Chapter 36: The Whereabouts of the Beauty Figure
The three of them went back to school together, and as soon as they walked to the school gate, they saw Mai Wenxiang standing at the door, looking around on tiptoe, with a very anxious expression. Wu Hou was not at home when she went back last night, and she couldn't get through to him, so she fell asleep while waiting, and when she woke up in the morning, she didn't see Wu Hou, she was anxious and worried about Wu Hou.
Wu Hou approached Mai Wenxiang and shouted, "Xiangxiang." ”
When Mai Wenxiang heard Wu Hou's voice and saw him, she relieved herself and said, "Where have you been?
Wu Hou looked at Feng Mo and Li Zhiguang embarrassedly, and took out his mobile phone to take a look, it turned out that there was no power turned off, he smiled and said, "There is no power." ”
Mai Wenxiang noticed Feng Mo with a bandage on his head, and then looked at Li Zhiguang, who was smiling on the side, and she said to Wu Hou unhappily: "Fight?"
"How do you know?" Wu Hou became depressed.
"Cut, I don't know about you yet, look at that guy's head is wrapped like a bun, are you going out for someone?" Mai Wenxiang pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
Wu Hou smiled awkwardly and didn't speak. Mai Wenxiang continued: "It's only been one day of school, what a good friendship, so righteous, you will suffer in the future." "Girls may be more delicate and think more than boys.
Wu Hou shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It's okay, after all, they are all classmates, and they should help a bunch of people." ”
"Hmph, you're a good old man. Mai Wenxiang snorted, turned around and walked into the school, still not forgetting to urge Wu Hou to say, "Hurry up." ”
Wu Hou and the three of them followed behind Mai Wenxiang, and then they walked into the school and walked towards their class in the flow of people.
Feng Mo, who was following behind, had a bandage on his head, which inevitably attracted the attention of others. He was a little embarrassed, put his arm around Wu Hou's shoulders, lowered his head a little, and asked Wu Hou in a low voice: "Wu Hou, this beauty seems to be in our class." ”
Wu Hou nodded and said, "Yes, you came with me from my hometown." ”
"She just said that you didn't come home last night?" Feng Mo asked with some thought, "You... Cohabiting?"
"Fuck your uncle's eggs. Wu Hou scolded and explained, "It's a shared house! We have been classmates since junior high school." ”
Feng Mo smiled and said, "Childhood sweetheart, it's so romantic." ”
Wu Hou glanced at him, ignored him, and went straight back to the class.
There was no word for a day, and in the afternoon, the day was almost over, and the students were all out of school again. As soon as he got out of the school gate, Mai Wenxiang grabbed Wu Hou, for fear that he was running blindly, if something happened, he would be in trouble.
However, when Mai Wenxiang dragged Wu Hou to the place where he lived, Zhou Shu was stunned from the side, and she couldn't help but ask Mai Wenxiang, "Do you know each other?" Mai Wenxiang nodded with a smile.
Zhou Shu was embarrassed, thinking about it like this, Wu Hou didn't smile at himself yesterday, he was really sentimental.
Several people said goodbye at the intersection, and Zhou Shu invited Mai Wenxiang and Wu Hou to his house to play, but Mai Wenxiang refused, saying that he would go again another day when he had time.
So the two returned to the place where they lived, Mai Wenxiang went to wash his face, and Wu Hou breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa, Duanmu Shenjiu's side.
Duanmu Shenjiu was closing his eyes to recuperate, and after Wu Hou sat down, he asked lightly, "You didn't suffer a loss, did you?"
Wu Hou knew that Duanmu Shenjiu asked about last night, and replied with a smile: "How come, I am your apprentice." ”
"Poor mouth. Duanmu Shenjiu spat out two words.
Wu Hou remembered the agreement with the Hunter Boss last night, and hurriedly got up and said, "By the way, I still want to see that guy." ”
"Hmm. Duanmu Shinjiu opened his eyes.
Wu Hou picked up his mobile phone, called the boss of the trapper, and asked after the phone was connected, "Where are you, I'm out of school." ”
The Hunter Boss agreed, "I'll pick you up after school, you wait for me later." ”
The master and apprentice sat quietly for a while, and when the phone rang again, they stood up and prepared to go out, but at this time, Mai Wenxiang came out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Mai Wenxiang asked, looking at Wu Hou and Duanmu Shenjiu.
"Go out and do something. Wu Hou replied.
"I'll go too. ”
"What are you going to do? stay at home. ”
"I won't, I'll go. Mai Wenxiang sprinkled coquettishly.
Wu Hou looked at Duanmu Shenjiu helplessly, Duanmu Shenjiu nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
So Mai Wenxiang followed Wu Hou and Duanmu Shenjiu together. Halfway through, Wu Hou asked Duanmu Shenjiu in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that she will know your identity?"
Duanmu Shenjiu also replied to Wu Hou in a low voice: "Then what's the matter, is there anything you can't see? Your best friend, why don't you worry." ”
"I'm not afraid of scaring her," Wu Hou muttered quietly.
Duanmu Shenjiu glanced at Mai Wenxiang, who was bouncing in front, shook his head and said, "I can't be scared." ”
The three of them walked to the gate of the community and saw a black Santana parked on the side of the road, and the fourth hunter leaned on the front of the car, smoking a cigarette very chicly.
He saw Duanmu Shenjiu and Wu Hou and shouted, "Wu Hou, this way, this way." ”
When he came to the car, the fourth child opened the car door very attentively, let the three of them into the car, and then sat in the driver's seat by himself, driving the vehicle, turning around on the road.
After driving for nearly half an hour, the fourth took the three of them to a very luxurious hotel, with two stone lions resting at the door, and a pond, and the fountain spewed beautiful lines with the melody of music. The hall was even more magnificent, and the welcome lady stood behind the revolving door, and as soon as the three of them entered the door, she politely said, "Welcome." ”
The fourth took the three of them into the elevator and came directly to a box on the upper floor, where the rest of the hunters and a woman were already waiting here, and the table was full of delicacies.
As soon as they entered the door, the hunter and the woman got up one after another to be polite, Duanmu Shenjiu was silent, Wu Hou greeted them one by one with a smile, and sat down in a courtesy.
The eldest of the hunters was sitting on the main seat at the back, and when he saw that everyone was already seated, he picked up a bottle of red wine on the table and hurriedly asked the third child to pour the wine. The third child took the red wine and hurriedly poured red wine into each person's cup. At this time, the boss picked up his wine glass and spoke, "Wu Hou, benefactor, and this little girl, welcome to beautiful Hangzhou, on behalf of the citizens of Hangzhou... No, I can't represent the citizens, but on behalf of our brothers, welcome to you. ”
After taking a sip of wine, the boss continued: "Formally introduce yourself, my name is Wang Youzhi." Then he pointed to the second, third, and fourth on the side and said: "This is Wang Youcai, Wang has power, and Wang Youfu." Finally, he pointed to his woman and said, "This is... Be... Haha. ”
Mai Wenxiang laughed out loud, Wu Hou also pursed his lips and wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, Duanmu Shenjiu looked indifferent and didn't seem to have any emotion.
The woman scolded, "you, it's not serious." She looked at Duanmu Shenjiu apologetically, thinking that this person was really handsome.
Wang Youzhi laughed and said, "Just kidding, just kidding, this is my wife, just call her Lanlan." ”
Mai Wenxiang looked at Lan Lan and took the initiative to say, "Hello sister." ”
Lan Lan listened to this sister, immediately smiled, and said happily: "It's still this little girl who can speak, and this sister calls me young." ”
Wang Youzhi nodded again and again, looked at Mai Wenxiang and gave a thumbs up.
"Come, eat, there's nothing to entertain, this hotel is quite famous in the neighborhood, and I don't know if it's right for your taste. ”
Wu Hou and Mai Wenxiang picked up the chopsticks, what are they children, there are delicious food, and they still can't help the gluttony in their stomachs. But Duanmu Shenjiu never moved his chopsticks, and he kept the news of the beauty picture in his heart.
He couldn't help but ask, "Don't forget the business." ”
Wang Youzhi put down his chopsticks, "Oh, this joy almost forgot about the business." ”
He put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then said: "The painting you gave me last time, I took it out and showed it to several insiders, all of whom are old rivers and lakes who have often come into contact with ancient paintings, and they all said they had never seen it." ”
Wang Youzhi sold a pass, took a bite of the dish and asked, "I'm going to give up, guess what?"
"What?" Wu Hou then asked.
"Later, on the promotional poster of the auction house, I saw this painting! Wang Youzhi laughed.
After hearing this, Duanmu Shenjiu frowned, thought for a while and asked, "Is the painting going to be auctioned at auction?"
"Yes. Wang Youcai took over and replied: "It is the auction house of Gu Jiajie, a wealthy local businessman, and there are many rare and exotic objects that are auctioned at him every year. ”
"Time?" Duanmu Shenjiu asked succinctly.
Wang Youzhi replied: "This Sunday is the day after tomorrow." ”
"Where's the location?" Wu Hou asked.
Wang Youzhi said: "Gu Jiajie's manor is in the mountains. ”
Duanmu Shenjiu nodded and said, "When the time comes, you lead the way and send us over." ”
Wang Youzhi was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "Benefactor, it's not that I don't want to send you, it's that place, I can't get in." ”
"Why?"
Wang Youcai said with a wry smile: "That Gu Jiajie, rich and powerful, and one of the eight masters, the people who go to participate in the auction are all insiders, either business tycoons, or people in the rivers and lakes, our small courtyard can't be connected with that kind of top person..."
Duanmu Shenjiu was displeased, and looked at Wu Hou, but Wu Hou couldn't help it, so he gave a helpless expression.
After thinking about it for a while, Duanmu Shenjiu said, "Which mountain is Gu Jiajie's manor in?"
"Tianxi Mountain. Wang Youcai replied, and then added, "Even if you can go in, you may not be able to get the painting." ”
"And why?" Duanmu Shenjiu looked at Wang Youcai.
Wang Youcai smiled and said, "The objects auctioned there have to be 200,000 yuan, to say the least, do you have 200,000?"
After Duanmu Shenjiu heard this, he was speechless. I woke up, and to this day, I really haven't owned half a dime.
He was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, "This is a little difficult. ”
Immediately afterwards, the four brothers laughed, and then Wang Youzhi said loudly: "Fourth, quickly give the prepared things to your life-saving benefactor." ”
Wang Youfu agreed, took out a handbag from under the table, and handed it to Wu Hou. Wu Hou took it, opened the bag and looked at it, it turned out to be a pile of hundred-yuan bills, he looked at it in his eyes, and estimated in his heart that there must be four or five hundred thousand.
Then, Wang Youfu looked at Duanmu Shenjiu and smiled diligently: "I know that you don't love money, and there is nothing to honor you, but as the saying goes, a penny is hard for a hero, this time you just used it, I paid out of my own pocket and prepared 500,000 for you." ”
Duanmu Shenjiu looked at Wu Hou, Wu Hou lowered his head and roughly counted the money, it was indeed 500,000. He nodded to Duanmu Shenjiu and mumbled. Duanmu Shenjiu then looked at Wang Youfu and said, "If I get the beauty picture in the auction, I will be grateful." ”
Wang Youfu shook his head again and again and said: "No need, after all, you saved my life, this 500,000 yuan, although it is a huge amount of money, but compared to my life, it is nothing." ”
Wang Youzhi also said, "Yes, in the future, we can use the place of our four brothers, and we will order at any time, as long as we can help, we will never refuse." ”
Duanmu Shenjiu looked at the sincere four people, his heart was happy, and he smiled rarely.
After sitting for a short time, Wu Hou, Duanmu Shenjiu and Mai Wenxiang got up and prepared to leave. Wang Youzhi, who was drunk, muttered and said vaguely: "Don't.. Don't leave.. I opened a bar, and we went to sit together, and in it... Inside..."
The third king, who had rarely spoken at the dinner, had the right to speak at this time, and took Wang Youzhi's words and said: "There is everything in it, big and small..."
Wang Youzhi's wife, Lan Lan, supported the two of them, looked at Duanmu Shenjiu apologetically and said, "I've drunk too much, I've drunk too much, I'm really sorry." ”
Duanmu Shenjiu shook his head and said, "It's okay, man." Hello take care of a few people, I'm waiting to leave. With that, he left with Wu Hou and Mai Wenxiang.
After the few people left, the four men and women in the room sat down again. Lan Lan looked at Wang Youfu and asked with a smile: "You benefactor, why do you talk like a long braid on TV." ”
Wang Youfu shook his head drunkenly and said vaguely: "Then who knows, strange people... Strange people..."
After leaving the hotel, under the service of the hostess, several people were taken to a taxi that had been ordered. The welcome lady took the initiative to open the car door, and did not close the car door until all three of them got into the car, and said softly, "Go slowly." During this period, I also took a few more glances at Duanmu Shenjiu.
Wu Hou saw it in his eyes and thought, this is good-looking, it is also good, at least it is likable, but when he met it, there were a few women who coveted the beauty of the master. Thinking about it, he looked at Mai Wenxiang and said in his heart that he didn't know if Xiangxiang liked Master like this.
Mai Wenxiang saw Wu Hou looking at him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Wu Hou shook his head, "It's okay." ”
Mai Wenxiang pursed her lips, knowing that Wu Hou was not telling the truth. After a while, she saw that Duanmu Shenjiu had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, so she asked Wu Hou in a low voice, "Wu Hou, do you have something to hide from me?"
Wu Hou looked at Mai Wenxiang puzzled, "What's the matter?" ”
Mai Wenxiang looked incredulous, pouted and said, "When I was eating just now, I heard it." He's not your cousin, is he?" he pointed his finger at Duanmu Shenjiu.
Wu Hou patted Mai Wenxiang's hand and didn't say much. Mai Wenxiang is smart, Wu Hou doesn't say it, she doesn't ask more, knowing that if he doesn't talk about it, there must be a reason for him.
The car stopped and stopped, turned an unknown number of corners, crossed an unknown number of traffic lights, ran for more than an hour, and finally sent a few people to the place. Wu Hou also wondered why when he came back, it took so much more time than when he went. When checking out, I looked at the price displayed on the meter, and I realized that the driver was deliberately detouring and running farther.
But there is no need to reason with him, Wu Hou, who is holding 500,000 yuan in his arms and has come into contact with so much money for the first time, has a nouveau riche mentality, so he took out two hundred-yuan bills with great wealth, threw them to the driver very happily, and said: "No need to look for it." ”
Of course, the driver likes it very much, and is most willing to serve such passengers, so he took the money and said goodbye to a few people.
