The Story of the Male Supporting Counterattack
Chapter 20 Guarding Love
Is it Brother Yin's?
A pale and lifeless face suddenly came into view, and the smile on his lips was as evil as ever, as it had happened countless times before, and he called him in a low voice: "Asu, come here."
"—Ah!" Bai Su finally broke down, screaming and sitting up, sweating all over his forehead.
"Young Master, what's the matter with you?" Uncle Cheng's worried voice sounded outside the door. After waiting for a while, he didn't hear Bai Su's voice. His face turned pale with shock: "Master, what's wrong with you, why is your complexion so bad, are you having a nightmare?"
Bai Su was obviously in a trance, and looked at him blankly: "Uncle Cheng, who carried me up last night?"
Uncle Cheng was shocked, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, "Young master, you drank alcohol last night and went upstairs by yourself drunk. I was worried that you would help you, but the young master kept saying no, and asked me to make almond milk tea for you." You drink, the young master has forgotten?"
Bai Su's hand hidden under the quilt trembled, and he supported his forehead with one hand to hide his expression: "Oh, I probably remembered wrongly, okay, you have nothing to do first, I have a headache, I want to sleep a little longer."
Uncle Cheng nodded and left worriedly.
It wasn't until the sound of Uncle Cheng's footsteps disappeared downstairs that Bai Su opened his eyes again, got up frightened and looked in the mirror, looked left and right, there seemed to be nothing unusual except a little sluggishness, but what happened last night?That cold touch, that terrifying and eerie atmosphere, how could it be a dream?How could a dream be so real.
Moreover, he actually doesn't like almond milk tea very much, and finds it a bit greasy, so he never asks his servants to make it.On the other hand, senior brother Yin Jue, because he is from the south, likes these sweets very much. Almond milk tea is his favorite and the only food he knows how to cook. He used to make it himself for Bai Su to drink.
Seeing Yin Jue's kindness, Bai Su didn't like it, but he didn't dislike it too much. It's okay to drink a few cups once in a while, so he never refused. In the end, Yin Jue actually made almond milk tea more frequently because he really liked it. , Bai Su couldn't stand it at first, but Yin Jue was almost terminally ill at that time, and he looked as thin as a stick, so how could Bai Su have the heart to say it out, so he kept hiding this matter like this.
The seventh pair of eyes ([-])
Because of lack of energy, Bai Su stayed at home all day long, and when he had something on his mind, he seemed listless, which made Uncle Cheng very worried, and even said that he wanted to ask a doctor to come and see him, but Bai Su discouraged him.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, someone knocked on the door, saying they were looking for Bai Su.
Bai Su heard the noise and walked down. The two men who came to look for him were wearing khaki overalls, they looked very strange. Bai Su confirmed that he had never seen these two people before, and asked, "Who are you two?"
One of the men with a square face glanced at Bai Su, then looked down at what he was holding in his hand, and raised his head with a smile: "You are Mr. Bai Su, right? We are from the frame shop, and we are here to give you a painting." .”
A painting?Bai Su's heart moved, could this be the one that Xiaojiao said would be delivered to her door?He took the pen and paper and signed the form, and asked curiously, "What's the name of your store, and what's the matter with this painting?"
Guozilian said with a smile: "Our shop is located on the outskirts of the commercial street. The name is Li's Framed Shop. As for this painting, a customer sent it to us for mounting a few days ago. The address he left is here. Tell me to deliver it to a boy named Bai Su."
While talking, he beckoned his companions to go out to carry things. Although the oil painting is relatively large, it is not heavy, and it is good to be careful not to touch the corners, so it was quickly carried to the studio.
The oil painting was covered with a white cloth, so I couldn't see what it was actually painted on, but Bai Su was also a person who was proficient in this way, and he knew that the paint was valuable at a sniff, but the smell was faintly mixed with The other smells were somewhat familiar, Bai Su couldn't think of where he had smelled them before, and couldn't help staring at them twice out of curiosity.
The two workers carefully put the oil painting away and were about to leave. Bai Su stopped them, "May I ask the name of the customer who sent this painting to your store, can you still remember?"
Guo Zilian scratched his chin, frowned and thought for a while: "The guest was mysterious and never showed up. The person who sent the painting was the person from the moving company, and the money was also transferred online, but I have received a call from that guest , the voice is very nice, oh, yes, I remembered, I remember that the boss seemed to call him Mr. Yin."
Mr. Yin? !Bai Su's pupils constricted violently, he was very shocked, and for some reason suddenly remembered the scene a few days ago.
It was the day before Yin Jue's death. He received a call from the other party, saying that he hadn't seen him for a few days and that he missed him a little. Yin Jue's voice was weak and weak, mixed with a few coughs from time to time. Bai Su's heart immediately softened when he heard it. Come down, hang up the phone and run away immediately.
Thinking back carefully now, there seems to be something wrong with Yin Jue's expression that day. His personality has always been deserted, and he seems to often smile. But he seemed very happy and excited. When he saw Bai Su, he offered to make almond milk tea for him. At that time, Bai Su only thought that his condition had improved, but he didn't think much about it when he was happy.
It was obviously not like this before, since Yin Jue's condition worsened and his body became thinner and thinner, the smile on his face gradually decreased, and he often sat silently, not knowing what he was thinking, and the aura around him was gloomy and cold, making people uncomfortable. He dared to come within three feet of him at will, and only when he saw Bai Su would the ice on his body melt a little bit, revealing some freshness.But Bai Su carefully found that Yin Jue was very sad every time he faced him, the eyes that stared at him were painful and desperate, his slender eyebrows were tightly knit together, hesitant and tangled, but very careful The moment Bai Su looked over, he quickly restrained his expression, and continued joking as if nothing had happened.
Moreover, once Bai Su accidentally left something behind and went back, just in time to see Yin Jue holding his head tightly with dead wood-like hands through the crack of the door, with a low wailing and roaring from his lips, over and over again. Asking why, he was destined not to get an answer, because no one knew what he was asking.Er Er Yin Jue stood up with bloodshot eyes, and angrily swept the large and small medicine bottles on the coffee table to the ground, like a wounded beast, on the verge of death, powerless to change his own destiny.
"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai?" The worker with a square face called Bai Su tentatively, and looked at him worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Ah, it's nothing." Bai Su quickly recovered, "Do you still remember when that gentleman delivered the painting to your store and what he said?"
"Well, wait a minute." Guozilian took out a palm-sized booklet from his trouser pocket, flipped through a few pages, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Ah, I found it, Mr. Yin delivered the things on April 4th." It came here, except for telling us to be careful and get it ready for you as soon as possible, I didn’t say anything else.”
April 4th?Bai Su frowned in thought. He received a call from Yin Jue on April 25, and then went to visit him. The next day was the date of Yin Jue's death. So this painting was delivered two days before his death. To the framing shop?Is it because of this that Yin Jue was in a good mood that day?Thinking like this, he felt so heavy that he couldn't tell what it was like, but he couldn't be happy anyway.
This oil painting is very large, about five meters long and three meters high. It was placed against the wall. For a moment, Bai Su wondered if it was done by Yin Jue. After all, everyone knew that Yin Jue was out of energy. Because of this, he seldom draws huge oil paintings.
The white cloth covering the oil painting was dazzlingly white, which made Bai Su have some bad associations. He walked to the oil painting, took a lot of effort to remove the white cloth, and then took two steps back to examine it carefully.
The moment he saw the content of the oil painting clearly, Bai Su couldn't help exclaiming, his phoenix eyes widened, staring at the oil painting without blinking, there seemed to be a sudden thunder in his mind, he was so shocked that he couldn't react for a while, and his mind went blank .
At a glance, the most attractive thing in the oil painting is the young man in the center. He is wearing a navy blue casual suit, a pure white shirt inside, and a vintage pure black bow tie around his neck. His jet-black pupils were shining brightly, like stars in the middle of the night. His eyes were staring straight ahead. There was a sense of arrogance and confidence in his eyes, as well as some traces of affection that could not be hidden. It only stretches forward, like a prince waiting for the arrival of his lover, elegant and noble, full of indescribable magical power.
Bai Su has always known that Yin Jue is very talented in painting, but he didn't know that the other party's talent is so high, the young people in the paintings are drawn so lifelike, it seems as if they will come to life in the next second, and the most exquisite What's more special is those eyes, I don't know what kind of technique he used to draw them, they are as black as ink and full of brilliance, no matter from which angle you look at it, you will have the illusion that he is watching you, what an exquisite skill!
It is conceivable that the moment Bai Su saw the portrait, what kind of shock his spirit received, so that he subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, as if if he didn't do this, he would immediately scream out of composure come out.
It took several minutes before Bai Su came back to his senses, and stopped looking at Yin Jue in the painting. He let out a breath slowly, trying to avoid being attracted by "Yin Jue", and set his eyes on the oil painting. In other places, it is only then that the overall layout of the picture can be seen clearly.
Yin Jue used to use cool and dark tones when painting, and this painting is no exception.At the top of the picture is the gray sky, and a dilapidated Gothic church can be seen vaguely under the layers of cloud on the left. The sharp dome soars into the clouds, looming under the mist.Large pieces of dead branches are messy and intertwined, the young man is facing the decadent scene, surrounded by burning clouds like dense flowers of the other side, extremely enchanting, shocking, half as cold as death, half as hot as fire, it is obviously a very contradictory scene, but it is captured by its ingenious into the same painting.
However, the most eye-catching among them is still the youth in the painting.
Watching and watching, Bai Su's eyes gradually showed obsession, his body took two steps forward uncontrollably, only the affectionate eyes of the young man in the painting remained in his mind, and his vague expectations Hope, in a trance, Bai Su stretched out his hand, and slowly handed it to "Yin Jue".
At this moment, the coldness and arrogance in the person's eyebrows and eyes in the painting seem to have disappeared, leaving only warmth and concern in his eyes, and he looks back at Bai Su encouragingly, with a hint of urging.
As the distance got closer, Bai Su's consciousness became more and more blurred, and his whole body had to stick to the painting. When his fingertips touched the outstretched fingers of the young man in the painting, the touch felt slightly cold, probably because of hallucinations in a trance, Bai Su Unexpectedly, a trace of joy that did not come from nowhere quickly passed through the eyes of the portrait.
At this moment, a "ding" suddenly sounded in Bai Su's mind, and a system prompt appeared: "The mission target has appeared, please complete the mission as soon as possible!"
In an instant, all the layers of thick fog in Bai Su's eyes dissipated, and he quickly withdrew his hand. Thinking of his stupid behavior just now, his face almost turned red, thinking that he didn't have this habit before. I don't even think it's okay to be tired of being with my senior brother, but now I'm crazy about a portrait?
However, since the system has given a prompt, it means that the mission Xiaojiao mentioned is hidden here. Bai Su quickly glanced at the oil painting again, and couldn't help frowning. He thought the mission this time was very simple, but now it seems But it is not the case. A person has a pair of eyes. This is common sense that all children know. No matter how you look at it, there is only one person in this oil painting. Where did the seventh pair of eyes come from?
Are there other people hidden in the painting?This is not Bai Su's whimsy. Many people who study painting know that some artists with ingenious ideas like to use special techniques in the process of painting to hide things, such as hiding a complete thing in a place where the light and shade are obviously different. In several places, using the human eye's habit of distinguishing light and dark colors, something is cut to temporarily deceive the viewer.
Another example is to use the lines, colors, and shapes of the objects in the painting to hide the painting within the painting. In this case, the viewer can only see what is hidden inside the painting only from a specific angle.
In addition, some other special pigments are used to paint on top of the already painted works. This kind of invisible painting often needs to be revealed under certain conditions.
After going through the several techniques that the teacher said in the past, Bai Su gradually got the spectrum in his mind. You have to try these methods one by one to know the answer.
The cell phone rang suddenly in the quiet studio, Bai Su took out the cell phone and glanced at it, connected it, and when he heard what was said there, he immediately showed a joyful smile.
"...Really?...Ah, ok, ok, now? No problem, I'll go right away."
After putting away the mobile phone, Bai Su covered the oil painting with a white cloth, walked out quickly with a bright smile.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and a wind suddenly blew up in the studio with the doors and windows closed. The white cloth was billowed and fluttered, revealing a pair of evil eyes in the oil painting below.
The seventh pair of eyes ([-])
Cold drink shop on the street.
Biting the straw, Bai Su joked with a smile, "I really didn't expect that you would be willing to come back. I thought you planned to take root in the US Emperor for the rest of your life."
The young man on the opposite side laughed softly when he heard the words. He was wearing a British-style cotton shirt, light coffee-colored slacks, handsome facial features, and warm eyebrows when he smiled: "Asu came to tease me again, no matter how good it is over there, it's not as good as my hometown. What's more, since you're back, what am I going to do here?" He blinked his eyes and gave Bai Su a childish look.
Bai Su laughed: "Don't make it sound like you came here because of me, otherwise Grandpa Wen will definitely be jealous."
After hearing this, Wen Shumo also laughed, the sun cast a layer of soft light on his gentle eyebrows and eyes, and the whole person looked like a young man in a bad world who came out of an ink painting, with a charming temperament, "Why not, A Su and I have a book and a painting, isn't it a perfect match?"
Wen Shumo came from a scholarly family. His grandfather studied a lot in calligraphy and painting. Wen Shumo was with him since he was a child.
I didn't expect that Wen Shumo, who had a very strict tutor, could say such words. Bai Su smiled with crooked eyebrows, sweeping away the gloom of the past few days, "I really think, but it's a pity, what I learned from Teacher Xu is oil painting. If Combined with your calligraphy, the effect may be difficult for people to see directly."
"That's not necessarily true." Wen Shumo narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Bai Su meaningfully, "Maybe there will be unexpected effects." He stretched out his hand to hold Bai Su's palm, and gently stroked it twice , the lowered eyebrows contained endless tenderness, "I went to Paris with my classmates a few days ago, and got a pair of beautiful men's rings there. I think it suits you very well. Will Asu want it?"
Things suddenly developed in a direction that Bai Su had never imagined, and he exclaimed in his heart, what the hell, this probably didn't mean what I understood, maybe it was just Wen Shumo's language problem...Your sister!
How did you talk and kissed it? Fall!
Wen Shumo leaned over, imprinted a kiss on the back of Bai Su's hand reverently, and said softly, "A Su, do you understand what I mean?"
The corner of Bai Su's mouth twitched, and he tentatively pulled his fingers out, but found that the other party's movements seemed gentle, but his strength was not weak. He smiled awkwardly, and after a long time he said seriously: "Almost a month has passed since April Fool's Day. .”
This is to escape, Wen Shumo sighed helplessly in his heart. At the beginning, he settled abroad with his parents, and met Bai Su through the business contacts between the two families. He had a good impression of this clean and well-behaved boy when he first met, and later became more I often go to find Bai Su with excuses, and always like to take him with me when I go out to play, but it is a pity that I am young and ignorant, and recklessly define that youthful emotion as brotherhood. After Bai Su returns to China, he seems to have lost Like the backbone, after a few months in a trance, I had to face up to my heart.After seeing his feelings for Bai Su clearly, he spent some time dealing with trivial matters, and then hurried over, but he didn't want to confess his true feelings to the other party who would not accept it at all.
"Don't change the subject, Asu, I know you understand." Wen Shumo knew that he couldn't be too tight, so he let go of his hand reluctantly, and took out a small brocade box from his pocket, "This is me leaving I found it in many places, and I'm waiting for you to pick it up."
Opening the brocade box, Bai Su looked over subconsciously. The ring had soft lines, showing a simple and elegant silver-white color, only dotted with crystal clear gemstones in the middle. Bai Su took a few serious glances, and then moved his eyes to Wen Shumo's hand. Only then did I realize that the two men's rings look like the same style.
The two have known each other for a long time, and Bai Su naturally knew that Wen Shumo was not a frivolous person who would joke about such things, but he just treated Wen Shumo as a friend and never thought of anything else. At that moment, the phone rang, and he said sorry, and picked up the phone, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The call came from the police station, saying that there was new progress in the theft of Yin Jue's body, and I wanted to trouble him to go there.The phone call happened so coincidentally that it was like saving himself from the fire and water. Bai Su was glad that he had an excuse to leave, and quickly said no trouble or no trouble.
After answering the phone, he raised his head, met Shang Wen Shumo's disappointment mixed with funny eyes, and said teasingly: "Do you feel like you have escaped from the sky? I guess, even if it is your enemy who is calling at this time, Asu will Are you grateful?"
Bai Su also realized that his actions just now were too hurtful, and looked at him extremely apologetically: "Brother Wen, I don't want to lie to you, I have no affection for you, I only treat you as a relative." He saw Wen Shumo's smile gradually faded away. Xiao Xiao felt uncomfortable, but the long-term pain of this kind of thing is worse than the short-term pain, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will end. After figuring this out, Bai Su was determined not to look at his face, stood up and said: "Brother Wen, I still have to wait." Let’s leave first, let’s meet again another day.”
Before leaving, Bai Su couldn't help but bowed, said sorry, turned around and slipped away like a rabbit, but Wen Shumo, who was depressed, couldn't laugh or cry. It was gradually getting better, thinking that since I am still a child, it is common to change my mind from time to time, maybe I will agree to it in the future, and sincerity is as good as gold and stone, there is always a chance.
Here, Bai Su ran out in a hurry, and after a short delay, he immediately became embarrassed, why did he bow so gracefully, it was just too embarrassing, he patted his slightly hot face, got in a taxi and went straight to the police station.
The people who received Bai Su were Officer Zhou and Officer Li whom I had met last time. Bai Su didn't know their names until after the fact. As soon as they met, he hurriedly asked, "You two officers, what do you mean by saying things have progressed? But have you found my brother?"
Zhou Hong poured a glass of water and handed it to him, and said with a smile, "You are too impatient."
Bai Su got up to take the water, and said helplessly, "The temperature is getting higher day by day, if you can't find senior brother again, it will be a disaster..."
Li Wei smiled and expressed his understanding, "Analyzed by technicians, the surveillance video of that night was indeed tampered with, and it can be confirmed that it was man-made theft. We came to you this time to ask you, did Mr. Yin Jue ever If we have a grudge with someone, we can carry out further investigations if we have a scope."
Sure enough, someone is playing tricks!Bai Su heaved a sigh of relief, someone involved will definitely leave traces, now that technology is so advanced, they can always be found, as long as it is not...
However, grudges?Bai Su frowned and thought for a while, but still got nothing, "My senior brother is rather aloof, and because of his poor health, he is bored at home all day long, and rarely contacts anyone. How could he have grudges with others?"
The two police officers looked at each other, and Zhou Hong induced again: "Think about it carefully, and don't let go of any details. Maybe the clues you provide can help us solve the case. You also know that the weather is hot now, and the sooner you find it, the better." Okay. Besides, I remember you said that Yin Jue is a painter, and his talent is very high. It is not surprising that people who are interested in art are more extreme, so no one feels jealous?"
Bai Su thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly: "The people in the Academy of Fine Arts do seem to have some unreasonable eccentricities, but their natures are not bad. Senior brother and them are just petty quarrels, no matter what, they will not vent their grievances by desecrating corpses." What's more, those people are weak scholars in essence, and they are timid."
That's true, Zhou Hong frowned after hearing this, could there be no other clues?The two chatted with Bai Su for a few more words, and after making sure that there was nothing suspicious, they let him go, and turned their attention back to the funeral parlor.
After returning home, Bai Su went to the study to look at the oil paintings, thinking about how to find the hidden eyes so as not to damage the oil paintings, and then made a list, intending to purchase some things that might come in handy.
In the next few days, Bai Su was busy with this matter, and there was no movement from the police station, but Wen Shumo would call every day, or ask him out for dinner, or ask him to gather together for some reason, but Bai Su politely declined.
After a few days like this, Bai Su's decryption game has not made any progress.
That afternoon, Bai Su went out to look for food and was walking on the bustling street when suddenly someone stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, and said with a smile: "My benefactor, I see that your seal is dark and your complexion is gray, which may have a bad omen." ah!"
The sense of time travel in this sentence is too strong, Bai Su wondered for a moment whether he had broken into someone else's camera, glanced left and right, but did not see anything resembling a camera, so he raised his arm, wanting to pull He returned his sleeves, rolled his eyes unceremoniously after repeated attempts and failed, bared his teeth at him, and threatened: "Let go, or I will bite you."
The other party laughed aloud: "Yo, the teeth are not bad, you should not get tooth decay."
Bai Su raised his eyes to look at him, the man in front of him was about [-] years old, with a round and square face, a pair of big and round eyes, black and bright, especially agile, with a smile on his lips, and two white and tender cheeks. With a small dimple, a very sunny and handsome appearance, and a refreshing voice, he looks like an ordinary college student.It's just that his clothes are extremely inappropriate. His upper body is an indigo robe, and the sleeves and neckline are obviously a little off. A small piece of light blue jeans is exposed at the hem of the robe, and he wears slightly yellowed white sneakers on his feet.
Seeing that Bai Su kept looking at him, the little Taoist grinned, showing his white teeth, and said very sharply, "Hey, let me tell you, the benefactor is a fortune teller, it's not me, don't think I'm young , but the hexagrams are very accurate, others call me Lu Banxian, there is a saying that is Yin Yang and Five Elements, ten hexagrams and nine spirits." Speaking of this, he pouted his mouth and motioned Bai Su to look at the banner beside him.
Bai Su followed his line of sight subconsciously, and saw three elegant bold characters written on the white Taoist banner, which were exactly the three characters of Lu Banxian.The corners of Bai Su's mouth twitched, and he stared at the young man who called himself Lu Banxian for a long time with the eyes of a snake spirit, thinking, how old is it that there are still people wearing Taoist robes?Could it be that the wall of a nearby mental hospital has collapsed?
He withdrew his hand helplessly, and tentatively asked, "What ward do you live in?"
This time, the corner of Lu Banxian's mouth twitched. He stretched out his hand and stroked his chin, restrained his expression and pretended to be a cold fairy: "Stupid mortal, you dare to offend this Banxian like this, you will definitely regret it."
Bai Su was not in the mood to tangle with him, so he said helplessly: "Okay, I regret it, I regret it." She took out her mobile phone and planned to dial.
Lu Banxian was annoyed: "I told you, I'm not crazy, forget it, believe it or not, you don't know it because you are full of Yin Qi, wait until you cry in the future." He snorted arrogantly, turned and left After a few steps, he stood on the spot and looked around for a few minutes. After finding the next target, Lu Banxian pounced on it excitedly, "Benefactor, your seal is dark, there may be a bad omen!"
It's a pity that the other party ignored him at all, scolded him for being crazy, pulled out his sleeves and left, patting his clothes as he walked, as if he was stained with something dirty, several times in a row.
Bai Su felt that he might have lost his mind, so he didn't turn around and leave. He stood here and watched how that little magic stick bluffed people. The note walked over, "Lu Banxian, how much is it?"
The seventh pair of eyes (seven)
Picking up a peanut and throwing it into his mouth, Bai Su looked at the young man opposite him who was eating and drinking, and was speechless for a while, "I said, Lu Banxian, didn't you agree to make a fortune for me?"
Lu Banxian was gnawing on the chicken wings, waving his oily paws, and said without raising his head, "What's the hurry, you won't die, and you can do things when you're full."
Bai Su rolled his eyes exaggeratedly, thinking that he was really stupid to believe what a charlatan said, forget it, just think of it as spending money to find someone to eat with him.After figuring this out, Bai Su no longer struggled, and simply let go of eating, chatting with Lu Banxian from time to time, and the two who came and went quickly became acquainted.
It can be seen that this Lu Banxian himself is not a deep-rooted person, and his family does not seem to be very rich, so it may be helpless to come out to fortune-telling.
After eating and drinking, Lu Banxian patted his round stomach contentedly, and sighed comfortably: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so full." Looking up and seeing Bai Su, he returned to his hippie smile, "Look at you please For the sake of my meal, I will give you a divination." Then he stood up and signaled Bai Su to follow.
The two of them washed their hands before returning to the private room. Lu Banxian lowered his head and took out a worn blue cloth bag from the inner pocket of his shirt. After opening it, six simple and elegant copper coins were revealed. He pushed the copper coins in front of Bai Su, restraining the expression of laughter on his face. , with a serious tone: "Close the copper coins in the palm of your hand, close your hands, close your eyes, and concentrate on thinking about what you want to calculate. Remember, you must get rid of distracting thoughts and ask the hexagram sincerely!"
Seeing him like this, Bai Su put away his joking thoughts, and picked up the copper coin seriously. The copper coin did not know where it came from, and it seemed to be a few years old. It felt cool to the touch and had a rough texture.
Bai Su put the copper coins in the palm of his hand as Lu Banxian said, closed his eyes and meditated, and after about a minute, he randomly scattered the copper coins on the table where the dishes had been removed. He opened his eyes impatiently, looked down at the copper coins, and saw them Scattered haphazardly, unable to make sense of it for a while, he asked Lu Banxian, "What's the meaning of this?"
Lu Banxian narrowed his big and round eyes, pressed the middle and middle fingers of his left hand on the copper coins, moved them one by one in front of him, arranged them neatly, looked at them carefully for a long while, and said, "Di Lei Fu Gua."
Bai Su was puzzled: "Why?"
Lu Banxian recited a few hexagrams in a similar manner: "If this hexagram is not in harmony, you will be worried and indecisive. The benefactor turns into resentment instead of righteousness, and troubles arise from right and wrong." Seeing that Bai Su was still in a daze Looking at it, he asked, "What was in your mind when you did the divination just now?"
Bai Su hesitated for a while, and replied hesitantly: "Looking for something."
Lu Banxian nodded, and then kindly explained a few more words, "The hexagram is simple to say that you can't find people, you can't be sure, and you will be at peace when you change the festival and the moon."
"Looking for someone? So you can't find them." Although we know that this matter can't be done properly, since we forget it, everyone wants to get a satisfactory answer, and Bai Su is no exception. Sad look.
Lu Banxian raised his eyebrows, he put the copper money back into the cloth bag, smiled at Bai Su ruffianly, and became the young man with a bright smile and nonsense again, "Hey, I said, are you looking for a person or a thing?"
Bai Su frowned, sighed, and said in a sad tone, "It used to be a person, but now it's a thing."
"What do you mean? What did you lose?"
Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Su got up and was about to leave, and explained lightly: "A corpse was lost." After saying this, even Lu Banxian, who claimed to know everything, was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face changed several times , faintly murmured: "No wonder... this time, it's really troublesome..."
Seeing that Bai Su had gone out, he hurriedly chased after him and said: "Hey, I said you can leave as soon as you say, and you haven't finished explaining the hexagrams yet. Let me tell you, you have something to do recently, and you can do things in the future." Be careful, but you should be fine as long as you last for more than a month, remember!" After speaking, without waiting for Bai Su's answer, he walked away holding the banner.
When he got home, it was already very late, Bai Su saw the lights on in the living room, his heart warmed up, he changed his shoes and went in, he raised his voice slightly and shouted towards the kitchen: "Uncle Cheng, is that you, why are you still here?" Do not sleep?"
A familiar sound came from the kitchen. Uncle Cheng came over in home clothes, holding a cup of something, and said with a smile on his lips, "I see that the young master hasn't come back so late, and I'm worried that you're drinking again, so I made you a cup of almond milk tea. Drink it quickly, it's good for your health."
Hearing the word almond milk tea, Bai Su's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he suddenly felt an irresistible sadness. This emotion came out of nowhere. He looked at the milk tea in front of him, sighed, and said helplessly, "Cheng Uncle, I've eaten outside, but I can't drink now."
"Really?" Uncle Cheng looked at Bai Su fixedly, with obvious disappointment on his face, "I heard from Mr. Yin before that the young master likes to drink almond milk tea very much. I learned it on purpose. It turns out that the young master doesn't like it." By the last sentence, the voice had become inaudible.
Bai Su was originally wondering why Uncle Cheng could make this kind of milk tea all of a sudden, these words just answered the doubts in his heart, and thinking about Uncle Cheng working hard for himself in his old age, he felt so guilty and softened his attitude, " Well, Uncle Cheng, don't be sad, I'll drink it right away." He picked it up and drank it in one gulp, and let him look at the cup specially, and said with a smile: "That's all right."
Uncle Cheng showed a satisfied smile, "Master is so good."
Uncle Cheng didn't say this before, but every time Bai Su obediently finished his practice work, Yin Jue would rub his hair and give him a compliment like this, so after hearing this, Bai Su's face was full of tears. His expression froze slightly, he raised his head and said goodnight to Uncle Cheng, turned around and walked upstairs, thinking absently as he walked, that something seemed wrong with Uncle Cheng's expression just now, and he couldn't tell what was wrong when he tried to explain why. So when I came here, I comforted myself and said that I must have read it wrong.
Downstairs, Uncle Cheng watched Bai Su go upstairs with a cup in his hand, his wrinkled and vicissitudes face was half hidden in the darkness, people could only see his tightly pressed lips.
After a while, Uncle Cheng smiled with a wicked expression on his face.
Regarding what Lu Banxian said that night, Bai Su didn't take it seriously at first, he was still immersed in his puzzle-solving game, until reality gave him another blow.
The paintbrush fell to the ground with a bang, and the red paint stained the carpet red, which was shocking, but Bai Su, who had always cherished this white wool carpet, couldn't care less about it. He held the phone with a trembling voice, and asked incoherently: " You...you made a mistake, I don't believe...how could he..."
The girl on the opposite side was probably used to such things, her voice was still cold and calm, without any emotion, "I'm sorry sir, the hospital will never joke about such things, we contacted you through that gentleman's mobile phone , he only has your number in his mobile phone, but because the scene of the car accident is quite messy, no relevant documents were found, anyway, please come here as soon as possible."
Bai Su hung up the phone with a pale face, grabbed his wallet and went out, hurriedly came to a certain operating room of the hospital, there was already a nurse waiting there, holding a new mobile phone in his hand, when he saw Bai Su, he rushed forward , "Are you Asu?"
Bai Su subconsciously looked at the mobile phone held by the nurse, it was the one he had just seen in Wen Shumo's hand a few days ago
A pale and lifeless face suddenly came into view, and the smile on his lips was as evil as ever, as it had happened countless times before, and he called him in a low voice: "Asu, come here."
"—Ah!" Bai Su finally broke down, screaming and sitting up, sweating all over his forehead.
"Young Master, what's the matter with you?" Uncle Cheng's worried voice sounded outside the door. After waiting for a while, he didn't hear Bai Su's voice. His face turned pale with shock: "Master, what's wrong with you, why is your complexion so bad, are you having a nightmare?"
Bai Su was obviously in a trance, and looked at him blankly: "Uncle Cheng, who carried me up last night?"
Uncle Cheng was shocked, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, "Young master, you drank alcohol last night and went upstairs by yourself drunk. I was worried that you would help you, but the young master kept saying no, and asked me to make almond milk tea for you." You drink, the young master has forgotten?"
Bai Su's hand hidden under the quilt trembled, and he supported his forehead with one hand to hide his expression: "Oh, I probably remembered wrongly, okay, you have nothing to do first, I have a headache, I want to sleep a little longer."
Uncle Cheng nodded and left worriedly.
It wasn't until the sound of Uncle Cheng's footsteps disappeared downstairs that Bai Su opened his eyes again, got up frightened and looked in the mirror, looked left and right, there seemed to be nothing unusual except a little sluggishness, but what happened last night?That cold touch, that terrifying and eerie atmosphere, how could it be a dream?How could a dream be so real.
Moreover, he actually doesn't like almond milk tea very much, and finds it a bit greasy, so he never asks his servants to make it.On the other hand, senior brother Yin Jue, because he is from the south, likes these sweets very much. Almond milk tea is his favorite and the only food he knows how to cook. He used to make it himself for Bai Su to drink.
Seeing Yin Jue's kindness, Bai Su didn't like it, but he didn't dislike it too much. It's okay to drink a few cups once in a while, so he never refused. In the end, Yin Jue actually made almond milk tea more frequently because he really liked it. , Bai Su couldn't stand it at first, but Yin Jue was almost terminally ill at that time, and he looked as thin as a stick, so how could Bai Su have the heart to say it out, so he kept hiding this matter like this.
The seventh pair of eyes ([-])
Because of lack of energy, Bai Su stayed at home all day long, and when he had something on his mind, he seemed listless, which made Uncle Cheng very worried, and even said that he wanted to ask a doctor to come and see him, but Bai Su discouraged him.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, someone knocked on the door, saying they were looking for Bai Su.
Bai Su heard the noise and walked down. The two men who came to look for him were wearing khaki overalls, they looked very strange. Bai Su confirmed that he had never seen these two people before, and asked, "Who are you two?"
One of the men with a square face glanced at Bai Su, then looked down at what he was holding in his hand, and raised his head with a smile: "You are Mr. Bai Su, right? We are from the frame shop, and we are here to give you a painting." .”
A painting?Bai Su's heart moved, could this be the one that Xiaojiao said would be delivered to her door?He took the pen and paper and signed the form, and asked curiously, "What's the name of your store, and what's the matter with this painting?"
Guozilian said with a smile: "Our shop is located on the outskirts of the commercial street. The name is Li's Framed Shop. As for this painting, a customer sent it to us for mounting a few days ago. The address he left is here. Tell me to deliver it to a boy named Bai Su."
While talking, he beckoned his companions to go out to carry things. Although the oil painting is relatively large, it is not heavy, and it is good to be careful not to touch the corners, so it was quickly carried to the studio.
The oil painting was covered with a white cloth, so I couldn't see what it was actually painted on, but Bai Su was also a person who was proficient in this way, and he knew that the paint was valuable at a sniff, but the smell was faintly mixed with The other smells were somewhat familiar, Bai Su couldn't think of where he had smelled them before, and couldn't help staring at them twice out of curiosity.
The two workers carefully put the oil painting away and were about to leave. Bai Su stopped them, "May I ask the name of the customer who sent this painting to your store, can you still remember?"
Guo Zilian scratched his chin, frowned and thought for a while: "The guest was mysterious and never showed up. The person who sent the painting was the person from the moving company, and the money was also transferred online, but I have received a call from that guest , the voice is very nice, oh, yes, I remembered, I remember that the boss seemed to call him Mr. Yin."
Mr. Yin? !Bai Su's pupils constricted violently, he was very shocked, and for some reason suddenly remembered the scene a few days ago.
It was the day before Yin Jue's death. He received a call from the other party, saying that he hadn't seen him for a few days and that he missed him a little. Yin Jue's voice was weak and weak, mixed with a few coughs from time to time. Bai Su's heart immediately softened when he heard it. Come down, hang up the phone and run away immediately.
Thinking back carefully now, there seems to be something wrong with Yin Jue's expression that day. His personality has always been deserted, and he seems to often smile. But he seemed very happy and excited. When he saw Bai Su, he offered to make almond milk tea for him. At that time, Bai Su only thought that his condition had improved, but he didn't think much about it when he was happy.
It was obviously not like this before, since Yin Jue's condition worsened and his body became thinner and thinner, the smile on his face gradually decreased, and he often sat silently, not knowing what he was thinking, and the aura around him was gloomy and cold, making people uncomfortable. He dared to come within three feet of him at will, and only when he saw Bai Su would the ice on his body melt a little bit, revealing some freshness.But Bai Su carefully found that Yin Jue was very sad every time he faced him, the eyes that stared at him were painful and desperate, his slender eyebrows were tightly knit together, hesitant and tangled, but very careful The moment Bai Su looked over, he quickly restrained his expression, and continued joking as if nothing had happened.
Moreover, once Bai Su accidentally left something behind and went back, just in time to see Yin Jue holding his head tightly with dead wood-like hands through the crack of the door, with a low wailing and roaring from his lips, over and over again. Asking why, he was destined not to get an answer, because no one knew what he was asking.Er Er Yin Jue stood up with bloodshot eyes, and angrily swept the large and small medicine bottles on the coffee table to the ground, like a wounded beast, on the verge of death, powerless to change his own destiny.
"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai?" The worker with a square face called Bai Su tentatively, and looked at him worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Ah, it's nothing." Bai Su quickly recovered, "Do you still remember when that gentleman delivered the painting to your store and what he said?"
"Well, wait a minute." Guozilian took out a palm-sized booklet from his trouser pocket, flipped through a few pages, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Ah, I found it, Mr. Yin delivered the things on April 4th." It came here, except for telling us to be careful and get it ready for you as soon as possible, I didn’t say anything else.”
April 4th?Bai Su frowned in thought. He received a call from Yin Jue on April 25, and then went to visit him. The next day was the date of Yin Jue's death. So this painting was delivered two days before his death. To the framing shop?Is it because of this that Yin Jue was in a good mood that day?Thinking like this, he felt so heavy that he couldn't tell what it was like, but he couldn't be happy anyway.
This oil painting is very large, about five meters long and three meters high. It was placed against the wall. For a moment, Bai Su wondered if it was done by Yin Jue. After all, everyone knew that Yin Jue was out of energy. Because of this, he seldom draws huge oil paintings.
The white cloth covering the oil painting was dazzlingly white, which made Bai Su have some bad associations. He walked to the oil painting, took a lot of effort to remove the white cloth, and then took two steps back to examine it carefully.
The moment he saw the content of the oil painting clearly, Bai Su couldn't help exclaiming, his phoenix eyes widened, staring at the oil painting without blinking, there seemed to be a sudden thunder in his mind, he was so shocked that he couldn't react for a while, and his mind went blank .
At a glance, the most attractive thing in the oil painting is the young man in the center. He is wearing a navy blue casual suit, a pure white shirt inside, and a vintage pure black bow tie around his neck. His jet-black pupils were shining brightly, like stars in the middle of the night. His eyes were staring straight ahead. There was a sense of arrogance and confidence in his eyes, as well as some traces of affection that could not be hidden. It only stretches forward, like a prince waiting for the arrival of his lover, elegant and noble, full of indescribable magical power.
Bai Su has always known that Yin Jue is very talented in painting, but he didn't know that the other party's talent is so high, the young people in the paintings are drawn so lifelike, it seems as if they will come to life in the next second, and the most exquisite What's more special is those eyes, I don't know what kind of technique he used to draw them, they are as black as ink and full of brilliance, no matter from which angle you look at it, you will have the illusion that he is watching you, what an exquisite skill!
It is conceivable that the moment Bai Su saw the portrait, what kind of shock his spirit received, so that he subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, as if if he didn't do this, he would immediately scream out of composure come out.
It took several minutes before Bai Su came back to his senses, and stopped looking at Yin Jue in the painting. He let out a breath slowly, trying to avoid being attracted by "Yin Jue", and set his eyes on the oil painting. In other places, it is only then that the overall layout of the picture can be seen clearly.
Yin Jue used to use cool and dark tones when painting, and this painting is no exception.At the top of the picture is the gray sky, and a dilapidated Gothic church can be seen vaguely under the layers of cloud on the left. The sharp dome soars into the clouds, looming under the mist.Large pieces of dead branches are messy and intertwined, the young man is facing the decadent scene, surrounded by burning clouds like dense flowers of the other side, extremely enchanting, shocking, half as cold as death, half as hot as fire, it is obviously a very contradictory scene, but it is captured by its ingenious into the same painting.
However, the most eye-catching among them is still the youth in the painting.
Watching and watching, Bai Su's eyes gradually showed obsession, his body took two steps forward uncontrollably, only the affectionate eyes of the young man in the painting remained in his mind, and his vague expectations Hope, in a trance, Bai Su stretched out his hand, and slowly handed it to "Yin Jue".
At this moment, the coldness and arrogance in the person's eyebrows and eyes in the painting seem to have disappeared, leaving only warmth and concern in his eyes, and he looks back at Bai Su encouragingly, with a hint of urging.
As the distance got closer, Bai Su's consciousness became more and more blurred, and his whole body had to stick to the painting. When his fingertips touched the outstretched fingers of the young man in the painting, the touch felt slightly cold, probably because of hallucinations in a trance, Bai Su Unexpectedly, a trace of joy that did not come from nowhere quickly passed through the eyes of the portrait.
At this moment, a "ding" suddenly sounded in Bai Su's mind, and a system prompt appeared: "The mission target has appeared, please complete the mission as soon as possible!"
In an instant, all the layers of thick fog in Bai Su's eyes dissipated, and he quickly withdrew his hand. Thinking of his stupid behavior just now, his face almost turned red, thinking that he didn't have this habit before. I don't even think it's okay to be tired of being with my senior brother, but now I'm crazy about a portrait?
However, since the system has given a prompt, it means that the mission Xiaojiao mentioned is hidden here. Bai Su quickly glanced at the oil painting again, and couldn't help frowning. He thought the mission this time was very simple, but now it seems But it is not the case. A person has a pair of eyes. This is common sense that all children know. No matter how you look at it, there is only one person in this oil painting. Where did the seventh pair of eyes come from?
Are there other people hidden in the painting?This is not Bai Su's whimsy. Many people who study painting know that some artists with ingenious ideas like to use special techniques in the process of painting to hide things, such as hiding a complete thing in a place where the light and shade are obviously different. In several places, using the human eye's habit of distinguishing light and dark colors, something is cut to temporarily deceive the viewer.
Another example is to use the lines, colors, and shapes of the objects in the painting to hide the painting within the painting. In this case, the viewer can only see what is hidden inside the painting only from a specific angle.
In addition, some other special pigments are used to paint on top of the already painted works. This kind of invisible painting often needs to be revealed under certain conditions.
After going through the several techniques that the teacher said in the past, Bai Su gradually got the spectrum in his mind. You have to try these methods one by one to know the answer.
The cell phone rang suddenly in the quiet studio, Bai Su took out the cell phone and glanced at it, connected it, and when he heard what was said there, he immediately showed a joyful smile.
"...Really?...Ah, ok, ok, now? No problem, I'll go right away."
After putting away the mobile phone, Bai Su covered the oil painting with a white cloth, walked out quickly with a bright smile.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and a wind suddenly blew up in the studio with the doors and windows closed. The white cloth was billowed and fluttered, revealing a pair of evil eyes in the oil painting below.
The seventh pair of eyes ([-])
Cold drink shop on the street.
Biting the straw, Bai Su joked with a smile, "I really didn't expect that you would be willing to come back. I thought you planned to take root in the US Emperor for the rest of your life."
The young man on the opposite side laughed softly when he heard the words. He was wearing a British-style cotton shirt, light coffee-colored slacks, handsome facial features, and warm eyebrows when he smiled: "Asu came to tease me again, no matter how good it is over there, it's not as good as my hometown. What's more, since you're back, what am I going to do here?" He blinked his eyes and gave Bai Su a childish look.
Bai Su laughed: "Don't make it sound like you came here because of me, otherwise Grandpa Wen will definitely be jealous."
After hearing this, Wen Shumo also laughed, the sun cast a layer of soft light on his gentle eyebrows and eyes, and the whole person looked like a young man in a bad world who came out of an ink painting, with a charming temperament, "Why not, A Su and I have a book and a painting, isn't it a perfect match?"
Wen Shumo came from a scholarly family. His grandfather studied a lot in calligraphy and painting. Wen Shumo was with him since he was a child.
I didn't expect that Wen Shumo, who had a very strict tutor, could say such words. Bai Su smiled with crooked eyebrows, sweeping away the gloom of the past few days, "I really think, but it's a pity, what I learned from Teacher Xu is oil painting. If Combined with your calligraphy, the effect may be difficult for people to see directly."
"That's not necessarily true." Wen Shumo narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Bai Su meaningfully, "Maybe there will be unexpected effects." He stretched out his hand to hold Bai Su's palm, and gently stroked it twice , the lowered eyebrows contained endless tenderness, "I went to Paris with my classmates a few days ago, and got a pair of beautiful men's rings there. I think it suits you very well. Will Asu want it?"
Things suddenly developed in a direction that Bai Su had never imagined, and he exclaimed in his heart, what the hell, this probably didn't mean what I understood, maybe it was just Wen Shumo's language problem...Your sister!
How did you talk and kissed it? Fall!
Wen Shumo leaned over, imprinted a kiss on the back of Bai Su's hand reverently, and said softly, "A Su, do you understand what I mean?"
The corner of Bai Su's mouth twitched, and he tentatively pulled his fingers out, but found that the other party's movements seemed gentle, but his strength was not weak. He smiled awkwardly, and after a long time he said seriously: "Almost a month has passed since April Fool's Day. .”
This is to escape, Wen Shumo sighed helplessly in his heart. At the beginning, he settled abroad with his parents, and met Bai Su through the business contacts between the two families. He had a good impression of this clean and well-behaved boy when he first met, and later became more I often go to find Bai Su with excuses, and always like to take him with me when I go out to play, but it is a pity that I am young and ignorant, and recklessly define that youthful emotion as brotherhood. After Bai Su returns to China, he seems to have lost Like the backbone, after a few months in a trance, I had to face up to my heart.After seeing his feelings for Bai Su clearly, he spent some time dealing with trivial matters, and then hurried over, but he didn't want to confess his true feelings to the other party who would not accept it at all.
"Don't change the subject, Asu, I know you understand." Wen Shumo knew that he couldn't be too tight, so he let go of his hand reluctantly, and took out a small brocade box from his pocket, "This is me leaving I found it in many places, and I'm waiting for you to pick it up."
Opening the brocade box, Bai Su looked over subconsciously. The ring had soft lines, showing a simple and elegant silver-white color, only dotted with crystal clear gemstones in the middle. Bai Su took a few serious glances, and then moved his eyes to Wen Shumo's hand. Only then did I realize that the two men's rings look like the same style.
The two have known each other for a long time, and Bai Su naturally knew that Wen Shumo was not a frivolous person who would joke about such things, but he just treated Wen Shumo as a friend and never thought of anything else. At that moment, the phone rang, and he said sorry, and picked up the phone, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The call came from the police station, saying that there was new progress in the theft of Yin Jue's body, and I wanted to trouble him to go there.The phone call happened so coincidentally that it was like saving himself from the fire and water. Bai Su was glad that he had an excuse to leave, and quickly said no trouble or no trouble.
After answering the phone, he raised his head, met Shang Wen Shumo's disappointment mixed with funny eyes, and said teasingly: "Do you feel like you have escaped from the sky? I guess, even if it is your enemy who is calling at this time, Asu will Are you grateful?"
Bai Su also realized that his actions just now were too hurtful, and looked at him extremely apologetically: "Brother Wen, I don't want to lie to you, I have no affection for you, I only treat you as a relative." He saw Wen Shumo's smile gradually faded away. Xiao Xiao felt uncomfortable, but the long-term pain of this kind of thing is worse than the short-term pain, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will end. After figuring this out, Bai Su was determined not to look at his face, stood up and said: "Brother Wen, I still have to wait." Let’s leave first, let’s meet again another day.”
Before leaving, Bai Su couldn't help but bowed, said sorry, turned around and slipped away like a rabbit, but Wen Shumo, who was depressed, couldn't laugh or cry. It was gradually getting better, thinking that since I am still a child, it is common to change my mind from time to time, maybe I will agree to it in the future, and sincerity is as good as gold and stone, there is always a chance.
Here, Bai Su ran out in a hurry, and after a short delay, he immediately became embarrassed, why did he bow so gracefully, it was just too embarrassing, he patted his slightly hot face, got in a taxi and went straight to the police station.
The people who received Bai Su were Officer Zhou and Officer Li whom I had met last time. Bai Su didn't know their names until after the fact. As soon as they met, he hurriedly asked, "You two officers, what do you mean by saying things have progressed? But have you found my brother?"
Zhou Hong poured a glass of water and handed it to him, and said with a smile, "You are too impatient."
Bai Su got up to take the water, and said helplessly, "The temperature is getting higher day by day, if you can't find senior brother again, it will be a disaster..."
Li Wei smiled and expressed his understanding, "Analyzed by technicians, the surveillance video of that night was indeed tampered with, and it can be confirmed that it was man-made theft. We came to you this time to ask you, did Mr. Yin Jue ever If we have a grudge with someone, we can carry out further investigations if we have a scope."
Sure enough, someone is playing tricks!Bai Su heaved a sigh of relief, someone involved will definitely leave traces, now that technology is so advanced, they can always be found, as long as it is not...
However, grudges?Bai Su frowned and thought for a while, but still got nothing, "My senior brother is rather aloof, and because of his poor health, he is bored at home all day long, and rarely contacts anyone. How could he have grudges with others?"
The two police officers looked at each other, and Zhou Hong induced again: "Think about it carefully, and don't let go of any details. Maybe the clues you provide can help us solve the case. You also know that the weather is hot now, and the sooner you find it, the better." Okay. Besides, I remember you said that Yin Jue is a painter, and his talent is very high. It is not surprising that people who are interested in art are more extreme, so no one feels jealous?"
Bai Su thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly: "The people in the Academy of Fine Arts do seem to have some unreasonable eccentricities, but their natures are not bad. Senior brother and them are just petty quarrels, no matter what, they will not vent their grievances by desecrating corpses." What's more, those people are weak scholars in essence, and they are timid."
That's true, Zhou Hong frowned after hearing this, could there be no other clues?The two chatted with Bai Su for a few more words, and after making sure that there was nothing suspicious, they let him go, and turned their attention back to the funeral parlor.
After returning home, Bai Su went to the study to look at the oil paintings, thinking about how to find the hidden eyes so as not to damage the oil paintings, and then made a list, intending to purchase some things that might come in handy.
In the next few days, Bai Su was busy with this matter, and there was no movement from the police station, but Wen Shumo would call every day, or ask him out for dinner, or ask him to gather together for some reason, but Bai Su politely declined.
After a few days like this, Bai Su's decryption game has not made any progress.
That afternoon, Bai Su went out to look for food and was walking on the bustling street when suddenly someone stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, and said with a smile: "My benefactor, I see that your seal is dark and your complexion is gray, which may have a bad omen." ah!"
The sense of time travel in this sentence is too strong, Bai Su wondered for a moment whether he had broken into someone else's camera, glanced left and right, but did not see anything resembling a camera, so he raised his arm, wanting to pull He returned his sleeves, rolled his eyes unceremoniously after repeated attempts and failed, bared his teeth at him, and threatened: "Let go, or I will bite you."
The other party laughed aloud: "Yo, the teeth are not bad, you should not get tooth decay."
Bai Su raised his eyes to look at him, the man in front of him was about [-] years old, with a round and square face, a pair of big and round eyes, black and bright, especially agile, with a smile on his lips, and two white and tender cheeks. With a small dimple, a very sunny and handsome appearance, and a refreshing voice, he looks like an ordinary college student.It's just that his clothes are extremely inappropriate. His upper body is an indigo robe, and the sleeves and neckline are obviously a little off. A small piece of light blue jeans is exposed at the hem of the robe, and he wears slightly yellowed white sneakers on his feet.
Seeing that Bai Su kept looking at him, the little Taoist grinned, showing his white teeth, and said very sharply, "Hey, let me tell you, the benefactor is a fortune teller, it's not me, don't think I'm young , but the hexagrams are very accurate, others call me Lu Banxian, there is a saying that is Yin Yang and Five Elements, ten hexagrams and nine spirits." Speaking of this, he pouted his mouth and motioned Bai Su to look at the banner beside him.
Bai Su followed his line of sight subconsciously, and saw three elegant bold characters written on the white Taoist banner, which were exactly the three characters of Lu Banxian.The corners of Bai Su's mouth twitched, and he stared at the young man who called himself Lu Banxian for a long time with the eyes of a snake spirit, thinking, how old is it that there are still people wearing Taoist robes?Could it be that the wall of a nearby mental hospital has collapsed?
He withdrew his hand helplessly, and tentatively asked, "What ward do you live in?"
This time, the corner of Lu Banxian's mouth twitched. He stretched out his hand and stroked his chin, restrained his expression and pretended to be a cold fairy: "Stupid mortal, you dare to offend this Banxian like this, you will definitely regret it."
Bai Su was not in the mood to tangle with him, so he said helplessly: "Okay, I regret it, I regret it." She took out her mobile phone and planned to dial.
Lu Banxian was annoyed: "I told you, I'm not crazy, forget it, believe it or not, you don't know it because you are full of Yin Qi, wait until you cry in the future." He snorted arrogantly, turned and left After a few steps, he stood on the spot and looked around for a few minutes. After finding the next target, Lu Banxian pounced on it excitedly, "Benefactor, your seal is dark, there may be a bad omen!"
It's a pity that the other party ignored him at all, scolded him for being crazy, pulled out his sleeves and left, patting his clothes as he walked, as if he was stained with something dirty, several times in a row.
Bai Su felt that he might have lost his mind, so he didn't turn around and leave. He stood here and watched how that little magic stick bluffed people. The note walked over, "Lu Banxian, how much is it?"
The seventh pair of eyes (seven)
Picking up a peanut and throwing it into his mouth, Bai Su looked at the young man opposite him who was eating and drinking, and was speechless for a while, "I said, Lu Banxian, didn't you agree to make a fortune for me?"
Lu Banxian was gnawing on the chicken wings, waving his oily paws, and said without raising his head, "What's the hurry, you won't die, and you can do things when you're full."
Bai Su rolled his eyes exaggeratedly, thinking that he was really stupid to believe what a charlatan said, forget it, just think of it as spending money to find someone to eat with him.After figuring this out, Bai Su no longer struggled, and simply let go of eating, chatting with Lu Banxian from time to time, and the two who came and went quickly became acquainted.
It can be seen that this Lu Banxian himself is not a deep-rooted person, and his family does not seem to be very rich, so it may be helpless to come out to fortune-telling.
After eating and drinking, Lu Banxian patted his round stomach contentedly, and sighed comfortably: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so full." Looking up and seeing Bai Su, he returned to his hippie smile, "Look at you please For the sake of my meal, I will give you a divination." Then he stood up and signaled Bai Su to follow.
The two of them washed their hands before returning to the private room. Lu Banxian lowered his head and took out a worn blue cloth bag from the inner pocket of his shirt. After opening it, six simple and elegant copper coins were revealed. He pushed the copper coins in front of Bai Su, restraining the expression of laughter on his face. , with a serious tone: "Close the copper coins in the palm of your hand, close your hands, close your eyes, and concentrate on thinking about what you want to calculate. Remember, you must get rid of distracting thoughts and ask the hexagram sincerely!"
Seeing him like this, Bai Su put away his joking thoughts, and picked up the copper coin seriously. The copper coin did not know where it came from, and it seemed to be a few years old. It felt cool to the touch and had a rough texture.
Bai Su put the copper coins in the palm of his hand as Lu Banxian said, closed his eyes and meditated, and after about a minute, he randomly scattered the copper coins on the table where the dishes had been removed. He opened his eyes impatiently, looked down at the copper coins, and saw them Scattered haphazardly, unable to make sense of it for a while, he asked Lu Banxian, "What's the meaning of this?"
Lu Banxian narrowed his big and round eyes, pressed the middle and middle fingers of his left hand on the copper coins, moved them one by one in front of him, arranged them neatly, looked at them carefully for a long while, and said, "Di Lei Fu Gua."
Bai Su was puzzled: "Why?"
Lu Banxian recited a few hexagrams in a similar manner: "If this hexagram is not in harmony, you will be worried and indecisive. The benefactor turns into resentment instead of righteousness, and troubles arise from right and wrong." Seeing that Bai Su was still in a daze Looking at it, he asked, "What was in your mind when you did the divination just now?"
Bai Su hesitated for a while, and replied hesitantly: "Looking for something."
Lu Banxian nodded, and then kindly explained a few more words, "The hexagram is simple to say that you can't find people, you can't be sure, and you will be at peace when you change the festival and the moon."
"Looking for someone? So you can't find them." Although we know that this matter can't be done properly, since we forget it, everyone wants to get a satisfactory answer, and Bai Su is no exception. Sad look.
Lu Banxian raised his eyebrows, he put the copper money back into the cloth bag, smiled at Bai Su ruffianly, and became the young man with a bright smile and nonsense again, "Hey, I said, are you looking for a person or a thing?"
Bai Su frowned, sighed, and said in a sad tone, "It used to be a person, but now it's a thing."
"What do you mean? What did you lose?"
Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Su got up and was about to leave, and explained lightly: "A corpse was lost." After saying this, even Lu Banxian, who claimed to know everything, was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face changed several times , faintly murmured: "No wonder... this time, it's really troublesome..."
Seeing that Bai Su had gone out, he hurriedly chased after him and said: "Hey, I said you can leave as soon as you say, and you haven't finished explaining the hexagrams yet. Let me tell you, you have something to do recently, and you can do things in the future." Be careful, but you should be fine as long as you last for more than a month, remember!" After speaking, without waiting for Bai Su's answer, he walked away holding the banner.
When he got home, it was already very late, Bai Su saw the lights on in the living room, his heart warmed up, he changed his shoes and went in, he raised his voice slightly and shouted towards the kitchen: "Uncle Cheng, is that you, why are you still here?" Do not sleep?"
A familiar sound came from the kitchen. Uncle Cheng came over in home clothes, holding a cup of something, and said with a smile on his lips, "I see that the young master hasn't come back so late, and I'm worried that you're drinking again, so I made you a cup of almond milk tea. Drink it quickly, it's good for your health."
Hearing the word almond milk tea, Bai Su's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he suddenly felt an irresistible sadness. This emotion came out of nowhere. He looked at the milk tea in front of him, sighed, and said helplessly, "Cheng Uncle, I've eaten outside, but I can't drink now."
"Really?" Uncle Cheng looked at Bai Su fixedly, with obvious disappointment on his face, "I heard from Mr. Yin before that the young master likes to drink almond milk tea very much. I learned it on purpose. It turns out that the young master doesn't like it." By the last sentence, the voice had become inaudible.
Bai Su was originally wondering why Uncle Cheng could make this kind of milk tea all of a sudden, these words just answered the doubts in his heart, and thinking about Uncle Cheng working hard for himself in his old age, he felt so guilty and softened his attitude, " Well, Uncle Cheng, don't be sad, I'll drink it right away." He picked it up and drank it in one gulp, and let him look at the cup specially, and said with a smile: "That's all right."
Uncle Cheng showed a satisfied smile, "Master is so good."
Uncle Cheng didn't say this before, but every time Bai Su obediently finished his practice work, Yin Jue would rub his hair and give him a compliment like this, so after hearing this, Bai Su's face was full of tears. His expression froze slightly, he raised his head and said goodnight to Uncle Cheng, turned around and walked upstairs, thinking absently as he walked, that something seemed wrong with Uncle Cheng's expression just now, and he couldn't tell what was wrong when he tried to explain why. So when I came here, I comforted myself and said that I must have read it wrong.
Downstairs, Uncle Cheng watched Bai Su go upstairs with a cup in his hand, his wrinkled and vicissitudes face was half hidden in the darkness, people could only see his tightly pressed lips.
After a while, Uncle Cheng smiled with a wicked expression on his face.
Regarding what Lu Banxian said that night, Bai Su didn't take it seriously at first, he was still immersed in his puzzle-solving game, until reality gave him another blow.
The paintbrush fell to the ground with a bang, and the red paint stained the carpet red, which was shocking, but Bai Su, who had always cherished this white wool carpet, couldn't care less about it. He held the phone with a trembling voice, and asked incoherently: " You...you made a mistake, I don't believe...how could he..."
The girl on the opposite side was probably used to such things, her voice was still cold and calm, without any emotion, "I'm sorry sir, the hospital will never joke about such things, we contacted you through that gentleman's mobile phone , he only has your number in his mobile phone, but because the scene of the car accident is quite messy, no relevant documents were found, anyway, please come here as soon as possible."
Bai Su hung up the phone with a pale face, grabbed his wallet and went out, hurriedly came to a certain operating room of the hospital, there was already a nurse waiting there, holding a new mobile phone in his hand, when he saw Bai Su, he rushed forward , "Are you Asu?"
Bai Su subconsciously looked at the mobile phone held by the nurse, it was the one he had just seen in Wen Shumo's hand a few days ago
