The Prequel of Ukiyo-e

Chapter 5

Qingluo slept soundly, and in her sleep she seemed to be back when she was a child, when her brother Zhao loved and took care of her very much, she thought that if she could be brother Zhao's wife in the future, she would be very happy.Although there were some problems in the process, as long as she could marry Brother Zhao, whom she was thinking of, then she would die without regret.

A white light flashed, and a figure rose from the place where Qingluo was lying, looking through the icy moonlight, there was a brilliance flowing, but when the figure turned its head, there were two big black holes in the eyes.As it got off the bed and made a "cracking" sound, a complete skeleton was already standing in front of the bed, staring blankly at the bed with a pair of big empty eyes.

The originally plump body shriveled instantly after the skeleton was separated, leaving only a piece of skin.

The skeleton glanced at the human skin on the bed, and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, lovingly stroking the young and smooth skin, with no emotion in his empty eyes.

"Ah, the color of this eye seems to have faded." Touching the eye on the head, the skeleton hand stopped, and a pale skeleton claw with distinct bones touched the pale eye, its As she opened and closed her mouth, she actually let out a pleasant female voice, but it was particularly hollow, so cold that there was no trace of human touch.

After finishing speaking, the skeleton picked up the skin and walked to the table step by step. He did not know where to find a set of small cups, and placed them on the table one by one.Each small cup is filled with liquids of different colors, the black ones are thick and bright, the red ones are bright, and the blue ones are like Daisy. The table is full of liquids, as if opening a sauce shop, red, green, and green.

The skeleton picked up the paintbrush and dipped it in the black liquid contained in the small cup, and the shriveled wolf hair instantly became full.The skeleton glanced at the full strokes with satisfaction, and then carefully traced the eyes.

To be honest, if one ignores the fact that the person holding the pen is a skeleton, and the paper on which the painting is made is human skin, from a distance, its elegant and focused painting figure really looks like a beautiful lady .A stroke of a painting, a frown and a smile are dignified and virtuous.

"This should be fine, Brother Zhao will definitely like such eyes." The skeleton put down the paintbrush, picked up the skin, looked at the eyes and nodded, if its face is covered with skin and flesh at this time, then The corners of the mouth must be raised.

The skeleton put the skin back on the bed, and let the moonlight shine on the whole skin as much as possible. Tonight is the fifteenth day, and it is a good time to absorb the essence of the moon.After everything was done, the skeleton went back to clean up the small cups on the table, but stopped when he picked up the cup containing the black liquid.It turned out that it had used up the black paint when it painted the eyes just now.

"Well, it's gone, it's not good, what if the color of the eyes loses tomorrow. Alas, I have to look for prey again." Skeleton sighed and collected its paints and tools for painting.Not every time I go out, I can hunt prey that satisfies me. The color of some prey is not pure enough.

"His eyes are so pure in color. If he didn't have those tricks, he probably wouldn't glance at my Brother Zhao." When the skull thought of the handsome man in a white Taoist robe, he couldn't help but want to drool. It's just that it's just a skeleton now, so it's impossible to drool, "Well, let's not touch that person for now."

Night, silently.

In a small remote county town, everyone has long been accustomed to the life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Except for watchmen, few people will come out to walk around at night.

This quiet night was a little more eerie under the rendering of the cold moonlight.

The sound of the watchman making the watch came from far to near, and he only focused on yelling. He has been a watchman for so many years and he has been conscientious, and he has a good reputation among the neighbors.After more than ten years of fighting, it was safe and sound, so he became more courageous, but he never thought that he would not be able to see the sun tomorrow tonight.

He walked under the tree, and suddenly a smear of white floated down from the nearby restaurant, just facing the watchman with his back.

The white back fluttered in the night wind, outlining a graceful figure.

The watchman's first reaction was to meet the female ghost, and he immediately took a few steps back in fright.

The white figure slowly turned around, and as Nagada's voice sounded little by little, it added a bit of terror to the night.

The watchman was even more sure that he had run into an evil spirit, but when he wanted to run away, he was horrified to find that his legs could not move, and they were firmly attached to the ground as if they had taken root on the spot.

The moment the watchman raised his head, he saw a pale skull approaching his cheek. Before he could utter a scream, his eyes bulged, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets.

A pale skeleton claw slowly caressed the watchman's face, as if checking a treasure for flaws.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this face is really ugly, um, it's just for the time being." Recalling the jade-like delicate face it saw in the morning, the skeleton couldn't help but get excited, it really wanted to taste him.
