After listening to my explanation, the second brother looked like he was about to go berserk, and he didn't know why he didn't go berserk on the spot, but lowered his voice and said with a little excitement: "What kind of bullshit taboo, it's just to draw a posthumous portrait, how can there be so many taboos?" What if you do break the taboo? I don't believe it..."

Before the second brother finished speaking, suddenly, his mobile phone rang, he immediately took out the mobile phone and looked at it a few times, and after a while, he grabbed my hand and shouted: "Brother, do you think I am your second brother?" ”

I nodded heavily and hummed, in my heart, family affection is above all else.

"If the second brother asks you, will you help?" The second brother asked.

I thought for a moment and said, "Except for Boss Huang, I can promise you anything else." ”

"Suck!"

The second brother took a deep breath, and then said with a solemn face: "The second brother won't tell you that your second sister-in-law is sick." ”

"Sick? What disease? Is it serious? Did you go to the hospital for a check-up? I asked.

"It's been checked, it's serious, her illness needs surgery as soon as possible, but... But..."The second brother stopped talking.

"Second brother, but what?" I said urgently.

"Your second sister-in-law needs a lot of money for surgery, your second brother and I are incapable, I am a waste, I have worked hard in the county for so many years, and I still haven't given their mother and daughter a good life, and now your second sister-in-law is waiting for money for surgery, but I can't do anything, you say, is the second brother a waste?" After saying this, the second brother's eyes were already red.

"Second brother, how much does the second sister-in-law's illness cost?" I hurriedly asked.

"You..."

"I've saved a lot in the past few years, and although it's not a lot, it should be able to help." I explained.

"About 400,000." The second brother said.

Hearing this, I was stunned.

Four hundred thousand?

I have followed the master since I was a child, and I have only saved tens of thousands of dollars so far, which is still a good luck, because I have not gone alone to paint the portrait many times, and the family will stuff a big red envelope afterwards, of course, I want to hand over these red envelopes to the master, but the master told me that this is a thank you gift from my family, I can accept it with peace of mind, and it is because of this that I can save tens of thousands.

In addition, I now send some money every month to my father's living expenses, in fact, I don't have much money to save.

"Second brother knelt down and begged you."

Suddenly, my second brother's voice fell, and then he knelt down before I could react and stop it in time.

The second brother really knelt in front of me.

The next second, I reacted, I was anxious to help him up, but he didn't let me help him at all, and said to me with a serious face: "Brother, your second sister-in-law's life is in your hands now, as long as you are willing to agree to help my boss, he will pay for your second sister-in-law to operate." ”

"Second brother, you're embarrassing me." I crouched down.

"I know, your second sister-in-law had some prejudice against you before, and she never gave you any good looks, but she is suffering from illness now, second brother please, please, stop hating your second sister-in-law, okay?" The second brother pleaded.

"I..."

"Second brother, please, second brother kowtowed to you."

When the words fell, I saw that the second brother really wanted to kowtow to me, I am his younger brother, how could I let my brother kowtow to himself?

I hurriedly stopped the second brother and didn't give him a chance to kowtow, at this time, I hesitated.

I was thinking, making an exception once shouldn't be a problem, right?

At this time, the second brother was going to kowtow to me again.

I stopped him again and said, "Second brother, don't do this, I promise you." ”

"Really?" The second brother looked surprised.

"Hmm." I nodded.

"Great, second brother thank you, second brother thank you..." After the second brother finished speaking, he suddenly opened his hands and hugged me tightly, and then kept thanking me, and I was held in my arms by the second brother, showing a happy smile.

After a while, after the second brother let go of his hand, I helped the second brother up, and when we returned to the small living room on the second floor, there were a few more people in the living room, and I was not interested in knowing who they were, but there was one thing that made me quite curious.

I saw a little yellow dog at the door of the master bedroom.

I followed the master's side, often run around, the nearby ten miles and eight towns have been there, I can see at a glance, the master bedroom door this little yellow dog is not a precious breed, it stands to reason that a rich man like Boss Huang, the dogs raised at home must be some precious breeds.

In addition, this little yellow dog was lying at the door of the master bedroom, with a faint sadness in his eyes, if I guessed correctly, the owner of this little yellow dog should be the wife of Boss Huang, and the little yellow dog obviously knew that its owner was dead, so there was sadness in his eyes.

When my attention was on the little yellow dog, the second brother gently tugged me and whispered, "The boss is still waiting for you in the room." ”

I nodded, and then walked around the little yellow dog into the master bedroom, and when I walked into the master bedroom, I suddenly felt an unusual gaze staring at me, so I subconsciously looked back, I thought it was the second brother who was not at ease, but as a result, it turned out that the little yellow head lying at the door was turning his head to stare at me.

Its eyes were very sad, and I even saw tears flickering in its eyes.

At this moment, in my eyes, it is better than any precious variety.

"Have you thought it through?" At this time, Boss Huang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, asked.

"Suck!"

I looked back at Boss Huang and took a breath, then nodded and said, "Think about it clearly." ”

"To paint or not to paint?"

"Paint."

"When does it start?"

I looked at the time, at 10:08, my normal speed is an hour, so I don't need to calculate and know that the time must be enough, so I told Boss Huang that I can start now.

A few minutes later, I took out the drawing board, drawing paper, brushes, paints, etc., which I brought from the Statue Museum, and all the items I needed, Boss Huang asked me if I needed to prepare something for me, I shook my head.

I've brought everything I need to prepare.

After that, I took out a candle from the box, and Boss Huang asked with a puzzled face when he saw it, "Do you also need candles to paint the portrait?" ”

"Yes." I nodded.

"Oh." Boss Huang stopped speaking after a sigh.

Before I started to paint the portrait, I lit the candle, and although it was very likely that I would have violated the first taboo mentioned by the master this time, I did not want to violate the other two taboos, so I still had to light the candle that should be lit.

I placed the lit candle on the right side of the bed, and after about two minutes, I was sure that the candle would not go out, so I started to write, and about ten minutes, I had just drawn the outline of the deceased's face, and at this time, the doors and windows were closed, and the air conditioning in the room was not turned on, but there was a sudden chilling wind blowing in the room.

When I shuddered, I quickly stopped my pen and looked at the candle, I saw that the candle flame that had been normal suddenly swayed a few times, I was shocked, and then, the candle flame disappeared, and the candle was actually in the process of painting my posthumous portrait... extinguished.

"This..."

I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then my eyes were fixed on the extinguished candle, I subconsciously glanced at the doors and windows of the master bedroom again, all of them were closed, and now, I was 100% sure that the wind just now was not blowing from outside the master bedroom.

At this time, Boss Huang muttered in a low voice: "Strange, the doors, windows and air conditioners are not open, where is the wind blowing?" ”

"Boss Huang, do you feel it too?" I asked back.

"Hmm." Boss Huang nodded.

"Suck!"

I took a breath quietly, and then forcibly suppressed the doubt in my heart, the candle went out, which means that I can't continue to paint the portrait of Boss Huang's wife, because if I continue, I will violate the third taboo mentioned by the master.

This is also the first time I have encountered candles extinguished since I followed the master.

Now I have most likely violated the first taboo, and now that the candle is extinguished, I will continue to draw and I will violate two taboos at once.

"Why did you stop?" Boss Huang saw that I didn't paint anymore, so he asked.

"I..."

I was about to say that the extinguishing of the candle meant that I could not continue to paint, but when I thought that if I didn't paint, my sister-in-law would have no money for surgery.

On the one hand, he violated the taboo and lived up to the master's advice.

On the one hand, it is the life of the second sister-in-law and the happiness of the second brother's family.

What should I do?

For a while, I fell into a dilemma, if the second brother had not been involved, and the second sister-in-law was seriously ill, I would have left a long time ago, where would I have come to this point? But now, can I still leave in style?

The answer quickly came to mind.

No!

Unless I want my second brother's family to hate me for the rest of my life.

In addition, it is very likely that because of this incident, my father will be angry with me why I don't help my second brother.

After a long hesitation, I finally made a decision.

Two words.

Fight!

I let it go.

In the next second, I continued to write, Boss Huang's wife's appearance is a little special, so the key point is easy to grasp, after the facial contour is completed, I will outline the lines of the facial features, and then plump up her facial features and her facial features.

A bulging forehead, a slightly low round nose, a finger of thick lips, thick earlobes, and cheeks that fall loosely like gummies.

In the blink of an eye, a posthumous portrait has been drawn, and of course, one last step is needed for this posthumous portrait to be considered complete.

I handed the brush to Boss Huang next to me and told him that he needed to paint the last two strokes, which meant to 'add blessings and longevity' to the living, and then under my guidance, Boss Huang completed the last two strokes.

When I put down the brush and looked at the portrait on the canvas, for some reason, my heart was beating very fast, and I could clearly feel that my heart was beating at an extraordinary speed.

I could even hear my heart beating at a rapid pace.

Poof... Poof... Poof...

Suddenly.

There was a sharp pain in my heart, and then I felt a warm current rushing upwards, followed by a sweet cry in my throat, and then I opened my mouth subconsciously.

"Wow!"

I opened my mouth and squirted out a mouthful of blood, but luckily I reacted quickly enough to turn my head away in time, otherwise the portrait I had just drawn would have been useless.

"For... Why is this happening? ”

As I was terrified, I held on to my blurred consciousness and glanced at the time.

Again, I was shocked.

Twelve :06 a.m.

It's past twelve o'clock.

Today, I didn't just break two taboos, but three taboos at once.

Why is this happening?

Also, my phone has set the alarm for 11:50 a.m.

Why didn't it ring?

At this moment, I completely lost consciousness as soon as it was dark in front of my eyes.
