Chapter 22: The Lost and Found Picture (2)

The one who came to my residence to deliver the painting should be the young proprietress that Mr. Yan took a fancy to, and the one who stole the painting was the woman in the white trench coat who was as bright as a peach and plum and as cold as frost.

Is it a good thing that the altered painting of the Ming Water sleeve is lost? I thought about it again, since the other party gave up the painting, did it prove that it was worthless?

"Long Fei, who sent the painting? When I observed the other party, it was not an ordinary person, and it was definitely a stranger who had just appeared in the Dunhuang area. Meng Qiao asked again.

She was very alert, even though she lived in Dunhuang, which was as calm as water and indifferent and tranquil, she did not let go of her eagle-like observation, and repeatedly surveyed and screened anyone who tried to approach us, so as to ensure that all enemies could take advantage of it.

"Today in Cave 112, a young lady surnamed Ming from Hong Kong Island made some corrections to my paintings, and she had some minor mental problems, so she recklessly started to write. Something very interesting happened around her, and I'll go back and tell you about it. As for the people who sent the paintings, it was another group of people who stole the paintings and sent them directly to the place where we lived, which was tantamount to a kind of demonstration. However, it is not a big deal, at least for the time being, we are not going to face these people head-on. Moreover, I can be sure that these people have nothing to do with our old life on Hong Kong Island, and they will not be gang revenge, don't worry. I replied indifferently.

"That's good, I have a strange premonition that the weather in Dunhuang is going to change." Meng Qiao said awe-inspiringly.

Meng Qiao has a natural sensitivity to crises.

According to the director of the orphanage, Meng Qiao's biological parents are likely to be aboriginal hunters of the Gaoshan tribe in the Tainan area, and she inherited her parents' sixth sense and insecurity, and her spirit is always in a state of tension.

This is also a good thing, there have been many times when we have a close encounter with the enemy, and she feels the killing opportunity ten seconds in advance, and then reminds everyone to be ready within five or six seconds, and then strikes three seconds in advance and starts sniping separately.

With this three-second lead, the master is enough to solve everything cleanly.

The military advisors in many gangs on Hong Kong Island asserted that "Long Fei and Meng Qiao are inseparable from Meng and Meng Qiao, and together they have few opponents." ”

They used the combination of the legendary rangers Meng Liang and Jiao Zan of the Northern Song Dynasty to describe the relationship between me and Meng Qiao, obviously ignoring our gender, but treating our comrades-in-arms as comrades-in-arms.

"How do you think so? Any clues? I asked.

Although the tank gang was mobilized, I always felt that under the pressure of the government, no gang dared to force its way out, and could only act in the shadows, and could not stir up much trouble.

"Come back, you know, a lot of times, the bad things that I feel come true, but I can't tell why. This painting gave me a very bad feeling, as if an unyielding soul was imprisoned in it. Didn't you also say that the rebound pipa picture is not only the ancient murals of Mogao Grottoes, but also contains many unspeakable secrets. I think you should communicate more with this young lady surnamed Ming - is she beautiful? I felt from the strokes of her brushstrokes that she was a noble, clean, classical, and elegant beauty, which was rare in the world. I'd like to meet her if I have the chance. Meng Qiao was insincere.

I directly singled out: "Don't bother, from the conversation with her companion, I learned that she is likely to be the target of Lei Dongtian's pursuit." In today's Chinese world, how many people can compete with Lei Dongtian for women? ”

Meng Qiao twisted around the bush to trick me, just to know what was going on in my heart.

Everyone loves beautiful women, but I don't have this kind of mind, because compared to the secrets of the Mogao Grottoes, anything else that interests me can be put down.

Meng Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes, Brother Lei is out, and few girls can be indifferent." In this way, I want to meet this Miss Ming even more, and check for Brother Lei in advance. ”

We laughed at the same time, with the strength of Lei Dongtian, any girl who enters his attention is a great luck in life.

"Brother Lei is a good person, and a good person should always get a good marriage, right?" Meng Qiao suddenly sighed.

In the past, on Hong Kong Island, Lei Dongtian took great care of me and Meng Qiao, and Meng Qiao also regarded Lei Dongtian as his idol in life, and often compared him to Mr. Li Ka-shing, the richest man in China.

On the phone, I had already left the small square in front of the hotel and walked north back to our little antique shop.

In a few moments, I found myself with six more tails, including a young man and a woman in a relationship, a driver smoking a cigarette in a taxi, a college girl hanging out in a crossbody canvas bag, and two girls drinking coffee at a roadside bar.

"There are some minor problems, I may have been followed." I told Moncho.

Meng Qiao was stunned: "Oh? What's going on? ”

We live a life of no quarrel with the world and a good life in Dunhuang, and we usually don't pay attention to this kind of problem at all. If it weren't for the Tank Gang, I wouldn't have paid attention to the stalkers behind me.

"A lot of things have happened in the Mogao Grottoes and Dunhuang City today, and I think it's time to think quietly." I replied lightly.

We withdrew from the rivers and lakes, but the Chinese rivers and lakes have never stopped rolling, fighting, attacking, retreating all kinds of actions, you sing and I appear, people from all walks of life, all the bigwigs take turns to sit in the village, staging all kinds of good dramas of blood and fire, glory and destruction, providing various adaptation materials for the film and television circles and literary circles.

The earth will rotate without anyone, the rivers and lakes will develop without anyone, and history will move forward without anyone. In this vast universe and vast earth, everyone is an ant and a praying mantis, which can neither help the planet nor stop the chariot of history from moving forward.

Therefore, I appreciate what Meng Qiao has done, even if he quits the rivers and lakes, he is also paying attention to the development of gangs on Hong Kong Island and taking precautions.

"Come back first, the soldiers are united, and they are not afraid of any changes. Moreover, I have been idle for too long, and I have a chance to move my hands and feet. Meng Qiao chuckled calmly.

I didn't look back, not even a momentary pause, but went straight to the antique shop.

The stalker was so arrogant that the closest one he followed was only five steps away from me, so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

At night in Dunhuang, bustling and dark, some alleys are brightly lit, which is where pubs, cafes, and book bars gather, and people from all walks of life are constantly flocking here; Some of the alleys are pitch black, occasionally flashing the vigilant and hungry eyes of stray dogs, and these places are a good place for stalkers to attack, as long as the target is dragged into the dark alley, any attack will be strictly covered by the night.

With my hands in my trouser pockets, I slowly flexed my fingers and warmed up before the fight.

Over the past decade, the government's gun ban has been so effective that there is no mechanism on the market that can fire* bullets. Weapons like those carried by the tank gang are smuggled in the form of parts from the northwest and southwest borders, and then assembled in underground factories in China, and their performance cannot be guaranteed, and the possibility of self-injury is extremely high.

Based on this, I don't worry about the stalker carrying a one-hit killing weapon, if everyone just uses cold weapons to attack, then Meng Qiao and I can fight with one hundred enemies, and there is no need to worry at all.

"Okay." I hung up the phone and concentrated on walking, so as not to worry Meng Qiao.

There was a sudden uproar in the alley on the right, and several big men were chasing a disheveled man.

I only glanced at it, and I was surprised to find that the man was none other than Lu Zhongguo. The look of joy on his face when he left gave me a bad premonition. In that case, he is likely to invite disaster due to excessive pride, resulting in a tragedy of joy and sorrow.

"Dare to flirt with the boss? Under-beaten, under-beaten! The big men roared under their breath.

Lu Zhongguo staggered and ran, suddenly fell forward, and was chased by the big men, punched and kicked, and hit a heavy hand.

"Misunderstanding...... Ladies and gentlemen, it's all a misunderstanding, I'm a tour guide, I'm a tour guide for a travel agency, and I want to pull business for the boss...... Spare my life, big brothers, I have money in my pocket, take it, take it and drink it, I treat ......" Lu Zhongguo wailed, his voice was constantly interrupted, it seems that these big men all have the strength to arms.

I stopped, hesitated for a second, and then strode into the alley.

At the end of the alley, a red gauze lantern with a diameter of more than one meter hangs low, and two large gold leaf characters are pasted on it - "Flower Marriage".

The flower wedding nightclub is very famous in Dunhuang, with good wine, beautiful people, fair prices, orderly, safe and secure customers, and a good relationship with the police...... In short, all nightclubs should have, and all nightclubs may cause trouble, and there is no flower wedding here.

In Dunhuang, there are at least 400 large and small nightclubs, bars, teahouses, and cafes, and Huayu is the eternal leader in this industry, which has been imitated by peers, but has never been surpassed.

According to rumors, the boss of the flower marriage is from the capital, with a thorough connection, on the opening day, Gansu, Qinghai, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Xinjiang and other places came to a lot of red bigwigs, congratulations on the opening of the flower basket placed ten streets, at least more than a thousand.

Because of this, it was very reasonable for Lu Zhongguo to appear here tonight, because he felt that he was about to earn a few hundred dollars, and his psychology was greatly inflated, and if he didn't spend a night in a good place, he couldn't calm his boiling heart.

"Big brothers, stop it, beat my friend to death, the police are coming, everyone is in trouble." As I spoke, I dodged over and deftly nudged the elbows of the two nearest big men, causing them to lose the right shot without noticing.

"He's your friend?" Several big men were tired, they stopped, and several pairs of bull's eyes glared at me together.

Before I could answer, I pulled out my wallet and stuffed two large red bills into each person's hand.

"Yes, it's my friend, I'm used to joking, and I can't control my mouth all the time. For this matter, I had to be beaten more than a dozen times a month, and I never remembered. Several bosses, dissipate their anger, this fight is enough to make him honest for a week. I'll take him back and continue to fight, saving you the boss's business. Raise your hand a few times, spare this kid, right? I said.

The big men received the money, and they were really tired, so they got off the donkey, and the matter was settled.

One of them pointed to Lu Zhongguo, who was crouching on the ground, and said cruelly: "Tell your friend, in the future, it is best to wear a mask, so as not to provoke the boss again and become a cripple with broken hands and feet." Okay, look at your face, forget it! ”

Several big men returned to the gate behind the lantern, and the gate came and went, all of them were rich people in suits and leather shoes, and there were very few commoners like Lu Zhongguo.
