Zhou Jiayu was not the only one who was fascinated by the Ten Ghosts Night Banquet at the auction. The silence in the room lasted for a moment, and then exclamations broke out. Zhou Jiayu was taken aback by the sound, but seeing Shen Yiqiong and Lin Jue sitting next to them were not surprised, they seemed to have expected this situation.
"This painting is called Night Banquet of Ten Ghosts. It was created by Mr. Lin Zhushui and has the effect of exorcising evil spirits." The host laughed, "I believe everyone knows the value of this painting, so I won't go into details. , the reserve price is 10 million, all guests please."
As soon as the host's voice fell, the entire auction venue fell into a frenzy of bidding. Zhou Jiayu was a little stunned when he saw this kind of occasion for the first time. These people held up signs as if money was just a number, the price of 10 million Climbing up, it broke through 100 million in a few minutes.
Zhou Jiayu whispered, "Master, what's so special about this painting?"
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Of course there is something strange, but it's not so strange, but most of the people who can sit here are born in wealthy families, and the purpose of this painting is not only to ward off evil spirits, but it has become a kind of show off capital. "
Zhou Jiayu clicked his tongue, feeling that this is really not something that a common person can understand.
"Dirty things are actually quite deceiving." Lin Jue said, "As long as they are stronger than them, they are afraid. These Ten Ghosts Night Banquet pictures are not suitable for hanging in the house, but more suitable for hanging in some special places."
Zhou Jiayu nodded thoughtfully.
After some fighting, Lin Zhushui's painting was photographed at a price of 180 million. To be able to reach this price, the person who took the picture obviously not only wanted to buy a painting, but also wanted to catch up on it. Lin Zhushui this line.
Someone next to him sighed, regretting that he couldn't take this special picture.
This painting was the climax of the auction. The host was flushed and excitedly dropped the gavel in his hand, announcing the final price of the painting.
Seeing such a fierce price fight, Zhou Jiayu felt that his trip was worthwhile.
After the auction ended, Lin Zhushui met with the seller and delivered the picture in person.
Zhou Jiayu saw that the buyer was a young and beautiful woman, and there was a middle-aged man standing beside him. Judging from their appearance, the two were somewhat similar and seemed to be related by blood.
"Mr. Lin." The woman introduced herself, "My surname is Ye, and my name is Ye Zhen. I have admired your name for a long time. When I see you today, you are truly extraordinary."
Lin Zhushui nodded and said lightly, "If you want to hang this painting at home, you can only hang it in the living room. It's best to face it at the door, and remember not to put it in the bedroom."
Ye Zhendao nodded, hesitated for a moment, but still said what she wanted to say, she said: "Mr. Lin, I'll be honest, something happened at my house, could you please help." She seemed to be Feeling that it is not good to speak like this, I added, "If you are willing to take action, we will definitely give you a generous gift."
Sure enough, Lin Jue said it right, buying paintings was just a tactful and roundabout way, and in the end, it was directed at Lin Zhushui himself.
Lin Zhushui said, "Come and listen."
Ye Zhen briefly said what happened to her family. It turned out that Ye Zhen had always liked to keep dogs since she was a child. There were more than a dozen dogs, both large and small, and all of them were of precious breeds. There is an old servant in her family who specializes in feeding these dogs. This old servant has been feeding dogs for decades, and he already knows dogs well, but just a while ago, he was suddenly attacked by dogs and died.
When Zhou Jiayu heard it, he felt that he had to find a zoologist. What's going on with Guan Lin Zhushui
Ye Zhen sighed lightly: "I thought it was the dog that had a problem at first, but after a few days, I discovered a strange thing..."
Lin Zhushui said, "What's the strange thing?"
Ye Zhen's expression was a little frightened, she swallowed her saliva heavily and trembled: "I found that the dogs in my family started to grow black hair. At first I thought that their fur had changed color, but it turned out that few God, those dogs are getting longer and longer, and they look like people squatting on the ground with disheveled hair…”
As soon as these words came out, a picture flashed through Zhou Jiayu's mind. The picture flashed so fast that he couldn't catch it for a while.
"Not only that, their faces have also become human-like." Ye Zhen seemed to feel a little cold, and rubbed her arms heavily with her hands.
"Then what did you do?" Shen Yiqiong asked casually beside him, he obviously didn't believe Ye Zhen would do nothing.
"I killed two dogs." Ye Zhen whispered, "But after killing, I regret it..."
Shen Yiqiong said, "Why?"
Ye Zhen smiled bitterly: "Because after killing them, I have nightmares every day, dreaming that I have become a dog..."
After Lin Zhushui listened to Ye Zhen's words, he just asked, "Your interest is only raising dogs?"
Ye Zhen pursed her lips and looked a little embarrassed.
Lin Zhushui said, "If you're going to hide it now, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much."
Ye Zhen let out a long sigh, her expression full of entanglement: "As expected of Mr. Lin, I can tell at a glance, yes, my interest is not only dog breeding, but also dog fighting."
Bulldog? Hearing this word, Zhou Jiayu was startled. He didn't expect that the pretty girl in front of him would like that kind of violence. Zhou Jiayu, the fighting dog, knows a little bit about the fur, that is, let two dogs fight each other, usually the scene is extremely bloody.
"What's the point of that thing." Shen Yiqiong was more straightforward than Zhou Jiayu, "Blood and unappetizing."
Ye Zhen smiled and said nothing.
In fact, this group of rich people have different interests. Some like money, some like power, and some like to play with women. Of course, some of them are addicted to bloody violence.
"You have to go to your kennel to find out." Lin Zhushui said.
Ye Zhen said: "My kennel is in the next province. If it is convenient for Mr. Lin, I can arrange for someone to pick you up tomorrow."
Lin Zhushui nodded.
Ye Zhen saw that Lin Zhushui had responded to this matter, thanked him repeatedly, and then walked away with the picture scroll contentedly.
After taking her away, Lin Jue was a little strange, and asked Lin Zhushui why he was in charge of this, saying that it was not like Lin Zhushui's character.
"It's useful." Lin Zhushui just said these two words, but he didn't say anything specific.
That's the end of today's birthday party. Shen Yiqiong booked a room for them in the hotel next to them, and planned to drive them there. As a result, when he reached the door, Zhou Jiayu suddenly noticed that there were two people standing beside the car next to the door. It was Lin Zhushui's niece and the man who threatened him before.
"Master..." Zhou Jiayu called out.
Lin Jue said, "Huh? What's wrong?"
Zhou Jiayu said, "Is that girl Mr.'s niece?"
Lin Jue followed Zhou Jiayu's gaze and saw the two people who were making out on the side of the road. She said, "It seems so, I haven't seen it much." She seemed to think it was not good to say this, and added, " Your husband has too many nieces and I don't even recognize them."
Zhou Jiayu: "Oh, that... The person next to her seems to be a liar." He was a little embarrassed when he mentioned what he had done in the past, "It seems that you are traveling with me."
Lin Jue raised her eyebrows when she heard the words: "You mean that girl was deceived?"
Zhou Jiayu nodded.
"Okay." Lin Jue is also very good. After listening to Zhou Jiayu's words, he actually got out of the passenger cab and walked towards the place where the man and the girl were.
Lin Zhushui's niece apparently also knew Lin Jue, and when she saw her, she hurriedly shouted, "Aunt Lin."
Lin Jue said, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go back so late?"
The niece is probably a sideline, and is not too close to the Lin family, otherwise Lin Jue wouldn't even remember her name, she was flattered when she heard Lin Jue's words: "My boyfriend and I are going to go shopping. Night market…”
"This is your boyfriend?" Lin Jue glanced at the man in a suit.
With a bright smile on the man's face, he also said hello to Lin Jue: "Hello, aunt."
"Who is your aunt?" Lin Jue raised her chin, her expression cold and arrogant, "What are you?"
As soon as she said this, both her niece and her boyfriend showed embarrassed expressions. It seemed that her niece was going to say something. Lin Jue pointed directly to Lin Zhushui who was still sitting in the car, and said, "Your uncle asked me to come and talk to you. With a sigh, this man is not good, lying on the silkworm, with three curved noses, thin lips and small ears—"
The niece's face changed immediately when she heard this.
"Where did you learn from looking at pictures?" Lin Jue said, "Hurry up and divide."
"Okay aunt." The niece didn't even refute, she nodded directly and said to the man next to her, "Let's break up." Her attitude was so decisive that Zhou Jiayu who was sitting in the car watched Silly.
After Lin Jue finished speaking, she turned around and left. The man was so angry that he was about to explode, but he also knew Lin Jue's status and did not dare to shoot at her at will, but Yu Guang noticed that he was sitting in the car and was eating food through the car window. Zhou Jiayu of the melon masses.
"Damn it!" The game that had been set up with great effort was broken like this, and the man lost his demeanor, rushed directly in front of the car, and yelled at the car: "Zhou Jiayu, you he Fuck me, aren't you a liar yourself? Fewer people lie than me—"
Zhou Jiayu sat in the car and listened to these words, but he couldn't refute it. His heart was choked and uncomfortable. He was about to say something, but he saw a few people got out of the car behind. They were Shen Chaosan and Shen Musi. Shen Chao was three. Big, the man who got out of the car cowardly planned to step back. But Shen Chaosan didn't give him this chance. He took a few steps forward and grabbed the man's collar, staring, "Who the hell are you talking about?"
The man's feet were weak and he almost fell to the ground, still stubborn: "Zhou Jiayu is a liar!"
Shen Chaosan was too lazy to speak, so he punched him directly, the man screamed and his right eye turned blue.
Shen Yiqiong called in the car and said, "Yes, yes, there is a liar. It is estimated that the amount involved is quite large. Please send someone to arrest him directly."
The man didn't expect that Shen Yiqiong would call the police directly. He was trembling with fright, but Zhou Jiayu was also a liar. Jiayu became suspicious.
Shen Musi sneered, "Who is he, he still needs you to talk nonsense."
Zhou Jiayu was very moved when he saw this scene. In fact, he had always been worried about his identity as a liar. He always felt that apart from Shen Yiqiong, he had a slight estrangement from Lin Zhushui's apprentices. Willing to stand up for myself.
Shen Yiqiong was still shouting, "Beat him, beat him, and he doesn't even know his mother."
Shen Chaosan started rolling up his sleeves when he heard this, but he was just trying to scare the man, he didn't mean to do it in broad daylight.
Zhou Jiayu looked at Shen Chaosan's sturdy arm, and thought of how the mother who was beaten when he first came didn't even know him, and felt a burst of sigh in his heart...
The police came quickly and took the man directly away.
Shen Yiqiong also greeted him twice, saying that this person must investigate carefully, and he must have committed a lot of things. Before the man left, the maliciousness in the eyes of Zhou Jiayu turned into panic, as if to say what means did you use to make the Lin family protect you like this.
Zhou Jiayu was quietly happy in his heart.
The man left, and several people continued to go to the hotel.
Zhou Jiayu told them the conversation between him and the man in the toilet. After Lin Jue heard it, he directly asked Zhou Jiayu to rush up and give him a set of 18 quality companies. What happened? There is also Mr.
Zhou Jiayu glanced at Lin Zhushui, who had no expression on his face, and nodded heavily.
After getting their respective room cards, Lin Jue called Zhou Jiayu to stop. Zhou Jiayu thought she had something to tell herself, but when she saw her coming to her ear, she said a word: "We have long been Now that you know who you are, you don't have to worry so much."
Zhou Jiayu's eyes widened in disbelief after hearing this: "Understood?"
Lin Jue said, "Yeah."
Zhou Jiayu said, "When?"
Lin Jue said, "Do you think Zhushui will keep you if your identity is not discovered?"
Zhou Jiayu: "..." It makes sense.
Lin Jue sighed: "Don't underestimate their IQs. Although Shen Yiqiong is careless, he is the smartest in some things. He is intuitive and knows how to take advantage of advantages and avoid disadvantages."
Indeed, it was Shen Yiqiong who showed goodwill towards him at first. Zhou Jiayu thought it was his character, but now that I think about it, Shen Yiqiong's character is a kind of coarse and fine, if he is really a liar , Shen Yiqiong will never change his attitude towards him just because of one meal.
Zhou Jiayu had guessed that Lin Zhushui already knew that he was reborn, but he didn't expect that not only Lin Zhushui, but almost everyone in the room knew.
"So don't have a psychological burden." Lin Jue said, "What should you do? You don't need to bear the sins that don't belong to you. You are not inferior to them."
Zhou Jiayu was very moved, and thanked Lin Jue repeatedly.
"Okay, go to bed early." Lin Jue said, "I have to go to other places tomorrow."
Zhou Jiayu nodded.
That night, Zhou Jiayu slept soundly. He felt that he had left a huge burden and completely lost his identity as a liar.
The next day, Shen Yiqiong took off his suit and changed back to the black boy Zhou Jiayu was familiar with, wearing a T-shirt, jeans and flip-flops, looking very casual.
Ye Zhen also came to the door of the hotel early, she still followed the middle-aged man, Zhou Jiayu only knew that this man was Ye Zhen's uncle when she got into the car. It's just that I don't know why I didn't speak much from the beginning to the end. Ye Zhen explained that there was a problem with his language and it was difficult to speak. As for what the problem was, she didn't elaborate, and it was not easy for outsiders to ask.
Although it's late August, the weather is still a little too hot. And Lin Zhushui didn't even want to touch the meal. Zhou Jiayu was afraid that he would be hungry in the morning, so he borrowed the kitchen to make a hearty breakfast and lunch for him, and brought it directly to the car.
Ye Zhen was a little curious when she saw this, but didn't dare to ask.
Ye Zhen's hometown is right next to Shen Yiqiang city, not too far away, it takes more than two hours to drive to the highway.
In the car, Ye Zhen told some more about her family's situation. It turned out that she still hid something about her family's affairs. She was not just playing dogfighting at all. She even opened a small fighting field at home. There was also a dog-fighting event... She looked a little nervous when she said this, obviously a little afraid that Lin Zhushui would turn her face because of her concealment.
But she didn't expect that after she finished speaking, Lin Zhushui was not surprised at all, just casually hummed, as if she had guessed it long ago.
Ye Zhen was relieved.
However, although Lin Zhushui didn't care, Lin Jue was a little unhappy. Before, he was polite to Ye Zhen, but his face was gloomy all the way.
A few hours later, they arrived at Ye Zhen's house. Being able to buy Lin Zhushui's paintings, Ye Zhen's family is also rich in heritage, the old house looks quite luxurious, but it can clearly feel that the style here is still a bit worse than Shen Yi's poor family.
"Mr. Lin, do you want to take a rest first, or... go to the kennel to see?" Ye Zhen smiled very flatteringly, "The kennel is not far away, just a few steps away."
"Go and see the dog who sees things first." Lin Zhushui said.
Ye Zhen nodded and said ok, she looked very happy, she obviously wanted to solve this matter early, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Ye Zhen's kennel is not far from her old house. The kennel is beautifully built. From the outside, it is difficult to imagine that it is a place dedicated to raising dogs. But before Zhou Jiayu went in, he smelled a stench of blood from a distance.
"This way, please." Ye Zhen showed everyone the way.
Several people walked into the kennel one by one. The kennel was still in use, and the dog's suppressed growl could be vaguely heard. There are cages on both sides of the kennel road, some cages are empty, and some cages have dogs. These dogs smelled the breath of strangers, and their emotions suddenly became manic. Zhou Jiayu noticed that a dog beside him had been digging the cage with its claws, barked at him and barked, looking very cruel.
"The dogs inside are the best." Ye Zhen introduced, "All the dog breeds here have been trained by special personnel, and their ferocity has been stimulated. I also have a victorious general, and none of the dogs in the arena belonged to him. Rival." She said this with a proud look on her face, obviously happy that she could raise such a dog.
"What about mutated dogs?" Lin Jue was not very interested in this. She didn't like Ye Zhen who concealed information, nor did she like this dog farm with a bad atmosphere. It would be best to solve the problem as soon as possible and leave. of.
"It's inside." Ye Zhen hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "My favorite dog has also changed..."
She led the crowd around a few corners and entered the room.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhou Jiayu saw several huge cages and a dog resting on the ground in the corners of the cages. The dog was huge, with tangled muscles all over his body, but the most striking thing was not its size, but the black hair that was scattered behind him. If someone who doesn't know it comes in to watch, I'm afraid at first glance, the dog will be mistaken for a person squatting on the ground.
"This, this is it." When Ye Zhen faced the dog before, she was full of pride and uncontrollable smugness, but when she saw the giant dog in front of her, there was a very obvious fear in her eyes, she said, "His hair is getting longer and his face is starting to be… human-like."
As she spoke, she saw the giant dog, who had turned his back on them, slowly turned his head. Seeing its appearance, everyone's breathing stopped slightly. It turned out that Ye Zhen was telling the truth, the dog's face actually began to change towards humans, its nose slumped down, its lips began to shrink back, all the hair on its face fell off, revealing pink skin.
Zhou Jiayu got goosebumps on his arm, he finally remembered where Ye Zhen had described these dogs before, where his strange familiarity came from - this kind of dog he had seen when his soul left the body, It's similar to the strange creature that confronted the emissary on the street.
"Just this one?" Lin Zhushui asked.
Ye Zhen shook her head, pointed to a door next to it, and whispered, "There are a few more behind that door."
"How many?" Lin Zhushui raised his brows.
Ye Zhen smiled awkwardly, "A few, dozens..."
Lin Zhushui said, "Which dog was the first to change?"
Ye Zhen said, "One of them is already dying. Mr. Lin, do you want to go in and have a look?"
Lin Zhushui said, "Let's go."
Originally, Zhou Jiayu was still wondering why Ye Zhen had to hide the number of dogs, but as soon as he entered the room, he showed a look of astonishment. This Ye Zhen actually kept dozens of dogs in the same cage, even though the cage was quite large. Yes, but the bloodstains on the ground and on the wall indicate that the dogs are not getting along well. Zhou Jiayu also saw some damaged fur in the corner...
"You keep the fighting dogs together?" Lin Jue's reaction was similar to Zhou Jiayu's, with a hint of anger in his tone.
"I can't do anything about it." Ye Zhen said, "What if this is an infectious disease, what if it infects other dogs?"
"If this is an infectious disease, wouldn't you be the first to be infected?" Lin Jue sneered.
Ye Zhen bit her lip and stopped talking.
The dozens of fighting dogs in the cage all had black hair, and their faces were also changing towards humans. They sat in the corners covered by shadows and looked at the people with their eyes, without making a sound from beginning to end. , this picture makes my scalp numb.
"Which one changed first?" Lin Zhushui asked.
"The one inside." Ye Zhen whispered, "The thinnest one, the brown... pit bull."
Zhou Jiayu looked towards the deepest part of the cage, and he really saw a pit bull huddled in the corner. The pit bull was obviously smaller than the surrounding fighting dogs, with his back to everyone, his black hair was almost about to fade. Its body is wrapped.
"Open the cage." Lin Zhushui said, "I want to go in."
As soon as he said this, Ye Zhen's eyes widened instantly, "But, but these dogs are very dangerous, they will attack humans, and even kill the breeders..."
Lin Zhushui repeated indifferently, "Open the cage."
Ye Zhen was hesitant to hear the words, but in the end she took out the key in her pocket according to what Lin Zhushui said.
The author has something to say: Lin Zhushui: Don't try to bully my little stupid fish except me.
Zhou Jiayu was lying on the bed and was bullied with tears in his eyes, crawled forward without strength and was dragged back abruptly
