Chapter 20 See the painting again

After Mengyanzhi, Yunmo, and Zhou Shen entered the corridor, they were careful all the way, and the corridor was lined with red brick walls, and rectangular lanterns were hung on the corridor, and the red spikes swayed with the wind. Then I entered a courtyard, a boxy ordinary courtyard.

"This is the treasure trove of the auction house? It's just too overestimated. Zhou Shen shook his head and followed Meng Yanzhi every step of the way.

"Go your separate ways and take a look." The three of them entered different rooms, and after a while, they met at the door of the hall. They shook their heads at each other, indicating that there was nothing inside.

Yunmo's eyes dimmed, he looked around, and entered the place behind him where he had just entered.

In the hall, there are several mahogany tables and chairs, one by one, and a painting hangs in the center of the hall. In the painting, a man and a woman stand under a tree and look into the distance, where there is nothing and nothing. The whole room is so small that you can see it all at once. This courtyard has two wings, one main hall and the other is a firewood room.

The place where this big guy was guarding turned out to be this courtyard, and I thought it was the warehouse of the auction house, but after a round of exploration, it was just a very ordinary house. Since it's just an ordinary family, why do you need to guard it? Guarding also chooses a person with strong martial arts, in this case, why do the auction house maids turn a blind eye?

A lot of questions come up one by one, this place is normal, but it's just too normal to be unbelievable.

"This auction house is too poor, you look at this table, they are all the most inferior mahogany, and these teacups are the most ordinary." Zhou Shen picked up the teacup on the table and knocked it carefully, "It's too tasteless." ”

"It's a pretty good drawing, it's simple, clear and clear." Meng Yanzhi looked at the painting, but this paper was a bit particular, and he didn't see it for a while.

"Xuan paper, also known as "millennium paper", rice paper is easy to preserve, not brittle, will not fade, tough and moist, light but not slippery, white and dense, pure texture, non-destructive, strong ink wetting. Zhou Shen pointed to the painting with a look of disbelief, "This is that rice paper?" Look at this broken place, the paper will be rice paper? ”

Yunmo picked up the painting and spread it on the table, Meng Yanzhi and Zhou Shen also stared at the painting, Meng Yanzhi stretched out his hand and stroked and folded it on the paper, he was fortunate to have seen and used rice paper at that time, and the feeling of touching his hand was the same as at that time, "This paper is indeed rice paper!" ”

"The furnishings in this room are simple, and the ash on the table is also several layers thick, and the hall of people generally makes people hang portraits of their ancestors or respected celebrities, but this hall is just hanging this painting, is this painting difficult and peculiar?"

"You're right, it's weird too. Zhou Shen, do you think you've seen this signature seal? Meng Yanzhi pointed to the inconspicuous place in the lower left corner.

"This seal is long, but the seals of celebrities are square, and I have never seen such an unruly seal."

"Brother Yun, what do you think?"

Yunmo stared at this painting carefully, he saw one in the stockade last time, and he saw it here again this time, is there a connection between the two? Or what's missing? "I don't know, I'm researching it when I take it out, and that big guy will definitely come back."

"That's very good."

Then the group returned along the road they had just come, and after passing the long corridor they came to a clearing, in front of which there was a small house, and this water tank was placed outside, and wood and firewood were neatly placed on one side. The chimney on the roof was slowly smoking.

"Hey, this is the kitchen where I came to Xuanyuan last time." Zhou Shen walked towards the kitchen and pushed open the door.

Xuanyuan Hong was hiding inside and eating roast chicken, when he heard footsteps, he followed the board and hid, listening carefully to the movement.

"Go in and have a look." Yunmo looked around backwards, saw no maid walking by, and closed the door with his hand.

"Look, this plate on this board is roast chicken, it looks like it's only been out for a short time, and there are still traces of gnawing here, someone?" Zhou Shen said in a low voice, "Be careful." ”

Meng Yanzhi nodded, and walked forward gently, Xuanyuan Hong heard that the voice was like Zhou Shen's, so he raised his head and prepared to stand up, "Oops, it hurts me to death!" Xuanyuan Hong looked up inadvertently, but bumped into the corner of the table.

"Who, get out of here!"

"It's me, it's me." Xuanyuan Hong rubbed his head.

Seeing that it was Xuanyuan Hong, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Can you kid not be so scary?"

"What's in your hand? Xuanyuan Hong, Xuanyuan Hong, you kid's delicious problem, you really can't change it! Zhou Shen lightly raised Xuanyuan Hong's arm, looking disgusted.

"How did you find this?"

"Is it possible that someone grabbed the collar and threw it over like you?" Seeing Xuanyuan Hong's embarrassed appearance, Zhou Shen smiled treacherously, "It's you, who is Xiaolian?" ”

This interruption, Xuanyuan Hong's question that had just emerged was disrupted. Buckled his head and thought, hey, what did he just want to ask? "Xiaolian, why should I tell you?"

Xuanyuan Hong was holding the roast chicken on the board and was about to bite it down, when Xiaolian pushed open the door and stared at him. The meat that bit down is hanging on the lips.

"Why haven't you left yet, I've never seen such a dead-faced person, I said it, I don't like you!" Xiaolian pushed him away and walked inside, and when she saw that there were other people inside, she glanced at it calmly, "Who are these sons?" ”

"Xiaolian, are you Xiaolian?" Zhou Shen looked at the fat woman in front of him and asked coquettishly.

Xiaolian nodded, her hands crossed her waist, and waited for him to continue.

"Miss Xiaolian, don't be surprised, we are here to find Xuanyuan Hong, he is gone, I found him here last time, this time I brought my brother to see where he was doing, I didn't expect him to steal a roast chicken, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

"Childe, I let him eat that roast chicken, but please take good care of him, don't let him harass me, I'm a person with a fiancΓ©, is this reputation repentant? Tell him not to do such frivolous things in the future, and I'm not welcome next time. ”

"The girl is serious, no, I'll take him away immediately, and I won't disturb the girl." Zhou Shen pulled Xuanyuan Hong's sleeve, and seeing that he didn't react, he snapped and hit it, should this kid really contact this fat woman in the name of roast chicken?

"Let's go, what are you still rubbing?" Zhou Shen pulled Xuanyuan Hong and crackled. Zhou Shen came here last time to find Xuanyuan Hong, but he knew everything about this place, Meng Yanzhi and Yunmo followed behind, and the group arrived at the place where they first saw the corridor, and they forgot to glance at it when they turned around, it was exactly the same, it was the same at the beginning.

"Let's go back to the box first."
