”How did you and Zhang Chenglin become friends?” This was the question that I was most curious about. The two old men nagged me for a long time, but it did not answer my question.
”Unknowingly, we became friends.”
Old Man Wang's answer was very vague. I looked at Old Man Li, hoping that he would give me a clearer answer.
”We gradually became friends in the archaeology field. Although we didn't say it out loud, our hearts were already together, to the point that Zhang Chenglin capturing us in the end was just for fun, or perhaps it's been a long time since he saw us, wanting to chat with us.”
”This method is really strange, can't we use a more normal method?”
”There's no other way. This is a special way of communication between us.” Old Man Li shrugged. He was helpless but also seemed very happy.
”Are you still robbing tombs?”
”I'm old. I stopped washing up long ago.”
”Then how are you two going to communicate with Zhang Chenglin?”
”Call! ”Now that technology is so advanced, people thousands of miles away are able to communicate in an instant. It's very convenient to communicate with them.”
I was speechless. Previously, I clearly said that I was communicating with Zhang Chenglin in a very special way, but now, it suddenly became a phone call.
”Zhang Chenglin is so rich, and you guys look so shabby, why didn't he help you guys out?”
”Everyone has their own way. Little brother Chen Yang, although we are friends, our paths are different. Furthermore, we are ambitious people, and the competition is not over yet!”
The battle between these two old men and Zhang Chenglin had not ended yet, so their final destination ought to be death.
”That's not right! Aren't you both notorious? Isn't it embarrassing for Zhang Chenglin to invite the two of you? ” I suddenly thought of this fundamental question, ”Furthermore, I heard that the appraiser before the auction are all famous masters. How could your current fame compare to the great master?”
”Although we are notorious, our abilities are still there. Furthermore, we are also people that Zhang Chenglin trusts, that's why he invited us to be his appraiser.”
It seems like the relationship between them and Zhang Chenglin was really not simple, ”Even if you guys have the deep trust of Zhang Chenglin, what's the use of your faces not being trusted by those treasure merchants?”
”Who said we're going to show our faces?” Old Man Li gave me a faint smile, but in my eyes, I felt that he was extremely cunning.
”What do you mean? Are you guys going to do an appraisal on the stage with your faces covered? ”
This is the first time I've heard of it. If no one knows who you are while covering your face, will they believe that your identification is real?
”Yes, we'll wear a mask when we appraise the treasures.”
”That way, won't others doubt the authenticity of the items being auctioned?”
The Old Man Wang explained: ”If this was an ordinary small auction, then this might have been a very important performance, but in this top tier auction, this is just a formality, because everyone knows, such an auction would not have some sort of fake item to trick people. If there is such a thing, then it would be the responsibility of the auction, because the appraiser was also invited by them.”
The Old Man Li added: ”Zhang Chenglin believes in our appraisal skills, that's why he invited us. This matter is entirely under his responsibility, it doesn't have anything to do with the other people who came to auction.”
