At seven fifty-five, Yang Mucheng walked into the gate of the Zhongtian Club on time. At eight o'clock in the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, he had already sat in the private room arranged by Zhao Fengwu.

Because the only people who ate today were Yang Mucheng and Zhao Fengwu, Lao Kong also sat at the table. It seems that the last time the town was in Tibet, Lao Kong refused to sit alive or dead.

"Brother Zhao, Uncle Kong, this is a gift for the two of you."

Yang Mucheng handed over the two boxes, which were gifts he had brought back when he returned from Africa. Since you go out, you naturally have to bring some local products to give gifts, which will not seem deliberate, but can also be accepted by people.

"The gift from Brother Wood has always been in my mind, and I want to see what new things I bring this time."

Zhao Fengwu took the box and opened it with a smile.

"A little gift, I don't know if it can enter Brother Zhao's eyes."

Yang Mucheng sat in place with a smile, watching Zhao Fengwu's expression.

"Generous! Not bad! That's nice! I like it! ”

As soon as the box was opened, Zhao Fengwu immediately praised again and again!

Lao Kong hadn't opened his box yet, and when he heard Zhao Fengwu, who had seen many big scenes, so admired, he couldn't help but lean over to watch. After seeing it, he immediately gasped and gave Yang Mucheng a thumbs up.

The gift that Yang Mucheng brought back this time was a wood carving of rosewood and sandalwood from Africa, and the shape and craftsmanship of the carving were naturally needless to say, and it must be meticulously carved.

However, it is ingenious that this wood carving also has seven diamonds the size of rice grains added to it as the grain changes and moves. Lined up, it is actually the same as the Big Dipper in the sky.

That's it, what is even more amazing is that if you look closely, you will see that the texture of these woods actually looks like a phoenix spreading its wings, and the seven diamonds that symbolize the Big Dipper are just right embedded in the wings of the phoenix.

Zhao Fengwu's name has both a phoenix character and a Wu character in it. Yang Mucheng used high-quality wood, symbolizing the plane tree that can attract phoenixes, and then carved a phoenix and embedded with the Big Dipper. Such an arrangement is really ingenious, no wonder Zhao Fengwu used four admiring sentences in a row.

"Brother Wood, you are really well-intentioned, this gift is really in line with my brother's thoughts. Thank you so much. ”

Zhao Fengwu took out the wood carving from the box and put it in his hand to play with it repeatedly, and he was indescribably happy. It can be seen that he really likes the gift from Yang Mucheng.

"I just chose it casually, I didn't expect Brother Zhao to be able to catch my eye, but it made me feel a lot more gratified."

Yang Mucheng spoke modestly.

"It looks like you're a wooden face, but you're actually the best at being a human being and the best at talking. Brother wood, you are a scene person, young and promising, not arrogant or impatient. In the future, your achievements will be immeasurable. ”

Zhao Fengwu pointed at Yang Mucheng with his finger like an elder or a big brother, and was full of praise.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao, for the compliment."

Yang Mucheng replied with a smile.

Lao Kong also opened his own box at this time, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded to Yang Mucheng gratefully.

What Yang Mucheng gave to Lao Kong was also a wood carving, but it was completely different from the one given to Zhao Fengwu. What was given to Lao Kong was a scene of three generations of a family gathering happily, with a high hall and children below. Especially that child, a beautiful and lovely little girl, holding a real gem in her hand to hold the ball, meaning that there is a child and a pearl, and the family is healthy.

"Brother Yang, you have a heart!"

Lao Kong looked at the box repeatedly, and couldn't help but praise one after another.

Zhao Fengwu and Lao Kong looked at the gifts in front of them, they were like children, and they were quite in a bit of a posture that they couldn't put down.

"Brother Wood, you gave your brother such a valuable gift, but my brother can only transfer other people's gifts to you. I have received gifts from you several times, but I have not given you anything, but it seems that your brother and I are childish. ”

Zhao Fengwu waved his hand and said, "Lao Kong, go to my study and bring me the Hansong Aoxue Tu and a special KGB tool to the wood." ”

"Brother Zhao, don't be so polite, right?"

When Yang Mucheng saw that Zhao Fengwu was really moving, he hurriedly stood up and wanted to stop him.

"Sit down, sit down."

Zhao Fengwu carefully covered the box sent by Yang Mucheng, waved his hand to signal him not to stop Lao Kong, and said: "Brother, that picture of Hansong Aoxue is said to have been painted by a Xiucai in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Moreover, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were disputes everywhere, and the scholars at that time painted this painting were even more precious. As for the KGB tools, they were not guns, but small objects that could be used in a clever way, and it was good to play with them. In the rivers and lakes, people must not only be arrogant and arrogant, but also have measures and means to protect themselves. ”

Yang Mucheng listened to Zhao Fengwu's words quietly, nodded and said, "Since Brother Zhao has arranged it, I will be disrespectful." ”

"Come, brother, this is a gift that your friend entrusted me to pass on to you."

Zhao Fengwu stood up and took a long box from the cabinet at the door.

When he took this box, Zhao Fengwu's face was obviously a little more solemn, and he put away the cynicism and smugness just now. Holding the box, it seems that he is holding a heavy treasure entrusted by his brother's life.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao."

Yang Mucheng took the gift with both hands, and his face also looked a little calm. Even, there is a bit of solemnity. However, although he accepted the gift, he did not open it in front of them. Instead, he carefully placed it on a chair next to him.

"My mission is accomplished. Our task today is to pick you up and wash the dust, and you must eat and drink well. ”

When Yang Mucheng accepted the gift, Zhao Fengwu laughed and spoke.

"Okay, I haven't seen you for so long, so naturally you don't want to get drunk and don't go home."

Yang Mucheng happily agreed.

At this time, Lao Kong also took the "Hansong Aoxue Tu" and the KGB set of tools, and while putting the wine and food on the table, Lao Kong opened the gifts one by one and showed them to Yang Sencheng.

As Zhao Fengwu said, although it is not the handwriting of well-known people, it is better than a proud word, the snow is flying white, and a lonely green pine stands between heaven and earth, hanging above, which is not afraid of the times, and the momentum of fearless heaven and earth jumps on the paper.

And the KGB tool was just a belt, which at first glance did not differ from an ordinary belt. However, when Lao Kong demonstrated Yang Mucheng one by one, a thin dagger and a steel wire of more than thirty meters could be pulled out of this belt. Moreover, this wire can be turned into a flying grab when combined with a dagger. With a slight touch on the button of the belt, it can be automatically raised and lowered.

In addition, there are all kinds of small tools such as compasses, which are changed little by little from the narrow belt, which is very magical.

"Brother Zhao, this gift is too valuable, it's a little inappropriate for me to use it, right?"

Although Yang Mucheng also likes this gift very much, looking at the extreme delicacy of every part of the belt, it is expensive to think about it. Even if there is no market, you can't find a place to buy it. Therefore, Yang Mucheng's first consideration was not to be happy, but to worry about whether Zhao Fengwu would feel distressed.

"Your brother and I don't need these gadgets, you are young, and there is still a long way to go in the future, so it's good to play with this. And, if there's an emergency, you might be able to help. ”

Zhao Fengwu was also very happy when he saw that Yang Mucheng liked it.

Yang Mucheng saw that Zhao Fengwu gave it sincerely, so he no longer shirked. Moreover, hearing the meaning of Zhao Fengwu's words just now, there is clearly a hint and reminder, and it will be of some use to take this set of tools.

Next, the three of them sat down together and had a good drink. Zhao Fengwu is in a high position, although he has been deliberately whitewashed, but what flows in his bones is still the same as Zang Zhentian, and he is the heroic blood of the grass python character. Especially when you meet someone with the right temper, you have to get drunk.

The three of them all got their favorite gifts, and they were relaxed, so naturally they drank a lot. When he was half drunk, Yang Mucheng tentatively asked Ye Hongyu and even the situation at home, Zhao Fengwu snorted and casually found a topic to open up.

Old fox!

Yang Mucheng gave Zhao Fengwu an accurate location in his heart, and at the same time secretly congratulated him that he originally planned to test Zhao Fengwu when it was time, but fortunately, Wang Xiaobo's call came in time. If he asks too deliberately, he will definitely make Zhao Fengwu wary of himself.

Ye Chengwen had always been suspicious of Yang Mucheng, but he had never caught Yang Mucheng's evidence, and his relationship with Ye Hongyu was very good, so he never caused a large-scale investigation by the Ye family. If Zhao Fengwu is also wary of himself, if Ye Chengwen, who doesn't know his whereabouts, makes a move, he will be very passive.

After a meal, the three of them each drank more than a bottle of liquor. Zhao Fengwu and Lao Kong are both people who have been in the scene for a long time, and they can naturally win this bit of wine. However, they all got three points drunk. Yang Mucheng is still the same Mu Mu's performance, making it impossible to tell whether he really drank too much or not.

Before leaving the house, Lao Kong grabbed Yang Mucheng, hoping that he would have time to help her daughter do some tutoring work. Because he has been following Zhao Fengwu to fight the world all these years, coupled with the fact that he is not good at communication, his teenage daughter is full of hostility towards him, and the relationship between father and daughter is not good. Therefore, he hopes to let Yang Mucheng talk to her, and help their father and daughter ease up through the way of young people's dialogue with young people.

Yang Mucheng has always had a good impression of Lao Kong, who values love and righteousness, and although he was a little embarrassed when he heard his request, he still agreed.

Back at his residence, Yang Mucheng carefully opened the gift given to him by Ye Hongyu and Zhao Fengwu. It is a painting, a picture of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan Water Town, small bridge flowing water, riverside people, there are women washing by the water, and children playing on the bridge, so unhappy, so comfortable.

On the shore of the stone sat an old fisherman with white hair and white beard, holding a rod and fishing. At this moment, in the middle of the painting, the rod was suddenly closed, and a red carp jumped out of the rugged water.

What's even better is that although this red carp comes out with the hook, it looks like it is about to take off. Will it end up falling with the hook and becoming food in the fisherman's bamboo basket, or will it take a stunning leap and fall back into the lake without danger and return to freedom? It's a suspense and a stunning touch of the whole painting.

Looking at this painting, a smile appeared on the corner of Yang Mucheng's mouth. It's just that there is a hint of sadness in this smile.

Of course, he could see that Ye Hongyu was describing herself through this painting. Her fate is not under her control, whether it will become a delicious meal on the plate, or return to the river and forget about the rivers and lakes, who can control it?

Slowly putting the scroll away, Yang Mucheng couldn't help but sigh. (To be continued.) )
