"Then are you still attending the afternoon auction?"
Bai Xiangwei asked doubtfully.
"I won't participate, what about you?"
Wang Tao looked at Shen Aobing and Yuan Ziling.
Both women shook their heads.
Now that I have seen the items to be auctioned, I have no interest in going to the auction.
Bai Xiangwei sent the three of them out of Bai's house. After hesitating for a while, she looked at Wang Tao and asked.
"When will you come to see a doctor?"
"Wait until the tiger recovers from his injury! It will only take three to five days."
Wang Tao thought for a while and said.
Bai Xiangwei nodded, watched the vehicle of Wang Tao and others disappear, and took out the phone with a slight frown.
"Lao Hai, help me find the businessman who resells cultural relics, and ask how the meteorite was obtained?..."
After hanging up the phone, she thought for a while before slowly walking towards the back house of the Bai family.
"Wang Tao, when we see a doctor, we must not be superstitious."
Shen Aobing looked at Wang Tao holding the box and said worriedly.
"I'm not sick. If you don't believe me, can you test me?"
As soon as Wang Tao said his words, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Sure enough, he saw Shen Aobing's face turned red, as if he was about to bleed, and he gave Wang Tao a soft look.
Wang Tao's bones softened at Shen Aobing's white glance, and the box in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Yuan Ziling burst out laughing when she saw Wang Tao's bearish appearance.
"Brother Tao, can others test it?"
"Yuan Ziling, are you ashamed?"
Shen Aobing fell out on the spot.
When Wang Tao saw that the two girls had turned against each other, he quickly put the suitcase on his head and ran away. The moment he closed the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I almost got hurt accidentally, but luckily I ran fast.
Wang Tao thought about putting the suitcase on the table and opening it, revealing the yellow root-shaped meteorite inside.
"Xiao Honghong, are you out working?"
Wang Tao stretched out his little finger to tap the red spots behind his ears.
Piaohong buzzed and flew to the meteorite.
It lay on the meteorite and crawled from left to right and then from right to left. Finally, it suddenly leaned back, revealing its big belly, and kept pointing at its belly with one paw.
"You mean there is treasure in here?"
"Buzz."
"Is the treasure very valuable?"
"Buzz."
Wang Tao nodded as if he understood. He picked up the meteorite and knocked it with his hand. It was extremely hard.
He took out the dagger and stabbed it a few times, but not even a white mark was left.
Let me go, is this too hard?
Wang Tao thought of the arrow that the Zuo family used to shoot him. It was made of extremely hard stainless steel.
He held the handle of the arrow with both hands and stabbed it hard at the meteorite. As a result, there was a clang and the arrowhead became bald without leaving any mark on the meteorite.
It is indeed a meteorite, an alien object from the sky, and its hardness alone is enough to be invincible on this planet.
Wang Tao nodded with satisfaction and waved the meteorite a few more times. It was surprisingly smooth.
Hey! Even if you can't get the treasure inside, it's not bad to just use it as a weapon.
It's just that this shape is a bit unsightly.
Wang Tao went out to the hardware store, brought back an angle grinder and a cutting machine, and cut the meteorites alone in his room.
"Bang bang."
"Who?"
Wang Tao heard a knock on the door.
"The earth is shaking. Are you planning to demolish the house?"
Shen Aobing asked angrily.
"It's okay, I'm going to make a handy weapon myself."
Wang Tao said perfunctorily.
From dusk to dark, the grinder and angle grinder Wang Tao bought were scrapped, and there was not even a crater left in the meteorite.
Wang Tao was completely convinced.
This hard material was the first time he had seen it.
Wang Tao was cleaning up the house in disgrace, when he saw Piaohong flying to the meteorite with a buzzing sound. It lay on the meteorite, opened its mouth and started to eat.
Wang Tao was startled, thinking that his red teeth would not fall out, right? Then he saw a surprising scene.
I saw that Piao Hong had chewed out a small crater on the meteorite.
Is the tooth mouth so powerful? Wang Tao was surprised when he thought that Piao Hong had been lying behind his ear. If he were to take a bite one day, his head would be eaten off.
Piao Hong ate for a while and then rested with her big belly on her back. It seemed that eating this food not only consumed her physical strength but also made it difficult to swallow.
It will take until the Year of the Monkey to bite this meteorite open with your mouth?
Wang Tao had no other way, so he had to put the meteorite in his arms and let Piao Hong eat it when she was hungry.
Fortunately, the meteorite is not too big at over twenty centimeters.
After dinner, Wang Tao went back to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed to practice. While playing, he turned red and continued to eat hard on the meteorite.
The next day, Wang Tao got up very early as usual, had breakfast, and the three of them took a car to the company.
As soon as he arrived at the company, Lao Qin hurriedly greeted him with an ugly face.
"General Manager, something serious has happened."
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Lao Qin's ugly face, Shen Aobing felt an unknown feeling in his heart.
"The survey team and construction team that went up the mountain yesterday afternoon have not returned yet. This morning I took people up to look for them, but no one was found."
"The person is missing? How could it be?"
Shen Aobing's face changed slightly, but he was not worried at all.
There are no wild animals in Qingyun Mountain, and there are no steep and dangerous places. Normal people will be fine spending a night on the mountain.
"How many are they?"
"Twenty-three people. I didn't think they would disappear, but there's not even a trace of them since I found them in the morning?"
Lao Qin's face was solemn. Although he couldn't believe it, he had to believe it.
The fact is that all twenty-three people are missing.
"Did you call the police?"
"No, how can I dare to make the decision on this matter? If something happens, our company will be finished."
Lao Qin reminded.
"You're right. Have you asked the missing person's family?"
"I asked several people, but they all said they didn't go back."
"Okay, I get it. Keep looking and search everywhere you can. I don't believe that more than twenty people can still be missing."
Shen Aobing said hello to Yuan Ziling and Wang Tao and quickly ran towards the office.
This matter must be notified to the Yuan family. If the Zuo family and the Shi family are causing trouble, only the Yuan family can argue with them.
Yuan Dingshan soon learned the news. He made several phone calls with a solemn expression, and his expression became even worse when he came back.
"There is no news at all in the underground society. It should not be the work of Heibang. I will go back to find my father and go to the historian's house to find out. Just sit here and pretend that nothing happened. If you want to find someone secretly, send a few messengers.
Go."
Yuan Dingshan told Shen Aobing and hurried away.
Wang Tao was thoughtful and volunteered to follow Lao Qin to the mountains to look for him.
All the equipment on the mountain is there, but there are no people.
Wang Tao suddenly remembered the information he heard that day in the basin behind the mountain.
Sacrificing a place? What kind of place? Could it have anything to do with this?
He pretended to be tired and went down the mountain, refusing Lao Qin's offer to send him away. When he reached a deserted place, he put on his mask and headed straight for the last mountain leader.
Although the serious injury has not healed, his state has been improved to the late stage of Qi refining, and he is only stronger than before.
He vaguely felt that this disappearance must have something to do with the Zuo family, and even the sacrifice of the place was a conspiracy by the Holy Religion.
Wang Tao came to the basin again, which is also where the leader of the mountain trend is located.
