There are many fakes of famous paintings in history.
However, the two paintings facing the bed in Chen Yiqing's bedroom should not be fakes.
Whether they are paper or hanging scrolls, these two paintings have already acquired the unique yellowish color of time, and the most important thing is that these two paintings are not world-famous paintings, and there are no celebrity seals or other things on the paintings...
...To put it bluntly, it has no value at all for people to imitate.
The picture on the left shows an old man riding a donkey. The old man squinted his eyes, put his hands in his wide sleeves, and lowered his head slightly as if he was asleep, letting the donkey move forward on its own... Although this man was wearing a high hat.
The old man squinted his eyes, but Chu Yang had a feeling: This old man was looking at him condescendingly on the wall. The back of his neck felt cold just now. It was precisely because of this painting!
An old man in a painting could actually make the daring Prince Chu San feel a chill on the back of his neck without seeing him. This is indeed a creepy thing. If it were an ordinary person, it might have been a long time ago.
He held his head and ran out of the room.
However, although the painting of the old man was very strange, it was by no means the main reason that made Chu Yang tremble and freeze on the spot.
What really made Chu Yangmuli feel chills on the spot was that he had seen another painting on the wall on the right side behind him. This painting seemed to have existed for many years.
To be precise: Chu Yang had seen it in a vision before!
The painting is of a woman who is very beautiful and strange, especially her eyes, which allow people to clearly see a very distant era.
In the painting, there is a large group of shirtless slaves, who are being whipped by soldiers holding shields in their left hands and whips in their right hands in the desert scorched by the scorching sun. They are hunched over and pulling thick ropes with all their strength.
We walked hard along a road paved with yellow sand, but the other side of the rope was tied to a huge boulder.
This group of slaves dragged the boulders slowly forward under the whip. Far away, there was a majestic pyramid.
At the top of the pyramid, stood a very tall woman.
This woman is completely naked. Even her snow-white and towering chest and plump and mysterious private parts can be clearly seen. Her entire perfect body is in a colorful aurora, radiating from her whole body.
In the circular golden radiating line, there were many big birds with colorful feathers, circling up and down around her, but there was a white snake swimming around her body...
How could there be a portrait of this woman in Chen Yiqing's bedroom... Chu Yang stared blankly at the woman. When his eyes looked at her, and when the two people's eyes seemed to be in contact, he suddenly felt his heart pounding.
, followed by a big jump.
His heart beat suddenly and violently, making Chu Yang feel as if his whole body was about to explode into countless pieces and he couldn't breathe at all!
"Ah, ah!" Just when Chu Yang felt extremely frightened and wanted to shout with his mouth wide open, but could not shout a single syllable, a woman's voice sounded from behind him, with the kind of voice that makes you stand
Looking around on the grassland, but seeing nothing, the emptiness was very light but very clear: "Chu Yang, what's wrong with you?"
…
When people grow up, they will have more or less such a sense of terror once or twice: when their consciousness is absolutely clear, they are in a dark environment, and they want to shout or run away, but
But I couldn't move my whole body for a moment, I could only feel the horror that made my heart beat violently!
This phenomenon is called schizophrenia in medical terms, but among the people it is vividly called "ghost pressure".
Compared with the word "neurasthenia", the folk saying "ghost pressing on the body" seems to be more vivid in interpreting this great fear. It is a kind of fear that will make you break into a cold sweat no matter how brave you are.
Direct current is scary.
When a person is 'pressed' by a ghost, if he wants to get rid of this fear, he has to rely on external power: as long as someone touches him or says a word, even a child can relieve his fear.
As for Chu Yang, after seeing this painting, he felt like he was being suppressed by a ghost: he wanted to shout, but he couldn't make any sound. He wanted to jump out of the way, but his hands, feet, and eyelids were all gone.
Follow his orders.
Just when Chu Yang opened his mouth but couldn't shout a word, Chen Yiqing, who was lying on the bed with her back to him, turned over and sat up in confusion and asked in a low voice: "Chu Yang, what's wrong with you?"
These six words from Chen Yiqing were like lightning that cut through the dark clouds and a giant hammer that smashed the dark world. They suddenly pulled Chu Yang back from that terrifying hallucination.
"Ah, I, I..."
Chu Yang quickly lowered his head, staggered back to the bed, and sat down on the bed. As if he had lost all strength, he lay flat on the bed amid Chen Yiqing's low voice and hung his hand on the bed.
The mosquito nets around the corners of the walls were also pulled down.
Although Chen Yiqing was very angry with Chu Yang just now, she was still startled when she saw him like this. She didn't even care about complaining about him. She pulled the collapsed mosquito net aside, picked up his head and put it away.
He put it on his left leg, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a cold hand, and said anxiously: "Chu Yang, what's wrong with you?"
With his head resting on Chen Yiqing's elastic thighs, Chu Yang closed his eyes for a long time before he opened his eyes and said hoarsely: "No, it's nothing."
"It's nothing? It's nothing to make your face look so pale?" Chen Yiqing touched the man's cheek with some distress, and turned on the lamp switch on the bedside through the mosquito net.
When the lights on the ceiling and the table lamp were all lit up, Chen Yiqing's room, which Chu Yang had just felt so gloomy, suddenly became more alive.
"It's really nothing, maybe I just saw a ghost." Chu Yang said, sitting up and looking at the opposite wall again with some palpitations.
When Chu Yang looked at the two paintings now, they were just two paintings.
One painting shows an old man riding a donkey, and the other one shows a very strange and beautiful woman. Other than that, there is no special phenomenon happening at all. They are just two simple paintings.
Following Chu Yang's gaze, Chen Yiqing also looked at the two paintings.
Although Chen Yiqing was sitting behind Chu Yang and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly at this time, she could feel his heart palpitating, and her heart suddenly moved: "Chu Yang, do you think there is something fishy about these two paintings?
In other words, what do you see in these two paintings?"
Chu Yang's biggest wish at this time was to escape from this room. Even if he had to sit by the spring on the top of the hill all night, he didn't want to stay here any longer.
However, this guy is also a very strong person, especially when he is guarding a woman. If he is still so scared when he is sober, then how can he have the dignity to be called the boss in the future?
Therefore, Chu Yang did not run out, but after gritting his teeth, he turned around and grabbed Chen Yiqing's shoulders, and whispered: "Tell me first, where did you find these two paintings?
"
His gaffe just now was indeed due to these two paintings... Chen Yiqing raised her hand to wipe Chu Yang's cheek and said softly: "I don't know where these two paintings came from, because this house is
The old house of our Chen family is at least seventy or eighty years old. It was built before liberation. It existed when my grandfather was a child. Later, our family moved to Mingzhu for some reasons, and I also lived there since I was a child.
I grew up there, but I moved back alone a few years ago."
Chu Yang took a deep breath and then nodded: "You mean, these two paintings already existed when you moved back?"
Chen Yiqing replied: "Yes, before I moved back a few years ago, I thought that the old house had long been dilapidated, and I planned to spend a sum of money to renovate it. But when I came back, I found that the house had always been in the same condition.
Very good, even during the ten years of catastrophe in the last century, no one came here to 'destroy the four olds'. Haha, this is due to the respect of local government officials and local residents for Patriarch Chen."
Even though many ancient relics were destroyed during the catastrophes of the last decade, and most of the things were ruined due to the purported efforts to get rid of superstitions, some things, especially buildings, were destroyed by "people of insight".
It has been preserved, just like the Forbidden City in Beijing. It should be the largest Four Olds in the world. Why is it still so completely preserved?
To put it bluntly, no matter how deceptive the movement may be, the idea of "fear of divine objects" has been passed down in China for thousands of years, and this cannot be changed by just one movement.
Of course, compared with the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Chen family's old house is by no means on the same level, but the local people's respect for Chen is quite high, so it is still possible to preserve such an old house in a small area.
of.
Regardless of what the people at the scene who proposed protecting the Chen family's old home had their motives, what they did was undoubtedly correct.
After Chen Yiqing said this and saw that Chu Yang's mood gradually calmed down, she couldn't help but said: "You can smoke. In fact, if you smoke once in a while, it shouldn't do much harm to others."
Chu Yang didn't say anything, and he obediently took out a cigarette and lit one, like a beggar picking up a roast chicken, and took a deep puff.
When the spicy nicotine circulated in the lungs and was expelled, the fear in Chu Yang's eyes was reduced by more than half. It seemed that cigarettes still played a role in calming the nerves in many cases.
After coughing twice in a low voice, Chu Yang said: "I feel much better, please continue talking."
"Um."
Chen Yiqing nodded, held Chu Yang's left hand with both hands, sat cross-legged on the bed and said: "After I came back with the land deed, the local government quickly returned the old house to me. I just hired someone to tidy it up a little.
I moved in. It was at that time that I saw these two paintings for the first time, so I had no idea where these paintings came from.”
Chu Yang interrupted: "Didn't you ask?"
"I asked."
Chen Yiqing said: "At that time, I called my grandfather to inquire. He said that these two paintings had been hung here when he was a child. I didn't expect that they could be preserved after ten years of catastrophe. I was very happy about this and told him
I don’t want to touch these paintings...so, I haven’t moved them.”
