Chapter 3: The Sea, the Old Man and the Painting

Running the holiday home is a husband and wife with a daughter. The name of the male host of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is Lu Hai, and the name of the hostess is Luo Aiyu.

As for her daughter's name, Lu Yiyun has just finished the college entrance examination, and now she is helping in the holiday house run by her family during the summer vacation.

The man is in charge of the food side of things and is actually the chef. As for the hostess and daughter, it is in charge of entertaining the guests.

There is also an employee, an aunt in her forties, who is in charge of chores.

It's not a big vacation home - although there are large resorts nearby, this one seems to be in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by isolated sea and cliffs.

It's a small family workshop-style holiday home. The house that served as a store was supposed to have been remodeled from a former dwelling, and then three three-story houses were sparsely built in the back to serve as guest rooms. There is a small yard in between, which is fairly clean.

The light salty sea breeze swept in the yard, bringing the smell of the blue star flowers planted in the small yard.

A little bit of the courtyard covered with blue star flowers, green and blue folded interspersed, like the sea.

"The room here can directly see the sea, are you satisfied?" The proprietress Luo Aiyu led Luo Qiu and his party to the place where they were staying.

Quite welcoming.

As for the boss Lu Hai, he is a little colder, but he also maintains the most basic politeness. Listening to Lizi, this time, from inviting people to negotiating, it was all done by the proprietress single-handedly.

"I'll go get some food ready, you talk. Lu Hai didn't seem to want to stay longer, so he walked out of the room.

Seeing this, Luo Aiyu squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't mind, this guy's personality is like this." However, the food he cooks is delicious, and this neighborhood is a must. ”

When passing through a nearby village, Luo Qiu once saw a memorial arch with the words 'Lujia Village' written on it. The proprietress is surnamed Luo, and she wants to marry here.

The house is located far away from the resort, and the environment is not particularly good. As for the so-called being able to see the sea, in fact, some of them are blocked by the cliffs in front of them.

If there's one thing about it, it's pretty quiet.

"Evian, you greet a few guests here, and I'll make some tea. ”

The little girl nodded obediently. She has lived here since she was a child, and her school is also in the nearest town, and she usually comes back to the house to help when she has a room, and she rarely has contact with big cities, let alone people in big cities.

The people she met were all from several nearby towns, and most of them were middle-aged and elderly. Young people generally don't choose this place...... Because there is no entertainment measure.

But there are a few such beautiful people at once.

The little girl couldn't help but feel a little restrained.

Ren Ziling's mind was not really writing for this place, but as a professional, she would never be ambiguous in this regard. Thinking about finishing the work as soon as possible, and then continuing to beat the little abacus in his heart, Ren Deputy Editor-in-Chief simply grabbed the little girl and began to ask questions.

"Are there a lot of guests here?"

Lu Yiyun shook her head, she didn't have too much scheming, she sighed and said: "It's not much, even in the peak season, you can only receive a dozen guests a month at most." When it's very light, if you can have two customers a month, it's already calculated. ”

Ren Ziling lowered her head and wrote something on the small notebook, then raised her head and said, "Why don't you open a resort over there?"

Lu Yiyun seemed to hesitate for a moment, the little girl is probably a person who is not good at words, and her face is too easy for people to see through. She glanced at the doorway suddenly, as if she was worried about something.

Ren Ziling turned her eyes and said, "If it's inconvenient, it doesn't matter if you don't say it." ”

Lu Yiyun nodded, and then said, "Mom said that you want two rooms." But it's all double rooms, I'll go and make an extra bed in this room, right? ”

"Sharing the bed?" Ren Ziling suddenly smiled and said, "No!"

The smiling deputy editor-in-chief Ren pointed to Luo Qiu at this time, nodded to Youye again, and said in an old bustard-like voice, "These two, one room." ”

"Well, we're in one room. ”

Unexpectedly, Luo Qiu nodded very directly.

Ren Ziling was stunned for a moment and opened her mouth...... Hell, she thought Luo Qiu must have refused at this time.

I didn't expect to agree so directly? Could it be, it's been ...... a long time ago. Sure enough, today's children are so precocious?

The small plot in the mind of the deputy editor-in-chief began to deduce the wonderful content after 12 o'clock in the night.

She looked at Yuya...... She really couldn't fault this girl at all. Although she hasn't said a few words since recently, such a quiet girl seems to be a natural pair of Luo Qiu in Ren Ziling's opinion.

Even under Luo Qiu's affirmative answer, there was no shyness, and he was generous, completely like an old husband and wife.

"Then, come with me. ”

But the little girl didn't seem to be able to completely let go of this aspect of things, so she had to lower her head and hurriedly walked out of the room.

Seeing Youye smiling and following Luo Qiu away with a well-behaved look, Ren Ziling touched her chin and muttered, "Miscalculated, miscalculated!"

"Sister Ren, what did you miscalculate?"

Ren Ziling said with a straight face: "I thought I had thoroughly understood this son! This is a piece of wood, but I didn't expect it...... Sure enough, it's stuffy/sassy. These two must have done this many times, right?"

“...... Sister Ren, don't be like this, I'm just a child. ”

"Go, go, go. Ren Ziling glanced at the pear, and suddenly said, "By the way, you stick to the wall and listen to the sound insulation of this room." ”

"What's wrong?"

"You're stupid! if the night is too intense, can you handle it?" Ren Ziling snorted, "Or are you going to do something embarrassing with me?"

Seeing Ren Ziling open her claws and scratching with her ten fingers, Lizi suddenly leaned against the wall and said in horror: "Sister Ren...... I, I'm really just a kid, you ...... Don't mess around. ”

"Hey, hey. ”

Scratch!

......

......

"Two guests, are you satisfied with this room?" Lu Yiyun took a deep breath.

I don't know if it's because of the illusion, but she feels that receiving these two people alone is a little more stressful than when she just received four people.

"If you're not satisfied, there's still one upstairs. ”

Luo Qiu shook his head.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, opened the window, and walked to the terrace outside the room, looking at the cliff and the sea.

Outside, there is a lawn with a simple stone wall made of stone and cement - the cottage is actually in the middle of the mountainside.

"Who's that?"

Luo Qiu suddenly pointed to an old man sitting on a bench on the lawn outside.

The old man, at this time, was just holding a drawing board and looking into the distance.

"Oh, that's my grandfather. Lu Yiyun smiled and said, "It's not a stranger, don't worry." ”

Luo Qiu nodded, and walked down the small wooden ladder next to the terrace outside the window, as if walking towards the old man.

"This guest ......," Lu Yiyun was stunned.

The maid smiled at this time and said, "It's okay, he's just walking." By the way, little sister, can you do me a favor?"

"Oh, please!"

"Can you take me to the kitchen? I want to prepare the food myself. ”

The little girl was stunned...... She'd never been asked for anything like this, had she?

......

Luo Qiu looked at the old man, who seemed to be in his sixties and in his seventies, and he sat on the bench near the edge of the cliff with his hat on, as if he had been for some time.

The pencil used for scanning stayed on the paper and didn't seem to move for a moment.

Just a few simple strokes, a silhouette was depicted, and it was vaguely seen to be a sketch of the human body.

The old man didn't seem to notice that someone was coming, or that someone was coming, and he didn't care, just quietly looking at the sea in front of him.

When the sea breeze blew, the blue star flowers planted under the small stone wall were blown and swayed, and Luo Qiu sat at the other end of the bench and took out his mobile phone to capture the scenery at this moment.

He lowered his head, fiddled with the photos on his phone, and suddenly said softly, "Why don't you draw it completely?"

The old man didn't seem to hear.

Until this second gust of sea breeze blows.

He said slowly: "I...... Can't remember. Can't remember...... Can't remember. ”

He grabbed the pencil in his hand and began to swipe quickly across the paper, crisscrossing it with just meaningless scribbles.

The vague outline was soon covered by these random brushstrokes, and the original appearance could no longer be seen.

"I can't remember!"

At this time, the sea and the sky are colorful, and dark clouds are spreading in the distance, and it is going to rain, and it is a torrential rain. (To be continued.) )
