The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 515 The Mysterious Landlord

The sky outside the window has darkened.Like an upside-down iron pot.

The two girls slept in the bedroom until their stomachs growled.

Lin Mi quickly folded the quilt with both hands, and it was done in a while.

The foreign girl also followed her example, clumsily stacking the quilts together loosely, she laughed when she saw it.

"I learned it in the countryside. I practiced it for several days. Don't be in a hurry."

"Is the country fun?"

"It's much more fun than in the city. Do you want to live together for a few days?"

"I think so too, but I have already agreed to look after Mrs. Ye's house."

"You always talk about 'Mrs. Ye'," Lin Mi pretended to be dissatisfied, "If we haven't seen each other for a while, forget me as an old friend?"

"I haven't forgotten, I still told her about you."

"Don't mention me to strangers," Lin Mi lowered his voice, with a nervous look on his face, "The portraits of me and my father are posted at the gates of the city, in the streets and alleys, it will be terrible if your landlord doesn't keep his mouth shut .”

The foreign girl was not panicked at all, and relaxed her heart quite confidently:

"No, Mrs. Ye is a good person. She has been alone and doesn't talk to outsiders."

"Then how did you rent her house?"

"It was God's arrangement. One day I was looking for a house and passed by here, and saw her drinking tea at the door and basking in the sun. She smiled and waved to me, and stayed to chat."

"Did she offer to rent it to you?"

"Yes, she lives elsewhere and has several houses. She just wants to rent this out. The price is not high, and the furniture is also satisfactory. I will rent it out."

As coincidental as it sounds, the landlord and the house are too nice to believe.

Lin Mi shook his head lightly.

The more calm people look, the more secrets they tend to hide.

Seeing Chris's confidence in the landlord, it was inconvenient for her to pour cold water on her good sister, so she had to temporarily cover up her doubts.

The light in the room was very dim, so Yang Niu found a few thick white candles and lit them.The candlelight flickered, illuminating the furnishings in the room.

Every piece of furniture is small and exquisite in workmanship.

The small table comes with two small chairs.Add a bookcase to the desk, and the bookcase is empty.

Two small wardrobes with a bed that is not wide enough to accommodate two slender girls has reached the limit.

"Mrs. Ye really lives alone."

Lin Mi lowered her head, and the veiled woman appeared in front of her eyes again.

Why wear a veil?Could it be that he deliberately concealed his identity?
In her wild imagination, she even thought that Mrs. Ye might be the same as herself, with portraits posted all over the street, and she had to avoid the eyes of those bad guys in order to survive.

Soon she denied this guess. After all, Mrs. Ye can be cunning, and her family must be rich.

Chris is not as careful as she is.I dug out a large jar of candies I bought myself, and filled the small table.

"Xiao Lin, I don't know how to cook. I'll treat you with these. When Mr. Gu comes later, let him taste the chocolate too."

Lin Mi didn't have the heart to peel off the candy wrapper.

She wandered around the room aimlessly, and her eyes fell on a painting on the wall.

The painting is hung very high, and you have to look up and face it to appreciate the whole picture.

A golden autumn, large and small fruits are packed in bamboo baskets.A fluffy little white dog lay outside the bamboo basket.

The little white dog looked up and stared at the red, yellow and yellow fruits, looking cute.

"The dog in this painting really looks like Qilan's snowball."

"Is Snowball all right? Bring it some candies."

Just as they were talking about the puppy in the painting, the door to the yard rang.

They greeted them quickly and opened the door.

Snowflakes rustled down.

There were several hexagonal snowflakes on Qilan's black hair, which melted into water and flowed to his forehead drop by drop.

Chris and Lin Mi pushed the bicycle behind the door together and beckoned him to enter the house.

"Mr. Gu, you came just in time. We found an interesting painting."

"Yes, it's very similar to your Snowball. It's just that this painting is quite old."

Lin Mi pushed him to the front of the painting, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the little white dog clearly.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
The lying puppy was exactly the same as the Snowball he was familiar with, regardless of its coat color, appearance, and demeanor.

The only difference may be that the puppy in this painting likes fruit, and his little Xueqiu likes meat buns.

"Chris, when Mrs. Ye comes back, please help me to ask, can you sell this painting to me?"

"I'm afraid not." Yang Niuer waved her hand affirmatively. "She likes the painting very much. Every time she comes here, she has to step on the chair and gently wipe the dust on it."

"Then why doesn't she draw a few more pictures that are exactly the same?"

Lin Mi became even more curious.Since I don't want to part with this painting, but I don't want to take it with me, don't I worry that it will be ruined by the renter?
Qilan didn't think much about it.The landlady may just look at the mood painting.After that special time, it is very difficult to reproduce a unique piece.

It's not early.He asked Chris to borrow an umbrella, planning to go back quickly before the snow got bigger.

Foreign girls live a life of nocturnal most of the time.There is also less rain in the city.She rummaged for a while, but couldn't find a suitable umbrella.

The only umbrella was issued by the dance hall, too flashy, small and impractical.Not suitable for lending them.

In desperation, she also moved a chair, stood in front of the cabinet, stretched out her hands to grope on top.

There was a small box on top of the cabinet, without a padlock.It seems that there will be no valuables in it. Maybe you can find an ordinary umbrella?

The foreign girl's arms are too short to reach the box.

Seeing this, Qilan walked over and took down the whole small box without tiptoeing.

Unexpectedly, it sank like a big square stone!
He held his breath so as not to let go halfway.

The box was placed on the small table.Chris wiped the dust with a handkerchief, carefully opened the lid of the box, and was stunned.

There is no umbrella inside.

It's all one piece of square crystal, which feels very cold and slippery.

"I'll put the box back. It looks like the landlady is keeping it for use."

He also vaguely smelled an unusual breath.Mrs. Ye's home not only has a painting of a white dog, but also a large crystal.She must have many unknown secrets.

When putting the box back, Qilan's arm suddenly hurt unbearably, and he lost his balance for a moment, the box fell from his hand, and hit the floor heavily: "Bah!"

A piece of wood suddenly became warped.It seems to be given life and stand by itself.

"Ah, there's a light under the floor!"

Chris screamed and covered her eyes.

Lin Mi looked at the gap in the floor under his feet in surprise.There was indeed light shining through.If you stare at it for 1 minute, you will be overwhelmed.

"Don't panic," Qilan pushed aside one loose plank after another, and stretched out his hand to probe inside.

I saw a huge bronze mirror stacked more than a foot below the wooden board. Coupled with the candlelight all over the room, it was very dazzling.
