Sourness

Mi Yue bought some fruit on the way, gave Lao Mao a share, and went straight back to Qin's house with the rest.

At this time, Aunt Zhang went out to buy vegetables, and the grandparents of the Qin family hadn't finished get off work yet, so the house was quiet.

Mi Yue put the carvings he bought at "Lao Zhang Ji" on the side coffee table, and went back to the room with her own things.

The window was open, but Xiao Mao and Da Mao were not there, and they didn't know where they went crazy.

Mi Yue put down the fruit, went to the window and looked out.It was also quiet in the yard, but the sound of laughing and joking came from the lake, as if there were a few children playing around.

Mi Yue walked out of the room and walked towards the lake along the path behind the house, but after not walking very far, she saw four or five children chattering around an old banyan tree.

A little farther away, a small black dot fluttered around the old banyan tree, aimed at Miyue, and swooped over like a small cannonball.

"Xiao Mao!" Mi Yue was taken aback by this posture, "Don't be naughty!"

Xiaomao groaned, and flew over Mi Yue's scalp like a gust of whirlwind, whirled in mid-air, flew back again, and landed firmly on Mi Yue's shoulder.

"It's not dark yet," Xiaomao was surprised, "Didn't you say you won't come back until dark?"

"It's nothing, I'll come back early." When Mi Yue mentioned this, she also felt a little disappointed.He thought that Wang Ying and others who got the stolen goods would ask someone for a price anyway.

"No gain?" Xiaomao rubbed his head against Miyue's ear with some regret.

"Harvest" is a word it learned after coming to Binhai.Because the ecological condition of this area is relatively good, every time it sneaks out to play, it is very rewarding.

"Where's Big Mao?"

Xiaomao flapped his wings, "It's hidden."

Miyue has already seen a mass of brown fur flashing through the dense branches and leaves of the old banyan tree by the lake.

It turned out that it was a human cub who was kicked by a monkey and chased up a tree.However, although children are not afraid, adults are a little nervous. After all, it is a monkey that ran out of nowhere, and it is not known if it is still wild.

Seeing that the mothers were all nervous, Miyue called Da Mao back.

Da Mao had already seen Mi Yue from the tree, so he wanted to play hide and seek with him, but the human cubs under the tree were making a fuss, and when he heard Mi Yue calling it, Da Mao jumped down from the tree and ran in three steps and two steps. into Miyue's arms.

The child looked interesting, clapped his hands and laughed.

But Da Mao let out a sigh of relief, patted his chest, with a posture of lingering fear.It has also been mixed in human society, and knows that cubs are very delicate, and they love to cry.If you really want to scare them, don't talk about it, even Mi Yue might be in trouble.

Every time Mi Yue sees Da Mao's terrified expression, she feels very sore in her heart.This little hairy monkey always gave him a subtle sense of contrast when a beggar sees other people's children being held in the arms of their parents very preciously.

Mi Yue didn't know if he was a little overcompensated, but he still felt a little envious and a little ashamed in Da Mao's eyes.

Mi Yue rubbed Da Mao's head, "I bought a lot of fruit."

Da Mao nestled in his comforting embrace, leaning his head on Mi Yue's shoulder very attached.Although it didn't say it out loud, it felt the same as Xiao Mao in its heart, and was very happy that Mi Yue could come back so early.

"Are you tired?" Mi Yue rubbed its ears, "The window is open, why don't you go back and rest when you're tired?"

In fact, Da Mao can also rest on the big tree outdoors, but the outdoor environment is still disturbing after all, unlike a human room, once the door is closed, it will bring a very safe feeling.For a small animal like Da Mao who is used to living in fear, the sense of security is a very important issue.

Da Mao closed his eyes and shook his head, as if saying "no".

Xiao Mao was originally standing on Mi Yue's shoulders, but as soon as Big Mao rushed over, he drove it away.Moreover, Da Mao's two paws were still around Mi Yue's shoulders, leaving Xiao Mao with nowhere to stand, so he could only lie on Mi Yue's head in the end.

Mi Yue estimated that his current appearance was similar to that of a wandering juggler.Fortunately, there are not many people in the community, and there are basically no people around the banyan tree.

"I don't want to go back either." Xiao Mao lay on Mi Yue's head like a nest, her two claws were still grabbing Mi Yue's hair.But it feels very satisfied with itself, this is the most suitable posture for chatting with them.

"Why?" Mi Yue was surprised.He felt that the Qin family was very clean during the day, and that Aunt Zhang would not come to his room when she was fine, and there should be nothing that would disturb the rest of these two furries.

Da Mao whispered, "The old man is so fierce. I'm afraid."

Xiao Mao agreed, "Yes, yes."

Mi Yue was even more surprised, "Are you talking about my uncle? He is very kind."

The two furries fell silent.

Mi Yue thought that he fell asleep when he came back yesterday, and Qin Han had already left when he woke up in the morning.Could it be that the old man got angry during this period, and the two bumped into each other in the end?

"Criticized you two?"

"No, no," Xiao Mao excitedly pulled Mi Yue's hair, almost balding Mi Yue, "He criticized that person very fiercely!"

"When did it happen?" Mi Yue wondered if there was no one in the house anymore, could it be that Qin Zhao was scolded?

Miyue inquired with the two Furies for a long time before she realized that when he was sleeping in the dark last night, Da Mao and Xiao Mao were jumping up and down in the yard and playing for a while, but then they found it boring, so Da Mao crawled to the second floor along the drainpipe of the outer wall. On the balcony upstairs, Xiao Mao also followed.

There are many potted plants on Qin Han's terrace, and there is also a lemon tree that just bears fruit.Although there are no edible fruits, places with dense plants are still very attractive to small animals.

Da Mao moves lightly and quickly, and one can fly, not to mention making no movement, so the two just eavesdropped on the meeting of the grandpa and grandson in the study.

"What did you say?" Mi Yue also felt that this seemed wrong, but for some reason, his heart beat a little faster, and he had a bad premonition that he was about to gain insight into some secret.

The two furries began to rack their brains to recall what they overheard last night.

Xiao Mao insisted on playing the role of grandpa, "Let him go!"

Xiao Mao's memory started with Qin Han's roar.Because I was taken aback at the time, I was deeply impressed.

Da Mao acted aggrievedly as his grandson to cooperate with it, "I don't know how much he knows about the auction house, will he show any flaws?"

Da Mao's memory also started from here, because the word "showing his feet" impressed him deeply.When he lived with his previous owners, he knew that if anything was revealed, it would be bad.

Xiao Mao, "What can he see? A stunned young man who has never been in this industry before, what can he see?"

Da Mao, "Then I'll take him to the auction for a walk, I guess he will give up."

Xiao Mao, "Tell them to keep their mouths tight and don't say what they shouldn't say."

Da Mao, "You just said..."

Xiao Mao, "I'm worried about Lao Lin. Lao Lin attaches great importance to him. If Lao Lin is alarmed, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Da Mao, "I'll treat him well and send him away safely."

"..."

"..."

The two furries have limited memory, and after that they start talking incoherently.The two of them talked for a while in a daze, and Da Mao somehow started to play the role of grandpa.

The roles were reversed, but the two furries hadn't noticed yet.

Mi Yue listened to this funny radio drama, secretly holding back her laughter until her stomach ached.But after he finished laughing, he slowly realized that Qin Han and Qin Zhao didn't seem to welcome him to live here?

In other words, he is not welcome to come to Binhai?

But why?Mi Yue clearly remembered that Lin Qingshan said that Qin Han had taught students all his life, and he liked young people the most.Moreover, Mi Yue still remembers some things from his childhood, Qin Han taught him lessons, and his attitude was very patient.

Mi Yue can be sure that the relationship between Qin Han and Lin Qingshan is still very good.It stands to reason that there is no such thing as Lin Qingshan's students who don't want to see them.

So, what happened to the Qin family?

Mi Yue felt that this should be a guess that was closer to the truth.The Qin family has something to do, but they don't want the guests to know, so they say "send him away safely".

but……

Mi Yue couldn't tell what was wrong, but she just felt uneasy in her heart.

Mi Yue walked for a long time by the lake with the two furries in her arms.

Later, he attributed his uneasiness to accidentally seeing another side of an acquaintance.The not-so-kind side of the gentle elder thought that he would be a welcome guest, but was secretly hoped by the host to leave soon...

These discoveries will inevitably make people feel shocked.

Mi Yue didn't want to make up too much, but he had a faint feeling that there was something hidden in the conversation between the grandparents and grandson, something that he doesn't understand now.

Or his rash visit did cause some inconvenience to the Qin family.

"But I don't plan to leave tomorrow." Mi Yue squeezed Da Mao's paw in distress, "What should I do? Is it appropriate to say that I want to stay in a hotel?"

It doesn't seem appropriate to say suddenly that you want to move out.

Miyue was distressed.

what can we do about it?

The author has something to say:

Sorry for being late today~~

Chapter 22 "The Wind of Four Seasons" He really looks like a young dad who takes his children out

Mi Yue took the birds and beasts for a walk by the lake, and when she encountered taller trees, she released Da Mao and let him climb up and down by himself for a while.

He himself was thinking about the Qin family.

He thought of two possibilities.One is that Mr. Qin thought of some serious consequences from the loss of Xishanqin, and he didn't want the Qin family to get involved in trouble.

Another possibility is that something really happened to the Qin family, and they didn't want outsiders to know, so they rushed to send Mi Yue away.

If this is the case, Qin Zhao may arrange for him to visit the auction house where he works next.After all, when he first arrived at the Qin family, he said that he wanted to inquire about news from the auction house.

However, Mi Yue, who has been wandering around the Ancient Culture Street for two days, is no longer the stunned young man who rushes down the mountain in a flash of enthusiasm. He won't take news from the antique shop for granted, as long as he inquires, he can find something.

In all likelihood, a visit to the auction house yielded nothing.

Wang Ying may be a little eager for quick success, and would have the idea of ​​taking a risk, and would have the courage to send the stolen goods to the auction house with pursuers behind him.But even so, why would the internal information of the auction house be sent to Mi Yue?

What he couldn't find out from the antique shops on the Ancient Culture Street, if it were an auction house, the result would most likely be the same.

Even with Qin Han and Qin Zhao's favor, it might be the same.How can there be any benefit in human affection?

What's more, whether the grandparents of the Qin family really agree with Miyue's position is still unknown.

Mi Yue returned to Qin's house with the birds and beasts, only to find that there were only him and Aunt Zhang at the dinner table.

"Xiao Zhao came back just now," Aunt Zhang explained to Mi Yue apologetically, "He said that he still has important work to do at night, so he won't come back."

"What about Master?"

"Mr. Qin is on a business trip, and it will take about two or three days before he comes back."

Mi Yue suddenly felt that everyone was very busy, and that he came here rashly as a guest, which really disturbed others.

"Oh, that's right," Aunt Zhang said to him nervously, "Xiao Zhao will take you to visit the auction house where he works tomorrow, and he also said that an expert will also be there tomorrow, and he is also an expert from the Antique Association. , what is it called... Well, I have deliberately memorized it several times, but I still forgot it."

Mi Yue couldn't help but laugh.Just now he guessed how Qin Zhao would arrange his itinerary next.

Aunt Zhang was still rambling on about remedies, "Anyway, she is a famous expert..."

Mi Yue was about to explain that she probably wouldn't visit the auction house when her cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Lao Mao calling.

As soon as the phone was answered, the old cat asked him straight to the point, "Will you go to the black market?"

Mi Yue was taken aback, "Today?"

"Tonight." The old cat said, "I just found out about it too."

"Can I go in?" Mi Yue seldom goes into the city, but he also knows some ways inside.Places like underground trading markets are not accessible to just anyone.

The old cat said simply: "I found someone to take us in."

Mi Yue suddenly felt that this favor was too great.

But even if he owes favors, Mi Yue still has to seize this opportunity.Mi Yue asked herself that she still had some understanding of Wang Ying's character. If he was in Binhai now, he wouldn't insist on doing nothing.

He will definitely look for opportunities to test and plan how to get rid of the stolen goods as soon as possible.

Of course, Wang Ying also has accomplices. If the accomplices are more sensible, they can persuade him to wait for the limelight to pass...

Then the possibility of finding something on the black market is still very low.

However, even so, if there is a chance to take this trip, Mi Yue will still seize this opportunity.

Mi Yue went back to her room and slept for a while, but was woken up by the alarm in the middle of the night.He got up and washed his face, took out the mask and hat, put it in a backpack and was ready to go out.

Da Mao also woke up, and circled around him pitifully, reaching out and tugging at the corner of Mi Yue's clothes from time to time.

It was a little bit reluctant that he had to go out again.

Mi Yue thought for a while, "Forget it, let's take you along."

Anyway, it was night, and it was not a particularly serious occasion, so it seemed that there was nothing wrong with bringing pets along.

Thinking of this, Mi Yue casually took off her baseball cap and put it on Da Mao's head.As soon as he went out, he realized that Xiao Mao had crawled out from nowhere and followed him.

Mi Yue felt that he had a taste of "leading the yellow on the left and holding the blue on the right", although his birds and beasts were of a slightly lower grade compared to Mr. Su.

Looking at the round eyes of the little owl, Mi Yue struggled a little before losing the battle.

Forget it, forget it, he advised himself, since it was Heitian, others might not notice it.

Although Mi Yue thought so, when he walked out of the gate of the community and saw the old cat sticking his head out of the car window and looking over in surprise, he was still a little...embarrassed.

"Uh... can't it?" Mi Yue hugged the monkey, and there was a chubby little owl lying on its head.The six eyes looked at the old cat together, and their eyes were all similar.

The old cat couldn't help laughing, "I don't think it matters."

He looked at the backpack Mi Yue was carrying, and felt that he really looked like a young dad who took his children out.Maybe there are some baby bottles and snacks for the pets in the backpack.

Mi Yue hurriedly changed the topic, "Who brought us in? Do you want to show it?"

The old cat shook his head, "I'm done expressing. You don't have to take it to heart."

Mi Yue rubbed the big hairy head twice, and said embarrassingly, "I'm sorry, how about I treat you to dinner?"

"Do you have time?" The old cat thought that based on the state of his shock in the afternoon, he should want to go back to the research institute.

Miyue thought about it, and felt that in order to repay the favour, it is okay to postpone the departure for a day.As for the Qin family...

Mi Yue felt that this was the impression that the grandparents of the Qin family had of him.Leaving one day earlier and one day later, it doesn't seem to make much difference?

The treat is set for tomorrow.

Mi Yue is not familiar with the road conditions in Binhai City, she just thinks that the old cat drives less and less, and the houses on the roadside are getting lower and lower.Seems to be out of town.

Mi Yue traveled to many places with Lin Qingshan, and has also seen ghost markets in various places.Therefore, I was not surprised when I saw a row of luxury cars parked outside the dilapidated factory building in the dark.

People who can touch this kind of place are naturally interested in collecting.How many people who can afford to collect are poor?

The old cat made a phone call, then led Mi Yue through the temporary parking lot, and walked towards the iron gate on one side.

Mi Yue noticed that this should be the side or back door of the factory building, and there was no sign outside the door.The two tall iron gates were locked with thick chains, and a small gate was opened on one side of the gate, allowing only two or three people to pass through.Several men in security uniforms at the door were checking the invitation letters of the guests one by one, and registering the entourage of the guests.

The old cat motioned Miyue to look at a black Mercedes-Benz parked not far away, "Come over and say hello to me later. This man is a junior of my grandpa, and my grandpa just asked him to take us in and open our eyes. He The surname is Qiao, so don’t ask any extra questions.”

Mi Yue nodded, showing that she knew the rules.

Before the old cat approached, the people in the car had already seen them.The car door opened, a middle-aged man got out of the car, and nodded at the old cat from a distance, "Did you come here?"

The old cat greeted him very politely and called him "Uncle Joe".

Mi Yue also followed him to say hello to Mr. Qiao.The little owl didn't know where to fly to play at this time, but the monkey in his arms made Mr. Qiao take a second look.

Mr. Qiao is a middle-aged man with style and well-dressed.In addition to the bodyguards, he also brought two people with him, one was an elderly man with gray hair, his surname was Xie.People around him called him Xie Lao.The other is his daughter Qiao Ying.

Qiao Ying was about the same age as the old cat, and she was a pretty lady from a family. She seemed to be more familiar with the old cat, and when she talked to him, she had a natural intimacy.

Like her father, she regards Mi Yue as a friend who follows the old cat to watch the fun.Except for saying hello to each other at the beginning of the introduction, Miyue was ignored as soon as they turned their heads.

Mi Yue walked at the end with the monkey in her arms, perfectly playing her role as a "transparent person who joins in the fun".He could see that the Qiao family's father and daughter had a very close attitude towards the old cat, which made him wonder who the old cat was.

The palm-eyed Mr. Xie who was following Mr. Qiao paid close attention to Miyue. At first, Miyue thought he was looking at the big hair in her arms, but later realized that he was looking at herself.

Mr. Xie smiled slightly when Miyue looked over in doubt, "I think you look familiar."

The current environment is not the time to look for relatives and reminisce about the old days. Mr. Xie also knows this, so he doesn't say more, but just tells him a few words such as "don't ask for a price if you are not sure", "don't get started easily".

Mi Yue knew these rules, but Mr. Xie had good intentions after all, and being an elder, Mi Yue obediently listened.

The site of the ghost market is in the back warehouse of this factory building.

The warehouse site is empty, and a hundred or so stalls only occupy about two-thirds of the warehouse.The lights were a bit dim, and all the people consciously spoke in a subdued voice, which made Miyue feel that this place was spooky.

Mi Yue's primary goal is to see people.He didn't bother to pay attention to what Mr. Qiao and his group wanted to see, and wandered around the warehouse with Da Mao in his arms.However, after turning around, he found not only no familiar people, but also no familiar parts related to musical instruments.

Antique musical instruments are also a relatively unpopular option in the collection industry.Because the material is not easy to preserve, it is rare to encounter a relatively complete musical instrument on the market.

Mi Yue was mentally prepared for this.

As for Wang Ying...

In fact, Mi Yue was also mentally prepared.

If he was not so happy when he thought of going back to the mountain two days ago, now he no longer has that impetuous anxiety and unwillingness.

All he could do was do it.

Leave the rest to the police.

Mi Yue's heart was relieved, and she felt relaxed, and she began to have the leisure to look at the things on the stall.

Such a place naturally has everything, such as small gadgets such as copper coins, as well as exquisite calligraphy and painting books.Mi Yue even saw two censers with mottled copper stains, and the stall owner introduced them to the guests as "Xuande Stoves" solemnly.

Mi Yue was secretly laughing when she saw Mr. Qiao and his group murmuring around a booth selling calligraphy and paintings not far away.Seeing Mi Yue approaching, Mr. Xie waved at him very kindly, "Little friend Mi, how about this thing?"

Mi Yue walked over and saw that what Mr. Qiao and Mr. Xie were studying, it turned out to be a picture of calligraphy.

The scroll is damaged, and there is still a trace of fire at one corner. Judging from the style of writing, it is quite free and easy.

"The Wind of Four Seasons?" Mi Yue frowned slightly, "This is..."

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with beards. Seeing Miyue approaching, he nodded with a smile, and continued to introduce his treasure to everyone. This business can’t be deceived, right? We are all honest people, and I will tell you the truth. This word is an imitation of the Ming Dynasty. Look here, and there is Mr. Chu Kuo’s small seal..."

Mi Yue stood beside Mr. Xie, looked at the scroll in his hand, and felt a slight tickle in his ears, it turned out that the old cat had come over again.

Mi Yue subconsciously dodged to the side, only to realize that the old cat was asking him quietly, "Who is Mr. Chu Kuo? Is this person famous?"
