"Wait a minute, and I'll go and report it." After saying that, the small window closed.

After a long time, the door slowly opened, and the moment the door opened, Cheng Yang saw that the gate was 10 centimeters thick, and it seemed that it was impossible to break through.

There was a car parked at the door, and the door closed automatically after Cheng Yang and Lu Qiu walked in.

"Please get in the car, the old lady is making dolls in the back." Said the man who seemed to be the housekeeper.

Cheng Yang nodded, and then got into the car, after Lu Qiu got into the car, the car began to drive inside, there was a huge orchard on both sides and an artificial lake, many workers on the road stopped to look at the vehicle, and waited for the car to leave before continuing to work.

"This is only a part of the orchard, and it is also the outermost part of the entire castle, and the orchard here will be provided with fruits and vegetables for the shops outside, and the inside is very large, and the old lady said that if the two of you have not eaten, you can go to eat first."

"Let's meet the old lady first." Cheng Yang said.

"Okay."

Soon an iron fence appeared in front of Cheng Yang's eyes, and a gate stopped the vehicle.

"It's Steward Hu, is there a guest coming?" Outside the door, he walked to the car window and asked.

"Old lady's guest." Steward Hu said.

"Okay, I'll open the door right away." After saying that, the doorman went to a small room on the side, and soon the gate was raised. After the vehicle entered, Cheng Yang found that the number of guards had increased significantly.

After crossing a bridge, Cheng Yang realized that he had just entered the core area of the entire ancient castle.

"You two can walk with me in a while, some places are very dark, please pay attention to your step." Steward Hu said.

"Okay, thanks for the reminder." Cheng Yang said.

Soon the car stopped, and after the three of them got out of the car, Steward Hu began to walk inside, Cheng Yang and Lu Qiu followed, there are indeed places in the castle that are very dark, and it is the kind of brightness that only has a little bit of light, in fact, it can also be invisible.

But soon Steward Hu opened a door, which was brightly lit and luxuriously decorated, with a top made of gold and a chandelier embellished with precious stones.

"You two can wait here for a while, and I'll go in and call the old lady." Steward Hu said.

Cheng Yang nodded, and after Steward Hu left, Cheng Yang said: "It's too luxurious, it seems that this old lady is a powerful character." ”

"You don't look like you haven't seen the world, this is the basic operation, every counselor knows non-rich and upper, except for those you know, I really don't see any difference in the people you originally knew."

"You don't understand this appreciative eye." Cheng Yang said.

Lu Qiu didn't continue, but looked at an oil painting in the distance and was stunned, and said to Cheng Yang after a long time: "Xie Ping's painting." ”

"Huh? Any questions? Cheng Yang asked.

"There's something wrong with the painting." Lu Qiu said.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, there's another layer in this painting."

"You're right, it's true that there is a picture-in-picture, but I asked Xie Ping to draw it, I heard that Xie Ping asked you to get the doll?" An old woman walked out from behind the door, followed by Steward Hu and a man in a suit.

"Yes, Mr. Xie Ping asked us to come." Cheng Yang said.

The old lady looked at Cheng Yang and said, "The doll is ready to come out, I'll let the housekeeper send you down the mountain from behind later, do you have time to have lunch with me, the old woman?" ”

Cheng Yang wanted to leave after taking something, but the other party had already taken the initiative to invite him, so he had to agree with a smile, after all, he was here to pick up something, and the other party was not someone he knew.

came to the restaurant and sat down, and the tableware was then brought up, and the tableware made of gems was particularly dazzling, but Cheng Yang didn't care very much. The lunch was very rich, and there were nearly ten dishes for a single dish.

"Thank you, old lady, for entertaining us." Cheng Yang said.

"You're welcome, the person Xie Ping called must be the same as him, we haven't seen him for almost 20 years, how is he now, is he still so young?" The old lady asked.

Cheng Yang was stunned by the fact that he was still so young, but then he said: "Yes, it looks like he is 40 years old." ”

"He still hasn't changed, so many years have passed in time. Do you know why his paintings are valuable? I thought he was 40 years old when I first met him, but after all these years, he is still so young, and his paintings may have hidden secrets, so they are bought at a high price. The old lady said.

"Are you the same?" Lu Qiu said suddenly.

"I'm different." As she spoke, the old lady's eyes changed slightly.

"I like his paintings very much, I can always find inspiration in his paintings, and it also makes my whole person relax, his paintings are very quiet, it feels like a lake, as long as you touch it lightly, it will become waves in circles, and then slowly return to its original state."

Cheng Yang seemed to think of something and said, "Old lady, what does that painting on the wall look like?" ”

"It's a mirror, it's been there since I came to this castle, I used to always hear the sound of children crying here, and when I came back and painted another picture on top of it, the sound disappeared." The old lady echoed.

"Did Mr. Xie Ping say anything to you?" Cheng Yang continued to ask.

"It seems that he said something, but I don't know it anymore, Steward Hu, come over here." The old lady said.

Steward Hu walked up to the old lady from the corner and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the old lady?" ”

"Do you remember what Xie Ping said when he came?" The old lady asked.

"Yes. Mr. Xie Ping said that the mirror of this painting is a hollow, enveloping the entire castle, and the castle has no place to hold, so it keeps crying, if one day someone sees the picture on the wall, it means that the mirror has appeared again, and only a few dolls are needed as payment. Steward Hu said.

The old lady was silent for a while and said, "Did you two Xie Ping call to solve the problem?" ”

Cheng Yang knew that if he didn't solve this problem, he might not be able to take the doll back, but Xie Ping didn't say that he wanted to solve the trouble, so Cheng Yang didn't open his mouth to agree.

After lunch, Cheng Yang walked outside the castle to contact Xie Ping, Xie Ping did not connect, and replied with a text message: Remember to bring the painting back.

Take the painting back with you? Cheng Yang didn't understand what it meant, Xie Ping didn't answer the phone, so Cheng Yang could only take the painting back according to Xie Ping's words.

Back in the castle, Lu Qiu was chatting happily with the old lady, and when he saw Cheng Yang coming in, Lu Qiu asked, "What did Xie Ping say?" ”

"Say let's take the painting back." Cheng Yang said honestly.

When the old lady heard this, she smiled and said: "This painting can't be taken off, Xie Ping wanted to take it off at that time, but he couldn't take it off, and in the end he could only paint another layer on the basis of the original painting." ”

Hearing the old lady say this, Cheng Yang felt even more interesting, I am afraid that there is something hidden behind the painting that cannot be taken off.
