Chapter 4: Acquaintance with Jun Chu (I)
After sending her father away, Tang Qi's eyes unconsciously stayed on the place where Wu Ming came to set up a stall to paint every time - the corner of the sidewalk on the north side of the west entrance of the school, it seemed that the taciturn and sharp-eyed Wu Ming was sitting in that corner now, and when she remembered the scene of her first acquaintance with Wu Ming, she would think of the poem: Acquaintance with Jun Chu is like returning to an old friend.
A few months ago, on a Saturday afternoon, on the sidewalk at the northwest corner of the West Gate of West University, Wu Ming was painting portraits of freshman girls at West University as usual.
The beautiful girl sitting in front of Wu Ming also frowned, and her red lips were pursed: "Hey-you're disgusting!" I won't draw anymore, give me back the money! ”
Wu Ming lowered his head, didn't raise his eyes, while playing with the oily pencil with his right hand, he kicked the shoe box with the money earned from painting portraits scattered with his foot, and didn't look at the girl with half an eye, and said in a deep voice: "Take it yourself!" ”
After the girl took the money, she pushed away the small stool, stood up, stretched out her hand, and almost commanded, "Draw it to me!" ”
A few onlookers muttered in a low voice: "The money has been returned, why are you embarrassed to paint!" ”
"That's it, forget it, the money is all taken!"
"Either you want money or you want to paint!"
“……”
The girl turned a deaf ear and said: "It's me who painted it, and if you don't give it to me, you're violating my portrait rights!" ”
Wu Ming didn't speak, he lazily drew a few strokes on that painting with a pen, almost talking with his nose, or the same sentence: "Take it yourself!" ”
The girl took the painting, her eyes opened extremely wide, and the look of shame and indignation on her pretty face rose, and she pointed at Wu Ming: "You...... You...... You! Unable to utter a word again, he threw the painting on the spot, snorted and turned and hurried away.
Everyone laughed, it turned out that Wu Ming was a few simple strokes, and he was stunned to change the girl's eyebrows, eyes and nose to the appearance of a female pig Bajie.
Wu Ming quickly changed to an aunt in front of him, and when Wu Ming was painting his aunt seriously, a red Porsche drove slowly at the west gate, and a Western college student who was watching whispered but envied: "Look! Purple Beauty Porsche! There were many students, pedestrians and vendors around, but Wu Ming still waved the pencil in his hand intently, detailing the silver hair dyed by the years of his aunt.
Wu Ming, the name of the Purple Beauty, has never heard less, you must know that Wu Ming has often come to Western University to paint in the past two years, and often heard Tang Qi's name from the conversations of Western University students, and knows that Tang Qi's beauty is famous in Western University, and he also knows that Tang Qi is nicknamed 'Purple Beauty' because he likes light purple clothes, in addition, he also knows that Tang Qi was born in a scholarly family, knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and often goes in and out of various public occasions in the school in a high-profile manner;
And he paints here all day long, since it is not uncommon to see the scenery and glamour of this red Porsche driving in and out, Xu is his silence and low-key, Xu is the high-profile swagger of the purple beauty, Wu Ming seems to be not interested in this Porsche and the purple beauty at all. Therefore, the depiction of his aunt's silver hair is still vivid, as if you can see the joy and sorrow of the aunt's past years from this silver hair.
Suddenly, a stone under the rear wheel of the Porsche collapsed and hit the aunt's back waist, only to hear the aunt's scream, holding the back waist, and the expression was extremely painful.
The Porsche driven by Tang Qi was still moving slowly, and when he was about to drive into the school gate, Wu Ming suddenly stopped in front of the car, stretched out his hand to the aunt, and said lightly: "A stone burst out of the rear wheel of your car and hit the aunt!" ”
Tang Qi raised her eyebrows, rolled down the window, took off her sunglasses, looked at the man's fingers, and saw that the aunt who was sitting on the pony and with her back to her was holding her back and moaning loudly at the moment: "Oops-it hurts--how did you drive the car-ouch-" and there was a drawing board in front of the aunt, although Tang Qi and Wu Ming had never met, but at this moment Tang Qi's mind flashed Wu Ming's name.
Because in the past two or three years, there has been a person who is almost a legend in the Western University, saying that a high-achieving student from the West often comes to the University on weekends to paint portraits of people, and his paintings are not only very good but also very special, and if he paints well, he means that the paintings are very similar, and the paintings are especially said that the portraits he painted are alive, and you can see the personality, joy and worry of the characters from the paintings. Legend has it that the portrait of the person was not painted at all, but a portrait of the person in a certain period, either in the past or in the future...... And this person in the legend is Wu Ming. What's more, there is a saying in the West that "there was a magic pen in the past, Ma Liang, and now there is Danqing Wu Ming", which means that Wu Ming paints what he thinks, and what he paints can become real.
Tang Qi didn't believe in any legendary special functions, and at this moment he silently looked at Wu Ming, who was dressed in blue sportswear, looking at her with dragon eyes and phoenix eyes, the corners of his slightly upturned mouth revealed a little elegance, a little indifference, a little mockery, and a little disdain, Tang Qi's heart made a small wave, it seemed that everything in this world was in the corners of his slightly upturned mouth, and that disdain seemed to be demonstrating to himself at the moment.
Tang Qi got out of the car, dressed in purple, glanced at Wu Ming, shook his long hair, and walked straight to the aunt, his left eye glanced at the aunt at the same time, and his right eye naturally saw the portrait of the aunt, the vividness of the portrait trembled in Tang Qi's heart, and suddenly there was a faint smell of smoke lingering between her noses, frowning and turning back, she saw Wu Ming who followed her, Wu Ming's eyes were firm and deep, as soon as she touched Wu Ming's eyes, Tang Qi actually felt a little flustered, and hurriedly lowered her eyebrows to avoid it.
What just caught Wu Ming's eyes was Tang Qi's lilac clothes, light makeup, that light, faint indifference, curved eyebrows, curved lips, curved so gentle that people were suffocated, a touch of confusion, surprise and messiness spread from Wu Ming's eyes so abruptly, Wu Ming tried his best to hide the abnormality of his eyes, but behind the calm surface was turbulent, he was thinking: How did Tang Qi look like her, especially the curved eyebrows and curved lips.
After lowering his eyebrows, he returned to the previous Tang Qi suddenly found that there was a fleeting touch of confusion, surprise and messiness in Wu Ming's eyes, Tang Qi smiled, confident and charming.
Tang Qi's crisp voice sounded like a bell: "Who is Auntie yours?" ”
Wu Ming said lightly: "Customer." ”
Tang Qi chuckled, turned his crooked lips to Auntie, bent down and asked softly, "Auntie!" Are you alright? Does it matter? Does it hurt? You point me out where it hurts? ”
"Oops! Oops! Auntie was asked by Tang Qi, holding her lower back, and the pain was more energetic than before, "I said how did you drive!" This is the life of this old bone of mine! Oops! It hurts me! Fu pointed to a piece of his waist and said, "Here, it hurts here!" Whoa—"
Tang Qi glanced at the painful part of the aunt, her eyes were shining, and she changed her words, not calling her aunt: "Auntie!" You're still young! He took out the money from his bag and handed it to his aunt: "Give, Auntie!" This is 1,000 yuan, you take it to the doctor first, I still have something to do, and then I will go to the hospital to see you, if you don't worry, remember my license plate number, Shaanxi A-......"
The aunt's eyes quickly wiped over thousands of joys, grabbed the money, and nodded frequently: "Okay!" Good! Good! Good girl......"
Seeing this, Wu Ming interjected: "Eh! Aunt! You're hurt on your back! Let her accompany you to the hospital for a check-up! What if something goes wrong? ”
Tang Qi was quite speechless at Wu Ming's words, and was about to question Wu Ming with crooked eyes, when he saw that the aunt waved her hand vigorously to Wu Ming and said, "Young man! Forget it! This girl is not only beautiful but also has a good heart, don't you embarrass other girls, haven't you heard other girls say that they still have something to do? ”
Listening to Auntie's words, Wu Ming understood, in the eyes of Auntie, Tang Qi was a good-hearted eye and he was a bad-hearted eye, despite this, Wu Ming still said patiently: "Auntie, let's go and have a look!" Physical matters are not a joke, otherwise, I will accompany you to the hospital to have a look! ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the aunt heard this, she was furious, and she raised her voice and shouted: "Hey! I said lad! You're cursing me! Gotcha, I still have something to do, mother, don't paint! The aunt smiled at Tang Qi again and said, "The girl is really a good person!" Without taking the painting, he turned around and squeezed through the crowd and left quickly, his waist was straight, and he muttered in a low voice before leaving: "Lack of heart!" ”
Everyone in the audience laughed, and the emotional aunt's back pain was faked.
Wu Ming is stunned.
Tang Qi looked at Wu Ming very proudly, suddenly sneered again, and shouted at the aunt who hadn't gone far: "Auntie, you are good to go!" ”
March is the season of peach blossoms, and a few playful peach blossoms in the Xida wall are also coming out to see the excitement, Wu Ming only feels that Tang Qi at this moment is as brilliant as the peach blossoms in March, this person is a flower, and a flower is also a person, let's squeeze myself together.
Tang Qi looked at Wu Ming, who was extremely embarrassed at the moment, and was really proud in his heart, his right index finger shook the car key, and his lips opened lightly: "Can I go?" ”
Wu Ming said: "Of course! He said, "That's it, you give me the card number, and I'll give you a thousand yuan when I go back!" ”
Tang Qi was a little stunned, so he smiled and said, "No need! ”
Wu Ming insisted: "Give me the card number!" ”
Tang Qi remembered the three words 'lack of heart' before her aunt left, and said: "You are really a person, I said I don't want it!" Suddenly he felt that this seemed inappropriate, so he changed his words and said, "Or, so be it!" How much do you pay for a painting? ”
Wu Ming said: "Fifty for sixteen, one hundred for eight." ”
Tang Qi walked in front of Wu Ming at this time, blinked with crooked eyes, some were sloppy, some were proud, and chuckled: "From now on, you owe me five portraits!" ”
Wu Mingleng paused: "How can this be?" ”
Tang Qi: "Why not?" Suddenly, he glanced at the portrait of the aunt and said, "No, because of me, you didn't succeed in that aunt's business, and you lost fifty, so be it!" You owe me four eight-carat paintings and one sixteen-carat one! ”
Wu Ming smiled dumbly and said, "Okay! ”
Tang Qi suddenly remembered the legend of Wu Ming, is there really a special function in this world? Although she didn't believe that there was a person in this world who would have a heavenly eye, she was a lot more curious than usual at this moment: "Anyway, I'm fine now, why don't you draw me an eight-open picture now!" Wu Ming: "Okay! ”
It's just that she forgot: there is nothing wrong with being curious, but curiosity kills people, and Wu Ming's painting changed his fate in the dark, and also changed the fate of Tang Qi's life
Tang Qi's eyes under her curved eyebrows reflected extreme curiosity: "Can you draw me a very special painting?" ”
Wu Ming frowned: "What's so special?" ”
Tang Qi: "I heard that you can draw a person's past and future!" ”
Wu Ming's eyes were a little hazy: "You actually believe this?" ”
Tang Qi replied against his will: "I believe it!" ”
Wu Ming smiled bitterly, looking at Tang Qi, Wu Ming's eyes became even hazy, and after a long time, he said, "Okay!" ”
Tang Qi's eyes flipped and said slyly: "I don't know the future me, so you have to draw the past me!" ”
Wu Ming was silent, his eyes were a little blurry, let Tang Qi sit down and look at his eyes with all his attention, Wu Ming's eyes were a little more blurry, Tang Qi looked at Wu Ming's eyes, she didn't know how to describe the eyes she saw, there was indescribable sadness, endless loneliness and confusion in those eyes...... Tang Qi's eyes also began to blur, Wu Ming's blur was a little more, and Tang Qi's blur was a little thicker......
Time passed second by second, Wu Ming's blur had reached the extreme, and Tang Qi's blur had also reached the extreme.
At this moment, Tang Qi's thoughts were flying, and different scenes kept changing in his mind, including the archaeological scene, the pots and pans where his father and mother quarreled and fell all over the ground, and the corner of the Revolution Park that only he knew he often went to when he was sad and helpless......
After a while, the picture in Tang Qi's blurred eyes reflected many people, including classmates, friends, mothers, and a beautiful young woman who looked at her fiercely, as well as a pair of mother's complaining and helpless eyes...... The picture becomes the mother's tombstone again, and she touches the tombstone helplessly and cries......
At this time, Wu Ming was suddenly alert, he knew that there were some things that could not be peeped at, even the closest people, even himself.
"Stop!" Wu Ming shouted, pulling Tang Qi back to reality from the confusion.
Wu Ming's forehead was full of fine beads of sweat at the moment, and Tang Qi's eyes clearly had teardrops.
Wu Ming began to paint with a brush.
Tang Qi looked like he had a serious illness, his face was pale, Tang Qi took a deep breath, his face was somewhat colored, and his frightened eyes looked at Wu Ming's eyes again.
She wanted to know what kind of magic Wu Ming's blurry eyes had that could touch the pain buried deep in her heart, at this time there was already a painting in front of Tang Qi, Wu Ming's painting, there was no Tang Qi on the painting, and there was no one on it, and some were the corner of the Revolution Park that Tang Qi often went to, the corner that she often went to when she was sad and helpless, and the corner where only she knew about the pain of burial.
Tang Qi looked at Wu Ming in amazement, for a long time, Tang Qi didn't say a word, smiled faintly and bitterly, wrote a phone number on Wu Ming's blank drawing paper, and left dejectedly.
It's just that Wu Ming can never forget the gratification and affection that suddenly appeared in Tang Qi's eyes when he left in a dejected way.
Recalling this, Tang Qi suddenly couldn't help laughing in the depths of her heart, she was thinking that life was like a dream, and it was enough to have a confidant! At this moment, a voice sounded in my ear: "I said what are you standing here smirking at early in the morning?!" ”
Tang Qi was startled, turned around and saw Wu Ming riding a car from three places, and pretended to be coquettish: "I hate it!" Scared the hell out of me! ”
Wu Ming, who was carrying a picture clip, casually asked as he got out of the car, "What do you want?" Then get into the gods. ”
Tang Qi half-jokingly: "I miss you!" Suddenly, his cheeks were hot, and he hurriedly changed his words: "I miss your painting." With his head buried in his chest, Wu Ming snorted and said, "My painting? Is my painting so ridiculous? Something is wrong! ”
When Tang Qi heard this, he gritted his silver teeth with hatred, and then looked at Wu Ming's brows, as if he was thinking about what was wrong with his painting, and thought: What a wooden man! Leng snorted and said, "Nothing is right!" ”
Wu Ming seemed to understand and didn't seem to understand, without saying a word, he pushed the cart directly to the corner to set up the painting clip and set up a stall.
This time it was Tang Qi's turn to be puzzled, this nerd didn't even ask what was wrong with his painting! chased after him again, helped Wu Ming set up the fan painting, and asked as he posed, "Have you eaten breakfast?" ”
Wu Ming: "Not yet, I'll rush here after cleaning up the bed, have you eaten?" I'm going to buy it. ”
Tang Qi smiled sweetly and replied, "Okay!" I want a burger, a glass of fresh milk, and I'll show you the stall here! ”
Wu Ming answered and went, while Tang Qi sat peacefully on the pony, habitually taking out his mobile phone to browse the news. Suddenly, an unusually familiar picture came into view, and after she clicked to enlarge it, she found that the picture was a jade seal, and the jade seal on the picture was exactly the same as Wu Ming's painting. Only then did she see the headline of the news: Shaanxi archaeology found the best-preserved fresh corpse of the Qing Dynasty and a jade seal suspected of being lost for thousands of years.
But as she continued to scroll down, how unbelievable and weird the next picture would bring her?
At this moment, it was the fresh corpse of the ancient tomb that was found yesterday that poked Tang Qi's optic nerve, Tang Qi couldn't believe her own eyes, she rubbed her eyes and rubbed her eyes, zoomed in, kept enlarging the picture, and carefully checked every detail of the facial features of the fresh corpse, the dragon eyes and phoenix eyes, the straight nose bridge, the thick black and powerful sword eyebrows, the delicate face, and many more...... It turned out to be exactly the same as Wu Ming, it was completely carved out of a mold, that is, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth revealed a little elegance, a little indifference, and a little mockery turned out to be Wu Ming on a normal day, and he was not messy and delicate!
