"Qu Xiaotang, get up." Early in the morning, Shen Xin sat on the edge of Qu Xiaotang's bed and asked her to get up.

Qu Xiaotang rubbed his eyes and sat up sleepily: "Why did you enter my room?" ”

"No, you didn't have a lock at all, so I naturally walked in directly. Besides, we're going to do the task later, and I really don't want to talk when you sleep so soundly. Shen Xin was helpless.

"Okay, okay, thank you for waking me up. Wait for me, I'll go out after I'm done. Qu Xiaotang turned over and got out of bed.

After a simple wash, Qu Xiaotang followed Shen Xin downstairs.

Qu Xiaoyan and Luo Hao were already waiting in the living room downstairs.

"Let's go." Qu Xiaotang scratched his head embarrassedly.

After they went out, Luo Hao drove them all the way to Xicheng.

The scenery of Xicheng is more inclined to the rural scenery, and when the car drives in, it encounters potholes and mud floors. Several people sat in the car, suddenly feeling a bump.

"Luo Hao, why don't you just find a place to park the car, let's walk over." Shen Xin suggested.

Qu Xiaotang also nodded approvingly: "Yes, Officer Luo, you can park the car here." Let's walk in slowly, and we can find something. ”

"Okay." Luo Hao turned the steering wheel and drove the car into an open field.

After getting out of the car, all four of them felt unusually stuffy.

Qu Xiaotang stretched out his hand and fanned it: "It's really too hot this day, and it is estimated that this West City is much hotter than the center of Yuncheng." ”

"yes, how can it be so hot?" Shen Xin agreed.

"Let's go inside first and see what's going on, shall we?" Qu Xiaoyan said.

A few people walked all the way, but they didn't find any passers-by, but there were quite a lot of restaurants on the street.

Qu Xiaotang found the restaurant where he had dinner with Xie Jingshuo last time, and couldn't help but say: "That restaurant is the place where I met Lu Yang last time when I came to eat with Xie Jingshuo. ”

"Why don't we go and see it again?" Shen Xin proposed.

"Let's go?" Luo Hao took the lead and walked in.

The waiter ushered them to the window, and after watching them sit down, he took out the menu in his hand and put it on the table.

"By the way, I want to ask you. Do you know any famous painters in this area? Or, in your West Side, are there any people who are engaged in art? Qu Xiaotang asked, holding his chin.

"Painters? I do know one of these. The waiter said thoughtfully.

Qu Xiaoyan hurriedly answered: "Then where is he?" ”

He ...... I don't see much of it, and I usually go to a small shop by the river or the road to sketch. The waiter said.

"Okay, then I can ask, what is the painter's last name?" Qu Xiaotang asked.

"I don't know about this, you can go to the nearby river to have a look, if you're lucky, you may be able to meet him." After the waiter finished speaking, he left the menu on the table.

Qu Xiaoyan fell into deep thought again.

"It's not that it's not unrewarding, at least we know that painters often go to the river. When we're done eating, let's try our luck by the river. Shen Xin proposed.

"Yes, yes, let's eat first, and we'll talk about it when we find someone." Qu Xiaotang pushed Qu Xiaoyan.

Qu Xiaoyan reacted at this time: "Yes, let's eat first and then talk about this." ”

After ordering, it didn't take long for the waiter to bring the food. When he delivered all the dishes, he suddenly lowered his head and explained in a low voice: "You can leave quickly after eating, don't go to the toilet on the second floor, there are people upstairs who are not easy to mess with." ”

"Someone you can't mess with?" Qu Xiaotang's eyes widened.

After the waiter finished speaking, he pretended to be okay and left.

The four looked at each other.

"What's the situation? Could it be that I met ......" Qu Xiaotang's words did not speak, but everyone who understands naturally understands.

"No, if there is, why doesn't the restaurant look scared at all, but is used to it?" Shen Xin said.

Luo Hao shook his head: "It's hard to make a conclusion now. How's it going, does anyone want to go up with me? ”

"Shall I go?" Qu Xiaotang immediately raised his hand.

"You're really curious to kill the cat." Shen Xin picked up the wine glass and sneered.

Qu Xiaotang stuck out his tongue at her, and left with Luo Hao.

The two of them bent their waists and slowly moved up from the secret edge of the flowers.

When he moved to the second floor, Luo Hao immediately pulled Qu Xiaotang to hide aside.

Qu Xiaotang didn't dare to say anything, and hid behind Luo Hao with bated breath. There was a large box in front of me, and the door was not closed, and the wind blew lightly, and the door creaked.

Through the crack in the door, Qu Xiaotang saw a lot of people with tattoos. There are also some totems tattooed on their arms, similar to Lu Yang's.

She watched it for a long time, and she already understood what kind of people were here.

Just when she wanted to suggest to Luo Hao to leave, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

The man she had been thinking about for a long time, smiling evilly at the moment, circled between the group of people.

Qu Xiaotang watched it for a long time, and tears suddenly flowed down.
