Chapter 274: Feng Qingqing's Drifting Bottle
Mrs. Jiang's words made Ye Wenyan's heart pwitch.
"Aunt Lan has ever seen such a painting? In what place? Who drew it? She grabbed Mrs. Jiang's wrist almost out of control, which startled Jiang Wanting. Aunt Lan tell me quickly, this is important to me. β
She tried her best to stabilize her emotions, and the strength in her hands was much looser, but the longing in her eyes could not be hidden.
Mrs. Jiang is empathetic, so naturally she won't finish her words halfway. So she patted Ye Wen and said, "You wait, the painting is here with me, I'll go and bring it to you." She turned and left, and when she came back, she brought a glass bottle with her.
That's right, it's a glass bottle! It's a bottle made of glass that shouldn't exist in this era. The bottle was purely transparent, the mouth was gagged with a wooden stopper, and inside was something that was a folded piece of stationery and a photo of a bent stuffed in.
Mrs. Jiang pointed to the photo and said, "Look at this painting, the people on it are very strange, I don't recognize it, but the feeling of this painting is very similar to the one you brought." It's all so real, as if people are right in front of you, a little bit like a painting, so much like a ......" she pondered how to say this, and after a while she said, "It's like looking in a mirror, and it's clearer than a mirror, it seems that there are two mes, one in reality and one in painting." She can do anything but talk. β
The more Mrs. Jiang spoke, the more she wondered: "But the one in the bottle is too small, and there are several people on it, but all of them can be drawn so finely." I was thinking, what kind of artist does it have to be to paint such a masterpiece? But today, Wen Yan took this painting, and I suddenly thought, this should not be painted by you, right? β
Jiang Wanting also stepped forward to take a look, this thing Mrs. Jiang had not seen before, and it was the first time she had seen it, and she felt very novel.
But after looking at it for a while, he began to shake his head, "No, no, there is still a difference, the painting in this bottle is not as real as Wen Yan's painting." Although it is also the most real one I have ever seen, it is still better to bring this one than Wen Yan. I can't say what the difference is, but Wen Yan's painting feels like I have another mother, and she is about to come out of the painting. But this in the bottle...... Although these people are also vivid, you can feel that they just want to be honest in the painting. β
After she finished speaking, she touched the bottle with her hand again, and after touching it for a while, she asked, "This thing should be called a bottle, right?" It's the shape of a bottle, but what is the bottle made of? I've never seen anything like this! β
Mrs. Jiang was very cautious, and even withdrew from the subordinates in the hall. Shen'er thought about it and went out with him.
"Wen Yan, if you hadn't brought this painting today, I wouldn't have been able to take out this thing." Mrs. Jiang handed the bottle to Ye Wenyan's hand, "I have studied it carefully with your Uncle Jiang, but I still can't get to the end, and we don't dare to take it out and show it to others easily, because we always feel that it is not ordinary." Wen Yan, can you tell me, what the hell is this thing? β
Ye Wenyan's hands were shaking, and he wanted to open the stopper immediately, or simply urge some spiritual power to probe his mind into it. But this is Shangshu Mansion, and there are Jiang Wanting and Mrs. Jiang around them, and there are some things that cannot be said to people in this era.
So she stabilized her mind and asked Mrs. Jiang, "Can Aunt Lan tell me when she got this thing?" β
"Not many days." Mrs. Jiang pulled Ye Wenyan to sit down again, and said to her very happily, "I only got it on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month a year ago. I have a distant cousin who is in the army on the border, and south of the border is the famous shoreless sea. He picked up this bottle on the beach, and he thought it was beautiful, something he had never seen before, so he hid it as a treasure and gave it to me as a gift when he returned to Beijing to visit relatives before the Chinese New Year. β
Mrs. Jiang went to look at the bottle again, "My cousin said that he watched it float from the sea, and a few waves rolled up the bottle. At that time, there were a few little brothers who were with them, and because the camp gave them leave, they drank a lot of wine, and those people drank a little more, and they didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just an ordinary object. My cousin drank less, so he got into it and hid it in a hurry. Ah Yan, you see, in addition to the painting, is the other one in the bottle a kind of paper? You can faintly see the writing on it. I made it carefully, and I could tell that it was a word, but I didn't recognize any of it. β
Of course, Mrs. Jiang didn't recognize it, because it was a simplified character, and it was a text that was finally determined after continuous reform and simplification in later generations.
In fact, there are some characters that have not changed, if you write in block letters, Mrs. Jiang should be able to recognize a few, but unfortunately the person who writes uses his usual pen style, it doesn't look so easy.
As for this bottle, Mrs. Jiang didn't know what this thing was, but Ye Wenyan recognized it at a glance.
This is the Drifting Bottle, also known as the Wishing Bottle, which was one of the limited means by which people traveled across the sea to communicate a long time ago.
At that time, people regarded it as a very romantic, mysterious, and meaningful thing. They would write down their wishes, their blessings, or their thoughts on something that they had nowhere to tell, stuff them in a bottle, seal the bottle and throw it into the ocean. The bottle will roll with the waves, go to an unknown place, and then be picked up by strangers, taken out and flipped through.
Because the time of the drifting bottle is uncertain, and there are many or even never get ashore, no one knows how long it will take for the bottle they threw out to be picked up.
The drifting bottle was thrown into a mood, and then it gradually became a fashionable way to play, and even made an online version.
She also played with the Drifting Bottle, but it was not something she advocated to play, but it was taught by Feng Qingqing.
Feng Qingqing of Bumai is the youngest of the five of them, and the child is lively and easy to accept new things. Not to mention playing on the Internet all day long, he even opened an online store to tell people's fortunes.
The Drifting Bottle was the first thing she started playing, first online, then in the lake, and then in the sea. Although Feng Yuheng repeatedly told her that she should not throw garbage into the ocean, she couldn't control the child's playful nature.
Fortunately, she didn't throw much, only once or twice, and they left her alone.
If this was in a previous life, it would definitely not be an accident to pick up the drifting bottle in the sea, but now that she is in Northern Qi, where did the drifting bottle come from? And who threw it? When was it thrown?
Her eyes went back to the bottle, and she turned the glass to look at the picture closely, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar it became.
Jiang Wanting also looked out of the way: "Why are the people painted on this small painting very strangely dressed?" Are they male or female? Looks like a girl, why do you have short hair? They were dressed ...... That's so little! β
It's really a lot, there are five girls in total, three with long hair, two with short hair, the photo was taken in the summer, so all five of them are wearing thin clothes and shorts, and some even wear camisoles.
This kind of outfit was normal in the previous life, and there would be no fuss at all, but in this era, it is so shocking that Jiang Wanting is wondering if these people are serious people.
"Wen Yan." Jiang Wanting's observation skills were really strong, she pointed to one of the short-haired women and asked her, "Do you look at this person, does it look like you?" I know it's definitely not you, but why do you look so alike? β
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Jiang also stepped forward with a "huh", and soon had the same exclamation: "This is too similar!" Yan'er, this is simply a copy of yours, this, this is too much of a coincidence, why didn't I notice it before? β
Ye Wenyan stared at the bottle and was distracted, and only after a while did he say, "Xu is fate!" Aunt Lanβ" she pleaded with Mrs. Jiang, "since there is such a coincidence, can you give me this bottle?" Or lend it to me for a few days, I'll take it and take a closer look, and I'll send it back to Aunt Lan in a few days. β
Seeing that she was in a hurry, Mrs. Jiang immediately said: "You don't need to send it back, you just take it, it's really useless to put this thing here with me." I can't understand it, and I don't dare to put it, so I'll give it to you, and I won't have to worry about it. β
Ye Wenyan became excited, "Thank you, Aunt Lan, I'm ...... I'll definitely bring good things to Aunt Lan when I get back. β
"This kid, can I still send you that little bit of goodness?" Mrs. Jiang laughed when she heard this, "I didn't say thank you to you for giving me such a good painting, if you thank you again, Aunt Lan will be unhappy." I really think Aunt Lan is good, I will come a few more times in the future, and Aunt Lan will prepare food for you like when she was a child. β
Ye Wenyan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I will definitely come often." She held the bottle in her arms, her hands clasped tightly, as if someone would snatch it away if it was a little looser. This is the first gaffe since she arrived in Northern Qi, and she doesn't want to do this, but she really can't control her emotions.
The bottle was thrown by Feng Qingqing, and she recognized it at a glance. Because the bottle stopper is engraved with a very small wind character, it is engraved in the shade and is not easy to find.
And then there's the picture, which is a picture of the five sisters together. At that time, Ah Heng had just come back from a third world country to do medical support and cut her neat short hair, and she saw that Ah Heng's short hair was good-looking, so she also cut one. For this reason, she was laughed at by her cousin Ye Chengcheng for a long time, saying that the hairstylist who cut her hair must have just fallen out of love, otherwise she would not have cut her hair into a depressed look, as if she couldn't afford to live.
This photo was also taken to commemorate her only short hair style, and after that, the photo was developed and each person took one.
It's a pity that her photo was left in the Yejia mansion, and everything in the mansion was looted from above, and no one cared about a photo at all, for fear that it would have been disposed of as garbage a long time ago. Including the storage weapons of the Ye family, they all collapsed the moment they were hit by the spirit spear, and there was not even a scum left.
Unexpectedly, through time and space, the photo in Feng Qingqing's hand was sent to her.
Does this mean that the hope of the reunion of the five veins has begun?
