After driving through the tropical rainforest for nearly three hours, Li Yu and his party finally arrived at Wei Village. This is a village hidden deep in the valley, with only a narrow and rugged dirt road connected to the outside world. There are dozens of tall buildings with pointed roofs in the village, which look like they are already ruined. Li Yu even feels that just by kicking the pillar under the house, you can knock down a house.

Seeing a car entering the village, two villagers wandering around the entrance of the village came over, stretched out their arms to stop them in front of the car, and then spoke a lot of local dialect in a gusto.

"I'm going to find Boss Sheng, I'm here to attend the auction!"

Cai Meilin rolled down the window glass and shouted loudly to the villagers outside.

When he heard the people in the car speak Chinese, one of the villagers immediately changed to Chinese and asked, "Who did you introduce them?"

He spoke extremely bad Chinese, but at least he could tell the syllables. Cai Meilin reported a name, and the villager nodded, pointed his hand next to him, and said, "Pull the car over there."

Cai Meilin quickly signaled to Li Yu and did as the other party said. Li Yu didn't understand the rules here and had already made it in advance. He followed Cai Meilin's instructions. He drove the car and followed the villagers' instructions to a simple parking lot and parked the car. Next to him, he saw four other cars, two with country A license plates, and two with Chinese license plates. It was obvious that they were driving from China like them, but the people were no longer in the car.

The three of them got out of the car with their luggage. Li Yu pressed the remote control and locked the car door. The villager had stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the key!"

Li Yu was stunned and turned his head to look at Cai Meilin. Seeing that Cai Meilin nodded slightly to him, he obediently handed the key to the villager and said, "Please, brother, don't break the car."

"Don't worry." The villager muttered, and then said, "Everyone comes with me."

Cai Meilin was in front, and Dong Bolin pretended to be a bodyguard, following closely behind. Li Yu was like a ignorant little choreography, walking staggeringly at the end. At the same time, he was secretly observing everything in the village. This was their agreed division of labor. Dong Bolin was an open bodyguard, while Li Yu acted as a pig and eating tiger, showing his weakness in order to surprise him at critical moments and play the role of a surprise weapon.

The village seemed very peaceful, with several elderly people sitting in front of the high-rise building, chatting and leisurely. A group of children ran around, not knowing what games they were playing. Sometimes one or two young people walked by, and they looked like they were doing nothing.

Weicun was originally an ordinary mountain village. The villagers made a living by farming and picking wild fruits. Since they became the contact point of Zhongdu gang, the villagers' income level has increased by taking commissions from cultural relics transactions. Now young people are not willing to farm, and only some elderly people still adhere to their original habits. They plant some rice, grains and vegetables next to the village, just to eat fresh food.

The villagers usually have no business, are far away from the city, have no TV or Internet, and can only pass the time by gambling all day. When the Zhongdu gang wants to hold an auction, it is the festival in the village, because at this time some foreigners can come here to transfer, which can bring some small excitement to the village.

"Here, you guys go up and get checked."

When they arrived at a high building, the villagers leading the team stopped the three of them and ordered them.

"What to check?" Dong Bolin asked.

"Did you bring a gun, do you bring a video recorder and a mobile phone? If you bring it, hand it over now. We will keep it for you. We will take off all our clothes to check when we go upstairs. If you hide these things privately, you will understand the rules." The villagers' tone was a bit threatened.

Cai Meilin had already introduced these rules to Dong Bolin and Li Yu in advance. It is not allowed to bring mobile phones, video recorders, cameras, etc. because he was afraid that someone would secretly take pictures or record the situation at the auction site. As for the fact that he was not allowed to bring guns, it was naturally for the safety of the site. Those who participated in this kind of auction were mixed and all kinds of people had them. If they were to fight on the spot, the consequences would be very serious.

Dong Bolin brought a Type 54 pistol, which was to cover up the need. A big boss like Cai Meilin, the bodyguards around him would make people suspicious instead. Hearing the villagers' instructions, Dong Bolin took out the gun, removed the magazine, and handed it to the villagers. Li Yu and Cai Meilin also took out the phone and handed it to the villagers. The villagers took the things, but didn't say anything, stuffed them directly into a black cloth bag, and handed them to Cai Meilin a sign, saying: "After coming out, I will get your things with the sign."

Dong Berlin ranked first, Cai Meilin was behind, and Li Yu finally went to the highhouse one after another to undergo a safety inspection. The inspection was very strict. It was indeed required that everyone take off their clothes and pass through an airport security door to prevent any weapons from hiding somewhere on their bodies. However, the inspectors allowed them to carry knives with them, probably because they felt that the knives were less lethal. Even if someone used force, others could quickly stop them.

Several drugs brought by Li Yu passed the examination successfully. He placed them in a bottle for treating heart disease, rheumatism and pain, explaining that Boss Cai is old and plagued by illness, so these drugs are always needed. The villagers do not have the ability to identify the functions of the drugs, so he passed the test with a wave of his hand.

After all the inspections were completed, three people came down from another ladder in the high-rise building, and there was a three-wheeled farm truck waiting for them. The driving was a young man with earrings on his ears.

“Get on the bus.”

The man in the earring said to the three of them angrily, and his Chinese was also very stiff.

"Brother, please trouble you." Cai Meilin walked up, took out a few red RMB from her pocket, and stuffed it into the man with the earrings. The RMB is considered a hard currency in Southeast Asia, and its status is even higher than that of the local currency, which is very happy to accept.

The man with earrings rolled his eyes twice, and then said loudly with righteousness: "We don't charge customers tips!"

His voice was so loud that it made people feel that he was not talking to Cai Meilin, but wanted to let others around him hear it. Cai Meilin had been in the mall for a long time, so how could he not know the mystery? He quickly took back the banknotes and praised with his thumbs up: "Brother, I am really a good person, I admire him!"

The agricultural vehicle has no cab, and there is only one person in the front driver's seat, so Cai Meilin had to climb up the bus behind Li Yu and Dong Bolin. Fortunately, there was a layer of straw in the bus, and three people could sit on the ground. Li Yu and Dong Bolin each supported Cai Meilin, and the farm vehicle started rushing toward a jungle behind the village.

In the jungle, there is a path opened by villagers. Only such tricycles can pass through. The Land Rover that Li Yu drove cannot pass. The path is full of leaves and is soft. It is very difficult for the tricycles to drive on it. The sound of the engine makes people feel tired, and the speed of the car is not much faster than that of a snail.

"What time is the boss here?"

After the car drove into the jungle, the earring driver spoke first. Unlike the righteous tone he was in the village, his tone now seemed very humble and even a little flattering.

Cai Meilin understood it, took out the banknotes again and handed them to the driver. The driver was so embarrassed for a second, then reached out to take the banknotes, and the smile on his face looked so sweet.

"This is my second time. The last time I went there more than ten years ago. I took a ox cart." Cai Meilin said to the driver.

"It's much better now, with a place to sleep and a cafe." The driver introduced.

The two chatted for a while, and Cai Meilin asked, "Brother, are there many people coming this time?"

"Even you, there are more than a dozen groups." The driver replied, "There are three groups like you, all from China. There are also Indonesian and Singapore, and there are also Japanese groups here today."

"And there are Japanese?" Dong Bolin asked sensitively, "Are these people regular customers?"

The driver naturally knew everything after collecting Cai Meilin's money. He said, "There are regular customers and fresh customers. For example, Boss Liu, who comes from your China, comes almost every year and is very familiar with Boss Sheng. However, he doesn't spend much money every time, just likes to sweep some of the goods. There is also Boss Taiyuan from Indonesia who is generous and he likes to buy jade. Every time he comes, he comes for jade..."

Li Yu and others listened quietly to him shaking off the details of these cultural relics dealers. In fact, this is also a traditional program for men who earned tips for earrings. He knew that many cultural relics dealers hoped to know more about their competitors, so every time they picked up and dropped off customers, they would ask a few more questions and then sell them to other customers. Cai Meilin gave him a lot of tips just now than others. Men who were always looking at the dishes and the customers were generous, so he said more.

Listening to the earring man introducing the people who have been present, Dong Berlin said: "What are the names of the Japanese who came today? Have they been here?"

"No." said the man with earrings, "It's their first time. I recognize people with these eyes very accurately. As long as they have been there once, I will definitely not be able to recognize them. Their group is three people, the one who leads him, Mr. Sei, who is probably in his fifties. The other two, one is his bodyguard and the other is his doctor. I don't know the name."

"Do you know what they are here to take pictures?" Dong Bolin asked again.

The man in the earring shook his head and said, "I really don't know this. They speak Japanese in the car, so how can I understand them. Their identities were the ones I heard when they went to check."

"Haha, it's okay, actually we just ask casually." Dong Bolin laughed and covered up the matter.

A tricycle flowed through a stream, and a flat ground suddenly appeared in front of it. More than a dozen colorful tents were tied around the flat ground. That was the place for the auction. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
