Well of Mystery

Chapter 169 Su Zi's Commission

Because it is not appropriate to make noise in the museum.Bai Xiuqi didn't say hello, he walked lightly and walked slowly towards Su Zi.

The young man in purple is standing in front of the huge mural on the north side of the tomb.

It was a severely weathered work, most of the mural patterns had collapsed, exposing the beige wall; and in the center of the only remaining picture, stood a young man with delicate features and dressed in purple.He was standing under a weeping willow tree with a jade flute in his hand, and the same purple flowers were blooming at his feet. The scene was beautiful and quiet.

For a moment, Bai Xiuqi suddenly felt that Su Zi was also a part of this incomplete mural.Not only because the young man in purple in the painting is somewhat similar to Su Zi, but also because Su Zi's gaze on the painting is so focused and melancholy.

...It is almost as if through the reflection in the water, recalling the passing years.

Bai Xiuqi was thinking wildly emotionally, Su Zi had already noticed him, and turned his head to look this way.

"Mr. Bai, is it you? We are really destined."

"That's right." Bai Xiuqi also responded with a smile, "What a coincidence."

"Actually, it's not a coincidence." Su Zi made a proud expression: "I've been waiting for you here for half an hour."

Bai Xiuqi immediately understood - it seems that the encounter in the art gallery this morning was not accidental, this kid turned out to have something to say to him.

"Are you looking for me?"

"I would like to ask you to help me recall some details." After speaking, Su Zi turned and pointed to the mural behind her: "Have you seen such a thing before?"

Bai Xiuqi wondered if there was anything else in the mural that he had seen before, and took a closer look—Su Zi was referring to the jade pendant on the waist of the young man in purple.

This means... the jade pendant is not only real, but also an antique?

Bai Xiuqi thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "I've never seen it before."

Su Zi frowned slightly, but she still couldn't bear to give up: "Please think about it again. Have you ever seen something similar on the ghost ship of the Japanese army on the Wandering Island?!"

So, this thing is also one of the many treasures that the Japanese soldiers robbed from Tailing?

Bai Xiuqi made a judgment in his heart, and then replied: "There are a lot of cultural relics on the ghost ship, and I only saw a small part. The Jiang Chenglu you met just now assisted the relevant parties in the inventory work. I think he should now Still with Zheng Chuchen. How about going to find them with me later?"

"just forget it."

On the contrary, Su Zi declined without thinking, and at the same time stuffed a small piece of paper into Bai Xiuqi's hand: "Please ask Mr. Jiang Chenglu for me. If you have any good news, please call me at any time. This jade pendant is right It means a lot to me. If I can get it back, I will definitely repay you well."

"Is this jade pendant yours?" Bai Xiuqi grasped the point: "So... the mural is painted on you?"

"This...it's really a long story. Let's talk about it another day." Su Zi smiled, avoiding Bai Xiuqi's gaze.

Just at this time, the guard who finally woke up also walked towards this side.Su Zi said "please" again in a low voice.Just turned around and walked outside.

Recalling Zheng Chuchen's sentence "If he wants to leave, no one can keep him", Bai Xiuqi didn't continue to chase, but looked down at the business card in his hand.

Say "business card".It doesn't seem to be accurate either - this is a piece of white cardboard with text printed on the front and back.On the front are the two big characters of Su Zi, as well as contact information such as mobile phone number and WeChat.On the reverse side are densely packed a few lines of small characters: Tailing One Day Pure Play Group.Full commentary, no mandatory shopping

Fortune-telling and character testing, if you don’t open your mouth to count your surname, if it doesn’t work, you don’t need money

Wholesale and zero souvenirs.Fair price quality assurance

...What did Zheng Chuchen say just now?Is Su Zi an experienced ghost fairy? !

Is there such a grassroots senior ghost fairy?As soon as Bai Xiuqi asked this question, he thought of the person in his family.

Well, I can only talk about the world of ghosts, foxes and fairies.It is very complicated.

After carefully putting away the business card, Bai Xiuqi went to look at the explanatory board of the mural.

"The murals on the north wall of the main tomb of the Tailing Mausoleum. Nearly 80.00% of the area has been weathered and peeled off. So far, there is only a portrait of a purple-clothed musician playing the flute in the middle. The mainstream view is that the pictures show the daily pictures of the tomb owner during his lifetime."

Daily picture?Bai Xiuqi quickly made an association in his mind - if Su Zi is really related to the purple-clothed youth in the painting, then he should be from the same era as Jiang Han, the owner of the tomb...maybe they know each other, and Good relationship.

In this way, it is perfect for him to be a tour guide in Tailing.

Perhaps Su Zi wandered in Zhang Guo's cemetery every day, so she could more or less feel the familiar atmosphere.

Bai Xiuqi felt a little funny, but also tasted a little melancholy.

If missing one's hometown is a stubborn disease, then missing one's own era is an incurable disease.Once you miss it, you can't clean it up, because no one can reverse the time, only drift away.

After passing the storage room behind the main tomb, the restored part of the murals is at the end.Bai Xiuqi bought an introduction brochure of Tailing Mausoleum at the distribution office, then left the museum and walked out slowly.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.The midwinter sky was in chaos, and the street lamps were lit for the first time.Bai Xiuqi fastened the scarf and took out the phone from his pocket.

At this time, Jiang Chenglu and Zheng Chuchen should also leave.

To be honest, Bai Xiuqi deliberately wanted to avoid Zheng Chuchen this morning, perhaps because the other party's identity as an "immortal" was too cold and noble.After staying in Xuanjing's apartment for a long time, he prefers to deal with all kinds of goblins.

While thinking this way, Bai Xiuqi sent a text message to Jiang Chenglu.After sending, put the phone back into the pocket, and walked along the street to the direction of the river.

A few days ago, he accidentally overheard a phone call from Jiang Chenglu.Tonight, Jiang Chenglu booked dinner and a room at the Platinum Five-Star Hotel by the river, perhaps it should be regarded as a "celebration banquet" for the art exhibition.

Although Bai Xiuqi has been pretending to be ignorant these days, in fact she has been silently looking forward to it.After all, he was busy preparing for the art exhibition some time ago, and he and Jiang Chenglu hadn't "connected" for a long time.

The path in front of the museum was about 50 meters long, and Bai Xiuqi went all the way to the end without receiving a reply from Jiang Chenglu.After thinking about it, he simply made a phone call.

beep...beep...beep

The notification sounded monotonously, but Jiang Chenglu didn't answer it until the system ended automatically.

really weird.

Jiang Chenglu was very impatient, and in the past the phone would be answered within three rings, but what happened today.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiuqi called again, but no one answered the reminder.

What the hell is this guy doing?

It's not that dangerous, after all, there are probably not many people in the world who can attack Jiang Chenglu; at this moment, Jiang Chenglu should probably still be tired of being together with Zheng Chuchen, and he would not want to leave.

Bai Xiuqi was a little worried, but it was not enough to go online.That's all, let's treat them as good brothers and let Jiang Chenglu have a good chat.

It was almost time for dinner, thinking that Jiang Chenglu would call back at any time, Bai Xiuqi found a random cafe and sat in, and began to wait tediously.In the next hour, he made six calls to Jiang Chenglu, but none of them were successfully connected.

An hour later, Bai Xiuqi sent a message to Jiang Chenglu's mobile phone that he would go home first, then checked out and walked out of the cafe to find his car in the parking lot.

Half an hour later, the vehicle slowly drove into the old apartment gate.

Bai Xiuqi parked the car and closed the iron gate.Turning his head to look again, among the high and low soul fires, the den he shared with Jiang Chenglu was still pitch black.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Bai Xiuqi's cell phone finally started to ring.He didn't want to answer it at first, but he couldn't help answering it until the seventh tone sounded.

The number displayed on the caller ID was indeed Jiang Chenglu's number, but the voice on the phone came from another man.

"Hi, hello, I'm Zheng Chuchen."

The man with Jiang Chenglu spoke clearly and politely: "I'm really sorry, Ah Jiang is drunk. We're at Genting Plaza now. Can you tell me your address? I'll drive him back."

"..."

Bai Xiuqi was speechless for a second, and asked Zheng Chuchen, "Can he answer the phone?"

Zheng Chuchen said "Okay", and after two or three seconds, he heard Jiang Chenglu's heavy breathing: "Hey... Dear, dear... Where are you?"

To say that Jiang Chenglu was not drunk much, Bai Xiuqi was really annoying and found it funny, so he asked him after a while: "Aren't you going to invite me to dinner tonight? The seats are all booked .”

"Ah. That's right!" Jiang Chenglu didn't know whether he really remembered it or faked it: "Isn't it...it's only nine o'clock in the evening? I'll come to you, let's go together."

"Forget it." Bai Xiuqi sighed, got up and started looking for a coat: "Give the phone to Zheng Chuchen, and I'll tell him."

The mobile phone was quickly transferred to Zheng Chuchen, and Bai Xiuqi organized his words: "The terrain here at Xuanjing Apartment is too complicated, and the road is difficult to recognize. I think that guy Jiang Chenglu is very drunk, so he is unlikely to help guide the way. Just leave him in the store, and I'll pick him up in a moment."

Zheng Chuchen didn't hesitate, and then reported the name and address of the store.Bai Xiuqi took a note, then dressed and went out again.

I don't know when it started, the sky began to snow again, and the northwest wind was blowing like a knife, and it hurt my face like a knife.Bai Xiuqi ran downstairs without an umbrella, just in time to meet Le Yaochun who stayed up late to go to the toilet.

"Hey, where are you going so late?" Le Yaochun asked, shrinking his neck.

Bai Xiuqi smiled wryly, but did not answer.
