37 Old paintings

After shopping for a long time, the most attractive thing is a grocery store. It's everything, but it's not new.

Strictly speaking, this is a thrift store, old clothes, old furniture, old books, old furnishings, fake antiques, etc., all old. However, the condition is not bad, and some of them still look the same as new. Of course, there are also a lot of old calligraphy and painting books in the store.

Of course, Qiuqiu didn't have that kind of unrealistic dream, what pulled out of the old pile of broken copper and iron was actually a certain cow X artifact, and since then, Qiuqiu has called the wind and the rain god to block and kill the god and the Buddha. That kind of thing was in novels in the last life, and there are also legends in this life, but the reason why these things only appear in novels and legends is that the credibility is very low, and the second is that even if it is true, the probability is only 1 in 10 million, 1 in 100 million.

Qiuqiu scraped so many invoices in her previous life, and only won a five-yuan consolation prize. With her luck, the probability of finding treasure in these old goods is infinitely close to zero.

The old goods more or less tasted, Jing Fei stood at the door and didn't like to come in: "What do you want to buy?" ”

"It's okay, you and Senior Sister go ahead and wait for me first, I'll rummage through here."

Jing Fei glanced into the store: "Then we will wait for you in the teahouse in front, you come quickly." ”

Qiuqiu smiled and nodded, and Jinglan asked her, "Is the money enough?" He shoved her with a money bag.

Qiuqiu began to wander around the store, and there were really all kinds of things in the store, and I didn't know where these things came from. She was interested in some old books, and although the books in this country town could not be compared to those in the library on the hill, some of them were also very interesting. Qiuqiu picked up a few books, and then saw that there were some old painting scrolls behind the pile of books, of different lengths and sizes, and a layer of ash fell on them, it seemed that no one had touched it for a long time, and the shopkeeper did not have the heart to take care of it.

Qiuqiu picked up a scroll to paint, the tether on it was about to rot, and when he opened the painting, the smell of damp mildew made people's noses itch. Qiuqiu couldn't help but turn her face away and sneezed hard for two big sneezes before turning her head to look at the painting.

Qiuqiu was stunned.

The outside of the painting scroll has mildew spots and it is impossible to see its true color, but the painting inside is actually very well preserved.

But that's not the point. The point is, how does the scenery on this painting look familiar!

The lake in the quiet moonlight, the surface of the lake is like a mirror, the moon is as round as it is, so low, as if it is about to fall into the lake.

This scene is so familiar!

Qiuqiu never thought that the crowd would look for it thousands of times, and this scenery would actually appear in such a dilapidated painting.

She was in no mood to look at anything else, so she went to the shopkeeper with this painting.

The shopkeeper was an old man, napping behind the high counter, Qiuqiu shouted twice before he poked his head out and looked at the things in her hand: "One tael and five dollars of silver." ”

Qiuqiu tiptoed high to payβ€”height was really her bruise, and she had grown from a three-headed body to a five-headed body, but when she stood here, she realized that she was not as tall as this counter.

"Shopkeeper, where did this painting come from?"

The old man shook his head, took the money, and shrank back into the counter.

Qiuqiu couldn't ask anything, so she could only put the books and paintings into the Qiankun bag and go to find Jinglan and Jingfei.

There must be a connection between the painting and the place she visited that day. That space has such a strong aura, it is by no means an ordinary place. But this painting was buried in such a small thrift store, and she picked up a big leak.

Maybe she'll find more clues.

Jing Fei called a table full of pastries, her small mouth was deformed, her cheeks bulged, and she waved at her from afar.

This girl has such a good appetite! Raw and cold, sweet, salty, and sour are interspersed with eating, from Qiuqiu coming in to her walking to the table, Jing Fei stuffed at least three more things into her mouth.

Qiuqiu felt that she was greedy, but Jingfei was even more exaggerated than her.

"How much have you eaten? Beware of turning back and feeling sick to your stomach. ”

Jing Fei said vaguely: "No, Senior Sister brought me digestion powder." ”

Well, Qiuqiu has nothing to say.

Jinglan asked, "What did you buy?" ”

"A few old books, old paintings or something."

Obviously, Jinglan and Jingfei were not interested in old books and paintings, and Jinglan didn't ask any more.

Jing Fei ate enough food to feed a cow, and packed a lot of them to take back, saying that she would give them to her senior brother to taste, and take the rest back to the mountains to eat slowly.

Qiuqiu didn't take the painting out of the Qiankun bag, firstly, this thing is definitely not simple, and secondly, the appearance and smell are too bad, and it needs to be cleaned up.

It was dark outside, and it was already time to hold the lamp, so Senior Sister Jinglan found an excuse to go out, Qiuqiu guessed that she was probably going to find Senior Brother Jingyue. Jing Fei went to bed early, and she didn't stop tossing today, which was enough for her to be tired.

Qiuqiu spread out the paper under the lamp, studied the ink, and retraced the painting on the paper according to memory.

I didn't look closely at the thrift store in the afternoon, and Qiuqiu is now drawing it while comparing it with the lake in my memory.

It's almost identical, and it's exactly the same.

Qiuqiu sat down and looked at the painting inch by inch. The moon, the lake, and the tall old trees are the three main things on the map. The most conspicuous is the moon, and the largest area is the lake, but the tree is also not to be ignored, it grows right by the lake, I don't know how many years it has grown, the roots are coiled, and the green leaves are stretched.

What the hell is this place?

Qiuqiu didn't have a clue at all. She regretted it a little, she should have rummaged through the pile of old paintings in the afternoon, and there might be more clues.

It was dark now, but it didn't stop her from going out.

When Qiuqiu pushed the door out, Jing Fei was turning over behind her, and she slapped her mouth twice, maybe she would eat again in her dream.

From a distance, the town stands out in the darkness. Those who were tightly gathered, the light came out of the many windows, which made Qiuqiu trance. This is not the case on the mountain, where there are few lights and glowstone is used for lighting.

This is the gap between immortals. On the one hand, it is cold and detached, and on the other hand, it is lively but short-lived.

Many shops have closed, and only some restaurants and tea houses still have customers. Qiuqiu walked along the street and successfully found the thrift store in the afternoon.

The store hasn't closed yet, but it's already halfway up the door.

Qiuqiu stood at the door, didn't see the person in the store, and the shopkeeper didn't know where to go.

She stood in the doorway and asked, "Anyone?" ”

After a while, no one answered, and Qiuqiu walked in.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

It's been a week since the root canal treatment was done, and the mending was also made, but the smell of medicine in my mouth was still so heavy, and even getting heavier and heavier, I really didn't want to go to the follow-up clinic anymore.
