Chapter 158: Poppy Beauty Opens (2)
Suppressing her gratitude, Rose said, "Brother Jiang, don't worry, I'll go and get the money." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Jiang Tao nodded.
At this time, Feng Jiu came over to him: "Boss Rose, Lao Petrochemical and I are looking for you everywhere." He glanced at Jiang Tao and said softly, "Don't get close to her, otherwise you will eat you." ”
After saying that, he pulled the rose and walked out.
Jiang Tao knows Xiao Tian, and he can be regarded as Rose's new friend. But she couldn't explain to this new friend how she could have a friend like Feng Jiu.
Rose was very, very embarrassed, and turned to wave goodbye to Jiang Tao.
Fortunately, Jiang Tao just smiled and waved his hand to the rose.
Early the next morning, Rose took the money and came to the Flower Gallery again.
Jiang Tao said to Rose: "Rose, I discussed with the boss and temporarily paid the down payment for "Love for a Life" for you, and now the painting is in my house, can you come to my house at night to pick it up?" ”
Not wanting her parents to spend a lot of money on the painting, Rose decided to get the painting back immediately in the evening.
Jiang Tao lives in the west of the city, which was still a wasteland a few years ago, and the occupancy rate here is not high.
Walking along the dark streets, there was silence except for the footsteps of roses.
When you are alone on a quiet, dark street, it is easy to get restless, especially in the middle of the night.
After a few steps, when I passed the corner of the road, I seemed to catch a glimpse of something in the corner of Rose's eye.
She hurriedly stepped back and looked at the place where her eyes had just passed, and there was a woman standing around the corner of the street.
She has a long black dress and long loose hair. His face hung down slightly, and he shook it gently against the wall. The right foot is weirdly bent outward, and the side of the foot is on the ground.
Rose was about to continue walking, when she suddenly heard an inaudible sound.
"Click......
Rose froze for a moment.
When she looked closely, she saw a few drops of blood scattered in front of the woman's toes.
Did she have a nosebleed? Because she couldn't see her front, Rose could only guess.
"Rose." Just as she wanted to walk over and ask, a voice suddenly sounded in front of her, which suddenly startled her.
When I turned around, I saw a door open not far away, and some orange light slanted out of it. Jiang Tao stood at the door and looked at the rose, a young and sunny face under the light. The feeling of giving a rose in an instant turned out to be very similar to Xiao Tian.
"Jiang ...... The eldest brother ...... "came back to his senses, and Rose greeted him."
"Come, come in and sit." He beckoned.
"This young lady doesn't seem to ......," Rose glanced around the corner.
The corner was empty, and the woman who had been there just now was gone.
She shuddered.
Jiang Tao walked up to Rose and glanced in the direction of her gaze: "What are you looking at?" ”
"Nothing." Rose smiled effortfully.
The living room of Jiang Tao's house is like an exhibition room. The kitchen and dining room are all open up, so it's spacious. The walls are covered with paintings, large and small.
Jiang Tao poured a cup of tea for Rose and went to the back room to get a painting for her.
Rose waited as she looked at the painting in front of her. A not-so-bright oblique spotlight slanted from the ceiling to the center of the painting, illuminating the little boy's face vividly, as if he might open his eyes and talk to someone at any moment.
Looking at it, he faintly felt that the little boy suddenly shook as if he was alive, and the door under his feet slowly opened to both sides. A hot gust of wind with a harsh color hit her face, causing Rose's hand holding the glass to freeze in the air.
Inside the door was a barren, scorched sky, and ruined buildings......
Not far away, the size of a football field, a pool of red lava tumbled one after another, and the flames reflected the decadent buildings around them. There is a figure standing by the lava lake, the sea.
"Boss Cang!" Rose rushed over without thinking, but unexpectedly hit her head on something hard, and was immediately bounced back. He sat on the ground with his eyes shining with Venus.
Looking up, Canghai turned his head, frowned slightly, and said softly: "Rose? ”
Rose then rushed forward again regardless of it, slamming the invisible wall hard, tears welling up: "Boss Cang! Boss Cang! I'm here! ”
And he stared, and turned his head back.
Rose woke up and saw herself reclining in her seat.
On the painting not far away, the little boy was still pestled straight on the door frame.
It turned out to be a dream......
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the door to the inner room opened, and a bright light slipped out of it.
Rose subconsciously covered her eyes with her palm, and then saw Jiang Tao walking out of the door holding a painting covered with a white cloth through her fingers.
He looked at me as if he was a little surprised: "Rose, why are you crying?" ”
In front of Jiang Tao, Rose had no scruples. She didn't know if it was because of his same gentle temperament as Xiao Tian, which made her feel particularly relieved. Anyway, cry and talk about it.
When a handkerchief in front of her was soaked with tears, Rose was embarrassed. I cried for a long time in other people's homes, and I made other people's land dirty, and my own skin was really thick.
After Jiang Tao gave Rose a handkerchief, he sat quietly aside, not knowing whether to wander out of the world or listen to her cry patiently. Thinking about his temper, he is really good enough, and he can endure her like a nervous disorder for so long.
"Finished crying?" Seeing Rose looking at him embarrassedly, he asked.
Rose nodded.
He took the teacup of roses and stood up: "Go wash your face, I'll send you downstairs." ”
After washing her face in the bathroom, Rose cheered up and went back to the hall, and when she passed by the master bedroom, she found that the door had opened a palm-sized gap. Through the gap, Rose sees an antique vanity mirror and a beautiful woman snuggled in front of it.
It's the beauty I saw in the flowers that day, and the white waves are together.
She changed into an orange gauze dress, supported her chin, and was frowning and staring at her face in the mirror. The vivid colors are reflected on her face, and the complexion is especially moist and lovely. The face of the silver basin was reflected in the mirror, as delicate as a flower.
Could it be that she and Senior Brother Jiang Tao have ......
Coldly, a voice suddenly sounded in front of him, and said softly: "Rose, I wrapped the painting." ”
Rose was startled by this voice, and hurriedly returned to the living room: "Thank you." “
For the 340,000 paintings, Jiang Tao received 320,000 roses, which he said was the result of his bargaining with Bai Lang.
When the rose had already been confirmed to be purchased, Jiang Tao actually took the initiative to tell Bai Lang about the price of 20,000 yuan, and before he hid it from her, his image in the heart of the rose became tall in an instant.
With a thousand thanks, he went out with the painting in his hand, and he wanted to send the rose out, but the rose refused. There is a beautiful woman waiting in the room, how can you delay the time of the tryst?
Soon we were on the side of the street, and Rose was happily walking out when she almost ran into a girl. A young girl, very youthful looking.
"I don't have long eyes." She gave a blank look at the roses, and she continued down the street.
In a good mood, she didn't care, and Rose took out her money bag and wanted to rent a carriage to go back.
When I touched it in my arms, it was empty, and after thinking about it carefully, it should have fallen on Jiang Tao's house. I had to scold myself while going back to get the money bag.
When I returned to Jiang Tao's house, the door turned out to be hidden.
"Brother Jiang......" shouted.
No one responded, Rose opened the door and walked in, shouting loudly: "Brother Jiang, I forgot my money bag in the bathroom......"
Still no one answered.
Walking to the bedroom door, the door that had been hidden just now was closed tightly. A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and Rose smiled at the door: "I'll take the money bag and leave, I'll close the door for you." ”
After saying that, he walked to the bathroom and opened the door.
Then he froze.
Because in the bathroom, the girl she met by chance on the street just now was kneeling on the ground, holding her throat with both hands, her eyes were white, and her whole body was convulsed. Some inexplicable white smoke was slowly escaping from her, and it swam into the nostrils of the beautiful woman standing in front of her.
And the beauty is smiling, her eyes squinting intoxicatedly, and she paces softly, like a singer singing indulgently on the stage.
This scene was so weird that Rose's first instinct was to run away.
As soon as he turned around, he met Jiang Tao's polite face. Then he raised his hand to clasp her face, and a paralyzing sensation spread down his palm to her brain.
Before losing consciousness, Rose heard him laugh softly: "I have already let you go, but you actually ran back by yourself, it's really providential." ”
Rose's head hurt so badly that it was as if she had fallen asleep. In front of me, there was someone dangling around me. Sometimes it's far away, sometimes it's close.
She tried to open her eyes, but their eyelids weighed a thousand pounds. After carrying it for a long time, I finally vaguely saw the situation around me.
I saw a person, dressed in a dark purple gauze skirt, with hair like a cloud on the side of his ear, and a row of jasmine hairpins obliquely inserted. Holding a small black sandalwood fan, the delicate figure twisted around in front of the colorful glass window, bringing a bewitching fragrance, and the charm of the national color and heavenly fragrance.
Although her vision is still very blurry, she still vaguely recognizes her as the beauty of the flowers. I wanted to talk to her, but I couldn't make any sound in my throat. Rose felt as if her limbs were pressed to the floor, unable to move at all.
Suddenly, a man walked in, it was Bai Lang.
He was wearing a white robe, holding a small box, and walked up to the woman to open the lid of the box: "Fanfan, look." ”
The woman picked up a hairpin from the box and asked, "What is this?" "The voice is mellow, and it sounds like a jade.
"The peacock hairpin in the tomb of the queen and queen matches your skin color very well."
The woman threw the hairpin back into the box, leaned on the windowsill, and looked out the window lonely with a fan: "I don't use things that others have used." ”
Putting the box aside, Bai Lang stepped forward and gently hugged the woman: "Fanfan, are you unhappy?" Why don't I go out for a walk with you? ”
The woman turned her head to look at him: "Eternal life," the woman called him, "I am human, you are a demon, we cannot be together forever." ”
Bai Lang said softly: "Did you go to the theater to watch the legend of the White Snake again?" What shemales can't be together, it's all a lie, aren't we in one place at the moment? ”
"But the corners of my eyes are wrinkled. Eternal life, my beauty is like a poppy at the door, it will wither. Not only will you not like me anymore, but I won't even be able to go back to the troupe to sing. Luckily, I was able to go back to northern Jiangsu to marry a vendor who sold dumplings and spent the rest of my life. Bad luck, I was so hungry that I ran to the Huangpu River and plunged headlong. ”
"Fanfan, no matter what you become, you are my favorite, I will naturally take care of you for the rest of my life, and I will not let you go back to the opera troupe to suffer. Not only in this life, but also in the next life, I will find you, continue to love you, take care of you, you can't hurt your body by thinking nonsense. ”
"No, there is nothing in the next life that cannot be guaranteed at all, I just want to be happy in this life." The woman took out her handkerchief and sobbed softly, "But when I think that in a few years I will have gray hair and wrinkles on my face, I feel that my heart is like ashes, and there is no joy in life, and it is better to die." ”
After being stunned for a long time, Bai Lang said in a deep voice: "Fanfan, don't be sad, I'll help you find a way." ”
"Really?!" The woman was overjoyed and wrapped her arms around Bai Lang's waist, "Eternal life, thank you for loving me so much." ”
Then the picture in front of him became even more blurry, and the figures of the two of them were full of shadows, and they melted into a ball like oil paint. It's a weird feeling, and it's very uncomfortable.
Rose opened her mouth and breathed hard, but until her chest ached from too much force, and the scene in front of her was still chaotic.
So she had to close her eyes and rest for a while, and after a few seconds, when she opened her eyes again, things in front of her were much clearer.
Rose glanced to the side and saw Bai Lang sitting by the window, reading a book carefully with Erlang's legs crossed. A cup of hot tea next to him, filled with a thin layer of mist, rendered his chic eyes with a sense of tranquility.
At this moment, a black shadow floated over from the side and sat down opposite the white wave. Rose saw the thin veil of glass over her head, her blurred face, her red lips as red as blood, and the pure black gauze dress she wore on her.
It turned out to be the girl who went to the Rose Dock with the illustration of "Poppy" that day to ask for help......
"Eternal life." She also shouted Bai Lang softly.
Bai Lang didn't raise his head, slowly turned a page, and asked, "What are you doing here?" The tone seemed a little nonchalant.
The girl said carefully: "There are thirteen old lady corpses thrown by the Huangpu River, you did it." ”
"Why do you bother to ask me again when you're already sure?" Bai Lang's voice faintly revealed some impatience.
Hearing this, the girl raised her voice slightly: "For her immortality, eternal youth?" Birth, old age, sickness and death are the necessary stages of mortal life, eternal life, we are demons, not gods, we cannot interfere arbitrarily, let alone kill innocents for our own selfishness. ”
"I'm doing fair deals with those people, and whatever they want, I help them realize in my dreams. In return, they gave me their youth. Bai Lang's tone was still so lazy, "Shujun, I know you hate Fanfan." If you're here to preach today, please leave. ”
The girl's voice became more urgent: "Eternal life, you must stop. can hide from the sky for a while, but can't hide it from the world. You can't afford to go against the sky. ”
Bai Lang raised his eyebrows: "In that case, it has nothing to do with you." ”
The girl Huo Di stood up, propped her hands on the coffee table, her voice trembled, and she seemed to be about to cry immediately: "Why has nothing to do with me? Eternal life, I am your princess. ”
A woman's tears are a weapon to break a man, provided that the man has affection for a woman. If the man is ruthless, the woman's crying will be useless, and even worse, it will become a joke in the eyes of the man.
At this moment, the girl named Shujun, her whimpering became a joke in Bai Lang's eyes.
I only heard Bai Lang chuckle, as if he had heard something funny: "Shujun, I told you a long time ago that I never loved you." ”
The girl was a little stunned: "But we ......"
"Say no more." Interrupting her words and closing the book, Bai Lang finally raised his head and looked at the girl with those eyes of different colors. His eyes were full of sarcastic smiles, "Shujun, we are already demons, do you know what demons can do?" Demons can taste the love and hate of the world, all good things. The human world is so beautiful, Shujun, don't hide in your world, it will be difficult for you to cultivate a beautiful human form in another hundred years. Don't you never look in the mirror Shujun, walking on the street at night, do people often think of you as a ghost? ”
Hearing this, the girl seemed to be a little at a loss, she looked at Bai Lang in a daze, and her hands were unconsciously clasped together: "I don't care about human form, I like to stay in my own world, and I just want to be with you as a demon." ”
Bai Lang interrupted her again: "I'm sorry, I'm going to shatter your boring fantasies. How did I love you? ”
This seemed cruel to the girl, because she sat on the bench with her legs weak.
"Shujun, I don't love you, don't come to me again." Dropping this sentence lightly, Bai Lang walked out with the book in his arms. The girl was left alone and sat in place, with the cup of cold tea beside her.
Then, the things in front of Rose's eyes became blurry again, and her head became more and more heavy......
After a long time, Rose felt a blur of light in her eyes, and then countless pinprick-like tingles came from her body, causing her whole body to throb violently.
She reached out to rub her face, and then realized that her hand was tied with something, and it was tied tightly.
Reluctantly, she glanced around and saw herself lying sideways in a cramped room, wrapped in layers of blue plastic sheeting like a mummy, with only her eyes and nostrils outside. This made her feel very uncomfortable all over her body, numb, itchy, painful and stuffy. There was a constant buzzing tinnitus in my ears, which was very harsh.
There were several plaster statues lying all around, and the plaster statues were like her, wrapped in blue plastic sheeting. In the corner of the room, there is a black leather sofa, and a girl is lying on a bench.
The girl who had just met her on the street and was bumped into by her in the bathroom was kneeling on the ground in a black dress.
She seemed to be asleep, and there was a slight smile on her lips.
Her mouth was covered tightly with plastic sheeting, and Rose calmed down and told herself not to be afraid. Then he swung his waist vigorously and hit the plaster statue next to him, trying to get the girl's attention.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Bai Lang walked in. Walking up to Rose, he crouched down and smiled as gracefully as Rose had last seen him in the flowers: "Awake? ”
Seeing Rose's eyes pass over him, looking at the girl on the bench from time to time, he reached out and pulled away the plastic sheeting wrapped around Rose's mouth.
Gulps of fresh air poured into Rose's mouth, choking her on a few coughs.
"She is dreaming, her family is rich, she is a beautiful man in a mansion, a very beautiful dream. You must not try to wake her up, once the dream starts, you must not interrupt it, otherwise she will grow old immediately. Without waiting for Rose to ask, Bai Lang took the initiative to explain.
Connecting the events of this time, Rose guessed the approximate situation, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "Just like the woman who grew old in front of so many people in the shop on the street that day?" ”
"It was an accident, I didn't know that the woman was wearing an amulet that had disturbed the dream."
Rose glanced at the girl on the bench, "When she wakes up, she'll get old, won't she?" But sooner or later. ”
"Yes, but she can at least finish the dream." Bai Lang spread his hands, "Oh, don't look at me with hatred, what I do is a fair deal." She gave me something, and I gave her a sweet dream. ”
Profiteers, profiteers through and through.
Rose smiled coldly: "But you didn't tell her that the dream was fake, and this dream was to be exchanged for her precious youth." ”
He smiled: "It's business. ”
"No, you have violated the integrity of a businessman. My family is also in business, Bai Lang, don't quibble with me. "Wanting to stall for time and wait and see, Rose tried to find something to say.
He got up and sat down on the edge of the bench, reached out and grabbed the girl's hair, forced her to raise her head to face his face, and laughed: "Isn't the world just a dream of Brahma, why is Brahma's dream real, and the dream I give to others is false?" Look, how happy this woman is in her dreams, and she doesn't have to work hard to earn a living. I bet she'd rather live in a dream than in the cruel human world. Nan Ke dreamed of living the life of his dreams, and when he woke up, he quickly grew old and died, without having to experience wind and rain. For decades, not all transactions were made under my persuasion, and many women traded with me voluntarily. Pushing the girl's head back onto the bench and looking sideways at Rose, "Our deal was interrupted just now, but I don't mind talking to you again." Want to trade? I'll give you a dream, how? ”
At the moment of thinking, Rose actually vaguely understood the meaning of some of Bai Lang's words. When encountering painful things in reality, it may be really attractive to have a spring and autumn dream comfortably.
Seeing Rose's hesitation, Bai Lang's eyes flashed slightly: "There is no painful life, don't you love?" ”
Because of the weakness in her heart, Rose laughed self-deprecatingly: "Love, it's a pity it's fake." ”
"Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, true and false, false and true. If you say that false is true, it is true. ”
Rose stabilized her mind, ignored the lobbying of this profiteer, and asked, "Jiang Tao is your accomplice?" ”
Bai Lang chuckled lightly, his hands shook in front of him, a warm smile, a sunny expression.
Jiang Tao!
Rose's body was wrapped tightly with plastic sheeting, and her whole body was extremely uncomfortable. At this time, I saw that Bai Lang had turned into Jiang Tao's appearance, and the discomfort in his body turned into anger.
"Liar!" Raising his head vigorously, Rose yelled at him, "You deliberately became Jiang Tao to lie to me?!" ”
He smiled: "No, it's you who chose to believe when you saw a smile, temperament, and figure similar to Xiao Tian." You humans are the same, I'm just thinking about the customer, making it the most reassuring for you, and making your transaction more enjoyable. If I could, I really wanted to completely transform into Xiao Tian's appearance, but unfortunately I was afraid that you would be too scared, so I had to become like this. ”
"Liar!" Rose hated it.
When I saw Jiang Tao in Fanhua, I saw him like Xiao Tian, with a warm smile and a sunny expression. In addition, he said that he was Xiao Tian's classmate, so he easily felt cordial about him.
It turned out that Jiang Tao was simply Bai Lang! (To be continued.) )
