Wei Guanyi stood at the door of the ward, frowning, "Mr. Xia, her condition is unstable and she just fell asleep. You can go in and see her, though. ”

Xia Lei nodded and entered the ward.

The ward was quiet, and Tranquility lay on the bed and slept deeply, and did not wake up because of Xia Lei's arrival.

Charleigh's gaze moved to the window, where there was an easel with an unfinished painting on it. He walked over.

The painting depicts a small European town, and in the center of the town stands a church with a high circular dome. The buildings around it are mostly Romanesque and Gothic buildings, simple and elegant, solemn and heavy, exuding a strong religious atmosphere. There wasn't a single modern building in the whole town, no telephone poles, huge advertisements or anything. There are figures in the painting, and they are not wearing modern clothes, but medieval European costumes.

The unfinished part is a house next to the town, behind which is a hillside with a river meandering through it. On the bank of the river below the hillside stands a tombstone, but there is no text on it.

"What kind of place is she painting?" Xia Lei's heart was confused, "If it is a place she has visited, it is impossible not to have the slightest modern element, right? Even the most well-preserved ancient town, it is indispensable to telephone poles, right? Also, she's an archaeologist, not an artist, and I've never heard her say she likes to draw before, let alone see her paint anything decent. What's going on with her amazing drawing skills after she's gone crazy?"

It seemed that this painting should be subsumed among the three paintings he had just seen.

"She painted the Mona Lisa this time, painted a white cloud, painted six faceless people, and painted a medieval European town, what exactly did she want to express?"

At this moment, Tranquility, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Tranquility, it's me. Xia Lei followed to the bedside and said with concern: "Are you okay?"

Tranquility didn't seem to hear Xia Lei's voice, she didn't even look at Xia Lei, after opening her eyes, she just stared blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling.

"Tranquility?" Xia Lei called Tranquility's name again.

Tranquility still didn't answer, she got up from the bed, put on her slippers, and walked slowly to the easel. She sat down in a chair, picked up a paintbrush, and dipped it in paint. During the whole process, she didn't say a word, nor did she look at Xia Lei. Xia Lei was in this room, in front of her eyes, but it was like an invisible cloud of air to her.

What's going on?

Xia Lei stood next to Serenity, his eyes staring straight at her, observing her every movement. He soon discovered that Tranquility's eyes were still dull and empty when he was painting, and he didn't have any aura. It feels like her body is moving, but her soul is no longer in her body. But in such an out-of-body state, the brush in her hand is extraordinary, and the speed of painting is very fast, and there is no mistake in the slightest.

"Are you ......" Xia Lei couldn't help but have a question in his heart, but still said it, "Are you quiet?"

Tranquility still didn't look back, and she continued to paint the unfinished landscape.

After a few minutes, Serenity finished painting the entire picture. The unfinished house was finished, and there was an extra dark-haired man in front of it.

Xia Lei's gaze shifted to the black-haired man in the painting, and he froze. All the people in this painting are Europeans in period costumes, but the black-haired man in this painting is a yellow-skinned Asian, and he is wearing jeans and Nike sneakers, which is a modern person!

After a few seconds, Xia Lei's gaze shifted to the black-haired man's face. The faces of the characters in the painting are small, and the lines of the faces are not very clear and cannot be seen clearly. At that moment, his left eye jumped slightly, awakening the ability of microvision. The blurred face became clear in the blink of an eye, and his jaw slammed to the ground.

The face of the black-haired man in the painting is not someone else's, it is the face of his Xia Lei!

"Who are you?" Xia Lei couldn't control his emotions anymore, he grabbed Tranquility's shoulder, and said anxiously, "Tell me! Tell me what you want to express?"

"Uh-huh......" A voice finally came out of Tranquility's throat, as if he had just woken up. Her gaze finally moved to Xia Lei's face, but it still looked dull and empty.

"Tranquility, ...... you" Xia Lei's heart was not only anxious, but also full of worry.

But at this moment, Tranquility suddenly said: "Italy, Bobbio, you are going there, wake me up......"

Xia Lei was stunned on the spot, and he suddenly felt that his brain was not enough. She was obviously in a sanatorium, and she was sober at this time, but she asked him to go to Bobbio in Italy to wake her up!

After saying a word, Tranquility suddenly fell to the ground with a sigh. It was as if all her strength had been drained of her body in an instant, and she could no longer support her body.

Xia Lei hurriedly stretched out his hand and hugged her, "Tranquility, tranquility, you wake up, you wake up." ”

Tranquility didn't react at all.

Xia Lei reached out and touched her carotid artery, but fortunately, her pulse was normal and not in danger. He then carried Tranquility to the bed and covered her with a quilt.

"Mr. Xia, do you need my help?" Wei Guanyi's voice came from outside the door of the ward.

Xia Lei said: "It's okay, give me a little more time." ”

"Okay, call me if you need to, I'll be outside. Wei Guanyi's voice.

Money can make ghosts grind, this Wei Guanyi took Xia Lei's money, of course he has to serve Xia Lei. Otherwise, in this quiet situation, outsiders are not allowed to visit, let alone stay alone in a room with her.

Charley took the painting off his easel and put it in his briefcase. He returned to the bedside and sat on the bed, holding one of Tranquility's hands, which was cold and unwarm.

"You asked me to go to Bobbio, Italy, is this the place? I'll go. Charley said to himself, "But, you said wake you up, what's the matter?tell me, are you controlled by something?If so, open your eyes." ”

Tranquility suddenly opened her eyes.

Xia Lei was suddenly taken aback by her, "You ......"

"Hee-hee. Tranquility suddenly smiled, "Dad, why are you here?"

Xia Lei, "?"

Tranquility shook Xia Lei's arm, "Dad, I want you to tell me a bedtime story." ”

Xia Lei suddenly found that Tranquility did not wake up after listening to what he just said, but entered another state, a state of madness. Her eyes at the moment are fresh and bright, full of innocence, and she is like a little girl's eyes. But her eyes just now were dull and empty, like a soulless walking corpse. The state before and after, judging like two people!

"Is it really the legendary ghost, is she possessed by something?" Xia Lei thought in his heart. But when the idea came to him, he didn't believe it.

There are no ghosts in this world at all. Although Princess Yongmei is an existence that is extremely similar to a "ghost", he knows that she is not a ghost at all, she is an existence in the form of energy. Her existence is inextricably linked to the ancient alloy and AE.

"Dad, I want to listen to bedtime stories, you can tell them. Tranquility continued to be coquettish, her little mouth slightly upturned, looking unhappy.

Xia Lei had never heard any bedtime stories in his life, nor had he ever told bedtime stories to anyone. Tranquility's request embarrassed him, he wanted to leave, but seeing Tranquility's disappointed appearance, he couldn't bear to leave her like this.

"Dad, you're a badass, you don't love me. Tranquility shook off Xia Lei's hand and got into the bed to hide. Soon the sound of her crying could be heard in the bed.

Xia Lei sighed and said stubbornly: "You come out, when you come out, your father will tell you a bedtime story." ”

"Really?" Tranquility then came out of the bed, tears still welling up in the corners of her eyes, but her face was full of smiles, so happy.

Xia Lei's heart moved, and he opened his mouth to tell the story, "A long, long time ago, there was a princess, her name was Zhu Xuanyue, and she was Princess Yongmei of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Tranquility looked at Xia Lei with blank eyes, waiting for him to continue.

In fact, Charlei had been observing Serenity's reaction, and he continued, "She was beautiful and brave. One day His Majesty the Emperor gave her a mission to take her army to a place she had never been to before. That place was inhabited by a Xiongnu tribe, and she built a city there, which was called the White Horse Tomorrow City. At this point, he paused and stared straight at Tranquility.

Tranquility urged: "Dad, tell me quickly, what happened later?"

Such a reaction is not a "ghost-on-the-top" reaction at all. He uses Princess Nagami's story to test her reaction, but it clearly doesn't work.

And then the princess went to Jerusalem, which is the holy place of Christianity. There she was given fine jewels and lots of good food. Well, there's also a piece of metal. ”

Tranquility's eyes were full of anticipation, and she seemed to be interested in the story.

"Then the princess will ......" Charré wanted to give the story an early ending, but he suddenly changed his mind and said, "Then the princess went to Italy, a town called Bobbio. She built a house there with a river behind it. There are so many fish in the river. There is also a tomb by the river, and the tomb ......"

The quiet eyes suddenly changed, and the innocence in the eyes disappeared, replaced by the dull, perforated eyes just now.

Xia Lei's heart was full of excitement, and he continued, "There is a woman buried in the tomb, she is so beautiful, she is a friend of Leonardo da Vinci, she is so beautiful and beautiful...... Tranquility?"

Tranquility suddenly said: "They're coming, they're coming......"

"Who's coming, tell me!" Xia Lei was anxious.

"Wake me up, wake me up...... We've got to run away, we've got to run away......" Serenity's voice was hoarse and cold, like a different person.

In this way, she also said to Wei Guanyi, Xia Lei has heard Wei Guanyi's recording, and the voice in the recording is the same as her current voice!

"Where are you, how am I going to wake you up?" asked Xia Lei.

"Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa ......"

"Are you talking about that Leonardo da Vinci painting?"

"There's no time...... Uh!" Before she could finish her sentence, a truncated sound suddenly came out of Tranquility's throat, and she suddenly fainted and fell limply on the bed.

"Tranquility, tranquility, hey?" Xia Lei shook Tranquility's shoulders, but she didn't react.

Everything that had just happened was quickly replayed in Xia Lei's brain, and Tranquility's every reaction was presented in his mind. He knew very well what stimulated Serenity and put her into another state like a "ghost", not the story of Princess Nagami, but the content of the painting she painted.

"What is it that makes her so afraid?" said to Xia Lei's heart.

He left the room a few minutes later.

"Mr. Xia, is Dr. Tranquility okay?" Wei Guanyi asked.

Xia Lei said: "She is asleep, you are doing well, I will not treat you badly." ”

Wei Guanyi smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Xia." ”

"The agreement between us continues to be valid, you take good care of Serenity, if there is any special situation, remember to contact me. Xia Lei said.

"No problem, Mr. Xia. ”

"I'm gone, goodbye. "Charlei left.

Bobbio, Italy, what is that place?

Wherever it was, he had to go and see it!
