The night passed quickly. When Liu Dong got up from the bed, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
After opening his hazy sleepy eyes and lying on the bed for a few seconds, Liu Dong gradually regained consciousness. After turning his head to look at the already extremely dazzling sunshine outside the window, Liu Dong reached for the alarm clock on the bedside.
"It's half past nine! Damn it, I have to go to Uncle Long's place this morning!"
In the past, Liu Dong's biological clock, which he had meditated and practiced for many years, had always been accurate. Therefore, although there was an alarm clock by his bedside, he had never set a time.
If, during this period, he had been working on wood carvings almost day and night, he was physically and mentally exhausted. In addition, he made a huge sum of money from the snuff bottle yesterday. After seeing that his dream for many years was about to be realized, Liu Dong felt really relaxed and many other factors.
At the same time, Liu Dong's biological clock was disrupted, so that he usually got up at 5:30, but now he got up late in the morning.
After seeing the time on the alarm clock, Liu Dong's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he remembered yesterday that Uncle Long asked him to take the carved statue of Guan Gong this morning. At that moment, he threw the alarm clock away and got out of bed with a thud.
He jumped up, picked up the clothes beside the bed and put them on quickly. He didn't even bother to brush his teeth or wash his face, so he opened the door and rushed out.
Liu Dong, who was anxious in his heart, was naturally pedaling the bicycle very fast. Fortunately, although his bicycle was a bit old, it was better because of its solid leather. If it had been replaced by a new bicycle with small wheels, it might have been broken apart by him.
Liu Dong, who was riding fast and furious, walked all the way through the streets and alleys. It was supposed to be a half-hour ride, but he arrived in half the time.
If the crowds in the antique city weren't too dense and the items sold were special, he might have actually wanted to ride in directly.
"Oh, it's broken!" Seeing that Uncle Long's Taiyi Pavilion was not far away, Liu Dong looked at the empty back seat, but his face was filled with annoyance, and he patted his forehead hard.
It turned out that when he came out from home, he was just rushing for time. But he forgot to take out the carved statue of Guan Gong from the mustard space. Now that there are many people and it is in the hall, he wants to take it again.
It's really not easy to come out.
Standing on tiptoes, looking across the crowd, and searching around on the street, Liu Dong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face, and thought to himself: "By the way, how could I forget it!
"
Then, he pushed his bicycle to the public restroom at the corner of the street, put the bicycle away, opened the door and walked in. A quarter of an hour later, he walked out again holding his own wooden statue of Guan Gong. Although the front and back were
There is an extra wooden sculpture, but the people around are not very curious. After all, there are many antiques in the antique city. Let alone carrying a wooden sculpture to the toilet, I am in a hurry, and I am afraid of leaving my things outside.
If it is safe to do so, easily breakable items such as porcelain and ancient paintings should be carried with you.
In this way, Liu Dong held the statue of Guan Gong in his left hand and pushed the bicycle with his right hand, walking towards Uncle Long's Taiyi Pavilion.
"Hey, brother in front, wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Hearing the voice, Liu Dong couldn't help but turned his head with a puzzled expression, and happened to see a middle-aged man in his thirties who was wearing a black and white striped T-shirt and a pair of blue and black trousers, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
He was waving to himself constantly.
"Are you calling me?" Liu Dong asked with confusion on his face.
After hearing his words, the middle-aged man first glanced at the statue of Guan Gong in his arms with affection, then raised his head and said, "Yes, brother! I don't know what to call brother?"
Looking at the middle-aged man and the two people behind him who were wearing black shirts and sunglasses, with bulging muscles and exuding a fierce aura from the inside out, Liu Dong understood what he was seeing.
People are not simple, they are either rich or noble. Moreover, looking at his eyes, Liu Dong can also guess that the man in front of him is probably interested in the statue of Guan Gong he carved.
"My surname is Liu, but we don't seem to know each other!"
Although this person was not simple, he had nothing to do with him, so Liu Dong had a very indifferent expression on his face. He had no intention of specifically trying to please him.
After Zhou Bin heard this, he couldn't help but take a look at the young man in front of him who, although dressed in ordinary clothes, exuded a tranquil and calm aura that made people feel comfortable from the inside out.
To be honest, apart from his old man and some other elders who had retired long ago, this was the first time he felt this kind of temperament in a young man today.
But after all, he had an extraordinary background and was well-informed, so his mental quality was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Therefore, although he was surprised in his heart, there was no other strange expression on his face.
"Haha, brother, don't worry. I have no ill intentions. I just like the statue of Guan Gong in your hand. I wonder if you can transfer it to me. Money is not an issue!"
"I'm sorry, I don't want to sell this Guan Gong statue for now! Goodbye!" Liu Dong, who was already in a hurry to see Uncle Long, naturally didn't want to waste time here. Besides, even if he wanted to sell this Guan Gong wooden sculpture, he would have to
Wait until Uncle Long reads it first before talking.
"Why, in broad daylight, do you still want to buy and sell by force?" Looking at the two sturdy men blocking his bicycle, Liu Dong frowned and the expression on his face became grim.
Although these two people look strong and strong, and they also carry an aura of marching when they walk, and from the faint murderous aura inadvertently revealed from their bodies, it can be seen that these two people should have come from the battlefield of life and death.
The elite soldiers who came down. But despite this, Liu Dong did not take them seriously. With the kung fu he had practiced since childhood, even these two people together were no match for him.
"Haha, little brother, I misunderstood! My subordinates are ignorant, and I will lead them to apologize to you!" As he spoke, the middle-aged man hugged his fists, then waved his hands towards his two bodyguards and said: "Iron
Son, Da Biao, get out of the way!"
Liu Dong saw some sincerity in apologizing on his face. In addition, the two cold-faced bodyguards had already moved out of the way, so the expression on Liu Dong's face softened. After nodding silently, he pushed away.
He quickly rushed towards Taiyi Pavilion on his bicycle.
"Sir, don't you want the statue of Guan Gong? Although I don't understand wood carving, I can see that the statue of Guan Gong is very beautiful!" A strong bodyguard with a scar on his left cheek and chin said.
"Yes, why don't you want it? This Guan Gong statue is the best of all the Guan Gong statues I have seen before. Although I haven't used it just now, I think the material should be gloomy wood, but I don't know what kind of gloomy wood it is. Also, I don't know what kind of gloomy wood it is.
, Guan Gong's carving is also excellent. Since I have met him, there is no reason to let him go!" After a pause, the middle-aged man looked at Liu Dong's back as he pushed the cart away, and stepped forward to chase after him, "
Come on, follow me and see if you have a chance to bring this Guan Gong statue back!"
At this time, Liu Dong, who was walking in front, naturally noticed the few people following him, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it was broad daylight, and what was traded in the antique city were all valuable works of art.
Therefore, the police force here is not weak, and few people dare to blatantly steal things here. In addition, he is very confident in his kung fu that he has practiced since childhood. Most people are not his opponent at all.
"Xiaodong, you're here, come in quickly, Uncle Long has been waiting for you!" At the door of Taiyi Pavilion, Liu Dong happened to meet Mu Gang who was standing outside the door and had been waiting for a long time.
"Hehe, I was too tired yesterday, so I got up a little late this morning." After a pause, Liu Dong pointed toward the room and lowered his voice a little, "Brother Mu, how are you? Is the old man not angry?"
"Haha, as long as you promise to fight with me, I will sue you!" After saying that, Mu Gang rolled up the sleeves on his arms, with a hint of excitement on his dull face.
After hearing what he said, Liu Dong couldn't help but waved his hands, "Forget it, I won't fight with you, a bastard. It's just looking for abuse. I'd better go in and find Uncle Long!" After saying that, Liu Dong hugged him.
He strode inside with his own statue of Guan Gong in mind.
