Return to the antique shop
The van drove through the relatively narrow streets, and from time to time pedestrians crossed the road, and the black bull dodged and honked his horn angrily. The body is inlaid with a dense single hole, and the front of the car is rubbed by the stone piers, and many passers-by have pointed out and discussed.
Gao Moli helped me tie the strip of cloth wrapped around my hand tightly, and sat in my seat, watching the movement around me like a goshawk.
I pondered for a while, and said to the black bull: "Your little shop in Panjiayuan must be targeted now, there are people who are ready to move inside and out, and our going is equivalent to delivering goods to the door and throwing ourselves into the net!" ”
"Damn! My shop is full of valuable things, and if those grandsons destroy me, I'll have to fight with them! With that, the black bull twisted the steering wheel, and the dilapidated van turned into another narrow alley.
After this alley, and then cross two roads, it is Panjiayuan, I look at this posture, the black bull is afraid that he is determined to go back to see.
I kicked the driver's seat back and said angrily, "You really don't know whether to live or die!" Just a few Xibei goods in your small shop, what is there to worry about? If you destroy it, you will destroy it, if you smash it, will you test it with your life? ”
"Well, if someone is really watching, I can't go in, let's go around there and have a look. If I don't take a look at this, I'm not at ease. The black bull glanced at me in the rearview mirror and continued: "Besides, we have stabbed the hornet's nest now, and we will definitely have to hide and fight guerrillas all the way in the next time." As the saying goes, if you want to die in the world, you have to bring enough entanglements, and my belongings are all in that broken shop! ”
I saw that the black bull had made up his mind, so I no longer tried to persuade in vain, and at the moment I felt a horizontal heart, and secretly said: That's it, it's a big deal to be crazy again!
The alley we were in was one of the few shantytowns in Beijing, and it was so narrow that only two small vehicles could drive side by side. The alleys are lined with uneven low-rise houses and buildings, and in the low-lying areas of the ground are pools of stagnant water, which are run over by wheels, stirring up muddy splashes.
Gao Moli glanced forward from the windshield, pointed to a silver sedan parked a hundred meters in front of him, and said, "Change cars." ”
"Okay! Little brother, we want to go together! The black bull said, stepping on the accelerator on his foot, and the van flew off the wall, pressing the mound of dirt under the wall with one wheel, and rushed to the front of the silver car at once, and then stopped with a sudden brake.
The three of us quickly got out of the car and headed straight for the car behind us.
It was an old-fashioned Beijing Hyundai, and the paint on the body had been rubbed off in some places, and it looked like it had been driven for some years.
The Hyundai sedan was deserted, and next to it was an even narrower alley with a few scattered households. I looked around, and it was empty, and I guess the driver of the sedan had probably entered the house.
I asked a little nervously, "Black Bull, do you have any experience?" How do I open a door? ”
The black bull smiled slylyly: "This is not something that you intellectuals should consider, the mountain people have their own clever plans!" With that, he bent down and tore off the wire from the roadside barrier and walked straight to the door.
I thought he would pick the lock of the car, and I was worried about whether it would touch the alarm system on the car, but I saw that the black bull casually threw away the wire.
I nervously asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Hei Niu laughed: "God help me, this grandson's key is actually inserted in the car door!" ”
While speaking, Hei Niu opened the door and got into the car, and Gao Moli broke off the front and rear license plates and threw them into the trunk.
There was a dull start sound from the car's engine, and the three of them were riding wildly again.
The morning rush hour has passed, and the number of vehicles and pedestrians on the road is gradually decreasing, and the speed is much faster than before. More than ten minutes later, we had arrived at Panjiayuan.
Panjiayuan's shop opened relatively late, and the streets were still deserted. The black bull slowed down and looked around with high vigilance as he drove.
My heart was beating faster, and I always felt that this kind of calm was full of dangers, and I unconsciously glanced at Gao Moli, hoping to interpret a trace of the situation from his face.
Gao Moli's falcon-like gaze scanned the sides of the street, and every corner couldn't hide from his eyes.
Beijing Hyundai turned a corner and slowly stopped in front of the Black Bull store. The outer sliding security door is tightly closed, and the inner wooden door hangs a large patina lock, as if it has never been opened.
Hei Niu sat in the driver's seat, didn't dare to act without permission, turned his head to look at me and Gao Moli, and asked in a low voice: "Old Su, little brother, have you two found out about the situation?" ”
Gao Moli frowned slightly and said, "It seems that there is no one." ”
I said suspiciously, "No, they will definitely find out here, and then lay a net here, waiting for us to take the bait." ”
There was not a single suspicious person on the street, and the door of the black cow's shop was locked intact, just as it was when he left. I can't guess if the other party didn't have time to act, or if they had other plans.
"Whatever the reason! The little brother said that there are no suspicious people around, I have to go over and clean up! With that, the black bull opened the car door and went straight to the door.
I was about to take out the key to open the door, and then I remembered that I had lost all my keys. He picked up a blue brick next to him and smashed the hidden lock of the sliding security door. The dark lock was locked with the iron pillar underground, and even if the black bull smashed the green bricks, it did not break them.
"Let's go." Gao Moli greeted me, opened the door and got out of the car, and I followed closely with my backpack.
The black bull spun around in front of the door, ready to find something else to smash the lock. I saw Gao Moli walking over, without saying a word, he took out the copper pith sword and slashed at the dark lock.
The sword fell, and in an instant, sparks flew away like meteors. With a "bang", the dark lock was split, revealing a stiff white stubble!
While the black bull was amazed, the copper lock on the wooden door was also cut off by Gao Moli wielding his sword.
Pushing the door in, the room was dark, and the thick damp air came to my face.
The black bull didn't care about this, and like a hungry beast, he rushed straight to the counter.
"Huh? Why is it so big? Is your antique store manager moldy? ”
"It's been closed for a long time, it may smell like this, and I haven't opened the door for ventilation for many days!" As he spoke, the black bull picked up the backpack on the ground, opened the drawers one by one, and put all the valuable items inside.
"It's so dark in the house, can you tell which one is valuable and which one isn't?" As I spoke, I reached out and turned the light behind the door on.
The room was brighter in an instant, the black cow squatted behind the counter and continued to stuff things into his backpack, the porcelain vases and antiques on the shelves were placed as they were, and there was a large pool of water on the ground, and the edges of the water trails had turned black, as if moss had grown.
That's where the musty smell comes from.
