At the entrance of Jinyuan City's Dingsheng Auction House, a pair of siblings cuddled up against each other, as if the world was vast and they had nothing but each other.
No matter who left them, they all decided that they would not be able to survive and had no choice but to die and leave this cruel world with infinite desolation.
This is probably what is called "depending on each other for life"!
This pair of pitiful siblings hug each other closely. The "sister" among them is about less than twenty years old, and she looks like she is seventeen or eighteen years old.
The "younger brother" who was held unable to move by his sister was only eleven or twelve years old at most.
"Sister, how much silver do you think our little gold would be worth if sold?"
The younger brother suddenly asked.
The elder sister, who was obviously much taller than her younger brother, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but it must be worth a lot of money. The auction house will take 20%, and the rest of the proceeds will be ours. It must be a big sum." money."
The younger brother thought for a while, "Then can we afford roast chicken?"
My sister smiled so hard that she narrowed her eyes, "Yes, when we have money, let alone roasted chicken, and whatever other delicacies you want to eat, sister, I will take you to eat them, and you will have a feast!"
After hearing what his sister said, the younger brother was extremely excited and shouted: "Okay, great!"
The younger brother looked directly at his elder sister's face, a little serious, pretending to be a little brat, and said: "Sister, I don't want to eat any delicacies from the mountains and seas. I just want my sister to buy me a roasted chicken. Roasted duck is also fine. We can One big chicken drumstick per person can eat two big bowls of rice!"
My sister laughed, "Two big bowls of rice? You're not afraid of bursting your belly. Sometimes you can't even finish a bowl."
The younger brother smiled shyly, "That's because I was afraid that if I ate too much, my sister wouldn't be able to eat enough, so I deliberately ate less. If there were big chicken drumsticks, let alone two bowls, I could even try three bowls." Give it a try!”
The elder sister twisted her younger brother's nose and said with a smile: "Okay, from now on I will serve you two big bowls of rice every day. See if you can finish it. If you can't finish it, see if I spank you."
The younger brother pouted, "I'm going to be spanked again, sister. It's okay if our mother often spanked me when she was alive. Now that she's dead, why should I be spanked by you?"
The elder sister gently patted her younger brother's forehead with her palm, "What's wrong with beating you? Normally, a father should beat his own son, but our father died early, so mother beat you since childhood. Now My mother has also died of illness, so it’s time for me to take my place. How do you say that... By the way, if you don’t teach me, you will be lazy in getting married. I am your only relative in this world now. If I don’t beat you, how can I let others Coming to beat you?"
The younger brother was speechless, impressed by his elder sister's eloquence, and whispered: "Okay sister, I swear to be good to you in the future. When you grow up, I will earn a lot of money for you to spend on my sister. Don't hit me, okay?"
My sister was noncommittal.
The younger brother suddenly said something, which made the elder sister feel a headache, like a piece of soft flesh being grabbed.
The younger brother lowered his head and whispered: "Sister, you said you are my only relative in this world, but the same goes for you. I am also your only relative in this world."
After hearing this, the sister's eyes turned red, she nodded, and hugged her brother's arm tightly, "Good brother, you are right..."
At this moment, an extremely inappropriate voice came.
A hateful-looking man walked out from the door. He was wearing the uniform uniform of the auction house staff. It was obvious at a glance that he was a member of the auction house who specialized in serving this industry.
The man came to the door, took a quick look, and saw the pair of siblings. He frowned and raised his voice with great dissatisfaction: "Hey, where are you two poor guys? This is the Dingsheng Auction House, and it's you too." Where can I come? Get out of here, as far as I can!"
The younger brother was trembling in his sister's arms. It was obvious that he was frightened by the man's roar. Children are as bold as the eye of a needle and can be easily intimidated.
After all, my sister was almost twenty years old and could no longer be as timid and fearful as her brother. She was already quite careless. Instead of standing up, she held her neck and shouted loudly at the man. He said: "Why are we allowed to leave? Our things are being auctioned inside, and we are waiting for the auction results here. We won't leave!"
The man who came out to drive people away was laughed out of his anger. He laughed to himself for a while, then glanced at the crudely dressed siblings with extremely contemptuous eyes, and said in a contemptuous tone: "I'm really laughing to death. What valuable things do you two have, and why are you qualified to come to our auction house to sell them? Do you think our place is a place for collecting junk? This is so ridiculous! If you are really sellers, then you should sit comfortably How can you sit at the door if there are seats inside?”
My sister still responded loudly: "You didn't let my brother and I in. You said our clothes were too dirty and could easily stain the seats inside, so you asked us to wait outside until they were sold. From now on, we will take 20% of the profit and give us the remaining money from the sale. Don’t rush us, we will leave naturally when we get the money!”
An angry look appeared on the man's face, and he cursed: "You're a little bitch with no brains. If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink it as a penalty, right? Even if I beat you to death, you won't believe that you really have goods to sell in it? Say, what you are selling is What?"
My sister thought for a while, raised her chin and said, "Eleven spiritual beasts, very rare and rare ones!"
"Haha, that's funny. Then tell me, what kind of spiritual beast are they?"
the man asked.
My sister said hesitantly: "I'm not sure about that. Anyway, it's very rare. There's a horn on the forehead. It's very beautiful..."
The man smiled and did not believe what the sister said. He just found it interesting and asked, "Hey, it also has horns. Is it a unicorn?"
My sister shook her head, "It's not a unicorn, it's small, about the same size as a cat or dog."
The man didn't have a good temper, so he simply turned his face and scolded: "Okay, okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here. I don't even know what I want to sell, so I just came here to lie to you. Really?" If you don’t draft your lies, only a ghost can believe you.”
The man raised his foot and kicked his sister on the waist. It wasn't very hard, but it already caused her to fall.
The younger brother was in his elder sister's arms and protected by her body, so he was not seriously injured. However, he was not a particularly stupid fool and knew that his elder sister would definitely fall badly.
The younger brother with a small body stared and said in a childish voice: "What are you doing?! Why are you kicking my sister?"
The man who had just kicked me sneered several times, but did not change his contemptuous and arrogant expression. He looked at the people with his chin and said, "I'm just kicking you. What can you do to me? Two poor things, with faces like this." The hunger marks are so obvious, you can tell at a glance that they are the reincarnations of starving ghosts. They deserve to be bullied in this life. Go, go, go somewhere else quickly. You are not allowed to beg for food here. You can even daydream. Do it in other realms, come to a place like this for the next life!"
As he spoke, he raised another leg, but before this crazy guy could kick out the second time, the man suddenly let out an extremely ear-piercing scream.
My sister's eyes widened. She clearly saw that the man fell to the ground in an instant, holding his right leg with both hands, screaming in agony, and just rolling on the ground non-stop!
The younger brother was stunned by this sudden scene, his little eyes were filled with confusion, and a look of horror filled his entire face.
The sister was carrying the person, completely ignoring the man on the ground who was screaming in agony. In the youthful eyes of the girl who was less than twenty years old, there was an emotion like the warm sun in spring.
I saw two people walking slowly towards this side.
There is a man and a woman. The woman is small in stature and has a particularly delicate appearance. Her eyes are cherry red in color, which are very different from ordinary people's pupils and eyes. They are very individual and charming. Although she is short in stature, she can be seen just by relying on this. The eyes are enough to greatly improve her overall temperament.
And that man was even more astonished, making people dazzled as soon as they saw his appearance. They felt that there was such an extraordinary man in the world, what a blessing it was in the world!
The sister who was wearing tattered and vulgar clothes knew that her clothes did not look good, but when she saw the man's clothes at this moment, she was completely ashamed of herself and felt as if she was not wearing any clothes. Even shame.
There is no other reason, just because the green robe on that man is too gorgeous, beyond human imagination, too...fairy-like!
There are many exquisite patterns painted on the green robe, and every texture is no less than the most proud work of a top craftsman in his life. Such a perfect and flawless finished product is not to say that it is so luxurious to wear it once. If I have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes once in my life, I can say that I have no regrets in this life.
The handsome young man in green robes walked up leisurely with a rather gentle step, and together with the small woman in white, they walked up to the poor siblings.
There is no sense of oppression, just standing in front of me, as if the spring breeze is blowing on my face, and the flowers of March are flying in front of my eyes.
Another faint fragrance floated, it was not only an illusion but also a reality. I didn’t know whether the smell came from the man in green robe or from the girl in white.
"Why are you so dazed? I asked, are all you girls like this? When you see a good-looking young man, you like to stare blankly and stop talking?"
The man in green robe is Ling Zhen, the eldest young master of Tianshen Villa, and the short girl in white clothes next to him is Ling Xiaoxiao, the eighth daughter of the Ling family who is several years older than Ling Zhen.
Ling Xiaoxiao sneered at her brother's narcissism and smiled: "Brother, please don't be so self-righteous in the future, okay? You are by my side now. If I lose someone, I will lose my sister with you!"
Ling Zhen ignored her sister's words and just stared at the poor girl with her peach blossom eyes.
The girl's face quickly turned red.
Ling Zhen felt funny, it turned out that all girls in the world looked like this when they were shy, they were the same, their little cheeks were as red as a juicy peach.
If Ling Zhen didn't have some sense of propriety, he might have been tempted to stretch out his hand and pinch it a few times to see how it felt.
"You...did you save us?"
The poor girl with a flushed face finally lowered her head and asked in a low voice.
Ling Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, that guy was too much of an eyesore, so I flicked my energy and broke the guy's leg bones."
He said and looked sideways at the ground.
The man who had been so arrogant and arrogant just now couldn't bear the severe pain of his broken leg. His eyes turned white and he fainted. He fell to the ground like a dead dog. What a joy!
"Thank you……"
The poor girl pinched her brother's shoulder and said, "Thank your benefactor quickly."
The little brother who had been frightened to the point of running out of his nose quickly obeyed his sister's instructions and said to Ling Zhen, "Thank you, my benefactor!"
Ling Zhen laughed a few times indifferently, "I just saw a wild dog barking and couldn't help but beat the dog unconscious. There is no need to thank me like this."
"Benefactor, you...what's your last name?"
The poor girl had not read books and did not know that when asking about someone's life in this situation, one should use the word "your last name". She asked the question very straightforwardly with the sentence "what is your last name?"
Ling Zhen was not that pedantic and sour scholar, so of course he wouldn't mind such minutiae. With a confident smile on his lips, he replied: "My name is Ling Zhen, Ling from Two Points of Water. What about you? What's your name?" "
The poor girl replied: "My name is Xue Hua."
She pointed to her brother again, "This is my brother Xue Cao."
Ling Zhen came closer, rubbed Xue Cao's little head a few times, and said with a warm smile: "Little brother, you and your sister, Cao Yihua, are good, the names are well chosen."
Xue Cao smiled innocently, raised his little head, and stared at his eldest brother Ling Zhen, who was much taller than him, and said: "My mother said, it is easy to make a living from a lowly life. Flowers and plants are the most vital. It is not easy. die!"
Xue Hua was a little embarrassed. She touched the back of her brother's head and said sheepishly: "Benefactor, my brother is young and talks nonsense. Don't mind."
Ling Zhen waved his hand, "Of course, I'm not a petty person. As a child, childish talk has never been irrelevant. I really think your family's name is good, especially for you, Miss Xue, Xue Flower, snowflake, tsk tsk, what a good name!”
The poor girl with a name that sounds homophonic to "Snowflake" turned red again. She lowered her head and said, "Thank you for your compliments..."
Ling Zhen smiled again, "You don't have to call me a benefactor, just call me Mr. Ling. By the way, I heard you just now saying that you were waiting for your things to be auctioned by staying at this door? What exactly are you selling?" ?”
After all, it is a prosperous auction house with a reputation that is not small in the land of the North. As we all know, the items that can be auctioned there are definitely the best among the best, and can even be classified as "super-quality".
What can this pair of poor siblings, who seem to be struggling to even eat, bring out anything to sell inside? It's really curious.
"It's a spiritual beast, left behind by my mother, and its name is Xiao Jin."
The younger brother Xue Cao said very excitedly.
Ling Zhen smiled a few times, feeling that this was the case, and said, "Let me guess, it must be a small and exquisite little guy that can be kept as a pet, right?"
Xue Cao nodded heavily.
Ling Zhen also nodded, thinking that this should be the case. If it was a large exotic beast, the two siblings would definitely not be able to raise it, so he asked again: "What kind of spiritual beast is it?"
Xue Cao scratched his head and thought hard, but finally he could only shake his head and said, "I don't know about that. Xiao Jin has a horn on the top of his head, and his body is glittering with gold. He's so beautiful!"
Ling Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted in shock: "Demon Slaughter...the top-selling item of this auction, the Demon Slaughter Elm Coin, actually belongs to your family?!"
