Chapter 79 Exactly the Same
Jiang Miaokong is not a fool, he understands why Shen Shixu did this, but he can't draw.
"I can't draw. Although I think I'm an elegant thief, I can only read a few words, so I'm not completely ignorant. As for painting, which is an elegant thing that cultivates one's sentiments, how can you think a thief can do it?"
Jiang Miaokong's words left Shen Shixu speechless. After spending some time with this guy and seeing him acting like a decent human being all day long, he really forgot that he was a thief.
"To be honest, you really don't look like a thief. Forget it, since you can't draw, just describe it to me."
Jiang Miaokong was just about to ask Chen Shixu what his impression of a thief looked like when he heard Chen Shixu asking him to draw it.
"Are you that good? You can draw a person with just a few words. Can it be like the person? If the difference is too big, what if the waiter recognizes the wrong person?"
Shen Shixu didn't say any nonsense. He asked the innkeeper for a piece of paper and a brush, found a clean table and started drawing on it.
Shen Shixu's painting action attracted other people to watch. After watching, they all exclaimed, "This young man's painting skills are really good. It's lifelike, and it looks exactly like the tall and taciturn friend next to him."
Shen Shixu didn't know why he subconsciously painted Xiao Jinyi when he was painting, but the moment the pen put down, the image of Xiao Jinyi appeared in his mind.
But I have to say that Xiao Jinyi's appearance is really amazing and she is very suitable to be a calligraphy and painting model. With a tall stature, handsome features, and an oppressive look in his eyes, just by standing there, one could seem to see the vast army behind him.
In Shen Shixu's writing, Xiao Jinyi was wearing silver armor, his long black hair was combed into a high ponytail with a silver crown, and he was holding a blood-stained sword in his hand with blood dripping from it.
This was how Shen Shixu imagined Xiao Jinyi would perform on the battlefield. He had seen Xiao Jinyi killing people before, but Xiao Jinyi was not wearing silver armor at that time. He added the silver armor himself based on the scene at that time.
But how to say it, it fits Xiao Jinyi's bloody appearance very well. Also because of this silver armor, even though Xiao Jinyi is holding a bloody sword in his hand, the feeling he gives people is not scary, but a kind of heroic and fearless spirit.
After Shen Shixu finished drawing the characters, he added some scenes on the back of the characters, including corpses lying on the ground, wolf smoke and broken flags.
Xiao Jinyi liked the painting very much. Not only did he like the painting, but he also liked the person who painted it. "A Xu, can you give me this painting?"
Shen Shixu originally wanted to put the painting away, but when he heard Xiao Jinyi wanted it, he gave it to him anyway, "Of course, I painted you without your permission. If you like it, you can take it away after the ink dries."
Jiang Miaokong looked at the lifelike painting, then glanced at Xiao Jinyi, and could only say that the painting skills were truly stunning.
But what puzzled him was that Shen Shixu was so good at solving cases, how could he also be so good at painting? Could it be that as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, he was also responsible for drawing wanted portraits of suspects?
"No, are you so good at drawing? Excuse me, are the portraits of suspects posted on the streets drawn by you guys who solve the cases?"
Shen Shixu didn't know why he had this idea, and explained: "Of course it's impossible, those are specially drawn by others. I can draw so well because I am very interested in painting and have studied it carefully.
After seeing the paintings I drew, now you can believe that I can draw Song Zhuoyang, right? ”
Jiang Miaokong nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, absolutely. I'll tell you then."
"He has a long face, not too long, with thick eyebrows like a knife, clear eyes, a high and straight nose, slightly thick lips, and a small brown mole under his lips.
He is very tall, about the same height as your friend, but shorter than him. He looked a bit more muscular than your friend, but not a huge man, and had a sword wrapped in cloth on his back. ”
Shen Shixu drew Song Zhuoyang's appearance according to Jiang Miaokong's description. Jiang Miaokong was amazed at the lifelike portrait.
"Your craftsmanship is truly amazing. If you are no longer an official, you will definitely have no worries about food and drink if you set up a stall selling paintings on the street."
Seeing that he liked the painting very much, Shen Shixu said, “Take this painting to the waiter later and let him identify whether it is the person who came here some time ago.
After he has seen it, I will give this painting to you!
Also, do you want to learn painting? You don't look that old. You can't always be a thief. You might as well learn a skill.
Also, tell me anything you stole before and I will return it to you. ”
Jiang Miaokong was a little overwhelmed by his kindness. This was the third person who had shown kindness to him in his life.
"I-I'll try! Are you willing to teach me?"
Shen Shixu thought that he already had two apprentices, so one more wouldn't be too many.
"If you want to learn from me, I'm willing to teach you."
Jiang Miaokong was of course willing to learn, "I want to learn. I have been traveling around since I was a child, and have been to many places and seen many landscapes. I want to draw these things.
And you just asked me to return the stolen things. To be honest, I didn't actually steal things very often, and I returned the stolen things after two days.
The first time I stole something, I met Song Xianghe. Because he didn't look down on my background and became friends with me, and even taught me to read, I didn't become a complete thief.
The money I usually spend is saved from running errands for others or delivering letters for others. ”
When Shen Shixu heard him mention Song Xianghe, he felt sorry for the person who passed away at such a young age.
While they were talking, the ink had dried. Jiang Miaokong picked up the painting and went to find the waiter who had just talked to them. He stuffed a few coins into his pocket and asked him to identify whether the person in the painting was the one who had returned a few days ago.
The waiter looked at the painting carefully and exclaimed, "Oh my God, I can't say they are exactly the same, I can only say they are the same person.
It's just that the look in his eyes isn't right. The person in the painting looks very upright, but the look in the eyes of the person I saw two days ago was not like that.
I can’t really say which one it is, but it just looks like he’s difficult to get along with and a little scary.
Apart from the look in his eyes, that person doesn't have that little mole under his lips. Could these two be twins? ”
As the waiter was looking at the portrait, he suddenly discovered that the person in the portrait had a small mole under his lips, but the person he had seen two days ago did not have that mole.
But the two people look so similar, they should be twins, but he has never heard that the crazy woman gave birth to two children.
