Twenty paintings were stolen

"Tomorrow we will go to the Jade Immortal Tower. ”

"Eat the best. ”

"Brother Liu..."

“...”

After drinking this confusing wine, Liu Zheng, a beggar who came out of the beggar's nest, walked aimlessly on the street and touched the little silver tael left in his arms.

Thinking of this "valuable" fairy meat, the beggar Liu looked angry and kicked the stones on the ground angrily.

The cold evening breeze blew, and the beggar Liu shivered, "It's better to... Let's go to Zhou's house to avoid it... You can also have two hot meals to eat and a bed to sleep in. Thinking of this, he walked in the direction of Shopkeeper Zhou's house as soon as his footsteps turned.

Guobei County, two watches

Under the bridge, a beggar's nest

A beggar lifted the pot of freshly stewed meat, looked at it and ate all the remaining shredded meat inside, and wiped and wiped the remaining soup stains in the pot with his dirty black hands, and licked and licked his fingers.

"Lao Zeng, you say, can this beggar Liu really invite us?" the beggar threw the clean pot in his hand to the ground, threw his chopsticks in, and said.

Zeng beggar looked at the beggar who was talking, smiled and shook his head.

"Then why did you let him go, he still has the silver on him!" said the beggar, who was lying scratching on the side, jumped up and said with a anxious face.

After hearing their conversation, several beggars also began to coax: "Yes, yes, and his shoes, they are estimated to be worth it..."

Zeng beggar sat down, and the beggars around him hurriedly gathered around, "Don't worry, the cooked duck can't run, you will start watching at the door of various wine shops tomorrow, so that the little silver on his body can't be spent." Looking at the beggar beside him, he spoke.

"Don't let him spend money", the beggars looked at each other

"He will hide where he can eat, there is no place in the city to eat for nothing, where he can eat, he has to work, and he will have money to work. He took a wooden stick and stirred the fire in front of him, and the corners of the beggar's mouth hooked.

"When the meat is in the pot, simmer it slowly, and the oil and meat can bring out the flavor. ”

The beggar's face flickered with the light and shade of the bonfire in front of him, half of his face was smiling, and the other half was hidden in the darkness, unable to see his expression.

The clouds covered the sky, and it was going to rain.

For days, the scholar would run out, and no one knew what he was up to.

Whew!

The fallen leaves in the small courtyard are decreasing day by day, and the branches of the trees are gradually becoming bare.

Han Qiufen is sweeping the floor.

"Autumnal equinox. Mr. Wei poked his head out of the door and shouted at Han Qiufen.

Putting the broom in his hand on the corner of the wall, Han Qiu split up into a claw, grabbed it on the ground, held the fallen leaves into a ball in the air, and threw them into the wooden barrel containing the dead leaves.

Entered the house

Mr. Wei was drinking tea, and he was going to a private school in a while.

Picking up the kettle on the table, Han Qiufen walked to the stove.

"Did the killer last time have a clue?" Mr. Wei said with a sip of tea and squinted his eyes.

After Han Qiufen heard this, he turned his head, faced Mr. Wei, and shook his head.

Nodding slightly, Mr. Wei put the teacup on the table, stood up and said, "Let's follow him, and take him home when it's critical." ”

The kettle was filled and put on the table, Han Qiufen nodded and walked out of the house.

Guobei County, Zhou's family

storeroom

"Old Turtle South Looking to Cang Song" was placed in the center of the warehouse at this time, and outside the house, two Zhou family members with sticks stood on duty day and night.

The door of the storeroom was only half a person's height, and a large lock was added to the outside, and the storeroom was not large, and only a narrow beam of light shone in from the outside.

The light shone in from the very top of the wall in the back, and there was a small hole in it, about the size of two palms, and a circle of short wooden thorns around the hole.

"Open the door. A low, old voice came from outside the door.

After the chain sounded, the old shopkeeper Zhou walked into the warehouse with a cane.

Since the painting of Lu painter was sent to Zhou's house, Mr. Zhou would come to see this painting every day, and he was ready to show the guests the scenery of this painting on the day of the birthday banquet.

Ahem, ahem

After covering his mouth and nose with his hand and coughing twice, Old Man Zhou picked up the painting of "Old Turtle Looking South to Cangsong".

The painting is placed in the brocade box, the top cover is taken off, and the picture scroll is poured out, the old man's eyes have a joy that cannot be hidden, and he tremblingly opens the red tie on the picture scroll, and he carefully unfolds the painting little by little.

There is a small hook on the wall, which is used to hang the scroll, and the hook at the top of the scroll is carefully hung on.

The old man Zhou, who was on crutches, held the other end of the painting scroll trembling and slowly retreating.

As the scroll unfolds,

The old turtle in the painting has disappeared, and the lifelike pine forest that usually opened it has also disappeared.

There is a blank on the reels,

The painting is gone.

Bang!

The guard at the door heard the movement coming from inside, and without even thinking about it, he hurried into the storeroom.

The crutches fell to his side, Old Man Zhou's mouth was pursed tightly, and the fingers pinching the painting scroll turned white because of the hard grip.

Guobei County, Zhou's family

Inside the house

"You guys take these things out and send them to the New Year's warehouse. "The shopkeeper of Xiao Zhou, who was wearing a square crown and a brocade robe, was greeting the guys who were transporting the goods and carrying things.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper!" After a burst of shouting, a man who was panting and shouting ran into the courtyard.

"Say!" Xiao Zhou's shopkeeper's eyes continued to stare at the guys carrying things in front of him.

The family took a better breath, "Painting, painting is gone."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhou's eyes widened, and he shouted anxiously to the family: "Where is my father!?" He knew how much his father valued this painting.

After shouting, he didn't wait for the family to reply, and hurriedly ran to the backyard.

The painting of the Zhou family is in Guobei County, in the blue sky and white day,

Stolen.
