Chapter 235 Silly Child (1)

A total of eight families lived in this alley, but it was strange that the doors of the seven houses above were all locked and no one lived in them, only the innermost one was unlocked.

It seems that this is the residence of the painter that the old woman said.

The gate was not closed, Shen Yao gently pushed open the dilapidated wooden door, seeing the same overgrown yard, she couldn't help shivering.

"Well, is anyone there? Is anyone home?"

Called twice, but no one responded.

Just when Shen Yao was wondering whether to go in or turn around to leave, a deep voice suddenly sounded in the room: "Who is it?"

This voice was very old, like the rough bark rubbing against each other, making Shen Yao's skin crawl all over.

let's go!let's go!Run away now!
Even though her legs started to tremble, her reason still made her stop, and she shouted inside: "Hello, does the painter live here?"

She didn't know the name of the person who painted on the wall, but after thinking about it for a long time, she decided to use the word "painter".

There was a creak, the sound of the wooden door opening, and an old man in ragged clothes hobbled out with a cane. Her hair was grizzled, and her face was covered with deep and shallow groves. One could tell that she was not very old at first glance. small.

"What painter? We don't have a painter here!"

Seeing this old lady, Shen Yao's heart was settled a lot, and she finally saw a living person.

She quickly took two steps to meet her, and supported the old lady who seemed to be about to fall in a second: "Grandmother, I found it after seeing the painting on the outside wall, may the person who painted the painting live here?" ?"

In fact, what Shen Yao wanted to ask was if she was the only one living here, but she swallowed the words, the weeds in the yard were almost half the height of a person, and the house was even more sloppy, it must be No second person lived.

As for the painter, Shen Yao didn't have any hope anymore, could an old woman living alone draw such a picture?Let's not talk about whether he has the painting skills, the height alone is not like it!

She didn't think that this old lady who was about to fall down could paint the whole wall by stepping on a stool!
but!God always surprises people!

The old woman laughed twice with her hoarse voice like a broken bellows: "So the little girl is the one who was looking for that painting! It seems that you don't live around here anymore. Come on, my mother-in-law tells you, then The person who painted the painting is the grandson of my mother-in-law, and he also painted that painting. What do you want to do with him? Could it be that he painted the walls of your house? Cough cough, I will find someone to wipe it for you another day How are you?"

what?
Shen Yao blinked her eyes, she was so shocked that she almost couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, it turned out that this old lady didn't live alone!And that painting was actually drawn by her grandson!
My God, it's really effortless to find nowhere to go!

"Mother-in-law, what you said is true? Is that painting really drawn by your grandson? Great, is he there? Can you let me meet him?"

When she heard that Shen Yao was going to see her grandson, the old woman was also a little dazed, and stared at Shen Yao with a pair of cloudy eyes, as if she had seen something incredible: "You, why are you looking for him? What did he break into? Is it a disaster? If so, I, my wife, will bear it for him, and you don't want to trouble him!"

The old lady who was laughing just now suddenly became cautious, because she was so excited that she almost threw the crutch in her hand.

Shen Yao quickly supported her and explained her reason for coming.

When Shen Yao said that she was looking for a painter with great painting skills to paint for others, the old woman was stunned.

"Mother-in-law? Mother-in-law? Talk to me! Mother-in-law?"

"No! You go, you go quickly! We don't paint, we don't paint!"

The old woman didn't wait for Shen Yao to finish speaking, she pushed her out, as if she was a scourge that could eat people.

"Mother-in-law, what's the matter with you, I just want to ask him to paint, I will give you money! Mother-in-law!"

Shen Yao was pushed out by her. In fact, the old woman didn't have much strength, but Shen Yao was afraid that her resistance would bring her down, so she had to follow her movements and walk out.

With a bang, the wooden door was closed unceremoniously by the old woman.

"What's the matter, don't I just want to find a painter? As for kicking me out like this? It's not like I won't give you money!"

Shen Yao clutched her arm that hurt a little from being pushed by the old woman, and muttered a few words with her mouth curled up.

However, the more difficult it was, the more her fighting spirit was aroused. Since the old lady forbade her to meet the painter, she couldn't give up.

Her intuition told her that there must be some secret hidden in this small dilapidated house.

As soon as she rolled her eyes, Shen Yao turned around and walked out. Although all the people living in the alley had left, weren't there still many people living outside the alley?Just ask them and you'll find the answer.

It's just that the sky didn't fulfill people's wishes, and this time God didn't pity Shen Yao.

Shen Yao inquired here all afternoon, but no one was willing to tell her the answer.Not only did they not want to mention it, but everyone seemed to be jealous of the two people living here. When she asked her, their faces changed, and they waved their hands and said that they didn't know each other, trying their best to clarify their relationship with that family.

There was even a very excited person who kicked her out.

Shen Yao was really angry and anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

After asking here all afternoon, Shen Yao's legs were weak, so she had to go back to Ah Yue's house first, and wanted to ask Ah Yue if she knew what happened there.

"That small alley?" Ah Yue frowned, shook her head and said, "The people over there are not very rich, even if they are looking for a matchmaker, they will not come to me. You must know that I am the most powerful person in the town." Matchmaker, my fees will naturally be higher than others, of course they..."

"Okay, master, can we stop bragging at this time? And there are no outsiders around, who are you going to listen to these big words?"

Shen Yao wasted the whole afternoon in vain, neither found a suitable painter nor found any clues, she was depressed, she didn't want to hear Ah Yue's boastful words.

Ah Yue snorted, but finally said: "Forget it, let me ask your Aunt Ling for you!"

The place where the painter was located happened to be Aunt Ling's territory, and she was clear about the affairs there, so she could definitely solve Shen Yao's doubts.

Without further ado, Ah Yue and Shen Yao immediately went to Aunt Ling's house in a carriage. It happened that this woman had no business and was playing cards with some neighbors at home!

As soon as she heard that Ah Yue was looking for her on business, she quickly gave up the place to her daughter-in-law, and took Ah Yue and Shen Yao to the back room to talk.

Shen Yao understood the purpose of her visit, and in case Aunt Ling didn't know, she specifically mentioned the painting on that wall.

As soon as Aunt Ling heard it, she immediately understood: "So you were talking about the painting on the wall, tsk tsk, if you ask others about this, no one will tell you, but who let you find me? !"

It was another self-proclaimed speech, Shen Yao scratched her ears, a little speechless, is this a common problem of being a matchmaker?Do you have to boast yourself first when talking about things?
The needy Shen Yao naturally couldn't interrupt Aunt Ling like she interrupted her master, and after finally waiting for Aunt Ling to finish boasting about her stature, she finally got down to business.

"Let me tell you, it's actually a pity for that young man who paints, because..."

Aunt Ling purposely played tricks, seeing that Shen Yao and Ah Yue were attracted by her, she smiled with satisfaction and continued, "Because he's a fool!"

Fool?

How can a fool draw such a magnificent painting?How can this be? !
Shen Yao obviously didn't believe it.

Aunt Ling clicked her tongue twice and said, "Why, don't you believe it? My Aunt Ling has been here for so many years, and the news I got is absolutely correct. That young man is a fool!"

Shen Yao nodded quickly, put on an attitude of listening humbly, and continued to wait for her to continue.

Only then did Aunt Ling feel a little more satisfied, and said, "Have you been to that alley already? It seems that you should have guessed something unusual, right? Is there no one living in that alley?"

Shen Yao agreed with this point, at first she thought that the people living in that alley had developed and moved to other places.But when she went to the side to inquire later, she slowly overturned this conjecture.

Everyone kept secret about the two people from that family, and it seemed that those who moved away were also related to those two people.

Aunt Ling shook her head and said, "It's because the grandson of that family is a fool, that's why those people all moved away!"

It turned out that the family was quite normal before. The old woman had a son who was very up-to-date and opened a small shop in the city. Later, he married the girl next door and gave birth to a son within two years.This son was the little grandson whom Aunt Ling called a fool.

"The child was quite normal in the first two years after he was born. He just didn't talk much, and he didn't respond to how others teased him. At first, everyone didn't pay attention, thinking that the child was introverted and didn't like talking to strangers. But, when When the child was two and a half years old, the small shop his father ran suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night, burning both his parents to death. Oh, don’t mention that scene, it’s sad to think about it now.”

Aunt Ling sighed several times before recovering and continued: "It was also after his parents were burnt to death that this child has become different from others. According to his neighbors, he can always listen to it in the middle of the night Hearing the child's yelling, and the voice was very scary. At first, they thought it was the child who was sick, or the old woman was abusing the child, but after a long time, everyone realized that was not the case at all. The old woman treated the grandson as a How can you be willing to abuse him and beat him?"

"Then what's going on?" Shen Yao also felt suspicious, so she hurriedly asked.
