Chapter 39: The Mystery of the Painting

A sharp knock on the door woke Ye Boyu from his dream.

Ye Boyu opened his eyes, and the sky was already bright. Hurriedly pushed open the door and ran out of the outhouse living room.

"Who?" Ye Boyu asked, while seeing that the door of Zi Yan's bedroom was open, Zi Yan was not in the house, Ye Boyu knew that Zi Yan must have gone to Xishan to practice by herself.

After returning home from the Blood Clothes Hall, Zi Yan and Ye Boyu went to the depths of the West Mountain early in the morning to practice, instructing Ye Boyu to cultivate the "Blood Shadow Divine Sword", rain or shine. In addition to cultivating the mental method, Ye Boyu was busy rerefining his small demon descending pestle. Today, I must have seen Ye Boyu sleep too hard, so I went alone.

"It's me, why don't you open the door yet!" There was a crisp shouting sound from outside the door, and listening to the sound, it should be the red-clothed beauty Meng Yao who just came yesterday.

"It's coming. Ye Boyu couldn't help frowning, early in the morning, what was she doing here? Ye Boyu settled at the door before reaching out to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, Rao is Ye Boyu had already prepared, and he couldn't help but be taken aback. Meng Yao changed into a cool dark green dress again, compared to yesterday's sexy tulle red dress, it was another taste of youth and purity. Seeing Ye Boyu come out, she stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, and there was a large cardboard box three feet square at her feet, which was full of large and small jade and old books.

"This is?" Ye Boyu looked surprised.

"Don't help get it in yet. Do you want me to take it?" Meng Yao glared and went into the house first.

Ye Boyu had no choice but to hold the big cardboard box with both hands and see that there was no one else outside, before entering the house and closing the door. The big cardboard box was full of things, weighing more than 100 pounds.

Ye Boyu was about to speak, but Meng Yao preemptively said: "I asked Brother Bai Qin's two housekeepers to send it to me, I can't move such a dead and heavy big box." ”

Ye Boyu lowered his head and took a rough look at the contents of the cardboard, good guy, there were obsidian, bloodstone, mutton fat jade, all kinds of gemstones, and more than a dozen thread-bound engraved books that Wang Baiqin had scavenged from nowhere. A box of babes.

"Meng Yao, what is this?" Ye Boyu raised his head and asked.

Meng Yao sat triumphantly on the bench, with Erlang's legs cocked, her toes less than half a foot away from Ye Boyu's head, and she shook her head and said: "I heard Brother Bai Qin say that you especially like the history of barnyard officials, what kind of strange things are these messy things, so, I saw such a big box thrown under Brother Bai Qin's desk today, and it was dusty, and it was estimated that it had not been touched for ten days and a half months. Why, enough friendship, right?"

Ye Boyu really couldn't laugh or cry, of course he had seen this box, it was Wang Baiqin's lifeline. Xin said: "Good guy, these things are Wang Baiqin's hard work, I don't know how much money it cost his father secretly, and how many years it took to scavenge things all over the world." You are generous, borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and bring them to me as your own decision. Hurriedly shook his head and said: "Meng Yao, these are all your Bai Qin's brothers' treasures, if you don't tell him, just bring them to me directly, if he finds out, how can you explain it?"

"Hmph! What can he do with me? I don't think it's good if he doesn't play with me. Meng Yao stood up and said disdainfully.

"Yes!" Ye Boyu smiled bitterly again. Ye Boyu has almost seen the things in this box, but after Wang Baiqin got the treasure, when he looked for Ye Boyu to show off, he showed Ye Boyu a second time, not to mention, if there was no complete and suitable time, in Wang Baiqin's words, he himself was reluctant to take it out and appreciate it, for fear of desecrating the baby. Who knows, today let my precious cousin serve a pot.

"Oh, where is this? so many mountains?"

Ye Boyu frowned, thinking, it's bad, I forgot to put the painting away just now, and let this crazy girl see it, this is not a good thing.

"Oh, this. Ye Boyu perfunctorily agreed, while thinking about how to cover up the matter of these two paintings.

"Tell me, where is this?" Meng Yao was obviously dissatisfied, and asked loudly.

"These are the two paintings I got from, how do I know where the paintings are!" Ye Boyu hurriedly said: "Meng Yao, let's come to the living room to talk for a while, the study is too messy." ”

"No!" Meng Yao pursed her mouth and said loudly, "I'm going to enjoy these two paintings in the study." Stay in the living room by yourself. ”

Ye Boyu's heart moved, and he said in his heart, how can this girl be interested in these two paintings, there must be a problem, there is nothing to do, just give it a try.

"Meng Yao, why have I never heard your brother Bai Qin mention you before, where is your home?" Ye Boyu poured two cups of tea and asked casually.

Meng Yao didn't look back, just stared at the two paintings, and said, "This damn brother Bai Qin didn't even mention me a word." Hmph, look at me when I see him, how to clean him up. After a while, he said, "By the way, you just asked me where my house is." I've always lived in Yizhou, Sichuan (now Chengdu), so far away from you, and I've only come to you once, and who knows it's not fun at all. ”

"Yizhou, Sichuan. Ye Boyu was in his heart again, and he said in his heart, Yizhou is in the hinterland of Shushan, and this Meng Yao really has some origins.

"Then are you coming to the capital for the first time?" Ye Boyu asked, "Have you been in Yizhou since you were a child?"

"Isn't it!" Meng Yao replied casually, "Where else can I go?" ”

"Meng Yao, have you ever studied martial arts? I heard that many people around the world know martial arts. Ye Boyu asked cautiously, keeping his eyes on Meng Yao's face to see if Meng Yao had any special expression.

"Martial arts?" Meng Yao turned around suddenly, with a blank expression, "How can I know any martial arts." Brother Bo Boyu, you like these messy things so much, you must do martial arts, right? Why don't you teach me, okay? In this way, I don't have to be afraid of people bullying me. ”

"Who dares to bully you, Xiao Mengyao. Ye Boyu retracted his gaze and waved his hand again and again: "It's good if you don't bully others, others still dare to recruit you! Besides, I'm just tinkering with those messy things, where can I learn martial arts!"

"Why, it's good if I don't bully people. You mean I'm fierce!" Meng Yao didn't care, looked at the two paintings for a while, blinked her eyes, and suddenly asked: "Brother Bo Boyu, the mountains in these two paintings are tall and straight, very similar to the mountains in our house." ”

"Yes!" Ye Boyu suddenly became interested, "Meng Yao, you mean, you have seen these mountains in the painting near your house?"

"Not really. Meng Yao shook her head and said, "It's just that it feels similar." When I was a child, I went to the mountains with my parents, and they were all mountains of all sizes, high and low. ”

"That's right. You Sichuan is full of mountains. Ye Boyu nodded.

Meng Yao put down the painting in her hand, walked back and forth in the room a few more times, and asked, "Brother Bo Boyu, where has Sister Zi Yan gone?" Why didn't you see her?" ”

"Well, she's going out for a walk, and she'll be back in a moment. Ye Boyu replied casually, "By the way, Meng Yao, why didn't your brother Bai Qin come with you today?"

"He went to some jewelry with my uncle early in the morning, and refused to take me with him. It's said that it's full of adults there, and there's nothing fun about it, just shopping. I'm bored to death at home alone, so I came to you. Meng Yao pouted and said, "I didn't expect to come to you to take a look, you don't have anything interesting here, and Sister Ziyan is not there, no one is talking to me." ”

Ye Boyu smiled bitterly and didn't answer.

The two talked for a while, Ye Boyu had been controlling his divine thoughts, and did not go to investigate Meng Yao, for fear of startling the snake, so that Meng Yao realized that she was testing her, and just waited for the opportunity to find a way to confirm it. However, what he said to Meng Yao just now made Ye Boyu's idea that the mountain in the painting was from Shu more conclusive, and he also felt that Meng Yao must be a person who cultivates the truth, and it is unknown whether she is an enemy or a friend.

After more than half an hour, Meng Yao turned Ye Boyu's house inside and out, and asked about all kinds of things, before she said that she had made an appointment with Wang Baiqin to go to Wang Baiqin's aunt's house for dinner at noon, and if she didn't stay at Ye Boyu's house for more, she would get up and say goodbye and go home. Ye Boyu wished she would go back sooner, Zi Yan couldn't tell when she would get home, she was happy when she heard Meng Yao say goodbye, she was happy, and she casually said a few words, and then got up and sent Meng Yao away. As soon as Meng Yao left, Ye Boyu said to himself, in fact, if it weren't for the unknown friends and enemies, this cute little sister with a hot body would really be very exciting.

I hurriedly cleaned up my home, and then I was relieved to wait for Zi Yan to come back.

Near noon, Zi Yan returned home, as soon as she entered the door, she saw the big cardboard box full of jade, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she asked endlessly, Ye Boyu said that it was sent by Wang Baiqin in the morning, saying that he had too many things there, and he really couldn't put them down, and he didn't need them, so he brought them to Ye Boyu and gave them to Ye Boyu.

Zi Yan seemed to believe it or not, and if she looked at those things carefully, they were all fine jade, which was the best material for forging swords. I am also quite happy in my heart, especially the palm-sized emerald, dark green without a trace of variegated jade, and my "Biquan" sword has the bonus effect of the five elements of wood attributes, which can be said to be a good material that can be met but not sought.

Seeing that Zi Yan was happy, Ye Boyu analyzed Zi Yan's views on the two paintings again, and Zi Yan also nodded yes, and the two discussed, without further ado, they decided to pack up on the same day, and rush to Shu again the next day to find out.
