Chapter 106: Family
Lu Lie finally managed to recover a little consciousness from the severe pain of the tsunami collapse, and as soon as he had accumulated the strength to say a word, he scolded with a smile: "You ask who the girl on this painting is? Hahahaha, are you an idiot?" Seeing that she looks so much like me, it is natural that I have a daughter who was born with each other when I was on land. ”
He deliberately said such nonsense with his eyes open, just to completely anger the tree demon grandma, so that the other party could completely give himself a good time. Unexpectedly, Lu Lie closed his eyes and waited for a long time, just waiting for the tree demon grandmother to kill him or beat him again, but he waited until a long sigh came from his ears: "The reason why I am so curious is because the person on this picture scroll is me when I was young." ”
Lu Lie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed so hard that his eyes were about to fall: "My God." Grandma Dryad, I can't beat you. You can torture me and even kill me. But don't insult my IQ, okay? Such a beautiful beauty painting, you say that you are the one above? Have you been here for too long and forgotten what you look like? ”
The temper of the dryad grandmother would have been whipped up earlier if she had been whipped up earlier. But at this time, she was unusually calm: "I've been here for too long, many things have changed, no wonder you don't believe it...... Let me ask you, when you got this painting complete, was the lower right corner of the scroll printed with a bright red unicorn pattern?"
Lu Lie was stunned for a moment, trying to recall what the scroll looked like at the bottom right when it was complete. In his memory, he didn't know whether the scroll was in the lower left or right corner, and there was a faint touch of red. But all the famous works collected by wealthy people are stamped with stamps underneath, and he can't remember whether the stamp is a little lion or not.
Seeing that Lu Lie couldn't think of it anyway, the tree demon grandmother put the half of the fragment in front of him again, pointed to the non-existent gap on the other half of the surface with a branch, and guided him step by step: "Think about it again, when this painting is complete, is there a corner here that originally painted a branch, and there are still two yellow orioles parked on the branch?"
Lu Lie's face that was not afraid of boiling water gradually changed color, and he did remember it clearly, when he first saw that this picture scroll was still complete, there were indeed two fluffy and yellow birds parked on the corner of its painting, which looked like they were carved out of a mold like Huang Huang Huang.
Grandma Dryad said a few more places where this picture looked when it was complete, some of which Lu Lie couldn't remember clearly, and some of which Lu Lie remembered, and it was indeed exactly what Grandma Dryad said. The more he listened, the more frightened he became, and he looked at the ugly woman in the tree with his eyes gradually widening: what did the four adventurers who died in the tree have to do with her?
Seeing that Lu Lie's gaze had already believed four or five percent, the tree demon grandmother smiled miserably: "The handwriting of this painting, I can see that it is from the Murong Family Orchid Workshop, a time-honored brand in Chang'an. And the orchid workshop was my father's property when I was on land.
"I kid you not, the person in the painting is indeed me when I was younger...... The reason why it is in your hands now, I can guess without you that my family sent someone to come to me with my scroll. As a result, he encountered some accident on the road and died. The scroll on the corpse was taken by you, who came later.
"I'll ask you, yes or no. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Lie had completely believed that the most small coincidence in this had indeed happened to him and the Dryad Grandma. In fact, at this point, there is no need for the dryad grandmother to lie to him, what good can it do if he is fooled?
Lu Lie opened his bitter lips and said, "Yes." You've been trapped in this tree for decades, and your family hasn't forgotten about you, recruiting warriors to come up to you. You must have had a father who loved you very much, a warm family...... In comparison, I envy you a little...... Even if I disappear from the tree for a thousand years, ten thousand years, no one will remember me. ”
He hung his head in frustration, until this moment, Lu Lie completely admitted defeat and let the other party dispose of it. The physical pain and punishment of the Dryad Grandma on him could only stimulate the ferocity in his bones that he was even more unwilling to give in. And this painting was passed to the hands of the tree demon grandmother through the hand of Lu Lie, making him feel that there was a providence in the underworld, and mortals had to obey it.
Mo said that at this moment, Lu Lie's mentality quietly changed, and even the heart of the tree demon grandmother Gujing Bubo for many years quietly set off a storm. Seeing this fragment fall into the hands of this poor boy, the eyes of the tree demon grandmother were like an undercurrent, and her heart was also intertwined with thousands of chaotic thoughts: Could it be that there is a providence in this darkness, and God sent the picture scroll of the orchid workshop to himself through the hands of this kid, so as to tell himself that the family has not forgotten himself in the past few decades, and has not stopped looking for himself?
Unconsciously, moist liquid gradually flowed from the dry eyes of the dry-faced grandmother.
She looked down at her own hands, which had killed many people over the years. Perhaps, among them, there are warriors sent by the family to find him......
She sighed faintly. At that moment, she seemed to have returned to her ten-year-old childhood, when the sun shone on a courtyard house in Yanjing in September of that year, and a little loli carved in pink and jade was riding on top of an uncle with a stubble face, giggling and directing her father to run around......
Looking back now, that time really feels like a lifetime away......
After Lu Lie handed over the scroll, he closed his eyes and waited for the tree demon grandmother to send him back to the "execution ground". Unexpectedly, he waited for a long time with his eyes closed, only to hear a faint voice from the tree demon grandmother: "I...... I don't want to kill you anymore. Let's go. ”
Lu Lie only felt that his body was loosened, and all the branches that imprisoned his body were loosened and flew to the side. He struggled to get up from the ground by holding on to the wall, but he was in no hurry to leave. Lu Lie was shocked in his heart, and only thought that the tree demon grandmother was going to play some cat and mouse tricks, and pretended to let herself go before executing herself.
If this is the case, then he will definitely not run away, even if he dies, and he will not give the dryad grandmother such fun to tease him like this.
But Lu Lie just leaned on the stone wall and waited for a long time, and the tree demon grandmother always turned her back to him, staring blankly at the fragment of the scroll in front of her, without saying a word.
There was no intention of turning back against him.
"You ......" Lu Lie strengthened his courage and opened his hoarse throat, "Are you really not going to kill me?"
The Tree Demon Grandma was surprised, put down the scroll, and turned her head to glare at Lu Lie: "Yes." Why, why are you still here, waiting for me to finish your dinner?"
