The live-streamed object exploration made me release that bird.

Chapter 51 Cross-Province Journey: The First Trigger of the Calligraphy and Painting Commission

The following morning at 10:00 AM, Yang Xun drove to Jiang's Hotel on time because he had arranged to meet his online friend "Brother Hong" Lin Hong at Jiang's Hotel at 10:00 AM.

"Anchor Yang, there are guests waiting for you in room number 8. Are they here looking for you again, someone looking for your pet?"

Jiang Ran was very curious. Before 10 o'clock, a man in his forties opened room number 8 and waited for Yang Xun.

"It's a fan/netizen."

Yang Xun mumbled something, walked over, pushed open the door to the private room, and went inside.

Lin Hong, who was drinking tea inside, saw Yang Xun enter and quickly stood up, smiling politely, "Anchor Yang, you're here. Please have a seat, let's eat and chat."

He then said to Jiang Ran, who had followed him in, "Mr. Jiang, the dishes can be served now."

"it is good."

Jiang Ran nodded and left.

After sitting down and taking a few sips of tea, Yang Xun looked at the distinguished Lin Hong and asked, "Brother Hong, what is it that you need my help to find that requires you to rush over to meet me?"

"Anchor Yang, I'm in a hurry. If I wasn't, I wouldn't have turned down some work to come here."

Lin Hong replied, then added expectantly, "Anchor Yang, it's like this, my ancestors left me an antique painting and calligraphy, but it's hidden in the ancestral home."

My ancestral home is in disrepair due to years of neglect, and the recent heavy rains have made it shaky and on the verge of collapse. However, according to a tattered note left by my ancestors, the antique calligraphy and painting is hidden inside the ancestral home. I have asked many people to come and search with instruments, but they have not been able to find it.

Now I can't just stand by and watch my ancestral home collapse, so I want to repair it. Therefore, I'm very anxious to find that antique calligraphy and painting before the ancestral home collapses again.

I'm afraid that if this drags on, even if the ancestral home doesn't collapse, the news will have already spread, and many people will covet it and take risks, directly and violently searching for that antique calligraphy and painting in my ancestral home. My ancestral home is in the countryside, and it's impossible to have someone guarding it all the time. Even if we install surveillance cameras, it certainly won't be able to stop those with ulterior motives.

So I rushed over here to see if you, host Yang, could help me find this antique painting. Regardless of its value for now, I'm willing to offer 50,000 yuan as a reward if you can find it for me.

Even if we can't find it, if you, Yang, are willing to go and look for it, I'll cover all your travel and accommodation expenses, and I'll even give you an extra two thousand yuan as a reward.

"Please, Mr. Yang, seriously consider my request. Could you come back with me and help me find that antique painting?"

Ding.

[Object Search Commission: Lin Hong has commissioned you to find a piece of calligraphy and painting in his ancestral home. Accept? Refuse?]

Yang Xun was surprised when a notification popped up on his forehead right after Lin Hong finished speaking, and this notification greatly excited him.

The long-awaited exploration has finally been triggered for the first time.

Not to mention, in the future, they can walk on two legs, helping people find their pets on one hand, and also helping people find all kinds of lost and missing items on the other. Their business will definitely become busier and busier, and they will earn more and more money.

Lin Hong looked at Yang Xun, who was suddenly stunned, and asked again, "Anchor Yang, what's your decision? Why don't you come with me to look for him? I promise you'll eat well, sleep well, and be well taken care of throughout the trip."

Coming to his senses, Yang Xun secretly accepted the commission and asked curiously, "Brother Hong, I'm a little curious. My live stream content has always been about helping people find various pets, and I've never helped anyone find any items. Why do you want to place your hopes on me, Brother Hong? Finding pets and finding items are two different things."

"intuition."

Lin Hong thought for a moment and said, "I've watched almost all of your live streams, Yang. Maybe others think you find those pets by their scent."

But in my opinion, Yang, you definitely don't rely on this aspect. You must have mastered a unique method to accurately calculate where the pets are. If that's the case, the same goes for items. You should also have a way to calculate where the items are.

"Mr. Yang, this is just my personal guess. Only you, Mr. Yang, know whether it's right or wrong."

Yang Xun was secretly surprised. He hadn't expected Lin Hong to be so clever, guessing so many facts close to the truth just by watching his live stream.

However, he didn't answer the question. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother Hong, you're exaggerating. Since you're so hospitable, I won't mind going with you to take a look."

However, I can't make any guarantees. After all, finding an item and finding a pet are two different things. I just hope you won't regret wasting my precious time later.

Lin Hong nodded excitedly, "Anchor Yang, I won't regret it. Even if you don't find that antique painting for me in the end, I won't be in any trouble. I promise to treat you well. Anchor Yang, shall we set off after we finish eating?"

"OK."

Without further ado, Yang Xun and Lin Hong finished their meal in half an hour. After Lin Hong paid the bill, Yang Xun got into his car under Jiang Ran's watchful eye and sped away after Lin Hong's car.

Lin Hong is from a neighboring province, and the county where his ancestral home is located is about 400 kilometers away from Jiang's Restaurant.

Around 3 p.m., Yang Xun drove after Lin Hong's car and arrived at a spacious office in the county town where Lin Hong's ancestral home was located.

After a few rounds of tea, Lin Hong said, "Anchor Yang, it's getting late. I've already booked a room for you. Please get some rest tonight. We'll go to my ancestral home tomorrow."

Yang Xun was indeed a bit tired from the long journey, but he was still very excited about searching for antiques and calligraphy for the first time. Fearing that things might go wrong if he waited too long, he suggested, "Brother Hong, how far is your ancestral home from here? Why don't we go over and take a look now?"

Lin Hong glanced at him in surprise and said, "Anchor Yang, you don't need to be in such a hurry. My ancestral home is more than 30 kilometers away from here. The road is not easy to travel and it will take about an hour to get there. By then it will be almost five o'clock. I am in a hurry, but it won't make a difference if we take a little more time. Why don't we go there first thing tomorrow morning?"

"No."

Yang Xun refused, saying, "Brother Hong, I'm here to help you find something, not to sightsee. Let's go now and see if we can find it. That way, I can go back sooner, and you can find another solution, Brother Hong."

"Anchor Yang, since you're so eager, let's head over there now."

Lin Hong nodded, stood up, and led the way out.

Just as they stepped outside, an Audi pulled up and stopped. Two people got out: a woman in her forties who was a bit overweight, and a man in his thirties.

"Brother-in-law."

"Lin Hong, where did you go this morning? Why are you only coming back now? I'm planning to have my brother call some people to demolish your ancestral home tomorrow. Once it's demolished, it'll be easy to find out if anything is inside."

Lin Hong glared at his wife Li Mei and refused, saying, "Li Mei, you still want to demolish my ancestral home? Are you crazy?"

Then he looked at his brother-in-law and said, "Ah Shui, if you dare to mess around with your sister, don't blame me for disowning you as my brother-in-law."

Li Shui laughed awkwardly, "Brother-in-law, the news has already spread. Are we just going to do nothing and wait for someone to take your ancestral home? Besides, they'll definitely use force to search for things anyway, and they'll just end up destroying your ancestral home anyway. We might as well demolish it beforehand and find the things."
