"What happened?" The man in blue stopped Cang Ning with one hand, and said softly, "Chen Wei, don't move, I'll go in and take a look first."

"I'll go." Cang Ning put his arm around the rabbit and said with the other hand to push away the blue-clothed man's hand.

"Let's go together." The man in blue turned his head to look at Cang Ning, and quietly took his hand.

"Yeah." Cang Ning nodded and held his hand, "Together."

Cang Ning and the man in blue entered the cave holding hands, only to see soldiers with weapons on both sides of the road back to the cave.In the cave, a man in his 60s and [-]s wearing an official uniform stood with his hands behind his back, as if he was waiting for someone.

"You... who are you?" The little official who asked for the painting had seen it before, but the man in blue had never seen such a grand official come to the cave, and was a little shocked for a while.

"You..." The official pointed at the man in blue, feeling that something was wrong, and then pointing at Cang Ning, feeling even more wrong, and simply asked, "One of you is known as the hand of painting ghosts and gods, the world's leading mural painting Painter, Nanyang Chen Wei?"

"That's right, that's him!" As soon as he heard it, he praised people, and he probably came here to pay a lot of money for painting. The man in blue quickly patted Cang Ning on the shoulder and replied for him, "He can paint anything, and he guarantees you satisfy!"

Cang Ning really wants to say that he can't draw at all...

"Yeah." The official looked at Cang Ning, only to see his clothes were torn torn, with bloody paw prints on his face, and holding a hopping white rabbit in his arms, and nodded with satisfaction, "It looks wild and unruly. , has a good temperament, and really looks like a capable person."

"Hey." The man in blue smiled and gave Cang Ning a push, "Hurry up and thank the lord for your compliment."

"thanks……"

"Yes." The official nodded, "It's really good to be polite. This is what I asked you for, my family member, tell me."

"Yes." A man who looked like a housekeeper stepped forward and said to Cang Ning and the man in blue, "Our master is General Chen, the local Jiedu envoy. Our master only has one daughter, my lady. My lady is 16 years old, unfortunately Got sick and died."

"Alas!" General Chen sighed, and took the words himself, "I want to hang a portrait for my little girl to worship, but it's a pity that my little girl didn't leave a portrait in her life. I heard that Chen Wei and Chen painter are masters of painting, so I came to find Mr. Chen because I wanted to ask him to draw a portrait of the little girl for worship. It’s a matter of money, as long as the painting is done, the official is willing to pay 100 taels of silver as a fee.”

"Wow? There are so many!" The man in blue patted Cang Ning happily and said, "Don't worry, General Chen, Chen Wei's painting skills are superb, it's definitely possible! But I don't know what your lady looks like?"

"My daughter." General Chen stroked his beard and said in a proud tone, "She is the first-class beauty in this city. She is tall and slender, with fair skin, big eyes, and lips like two Cherry. Well, she is really a beauty. Painter Chen, can you draw it?"

I have never seen it before, and the description is so abstract... Don't say that Cang Ning can't draw, even if he can draw, he doesn't know how to start.Cang Ning smiled slightly and asked, "Can you be more specific?"

"Oh." General Chen stroked his beard and nodded, "I'm a warrior, and I don't know how to use those fancy words to describe it. In short, my daughter is beautiful. She has fair skin, a good figure, and a small face. The small one is a bit tall, with big eyes, small nose, but straight, and a small mouth... Anyway, you have never seen my daughter, and you don’t need to have exactly the same eyes, nose, and eyebrows, it’s enough to feel about the same.”

Feeling almost enough, this request is not too much, Cang Ning secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's almost enough to have a seventy-eighth image." General Chen nodded, "It's almost there."

The man in blue almost fell to the ground when he heard it. Even if it was a portrait of a real person, it was not easy. Besides, Chen Wei had never seen his daughter before, all because of the difference he said. Not a big description?This is also called feeling almost enough?

"Painter Chen, are you okay?" General Chen put an ingot of silver on the table, "Here is 50 taels as a deposit, and I will bring someone to pay the balance after you finish the painting. Goodbye."

"General Chen...go slowly." The man in blue saw him off, then turned around and patted Cang Ning on the shoulder, "It's easier to draw ghosts than to draw people, since his daughter is dead, you can just draw whatever you want."

Cang Ning looked at the silver on the table, picked it up casually, and fed it into the mouth of the big white rabbit in his arms.

"Hey, Chen Wei, what are you doing!" The man in blue quickly grabbed the silver and snatched it from the rabbit's mouth, "This is the deposit from General Chen!"

"What can you do with it if you can't eat it?" Cang Ning looked at the stone-like silver and said disgustedly.

"The silver is for use." The man in blue opened Cang Ning's skirt and stuffed the silver inside, "I know you've always been very noble and didn't care about these things, but we still have to live. Put it away, it's useful. "

Cang Ning was noncommittal, holding the rabbit in his arms and said, "Xiao Lan, let's go to the mountains to draw."

"There are tigers in the mountains, you just provoked one." The man in blue said, "It will be troublesome when the whole family comes to us later, I have to prepare something before I can go out to paint."

"Okay, you go now."

Cang Ning probably didn't even know that the blue-clothed man he casually called "Xiao Lan" was actually Lan Chen, and Chen Wei kept calling him "Xiao Lan".

Therefore, being called by Cang Ning so casually, Lan Chen didn't hear anything unusual, took the rabbit in Cang Ning's hand and knocked it down in a bamboo basket, pressed a stone on the bamboo basket, turned around and prepared drawing paper and brushes for him. The paint went, and by the way, he also carried a hatchet on his back.

I don't know the suffering of people and affairs in the mountains, and a painting is a universe.When Cang Ning and Lan Chen painted it, it was evening. In the mountains where the evening wind was blowing, overlooking the lights of thousands of houses, it was like stars shining slightly on the sky.

The west is a touch of orange-red, which gradually turns white, and gradually turns into a light gold, and gradually turns into a dark blue in the sky above the head. The blue is like a gemstone on the seabed, with a few small pearl-like stars hanging on it.

Occasionally, a few mountain birds returning to their nests flew past before them, and went to the bushes in groups chirping.The surrounding mountains, rocks, plants and trees are very peaceful, silently watching the paintbrushes in the hands of Cang Ning and Lan Chen.

The evening clouds in Lanchen's brushwork are light gold with orange and red strokes. It seems that the sun can still shine on the painting paper, and it seems that as long as it jumps out of the painting paper, it can hang in the sky.

"Xiao Lan, your paintings are really beautiful." Cang Ning snatched the drawing paper from Lan Chen's brush with a smile, raised his head to compare with the sunset glow in the western sky, and pointed to the painting that shined through the sunset light. Hua Zhi smiled, "Xiao Lan, you see the clouds are about to fly out."

"Hahaha, when did you learn to praise me." Lan Chen patted Cang Ning on the shoulder and smiled, "My paintings are not half as good as yours. Where are your paintings? Show me."

Cang Ning quickly put down Lan Chen's painting and held up his own painting in front of him.

Seeing the painting in Cang Ning's hands, Lan Chen's eyes were wide open, her chin almost fell to the ground, she quickly reached out to help her chin, and stammered, "Chen...Chen Wei, this, is this really true?" Did you draw it?"

"En." Cang Ning nodded.

"Oh my god, what a painting, what a painting!" Lan Chen kept nodding her head, praising her, "Only you, Chen Wei, can draw such fantastic paintings!"

Cang Ning turned the painting around, and looked at the black-and-white person drawn on the white paper, because he couldn't even tell the position of the eyebrows and eyes when he was drawing, so he simply painted all the black hair and changed the back.The man in black with his back to the drawing paper is holding a long sword as black as coal. little stars.

It's not bad, and Cang Ning himself thinks it's not bad, at least this back looks like Brother Yan.

"Chen Wei, the back figure you drew..." Lan Chen rubbed her hands, shrinking her neck shyly, and smiled embarrassedly, "Is it me..."

"You drew me so handsomely..." Lan Chen scratched her head with a rare shy look.

"No." Cang Ning folded the drawing paper, casually picked up the wild fruit that Lan Chen picked for lunch at noon, took a bite, walked two steps and sat on the stone steps of the mountain road, "Little Lan, is there anyone you really want to draw?"

"Me." Lan Chen scratched her head, picked a fruit and rubbed it on her palm, went to the steps and sat down next to Cang Ning, and took a bite of the fruit in her hand, "I always wanted to draw something, but Now my ability is limited, and I still can’t draw it.”

"Oh? What is it?" Cang Ning asked with a smile, "Can I eat it?"

"Hahaha, you can eat anything!" Lan Chen poked Cang Ning's face and said with a smile, "If you can eat it, then you are capable."

"I can eat anything." Cang Ning smiled, "Tell me what that is?"

"That..." Lan Chen rested her cheeks in one hand, and looked into the distance, as if recalling an event many years ago, "Then let's talk about an event when I was very young. It was a distant Here is far, far away, by the sea, that was the first time I saw the sea, and the only time..."

"Beach?" Cang Ning remembered that the only time he went to the beach was when he was dragged there by the elder brother in Tsing Yi, and blinked, "I've only been there once."

"Guess what I met at the beach?" Lan Chen was suddenly a little excited, pushing Cang Ning's arm mysteriously.

"What?" Cang Ning thought for a while while resting his chin, then tilted his head and asked, "The sun? The stars?"

"What kind of mess are you talking about?" Lan Chen said, "How can the sun and stars grow in the sea?"

"Don't the stars and the sun grow out of the sea?" Cang Ning asked with a smile, "Then what strange things did you see?"

"Hey, if I say it, you must think it's not real. I suspect that I'm dreaming." Lan Chen held the half-bitten fruit in both hands and rubbed it between his fingers, "It's like a dream. What should I do? How about describing it? Eh, I can’t describe it... I don’t know how to describe it, so I want to draw it with my own painting, but after so many years, I still don’t have enough ability to draw that feeling.”

"What exactly is it?" Cang Ning asked angrily, "I didn't understand?"
