Inside the auction venue
The auction was held in a place similar to an open-air altar, just like the insect refining field in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. There was a large circular platform in the center, and seats were built around the platform in layers, in an orderly manner.
Everyone coming in must register first, and then receive something similar to a number plate, which makes it convenient to take a photo and verify the information when connecting.
The auction hall was filled with people from all directions. Except for three people, the others had unique tattoos on their faces or skin, which seemed to show their special identities from different villages.
On the top floor of the venue, three people were sitting together, facing the central round platform, and Chi Meng was chattering beside them.
"Xiao Guoguo, why did the young lady just now call you Dongjun? Are you kidding me? You are not called Luanxizei at all, right?"
"My name is Anton-kun."
Chi Meng pondered for a moment, then pouted and said coquettishly, "Rogue thief? Anton Jun? You are so mean!"
Anton Jun looked at her with a playful expression, "Aren't you the same, the Saint of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, Miss Chi Meng?"
Chi Meng scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Hey, you are so amazing, but how did you know that?"
Anton-kun did not answer, but asked on his own:
"I won't tell you. You hugged me just now to put a curse on me, right?"
Chi Meng stuck out his tongue and said, "I won't tell you. That's right, but why is the poisonous insect ineffective on you? How did you do that?"
"Don't tell you!"
"You! Humph..." Chi Meng saw that Anton Jun ignored him and he was sulking.
After a while, the auction started
A fat man with a bloated figure, tattoos all over his body, a thick beard, and a big cigarette in his right hand walked out from one side of the venue.
I saw him walking very quickly and arriving at the central platform in an instant.
"He's a master!" This was everyone's inner thought at this moment, of course not including Anton-kun.
What is surprising is that behind him is a young girl of 15 years old.
Healthy wheat-colored skin, paired with calm but bright big eyes, and two red tattoos under the eyes, is eye-catching!
I'm afraid no one would have thought that she was Xiao Xiao, the daughter of Xiao Weng, the owner of Guishizi.
Xiao Weng smiled warmly and said gently: "Dear guests, thank you for coming all the way to Raojiang to participate in our annual auction in Guishizi. The auction will now officially begin!"
"Please look, this is the first lot of today's auction."
“This insect is called Yusheng Lingli, and it is a poisonous insect carefully cultivated by the people of Basha Village.
Eating this insect can regenerate a small piece of lost flesh and blood, and can quickly repair a damaged body. " (In the original work, the brother-in-law has a centipede, and this thing has the same properties as a centipede)
I didn't expect that this auction was so interesting. The first item caught Anton's attention. Thinking about the next plan, he decided to buy it immediately. However, before he opened his mouth, someone else got there first.
"I want this. I'll pay 10 taels of silver."
Anton Jun immediately became angry. You dare to snatch something from me? He immediately made an offer:
"I'll pay you 11 taels!"
"..."
"Okay, congratulations to guest No. 22 for obtaining the treasure!"
'! ! ! '
"Is this thing so worthless? I lost money, I lost money," Anton said inwardly.
……
"The next item is a poison extracted from the poison sacs of the five poisonous beasts. It is colorless and tasteless, and can kill people without them even noticing."
"..."
To Anton's regret, he didn't care about anything that came next and just started chatting with the two girls. Several more came one after another. After waiting for a while, it was finally time for the much-anticipated finale.
"Okay, we have finally reached the main part. I'm sure you have all been waiting for a long time, so I won't waste any more words."
"Everyone, please look, this insect is called Ping Tianlong, and it is said that it was once used by the people in the Twelve Caves.
Once you are bitten by it and are infected with its venom, if you do not take measures within five breaths, the poison will quickly invade your internal organs, and then even a Daluo Jinxian will be unable to save you."
"..."
"Congratulations to guest No. 1 for obtaining the treasure!"
……
"The next lot is the poison-avoiding beads."
"This thing..."
"Congratulations to guest No. 22 for winning the treasure!"
……
"The last lot is a gilded jade hairpin with a phoenix pattern. This hairpin is the last work of our Raojiang chief hairpin lady, Hong Er Niang. The red jade used in this hairpin was carefully selected from a thousand pieces of top-grade red jade. It took two months to make it..."
You can see that inside the red brocade box is an extremely exquisite red jade hairpin, decorated with a gilded phoenix pattern that is perfectly inserted into the jade head. The jade body is smooth and flawless, and can be used for engraving!
Anton finally saw something he really liked. This time he was not beaten to the punch and was the first to speak:
"I'll pay you 30 taels!"
But soon someone followed up, "I'll give 40 taels.", "I'll give 45 taels."
"..."
Anton has never felt so aggrieved as this time. It really proves the saying that 'a penny can make a hero fall'.
After all, he didn't have much money to begin with. He only took 100 taels from Miao Chengtian last time. He spent 45 on the two things he just bought. He also bought some local specialties at the market. Adding on everyone's spending over the past few days, he now had less than 50 taels left. Thinking about the next few days, it was no longer enough to cover his expenses.
Miao Chengtian, who was beside him, had been thinking about Anton Jun the whole time. He immediately sensed his embarrassment and without any hesitation, he shouted, "I'll pay 70 taels!"
Then, under the gaze of everyone, he took out his own money and handed it to An Dongjun, "Here, Dongjun, I still have some."
"She is so dazzling! Like a ray of light!" Anton had only one thought in his mind, and then he said with emotion:
"Thank you, you are so nice..."
Unconsciously, Anton-jun's way of addressing her had changed, and Miao Chengtian also noticed this, and a glow rose on her pretty face.
After spending so many days together, Miao Chengtian also discovered that Anton-jun was easy-going. Not only was he handsome and well-educated, he was also extremely gentle in dealing with people and doing things.
Except for a few irrelevant words he uttered when talking to Hou Qing, that didn't matter. The most important thing was that he saved his life!
For a girl who has lived in Huanyinfang since she was a child, it is a fatal attraction. After all, how can a girl who has not yet developed feelings for love resist a handsome and elegant young man? Naturally, her heart will be moved, and she will shyly say:
"Dongyun, you're joking. This is what we should do every day."
It's a pity that the flowers are intentional, and the water is ruthless.
Anton, who was standing by, didn't notice it at all, thinking: 'Zhao Zhao will definitely like this thing!!!'
Chi Meng, who was standing by, noticed Miao Chengtian's abnormality, but she didn't know that Miao Chengtian was shy, so she said something inappropriate:
"Miss, why are you blushing all of a sudden? Are you sick?"
When Anton heard this, he quickly put his hand on her forehead and asked with concern: "Chengtian, are you okay? It's a bit hot. Why don't we go back and rest early today? Wait for me."
After saying that, he went to get the things he had photographed. Miao Chengtian just said blankly: "Okay~"
After Anton Jun came back, he took her hand and left, leaving Chi Meng standing there stupidly. After a while, he pretended to be angry.
"Again!"
Then he followed the two women. The expressions of the two women were:
"o((*^▽^*))o"
"(???Dan??)??3??"
