Chapter 12 The Crow Guides the Way

"Is Lu Yuqing the author of this painting? I've never heard of this name?" Xu Jian thought that he knew a lot of painters from all over the world, no matter how big or small, but Lu Yuqing had never heard of it.

The old man answered her: "Lu Yuqing is indeed just a little-known painter, but his paintings are very famous. And only one painting is famous. I wonder if you have seen this painting "Xue Yingmei" "The real thing?"

Xu Jian nodded: "Yes, that painting... seems to have some strange power."

The old man smiled: "That painting, the beauty is really beautiful, let me ask you, have you ever seen such a gorgeous plum blossom in real life?"

Xu Jian shook his head: "Indeed not."

The old man mysteriously lowered his voice: "This is where the painting is evil. Tell me, what is so popular in this world?"

Xu Jian took a breath, and said the conjecture he was most reluctant to admit: "Blood!"

"By the way, it's blood! According to rumors, this Lu Yuqing killed twelve young women and used their blood as paint to paint red plums, and the reddest and most colorful one on it was taken from his wife. Drawn with painstaking effort!"

What the old man said made Xu Jian get goosebumps all over his body. He killed people for painting, and even his own wife had the heart to kill him. What a cruel and terrible person.

Xu Jian asked: "Then why did he do this?"

"I don't know about that, and these are all rumors, whether it is true or not has yet to be verified. At the beginning, others paid a lot of money to buy the painting because it was really good. I haven't seen the real one, so I don't know it Is it really the same as in the legend, is it evil, and does it have any strange powers. But, having said so much, do you want to buy paintings, little girl?"

Xu Jian pointed to the fake: "I want this one."

When Xu Jian returned to the hotel, Li Manshui had already woken up and was sitting on the bed playing with his mobile phone.Seeing her coming back, he hurried to meet her.

"What is this, is it a painting?" Li Manshui looked at what Xu Jian was holding with some doubts.

Xu Jian spread the painting on the table: "It's a fake of the painting in the hotel."

Li Manshui leaned forward, obviously, she also noticed the seal on it: "Lu, Yu, Qing, are the authors of this painting? Strange, why didn't we notice this name when we were in the hotel?"

"Perhaps it's because the original painting was too evil, so we only noticed the red plum on it, and ignored the small seal." After Xu Jian finished speaking, he told her the rumor about the origin of "Xue Yingmei" Say it again.

Li Manshui was also very uncomfortable with this legend: "This Lu Yuqing is too cruel. Why did he kill so many people just to paint a picture, even his own wife? Could it be that he was demoted?" head?"

Xu Jian sneered: "People's hearts are terrifying and unfathomable. Maybe he was lowered, or maybe he did it on purpose."

Seeing Xu Jian's smile, Li Manshui didn't answer any more.

Although she knew the origin of the painting, the matter was not resolved. Xu Jian's dreams became more and more strange, and the dream tonight made her puzzled again.

In the dream, Xu Jian was standing in a bamboo forest, with a small bamboo house in front of him.

She looked around, there was nothing unusual, just when she was about to open the door of the bamboo house, a woman's voice came from inside, very similar to the woman's voice in the previous dream, but seemed younger and immature.

She was saying, "Xiao...Xiao..."

Although there was only one door between them, the voice seemed to be far away, no matter how Xu Jian heard it, he could only hear the word "Xiao".

"Xiao? Who is Xiao? Who is this woman calling?" Xu Jian raised her hand and was about to push the door, but the moment the door opened a gap, she woke up from a dream like falling from a cloud. up.

Xu Jian was panting heavily, pressing his hands on his temples, his headache was about to split, deep in his mind, he always felt that something was about to erupt, but after a while, the feeling disappeared again, as if it was just a simple dream, After waking up from the dream, everything disappeared.

Xu Jian leaned against the bed, recalling the female voice in the dream, she couldn't help saying that word: "Xiao?"

The tone of the woman when she called the word Xiao was gentle and loving, as if she was calling for some treasure.

But what is the relationship between "Xiao" and women?What is the relationship between women and paintings?Although Xu Jian had guessed based on the previous dream that the woman was probably one of the twelve young women who were killed, or maybe the wife who was killed.But these two dreams are short and thoughtless, they can't be connected at all, and I can't find a breakthrough at all.

Xu Jian knew that this was destined to be another sleepless night of trouble and confusion.

At this moment, Shi Fengyue is enjoying the cool in the yard, the breeze is blowing, the air is faintly mixed with the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, he doesn't seem to be sleepy at all, sitting at the stone table, pouring himself a glass of wine, but just took a sip , put down the cup.

Shi Fengyue sighed, a little sad: "although good wine is often available, beautiful women are hard to come by again."

"Ah———" The crow in the cage was a little restless, jumping up and down, as if he wanted to taste the sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

Shi Fengyue looked at the crow: "You said, do people really forget what they have experienced?"

The crow tilted its head to look at him, then continued to jump up and down again: "Yeah——"

Li Manshui felt that Xu Jian's condition was getting worse and worse. It seemed that since seeing that painting, she had become more and more wrong, overly persistent, and overly trying to find out the answer.

Especially when I got up this morning and saw Xu Jian, I was more determined. Her face was quite pale, without any color, and her lips were pale. Li Manshui couldn't help but think of when he had his first nightmare. The nightmare for about a month in a row made me almost collapse.

Li Manshui was very worried about Xu Jian: "Xu Jian, your complexion is so bad, otherwise we should stop worrying about this painting! Let's go back, if this continues, I'm afraid your body will not be able to hold on!"

Xu Jian didn't listen to her advice at all, didn't say a word, and continued to look at the painting on the table. She stared at the "Snow Reflecting Plum Blossoms" fixedly, stretched out her hand and gently stroked the plum blossoms on the painting. The branch of plum blossoms in the garden seems to be redder than the others.

"Yeah———" At this moment, a crow's cry came from outside. Li Slowshui followed the sound and found a crow standing outside the window, jumping up and down, and pecking at the glass with its beak, as if is to come in.

"It's the crow raised by Shi Fengyue." Hearing the voice, Xu Jian shifted his gaze from the painting.She went up to open the window and let the crow in.

After the crow came in, it flew straight to the painting on the table, and after bouncing twice, it stopped in one place.

Xu Jian looked at the place where the crow stepped, and it turned out to be the word "Lu Yuqing".

"Lu Yuqing?" Xu Jian looked at the crow, and the crow pecked at the word "Lu Yuqing" again, and then flew out of the window. It stood by the window and looked at the two of them.

Xu Jian seemed to understand its meaning suddenly: "Are you going to take us to find Lu Yuqing!?"

The crow tilted its head slightly and flew away, Xu Jian ignored it and jumped out of the window to follow.

Li Manshui turned pale with shock: "Xu Jian!!"

Fortunately, the two lived in a low-rise building, so Li Manshui hurriedly ran down the stairs to follow each other.

Xu Jian was standing downstairs, and the crow seemed to be waiting for the two of them, standing on the branch without moving. After seeing Li Manshui also followed, he flew forward and began to lead the way.

Wu Ya led the two of them out of Heyuan Town and walked towards more and more remote places. Li Manshui gradually felt that he was exhausted, so he called Xu Jian to take a rest: "Xu, Xu Jian, let's rest. Come on, after walking so much, I really can’t move.”

Xu Jian frowned and looked at Li Manshui, then at the crow, hesitant: "Otherwise, you can go back first, I will find it myself."

Li Manshui immediately jumped up when he heard her words. According to Xu Jian's current state, it was absolutely impossible for him to let her go to find that "Lu Yuqing" alone.

"No, we have to walk together, no rest, let's continue!" Li Manshui patted the dust on his body when he just sat down, and followed.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Manshui even felt blisters on his feet, but Xu Jian in front suddenly stopped.Li Manshui bumped into her immediately: "Ah!"

Li Manshui looked at the place where the two stopped. This place is slightly lower than the surrounding area. There are tall vines and tall trees growing in all directions. Although it is noon, there is very little sunlight that can penetrate, adding a sense of coldness. Qi.

"It's in the wilderness, don't talk about looking for that Lu Yuqing, it doesn't look like there is anyone living here." Li Manshui said

Looking at the crows all over the ground, I was brought to this place where the birds don't shit?

The crow ignored her eyes, flew towards the center of the pit, stopped in one place, and did not move.

Seeing this, Xu Jian hurriedly followed. She saw the crow start to jump, and then stopped to look at herself after jumping around.

Xu Jian frowned as he looked at this strange scene. The crow jumped around again when he saw her half-understanding.But of course she would not jump away, but follow the crow, wherever the crow jumped forward, she would step forward and step on that position.

Li Manshui watched worriedly.

The crow finally stopped, it looked back at Xu Jian, and finally jumped a position, then flew away.

Xu Jian hurriedly followed and stepped on it, but nothing happened.She waited for a few minutes, but there was still no change. Xu Jian was a little annoyed, wondering if the crow was playing tricks on him, and was about to leave.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened to the two of them.

"what!"

"Xu Jian!!!"
