Xu Huo walked past the place where the tour guide explained, and walked forward while eating bread. He passed several small shops with the Solan logo on the way, and he had visited all of them.
The locals told interesting stories about Solan's childhood, no matter whether the details were embellished or not, but judging from these stories, Solan was a precocious and very thoughtful and independent person, even in her childhood.
Easily influenced by the environment, and believes in oneself very firmly.
This turned out to be a retirement town. The layout inside the town was carefully thought out, and the colors outside the houses were mostly designed to make people feel happy. When Solan was a teenager, he liked to write and draw, and of course he learned a lot of lessons. However,
These things seem to be nothing now. When everyone recalls it, they will only think of Solan helping to restore the cola stain on the wall after being caught and apologizing. In addition, the neighbors felt sorry for her because she was a child and took the initiative to help with the work. But in fact
It made her laugh and cry as she prepared the tools for her next painting session.
There were not many young people and children in the town, so Xu Huo came to Solan's original residence under the guidance of the locals.
This place is now covered and can only be viewed from the outside. Some of the unseen furnishings can be supplemented by holographic projection.
When he arrived, there were three other players wandering around the house. One of the long-haired men used props to test whether the barrier could be opened, but he got a warning.
The nearby residents are not surprised by this scene. After all, people who have been looking for paintings for more than ten years have wanted to enter the house to have a look, so the barriers outside the house have been reinforced many times.
"You can just watch from outside," an old lady passing by said to the long-haired man: "Don't damage the house."
The long-haired man nodded quickly and said with a smile on his face: "I accidentally bumped into it. Old man, can I only stand outside and look at Master Solan's former residence? I am a tourist from out of town, and I came here with a tour group to visit."
"It used to be possible to go in," the old lady said, still a little angry. "In the past few years, some unscrupulous people were always prying off the floors and walls, which made everyone have to repair and repair, and even damaged a lot of them.
The toys that little Solan played with when he was a child are now simply not allowed in."
"Really, I don't know how these people's brains grow. If girl Ember was placed in little Solan's house, wouldn't we know? Many people in the town grew up watching her. What paintings has she painted?
Is it unclear? If I say it’s not available, it means it’s not available. Look for it somewhere else.”
The old lady waved her hand and left. She lived not far away, in the third hut across the street.
Seeing that they had gained nothing, the other three players looked at each other and left separately. Xu Huo came later. He walked around Solan's former residence. It could be seen that some of the furnishings in the house were newly replaced. Although they had tried their best to imitate
The style is from decades ago, but it is obviously different from the photos published by Jixin Terminal. Many places on the walls and floors have been replaced, making the whole house look half-old and half-new.
Probably because it is impossible to completely prevent those who are looking for paintings from destroying the house, the people in the town have not bothered to completely restore the house to its previous appearance. Judging from these traces, it is impossible for the "Embel Girl" to be hiding in this house.
Inside or underground.
After standing at the door, Xu Huo walked to the old lady's house that he just passed by.
The old lady lives alone, and she is preparing dinner at this time - because it does not require too much labor, many ordinary residents in District 019 are willing to spend their time cooking, and many dishes here take a long time to cook.
Xu Huo knocked on the door and said that he wanted to find a place to sit and help the old lady trim the flowers and plants in the yard.
There were hand-held pruners and other tools on the ground in the yard. Only one-third of the dense flowers and trees were cut, and the cut branches were not cleaned up.
The old lady's somewhat impatient voice came out through all the instruments, "Then come in, but don't touch my flowers and plants."
The courtyard door opened automatically, and Xu Huo walked through the small courtyard and entered the main room. The robot poured him a glass of water and invited him to sit down.
The technology in District 019 can already make simulated robots very close to real people. However, most of the housekeeping robots used in small towns are old-fashioned. Some of them are not even covered with simulated leather, and the mechanical parts are directly exposed. Old ladies use them at home.
That's it.
After marinating the food for dinner, the old lady came out and said, "Everything you want to know can be found on the integrated message terminal. I don't have any more news to tell you. Instead of pestering us old people, it's better to change places."
Go find it."
Xu Huo smiled and said, "Don't be angry, old man. Although I am also very interested in 'Embell Girl', I want to know more about Master Solan's past. I have traveled through many districts and have never seen such a genius. I just
It's a pity that she is no longer alive, otherwise I would definitely find a way to visit her."
The old lady had lived for a long time, and she didn't care about his words. Instead, she said: "Many people said so, but I actually knew why. I really don't know why little Solan wanted to die before he died.
If you say that, even her cemetery will not be able to rest in peace just because of that painting."
"Master Solan is a very unique person," Xu Huo said: "I found that most of her paintings emphasize emotions. Compared with exquisite machine paintings, her paintings can arouse people's emotions more. The technology of 019 District is advanced.
, machines have replaced most of the labor force, but her paintings can awaken people from this cold command relationship, which should be the reason why she is unparalleled in the world."
"The controversy over her painting has lasted for decades. She happened to say 'The Girl of Ember' before her death, perhaps to let people find this painting."
Secrets are only called secrets if they are kept underground forever. If the painting "Embel Girl" really existed, it would not have been painted by Solan after she was seriously ill. Her deathbed confession was very logical and she probably was not insane.
The nonsense of the Qing Dynasty, then she deliberately chose this time to reveal the painting, in order to use her death to push "The Ember Girl" into a wave of public opinion.
Naturally, no one knows her purpose for the time being. It may be a prank by a talented painter, or it may be a deliberate attempt to create a climax in her life. Of course, there are many possibilities, but no matter what the reason is, if she discloses this painting, it is naturally
She wanted people to find the painting, and she thought it was more than her peace of mind after death.
"What you said makes sense." The old lady seemed to be recalling, "Little Solan is very smart. None of the children who lived here before can compare with her."
"I see that there are almost no young people in the town. Have all the people who grew up with Master Solan moved away?"
