Chapter 16: Liars
Because Liu Sheng didn't drink at Wang Chong's house because he wanted to drive, several people chatted all over the world, and it seemed that he had returned to the high school days of 'just classmates', and instantly erased the estrangement that he hadn't seen for several years.
"Brother Sheng, slow down." The three of them waved their hands with a lot of reluctance.
"Okay, you don't have mothers-in-law, it's not like I won't come back for the New Year, let's get together again then." Liu Sheng held the "Lushan Immortal Pavilion Map" with both hands and scolded with a smile.
Su Le is a cheerful person, ten minutes after putting down the phone, Wang Chong's mobile phone came to the bank to transfer short interest, Liu Sheng could only accept his fate to return to the capital with Su Le's baby, and when it was time to eat, Wang Chong's mother deliberately added a few more good dishes, and the enthusiasm made several people a little embarrassed.
"Well, you'll have to come back for a treat." Li Wei stared at Liu Sheng without blinking, as if he would not give up if he did not agree.
"Okay, I'll treat you." Liu Sheng couldn't cry or laugh a little, but Li Wei still had such a childish temper.
"Alright, let's go." Li Wei put on a very generous look before Liu Sheng started the engine and slowly disappeared from the sight of the three of them.
·····
"Why did you just come back and leave again?" In the evening, Liu Sheng began to pack his luggage, and his mother asked in surprise, after all, he hadn't been home for two or three years, and he was a little reluctant.
"The mentor is in a hurry to find me." Liu Sheng lied a little.
Liu Sheng didn't want his mother to worry, a few copper coins were sold for 500,000 yuan a few years ago, and his mother was excited that she didn't sleep well for a few days and nights, and almost had a nervous breakdown, and she still fell asleep after drinking sleeping pills.
"Well, then you can leave if you have something, learn from the tutor well, don't worry at home, there is me and your father." Mother turned her face away and secretly wiped away the tears that she had left unconsciously.
"Old woman, what are you doing, it's not that my son won't come back, won't he come back during the New Year." The father scolded impatiently, and turned his head back to focus on his news broadcast.
My father is like this, in my memory there are not many words, always silently as the pillar of the family, sheltering us from the wind and rain, without complaints, I remember when I was a teenager, I had a serious stomach problem, because there was no bus to go there, my father was stunned to ride a bicycle to carry me for dozens of kilometers.
"You can, you can, don't secretly wipe your tears during the New Year." The mother retorted vigorously, as if she could dilute the reluctance in her heart.
"Mom, Dad, don't make any noise, I'll definitely come back during the New Year." The words left in his mouth Liu Sheng still swallowed, it is not safe to put millions of things at home.
"That's okay, you pay attention to yourself outside, it's getting colder and colder in the future, wear more clothes, tell your family if you have anything, don't hold it in your heart, your second aunt is also in the capital, walk around more in the future, your second aunt can say it during the New Year, you don't go to her house much." As soon as she let go of the reluctance in her heart, her mother began to nag again.
"Okay, my son is not a big one, and he doesn't know how to watch TV." My father is like that, he doesn't mention it, but he still feels very uncomfortable in his heart, and he is domineering and doesn't want his mother to nag.
"No matter how big he is, he's my son." The mother muttered a reply, and honestly watched the news with the father.
······
"Hey, little brother, little brother, are you also in the capital?" Liu Sheng closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and suddenly felt someone shake his arm.
"What for?" Liu Sheng asked vigilantly, there were paintings worth more than four million in his bag, and he couldn't afford not to be nervous, his eyes staring at the lean middle-aged man who shook his arm.
"Hehe, it's the first time the little brother has gone out, it's good to be a little vigilant." The lean middle-aged man looked at Liu Sheng's appearance as if he had long been accustomed to it, and he didn't care. "You're also going to the capital."
"Hmm." Liu Sheng responded a little vaguely, unwilling to say a word to him.
"Little brother, don't be so nervous, relax, not everyone is such a good temper as mine, I have to be in a hurry with you, this car can't get to the capital in four or five hours, let's sit together and have a fate, how about chatting, my surname is Wu, what about you, little brother?" The lean middle-aged man became more and more enthusiastic, and directly ignored Liu Sheng's indifference.
"My surname is Zhang." Liu Sheng made one up at random.
"Hehe, it turned out to be Brother Zhang, let's go to school in the capital." This man surnamed Wu is familiar with the whole thing, and he said with a stick.
"Well, there were some things at home before, now go and sign up." Liu Sheng pretended to let go of his restraints a little, and raised his head slightly, so that he could see the appearance of the person next to him clearly.
Exposed to the open air for a long time, tanned face, a pair of small yellow eyes under heavy eyebrows, his eyes are a little wandering when he speaks, garlic nose, thin lips, two mustaches, wearing a work clothes that I don't know which factory Lu Dao is, he has long been washed and can't make out his face, but he has a pair of slender and white hands, which makes Liu Sheng secretly suspicious, this kind of person is either a professional liar or a habitual thief. However, on the bus, in such a mixed place of dragons and snakes, you can only see tricks.
"Hello students, unlike me, who have no education, they earn hard-earned money, and let the contractor be pitted, and in the end they can't get anything, so they can't go back to their homes." Liu Sheng, who was observing the middle-aged man surnamed Wu with his eyes, suddenly noticed that a trace of cunning envy flashed in this guy's eyes.
"Yes, I don't think that the questions I did in the third year of high school alone are taller than me." Liu Sheng said with some self-deprecation, and he didn't feel that he would be brought to the dark time of his senior year of high school.
"Hehe, Brother Zhang, don't be dissatisfied, if you do a few days of small work, you will know that this taste is not good." The middle-aged man surnamed Wu retorted.
"Maybe." Liu Sheng looked at the passing scenery outside and said noncommittally.
"Brother Zhang, which university are you going to sign up for?" The middle-aged man surnamed Wu said curtly, the conversation was a little awkward, and it was not a successful start.
"Kyoto."
"Beijing University, a good university, one of the best in China." The middle-aged man surnamed Wu couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's okay, Uncle Wu, what are you doing in the capital." Liu Sheng said lightly.
"Hey, don't mention it." The middle-aged man surnamed Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this student baby finally took the bait, and said with a somewhat sad face.
"What's wrong?" Liu Sheng also pretended to be interested, and the two foxes, one big and one small, really clashed.
"I was cheated by the contractor, so I had to take some gadgets to the capital Panjiayuan to exchange some money." The middle-aged man surnamed Wu pointed to the broken snakeskin bag under his feet.
According to the middle-aged man surnamed Wu himself, the construction site where they were accidentally dug out a huge ancient tomb, which contained many antiques, and their contractor rolled up a few valuable things in it overnight and fled, leaving only them, the bitter workers, who had no choice but to pick a few pieces and sell them to see if they could make up for the loss.
"Uncle, don't be sad, catch him and shoot him a hundred times sooner or later." Liu Sheng said with pretending to be indignant.
"It's okay, fortunately, it's autumn, and you can still do some work, otherwise you won't even be able to eat a bowl of dumplings at home for the New Year." The middle-aged man surnamed Wu comforted softly, feeling more confident in his heart.
"Uncle, can you let me see, I'm a student of history, and I'm interested in antiques and other things." Liu Sheng glanced at the snake bag at the feet of the middle-aged man surnamed Wu from time to time, and after 30 seconds, he seemed to be a little unable to withstand the temptation, and asked cautiously.
"Okay, look at it, which one you like, it's given to you by your uncle." The middle-aged man surnamed Wu hesitated a little and said pretending to be bold.
"I'm not welcome, uncle." After Liu Sheng finished speaking, he opened the snakeskin bag from the feet of the middle-aged man surnamed Wu, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed that they were all miscellaneous small objects, what jade cicadas, small bronze mirrors, copper coins, but they are all some inferior imitations, fake things at a glance, of course, there are some good things in the big waves, Liu Sheng saw a fifty treasures, and there are three or four scrolls of calligraphy and painting in it, which look a little old and can't distinguish the real from the fake.
Liu Sheng was too lazy to bother, and directly unfolded his discerning eye identification, and a dark orange treasure light rose from a small handscroll, almost dazzling his eyes, it was actually something from the Tang Dynasty, Liu Sheng couldn't help but be a little surprised.
There are seven colors of Baoguang, and Liu Sheng came to the conclusion that each color of Baoguang has ten halos, red represents 60 years, orange represents 120 years, yellow represents 180 years, and so on.
"This..." Driven by curiosity, Liu Sheng slowly opened the handscroll a little, just a few simple handwriting, it made him feel an unbridled torrent as if galloping from the sky, as if thousands of fierce horses were galloping on the grassland, and a strong tremor hit his heart, and the feeling of suffocation arose spontaneously.
ps: It seems that I broke my promise again, I owe more two, I will try my best to change the idea out, in this cheeky request for reward, recommendation, collection, give Xiaohua some motivation.
