Chapter 34: The Buried Painter
There is no suspense.
The first "escape plan" ended with Mr. Hong's complete victory and Chen Yuan's complete defeat.
On the way back to the dark room, Chen Yuan learned that the clothes worn by the two "Xuanhe Gang" brothers who played the kidnappers had already been equipped with positioning equipment.
It seems that Mr. Hong had long expected that he would adopt the trick of "changing his clothes and hiding from the world".
Fighting wits and courage with such an all-knowing and all-powerful guy, Chen Yuan felt a lot of pressure.
The group returned to the dark room, and it was close to midnight.
Mr. Hong left "One-Eyed Hao" in the dark room, responsible for guarding Chen Yuan 24 hours a day, and explained a few words to the guards outside the door, and left with a group of subordinates.
With a bang, the iron door was firmly shut.
Chen Yuan tore off the snatched black coat on his body, threw it on the ground, took off the psionic armor lined inside, returned to the spring bed, and fell down in the quilt, covering his head with the quilt.
"One-eyed Hao" squinted at him, wanting to remind Chen Yuan that he forgot to take off his shoes, but he didn't have the courage to speak.
simply ignored him, walked to the corner of the wall and took a broken straw mat, spread it on the ground at will, lay down upside down, took out the light control from the rag pocket, and pressed it gently.
"Tick. "The lights go out.
The dark room was once again dark.
......
Early the next morning, Chen Yuan opened his eyes and found that the light was on, and he was the only one in the dark room.
He sat up and saw at a glance the iron dinner plate on the folding table.
There are three plates on the plate, one with a few steamed buns, one with sauerkraut, and one with shredded radish.
After going through so many things last night, Chen Yuan's stomach was already rumbling with hunger, so he walked to the folding table and dragged a chair to sit down.
Just as he was about to reach out for the steamed buns, he heard the sound of iron chains and nails outside the iron door.
With a "Karma", the iron door opened.
"One-eyed Hao" walked in with a dinner plate again, put it on the table, pointed to the steamed buns with his fingers, and then pointed to the two bowls of porridge on another plate, and made a "drink" action.
"What do you mean, I don't understand. ”
Chen Yuan glanced at him, didn't look at the two bowls of porridge, and reached out to grab a steamed bun.
"One-eyed Hao" was anxious, thinking that his expression was inaccurate, so he immediately reached out and picked up a bowl of porridge, made a pouring motion, and then looked at Chen Yuan with anticipation.
Chen Yuanli ignored him, took a bite of steamed buns, sandipped a chopsticks of sauerkraut, chewed a few bites and swallowed his stomach, and spit out five words in his mouth: "I still don't understand." ”
"One-Eyed Hao" heard him say this, and jumped to his feet in a hurry, serving the bowl again, and raising his head, and did the action just now several times in a row.
But Chen Yuan still shook his head, just nibbling on steamed buns with side dishes, but he didn't touch the two bowls of porridge.
After a while, a steamed bun fell into his stomach, and Chen Yuan was about to grab the second steamed bun, but he felt that his palm was pinched.
"What,"
Chen Yuanyi raised his head and saw the resentful expression on the face of "One-Eyed Hao", he couldn't hold back the smile in his heart, and said: "Is there anything you can't say, who can understand such abstract performance art." ”
"Woo......"
"One-eyed Hao" was so anxious that he just made a little sound, and suddenly realized something, he immediately let go of Chen Yuan's hand, covered his mouth and stepped aside, looked around with a frightened face, and slapped himself four or five times.
"Okay, okay," Chen Yuan saw that the joke was almost over, picked up a bowl of porridge and drank two sips, and said with a smile: "I teased you just now, who made you keep talking to me." ”
“......”
"One-Eyed Hao" tilted his head, his expression was even more resentful than just now, and he obviously didn't think what had happened just now was anything funny.
It's just that seeing that Chen Yuan was willing to drink porridge, he finally didn't jump up and down like just now.
Timidly walked up to Chen Yuan's side, watching intently as he swept away all the food on the table.
"That's it, it's full. ”
Chen Yuan patted his bulging stomach and gave a thumbs up to "One-Eyed Hao", "You made all the food, it's great." ”
"One-Eyed Hao" scratched his head embarrassedly and grinned at Chen Yuan.
Leaned over to clean up the leftovers, picked up two dinner plates, walked out of the dark room, and after half an hour, folded back again, with an extra pencil and a thick brown book in his hand.
"What's that?" Chen Yuan pointed to the notebook and pencil and asked, "One-Eyed Hao."
"One-Eyed Hao" picked up the pencil, made a "writing" action on the cover of the cowhide book, turned around and walked to the corner, sat on the straw mat, picked up the book, and carefully opened the cover.
Chen Yuan looked at his cautious appearance and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
I didn't expect this rough man with five big and three thick to have such a meticulous side.
Holding that cowhide book in your hand is like treating a priceless fragile object.
Gently grasp the page with her rough fingers, and turn it slowly, looking like a yellow flower girl who twists embroidery needles and weaves brocade on silk cloth.
Chen Yuan's curiosity was aroused, and he quietly came behind the "One-Eyed Hao", looked down at the cowhide notebook, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I'll go, talent!"
I saw a vivid pencil drawing on the clean page.
In the picture, there are mountains, rivers, trees, and villages.
In the village, there are small houses scattered around, and in front of the small houses, a few children are playing and playing.
The painter's brushstrokes are very detailed, and every scenery and character is well outlined, presenting a quiet and pleasant rural scene.
Chen Yuan was stunned and asked "One-Eyed Hao": "This is what you painted?"
"One-Eyed Hao" nodded sheepishly, and the iconic smile appeared on his ugly face again.
"Unexpected...... You're still a painter. Chen Yuan smiled and asked, "Can you borrow me from the painting instinct?"
"One-Eyed Hao" hesitated for a moment and handed the painting book to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan took the painting book, sat on the straw mat, and carefully turned the page as "One-Eyed Hao" did just now.
Start on the first page and go through page by page.
"Haha, these two of your parents, the one in the middle is you when you were a child?"
"Where is this, is this your hometown?"
"Wow, what's this thing with teeth and claws, a monster?"
"I'll go, who is this person, don't tell me it's Mr. Hong......"
In less than ten minutes, Chen Yuan finally finished reading all the pictures, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Talent, talent, a genius painter who has been delayed by servant work." ”
"One-Eyed Hao" took the album and grinned widely.
"Can you draw a picture for me to see?" Chen Yuan didn't enjoy it, and immediately made a request.
"One-Eyed Hao" thought for a moment, nodded, opened the brown notebook, turned to a blank page, picked up the pencil and began to draw.
After painting for more than half an hour, "One-Eyed Hao" stabbed Chen Yuan with his elbow.
Chen Yuan took the album and saw two people painted on the page.
One is tall, which is exactly what "One-Eyed Hao" looks like now, with a simple smile, and the other is shorter, with a bandage on his head and a broom stick in his hand, and the painting is Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan looked at the painting intently, his eyes were heavy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, he spoke: "'One-Eyed Hao', give me this painting and keep it as a souvenir in the future." ”
"One-eyed Hao" didn't say a word, tore off the page from the album, folded it in half, and happily handed it to Chen Yuan.
"Thank you," Chen Yuan put the painting away, patted the shoulder of "One-Eyed Hao", and said with a smile: "When I go out in the future, I must find someone to frame this painting, and when you become famous and make a lot of money in the future, don't forget my brother." ”
"Ahh............h
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan suddenly turned around with a wicked smile on his face, raised his eyebrows and said, "'One-eyed Hao', you finally spoke......"
"Wooh......!" one-eyed Hao wanted to cry without tears, and one jumped up from the straw mat, raised his palm and greeted his face.
In an instant, "pop pop...... Bang bang ......" slap sound resounded in the dark room.
......
In the next few days, Chen Yuan behaved unusually honestly.
During the day, I stayed in the dark room to practice, and when I had nothing to do, I watched "One-Eyed Hao" draw and play boring games to fool "One-Eyed Hao" into speaking.
In the evening, they are taken to the major gambling arenas to gamble with all kinds of warriors.
After a few days of cultivation, his "Five Fowl Opera" has improved a few points compared to before, his physical fitness is more outstanding, and his ability to attract and absorb spiritual energy has also improved a lot.
The "Xuanling Luck Sutra" has also been practiced to the "Xiaocheng" stage, although he is not in school, and he cannot test the specific value of "spiritual power use", but he can still clearly feel that all functions are rising.
At the same time, after more than ten gambling battles in the past few nights, his practical combat skills have reached a new level, even if he does not use the "Dog Stick Method", he can easily win with moves such as "Luohan Boxing" and "Mighty King Kong Palm".
In just one week, Chen Yuan has made a great name in the underground boxing ring in Blackwood Town, sweeping the G-class invincible opponents, and Carry's bounty has also multiplied several times.
It's just that he has never cared about the huge bounty in Kari.
Chen Yuan is very sober, and this string of good-looking numbers is nothing more than a means used by Mr. Hong to envelop himself.
His life and death are always in the hands of the other party, and as long as the other party is willing, he can turn the number in the card into zero at any time.
Even his life is not his own, let alone money?
What he can do at the moment is to cooperate, cooperate, and cooperate again, wait for the time to come, and then start the next "escape plan".
Unconsciously, the time has come to June 3rd, and there are only three days left before the start of the college entrance examination.
Although Chen Yuan was very anxious in his heart, he still did not wait for a suitable opportunity to escape.
On the evening of June 3, Chen Yuan had dinner, sat cross-legged on the straw mat, and watched the "One-Eyed Hao" draw.
The painting is of a young girl, eight or nine years old, tied with two pigtails, wearing a dress, with a sweet smile, very cute.
"One-Eyed Hao" was drawing, and there was a smirk on his face.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan asked on the side: "What are you laughing at, this person is your little lover?"
"One-Eyed Hao" shook his head, still smirking.
"Not a lover...... Chen Yuan said, "Could it be your sister?"
"One-eyed Hao" nodded violently, glared at Chen Yuan, and showed admiration on his face.
"It's so cute...... Chen Yuan said, "If only I had such a cute sister." ”
His eyes darkened, and he said: "Then again, I've been missing for so many days, and I don't know what happened to my parents, as well as Principal Xu, Teacher Han, Fatty, Huo Shao, and Senior Sister Ning Xi, I'm afraid I'm already crazy." ”
"One-Eyed Hao" patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and remained silent.
"Where is your sister now, in your hometown?" asked Chen Yuan.
"One-Eyed Hao" let out a rare sigh, his expression extremely gloomy, obviously not wanting to answer this question.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan knew that he had accidentally touched the sad matter of "One-Eyed Hao", and he didn't ask anymore.
Just when the two were silent, they only heard the door "Karma" being pushed open, and "Leper Zhang" walked in with a group of subordinates swaggering, screaming: "Chen Yuan, at 10 o'clock in the evening, No. 12 gambling arena, did you hear it?!"
