Chapter 4 Chapter Three

When I returned to Zuo Puxuan, the sun had already risen high. I was exhausted physically and mentally, and I pushed open the glass door of the gallery impatiently. "Hey! Isn't this the big star back!" The person who made fun of me was Qi Xiaojie. He was drawing at his desk at first, and when he saw me coming in, he said nonchalantly, "I said, Ma Da Actor, when can you bring back an Oscar statuette, or a golden bear and a silver medal?" Bears, bears are fine, you don’t care about the business of the gallery for so many days, what’s the matter, are you really planning to change your career to filming? It’s hard for you to be so confident when you grow up like this, I admire, I really admire!”

Qi Xiaojie's biggest shortcoming is his mouth. Although only on the surface, he looks quite upright, with a kind of handsome and cute appearance, but this bad mouth has offended many people, especially woman. Qi Xiaojie was my classmate in college. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts, his work has been quite difficult. He had to condescend to come to Zuo Puxuan to help, so he became the only employee of Zuo Puxuan and my personal assistant. Although he is the so-called The employees of the company are sometimes harder to serve than grandpa.Qi Xiaojie's job is very easy. He usually sits in the gallery and draws pictures while looking at the store. The finished pictures can be hung in the gallery for exhibition and sale after being framed, which kills two birds with one stone.

I am good at drawing flowers and birds, and Qi Xiaojie is good at drawing figures.In figure painting, he is best at painting Zhong Kui and Avalokitesvara.He has a rule when painting. When he is in a good mood, especially when he has a new girlfriend, he will paint Guanyin; on the contrary, when he is in a low mood, especially after a broken relationship, painting Zhong Kui becomes his only means of venting his emotions. At this moment, I just want to go upstairs to sleep, and I don't have the energy to argue with him.But when I passed the painting table and saw a whole stack of "Zhong Kui Catching Ghosts" on the desk, I knew that he must have lost love again.Qi Xiaojie is still very dangerous during the breakup period, it is best not to provoke him, it is okay to draw some Zhong Kui, but I really feel sorry for my old cinnabar.

Although Zhong Kui was born with a leopard head, ring eyes, iron face and beard, and a strange appearance, he was a man full of talent and knowledge.He has always been upright and upright, he treats people with integrity, and treats people with sincerity, so he has become the "blessing sage of the town house" in Chinese traditional culture. It is said that the portrait of Zhong Kui can drive away evil spirits in the town house. When painting, one must use high-quality aged cinnabar (cinnabar: the name of a mineral. Also known as cinnabar, cinnabar, and cinnabar, it is the main raw material for ancient alchemists to make alchemy. It can also be used to make pigments and medicines. ) the Zhong Kui drawn has the function of town house.My precious two taels of cinnabar was obtained with great difficulty. It is said that it is a relic from the Forbidden City, and it is of the same age as the cinnabar used in the painting "Wanshan Hongbian", which has repeatedly set new auction highs.So, when I saw a pile of "Zhong Kui's Picture of Catching Ghosts" and more than half of the precious cinnabar used, my heart was bleeding.

"What's the matter, do you feel sorry for your cinnabar?" Qi Xiaojie was obviously provoking me, maybe because of a broken relationship, he couldn't get rid of the boredom accumulated in his chest, so he wanted to find trouble and quarrel with someone.I knew him too well, suppressed my anger and ignored him, and went straight upstairs to the studio. Faced with my ignorance, Qi Xiaojie was a little bit mad immediately, he laughed coldly, "Hey, ignore me, okay, I'll find out that volume of 'Qianlong Gongxuan' in a while, and draw them all as Zhong Kui !" This can be regarded as pinching my weakness, the dozen or so Gongxuan are my favorite things, because they are too long to be rolled up, they are not put in the safe.

I know Qi Xiaojie's temper. If I continue to ignore him, it is very likely that those few Qianlong period Gongxuan will be in trouble, but I can't be intimidated by his arrogant arrogance. Sick cat, so I stopped, imitated his appearance and smiled coldly, stretched out my left hand and pretended to count. Qi Xiaojie was very puzzled when he saw this, "What's the matter, when did you learn to chant the curse, and you still want to curse me..." I pretended to be mysterious and shook my head, "No, I'm counting how many times this is the first time." "How many times?" Qi Xiaojie was even more puzzled.

"Yes, 30 times, exactly 30 times." I said to him solemnly, "Student Qi, is it the 30th time that you have lost your love? I have to learn from you, overcome difficulties and persevere." , Carry out the broken love to the end." To my surprise, Qi Xiaojie was not angry at my sarcasm and sarcasm.He threw the writing brush on the case heavily, then collapsed on the sofa as if he had collapsed, his eyes were slightly closed, and he had a miserable expression on his face. He was silent for a long time before he said: "Ruoshui, you said that I, Qi Xiaojie, is talented in both literature and martial arts. Everyone can do anything, why just... Forget it, go to sleep, and let me fend for myself."

"You're playing so deeply today." I yawned, and then I remembered my cinnabar, so I rushed to the desk, took the porcelain bowl filled with cinnabar in my hand, and ran upstairs in a hurry. Zuo Puxuan is a two-story building, the downstairs is the gallery, and the upstairs is my bedroom and studio.When I entered the house, I took the cinnabar and wanted to hide it in a hidden corner. The door of the closet opened and closed slightly to reveal a thin gap, so I walked over and opened the door, trying to hide the cinnabar inside.But when I opened it, I felt that it was a mess inside, and it was obvious that someone else had tampered with it besides me.

It's not accurate to describe it as messy. I just vaguely feel that the position of the clothes is different from what I remember. It seems that someone has turned it over and then carefully restored it to its original position.I knelt down and rummaged through it with one free hand. Soon, I found an object. It was a mask to be precise—a horror mask with a green-haired skull face.I bought it when I was out with my classmates on Christmas Eve when I was a freshman. The mask in my hand is not scary, but rather funny, but the moment I saw it, I seemed to think of many things.At this time, I was completely sleepy, and I went downstairs again holding the mask in my hand.

Qi Xiaojie in the gallery slowly raised his head when he heard the footsteps, and when his eyes moved to the mask, his acne-covered face immediately turned from red to white, terrified.Instinctively, he stood up from the sofa, with his hands hanging in the air by his sides, his mouth slightly opened, and he looked straight at me. Seeing that he was so flustered, I made a good guess and deliberately threw the plastic grimace on the ground heavily, and asked coldly, "Did you say it yourself, or call the police?" "Call the police? Ruoshui, you're scaring me again! I just dropped a beer bottle, and it's still empty. What's the matter, can the police still sue me for littering?"

Hearing what he said, I stepped forward and grabbed his collar, "It's really you? Why did you do this?" "I, I..." Qi Xiaojie stammered a few words "I" in succession, which made me very anxious. In order to let him tell the whole story, I decided to give him a heavy blow to his spirit, causing him to completely collapse , although this trick did lose some. "Do you know why I didn't come back until dawn?" I sat on the sofa with a vicissitudes of life, "That's because I just came back from the hospital..." Qi Xiaojie clearly sensed that something ominous was about to happen or had already happened. He quietly leaned against me and asked in a low voice, "Ruoshui, what's the matter? Why are you going to the hospital?" His voice lacked confidence. "Alas—" I elongated my voice on purpose, "Because... because the master cut him...he's an old man..." "What's wrong with the teacher's scissors?" Qi Xiaojie stared straight into my eyes.I secretly laughed in my heart, but my face was still covered with clouds. I raised my eyebrows, lowered my head slowly, and let out a heavy breath after a long silence.The expressions I made are worth a thousand words. Qi Xiaojie couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up abruptly and shook my body vigorously, "Ruoshui! I don't want to go to jail, you know I don't like cornmeal steamed buns the most, and I have diarrhea when I eat them. What should I do? Do it, if I really go in and eat cornbread every day, I will starve to death..." I turned my face to one side, I couldn't hold back my laughter, so I had to cover my mouth with my hands, and pulled the corners of my mouth down hard.Qi Xiaojie was imagining the scene when he gnawed corn bread at the moment, obviously he was not in the mood to take into account the changes in my expression. "I said classmate Qi, this... After all, human life is at stake, don't get excited, you sit down first." I said contradictory words solemnly, "Don't worry too much, the moon was dark and the wind was high last night, probably not People can recognize you, don't worry, I will definitely not say anything about it." "Ruoshui, good man! I will work hard in the future and make progress every day!" Qi Xiaojie raised his hand and swore. I pointed to the grimace mask under my feet, "This is physical evidence, I advise you to destroy it." "Yes, yes, it makes sense." As he spoke, he was about to burn the mask. I quickly snatched the mask away, "Wait a minute, tell me quickly, what the hell is going on with you, why did you sneak up on Kang Bing?" Qi Xiaojie muttered and couldn't speak, I didn't speak for now, just stared at him.This kind of gaze is magical, and it cannot be cultivated overnight. The timid will find courage, the frustrated will be encouraged, the sad will be relieved, and the ghostly person will be able to produce a kind of Acupuncture heart and lungs, restless feeling. Qi Xiaojie's skills were limited, and he couldn't bear this invisible pressure. After a while, he was defeated and decided to say something in order to lead this pressure to another direction. "Hate for taking his wife!" Qi Xiaojie gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes, and burst out such an endless sentence from his mouth. "Ah?" I was very interested, and leaned over to ask eagerly. "Ruoshui, you don't know something." Now that the topic has been brought up, Qi Xiaojie no longer hides it, "I just want to open a ladle on his head and let some blood flow. It's good if he doesn't end up dead. Who would have thought that he would be very agile?" , unexpectedly escaped a difficulty. I also saw that the bottle seemed to hit someone, but I never expected it to hit the teacher's scissors..." As he spoke, Qi Xiaojie was really moved, and his nose burst into tears. Speaking of tears made me cry a little bit sadly. It turned out that during the period when I accepted the drama of Kang Bing, Qi Xiaojie made a new girlfriend with big eyes, double eyelids, slender waist and long legs, who is as graceful as a flower, and is enjoying happiness unscrupulously.Maybe it was bragging in front of his girlfriend, Qi Xiaojie said that he knew people in the TV station, so he could recommend his girlfriend to audition to become an actor. Most of the vulgar girls are good at this. The girl dressed up beautifully and came to the set with Qi Xiaojie to visit. It happened that I went out with another group that day, and only Kang Bing was in the building directing the art set.In this way, Qi Xiaojie exchanged pleasantries with Kang Bing, and soon introduced his girlfriend to Kang Bing. Although in terms of appearance, Kang Bing is dark and fat, and cannot be compared with the handsome Qi Xiaojie, but women like directors, and the artist yelled "Kang Dao Kang Dao" one by one, so the girl took advantage of Qi Xiaojie's inattention and kept going. Wink at Kang Bing.Kang Bing's work is very intense. He writes manuscripts, interviews, organizes shooting, and cuts films every day... He is so busy that he can't even take care of his hair, wash his clothes, and talk about his girlfriend. Workaholics are people too, and they have needs. Kang Bing couldn't resist the temptation, so he hooked up with that girl.In fact, no one can blame the fact that these two love each other, but the more Qi Xiaojie thinks about it, the more he is wronged and the more he collapses. I have been busy shooting these days, and I didn't enlighten him in time, so just last night, Qi Xiaojie lost his mind by drinking to drown his sorrows, and came to the set with a beer bottle and a grimace mask in an attempt to cause trouble. evil fire. Seeing that the small building was too bright to commit crimes, he secretly found the power generation equipment, poured beer on the power switch to short-circuit it, and the black light went off, so he hid in the bushes and waited for an opportunity to retaliate.Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, I did not find the opportunity, because at that time, Kang Bing and I were exploring the secrets in the secret room.When the cold wind blows, Qi Xiaojie gradually wakes up, and when he is about to leave, Kang Bing runs out in a hurry. The enemy was extremely jealous when they saw each other, and his chest was full of jealousy, but there was a certain distance between the two of them, Qi Xiaojie clenched his fists hard, only then realized that he was still holding an empty wine bottle in his hand, and never came again, and with a whoosh, the bottle came out of his hand .At the same time, the wine was mostly sober, knowing that what he did was intentionally hurting others, so he ran away. This is the ins and outs of the matter. Speaking of this, Qi Xiaojie was already sobbing, "Ruoshui, you have never seen my girlfriend, she is so beautiful, I regret it to death, if I had known today, I would never have taken her to some damn set, it's all my fault You!" "Blame me?" I was baffled. "You said that if you paint honestly, it's over. Why do you have to make a film? My girlfriend is lost and I have to go to jail. Ruoshui, you have to keep it secret for me!" There is no right and wrong in the love between a man and a woman, but after thinking about it, this matter is indeed caused by me. Although it is not a serious problem if the master cuts it, Qi Xiaojie will inevitably be in trouble if he is tracked down.Thinking of this, I suddenly slapped my head, "Xiaojie, not only do you have to destroy the mask, but you also have to find that empty wine bottle!" "You mean, there are my fingerprints on the wine bottle?" He watched the suspenseful movie a lot, and walked out vigorously, "I'm going to get the wine bottle back!" I grabbed him and said, "You will undoubtedly have three hundred taels of silver here, are you afraid that others will not suspect you? Besides, Kang Bing is so smart..." "Then what should we do?" Qi Xiaojie ran out of ideas. "If Kang Bing had thought of this, he would have put away the wine bottle as evidence, and it is too late now. But he is busy studying the skeleton at this time, so he may have ignored the bottle long ago." "Then you have to take the bottle back. By the way, why is he studying skeletons?" "Let's talk about this later, in fact, I also have a mystery in my heart that needs to be solved urgently. How about this, when it gets dark, you and I will sneak into the small building and investigate." After finishing speaking, I yawned and ran upstairs. Sleep full until she is gently awakened by Qi Xiaojie.I opened my eyes and saw that he was dressed in black with a black mask on his face. I was startled and yelled.He quickly covered my mouth, "Stop barking, the time is just right, I'll wait for you downstairs." Halfway through our car ride, several armed police cars drove by. Qi Xiaojie was so frightened that he burst into tears.My heart was also beating wildly. Is it possible that the teacher has returned to his old age and frailty, so the police pay so much attention to it? "Ruoshui!" Qi Xiaojie's face was as white as paper, and he held my arm tightly, "I'm afraid we won't see each other again in the future. I intentionally hurt people, deliberately murdered, and I was either shot or indefinitely. Ruoshui, you and I are fine. Farewell..." I was about to say a few words to comfort him, when the taxi braked suddenly, and through the window, I found that the place far away from the abandoned small building was surrounded by water. Once something happens somewhere, it can be seen that there are too many idlers.I helped Qi Xiaojie out of the car, and he squatted on the ground, neither walking nor moving.At this time, I felt that something was wrong. Even if the police came to investigate the case, they would not be surrounded by so many idlers.I looked around and saw an old man holding a mazar and chatting with some people. He seemed to be a master who knew everything.So I left Qi Xiaojie, walked straight to the old man, stood behind him and listened intently. "Have you heard? All city government officials and experts are present. What happened in this building?" A bored person asked. "When I was a child, I heard that this building was haunted by ghosts. It was very evil. It was the Ching Ming Festival. Could it be that there are really evil ghosts appearing?" Another boring person said. The old man in Timazar curled his lips, "I live nearby. This old building has been vacant for many years, and there are indeed rumors of ghosts and gods. However, I walk around the neighborhood every night, and I haven't met half of them." "Then why is there such a big battle?" An old lady interrupted the old man. "Because I found a secret room that has been dusty for a long time in the building." The expression on the old man's face suddenly became mysterious, "What do you think will be in the secret room?" "What?" These people said almost in unison. The old man shook his head, "I don't know, that's why I came to watch the excitement." The crowd was very disappointed, and soon, these people dispersed. I was a little relieved, it seemed that it had nothing to do with the case of Qi Xiaojie's wounding, I went back to him, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't worry, these people are here for the secret room of the small building, it seems to be a case with the teacher It doesn't matter." Qi Xiaojie breathed a sigh of relief, and his spirit gradually recovered, "Ruoshui, what should we do now? Are you still looking for a bottle?" Before he finished speaking, a live broadcast car of a TV station drove into the crowd, and then the host held a microphone Start conducting on-site follow-up interviews.I saw Kang Bing in the group, and he also saw me, getting out of the car with the equipment.I took a step forward and asked, "What do you mean this is? It's like discovering the terracotta warriors." "Don't mention it." Kang Bing handed the device in his hand to the handsome man, and pulled me to a place where there were few people, "I don't know who leaked the news, you see, so many idlers don't know what the wind is, short In just one afternoon, the news that there is a secret room in this small building spread like wildfire, making it known to all." I thought to myself, such a big mess happened in the time I slept. I only heard Kang Bing continue to say: "The leaders in Taili attach great importance to it, and the leaders of the cultural and historical department in the city are more serious. They thought that there was some huge treasure hidden in this secret room, so the relevant cultural relics, cultural and historical experts in the city and The media reporters came here one after another. Sigh! I never thought that this abandoned building would be able to achieve some glory just when it's 'end of life'. It's really ridiculous and sad!" Kang Bing accidentally found Qi Xiaojie standing behind me, and the two of them looked at each other, feeling very embarrassed, so Kang Bing found an excuse and followed the film crew.Qi Xiaojie tugged at the corner of my clothes, "Is there anything else we can do here? Why don't we leave and go eat boiled mutton." What is heartless?Just now I was exhausted to the extreme, and seeing that the matter had nothing to do with me, I became greedy again.I stared at him and said: "What to eat, I think this matter is getting more and more complicated, come on, come in with me to find out the truth." Following the film crew, they were not blocked all the way. When they reached the door, the people in front stopped, and saw a female reporter holding a microphone and reporting to the camera: "This building has been abandoned for many years. It has received too much attention from the cultural management department. But once the secret door was discovered, the unexpected surprise was beyond words. Television stations and newspapers sent people to the scene one after another. All the answers were waiting to be revealed after the door was opened... Everything inside the secret door What is hidden? Is it treasure? Or is it a more shocking and precious cultural relic reappearing in the world? At this moment, curious residents have already crowded the building, and they are talking about it, guessing what it will be when it comes to light baby……" What the female reporter said was extremely suspenseful and provocative.At this time, the survey team temporarily formed by the Bureau of Cultural Heritage formally entered the site, and the seemingly professional ones were all wearing white gloves.Kang Bing commanded nervously, the enthusiasm was not inferior to the world premiere of the opening of the pyramid. Qi Xiaojie became curious and tried to sneak into the building pretending to be a film crew, but was blocked by security guards in uniform.I was trying to deal with the security guards when suddenly there was a commotion from the crowd behind me, and then a path flashed out.There were also two uniformed security guards who opened the way, followed by leaders of several cultural departments. In this group of people, I once again saw a familiar and funny figure. Unexpectedly, Shixing Jian had just suffered a severe blow, and instead of recuperating in the hospital, he came here again with gauze wrapped around his head to join in the fun.When he was young, he was indeed full of energy. Not only did he not look tired, but he also talked and laughed happily with people around him.Even though we were separated by several people, we still saw each other. The master scissors waved at me, and I nodded in response. This move confused the security guard who blocked us, thinking that Qi Xiaojie and I were also experts and scholars, so he stuck out his tongue and retreated quietly.At this time, Shi Xingjian also came up to me and introduced several leaders to me. After exchanging greetings with him, I sneaked into the small building. After the experts and leaders entered the arena, the security guards sealed the door of the building tightly, and no one else was allowed to poke around. Qi Xiaojie whispered to me: "Ruoshui, it seems that there is nothing serious about the teacher's scissors. Although there is a circle of gauze wrapped around his head, he still has the energy to join in the fun. You...you have to be careful when you speak, don't make me a confession." Get out!" Before I could answer, Shi Xingjian seemed to have heard something and walked towards us.Qi Xiaojie's lips trembled, and his face was full of smiles, "Teacher, long time no see, you..." Master Xingjian obviously didn't like to answer him, and said to me: "Ruoshui, you came at the right time. I was tossing and turning in the hospital, thinking about the situation in the secret room all the time. Although I heard a few words from Xiaokang, I still want to hear from you." opinion." I roughly told what I saw and heard last night. Shi Xingjian fell into deep thought, and Qi Xiaojie was also confused, so he asked with a straight face, "Is there really a skeleton? Teacher, what do you think?" Shi Xing raised his eyebrows, "Ruoshui, if it's as you said, then there is no formation in the basement, the old man thinks it's more like a game!" "What did you say - a game?" I was baffled. "No...hehe, it's nothing." Shi Xingjian smiled secretly. "What do you mean? I would like to hear about it!" Qi Xiaojie said. "You don't know. As you get older, you will learn a lot. Decades ago, when the old man was just transferred to the museum in the city as the curator, he heard some stories about this small building." Speaking of this, Shi Xing cut his eyes slightly and scratched the bandage on his head with his nails. I thought to myself, it's coming again, he's about to have a concussion, and he's still in a clouded mood.So I had no choice but to satisfy his vanity, and said extremely humbly: "Teacher is rich in knowledge and experience, and I hope you can give me some pointers." "The small building was built in the early years of the Republic of China. Not long after, there was a murder case in this building." Shi Xing cut his lips, because at this moment several leaders who had nothing to do were also surrounded, so he bought it even more proudly. Get up. "Has a murder happened? That's a haunted house!" said a fat man. "No wonder! As soon as I stepped into the building, my hair fell to one side, and I felt extremely cold." A middle-aged woman wearing glasses echoed. "Teacher, please tell me what kind of murder it is." A skinny man was impatient. Shi Xingjian looked at me and seemed to be asking, "Ruoshui, a warlord in the field was killed here, have you ever heard of it?" I shook my head intentionally, "I seem to have heard it a little bit. Could there be follow-up things happening later?" "Let's say that back then, a warlord walked out of the building after a party with his friends, half of his face was cut off by glass falling from the sky, blood and brains splashed all over the floor, and he died on the spot. It seems that this happened by accident, but few people know What's more, none of the windows upstairs was broken, so where did the glass that killed the warlord come from?" Shi Xingjian stared at the yellow eyes, as if asking everyone present, but of course no one could answer Such a question, so he smiled quietly, "At that time, the patrol team thought that there were assassins. After all, the warlord had offended many enemies during his lifetime. This speculation seems reasonable. There is also a rumor from the people that the glass was given by the gods. In order to kill this heinous person. Whether the rumors are true or not, the warlord is dead anyway, and it will be over once he dies, but the strange things that happened afterwards did not make this murder case go away." "Oh? Sure enough, there is a follow-up, Master, the assassination of a warlord has been reported in the newspapers, but I really don't know what happened after that." Even if Shi Xingjian is making up stories again, I want to continue to listen to him make up . "That night, the warlord's body was taken away by the patrol team. Wu Zuo wanted to sew his face on the warlord, but the half of his face was spread tightly on the concrete floor, and he couldn't get it off. Wu Zuo was worried that his face would be damaged. Responsibility, so I didn't dare to take it by force. Unexpectedly, a black cat jumped into the crowd, bit the flesh on the ground, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant. When the patrol team woke up, they saw that half of their face was torn off. For the most part, it has become completely unrecognizable. Some people say that the warlord has done so many evils that neither the sky nor the earth can tolerate his crimes. God chopped him to death, and the earth can't fit his half face, so it sticks so firmly. Some people say, That black cat was transformed by the soul of the warlord, and took his own face away. Leaving aside the rumors, since then, this small building has become a well-known evil place." The fat man who was next to the teacher said, "Evil place? Could it be that something strange happened?" "Whether it is rumored or groundless, the residents living around the small building said that in the middle of the night seven days after the murder, that is, the first seven days of the warlord, the weather was good that night, but just after midnight, there was sudden explosions around the small building. There was a heavy fog, which made the small building look ghostly like a hood. Some said they heard a meow, and some said they saw the bushes shaking violently. No matter what they heard or saw, no one had the courage to come out anyway. Find out." "The next day, the neighbors began to inquire about each other, and the most eccentric story was that a man passed by the small building in the middle of the night, suddenly, the foreground became more and more blurred, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously. , I saw a black shadow squatting not far in front. The drunk walked over and asked, "What are you doing?" The black shadow said he was looking for his own face! Someone squatted in the middle of the road in the middle of the night looking for face. Drunk people talk a lot, so he wanted to make a joke with the lunatic, "You are looking for face! I know... I will tell you when you stand up." The black shadow heard the sound Trembling, then slowly stood up, he turned his face to the drunk as he said, "Where is my face?" The drunk squinted his eyes, and was about to point to the face of the person opposite, but unexpectedly he saw..." Qi Xiaojie felt short of breath, and asked repeatedly: "What did you see?" "I see..." Shixing swallowed, as if he had been infected, "What he saw was an incomplete face, to be exact, half a human face, but the other half of the head It has a layer of long black hair, that... that looks like half a black cat's face. The drunkard immediately sobered up, rolled and crawled and fled." I really admire Shi Xingjian's ability to tell stories, and the hairs on my neck stand on end.He was clearly in the middle of the conversation, trying to carry the horror to the end, "It is conceivable how terrifying that face is... Later, for a long time, people who came home late at night always encountered strange things about someone looking for their face, So the more it spreads, the more frightening it becomes." The fat man just now asked again: "Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, does anyone still dare to live here?" "No matter how hot the topic is, there will always be a day when it cools down. Although the small building has been vacant for a period of time, after the founding of New China, the superstition was broken, and the small building welcomed its new owner again." Teacher Xing Jiandun After a pause, "However, when the small building was about to be demolished, a hidden door and secret room was discovered. This has to make the old man associate with the dusty past. I don't know if there is some kind of connection between all of this." The story came to an end for the time being, and the film crew had adjusted the equipment properly. The handsome man pointed the camera at the female reporter.Following the mysterious monologue of the female reporter, the mahogany door was slowly pushed open, and every audience present was brought into a mysterious situation. The dilapidated and white plastic doll looked up at a pair of human skeletons tied with wires in strange poses. This picture flashed in and out of my mind, from blurry to clear, and then from clear to blurred. Create a sense of déjà vu.At this moment, another picture appeared in my mind. It was an old painting on silk. Slowly, the two pictures gradually overlapped... I opened my eyes wide and suddenly understood something in my heart. The female reporter disappeared into the secret door in fear, and it didn't take long before she climbed up in a panic.Kang Bing explained that the purpose of making such a big show tonight was to play a publicity role. When he returned to the editing room, he would edit the clips that just opened the mahogany door with the shots we shot last night, and the female reporter’s incitement Sexual monologues can be made into a very popular TV documentary. The reason why this matter was publicized and so many leaders of the cultural department were invited, in fact, it was all for hype, to increase the popularity of the film, to attract the placement of advertisements, naming rights and so on.Now everything looks at "money", and everything is for profit. Besides, everyone is living a mediocre life, and they really need some novelty to stimulate them. People need money if they want to survive. I nodded understandingly. I guess the leaders I invited would also have to give red envelopes before leaving, which is not a small expense.Many leaders were not interested in going down to the secret room, and after a while, the idlers who were watching the excitement around the small building also left one after another. Although Shi Xingjian never dared to go down to the secret room to see it in person, he was still interested and invited me to go to the TV station to watch the samples shot yesterday.I slept for a whole day, and there was nothing to do when I went back, so I broke up with Qi Xiaojie, got in the interview car and went to the TV station with Shi Xingjian.
