Charming Avalokitesvara

Chapter 9

People with good looks are more likely to arouse the favor of others. If they are polite and human, it is easier for others to like them.After a meal, Du Huai'an successfully won people's hearts.

Shao Kuancheng didn't talk much from the beginning to the end, he didn't talk if he could not, and he didn't know if he was really hungry, he ate with great relish.

However, Du Huai'an did not become more relaxed because of this - although on the surface it looked the same as before - but he was also silently examining the other party.

It is true that Shao Kuancheng has a good relationship with the people in Zhenwan Street, but since he met Shao Kuancheng, Shao Kuancheng's seemingly enthusiastic actions, as the object of his "enthusiasm", Shao Kuancheng's actions are close to reckless.

No one likes a person who forcibly squeezes into their own life without any explanation. As a half-stranger who doesn't know each other well, what Shao Kuancheng has done has undoubtedly crossed the line.

What does Shao Kuancheng want to know from him?Song Huai'an had to speculate like this, after all, Shao Kuancheng's identity was still a policeman in the final analysis!

After the dinner party, Shao Kuancheng asked to stay and help clean up. After all, there were so many people, there were a lot of dishes and chopsticks, and they had to wipe the table and clean the floor. Du Huai'an didn't know how long he would be busy by himself.

Du Huai'an originally refused, and kept saying that it was too much trouble, there was really no need for it, and he could handle it alone, but Shao Kuancheng insisted, and the others seemed to have a kind of "happy to hear and see" about this matter Du Huai'an didn't know what to say, so he could only agree.

But he still has a kind of... the kind that can only be seen in unreliable novels, where the whole family goes out to help his son chase his wife... If he is a woman...

However, he also heard that Shao Kuancheng had a first love girlfriend, and this first love girlfriend occupied an extremely important position in Shao Kuancheng's heart, which made it impossible for Shao Kuancheng to fall in love with any other woman.

——It seems that he is still the infatuated male number two that only appears in shoujo manga!

Listening to the sound of Shao Kuancheng washing in the open-air pool in the back yard, Du Huai'an was thinking wildly while wiping the table.

The efficiency of two people is indeed much faster than that of one person. Shao Kuancheng quickly washed the dishes, wiped them clean and put them in Du Huai'an's residence behind.

Here I want to briefly talk about Du Huai'an's shop.

A house with two entrances and two exits, with a small courtyard, a shop in the front and a residence in the back.The rent for such a yard is not cheap in T City, not to mention the large amount of renovation costs before, so what Du Huai'an said about him as a poor student with little money is not very credible according to the current situation. .

But many people in Zhenwan Street actually have such a past story. For example, you would never think of the lame widower who sold fake walnuts and root carvings at the corner. Ten years ago, he dominated one side in T City. Shake his position.

But in this world, there is always a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people.He thought he was ruthless enough, but he didn't expect that there was someone more ruthless than him.

In fact, even he himself may not quite remember why the conflict happened back then. He only remembers the eyes full of resentment before the tragic death of his beloved wife, as if he was questioning why he took such a road, and he was frightened and went crazy. daughter.

Shao Kuancheng remembered that the old widower said to himself while raising the few Wenwan walnuts in his hand: "One thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon."

Therefore, Shao Kuancheng can understand those who have past, some of them take refuge here, some comfort each other here, they are all a group of hateful and pitiful people.

Although he was curious about Du Huai'an's lies, he also respected the other party's wishes.

Shao Kuancheng came out from behind and said to Du Huai'an who was sweeping the floor, "I've finished washing the dishes."

"Well, thank you." Du Huai'an responded, and subconsciously said: "Thank you for your hard work, let's take a rest!"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I immediately regretted it!

This was a polite remark that couldn't be more polite, so he didn't think about it at all, but judging from Shao Kuancheng's performance these days——

"Okay! Then I won't be polite!"

really!

Du Huaian scorned himself fiercely in his heart.

But, that's fine too...

Lin Tao closed his eyes, lying on the bed, holding the Purple Dragon Jade Avalokitesvara on his chest with both hands, with a peaceful look on his face.

This is the last work left four years ago.

Yes, unlike the fake at the auction, this one is Yuanyuan's real work.

Lin Tao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, like an aftertaste.

What happened that night, even though four years have passed, every time I think about it, I still feel hot and swollen in my head. Even every small detail comes to my mind one by one, making it unforgettable.

Yuan Yuan is Professor Wan's student, yes, he has always known about it.

Yuanyuan has no talent. In daily contact, Lin Tao can clearly feel that Yuanyuan has no talent in antiques.Not only is he not talented, he is also stupid to death. He can't remember the age, authenticity, kiln opening, and regional characteristics of those antiques.

And the things he made are indeed of average appearance. If he hadn't met such a kind teacher as Professor Wan, he might have been buried long ago.

But there are also a few times, Yuanyuan will always come up with a few imitations that amaze them. Although there are still jerky and deficiencies, it is not difficult to imagine that if this trend continues, there will always be One day distant works will shock the whole antique circle.

Lin Tao didn't expect this day to come so soon—when Yuan Yuan presented the Purple Dragon Jade Guanyin in front of them, they were all stunned!

The natural color of Zilong jade matches the shape of Guanyin statue very well, but jade is a hard and fragile material, and a good piece of jade will be ruined if you are not careful.However, all the knife work of this Guanyin statue is round and natural, without the slightest mistake or hesitation. The author's technique is important, but the inspiration at the moment of carving is the most important factor in the achievement of this Guanyin statue.

With this statue of Avalokitesvara, Yuanyuan became a hot newcomer in the circle. Even Professor Wan praised that he had never seen such a perfect imitation. After a few years, this statue should be like many others. Like many treasures, it has become a precious ancient cultural relic.

This Guanyin statue seems to have magical powers, making everyone who has seen him fascinated by her and bow down to him.

That night, when they went to Yuanyuan's house, Yuanyuan seemed to have drunk some wine, and his whole person seemed a little excited and mentally abnormal.He kept yelling and yelling inside the house, saying it was too noisy outside, that damn construction team was still working so late, and there were those damn workers making a scene outside, the noise was unbearable .

The construction team outside the window had already finished work, and some workers sat around and played cards under the street lamp, but the sound could not come in from such a distance.

They were all laughing, laughing far away and drinking too much, and they had already hallucinated.

However, Yuanyuan didn't seem to hear what they said, and was still making noise.They felt that they had come at the wrong time, and were about to say goodbye and leave, but suddenly realized that Yuanyuan had picked up the Guanyin statue on the alcove and walked to the balcony, as if he was going to smash the noisy workers outside with the Guanyin statue.

They were shocked and rushed over to stop them, but that night Yuanyuan seemed to be crazy, with terrifying strength, and finally Ken picked up a vase and smashed it on his head, Yuanyuan suddenly collapsed, bright red Blood was bubbling from his head.

Fu Zaiyu originally wanted to call an ambulance, but at that moment, Lin Tao seemed to be fascinated, and said, "Hey wait! Don't you...don't you want to have this Guanyin statue?"

Several people looked at each other, as if they could see a greedy desire in each other's eyes.

"No! You can't do this!" Song Yuxin lay on Yaoyuan's body trying to shake him awake, and shouted at them: "You guys are murdering!"

"Xinxin, it's so late, you should go back." Lin Baiyu brushed back the broken hair around her ears, smiling like a kind elder. "You go back late, Teacher Song will be worried."

After finishing speaking, he winked at Ken, who understood, grabbed Song Yuxin's arm and said, "Miss Song, I'll take you home!"

"No! I don't want to go back!" Song Yuxin struggled: "You let me go! Otherwise, I will call the police!"

"Then I'm sorry!"

After finishing speaking, A Ken stretched out his hand and knocked Song Yuxin unconscious, and took her away.

It was they who killed Yao Yuan. In order to prevent others from discovering, they even mutilated his body, took the parts that could be confused with animals and threw them to the stray dogs, and boiled the parts with obvious characteristics in the pot.

The muscles and viscera were quickly boiled and melted, but the bones had been cooked for a long time, and the whole room was filled with a strong smell of meat.

They wiped away the blood left in the house, as if Yao Yuan wasn't dead, just missing.

God does not know, ghosts do not know.

A pair of hands stretched out gently, Lin Tao closed his eyes, he didn't notice at all.

Those hands covered his neck, and then strangled him tightly...

Du Huai'an stood on the chair and carefully wiped the top shelf of the cabinet with the extremely clean white silk. Shao Kuancheng originally wanted to help, but Du Huai'an refused to agree, even when he saw him reaching out to grab the silk. She glared at him and told him not to move, as if she disliked Shao Kuancheng's rough hands and feet, who would break his treasure.

So Shao Kuancheng sat on the chair and watched Du Huai'an wipe the collection with peace of mind. He wondered whether Du Huai'an wanted to hide it or not. Why did he see flaws everywhere?

"The way you look reminds me of someone." Shao Kuancheng said below. "He is the same as you. He probably wipes his treasures at least once a day. He even used his precious bone dagger to commit suicide in the end."

Du Huai'an slipped and missed, Shao Kuancheng rushed over and helped him.

really thin.Shao Kuancheng's first thought came to him, and then his waist was thin enough, as if he could hold it with just one pinch.

Du Huai'an seemed a little embarrassed but embarrassed to admit it, so he gave Shao Kuancheng a look, and reprimanded: "I can't see that you have a perverted habit of telling scary stories at night."

For some reason, Shao Kuancheng felt that his eyes were like the eyes of Widow Li scolding Uncle He before, as if someone was scratching his heart.

In a daze, I forgot that my hand was still on his waist.

Du Huai'an patted his hand away through the silk, turned around and went to the back to wash the silk.

When he came back again, Shao Kuancheng had already sat back on the chair.

"I haven't had the tea you made last time." Shao Kuancheng said, "I always feel it's a pity."

Silently swearing in his stomach that he would put arsenic to drink you to death, Du Huai'an still took out the last Pu'er from the cabinet, boiled water with a water dispenser, and poured it into the teapot.

Yixing's purple sand dragon pot is not considered an antiquity, but it is a revolution in the world's tea culture.

Under Shao Kuancheng's undisguised gaze, Du Huai'an felt that the place he touched just now was slowly heating up, and it seemed to be spreading around.

Inadvertently, hot water poured on his hands, Du Huai'an withdrew his hands abruptly, the purple sand pot fell, tea leaves and hot water splashed out and spilled all over the floor.

Du Huai'an's first reaction was to squat down to clean up the mess on the ground, but Shao Kuancheng pulled him up vigorously, pulled him to the faucet in the courtyard, turned on the water pipe and pulled his hand over.

"You are stupid!" Shao Kuancheng said: "If you are burned, you should flush cold water first! Children know it!"

Du Huai'an whispered, "I'm not a child."

I don't know if it means complaining about how to compare him with children, or how I would know if I am not a child.

But Shao Kuancheng was blocked by his lackluster retort and couldn't utter a word, so he could only say viciously: "Go yourself! I'll buy you scald medicine!"

After speaking, he strode out.

Du Huai'an stared at his back in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, Du Huai'an turned off the tap, dried his hands and came out.

The tea leaves and water were still on the ground, Du Huai'an didn't care, he just picked up the purple sand pot on the ground, looked carefully, it didn't seem to be broken, and then put it away.

When Shao Kuancheng came back, his face was darker than when he left.

He put the scald medicine he bought on the counter and said, "Remember to apply the medicine, I have to leave quickly."

Du Huai'an asked naturally: "What's the rush in the middle of the night?" He didn't feel that it was so strange for him to ask this question.

But Shao Kuancheng slipped his mouth by mistake: "Do you know Lin Tao, a famous antique dealer in T City? He committed suicide at home and strangled himself to death."
