By the afternoon, all four teams had finished scraping the dirt from the murals in the middle of the west wall, and then they had to clean up the dust left behind when scraping the dirt.

"First clean up the dust of the top mural, and then repair and strengthen the nail part with injection injection, each team is responsible for a mural area, the first team cleans up the dust, and the second team starts again, and so on." Guan Ji took off the dusty mask, coughed lightly and cleared his throat, and notified the task assignment, "After the restoration of the mural, cover it with a cloth first, so as not to get dirty again." ”

Because the cleaning of the floating dust cannot be carried out at the same time, otherwise it will definitely cause the situation that the bottom is cleaned up, but the dust above will be cleaned up again as soon as it falls, so let the above team clean up the floating dust, and when the above group does the repair, the following team will carry out the repair steps, and the top will be covered with a cloth first, and the situation that the floating dust below will float on the top is also avoided.

"Suddenly, I felt that after the west wall was all repaired and protected, it would definitely make us feel very worthwhile." Wang Liang stood on the scaffolding, repairing the armor, couldn't help but sigh, and then raised his voice a little, "Don't say it, I really thought you were too young at first, and the old man also followed you to mess around, but now it seems that I was wrong." ”

Guan Ji, who came back from the outside after dusting his hair, smiled politely, wiped his glasses with an eye cloth, and put them on the workbench casually: "It's still early to praise me, let's fix the mural first, and only after repairing can I know that I don't deserve your praise." ”

Wang Liang smiled and nodded, Guan Ji has always been neither arrogant nor impatient, and he has done this most difficult person without revealing anything.

"Where's Chen Qiong?"

"What are Baba looking for Xiao Chen for?" Wang Liang glanced at Chen Qiong beside him.

"Nothing." Guan Ji ignored his own question in front of him, and seemed to have no concern for the answer, so he raised his feet and left.

Chen Qiong was made laughed at by Wang Liang, who was squeezing her eyebrows, in order to prove to her that Guan Ji had a heart for her, so she kept hiding here, and didn't let her go, to see if Guan Ji would look for her.

But after the old man left Dunhuang, the restorer she wanted to follow completely became Guan Ji, and the relationship between the two of them was originally the relationship that she was missing and Guan Ji was looking for.

The person who was handed over to you is gone, and if you don't look for it, are you going to be criticized?

But Wang Liang said unpredictably: "You female doll don't understand." ”

Chen Qiong walked a few steps on the scaffolding, looked down, Guan Ji in blue overalls was talking to a girl who had just entered the cave to learn repair, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, patiently answering questions, she was almost fooled by Wang Liang's tone of "the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear", and began to think about when Guan Ji turned his back before, in the place where she couldn't see, did she secretly blush for her.

"Uncle Wang said you are looking for me." Chen Qiong got off the scaffolding, walked to Guan Ji's side, glanced at the red-faced girl, and interrupted the two people who were talking in a soft voice, "I just went to the fourth floor of the scaffold to see that it was repaired, is there anything wrong?" ”

Guan Ji's eyebrows arched into a mountain: "It's okay, I have something to do now." ”

Chen Qiong pursed her lips and smiled, as if she had verified that she understood something, and turned to leave after saying "excuse me".

Guan Ji finished talking to the girl about some things on the repair, and after teaching it in person, she followed the scaffolding and wanted to go up to the fourth floor, but just stopped when she reached the third floor, Chen Qiong was still like the day she first entered the cave, with her hands behind her back, and watched seriously as the restorer was sweeping the dust with a soft brush, in order not to disturb people, he also stood a little farther away, but because he couldn't see clearly, he leaned forward again, probing his brain, like a kindergarten child.

"Xiao Zhang, let the people behind you try it yourself."

Chen Qiong and Xiao Zhang looked back at the same time, only to see a figure that continued to walk to the upper four floors, and left the second half of the sentence, "Anyway, she loves to watch and sweep the dust so much."

Xiao Zhang couldn't help laughing, and then took a soft brush to Chen Qiong: "Teacher Chen, don't use a soft brush for the nail part, that place is more difficult to handle, you need to use other tools, just avoid it, wait for me." ”

Chen Qiong nodded, took the soft brush, approached the mural with small steps of excitement, raised her hand and gently swept away the dust on it with the soft tip of the brush, as if she was treating a newborn baby with caution, and finally she swept out a pair of eyes, and then the corners of her mouth also rose, a pair of eyes found in the fog.

Wait until the rest of the place is finished, stand a little farther away to see the whole picture, these eyes are huge, the length is at least as long as her crossing, and it is a slender Danfeng eye, with the charm of good guidance, the owner of the eyes may be the protagonist of this mural, at the moment of looking at the eyes, she suddenly has a heavy head and a light body, and feels that everything around her body is flashing rapidly.

I was in a trance.

It's as if you're walking through a time tunnel through these eyes, where the two scenes overlap, and the millennium is in between.

The restorer is concentrating on sweeping away the dust covered by the pearl, and the painter with the hair is from time to time bowing his head and dipping his pen into the pigment made of the stones, and the two figures finally coincide in a trance.

Chen Qiong looked around, then lowered her head and smiled to herself, laughing that she was not a three-year-old child, how could she still have such an unbridled imagination.

In the next few hours, with the overtime of all the team members, the restoration of the west wall has been almost completed, and the scaffolding on the west wall can be removed by doing a surface protection treatment on the entire mural tomorrow.

Because the last bit of the place had to be repaired, but it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, Guan Ji and a few restorers took the initiative to stay, and let the others go to eat and rest after work first.

Chen Qiong was also rushed back by Guan Ji, in fact, he was not in a hurry, but when Guan Ji said it for the first time, he was a little polite, and before he finished the second time, he immediately nodded with a smile and said "Okay".

When she walked to the gate of the research institute, Tang Yue, who had just gotten off a car, called out to her: "Sister Chen Qiong, you only got off work today." ”

"Yes." Chen Qiong subconsciously replied, and only after turning her head to see who it was before she smiled, "Just came back from the city?" ”

Tang Yue closed the car door: "Go to the city and have a meal with someone." ”

Chen Qiong nodded, and was about to call Tang Yue to go together, when the door on the driver's seat was also opened, and a man came down, his hair was combed back, wearing a casual suit, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and the smell of books was very strong, which made people see at a glance that this was an education industry.

Turning around the front of the car, he handed the things in his hand to Tang Yue: "Xiaoyue, this is what my mother gave you, it is some body supplement, saying that you have been in the northwest for so long, it must be very hard." ”

Tang Yue took it with a smile: "Thank you aunt for me." ”

"Who is this?" The man looked at Chen Qiong.

"Chen Qiong, a dancer who came to Dunhuang to collect style." Tang Yue took the thing, but she didn't look at it, she didn't seem to have any interest in looking at it, and what was inside didn't matter to her at all.

"Is that the dancer you really like?" When the man heard this, he looked at Tang Yue and smiled even deeper, and stretched out his hand towards Chen Qiong, "Hello, Xiaoyue liked to watch you dance when she was in school, but I didn't expect to see you here." ”

Chen Qiong also shook it back: "This is probably a fate that can meet thousands of miles away." ”

The man nodded very approvingly: "When Xiaoyue wanted to come to Dunhuang to work, everyone thought she was messing around, letting a good state-owned enterprise not enter, and coming to the northwest to suffer, but every place we want to go there are always some people waiting to meet us, if we don't go, then we will miss a lifetime, isn't it a pity." ”

"If Xiaoyue doesn't come to Dunhuang this time, he will miss it..."

Tang Yue raised his hand, his index finger lightly swiped under his eyes, and pushed the man to the driver's seat while laughing: "Okay, okay, you go back to the city quickly, it's going to be dark next day, and you're not familiar with this." ”

The man let himself be pushed, turned around and waved goodbye to Chen Qiong, got into the car and drove away.

Chen Qiong also waved her hand politely, and soon went to see Tang Yue, because she saw faint tears in Tang Yue's eyes.

"He should be the person Xiao Mao mistakenly thought was harassing you the day before yesterday." Thinking of Zhang Xiaomao's incident the day before yesterday, she still opened her mouth, "Is it a boyfriend?" ”

Tang Yue stopped suddenly, looked at Chen Qiong in shock, pursed her lips tightly, swallowed her saliva, and continued to raise her feet and walk forward without doing anything, but her body shook slightly.

Chen Qiong didn't ask any further.

When Tang Yue opened his mouth to speak, it was a few minutes later, which caught Chen Qiong a little off guard: "It's not a boyfriend yet, it's a senior who has always liked me, and it may also be the person I am ready to get along with later." ”

"Where's Xiao Mao?"

"Don't you like him?"

Chen Qiong's questions and answers made Tang Yue a little too late to react, but Chen Qiong understood more that Tang Yue's tears in front of her were for Zhang Xiaomao, she was not the one who was waiting to meet Tang Yue here, Zhang Xiaomao was.

"I can't do it with him." Tang Yue said without pain or itching, "I can't accept a long-distance relationship, once I was bitten by a snake, and I was afraid of the well rope for ten years." ”

"Long-distance relationship?" Chen Qiong was stunned for a while, and she remembered that Tang Yue was working here.

Tang Yue nodded timidly, and said the most fragile secret in his heart in the most tenacious way: "In fact, in the first month of coming to Dunhuang, I wanted to leave, the work and life here are completely different from what I imagined, but because of the youthful vigor and excess self-esteem in my bones, I don't want to be looked down upon by friends and family, especially my ex-boyfriend, if he knows, he will definitely laugh at me, so I gritted my teeth and persevered." "

The latter words no longer seem to be able to be written lightly, and every word carries a heavy sense of oppression: "But... Now I really can't hold on anymore, I'm about to be driven crazy by this desert, and I feel like I'll be completely depressed if I stay one more day. ”

She didn't feel any pleasure here, maybe she had, but only briefly.

Some people can give up everything for the sake of great ideals, but she can never be one of those people, she wants a lively city life, not to stay in this monotonous and boring place that is suffocating, in addition, the temperature in summer is close to 40 degrees, and it is more than ten kilometers to walk up and down the cave every day, and there are many tourists in the peak season, and the smell in the cave is even more unpleasant.

The hardships were overwhelming, and she had no intention of admiring the murals in the cave.

In the past, she thought that the Dunhuang murals were the richest paintings in the world, but now she thinks that they are just something that drives her crazy all the time.

Tang Yue imagined the work here too beautiful and easy from the beginning.

The fantasies are too deep here.

Only after personal experience did she know that she couldn't bear this hardship: "So Sister Chen Qiong, I'm ready to leave." ”

Chen Qiong glanced at the statue at the entrance of the research institute and was silent for a long time, in fact, no matter what she was thinking in her heart, all she could say in the end was: "Have you already decided?" ”

"I told Dean Zhao two months ago that I would leave the day after tomorrow."
