Chapter 30: Strangers on the Road
The night passed quickly, and when Liu Dong got up from the bed, it was already three poles in the morning.
After opening his hazy sleepy eyes and lying on the bed for a few seconds, Liu Dong gradually regained consciousness, and after looking at the already dazzling sunlight outside the window, Liu Dong reached out and took the alarm clock on the bedside.
"It's half past nine! Oh no, I'm going to Uncle Long's this morning! ”
In the past, Liu Dong's biological clock, which had been meditating and practicing for many years, had always been very accurate. So, although there is an alarm clock at the bedside, there is never a time.
If, during this time, I was almost working day and night to do wood carving, and my body and spirit were too tired. In addition, yesterday's snuffbox made a lot of money, and after seeing that the ideal of many years will be realized, Liu Dong's heart is really relaxed, and many other factors add up, so that Liu Dong's own biological clock has been disordered, so that he usually gets up at half past five, but now he is stunned to get up late.
After seeing the time on the alarm clock, Liu Dong's eyes suddenly widened, remembering that Uncle Long asked him to take the carved Guan Gong statue this morning yesterday. At that moment, he threw away the alarm clock, jumped up from the bed with a 'poof', picked up the clothes next to the bed and put them on quickly, he didn't even bother to brush his teeth, didn't wash his face, and opened the door and ran out.
The anxious Liu Dong's bicycle is naturally pedaling fast, but fortunately, although his car is a little old, but it is better than the leather, if it is replaced by the current small-wheel new bicycle, I am afraid that he is really suspected of being kicked apart.
Liu Dong, who was galloping, walked through the streets and alleys all the way, and was supposed to ride for half an hour, but he arrived in half the time.
If it weren't for the fact that the flow of people in the antique city was too dense and the things sold were special, I am afraid that he would really have the intention of riding directly into it.
"Oops, it's broken!" Seeing that Uncle Long's Taiyi Pavilion was not far away, Liu Dong took a look at the empty rear seat, but his face was full of chagrin, and he patted his forehead vigorously.
It turned out that when he came out of the house, he was only in a hurry. But he forgot to take out the carved statue of Guan Gong from the mustard seed space. Now that there are many people, and it is a large hall with a large number of people, it is really not easy to take it out.
Standing on tiptoe, looking over the crowd, and after searching the street, Liu Dong's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face couldn't help but show joy, and he secretly said in his heart: "By the way, how did you forget it!" ”
Then, he pushed his bicycle to the public toilet on the corner of the street, put the car away, pushed the door and walked in, and after a quarter of an hour, he walked out again with his wooden carved statue of Guan Gong. Although there is a wood carving before and after, but the people around are not much curious, after all, there are many kinds of antiques in the antique city, not to mention holding a wood carving to the toilet, coming in a hurry, and afraid that their things are placed outside in the case of safety, such as porcelain and ancient paintings are easy to break things are carried with you.
In this way, Liu Dong held the statue of Guan Gong in his left hand and pushed the bicycle in his right hand, and walked towards Uncle Long's Taiyi Pavilion.
"Hey, the brother in front of you wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Hearing the voice, Liu Dong couldn't help but turn his head in confusion, and happened to see a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing a black and white striped T-shirt, a pair of blue-black pants, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and about thirty years old, beckoning to him.
"Are you calling me?" Liu Dong asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Hearing his words, the middle-aged man first glanced at the statue of Guan Gong in his arms with affection on his face, and then raised his head and said, "Yes, brother!" Don't know what to call a brother? ”
Looking at the middle-aged man and the two people behind him wearing black shirts and sunglasses, the muscles on their bodies were bulging, exuding a fierce aura from the inside out, obviously bodyguards, Liu Dong understood that the person in front of him was not simple, but he was afraid that he would be either rich or expensive. Moreover, looking at his eyes, Liu Dong could also guess that the person in front of him probably fell in love with the statue of Guan Gong he carved.
"My surname is Liu, but we don't seem to know each other!"
Although this person is not simple, he has nothing to do with his dime, so Liu Dong has a very indifferent look on his face. There's nothing to flatter.
After Zhou Bin heard this, he couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him, who was dressed ordinarily, but his body exuded a quiet and indifferent aura that made people feel comfortable from the inside out.
To be honest, apart from his own old man, as well as some other elders who had long since retired, it was the first time he felt this temperament in a young man today.
However, in the end, he has an extraordinary background and is well-informed, so his heart is not comparable to ordinary people. So, despite the surprise in his heart, there was not the slightest other unusual expression on his face.
"Hehe, brother don't mind, I don't have any malicious intent, I just fell in love with this Guan Gong statue in your hand, I don't know if my brother can transfer it to me, money is not a problem!"
"I'm sorry, I don't want to sell this Guan Gong statue for the time being! Good bye! "Liu Dong, who was in a hurry to see Uncle Long, naturally didn't want to continue wasting time here. Besides, even if he wants to sell this Guan Gong wood carving, he will have to wait until Uncle Long finishes reading it first.
"What, in broad daylight, do you still want to buy and sell?" Looking at the two sturdy men who stopped in front of his bicycle, Liu Dong frowned, and the expression on his face became cold.
Although these two people seem to be strong and strong, and they also have an aura of marching between their walks, and from the faint murderous aura that inadvertently exudes from their bodies, it can be seen that these two people should be elite soldiers who have come down from the battlefield of life and death. But despite this, Liu Dong doesn't take them seriously, with the kung fu he has practiced since childhood, even if these two people together are not his opponents.
"Hehe, the little brother misunderstood! My subordinates are not sensible, and I took them to apologize to you! Saying that, the middle-aged man hugged his fist at him, and then waved his hand at his two bodyguards and ordered: "Tiezi, Da Biao, get out of the way!" ”
Liu Dong saw that there was some sincerity of apology on his face, and the two cold-faced bodyguards had already moved out of the way, so the look on Liu Dong's face also became softened, and after nodding silently, he pushed his bicycle and quickly rushed towards Taiyi Pavilion.
"Sir, don't you want the statue of Guan Gong? Although I don't know how to carve wood, I can also see that the statue of Guan Gong is very beautiful! A stout bodyguard with a scar on his left cheek and chin spoke.
"Yes, how not. This Guan Gong statue is the best of all the Guan Gong statues I have seen before, although I didn't get started just now, but the material should be gloomy wood, but I don't know what the material is gloomy wood. In addition, the carving of this Guan Gong is also excellent, since I have met it, there is naturally no reason to let it go! After a pause, the middle-aged man looked at the back of Liu Dong's cart leaving, and walked forward to chase after him, "Go, follow, and see if there is a chance to invite this Guan Gong statue back!" ”
At this time, Liu Dong, who was walking in front, naturally found a few people following behind, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it's broad daylight, and the antique city is trading valuable works of art, so the public security force here is not weak, and few people dare to blatantly rob things here. In addition, he is very confident in the kung fu he has practiced since he was a child. The average person is not his opponent at all.
"Xiaodong, you're here, come in, Uncle Long has been waiting for you for a long time!" At the door of Taiyi Pavilion, Liu Dong happened to meet Mu Gang, who was standing outside the door and had been waiting for a long time.
"Hehe, I was so tired yesterday, so I woke up a little late this morning." After a pause, Liu Dong stretched out his hand and pointed into the room, and his voice was lowered a little, "Brother Mu, how is it?" The old man isn't angry, is he? ”
"Hehe, as long as you promise to fight with me, I'll send you!" After finishing speaking, Mu Gang rolled the sleeve on his arm, and Mu Ne's face showed a hint of excitement.
After listening to his words, Liu Dong couldn't help waving his hand again and again, "Forget it, I won't fight with you, it's purely looking for abuse, I'd better go in and find Uncle Long!" After finishing speaking, Liu Dong strode inside with his Guan Gong statue in his arms.
