Chapter 47: Calligraphy and Painting in the Stone Chamber
Liu Yunwen saw that there was still oil in the clay pot, so she added oil to the oil lamp and lit it with a lighter.
The stone room suddenly lit up a lot, this is the place to cook, there are not many things in it, only a few simple kitchen utensils and chopsticks, there are some unburned dry bamboo sticks and firewood in front of the stove, a large clay pot is placed not far away, and there is nothing else. She searched the entire stone chamber but couldn't find any water, and there was some rice in the big clay pot, but she couldn't eat it anymore.
Liu Yunwen walked out of the stone room with a disappointed face, she also found an inconspicuous mechanism by the stone door in the middle, opened the stone door, she looked inside and it looked more like a bedroom, and a stone bed was faintly seen in the middle of the stone room, and the quilt on the bed was raised, as if someone was sleeping.
By this time it had darkened outside, and the cave had become dark. Liu Yunwen turned around and took out the oil lamp, and stood outside for a while before entering the stone room. The oil lamp is very bright in this small stone room, the whole room is very simple, there is a stone table not far from the bed by the door, there are some scattered things on the table, there is a small copper mirror on the stone wall in front of the table, when Liu Yunwen walked over, the bronze mirror reflected a bright light under the lamp, and the light that was brighter than the oil lamp reflected on the opposite stone wall, and the stone wall was suddenly as bright as day.
There is a person under the quilt raised on the stone bed in the middle of the stone room, who is supposed to be the owner of this place. Liu Yunwen knew that the person under the quilt had already died, and she was no longer afraid of these things in her heart, she knelt down and bowed to the man a few times, and said: "Senior, I have no intention of worrying about your tranquility, I'm really sorry, I hope the seniors don't blame!" ”
There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the stone wall. Liu Yunwen stood up and looked carefully, there were four calligraphy and paintings, two paintings in the middle, the painting was the same woman, the woman was wearing a white shirt, green pants, and a hair coiled on her head, a snow-white melon seed face was pretty and vivid, with soft red lips, and a pair of affectionate phoenix eyes under the black eyebrows.
One of the paintings is of the woman in white dancing in the wind in the bamboo forest, heroic and elegant. The verdant bamboos are vividly painted and look like they are dancing gently in the wind. A young and handsome man in a green shirt under the bamboo forest is playing the guqin in front of him, as if the rhythm of the sound of the piano is wafting in the bamboo forest, and the picture is very warm and affectionate. There is a line of small characters inscribed on the lower left side of the painting, "Junkang painted on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the year of Yihai"
Another painting shows a woman in white and a young man in a green shirt snuggling up on a hillside watching the sunset in the distance, under the golden afterglow is an undulating green forest and distant mountain peaks, and a little lamb is peacefully grazing on the grass on the ground beside them. The eyes of the woman in white and the young man showed happiness and contentment. What an enviable fairy couple.
The two characters are written respectively as "content in indifference" and "hidden in the rivers and lakes", the pen and ink are stirring and powerful, like a sword swimming in the rivers and lakes, and the spirit is elegant and elegant. The inscriptions are all "Jun Kang Shu in August of the same year."
There are two stone tables under the innermost stone wall, and on the stone table are several chests woven with bamboo chips, which are supposed to be used by the owner to hold clothes. Looking at everything in front of her, Liu Yunwen thought to herself, the life of the owner here must be very poor.
Liu Yunwen didn't stay for long, and quickly took the oil lamp and retreated, and closed the stone door again. It was completely dark outside, she stood in the cave and looked at the hole on her head, she could see the stars in the night sky, and the slightest chill kept hitting her, Liu Yunwen couldn't help but shrink her body. Now she was cold, hungry and thirsty, with nothing to eat or drink, and she didn't know how long she could last. I couldn't help but think of my brother Liu Jingwen in my heart.
At this time, Liu Jingwen, who was in the temple, was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot, fidgeting. Before Liu Yunwen came back at noon, he had already gone up the mountain to look for a long time, and now that it had been dark for so long, how could he not be in a hurry if no one came back to call him? Luo Sangong is also very puzzled, he has never seen a fierce big animal on the mountain after this, not even a monkey, he often wonders that even pheasants, bamboo rats and other common small movements in the bamboo forest on the mountain have not been seen on weekdays, there are thousands of cliffs on three sides, no one can go up the back mountain at all, and it is impossible for the girl to be harmed. But where did she go? Luo Sangong couldn't help but think of the little white rabbit, and the little white rabbit didn't reply. Will...... His heart couldn't help but move, this little white rabbit is the spirit of nature, it has a relationship with that girl, and now its life is coming to an end, is there really any adventure between this girl and it? Thinking like this, his uneasy heart calmed down a little, but he didn't tell Liu Jingwen about this.
The nights of Jiufeng Mountain are still very cool in this season. The oil lamp trembled in the cold wind blowing down from the entrance of the cave, Liu Yunwen was too cold in the cave to resist, the taste of hunger and cold was not something anyone could resist, she walked to the stone door at the very end, and wanted to open the stone door to take refuge in the stone room.
Walking into the stone room, Liu Yunwen closed the stone door from the inside, the inside was much warmer than the outside, and her body was no longer trembling. This stone room is much larger than the other two, and on the left side of the stone wall are two rows of bamboo shelves, on which are placed a lot of books. Liu Yunwen touched the bamboo frame with her hand, the bamboo frame inside was not weathered, probably because it was isolated from the outside.
There is a stone table under the bamboo frame, two stone benches, the table is engraved with a piece of Go, the black and white chess pieces are placed on both sides of the stone table, and there is an unfinished game in the chessboard.
In the middle of the stone room, there seemed to be a person sitting on the ground. Liu Yunwen approached with an oil lamp, and sure enough, it was a person, and it was a woman. Dressed in a white robe, a white scarf on a black background tied with the long flowing hair, and under the long hair there was already a white bone in the white shirt. Looking at the woman's sitting posture, it seemed that she was practicing before she died. Could this be the beautiful woman in white in the bedroom painting? The man on the stone bed in the bedroom is the young man in the painting. So they are supposed to be a couple, so who are they? How can you live in seclusion here? Liu Yunwen's heart flashed a few question marks one after another.
There was a long sword on the ground beside the woman, and it shone white in the light of the lamp. Not far away, there is a row of bamboo racks with a variety of cold weapons on them. It seems that this is where they practice martial arts on weekdays.
Liu Yunwen put the oil lamp on the ground, knelt down in front of the woman, and glanced at her a few times to show respect. Looking at the white bone in front of her and thinking of the pretty woman in white in the painting, her heart couldn't help but sigh. No matter how beautiful and moving a person's life is, in the end it becomes a skeleton.
Liu Yunwen was about to get up, when a roll suddenly rolled out of the woman's long cuffs.
