on the runway of the airport.

It's Sunday, and there are a lot of people returning home.

On the flight, the flow of people boarding the plane was huhu, and the baggage compartment was packed in the blink of an eye. Dong Xuebin was the last to board the plane, and when he saw this posture, he didn't dare to put the cloth bag on it, so he simply carefully hugged it in his arms, found a seat, sat down in the back row by the window, fastened his seat belt to strangle his waist, and then gently rested the bag of the Bodhisattva statue and landscape painting next to his thigh.

Suddenly, the seat was heavy, and a person sat next to him.

The seats here are relatively narrow, and the cloth bag takes up a little space, so when the man sat down, his knee was cold and knocked Dong Xuebin's leg.

Dong Xuebin felt a pain in his leg and subconsciously took a breath.

"Yo, sorry, sorry." The middle-aged man hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, young man." ”

As soon as he heard that the other party had a Beijing accent, Dong Xuebin smiled, "It's okay, it's trivial, hehe." ”

Mu Zhengzhong turned his leg inward and said with a smile: "Pekingese? International students, right? ”

"Study abroad? I've been working for two years now, and I've been doing something. Dong Xuebin looked at him and blinked his eyes, "You came here for a tour?" You look familiar. ”

Mu Zhengzhong said: "It's not a tour, I came to buy an antique, but I didn't buy it." ”

"Antiques? Hehe, I like it too. ”

This makes Dong Xuebin very familiar with the appearance of a middle-aged man in his forties and less than fifty, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, feeling very polite, quite modest, is the character of the old Beijingers, they are all fellow countrymen, and sit together, Dong Xuebin is idle and idle, so he chatted with him about antiques, but as soon as he talked about Dong Xuebin, he admired, Mu Zhengzhong's knowledge of cultural relics is very profound, and it is not Dong Xuebin's half-son at all, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, generation after generation of cultural relics knowledge is at hand.

The more Dong Xuebin listened, the more curious he became, and suddenly remembered a name, and he couldn't help but pat his thigh, "Hey, look at my brain, you are Mu Zhengzhong, right?" ”

Mu Zhengzhong smiled, "We know each other?" ”

"I know you, you definitely don't know me, I've admired my name for a long time."

"It's not that evil." Mu Zhengzhong smiled and shook his head, "My reputation is all blown out by the media, don't let the TV deceive, hehe." ”

"You're so modest."

Mu Zhengzhong's name is well-known in the collection world, Dong Xuebin worked in an antique shop when he went to university, of course he knows him, in the capital, the first private museum is Mu Zhengzhong's handiwork, the family wealth is far from describing his personal property, if all the collections of his museum are sold through the auction process, I believe its value is absolutely astronomical. However, it seems that people do not open museums to make money, but to provide a cultural environment, I heard that Mu Zhengzhong is also committed to charity, Dong Xuebin is very respectful of this kind of person.

That's a coincidence.

Dong Xuebin said happily: "This is an old acquaintance in a foreign country, Mr. Mu, you have to tell me about the collection of antiques, it is not easy to meet you, I have to ask for advice." ”

Mu Zhengzhong waved his hand, "I also often make eyes." ”

"And modest, you look down on me."

"Hehe, no, don't ask for advice, let's discuss with each other."

"Okay, then I asked? What are your thoughts on antiques? What's it worth? ”

Dong Xuebin already has a preliminary idea in his heart, he originally planned to donate the "Snow Boat Splashing Ink Landscape Map" to the Palace Museum, now think about it is really inappropriate, nothing else, the second-level cultural relics are better to say, but the national treasure-level cultural relics are too involved, it will inevitably cause some diplomatic disputes, now it seems that private museums seem to be a good choice, at least with the national level will not have much to do with it, but Dong Xuebin does not know Mu Zhengzhong very well, so he also maintains a cautious attitude, plus this thought, Dong Xuebin didn't report his name at all, didn't take off his eyes, and only pretended to be an ordinary young man.

Mu Zhengzhong is very easy-going, very low-key, he takes economy class on the plane, no one can see that he is a rich man, he has a good impression of Dong Xuebin and Mu Zhengzhong, they are all Beijingers, and this young man's temperament is also good, so when he saw Dong Xuebin asking, Mu Zhengzhong did not hide his secrets, and briefly talked about everything he knew about antiques.

One hour ......

Two-hour ......

The two chatted very speculatively, talking and laughing.

Dong Xuebin feels that he is still relatively accurate in seeing people, and Mu Zhengzhong has left a very good impression on him, not as hypocritical as officialdom, very sincere, very generous, and a worthy person.

In the end, Dong Xuebin led the topic to "Snow Boat Splashing Ink Landscape Map".

Mu Zhengzhong smiled and said: "You can ask me about this painting, hehe, to be honest, I have only seen the National Museum twice in "Snow Boat Splashing Ink Landscape", well, as for the evaluation, I am not very easy to say, after all, there are some cultural differences with our country, but let me say this, our country can't even call Mr. Qi Baishi's paintings a national treasure, not even a first-class cultural relic, and a second-class cultural relic, but "Snow Boat Splashing Ink Landscape Map" can be regarded as a national treasure, and even among the national treasures, I don't need to say anything about its historical and economic value. ”

Dong Xuebin blinked and said, "Painting so well? ”

"That's for sure, what's wrong boy? So interested in antiques? ”

"Ahem, that's not it, I'm just curious that they can draw better than Mr. Qi's?"

"I can't say that, the national conditions are different, the most important thing is its historical value, Mr. Qi Baishi's painting is a good painting, but it is more inclined to the economy and ornamentation, and the "Snow Boat Splashing Ink Landscape" ...... There is no comparison. At the end, Mu Zhengzhong also added, "But "Snow Boat Splashing Ink Landscape" is indeed a good painting, although I have only seen it twice, but I am very impressed, art has no borders." ”

Dong Xuebin nodded and didn't say anything more.

Chatting and chatting, Mu Zhengzhong suddenly said, "Young man, I don't know what your name is?" ”

Dong Xuebin smiled, "My name is too vulgar, so I won't let you laugh, I'm embarrassed to say it." ”

Stunned, Mu Zhengzhong smiled and didn't ask again.

At about 6:40 in the evening, the plane landed on the runway of Beijing Capital Airport in a jolt, Dong Xuebin got off the plane, used the customs again, and walked out of the hall with the bag. Far away, Mu Zhengzhong was lighting a cigarette at the entrance of the terminal, as if waiting for someone, only a few seconds later, an Audi 8 stopped in front of him, there was only one driver in the car, Mu Zhengzhong smiled and nodded with the driver, snuffed out the cigarette butt and got into the car.

Dong Xuebin has been following him, and seeing this, he paced up and pulled the back door and got into the car directly.

The driver's face changed, and he looked back at him with a frown, and said in his heart.

Dong Xuebin said with a shy face: "Teacher Mu, I am familiar with this person, hehe, can I take your car?" ”

"Hehe, of course it's fine." Mu Zhengzhong also glanced at him suspiciously, didn't ask much, and said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, in this way, I'll send you back first?" ”

Dong Xuebin secretly said that this Teacher Mu is really interesting, nodded and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you." ”

The car drove up, got on and went around the terminal, ready to get on the airport expressway.

Suddenly, on a side road outside the airport, Dong Xuebin stopped the driver, "Stop the car, driver, master, can you please avoid it?" I have something to talk about with Mr. Mu. ”

The driver grimaced.

Mu Zhengzhong was also stunned, "What's the matter?" ”

Dong Xuebin looked around, "It's very important, I can only talk to you alone." ”

Mu Zhengzhong thought about it, and his eyes were very puzzled, but he had a lot of experience, and he had seen everyone, and finally waved his hand to the driver, "Lao Zhou, you get out of the car and smoke a cigarette first." ”

The driver was vigilant: "This person ......"

"It's okay, let's go down."

Helplessly, the driver had to open the door and get out of the car and walk not far away.

Mu Zhengzhong smiled bitterly: "Young man, what is mysterious and secret?" Can you say that? ”

Seeing that there were no intersection cameras around, Dong Xuebin snorted, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mu, the situation is quite special, but I am too abrupt, please understand." ”

"Out of the way, right?"

Dong Xuebin, who was sitting in the back seat, moved his body, vacated some open space, grabbed the cloth bag he had been holding in his hand, slowly untied the dead button, took out a pair of scrolls, untied the rubber band, and handed it to the other party.

Mu Zhengzhong looked down suspiciously, took it and slowly opened it with his hand.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, Rao is Mu Zhengzhong is well-informed, and he was also taken aback at this time, ""Snow Boat Splashing Ink Landscape Map"!? ”

Dong Xuebin was speechless.

Mu Zhengzhong was a little stunned, and he didn't care about talking to him, so he immediately spread out all the scrolls, looked up and down carefully, and finally took a magnifying glass to look at it for a while, and finally came to a conclusion that made him stunned, "It's genuine!" It's the real one from the National Museum!? Gasping, Mu Zhengzhong finally knew why the other party was so mysterious, why he didn't even tell him his name, and said dumbfounded: "Young man, I just heard that the National Museum was stolen in broad daylight before I got on the plane, this is ......"

Dong Xuebin smiled, "Then I don't know, how do you look at this thing?" ”

Mu Zhengzhong couldn't laugh or cry, "The national treasure, of course it's not ordinary, young man, you showed me a hot thing, what does this mean?" ”

Dong Xuebin said: "I don't know what to do, so I want to ask you for advice." ”

Mu Zhengzhong quickly calmed down, took a breath, and looked at the painting again and again for a while, the national treasures of the Republic were all overseas in the past, Mu Zhengzhong never thought that he could one day get the national treasures of other countries in his hands, his emotions seemed a little excited, and there were countless questions in his heart that came up wave after wave, the theft of the National Museum was done by this young man? But how did he escape? How to get on the plane? Got over the customs and brought things back to your homeland? What the is this!? ro！ ~！
