Almighty painter

Chapter 493 Evacuation Day

The brush brushes across the linen surface, as softly as a bird flying across the lake.

First there were thunderclouds rolling in the sky, and then there was the elongated glow on the stained glass. Thick paint was wiped layer by layer into the gaps in the fibers of the cloth with the tip of the pen.

then.

The heavy rain all over the sky soaked the canvas in front of the young man, blending with the continuous raindrops in the continuous night sky outside the window and the continuous thunder.

Boom.

The sky in the distance was first illuminated by lightning, and almost instantly, huge thunder followed, like a whip pulling away the air, making a thunderous sound.

The ground seemed to tremble.

The old-fashioned folding window that was not locked seemed to have been struck by the whip, and was violently pushed open by the wind.

The cold wind carried the summer rain and poured in through the open windows. The curtains were rolled up, and all the papers and sketchbooks in the room that were fixed were rustling in the wind.

Their cats are sent to pet hospitals for specialized desensitization training.

The civet cat arched its back in disdain, its amber pupils turned and turned, facing the lightning and thunder outside the window, purring in its throat with a cat-narrowing demonstration sound.

All living things on earth naturally have a certain degree of stress response to thunder.

Heat returns to heat.

The first two days of this week were filled with thick fog, but today it seemed like it was leaking.

Ngawang kicked his fat butt and jumped up to the window sill. He glanced at the heavy rain outside the window and patted the glass twice with his little plum blossom paws to make sure it was thick and safe.

The towering Himalayas in the north will, to a certain extent, block the cold air trying to cross from north to south across Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent.

It waved its paw domineeringly.

The more pure the breed, the less courageous it is.

When he watched the documentary "The True Colors of Animals" before, he had seen an African lion captured under the hidden camera of the camera crew being disturbed by the thunderous whistle of a train passing through its territory, so he felt that the majesty of the territory was being compromised. Offended, making an offensive gesture towards the dragon-like train.

There was also a British Bobtail cat with a pedigree certificate that suffered a heart attack caused by thunder, which made her mother feel uncomfortable for a long time.

In previous years, Yangon rarely received such severe rainstorms.

Some scholars believe that in order to avoid dangers such as floods or lightning strikes and wildfires that may be accompanied by thunder, loud noises will stimulate the adrenal cortex in organisms to secrete hormones, thereby triggering the "fight or flight" instinct and making animals more sensitive.

This is the result of long species evolution, something engraved in ancient genes.

If Awang knew that there was such a thing, he would definitely lick his paws contemptuously, indicating that these are some spoiled, useless, cowardly cats.

It's embarrassing for this king.

Clearly under the thunder.

Ms. Sakai once told him that the seven or eight cats her mother raised at home in Japan all huddled up in the corner in fear and trembled when they heard the thunder.

He also felt that he was very lucky to encounter the heavy rain in the Luck Luck Orphanage that was similar to the environment described by Mr. Carroll. He especially called Miss Katsuko to come out to collect information, and said that this kind of opportunity might be the perfect time for her to stay. The only time during my time in Myanmar.

The needle of her fight-flight instinct was tilted toward the fight side.

In most cases, Gu Weijing has never seen Awang get scared, except when facing Jasmine.

A large number of cats are born with a strong fear of thunder.

From snakes with very low IQs, to cats, dogs, lions, tigers, and elephants, to primates like humans.

At least until the second half of the rainy season, which lasts for four or five months, it is extremely rare.

You can say that we are fat.

Myanmar has a special geographical location.

Some time ago.

Or.

Unexpectedly, when Yue Lai turned around, he was slapped in the face.

The director was greatly shocked and thought of the knight who attacked the evil windmill in his fantasy written by Cervantes. He named the fearless lion "Don Quixote Lion" with infinite emotion.

But we can’t say that our Awang is not handsome.

He quickly ran to the window against the wind, tightened the window again to keep the wind and rain out of the house, and pushed the lock bolt tight.

Gu Weijing looked out the window at the rippling Yangon River washed by the rain and shook his head slightly.

In addition to the difficulty of bathing, Awang is really the stupidest and boldest cat Gu Weijing has ever seen.

The climate is really unusually tight.

"Meow meow meow!"

A very long time.

Gu Weijing put down his brush.

Reduces the intersection of warm and cold airflow.

As if to say, don't be afraid, little Guzi, there is a cat covering you.

This weather is unbearable!
May has just entered the tropical rainy season.

This was the first time Gu Weijing saw a pet cat meowing towards the sky on a heavy rainy day.

"Oh, my Awang is so silly and bold that he can be nicknamed Don Quixote Cat. Right?"

Gu Weijing raised his chin towards Awang.

Awang couldn't understand.

She didn't even pay attention to the poop officer's emotions or teasing. He was persistently posing in front of the window with lightning as the background, meowing.

Judging from her body posture.

Gu Weijing took a casual guess and guessed that she was scolding quite dirty.

He took another deep look at the rainy morning outside the window, and was sure that God would most likely not be like a cat. She was posing so fiercely, she should... maybe... probably wouldn't be struck by lightning. .

Then he walked back to the center of the studio.

I quickly checked that the original "Old Church in a Thunderstorm" that had been taken out of the safe and placed against the wall was not stained by moisture from the newly opened window.

Only then did I feel relieved.

Gu Weijing picked up the pages that were blown by the wind one by one.

These are all things he has placed on the table in the studio these days.

There are several pictures that are used to figure out various sketch lines, and the pencil drawings are like bead nets.

More are newspapers.

Various newspapers.

There are national newspapers such as "Myanmar Mirror", state-owned media, city newspapers in Yangon, and some private newspapers' weekly commentaries.

He picked up the newspapers one by one.

Unlike his grandfather who has a habit of reading newspapers every day, young people of Generation Z like Gu Weijing usually do not have the habit of reading newspapers.

The reason why he bought almost every current political newspaper he could see in the past two days.

Just to understand what Boss Chen calls "Brother Hao's little twists and turns" and the situation at Kou Kou's family.

This is a political struggle involving high-level officials in Yangon.

The traditional old-school paper media may each have their own natural mouthpiece positions, but after all, they are more reliable than those on the Internet who follow the wind and rain.

Follow his movements.

The pages swished.

The relevant columns on each page are telling the horror of Brother Hao and the devastating blow of Dad Kou Kou.

Koko's father's loss of power is obvious from just reading two pages of the newspaper.

Almost mainstream newspapers have paid attention to the power changes in the Yangon Police Force’s senior team and the replacement of the list of police inspectors. I don’t know if it’s good news or not.

Except for the initial "Mirror", there are no other reliable newspaper sources showing that serious corruption cases have occurred within the Yangon police force.

Of course... this news may have been suppressed.

but.

Gu Weijing read that a reporter from Smart Investigations had received the news that the traffic police team had an employee named Dan Minming, who had the same name as the former senior police inspector. He asked the city whether these two people had the same name or the same person.

Gu Weijing hoped it was the same person.

at least,

Then he doesn't have to worry about the worse possibility that Father Kou Kou is in jail or even secretly executed.

He even called Du Qin'en, Chen Shenglin's secretary, and wanted to ask him to investigate the matter.

The other party agreed without any hesitation, and did not ask why he cared about a police inspector. He just said that the matter had not yet been decided and asked him to wait.

And Brother Hao's fear is even more secretive.

The more Gu Weijing read these local newspapers, the more chilling he felt. The reason was not that the Hao brother in the newspapers was so arrogant and notorious.

It's quite the opposite.

About Brother Hao...

He read every newspaper, every relevant report, and there wasn't a word in it.

It's zero, it's blank, it's nothingness.

This underworld godfather is like a huge black hole lurking in this city.

Swallowing all light, all goodness, and even the information itself.

The most terrifying villain is not someone like Al Capone who dared to let his men armed with a dozen Thompson submachine guns, turn the luxury Cadillacs of rival gang bosses into a hornet's nest, and fight with Chicago Police Department detectives in broad daylight on the street. , the FBI listed him as Public Enemy No. 1, and formed an investigation team of a hundred people just to catch him. His life was enough to stop a child from crying. The story has been adapted into countless best-selling novels and Hollywood movies.

The reason why the underworld is the underworld.

It is because the most terrifying villain can cleverly hide his huge body full of fat in the huge dark side of the city.

Not a trace of sunlight was visible.

Brother Hao appears in every family’s dinner table, whispering in a low voice. After the bald man came to the door, his grandfather Gu Tongxiang's nervous expression appeared.

The small businessmen who appeared at the calligraphy and painting auction heard that Gu Weijing was hooked up with Brother Hao, and they envied him and asked him to make a fortune together with them.

Appeared on Chen Shenglin’s phone number...

It even appeared in the private address book number of the cell phone Bald Tou gave him in the coffee shop.

For Gu Weijing.

Brother Hao is such a real underworld godfather who threatens his life, he is such a living existence, he only needs to make phone calls.

Maybe in just ten seconds, you will hear on the receiver, "HELLO, this is Brother Hao. We provide one-stop services including murder, arson, money laundering and selling stolen goods. Welcome to patronize! Pricing with conscience, serving customers, and doing no evil is our purpose. , kill two and get one, kill more and get more."

But on TV, newspapers, news... there is no trace of Brother Hao at all.

No photos, no coverage, good or bad, nothing.

It seems that the existence of this person is just a collective mental hallucination of urban people.

Mysterious like an invisible ghost.

It's also terrifying, like a life-seeking evil ghost.

A high-ranking police officer like Father Kou Kou said he was taken care of by Brother Hao, so he was taken care of.

If it weren't for Chen Shenglin's reminder and his knowledge in advance that Kou Kou's father was investigating Brother Hao. Maybe even Gu Weijing wouldn't realize the correlation between the two things.

The special crackdown failed even before it started. There was not even a shadow of it in the newspapers, as if it had never appeared.

It's as if you were in a peaceful peach blossom garden and you were bragging and chatting with the neighbor's little girl on the fishing boat next door. Suddenly, a green-faced and fanged demon jumped out of the water and dragged her away.

You screamed in horror, there is a ghost, there is a ghost!

As a result, when others should be fishing and drying their nets, you cry and say that the little flowers were eaten by ghosts. The noodle seller next door patted you on the shoulder with pity and said that you were too sad and hallucinating.

Xiaohua accidentally fell to her death.

Then everyone continues to live peacefully.

Can you still be at peace after witnessing all this?

This is not a peach blossom garden, this tmd is a ghost village!
Perhaps Myanmar has never had the peace and tranquility of a peach blossom land in the past few hundred years, but at this moment, Gu Weijing really felt like he was living in a ghost village.

Brother Hao ate a senior police inspector next to him.

But everyone can't see each other.

Gu Weijing sighed heavily.

Evil ghosts eat people, and heaven and earth will cry.

If one were to follow the theory of heaven-human induction in ancient history books, at this moment, this heavy rain with lightning and thunder would have come at the right time.

He took out his cell phone.

Select the avatar of "Kou Kou", the friend of the energetic golden retriever heroine in the TV series "Rock of Loneliness", and click on the chat box.

[Give me a call. If there's anything I can do to help, please do ask. 】

In the past, Kou Kou liked to chat with him.

It also bothered Gu Weijing as he didn't know how to keep an appropriate distance.

Gu Weijing sent several messages to Kou Kou in the past few days.

But nothing happened.

The last message the other party sent to me was still the little milk cat with a cute look on his face, smiling at him.

Gu Weijing knew it very well.

Koko must not be able to smile so brightly now.

He sighed, opened a calendar on the wall, and circled a red circle on a day at the end of June.

Countdown to 52 days.

This is the normal graduation day for this semester at Dulwich.

He needs to have a serious talk with his grandpa. Once he finishes high school, he will moisturize immediately. It is best to moisturize together as a family.

Gu Weijing still has 100,000 US dollars in his account, and he is not ready to invest this money in charity for the time being.

He now has no shortage of free experience points.

This money gives you peace of mind and is convenient for emergencies.

By the end of June, Scholastic Group will receive its share of the second quarter.

Although Gu's calligraphy and painting shop is an industry passed down from ancestors.

But as long as you have money, where can you open a gallery? Not a gallery? Their ancestors did not open a gallery in Myanmar.

Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times.

The same is true for art. When painting, don’t compete with yourself, don’t be too ambitious, don’t have too high ambitions, and don’t insist on using the experience of blood and fire to achieve greatness.

It is better to be a layman and a painter in a stable place.

Say.

Money is really tight, and Gu Weijing is not a macho man who can't save face. He can ask Shengzi to borrow it!

No kidding.

Miss Sakai's pocket money alone is enough to support their family.
