Jin Ruo sat in the room, leisurely admiring the picture scroll left by Xiao Zhuo, the sun was three poles, the blue shadow was slanting, and it seemed that the days were really comfortable. But in fact, in Jinruo's heart, he already hated the old cat to the point of itching.

It's been more than ten days since Xiao Zhuo left!

Jin Ruo calculated in her heart that in the past ten days, she has used various methods to try to find the location of Dongshan Lake from the old cat's actions towards her. If the old cat is eager to stop her in a certain direction, it means that Dongshan Lake is likely to be in this direction, but after a few days, there is basically no result, the old cat always jumped out and caught her back when she was about to leave Yingbo Town, and there was no way to judge the location of Dongshan Lake. But one thing Jin Ruo is clear, the old cat doesn't really have nothing to do with her, it's just that as a spirit clan that has lived for a long time, it has become its habit to be steady, and if it really forces her to death, it will outweigh the losses.

Later, Jin Ruo searched in one direction in a row, and then saw how the old cat reacted. As a result, I don't know if she found the right direction, or the old cat was annoyed by her little trick, and scratched a deep wound on her back with a paw, and then Jinruo could only sit here, recuperating while looking for something to do.

Xiao Zhuo's yard was just cleaned yesterday, but there is still no guarantee that no one will come, because Yan Ying has come several times in these days, and I don't know if it is because I miss Xiao Zhuo too much, or if there are other reasons. And Yan Ying's behavior also made Jin Ruo pay attention to a problem: opposite Xiao Zhuo's yard is Yan Ying's attic, although it is far away, there is no guarantee that Yan Ying will not see anything.

Jinruo looked at the painting quietly, while paying attention to the movement outside, the rustling of cat steps outside made her feel even more bored! She knew the purpose of the old cat, but she couldn't resist it, she couldn't beat it, and she couldn't escape. Especially in the past ten days, Jin Ruo has become more and more aware that something is wrong. At first, the old cat said that she wouldn't want to die in a few days, so she didn't take it seriously, but more than ten days passed, and the old cat still didn't move at all, Jin Ruo felt more and more bad, she had to doubt that the old cat's plan might have something to do with Xiao Zhuo, because in another ten days, Xiao Zhuo should also come back.

If you want to talk about her feelings for Xiao Zhuo, when Xiao Zhuo didn't leave, she always thought that the two were fated to be incompatible, Xiao Zhuo was a mortal after all, at most a passerby in her long life. She had heard a lot of stories about the spirit race's infatuation with mortals, and she had seen a lot, but the results were too poignant, and she had also thought about what kind of fate she would end up with, but falling in love with mortals, the last person wanted to wear it, this kind of result was definitely not what she wanted.

But after Xiao Zhuo left, Jin Ruo looked at the paintings he left behind, but he couldn't help but wonder where he had gone? Is it time to come back, or is on the way back. If the old cat really used Xiao Zhuo as a weight to threaten her, she really didn't know what she would do now!

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, Jin Ruo listened to the cats that were obviously not from spying on her, and when the sound was closer, she had already heard the footsteps of people, so she quickly put down the scroll in her hand. When the door opened, there was no trace of her in the house, only Yan Ying and the maid Liu'er were constantly observing the situation in the house.

Yan Ying didn't want to come here originally, Xiao Zhuo didn't like others to enter his room without permission, she knew this. It's just that on the third night after Xiao Zhuo left, because of the hot and dry weather, she woke up and went to the attic to ventilate, and accidentally found that there was light in Xiao Zhuo's room. After that, every night she secretly looked at the attic, Xiao Zhuo's yard still had bright lights from time to time, she was afraid that she would scare others when she said it, so she came to see it from time to time, as long as there was no shortage of things, she didn't mind being convenient with people.

Today, she was just a female celebrity in her yard, but the maid Liu'er came to tell her that when Chang's mother helped Xiao Zhuo clean the house yesterday, she touched a painting, and a portrait of a woman was painted in the painting, which was painted very carefully, but it was not her.

Who Xiao Zhuo painted, Yan Ying naturally knew in her heart, but Liu Er said that there were still words written on the picture, which she didn't know, she clearly remembered that when she borrowed paintings from Xiao Zhuo, all the paintings were without inscriptions. And when she asked what was written on the painting, Liu Er said that Chang's mother didn't know how to read, so she didn't know what was written. Yan Ying came over just now, and she also wanted to see how obsessed Xiao Zhuo was with the woman in her dreams.

"It's so beautiful! Miss! Who is this painting? Liu Er glanced at the picture and opened her mouth wide in shock. It was the first time she had seen such a beautiful woman, even a few points more beautiful than Yan Ying.

"It's very beautiful, but it's a pity that it's just a dream person!" Yan Ying looked at the inscription next to the painting again, and said with emotion: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, cousin, why bother?" A person who doesn't exist! ”

Yan Ying gently closed the scroll and put it back in its place, picked up another scroll, hesitated again and again, but finally did not open it.

"Miss, why don't you read it?" Liu Er didn't know, Yan Ying obviously came to see the words on these paintings, why didn't she look at one of them anymore.

"It's not me who painted, what can I do after reading it, it's just to add to my troubles, let's go!" Yan Ying put down the scroll and turned around to leave, but the moment she turned around, she looked at the scroll on the table again, and then stopped and walked towards the table.

There is nothing special about this painting on the table, it is still there as always, what is painted in it, she has not seen it, what is written, she naturally does not know. The reason why the swallow warbler is attracted to it is because of the direction in which the painting is retracted. The last time she came here, the painting was obviously rolled to the right, but now it has been rolled to the left, but this fact shows that this room has indeed been visited by people at night, and this kind of thing has happened more than once.

It's just that in her impression, the people who patronize other people's houses in the middle of the night are either chickens and dogs, or benevolent and chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes. Wherever the former goes, he never returns empty-handed, and the latter is purely to find an emergency shelter, but no matter which one it is, it doesn't seem to be a love of painting. Judging from the scene in this room now, the person who patronizes this place at night must be the latter, and he is also a person who loves painting. Thinking of this, Yan Ying was also a little curious about what was painted on the painting on the table, which could attract this chivalrous man to look at it frequently, or rather, the reason why this chivalrous man stayed in Lianyan's house many times was probably because of this painting.

The picture slowly unfolded, and the people in the painting gradually revealed their true faces, as Yan Ying expected, the painting was still painted with the woman in Xiao Zhuo's dream, but this one was obviously different. In other paintings, although the fine brushwork is also very detailed, you can still see obvious ink marks, and the ink is slightly different at the junction between the beginning and the end of the brush. But in front of her, Yan Ying observed for a long time, but she couldn't see where the pen was and where the pen was, from the corners of the clothes and skirts, to the eyebrows, eyes and hair, it all looked so natural, as if this painting was not painted, but grown. If you want to say that the only deficiency is probably the butterfly on the woman's fingertips, because this butterfly is obviously not agile, and the ink is easy to identify, as if it was added later. But even so, if she hadn't always had the idea that 'this is a painting' in her heart, she would have almost thought that this was a real person!

After contemplating and observing for a long time, the more Yan Ying looked, the more difficult it was to remove her eyes, and she became more and more surprised by Xiao Zhuo's painting skills. In her obsession, she suddenly heard a cat meow in her ears, which turned out to be a little flower cat in her arms staring at the woman in the painting and screaming, Yan Ying woke up from her distraction, and at this moment, she saw that the eyes of the woman in the painting seemed to blink slightly.

"Miss! This painting ...... Is it alive? Liu Er asked, and her body unconsciously retreated to the door.

Yan Ying was also taken aback at first, but when she looked at the scroll again, the woman in the painting was still staring at the butterfly on her fingertips, as if the scene just now was really just an illusion. She didn't know how to explain that scene, if she only saw it herself, she could still think that she was too dazzled to see it. But Liu Er also saw it, and she had to wonder if the person in the painting really blinked?

"Liu'er, what's wrong?" Yan Ying stabilized her mind and asked deliberately. Although Liu Er is her personal maid, there is no guarantee that she will not say something strange, she has to eliminate Liu Er's uneasiness first.

"Miss, don't you see? The person in this painting seems to be blinking! Liu Er hadn't recovered from the fright, and stood far away from the scroll.

"No! You've been dazzled for too long! Look at it again if you don't believe it! After Yan Ying finished speaking, she brought the scroll to Liu Er, although Liu Er was far away, but Yan Ying was present, so she took a few closer looks, and sure enough, she didn't blink at the person in the painting.

Yan Ying saw that Liu Er was relieved, so she took back the scroll, slowly rolled it up and put it back on the table, but there was still a little strange in her heart: Why does this painting have no inscription? She came for the inscription in the painting, although she only looked at one painting, but the painting in front of her was obviously more superb than the ones she had seen before, but Xiao Zhuo didn't write anything! Or, Xiao Zhuo didn't inscribe on all the paintings, and what Chang Ma touched was just a painting with words.

Thinking of this, Yan Ying was relieved, since Xiao Zhuo did not have all the inscriptions, it also means that Xiao Zhuo has not been infatuated with the woman in the painting to the point of being unable to extricate herself, anyway, they are all non-existent people, let her stay in Xiao Zhuo's dream!

"Liu'er, let's go." Yan Ying greeted Liu Er and slowly walked out of the house.

Yan Ying had just left, the picture scroll on the table slowly opened, Jin Ruo's figure slowly floated out, and the portrait on the picture scroll also lost its original charm with her drifting away, becoming no different from other picture scrolls.

Jin Ruo's hand gently stroked the scroll, and sighed in her heart Xiao Zhuo's exquisite painting skills, if it wasn't for Xiao Zhuo painting her too similarly, she would not have been able to attach to the painting. However, although she can attach herself to the painting, she cannot integrate into the painting, so she can't keep blinking like the person in the painting, and as a result, she is defeated under Yan Ying's obsessive gaze.

The poem on the painting was erased by Jinruo who didn't want Yan Ying to see it. Because Xiao Zhuo is coming back soon, as soon as Xiao Zhuo comes back, the marriage between Xiao Zhuo and Yan Ying will basically be decided, and Yan Ying will inevitably feel guilty when she sees that poem.

The poems on other paintings express Xiao Zhuo's love for her at most, and judging from Yan Ying's words, Yan Ying knows Xiao Zhuo's thoughts, but she doesn't know that she really exists, so she doesn't mind. And the poem she erased, Xiao Zhuo seems to have made some kind of decision, although she doesn't know what Xiao Zhuo's decision is, but Yan Ying still doesn't know what to do. Besides, she had already rejected Xiao Zhuo, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble to Xiao Zhuo, so what she had to do now was to leave here as soon as possible before Xiao Zhuo came back.
