Chapter 6 Chapter 101 Picture Scroll
On a cold night in November 1990, Xiang Yun was born in Xiangtan People's Hospital, and was born an eight-pound baby. [
My parents are antique dealers in the city, and I often travel all over the country to collect genuine antiques with real value because of some gossip. The family situation can be regarded as upper-middle-level, but Xiang Yun is often sent to her grandparents to raise because of the sudden departure of her parents.
But there has always been a shunt in the family, that is, Xiang Yun's grandfather will never be mentioned, even Xiang Yun's father rarely mentions his father, because in their eyes, Xiang Yun's grandfather is a charlatan, specializing in coaxing some feudal and superstitious people to earn money that hurts nature and reason.
And Xiang Yun's most frequently asked question on weekdays is "Who is grandpa?" In the end, however, there is only one answer - a liar.
Until one day, this peaceful and peaceful family was destroyed.
In March 1996, Xiang Yun was only a little over five years old. Xiang Yun's parents obtained from their own news network that a very valuable cultural relic seemed to have been unearthed near the Yellow River Valley in Luoyang, and was obtained by local fishermen. The news is true, and it's worth a trip. After the husband and wife called the fisherman's home several times to stabilize each other's feelings, they immediately rushed to Luoyang by car overnight. Xiang Yun was left alone at her grandparents' house.
However, Xiang Yun's parents' journey was unusually smooth, and the other party seemed to be in a hurry to send this hot antique away, so it was handed over to Xiang Yun's parents at a very low price, and the father and his father returned to Xiangtan with the cultural relics the next day.
When the young Xiang Yun was taken out of her grandparents' house by her parents, she asked to sit in the passenger seat. Therefore, Xiang Yun's mother sat in the back seat, and the antique was packed in a box, and was held tightly in her arms by her mother. During the drive, the family talked and laughed, but when Xiang Yun looked at his mother sitting in the back row in the rearview mirror of Tongguò, next to his mother sat a woman wearing an ancient flower dress and a pale paper umbrella.
However, when Xiang Yun turned her head to look behind her in horror, there was nothing left.
When the family of three returned home, the parents carefully removed the artifacts from the trunk of the car. Xiang Yun followed behind, staring carefully at the things in her parents' hands. In the hands of the two of them is a picture scroll, which, as you can see from the color of the paper, seems to have a very old history.
After the parents returned home, they immediately hung the scroll in the antique collection room, and Xiang Yun naturally followed in curiously.
However, when his parents hung the scroll on the smooth wall and unfolded it. Xiang Yun was immediately frightened and screamed. One of the scrolls is the woman in a flower dress with a pale paper umbrella that I saw in the rearview mirror before. However, the woman's face in the scroll is also half covered by the downward pressure of the umbrella. Reveals reddish lips.
Of course, who would believe the words of a five-year-old baby. Thinking that they had found the treasure, their parents began to contact the buyer that night and quickly finalized the business.
After a night, Xiang Yun always felt that someone was standing in the corner behind the door in the bedroom where she was peeking at her. I had to cover my head with a quilt, and I was able to fall asleep very late.
Early in the morning of the second day, the big boss of his parents came to the door, holding a fat and oily belly and a senior antique appraiser.
Xiang Yun was instructed by her parents not to be mischievous, so she could only sit obediently in the living room and watch TV.
Soon, the appraiser concluded that the scroll was actually the work of a famous artist in the Northern Song Dynasty, and that the materials and dyes used were of the highest quality that could be preserved for a long time. After the big boss who was waiting outside got the affirmation of the appraiser, he directly offered a big price, and Xiang Yun's parents naturally pretended to be calm and accepted it after thinking about it.
But at the last moment, something happened, and the big boss heard that the picture scroll depicted a beautiful woman, so he was ready to admire it first. After walking into the antique collection room under the leadership of Xiang Yun's parents and seeing the woman in the painting, the big boss first praised the sophistication of the painting and the vague beauty of the woman.
But when the big boss approached with his stomach held up and was about to take a closer look, he only heard a 'bang'. The Buddha jade bead hanging around the big boss's neck was all broken and scattered on the ground. When the boss leaned down to pick up one of the jade beads, the beautiful jade, which was originally ice crystal jade muscle, turned out to be black all over.
The big boss immediately dropped a fee and quickly quit after canceling the transaction. This string of jade beads was once when the big boss went to India, a master personally consecrated it, and told the big boss that if the jade beads change one day, he must let go of the current matter, and his life is important.
Xiang Yun's parents were not distressed by the failure of the transaction, but thought that they had really picked up the treasure this time, and there was more than one buyer behind them.
Who knows, in the following time, a succession of buyers came to the door to see this picture, first nodded with satisfaction, and then left as if they had seen a ghost, and then left immediately with an intermediary fee.
Not only that, but something strange happened to Xiang Yun's home. One day, when Xiang Yun's mother got up early in the morning to contact the buyer, she found that the important phone book in the study drawer was missing, and the couple would never put such an important thing anywhere else. As a result, it was found in the final antique collection room, and it was scattered right below the woman's scroll.
In the afternoon of the same day, when Xiang Yun's father came back from outside, he saw a woman with an excellent figure standing in the kitchen wearing a flower dress. The father thought that he had hired a nanny from Yun's mother to take care of his daughter at home, who was often left behind. However, when he asked his wife about this, the latter was suspicious. When the two immediately returned to the kitchen, the woman was nowhere to be seen.
One after another, bosses came and went, the picture scroll became uncared for, and strange things happened at home one after another.
One afternoon, when Xiang Yun's parents, who were suffering at home, were already considering whether to dispose of this work of the Northern Song Dynasty master, there was a hurried knock on the door. However, the two parents knew that no buyer would take the initiative to come to the door, so they asked Xiang Yun to open the door to see who it was.
However, when five-year-old Xiao Xiangyun opened the door of the house in wool slippers, there was an unkempt and poorly dressed old man standing outside the door.
The first time Xiang Yun saw this strange old man, she had a familiar feeling.
"You're Xiang Yun, right?" The old man asked very kindly.
"Yes! How do you know my name, old man? I never seem to have seen you. "Xiao Xiangyun was very cute when she was innocent.
"I'm your grandfather, I have a gift for you today, Xiang Yun, but don't let your parents know, okay? Remember to put the gift from your grandfather under the bed before going to bed, and usually put it on your own body. The old man took out a talisman written in cinnabar from his sleeve and stuffed it into the pocket of Worm Firefly's clothes.
The wrinkled and calloused palms rested on Xiang Yun's unkempt black hair and stroked gently.
However, at this time, the parents of the insect in the hall saw that their daughter went to open the door and did not return for a long time, and heard that there seemed to be a conversation at the door, and immediately realized something and hurriedly ran over.
When the old man saw Worm Firefly's parents coming, he immediately turned away and left his son and daughter-in-law insulting him behind his back.
"Yunyun, that old guy didn't give you anything strange, did he?" Xiang Yun's mother immediately asked.
Xiang Yun lowered her head and shook her head vigorously, as if in her heart, her grandfather was not so bad.
That night, Xiang Yun stood in the antique room and finally made a decision to dispose of this painting scroll early tomorrow morning. After all, compared to money, the happiness and tranquility of a family is the most important.
After Xiang Yun washed up and returned to his room, he remembered his grandfather's advice, took out the rune paper in his pocket, and leaned down to prepare to stick the rune paper under the bed. Who knows, the moment the rune paper was taken out, the golden light flashed and automatically stuck under Xiang Yun's bed. When the little girl saw such an incredible scene, her grandfather added a bit of mystery to her heart.
That night, Xiang Yun no longer felt that someone was peeping at him in the corner of the door of his room, and he slept unusually comfortably.
However, in the middle of the night, there were strange sounds from Xiang Yun's home, as if someone was singing at home, but the sound was intermittent and the tone was poorly grasped, and it was particularly gloomy in the dark.
Xiang Yun's parents were awakened by this strange sound, because the home often has priceless antiques, so basically every corner has the eyeliner of the camera, and the camera transmission terminal is on the computer in the couple's bedroom.
After the two woke up, they immediately turned on the camera terminal to search for where the sound came from.
Soon, however, the two saw a woman with black hair and a shawl standing motionless in front of the TV from the camera screen set up in the living room, but what scared the couple the most was the woman in the picture holding a pale paper umbrella.
The screen flickered, the woman disappeared, and the singing in the room stopped.
The husband and wife could no longer endure such torture, and planned to burn the scroll with fire tonight. After making their plans, the two walked out of the bedroom door and headed towards the antique collection room. At this time, the lights in the home could not be turned on, and I don't know if it was a power outage or some other reason.
The two of them came to the antique room, quickly took off the scroll, and walked towards the kitchen.
There is a hall between the antique room and the kitchen, so the two of them can't help but avoid turning on the TV when they pass through the hall. When he arrives in the kitchen, he plans to turn on the stove and burn the scroll.
However, the moment the stove was turned on, the dark kitchen was illuminated by the firelight. The couple, who were about to throw the scroll into the stove, suddenly began to shake with fear, because at this moment, a woman was watching them in the corner of the kitchen......
The next morning, only two charred corpses and a complete picture of a woman were left in the kitchen. (To be continued......)
