Because of the death of Sanqi, Mr. Baohe had to go to meet the legendary painter Bai with an odd personality.Before going out, he specifically asked Mr. Xing some things about Master Bai.Knowing that the Bai Xianggong he met last time was the son of Bai painter, his heart was half relieved.

"The person who can teach such a son must be kind-hearted." Mr. Baohe thought so.However, the moment he met Painter Bai, he suddenly realized how wrong he was.

The person in front of him seemed to have reached the age of destiny, short and thin, and looked like a wicked old man.And for some reason, his lips were red and dazzling, not like an old man, but reminiscent of a beast or something, weird and creepy.

Mr. Baohe calmed down and explained the purpose of his trip to Painter Bai.Originally, he thought that Painter Bai would show a sad and reluctant expression. After all, according to rumors, Sanchi lived with Painter Bai before his foot was injured.Unexpectedly, when Painter Bai heard about Sanqi's death, there was no trace of sadness in his eyes, but it was a pity that he couldn't see the moment when the covered bridge collapsed, and the scene of Sanqi being dragged by the undead.

Mr. Baohe felt a chill down his spine. Although he knew that his trip was to apologize to Liu Zian, he still couldn't help but interjected: "Then you don't need to watch the tragedy... Could it be that Master Bai likes ugly things?"

After finishing speaking, Mr. Baohe secretly slapped his mouth in his heart, feeling that what he said was too rude.Unexpectedly, instead of getting angry after hearing this, Painter Bai grinned his red lips that didn't match his age, and said with a strange smile: "Exactly, how can mediocre people understand the beauty of that ugly thing? "

Mr. Baohe was secretly surprised, but his face remained calm, and he complimented: "Master Bai is really extraordinary, and I admire you." This was originally a polite remark, but Master Bai actually took it seriously, and excitedly said that he observed the beauty of those hideous things I have seen.According to him, there was once an armed conflict between the local rebel army and soldiers not far from the city, and many people died.Others avoided the corpses on the road, but he sat leisurely in front of the corpses, tracing the half-decomposed faces, hands and feet, even the hair.

Mr. Baohe was also a person who had personally experienced the incident at the beginning, so he naturally understood the tragedy, but now that Mr. Bai mentioned it like this, it inevitably brought back some not-so-good memories, and his face looked a little ugly at the moment.

"By the way, tell me about your son, why doesn't he live with you?" Mr. Baohe remembered that someone said that he loved his son very much, so he changed the subject.

Painter Bai heard that Mr. Baohe mentioned his son, a sad look flashed across his face, and he said reluctantly: "The old fox, the city lord, wants to rob my son, what can I do?"

After hearing this, Mr. Baohe couldn't help blaming himself for talking too much, and mentioned other people's pain points.Although he and Master Bai are getting along quite harmoniously at the moment, he is speechless. Since he has achieved the purpose of this trip, it is time to resign now, so he said: "Master Bai, don't worry too much. I had a relationship with your son before. He seems to be in a good state of mind after a few encounters. The city lord brought his son by his side, probably out of love for him, to let the young man experience some experience, and in time, the two of you, father and son, will be reunited... It's getting late now , I won’t bother you too much, and I’ll bring the villain to visit some other day.” After finishing speaking, he got up and saluted.

Painter Bai returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for you. By the way, I would also like to hear about the experience of Lingtu and Sanqi on the covered bridge that night."

Mr. Baohe said with a smile on the surface, "I will definitely not disappoint you", but secretly he slandered Painter Bai for exposing his old wounds.But no matter what, the two of them seemed to have a happy chat this time. Mr. Baohe was afraid of having long nights and dreams, so he decided to bring Liu Zian to the door again early the next morning.

"Sir, what kind of character is that painter Bai, that makes you so nervous." Liu Zian felt that his husband might be thinking too much, isn't he just a painter, what's so great about it.

"It's not nervous, it's cautious...he is indeed a bit abnormal." Mr. Baohe said.After he went back yesterday, he secretly asked everyone about their evaluation of Painter Bai. They were stingy, mean, shameless, conceited, arrogant... In short, there was no good word.

Liu Zian smiled and said, "Sir, what kind of pervert have you never seen before? You can even catch up with such a thing as one body and two souls, why are you afraid of him?"

Mr. Baohe frowned, feeling that Liu Zian's mentality was a bit too relaxed, and he was interrupted when he was about to say a few words: "Okay, I get it. After we get there, don't talk too much, I will do whatever you ask me to do, absolutely Don't act without authorization... You have been nagging since last night, you are obviously not very old, so why are you acting like an old man."

Liu Zian waved his hands impatiently, with a disgusted expression on his face.Mr. Baohe also felt that he seemed a little too nervous, so he laughed at himself and said nothing more.

When they arrived at the Baifu, the master and the apprentice learned that the painter Bai was working in the studio at this time and could not see the guests. They might have to wait a little longer or come back another day.Normally, Liu Zian would definitely not choose to stay and wait, but for some reason, Mr. Baohe insisted on seeing Painter Bai today.As an apprentice, although Liu Zian was somewhat reluctant, he had no choice but to stay.

"Sir, that gaze is still there." Liu Zian whispered to Mr. Baohe after drinking the fifth cup of tea.

"That gaze on the covered bridge... When did you realize that it was following you?" Mr. Baohe asked, thinking that his apprentice must be entangled by something.

"It started from the moment I stepped on the covered bridge... It's okay when I usually have something to do, but once I calm down, I feel that gaze seems to have turned into a solid body, with a strong sense of existence." Liu Zian said, his face pale. Somewhat ugly.

"How about, let's go for a walk in the yard. Maybe it's because the room is too stuffy, which made you hallucinate." Mr. Baohe suggested.Liu Zian nodded, no matter what, as long as he stayed by Mr. Baohe's side, he would always feel extra at ease.However, the two masters and apprentices hadn't gone far from the house when they saw a man who was completely naked and wearing only a coat running over in panic and collided with them head-on...

"What's going on?" Mr. Baohe poured the man a cup of tea and asked.

The man was trembling, and it took a while before he replied: "Master...Master, he is crazy! He is going to kill me!"

Liu Zian held back the overly agitated man, and asked a little strangely: "Who is your master? Why did he want to kill you?"

The man drank two sips of tea, calmed down, and talked about what happened.

This morning, Painter Bai asked him to go to the studio. He thought he was telling him to pack the utensils or clean up, but as soon as he entered the room, Painter Bai told him to take off his clothes.Prior to this, Master Bai often gave the same instructions, and most of his disciples had been his mannequins, so he quickly followed suit.However, after he was stripped naked, Painter Bai frowned again, saying that he wanted to see the man in chains... He was frightened at the time, and he froze on the spot, but Painter Bai didn't show any mercy Seeing that he was dawdling, his expression became irritable, he took out a thin iron chain from nowhere, shook it rattlingly, rushed over to his back, and mercilessly twisted his arms , wrapped around the chain.Then, Painter Bai yanked the end of the iron chain again, he didn't pay attention, staggered, and fell to the ground with a thud.

He said that he looked like a year pig waiting to be slaughtered, his hands and feet were tied up pitifully, and only his head could move.However, Master Bai didn't care. He just looked around his bound body and drew several similar drawings.Of course, it was self-evident how painful he was during this period.

However, if nothing happened, his pain might be prolonged.Fortunately (or unfortunately) after a while, a thin stream of black oil-like stuff snaked from a pot in the corner of the room.At first, the thing seemed sticky and moved slowly, and then gradually slid smoothly.Not long after, the thing gleamed faintly and flowed to the tip of his nose, only then did he realize that it turned out to be a slender black snake.At that time, the blood all over his body was frozen, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth.In fact, the letter of the snake had already touched his neck.The scene was so frightening that even Painter Bai couldn't help being taken aback. He quickly dropped the brush, bent down quickly, grabbed the snake's tail, and lifted the snake upside down.The snake was lifted upside down, raised its head vigorously, and rolled its body upwards, but no matter how hard it tried, it still couldn't touch Master Bai's hand.At that time, he took advantage of Master Bai's entanglement with the snake to break free from the chain, and escaped by rolling and crawling.

"It's a bit perverted...but anyway, he caught the snake and saved your life, didn't he?" Liu Zian tried to comfort the young man in front of him.

The young man sneered, and said: "This is not the first time. Back then, Sanqi's feet were so crippled... That snake was kept in the house by him for sketching."

Liu Zian and Mr. Baohe looked at each other, thinking at the same time that the Bai painter was really not normal.

"Sir... can we go back?" Liu Zian said timidly as he walked on the road.That's right, anyone who knows that the person they are about to face is a complete lunatic will feel fear in his heart.

"Why, didn't you just say that you are not afraid of the sky? If you come, you will be safe. We came today to apologize, and to say goodbye. After today, we can leave this city." Baohe The gentleman was also a little uneasy, but he still pretended to be calm and comforted him softly.

"You two, the room in front is the studio, so I won't go there." The disciple who led the way stopped and pointed to a room not far away.It seemed obvious that he didn't want to get close to it.

"Thank you." Mr. Baohe and Liu Zian expressed their gratitude to the person who led the way, and approached the room according to what he said just now.However, the strange thing was that there were sobs and sobs in that room.Who is crying?The master and apprentice held their breath, and quietly put their bodies against the door.
