Chapter 4 Tea House

"Did that Xiao Xiao call you?" Seeing that he suddenly got down to business, I also restrained my feelings and nodded: "Well, I know everything, someone will pick me up in the afternoon."

He lit another cigarette and sat on the desk: "Do you think that she is looking for us, will it be because the old man regrets it and wants to take the painting back?"

I snorted, thinking, I don't have the strength to think about what that woman is looking for us, the woman's mind, don't guess: "Anyway, I won't let go." If you get a duck in your hand, can you still fly for it? ”

I thought that Gu Fei would have the same idea as me, but I didn't expect him to be silent for a while, and sighed: "Lingyi, it's just a painting, or that's it." If there is something good hidden in it, it may not be something that ordinary people like us can afford......"

"Gu Fei." I know what he means, he just wants me to stop early, I'm not a person who is not afraid of things, if something really happens, I may really have the intention of backing down, but now, I don't want to give up so early, no matter what, that's my choice. But the way he looks makes me uneasy, how can he think that there is something hidden in the painting, "Do you know anything?" ”

He was stunned, just smoked and didn't speak.

I patted him on the shoulder and reassured him: "When you are in Beijing, you should know my decision." ”

"Lingyi ......," he puffed out his cigarette and looked at me solemnly, "If you have to insist on finding that answer, you remember, no matter what happens in the future, I am on your side." ”

The uneasiness in his heart was a little heavier, and the meaning of his words was as if something was really going to happen.

However, in the next second, he regained his usual indecent appearance, and glanced at me with some disgust: "Lingyi, you're not going to dress like this, are you?"

I glanced down at myself, orange sweatshirt and black sweatpants: "What's the matter, I'm embarrassed by wearing you like this?"

I slapped it with my palm, but he dodged it: "Don't blame my brother, I didn't remind you, you are treated as a student, and it's not a matter of a day or two, and you have more than twenty people!" I don't know, I thought I was taking my son out for a walk! ”

"Do you mean that you are old, or do you praise me for being tender?" Damn, deliberately pick something I don't like to hear.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, sure enough, a car came to pick me up, and Gu Fei also got into the car at the same time.

Before leaving, I also locked the doors and windows, although if they really had the intention to steal the painting, it would not do much, but at least I could feel a little comfort.

Gu Fei still looked indifferent, he didn't seem to be worried, he sat next to me, and played his 2048 with all his heart.

"Don't worry, this soldier will cover the water and the earth." He paused, and noticed that the man on the edge of the driver's seat was looking at us through the rearview mirror, but he didn't shy away from it, "That woman is coming to us, and she won't eat us." At least for now, it's polite, and it shows that we still have some use value. ”

It is as if we have been caught up in some great conspiracy, what is not valuable, what is not used.

"How's your uncle?"

"What else?" He changed to a comfortable sitting position, his eyes continued to stare at the phone, "Let me quickly bring the painting and go back to him!" ”

As soon as these words landed, the people in the front seat suddenly became vigilant and glared at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei's mental quality was surprisingly good, and he still concentrated on playing with his mobile phone without looking at the person.

I didn't want to tear my face with them halfway and get into trouble, so I simply texted Gu Fei: Do you know what your uncle wants that painting for?

It took him a long time before he replied: I don't know.

When I asked him again, he simply didn't reply to me.

For me, that's just the clue to my weird dreams for three years. But deep down, I have always been a little uneasy, if this painting really involves any trouble, how will I deal with it? Hopefully I'm just thinking too much.

It's too late to quit.

Such a message popped up on the screen of the mobile phone, it was Gu Fei, I wanted to argue with him for a few words, but after thinking about it, I deleted the content that was not sent, turned off the phone, and didn't look at him.

The place where Xiao Xiao met us was a teahouse, not far away, it was a scenic spot, full of tourists, very lively, in comparison, the teahouse was exceptionally clean.

"Please, both."

As soon as Gu Fei sat down, he said, "You don't have to beat around the bush, just say, what are you looking for us?"

Xiao Xiao looked stunned, turned to a smile, and looked at me: "Let's drink some tea first, let's talk slowly."

A man dressed in retro clothes came in from outside and poured us tea. I also came into contact with this tea ceremony when I was in high school, and the steps and etiquette are a bit cumbersome, but it can calm people's minds, and only a few minutes have passed, and the impulsive and irritable mood has been swept away a little.

"I came here to talk about cooperation." She looked at the change in our expressions, "I already know about my grandfather giving you the painting." ”

"What cooperation?" I took advantage of the gap to look outside the teahouse, surrounded by her people, thinking to myself, if we can't get close to the talks, how to escape.

She didn't care about my little gestures: "It's very simple, if you find a place in the painting, you have to let our people act with you."

Listening to this, it seemed like I was sure I could find it.

"What if we refuse?" As soon as Gu Fei said it, I pushed him and asked him to pay attention when he spoke, there were other people's subordinates everywhere.

Xiao Xiao sneered: "Do you really think that the painting was given to you for nothing?" Let's be honest, that's what my grandfather meant. ”

Sure enough, I knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, let alone a free painting. How could I pick up something that I wouldn't want to sell no amount of money? But......

"Why don't you go to the trouble of going to it yourself?" Since there is such a big snobbery, you can make as many decryption experts as you want, so why pin your hopes on an ordinary otaku like me?

"Do you need to ask? It means that they either can't find it, or they can't get in. Gu Fei sneered and stretched, of course, he deliberately said this to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao's face turned blue for a while, and he said for a long time before he said, "However, depending on you, even if you can get in alive, you may not be able to come out."

I suddenly remembered the scene of being blocked in the cave in my dream, and I couldn't help but frown, yes, if the experience in the dream was true, I really wouldn't have the ability to live.

"We cooperate, you are responsible for finding a place, and we provide equipment and manpower."

I looked at Gu Fei for a while, and now I have to agree even if I don't agree. I didn't agree to it right now, and deliberately provoked her, but I just didn't want to appear too passive.

Now, I can be sure of a few things. First, the place in the painting is really stored zĂ i; Two, I'm not the only one looking for that place; Three, that place, there is more than one bad luck.

After Xiao Xiao left, Gu Fei and I stayed in the teahouse for a long time. My mind is fairly clear, and no matter what other people know, the purpose now is just to find that place. I don't know if Gu Fei has any intention of continuing.

Gu Fei stretched again: "Ouch, it's really tiring to talk to that woman!" Drinking the tea in the cup in one gulp, he obviously felt that it was too little, and frowned, "We have been friends for so many years, if you want to take a risk, take me one too, besides, if you don't paint, I can't go back." ”

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the painting I had hidden, and urged Gu to leave quickly, if you want to come to this place, you will come back later.

Hurried back, Gu Fei laughed at me, like a little miser who was afraid that others would find their own little vault. When I arrived at the door, I found a few black cars parked, and I sighed in my heart, not good!
