Ning manxuan stared at the pattern on the cloth for a while, then rolled her up and said to Li Qing and Lin Qiuqiu, "once I find something, I'll call you."

"HMM." he gently clicked his chin. Lin Qiuqiu reached out and pointed to Li Qing. "He still has a pair on his back."

"Hmm?" Ning manxuan was slightly stunned. "Show me, is it still a map?"

Li Qing turned around and exposed her back to the eyes of the two beautiful women. She felt as if she were in an exhibition. She was quite uncomfortable.

"This..." Ning manxuan gently put her hand on Li Qing's back and hesitated. "It doesn't seem to be the same as the one in front of her."

Lin Qiuqiu also leaned over and shouted carefully, "I feel like a totem."

"Human face and snake body," Li Qing said. Up to now, he also found a clue.

Ning manxuan took a breath, his eyes were confused, and slowly shook his head: "if you don't say it, I really can't see it. This pattern is a little too abstract. Generally speaking, any national or regional totem won't be so disorganized. I think there should be some important information hidden."

Standing up, Ning manxuan went over and took out the camera from the drawer of her desk: "first keep the pattern. I know several senior sisters who specialize in this field. Go back and ask them."

Li Qing and Lin Qiuqiu both came to find Ning manxuan for help. Naturally, they had no objection. They took some photos with her.

When the business was finished, Li Qing was relieved and put on his shirt again.

The three people sat on the sofa and chatted for a while, during which they also discussed the two patterns.

"I'm sure I can recover this architectural composition." Ning manxuan talked about her strengths. Naturally, she was full of confidence and looked at Li Qing and Lin Qiuqiu with a smile. "Isn't this a treasure map?"

Li Qing smiled and couldn't help shrugging her shoulders.

"Don't be so careless. Maybe it's really possible," Ning manxuan joked. "If you don't believe it, when I recover the drawing, I can go to dig for treasure by myself?"

Lin Qiuqiu covered her mouth and smiled: "maybe you can dig up a boyfriend."

Ning manxuan naturally rolled her eyes and asked seriously, "do you have any plans?"

Li Qing shook his head: "not yet. Now I'm confused. I don't dare to act rashly when I can't grasp most of the situation."

Three people sitting here empty, it is obviously difficult to discuss some valuable information. Ning manxuan looked at the time and said, "why don't we go out for dinner?"

"OK." Lin Qiuqiu nodded and agreed. Li Qing wanted to meet their two old classmates. Naturally, she had a lot to say. It was inconvenient to follow her, so she took the initiative to say, "I have something to deal with. You two go."

With that, Li Qing reached out and compared a phone gesture and said to Lin Qiuqiu, "enough fun. Remember to call me and pick you up."

"HMM." Lin Qiuqiu smiled on her cheek and gently nodded her chin.

"Then I'll go first." Li Qing waved to Ning manxuan, exchanged eyes with Lin Qiuqiu, then turned to open the door of the office and went out.

Seeing Li Qing leave, Ning manxuan's gossip mind came up again, gathered together with Lin Qiuqiu and hit her shoulder: "Qiuqiu, tell me the truth, he's really not your boyfriend?"

The big black and white eyes turned. Lin Qiuqiu nodded seriously: "of course not."

"Then how do I feel that between you two... It's very interesting?"

"Do you have?" Lin Qiuqiu smiled and asked.

Glancing at Lin Qiuqiu, Ning manxuan supported her chin with two jade hands: "that's why you're interested in him."

Lin Qiuqiu was poked by her friend. Her pretty cheeks flushed slightly. She smiled shyly and pushed Ning manxuan: "what are you talking about?"

Ning manxuan put her little head on Lin Qiuqiu's shoulder, puffed her pink cheeks and said slowly, "it seems that I guessed right. So, you two are still in an ambiguous period?"

"I won't tell you." Lin Qiuqiu couldn't resist Ning manxuan's indiscriminate bombing. He stood up with his satchel. "I'm hungry. You gossip so much every day and consume more energy. Don't go to eat with me."

"Wait for me for a moment." Ning manxuan rubbed her hair and carried her bag. One by one, they left the studio.

The night had come down gradually. Li Qing put her hands in her pockets and paced slowly along the sidewalk. The neon lights on all sides are shining one after another, but people can't feel the slightest warmth. Even though it is midsummer, the night of Mingtai is still cold.

Lowering his head, Li Qing was completely immersed in his mind. Although he returned to his hometown after a long time, he was familiar with Mingtai. Even if he was lost, he was not afraid. A taxi could take him anywhere he wanted to reach.

I don't know how long I've been walking like this. I just feel that more and more people around me are getting up, and the aroma of wine and vegetables is also coming to my face. Li Qing raises her head. Then she finds that she has unknowingly reached the famous snack street in Mingtai, surrounded by open-air stalls with night lights.

The sanitation of this place is ignored for the time being, but the food is very delicious. Li Qing was never a very particular person. In addition, he didn't eat at night. At this time, he felt a little hungry. He simply sat down at a large stall on the street, asked for some famous local snacks and two bottles of beer in Mingtai, and ate with relish.

Although this snack street is narrow, there are a lot of people. There are people playing erhu in their ears. It has a unique style.

Li Qing doesn't know much about music, especially erhu, a musical instrument commonly used by Jianghu artists. However, he could still hear something from the music, and a sense of sympathy came into his heart.

After taking a sip of beer from the bottle, Li Qing raised her head and scanned the street. Because there were too many pedestrians, her sight was blocked and she couldn't see the erhu player at all.

Li Qing looked at it casually. Even if he couldn't see it, he shook his head and lowered his head to continue eating.

When the first bottle of beer was drunk, there was a sudden bustle in the oblique rear, as if someone had argued.

Li Qing looked in that direction curiously. He didn't know why.

The boss of the stall brought up the last dish. Seeing that Li Qing seemed quite curious about the later things, he sighed and said, "it's no surprise. Those gangsters are robbing the disabled money again."

"What do you mean?" Li Qing raised her eyelids and asked puzzled.

Seeing that there were no guests for the time being, the boss looked out, hummed softly, turned his head and said to Li Qing, "there are seven or eight gangsters in this street, all of whom are young people in their twenties. They dropped out of high school before they finished high school. They idled around all day and collected protection fees everywhere."

Li Qing took a sip of beer and said, "nobody cares?"

"Hehe, you're a young man. How do you manage this? Collect a protection fee of 180 yuan. If you catch it, you'll have to squat for two days. Once it's released, you'll have to make trouble. If you let them toss about like this, will we still do business? It's better to spend a little money and send it away. Especially the boy who takes the lead in this gang is Douzi, and his relatives are still in the family This local police station has a hard relationship. "

Li Qing nodded. This kind of thing is common in China, and there is really no better solution. The purpose of doing business is to make money with harmony. Who will be upset about the protection fee of dozens of dollars.

"What's the matter with the disability you said?" Li Qing continued.

The boss stretched out his hand and slapped in his ear. Li Qing thought he was driving mosquitoes. Who knows, the boss turned and said, "can't hear the movement of Erhu? The voice just came from the disabled. You can hear his level. I don't need to comment more."

His eyes flickered slightly, and Li Qing nodded, "very good."

"Hey, hey, it's not only very good. I've lived most of my life and haven't heard anything better than this. I can't make this noise without going through the wind and frost for most of my life. The disabled came here a few months ago. I don't know where he came from. He sleeps in the stone bridge cave in front of the street every day and comes out to play erhu for a while at night to earn money for dinner." the boss sighed, "Those bastards, seeing that the disabled have good skills and earn a lot, come to rob money every day. If they are in a good mood, they will leave him ten or eight yuan. If they are in a bad mood, they will rob all of them. As a result, he can't even eat. They have to rely on the neighborhood for relief."

"Young couples who visit the night market here often can't see it. If they want to help out, they often make trouble there. There must be more than ten times a month."

"Where on earth is he disabled?" Li Qing asked curiously.

The boss rolled up his sleeve and motioned at Li Qing on his wrist. It seemed that he deliberately made a terrible expression: "from here, Qi Qi's broken. He doesn't like to talk, but we estimate that he should have been cut off and thrown out of the underground casino."

Li Qing was stunned: "can one hand play the erhu?"

"This is the level of others." the boss said with an unfathomable voice, as if with a little disdain for Li Qing's failure to see the world.

"Oh." Li Qing nodded repeatedly.

"Boss, two more kidneys, a bowl of big meat noodles and three dozen beers!" a greeting from the diners sounded around.

"Hey." the boss answered and waved to Li Qing, "I'll go first. You can eat slowly and talk later."
