Never open a new pit

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Yu Shu made an appointment with her classmates to watch dragon boat racing.

At nine or ten in the morning, a lot of people had already gathered by the river.

This kind of lively scene was rarely seen later on, as people's pace of life became faster and faster, people became strangers to each other, and people were afraid that gatherings would cause bad things to happen.

There was an old man by the river carrying a large basket filled with palm leaves.

They tore it up, braided it into a bracelet, and put a thin red string through it. There were also people selling ice jelly and vinegar cold water.

Corn stood on his shoulders, and every time he passed a "stall", he would open his eyes wide to look at it, looking very interested.

Yu Shu was so outstanding in appearance that passersby would immediately give way to her when they saw her walking.

Someone on the river bank below looked down closely and saw from afar people coming with their boats, singing and drumming.

"Xiaoyu! I'm here!"

"We're all here!"

Xia Qiqi and the others had already taken their seats, and several of them were holding a cup of ice jelly in their hands.

"How come you guys got together so quickly?"

Yu Shu took a sip of the ice jelly that Xia Qiqi handed over to her.

"I ran into him as soon as I got off the bus. You were coming from the other direction, so of course you couldn't see him very well."

Zhou Changqing put down the telescope and handed it to Zhong Cui.

"I didn't see you through the telescope either."

Yu Shu smiled and waited for the dragon boat to come.

She had just uploaded a small cartoon of Dragon Boat Festival before she went out.

This time, she painted a melancholic love story:

A hundred years ago, there was a family of poets and scholars in Spring City. During its heyday, it was also called Linban Street.

Because this half of the street is just other people's yards.

But the good times did not last long. The country was in turmoil and there were continuous bereavements in the family, so the young master had to stop going to school.

His name is Lin Tianci. After returning to Chuncheng, this young master with a slicked-back hair and a love for art faced the financial difficulties of his family, so he had to go out and find some way to make money on his own.

He could write and compose articles, and he got a job as an editor at a newspaper. One day, he went out for an interview with everyone, but was captured by a warlord on the way.

It was a woman who was good at water who saved him.

The water in the river was so fast and so dark and scary that the woman's bangs were drooping to one side.

A pair of narrow eyes under the curled eyelashes said: "You are a good person, thank you for seeking justice for grandpa."

He was shocked inside, and others would only praise him for his generosity and style.

Lin Tianci held his breath cautiously and looked at the woman in front of him: "Are you the granddaughter of the old river worker?"

"My name is Chuntao."

She felt a little embarrassed and proud when she mentioned this name.

Because it’s spring and I love to eat peaches, but they’re not elegant enough.

In this way, the young couple got to know each other. When the warlord was defeated, a new warlord came.

These writers were invited back to write praises for the front line. Lin Tianci was just a young man with a slicked-back hair and powdered face, but the more he had such an identity, the more he seemed to be awakening something.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival.

There is going to be a dragon boat race in the city, and it turns out there are so many strong laborers in the city.

The warlord smiled, clapped his hands, and laughed heartily at the map.

Lin Tianci knew that after the Dragon Boat Festival, this dragon boat would become a fatal straw boat.

Whose body doesn't hurt? Whose body is worth less?

So how can he stop it?

He couldn't stop it, but he could introduce the power of light. He said goodbye to Chun Tao and decided to be a guide.

May 5th, Dragon Boat Festival.

Chun Tao fed him the last rice dumpling and said, "Let's go together!"

The two were eventually forced to separate on the road, and Chuntao survived.

Lin Tianci's boat was still floating on the bloody river.

His eyes were filled with tears, and blood was gushing out of his chest. It really, really hurt...

At the end of the scene, Chuntao turns into a child, holding a puppy, walking along the river in Shengshi.

The puppy was influenced by the warm atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival and its nose was climbing left and right.

The drums are beating, the dragon boats are coming!

The boy of the same height was holding a Dragon Boat Festival string in his hand, and he looked at the girl holding the dog with a delicate and curious look.

The figures of adults beside me were wearing black udon and the colorful flags of dragon boats were floating in the sky.

The picture freezes.

On the dragon boat, people are still singing the Dragon King Song.

But a hundred years ago, he was pretending to ask the Dragon King for help, but really was asking the world to let him go.

Now the weather is good and it is appropriate to pray to the Dragon King.

Alas, Yu Shu thought.

It was all because she listened to a sad tune when inspiration came. If it was a happy song, she wouldn't be trapped by this scene of parting now.

Xia Qiqi and the others didn’t know that this was the content of Yu Shu’s new comic strip.

Everyone thought it was a happy comic.

I said I would go back and watch it immediately.

The first complaint Yu Shu received offline was from Lin Wu.

She has been looking for actors for a long time, and the script has been polished, but filming has not started yet.

So I've been flying back and forth for the past few months.

Sometimes I come to Spring City to see my mother, sister and niece, sometimes I go back to Hong Kong City to meet old friends, or travel around the world to find inspiration.

Her speed of surfing the Internet is comparable to that of the editors of Daowen.com. As soon as Yu Shu's works are updated, she will read them.

"How can you draw such a heartbreaking picture at such a young age?"

Perhaps literary and artistic workers are particularly sensitive, easily imagining things and easily getting hurt.

Yu Shu felt that the dramas she filmed were obviously more sad.

I just didn’t expect that this cartoon would be published in the Spring City Evening News the next day.

——A good life is inseparable from the efforts of our ancestors

Because Chuncheng is used as the background, the Lin family from a hundred years ago, the mansion and the river view are all realistic in style, and Yu Shu’s fans come from all over the place.

Those who came to Spring City for tourism left a message in the comment section:

Is there really a Lin family mansion in Chuncheng? I want to go see it. I'm already in Chuncheng.

[I don't understand. Over a hundred years have passed, and there's a Yu family mansion, but it's almost being demolished... No, it seems there really was a wealthy family named Lin, and they were quite cultured!]

My grandfather was originally assigned a room in the Yu family mansion. We lived there for decades, and it was really crowded. I heard the owner of the house fled to Hong Kong.

This Dragon Boat Festival comic has a really light touch of melancholy. I feel like themes from that era just can't produce happy stories. I beg you to draw more imaginative comics in the future.

【But it is really memorable. 】

I went to the library and found out from the local annals that the Lin family of Chuncheng, whose ancestors included Hanlin and Jinshi, opened a girls' school in that era. The principal's son got married that year, and the then-provincial governor even visited.

The governor is in the middle of the picture. The newlyweds are dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and the high steps are filled with guests from all walks of life.

Yu Shu didn't expect that a random name would reveal her family's privacy.

She swore that she only used the surname Lin for the protagonist because there were too many names and it sounded nice and easy to remember.

Pinned my own explanation in the comment section:

The story has no real prototype, and the scenery is a mixture of different things, but we still welcome everyone to visit the Spring City. At the same time, the plot is fake, but in reality there are indeed many such admirable ancestors...

[Okay, actually, I was also thinking about asking about Chun Tao, but there's no real prototype either. She has a very unique look.]

Yu Yanjun learned this from Lin Wu. She had never imagined that the photo she had lost on her way home was actually kept in the library.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, she went to the library to ask for a copy.

Yu Shu also updated "Atypical Apocalypse" three times in a row after the Dragon Boat Festival, and ended the update ahead of schedule.

The story has an end, but she, as the author, will keep on writing, and that’s what she told her readers.

Then I immediately started studying.

The system saw that she didn’t draw comics, but she spent enough time studying every day.

Ask her proactively:

[Host, do you want to do another pure painting, with wild animals on the Nile continent?]

In order to catch up with the progress, Yu Shu started taking comics classes after finishing her painting classes.

Later, I focused on updating and studying at the same time, and I didn’t immerse myself in painting for a long time.

I draw without any purpose, at my whim, without thinking about the plot, the continuity, or the storyboards.

At the beginning, it was actually difficult for her to fall in love with painting without the support of such beautiful scenery and beautiful women.

"good."

She closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, the familiar land was waiting for her.

Blue sky and white clouds, red and yellow flowers.

Yu Shu felt a warm touch beneath her body. She lowered her head and saw that the skinny leopard had grown up and was lazily carrying her on its hump.

Licking the back of Yu Shu's hand.

His clothes had been changed into a long white cloth, draped and wrapped casually, and he had bracelets on his arms and feet, made of metal and enamel, and his bare feet were suspended in the air.

Pyramids were built along the river.

Tall and majestic.

Yu Shu still hasn't figured out what plot the system has arranged this time, and why there is background music?

Could it be the ancient version of the Nile continent?

"Tilotis!"

"Ugh! Tilotis!"

The river water suddenly changed from clear to turbid golden water, which was magnificent and sinful, making people dizzy.

The leopard suddenly turned into a throne, no longer warm and fluffy, but a fur rug, and the bare feet were no longer suspended, but were held devoutly.

"Tilotis, Mother Goddess, you are finally awake!"

The very beautiful boy had the same iris mark stamped all over his body and face, and his golden eyelashes drooped low.

Guards and maids were crawling in the hall, and a strange fragrance filled the air.

Yu Shu guessed, she should be a pharaoh or a saint?

The beautiful boy's eyes were a beautiful and mysterious green, and he looked at Yu Shu pleadingly.

So Yu Shu nodded to him.

The music in the hall stopped.

The palace door opened, and the young man remembered the rules, took half a step behind, and followed Yu Shu.

This hall is a hundred meters high and is made up of layers of gold and gems. It is so dazzling that it can be compared to the sun.

"It's so exaggerated!"

Yu Shu finally completed this painting practice as a saint.

Hymns and a large group of beautiful women and handsome men following closely.

Although this scene is completely unscientific, she had interacted with animals before.

It must be said that occasionally painting a magnificent scene would greatly improve her aesthetic taste.

[The system was randomly generated based on previously collected documentaries and some programs. This palace was not designed by the system.]

Yu Shu opened her mouth to ask about the system's inspiration, but was immediately blocked by these words.

If you can't handle high technology, you'd better go and see it in person.

Yu Shu decided that this summer vacation, she would have fun, go to beautiful places, go to places with less commercialization, and go to places with unique cultural landscapes.

Never open a new pit!
