Chapter 1: Strange Sculptures
For the Hongcheng people, one of the four major furnaces, it is really a great pleasure to blow the river breeze under the Bayi Bridge on the bank of the Ganjiang River. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info don't look at it is almost five o'clock in the afternoon, people in Hongcheng know that the day in July and August is only ten o'clock in the evening, and this God will not give a trace of coolness. Therefore, it is the best choice to go to the edge of the Gan River to enjoy the wind and enjoy the river view.
On this weekend, people are still bustling as usual, Qiu Lin came to the Ganjiang River not only to blow the wind like the old Nanchang people, he also has one thing to do, that is, to prepare some necessary items for himself to practice calligraphy in the next period of time. Because the time was still early, Qiu Lin had already arrived at King Teng's Pavilion following the footsteps of the people who were enjoying the coolness, and his destination had arrived.
Tengwang Pavilion and Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower and called "the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River". The pinnacle of Chinese classical architecture, it was built in the fourth year of Tang Yonghui (653 AD) for Li Yuanying, the son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, when he was the governor of Hongzhou, and it is the only existing royal building in the south. "When the wind comes to send Tengwang Pavilion", Tengwang Pavilion is famous all over the world because of Wang Bo, the head of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", an essay - "Autumn Denghong Mansion Tengwang Pavilion Farewell Preface" (referred to as "Tengwang Pavilion Preface"). The surrounding residents see that the tourists come here mostly to feel the profound cultural heritage, and the people who have a flexible mind rent a store nearby to sell the four treasures of the study, which can be regarded as a joint scene, and gradually someone in the vicinity has opened an antique shop, and slowly formed the scale of this small antique city.
Qiu Lin fell in love with calligraphy because of the influence of the teacher since junior high school, and now he is also practicing every day, a little successful, he just ran out of paper and ink yesterday and today is Sunday, so he wants to buy some more here to use!
Walking through the door of the Fujiwang Pavilion, I glanced inside and was still full of tourists, and sighed in my heart: the current government has turned such a culturally rich scenic spot into a place to make money for the sake of the economy! He sighed and continued to walk forward, and after a few steps, he arrived at the door of the study. This shop is the largest store that sells the four treasures of the study here, the things are a little more expensive, but the quality is guaranteed and the variety is complete, Qiu Lin is most willing to come here to buy the paper and ink he wants.
Walked into the store with his feet up, and before he had time to look at the situation in the store, a voice sounded in his ears: "Xiaoqiu, you are here, have you run out of paper and ink?" ”
Qiu Lin looked over when he heard this, but it was the boss who was smiling at the counter and looking at him, so he opened his mouth and smiled: "Yes, Boss Wang!" How's it going? ”
The person who spoke to Qiu Lin was Wang Xinmin, the owner of Wenfangzhai, who was in his forties and had an elegant face. Qiu Lin came a few times and talked to him a few times, and he remembered him, and Qiu Lin had a good impression of him.
At this time, Wang Xinmin also replied: "It's okay! Didn't you call Uncle Wang, but you looked down on me when you called Boss Wang? ”
knew that Wang Xinmin was laughing at himself, "I can't climb high!"
Wang Xinmin said: "What is high or not climbing, let you call Uncle Uncle, otherwise don't come to me in the future!" ”
Seeing that Wang Xinmin was indeed a little unhappy, Qiu Lin immediately changed his words: "Okay, Uncle Wang, I will call you Uncle Wang in the future." ”
"That's right," Wang Xinmin said happily!
In fact, when Qiu Lin went to Wenfangzhai for the first time to buy things, Wang Xinmin noticed this young man, who was energetic and had an attractive appearance, especially when he was an old person. When Qiu Lin first came, he thought that he was buying the four treasures of the study for his elders, but through conversation, he learned that he was using it for himself! In this fast-paced society, there are still young people who are willing to settle down to practice calligraphy, which is really rare, and through a few contacts, Wang Xinmin appreciates Qiu Lin very much, and there is the above scene!
"Xiao Qiu, how far have you practiced calligraphy? I know a master calligrapher, do you want me to introduce you? Wang Xinmin quickly asked Qiu Lin again.
Qiu Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he thought of something again, and shook his head: "Forget it, Uncle Wang!" I'm just a little interested in calligraphy, so I don't have to bother to pass the time in my spare time! To be honest, Qiu Lin has always insisted on practicing calligraphy because he has a strong interest in calligraphy, and because of the conditions, he just bought a few calligraphy books in the bookstore to practice, Wang Xinmin did cheer in his heart when he put forward this suggestion, but Qiu Lin is not a person who likes to owe favors, especially Wang Xinmin is not familiar with him, so he refused
Wang Xinmin has been rolling in the business for so many years, and he saw through Qiu Lin's careful thinking at a glance, so he didn't say more: "Okay, if you want to learn calligraphy when you want to tell me." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Wang, I will definitely look for you when I need it!" Qiu Lin also replied.
Wang Xinmin didn't say anything about this anymore.
"Uncle Wang, help me get some rice paper and ink, I'm running out of money at home!"
"It's still the same, right?" Wang Xinmin asked.
"Yes, Uncle Wang!" Qiu Lin nodded.
"Then you can take a look at it first, and I'll wrap it up for you." After speaking, Wang Xinmin went to help Qiu Lin prepare things.
Qiu Lin saw that there was nothing to do, and he was also very familiar with Wang Xinmin's shop, so he looked at Wang Xinmin's four treasures in the store!
Not to mention, Wang Xinmin's study room is known as the largest study room on the side of Tengwang Pavilion Four Treasures Shop, the things inside are indeed complete, Linglang is full of everything, there are all kinds of brushes on the left hand side of the door, and the window on the right hand side is also full of brushes, but the difference with the left side is that the brushes here are super large. Qiu Lin has always wanted to learn to write this kind of big characters and splash ink, but unfortunately he didn't dare to start without the guidance of a famous teacher. In the past, Wang Xinmin was preparing paper and ink for Qiu Lin, and the large and small grids were all famous papers from all over the world. In the middle of a large porcelain jar there are long and short scrolls, and in the back rows of shelves are Wang Xinmin placed the inkstones and ink blocks he collected from all over the country, and then there is a stump-like coffee table with a set of tea sets on it.
Qiu Lin looked at the store and then raised his feet to the shelf where the inkstone was put and admired all kinds of inkstones, to be honest, although Qiu Lin often practiced calligraphy and looked at the inkstones in Wang Xinmin's store, but he didn't study the inkstones at all, but he liked the inkstones of various shapes very much.
For example, there are all kinds of inkstones in Wang Xinmin's shop, with different shapes, and Qiu Lin has to appreciate it every time he comes to the study.
"Okay, Xiaoqiu!" Wang Xinmin's voice sounded on the counter.
"It's coming!" Qiu Lin immediately stood up and walked to the counter.
"Look what's missing." Wang Xinmin said.
Qiu Lin glanced at it and knew that it was not bad: "There is no shortage, Uncle Wang." Give you the money! ”
"It's three hundred and twenty-seven in total, wipe out the odds for you, count it as three hundred!" Wang Xinmin said to Qiu Lin.
"Then thank you, Uncle Wang!" Qiu Lin didn't postpone it, after all, the salary was only a few thousand yuan a month, and there was not much left after deducting the rent and asking for electricity, so he took out his wallet and paid the money: "Then I'll leave first, Uncle Wang"
Go ahead", Wang Xinmin smiled
Qiu Lin carried a bundle of paper and a piece of ink in his hand, and walked towards the door. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the corner of his eye, and when he looked along the bright light, he saw a few dirt-stained things in the corner, and in curiosity, Qiu Lin walked over and picked up one of them and looked at it.
This thing in his hand is like iron, not iron, like bronze, but it is not like it, and the shape is peculiar, a bit like a unicorn but it is not, and it is not like the divine beast in Qiu Lin's memory, so he doesn't want to see it, so he put it down casually, and just put it down, it seems to see a flash of light disappearing, Qiu Lin picked it up and walked towards Wang Xinmin: "Uncle Wang, what is this?" ”
Wang Xinmin took a look, and then gave it back to Qiu Lin: "This was sent by an old lady yesterday afternoon, saying that it was dug out of her own field and thought it was an antique and brought it to me, I looked at it and didn't know what it was so that it didn't look like an antique, so I didn't ask for it, the old lady didn't see it as an antique and didn't entangle it and said that the trouble it brought would not be lost to me here, and I saw that the old lady was disappointed, so I gave her five hundred yuan when I bought it, and I remember that there were 3 of them in that corner." ”
Qiu Lin understood as soon as he heard it, and now under the influence of TV media, everyone knows that antiques are valuable, so they take everything that looks like old objects at home for identification, and the old lady is probably one of them. Thinking of this, Qiu Lin wanted to put it back, and suddenly remembered the light again, Qiu Lin wanted to buy it and see what it was, "Uncle Wang, I want to buy these things, you see?" ”
Wang Xinmin looked at Qiu Lin suspiciously: "You don't think that this antique is very valuable?" I'll tell you it's nothing, not even a craft! ”
Qiu Lin couldn't cry or laugh when he heard Wang Xinmin's words: "Uncle Wang, I just think this thing is very interesting to take back and play with, not what you think!" ”
Wang Xinmin felt that Qiu Lin was wrong, thinking that he was not such an unstable person, so he said: "Since this is the case, you can take it back and play, and don't give money." ”
"Then what's the matter, Uncle Wang, how can you not give money?"
Wang Xinmin smiled: "It's not a good thing!" ”
"That's not good, how can you make me embarrassed to come to you to buy things again in the future!" Qiu Lin is a person who does not want to take advantage of others for nothing.
Wang Xinmin saw that Qiu Lin was anxious, so he smiled again and said, "You kid! Okay, I'll listen to you. Then you give a hundred and don't let me compensate," Hearing Wang Xinmin say this, Qiu Lin no longer insisted.
Cosy nest
Qiu Lin took things and walked towards the bus stop, the heat wave hit wave after wave, and after a few steps, Qiu Lin was sweating, this damn weather. He bowed his head and complained. Finally walked to the bus stop, and saw the crowd of people huddled together, Qiu Lin wailed: "I forgot that today is Sunday, the bus to that side in the afternoon will be crowded to death." "The bus in Hongcheng is like this, there are fewer cars and more people, as long as it is on the weekend, the bus from Bayi Bridge to Changbei is always crowded.
It is no wonder that although Hongcheng is an old revolutionary city and a red cradle, it is also a forgotten city. Located in the central part of the country, the coastal area has nothing to do with her, and the large-scale development of the western region has nothing to do with her, in short, the country seems to have forgotten her, and several surrounding provincial capitals are stronger than her, and there are no resources, no policies, and the economy has not been carried up, and prices have gone up.
In this case, municipal engineering will not be able to keep up.
Qiu Lin looked at the crowd of black and suppressed people and couldn't help but think of his own red and black, red and black is just an electric car, Qiu Lin with four wheels is still fantasizing, that is Qiu Lin just arrived in this city when he bought it for work, but unfortunately it was stolen in less than a month on a dark and windy night, for which Qiu Lin was sad for several days, no way, it was his last seven hundred yuan to buy or a second-hand car How much will he feel sad if it was stolen like this.
So later, although there would be a little spare money, Qiu Lin never bought an electric car again!
Qiu Lin thought about red and black, but he didn't forget to look forward to see if he was not coming, Qiu Lin saw the 232 bus coming, and Qiu Lin immediately rushed over.
finally squeezed into the bus, but the car was crowded, and there were things in his hands, Qiu Lin's sweat was gushing, coupled with the complicated road conditions, the car always stopped urgently, Qiu Lin was squeezed by the crowd, and he was prone to accidents.
When he finally arrived at the station half an hour later, Qiu Lin was completely pushed off the train.
After getting out of the car, Qiu Lin casually bought some food and went home. Qiu Lin's rented place is a village, and the place where he gets off the bus is a market because of the dense flow of people and a few colleges and universities nearby, but life is very convenient. After this toss, Qiu Lin finally climbed to the fifth floor of the house, it was already past six o'clock, took out the key to open the door, threw the things casually, and poured his whole body onto the sofa, and turned on the old fan by the sofa casually. Lying on the sofa blowing the fan, Qiu Lin let out a pleasant breath, looking at his rented two-bedroom apartment, he felt satisfied. I just came here last year, and I didn't know the place well, but I found this house with my classmates who were still in college nearby, and rented it at a very low price at that time.
This house is a 2-bedroom and two-living room house, the landlord of household appliances and furniture is ready for Qiu Lin, the house is also spacious enough to have 93 square meters, Qiu Lin is very satisfied with the price of 700 to rent, and then after his own careful arrangement, it has become antique, and every tenant who comes to share the house is reluctant to go.
After blowing the fan for a while, Qiu Lin got up and finished dinner, and then went to take a cold shower before walking back to the living room and taking the paper and ink back to the room.
Qiu Lin's room is different from other boys' rooms, it is very neatly tidy, and there is a pot of flowers and plants on the desk, which makes people look very comfortable
Qiu Lin smashed to the ground, sadly it was not his head that touched the floor, but the center of his eyebrows collided fiercely with the single horn on the head of the alien beast sculpture, and the last trace of thought flashed before Qiu Lin lost consciousness: "My life is over!"
If someone was in the room at this time, they would definitely be startled by what they saw in front of them, only to see Qiu Lin's forehead embedded with a sculpture of a strange beast, and blood continued to flow out along the sculpture, and the sculpture next to his forehead was almost soaked with blood, because the blood that flowed out did not stop and continued to soak into the other two sculptures.
If ordinary people lose so much blood, it may be difficult to save their lives, but Qiu Lin still has a trace of breath. I don't know how long it took for the blood to finally soak all the three strange beasts, only to see that the blood flowing out of Qiu Lin was being absorbed by the three strange beasts at this time, and the blood on the ground was getting less and less, and finally when there was no blood on the ground at all, three dazzling lights came out from the three strange beast sculptures, and the people who pierced them couldn't open their eyes, and then the three rays of light actually flew up and hit Qiu Lin's head, and as the three rays of light crashed into Qiu Lin's head, everything in the room was calm, leaving only Qiu Lin lying in the dark.
