Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Mysterious Old Man
Several people hurried one after another, physically and mentally exhausted, coupled with the discovery in the cave, it was inevitable that several people were timid.
Not long after the flock of birds flew over, Officer Zhang saw that they had disappeared in the forest, but where would some of the birds go, and several people couldn't help but wonder.
At this time, the group continued to walk, and they saw a person in front of them, who looked like an old man, and this old man looked not young, and his beard was quite long.
At this time, Officer Zhang was surprised, and when several people went down the mountain recently, they had also met an old man, and the old man seemed to be much more idle than this old man, and this old man seemed to be a little older.
Out of polite greetings, Officer Zhang took the initiative to walk up, he asked the old man, and the old man didn't say anything at this time, just walked to Officer Zhang's side before talking.
The old man gestured with his hand that his ears were not good, so he instructed Officer Zhang to speak louder.
Officer Zhang then asked the old man why he was here, and the old man said that he lived in this mountain and belonged to part of the mountain. He was already accustomed to life here, and he was reluctant to move out, but he enjoyed everything here.
Since the incident in the cave, Officer Zhang has been extremely wary of strangers. At least until the real culprit is found, all the people in this mountain are worth noting.
As early as a few days ago, Officer Zhang told Wen Cun, Ms. Zhang Chen and others not to easily reveal the news of the bones in the cave to outsiders. At this time, Ms. Zhang Chen may have been afraid and didn't dare to say anything.
When Officer Zhang heard the old man say that he had lived in this mountain all his life, he spoke more carefully, and strengthened his caution and vigilance in talking to the old man.
He thought that the old man was naturally in the mountains, and he knew the geographical conditions and location of the mountains, and he had lived for so many years, he might have known about that cave, or he might have been there. Thinking of this, Officer Zhang inevitably didn't dare to guess, he still had a trace of fear for the old man in front of him. Often fear lies in the unknown that is about to be revealed, and this unknown is always just an unknown.
At this time, Wen Cun asked the old man where he lived, and the old man said that it was not far away. At this time, Officer Zhang said: "For so many years, there have not been many people in this mountain?" The old man looked at the mountains in the distance and said, "For many years, there has been no one."
Ms. Zhang Chen asked, "Why is there no one in such a beautiful place for so many years?" The old man took out a piece of jade in his hand and kept spinning it in his hand. "This place has always been unpopular with outsiders, and even fewer people come here," he said.
At this time, Ms. Zhang Chen continued to ask, "Then how did you get here?" At this time, the old man said, "It's time to feed the birds today, and tomorrow they will fly." Obviously, the old man avoided Ms. Zhang Chen's question, and it was this question that also aroused the interest of several people.
The old man whistled and several birds flew over, apparently the birds and the old man knew each other. At this time, the old man was staggering, walking like an old man in his old age, and Officer Zhang thought of this, and thought that maybe he might have misunderstood the old man.
If the old man really had anything to do with the cave, it would be difficult for an old man of this age to walk, let alone do this kind of work. After speaking, the old man wanted to invite a few people to live in his place, and several people had been thinking about this rush at this time, at this time they looked at Officer Zhang, and Officer Zhang said that since the old man had invited, he was embarrassed to refuse.
In fact, Officer Zhang wanted to see if he could get any information from the few people in the mountains, of course, this also took a certain risk, but Officer Zhang wanted to find clues about the case, and even tell me what to do.
The group walked around a few winding paths, and at the end of the path there was a house, and the sides of the house were planted with a large number of begonia flowers, and it was red begonia. The begonias here are fresh and simple on both sides of the thatched hut.
At this time, Officer Zhang went around the back of the house and saw a row of flowers, which were fresh and elegant pale yellow begonia flowers. Officer Zhang was wondering why there was a row of red begonias planted in front of the house, and there was indeed a row of pale yellow begonias in an inconspicuous place behind the house, giving people a sense of freshness.
At this time, Officer Zhang asked the old man why he planted these yellow begonias in the back of the house, which was also beautiful in front of the house. The old man smiled and replied that the flowers were at first for others to see, and then slowly grew there.
At this time, when Officer Zhang heard that those flowers were actually for others to see, he thought about it for a while, for others to see, is there anyone else here. However, Officer Zhang didn't ask much, but just kept the old man's words in his heart.
At this time, the old man invited everyone into the house to drink a few cups of tea, but when he was pouring water for everyone, Officer Zhang looked up at the pictures on the wall, these pictures were very beautiful, they looked like they were painted by an artist, fresh and elegant.
But at this time, the careful Wen Cun seemed to have captured something, and he stroked the painting on the wall with his hand, and the processing of a little detail made him think of something. He thought of the painting style on Milan's flute, in which the treatment of a detail attracted Wen Cun's attention at the beginning.
And one of the details of this painting style on the wall is exactly the same. For painters, everyone has their own style of painting, and the treatment of the details and corners of the painting is also very different. Wen exists and thinks that the heavy sum here may not be a coincidence.
At this time, the old man took out the bamboo chair and table, and he poured the tea one by one. Wen Cun looked at the painting inside, and the old man said: "That painting has been there for a long time, although it is painted on the wall, it still has a sense of simplicity."
Wen Cun came out with a teacup at this time and said, "That painting really has a sense of simplicity." At this time, Officer Zhang looked up at the painting inside, and at this time he looked at Wen Cun. He knew what might happen to Wen Cun.
However, Officer Zhang did not ask in front of everyone, but had a pleasant tea with everyone. The tea in this has a clear straw smell, and he said that this is also a dryness, after drinking it, I only feel that although it is ordinary, there is always a taste that cannot be said, and it may also have a feeling effect.
