Chapter 41: Selling Paintings

In the ancient spirit of the fast.

More than half a month has passed since Ning Ming went to sea, and Yan Hong has already woken up, so she lived here, Ning Ming disagreed at first, after all, men and women are different, and it is inconvenient to live together after all.

Actually, it's used to being alone, and suddenly there's another person who really isn't used to it.

Moreover, Yan Hong can't cook, can't do housework, and can't warm the bed and fold the quilt, which is really not good.

Ning Ming had to wait for three meals a day every day, and if it weren't for Yan Hong's injury, he would have been swept out of the house a long time ago.

In fact, Ning Ming was unwilling to admit that Yan Hong's rent was so generous that people couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"Ning Ming, when are we leaving?"

This is what Yan Hong must ask three times a day, and it is more punctual and troublesome than eating.

"Wait."

This is Ning Ming's only answer, and there are only three words forever.

On this day, Ning Ming and Yan Hong were sitting boredly in the rocking chairs, and a timid little head was at the door of Gu Lingzhai, constantly poking out their heads and looking at it several times, as if they wanted to come in, but they didn't dare.

Ning Ming and Yan Hong both found out, but Ning Ming didn't say anything, and Yan Hong wouldn't say much.

The little girl finally mustered up the courage to walk in, holding a rectangular box tightly in her arms, looking a little old, first looked Ning Ming and Yan Hong up and down, and then said timidly, "Excuse me, is the boss there?" ”

Ning Ming got up and said with a smile, "I'm the boss, is there something wrong?" ”

The little girl glanced at Ning Ming, hesitated, and said, "I want to sell paintings." ”

Selling paintings?

Ning Ming looked at the little girl, ordinary clothes, at first glance, it was an ordinary child, her face was a little timid, and even her voice began to tremble, the rectangular box in her arms was taller than herself, and she was tightly held in her arms, holding it very tightly, like the last straw.

"Can I take a look?" Ning Ming asked.

The little girl obviously hesitated, wanted to hand out the box, but was unwilling, and finally slowly let go, "My grandfather said that this is an ancient painting, very valuable, I want to sell it." ”

Ning Ming carefully took the box, and after opening it, there was indeed a pair of scrolls that even the paper was yellow.

Yan Hong also stepped forward to watch.

"Is it worth it?" The little girl asked anxiously.

Ning Ming slowly unfolded the scroll and was immediately startled, "This is!" ”

Yan Hong looked at the painting, but it was Zou Mei, this is indeed a painting, and it is a magnificent river flow map, the brush is clear, the artistic conception is long, as if I really saw a big river rushing out, but in the painting is not only the river flowing, there are many traces of graffiti on its top and bottom, as if it was a little girl's random graffiti, which damaged the painting.

Ning Ming looked at the painting and was silent for a long time.

"Is it worth it?" The little girl asked again, only this time she wanted to retreat, but Ning Ming remained silent for a long time, making her a little afraid.

Seeing Ning Ming's expression like this, the little girl wanted to leave.

"How much do you want?" Ning Ming took the scroll and asked.

The little girl was stunned, originally thinking that Ning Ming would not accept her paintings, but she didn't expect Ning Ming to intentionally take them away, hesitated, and stretched out three fingers, "Three hundred!" He immediately shook his head and stretched out five more fingers, "Five hundred!" ”

"Deal!" Ning Ming smiled and gave the little girl five hundred yuan.

The little girl looked at the money in her hand and bowed deeply to Ning Ming, "Thank you, big boss, I wish you a prosperous business!" After saying that, he ran away.

"Little Heavenly Soldier, follow her!"

Although Yan Hong was puzzled, she also followed.

The little girl was so happy that she didn't notice that Yan Hong was following her, and trotted all the way into an alley.

In the alley, a beautiful woman in a big red trench coat leaned against the wall, spit out a puff of smoke, and when she saw the little girl running, she flicked off the cigarette butt in her hand.

"Big sister, I'...... I am back. The little girl was like a child who had done something wrong, and she didn't dare to look at the woman in red, but only dared to whisper timidly.

"Sell it." The beautiful woman's voice is very good.

"Well," the little girl nodded vigorously, "that big brother took it." ”

"Very well," the beautiful woman touched the little girl's head, "let's go, grandpa is waiting for you." ”

The little girl blushed and took out three hundred yuan, "This is money." It's just that his eyes dodge, and he doesn't dare to look at the woman.

The woman smiled and refused the money, "You take it, I should improve the food for you." ”

The little girl shook her head, but when she saw that the woman insisted on not to, her face turned even redder, she gritted her teeth, and bent deeply to the woman, "Big sister, I'm sorry, I lied, in fact, it was sold for five hundred, and I took two hundred more," took out all the money, "I'm sorry, children shouldn't lie, and they shouldn't take so much more money." ”

"It's okay," the woman chuckled, very gently, "you have all the money, you and your grandfather need it more." ”

"Big sister?"

"Let's go," the woman glanced at the alley and smiled, even more beautiful, "Big sister wants to see someone." ”

"Thank you, big sister," the little girl put the money in her pocket and patted it hard before running away.

Yan Hong walked over, she clearly felt an extraordinary aura in the woman's body, and concluded that this woman was definitely not an ordinary person, "Who are you?" ”

The woman in red took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff of smoke before saying, "Tell Ning Ming that I gave him what he wanted, the old rules." After speaking, he turned around and left, and the lotus step moved lightly, which was natural and beautiful.

"Stop!" The air flow in the red palm is chaotic.

"You're not my opponent," the woman in red kept walking, "Just stay by Ning Ming's side and treat him well, don't lose him." ”

Yan Hong didn't believe it, what she hated the most was that others said that she was inferior to others, and she took a few steps forward, and she slapped it with one palm.

The woman in red flashed her eyes, turned around and punched, forcing Yan Hong back!

Yan Hong immediately felt that her right hand was numb, and she was no longer conscious, she looked at the woman in red vigilantly, and was horrified in her heart, what is going on in this world, how many peerless masters are hidden, is she too weak, or is this master in the world too strong, how can I see a god-like existence recently.

"Tell Ning Ming, it's good that I've been here." The woman in red let out a puff of smoke and disappeared from Yan Hong's sight.

Yan Hong looked at her palm in pain, and a pain of broken bones came, which hurt her heart, but Yan Hong was forced to endure and not say a word.

Ning Ming was still looking at the calligraphy and painting, and saw Yan Hong coming back, although Yan Hong behaved very naturally, but at a glance she saw through her forbearant right hand, "Did you do it with someone?" ”

Yan Hong nodded, "Yes, a woman, she asked me to tell you, she gave you what you wanted, old rules." ”

Ning Ming nodded, sure enough, "Sure enough, it's her." ”

"Ning Ming, who is she?" Yan Hong rubbed her sore right hand, her appearance was fine, not even the slightest redness and swelling, but inside, whether it was hand bones or flesh, the meridians and blood vessels were all in severe pain without exception.

Ning Ming took out a bottle without a half-point label and production label, and there were only three handwritten words on it, hand cream!

"Apply it, or your hands will be completely unable to move tomorrow."

Yan Hong glanced at this so-called hand cream, what kind of inferior product is this, and will there be side effects.

"Give me back if you dislike it."

Yan Hong is not as stupid as before, she also knows that Ning Ming's things are all good things, even the heavenly realm and the demon realm are difficult to find, although this hand cream does not look very good, but it is definitely a good thing.

Applied to his hand, a cool breath invaded the inside of his palm like acupuncture, except for the coolness and no pain, "Ning Ming, you haven't answered my words yet." ”

"She," Ning Ming glanced at the sky outside, as if recalling, "Her name is Ye Qing, and she is my apprentice." ”
