55 Portraits
The woman asked Cuihu to sit on a stool, and when Cuihu saw that the woman had brought only one stool, he asked, "Can I draw while standing?" ”
Under the shroud of black yarn, the woman should have smiled and said, "Yes." ”
So the woman sat on the stool by herself, looking up and down at the Cuihu with a pair of clear eyes, ready to capture the moment when the Cuihu was more powerful and tall.
But Cuihu was still carrying two big cakes in his hands, no matter how he looked at the image, he couldn't be mighty, Cuihu was a little embarrassed by the woman's look, but he soon realized this, so he put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky.
In the past, when he was in a hotel, he often saw the figures in the ink paintings painted by some literati and rioters, most of them in this posture, as if they were floating outside the object.
Tietou and Li Yuhong saw that Cuihu went to the opposite side, and they didn't care at first, but when they saw Cuihu on the other side, looking up at the sky, standing with his back hand, he should have asked the woman next to him to help him paint, the appearance was very funny, and he couldn't help but watch Lehe next to him.
Seeing Cuihu like this, the woman couldn't help it, and laughed out loud, but immediately felt that it was very rude to treat the guests like this, and felt suffocated again.
can see the posture of her whole body trembling slightly, obviously it is also very hard.
Cui Hu had never painted a portrait before, so he wondered in his heart, and he turned his head and asked the woman, "Is there anything wrong with this lady?" ”
"I didn't ...... No, ahem...... I'll draw it for you right away. ”
Cuihu thought to himself that the weather was so cold, did he still have to grind? Wouldn't that freeze into ice cubes so quickly?
But seeing that the woman took out a pen from her sleeve, it was not the brush he imagined, but a bit like the green daisy pen used by his sister Cuifeng's thrush.
When the woman looked at the emerald tiger again, her eyes became calm and focused. Cui Hu also took the opportunity to look at the woman in front of her, with a pair of sparkling eyes, black gauze covering, and a washed white skirt that looked a little shabby.
Some of the tattered places are patched, but they are decorated in the shape of plum blossoms by this ingenious woman, adding a bit of vividness and loveliness. The slightly thin body shape makes people feel a little more pity.
Tietou and Yuhong had eaten almost enough, and sat opposite each other while resting, and whispered amusement. Yuhong said: "Tietou, you said that Brother Cuihu did this, isn't it authentic?" When he saw a young woman on the other side, he went up without saying a word. Why do you have to think about the iron head first, aren't you? ”
"Yuhong, don't make up Brother Cuihu, he's not that kind of person."
"What kind of person? I said iron head, you have to come on, or the daughter-in-law will be picked away by others. ”
"I have someone I like."
"Yo, this is the first time I've heard of it, come on, let's hear it, who's it, let our sister-in-law help you match it when the time comes."
The iron head smothered his head, and he didn't speak anymore.
After a short time, a group of people came from the street, shouting and screaming as they walked.
Walking in front were three young men in brocade robes, followed by several subordinates dressed in black and gray. In the distance, a strong smell of wine hit.
When the gang saw that someone was painting here, they gathered around, and when they found out that the painter was a woman, they couldn't stop talking.
"Little lady~, would it be good to draw a portrait of your brothers?"
When the woman saw these people talking fluently, she felt a little disgusted in her heart, but she couldn't afford to provoke these people because they were either rich or expensive; Second, it can be regarded as a business door-to-door, so it is difficult to refuse, so I can only say: "A few Lang Jun, please be patient." ”
A young man looked at Cuihu's outfit and couldn't help but raise his head arrogantly: "Hey, a stupid big guy has something to draw, let's draw it first!" ”
Cuihu frowned after hearing this, but still said to the woman: "Why don't you paint them first, I'm not in a hurry, I can paint later." ”
"No, I won't take their paintings." She could already sense that these people were deliberately finding fault.
"Little girl, don't be embarrassed, let you paint a picture of your brothers and put gold on your face."
"I'm still wearing a veil in broad daylight, what's the matter, what's so ugly."
"It's a cold day, why don't you go home with your brothers, it's warm there, and you can paint casually."
"Yes, yes, yes, this is good, when the time comes, you help me draw a big golden gun, and I will help you draw a double white rabbit, but I don't know how big your rabbit is, hehehehe......"
"Wouldn't it be better to draw the gut battle between you and Xiao Jingui, Brother Zhang?"
"Don't scare the little lady, people haven't seen that scene yet, you have to take it slowly, don't you? Hahaha! ”
Foul language kept pouring out of the mouths of these gentlemen, and the house slaves shouted and cheered on them.
There were people on the side, but they were far away, and none of them dared to come forward to help, because they all knew the details of these people and were afraid of getting into trouble.
The woman's eyes revealed anger and a hint of unwillingness, and she said to Cuihu: "This Langjun, let's do this for this painting first, and don't charge money." ”
She took the portrait from the drawing board and handed it to Cuihu, then packed up the easel and stool and prepared to leave.
Cui Hu looked at the unfinished portrait, but only sketched a rough outline, and with a few strokes, he was already ready to jump out on the paper. Obviously, this woman is very superb in painting skills, and she is a talented woman!
When the young men saw that the woman was leaving, they said, "What? I'm not happy to draw a picture with my brothers, can I leave if I don't finish speaking? Catch her for me! "It seems that this is to use the strength of alcohol to prepare to go crazy.
Cuihu stepped forward and scolded: "You godsenders, why, in broad daylight, you still have to rob the people's daughters?" ”
Seeing that someone dared to obstruct them, this group of idle and idle gentlemen who had nothing to do all day now came to the spirit: "Dog slave, dare to stop the uncle from doing things and beat him for me." A group of house slaves swarmed up and surrounded Cuihu.
Originally, Tietou and Li Yuhong were watching the excitement over there, but seeing that the situation was a little wrong, they were not nervous, what could happen in broad daylight.
But then the scene turned sharply, this is the rhythm of hands-on.
The two of them didn't do it, and the iron head Huo Ran stood up, without saying a word, and rushed towards the opposite side; Yuhong looked around and followed with a bench.
In the crowd of people who were surrounded, the woman suddenly let out a scream, Cuihu's heart tightened, and when he turned his head to look at the woman, he saw that the black veil on her face had fallen off in the tearing, and a hideous scar appeared on her face.
In this age of life that looks at the face very well, how difficult the life of such a disfigured woman will be.
Looking at the woman who resembled her sister Cuifeng, and the terrible scar on her face, a strong desire to protect rose spontaneously.
He pulled the woman over and protected her behind him; Slowly step back and lean against the wall.
The woman nervously tugged at Cuihu's clothes and buried her head in his back.
Tietou and Li Yuhong had already rushed into the crowd, like a bowl fist, waving the bench brought up a terrible scream and a retreating figure, and for a while the gang staggered, humming and chirping.
They usually rely on their power to bully and bully honest people, but in front of the three people who have gone through hardships and strict training, their scumbag combat effectiveness collapsed in an instant.
The three of them helped the woman clean up the drawing board and small stool, and ran away from the road, while Cuihu did not forget to throw a few copper plates at the owner of the opposite shop.
When passing by the staggering group, the woman did not forget to kick the most obscene man with two feet, which made Cuihu happy, this little lady is also a grudge.
During the run, the woman shouted that she had run in the wrong direction, and the three ignored her and continued to run. Seeing that the woman's physical strength was not continuous, Cuihu didn't care much, grabbed her right arm, and continued to run wildly.
After beating around the bush and running for a long time, I saw that there was no one around, and then I stopped. The woman was already tired and panting, and bent over to pant for breath.
Seeing that the three of them were looking at their faces, he said: "I'm scared everyone, I've been injured before, thank you for coming to the rescue." As he spoke, he put the black veil on his face again.
Cuihu said helplessly: "This lady, why do you bother to kick that person's feet, otherwise they will only find trouble for us, and now, it is estimated that they are also looking for you everywhere!" ”
The woman said: "The troubles of several benefactors have arisen because of me, how can I get out of it." "This woman really has a good man's style of 'blessings and hardships'.
Cuihu looked at Tietou and Yuhong, and said, "Let's send this lady home first." The two nodded in agreement, and there was nothing to do now anyway.
The woman should also be afraid that those people would come to look for trouble again, so she didn't refuse, just in front to help show the way, while observing the surrounding situation.
Suddenly, Cuihu remembered that the woman might still be hungry, so he went to a small shop and bought some baked cakes, and at the same time bought some mutton and came back.
Shook at the woman: "Well, this is the reward for the portrait, it should be enough." ”
The woman knew Cuihu's thoughts, this was helping herself in disguise, and gave a salute, maybe she couldn't wipe off her face, and she didn't thank her, so she continued to walk in front, so Cuihu followed behind with food.
Li Yuhong secretly stepped forward and said, "Brother Tiger, come on, the first wave of the offensive doesn't seem to be going well!" ”
Cuihu glared at him and continued to follow the woman. After walking for a while, they came to a courtyard.
There were two or three thatched huts in the low courtyard wall, and the woman called out to Grandpa inside.
A short time later, a man came out of it, forty or fifty years old, in shabby clothes, and carrying a stick.
Seeing his daughter followed by three young men, he suddenly became vigilant. The woman ran up to the man and whispered something to him.
After hearing this, the man's face also brightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the three of Cuihu and said, "Thank you three strong men for your help, please sit in the house, but the house is shabby, please bear with me." ”
Cuihu originally planned to leave directly, but seeing the man's warm invitation, it was difficult to refuse, and at the same time he had some ideas for the woman with excellent painting skills, so he also agreed.
