Chapter 10 "The Moon and Sixpence" 005 Say what you want
Sandro praises Bai Luo.In addition, Bai Luo himself was indeed quite talented, so he quickly established a foothold in the Paris painting circle. In just over a year, his fame was even close to that of Sandro.

Bai Luo counted the money all day until his hands softened, and he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

Sandro is also very happy for this once impoverished young man from the bottom of his heart.

…………

Bai Luo divided more than half of the money he earned and sent it home.His ex-wife used the money to open an office, and the small business was booming, so she brought her two children back to her side.His son returned to private high school.After such a period of ups and downs, the young man studied hard, and it is said that he has been assigned a place to be sent to Cambridge University by default.

Bai Luo was in high spirits, treated Sandro to dinner and drinks, and showed off to him.Sandro listened attentively and praised him.

After showing off and showing off, Bai Luo brought up this matter again.

"She is really capable! Also, my son will be able to go to Cambridge in two years!"

Sandro looked at Bai Luo, feeling uncomfortable.

"Aren't you divorced?"

Bai Luo: "Hahaha, I'm also happy to see them living well after divorce."

Sandro: "Then what are your plans in the future? Remarry someone?"

After I finished speaking, I felt a little lonely.

Bai Luo shook his head.After all, he is not a pure man in his bones, so the idea of ​​finding a woman to live with is not very cold.

He smiled: "I don't want to go back and disturb other people's lives. Just know that they are doing well."

He stood up suddenly and put his arm around Sandro's neck affectionately.

"But let's talk about it. Brother Sandro, look, you don't have a daughter-in-law, and I'm divorced. If it doesn't work, let's live together in the future? A bachelor with a bachelor, life is sweet and messy."

Sandro was startled, and his heart skipped a beat.

"what?"

Before he had time to say more, Bai Luo let go of his neck and laughed.

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding you."

The loneliness in Sandro's heart returned again, with a somewhat angry look on his face.

"Is that how you respect your seniors? Did you push your nose on your face?"

Bai Luo hurriedly apologized.

Sandro was really angry, ignored him, and went to drink and cut the steak by himself.

…………

Sandro has been having a rough time of late.

The old dean of a certain academy of fine arts in Paris personally named him, saying that he "always played around the corner and undermined the solidarity and mutual assistance between the French Empire and the various colonies." This passage was published in the newspaper.Orders for Sandro's works have plummeted, and revenues have dropped a lot.

Someone came to Bai Luo and said, "I'm afraid Sandro will be punished by the superior sooner or later. If you really want to develop in the long run, you might as well keep a distance from him from now on."

Bai Luo laughed a few times and dealt with it verbally.

…………

Bai Luo once went to chat with Sandro.The two did not stay in the house, but walked along the banks of the Seine, chatting and wandering.

The river breeze was gentle, cool and refreshing, messing up Bai Luo's hair at the temples.Sandro helped him cut his hair back, and Bai Luo clearly felt some tenderness from the thick man's fingertips.

Sandro suddenly opened his lips.

"Chrisland, do you know what was painted in the painting you saw when you first came to my art exhibition?"

Bai Luo shook his head, at a loss.

"The painting is about the favorite tree of the people in my homeland, the Saibo tree. Some people call it the kapok."

Bai Luo's heart skipped a beat.

Sandro went on to say: "I was born in my home country, and I have a quarter of the blood of the aborigines. My grandmother was an aborigine in my home country and has been dead for many years. The deceased is dead, may she rest in peace.

I came to Paris alone at the age of 17, was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts, and became a well-known painter.However, I have never dared to forget my hometown. "

Sandro turned around and looked at Bai Luo.

"You also know how the French colonists treated the indigenous people in their colonies. Over the years, while I was painting in Paris, I never forgot to speak out for them. Of course, I am not a fool. I can only speak for them in my own country. In the works, they may use their reputation to publish a few articles in newspapers, just to play around. When the wind is tight, they will shut up, and when the wind is loose, they will say more. But the higher-ups are not stupid, and they will be annoyed if the ball is too much. , They need people like me to shut up. This time, it is said that someone from above is already eyeing me.

The dean's warning was just the beginning of it all.I'm going to be straightened up soon. "

Sandro sighed.He took out a pipe from his bag, lit it, and smoked a little depressed.

"Chris Rand, if you continue to get so close to me, I'm afraid you will be affected a little bit by then."

Bai Luo smiled.

"I know, I've been told.

But so what?My wife and children are living a good life now, and I am not in France, so I have nothing to worry about.

I can have today's fame, all because of you.I can't do the kind of immoral thing that sells friends for glory. "

Sandro gave him a deep look.

Sandro suddenly bent down and embraced him.

Bai Luo was startled.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Sandro gently rubbed Bai Luo's hair with his side cheek.

"Chris Rand, thank you."

Bai Luo's body froze, and the base of his ears felt slightly hot.

…………

Something happened to the motherland.

Some aborigines were forced to make a living and launched an uprising.But the uprising was just scratching the itch for the colonists' army.These rebels with earthen guns and sickles were quickly suppressed and slaughtered.

The French found the native tribe where the uprising broke out.Most of the remaining people here are just old, weak, sick and young, and have surrendered.

The French slaughtered the tribe regardless of 21.

Afterwards, he published the process of his suppression of the rebellion in domestic newspapers.They beautified their own conduct of war, only easily rewriting the massacre as "annihilation of rebel tribes".

When Sandro saw the news, he was so angry that he threw the newspaper on the ground.

Bai Luo gently held his hand and said, "Let's speak out together."

Sandro: "If you do that, you're in big trouble."

Bai Luo said with a smile: "I'm not afraid. There are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I'll just accompany you through it."

…………

Bai Luo put all his money into holding the largest art exhibition ever, and invited many celebrities to the scene, and also secretly invited Sandro.

They gave speeches at the art exhibition, denounced the massacres of the French army and the colonial government, and they cursed bloody.

Celebrities all changed their complexions.

The massacre of the aborigines had been quietly circulated in the society, but after they publicized it, it quickly turned into an uproar.

Their move also distorted the noses of some officials above.

…………

After the two of them scolded, they didn't care about the paintings in the art exhibition, so they hurried home to pack their things and prepared to run away.
