Chapter 52: The Little Attic
"You don't have to treat us as guests, they all said we took our things and left. Qi Liqian was impatient.
Min Xili thought to himself that it was good to bring him here today, otherwise he might not even be able to enter the gate. The two of them came to the attic with ease, leaving Aunt Zhang downstairs alone.
Min Xili saw the familiar door, there was a scratch on the door, and said with a smile: "This house is unfamiliar with everything, but only this attic retains the appearance of the time." Look at this scratch, you accidentally cut it with your father's sword. ”
When Qi Liqian was a child, he was the skinniest child in the entire rich area, Qi An once collected a Longquan sword, and he didn't know how to be held by Qi Liqian to play around, although he didn't open the blade, but he was still majestic in his hand. He came to play with Min Xili, and in order to show him the magic of this sword, he cut down the door and scared Min Xili into tears. Since then, Xia Yi has never let him bring toys to play at home, always worried that he will bring something dangerous and hurt Min Xili.
"I remember that you asked me to cut down the door and try that sword, but you yourself were scared and cried again. I was beaten by my mom first, and then my dad came back and beat me again. I didn't expect that after so many years, this door has not been changed" Qi Liqian twisted the round handle and found that it was locked.
Qi Liqian forcibly twisted a few times, although the door was old, it was old and strong.
Min Xili asked him, "Do you have a card on you?"
Now that everyone pays with their mobile phones, who will carry this kind of card with them. However, Qi Liqian groped through his entire pocket and found a room card.
Min Xili gave him a meaningful look. Qi Liqian was also embarrassed, scratched his head and explained: "My hotel." ”
Min Xili sent it inside through the crack in the door, and the door actually opened!
Qi Liqian's "Wow!" exclaimed: "What kind of Jiangyang thief are you, you can still do this!" leaned against the open door and compared a classic movie pose: "Do you think we are Mr. and Mrs. Smith?"
Min Xili gave him a blank look and returned his room card to its original owner: "There is a problem with the design of this door, and a driver in the house has stolen things and opened it like this before, so I will try it." ”
Qi Liqian pulled them up again, tried them twice, and sure enough, they opened. Exclaimed: "This is really a craft!"
"Only things that are not important, will not change the door. If you look at valuable things, aren't they all electronic locks with keys and fingerprints? Min Xili pushed the door open and didn't let him try again.
Entering the small attic, it was covered with a white cloth, like some kind of warehouse full of messy things. She ripped off the cloth from the pile of things at the door, and it turned out to be all kinds of toys from her childhood.
The air was filled with the smell of dust, and Qi Liqian waved his hand to chase away the fine dust.
"Siri, this way. Qi Liqian tore off the cloth against the wall.
Min Xili went over and saw Qi Liqian tearing off the rows of cloth. A whole row of paintings appear in front of you, most of them are portraits, and the most painted is Min Xili.
"Ah Li, you start looking over there, mainly looking for landscape paintings. As long as it's like Monet, find out. Min Xi went to the other side by herself, and she did not expect that her mother would leave behind fifty or sixty complete paintings.
"I have a question......"
"What?" Qi Liqian looked at a few paintings and asked, "I can tell the difference between landscape paintings, but what about Monet?"
Min Xili was stunned on the spot, thinking that he might not be able to rely on him, after all, Qi Liqian's interest was not in music and painting at all. Thinking of the scene once depicted in his mother's notes, Min Xili said: "Then you can find out if there is a painting by the lake, with snow-capped mountains in the distance, sheep or horses, houses or pavilions. ”
Qi Liqian breathed a sigh of relief: "If you tell me so, I can understand." ”
When Min Xili was a child, she didn't remember that her mother had painted so many paintings, at most she painted herself and some still lifes, her brushstrokes were not broken, and many of them seemed to be just random strokes, but they felt that there was a lot less charm without that stroke.
She flipped through it for a while and found that there were a large number of landscape paintings in it. Moreover, the style is different from the restraint and precision of portrait painting, and the color is very bold and gorgeous. There are many views of the Rose Garden.
Ciri thought that this must have been drawn in her "shelter".
Min Xili looked at the paintings, and wondered why she was more and more sure that her mother must have drawn an imaginary picture of Hari Tureg.
Suddenly, a painting came into her eyes. It was a portrait of a man smoking a cigarette by the window, and the sunlight dappled the open glass window, and the reflection of roses could be faintly visible. Strangely, however, the portrait is unfinished, because all the details are so lifelike, but this portrait has no facial features.
The face is blurry, like a child in the mother's womb, with flesh and bones, but it just can't see clearly.
Qi Liqian shouted: "Xili, come and see if this is it?"
Min Xili put down the painting and came to Qi Liqian's side, the painting was very small. Only a quarter of "Charlesiri". However, the technique and brushstrokes are the same as in "Charlesi".
Qi Liqian took out the painting and sighed: "Your memory is too good, you can remember everything your mother painted." If it were me, I would have forgotten about ......."
Min Xili saw that there were still a dozen or so paintings left untranslated, and after checking them one by one, she was sure that there was only one painting, which looked very different from her style in that way.
"Let's go. Xili took the painting in his hand, and when he turned around, he saw Feng Jing standing at the door with a big belly.
"What are you doing?" Feng Jing glanced at the door and asked, "How did you get in?"
"Open the door and come in. Qi Liqian smiled so that people and animals were harmless. As soon as he saw Feng Jing's stomach, he was a little stunned, and whispered to Min Xili: "I saw her go to the hospital a few days ago, don't do anything, let's go quickly." ”
Min Xili seemed to have Feng Jing's face not very good, she was obviously still in the hospital last night, but she came back today.
"Oh, I'll come back and get my mother's relics. It's just a painting. Min Xili said: "Don't disturb your rest, let's go first." ”
Feng Jing glanced at the room, where Min Da was also locked, she knew what was inside but never asked. thought that Min Xili also had the key, thinking that even if the relationship between the two of them was not good, they would always be father and daughter. I can't say a word, I see that she can come when she wants, and leave when she wants.
The two of them walked to the courtyard, and Qi Liqian breathed a sigh of relief, after all, if today's incident was known by her mother, it would inevitably be scolded again.
Who knew that after just a few steps, Aunt Zhang ran out and shouted, "Oh no, no, big miss." Mrs. Amniotic Water Breaks!"
"Ah, you're going to give birth?!" Qi Liqian said to Min Xili: "Go quickly, don't be cheating." Why is it so coincidental that she is about to give birth just as we are leaving, and it is popular in palace fighting dramas to blame her like this. ”
