Chapter 8: It's a good time on earth
In a shop on the side of the street, Xi Yan was staring at a painting curiously, and shouted to the owner of the store: "Boss, who painted this painting, it's so good!"
The boss greeted him and looked at it, "Oh, this painting is the handiwork of a contemptible child, not for sale, not a rare thing, if the girl likes it, I can give it to you." As he spoke, he was about to take it off.
Xiyan hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "No, no, I don't want this painting, I want to ask the person who painted this painting to help us paint two of them." ”
"Huh?" the boss was stunned.
Cang Yan was also surprised, "Xi'er, what are you going to do?"
Xi Yan smiled and pulled Cang Yan aside and leaned into his ear, "Didn't you say that ordinary people can't see us as we are, I want to see what we are like in their eyes." She smiled and asked the boss: "Boss, can you, if you draw us well, it doesn't matter how much money you have!"
The boss was also happy, maybe he didn't expect that a painting made by his son, who was not usually useful, could attract two nobles. He hurriedly invited the two of them to the back hall, told them to wait a moment, and then went and called his son. The gallery owner's son was originally just a nobodyless scholar, and the painting was made at random in his spare time, and when he heard that someone had taken a fancy to his painting, he was surprised to go out to see what was going on, but he didn't particularly want to take on this errand. However, somehow, the young man just saw the two people who were talking outside, and the words that he wanted to refuse suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he immediately promised to draw it two days later.
Two days later, Cang Yan and Xi Yan came to the store to pick up the painting, but the scholar only took out one. Xiyan was wondering, didn't he say that he had two good paintings, and when he opened the scroll, it turned out that the scholar had painted the two of them on one painting. The sunset on the painting is smart and lovely, smiling like a flower, wearing two white hairpin flowers on the bun, green jade falling on the thin neck, the light green figure is exquisite, is looking sideways at the side of the cangyan, the slender jade fingers are wrapped around a snow-white fox, and there is also one on the shoulder. Cang Yan was dressed in a lilac forging, with a long black hair as flowing water casually draped behind him, under the sword eyebrows was a pair of soft and amorous eyes, with a seductive smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was gently holding the green silk scattered by the woman in his hand. The faint brilliance sprinkled on the two of them, indescribably beautiful, this is the posture of the two in the human world.
Xi Yan sneered, "It turns out that Cang Yan is like this, very different from you!"
The scholar thought that she thought he was not good at drawing, so he apologized: "Xiaosheng's painting skills are clumsy, and the girl laughs." ”
"Ah, no, no, no, I don't mean you don't draw well, I should thank you for drawing us so beautifully! ”
The scholar explained: "But I felt that the girl and this beautiful fox were very compatible, so I couldn't help but draw it." ”
Belch...... Is it because I'm a fox too?
The scholar continued: "Originally, the girl asked me to paint two paintings, but Xiao Sheng felt that painting the girl and this son on the same painting would be more charming, and it would better bring out the match between the two of them, so he couldn't bear to break up a pair of beautiful people on the painting. ”
Cang Yan suddenly coughed lightly and looked at the ground. Xiyan looked a little embarrassed, the scholar seemed to have misunderstood something, but he didn't bother to explain it to him, so he took the painting and was about to pay for it. The scholar stopped: "I have made an argument to dismiss the girl's original intention, and I will not take the two of you this time, I should give it to you." ”
"This can't be done, how can there be a pie in the world, anyway, what we have is money, take it!" said and put a bag of silver in the scholar's hand.
The scholar's eyes were straight, probably he had never seen so much money in his life, what was the origin of these two people? As soon as he looked up, he saw that the woman was holding the man's hand and leaving, just like a young couple, it was indeed a pair of peerless jasper. In admiration, he rushed into the study, studied the pen and ink, and continued to paint another painting.
In the following years, the gallery attracted more customers, and what attracted them was a painting called "A Match Made in Heaven" that painted Xiyan and Cangyan. But this painting is only for appreciation, and even if someone pays a high price to buy it, the owner does not sell it, but uses it as a treasure in the town. However, Xiyan and Cang Yan themselves had no idea about this good story in the world.
Cang Yan looked at Xi Yan, who was walking in front of him and had to look at everything curiously, shook his head and sighed: "Xi'er, you still said that I spent money where I shouldn't have spent it, look at you, how many messy things have been bought for half a day, and every time I give people a large sum of money, and ......" He looked at the mushrooms he was holding in his hand, and suddenly felt a crow flying over his head, "What are you doing with so many mushrooms?" Qingqiu also has. ”
"This, I think the mushrooms in the human world definitely taste different from the mushrooms in our Qingqiu, maybe it's more delicious, and you can also make miso soup!"
Cang Yan almost laughed out loud, but he held back in time. What the hell is this girl's head thinking?
"Cang Yan, come here, these hairpins are so beautiful!" Xiyan was so excited that her eyes lit up, it is really a woman's nature to love beauty, although she has enough jewelry, but she still wants to see these hairpins or something.
When the proprietress saw that the business was coming, she hurriedly came over to greet her enthusiastically and asked her which one she had taken a fancy to, but who knew that Cang Yan didn't think about it, "Wrap it all up for me." ”
The proprietress thought she had misheard, and was stunned for a moment, and Xiyan stood aside and looked at her with a smile. The proprietress reacted after a while, and then smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's wrap up the son." ”
After the two left, the proprietress looked at the backs of the two and muttered: "This boy is really generous, I really met a noble person today." ”
Seeing that he had been playing on the street for almost a whole day, Xiyan had gained a lot, so he was going to find a place to rest, and when he turned around, he saw a person passing by Cang Yan out of the corner of his eye, and then he sped up his pace and went to the suburbs. Xi Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and without waiting for Cang Yan to stop him, he pointed at the man and shouted, "Little thief, stop me!"
It was okay to steal things and steal their money bags in broad daylight, but the thief stole Cang Yan's jade pendant! It was the only priceless treasure in the world! Dare to be so rampant under their noses, see if she can't clean him up! Xi Yan kicked under his feet and immediately chased after the thief, and Cang Yan shouted at her behind her, she shouldn't either.
The thief heard Xiyan's shout, looked back, and saw a green shadow following after him, panicked, and ran faster. Xi Yan's eyes glared angrily, and she wanted to run, but it was not so easy! If it weren't for the fact that there were many people in the market, she would have used to fly, but compared to her speed, hehe, Xi Yan couldn't help laughing, just a human being, how could she outrun her as a demon! She looked around at no one, and with a flick of her sleeve, a green silk flew out of her sleeve, and a spirit snake rushed to the thief, circled around him, and hung the man on the branch.
Hahahaha, Xiyan smiled and tilted her head to look at the man, "Where are you going?"
The thief was frightened and frightened, and struggled and begged for help: "You, you, let me down!"
Xi Yan put his arms across his chest, "Where's the jade pendant?"
The thief said, "What jade pendant?"
Xi Yan raised her eyebrows, "Pretend to be stupid with me, I obviously saw you steal the jade pendant from Cang Yan!"
The man refused to admit it, and said stiffly: "I didn't steal it! I've never seen any jade pendant!" After saying this, he suddenly shouted "Wow Wow", and the green silk on his waist tightened more and more for some reason, and almost broke his bones. He hurriedly begged for mercy: "Heroine spare your life, if you put me down, I will return the jade pendant to you." ”
Xiyan didn't eat this, and stretched out his hand, "Return the jade pendant first, and then I will consider whether to let you go." ”
"Woman, you tied me up like this, how can I give you the jade pendant. ”
"It's simple, tell me where the jade pendant is?"
The thief's eyes flashed, and he said, "Woman, don't you want to take it yourself?" I must have put the jade pendant in a relatively private place, men and women are not kissed, I will not let you take advantage." ”
Xi Yan glanced at him, and saw that his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks were not serious, and he took advantage of him? Who is the one who suffers more? The corners of her eyes couldn't help twitching.
The thief's eyes turned around, his obscene gaze stayed on Xi Yan, and he smiled obscenely: "It's okay if the woman wants to search me, I put the jade pendant on the belt of my trousers, hehe." ”
Xiyan was stunned, and she didn't know what demon magic was used, so the jade pendant returned to Xiyan's hand, along with the stolen money bag. The thief suddenly exclaimed, "You, youkai!"
Xiyan grinned, "You only know now, I'm a monster, what's wrong, it's better than you, a lewd thief." Then she said quietly: "You dare to steal monster things, you are really bold......"
As he spoke, he saw the thief's eyes glaring at the boss, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and shouted in horror: "Monster!" While staring at his legs, he seemed to want to run, but the green silk on his body was so entangled that he couldn't break free no matter how he struggled, so he could only stare at Xiyan in fear, and shouted in his mouth, "Don't come." ”
Xiyan smiled lowly, the laughter was strange and eerie, and gradually approached the man, only to hear a voice behind him: "Xi'er." Xiyan stopped, and the moment he turned around, the terrifying wrinkles on his face disappeared, and he returned to his original appearance, and said with a smile: "Cang Yan, I caught this little thief." ”
Cang Yan looked behind Xiyan, and saw that the person hanging on the tree was already frightened, and he suddenly laughed, "Alas, Xi'er, you are naughty again." ”
"Hmph, who told him to steal our things, I just scared him, eh? Why is this person so daring, he actually peed his pants, hahaha!" Xiyan looked at the man's embarrassment and laughed heartily.
Cang Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "The lesson has also been learned, and the things have been brought back, let's go." ”
Xiyan didn't want to stop there, she took the money bag in her hand, meditated, and said to the thief: "Do you want me to let you down?"
The man had been frightened by Xi Yan's appearance just now, and he couldn't say anything now, so he just nodded in fear.
Xiyan said happily: "Okay, I'll let you down." As soon as he spoke, the man fell into the pond by the tree with a pop, and at some point the man's trousers hung on the branches, and he was so embarrassed that he could not get out of the water. Xiyan said empathetically: "Seeing that your pants are soaked, you might as well let them dry." ”
This situation caused Cang Yan to laugh out loud, and his shoulders couldn't help but tremble lightly with the laughter, he probably hadn't laughed like this for a long time, just like the tip of the iceberg that instantly dissolved, and even everything was going to sink because of it. Cang Yan's smile is really pleasing to the eye, Xi Yan couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
