"It's okay, uncle. I just asked, nothing else."
Lin Mo turned his head resentfully, whispered in his ear, "Do you think this person is abnormal, should we sit somewhere else?"
But he was looking at this middle-aged man who was also dressed simply. He had already discovered the abnormality of this man.
Since the auction started, he has been talking to himself from time to time, either saying that the item is of average quality, or that the item is too expensive.
Although he spoke with righteous indignation and agitated tone, in Xiao Chen's view, what he said was very reasonable and penetrating.
So when he looked at this lot so excitedly, Xiao Chen was still looking forward to it for a while.
He stretched his neck to look forward, and when the red cloth was lifted, he saw a lifelike dragon-shaped wooden sculpture.
This wood carving is very beautifully carved, although he is not very close, he can still feel the agility of the dragon pattern.
The dragon bared its teeth and claws and opened its big mouth forward. Every scale and every strand of beard was carved in detail.
This wood carving is indeed very beautifully carved, but both the material and the author of the carving are very ordinary.
When the host introduced it to everyone, he found that people were not very interested in this wood carving, and everyone even thought that some mistakes made such an ordinary lot enter the auction.
"What are these things? How can even wood carvings on the street be auctioned? Ordinary wood, ordinary craftsmanship, how could anyone want to buy this?"
Some people have started to question it.
At this time, the host has announced the initial auction price.
"The starting price is 50 yuan."
When he finished his announcement, the venue was even more uproarious.
What? 50 RMB?Is this a joke?In such an occasion, there are still 50 yuan of things?
At this moment, Elder Long slowly came out from behind, facing the doubts of the crowd, he slowly raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone, let me explain here. This wooden carving is actually a gadget made by our own master in the Long family. Every child in the Long family had one as a toy when they were young. The reason why it was auctioned in this auction is that Just to remember my daughter. This is the one she had when she was little."
Speaking of this, Elder Long's expression became obviously darker.
But he quickly adjusted his status and continued: "So this gadget is actually not worth much money. It is purely my contribution to charity for my little girl. Everyone can follow their own preferences and bid at will."
After he said the last word, he stepped back to the side and sat on a grand master's chair that had just been moved.
Even though he explained it so clearly, Xiao Chen still didn't quite understand why Elder Long would do this.
Why did he make charitable contributions for his daughter?Why didn't that woman come by herself?
"Who is Lao Long's daughter? Is she here?"
It was rare for him to be interested in the secret history of the family in Longcheng, so he asked Lin Mo in a low voice.
But Lin Mo didn't know much about it. He just said vaguely: "I also heard from our old servant that Mr. Long's daughter seems to be missing. It's been many years, and I don't know where to go." where."
He nodded noncommittally, but the uncle next to him snorted coldly.
"If you don't know anything, don't talk nonsense. What is missing, she was obviously kidnapped. This is the retribution that despicable man Long Tianao should have."
Hearing his resentful tone and content, Xiao Chen even somewhat believed it.
"Uncle, you already know? When the old daughter of Long disappeared, were you there?"
Lin Mo choked directly.
But at this time the auction had already started, so the man didn't argue with him any more.
"Ten thousand."
After a round of polite bidding, the uncle directly raised the price to ten thousand.
In the eyes of these shrewd businessmen, this kind of wood carving, which has neither real value nor room for appreciation, is really not too high a price.
Even if it was only [-], this amount became the highest price in the audience.
Until then Xiao Chen stared at the wood carving carefully again, wondering what made this man so obsessed with it.
【Ding!Sign in today! 】
【Sign in? 】
Just when his eyes fell on the eyes of the wooden dragon, the system reminder sounded in his mind again.
So he said silently in his heart: "Sign in."
【Okay, host!Checking in for you! 】
【Ding!Sign in successfully! 】
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the perspective skill. 】
The moment the system notified him that he had acquired the perspective skill, the world in front of him directly changed into another scene.
His gaze that originally fell on the wood carving dragon's eyes directly penetrated the outer layer of the wood carving, and directly saw the wood fibers inside.
Moreover, he also discovered that the wood carving that should have been solid was actually a hollow structure.
There is actually a control switch from the eyes of the dragon head, which is connected to a series of organs behind.
But the base of the wood carving is a hollow structure, and with perspective skills, he can still see that there is actually a note inside the wood carving dragon.
"what?"
When he found that there was still a note hidden inside, he couldn't help but uttered a voice of doubt.
"What's wrong? Brother Chen."
Lin Mo leaned over to ask at this time.
"It's nothing, that young lady's breasts are real."
He said casually that he had just obtained the perspective skill, and he hadn't been able to grasp the scale well.
So just now when he was observing the wood carving, he accidentally saw through Miss Etiquette.
"That's right, my eyes will never go wrong."
He replied triumphantly there.
But Xiao Chen raised the sign and shouted: "Twenty thousand."
He also started bidding because he somehow wanted to know the contents of the note hidden in the wood carving.
The desire was so strong that he couldn't help but start bidding.
The uncle next to him gave him a surprised look. He didn't expect that someone would compete with him at this time.
"fifty thousand."
"One hundred thousand."
The two of you come and I compete very lively.
But at this time, Elder Long stood up. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Xiao Xiao, I didn't expect that you would only take a fancy to this with so many collections. Forget it, I'll give this to you directly."
Hearing Elder Long's words, the host immediately announced that this item would no longer be auctioned.
At this time, the middle-aged man stood up directly, pointed at Long Lao's nose and cursed: "Long Aotian, you old man, how can you go back on your word like this. If you agreed to bid or not, just give away things casually? What a nasty old immortal."
