On the day of entering the cave for restoration, Chen Qiong couldn't sleep at five o'clock in the morning because she always couldn't sleep well at night as she had done in the past ten days, and habitually practiced morning yoga, then washed up and went to the canteen to eat a few bites of breakfast in the northwest, and then walked to Mogao Grottoes with He Baihe.

On the way, she also met Guan Ji and Zhang Xiaomao, Chen Qiong saw that He Baihe seemed to have something to say to Guan Ji, so she subconsciously walked slowly, letting Guan Ji stand in her original position, and she retreated to walk side by side with Zhang Xiaomao.

"Teacher Chen, are you sleeping badly?" Zhang Xiaomao, who couldn't calm down, turned his head to look at Chen Qiong, who looked a little sickly, and used an affirmative sentence, "Why doesn't it look bloody." ”

Chen Qiong stretched out her hand and touched her face, she has been having diarrhea and sleeping badly for more than ten days, she vomits every once in a while, those gastrointestinal medicines have no great effect, the hot and dry weather in the northwest makes her unable to adapt, her skin has been in a state of lack of water, if her face is still very good, then she should really thank the Bodhisattva here, and by the way, ask the Bodhisattva to bless the safety and health of her family.

It's just that these words don't mean much, she put down her hand, bent the corners of her mouth, and cheered up and replied: "I'm fine, but I had a nightmare last night and was so scared that I couldn't sleep." ”

"Then eat some candy." Zhang Xiaomao's palm was spread out, and he didn't know where to conjure up a small green candy, "It just so happened that I took one more today." ”

"Thank you." Chen Qiong stretched out her hand to pick it up, and as soon as the words of thanks were spoken, Zhang Xiaomao beside her suddenly ran back, and shouted a person's name excitedly, running towards a woman.

Guan Ji and He Baihe, who were walking in front of him and talking, were also attracted to Zhang Xiaomao's voice and stopped, turned to look at Zhang Xiaomao who was running wildly, He Baihe shook his head and laughed heartily, and Guan Ji showed a smile with the words "this stinky boy".

Chen Qiong frowned.

"That's a narrator named Tang Yue who just came last year, this kid fell in love with other girls, I don't know where to see something, I learned this trick and sent a candy to others every day." Guan Ji opened his mouth to explain, and there was no smile in his words, he was a little tired of this kind of idol drama-style romantic chasing.

Maybe it's because he's older, and the man who stands up is more than the nineteen-year-old boy who is still in his best.

Chen Qiong looked down at the sugar in her palm, the green sugar paper, unscrewed both sides and opened it, the sugar inside was also green, some people couldn't laugh or cry, she stuffed the sugar into her mouth: "Can you succeed in sending sugar of this color?" ”

Guan Ji looked at Zhang Xiaomao's side, and surrounded Tang Yue with enthusiasm, but this enthusiasm remained unchanged everywhere.

"Let's go, we don't care about that kid." He Baihe continued to walk towards the cave area, "If he is late, he will have a good meal at Lao Li's." ”

The old man spoke, Guan Ji and Chen Qiong no longer watched the excitement and joked, and followed one left and one right, but Chen Qiong saw that they were talking about some professional issues about mural restoration technology, and he couldn't understand it, and there was a feeling that one head was two big, so he slowed down and walked slowly behind a distance of one or two steps.

When they arrived at the cave area, people kept stopping to greet them, and excitedly said "I'll go to the cave first" and turned around and walked towards the honeycomb cave group, Chen Qiong compared with these people, there was never the slightest excitement to enter the cave, the candy paper in her hand was folded by her, and the sugar in her mouth also released a sweet and sour taste on the tip of her tongue.

Green apple-flavored sweets.

She actually wants to leave, in addition to not adapting to the climate and soil and water here, Mogao Grottoes also has a kind of boring out of the bustling entertainment of the big city, dozens of kilometers away from Dunhuang, in the desert Gobi, listening to the wind blowing every night, life is not convenient, these ten days in the northwest is completely supported by willpower.

Guan Ji glanced at Chen Qiong, who had been silent and a little depressed, and withdrew from He Baihe, who was talking to others: "The old man has bad legs and feet, you can help the old man up the stairs to the cave later." ”

Chen Qiong didn't answer, just kept looking at the man with questions.

Guan Ji saw that Chen Qiong was always in a low voice, and just said: "I also want to work in the cave, and I am not in the same place as the old man." ”

"Okay." Chen Qiong seemed to have just come back to her senses, nodded her head slowly, and then her eyes always fell on He Baihe in front of her, and when she saw that the old man had finished talking with someone, she stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help the old man go.

Guan Ji wanted to follow up next, but a colleague came to ask some questions about the repair, and he glanced at the old and young who walked away, and stayed where they were to answer their colleagues' questions.

He Baihe has never liked to trouble juniors, but last night had an arthritis attack, and now it is still painful, because it is not very convenient to use crutches to enter the cave, at this time, seeing Chen Qiong to help, he nodded to Chen Qiong with a smile, and then walked forward with strength: "The restoration of Dunhuang murals is generally divided into several teams to repair different caves, and our team repaired Dunhuang Cave 496, which is a typical inverted bucket cave. ”

"Girl, if you want to know what the soul of Dunhuang is, you really have to follow us to repair the wall every day, the wall has been facing for decades, and you are almost going to stay with these murals for life, and the soul is here."

Chen Qiong saw that the old man was walking harder than in the previous few days, and made some effort to support the old man's center of gravity so that he could be more comfortable, and replied with a smile: "Dean Zhao must think so too, so I asked me to follow the old man to learn and collect style, I feel that I am a blessed person." ”

This is not a compliment, because she is not familiar with it, so she has checked the old man's character entry on the Internet, and the old man is known as a generation of grandmasters in the cave mural restoration world, no matter who follows it is a blessing.

"Here we are."

He Baihe laughed very much, and pointed to the security door that had been opened in front of him, which was a cave located on the third floor of the middle of the grotto.
