Chapter [-] Old is not as good as new

Chu Huan frowned and asked in wonder, "Why did the medicine man stare at this painting before he died? There must be something to do with it, maybe... he knew we would come eventually, so he wanted to leave some kind of message for us."

Liuli was also puzzled and said, "What Gongfu said makes sense, but...the painting doesn't look special...!"

Chu Huan had already taken off the calligraphy and painting from the wall. The wall behind the calligraphy and painting was still made of wooden boards. He reached out and knocked, but there was nothing strange. He felt strange and spread the painting on the table. At the side, staring at the calligraphy and painting, seemed to be thinking about something, thought for a moment, and then said: "There are words and paintings on it, if Yao Weng really pointed out something to us, then is the secret hidden in the paintings, or in the words? "

Chu Huan said thoughtfully: "Perhaps the calligraphy and painting have meanings, but the murderer who killed the medicine man must not be an ordinary person. If the medicine man really wants to convey a certain meaning to us, he must avoid it." Those enemies, you can't let them see through their flaws...!"

Liuli stared at the goshawk in the painting, her willow eyebrows suddenly stretched slightly, and asked, "Gongfu, look at this painting, is there anything special about it?"

Chu Huan took a closer look and said, "The brushwork is vigorous and powerful, lifelike...!"

Liuli glanced at Chu Huan, and said, "It's not about that, look... look at its claws and eyes... well, and its mouth!"

Chu Huan glanced at it, but couldn't see any clues, so he could only ask: "Ma'am, what do you mean?"

Liuli swayed her waist lightly, walked to the room with bookshelves, and quickly took out a pen and ink from it. Chu Huan didn't understand what Liuli wanted to do, but saw that Liuli had already dipped in ink, and picked up the pen to paint on the painting. She wrote lightly, but saw that she drew four lines along the goshawk's mouth, eyes, and claws, and the four lines finally intersected into one point. Liuli's willow eyebrows stretched, and her eyes lit up, saying: "It seems that there is no wrong."

Chu Huan knew that Liuli was very intelligent, but he still didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Liuli's gourd, so he couldn't help asking, "Ma'am, what does this mean?"

Liuli has already explained: "Look, Mr. Fu, this painting looks ordinary, but it has a lot of meaning. Although the goshawk is flying high, but... its eyes are looking down...!"

Chu Huan took a closer look, and it was indeed the case. Liuli continued to explain: "Its two claws did not spread out, but closed. Both claws are like hooks, and the hooks of the two claws point to the same direction. a place."

"Ma'am is very true." Liuli had drawn it in detail at this time, and Chu Huan suddenly understood, "There is also its beak, um, ma'am, if you don't look carefully, this goshawk is very ordinary, but after your explanation, It seems that the painting of this goshawk is very incongruous." I only felt that Liuli could see the flaws in this painting in this moment, and couldn't help but admire: "Madam is really smart."

"Grand Fu is too famous." Liu Li said softly: "My father once domesticated a goshawk like this, so I know a little about the goshawk's habits. When this goshawk flies, several places are inconsistent. , so we can see some flaws."

Chu Huan smiled, then frowned and said, "Ma'am, what does this mean?"

Liuli shook her head, also a little puzzled, but Chu Huan had already reached out her hand to touch and press the intersection of the numbers, but she didn't know if there was anything hidden in the scroll. An ordinary piece of drawing paper, nothing special about it.

Liuli re-read the poem lightly, her brows furrowed, obviously she couldn't understand the meaning.

"Gongfu, the old man of medicine has passed away, let's bury him first, and put him in peace." Liuli looked at the old man of medicine, saddened.

Chu Huan nodded in agreement.

Both Qi Hong and Tian Hou had already called up their subordinates and searched carefully around the Medicine Valley, but found nothing, and found no suspicious person.

As it was getting late, Chu Huan ordered the medicine man to be buried in the ground, and Liuli personally made a token for the medicine man.

As the night fell, the medicine valley was quiet, but the deathly silence carried a dangerous aura. The medicine man was about to die. Chu Huan personally searched the medicine man's house carefully, hoping to find useful information. I went through the few books in the collection, but I really didn't find anything worth noting.

Chu Huan did not want to stay in the Valley of Medicine, and comforted Liuli, hoping to take the painting with him and leave the Valley of Medicine overnight, and study the painting carefully later, hoping to get something useful from it. [

Mrs. Liuli obviously knew that there would be more benefits in this medicine valley, and everyone cleaned up. Chu Huan even asked people to collect all the books collected by the medicine man and take them away. After returning, they will study them carefully.

A group of people came out of Yaoweng's yard, Yelang was starry, everyone was talking, suddenly Liuli stopped in her tracks, Chu Huan went over, and asked softly, "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Liuli's beautiful eyes shone brightly, and she said, "Master, I... I seem to understand something!" Before Chu Huan could speak, he asked, "Where's that painting?"

The painting was in the hands of Tian Hou, and he hurriedly brought it over. Liu Li took the scroll and ordered: "Commander Tian, ​​you all wait outside, Gongfu, follow me." She looked quite agitated, and walked quickly there Turning back to the yard, Chu Huan took a torch and also ordered: "You all stay, be careful." Holding the torch, he followed Liuli quickly.

Entering through the Liuli gate, Chu Huan had already found the oil lamp in the house and lit it, Liuli had turned around and asked, "Gong Fu, is this painting hanging here?"

Chu Huan went forward, found the nails on the wall, added a scroll from Liuli's hand, and hung it up again.

Liuli quickly took out the brush and ink again. After dipping in the ink, she slightly rolled up her sleeves, showing the forearm of bullying Saixue. Seeing that the scroll was tilted, she said to Chu Huan, "Gongfu, please take this painting Hang it upright, don't have the slightest tilt!"

Chu Huan knew that Liuli had found the clues, so he cooperated with all his strength and carefully hung the scroll upright. Liuli confirmed that there was no problem with the painting, so he stepped forward. The brush started from the intersection point that had been marked before, and followed the direction, and the brush spread down, taking advantage of the trend And below, since the beginning of the painting, the brush has slowly drawn across the wall, extending to the base of the wall.

While Chu Huan was curious, Liuli raised her head and said, "Gong Fu, is your knife usable?"

Chu Huan pulled out the blood drinking knife, approached it, and asked, "Madam, do you want to use a knife?"

Liuli had already pointed to a place on the floor, and said, "Can you pry open this place with a knife, Mr. Fu? If Liuli's guess is correct, you should be able to find something under here."

Chu Huan understood, "Ma'am, you are saying that the goshawk in the painting is flawed, it was intentionally done by the medicine man, and this painting is just pointing out a direction?"

Liuli said: "I'm not sure, but I always feel that there is a possibility. I've thought about it for a long time. The medicine man is a cautious person. His father once said that no matter what the medicine man does, he will arrange it from front to back. It's all right. Since the drug man used extraordinary means to send the message to Liuli, it proves that the drug man himself knows that he is in danger, and he will definitely guess that his life will be in danger at any time!"

Chu Huan said solemnly: "Of course that's the case. If he hadn't been in a dangerous situation and had noticed something, he wouldn't have bothered to send a message to Madam...!"

"As Gongfu said before, when the medicine man came to us, he must have something to tell, and Liuli guessed that it should not be a trivial matter, otherwise those wicked people would not kill people to silence them." Liuli frowned, and said softly: "Since it is It's a very important matter. Of course, the medicine man would think that once he was killed, he would leave us clues... Perhaps he had planned this matter in his heart long ago, prepared for the unexpected, and the clues he left could not be seen by others Easily see through...!"

Chu Huan nodded and said: "Madam's words are very true, that's why the medicine man spent a lot of time to tamper with this calligraphy and painting." Wondering: "How can Madam know that this painting is to point the way? Madam has only seen it not long ago The drug man, if the drug man really has something important to tell, he should take the opportunity to tell his wife at that time. Since he didn't say it, it can be seen that at least when he met his wife last time, either the drug man was not a big deal, or he hadn't. I’m going to tell Madam, since that’s the case, naturally I’m not planning to leave any clues…!” Pointing to the calligraphy and painting on the wall, “This calligraphy and painting has been around for a long time, in fact, it may not really be the medicine man’s intention. The clues left behind, because... there is a problem with the timing, the clues that the medicine man wanted to leave to guide his wife were at the earliest after parting with his wife last time, and this painting seems to be more than ten years old...! "

Liuli sighed: "What Gongfu said is very true, and it is precisely because of this that Liuli also thought it was weird at first, but now it is confirmed that this calligraphy and painting is the clue left by the medicine man, and it is carefully prepared for us. .”

Chu Huan wondered, "Why did Madam say that?"

"Gong Fu, when you look at this painting carefully, do you really think it is many years old?" Liuli shook her head and said, "In the beginning, Liuli was almost concealed from it, but when he left tonight, he wanted to understand the key points, so that's what he said." Suddenly woke up."

Chu Huan walked to the edge of the painting, looked at it for a while, but still didn't find anything different, Liu Li said, "This is the genius of the medicine man, and the father-in-law is also a well-informed, smart and wise person, and even you didn't notice it. The flaws in it are naturally difficult for those with ulterior motives to discover." She got up, walked to Chu Huan, and said softly, "This painting is a new one, and it has not been older than three days!"

Chu Huan was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Three days?" Look at the calligraphy and painting, withered and yellow with a little wrinkle, no matter how you look at it, it cannot be a new work that has only been out of the oven for three days.

"Don't forget, Mr. Fu, this is the Medicine Valley, and the owner of this room is the medicine man." Liuli sighed softly, "He is a real master of medicine, he can not only develop good medicines to cure diseases and save lives, but also create poisons to kill people. , in addition, other medicines can be made...!" Staring at the painting, he said softly: "The medicine man's medicine can completely turn a new work into an antique that is hard to see through!"
