How to escape from monsters

"The first prize in the XX Cup National Oil Painting Competition, this kid Zitong can do it!"

Han Shu looked at the text message sent by An Zitong, and couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, his friend is really talented, and he can win the first prize in this kind of national competition, which is amazing!

This time, the art exhibition of the entries was held in City B. Unfortunately, before the art exhibition, An Zitong had already gone abroad to develop as he said.Han Shu was really reluctant. An Zitong went abroad for further studies. I believe he will be even more successful after he comes back.

Han Shu donated half of the 10 yuan bonus he got from Xuanwu to a children’s foundation, and spent 2 yuan to buy a lot of painting supplies for An Zitong as a practical example. A salute and a friend's blessing to him.For the rest of the money, he gave part of it to his father who is also abroad now, and the remaining little part, Han Shu wanted to keep it for himself as travel expenses, he wanted to have a show and leave I have been traveling for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity.

A long time ago, he longed for the experiences his father told. Han Yuqing used to be a restless person, especially as a psychologist. He liked to visit local people all over the country and listen to their mental journeys. It was a kind of enjoyment. , It is another kind of training for psychology.After all, there is only knowledge in textbooks, which is different from what you have heard and seen with your own eyes.

When Han Yuqing was young, his favorite thing was traveling. He traveled almost all over Huaguo, and he even went to some inaccessible places.Although there are not many photos left, they are enough to make the young Han Shu yearn for it.

At that time, his father was sitting on the sofa with him in his arms, flipping through the page after page of the photo album, and pointing to the photos on it. Dad Han could still recall the scene at that time, and he was often immersed in the memories. He talked for an afternoon. .And Han Shu didn't find it boring, he could listen to his father's talk with relish all day long!

Maybe it was because the atmosphere at that time was too warm, and the experience that his father said was so exciting and interesting. Han Shu planted the seeds of yearning deep in his little heart, and what made him feel guilty was that his father had him After that, he didn't go out very much. Only when he was on vacation, the father and son would go to some tourist attractions when they went out, and they never went to those inaccessible places again.In this small clinic, Han Yuqing entered the life style of the elderly in advance.Fortunately, now that his father is abroad, Uncle Mike will accompany him to travel, and every trip between the two of them can be regarded as a sweet date.

And Han Shu himself is busy catching up with the progress of his peers all the time. At first, he wants to learn the common sense that other children already know, and learn the language they know when they are young. Later, the most important thing to learn is that normal people should Possess the emotions, the way of doing things, and the correct three views.Even now, Han Shu is still adapting, and the lack of childhood has dealt a huge blow to him.As a result, sometimes his reactions are completely different from those of others. Although it is not obvious now, the difference is still there.

For example, Kurosawa, who is slowly invading his life now, if it is an ordinary person, even if Kurosawa did not do anything extraordinary, the constant surveillance and life without privacy will drive people crazy, so parents should take more care , children will feel more or less stressed and irritable, not to mention an unknown creature controlling their lives in real time.

But in fact, even Han Shu himself was surprised. From the beginning, when Kurosawa talked to him for the first time in the hospital, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Later, when Kurosawa monitored his life, when he just discovered , is definitely disgusting, after all, no normal person would readily accept this kind of surveillance that is extremely possessive and lacks privacy.But in fact, later on, he didn't feel any greater resentment due to the passage of time or Kurosawa's more thorough invasion. If he wants to describe his current feeling, he should be used to it...

Gradually and naturally accepted that there was an unknown creature in my life, and even felt that my life was more comfortable than before. I even felt that this feeling of being accompanied all the time and talking into the air all day was a bit familiar.

I must be crazy, Han Shu's inner rationality told him that this kind of life is not normal, but for some reason, he just couldn't really hate Kurosawa, even if Kurosawa accidentally broke his countless mugs, including his father on him. Bought it for her in middle school, his favorite one, and it made a mess in the garden of the villa. God knows why he suddenly got his hands on those flowers.The harmed Han Shu could only pull out these poor flowers, and the garden is now bare.

He was indeed very angry at the time. After all, there was really no reason for Kurosawa to do these things. At this time, Kurosawa is really like a big dog that can tear up the house. Anyone is fast.Being coquettish with the ugly black tentacles for one day, Han Shu's anger was wiped out by him the next day.

There are exactly two months before he officially starts working, and Han Shu also wants to take this opportunity to go to Yueqing Mountain, which his father once praised so much.

Yueqing Mountain is an extremely common and not very well-known mountain in Province D. Han Yuqing once climbed this mountain which is said to have a wonderful scenery 25 years ago.Even after many years, I still love this mountain, not only because of the beautiful flowers and trickling streams on the mountain, but also because of the wonderful scenery at night.At night, when you look up at the starry sky, you can see the sky full of stars, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the hillside, reflecting the sea of ​​flowers are shining a little bit of starlight, countless fireflies come out, flying in the mid-air, forming a brilliant stream. Green river.

During the preparation stage, Han Shu called his father to report. Since the accident happened in the hospital where Han Shu worked, Han Yuqing had to talk with Han Shu for an hour almost every day before he felt relieved. This made Han Shu feel warm in his heart. Yes, and this time, after hearing about his plan, his father also agreed with this trip, saying that it is good for young people to go out more. Father Han can still tell the story of the year when he was in Yueqing Mountain on the phone. Little by little, friendly people and interesting things, this made Han Shu look forward to it even more.

Yueqing Mountain is just an ordinary mountain, not a famous tourist attraction, and it is located in a very remote place, that is, local residents will go up the mountain, and there are no special tour groups for Yueqing Mountain, which also maintains this mountain. The original style and beautiful scenery.

Han Shu prepared everything including tents and sleeping bags. He carefully recorded all the experiences his father said, and wanted to perfectly reproduce his father's trip and see the scenery that surprised his father with his own eyes. .From the bottom of his heart, Han Shu is also a bit of a stubborn person. He always has a little persistence of his own, such as admiration and worship for his father. Even if it is just a very ordinary mountain, his father said it is good. In Han Shu's heart, It is a place that is more worth looking forward to than the famous five peaks and four mountains in the country.

Three days before departure, Han Shu went to see An Zitong's painting exhibition as scheduled. The painting was exhibited in a large auditorium in City B. The interior decoration was also very artistic. Many people came here attracted by the name. The whole The venue was extremely lively.

Han Shu bought a ticket and entered the exhibition hall, his eyes scanned the paintings around him, looking for his friend's favorite work.The higher the prize winning works, the more conspicuous they were placed. Han Shu easily found the location of the first prize painting, and naturally many people stopped to watch.

Before Han Shu got close, he heard the discussions of people around him, and a teacher brought some art students who looked only six or seven years old to visit.

"Teacher, that painting is so dark!" One of the children pointed directly to the painting in the middle of the first prize.

"This painting was painted by a very young artist called "Warning""

In the middlemost painting, the whole tone is gray-black, as if wrapped in thick fog, and a black skinny hand protruded from the middle of the thick fog, and that hand seemed to be trying to grab something. In the shape of a grasp, some black filaments spreading around the hand are winding towards the center of the hand, like a spider web, covering the faint light in the middle of the hand.The painting uses multiple scenery arrangements, and if you look closely, you can vaguely see a pair of black and red eyes opening in the background of the whole painting.

"It looks so scary..." A child felt a little uncomfortable tugging at the corner of the teacher's clothes, "What does this painting express?"

"The name is a warning. It may be reflecting the dark side of the real society. It may be satirizing the current government for allowing some crimes to spread in the city, but you can see the light in the black hand, which should imply the light of hope. Let's go..." the art teacher talked eloquently, but Han Shu didn't listen to anything at the moment.

When did An Zitong paint such dark things?His paintings have always been full of colorful tones full of fantasy, bright colors combined with Picasso's abstract style, this dark and realistic painting style is not An Zitong's style at all, even if An Zitong is carrying a When a canvas covered in black paint came to him, he also thought it was probably just a fantasy painting with a different tone, but he didn't expect that An Zitong's final product would be like this.And it is even more impossible to say that he is satirizing the real society. An Zitong has always cared about politics and non-politics, and he doesn't care how many corrupt officials and corruption there are in Huaguo. He has always been immersed in his own art world of.

The art teacher began to analyze the delicate painters used in the paintings again, which made Han Shu even more puzzled. An Zitong's painters are very good, Han Shu knows, but what he dislikes the most is the use of thin brushstrokes. For the details, what he prefers is to use a thicker brush to mix several kinds of paints to create a natural messy beauty.

But this time, the details in his painting are so exquisite that even the lines on those black twisted hands are clearly drawn!

"Teacher, I feel a little cold, go and look at other paintings!"

"The air conditioner here is too low, students remember to put on their coats, let's go and see other paintings!"

The onlookers came and went, but Han Shu stared at the painting for a long time as if in a daze.Why does the hand in the painting feel surprisingly familiar?The more Han Shu looked at it, the more he felt that even the lines on it were almost exactly the same as those on Kurosawa's tentacles!

Zitong, what are you warning... Han Shu didn't dare to think about it anymore. He didn't say anything, and he went home naturally, but he thought of a lot of things that he didn't think of before, but he couldn't stop thinking about it. Go, my mind is still a mess, is it a coincidence?Why did An Zitong draw something so similar to Kurosawa?Even if they met, it was only a few minutes in the basement of Beechburg. Why are the details drawn in such detail?Han Shu understood An Zitong's memory, and it was impossible for him to draw the details intact without observing for several hours.

After much deliberation, he still had no clue. An Zitong left very suddenly. When he called, every time he mentioned the painting, he only emphasized that he should go to the art exhibition. He didn't mention the creation of the painting. Even Han Shu Asking will only quickly change the topic, and it seems that they don't want to discuss this issue at all.

It may be that Zitong has been too stimulated recently... Han Shu can only speculate that, he kept this matter in his heart, and called An Zitong at the art exhibition, and An Zitong made it very clear that He didn't want to talk about the painting this time, saying that this painting should be regarded as his dark history. His voice sounded full of energy, and his condition had recovered.

When he said that, Han Shu finally felt relieved. Zitong's painting was probably really affected by his bad condition. Who hasn't done something that didn't suit his style?After thinking this through, Han Shu no longer struggled with this issue.

After returning from the art exhibition, Han Shu began to make the final preparations for the trip. His strategy booklet was already full of rules and regulations, because the Yueqing Mountain he was going to go this time was really remote, so Han Shu could only choose to travel by car. , it is simply that city D is closer to city B than city B to city C.

After making all the preparations, Han Shu stepped out of the door of his house around midnight, "I'm going out..." He said softly to the door.If someone looks inside the door at this time, they will definitely be terrified, because the walls of the entire villa have almost turned black, and countless black tentacles protrude from the walls, waving restlessly, making the entire space They all began to tremble slightly, and Han Shu could only comfort him softly, "We made an agreement, remember? Go on a trip to City D and come back in a week."

The black tentacles wrapped around Han Shu's waist reluctantly, trying to drag him in, and some tentacles were trying to pull the travel bag off Han Shu's back.

Han Shu was pulled forward and staggered forward, patted the hands wrapped around his waist helplessly, and gently pushed away more black claws that were stretched towards this side. "I'm only going on a trip for a week, and I'll be back soon. Didn't you agree two days ago?"

Han Shu softly comforted and swore to promise, the black tentacles finally let go of his waist, and returned his luggage to him, "Then I'm going out!" Han Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief, You must know that he spent a long time persuading the cohabitants at home every day in the past few days.Unknowingly, his bottom line has receded a lot. Han Shu is also used to being pestered and not allowed to go out every day, and he has also learned how to persuade in a soft voice. To achieve the goal of going out as quickly as possible, unknowingly, his going out has become a goal that can only be achieved by asking for instructions, but he himself somehow feels that there is nothing wrong with this, as if he subconsciously asks Kurosawa for instructions on everything. It is only natural to ask Kurosawa for help when there is a difficulty.What's even more frightening is that Han Shu didn't realize that there was a big problem with such a subconscious mind, and he himself didn't feel any sense of disobedience.

In the wall he couldn't see, a pair of blood-red eyes narrowed, the monster smiled softly, and the distance between them drew another step... Maybe they will be back to the beginning soon...
