She said the last sentence to Sakai Ichiro, who always had a faint smile on his face.
When Zhang Meng finally left the auction house, she had almost completely reap the rewards. Not only did she win a stone box for free, but she also had an extra 700,000 yuan in her account.
Don't ask where the 100,000 yuan went. Thinking of the 100,000 yuan, Zhang Meng's heart ached.
"Are you still angry?" In the car, Gu Mingtai saw that the little woman beside him still had a sour face, and he couldn't help but smile. He reached out and gently pinched her tender face.
Zhang Meng gently pushed his hand away, sat up straight in anger, and said, "Of course I'm angry. That auction house is a scam. They deducted 100,000 yuan from me as a handling fee. 100,000 yuan! That's a lot of money. I can't earn that much in my lifetime."
My flesh aches just thinking about it.
Old Master Liao, who was sitting in the front, coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly, "That cute girl, you really misunderstood the auction house. Their rules are like this. They will take a small commission from anyone who sells an item through them. This is normal. Everyone comes here this way. They didn't specifically target you."
"But it's too much. One hundred thousand yuan. If it was only ten thousand, I wouldn't feel so bad."
At this time, Zhang Meng had no idea that her mentality had changed because the ten thousand yuan she got out of the eight hundred thousand yuan was worth as little as one yuan in her eyes.
After returning to the Liao family, a group of people gathered around the stone box and began to study it.
"Why do the R people give us this stone box? Are they up to some evil tricks again?" Monk Jingchen asked loudly.
"No matter whether he has evil intentions or not, once this thing is in our hands, it is ours. It is absolutely impossible for those R people to get a piece of the pie from us." Old Master Liao said loudly.
Gu Mingtai had been observing his wife. Seeing her frown from time to time, he approached her anxiously, "What's wrong? Is there a sound coming from that stone box again?"
He always remembered that the last time he saw the stone box in the x-organization, his wife heard a sound from the stone box.
Zhang Meng suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "Gu Mingtai, the noise in this stone box seems to be getting stronger. It's almost deafening me."
Monk Jingchen and Old Man Liao, who were discussing the matter of the stone box, heard the conversation between the young couple and both walked over at the same time.
"Girl, what sound did you hear in this stone box?" Monk Jingchen asked Zhang Meng with a serious face.
Zhang Meng kept covering her ears, looking very painful. Old Master Liao's expression tightened, and he immediately took out a black cloth from the drawer of the wooden cabinet next to him and covered the stone box with it.
At this time, the painful expression on Zhang Meng's face slowly eased.
Seeing that her expression was no longer so painful, Gu Mingtai immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Is it not so painful now?"
Help her calm down. Zhang Meng's face looked better. "Much better."
At this time, she looked at the stone box covered by the black cloth. She was now very interested in the black cloth.
"Mr. Liao, what is the origin of this black cloth? Why is it able to block the sound coming from the stone box?"
Old Master Liao took a look at the black cloth and said with a smile, "This is our Liao family's ancestral treasure. I heard that this black cloth was taken back by my ancestor from the stone statue of Taishang Laojun. This black cloth can resist the temptation of all gods and ghosts."
Zhang Meng looked at it as if it were a treasure. She never expected that there were so many strange and bizarre treasures in this world.
The world is truly full of wonders. Seeing that her expression had finally improved, Old Man Liao spoke up, "Meng girl, what was that sound you heard in the stone box just now? Can you tell us about it?"
"Yes, yes, tell me, we also want to hear what kind of sound comes out of this stone box." Monk Jingchen came up with a curious look on his face.
Zhang Meng glanced at the two of them, then looked at Gu Mingtai, seeing him nod at her. Zhang Meng clenched his fists, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, nodded, and agreed, "Okay, I'll tell you."
"Actually, it's more accurate to say it's a song. Yes, it's a song, a very strange song that I've never heard before. Let me hum it for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Meng tried to recall the song he had just heard in the stone box. After figuring out how to hum it, he began to close his mouth, and slowly a song came out of his tightly closed mouth.
Gu Mingtai and others present listened with appreciation on their faces at first, but as time went on, their expressions became as if they were in discomfort.
After a while, their faces turned pale.
Gu Mingtai glanced at the two elderly people beside him. Their lips were black. He quickly shouted to Zhang Meng who was humming a song, "Xiao Meng, stop singing."
Zhang Meng stopped, and her expression was not much better than the other three. She found that even if the song did not come from the stone box, just hearing it made her feel uncomfortable.
After rubbing his forehead, Zhang Meng looked up and immediately saw Monk Jingchen and Old Man Liao staggering.
She was so scared that she quickly stepped forward to help Gu Mingtai hold on to one of them.
"Is it possible that the song I hummed just now has affected you two elders like this?" Seeing how weak they were, Zhang Meng bit her lip with a bit of self-blame.
Monk Jingchen was the first to come to his senses, but his face was still a little pale. He waved his hand at her and said, "Girl, don't blame yourself. We were the ones who asked you to do this. It's just that we two old men didn't expect the song to be so hurtful."
