Not only the small pond at the back of the village, but also the Xiao family's house, all of this looks so familiar, as if I have been to this place before. The direction where the old god stick was lying and drinking. The beautiful scenery of the whole small pond can be seen, which also reminds me of where I have seen the small pond.

After thinking about it, I was even more sure that it was not a coincidence that You Lu went to Ruli City to hold an art exhibition, and that he must have secretly left the inn under the pretext of concentrating on painting in the inn in the few days when he came to Ruli City, and the purpose was to come to this strange little climbing village. That little Tanzi, I've seen it on the painting in You Lu's house!

There are many studios in the villa of You Lu, one of which is full of all kinds of paintings, and there are not a few landscape paintings. Except for the studio where You Lu painted. I only visited the other studios when I visited You Lv's house for the first time, so I only saw that painting once.

The reason why there is still a vague impression is that the painting with the small climbing village pond is hung on the wall of the entrance. People always remember what they saw first. After thinking about it, I was very sure that the painting of You Lu was the Tanzi of Xiaopan Village, and the angle he chose was the location where the old god stick was drunk.

After thinking about it, I immediately thought of the house in the Xiao family's compound, this house also made me feel familiar, but this familiarity was more obvious! Standing in front of the house again, all of a sudden, I was sure that I had seen this house. It's just that I didn't come to this place myself. Nor did I see it with my own eyes.

The reason why I am so familiar with the house is also due to Youlu, this familiarity makes me suddenly feel a chill down my spine, and the hairs on my body stand up. The character painting that You Lu painted for Meng Ting has a wooden door that seems to be a house, and now if you look closely, the door in the background of the painting is the wooden door of the Xiao family's house!

Meng Ting's figure painting is a bust, and the background framing is only partially framing, and the entire Xiao family's house is not drawn, so when I saw the Xiao family's house for the first time, I didn't recognize it immediately. It's just that I feel inexplicably familiar with this house, to be precise, I am familiar with this wooden door of the house.

Jiang Jun has also accompanied me to You Lu's villa more than once, so he, like me, also feels faintly familiar with the Xiao family's mansion. Speaking of Meng Ting's character paintings, now it seems that the strange thing is not only Meng Ting, who is not smiling, but also the Xiao family house behind Meng Ting.

The uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger, and another You Brigade that was pressing on my heart came to my heart again. After asking Wen Ning to investigate the specific situation of You Lu's art exhibition in Yun Province for me, I called Meng Ting again and wanted to remind her to be careful, but it was You Lu who answered the phone.

So I pushed the boat down the river and deterred You Lu, and when I asked You Lu if he had ever been to Xiaopan Village, You Lu's answer was: Pass. However, You Lu did not tell me when he passed through Xiaopan Village, and now that I think about it, I am afraid that he has laid the groundwork for the future.

If he can draw the pond and the ancient house in Xiaopan Village, and paint it so realistically, then he has been to this place, which is what he said. Those two paintings were painted by You Lu long before the art exhibition in Yun Province, so he passed by this place very early.

If I hadn't found out that You Lu had drawn something in Xiaopan Village, he would have avoided telling me, and when I did, You Lu would have said that what he said by "passing" was a long time ago. In fact, You Lu must have been to this place for this exhibition, because there were too many coincidences and connections, and I really can't think of where he went in the past few days under the pretext of painting.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if I find out that You Lu has been to Xiaopan Village during the art exhibition, You Lu's answer of "passing" can also be perfunctory. I was a little remorseful, I didn't expect You Lu to think about it so deeply, I knew it was so, I should have asked more deeply, so as to cut off his back road.

My concern was not just the skillful answers of You Lu, but the results of my questioning of the villagers. When I was investigating whether You Lu had been to Xiaopan Village recently, I asked the villagers if there were any outsiders who had been to the village other than us. But the villagers' answers were unanimous: we were the first outsiders to come to the village after an outsider died of a curse a year ago.

In other words, if You Lu had ever been here, he had either arrived in the dead of night and left the village before dawn, so that the villagers did not notice him. According to calculations, it only takes a few hours for You Brigade to complete the painting, that is, one night, but You Brigade said that it would take many days for him to complete the painting.

Therefore, in so many days, You Lu may have been to Xiaopan Village many times, his purpose is unknown, I am more concerned about why the villagers did not find the dog barking in the village. On the night when the camel took us into the village, the dogs in the village barked loudly.

There are a lot of dogs in the village, and when outsiders enter the village, the villagers will definitely hear the dogs barking. But upon questioning, the villagers said that the dogs in the village had not barked at night for a long time. If the dog barks recently, it is impossible for all the villagers in the village to forget, the dog did not bark, could it be that during the exhibition, I have not been to this village?

This made me think of a bold possibility: You Lu was not an outsider at all, but a native of Xiaopan Village, so those dogs would not bark at You Lu at all.

Before marrying You Lu, Meng Ting hadn't seen You Lu a few times, so it was impossible to follow You Lu to Xiaopan Village, Meng Ting was very surprised when she saw the painting for the first time, which can prove that Meng Ting didn't stand motionless and let You Lu paint, that is to say, You Lu relied on observation and memory to record Meng Ting's appearance on the picture scroll, and the background of the picture scroll was also matched by You Lu.

If You Lu had been to Xiaopan Village or was a local of Xiaopan Village, it was impossible that he would not know the rumors of the Xiao family's curse, so he also matched Meng Ting with such a background, what was his purpose and intentions. Wood has a skill.

Standing in front of the Xiao family's house for a long time, a hand shook me a few times, it was Shen Nuo, and she pulled me back from my thoughts. Shen Nuo asked me what was wrong, my heart was worried, and I told Shen Nuo all my speculations, as I expected, Shen Nuo also knew something about You Lu and Meng Ting in City B.

You Lu's suspicion and danger are getting bigger and bigger, I can't wait to call Meng Ting immediately and tell her to be careful, but we are trapped in this village, and even our mobile phones have no signal. My heart was beating fast, but soon, I calmed down, and the day was almost over, and probably tomorrow night, the blocked roads in the village would be cleared, and before that I could investigate something.

I took Shen Nuo out of the Xiao family's compound, and we began to inquire about the old people in the village one by one, and the content of the inquiry was whether there were any You Lu among the people who moved out of the village. Speaking of the name of You Lu, the villagers said that they were not familiar with it, I thought about it carefully, and the name could be changed, so I changed the way of asking.

You Lu is an only child, and I have seen both his parents, so I asked the villagers if there was a family of three who lived in the village, and the child was a boy.

Several villagers thought about it carefully, and finally gave me the same answer: no. Because it is in the countryside, everyone has more children, so a family of three does not exist in Xiaopan Village at all. You Lu is in his thirties, and villagers say that no one in Xiaopan Village moved out of the village more than 30 years ago.

The villagers moved out of the village one after another, from more than ten years ago to twenty years ago, at that time, You Lu was already a teenager, according to the habits of rural people, if You Lu had a younger brother or sister, he would definitely have been born.

The villager's answer made me start to doubt my own speculation, perhaps, You Lu was really not a villager from Xiaopan Village.

I can't ask anything, I just need to put aside the matter of You Lu for the time being, after all, these are just my subjective speculations, and there is no substantive evidence to support them.
