Chapter 44: There is such a coincidence
"Brother Guanze. ”
"It's a little tree. Xiaoshu, are you going out?"
Huo Guanze took Gu Junbai home, and the two met Wen Shuting at the gate of the community.
"Brother Gu is good. ”
The two approached Wen Shuting, and also saw Gu Junbai behind Huo Guanze also greeting him. Gu Junbai's eyes swept to the money in Wen Shuting's hand.
"Xiaoshu, are you going to buy something?"
"yes, I'm going to buy soy sauce for my mom. Brother Gu, did you just come back?" Wen Shuting saw that the two of them were still wearing the clothes they wore when they went out yesterday.
"Something happened, just came back. Huo Guanze said casually, but didn't elaborate.
"Xiaoshu, hurry up and buy soy sauce, my brother will go back and change his clothes first. Huo Guanze pulled the clothes on his body. There are all acquaintances in this community, and many people saw it when they went out yesterday, and now they are still wearing yesterday's clothes, which is a little embarrassing and embarrassing.
"Okay, then I'll go buy soy sauce first. Wen Shuting had just taken two steps and remembered again, and he hurriedly called Huo Guanze and the others.
"By the way, Brother Guanze, you wait. ”
"Little tree, what's the matter?"
"I almost forgot, Brother Guanze, you and Brother Gu will come to my house for lunch in a while, and my mother will have prepared the meal. ”
"There's no need to be so troublesome, we can just eat at home. "Although the two families know each other very well, it's not good to take my cousin to dinner. Huo Guanze refused.
"Brother Guan Ze, your Aunt Li went back from an accident at home, and Aunt Gu went out early in the morning, and before leaving, she came to my house and told my mother, let you eat at my house today. ”
"Well, well. I haven't eaten Aunt Ning's cooking for a long time, so I can't think about it. It just so happened that we came back with fish, and we asked Aunt Ning to make steamed sea fish to eat later. You go buy soy sauce first, we'll go back first, and we'll see you later. ”
"I'll see you later. ”
Huo Guanze and the two went back first, Huo Guanze took two of the sea fish he brought back and went to Wen Shuting's house, Wen Shuting's mother Ning Lanyun made them steamed fish and fish soup, and the three young men ate it until they had a good stomach.
"Aunt Ning, your cooking is really delicious, and your craftsmanship is really good. My mother's craftsmanship is so different from yours, and if my mother had half your craftsmanship, I wouldn't have to eat that mostly raw sandwich rice when I was a child. Fortunately, my family invited an aunt later, so that my little life could be saved and I could thrive. Aunt Ning, I envy Xiaoshu. Xiaoshu is so happy, with a mother like Aunt Ning......"
Enjoying the food, Huo Guanze said sweetly and didn't want money, which made Ning Lanyun happy.
"If you like to eat Aunt Ning's cooking, then come and eat often, just like when you were a child. ”
"As long as you don't dislike me for eating too much, I will definitely come often. Huo Guanze climbed up when he saw the pole, and picked it up without face or skin.
"Don't dislike it, it's a blessing to be able to eat, Aunt Ning likes you to come to the house for dinner......"
Gu Junbai and Wen Shuting glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Huo Guanze's mouth was too sweet, which made Ning Lanyun happy, and there was no room for them to talk in this house.
Taking advantage of Ning Lanyun's entry into the kitchen, Wen Shuting hurriedly dragged Huo Guanze on.
"Brother Guanze, you are good at painting portraits, you do me a favor and help me paint a person. ”
"Draw people, draw whom?"
"Brother Guanze, sit down, I'll let you listen. ”
Wen Shuting dragged Huo Guanze to the study, and then he took out a tape and played Huo Guanze to listen, and the voice released was a woman's voice. If you listen closely, you can tell that they are describing a person.
As soon as he heard that it was a little girl who was described, Huo Guanze looked up at Wen Shuting with a wicked smile.
"Say, do you have a crush on other people's little girls?
Wen Shuting was speechless when he heard this.
"Brother Guanze, what nonsense are you talking about? She is a little girl who has just graduated from elementary school, how can I be interesting to her. My goal now is to study hard, learn more about computers, and write and develop better software. ”
"Then why are you painting other people's little girls?" Huo Guanze was skeptical.
"It's not because of my grandmother. Last month my grandmother came to sell my computer book to a second-hand bookstore as a used book, and the book was bought by this little girl. I wanted to find her and give my book back to the book. ”
For this book, he has been worried for almost two months.
It turned out that Aunt He, the proprietress of the used bookstore, suggested that Wen Shuting paint a portrait and find someone, Wen Shuting thought of taking a tape recorder to the bookstore and asking Aunt He to describe Lu Chaoyi's appearance, and he recorded Aunt He's description;
"Isn't it just a book? If you don't have it, you can buy another one, so why bother looking for a needle in a haystack to find such a person. Huo Guanze said disapprehantly.
"There is no such book in China, I asked Sister Yanqing to help me bring it back from Citigroup, but there is only one book. "Otherwise, would he have bothered so much to find someone?
"My sister, could it be that the last time you asked my sister to bring back from Citigroup, the computer book you said. Guan Ze suddenly remembered.
"yes. Brother Guanze, please help me draw, I have to get the book back before school starts. ”
Wen Shuting urged Huo Guanze. Huo Guanze glared at him: "Okay, you can show it to me again, and I'll just draw it for you." ”
Huo Guanze took the paper handed by Wen Shuting, his painting posture was ready, and he muttered dissatisfiedly: "You usually don't pay attention to me when I talk to you, but now I finally beg me, hum ......"
Wen Shuting, who has a request for help, can only listen to Huo Guanze helplessly.
Wen Shuting played it again, and Huo Guanze drew the person described in the recording, the more he painted, the more familiar he felt, isn't this Lu Chaoyi's fierce little girl. No, how is this possible......
Seeing that Huo Guanze stopped, Wen Shuting asked, "Brother Guanze, how do you pull it?"
"No, not yet. You put it on me again, and I'll see if there's anything missing. ”
Wen Shuting did not doubt him, and he played the recording again. Huo Guanze carefully traced, and when the painting was finished, the person on the portrait was not Lu Chaoyi.
At this moment, Gu Junbai knocked on the door and opened the door and came in, just in time to see the portrait in Huo Guanze's hand, Gu Junbai was surprised: "Huo Xiaoze, what are you doing secretly painting Lu Chaoyi's portrait?
As soon as Huo Guanze heard it, he immediately shot back as if he was conditioned.
"Gu Xiaobai, what nonsense are you talking about. I did this for the little tree. ”
Wen Shuting also reacted quickly, and asked almost at the same time:
"Brother Lu Chaoyi, Brother Guanze, do you know her?"
Huo Guanze and Gu Junbai glanced at Wen Shuting, and the two said in unison:
"What are you painting her for?"
"I met yesterday. ”
Then each of them told each other what was going on, and they all understood it.
"Brother Guanze, where is Shigang Village, I'm going to find Shigang Village to find her, I have to buy my books back. Knowing that the person who bought his book was Lu Chaoyi, and knowing that Lu Chaoyi was in Shigang Village, Wen Shuting couldn't wait to get his book back immediately.
It's just that he didn't expect Huo Guanze to refuse and stop him.
"No, I can't. You can't go?"
Huo Guanze stopped Wen Shuting without thinking about it when he heard that he was going to Shigang Village, which made Wen Shuting puzzled.
"Why? Why can't Brother Guanze go?"
Wen Shuting stared at Huo Guanze with puzzled eyes.
"Oops, that's it. Recently, there was a homicide case in Tan County, and the murderer's methods of killing people were extremely cruel, and the people who were robbed and killed were all college students. The murderer's goal is clear, and the murderer's target is a young college student. The murderer has not been caught until now, and it is very likely that the murderer is hiding in the area of Tan County. The police of the city police station are all deployed in the area of Tan County. Tan County is too dangerous right now, you can't go now. Uncle Wen and Aunt Ning are only one child, if you go and have a case, what do you let Uncle Wen and Aunt Ning do. ”
Uncle Wen and Aunt Ning are just a child of Xiaoshu, if something really happens to Xiaoshu, he can't imagine what will happen to Uncle Wen and Aunt Ning, whether they can bear it. Besides, it's his younger brother who grew up with him since he was a child, and he can't watch the little tree go on adventures and dangers.
Wen Shuting was also worried and hesitant when he heard it, but he was even more anxious about his book.
"What about my book? I haven't finished reading it? That book is the first volume, and I can't read the second book until I finish the first volume. I'm about to start school, and when the school starts in Kyoto, I won't be able to get this book. ”
Huo Guanze listened to him and thought for a moment.
"Otherwise, I know the phone number of Shigang Village, I'll call Lu Chaoyi, first ask her if she has any books she bought, and if so, I'll ask her to send them to you. ”
Lu Chaoyi, who was listening to the village chief's chanting in Shigang Village, who was hanging his head and listening to the scriptures, didn't know that there was such a coincidence.
