Chapter 39: An Exotic Beautiful Girl in Golden Armor
After following the girl out of the alley, turning a corner, Qin Li saw the gate of Qingyangyuan.
Scold! It turns out that the back door is in Qingyang Garden, which is mysterious, I thought the back door was in the sky!
Qin Li couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Qingyang Garden seems to be very quiet on this night, even a little quieter than the Wu Hou Garden next door, towering and dense trees surround the buildings, covering the light and shadow in the building, dyeing the courtyard under the night with a touch of tranquility and mystery.
A few street lamps lit up the road ahead, and Qin Li could see clearly that they were about to reach the end of the courtyard.
"Mr. Qin, please!"
At the end of the courtyard, there is an independent small courtyard, the arch bridge is littered with stones, and the winding water flows, which is quite ancient.
The girl took Qin Li into the small courtyard, stepped on pebbles of different shapes, listened to the sound of gurgling water, and came to a retro bungalow with small green tiles on the top of a hanging mountain.
Looking at this house alone, it is hard to imagine that this is a pawn shop, hidden in the hustle and bustle of the city, like an inn and a museum.
With a "squeak", the girl pushed open the door, and a strong smell of wood mixed with sandalwood fragrance came to her face, accompanied by a thick incense mist.
Qin Qi raised his hand and fanned it gently, finding some familiar flavors from these mixed aromas.
Cinnabar, limestone, limestone, grease, wax......
"Is it Qin Xiansen?"
Just as Qin Li was looking around, trying to find the source of the smell, a man speaking Cantonese Mandarin suddenly appeared.
Qin Bai turned around and found that the other party was a young man who was not tall, but lean and sturdy, with dark skin.
Nodding slightly, it was a greeting.
"Qin Xiansen, please take a seat."
The light man invited Qin Li to sit on a Taishi chair, and he sat on the carved wooden chair at the bottom right.
Qin Li raised his eyebrows, and had already guessed the identity of this man in his heart, he was definitely not Boss Luo, but Boss Luo's henchman or assistant.
"Qin Xiansen is a friend of Boss Wang, right?" The man turned sideways and looked at Qin Li.
Qin Bai nodded, "Yes." β
"What are you going to pawn?" The man asked again.
"I want to see you Boss Luo." Qin Li said truthfully.
"He's not here."
After speaking, the man got up and put on a posture of sending off the guests.
Qin Yi hooked his lips, got up, looked at the man, and asked, "Hu Yi is who you Boss Luo is?" β
The man was stunned for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "Our boss doesn't know Hu Yi." β
"Oh?" Qin Li raised his eyebrows again, "I don't know, then why did you guarantee her in front of Bai Jingsheng?" β
"Oh, no, what are you locking! Please fatten! β
As soon as the man was nervous, his Mandarin became more and more astringent, and when he opened his mouth, it was the salty sea breeze.
Qin Qi smiled and slowly walked towards the door.
The man followed him step by step, his whole body tensed, and the girl who had led the way before suddenly appeared, standing in the corner of the room, looking at Qin Yu with a wary gaze.
Qin Li put his tongue on the top of his cheeks, turned his head to scan the room, and finally stopped his gaze on the statue of Guan Gong facing east.
Staring at the slightly open eyes on the statue of Guan Gong, Qin Qi said coldly: "No matter who Hu Yi is or who you are Hu Yi, please keep your distance from her, otherwise, I will dig out the things you have hidden here!" β
With that, he ignored the angry expressions of the man and the girl and strode away.
"Oh my God! Am I being discovered? Guan Gong suddenly spoke, and his slightly open eyes also flashed with black light.
"Should.. Probably not. The man wasn't sure, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and let out a breath
"Look at you, is Mr. Qin so scary? It's not just a little white face. "The girl's Mandarin is very standard, the words are correct and round, and there is a little Beijing accent.
"I'm hot, it's not April yet, why is it so hot!" The man walked over to the table, took a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Erluo, he's not an ordinary little white face."
With a "click", the wall dedicated to the statue of Guan Gong was suddenly pushed open, and a dark and tall man walked out from behind the wall, he was the pawn shop's boss Luo.
"Boss, you're sweating too." The man looked at Boss Luo and poured him a cup of tea.
Boss Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the tea handed by the man, took a sip, sat down on the Taishi chair, and said slowly: "Erluo, Xiao Luo, you come here." β
The girl and the man stepped forward and stood in front of Boss Luo upright.
"Recently, we have been low-key and temporarily closed for business, so you two can also travel hand in hand." Boss Luo said.
"Boss, don't you say that the rectification of the city that never sleeps will affect you?" Xiao Luo wondered.
"Who's going to travel hand in hand with him!" Erluo glanced at Xiao Luo with disgust.
"It's not the thing that we're hiding in the city that never sleeps, it's Boss Qin, it's the little white face just now." Boss Luo said helplessly.
When Qin Li walked into this room, Boss Luo could see that he was not here to borrow usury, let alone pawn things.
After hearing the name of "Hu Yi", he finally knew who this person was, Boss Qin of the Star Gallery, a powerful character who was a little more mysterious than him.
He didn't expect that his efforts at that time would provoke a figure who made him jealous.
He and Hu Yi only have a one-sided relationship, and he helped her, just because he didn't want such a simple and lovely girl to fall into the hands of those wolves.
Besides, he has a good impression of Hu Yi, so he can't stand idly by.
It's just that he never thought that Boss Qin would be so concerned about his employees that he would chase after this matter.
Boss Qin, but he doesn't want to deal with people for the time being!
"You stole his paintings?" Erluo asked.
"Boss, why are you stealing chickens and dogs again?" Xiao Luo looked at Boss Luo reproachfully.
"Oops, I didn't steal!" Boss Luo hurriedly waved his hand and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't want to steal it!" β
"Also, what are you stealing chickens and touching dogs, don't use the word "chicken" to scold people in the future, understand?" Boss Luo looked at Xiao Luo with some anger.
"Understood." Xiao Luo lowered his head and said.
"Boss, the old lady said that if you go to steal the painting again, let me cut off your hand." Er Luo stared at Boss Luo's hand and said lightly.
Boss Luo rubbed his hands and said with a sneer: "Oh, how could I steal paintings, I'm a good young man!" β
Hearing Boss Luo's words, Xiao Luo raised his head and glanced at him quickly, and muttered in his heart: I don't know who was always wandering outside the Starry Sky Gallery some time ago!
Half a month later, Hu Yi recovered and was discharged from the hospital, although there was no problem with walking, Qin Li still bought her a cane and asked her to walk with crutches.
"Boss Qin, I really don't need to, I feel like a disabled person like this!" Hu Yi grumbled and threw his crutches aside.
"Well, just use it until the next review." Qin Li handed the crutches to Hu Yi again and coaxed softly.
Hu puffed out his cheeks and reluctantly took the crutches.
Although she recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Qin Li still gave Hu Yi a holiday, let her rest at home, and waited until the next re-examination to confirm that there were no sequelae before letting her go to work.
Of course, sick leave is counted, and wages are paid.
However, Hu Yi only stayed at home for two days and began to get irritable, because he couldn't see Qin Li, and he didn't even have the heart to paint.
"What is Boss Qin doing?" Hu Yi bit the tip of the pen and began to wander again.
Glancing at the crutches standing at the head of the bed, Hu Yi decided to go to the gallery to have a look.
With a cane in hand, Hu called a taxi and rushed to the gallery.
When I came to the gallery, it was almost five o'clock, and Hu Yi knew Qin Li's habits, and he didn't see customers after six o'clock, so the time was just right, so he had dinner with him, chatted for a while, and then went home.
Pushing open the gallery door, a familiar lemon aroma came to his nose, making Hu feel refreshed.
"It's still so clean, when I'm not there, Boss Qin should hire someone to clean it, right?"
Hu Yi found that he hadn't been here for a month, but the gallery was still as clean as ever, and even the glass windows facing the street were spotless and bright like a mirror.
Hu Yi stood in front of the glass window, cut his hair, and his oblique bangs were already long, and they were pinned behind his ears by Hu Yi.
The whole goose egg face was exposed, and it looked whiter and whiter in the afterglow of the falling sun.
"Bang!"
The sound of a heavy object falling came from the second floor, breaking the silence of the gallery and also attracting Hu Yi's attention.
"Boss Qin?"
She walked in the direction of the stairs, confused and curious.
"What fell to the ground, and there was such a big movement?"
Just as she stepped up the stairs, she was blinded by a bright flash of golden light.
"What's so bright?" Hu Yi immediately closed his eyes.
βΒ‘Alto ahΓ!β (Stop!) οΌ
Qin Li's voice suddenly appeared, accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps.
"Boss Qin?"
As soon as Hu opened his eyes, he saw a golden thing floating down from the upper floor, and Qin Li followed closely behind, as if he wanted to grab the mass of things.
When he saw Hu Yi, Qin Yi immediately became nervous, and waved his hand at Hu Yi and shouted, "Get out of the way!" β
"Huh?" Hu Yi looked confused.
"Bang!"
The golden mass crashed into Hu Yi, and then continued to run forward.
"Ahh
Hu Yi fell behind him, and in a panic, he held a cane in his hand and waved it indiscriminately.
"Be careful!"
Qin Li stretched out his long hand, grabbed the crutches, and grabbed Hu Yi, who was about to fall to the ground.
Hu Yi leaned towards Qin Yi and grabbed his shirt nervously.
"Ahem! Are you going to strangle me? Qin Yi hugged Hu Yi tightly and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
"Hug .. I'm sorry! Hu Yi immediately let go of his hand and took a step back with his crutches.
After seeing Hu Yi standing firm, Qin Li walked towards the front and shouted, "Β‘Si quieres ser arrastrado de vuelta al cuadro, sigue corriendo!" (If you want to be pulled back into the painting, keep running!) οΌ
Hu Yi followed Qin Li's line of sight and found that the golden thing had finally stopped, hiding behind the statue of Venus with a broken arm, shivering.
At this time, Hu Yi saw clearly that the other party was a red-haired and blue-eyed beautiful girl, and she was naked and covered with gold.
What's the situation?
An exotic beautiful girl in golden armor?
