Chapter 16: Portraits of the Whole Village
The sixth aunt called her husband, son and son-in-law, and carried the terminally ill old lady to the door of Jiang Li's house.
This is a rare thing for the people in the village, everyone puts down the work at hand, and a group of people come to see the excitement.
Some people gathered around and began to make bold guesses.
"What bad thing has Jiang Li done? Aunt Six wants to carry the old lady to the door? ”
"Didn't Jiang Li just give birth to twins and still be in confinement? Why did you mess with Aunt Liu's family again? ”
"Looking at the majestic and high-spirited appearance of the sixth aunt, I'm afraid that Liangzi is too big this time!"
Carrying a dying person to someone else's door would never have been able to do such a thing if it weren't for a deep hatred.
If it's someone else, forget it, the protagonist this time is Jiang Li, who is famous in their village!
If you don't go and see what is going on, you must be curious and scratch your liver tonight, and you won't even be able to sleep.
The sixth aunt instructed the men in the family to put the stretcher at the gate of the courtyard, she knocked on the door carefully, and her tone of voice was much softer.
The most important thing is that she called Jiang Li, which turned out to be ......
"Xiao Li, I asked the old lady to be carried over, you open the door."
Xiao Li ???
Is this title a door-to-door revenge?
Why do you look like you're rushing to please others?
And this tone is gentler than calling one's future daughter-in-law.
What the hell is going on???
Jiang Yi opened the door and invited Aunt Six and the others into the courtyard, and several villagers took the opportunity to squeeze in, after all, it was only when it was close that it was beautiful and lively.
Aunt Six was afraid that everyone would quarrel with the old lady, so she quickly closed the door of the yard, and Aunt Liu's operation successfully aroused the curiosity of the villagers, and everyone stretched their necks to look inside.
Jiang Yi put a chair next to the old lady and went to the house to help the pale Jiang Li out.
Jiang Li held a paintbrush and easel in her hands, and she sat in the middle of the courtyard under the gaze of everyone.
"What is Jiang Li holding? It can't be a drawing board, right? ”
"Does Jiang Li know how to draw? When did she learn? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
"She's going to paint in public? Could it be that the portrait of the captain and the old lady was really painted by her? ”
The questions in everyone's minds popped up one by one.
Jiang Li sat down tightly, and first carefully observed the old lady's figure and appearance.
Especially the folds on the face and a red mole on the center of the eyebrows, these details should be paid special attention.
Although it is not the first time she has painted, it is the first time she has painted in front of everyone.
Jiang Yi, who was guarding the side, was excited, he was Jiang Li's younger brother, but he never knew that his sister could draw.
But that didn't stop him from believing that his sister could do it.
He was the most suspicious of all, and he didn't even know about the matter at the captain's house. But he also trusts her the most, even if his sister says that she can pick the stars in the sky, he believes it!
The noisy crowd affected her train of thought, and Jiang Li just frowned slightly, and Jiang Yi keenly noticed it.
He turned his head and put his right index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture to everyone.
"Shhhh
Jiang Yi's eyes were bright and his attitude was sincere, and the sixth aunt stared back with her hands on her hips, and the crowd that was still gossiping just now instantly became silent.
Jiang Yi was very satisfied with this result, and the sixth aunt continued to cross her waist and maintain this posture to deter everyone, lest they forget to disturb Jiang Li painting halfway through for a while.
"Aunt Six, do you want me to paint the old lady the way she is now or with a smile on my face?"
"Let's just draw it as it is, it's more realistic. But to paint her with her eyes open, the portrait is weird and scary with her eyes closed. ”
Jiang Li knew the sixth aunt's request, and the paintbrush in her hand moved quickly, quickly outlining the outline of the old lady.
"It's moving, Jiang Li is moving!"
Someone whispered, very excited.
Whether Jiang Li can paint or not, today I will see the real trick under everyone's noses!
It's a mule or a horse, and if you pull it out and walk it, you know everything.
Jiang Li didn't know what this painting meant today.
The eyes of the masses are bright, and it is difficult to reconcile, and it is not so easy to satisfy everyone.
She wants to make money in Jiangjia Village, and the portrait she paints must serve the public.
Jiang Li was calm on the surface, but in fact, his hands were shaking slightly all the time.
She forcibly suppressed the excitement and carefully outlined the filling, and the villagers standing outside peeking one by one stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks.
Those who had blended in before also craned their necks to stand behind Jiang Li, and they first saw some messy lines, and then these lines had the outline of a person.
Under the constant filling of the pen in Jiang Li's hand, those seemingly messy lines gradually took on the appearance of an old lady.
The boss with their eyes stared, opened their mouths in surprise, and it was the most intuitive to see so closely, it was obviously some lines that couldn't be beaten by eight poles, how could the more they looked like an old lady lying on a stretcher?
Her closed eyes, in particular, were now open on the paper.
Oh roar! This level of realism really looks like an old lady suddenly opened her eyes.
What she was holding was an ordinary pencil, but it had magic in her hand.
The painting was nearing the end, and Jiang Li was still sketching out the details.
When the red mole on the old lady's brow was painted, the person standing behind her watched with his mouth wide open enough to stuff an egg into it.
"This, this, this, this......"
A man pointed to the figure in the painting, and was speechless for a long time in surprise.
Isn't this the old lady herself? How did it suddenly appear on paper?
What they had seen in books before, they thought it was impossible, but now they have to believe it no matter how much they don't believe it.
Two of the villagers rubbed their eyes desperately, screaming in surprise when they were sure they weren't dazzled.
"Oh my God! Jiang Li drew it, she really drew it! ”
"It's like it's so realistic, and when I put this picture there, it's like an old lady suddenly opens her eyes and looks at me!"
"It turns out that Jiang Li really knows how to paint, Yao Qiaoyun didn't lie, and she didn't deliberately say good things for her!"
Several villagers rushed to the edge of the courtyard excitedly, they pointed to Jiang Li's back, and excitedly told everyone about the details they had just seen.
Some people almost didn't jump when they talked about the excitement, and if anyone still didn't want to believe it, they were so anxious to fight someone.
Jiang Li had entered a wonderful state at this moment, no matter how noisy the sounds around her were, she could immerse herself in her own world.
The old lady's appearance became a 3D picture in her mind, and every detail was clear at a glance.
The villagers thought she had finished painting, but in fact it was the final detail that was the soul.
It wasn't until Jiang Li put down his paintbrush and beckoned to Jiang Yi that he rushed towards his sister.
The moment he saw the portrait of the old lady, he covered his mouth and burst into tears of excitement.
"Like, too similar, sister, you're so good!"
