Volume 2 Adventures in Tibet Chapter 036 The Art of Transfiguration
Although her words are very unusual, this year is indeed my last summer vacation in college. The tail of youth, in the blink of an eye, is about to see the ends. I'm even starting to get a little sad.
After I came back from Tibet, I was idle, and I still had a lot of messy clues to deal with, and I wanted to help, but I didn't need it for the time being. So, I started to plan my travel for this summer. At five o'clock in the afternoon, I went to the football field to play a few kicks, and as I played, I was thinking about traveling.
Originally, I asked Dadi to come with me, but she had to take care of Gu Li, and Sister Meng also had something to do, and at this time, Xu Qian was very busy, and I didn't even have an appointment. After an hour of playing, I held the ball idly, leaned against the goalpost, and squinted at the red sunset and the clouds that accompanied it.
It happened that Lao Ning came to Suzhou to do some business in the past few days, and he took this opportunity to ask me to have tea, so I went to the appointment.
"It's on your mind, it's not like your style." Ning Rabbit said.
"What can I do?"
"You can't fool me." He is still light and light, as if he has seen through the true meaning of life, and the posture of the old monk makes me feel a little unhappy.
"Come on." I said dismissively, "Let's talk about you and the hostess." ”
"Hahaha, what can we do, after a while, we are going to Africa, she wants to go to the savannah to see, I fulfill her wish." Ning Rabbit's words, the original cynical image in my heart, immediately became much taller. I retracted my surprise and displeasure, and complained: "When did you go romantic, it's so unlike you!" ”
"Hahaha, what's this, who hasn't been young yet, let me tell you, when I was your age, Asami was a master!"
When I saw this expression and these words, my heart was excited, and I scolded in my heart: "This thing knows himself about him, when has this happened?" It's still up to sprinkle dog food in front of me, Lao Tzu's three wives and four concubines don't dare to blow nonsense outside, and you don't pee to take care of yourself. ”
"I'll tell you the truth, I've always felt that you weren't a good match for Miss Hi."
As soon as he said this, I immediately became angry, and my eyes widened and I said, "What nonsense! ”
Ning Tuzi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't get excited, I didn't say I wouldn't let you be together, listen to me finish speaking, you see, this Miss Ji is the dragon and phoenix among people, even if we are ordinary and we don't want to admit it in our hearts, we have to accept such a reality, she is indeed too good, the mountains look up, the scenery stops, all the light on your body, as soon as it reaches her side, it immediately becomes dim, you also feel it." ”
I have to say that Ning Rabbit's words are saying that my heart has gone up, and I don't need to comment on Ji Weiqi's excellence at all, I picked up the teacup, drank it all, and said, "Good and dignified, why are you talking about this?" ”
Ning Tuzi smiled, "I'm reminding you." ”
"Remind me of what?"
"Boy, how do you say that you are also a person with a bit of a name in the rivers and lakes, and you can be regarded as a leader in the new generation, known as Young Marshal Jin, but what have you done all these years? Either defeated Maicheng, or returned empty-handed, on the rivers and lakes, I haven't heard your name for a long time. ”
As soon as I heard this, a light flashed in my eyes, and I said with a smile: "Lao Ning, okay, it turns out that you are waiting for me here, deliberately counting me down, in order to outdo me?" Say! Have you had any business lately? ”
"Hahaha, or I like you kid, just be real!" Ning Tuzi looked up to the sky and said, "I won't tell you, I do have a big business recently, are you interested?" ”
I wanted to throw the cup in his face. I always felt that his smile showed a hidden knife in his smile, killing people invisibly, if I hadn't had a good relationship with him, I would have been sold by him a thousand and eight hundred times.
"Hehe, you old boy is not a good thing, I don't listen!" I deliberately didn't bird him, and drank tea by myself.
"I know you haven't had much going on lately." Ning Rabbit said unhurriedly.
"Then I'm not going either."
"Idle is idle."
"I still have a wife and children at home."
"Really?"
"No, no."
"Then don't regret it."
"I don't regret it."
Ning Tuzi seemed to have grasped my weakness, and wanted to catch it, and said: "Alas, well, I'm not strong, originally, this Luo Jianfen came to me for help, I didn't want to make a move, but this time the work is ......."
"! Who? Luo Jianfen?? I looked at Ning Rabbit in surprise and said, "How did she find you?" ”
This thing immediately put on a look of not caring for people, "Forget it, you won't go anyway, I'll ask another Gao Ming." ”
"You don't come to this set!" I pressed the cup in his hand and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
Luo Jianfen's sudden appearance immediately alerted me, she must have something to do when she went to find Ning Tuzi, and I felt a chill behind my back, and goosebumps were about to fall to the ground. I suddenly had a bad premonition, this coward, there won't be any fire pit dug in front of me waiting for me to jump.
Ning Rabbit began to put it up, "Wasn't you not interested just now?" ”
"I'll go! Of course I am. I pretended to smile lightly and said, "I didn't think about it clearly just now, Boss Ning, you are magnanimous, and you have to be forgiving and forgiving." ”
"That's good!" Ning Tuzi took a sip and said: "Actually, Luo Jianfen's job is a cheap one, she wants to find an ancient tomb in the Song Dynasty and take a jade pendant. ”
"Jade pendant?" My mind immediately came up with the mysterious jade pendant of the ancient Tibetan sect excavated in the deserted village, is there any connection between the two?
"This job shouldn't be difficult, it's not a trivial matter for you."
"Lao Ning, are you confused, how can you negotiate the price after the matter is completed?"
"Alas, Luo Jianfen's stinky mother-in-law has a very bad temper, not to say that she has to talk about money after the matter is completed, I said that this is not in line with the rules, and she doesn't stop, saying that she is not from the rivers and lakes, and she doesn't eat this set." Ning Tuzi shook his head and said, "But ah, it's not that you can't talk about it, if you have any requirements, you can talk to her face to face." ”
"Oh? Do you know where she is? I was surprised.
"I know, she's in Suzhou, Raising Lane."
Suzhou Nurturing Lane.
The June rain was briskly falling and crashing on the black tiles.
Ning Rabbit and I drove slowly into the alley. In front of a private house in the depths of the alley, a thin young woman wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, her long black hair hanging down her waist, her face was delicate, and her eyes were clear.
Before long, a thin but capable, housekeeper-like man of about sixty years of age opened the door and welcomed her in.
"Who is this?" I asked, sitting in the car.
"I don't know." Ning Rabbit shook his head.
"Looks like we're here today by accident."
"Let's go in and have a look."
In the yard, the two bushes of moon flowers are blooming at this time.
On the seat of the master of the red sandalwood in the hall, the old man with a gray beard, well-dressed, holding a rod with a golden mouth on the head and an emerald dry smoke on the tail, has been waiting for a long time.
When the young woman came to the hall, the old man got up and greeted her. After the woman helped the old man into the guest seat and sat down, the butler left the hall. The two talked about the old days, the woman helped pour the tea, picked up a sandalwood brocade box from the desk, opened the brocade box, and took out a dark gold cloth embroidered with patterns from it. It turned out that this cloth was woven with gold, and the fibers of the cloth were mixed in between, as if they had been torn from somewhere, and it seemed to be a piece of cloth that had been naturally corrupted.
The woman solemnly handed the cloth to the old man. Strangely, we didn't see Luo Jianfen. When we came in with the butler, we saw the old man's withered hands spread out and take the brocade cloth. He first pinched the rag with both hands, then put it under his nose and sniffed it, then put the rag to his ear and shook it to listen to the sound, and finally stroked the rag again, as if to touch every thread and fiber of the rag thoroughly.
"There will be no mistake, this cloth is the same as the splendid Luo Qi of that year, this kind of splendid Luo Qi weaving and pattern embroidery, only the Northern Wei Dynasty began to appear in history. The gold wire is staggered among them, highlighting the identity of the owner. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, textile technology gradually improved, and few emperors would meet to take this commonplace thing in the homes of ordinary people as funeral goods. ”
"Sure enough!" The old man also seemed to have foreseen it and breathed a sigh of relief, "I wanted to go to you in person, but I just had surgery recently, so it is inconvenient to move, and I don't feel at ease when I hand it over to others." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, any send, just give an order." The woman paused, then asked, "What other unspeakable addiction do you seem to have?" ”
After I observed for a while, I suddenly noticed that the beard of the old man's chin was a little strange, it stands to reason that the man's beard grew more regularly and symmetrically, but his beard was crooked to the left, "Is it ......?"
Seeing that he didn't have tobacco in his pipe, he took a dry cigarette and said, "Who are you?" ”
"Huh." I sneered in my heart, I already knew that the old man in front of me was definitely not a real old man, his beard was a flaw, maybe it was Luo Jianfen who was playing tricks.
The old man's expression was very calm, he smiled, and then asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"Teacher Luo, your disguise technique is really clever!" I pondered for a moment, but didn't say anything more, just nodded.
The old man was visibly stunned and looked at me in surprise, and then the woman stood up, looking a little nervous. Ning Tuzi was also a little confused, looking at me, I waved my hand, signaled them not to be nervous, and said, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Luo, your beard is crooked." ”
As soon as I finished saying this, the old man really subconsciously looked at his chin.
The Break of Justice.
"Hahahaha!"
Outside the hall, the pink walls and tiles, the green willows blowing the river, the whole Gusu city is shrouded in smoke and rain......
