Chapter 511: Ladies Screen
I've opened my eyes to the earth, and darkness is nothing.
I saw that the walls of the living room should have been painted, although they were yellowed and the skin was a little cracked, but it was clearly a modern whitewashing process. What's even more unexpected is that there are lights on this wall.
This lamp is not our common incandescent tube, but a wall lamp, all oval, with a lampshade on the top, like a product of the Republic of China period in an old movie.
I'm a little weird. When we stayed overnight in the stilted building last night, the Miao family and his wife used oil lamps, and we thought that there was no electricity at all in Saipan Village.
Wang Hao told us that the electricity had been turned on for a long time, and that the villagers were using oil lamps to save money. They have lived in the mountains for generations, and they are used to being thrifty and thrifty. In fact, every household has electric lights, but they are used less.
With that, he flipped a doorbell-like switch on the wall, and the whole room lit up.
The light of these sconces was yellow, warm and hazy, and the furniture in those rooms was suddenly gilded with a layer of gold, and became vivid.
If you look at the furniture, it is not made of precious woods such as mahogany and huanghuali as you imagined, but ordinary wood.
Most of them have been deformed by moisture, and the table legs and stool corners are not known whether they have been gnawed by rats or how to get them, and they look trembling and majestic, which does not match this exquisite house.
Because there are no people, there is nothing on the table, and the Bogu shelf is also empty, covered with a thin layer of ash, especially after turning on the light, it gives people a shabby feeling of the four walls of the house.
In the whole living room, the most eye-catching thing is a screen. I saw that this screen was a single wooden frame, about one meter long, and it was not wide.
The color of the wooden frame is dark and black, obviously it has gone through many years of deposition, and the material used on the screen is not known whether it is yarn or silk, showing translucent, looming, and embroidered with pictures of ladies.
After counting, there were seventeen maids on the screen, some holding acacia fans, some covering their mouths and chuckling, some holding their cheeks and pondering, and some tidying up their temples. All of them have different looks, different dresses, and are vivid.
It's just that the screen is too old, there are two holes in the satin, the silk thread at the broken place hangs down messily, and the wooden frame at the corner is also missing, although it does not affect the content of the screen, but it is also a pity, destroying the overall beauty.
The ancients were quite particular about the screen, judging from the size and pattern of the screen, it seems to be more like a dressing screen than a guest screen, it seems to be used in the boudoir of everyone's ladies, and it is not clear why it is placed in the living room.
I didn't think anything at a glance, but when I looked at this screen, it felt a little weird.
In ancient times, most of the ladies were dignified and beautiful, and the ladies with decent manners were all affectionate, with smiles on the corners of their mouths, and all their faces were frivolous and uninhibited.
The clothes worn on the body are not like the traditional Hanfu skirts, but more like modern bathrobes, with a high and lower body, low cut and wide sleeves, and the slit of the skirt is also huge, revealing the delicate arms, white jade legs and bare feet.
Don't say anything about the proper manners, it is clearly a strong sense of the ancient spring palace picture, scratching his head and making a posture, and he is very profligate.
The amorous eyes lit up as she stared at the maids on the screen, drooling, and said excitedly.
"I'll bake! That's really ...... What a good thing, art ...... Artwork, little monk, I like to do it the most...... Got art...... Tut-tut...... "starting point Chinese
Looking at his perverted reincarnation, I was speechless, and the fat man was also disgusted.
Wang Hao smiled awkwardly, and said that this lady's screen was originally placed in the bedroom of the wing room, but after the master Luo Bin came, he said that it was best to have a screen at the door, so he moved out and put it at the door.
After looking around in the living room, I didn't find any problems, the furnishings here are very simple, the layout is relatively transparent, the room is boxy, there are no missing corners and dirt, and there is no murder to be found.
Then, Wang Hao took us to the east and west wings. The wing is divided into two rectangular bedrooms, a study, a guest room, and a kitchen.
There was no sign of any habitation in the house, the bedding was brand new, the kitchen was clean, and it seemed that the dead old man Zhong had been thrown away along with his belongings.
Indeed, there are people who die in the house, no matter how they died, which is somewhat unlucky. We walked around and didn't see anything unusual.
There is not much furniture, and the layout is very particular after being adjusted by Luo Bin, although there are many rooms, but the wind and air are transparent, it is completely a prosperous and wealthy arrangement, and there is no fault with the horizontal and vertical.
Originally, I was worried that it would be difficult to explain to Wang Hao when I met Hu Zitao in the ancestral house of the Wang family, but he never appeared, which made me feel a little worried, didn't he come here?
After turning around twice inside and out, I asked Wang Hao if there was a basement or cellar here.
Wang Hao shook his head and said no, in the early years, when his relatives lived here, they all went down the mountain to buy things, and they lived for less than a year, so they moved away because it was inconvenient.
He coughed as he spoke, and his face became more rosy, like a boiled crab. I touched his forehead, it was frighteningly hot, I knew that he had a fever, and hurriedly asked him to hurry down the mountain to rest, being sick is not a joke.
Wang Hao coughed and said that it is not okay to leave you here, after all, you are not familiar with life, and there have been people in this ancestral house, are you not afraid.
I laughed and said that if we were afraid, we wouldn't be able to do this business, so leave us alone, you can go down the mountain and rest.
Seeing that Wang Hao refused to leave, I scared him, saying that there was no problem with the pattern here, but I am afraid that the ghost of the deceased Old Man Zhong would not disperse, and Lai would not live here.
If we want to surpass him, I'm afraid we still need to do a French style to be peaceful, I don't know how long it will take.
I deliberately say this with a purpose. In addition to Wang Hao's illness, the main purpose of our visit this time is to find the soul of Luo Bin's detention, and the soul search cannot be known to Wang Hao, which is beyond the cognition of normal people, and will only cause trouble.
Wang Hao listened to me and the ghost did not disperse, and his body trembled obviously. Seeing that my expression was very serious, my previous experience also concluded that the three of us were all superior, and we were no longer attached at the moment, and said that okay, it would trouble a few masters.
Before leaving, he asked us how long it would take to spend this time in excess of France, and if we needed him to deliver food or anything.
I told him no, there was glutinous rice and baba from the Miao family and his wife in his backpack, which was enough for us to eat for a while. You can recuperate at the bottom of the mountain, there is food and water here, if we can't finish it today, we can sleep here, just rest assured.
After sending Wang Hao away, I, the fat man and Amorous explored the Wang family's ancestral house inside and out, but still did not find Hu Zitao's shadow or any abnormalities.
I started to climb the mountain in the morning, climbed for nearly an hour, and then I was busy for half a day non-stop, which made each of us tired and tired.
