Chapter 274 Information from Big Brother (Uncle)
The old man whispered a few words to the stall owner, and the man naturally nodded and bowed in agreement. After all, he was a rare big customer, and his attitude must be to be as affectionate as possible.
The people watching around were a little puzzled by the old man's behavior, and some even said kindly: "Old man, why don't you read these secret books? Don't be fooled!"
The old man just whispered instructions to the stall owner and did not pay attention to the dissuasion of the people around him.
Yi Xifeng frowned nicely. After all, this incident was too abnormal. From the old man's conversation, he didn't look like someone who could be tricked.
While he was thinking secretly, the fair boy suddenly noticed a bird suddenly flying onto his shoulder and calling to him chirpingly.
The fair boy was a little surprised. The bird on his shoulder was called the red bird. It is a very common bird in the forest. It feeds on insects and grass seeds. However, this bird is very small and extremely afraid of people.
I had never heard of this kind of bird actively looking for people.
But after a second thought, Yi Xifeng understood the key. He immediately turned around and looked around, releasing his inner strength and exploring carefully.
It didn't take long for him to find a familiar round face a few hundred meters behind him. It was Xia Mingfei who was on the mission last night.
Yes, the red bird will not take the initiative to appear in front of you, but it is indeed possible for the red bird to be "persuaded" by the round-faced young man.
However, for the two of them to meet in such a large trading square, it must not be an accident. Otherwise, why don't the two of them come over to say hello instead of using this extremely troublesome method?
The next moment, the fair boy suddenly turned his head and stared at the old man who was discussing things with the young stall owner.
"Could this person be the housekeeper of Ji Rentu that we have been looking for?" He murmured to himself.
However, judging from the actual situation, this person is exactly the person they are looking for.
After all, Xia Mingfei followed Zhao Long to investigate the information last night. If he didn't find any clues, why didn't he go back and rest right now?
When the old man walked away, many of the people who were originally gathered here came up to ask about the price.
Among them was a fair-skinned young man who ran over excitedly and asked: "Uncle! How do you sell this secret book?"
This young man is none other than Yi Xifeng!
"Ouch! Let me go! Who do you call uncle? Who do you call uncle when you are so tall? Remember, you have to call me brother!" the young man yelled.
"But, I am only ten years old this year, why can't I call you uncle?" the fair boy asked with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Damn, you can't even be ten years old... Uh? Are you really only ten years old?" the young man asked with a shocked look on his face.
The fair-skinned young man smiled warmly and politely: "Of course! You are a good boy!"
"You're almost as tall as me! You said you were ten years old? Did you grow up eating farmyard manure?!" the young stall owner couldn't help but complain.
Hearing this, Yi Xifeng visibly froze, but it only lasted for a breath.
Obviously, for a young boy who is used to blaming others, it is the first time for him to be complained about like this. This kind of experience is really too rare for him.
The fair boy raised his head and asked in a cold voice: "I want to buy your secret book, will you sell it?"
The stall owner raised his eyebrows, immediately put on a friendly face, and asked with a smile: "Haha, young man, uncle has long realized that you have extraordinary abilities!"
"But I don't want to buy it now!" Yi Xifeng then changed his words.
"I... brat, where are you entertaining your brother here?!" The young man almost couldn't help but curse.
"I also want a hundred copies! I'm afraid you can't deliver them..."
…
The young man stared at the fair and somewhat shameless young man in front of him with wide eyes, and then lowered his voice and asked: "Tell me! Where to send it?"
"Can I send it anywhere?" Yi Xifeng deliberately showed a contemptuous expression.
"Hmph! That's not a small talk. If you are really rich, just..." Just when the stall owner was halfway through his words, he discovered that there was an extra banknote in the young man's hand. It was also five hundred taels. The young man swallowed it.
Drooling, he continued: "Just tell me the address. Even if it's the end of the world, I will send it to you!"
Yi Xifeng imitated his tone and said: "Hmph! That's not a small tone. If you can really give it away, just..." After saying this, he deliberately glanced at the young stall owner.
The young man felt uncomfortable all over at this sight. He ignored what the old man had just told him and growled in a low voice, "That's it? Even if I give it to Ji Rentu's mansion, where do you want to give it?"
Yi Xifeng paused slightly with his fingers holding the banknote, and the doubts in his heart were answered in the affirmative. He raised his head and glanced at the young man whose eyes were lingering on his fingertips, and said with a contemptuous smile: "He talks a lot about falsehoods, but not a single word of truth!"
After saying that, the fair boy turned around and left.
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, the young stall owner immediately took a step forward and said urgently: "You kid, don't talk nonsense. Did I ever lie to you?"
Yi Xifeng paused, turned to look at the other person and said, "I talked about myself, not you!"
After that, he left the young man behind and disappeared into the crowd, leaving the stall owner alone in the wind...
It wasn't until a few breaths later that the young man's angry roar sounded: "You brat! Don't let me see you again!"
…
Yi Xifeng received a positive answer and naturally he would not let it go easily. When he was trying his best to find the old man, the red bird that just landed on his shoulder and screamed flew back again.
But this time, it didn't land on the young man's shoulder, but hovered within a few feet of his head. Whenever Yi Xifeng came close, it would fly a little further, and then continue to hover in the air.
Yi Xifeng slowly saw the clues. This red bird was obviously guiding him. In this way, under Xia Mingfei's guidance, he soon discovered the traces of the old housekeeper.
Just as the information leaked, the old man was walking towards the auction house at this time. Obviously, the busy auction house was a gathering place for high-quality products. As luck would have it, the auction house that the old man attended was none other than Yi Xi.
The one where the wind was responsible.
There is still about half an hour before the start of the auction here, and there are not many people waiting in the venue at this time.
Fortunately, Yi Xifeng had booked a ticket for this event yesterday, otherwise he would have been asked out by the guards of the auction house if he had come in so rashly, whether his identity would be exposed or not.
The fair young man saw that the upstairs and downstairs were full of people, and there were also Eight Immortals tables and chairs carved from mahogany. It must have been filled with people in a while, and each table had enough refreshments and tea. Even if there was an opera playing on the stage,
It can also achieve relatively satisfactory results.
"Sure enough, those who do auctions are all good at business!" Yi Xifeng murmured to himself.
However, this time he followed the other party in, and many of the thoughts that had been swirling in the young man's mind before were gradually outlined.
