Xia Lan, who was sleeping soundly, was also woken up. When her cousin said that the ancient painting had been found, she was very excited and hurriedly followed her. After entering the bedroom, she hurriedly asked: "Where is the ancient painting?"
"Here it is." Qiu Yu handed over the object in his hand. Xia Lan took it in his hand and unwrapped the plastic sheet, revealing the cherry wood scroll inside. He saw that both ends were patinated, ruddy and simple, and rolled in
The canvas together is a little yellowed and looks like it has been around for a long time.
Seeing that Xia Lan was about to open the ancient painting to check its authenticity, Qiu Yu hurriedly said: "Do I need to avoid it?"
Xia Lan turned her head, rolled her eyes at him, and said angrily: "What are you avoiding? You are not an outsider." She bent down, put the ancient painting on the floor and slowly opened it.
As the snow-white jade hands moved, an ancient landscape painting was gradually revealed and displayed in front of the three people. It was a rolling mountain range and an empty and quiet valley, reflected by the setting sun, which was quite artistic.
What surprised Qiu Yu was that the technique of this painting was completely different from Chinese landscape or meticulous painting, the colors were bright and lifelike, and the inscription next to it was in Japanese characters, "Inherited for thousands of years!"
It was also the first time that Lin Xueshan saw her cousin unfold this painting. When she glanced at it, she said in surprise: "It turns out to be a Japanese Ukiyoe painting."
Xia Lan nodded, "Well, it's just such a painting. According to my father, it's very commemorative and asked me to keep it well. I really don't know what Xiaolian thinks. I don't want to steal so much cash and jewelry, but I want to
Stealing this ancient painting which is not very valuable?"
Qiu Yu didn't respond. At first, he looked at the painting with great interest. However, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find the mystery hidden in it. He secretly wondered in his heart, what kind of treasure map did they say this was, and he couldn't even look at it?
Looks like it! After looking at it for a while, he became uninterested and moved his eyes to Xia Lan who was squatting on the ground. He looked along the collar of her nightgown and stared at the edge of the pair of snowy mountains. He secretly sighed that the ditch was quite good.
Deep! He glanced twice, fearing that others would find out, so he quickly looked away and asked: "Please carefully identify the authenticity of this painting and see if it is the original one?"
"Yes, it's the painting that was stolen from me." Xia Lan replied firmly.
Lin Xueshan asked: "Xiao Yu, did you catch Xiao Lian? Where is she?"
Qiu Yu responded: "She was injured and looked quite pitiful. After handing over the painting, I released her. Sister Shan, Xia Lan, according to Xiao Lian, many people are worried about this
Where’s the painting?”
"Why?" Lin Xueshan asked puzzledly.
"She said there might be some secret hidden in this painting." When he said this, Qiu Yu glanced at Xia Lan's face to see how the other party would react.
"Secret...what secret?" Confusion filled Xia Lan's face, "Isn't this just a painting?"
Observing the words and expressions, Qiu Yu didn't notice anything unusual, and wondered in her mind whether she really didn't know that this painting was a treasure map, or was she just pretending to be confused. Forget it, I just did my job well.
He shook his head and said, "She doesn't seem to know this and didn't go into details. However, in order to prevent the painting from being lost again, you must find a hidden place to hide it."
Lin Xueshan nodded in agreement, "This makes sense, just in case."
Xia Lan said with a grimace: "I hid it well before, but Xiaolian found it and stole it. Where else could I hide it?" She almost helplessly rolled up the ancient painting and wrapped it in plastic cloth.
He stood up, handed the painting to Qiu Yu, and said, "You can keep it for me first."
"You gave me such a precious thing for safekeeping, aren't you afraid that I will disappear with the painting?" Qiu Yu felt surprised and asked with curiosity on his face.
Xia Lan said solemnly: "I believe you wouldn't do that."
Lin Xueshan nodded approvingly, "Well, Lan Lan's idea is completely correct. The best way to keep the painting is to leave it to you. You are the person we trust the most."
Qiu Yu was very touched by the attitude of the two sisters. In this era of lack of credibility, it is really not easy to make people trust so much. He reached out to take the painting and nodded vigorously, "Okay, I will do my best to protect the painting.
You guys go to bed first, I have to go out."
Xia Lan asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
Qiu Yu smiled and said: "A very hidden place, I hide the painting."
Xia Lan hurriedly said: "Can you take me there?"
Qiu Yu said in embarrassment: "It's a long way, so you'd better not follow me."
"Oh." Xia Lan was slightly disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mentality and said, "Then go ahead and come back early."
Lin Xueshan also asked: "Xiaoyu, please be more careful."
Qiu Yu nodded, "I will." He opened the door and walked out, carrying the ancient painting, and disappeared into the vast night.
At 3:30 in the morning, Qiu Yu rushed to Kongshan Temple and entered the Main Hall. He opened the mechanism and entered the tunnel. When he came to the secret room, he stuffed the ancient painting into a half-man-high general jar in the corner. In his opinion, here
It's a very safe place, and the painting should be safe here.
After hiding the painting, Qiu Yu emerged from the tunnel, pressed the button and returned the Buddha statue to its original position, sealed the entrance, and returned to Jiangyang overnight...
In the early morning, Qiu Yu, who was a little tired, returned to the Lin family villa. When Lin Xueshan heard that he was back, she hurried downstairs and asked him to have breakfast on the second floor. Although Qiu Yu refused and said that he could eat downstairs, he was still dragged up.
Upstairs.
In the restaurant on the second floor, sitting next to the elegant European-style dining table, Xia Lan, with her straight hair tied casually into a ponytail, wearing a sky blue Kappa sportswear, looks full of youthful vigor.
Xia Lan had been waiting. When she saw two people coming in, she looked at the boy, pouted dissatisfiedly, and said angrily: "You are so arrogant, you have to ask my cousin to invite you in person before you come here?"
Qiu Yu chuckled and said, "It's the same wherever you eat. Besides, eating next to a beautiful woman will be stressful."
Lin Xueshan smiled and joked: "What's the pressure? Can we sisters eat you up? We have been busy all night and we must be very hungry. Let's sit down and eat."
They were all young people, and they had no unresolved knots. They chatted and laughed for a while, and it felt like they were back in the past, when the restaurant was full of harmony.
The breakfast was very rich, including shrimp dumplings, steamed dumplings and various side dishes. Qiu Yu was really hungry, so he started eating and drinking without ceremony, gobbling it down, which was in sharp contrast to the gentle and elegant sisters next to him...
After breakfast, Xia Lan asked: "Qiu Yu, you haven't been to school recently. What have you been busy with besides looking for Xiaolian?"
Only then did Qiu Yu remember that he hadn't told them about opening a clinic yet, so he said: "I am also busy with a small matter. I am planning to open a clinic. The preparations are almost complete and it will be opened soon."
