how do you know? !
Wu Tinghan and I spoke out almost at the same time, with deep shock in our voices.
I was shocked because no one had contacted Zhang Hazi. In that case, how could he know whether I had gotten off the bus? Did he also install remote monitoring in the car?
That shouldn't be the case. If a surveillance camera is installed, he can be sure that I have gotten off the car, so why bother asking?
Wu Tinghan's shock was obviously different from mine. After she exclaimed, she glanced at me sideways, and then asked Zhang Hazi, "How did you infer that he got off the car?" Do you also know the craftsmanship of 'hanging paintings facing the scene'?
Zhang Hazi said that he had heard Ha Tudu mention it before, thinking that it was lost to old people, but he didn't expect that someone would know it.
This didn't sound like much to me, but Wu Tinghan was even more shocked than before, so much so that the expression on her face changed a bit this time, and she didn't look as calm as before.
She said, how could Xiaoyang know? Who did he hear it from?
Zhang Hazi said, I know what you are thinking? Have you ever thought that as long as you find this person who talks to him, you can find the person who will take action against you this time? It's no use, he saw it from the diary left by his grandmother.
Wu Tinghan nodded when he heard this and said to himself, if it was her aunt, then it would be no problem. After all, this was a craftsmanship that only appeared in their era. But then again, who else knows this craftsmanship nowadays?
The person on the other side was silent for a while, and then said, Wu Tinghan, didn't you notice Mai? It doesn't matter who knows this craftsmanship. The key now is, why did this craftsmanship disappear for decades and reappear now?
This question seems very common to me, but I don’t know why Wu Tinghan was so excited after hearing it, that the Hummer under her feet suddenly accelerated and jumped out, without her even realizing it. In the end, I reminded her to be careful of rear-end collisions. Finally, she eased off the accelerator.
After she came back to her senses, she said she understood and was ready to hang up the phone.
Before she hung up the phone, the person on the other end of the line asked again, "Do you know what the hell is going on?"
She said, I just ran out now, and I will probably get trapped if I get on the highway again. So I decided to get off the expressway and take the national highway to try.
Zhang Hazi said, "You don't even have to try it. This craftsmanship is obviously coming from that Hampi. As long as he gets to the car, you will still get stuck even if you take the country road."
I was confused. Haven't we already come out of the darkness? How could we fall into it again? In broad daylight, Wu Tinghan is also in the car. Is it possible that someone else dares to attack us?
After listening to Zhang Hazi's words, Wu Tinghan seemed to realize something, so he hurriedly asked, "Do you think you have an idea of a way to crack it?"
Zhang Hazi said that it was just a rough idea, that is, you could try to get Hampi to set fire to the mountain.
Hearing this, I quickly looked at Wu Tinghan, hoping that she wouldn't listen to Zhang Hazi's nonsense. If you set fire to the mountain, you will be imprisoned! Although I am willing to stay in Laosicheng and be Zhang Hazi's neighbor for the rest of my life, it does not mean that I like going to jail!
But I found that Wu Tinghan seemed to agree with this idea, because I saw a hint of joy on her face!
And she asked casually, "Just for a moment, you thought of it?"
Zhang Hazi's rather proud voice came, saying, looking at the essence through phenomena, this is a simple question that everyone can think of!
After saying this, he paused and seemed to realize that this was a bit offensive to Wu Tinghan, so he hurriedly added, the reason why you didn't expect it is because there is a Hampie next to you that affects your IQ. It's just like how Ha Tie Tzu influenced me back then.
Zhang Hazi is not in the car now, otherwise, I must let him know what it feels like to be hit in the face with a fist as big as a sand bowl! ----Of course, I am the one responsible for providing the face.
When Wu Tinghan heard this, he just said "hang up" and hung up the phone without any further hesitation. Then he started to slow down and turned into the slow lane.
It seemed like she wanted to stop the car, so I said, you don't really want me to set fire to the mountain, do you? Let's agree in advance that I can at most help you deduct points, even if your driver's license is revoked, I will accept it. But I will definitely not do such illegal and disciplined things as setting fire to mountains!
Wu Tinghan gave me a very disdainful look, then got off the highway at an intersection in front of him, and drove straight to a gas station not far from the intersection. After saying "top up", he went inside on his own. ’s canteen.
I know she must have gone to buy a lighter.
It's over, it's over now. I don’t know if it’s too late for me to get out of the car and run away. If she sets the fire herself, will I be regarded as an accomplice?
Sure enough, when Wu Tinghan came back, he was carrying two big black bags in his hands, which were bulging and looked very heavy.
Good guy, this bitch is really planning to set the mountain on fire. She even has gasoline ready!
I was about to persuade her to think twice, but she opened the passenger door. Then she pulled me out of the car, kicked me towards the canteen, and loaded a dozen bags into the car.
Yes, she has made it clear that she wants to drag me into the trap. Even if I am not the principal culprit by then, I will not be able to escape being labeled as an accomplice.
I don't know what Wu Tinghan's plan was, but after all, this happened because of me, so I could only do as he was told and go to the canteen to carry the remaining bags into the car.
During this period, when Wu Tinghan was not paying attention, I untied a bag and found that the big black bag contained an extra large mineral water bottle with a capacity of 12 liters.
When I saw the water bottle filled with liquid, it was hard for me not to shake my head and smile bitterly, and secretly complained in my heart that this girl is very thoughtful and knows how to use mineral water bottles to hold gasoline. Can you put it in a black plastic bag? Isn’t this three hundred taels of silver in this place?
Knowing that I could not escape the suspicion of being an accomplice, I resigned myself to my fate and started moving two black plastic bags into the trunk of the car.
After I loaded everything into the car, Wu Tinghan also walked out of the canteen carrying two bags. She threw one of them directly to me. I opened it and looked over it twice. In addition to the bag full of biscuits and bread, No lighter was found.
It seemed that she planned to set the fire herself.
After I had a simple meal, she drove the Hummer back onto the highway, heading in the direction of my hometown.
This time, Wu Tinghan drove unhappily. I knew she was looking for a place to set fire.
To be honest, the anxiety and panic I feel now is no less than when the ship owner chased me with a pole.
In order to ease the mood, I took the initiative to find a topic and asked her, what is the "painting facing the scene" you mentioned before? Haven't we already come out, can we still fall into this trap?
Wu Tinghan did not answer me, but asked me, do you know why it was always dark before?
I shook my head and said with a wry smile, if I knew, I wouldn't ask you.
She said it was because we broke into a painting.
I frowned and asked her puzzledly, how big can a painting be? Even if it can fit us, can it fit this Hummer? How big of a scroll does it have to be?
She snorted coldly and said, for those with low skills, the size of a bed will be enough; for those with superb skills, the size of a palm will be enough, not to mention a car, even mountains and rivers can fit in it!
I didn't understand it at first, but I soon figured out the key. I mean, you mean, after we broke into that painting, we also became the image in the painting?
Just like the pictures of Mount Tai and Mount Hua, isn't it just an ordinary-sized scroll with both Mount Tai and Mount Hua included in the painting?
She nodded and said, this is the scenery hanging painting. On the road we must pass, we will draw a picture of the night scenery on the highway in advance, and then hang it on the road. When we pass by, we will unknowingly break in. In the painting, we thought we were driving forward, but in fact we were spinning around in the painting. If we didn't react, we would be trapped in the painting until we died.
After listening to her explanation, I suddenly realized that it was no wonder that we felt that it was still dark. It turned out that the picture was at night.
But soon, I realized that something was wrong. I said, if this were the case, wouldn't the other party's flaws be revealed very quickly?
After all, it's impossible for the sky to stay dark forever. As long as the time is up, even if I can't see it, Wu Tinghan will definitely be able to see the problem.
If that's the case, why doesn't the other party make a daytime picture and wait until dawn before hanging it up? In this case, after we break in, wouldn't we be able to find nothing unusual before it gets dark?
Wu Tinghan shook his head and said, no, flaws are more likely to be revealed during the day.
I was puzzled and asked hurriedly, why?
She asked me, "Do you think it's easier to paint landscapes during the day or at night?"
I thought about it, and if I wanted to paint everything realistically, it would definitely be easier to paint landscapes at night. Because the light is weak at night, everything is dark or blurry. The fewer strokes, the more realistic the image.
She nodded and said, yes, but it is different during the day. The light is too strong. If you want to paint realistically, every detail must be taken care of. Not to mention the workload is huge. If you are not careful, you will be nondescript and reveal flaws. .
Well, as expected, as long as the craftsman is extremely delicate, every detail can be considered carefully and thoughtfully.
But soon, I thought of a flaw. I said, since we got into the painting and became the images in the painting, why can we still escape from the painting?
Wu Tinghan said, because we were driving Zhang Hazi’s Hummer.
I didn't understand what she meant, so I asked, is it because this car has Zhang Hazi's blessing, so it is different and particularly awesome?
I kept looking at her while I was talking, and I found that after I finished speaking, she turned her head to look at me, her eyes full of contempt.
She said, do you have a head that suits you? If his car is so powerful, why can't we drive out even though we keep driving forward?
I was stunned when I heard this and said, yes, why didn't it go out when driving forward, but did it go out not long after going back?
But it’s not right. It was the first time we turned back and drove for so long, didn’t we still not drive out?
She said it was because I told you not to get off the bus, but you still did!
