BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1259: Coming, Coming
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, “Did Xiahou Yi say something to me just now? Unfortunately, I don’t know how to read lips.”
Granny Nie was speechless.
Wei Ting pondered and said, “He said, ‘Everyone will die.’”
Su Xiaoxiao instantly felt the horror of having a malicious ghost on her shoulder.
She was quite bold and was not afraid of anything, but Xiahou Yi gave off a strange feeling.
“Who does he mean by everyone? Us?”
As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she looked at Granny Nie. “Is Granny included?”
The corners of Granny Nie’s mouth twitched.
Damn girl, couldn’t she hope for her to be better?
Wei Ting thought for a moment and shook his head. “It’s hard to say for the time being, but I’m sure that he has already recognized you.”
Su Xiaoxiao pondered and said, “He hasn’t seen me before and can actually recognize me. Then there’s only one possibility: He’s seen my portrait. Going forward, he’s investigating me, or rather, the entire Wei family. Coupled with the sentence ‘everyone will die’, does he want to eliminate the Wei family? If that’s the case, why did he do that? What deep hatred does he have with the Wei family?”
Granny Nie couldn’t take it anymore and said, “I say, do the two of you want to consider that there are outsiders in the carriage? Like me?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Granny is not an outsider!”
Granny Nie said, “I am.”
Could they not tell her these secrets?
Can’t they be a little more vigilant and enlightened?
The two of them sent Granny Nie to the Nie family first. Nie Xiaozhu wanted to play with the three little ones, so Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting brought him into the carriage.
“I have something on today and can’t leave,” Xiao Ruyan said. “Please take care of Xiaozhu.”
Su Xiaoxiao touched Nie Xiaozhu’s head. “Don’t worry, Sister Xiao!”
The three little ones saw Nie Xiaozhu extremely happy.
“Brother Xiaozhu!”
The three of them ran towards him.
Nie Xiaozhu had brought his little pet over today. It was a beautiful little white sheep.
Erhu said, “We have a horse.”
Xiaohu said, “Sihu! Sihu!”
Sihu strode over valiantly.
Nie Xiaozhu exclaimed, “Wow.”
The four little ones played in the courtyard.
Wei Ting went to the study and stayed for most of the day without even eating lunch.
Su Xiaoxiao and Xing’er stood at the door.
Xing’er looked at her husband and asked softly, “Miss, do you want to send him something to eat?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the sweating Wei Ting and touched her lips with her index finger. She whispered, “Don’t disturb him.”
Finally, Wei Ting drew the last stroke and fell onto the chair weakly.
Su Xiaoxiao, who had been guarding outside for a long time, hurriedly walked over with the crispy candy and fed him a piece. “Eat it quickly.”
Wei Ting nodded with a pale face.
Su Xiaoxiao poured him another glass of warm water, but he didn’t even have the strength to raise his hand.
Su Xiaoxiao fed him two sips and took out a clean handkerchief to wipe his forehead. “Rest for a while.”
Wei Ting leaned back in his chair. He had no choice but to rest. His mind was already blank. His entire body was spinning, and his head hurt so much that it was about to explode.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the portraits on the table and was stunned.
“You drew all the paintings in Xiahou Yi’s room?”
It was not a copy, nor was it just one or two paintings. There were a total of eight landscape paintings, and even the details of the grass and water waves were restored.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized something: Wei Ting could become the top scorer not because he was only the top scorer, but because the top scorer was the highest achievement one could attain in the imperial examination.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at each painting carefully and her gaze stopped on the third.
“Why do I feel that… this painting is a little familiar?”
She paused and entered the pharmacy from the ear room. She took out a blueprint.
This was a painting drawn by Wei Xu in the underground mine in the Southern Wilderness.
At that time, Wei Xu was in a delirious state. While she was talking to Zongzheng Wei, Wei Xu drew this blueprint.
Wei Xu’s painting skills were not good, but compared to the landscape painting in front of him, she could still tell that the mountain and path drawn by Wei Xu were part of the portrait.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Did you also discover this and decide to remember all of Xiahou Yi’s portraits?”
Wei Ting nodded.
Wei Xu came over and looked at his son, who looked like he was about to collapse. He asked, “You’re so weak after painting a few paintings?”
Su Xiaoxiao told him what had happened and especially pointed out the difficulty of restoring the eight paintings.
Wei Xu was a general. He could not understand how drawing eight paintings was an explosive feat in the literary world until Su Xiaoxiao. explained to him that this was equivalent to fighting eight Qin Canglans alone and winning.
Wei Xu fell silent.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Dad, you painted this painting. Do you still remember?”
Wei Xu recalled carefully. “Yes… but I don’t remember where I’ve seen this place.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “There are two possibilities. You’ve been there or seen paintings related to it. I’m inclined to the first.”
The lines drawn by Wei Xu were more like maps.
If he had drawn a portrait he had seen, it was not that she wanted to belittle her father-in-law, but that he was not so talented.
Wei Xu looked at his painting in disdain.
He looked at Wei Ting’s painting again. It was lifelike, making one feel as if they were there.
Wei Xu muttered, “Have I been there? When did I go?”
Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the lower right corner of the portrait and said, “There’s water at the foot of the mountain. Could this place be at sea too?”
The endless sea was filled with waves.
The big ship had just experienced a storm and fortunately survived it.
A tanned young man and a pink-clothed girl wearing a veil sat awkwardly on a small boat in the distance.
The girl in pink said, “It’s all your fault. I told you it was a deserted island, but you insisted on going to take a look. Now, the big ship has left!”
It was indeed the young man’s fault.
The young man cleared his throat and muttered, “I didn’t ask you to follow me.”
The girl in pink said solemnly, “What if something happens to you? How am I going to explain it to your fourth brother!”
The young man snorted. “Get this straight. I’m the one who knows martial arts! You might as well be worried about yourself! Instead of being a good princess, you insisted on going to the sea with me!”
The girl in pink was insistent. “I… I was watching you!”
The young man turned his face away. “You just want to look for my fourth brother.”
The girl kicked him.
She didn’t use much strength.
The young man said, “Alright, alright, I won’t argue with you anymore. Hurry up and think of a way to leave this place.”
The girl in pink asked, “How far is this place from Thousand Mountains Island?”
Su Li paddled. “How would I know? It’s my first time here too.”
The girl in pink instructed, “East, east! You missed!”
“I didn’t! That’s east!”
“That’s the north! Su Li, you can’t even tell east from west! You’re still pretending to be a hero in front of me! You’re three years old, right!”
“Xiao Hui An! Don’t think you can insult me just because you’re a princess!”
“East!”
“Got it!!!”
