Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Luck in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 207 A Portrait of a Near

This Xie Xiaoming is a two-five boy!

Knowing that it was Xie Xiaoming who betrayed them, Liu Fengliu wanted to cry without tears, and looked up to the sky and howled.

"Alas!"

Meng Li sighed lightly and said: "Since you know everything, I won't hide it from you now, in fact, we are going to investigate a very important matter this time, and bear the burden of humiliation!"

"Yes, yes, bear the humiliation!" Wang Ergou echoed. After speaking, he noticed that something was wrong, and looked up at Meng Li, revealing doubts.

Huh?

Miss Bu sneered: "Don't give me this set, and remember to call me when you go to the drunken spring breeze in the future, you know?"

"You are a daughter, what are you doing in that place?" Meng Li couldn't help but laugh.

"That is, I have never heard of any Qinglou receiving female guests. Liu Fengliu seemed to hear a big joke, holding his stomach and laughing.

But soon, he was glared at by Bu Yu's cold gaze and couldn't laugh anymore.

"Can't I dress up as a man?" Bu Yu gritted his teeth, glared at Liu Fengliu, and said coldly word by word.

"Okay, okay, you're the boss, just be happy!"

Liu Dashao swallowed tears of humiliation.

Bu Yu made a fuss, then went back to the room to rest, and before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Meng Li and the others that he must take her with him next time.

Everyone who finally understood why the eldest lady was asking laughed dumbly, and ran back to their rooms to rest.

One night.

The next day.

Before dawn in the morning, Meng Li got up for morning exercises, and after opening the door, he found that the little ones had gathered in front of the door under the leadership of Xie Xiaoming.

Meng Li led everyone into the courtyard, and under the leadership of Wang Ergou, he accompanied them to fight the basic boxing technique for a while.

After practicing boxing, have breakfast.

Today's martial arts hall is not just three or four people, but more than a dozen mouths waiting to be fed.

Xie Xiaoming and the others are apprentices, and now is the time to grow their bodies, and the amount of food is not much better than that of Wang Ergou, an adult who is nearly 20 years old.

The meal was made by Meng Li himself, and after a meal, his idea of finding someone to help was even more ingrained.

I took the time to go to the front yard to check with the Ding Dong sisters about the Luo family sisters, and the confirmation letter had been sent, and Meng Li was much more relieved.

When he returned to the martial arts hall, he found that Liu Fengliu was being chased by a group of little guys, and it was Xie Xiaoming who took the lead, Meng Li said inexplicably: "What is this for?"

"It's not yesterday, Liu Fengliu just wanted to give Xie Xiaoming a warning and made the little guys anxious. Wang Ergou, who was watching the play on the side, explained with a smile.

"This Liu Fengliu, usually let him practice martial arts more, but he just doesn't listen, this time he suffers!"

Meng Li smiled dumbly when he learned the reason, but he quickly remembered another thing, smiled and asked Wang Ergou, "Have you been in contact with Yan Dilong recently?"

"Not in the last few days, what's wrong?" Wang Ergou wondered.

Since the destruction of the Earth Dragon Gang, Yan Earth Dragon has been absorbed by them, and he is responsible for secretly contacting him. Because of the poison control, this Yan Dilong is quite obedient.

Meng Li said: "It's nothing, I ran into Yuan Yuting when I went out yesterday and had a little conflict with him, I was afraid that he would retaliate." ”

"Just take revenge if there is a little conflict?" Wang Ergou blinked, it seems that this little conflict is very deep!

Meng Li said expressionlessly: "You take the time to find Yan Dilong, let him pay more attention to Yuan Yuting, and report to you in time if there is any situation." ”

"Yan Dilong and I have made an appointment, if there are no special circumstances, we will meet in Bishui Pavilion every three days, and today is the day to meet. ”

"Okay, let's go!"

Wang Ergou has nothing to do now, and after urging the little ones to practice boxing as soon as possible, he went out.

Bishui Pavilion, a famous spot in the north city.

The pavilion is three zhang high, the octagonal flying phoenix, the stone pillar stands under the phoenix, and the pillar coils the green dragon.

The stone top, stone pillar and stone platform are like a whole, clean and flawless, like a whole piece of jade carving, and you can't see a single gap when you look closely.

At this time, under a stone phoenix that was about to fly, Yan Dilong was waiting uneasily.

"You arrived earlier than agreed. ”

Suddenly, a dry voice sounded in his ears.

Hearing this voice, Yan Dilong's heart jumped, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a man wearing a mask appearing in front of him.

This mask is a ghost mask with fangs sticking out of the corners of its mouth, and it is very scary.

When Yan Dilong saw this man with a ghost mask, his heart jumped suddenly, knowing that the person he wanted to see had appeared.

The man wearing the mask is Wang Ergou, and the reason why he has this dress is just to hide people's eyes.

At this time, there are no tourists passing by, and it is unusually cold in the blue water pavilion.

Wang Ergou looked at Yan Dilong and asked, "You seem to be a little uneasy, is something happening?"

Yan Dilong clutched his chest and said, "My lord, I have been feeling unwell recently, it may be that the poison is about to attack, can you give me an antidote to relieve it." ”

Wang Ergou didn't say anything, and directly took out an antidote and threw it to Yan Dilong.

Yan Dilong caught the antidote, and after taking it in his mouth, he relaxed.

Wang Ergou didn't want to waste time, so he asked when Yan Dilong was taking medicine, "Has anything important happened recently?"

"Something important?" Yan Dilong was stunned for a moment: "If you want to talk about important things, there really is one!"

"What's the matter?"

Yan Dilong said: "Yesterday, Yuan Yuting came to me and complained a lot, and finally said that he would teach Boss Meng a lesson and let him die well. Oh, by the way, he also mentioned a person named Xue Baiqi. ”

"Did he really say that?" Wang Ergou's expression suddenly became a little serious, could this Yuan Yuting really want to jump off the wall in a hurry?

Yan Dilong said disapprerovitically: "If you want me to see, Yuan Yuting doesn't have the courage to do this, at most he just complains." ”

Recalling yesterday's experience, Yuan Yuting gave him the feeling of being like a wronged child.

What can a child do out of the ordinary?

Wang Ergou said solemnly: "Whether you complain or not, you can't be careless, after you go back, keep an eye on Yuan Yuting for me, no matter what happens, you can't let it go, at a critical moment, you are allowed to go to the Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall to find me." ”

Yan Dilong nodded yes, now his life is in Meng Li's hands, and he doesn't dare to be negligent.

After returning to the martial arts hall from Bishui Pavilion and seeing Meng Li, Wang Ergou said with a solemn face: "You guessed right, Yuan Yuting is likely to do something to you, not only you, but also a person named Xue Baiqi, who is also very dangerous." ”

Yan Dilong didn't understand the relationship between Meng Li and the Yuan family, so he thought that those were just Yuan Yuting's whining words. And Wang Ergou, who understands the reason, will not take it lightly.

You know, there is also a Seven Star Sect between them.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Seven Star Sect that they and the Yuan family had long been immortal. No matter what Yuan Yuting did, he would not be surprised.

"He didn't even let Brother Xue go?"

Meng Li's face became difficult to look at.

If Yuan Yuting was just targeting him, he would not be afraid, but Xue Baiqi was a powerless scholar with no ability to protect himself.

"Do you know that Xue Baiqi?"

Meng Li smiled bitterly: "The reason why I have a conflict with Yuan Yuting is because of Xue Baiqi. ”

Wang Ergou was surprised: "Who is this Xue Baiqi, who can let you help out?"

"It's just an ordinary person, a painter, a little wooden. Speaking of this, Meng Li suddenly sighed and said, "My brother Xue has no martial arts, I am still a good person to the end, go over and remind him!"

Xue Baiqi's painting workshop is called Baiqi Painting Workshop.

When Meng Li came to Baiqi Studio, Xue Baiqi was painting, and it was the portrait of Meng Li's mother that was painted.

Although only one day has passed, Xue Baiqi's painting work is very fast, and in just one day, the outline of Meng's mother has been depicted, and now there is only one step left.

Only true masters of painting know that coloring, which seems to be an extremely simple step in the painting technique, is actually not that simple.

An excellent master of painting is able to express some atmospheres that are difficult to describe in words through color mixing, and even mobilize the emotions of the viewer.

In Xue Baiqi's understanding, Meng Li has an extremely strong longing for Meng's mother, and if you want to render this emotion, the success of the coloring is extremely important.

Before Meng Li arrived, Xue Baiqi had already adjusted the colors and prepared for coloring, but when he lifted the brush, the pen in his hand could no longer fall.

This doesn't feel right!

Just when Xue Baiqi was worried, Meng Li's voice sounded from behind him.

"Brother Xue!"

"Yikes!"

Xue Baiqi was shocked when he heard this, and his brush clicked on the half-finished work, and immediately destroyed this portrait.

"Alas, it's a pity!" Xue Baiqi put down his paintbrush and shook his head as he looked at the ruined work.

Meng Li said with annoyance: "I'm sorry Brother Xue, I bothered you." ”

Xue Baiqi shook his head and comforted Meng Li: "It's not your fault, even if there is no such failure, I will have to repaint this painting." ”

Meng Li wondered, "Why? Isn't this good?"

He glanced at the portrait and felt good.

Xue Baiqi shook his head and said, "It doesn't feel right!"

Doesn't feel right?

Meng Li frowned, looked at the portrait carefully, and after being reminded by Xue Baiqi, he really noticed a trace of abnormality.

Although it is not yet finished, the feeling of this portrait on him is already very obvious.

There is less of the gentleness in the impression, but more of a touch of coldness.

Meng Li smiled bitterly: "No, it's really not right." ”

The difference is a millimeter, and the error is a thousand miles.

This trace of feeling is wrong, and it is all wrong.

Meng Li needed the mother who had been with him day and night and cared for him.

Xue Baiqi said: "Painting is a wonderful thing, which can preserve beautiful things, from fleeting beauty to eternity. Brother Meng, don't worry, I will definitely draw the portrait you want. ”

Meng Li took a step back, raised his hands flat in front of his chest, and bowed respectfully to Xue Baiqi.

"Brother Xue, thank you. ”

Brother Meng said seriously. Xue Baiqi hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Meng Li and said, "Brother Meng, why did you suddenly come over today?"

"Oh, I almost forgot about business. Only then did Meng Li remember the main purpose of this trip, and said solemnly: "I just got the news that Yuan Yuting is very likely to be unfavorable to you, so I am here to remind you." ”

"Brother Meng has a heart!"

Xue Baiqi held Meng Li's hands and said with a smile: "You can rest assured, Yuan Yuting can only talk about it at most, and he doesn't dare to really do anything to me." ”

Well?

Meng Li didn't know where Xue Baiqi's confidence came from, so he was stunned for a moment, but seeing that the other party was confident, he thought that Xue Baiqi had already had a way to deal with it, so he didn't ask more.

Meng Li didn't want to stay long, pointed to the portrait on the table, and said, "I'll come and pick up the painting in three days?"

"Uh, this ......"

Xue Baiqi had an embarrassed expression on his face. "I'm afraid not this time. ”

"What's wrong?" Meng Li asked.

Xue Baiqi said: "The mobilization of the atmosphere of the portrait should not only be matched with the lines, but also with the colors. If you want to accentuate the warm feeling, you need a very important dye. ”

"What dye?" Meng Li stared at the portrait and said in a deep voice, "I'll help you find it." ”

This portrait carries all his thoughts about his mother, and he is willing to do everything he can for this painting

Xue Baiqi took a deep breath and said, "Ten Thousand Buddha Cinnabar!"
