Chapter 335 No shortage of hungry soldiers
There were four people in total, all gathered around. Qiu Huoming reached out and pulled up the leader of the gangsters who was sitting there. He said to Tang Xiaotang, "Sit down."
The other party couldn't hold back his expression. When he looked up, he saw Qiu Huoming's tall stature and felt intimidated. He changed his words and said, "Brother, she hit me, I didn't do it..."
Qiu Huoming thought so too and stretched out his hand to push him away, "Then let it be, you said something rude, she kicked you, it's a tie..."
One of his four men spoke up, "Dongzi, is this the end?"
Dongzi glanced at Gu Xiaoran and Tang Xiaotang who were sitting in their seats, and surprise flashed in his eyes again.
"A good man doesn't fight with a woman. Let's go, let's go." He looked calm and composed.
A few people squeezed to the back, and soon, a few people gave up their seats.
Qiu Huoming leaned against Tang Xiaotang's seat, and only felt relieved when he saw that they had all left.
He didn't leave either, but reached out to grab the handrail and stayed where he was.
The four Dongzi people huddled together, leaning forward and whispering.
Tang Xiaotang turned her head and took a look. She curled her lips and said, "I've seen a lot of little hooligans like this. You guys just wait. When we get off the bus, they will definitely get off as well..."
"You've encountered this before. How did you solve it?" Gu Xiaoran asked sympathetically.
"Of course, if things get bad, you can't hold it in. The more you hold it in, the more likely it is to get into trouble..." She said with a smile: "Once, I met a soldier who stood up for me. There are more good people than bad people in this world."
This girl must have suffered a lot in her early years, but her values have not been distorted, which is really rare.
Gu Xiaoran stretched out his hand and hooked her elbow, "You helped me just now, are you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of? You still have your brother Huozi!" Tang Xiaotang turned her head and looked at Qiu Huoming with a smile.
Qiu Huoming straightened his back and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me..."
Gu Xiaoran smiled and said, "Then I'll rely on you..."
When they arrived at the station, the three people just got off the bus, and as expected, the five people followed closely behind them.
There were not many people at this station in the afternoon. Dongzi greeted them with a smile, "I don't mean any harm, I just want to get to know you all..."
He shook his slicked-back hair and put on a cool look.
"Haven't you been to the bathhouse for a long time?" Qiu Huoming suddenly asked.
Dongzi was stunned. He nodded subconsciously, and then he felt insulted. "You are making fun of me, kid. I let you go just now in the car. Why are you still so arrogant after getting off the car?"
He walked closer and stretched out his hand to push Qiu Huoming, but Qiu Huoming did not move at all.
Before he could react, the four younger brothers behind him thought that the boss had given an order, and they immediately rushed over and surrounded Qiu Huoming.
One of them was impatient and started hitting with his fist.
Qiu Huoming gently moved aside and got behind Dongzi, then with his hand, blocked him in front of him.
Several people were in a mess. Qiu Huoming didn't care about this unorganized fight at all. It was lucky that these people didn't bring any weapons, which saved him a lot of worry.
Tang Xiaotang kicked them a few times from time to time, and Gu Xiaoran picked up stones and shot arrows at them. The two of them had no idea that they were fighting and just made a mess.
After knocking them all down, Qiu Huoming squatted on the ground and said, "It's a good thing you didn't hit women, otherwise I wouldn't have knocked you down..."
The joint defense personnel nearby finally arrived late. Dongzi got up with a groan, turned around and started to complain.
This is a gang fight. Since the victim wants to pursue the matter, we have to go to the police station to discuss it properly...
Qiu Huoming looked at this familiar-looking joint defense member and tried to ask, "Is Captain Fang okay?"
This joint defense team member was clearly one of the group of people who followed Fang to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to arrest him yesterday.
Qiu Huoming has a good memory and can remember something after seeing it once.
The man shuddered and recognized Qiu Huoming. He made a prompt decision, "They are hooligans, right?"
Qiu Huoming nodded, "Yes, he acted like a hooligan in public, and I stopped him."
"Alright, leave it to me, Comrade Qiu. Go and do your business first. When the result comes out, I'll come back and tell you..."
This guy is quite straightforward.
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Thank you."
The three of them walked towards the museum.
Behind him was the sound of Dongzi and his gang arguing, which gradually faded away.
After they left for a while, Qiu Huoming said with a click of his tongue: "No wonder men all like power..."
Gu Xiaoran sighed: "That's right, just like my dad..."
Only Tang Xiaotang patted Qiu Huoming, "Don't get addicted. It's not yours. Sooner or later, someone will take it away..."
This girl is really clear-headed.
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I can do and what I can't do. These are external things that can only be used temporarily. In the end, I have to rely on my own real ability."
Just like the guy just now, there is a high probability that he was implicated and sent to serve as a joint defense member.
"Hey, Huozi, you have been thinking very deeply recently. You are like a completely different person..." Gu Xiaoran praised from the side.
As they were chatting and laughing, they had already reached the door.
The gatekeeper recognized them and said, "Come and find the curator. He's inside..."
Tang Xiaotang greeted him and walked quickly inside.
Before I had walked far, I heard the voice of Director Fu.
"You two are too unkind. The other person didn't provoke you, but you reported him..."
"If anything happens to him, I will never forgive you..."
Then came the voice of the father surnamed Xu, "Just to scare him, not really to do anything to him..."
"You sound nice, but what happened yesterday!" Director Fu said in a voice that was a little bit frustrated. "Go away, you are not welcome here anymore..."
To some extent, Qiu Huoming was a timely help.
As soon as these words were spoken, the other people in the museum became excited.
Everyone started cursing at once, and the Xu family father and son were so embarrassed that they couldn't hold back their pride.
"Okay, I understand you're angry, let's go first and come back another day..."
This man was quite shameless. He walked out while talking.
I just happened to meet Qiu Huoming.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Hey, my little comrade is here, you are alright!"
Qiu Huoming sneered: "Oh, then there must be something wrong?"
Seeing that Mr. Xu was old, Gu Xiaoran was so angry that he kicked his son behind him, "You two little guys..."
The two did not fight back. Xiao Xu was embarrassed and said, "I really didn't go..."
Old Xu laughed and said, "My son really doesn't know. It's me. It's all my fault. I know you are angry. I won't talk about it today. I will come to apologize another day..."
After saying that, he quickly pulled his son out.
Qiu Huoming reached out and pulled Gu Xiaoran who wanted to chase out.
This sister is usually gentle and protective. Gu Xiaoran turned around and said angrily, "It almost happened, and you just let them go..."
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "There are still some twists and turns here. His incident was just a fuse. There's no point in arguing with them..."
"It's only valuable when dealing with the real owner..." Qiu Huoming moved closer to her, "Thank you, Miss Gu."
Gu Xiaoran's ears turned red, and he turned his head away from him, "Okay, I know you can handle it, I'm just a dog trying to catch a rat..."
Tang Xiaotang looked at her thoughtfully, then reached out and touched her short hair, "Gu Xiaogou..."
"you……"
"Pfft"
With these three people doing this, the tense atmosphere just now disappeared instantly.
"Xiao Qiu, you are here, come in and sit down..." Director Fu finally showed up, "Everyone, please disperse..."
The few librarians who were watching then dispersed.
Several people entered the director's office, and Tang Xiaotang turned her head away from Director Fu.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Xiaotang, you kid..."
Qiu Huoming pulled the strap of Tang Xiaotang's backpack and said, "Forget it. I don't care about it. The curator didn't do anything. The main thing is that the guy named Xu is too unkind..."
Director Fu immediately responded, "That's right. Don't let them in next time. Go back and say hello to the gatekeeper..."
He looked at Tang Xiaotang and said, "This is the kind of person I hate the most in my life. Don't you understand me?"
As soon as he said this, Tang Xiaotang glanced at him and said, "Well, I get it. I'm not ignoring you. Just let me take my time."
Director Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Xiaotang is a stubborn child. When Old Tang left, he took a few good friends with him and almost left them to his care. He has tried his best to take care of Tang Xiaotang along the way. If she ignores him, and Old Tang may come back one day in the future, he will be guilty of him.
But with such a long time span, there is a high probability that Old Tang will be in danger.
Thinking of this, he felt even more upset, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes as he looked at Tang Xiaotang.
Qiu Huoming didn't know that Director Fu had been thinking so much at this moment. When he saw that Tang Xiaotang had stopped making trouble, he said, "Director, I think we should send the calligraphy and paintings in stock to the warehouse in the next two days..."
"Oh, your uncle found the warehouse?" Director Fu touched his chin, "Your uncle is really fast..."
"Do you want us to deliver it, or do you want someone to take over?" Director Fu asked as he took out the copied list from the drawer.
"It will take a day. Once everything is counted and there are no problems, we can sign and it can be shipped away."
There are a lot of calligraphy and paintings. Although they have been organized into categories, it still takes time to sort through the tens of thousands of volumes...
Tang Xiaotang and Gu Xiaoran said almost in unison, "Let me help..."
Qiu Huoming raised the corner of his mouth, "I couldn't ask for more..."
If the three of them work together, they will be much faster. Director Fu and his team are the sellers, so they naturally cannot help to avoid suspicion.
"Then let's start now." Director Fu stood up. "There are a lot of things. We have counted them and put them separately. I'll give you the key. Keep it safe..."
Qiu Huoming nodded, "Okay, let's start now."
Gu Xiaoran touched his stomach and said, "Huozi, no wonder you invited me to lunch at noon... You are the emperor who has no shortage of hungry soldiers..."
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Dinner is mine too. I'll give you a gift later..."
"I'll give each of you a gift..." Qiu Huoming saw Tang Xiaotang turning to look at him, and quickly added.
"That's great, I'll work harder..." Gu Xiaoran smiled with curved eyebrows.
The three of them followed Director Fu to the warehouse.
Because the paintings and calligraphy are placed here, the place has been kept dry, and anything that can be sold is not an antique for them. It belongs to contemporary painters and they have not crossed the red line.
The real old ones are treasures, and they won’t be sold even if someone wants to buy them.
The calligraphy and paintings of Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian and others were not yet popular at the moment, and these works were dispensable in the museum.
After all, there are so many good things over thousands of years.
Qiu Huoming was filled with emotion and started to tidy up things while bending over.
Several people separated and each claimed a locker.
These are contemporary works. When you open the cabinet, there is no smell of age. After tidying them up, they look pretty good.
The afternoon passed by little by little...
Until the lights come on.
It took a few people to realize that so much time had passed.
Tang Xiaotang pounded her waist, "It's really not easy to get a free meal..."
Gu Xiaoran looked around at the items that the three people had cleared out, "It's quite a sense of accomplishment. Huozi, take a look, how much is left to be counted?"
Qiu Huoming held the list and said with a smile: "There is only one cabinet left."
“Then let’s do it in one go…” Gu Xiaoran rubbed his waist and walked over.
Tang Xiaotang sat down on the spot with a plop. "Okay, let me relax for a while. I have a long waist and get tired easily..."
"You take a rest, I can do it..." Gu Xiaoran sharpened his knife, full of murderous intent.
Qiu Huoming quickly followed, "Why don't you take a rest too, I can do it alone."
Qiu Huoming said as he looked at her somewhat tired eyes.
"Don't waste time, finish the work quickly." Gu Xiaoran waved her hand and opened the cabinet door.
Qiu Huoming responded and said that he was responsible for the top part of the cabinet, while Gu Xiaoran was responsible for the bottom part.
The two of them divided the work and got busy at a leisurely pace...
Half an hour later, several people sat on the ground.
Everything has been counted and matches the total quantity on the list.
You can’t read the details, and the list is divided into major categories.
"Let's go." Qiu Huoming pushed hard and got up from the ground.
He reached out and pulled Gu Xiaoran and Tang Xiaotang up together.
"Lock the warehouse, and then we'll go eat..."
"Let's eat something simple, let's go to a firewood wonton shop run by someone from Anhui Province..."
Tang Xiaotang suggested.
"Second." Gu Xiaoran thought of the wontons he had eaten on West Street when he was in middle school. The fragrance seemed to linger in his nose again.
"It saves me money." Qiu Huoming turned around and locked the door of the warehouse. He felt a lot more relaxed after completing such a huge inventory project today.
He put away the key and glanced at the two girls beside him with some gratitude.
"Thank you. Without you, I really don't know how long I would be busy."
The museum was very quiet; most people had gone home from get off work.
Only the person on duty was left, who checked with them and let them go.
Director Fu is not in the office, probably he has gone off work.
Several people went out and walked along the road to the gate of a primary school.
The school gate was surprisingly lively at night, with stalls everywhere. Not far away there was a storefront decorated with shabby household door panels. A stove was placed on the side of the street, with smoke curling around.
I could smell the fragrance from a long distance away.
Tang Xiaotang pointed at that place and said with a smile: "We're here. I'm so hungry..."
"Eat as much as you want..." Qiu Huoming said guiltily.
A few people walked through the crowd in the night and headed quickly towards the firewood wonton shop.
The night breeze was blowing, and everything around me couldn't compete with the fragrance not far away...
Qiu Huoming tightened the strap of his backpack, looked around, and a smile appeared on his face.
Being in a foreign land, having friends by your side, is there anything better than this...
