Chapter 201: Portrait
When I came out of the room, I happened to see my brother and Liu Kuaikou also come out, and the three of them shook their heads at each other, and my brother said, "I didn't find anything, there were only some clothes in the room, and nothing else." ”
"Mine too." Liu said quickly: "It's even cleaner than him, and he doesn't even have clothes." ”
I told myself about my situation, and in the end, we came to the conclusion that we didn't find anything.
Xiao Yu was still sitting in the living room with Zhongwen, I hesitated for a moment and asked her, "Do you know when that old woman will appear?" ”
She shook her head: "Anytime it could be." ”
"You've been in the house all the time?"
She glanced at me and shook her head: "Yes before, but then it came, and the gossip mirror was hung on the door again, and my strength couldn't compete, so I could only come in after it came." ”
I nodded thoughtfully: "So, you've actually been protecting him, have you?" ”
She didn't deny it this time, nor did she nod, but said, "I don't want anyone to hurt him." ”
I looked at her, and a bold idea gradually deduced in my mind, and after thinking about it, I decided to ask, "So, the reason why you became a ghost is because of him, right?" You want to protect him, but the old woman's strength is far above yours, so you decided to sacrifice yourself to become a ghost and stay? ”
Originally, these were just my speculations, but when I said it, I knew I was right when I saw her expression.
To put it bluntly, she just loves this person too much, so even if she becomes a ghost, she wants to accompany him.
But the problem is that people and ghosts have always taken different paths, he walked the road of the world, and she crossed the Nai He Bridge, even if it is completed for a while, it cannot be a lifetime.
I didn't say anything more, but turned back to my brother, and the two of them were still rummaging around the house, trying to find as much useful as possible.
"No need to look for it, if there was something really wrong, we would have found it long ago." I sighed helplessly: "The house is so big, and there are only so many things." ”
Liu Kuaikou's face was a little tired, and he sat down and frowned: "Do you think we are ignoring something?" Isn't there a saying that is far away in the sky and close in front of you? Maybe what seems the most ordinary is the most suspicious? ”
"For example?"
"For example, didn't you say that there were a few paintings in the room you were looking for?" Liu Kuaikou said casually, he didn't want to look for it.
But when I heard this, something suddenly flashed through my mind, and I hurriedly turned around and ran back to the house to look at the paintings on the wall.
It's okay if you don't look carefully, but the whole person is stunned.
There are four paintings on the wall, all of them portraits, using ink and rice paper, and these four people have different forms, some seem to be dancing, some seem to be talking something, and even do strange movements.
At first glance, you can't tell the difference between men and women, and you can't find much difference.
But if you look closely, you can see that the person on the far right has a bent back and is wearing a pair of embroidered shoes on his feet.
"I found it!" I hurriedly took off the portrait and ran to the living room to show it.
My brother and Liu Kuaikou surrounded them, and both of them were full of surprise, especially Liu Kuaikou, who was dumbfounded: "I just said it casually, and it was really hidden in the painting!" ”
"It's really this old witch! Burn the painting! I see how rampant it is! My brother snatched the hanging painting, took out a lighter from his pocket and was about to light it, Xiao Yu was also surprised when he saw this painting: "It's it?!" ”
Seeing her strange tone, I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with this? ”
"No... I still remember this thing, this painting, when I was traveling with him, there was an old gentleman in the scenic spot recommended it, I thought it was good-looking, so I bought it, and then moved to the house and hung it, and there was no accident, I didn't expect it to be hidden in the painting! Xiao Yu looked shocked, and I said: "Some things are not clean in themselves, especially items from outside, and they can't be brought into their homes for no reason, no one knows the true origin of these things, by the way, who is the old gentleman you just said?" ”
"I don't know either, but when I bought the paintings, I heard from others that this old gentleman often wandered around the scenic spots to sell his paintings to others, and the prices were very low, and these paintings were all from his hands, and I heard that he was not trying to make money, but he liked to paint and wanted more people to see it, so there were many people who bought it."
"Which attraction? Do you know what his name is? ”
"It's in the ancient culture street, I don't know the name."
"It's useless to ask so much, and the old gentleman may not know that there is a problem with his painting." Liu said quickly: "Let's burn the painting, and the matter will be solved, what do you care about it so much?" ”
As he spoke, my brother went to light the fire, but at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew from nowhere, rising for no reason, and directly blew out the fire on the lighter.
"Where's the wind?" My brother was stunned, turned his head and looked around: "The door is not open, the window is not open, how can there be wind?" ”
"Don't worry about it so much, hurry up!" Liu Kuaikou urged, and my brother lit the lighter again, but as soon as the flame ignited, the yin wind came again, and suddenly it was blown out.
"What the hell is going on?!" My brother was a little impatient now: "Believe it or not, I just tore you up?" ”
As he spoke, he grabbed the ends of the painting and was about to tear it, but at this moment, something strange happened.
The painting fluttered like a kite blown by the wind, fluttering around the room and hanging on the ceiling with a "snap".
"This... This.. Liu Kuaikou's face turned red when he saw this, and he stomped his feet on the spot, the ceiling was more than three meters above our heads, and he couldn't reach it at all.
"This thing has no wind, but it can fly to the ceiling on its own, it seems to be deliberate, it wants to run!" I frowned when I saw this, and at this time, Xiao Yu suddenly said in an uneasy tone: "It seems to be coming!" ”
As soon as he finished saying this, from the painting hanging on the ceiling, he suddenly stretched out a hand, extremely fast, and grabbed it straight towards Liu Kuaikou, who was standing below.
"Get out of the way!" My brother exclaimed in surprise when he saw this, and wanted to push Liu Kuaikou away, but it was too late.
The hands stretched out, clasped Liu Kuaikou's shoulders, and then carried him like a crane to drill into the painting.
"Help me! Help me! He was lifted into the air and struggled frantically, and his whole face turned pale with fright.
"You old thing! Put him down! When my brother saw this, he hurriedly stepped on the table with his knife in his hand, stabbed it out, and stabbed it in both hands.
But seeing that its whole hand shrank suddenly, as if it was in pain, Liu Kuaikou fell from mid-air, sat on the ground, covered his feet and screamed: "My feet! Oh my feet! ”
After my brother stabbed it, suddenly there was a cry from the painting, which at first glance sounded like a cat meowing, and at first glance it sounded like an old man crying bitterly, and the whole painting trembled, as if it was crumbling.
"The old thing has the ability to come out!" My brother stepped on the table and tried to stab the painting, but the painting would run by itself, as if it had eyes, and as soon as the knife was stretched out, it moved away.
I couldn't reach it below, and when I was thinking about what to do, suddenly Xiao Yu next to me shouted: "Zhongwen is awake!" ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly turned my head to look, and saw that Zhongwen's face was extremely tired, his eyes were empty, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Yu first, that is, he was not afraid, nor did he scream, but laughed lightly: "Xiao Yu, am I also dead?" It's okay to be dead, and if you're dead, I'll be with you. ”
"You're a! Look up for yourself! Oh my feet! It hurts me! Liu Kuaikou covered his feet and screamed, and he didn't forget to talk.
When Zhongwen heard this, he looked up tiredly, and saw a portrait hanging upside down on the ceiling, and a hand stretched out from it on top of his head, so frightened that he rolled his eyes and almost fainted again.
"This... What the hell is this! At that moment, he was so frightened that his face was like earth, struggling to get up, Xiao Yu hurriedly reached out to help him, but as soon as he stretched out, his hand penetrated through his body like a puff of green smoke, and he couldn't touch the other party at all.
My brother was still stepping on the table, waving a knife and shouting, "Old woman, you have the ability to come out!" Let's practice! ”
"Small. Xiao Yu。。。 You're really Xiao Yu.。。 Or is it fake? Zhongwen finally reacted, and when he saw the person in front of him, there was an extremely complicated look in his eyes, some were afraid, some were expectant, some were uneasy, and some were at a loss.
