Chapter 5 The Man in the Painting

Zhang's mother bought the fabric, and I had to make a cheongsam for Qian Huili first. Our Wu family has always had a rule for making cheongsam, before making clothes, we must first say the eight characters of birth.

"Your rules are really weird, you have to talk about eight characters when you wear clothes, you have to talk about eight characters when you make clothes, are you a tailor or a fortune teller?" Qian Huili asked me.

I smiled and said, "Miss Qian, just say it." "Actually, I have another purpose, I knew Huizhen's birth date before, if Qian Huili and her were twin sisters, the two of them should be almost the same.

"Well, I only know that my birthday on the solar calendar is May 5, 1993, and my birth time is half past seven in the morning." Qian Huili said.

I calculated carefully, looked at today's Lord Tiangan again, shook my head and said, "I'm afraid I can't make clothes for Miss Qian today." ”

"Why?"

"Miss Qian's day is the main heavenly stem for the fire, but Tuwang lacks wood and has too much gold. Unfortunately, today the sky is gold, tomorrow the sky is wood, and only by waiting until tomorrow to make clothes for you will it be beneficial to you. I said seriously.

Qian Huili spread her hands and said: "Okay, the fifth generation of your Wu family is a tailor, there must be a way, you say tomorrow will be tomorrow." ”

However, I know that Qian Huili is not lying, her birth date is exactly the same as Huizhen, and she looks the same, what is it if she is not a twin sister?

As we spoke, two policemen walked in. They came to investigate the loss of the cheongsam, and I clearly remember that I didn't call the police, why did the police come by themselves?

"I called the police." Sun Bin walked down from upstairs, holding a cigar in one hand: "Mr. Wu's things are lost, if you don't check them clearly, I'm also a concern." ”

This guy is afraid of blackmailing his money, right? I sneered: "It's okay, then it's troublesome comrade police." ”

I told me about last night, the police did not find any damage to the doors and windows, the password package was not damaged, and they also checked the rooms of Qian Huili and Zhang's mother, and they also found nothing.

"Please open this house." A police officer pointed to the storage room.

Sun Bin personally opened the lock and explained: "The things inside are all legally bought by me, you have to be careful, they are all valuable." ”

I followed the police in, and my eyes fell on the painting again. I looked at the woman wearing a cheongsam in the oil painting, and I felt more and more intimate, and I always felt that I had seen it somewhere.

"The cheongsam I lost is the same as the one in the painting." I pointed to the painting.

Qian Huili leaned over and said, "Oh, I didn't notice it before, the cheongsam worn by the woman in this painting is indeed the same as the cheongsam lost by Wu Lu." ”

Sun Bin said with a slight expression: "Really? Mr. Wu is very knowledgeable, this oil painting of the Republic of China is very valuable, and it comes from the master's hand. ”

After obtaining Sun Bin's permission, a policeman took out his camera and took a picture of the oil painting.

The police said that they would come back in two days, and they could not find any evidence of theft at the moment, and they would first investigate the petty thieves around them to see if they had any possibility of committing the crime.

As a last resort, I have to stay in this villa for another day, Sun Bin's face is not very happy, but Qian Huili tried her best to keep it, and she will make clothes for her tomorrow, and the red cheongsam is not found, so I naturally want to stay for another night.

The night was unstoppable, and I remembered the woman who stood at the door of the pantry last night, and I didn't see her face at the time.

Lying in bed, my heart was empty. I didn't dare to tell my grandfather about the loss of the cheongsam, so I had to find a way to find it first.

I didn't sleep well last night, and after another busy day during the day, a feeling of exhaustion hit me, and I quickly fell into a deep sleep.

That night I had a dream in which I dreamed of a woman in the oil painting, wearing the cheongsam and smiling, walking towards me step by step, graceful and temperamental.

However, the closer the woman came to me, the more wrinkles on her face deepened, and her countenance grew older, and I felt more and more familiar, and when she stood before me, she became an old woman.

Only then did I recognize her, she was the owner of the red cheongsam, my grandmother!

Why did she come here? Could it be that the oil painting turned out to be something from our Wu family? Or is she trying to tell me something?

I was wondering when another woman appeared around her. There are my aunts, my mother, and even Hye-jin, who died not long ago...... They were all staring at me, and it made me shudder.

"You want to revitalize our Wu family, you want to take back what belongs to our Wu family!" Grandma said.

Before I could respond, Grandma's face suddenly became bloody and miserable. The other women also had distorted faces and were terrifying.

I instinctively screamed and sat up, only to find myself still lying on the bed, thundering outside, and it seemed that it was going to rain again.

The nightmare made me completely awake, and I wiped a cold sweat, only to realize that there was something next to me. I reached out and touched it, the texture was soft and silky to the touch, like a piece of clothing.

I hurriedly turned on the light, and under the light, the red cheongsam was lying next to me, and it was back!

I looked at the red cheongsam and was stunned for a long time, how many souls are hidden in this cheongsam, it can come and go freely, silently.

The nervousness made me a little thirsty, and I opened the door to the living room to pour a glass of water, and a person was already sitting at the table, not moving.

"Miss Qian, you haven't slept yet?" I saw that it was Qian Huili, so I said hello.

"Can't sleep, I'm waiting for you." Qian Huili said.

I reached for the light, pressed the switch, and only heard a "pop", and the light didn't come on.

A flash of lightning flashed, and I saw Qian Huili's pale face, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Miss Qian has something to do with me?" I took a step back.

She stood up and was in front of me in an instant, blocking my path. I took another step back, hit the wall, and I had no way back.

I felt a pair of cold arms hook around my neck, and a familiar voice came to my ear: "Who do you say I am?" ”

In an instant, I was like falling into an ice cave, I was about to push her away, the light in the living room suddenly turned on, Sun Bin stood on the second floor, looked at us with an angry face, and asked, "What are you two doing?!" ”

"Mr. Sun, don't get me wrong, in fact, I just want to drink a glass of water." I'll tell you the truth.,It's a pity that no one will believe it.。。

Qian Huili let go of me, twisted her waist and walked upstairs: "It was too dark just now, I took Wu Lu as you, my dear, don't be angry." ”

Sun Bin glanced at me coldly, and then looked at her again: "Hmph, don't forget, who gave you this." After making the clothes tomorrow, let this surnamed Wu go, I don't like this person. With that, he turned and walked into the bedroom.

Qian Huili walked to the bedroom door, turned her head, and smiled at me, I felt uneasy: is she Huili, or Huizhen?
