CHAPTER 14 Drawing Saints

The sun is out today, but it doesn't shine. If you invite friends to go out, you will feel cool in the wind.

In such a warm weather, there was a poor little thief, who looked okay, but before he was old, he lived as a reckless man in the green forest, without relatives, friends, and care.

The little thief walked on the path between the mountains, with only a simple bag on his back, and the only valuable thing was the scroll. Don't look at the fact that there are not many things on the body, but the scroll is reluctant to throw it away, and even more reluctant to sell it for money. The wind comes and goes in the rain, and even if the little thief gets drenched on himself, he will shield it from the wind and rain.

He walked on the road, thinking about it, he was also a second-generation official, his family was big, his father, uncle, and grandfather were all in the Wanjuan Pavilion. Weddings and funerals, which one is not tens of thousands of people lined up to give gifts to the family, and in those years, there was a lot of water in the family account like rain falling from the sky.

I also fished in it for a while, and during that time I was comfortable and leisurely, I could see a lot of good things, and I also had a lot of fat and beauty on hand, and I was really a kind of human life.

Who knew that the partisan dispute in the Wanjuan Pavilion was too fierce, and everyone wanted to get a comfortable oil and water errand under the Son of Heaven. It's just that wolves have more meat and less meat.

It's all because the common ideal of survival is pinned on a few positions, which has led to the seemingly peaceful literary and painting work becoming the weak, and how many murderous intentions are hidden?

He had already accumulated too much disappointment in this noble errand of his family. No matter how good it looks on the face, how beautiful it is in front of people, how dirty it is behind the scenes, he is tired of the means made by those people, the people who come to the house, the people in the court, all of them are sanctimonious, when they meet, they smile warmly, they are polite to each other, and behind them are means, stabbing knives, bribes...... There's everything.

The defeat of the party struggle was not so much the destruction of his life as the fulfillment of his escape. He had long wanted to leave that filthy Longtan tiger's den.

He only did a few things about robbing his house. Because the heart is not ruthless, it does not hurt people's lives, but plundering wealth also harms virtue. He sometimes wonders, what else can he do to make a living in this world? Every line has its own doorway, and every line has its unspoken rules. If I think about it too much, my heart becomes gray. Later, he simply gave up his thoughts and gave up etiquette and shame.

He renounced all the moral shackles that had been placed on him.

Now he doesn't know himself anymore, and he doesn't know why he is alive, just like a walking corpse.

From a distance, there was a person fishing in the Qingwei Stream.

The little thief cheered up and looked carefully: the man was wearing a hat, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but the costume, fish basket, etc., could show that the man had extraordinary taste. This person's detached temperament made him energetic, and a sharp force penetrated the soul in his bone marrow, as if something in his body was suddenly scattered.

He was a little confused, as if he had seen a transcendent existence in the disappointed world. This man seemed to tell him that there was another way of living in this world, and that it was not all filthy. This person seems to point at him and say: You have done wrong, your life is wrong. But the man was just fishing quietly, without any movement, and he didn't know who he was, and he suddenly had some anger and chagrin.

At that time, he didn't understand, but habitually analyzed this person's financial and material resources through clothing items, and had an answer in his heart, this person's family background is not ordinary.

The little thief was moved, quietly moved behind the man's back, drew the short sword at his waist, and pressed it against the man's neck.

The man was still fishing, as if nothing had happened. The man remained motionless, making the little thief think that he was holding a stone statue against his neck. He began to panic, why did this person not move?

The little thief caught a glimpse of the paper wrapped in the cooking cake next to the fish basket, which was the rumored spring scene of the "Four Scenes". Next to the fish basket, there is a book of "Feng Xuan Xuanpin" piano score, and a ringing spring-style piano, the chestnut paint of this piano can be seen to break the flowing water, and the word "water cold" is written on it.

The heart is surging, and he quickly judges the identity of this person, this picture can change a city, and this piano must be the water cold of the painting saint. He thought of several possibilities, all of them were ruled out one by one, and very few people had seen this painting, but he didn't expect that the real work would be used to wrap cooking cakes, and the person who owned this piano ......

After a few thoughts, the only possibility that came to mind made the little thief's hand with the knife tremble a little. He then simply threw the knife aside, stuck it in the ground, and knelt down to worship the teacher. There was a bean-sized cold sweat on the back of his neck.

"It seems that there is no hope for this fish today. The man did not hesitate to collect the rod and the basket. The whole set of movements is extremely elegant.

"Sir, please take me as an apprentice. The little thief said. He bowed his head deeply, not daring to look at the man he had just threatened with a knife.

"I don't accept apprentices, it's just that there is really a lack of someone to help me carry the basket and the pole, and you are willing to do this. The man asked, his eyes hidden under the hat, and his voice was very warm and gentle.

"Yes!" the little thief presented a volume of "A Picture of Ming" in both hands. The little thief presented it to the man as a gift, but the man just took it and returned it to the little thief, saying, "Take it, I don't want such a heavy thing." ”

The man put the scroll in the little thief's hand along with the fishing rod and said, "Wow, your hands are so cold, it's not good for you to do this." ”

The little thief was instantly moved, took the things, carried the piano on his back, carried the rod, the basket, and the stool, and followed the man back with all his heart.

"Why do you have such a habit of resembling the gang of people in the Ten Thousand Scroll Pavilion?" the man walked along the road, just saying, and did not look back at the expression of the little thief.

"Don't hide it, Mr. Yusheng's father used to work in Wanjuan Pavilion, and I also worked in Wanjuan Pavilion for a while, and then because of an incident, the home was raided, my parents died, and my wife took the child back to her parents' house. I had nowhere to make a living, so I had to work as a coward and rob things to get by. "Now that I think about it, both paths are the wrong way." ”

"And what is your name?" the man asked.

"Foolish Cai Li. The little thief replied.

"Then you must have recognized me. The man said.

Cai Li didn't dare to deceive Mr. When I saw the spring scene of "Four Scenes", I was amazed, who actually used the authentic work of this picture to wrap the cooking cakes? Later, I saw the water cold qin again, and after a few judgments in my heart, I already knew that Mr. was the one who painted the holy cook. Cai Li replied, "The person I respect most in my heart in my later life is none other than you, Mr. Painting." ”

Cai Li followed the cooker to the front of a small courtyard with a plaque entitled "Small World".

"This is the small world that everyone in the world wants to see, Cai Li is fortunate to be able to see it. Cai Lixin said.

The cook was speechless.

At night, the moon shines brightly. The capital of The Hague - Longting, which does not look up to the city, is brightly lit. Rows of fairy-like figures streamed out, teams of envoys from various countries saluted in order, flowing dishes came in and out, and people who sang and danced and juggled waited to be ordered.

In this harmonious scene, no one noticed that there were a number of hard-to-find Sparrow Green people hovering over the city, and their hearts were so hidden that ordinary people without eyesight could not see them.

At the dinner, the minister stood respectfully, and could see officials of all ranks. Everyone's face is cautious, and every expression is presented after deep thought and deep thought.

The two people who were lying on the wall of Longting Palace and looking at the hall couldn't see the emperor, which aroused the curiosity of their two little babies, but the emperor's position. It's hidden behind the door, and it's invisible anyway.

I saw the lantern banquet, and it was strange and secluded. The hazy scenery leads people to infinite reverie. There were also songs, human voices, pianos, bells, and drums from the world full of fireworks......

These two young people of the Finch Green Clan, who received this surveillance task for the first time, were watching from the eaves, and they had a lot of fresh perceptions and indescribable curiosity about this unknown place in their hearts. I can't wait to go down and play with him.

The two of them saw in a corner that there were two little palace maids crying, broken plates and cups on the ground, and dishes and wine flowing all over the ground. From this short distance, the two of them wanted to do something to help the two palace maids who were about to be punished, but they felt that they couldn't help.

Outside the gate of the Longting Palace, there were guards standing straight. But there was a little brother who was so sleepy that he yawned repeatedly, and from time to time the man standing opposite him pestled him with the hilt of his sword, so that he would not fall asleep.

There are also those who come in from outside the palace, and some folk troupes, all according to the shift, lined up in the east side hall on the side, some props and objects are placed in the courtyard outside the side hall, and some people are outside the courtyard to dot up.

...... These are the sounds and colors of the world that Bird Birch Mountain does not have.

Evian Hall in Fenghua City has a lot of big guests.

There is a man who sells paintings, it is Zhen Ami, a big businessman in Pingping Kingdom. The calligraphy and painting that has been quelled is recognized as the best, and all countries are flocking to learn, and those who can't learn it are rushing to rush it. Especially Dashangguo, it is extremely sought after. Seeing this, he shipped the calligraphy and paintings of Pingping Kingdom to Dashang Kingdom early and got a lot of money.

Nowadays, half of Dashang's calligraphy and paintings are calm. This Zhen Ami is even more rich. Now that he is over half a hundred years old, he is thinking about how to live forever, and when he heard that Evian Pavilion has this method, he came to ask for medicine with a large amount of silver tickets.

There is also a sulphur mine lord in the country of Pasa, whose name is vermilion. He took advantage of the sulfur resources of the country of Pasa and improved the mining method: he invented the technology of liquefied sulfur extraction, and earned countless gold knives from various countries.

Now that he has just passed his 60th birthday, he has brought his family to Evian Pavilion to buy Renrui, hoping that the family can be together forever.
