Chapter 65: The Man in the Painting
"Young man, are you?" The old aunt thought that her grandson Erniu had returned, so she happily went to open the door, but who knew that there was a tired young man standing outside the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Auntie, I... Before he finished speaking, Zhu Jue's stomach rumbled uncontrollably. "I happened to be passing by here, can I give me some food?" Zhu Jue lowered his head embarrassedly and said softly. When the aunt heard this, a kind smile appeared on her face, and then she invited Zhu Jue into the house. "We haven't seen outsiders here for a long time, it's a guest, let's sit down quickly, the meal is just ready, I'll serve you some first." The aunt was very enthusiastic, first brought a chair to Zhu Jue, and then went back to the kitchen to bring a few plates of side dishes and white rice. Zhu Jue followed the fragrance all the way, his stomach was already hungry and thirsty, and he couldn't be polite at this time, so he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them in a big gulp.
Halfway through eating, the sound of pushing the door sounded in my ears, and I saw a fat doll of six or seven years old, wearing a straw hat, straw sandals, a cloth bag on his shoulder, and a small bamboo pole in his hand, swaggering in. When he saw Zhu Jue, he was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that there would be other people in the family.
"Yo, Erniu is back, have the cows all rushed back?" the aunt touched his head and asked with a loving face.
"When the cattle were full, they all went back to rest. Grandma, who is this person?" Erniu was obviously curious about Zhu Jue, and asked by pointing at him.
"Oh, this young man was passing by our house and happened to be hungry, so I asked him to come in and get something to eat. ”
Erniu walked up to Zhu Jue, a pair of big eyes purring, and two small hands touched Zhu Jue's body, his eyes were full of novelty. Zhu Jue was a little embarrassed by him, so he had to bury his head in the bowl and eat by himself.
"Erniu, don't make trouble!" the aunt scolded, and then said to Zhu Jue with a smile: "I'm sorry, my grandson has been with the cow all day long, and he hasn't seen any guests for a long time, so it's very strange." ”
Zhu Jue hurriedly waved his hand and said that it was okay. After a while, the dishes and rice bowls in front of him became completely clean, and there was not even a drop of oil and water left. Zhu Jue rubbed his stomach, licked his lips with his tongue, with a satisfied expression, and did not forget to stretch out his thumb and exaggerate that his mother's food was delicious. After eating and drinking, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "By the way, Auntie, I would like to ask you something, do you know what kind of place this is?"
As soon as he spoke, the old aunt suddenly fell silent. Zhu Jue saw that her face had changed, and she was embarrassed to ask, so she looked at her in a daze. After a long while, the aunt sighed and asked Zhu Jue: "Young man, were you attracted here by a painting?"
Zhu Jue had already forgotten how he came here, but now that he heard his aunt mention it, the memory in his mind slowly emerged.
"Yunze, fan, painting...... That's right, I just looked at the painting in the fan to come to this inexplicable place!" Zhu Jue slapped the table and finally remembered. Then he realized his gaffe and apologized again and again.
"It's fine. The old aunt stood up, went to the kitchen to serve some food, and then said to Erniu: "Good grandson, grandma wants to talk to this brother about something, you go back to the room to eat first." Erniu was very obedient, nodded, took the food and went into the back room. All of a sudden, there were only Zhu Jue and the old aunt left.
"Truth be told, that's how I came in. The old lady was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly.
"What?, then when did you ......" Zhu Jue opened his mouth wide and looked at the old aunt with a shocked expression.
"That was more than 10 years ago. My family originally lived in a small mountain village in the northwest of Yuguo, and my son and daughter-in-law owned a pawnshop. One day, a teenager came to the shop and said that he had a fan to be used, and asked his son and daughter-in-law to help him appreciate it. I happened to be there at the time, and I wanted to join in the fun, so I leaned over and took a look. By the time I realized it, I was already in this place. ”
Zhu Jue's mind flashed Yun Ze's cunning face, and he suddenly asked angrily, "Why did that guy get you here?"
The old aunt sighed, shook her head and said, "I didn't know the specific reason until a long time later." When we first came here, there was only a deep mountain and old forest, and the three of us tried our best to get out of here, but found that it was only in vain and we couldn't return to the original village. After a long time, we gradually gave up, thinking that we would have to live a life, so we chose a place by the stream at the foot of the mountain and built this house. Fortunately, for some reason, after coming here, I found that my body was much better than before, and it was not difficult to work, and I gradually got used to it, and sometimes I even felt that life here was not bad. ”
"On the night Er Niu was born, a man came to my house and knocked on the door. My son was already asleep, and when I opened the door, I found that the boy standing outside was the same boy who got us here. Seven or eight years have passed, and the boy's appearance has changed somewhat, but even if he is burned to ashes, I can recognize him. I asked him aloud what he was doing, and he said he just wanted to see the newborn child. I didn't say yes, who knows what this mad man would do to the child? I said that our family had nothing to do with him, why did he do so much to us, but he only said one word. At this point, the aunt suddenly paused. Zhu Jue was listening attentively, and hurriedly asked, "What did he say?"
He said that there is less aura in this painting, and we are put in to increase the artistic conception of the painting. Zhu Jue could feel the tremor in her aunt's voice when she spoke. He reached over and patted his aunt on the shoulder. The aunt took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and continued: "Seeing that I refused to let him see the child, he didn't say anything, turned around and left, and never appeared again." Poor Erniu, who has lived here since he was a child, thought that this was the real world. ”
"After so many years, haven't you found a way to get out?" Listening to his aunt's words, Zhu Jue was very anxious, he didn't want to be trapped in the painting for more than ten years.
"Not really. We have lived here for more than ten years, and we have also found some strange things. As a result, the child's father went up the mountain to chop firewood, and accidentally found a stone gate in a cave in the back mountain. We suspect that is the exit. ”
When Zhu Jue heard this, he immediately became energetic: "Really, it's really good!" Immediately after, he seemed to think of something again, turned his head to look at the old aunt, and showed a puzzled expression on his face: "That...... Auntie, why are you still here?"
The aunt wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed, and said with a sad face: "There is a spell outside the stone gate, which is very weird. Erniu's father and his mother lost their lives there......" Later, her voice became softer and softer, and two lines of tears slipped down her face.
Zhu Jue saw that he had lifted his aunt's scar, and lowered his head embarrassedly. At the same time, he also understood why the house was empty, and it turned out that only the old aunt and Erniu depended on each other.
"Leave it to me. Zhu Jue suddenly raised his head and looked at the old aunt with a firm gaze. "Take me over, I want this formation to be weird!"
