Chapter 289: Reloading Phnom Penh
The two men who were stunned were of course the two John Bulls, Dawson and Lynch. Now the two of them are looking up at the triptych in front of them, and the two of them are worried about themselves, while watching the two of them still draw crosses in their hearts with their hands from time to time, and mutter: Lord, God and something like that.
Originally, when the two arrived in Shicheng, they were beaten with a second stick, and when they ran to the gate of Shiyi, they saw the banner at the gate of the school, and listened to the translator read out the words, and the two of them knew that they had already known the road here, but fortunately, the two were not ready to run to Shiyi to exploit loopholes and dig spoons. After looking at three of Fang Yi's college entrance examination works, two of them turned to Fang Yi's high school, and naturally saw a larger banner at the door, three floors in a row, and then the school gate was still hung with colorful flags flying in the wind. Of course, I inevitably went to visit Fang Yi's homework in high school.
Of course, I also heard that there are a few retired teachers who have Fang Yi's homework at home, Dawson and Lynch have also visited the door, and have also seen this part of the works, if Dawson comments that these works are painted well, the ability to realistic has begun to appear, but no matter how good these works are, they are also studies, and now Fang Yi is only in his twenties, and some have time to complete his own works, and bring a study back to Europe, will anyone buy it? Whoever has the money will buy a study and still a living painter's study.
After squatting in Stone City for four or five days, and didn't find out who still had Fang Yi's works, Dawson and Lynch had to follow Li Yiyi to Suzhou together, preparing to look at Fang Yi's largest work in China, a triptych of huge altarpieces. After reading this, Dawson and Lynch are ready to go back to the UK directly through Pearl, and don't waste any more pounds here. It has increased China's GDP.
Now the two of them looked at the triptych in the middle of the church, where would they believe that the triptych inlaid with intricate patterns with gold edges would be made by Fang Yi, and Fang Yi's study in high school was more charming than this work! If only Fang Yi had drawn something of this level. Not to mention opening a school of painting in the world, he is dead in this life, and he can't die anymore. Any student from the Academy of Fine Arts is better than this work!
The fat-headed and big-eared ones make people look at Christ who wants to vomit, the Virgin with a bitter gourd face, and the Son who is stupid and stupid, who seems to come out with a smile and snot, and then everyone has a circle of light behind their heads, and the circle is drawn a little better. In Dawson and Senki's eyes, these people were like a plastic basin stuck in the back of their heads.
"Father!, is this work by Fang Yi?" Dawson couldn't help himself and watched a man dressed as a priest walked over. He directly pulled and asked.
The false pastor of the church lost his mind when he heard the word father! I didn't understand this word without understanding anything else, I looked at the foreigner in front of me, and thought to myself: What's wrong with this foreigner, call me dad when you see me! Do I look like you? And that's not the right age. You look older than I am. Why do you call me dad as soon as you come up!
Dawson didn't know that the priest in the church was not a real priest, and he also came to work from 9 to 5. Not only are he not real priests, but he has hardly read any English versions of the Bible, so he has no idea that the words "father" and "father" can be used interchangeably.
"Father! May I ask if the above work is from Fang Yi's hand? Translator Li asked the false priest.
The false priest opened his mouth and said, "I don't know who Fang Yi is, but the current picture is Old Man Yu from Suzhou." Draw according to the previous one! But now our boss is arguing with Old Man Yu, which is the last painting of the bar! ”。
Translator Lee translated the false priest's words to Dawson.
Dawson was a little confused. Priest's boss? Isn't that God? I didn't have time to dwell on this question, so I asked Li Translator again: "Where is the painting in front now?" ”。
"It's in the government, where can I know this!" The false priest opened his mouth and said.
Dawson listened and asked, "How is the government going?" ”。
The false priest talked about the road to the city hall, and then Dawson, along with Lynch and Translator Lee, walked towards the door.
As soon as the three of them reached the door, they saw a trailer parked at the door of the church, and the workers inside were carrying three wooden planks.
Along the gap wrapped in cotton, Dawson saw a small piece of oil paint!
"This is an oil painting?" Dawson asked as he opened his mouth to the plank mover.
"Of course! It's the work of a famous artist, and now we're putting it back on the table! "This time, it's a civil servant who is carrying a triptych of woodcuts! It's almost over, and the painting is back in the church! Of course, coming back now doesn't mean that you won't leave in the future, in fact, this work will be shipped away in less than a few hours here, so put it away! Now I am just waiting for the leaders to take a look, take a photo by the way, and recover the national property!
Listening to what the person carrying the painting said, Li Translator guessed a little clue, and after relaying it, of course, Dawson also knew the truth, and immediately opened his mouth to ask, "Is it Fang Yi's work?" ”。
When the person carrying the painting heard Li Yi's question, he opened his mouth and said, "Hmm! It's that Fang Yi's painting! ”。 It looks like two foreigners! The person carrying the painting patiently spoke to the interpreter, if he hadn't let the three of them go aside, he wouldn't have seen that I was busy here!
As soon as the man carrying the painting said this, the three of them followed back to the church.
Several people carried the painting into the church, and then another person directed the painting on the altar to be moved, and directly put down and began to take the gilt border around it! When I took it, I was not as gentle as when I lifted Fang Yi's work, and a few feet stepped on the panel where the painting was painted from time to time, and when the feet left, the half-deep and half-shallow footprints were still left on the painting.
Removing the frame and pedestal, these people carefully opened the first plank under the command of one person, and Fang Yi's work was displayed in front of Dawson and Lynch.
"Conceived Notice" Dawson gently spit out a sentence from his mouth, then stood up and walked to the front of the plank, staring intently at the two figures on the painting, for a believer, the above characters Dawson did not know how to say, the Virgin and the Archangel Bacarlet, and intently savored the movements and demeanor of the two, as well as the body language.
"It's incredible that someone who has never been to Europe can paint like this!" Dawson muttered, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lin Ban shake a little.
"Be careful! Do you know what Lu Dao is carrying in his hand? Suddenly, Dawson screamed, and English burst out of his mouth.
A few people who were pretending to be gilt were taken aback by Dawson's words! Glancing at this foreigner, some people frowned. At this time, Li Translator looked at the angry faces on these people's faces, stopped translating, and said to a few people: "The painting is the Virgin Mary and Bajali, foreigners believe this!" ”。
Lynch was also standing with his boss at this time, and the two foreigners just looked at the painting, which was re-framed with gilt lines, and then installed on the pedestal. watched the three works be loaded, and then helped these civil servants to set up the altar together.
When the three paintings were placed side by side on the altar, Dawson took a few steps back and stood in front of the first row of wooden chairs in the church to look at the three works.
Through the window, the sunlight from the outside shines in, and the particles in the air become scattered, and the light in front of the altar seems to cast a layer of light and shadow in front of the work!
Looking at these three works, when Dawson's eyes focused on the statue of Christ in the center, the expression on his face became serious, one hand supported the long chair next to him, Dawson knelt on one knee on the ground, and whispered: "Our Father in heaven, may all people honor your name and holy ......."
When Dawson first began to read the prayer, Lynch also knelt down on one knee and prayed with his boss.
The two foreigners just faced the work on the altar and whispered, the first word both in lockstep. The focused look quickly infected the people next to him, although he didn't understand what the two foreign devils were talking about, but from the looks on the faces of the two, he could feel the piety in their hearts.
Everyone, including the false priest, fell silent at this moment, and only the prayers of two foreign devils could be heard in the quiet church.
At this time, surrounded by a group of people outside the church, Mr. Mayor walked in, and when he saw two foreign ghosts kneeling at the end of the two rows of benches, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Raising his hand to the person behind him, Mayor Zhou just stood at the door, quietly watching the two foreign devils pray.
The others turned their heads to look at the mayor, but Dawson and Lynch on the ground were unmoved, still praying in their mouths.
"Amen!" After Dawson and Lynch finished saying the word, they got up from the ground, looked at the statue of Christ in the center, sat down on the chairs on either side, and immersed themselves for four or five seconds with their heads bowed before standing up.
Mayor Zhou stepped forward with a smile on his face and greeted the two foreigners.
"These are Mr. Dawson and Mr. Lynch from England! I am engaged in the research and trading of paintings in the UK, and I came to see Mr. Fang Yi's works! Translator Li smeared a little powder on his face and introduced Mayor Zhou.
Since foreign friends are here to see the work,. Even if the mayor has a question in his heart: Fang Yi is so fierce now, let foreigners chase after him to see the work? Mayor Zhou also asked with a smile: What is the impression of the two foreign friends on Suzhou.
Dawson said, "This triptych is great, and the church is good!" It's one of the best altar works I've ever seen! Because he convinces us of God's existence, and he is not far away from us in our years! ”。 After saying this, he said: "Suzhou is not bad! Very nice and clean! ”
Mayor Zhou listened to Xiao Li's translation in his mouth, and was very satisfied with the two foreigners' praise of Suzhou, and took a photo with two British friends.
"Who painted this! It's just blasphemy against God, and the one who paints it deserves hell! The fat and bloated Christ, the Virgin with the eyes of a dead fish, and the demented Son are all praises to describe it as a work! ”。
Listening to the translator say this, Sun Chengfu, who was following the mayor, felt a little laughed and angry, and some of his face was red because of the matter of snatching the painting, knowing what was painted on the painting, but he didn't laugh out loud. (To be continued......)
