Chapter 154: It's hard to draw a tiger's skin and bones

The leaves on the branches are yellow again, the yellow leaves are spread all over the ground, the eyes are full of gold, this gold, is the harvest of gold, is full of expectation of gold, this year's harvest is also exceptionally good, persimmons are like a small lantern, looking at the heavy hanging on the tree, exuding an attractive fruit fragrance, after they are ripe, they are made into persimmons, those persimmons sold on the street are sweet, the taste is very wonderful, Bai Qiuyue's stomach in the stomach of the worm especially likes to eat, she bought some persimmons, a few bites of a meal can not stop.

And under her recommendation, Ge Chunhua and the others were also obsessed with eating persimmons.

Ge Chunhua said with a smile: "This year, the wind and rain are smooth, and the farmers' harvest is very good. ”

Bai Qiuyue often saw that the faces of the farmers were full of happy smiles, this year, there were no floods, no natural disasters, no wars, and everything was smooth.

Everyone is grateful to the warriors who are guarding the frontier. Because the border wars continued, and without them guarding there and defeating those countries that invaded the Central Plains, maybe the border would be in an emergency, and naturally it would not be so peaceful.

Bai Qiuyue's thoughts about Shao Yifei are increasing day by day, she sometimes dreams that Shao Yifei comes back covered in blood, and when Shao Yifei's letter comes back, telling him that everything is okay, she will breathe a long sigh of relief.

And when she was writing with Shao Yifei, Bai Qiuyue also told him about her inn, she was very happy and proud to tell Shao Yifei all this, and she hoped that Shao Yifei would recognize all that she had done.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival moon is exceptionally round, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the lord of Jiahui also came to the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Inn, Yi'er, Ge Fan also came with Tian'er.

Everyone gathered together, so lively! Chunhua Qiuyue Inn has launched luxurious mooncakes, mooncakes with abalone and sea cucumber flavor, mooncakes with beef flavor, with a table of good dishes made in the store, everyone is eating, laughing and talking about what has happened in the past few months, and Chunhua Qiuyue Inn has a lot of income. The county lord of Jiahui praised Bai Qiuyue's business acumen.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Qiuyue also specially arranged good-looking performances, and those performances really attracted many customers. Bai Qiuyue's Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Inn's business is getting better and better, and she will feel happy in her heart. And on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she saw Liu Yanxi's figure.

Bai Qiuyue has deliberately kept her distance from him since Liu Yanxi confessed to her that day. And he rarely saw Bai Qiuyue again, on this day, Bai Qiuyue saw Liu Wanxi and found that he was getting thinner and thinner.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a day for family reunions, but Liu Wanxi was still alone, Bai Qiuyue saw Liu Wanxi's thin figure, and had a deep sympathy for him.

And when Liu Yanxi was there to settle the bill, it was difficult for him to take out a lot of money in his arms to settle the money for this dish, Bai Qiuyue looked at him wearing a mask, but he knew that Liu Yanxi must be very embarrassed at the moment.

And Bai Qiuyue noticed that there was redness and swelling next to Liu Yanxi's mouth, and when he paid the money, there was an obvious bruise on his sleeve, and Tang Hui also noticed the bruise on his sleeve, so he signaled Bai Qiuyue to let him not settle the bill. He also looked at the man in front of him with distress.

Bai Qiuyue naturally didn't want Liu Yanxi to settle the bill, she knew that Liu Yanxi's life was very embarrassing, but Liu Yanxi had his integrity, and he insisted on settling the bill.

And Bai Qiuyue saw that his wide robe was getting wider and wider, and he lost a lot of weight, originally she wanted Liu Yanxi to continue to play the piano for her inn, but she paid Liu Yanxi her salary, Liu Yanxi naturally didn't need it, in order not to owe Bai Qiuyue's friendship, he said that he had found another job. Bai Qiuyue naturally didn't force him to stay.

On this day, Bai Qiuyue saw that Liu Yanxi's money could not be paid, so she just told Liu Yanxi: "There is an event in the inn today, the dishes you just ate are discounted, and you have eaten so many knots, so much money is enough." ”

Liu Yanxi looked at Bai Qiuyue with gratitude, and Bai Qiuyue saw that his eyes were very sad, his eyes were very empty, and he had lost his lustre, Bai Qiuyue didn't know what happened to him, just watched him stagger out of the door, as if he was drunk and stumbled.

And Tang Hui and Ge Chunhua looked at the back of Liu Yanxi leaving with a distressed face, Tang Hui shook his head, he sighed: "Poor, tell me, obviously the Mid-Autumn Festival is a time of reunion, he is alone, you say, he is dumb, it is difficult to survive!" ”

Ge Chunhua also sighed: "Liao Feng has a lot of backbone, but ah, this backbone is not suitable for eating!" Sister Qiuyue, he is your friend, you have to help him! ”

Bai Qiuyue knew that Ge Chunhua and Tang Hui were very warm-hearted people, and Bai Qiuyue didn't want to help him! In his current situation, others can see that he is poor, Bai Qiuyue's eyes are blurred, and his throat is astringent, as if he is blocking something! It's not a good taste, and my throat is sore, my nose is sore, and my tears are about to fall out.

Lord Jiahui saw this situation on the side, based on her intuition, Bai Qiuyue and him should have known each other for a long time, and she had heard before that Bai Qiuyue had fallen in love with someone, but that person was dead, could it be ......

However, Lord Jiahui did not express this doubt.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Qiuyue has a heart block, she thinks in her heart that she has to help Liu Wanxi, because Liu Wanxi has also helped her, she wants to give Liu Yanxi money to subsidize his life, and let him accept what she gives him without hurting his self-esteem.

When Bai Qiuyue went to find Liu Yanxi with a big belly, Liu Yanxi saw her and hurriedly let her in, but Bai Qiuyue saw Liu Yanxi's deep thought and sighed deeply.

And on his desk, the messy paper was scattered all over the ground, and the paintings on it were very beautiful, but they were crumpled into a ball, Bai Qiuyue opened the papers, and asked Liu Yanxi with some curiosity: "Obviously, the paintings on your paper are so beautiful, why do you want to discard them?" ”

Liu Yanxi shook his head and said dejectedly: "My paintings are not very good, not beautiful at all. ”

Bai Qiuyue had a sad feeling in her heart, obviously she was in her prime, and she was very proud of her painting ability, why is she so unconfident now!

And Bai Qiuyue also noticed the wound on the corner of his mouth and the wound on his arm, and hurriedly asked him the reason.

He said with some sadness: "Yue'er, your current life situation is very good, you never thought that there are many people who are still in dire straits, and they are being poured cold water for their ridiculous dignity!" Denigrate! ”

He sat dejectedly, looking at the sky with a dull expression, and Bai Qiuyue saw that his ankles were also rubbing some skin.

And Bai Qiuyue is a careful person, the last time she saw the red and swollen places on his body, she knew that he was injured, and she specially brought gold sore medicine for him to put on it.

Bai Qiuyue's heart was very uncomfortable, now, she completely regarded Liu Yanxi as her friend, and when her friend was in trouble, she naturally would not sit idly by.

Liu Yanxi applied the gold sore medicine and applied it to the wound, and he couldn't help but "hiss"~, he felt very painful.

The smell of the gold sore medicine was very strong, Bai Qiuyue smelled very uncomfortable, and she endured the feeling of being sick to her stomach, looked at Liu Yanxi's sad eyes, and asked him what happened.

Liu Yanxi told her sadly: "Have you ever heard the story of painting a tiger with skin and bones? ”

Bai Qiuyue didn't know what it meant.

I only heard Liu Yanxi sadly narrate his story. When Bai Qiuyue heard this, she was also very angry.

It turned out that there was a person who asked Liu Yanxi to draw a tiger.

This person used to be a friend of Liu Yanxi, called Shi Liyan, for this friend, Liu Yanxi naturally treated him sincerely, and when he was not down, he always got together for dinner with him before.

Naturally, he didn't hide his identity, and after Liu Wanxi was down, this person said that he was willing to help him and ask him to help make a painting for himself, he was in business, and he wanted Liu Wanxi to make a painting about a tiger for him. Said that he would be given a sum of money when the painting was completed.

Liu Yanxi naturally treated this matter very carefully, in order to complete the painting, he did not sleep for two whole days, the tiger on the painting was imposing and lifelike, Liu Yanxi thought that he had done it well.

However, when he confidently took this painting over, Shi Liyan had already hung another painter's painting, the tiger in that painting, in Liu Yanxi's opinion, the color is very good, and he also pays attention to skills, but the painting is still lacking in momentum.

But Shi Liyan praised this painter very much, this painter is well-known in Blood Yang City. Many dignitaries and dignitaries asked him to paint.

And when his father took the painter to his friend's house, his friend smiled and said, "Your presence has really made our place shine!" ”

His father told him: "Fan Jian, no matter how many people want to invite him, it is also your honor to invite him now." ”

And this person saw Liu Yanxi at the door, and looked at him with some embarrassment.

Liu Yanxi took his painting very confidently, and it was obvious that Liu Yanxi's painting was better than that person!

When the painter saw Liu Yanxi's paintings, he said with some contempt: "In general, how can I use so brilliant colors!" ”

Liu Yanxi was not easy to mess with, so he said to the painter: "Beauty is beautiful, soulless." ”

Fan Jian listened to his words and also felt that he had hit his pain point, because more than one person pointed out the problems with his paintings. And he was a little angry and said: "Stinky boy, you don't inquire about my fame, no one in the radius has such a big reputation as me!" Are you embarrassed to compare your drawings to me? Shi Liyan, tell me who looks good in my paintings and his paintings! ”

And Shi Liyan was in a dilemma, but he thought that Fan Jian's father was a captain, and he just painted as a hobby, so he didn't dare to offend him, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "I think your paintings are still good-looking!" His paintings aren't as good as yours! ”

"It means that you have vision!" Fan Jian said with a smile.

Shi Liyan's father also said with a smile: "Yes! How can he compare with you? It's beyond my power to compare with you! ”

Liu Yanxi didn't know why, his head was dizzy, his vision was blurred, and he looked at Shi Liyan in front of him, a flattering look appeared on his face, his eyes turned into foxes, and what his eyes revealed was cunning and a little shrewd! And Shi Liyan's father laughed so loudly that it was hard to hear, like the crow of a crow!

Liu Yanxi's soul seemed to be emptied, feeling that this was not everything he knew, and he felt strongly for the first time that he was out of place.

He felt like he was sick.

And he saw that the tiger in Fan Jian's painting seemed to jump out, as if it was about to bite him! He was terrified.

And there was the sound of a few people laughing in his ears, and they were talking about the happy place, Fan Jian looked at Liu Yanxi, and one of himself hit him, so he said to him mockingly: "You can't stand it if you lose!" You can't compare yourself to me! ”

And Shi Liyan knew Liu Yanxi's character, he couldn't admit defeat, he gave Liu Wanxi a look, and asked Liu Wanxi to stop arguing.

However, to his surprise, Liu Yanxi just clapped his hands: "Wonderful! Wonderful! I'm ashamed of myself! ”

Fan Jian looked at Liu Yanxi's applause and thought that he had made a mistake. Just when he was proud, Liu Yanxi said with a smile: "But I think this painting is still one thing missing!" ”

Fan Jian asked with some confusion: "What else is missing?" ”

Liu Yanxi smiled and said, "Missing a mouse!" Don't you think that the tiger in this painting doesn't look like a tiger, like a cat, and like a sick cat! It's not a bad mouse next to it, and it can't show its temperament! ”

Fan Jian was so angry that he wanted to beat him, but Liu Yanxi pushed him!

Fan Jian naturally would not spare him, and let Shi Liyan and his father beat him, and Shi Liyan and his father ordered someone to beat him. When he beat him, Shi Liyan saw Liu Yanxi's sad eyes, disappointed, and sad.

His gaze stung him deeply, but Shi Liyan thought that even if he offended his friend, he couldn't offend Fan Jian.

Fan Jian saw that Liu Wanxi had been taught a lesson, so he walked away.

After Fan Jian left, Shi Liyan breathed a sigh of relief, Shi Liyan picked up the painting on the ground, looked at it, and had to say that Liu Yanxi's painting is worthy of the painting of the first painter, and the tiger on the painting is lifelike, as if it will come to life in the next second.

He liked the painting so much that he said to his father, "We might as well hang one more here!" ”

Shi Liyan's father agreed, and Shi Liyan took Liu Yanxi's hand, his eyes were full of apologies, he wanted to tell Liu Yanxi: "I'm sorry, Yanxi, I just had to do this, out of compensation, I will give you an extra sum of money in addition to the money for the painting!" ”

Shi Liyan took a silver ticket, which was enough for Liu Yanxi to live for a year. Liu Yanxi took the silver ticket, but felt that this silver ticket did not seem to be a silver ticket, but a worthless waste paper.

However, Shi Liyan sent Liu Yanxi away with a silver ticket, and he didn't plan to deal with him anymore.

And when Liu Yanxi looked at Shi Liyan and his father admiring his paintings, he suddenly laughed, and the laughter made Shi Liyan and his father can't help but raise their eyes to look at him.

"It's hard to draw the skin of a tiger and paint the bones! Ha ha! I finally know today that the human heart is unpredictable! Liu said with a smile, laughing sadly, and then he tore the silver ticket in his hand to shreds, threw it at the father and son, and snatched the painting from their hands.

He paints with great care, and he doesn't want to give it to someone who doesn't think it's worth it! And he didn't know what kind of expression Shi Liyan was, and he didn't want to know, he just thought that this friend was dead!

He laughed bitterly and walked away!

After the story was told, Bai Qiuyue listened to it and couldn't help sighing, and she asked where was the painting?

Liu Yanxi showed the painting to Bai Qiuyue, and Bai Qiuyue saw it, the tiger was lifelike, and it was really imposing! If this painting will make people feel bad, it can only be said that the person has no vision.

"Gradually Xi, can you give me this painting?" Bai Qiuyue said seriously, "I think this painting is very good!" I bought this picture from you! ”

And he can give Liu Yanxi a sum of money logically, and it will not hurt his self-esteem.

Seeing Bai Qiuyue's sincere gaze, Liu Yanxi also thought that he was indeed in a very depressed situation, so he agreed to her.

And Bai Qiuyue gave him a lot of silver taels, and he said that this silver tael was too much.

And Bai Qiuyue said gently: "Not much, not much, I think your paintings are priceless, this bit of silver is a little bit of my heart!" I think this painting of yours is worth a fortune, and the little silver tael I gave you is quite a little! Don't be too little, just take it! ”

Liu Wanxi couldn't resist her, so she accepted it, and Bai Qiuyue saw that Liu Wanxi's eyes were filled with some tears. She knew that he was wronged. He also knew her kindness.
