hearse drift

It was rare for the housekeeper to not be in the hall during breakfast.

Fang Li drank the porridge absent-mindedly, watching Qiqi secretly from the corner of his eye when he picked up the bowl.

Sure enough, her condition was exactly the same as that of Xiao Ke that day. She was a little stiff the day before, but today she is no different from a normal person.

Xiang Luping, who shared the bed with her, was fine. It seemed that he didn't notice anything unusual about his girlfriend that night. Compared to before, his relationship with Qiqi seemed to be better, starting from getting up in the morning He kept looking at Qiqi's profile with eyes almost infatuated.

"Be careful—this is hot, let me do it." Xiang Luping took the egg from Qiqi's hands, and tenderly peeled off the outer shell of the egg for her, revealing the steaming white. "Ah—open your mouth."

Kiki sat aside, obediently waiting for him to be fed.

The two showed their love for each other as if no one was around at the table, and the others turned their heads away to express that they couldn't bear to look directly at them.

Fang Li looked at it for a while, then looked away.

Xiao Ke's situation is different from Qiqi's. She doesn't seem to plan to continue looking for new companions, and has always been going in and out of Guilou by herself these two days.

Fang Li's eyes flicked past her, and only paused for a while, as if she had noticed something, she looked straight at him.

In the next second, a piece of skin on her neck suddenly fell off, as if a rolled up scroll was suddenly unrolled.

Not only Fang Li, but also Zhu Yicheng saw this scene, they flinched at the same time, grabbed each other's thigh, and swallowed the scream that was about to burst out of their throats.

Zhu Yicheng seemed to have exerted all his breastfeeding strength, pinching Fang Li for him and immediately tears welled up in his eyes.

"Fang Li, why are you crying?" Zhao Xiaotong asked suddenly.

After this questioning, Xiao Ke immediately returned to normal. Only Fang Li and Zhu Yicheng were "fortunately" to witness the weird and intrusive scene just now.

"...cough cough, I was choked by diced chili peppers." Fang Li opened his eyes and said nonsense, and simply acted out the whole set, wiping the tears that Zhu Yicheng pinched out of the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

Zhu Yicheng rubbed his thigh, which was also pinched so painfully, and couldn't tell the pain.

Accompanied by the ringing of bells while walking, the appearance of several domestic servants attracted Xiao Ke's attention. No, to be precise, it should be the thing brought out behind those domestic servants that attracted her.

It was a four-fold screen with four beauties painted on it.

If I remember correctly, this is the screen that has been placed in the back room before.

As for Xiao Ke and Qi Qi, they became what they are now after being taken to the screen by the housekeeper.

After the screen was moved out, both Xiao Ke and Qiqi put down their chopsticks, staring at the screen with their eyes, as if they wanted to stick it on.

Xiang Luping felt a little strange, so he looked at the screen twice more, and then his eyes straightened immediately.

Fang Li hesitated for a while, thinking that nothing would happen if he just took a look, so he quickly glanced at the painting on the screen.

At this glance, he somewhat understood why Xiao Ke and others were so obsessed with this screen, because the beauties on it were so attractive.They are vivid and bright, with frowning or smiling expressions. They are obviously just beauties in the painting, but they seem to have magical powers, making people unable to take their eyes off at a glance.

Staring at it for a long time, it seems like I can walk into the painting.

Although Fang Li was determined, he also fell into it.After looking at it for a while, he realized that something was wrong, and he screamed inwardly, but he couldn't make up his mind to close his eyes and stop staring at the screen.

Zhu Yicheng was burying his head in eating hard at first, but when he looked up, he saw Fang Li's gaze fell on the screen, and his eyes were fixed, as if he had lost his soul.

He glanced roughly, not only Fang Li, but almost everyone at the table cast their eyes on the screen.

No matter how nervous Zhu Yicheng is, he should realize that something is wrong.He didn't dare to look at the screen, but called Fang Li in a low voice, Fang Li lost his mind and couldn't respond to him.

"Damn it." Zhu Yicheng cursed secretly, then simply covered Fang Li's eyes with his hands, and rubbed them vigorously.Fearing that Fang Li wouldn't wake up, he was quick to use his wits, freed up a hand to tear open the meat buns on the table, and put the buns under his nose.

The steamed stuffed bun smelled very fragrant, an aroma that even Fang Li couldn't resist.

Visible to the naked eye, he first moved his nose, then swallowed his saliva, and impatiently reached out to take the hand below him that blocked his sight, and then asked in confusion: "Zhu Yicheng, what are you doing?"

Zhu Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said angrily, "I'm reminding you not to look at the screen."

"The screen?" Fang Li was stunned for two seconds, then his expression turned subtle: "Did I just stare at the screen?"

"Looked—" Zhu Yicheng stretched his voice, his tone half-dead, "not only watched, but also watched intently."

This time it was Fang Li's turn to frowned deeply.

It was easier to wake up the two girls, Zhao Xiaotong and Yu Jiaxi. You only needed to pat them on the shoulder, and they came back to their senses, with expressions on their faces as if they had just woken up from a dream.

As for the others, Fang Li was still worried about whether to wake them up one by one, but someone smashed an empty bowl, and the sound of broken porcelain was extremely ear-piercing. Those who were addicted to the screen were more or less awake.

"This screen...is Mr. Gui's?" Someone couldn't help stopping a servant and asked.

The domestic servant looked different from the one who came to serve in their yard, with his head lowered, showing no expression, and a lifeless look.

Facing the guest's question, he replied respectfully: "Yes, this is drawn by our husband himself."

The person who asked the question let him go, smacked his tongue slightly after the servant left, and said, "Do opera singers still have this skill?"

Indeed, the picture of the four beauties on this screen is so vivid, its owner must have reached the state of perfection in painting.

This is not something that one person can practice in five or ten years.

Could it be that when Mr. Gui is not singing, he just shuts himself in the room and paints?

Fang Li pursed his lips, overturning this thought in his mind.

No, the reason why the paintings on the screen are so eye-catching is not only because of the painting skills.

The beauty is indeed painted vividly, but it is a bit unusual for people to fall into it just by looking at it.

He put down his chopsticks and beckoned the other three to leave the table together.

"How did you feel when you stared at the screen just now?" Fang Li asked after going out.

"It's so beautiful, I couldn't help but look at it a few more times." Yu Jiaxi said.

Zhao Xiaotong said that he felt the same way, "But beauty is beauty, and as a woman, paintings don't appeal to me that much."

These words made Fang Li silent. He was thinking that he seemed to have stared at it for a long time just now...

"Actually, you're fine. Look at other men, they all look like they want to get into the painting." Zhao Xiaotong paused, and then said: "You can imagine that the painting on the screen is Xie Baiyuan."

"..." Then he probably got into the painting by now.

According to the plan discussed yesterday, after breakfast, a few of them packed their bags and went out.

The place where Guiwen was buried was really easy to find, and it took about ten minutes to walk there.

This cemetery was personally selected by Mr. Gui. They became actors and had been removed from the family tree long ago, so they could not be buried in the ancestral grave after death.

Gui Wen's grave was there, and there was a tombstone in front of the grave. Fang Li was about to step up to take a closer look when he heard soft footsteps.

"Someone is coming." He grabbed Zhu Yicheng and the others, and mouthed.

There is a lush grove on the side of the cemetery, and the four of them took their steps lightly and hid in the woods.

The sound of rustling footsteps was getting closer, and a thin figure appeared in front of everyone.

The man's hair was gray, but his body was straight, looking like a proud bone that would rather bend than bend.

Fang Li hid behind a tree and looked at this place, his pupils constricted slightly.

This person is the suspicious old housekeeper of Guilou.

The housekeeper stood in front of the grave for a long time, but just stood there without any other action.

The four of them hid behind the same tree like an arhat, Zhu Yicheng squatted at the bottom, his legs were almost numb, the housekeeper took something out of his pocket, carefully placed it in front of the grave, and then turned and left.

After confirming that he was far away, Fang Li and others came out from behind the tree.

"What did he bring here..." Zhao Xiaotong muttered softly, bending over to pick up something from the grave.

Suddenly, she stopped moving, and when she raised her head again, her expression was a little flustered.

Yu Jiaxi immediately noticed something was wrong with her, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Xiaotong held tightly the things she had just picked up, but obviously, it wasn't this that made her flustered.

She pointed forward, her voice was a little confused: "Look... look at the tombstone."

A person's name is usually engraved on the tombstone, as well as the year they were born and the year they died.

And on the tombstone in front of them, "Gui Wen's Tomb" is engraved in the largest font.

Due to being expelled from the family tree, only a small line of words was engraved on the side to represent the identity of the person who erected the monument: Brother Guiwen.

Fang Li and the others looked at each other.

Before, everyone in the Gui Tower called the owner of the house Mr. Gui. Considering it was just an NPC, no one thought of asking what Mr. Gui's name was.

It turned out that the Gui brothers and sisters were named Gui Wen and Gui Wen.

In other words, these are two Awen/Awen.

In this way, the stories they heard from other people before have to be deliberated.
