"Upstairs and downstairs are messy, the wooden floor has been pried up in many places, even the walls are scarred, there are pits everywhere, not to mention in the yard, when I used to go, there were still some flowers and plants, but now it's good, there are pits everywhere!"

"Hearing you say that, it seems that Qiu Shi has to find something to make the house like this", Nie Xiaohu said with a frown.

"I thought so too, but when I asked, Qiu Shi was hesitant and refused to answer."

"Is my sister-in-law at home? I'm Qiu Shi! At this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Hey! It's really said that Cao Cao Cao is here, this Qiu Shi, since he came to my house once in the third year, he has never seen him again, what kind of wind is it today? Shi Yuning said with a smile.

"It turned out to be Brother Qiu Shi, come in!" , Wang hurriedly went to open the door.

Nie Xiaohu turned his head to look at the gate of the courtyard, only to see Wang leading a person in. This person is not short, but he is skinny, with black eye circles, slightly protruding eyes, purple lips, burnt yellow skin, listless appearance, and a sickly face.

"How does this person look like he is reincarnated as a sick ghost", Nie Xiaohu frowned slightly, and looked at Qiu Shi with a little disgust, Tang Yibin and the others looked at Qiu Shi with an uncomfortable face.

"Hey, it turns out that Brother Shi is also here, there are guests at home!" , Qiu Shi looked around the living room and said with a smile.

Nie Xiaohu and the others didn't look over their heads and didn't make a sound, but Qiu Shi smiled awkwardly.

"Qiu Shi, are you here for anything today?" , Shi Yuning asked.

"Oh, that's right, my sister once painted a picture and gave it to my sister-in-law when she was alive, and I was there at the time, and I want to see that painting again when I came today, and miss my hard-working sister!" As he spoke, Qiu Yongxian blocked his nose with his arm, his eyes were slightly red, and he sobbed.

"Oh, that's it, it's easy to do, you wait, I'll go get it for you!" , Wang nodded and said.

"Thank you so much, sister-in-law!" , Qiu Shi stopped crying, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

At that moment, a loud baby cry came from the back room.

"Oh, I'm talking patronizingly, my precious girl is hungry, I'll go and nurse first, and I'll give it to you later!" After Wang finished speaking, he went into the back room.

"Okay", Qiu Shi nodded with a smile.

"Mother, no, play with me!" , Xiao Yichen stopped drying, holding Wang's hand and not letting go.

Shi Yuning was about to speak, Qiu Shi grabbed the small wooden sword on the table next to him, and said with a smile: "Yichen is good, uncle knows best that Yichen likes to practice swords, let's go, uncle will accompany you to the yard to practice swords!" ”

"Good! Good! Xiao Yichen clapped his hands and jumped and said, "Yichen likes to practice swords the most!" ”

Qiu Shi took Shi Yichen's little hand and walked towards the courtyard, Wang was relieved, and hurriedly turned around and went to the back room.

"This kid is naturally active, and he gestures everywhere with a wooden sword every day, saying that he wants to be a chivalrous man when he grows up," Shi Yuning said with a smile shaking his head.

Nie Xiaohu smiled, looked at Qiu Shi's back, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

About half an hour later, Wang came out of the back room, holding a painting without a scroll in his hand, and spread it on the table in the living room.

"Brother Qiu Shi, the painting is here, come and take a look!" , Wang shouted towards the courtyard.

Qiu Shi almost ran into the living room, stood in front of the table, and looked at the painting intently, and Nie Xiaohu and others also surrounded and admired the painting on the side.

This is a figure painting, in which two people stand next to a huge stone, one of them is dressed in brocade clothes, wearing a purple and gold crown, with a royal demeanor, looking at another middle-aged man in green clothes with a smile, and the other man is holding a sword, splitting the boulder in front of him in half, and the section of the boulder is as smooth as a mirror.

In the upper right corner of the painting, there are also a few lines of poetry, the handwriting is beautiful, at a glance you know that it is written by a woman, the poem reads, "The sword splits the boulder, and the stone is as flat as a mirror; In the Tibetan sheath, there is no dispute in the world; Hand blade enemy blood, candle remembering the emperor's uncle. The poem is written about the story of Liu Bei and Sun Quan's sword breaking the boulder during the Three Kingdoms period.

After looking at it for a while, Qiu Shi said, "Sister-in-law, can you give me this painting?" When I saw it, I thought about it as if I saw my sister. ”

"Alas, this is not good", Wang shook his head and said, "This painting was given to me by my Qiu Hua sister before she died, it is her only relic, I can't give it to you, you can come and see it if you want to see it in the future, my sister-in-law will never refuse, okay?" ”

"That's fine!" , Qiu Shi nodded, "Then I won't bother you, I'll take my leave", turned around and left.

"This Qiu Shi brother is also strange and pitiful, there is only such a relative as my sister in the world, and..., alas!" , Wang Shi looked at Qiu Shi's back and couldn't help sighing.

"Brother and sister, why did Qiu Hua give you this painting?" , Nie Xiaohu suddenly asked.

"Oh, that's right, that Qiu Hua sister has been a good friend with me since she was a child, she is frail and sickly, I often chat with her, we are the best friends. Since marrying this nemesis! Wang glared at Shi Yuning as he spoke, and Shi Yuning was so frightened that he was trembling.

"I'm busy on weekdays, I rarely go to see him again, once I took Yichen out to buy vegetables, happened to pass by her house, so I went in to visit, and when I returned home, I found that Yichen's wooden sword fell in her house, Yichen is the favorite of the wooden sword, I have to sleep with it at night, without the wooden sword, Yichen is crying and noisy, until the middle of the night I don't sleep, no way, the next day I went again, when I retrieved the wooden sword, Qiu Hua's sister sent this painting to me, saying that she painted it overnight, asked me to treasure it, but I didn't think about it, and within a few days, Qiu Hua and she ......"

When Wang said this, his eyes were red and he sighed.

"Then who took care of Qiu Hua when he was sick?" , Nie Xiaohu then asked.

"Who else can there be, of course it's Qiu Shi, but then again, this Qiu Shi is really good, she takes care of her sister meticulously, never leaves half a step, at least the two times I went, in order to take care of my sister, he didn't even do his own business, it's really good!"

"But then again", Wang's words changed, "I went to see Qiu Hua twice, I saw Qiu Hua's face was ruddy, his condition was very stable, and there were signs of improvement, how could it be suddenly... Alas! It's fate! ”

"Didn't you find a doctor at the time?"

"Why didn't you look for it? Looking for the palace doctor who lives nearby, Qiu Hua's asthma has been treated by him for many years, but unfortunately he is still a step late, and when the palace doctor arrives there, Qiu Hua's sister is no longer there. ”

"But when it comes to this painting, I still think of a strange thing," Wang said with a sudden frown.
