Qin Ming and I never expected that the person Leng Ao mentioned was actually Aunt Man. I could see a flash of displeasure in Qin Ming's eyes when he said Aunt Man's name, but he still agreed to Leng Ao's suggestion, and we asked Aunt Man for all kinds of information about the painter. He seemed to have something else to say, but after all, he still hesitated a little and said, "When the time comes, you will naturally know that such a famous painter will always leave behind all kinds of legends." ”

And Aunt Man's attitude undoubtedly confirmed our suspicions, when Ling Feng was mentioned, she seemed a little surprised, but when the painter was mentioned, Aunt Man stuck out her tongue like a child and said, "Oh my God, why did you ask about that strange old man?" I seem to have met him a few times and heard some legends about him, and he was so strange that he locked himself in that basement all day...... Although it was disrespectful to him to say this, he was notoriously weird. I'm not the only one who says this about him, just ask those who are contemporaries and you'll come to the same conclusion as I do. ”

"Weirdos?" Although this conclusion does not make us feel strange, but from Aunt Man's mouth, it is a little incredible, she seems to be well-informed, and I am afraid that there are more than a few "weirdos" I know, "How strange can he be?" ”

"It's all about his character...... Don't you know that he has always been called a 'strange master' in the art world? I think the so-called 'weird' is not only his painting style, but also his temper. Aunt Man instantly seemed to have returned to her youth, and she said with a smile on her face. Haven't you all seen Ling Feng? I didn't see her much, but I already thought she was strange, but when you compare her to the painter she was, it was nothing. But...... I think you're in the wrong place, and it's not me you're asking about this issue, it's Ling Feng's children. Aren't they all in the city these days? Why not take this opportunity to talk to them? ”

"Why don't you talk to me?" Our conversation was interrupted. I saw Lin Lin, who was wearing a cheongsam, appeared in front of us, with high heels on her feet, and smiled at us: "I heard that you are here, so I rushed over immediately." I didn't expect you to be there. If I don't come here. You're going to be in a hurry. ”

This sudden uninvited guest made us all stunned, and even Aunt Man was stunned for a while before reacting. Lin Lin seemed to know very well what we were thinking, and said slowly: "I heard Mr. Zhu talk about these recent things, senior brother...... Called me again. That's why I'm here in a hurry. I say I can help you...... But I don't even know about myself. How can I help you? ”

She had more to know than she thought she could be. Especially in the past year, Ling Feng has asked her to do too many things, and even many of them are related to Ling Feng's past. Until we mentioned that painting. Lin Lin shook her head slightly and said, "That's actually the painting she doesn't want to mention the most." I always thought it was because of Becky. After all, it was because of what she said that she said radically that led to Xiaobei's tragedy. Even when I first appeared, she didn't want to mention anything about that painting again. ”

"In your opinion, why did she react so violently in the first place?" Unexpectedly, the first person to ask questions would be Leng Ao, he looked at Lin Lin very seriously and asked, "As Zhao Xiaobei's family, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"I also think she did overreact. In fact, compared to what happened later, her reaction at the time did greatly exceed everyone's expectations. Maybe it's because she understands Ling Feng, so Lin Lin's expression becomes so relaxed when she says these things, "That painting has always been the last thing she wants to mention, although I don't know the reason, but I can guess one or two." Because every spring, she seems to become a little restless. And...... As you know, sometimes our company is in the city and inevitably passes by the famous haunted building, but every time the driver will take a detour, although it is a little closer. I used to ask the driver privately later...... They said it had become a common practice, and every driver who wanted to go around the neighborhood was transferred. Those people also repeatedly told me not to mention that building in front of Mr. Feng, that was her taboo? ”

"Did she say why?" I asked curiously. The old man who has entered his twilight years, what else can't be seen? What other knot would make her care so much? Why would he or she be so careful? Could it be that those rumors outside, true and false, still hide the truth to some extent?

"It's all in vain if you ask, because I don't know very well." Lin Lin frowned, and after a while, she continued: "But she said one thing, and now it has really come true. That is, she said that Chen Jianye would do everything possible to move back to that house after that,...... Now it seems to be true. ”

Lin Lin was silent after saying this, as if she was thinking about how to say what was going to happen next. It wasn't until she drank the tea in the cup that she spoke slowly: "However, once she discussed the painting painted by Zhao Xiaobei in front of me. She said that she imitated the painting very similarly, and had quite her own style, but at one point, it seemed so imperfect that it was even unbearable for her, and she was referring to the woman in the painting. ”

"The woman in red? Is there really such a person? Leng Ao asked in surprise on the side, his eyes widened, and he couldn't wait to pull Lin Lin in front of him and ask again.

Lin Lin nodded very seriously: "There will be no mistake, she said it herself." She didn't mention the woman's name, only that it was someone she knew. When she mentioned the woman, she just said something particularly interesting: 'A rose with thorns'. ”

"'Thorny roses'?" I was stunned, and the mysterious old woman appeared in my mind inexplicably, "Is that all?" Did she mention anything else? ”

"That's all...... At that time, she seemed to regret it very much, smiled at me and waved her hand and said, 'I'm all old things, so don't think about it anymore, it's always easy to get sad if you think too much'. (To be continued.) )
