[Because of the heavy rain, all the ponds and rivers were filled with fish almost instantly, and I don't know where they came from. Men, women, and children had almost nothing else to do, they were all catching fish. Every tank is layered on top of each other, and most of the fish are salted in the tank.

I took the two largest salted fish in the house to his house, and found him making a fire in the yard with a basin in front of him, as if he were ...... Pickled fish?

Hu Yi squatted there very quietly in the firelight, holding a handful of fine salt in his hand, sprinkled a little bit on the fish, heard my movement, looked up at me, and his face flushed by the firelight looked good. His gaze fell on the fish in my hand, and he grinned, as if he was very proud, and lifted the fish in his hand and shook it twice.

"This is the fish I caught, you see."

"That's good."

I crouched down and watched him sprinkle the fish with fine salt, "When did you catch it?" How many were caught? ”

"I touched the small lake at night, and I touched a lot of fish, and I almost fell into the lake! Look at it, it's almost full. ”

He proudly invited me to see a porcelain pot with red flowers on a white background in front of him. There were several layers of fish in it, all of which were quite large, and there were no small fish, so it is estimated that he touched the small fish and threw them into the lake.

I put the fish in my hand in the basin, and before he could excuse myself, I saw that there were some oil paintings piled up beside him, which had been dismantled and piled up on the ground, and the wood on the edge of the empty frame was moldy. When I looked closer, the paint on the canvas had not changed, except that it had been loosened and lay on its side, like a terminally ill person who could no longer stand up.

Hu Yi seemed to have packed up the fish, carried the fish into the house, and when he saw me squatting in front of the oil paintings, he explained: "Oh, those are raining, ready to be disposed of." ”

"Processing?"

Before I could react, I saw that the oil paintings that were lying on the ground were thrown into the fire one by one, and the merciless tongue of fire devoured the flower field in the painting, except for the strong pungent smell of paint and the burnt smell of the cloth, there was no such artistic conception that made people palpitate.

He took a slender stick of wood from the wood on the side, took the knife and sharpened it three or two times, and stuffed it into the fish's mouth. When he saw that the canvas had been burned, he urged me, "Next one." ”

I finally understood what he meant by the treatment.

"It's your brainchild, why did you burn it?"

Hu Yi looked at those oil paintings, and his face showed pity and ruthlessness.

"They have been badly damaged, they have lost their souls, and having such paintings around me will affect me, so I have to burn them."

As he spoke, he tore through a painting and threw it into the fire. I could see that it was the sunset, and that was the first time I saw an oil painting. I was excited for a while, and I wanted to reach into the fire to put out the fire, but Hu Yi held me down.

"If something is lost, it's lost, and I'll have more other beautiful paintings," he said. ”

"But their souls are different!"

Ignoring his astonished look, I snatched the stack of canvases from his hand and hid them behind me. He looked at me helplessly, and instead picked up the moldy frames and threw them into the fire.

I got my hands on it, and I didn't stop him from burning it. He turned up the fire and put the fish in his hand into the fire to roast it.

He smiled at me.

"Forget it, I won't fight with children. When I'm full, I can draw more. ”

I suddenly felt cheated and looked at him with my cheeks puffed out. He laughed and sat on the ground concentrating on grilling the fish.

I ate at his house that night. In revenge on him, I ate the belly of the fish, leaving the spiny ones for him to deal with. He was cautiously eating the fish, eating the noodles a little absent-mindedly, I asked him what was wrong, and he said he had an inspiration.

With that, he put down his chopsticks, rushed to the house, picked up his paintbrush and began to paint. I watched him eat half of the grilled fish, and I couldn't help it, so I helped him close the door before leaving, so as to prevent the wild cats from coming and stealing it.

I took the water-stained paintings home, and my mother didn't say anything about them. Before I went to school on the second day, I told my mother to put the oil painting in the shade for me to dry before going out. She didn't pay any attention to me, but I saw the canvases all over the room after school.

As soon as I lost my schoolbag, I went to Hu Yi's small courtyard again.

Unexpectedly, I didn't see anyone when I went in, only a courtyard that looked at me like a mud pit that had been turned over.

I pushed the door open and entered the hall, and found that the light was still on, and the half-eaten plate of grilled fish on the table was still lying on the plate, and no one and no cat continued to eat it.

There's a little light on inside, and I'll go in and take a look, good guy! The man was still standing in front of the easel, busy with his exuberance, and his appearance was a little scary.

didn't notice me coming in, maybe it was his world, and it was no longer possible for reality to influence. I didn't want to get his attention, so I walked behind him to see what he was drawing.

Even if he has a conscience, the easel he uses is a relatively short one. He was half-hunched over and I could see what she was drawing from the side, rather than having to jump around like a clown to look at it from a height.

At first, I looked at the green grass, the color was very comfortable, and the grass leaves reflected the glimmer of the sun, as if there was a breeze blowing the scent of grass from the front. But when I looked at it, I felt that something was wrong, as if some grass was used in the wrong color, and it seemed to ...... Somewhat off-white?

When I looked closer, I saw that it wasn't the wrong color of the grass at all, but grayish-white bones scattered among the grass. Some grass grows out of the cracks in the bones, and some have bent grass pressed under the bones.

I followed the bones one by one, and looked forward, under the thick grass, the shape of a skeleton protruded, the slender leaves of the grass reflected the glimmer of the sun, and a butterfly was obsessively lying on the leaves, sucking the sun's rays.

I watched as the butterfly, gradually endowed with a soul, fluttering in fascination among the grass......

After a long time, Hu Yi seemed to suddenly return to reality, shook his neck from side to side, became lazy, and exhaled a long breath. He wiped the pen in his hand on the newspaper and placed it on the table. Only then did they see me, and they stared at me in surprise, as if they were frightened. I smirked at him.

"Have you been here for a long time? Why don't you call me? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy. I've learned a lot! ”

He looked at me with interest: "Tell me, what have you learned?" ”

I pretended to pick up his paintbrush, scribble it on the torn newspaper, and looked at him defiantly. He looked at me blankly.

I said, "Look, I've learned your skills, but you can't learn mine, shouldn't you call me master instead?" ”

He was stunned and laughed. He touched my head, then took out a wooden palette from a drawer and handed it to me: "I took the time to make it for you out of wood." But you have to have your own painting tools, and the paint can be mine. ”

"Painting tools?"

"Paintbrushes, scrapers. Since you want to learn oil painting, these basic entry conditions will of course be solved by yourself. How? Not happy? Hu Yi squinted at it, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly waved my hand: "I'm willing, I'll figure it out myself." ”

Hu Yi nodded in satisfaction, his eyes returned to their original brightness and roundness, and he was full of bookish anger. Looking at the dirt bags all over the yard, his eyes bent again.

And just like that, I had my first color palette. But I lost a lot of face in order to buy a paintbrush. 】

Lin Yilan said: "It's nothing to you, right? ”

Staring at the sea. In front of him, the kid who was always frowning and thinking about making money appeared.

For the next half month, the children did not go to the small courtyard much. He always came home late after school, and his parents didn't say anything when they asked, but there were already rumors among the children that "Xiang Hai picked up the rags", and Xiang Hai was ashamed of this, but at the same time, he was satisfied with the increase in the thickness of the change in his hand.

Finally one day, the "alliance leader" Chen Om appeared in front of Xiang Hai, who had just sold a plastic bag drink bottle, with the left and right protectors, and stretched out his hand. Xiang Hai rolled his eyes and was about to go around, but the left and right sides blocked the road tightly, Chen Om sneered: "Yo! I don't learn well with homosexuality, I leave without saying hello when I see me, and I don't know what to buy me to eat when I earn money. ”

Xiang Hai clenched the money in his pocket and stared at the three people in front of him with an unkind expression: "Chen Om, get out of the way, otherwise I will tell your grandma." ”

"Yo Yo Yo - is it so crazy? I also told my grandmother that if you have the ability, you will go if you are not afraid of being beaten! Xiang Hai bypassed the three of them and wanted to run, but one of them grabbed his schoolbag and restrained him, and the other two pounced on him and pushed him to the ground. One person went to pick his pocket, one person went to zip his school bag, and the other person grabbed his neck, and Xianghai was in a difficult situation.

"Roll ......"

Xiang Hai tightly covered his pocket and slammed the man's nose, and the man screamed and covered his nose and turned over and cried. The other person was frantically kicked in the stomach by Xiang Hai and flew out, leaving Chen Om, who grabbed his neck, was the most difficult. The other two suffered a loss and didn't dare to step forward, so they watched a fat and a thin two people rolling around on the ground and fighting endlessly, and there was no win or loss in the sky.

The two began to persuade them, but to no avail. Until the four of them heard the shouts of Chen Om's grandmother coming to Chen Om for dinner at the same time. Chen Om spat on the ground and said that you wait for me, and I will beat you next time. Xiang Hai stomped his feet and said, who is afraid of whom?

This battle is easy to say, but it is not easy.

He sat there at the wall for a long time, if it weren't for the two cowards who didn't dare to step forward, he would definitely be robbed of money today. Lao He is really right, it's really not easy to learn after you want to-

Despite his efforts to pat off the dust on his body, he was reprimanded by his mother and punished for washing dishes after eating. Fortunately, tomorrow was the weekend, and he ignored his parents' surprised eyes and insisted on finishing his weekend homework with the lamp, which made his mother feel a little guilty, and boiled water and washed an egg for him to drink.

Xiang Hai bar smacked his mouth twice, as if he was reminiscing about the rarely drunk eggs in his memory. The mobile phone in his pocket rang, he came back to his senses, Lin Yilan ate rose honey tea in the kitchen, touched the mobile phone, went upstairs, closed the door of the study and pressed the answer button.

"There's a beautiful woman coming for an interview today, and I took it, and as soon as I entered the store, I stared at the painting, and I saw that it was almost her, and I waited for her to show her tail."

"Be careful not to startle the snake."

"Don't worry, you can rest assured that I will do things. Alas, by the way, since that day, several groups of reporters have contacted me to interview Haiyi, but I have refused. That ghost is also in there, how about it? Do you want to ......?"

"Say no three times."

Xu Jiang was silent for a while, and pouted: "Damn, you are too treacherous!" You can't be in business, or I'll run out of food. ”

Xiang Hai glanced at the door of the study and whispered, "Don't forget not to startle the snake, don't do superfluous things, hang up first." ”

As soon as he hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Yilan opened the door with a teapot and a teacup.
