Tomb robber: No more pretending, I’m from the Zhang family!

Chapter 253 Chapter 254: The New Moon Hotel

The people who came in with him were all dead, and there was no need for the fat man to continue exploring, so he turned his head and walked back.

At this time, a strange thing happened. When the fat man was walking back, he found that the way back seemed to be a little different from the way he came in.

He couldn't tell exactly what was different, it just felt weird.

Sure enough, after walking back for a while, he found that the passages he came in had all changed, some had disappeared, and some had been diverted!
After learning of this result, the fat man was shocked.

He continued to walk back for more than an hour, but found that the passage was winding, and after walking a long circle, he returned to the original place!

Only at this moment did the fat man realize that he was already trapped here!
Fortunately, the fat man was calm enough. He overcame the fear in his heart, then walked back, and carved the route he had traveled on his stomach with his nails for recording.

The passages inside will overlap every once in a while, returning to the order of the first time they came in. After being trapped for more than a week, the fat man finally found his way back, but he also lost most of his life.

He was dying when he went out.

Fortunately, he was discovered by everyone in time, and his life was saved.

…………

Changsha on the other side.

After waking up early in the morning on the second day, Tian Zhen and Zhang Yunfeng went directly to the station and bought two train tickets to the capital.

Although the plane is much faster, Zhang Yunfeng has no ID card, so he can only take the green train.

Fortunately, the journey to the capital is not very far, and it takes only one day and one night to get there.

After a day and night of ups and downs, the two finally arrived at the station in the capital.

It was already past 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. After leaving the station, they found a small hotel nearby and stayed overnight.

After finding a good hotel, the two ate a meal of boiled mutton.

The hotel is very close to the Crescent Hotel, just a few minutes away.

Go there tomorrow morning, just in time.

Silent all night.

After getting up and having breakfast the next morning, the two went to the Crescent Hotel.

This Crescent Hotel was built during the Republic of China. The architectural style of the hotel is full of the characteristics of the late Qing Dynasty.

The people who come here are all real antique connoisseurs. Although this restaurant looks like a restaurant on the surface, it is actually similar to an auction place, and the auctions are all high-end antiques.

Things like Liulichang, Panjiayuan, or the antique market in Changsha, compared with those here, they are street stalls!
When the two arrived at the gate, they were stopped by security guards.

"Sorry, gentlemen, formal attire is required to enter the hotel!" One of the security guards said in an unquestionable tone.

It is the rules of the Crescent Hotel to wear formal clothes to enter and exit. What is important is a table and a class. If you wear a pair of big pants, a vest, etc., you will not be allowed in at all.

The two of them didn't know the rules of the hotel, so when they came out, they just put on a set of casual clothes.

Looking around at the people coming in and out, they were all in suits and leather shoes, and the two of them felt a little embarrassed at once.

But I have to say that the Crescent Hotel knows how to make money. Seeing their embarrassed looks, one of the security guards said, "Gentlemen, if you don't have formal clothes, you can buy them from us."

As he spoke, he pointed to a small stall next to him. The stalls sold all formal clothes, including suits, Chinese tunic suits, Tang suits and so on.

The two looked at each other helplessly, so they had no choice but to go to the booth to have a look, and then picked two sets of Chinese tunic suits, which cost more than 100 yuan.

Then put on the clothes in the fitting room, and then entered the gate.

After entering the hotel, the first thing you see is that the hotel has three floors. The first floor has the most people, most of whom are scattered seats. The second floor is VIP boxes, and each box has sofas and tea sets.

As for the third floor, there are closed rooms one by one, which are probably used for storing items or living for staff.

There is also a large stage in the middle of the hotel, where a group of people are busy preparing for the auction.

It was the first time for both of them to come here, and some couldn't find their way, so they asked a guy from the hotel to show them the way.

Under the leadership of the buddy, the two came to the elevator.

Just when the elevator was about to close, another person suddenly walked in from outside. This guy was wearing a black suit with a pink shirt inside, and looked effeminate.

Looking at his appearance, he is a little handsome, but that pink shirt makes him feel very girly.

This guy also sprayed perfume on his body. Once he entered the elevator, the whole elevator was filled with the smell of perfume.

This person is Xiao Hua!

The hotel clerk obviously knew him, and when he saw him, he said with a smile on his face: "Master Hua, you are here."

Xiaohua nodded without saying a word, then looked at Zhang Yunfeng, and Tianzhen and Tianzhen sized them up.

At the same time, Tian Zhen also looked at him, and suddenly felt that this guy looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and the other party seemed to have this feeling too, and the two looked at each other for a while.

Tianzhen has been hanging out in Hangzhou these years, and occasionally goes to Changsha, so he basically has no acquaintances in the capital.

He thought for a while but couldn't remember where he had seen this guy.

But out of politeness, he still pestered the other party with a smile.

Xiao Hua's expression was similar to his, and she really couldn't remember who he was, so she smiled at him friendly.

After a while, the elevator stopped, and everyone got out of the elevator one after another. Before leaving, Xiao Hua glanced at them with some doubts on her face.

After getting out of the elevator, there is the inner hall of the hotel. This restaurant was originally rebuilt from an old theater. Standing in the corridor next to it, or in the boxes on the second floor, you can clearly see the stage in the middle.

Occasionally, operas are sung here for local people to listen to, but now the stage has been emptied, and things for auction are being arranged.

When a buddy next to him passed by, he said expectantly: "It seems that there is another good thing to be auctioned today."

When Tian Zhen and Zhang Yunfeng heard that there was going to be an auction here, they quickly stopped the buddy and asked him what he was selling.

The buddy glanced at them, smiled and said, "Is this the first time? Ask the waiter for a copy of the auction guide, and you will know."

With that said, he headed towards the scattered seats on the first floor.

"Auction guide?" Naively scratched his head, then looked around, trying to find a waiter.

There are also many waiters in the restaurant, both male and female.

Just at this time, a waitress walked by the two of them with a tray of tea and a stack of auction guides.

Tianzhen had the cheek to ask the waitress for an auction guide, and then the two stood aside to read it.

There are pictures in the auction guide, as well as the introduction of the items. Most of them are some expensive antiques, which cost dozens or even millions. There are dozens of pieces.

The two of them didn't have time to take a closer look. After a brief glance, they were ready to find the old woman.

So, a guy from a restaurant was called to help lead the way.

In order to save innocent face, Zhang Yunfeng directly acted as his bodyguard: "Hello, he is the young master of the Wu family, please take us to find Mrs. Huo."

"Master Wu? Okay, please come with me..." The man looked up and down at Tian Zhen, and then led the way directly.

Both of them were wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and Zhang Yunfeng was tall and burly, he looked like a bodyguard, so the guys didn't doubt their identities much.

Under the leadership of the staff, everyone went up a staircase to the box area on the second floor.

Compared with the crowded one on the first floor, the second floor is more classic and elegant, with a lot fewer people, and the decoration is also better, and there are some western features. All the rooms on this floor are private rooms.

After everyone came to the second floor, they circled the circular corridor for more than half a circle, and finally stopped at the door of a box.

"You two, Mrs. Huo will be waiting for you inside." The hotel clerk smiled and walked away.

The two looked at the entrance of the private room, and found that the lintel of the private room was very classically decorated with carved decorations, and there was a couplet on it, and the words [Cai He Tang] were written on the door.

Most of the people who can come to the dining room on the second floor are well-known local figures, ordinary people can't get in even if they have money.

But at this time the door of the box was closed tightly, and the people inside seemed to have noticed their arrival, so they opened the door. The first thing they saw was a huge screen, and there were a few faint figures inside the screen.

The two didn't hesitate when they saw this, they stepped into the box, walked around a coral curtain, came to the screen, and immediately smelled a faint Tibetan fragrance.

Tibetan incense is a Buddhist product, and the price is quite expensive. It has the effect of calming and rejuvenating the mind. From this, it can be seen that the specifications of the Crescent Hotel are indeed not low.

The box is quite luxuriously furnished, with crystal chandeliers hanging above the head, a big red carpet on the floor, and lotus reliefs on the walls, giving people a classical and elegant feeling.

The two stepped on the big red carpet, walked around the big screen, and came to the front of the box, where they found a huge round table with two people eating there.

These two people are both women, one old and one young. The old one has white hair all over his head, but his skin is well maintained. There are not many wrinkles and freckles on his face. This person is old lady Huo.

The other one was a little girl who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, with white skin, but a somewhat charming appearance, a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, a delicate oval face, and a small bumpy figure.

This little girl exudes a charm all over her body.

She is Huo Xiuxiu!

Tian Zhen immediately went up with a smile on her face, and said hello to them: "Hello, are you Granny Huo? I am Wu Xie from the Wu family."

The old woman put down the bowls and chopsticks, wiped her lips with a paper towel, glanced at him casually, and said in a somewhat indifferent tone: "This body and appearance are almost carved out of the same mold as Old Dog Wu. I really can't figure it out. Back then you Why did grandma marry him."

The old woman's words were sour. In fact, she really wanted to marry Wu Laogou back then, but Wu Laogou felt that she was not suitable to be a wife, so she married a southern girl instead.

This southern girl, who is Tian Zhen's current grandma, is a lady of every family, with a bookish air about her body, gentle speaking, elegant and easy-going behavior, and the most important thing is that she has no ambitions!
Tianzhen has heard more or less about the old woman and his grandfather. After hearing this sentence, she didn't know what to say, so she just stood there and giggled.

Old lady Huo saw that he was giggling, so she said again: "When you smile, you look more like Old Dog Wu. It doesn't look like a good thing! Your grandma was really wrong back then, and she married a scum like Old Dog Wu."

When Tian Zhen heard this, not only was he not angry, but he was a little proud. Before he heard others say that his grandfather had an affair with this old woman, and now it seems that it is true!

It's just that he can't figure it out, his grandfather looks rustic, and his mouth is not easy to fool, why there are so many romantic pasts back then?
The girl Huo Xiuxiu, seeing Tian Zhen's dazed look, smiled charmingly at the side, seeming quite interested.

Old lady Huo picked up her teacup and took a sip, then looked at Naive with an indifferent expression, and asked: "Did you bring the things, and you can set a price for how much it will cost."

Naive didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the style thunder in his arms, weighed it in front of the old woman's eyes, and said: "Grandma, I can sell this thing to you, but I want to know what you want it for? What exactly is the building in this style?"

"You don't need to know this, and I won't tell you. You just need to make an offer. Let's go early. I don't want to see your Wu family!" Old lady Huo said coldly.

When Tian Zhen heard this, she felt a little upset. It had been several minutes since they came in, and the old woman didn't invite them to sit or drink tea. Isn't it too contemptuous?

It shouldn't be like this because of love and hatred!
After all, decades have passed between her and her grandfather.

Thinking of this, the naive face became less pretty, and he put away the style mine directly, and said with an indifferent look: "This thing is not important to me, and I know it's not worth much money. , if you are willing to tell me the usefulness of this thing and its origin, maybe I can give it to you for free!"

"Hehe! Don't worry, boy, I don't like to owe favors to others, old woman, as much as I want, I don't need you to give it away for nothing!" Old lady Huo sneered indifferently.

Seeing her attitude naively, she was even more upset.

"Well, since you don't want it, I'll ask someone else!" Then Tian Zhen turned around and gestured to Zhang Yunfeng, "Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately walked out of the box.

No hesitation at all!
It wasn't until this moment that the old woman began to look at Zhang Yunfeng. When she saw that familiar face, the old woman's complexion suddenly changed, showing a guilty and sad expression!
Obviously she knew Zhang Yunfeng!

"You... you came out? Remember me?"

The old woman looked at Zhang Yunfeng tremblingly and said.

Hearing this, Tian Zhen, who was halfway there, immediately stopped and looked at them with a dazed expression.
