Chapter 20: See Liu Shimeng again
When Liu Shimeng woke up from the dream, it was already the early morning of the next day, and she slept peacefully and comfortably that night.
She saw the quilt on her body and the cold food on the table, and suddenly felt very warm.
Teacher Lu is a painter she respects very much, and he is also the mentor of amusement.
Before Yu Le's death, every time he returned to Qingping, he would take Liu Shimeng to visit Teacher Lu.
Mr. Lu has lived a wonderful and lonely life, a wandering poet, a painter, and a photographer.
He dedicated his life to art and never got married, because he often said that he was married to Hua, and his lover was Hua.
Such a statement is poetic and romantic in romanticism, but in realism it seems absurd.
A person who does not have dreams, or rather, no hobbies, will never know how happy it is to love something.
Some people love money, and they will work hard for money, even at all costs.
Some people love dogs, cats, and flowers, and he will dedicate all his true feelings to them, if in the eyes of others, it will feel like a crazy thing, but only they know how happy they are.
Mr. Lu loves painting and art, and in the first half of his life, he wandered in every part of the world, looking for vision with his eyes and leaving every scenery with his brush.
He loves madly, loves sincerely, and loves passionately.
Now he has opened a studio and uses his rich knowledge to teach children to paint, and wants to pass on his passion to every child, so that those who love painting can feel the unique beauty of art.
Liu Shimeng, love painting, love from childhood to adulthood, was once influenced by her father, then missed her father, and then hated her father, from beginning to end she could not give up painting, only when painting, her soul will really find a home.
Liu Shimeng quietly walked downstairs and saw that Mr. Lu was already sitting in the studio and began to paint, he was so serious, so persistent, shining in the sun.
"Teacher Lu, good morning, thank you for taking me in last night and not turning me into a stray cat!" Liu Shimeng smiled slightly, and returned to her usual light and light appearance.
"You're welcome! Did you sleep well last night? Teacher Lu raised her head, saw Liu Shimeng, and gave her a smile.
Liu Shimeng has an illusion, every time she talks to Teacher Lu, she seems to be talking to the hero in Teacher Jin Yong's novel, and he looks very much like Qiao Feng.
"Slept well!"
"Breakfast was simple, put it in the back kitchen and eat it yourself!"
"Good! Teacher Lu, I still can't go to class today, I have to do some personal things! But I'll definitely make up for it in the future! Liu Shimeng was embarrassed.
"Oh! It's okay, go for it! Anyway, there haven't been many students lately! Teacher Lu didn't have a trace of expression on his face.
"Thank you then! Then I'm going to eat! Liu Shimeng was very grateful and turned to leave.
"Well, if you don't have anywhere to go, you can stay here! Until you find the right place to stay! Teacher Lu said to Liu Shimeng's back.
"Hmmm! Got it! Liu Shimeng turned around and thanked her again, and then went to eat.
Teacher Lu looked at Liu Shimeng's disappearing back and showed a faint smile, which was a warm smile of the spring breeze.
Liu Shimeng returned to her former residence again, and it was Sister Wang who opened the door.
"Mengmeng, are you back? Why did you come back? Sister Wang saw Liu Shimeng trembling outside the door, and pulled her into the house and into her room.
"Mengmeng, have you eaten? Where did you stay last night? Sister Wang saw Liu Shimeng's red face from the cold, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to her.
"Sister Wang, I've eaten, I lived in the studio yesterday, I came here yesterday, you're not here!" Liu Shimeng smiled faintly, took the water and took a sip, and her heart instantly warmed.
"I'm sorry, I was on a business trip yesterday, and my phone was turned off, and I didn't come back until midnight! Xiaodong told me this morning that you have been here, tell my sister, what happened to you lately? I can't contact you, and why are you so haggard? ”
When Sister Wang saw Liu Shimeng's thin and pale face, she felt a little distressed, and held her hand tightly in her hand.
"Alas! It's a long story, but it's hard to say! Liu Shimeng briefly recounted her experience again.
"Oh my God! bad thing! Look at the one who tortured our dreams, what are you going to do after that? Sister Wang was distressed.
"It doesn't matter, no matter what happens, I always have to live, and my mother doesn't want me to be decadent, look forward! Difficulties will pass! Liu Shimeng took a breath, shrugged her shoulders in relief, and showed a sweet smile.
"Sister, I'm sorry for you! This house was not kept for you, and the landlord took it back! By the way, all your stuff has been put away by your friends! Sister Wang suddenly remembered Zeng Lihua.
"Friends? Which friend do I have? Liu Shimeng was puzzled.
"It's just a man, a man who looks quite sven! He said it was your friend, you know, my room is not big, I wanted to put so many things in the living room, and your friend was afraid of breaking them, so he took them all! "Sister Wang is a little embarrassed.
Liu Shimeng's brain was running rapidly, and she couldn't remember which man it was, except for the teacher and the student beside her, that is, Teacher Lu in the studio, suddenly a figure popped up in her mind.
"Zeng ......, he said his name was Zeng He painting!" Sister Wang tried to recall.
"Could it be that Zeng left the painting?" Liu Shimeng blurted out.
"Yes, Zeng Lihua is Zeng Lihua! He said you come back and call him! ”
"Mengmeng, you are in difficulty now, my sister can't help you, you take this money first, don't wronged yourself!" Sister Wang said that she took out some money from her bag and put the money into Liu Shimeng's hand.
"Sister Wang, use it, I'm fine, I still have money, thank you!" Liu Shimeng hurriedly excused herself, she didn't expect that this roommate who had been staying with her for a year would help her so generously, and her heart was full of emotion.
"Take it, you take it, otherwise my sister will be unhappy!" Sister Wang said unhappily.
In the end, Liu Shimeng did not accept Sister Wang's kindness, but when she walked on the cold road again, her heart was full of warmth.
Liu Shimeng walked on the road with a shuttling flow of people, feeling a little nervous and a little curious, she didn't know why she felt this feeling?
She came to the Grand Theater where Zeng Lihua was located, which is a very famous Grand Theater in Qingping.
Qingping is a city of literature and art with a long history, people like art, the pursuit of art, Peking Opera is China's intangible cultural heritage, is the quintessence of the country, and Zeng Lihua is the fusion of the quintessence of the national style.
When Liu Shimeng walked in, there were not many people in the Grand Theater, and the staff couldn't help but look at her when they saw such a beautiful girl appearing here.
Liu Shimeng was the first time to come to such a place, and she was full of curiosity about it.
"Girl, is there anything wrong with you?" A middle-aged man with glasses asked.
"Uncle, hello, I'm sorry, I want to inquire, is there someone named Zeng Lihua here?" Liu Shimeng is gentle and polite.
"Teacher Zeng? Are you his girlfriend then? Brother Wang lifted his glasses and said curiously.
"Ahh It's not, it's not! I'm a friend of his, is he there? Liu Shimeng felt a little shy, and hurriedly waved her hand to indicate no.
"Haha! It looks like you're a good match, he's in the upstairs practice room, and he often works on his voice in the innermost room! You can go to him! Girl, what is your name? Brother Zhang asked.
"I'm sorry! I'll go up first! Liu Shimeng was a little vigilant in her heart, after all, she was a stranger she didn't know, and she didn't want to expose too much.
Liu Shimeng walked along the stairs and quickly saw the practice room that Brother Wang said at the end, and before he got closer, he could vaguely hear the beautiful music.
As she walked, she listened carefully to the music, this is a national style song, if you listen carefully, you can hear that it is Li Yugang's "Qingming Riverside Map".
At this time, the sun was shining, and the warm sunlight shone into the room through the glass window, Liu Shimeng was infected by the beautiful singing, and couldn't help but gently push the door open.
Inside is indeed Zeng Li's painting, his clothes are light, dancing with a thin fan, and the placket of his light smoke is gently flying in the wind.
He has fine beads of sweat on his forehead, his eyes seem to be wandering in the old melody, he is serious, focused, dancing and moving, it seems to be interpreting the beauty of the charm of ancient Chinese style, like a white dragon playing in the water, and like a white phoenix shuttling through the clouds.
Liu Shimeng seems to see the poetry and painting in such an artistic conception, the beauty of national rhyme, if what is the most beautiful time? It must be a dream that is invested with sincere love.
She could see that Zeng Lihua had the same passion and pursuit as Teacher Lu, and this feeling made her heart flutter.
Liu Shimeng stood quietly at the door, seriously appreciating the beauty of the national rhyme brought by Zeng Li's painting, and was deeply immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.
With the "............ How many people can paint and paint three thousand miles, the meaning of Shanghe painting and painting .........", Zeng Lihua stopped the fan in his hand, he looked up at the sunlight scattered in the room, and took a breath gently.
When I turned my head, I saw Liu Shimeng standing at the door, the girl like a hibiscus flower, a girl standing under the wisteria tree.
Zeng Lihua was stunned for a moment, as if he saw something inexplicable and similar in Liu Shimeng's eyes.
Zeng Lihua put down the folding fan in his hand and slowly walked down the stage in the practice room, his eyes never leaving Liu Shimeng.
Last night, he was still tossing and turning, still wondering in his heart if he would never see her again, the days when he couldn't see her, and every day in the future might be lived in lonely years.
It wasn't until he walked in front of Liu Shimeng and saw her watery and sad eyes that he knew that this was the real Liu Shimeng, and it was Liu Shimeng standing in front of him.
"Liu Shimeng, you're here!" Zeng Lihua said, this is the first time he called Liu Shimeng's name, and after calling it, he felt embarrassed.
"I didn't expect you to dance so well?" Liu Shimeng also felt a little embarrassed and smiled slightly, in order to hide her distraction.
"Thank you! You okay? How did it take so long to disappear? Zeng Lihua scratched his head unconsciously, a little stupid.
"I'm fine, suddenly something happened!" After Liu Shimeng heard this, she suddenly felt very aggrieved in her heart, but she still had a shallow smile.
"What's going on? Will make you so haggard? Zeng Lihua saw the pale and thin appearance of the girl in front of him, and a feeling of pity and pity rose in his heart.
"It's nothing, your dance just now was beautiful, aren't you Tsing Yi? Can also dance? Liu Shimeng changed the subject.
"Huh! I used to learn Chinese dance when I was in school, but then I came to the city and started singing! Come in and sit! Zeng Lihua politely let Liu Shimeng into his dressing room.
