Cartoonist's Dream

Chapter 145: Temporary Residence

The address of Old Man Lou from the Artist Association is No. 23, Laolao Hutong, Jingshan East Street.

At No. 21 at the entrance of the alley is a small building with the name "Haitai Publishing House". Presumably it is a well-known "Guan" publishing house that publishes cultural magazines to promote cross-strait relations.

Fortunately, [Haitai Publishing House] is actually all thanks to the driver——

Damn, drive around Zhongnanhai from Tiananmen Square, drive to Beihai, and then drive east back to the entrance of Laolaohutong! ! !

I don't know whether it was on purpose or not, the driver drove the car around half a circle, turned around the avenue of Jingshan Park, and then made a detour to the entrance of the alley of the publishing house.In his heart, Li Mu didn't want to cause trouble, but in principle, he still discussed with the driver, and finally handed over the suitable price to the driver. [

——Traveling tourists’ gas money in the capital is simply ruining the image of the capital!Even though he just circled the Forbidden City...

Li Mu turned his head after paying the money, suddenly, a black line appeared on his entire amount.

Isa was standing at the crossroads.Taking advantage of the payment time, he put a few scars on his face, and put on a black one-eyed eye mask that he got from nowhere.

"........."

After being silent for a while, Li Mu wiped his forehead lightly, shaking off a wad of black thread casually.

——I told you not to dress up beautifully, but I didn't tell you to dress up as a gangster.

"...Isabel, this is China. We are here to stay overnight. Can we wear this outfit when we have nothing to eat and go to Somalia?"

"..."

Hearing this, Isabel tore off the scar silently, took off the blindfold, folded it, and put it back in the backpack solemnly.

——My God, do you still want to go to Somalia to be a pirate?

Li Mu wondered if Isabel's backpack was full of similar strange items.Compared with her exaggerated equipment of two large suitcases and a large backpack, the white-haired "woman" humanoid girl can be said to travel lightly, and came to bj with only a light travel bag on her back.

"One for each of us—" Li Mu patted the big and bulging suitcase, grabbed a handle and dragged it into the alley, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"

I was already dressed like a ball, and my hands and feet were bound when I walked, and it was really tiring to add this box of things.

"..."

Isabel pretended not to see it, and went straight to grab the handle of the other suitcase, and followed Li Mu with a half-slouched body... She actually looked more tired than Li Mu looked.

If it was an ordinary bodyguard or escort, she would definitely snatch Limu's suitcase, and pull a suitcase in each of her left and right hands to make the master more relaxed.However, as a mercenary, Isabel only knew how to obey orders—one person at a time, and she had to spare her hands to deal with emergencies that might arise at any time.

"..."

"—huha—huha—huha—" Passing through two courtyards and arriving in front of door No. 23, Li Mu was already out of breath, "Knock...knock the door—"

"..."[

"Don't--don't knock--ring the bell."

Seeing that she was going to knock on the door, Li Mu hurriedly directed her.

The sound of knocking at the door of Lu's courtyard is scary. Ringing the doorbell is more warm during the Spring Festival. It's better not to be too casual when you are a first-timer.

The gate of Mr. Lou's courtyard is a dark red painted original wooden door, probably due to the large number of people coming and going during the Spring Festival. The door is always open, and visitors can walk in and out of it with their heads held high.But Li Mu is new here, it is not good to rush into someone's house rashly, even if it might bother the owner of the house, he should ring the doorbell first.

If the people in the yard really can't get away, it is the right way to wait until no one comes to welcome them before entering by themselves.

After ringing the doorbell on the wall, Li Mu and his wife waited outside the courtyard gate.

There is something like a wall erected two meters inside the gate of the courtyard.The reason why it is not a wall is because it is an isolated side, more like a Japanese screen, and it is probably a building that blocks passers-by from peeking inside the door. There are tiles on the "wall" to block the wind and rain for the stone wall. In the middle of the stone wall are engraved patterns of the sun and the moon rising, and a green dragon soaring into the sky.

Not long after waiting, there was the sound of running behind the stone wall, and a person appeared on the left after a while.It is a middle-aged woman, her face is big and round like a dough cake, which is probably rare among northerners.No matter who she is, Li Mu first introduced herself:

"Hello, I am……"

Before Li Mu started to introduce, the woman with reddish cheeks held her breath and shouted loudly into the courtyard

"My lord! We're here!"

Hey, Auntie, are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?

Li Mu is suspicious.I'm a stranger, isn't it a bit arbitrary to make a conclusion after just seeing each other for the first time?

"Are you here? Are you here?"

There was a response from the courtyard, and each word became louder, obviously moving quickly in this direction.

"Around ten years old, with luggage, exactly as the master said." The woman said happily, "You don't know how many days the master has been looking forward to you."

"Come on, really come?!"

After a few words, I saw a 76-year-old man walking like flying, swishing around the stone wall to the door, squatting down and hugging Li Mu's shoulder, looking left and right.

I said old man, are you a monkey?

Seeing his excitement, Li Mu couldn't help but complain.

"Mr. Lou?" He asked suspiciously.

To be honest, he had never seen what the president of the art association looked like before he came here, not to mention the title with the word "former", which was harder to find than the photo of the current art dean. [

"Ai ai!" Old man Lou said repeatedly.Then he said to the two middle-aged men who came behind him: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and help the uncle move things!"

"Master? Me?" Li Mu pointed to herself.

It seems that the person in front of him is really President Lou Xu, but it was agreed that he was only here for a temporary stay.

Li Mu was hesitating how to defend, and the two middle-aged men obediently helped him pull the two suitcases into the yard, without any hesitation, they must have heard of him as a little uncle before coming here.

"Surely this is the 'neighbor' who accompanied you to the bj?" Old man Lou was a little surprised by the appearance of this "neighbor" Isabel.

"She's actually my bodyguard. I had an accident a few months ago, and it's been resolved now." Li Mu heard the subtext, and didn't intend to hide this kind of thing from the old man, and said to the point.

"Oh, who is this?"

Huh?

Seeing old man Lou looking at her side, Li Mu reflexively looked to the side of his shoulder.

Two heads taller than him, the beautiful girl Wu Jun Muzi with long hair draped over her shoulders, stood beside Li Mu at some point.With his face flushed, he lowered his head and secretly raised his eyes to look at Limu.

"I'm Li Mu's wife, Mei Niang." She introduced it like this.

"Your wife?" Old Man Lou looked at Li Mu with a strange expression on his face.

"Hey, that..." A tuft of hair on the pear wood swayed with the cold wind.With Daimao's help, his thinking did not stagnate, but he still said hesitantly, "...Ah, it's Mei Niang, she came with me, and her fiancée is just a joke."

"Young man, it's so heartless..." After Muzi smiled, he suddenly looked at Li Mu with a resentful expression, and the latter looked at his white bodyguard.

#Isabel, why didn't you stop her!

#Do not do anything if your life is not in danger.you said.

#Okay... well, if you find out that you are being followed, you should always remind yourself!Started in the village?Or did it start from the Capital Airport?Our home phone has not been tapped.

#Forget it, let’s live with us.But don't make weird moves with your hands and feet, if you dare to come over, Isabel will tear you down.

#… If you are a teenager, I will not resist if you come to dismantle it at night.

#I! ¥%…………*&How did you know I was coming for the exam?

#I know everything about teenagers.

#Aren’t you called Wujun Muzi?Why is it called Mei Niang?

#The name is just a surname, it is the same as the parents' surname...

Seeing the three juniors staring at each other, Old Man Lou couldn't help laughing on his back: "Hahaha, it's really interesting, you guys, come in quickly, don't get cold outside."
