Chapter 15 Calligraphy and Painting

Seeing that Ye Tian refused to admit it, Liao Haode fell silent, and after walking dozens of meters away, he suddenly said: "Ye Tian, don't you want to know what I found six hundred steps away from the head of the village?" ”

Ye Tian had been guessing about this, and after hearing Liao Haode's words, he blurted out, "What did you find?" ”

"Haha, still refuse to admit that you said that?"

Liao Haode laughed loudly when he heard this, but thinking about himself as a person in his fifties and sixties, he was also slightly red when he wanted to be tempted by a child.

"How's that going? When a child speaks, it can't be a real ......" Ye Tian pursed his lips, playing a scoundrel is also a child's patent.

"Hey, you little guy, you won't eat at all......"

Liao Haode shook his head helplessly and said: "After I heard Xiaolong's words from you, I went home and asked the old man about it, six hundred steps from the head of the village, where the ancestral grave of my surname Liao was originally located.

However, there was no monument erected after my mother's death, and the grave had already been leveled, even if I knew where my mother was buried, I couldn't find the specific location, so I came to ask you for help, this little fairy? ”

After returning from the market, Liao Haode specially invited several elders in the village to go to the village with him to check, and an old man remembered on the spot that this piece of land full of corn was where the ancestral grave of the Liao family was located.

Because the descendants of the Liao family are no longer in the country, and the relatives of the side branch did not dare to come here to burn paper graves in that turbulent era, so decades have passed, and they have slowly been forgotten.

Found his ancestral grave, Liao Haode was excited for a while, but then he became distressed, just knowing this, it is not enough, you know, the ancestors of the Liao family are buried here for more than ten generations, even including Liao Haode's grandfather.

Without the exact burial place of his mother, Liao Haode did not dare to dig rashly, this is for the joint burial of his parents, in case the bones of his ancestors are dug up, then even his dead father will not be able to explain to his ancestors.

So after walking around that piece of land for two days, Liao Haode finally thought of Ye Tian again, since that little guy can know the purpose of his return to China and point out the location of the ancestral grave, it shouldn't be difficult to find his mother's coffin, right?

After thinking about it left and right, Liao Haode found Guo Xiaolong, but Guo Xiaolong didn't know where Ye Tian lived, so he asked the comrades of the United Front Work Department to find Yu Haoran to come to Ye Tian's house.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Ye Tian tilted his little head and thought for a while, and said, "Grandpa Liao, I can only see so many things from your face, if you can't find it, I can't do anything......

"This ...... You can tell me from my face alone, and now you don't even ask my mother's name and eight characters, and you say that you can't find my mother's grave, little one, you lie again......

Liao Haode is not so easy to fool, and he is not dismissive because of Ye Tian's young age, there are many strange people and strange things in this world, and Ye Tian has already shown his magical place.

"Grandpa Liao, I hurt my vitality yesterday, and I really can't help you......"

Ye Tian shook his head, and after seeing the disappointed look on Liao Haode's face this time, he smiled secretly, and then said: "I can't help you, but my master can, he is the descendant of the contemporary Mai lineage, feng shui is comparable to divination and physiognomy, and no one in the country can match it......"

"Really?" Liao Haode was in good spirits, the little ones are so powerful, do the old ones still need to ask.

"Of course, my master is over a hundred years old......"

"Let's go, let's go quickly, let me visit the old immortal......" Although he was a little dissatisfied with what Ye Tian said about being over a hundred years old, Liao Haode still sped up his pace, and his heart was full of expectations.

Maoshan in summer is full of flowers, the trees are luxuriant, the scenery is very charming, a few children stop and go, the original half-hour mountain road, until noon, only arrived at the Taoist temple in the middle of the mountainside.

And the beard and hair are all white, and the complexion is like that of a young man, and he really did not disappoint Liao Haode, although he has not talked about it deeply, but just looking at this appearance, it definitely looks like a virtuous person.

"Stinky boy, what are you running around with your illness yet? Reach over and ......"

Lao Dao also felt a little surprised that Ye Tian suddenly came running, although he saw that the apprentice looked good, he still gave Ye Tian a pulse, and felt that the pulse was beating steadily and powerfully, so he put his mind at ease.

"Master, it's this Grandpa Liao who is looking for you, but he came back from the United States, and he said that he wanted to donate a donation to our temple......

Ye Tian's words made Liao Haode a little crying and laughing, but he didn't refute it, if the old Taoist in front of him could really help him fulfill his father's wish, then donating eight thousand yuan is nothing to his current net worth.

"I have heard the name of the old fairy for a long time, and I came to visit today, and I hope that it is not strange......" Liao Haode will of course say beautiful words, but whether to donate money depends on whether the other party has the ability to take it.

After greeting Lao Dao, Liao Haode said to his cousin: "Feng, a few of you go over there to play, and Ye Tian's children will stay first......"

The children of this meeting are still very obedient to adults, and after hearing Liao Haode's words, they all followed the young man named Feng Guo to watch those craftsmen repair the Taoist temple.

"Master, what are your big boxes in? How come I've never seen this before? ”

Ye Tian found that there were three large red wooden boxes next to Lao Dao, each of which was more than half a meter high, but the color on it was slightly dim, and the paint color fell off in many places, which should be something that was some years old.

However, Ye Tian is curious and curious here, this Taoist temple is not big, he has already touched it before and after, but he has never seen these boxes.

"You kid sleeps on it every day, and you say you haven't seen it?"

Lao Dao laughed when he heard this, he put these boxes against the wall together, and built a layer of bricks outside, so that the objects in the boxes were completely preserved, if it wasn't for the Taoist temple to be overhauled, he wouldn't necessarily take it out.

"What is this?"

Ye Tian stretched out his hand and lifted up a box, and after seeing the objects inside, he couldn't help but pause, "Master, what are you doing in this roll of paper?" ”

The box that Ye Tian opened had a small cloth bag in the four corners, and there was dry lime sewn inside, which was used to prevent moisture, and in the middle of the box, there were scrolls of different lengths and rolled together.

After picking up the top scroll and spreading it out, Ye Tian suddenly shouted: "This ...... It's a painting......"

The size of this painting is not large, about 40 centimeters long, only 30 centimeters wide, on the banner of more than one foot, there is only one crab and two shrimps, it seems to be a few rough strokes, but the crab and shrimp are painted vividly, unusually expressive.

In the lower left corner of this painting, there is also a line of seal script, written "gift to the elder brother" such words, although there are only a few numbers, but the strokes are vertical and horizontal, concise and spicy, inside and outside, the knot is natural, majestic and vigorous but also smart, just like the crab in the painting, quite show the skill of pen and ink.

The place where this small banner is written is "Baishi made in the ninth year of the people", and there is a bright red seal below, engraved with three small seals of "Baishi Weng".

"Master, who is this white stone? It's so nice......"

Ye Tian was a little fascinated, he was very familiar with fish and shrimp, this painting was like a photo, fully showing the charm of crabs and shrimps, as if he had seen the real thing.

After hearing Ye Tian's words, Lao Dao stretched out his head to look at the painting, pouted, and said, "Qi Baishi? It's a down-and-out painter, this guy is not authentic, the old way calculated a hexagram for him, this old boy refused to pay the hexagram, so he took a few broken paintings and mortgaged them......"

Although Qi Baishi said that it was worthless, but the old Taoist look was a little proud, Qi Baishi did leave a lot of paintings, but there were very few who signed it to me and I was still alive.

It's just obvious that Lao Dao is wrong this time, Ye Tian didn't know who Qi Baishi was at all, and after hearing his words, he rolled up the painting casually, put it in the box, and copied out a gray cloth folded into a square from the bottom.

"The iron mouth is straight off, a thousand gold?! Zhang Daqian's book? Haha, Master, do you still have the outfit you used to walk the rivers and lakes back then? ”

Ye Tian unfolded this piece of cloth, but it was a curtain about one meter two long and sixty centimeters wide, and a few words were also written on it, but as soon as Ye Tian saw this word, he couldn't help laughing.

Whether it is looking at the face or fortune telling, there is always a line to walk the rivers and lakes, this kind of cloth curtain supported by a wooden stick in the hand, called a fortune-telling flag, some people call it "flat gold", is an indispensable line for fortune-tellers who walked the streets in the early years.

The fortune teller who Ye Tian saw in the market a few days ago also had such a line in front of his stall, which was written on Mai Shensu, which played the same role as this object, but the words on it were not as good as this.

"Stinky boy, you know a fart, if you take out this thing, you can change a house in the county right away, and I'm so angry with the old man......"

Hearing Ye Tian's words, and seeing his smug appearance again, Lao Dao was so angry that he almost didn't catch his breath, and the things he had painstakingly saved were actually worthless in the eyes of his apprentices?

"Cut, Master, who are you blinding, I can also write calligraphy, not necessarily worse than these words......"

Ye Tian pursed his lips when he heard this, a house in the county costs thousands of yuan, take such a footcloth to exchange? Fools would do such a thing.

"Old ...... Sir, you ...... Your handwriting, is ...... Was it written by Zhang Daqian? ”

Before Ye Tian's words fell, the curtain in his hand was snatched by Liao Haode beside him, and he took it in his hand and examined it carefully.

Liao Haode's father was born in a literati, and it can be regarded as a family origin, and the reputation of the two modern celebrities, Bai Shi and Zhang Daqian, is like thunder.

When he saw Qi Baishi's painting just now, Liao Haode hadn't reacted yet, and when he saw Zhang Daqian's words again, he forgot even the original intention of coming to find Lao Dao.
