Chapter 30 Hidden Ring Chapter

Uncle Hai: "You... what are you doing?"

After scraping off the paint, a chaotic blue-green color was revealed, overlapping with people and mountains.Brother Qi asked, "Did you see it?"

Everyone shook their heads blankly.It is normal for an oil painting to have layers of color under it. The artist conceives, drafts, and changes on the canvas before finally forming the surface image.

Qi Geer returned to the dining table, picked up a plate of soy sauce, dipped his index finger in soy sauce without hesitation, and daubed it on the painting.

Although Cheng Tianlu never thought about selling paintings, he still felt unbearable to see millions of paintings being ruined by Brother Qi. "If you have something to say, you don't need to get started, right?"

Brother Qi smiled and said, "Did you see it, Peacock!" His posture was like a five-year-old child showing off his graffiti to adults.

Qi Geer used soy sauce to outline an outline, which indeed looked like a peacock at first glance.Those who were squatting in the sandpit were thin and long, like peacock feathers.Cheng Tianlu was puzzled: "You painted a peacock, but Duomi painted it, and I only saw puddles of color. You say a fan is a fan, and a porcupine is a porcupine. You can say it looks like anything."

"No, it's a peacock. You can tell from the composition of the painting. He first painted a peacock and then covered it with other colors."

"Why cover it?" Uncle Hai asked.

Cheng Tianlu is not that sensitive to images. Thinking back to the piece that was scraped away by Ge Er, the shadows, stones, weeds, etc. of the pit under the person's feet do conform to the lines outlined by Ge Er.He pondered: "Could it be that you want to convey some information? If you want to convey information, who do you want to convey it to?"

"Are there peacocks in other paintings?"

Brother Qi raised his eyebrows: "Why don't we scratch one by one to see!"

Cheng Tianlu hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, I'm talking too much! Don't destroy artworks anymore. Even if they are not worth millions, they are still created by people's hard work. Besides, you plan to sneak into his house and take away the paintings. Steal it?"

Brother Qi seriously considered this possibility, and finally found it boring, "I won't steal it, so what if I know it's a peacock, or I don't understand anything."

He sat back on the sofa as if he had finished a task, looked at Uncle Hai, "Is this what you're looking for?"

Uncle Hai pursed the corners of his cold lips, but his tone was blank: "I don't know."

Cheng Tianlu was taken aback, looked at Uncle Hai, and then at Brother Qi.What is Uncle Hai looking for?Brother Qi, what's the plan between the two of them?Many clues are intertwined, some things have been found, but more things are intertwined, and it is becoming more and more unclear.

That day, Uncle Hai washed the dishes, cleaned up the living room, and threw all their clothes into the washing machine before leaving.

Tong Yiru went back to his room to rest after drinking and watching an inexplicable reasoning scene.Before entering the door, she cast an affectionate look at Cheng Tianlu, but Cheng Tianlu didn't notice it at all, and his whole mind was on the soy sauce painting and Brother Qi's plot.

"You are really loyal to Uncle Hai. You stole paintings for him, made movies for him, and even helped him spy on me." Cheng Tianlu was indignant.As soon as he turned his head, he understood that they had just met for the first time, and they didn't have many handovers, but Brother Qi called him from time to time to inquire about the details of the interview and the local customs. , mostly because Uncle Hai had something to do with that incident, and he collected information for Uncle Hai.

The relationship between Brother Qi and Uncle Hai is much closer than he thought.

Brother Qi didn't deny it, but said a little tiredly: "After doing so many things, it's still a mess in the end."

Cheng Tianlu felt sour in his heart: "What on earth are you two trying to do? Is Uncle Hai related to the murder case in the mine, or has something to do with that village?"

Brother Qi looked up at him from the tablet, and said in a rarely serious tone: "I don't know if he wants to let others know, but it's not convenient for me to tell you the reason, so you can ask him yourself."

"I want to ask, I just asked." Cheng Tianlu smiled coldly, "I don't want to get involved in your matter at all, you can return that soy sauce painting to him."

After Qi Geer's second creation of that painting, it hangs desolately on the wall.Brother Qi looked at the paintings: "Don't you want to know what these paintings mean?"

"To be honest, I'm a little curious, but knowing it without thinking about it is definitely not a happy thing. Life is hard, so don't ask the bottom line of everything, just make things difficult for yourself."

Brother Qi was overjoyed. He seldom saw Cheng Tianlu look so mournful, so he couldn't help but say, "Why are you so unhappy? You don't like this painting, or do you not like me here?"

"I don't like a story with too many hidden links. A good suspense story should reveal all the clues. The audience must know as much as the protagonist. If you hold the clues and play the audience around, you are playing hooligans."

"Did I play a hooligan on you?" Brother Qi lowered his head and smiled, "I gave you all the clues. It's not that you don't know, but you just don't want to think about it." He looked up at Cheng Tianlu, "Is that right?"

Tianlu was in a mess.Is Geer Qi referring to this painting, or something else?Brother Qi gave him enough clues!Brother Qi's actions, his words, and his motives often confuse Cheng Tianlu.

"Give it all to me?"

"Well, I have nothing else to hide from you. When Uncle Hai asked me to make this movie, he told me his purpose. He wanted to know whether the dead village you wrote about ever existed. This matter is unreliable in the first place, and he doesn’t want so many people to know—I think, even he himself doesn’t want to know the answer, so he didn’t find someone to investigate, and he couldn’t ask you directly. Just like the painting of Domi, he I want to paint a peacock, but I cover it up after I finish painting."

Cheng Tianlu felt deeply in his heart: "You mean, Uncle Hai made this film, just like Duomi painted this painting, because of an experience that cannot be eliminated but does not want to face. What does that mean? They are self-healing ?”

"Treatment..." Brother Qi repeated softly, "Who knows. Most of the wounds will not heal, and the scars will still itch. Maybe they just want to scratch the itchy place, but the wound can't be found anymore , I also forgot how I got hurt."

"No matter what happened to them, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to know, didn't Uncle Hai order you to poison Domi?"

Brother Qi smiled: "You might as well say that I slaughtered the whole village."

"If you want to be able to travel through time, it's not impossible." After sharing it with Brother Qi, his mood improved a lot, but he was still not at ease in the end, so he asked, "You really have nothing else to hide from me?"

Geer Qi opened the tablet and clicked on the drawing of the black-faced bikini girl: "I am in front of you, as if I have no clothes on." He wiped off the bikini, and smoothly painted the breasts and hair. "Except for Uncle Hai's privacy, I've told you everything I know. If you still don't understand, it's because you don't want to know. You clearly know it all, but you just cover it up."

The topic has expanded in unpredictable directions.Cheng Tianlu blushed, and once again shot at the poor naked girl, drawing a big cross: "This classmate, you are not allowed to make obscene pornography in my house from now on, I will destroy it once I see it!"

"Well, I won't paint in the future, can live-action performances work?"

"It's nothing, my own problem, I have someone in my heart."

"what?"

Cheng Tianlu pressed him on the sofa, "It's been a long day, aren't you tired? Let's sleep together."

Brother Qi felt crowded: "How can this sofa sleep two people? Hey, I'll go out and stay in a hotel."

"Don't go," Qi Ge'er's muscles felt extremely smooth, and his body exuded the refreshing smell of soap.Cheng Tianlu wanted to avoid Brother Qi with all his heart, but he clung to him completely disobedient and hugged Brother Qi tightly.

Brother Qi couldn't help but laugh: "It's so hot."

"Take off your clothes when it's hot."

"Fuck, don't touch me!"

"Where did you report the organ just now? After the small intestine is the large intestine? By the way, the intestine is so long, it would be too troublesome to pull it out. Let's change the way, how about eating the kidney first?"

Brother Qi patted his face and said with a smile, "What a fucking pervert!"

"Okay, I'll sleep with you on the couch tonight, and you can do whatever you want."

"Hey, you won't come into the room?"

Cheng Tianlu felt that it was necessary to explain clearly to Brother Qi: "I am innocent with Tong Yiru, and I never wanted to provoke this aunt. If the director is interested, he can try knocking on the door and see if he is willing to let you Come in for a play?"

"It's no wonder she wants to. When I'm blind, she clearly wants to fall in love with you. It's just as good. What doesn't suit you?"

The next morning, when Tong Yiru got up, he saw the two of them sticking together on the sofa. Qi Geer was lying on Cheng Tianlu's chest, and Cheng Tianlu's hand was inserted into Qi Geer's T-shirt, sleeping unconsciously. .

She sighed, thinking bitterly that she lost to such a strange person.She opened the curtain vigorously and called out, "Get up!"

The two people on the sofa opened their eyes in a daze, and while slowly struggling from sleep, they dragged themselves up from each other.Suddenly, Tong Yiru yelled in fear.

Cheng Tianlu immediately woke up, "What's wrong?"

"There are... eyes in that painting!"

Both of them jumped up, looking at the soy sauce painting that Geer Qi had scraped off.There is a face in the painting that glows, at first glance it appears to be blinking.Qi Geer walked over, scraped violently, and scraped out a large area of ​​shiny things.

"gold?"

The two peeled off the painting, and found that the peacock was covered with a whole piece of gold leaf.Brother Qi laughed and said, "Last night you said you wanted RMB to paste the wall, but today the RMB has become gold."

"I was wrong, 2000 million is not expensive for a painting, is it all gold underneath?"

Tong Yiru touched it: "It's all gold leaf, not worth much."

"Why put gold on the canvas? Brother Qi, you painters are so rich that you can't spend it all, are you lavish?"

"It's not necessarily rich, this gold has a special meaning." Qi Ge'er is rare to be serious, "Domi buried a peacock in the painting, and buried gold. Is it a clue about the ghost village?"

Cheng Tianlu remembered, "There is indeed a gold mine near that village, but the scale is very small, far inferior to the copper and tin mines."

The clues are endless, and no one understands Duomi's creative intentions. Brother Qi joked that maybe he is just afraid of his wife, so he should hide some private money.

No one has a clue about this matter, so they can only put it aside.Geer Qi drew a peacock on the side of the soy sauce painting according to the outline shape in the painting.Seriously picked up the paintbrush, Geer Qi's handiwork was quite upright, the peacock was painted beautifully and with neat strokes.

All day long, he was worried about the wall of his own house.The gold leaf is shining, the peacock is charming, and his white wall suddenly becomes bizarre.

After breakfast that day, Tong Yiru went to live in the hotel, and the two of them were left in the house.

Brother Qi said: "Our script has been cracked." "Cracked?" He was stunned all day long, but after thinking about it, it is normal for such subjects involving cults and massacres to fail the trial. "I thought you had a strong backstage, you could live through any ghost story?"

"I don't have a background. The policy is loose and tight, but it all depends on luck. Let's write another version of the story."

"Okay, I don't want to play anymore. You don't need to ask me what you want to make up." He now fully understands that Uncle Hai and Brother Qi's making this film has nothing to do with news events at all. They are interested in it. It's always the missing village that didn't make sense.The first edition of the story has already deviated from the massacre in the mine, and he no longer wants to participate in the second edition, the hundredth edition.

Brother Qi nodded: "Okay. I will move out in two days."

"Huh?" Cheng Tianlu was in a hurry: "Why are you leaving!"

"My sister went back to school after the exam. The family is peaceful, so I will go back to live."

Naturally, Chengtianlu couldn't stop Brother Qi from going home.He felt sad, and thought again, the only interaction between the two was the movie, if he quit, what excuse would he have to find Brother Qi in the future?So he immediately changed his words: "Cults, monsters, zombies, evil spirits, all of these are easy to be clicked, and those involving supernatural beings are sensitive subjects, so it is difficult to pass the review. How about we write a science fiction, how about the arrival of aliens?"
