Chapter 179: My Only Salvation
Undoubtedly, Phyllis needed to find something that was a testament to the sheer family's ancestors who had left over from her ancestors who had taken charge of the Hill family, as well as top-secret information that she could better control and use them.
Just like the spiritual power that unlocks the seal of the family's foundation, if this spiritual power is missing, her use of those hole cards will be greatly reduced. Similarly, if the spiritual power to break the seal is found, all of Phyllis's hiding places now will be violent. Exposed.
I couldn't find the top or bottom of the shelves, so I took my nerve and swept my eyes over the huge oil paintings on the walls and landed on the cabinets by the walls......
In a short time, the desk, the antique cabinet, and even the wine cabinet were all rummaged through one after another, including carefully checking for hidden compartments and mezzanines, but the expected items were not found at all.
Twisting my brow in frustration, I shifted my gaze to the safe in the corner, stared at it for a moment, and then shook my head.
I don't think a safe that takes a little time to open will do anything if the wise leader of the Hill family thinks that a room where the keys are carefully hidden can't protect the family secrets.
If anything, there is a dark room in this room?
I began to look closely at every inch of the wall, but I couldn't find any gaps or joints, and when I hit the wall, I didn't make a hollow sound.
Now, I have to sigh and have nothing to do.
It's not okay, isn't it?
He thinks he knows the Hill family well and thinks carefully. Am I going in the wrong direction from the start?
It was an unacceptable mistake, and I was looking around with a shallow look. When I saw the gramophone on the table not far away, I walked over with curiosity.
It's an old British gramophone, and I think about it, but Phyllis hasn't gotten it yet, and I don't know where to start. No matter how depressed you are, it won't help, it's better to get rid of your troubles for a while.
I went to the bookcase I had rummaged through and pulled out a few records from the upper level. Placed on the phonograph turntable, the stylus is laid down, and the music flows out shallowly.
It was an ethereal and slow tune that immediately calmed down the breath of the room. Unfortunately, there are no windows here. Otherwise, it is commensurate with the distant and lonely night sky.
I leaned casually against the edge of the table beside me. Directly opposite is a large canvas that hangs from a large room and obscures most of the walls.
I didn't look closely at it just now because I was too anxious, but this painting should depict the scene of a large gathering of the Hill family, and the glittering Grand Ballroom was full of gentlemen and ladies standing in fragrant clothes and sideburns, raising glasses and talking, sometimes attentive, sometimes calm. It is not difficult to see from the familiar characters in the picture that the attendees include some members of the Furkmins family, as well as members of the Lee family, who also work for the Falk family with the Hill family, and some close friends.
The portrayal is meticulous and vivid. I couldn't help but come to the portrait and look back in time. Searching through the old people in the painting, it is as if you have experienced the scene of the past again, and even the beautiful music in the hall at that time can be clearly heard.
I saw my beautiful and noble mother, who hardly needed to be found, and whose unique temperament was the most dazzling presence in the whole banquet. She stood in the crowd in a royal blue gown, her hair was elegantly coiled, and the corners of her lips were soft and shallow, even if she was surrounded by people with extraordinary manners, she was in the middle of it.
Gazing at the mother in the painting, her eyes are like the deep sea, and her elegant and smiling appearance is as beautiful as at the beginning, as if she will come out of the painting, slightly open her lips and call me gently.
Weaving, weaving......
I also slowly let out a gentle smile, just looking at it like this, my whole body was wrapped in endless warmth, which lasted for a long time.
"Im.sailing.on.this.terrible.ocean (I float alone in that silent deep sea)
Ive.come.for.myself.to.retrieve
Too.long.have.I.been.feeling.like.Lirs.children
And.theres.only.one.way.to.be.free (and your smile is the only way to redeem me) ......"
The lyrics whispered, so clear in the helpless silence that I had finally dared to admit for so long.
Mother, Mother, if you see me as I am, will you be my only salvation? Are you willing to accompany me to forget those trance debts?
Only you, looking at you holy and loving, can baptize my soul until it is as pure as ever.
I wiped away the tears that had crept down from my eyes, and my mind slowly calmed down, and my eyes moved to my father, who was standing not far away, the majestic and fierce head of the Falk family, his deep and submissive posture like a real king, I smiled again, my father's stern but loving appearance seemed to never be far away.
Immediately, I saw Zosi and me at that time, and I vaguely remembered that it was the centennial celebration of the Hill family, and it was no wonder that even several of the most important elders of the Flemmings family were present.
This classic work must have been written by Mr. Hill, who had long heard of his excellent workmanship, and now it is truly impressive.
I gazed intently at the painting, and at some point a person was standing next to me.
I looked back, but I wasn't surprised.
Si Tianzhe smiled at me, and after treating the wound, he had already changed into another outfit, and turned to look at the oil painting carefully.
"At that time, it must have been your happiest time, right?" He stared at the picture and said suddenly.
I hooked my lips, "yes." ”
"Your mother is beautiful." His gentle and clear voice seemed to flow into his heart, "You are very much like her, but," he looked at me, "it is the temperament of my aunt that makes people feel more kind." ”
I laughed, "I don't think I can argue with that." ”
After a moment, he shifted his gaze to the room and glanced at it, "Didn't you find it?" ”
"Hmm." I sighed slightly and watched as he stared silently at the safe.
I immediately found it amusing, and looked at him with no lack of amusement.
He came back to his senses and said with a smile in his voice: "Don't worry, I don't have the skill of prying the safe, besides, I don't think things will be placed here." ”
"But," he frowned slightly, his tone turned thoughtful, "have you noticed that there are some problems with this painting?" ”
"Oh?" I was very surprised, and I looked at it carefully, but I didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Interesting."
Even the eyes are as soft as water,
My eyes were immediately drawn to the beautiful appearance of the woman in the painting, full of classical oriental temperament, as if she was the person she loved as far as her eyes could see. She sat quietly in her chair with her hands folded, and the sunlight through the window shrouded her, and the whole picture seemed quiet and beautiful. (To be continued.) )
