Chapter 196: Persistence
"What if the painting is washed down, but not as I guessed, there is no treasure map at all?" Even if the painting was copied and the back road that Geng Xiwu said was prepared, Lan Xi still had no bottom in his heart, especially since this matter was really important, and Lan Xi really couldn't care less. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Is your guess based on imagination?" Geng Xiwu didn't answer and asked.
Lan Xi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Of course not!" "She's done analysis and inference, too, okay? In the end, if it weren't for the fact that this matter was really involved, she wouldn't have been so unconfident in herself.
"Isn't that the end of it?" Geng Xiwu tugged at the corners of his lips and raised his left eyebrow, "I believe in you, and I didn't come out of thin air, because I know that you are worthy of my trust." Even if this time, if you guess wrong, it's not a big deal, it's just that I was unlucky and lost the bet, that's all. ”
Geng Xiwu's understatement attitude really calmed Lan Xi a lot, she took a deep breath, and felt that her hanging heart was looking for a place to rely on, so she didn't notice it, and the smile that disappeared returned to her lips again. "Are you ready to wash your paintings? Why don't you let them do it? ”
"Not really, I've prepared it earlier." This time it was Lu Zhan who spoke, and he had already prepared it? So, Master also believes that she will be able to imitate the painting well? Lan Xi's heart was indescribably warm.
"The girl has worked hard these days, so I'll leave the work of washing the painting to the teacher! You should eat on the side, you should rest, today the stew on the stove is fish head tofu, not bad, you go to taste a bowl first, and wait for the good news of the teacher. Lu Zhan took care of the work single-handedly, looking at the girl's little face, which was still a little round, these days, she has lost a lot of weight, and her chin is as sharp as an awl, Lu Zhan couldn't help frowning, isn't the stinky boy making people stewed soup and sending supper every day? Why is the meat still not replenished?
Lan Xi blinked, hiding the dampness and heat in his eyes under a smile, and playfully raised his hand and said, "Order." "Someone spoils her, and she likes to be spoiled.
Of course, washing paintings is not done with white water, special potions are needed, Lan Xi saw the pot of yellow and green water, she didn't know what it was, the materials were all prepared by Lu Zhan, Lan Xi only vaguely recognized that there was a wild vegetable in it, which seemed to be called "purslane". Of course, this washing of the painting is also a very delicate thing, because it is necessary to keep the painting silk and try not to destroy the secret that they think will be on the painting silk.
Although Lu Zhan let Lanxi go down to rest, where can she rest? He sat next to Lu Zhan with an embroidery pier, held his breath, and watched nervously as Lu Zhan carefully immersed the silk painting in the pot of yellow and green water, and after a while, he took out a small brush made of sheep's hair, and brushed it carefully along the lines of the brush. Little by little, the paint was peeled off the silk, little by little, the color of the basin of water became rich and cloudy, and little by little, the painting was stripped of its mottled coat, revealing its true appearance, although it was no longer as white as new, but it was not concealed.
Time passed little by little, Lu Zhan's forehead was sweaty, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it, but carefully continued the movements in his hand until the last bit of paint was wiped off, Lu Zhan took a deep breath and lifted the painting silk from the water that could no longer identify the color.
Only then did Lan Xi realize that he was so nervous that he seemed to have forgotten to breathe, and his chest was suffocating and aching. However, she didn't care about this, and only looked over anxiously......
"The two of you, one dares to think and the other dares to do, you are both bold and fat, you didn't think about it, and you were really blinded by you." Lu Zhan looked at the painting that finally revealed the true face of Lushan under the candlelight, even though he was sweating profusely, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled heartily.
Lan Xi's eyes suddenly became wet, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, which was crying with joy. Turning around, she looked for Geng Xiwu, her eyes met, but her words only condensed into a smile, senior brother, thank you for believing in me!
Geng Xiwu put his hand behind his back, just hooked the corners of his lips, but his eyes seemed to be rubbed into the candlelight, and he became much softer, not breaking or standing, Aqing, you did it.
"Today is April 18, and I will take up my post at the Jiaxing Health Center before the first day of the fifth month, and there are still ten days to go. Without further ado, I'll take Lao Cui and them on a trip tomorrow. After dinner, Lan Xi was about to leave his master and brother and go home, and as soon as he walked under the window, he heard such a sentence coming from the room, and Lan Xi couldn't help frowning quietly.
"The picture shows that the teacher and the girl have carefully consulted, and can only judge that it is south of Tianmu Mountain, what the hell is going on, no one can tell, but you can't be in a hurry, right?" Lu Zhan obviously disagreed.
"Of course I didn't think about it once, I just went to explore the way first."
Lu Zhan was silent for a moment before he said again, "Although there is a map, I am afraid that this treasure hiding place will not be able to get rid of the feng shui array, you don't know anything about it, it is too dangerous." Let's go with you for the sake of the teacher. ”
"No, what kind of mountain are you going into? As I said, I'm just exploring the way back, even if I'm really lucky enough to find it, I won't rush in, don't worry. Geng Xiwu flatly refused.
Lu Zhan looked at Geng Xiwu quietly for a long time, his gaze seemed to be able to perceive people's hearts, and he looked at it calmly If Geng Xiwu was also a little uncomfortable, Lu Zhan looked away and sighed, "Shilang, you have worshipped me as a teacher for more than ten years, do you think that as a teacher, you don't even know a little bit about you?" Since you have washed the painting in a desperate gamble, it is inevitable to enter the mountain this time. How can you rest assured as a teacher? ”
"Master, Senior Brother! Don't fight! Let me go with my brother! Lan Xi thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind, so he walked into the house and interrupted the two arguing.
Geng Xiwu couldn't help but be annoyed, why was he careless for a while, and he didn't even notice that Lanxi was coming? Hearing her words, both the master and apprentice frowned, but before they could speak, they were already interrupted by Lan Xi, "Senior brother doesn't have to press me with any unruliness, and master don't worry." First, Senior Brother must behave well with a person who understands Feng Shui, and this person must be his own person, and the one who can be trusted by you, except for the Master, is me. And Master's current body is not suitable for traveling far, let alone entering the mountains. Second, I used to go out with my master in the past, and the house was all arranged, so I didn't have to worry about any rules and reputation, and no one would know that I had gone elsewhere with my senior brother, and Miss Lan Wu would only accidentally get infected with the wind and cold, and lie in the house for a few days. Third, for the sake of my brother's safety and Master's peace of mind, I must go. Senior brother can also leave me. But that picture has been recorded in my head, and it is easy for me to go out, and if my brother doesn't take me there, I can go by myself. (To be continued.) )
