, looking at him at eye level. The two of them were in a stalemate.
"Well, why don't we go together? Otherwise, it would be even more unsafe for her to sneak away."
Zhao Nanyu gave Lin Jiashu an admiring look, and both of them looked at him eagerly.
He really couldn't do anything with her.
At 10 o'clock the next night, the three of them arrived at the fifth villa.
The auditorium was packed. Yesterday's notoriety had already spread, and a few discerning people had already cleaned the benches and reserved seats for them.
The three of them chose a seat closest to the stage, and a man came up with a gong and struck it three times.
here we go.
The first display is two bags of fine rice. If you want one, just raise your hand. Whoever offers the most valuable item will get the two bags of rice.
"Ten high-quality jade bracelets."
"A sports car."
"Thirteen large cabbages."
"Congratulations, thirteen cabbages, please come up to the stage to exchange for rice."
The second display is a box of mineral water.
"Fifteen packs of spicy noodles."
"A basket of fruit."
"A bottle of iodine."
"Congratulations! Please come up to the stage and exchange a basket of fruit and a bottle of iodine for half a case of mineral water each."
During this time, Chen Xun also raised his hand and shouted several times, just for show.
After showing several of them in a row, more than an hour had passed. Zhao Nanyu yawned and stretched.
"Why don't we go? I'm sleepy."
Lin Jiashu rubbed his sore eyes and nodded heavily to show his agreement.
At twelve o'clock sharp, the auction ended.
The next auction will be held three days later at 10 pm.
When the three of them returned to the assigned villa, Zhao Nanyu and Lin Jiashu had already gone upstairs to prepare for bed.
Chen Xun sat downstairs, feeling that today's auction would not be that simple.
There was no light on and the whole room was pitch black. In the darkness, a tall figure came down from upstairs.
"elder brother?"
Chen Zhou seemed stunned for a moment. When Chen Xun looked carefully, Chen Zhou went to the kitchen without changing his expression, poured out two glasses of water, and handed one to him.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Chen Xun took it and took a sip.
"My parents and sister-in-law are probably asleep now."
"Um."
"Sister-in-law, is it still the same?"
Talking about Shu Yao, Chen Zhou pinched his temples.
"He doesn't talk or pay attention to anyone. He eats when he's fed. When he has nothing to do, he sits by the window, holding Tiantian's longevity lock and staring blankly."
"Brother, please spend more time with your sister-in-law. She is also suffering."
"good."
After the end of the world, the two brothers didn’t have much time to sit together and communicate, and for a moment they didn’t know what to say.
At noon, Zhao Nanyu struggled to get out of the warm bed.
The people downstairs had already had breakfast, so it was natural for her to stay in her room and cook for herself with a clear conscience.
After hearing from Lin Jiashu that Chen Xun had gone out early in the morning, she guessed without hesitation that he must have gone to see his old lover in Shuncheng.
Zhao Nanyu dropped the small cake in his hand, pulled up the quilt and lay back down.
Standing in the patrol team's office, Chen Xunzhen cried out in injustice.
"Brother Chen Xun, your special abilities are very popular in the end times. Today we are going out to search for supplies, you should come with us. It would be a shame not to show off your skills."
Ding Shi put his arm around Chen Xun's shoulders, acting like good brothers.
Haha, can he refuse?
Of course not, there are a row of guns pointed at my head.
