Chapter 119: Portrait
"Gege, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to find here, and I wouldn't have been able to see my grandfather and grandmother, and it's also delusional to return to the roots."
Xiaoyu held my hand quietly, I knew that she trusted me, maybe in front of me, she would have a sense of security.
"Xiaoyu, don't say that, I'm just a gesture, I actually didn't help you much, you don't have to do this, and I have to thank you, if you hadn't asked me to send you ashes back, I wouldn't have come out of the palace, out of the palace, I found out that the outside was also very good."
I didn't know how to say it to Xiaoyu, but I still waved my hand, looking like I didn't need to thank for a trivial matter.
"You can meet Xiaoyu?"
And at this moment, the room was suddenly pushed open, and the old woman was standing in front of the door, her face was a little ugly, and the eyes that looked at me were also strange, and her face was full of incredulity.
"Old woman?"
I was startled, and looked at the old woman with a panicked face, and at this time, Xiaoyu also turned her head to look at the old woman and shouted a grandmother, seeing that the old woman couldn't hear it at all, she turned her head to look at me again.
"Old woman, come in and sit down!"
I was at a loss, and I was stunned for a long time before I stepped forward to help the old woman in, and I quickly closed the door, for fear that Aunt Wang and Qixi would find out about it.
"You tell me clearly, how did Xiaoyu die?"
The old woman entered the house and did not sit down, but looked at me with a nervous expression. And for the fact that I can see Xiaoyu, she is even more incredible.
"That's right, I can indeed see Xiaoyu, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find your home, and I wouldn't be able to send Xiaoyu back."
I lowered my head, I couldn't hide this matter if I wanted to hide it, I was caught by others, how could I make it up, how could I deceive it?
Could it be that I told her that I was talking to myself? Although the old people are also people in feudal society, it does not mean that they have no thoughts, it does not mean that they are lumps of wood, as long as they are people, they will have thoughts and souls, even if they are slaves.
"Is Xiaoyu still in this room?"
Listening to my words, the old woman was clever, and then her face was full of excitement, and then she looked at the large number of people in the room, and went to rummage through the bed, and looked under the bed, but she couldn't see Xiaoyu, and it was all for nothing.
And Xiaoyu was standing beside me at this time, already crying with tears streaming down her face, and her eyes were slightly red and swollen.
"Old woman, don't be like this, don't you be like this, okay?"
I watched the old woman look for it and cry alone, she was crying dry, although she was still sobbing, but I couldn't see a tear fall.
I look very uncomfortable, how have they spent so many years, whether he and the old village chief wash their faces with tears every day, whether they live this life of missing their relatives and thinking of pain every day.
At this time, Xiaoyu on the side was also bitter, and for a while I didn't know how to comfort the two of them, one person, one ghost, very difficult.
"Can you show me Xiaoyu? Let me have a few words with him! ”
The old woman grabbed my hand, her eyes full of pleading, begging.
"Old woman, it's not that I don't help you, but I can't do this, only I can see Xiaoyu, and you can't see it, I can be an intermediary between you and pass on the word to you."
At this time, I was also embarrassed, I could see this, she couldn't see ghosts without my eyes.
"Okay, okay, you can talk to us, tell me what my granddaughter told me?"
When the old woman heard me say this, she hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed, and couldn't wait to hear what Xiaoyu had to say.
"Grandmother, I've wanted to come back all these years, but I can't find my way, and I can't get out of the palace, I'm sorry for you."
I told Xiaoyu's words to the old woman, and the old woman immediately cried again, saying that it was all their fault back then, if they had hidden Xiaoyu earlier, the current tragedy would not have happened, and what a happy life their family should have.
I don't know what to say, Xiaoyu also cried a lot. After all, this matter was caused by the bad guys who robbed Xiaoyu, they are a group of human traffickers, these people have to ruin their families for their own personal gain.
Then I passed a lot of words to the old woman, and at the beginning, she and Xiaoyu were chatting and crying vigorously, all saying that they were sorry for Xiaoyu back then, but they didn't hide Xiaoyu well.
But after chatting and chatting, the two of them showed smiling faces, and the knot that had not been untied for many years was also untied, which was also a good thing, at least everyone was relieved.
Especially the old woman and the old village chief, both of them are now a lot of age, but they have been guilty and sad for so many years. This has a great impact on their bodies, but now that the knot is untied, they can live with peace of mind in the future.
"Oh, old woman, do you have a pen and paper at home? Xiao Yu is going to be reincarnated sooner or later, and I have to leave here, I can draw Xiao Yu, and when the time comes, you can look at her portrait when you miss her. ”
I suddenly remembered that I also had the identity of a painter, and I thought that I had studied painting when I was in the Republic of China, and I had a small achievement, so it was good to draw a portrait of Xiaoyu at this time.
Didn't the old woman and the old village chief see Xiaoyu? Then I can also fulfill their wishes, and the feeling of adult beauty is always good.
"The girl can draw portraits? It's really good, the old man happens to like to write and draw at ordinary times, and he has pen and ink! ”
The old woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and she recited the words in her mouth, and then she ran out to get pen, ink and paper.
"Gege, you can also draw?"
Xiaoyu walked up to me, her face full of incredulity, she didn't expect me to paint portraits of people.
"I can draw, and I'm still a little accomplished, but I forgot about it just now."
I grinned, and I still have a lot of confidence in painting portraits.
"Do you draw like it?"
Xiaoyu looked at me questioningly, not convinced.
"Don't believe it, I'll tell you, I'll definitely paint you a real picture in a while, the original wood is like a photo, carved out of a mold."
When it comes to not believing me, I still have self-confidence, and I am relishing it, and if you don't believe me, then I have to make you completely believe me, not just say it, I will draw it.
"Take a picture?"
Xiaoyu looked confused, as if she was listening to some strange thing, and she didn't understand what I meant by taking photos?
"Well, that means it's exactly the same as you."
I scratched my head with a black thread and explained to her.
"It's coming, it's coming, I've found all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."
At this time, the old woman walked in with the four treasures of the study, and her expression was the same as when she went out, her face was full of excitement and joy.
"Xiaoyu, you stand in a better position, it's night, I have to draw you as well as possible!"
I have to say that there is no TV is very hard, and the old woman is still bankrupt, and even lit a lamp for us, it seems to be a tung oil lamp.
You must know that in this era, it is already a luxury for dogs to be able to light up at night, and few families do it. As long as it is dark, the whole ground is pitch black, which I saw when I was in the Republic of China, unless it is in a big city, it is pitch black.
And the Qing Dynasty, whether it is urban or rural, is dark, and the imperial palace is an exception.
"Xiaoyu, you raise your hand again and raise your head a little more."
Xiaoyu corrected it again according to my words, and I suddenly felt that her posture was quite seductive, like a model car.
The whole person stood straight with one foot, bent sideways with the other foot, and then his hands were slightly crossed at the waist, looking at me sideways, very temperamental.
I've never taken Xiaoyu seriously before, so I think she's really beautiful, and if she's wearing a pair of super shorts and high heels, she's definitely a big beauty.
It's a pity that she was in this Qing Dynasty and was harmed by this feudal etiquette.
"Xiaoyu, you are so beautiful!"
I sincerely admired, if I were a man, I would definitely be tempted. A beauty like Xiaoyu is really rare, and she has an innate temperament, as if she is a king.
It's just that she has been called by people in the palace all the year round, and she is in such a feudal society where men are inferior to women, no matter how beautiful she is, no matter how rare she is, it will not reflect her superiority.
Xiaoyu smiled slightly, and did not reply to my words, and the old woman also walked to my side at this time to find me a tung oil lamp, and I began to write.
I still learned a lot when I first learned to draw with Liu Haili, and I will never forget the scene when he painted me, just looked at me, and then painted me so similar, lifelike and vivid.
I started writing, in reality, Xiaoyu's head, whether the head shape can be drawn accurately is the key, and then it has nothing to do, especially the eyes.
The head of a painting is not a portrait, the most important thing is the eyes, whether you can draw the image and temperament of the protagonist depends on you painting her pair of eyes, the eyes are drawn, the temperament will come out, and the meaning of the portrait will come out.
Of course, although I am also very good, and I was still known as a painter in the Republic of China, I am still not as good as Liu Haili, and I can't paint the whole painting so well with just one glance like him.
And Xiaoyu, who looked at me and painted it in a good way, and questioned me at the beginning, also changed at this time, and slowly revealed a sense of trust, trust in me.
