Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The third drawing
The next morning, Pei Qing woke up at nine o'clock.
She woke up early today and stretched in bed before sitting up.
Han Heyue posted as usual, "Work is so hard", "When will my sister get rich", "Take care of me"...
The last one he posted was, "Damn, Baldy has assigned me another mission. No wonder my hair has fallen out. This is karma!"
Pei Qing was used to it. After comforting him with a few words, he began to stare at the wall in a daze.
After she was in a daze, she went to wash her face and then she felt fully awake.
She opened the backstage of Panda TV and saw that "Big Coke" had sent her several messages yesterday.
This "Big Coke" should be the owner of the Husky she drew.
Pei Qing glanced at them, intending to ignore them, and instead looked at the other unread messages.
Well, there were two people who asked for commissions. One was drawing a pet snake, and the other was drawing a popular gaming character.
Pei Qing replied in order. He opened the game and played a few rounds to get a feel for it before starting to paint.
By the time we finished work, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
Pei Qing yawned and took out his drawing again to look at it.
No problem, it's normal. She didn't draw anything weird this time.
Reassured.
Pei Qing thought secretly that virtual characters were safer and risk-free.
She handed in the manuscript promptly and settled the payment with the client.
Today's account received 240.
Pei Qing calculated her savings. After paying a year's rent, her savings had shrunk. She still had to work hard to take orders.
She stood by the window full of energy, the sunlight pouring through the gauze curtains shining on her face.
Pei Qing basked in the sun for a while and felt his pores relaxed.
Comfortable!
Next is the question that humans think about every day.
What do I eat?
Pei Qing thought about it, opened the takeaway and took a look, and finally ordered steamed chicken.
＊
Time passed quickly, and it was already time for the evening live broadcast.
Pei Qing turned the ring on his hand, turned on the live broadcast, said hello to everyone, and began to prepare today's theme painting.
[Good evening, madam. What are you going to draw tonight? ]
Pei Qing: [I finished the list this morning. I'll just draw a few portraits for everyone. First come, first served.]
She just said one sentence, then opened the pro and started drawing.
She was very skilled in drawing portraits. She first drew a beauty in green ancient costume, and even completed the headdress bit by bit.
【Wow, so colorful! 】
【It is gorgeous. 】
[Who is it? ]
[It’s the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, the 2008 edition. ]
【Played by Roger Kwok. 】
【I want, I want, give it to me, give it to me. 】
Pei Qing finished drawing and continued typing on the public screen: [Take it yourself, take the screenshot yourself, I'll take a picture for everyone. ]
It was originally a means of attracting traffic, and Pei Qing didn't care whether he could make money or not.
Just as the comments were praising the painting non-stop, another comment popped up.
[The painting is good, are you still accepting orders? 】
The new boss has appeared, and Pei Qing immediately became alert.
[Next, what type of painting do you want to do, boss? ]
Lin Cheng looked at the message Qian Ya sent her and started typing on the public screen.
【I want to draw a family portrait for my uncle’s family. 】
Pei Qing: [Sure, no problem.]
Hey? I'll take it.
Lin Cheng drank a sip of happy water and continued to follow Qian Ya's request: [But this family photo of mine was taken twelve years ago. ]
Pei Qing felt something was wrong.
No, why would you take a family photo from twelve years ago? Aren't there any recent photos?
Are you kidding me?
When doing live broadcasts, you always meet all kinds of people.
There are only a little over one hundred and less than two hundred people in her live broadcast room now, so the probability of there being any weirdos should be very low.
But we cannot rule out the possibility that there are people who are looking for trouble with malicious intent.
The boss is God, so he must treat it with caution. Pei Qing continued to ask cautiously: [That’s not easy to draw. Do you have any recent photos? ]
Lin Cheng sent several crying emojis in succession.
[No, wuwuwuwu, my cousin was abducted by kidnappers twelve years ago and has not been found yet. All I have is this old family photo...]
The comments on the barrage started to look pitiful.
[How miserable.]
[It’s been twelve years, and I can hardly find it. ]
[Uh, it’s been twelve years, and my uncle’s family hasn’t given birth to another child? ]
【Even if you have another child, it won't be the same child as before.】
[Are children consumable? If one is gone, just have another. Can having another solve everything? ]
[Then life has to go on. ]
[Damn it, I always thought that people who surf the same website as me wouldn’t be so feudal. ]
…
Pei Qing typed silently: [Boss, it’s not easy to draw. It’s a bit difficult. ]
Extraordinary difficulty.
Lin Cheng then asked: [Didn’t you learn about the human body when you were studying art? Just look at my uncle and aunt’s faces and draw a son.]
Pei Qing was stunned. She said helplessly: [Not very good. ]
I'm not a geneticist, so how can I draw a son's appearance based on his parents' faces?
If I could draw it, I would be a god!
wrong--
I've been feeling a bit psychic lately.
Did she/he do this on purpose?
This thought quickly flashed through Pei Qing's mind.
She clicked on the user's ID and took a look. It was a level six account. He wouldn't be so idle as to play tricks on me.
If you want to cause trouble, find a newbie with a small account.
While she was hesitating, Lin Cheng continued typing: [My mother has been crying anxiously recently. My uncle and aunt have been working outside while looking for the child. They are almost fifty years old and their health is not good. They are reluctant to go to the hospital and want to save money to look for the child. My mother is crying anxiously...]
Someone on the public screen said: [I still have to advise, I'm not saying it, it's really necessary to have another child, otherwise you will be mentally exhausted after looking for another child for more than ten years. ]
[Then the child is found and discovers that he has a younger brother or sister. How do you feel? ]
[It has been twelve years, but I still can’t find it. It is either in the field or in the mountain.]
【For the previous one, can you think of something better? 】
…
Pei Qing wasn't typing.
Lin Cheng waited for a while and found that the comments were quite controversial, but the host didn't say a word.
She was in a dilemma and asked Qian Ya: "I see she doesn't want to answer it?"
Qian Ya: "Keep playing the victim."
Lin Cheng: "Is this useful?"
Qian Ya: "I think the lady is young, she must be a kind person."
Lin Cheng: "Is there any causal relationship between being young and being kind?"
Qian Ya affirmed: "Last time she even followed suit to scold the old hag. The lady must have simple moral values, and playing the victim must be useful."
Lin Cheng: "What if she keeps silent?"
Qian Ya: "You just keep playing the victim. Increase your level of pity. Didn't I give you photos? Photos of my uncle when he was young and his current photos. Send them to her!"
Lin Cheng had nothing to say "fuck". She also remembered the shock she felt when she first saw the photo.
Forget it, this guy is the sponsor and has given her the money, so she should just work harder.
She continued typing on the public screen: [For so many years, my mother has been very worried. If my uncle passes away one day, my mother will be without a brother, and I will be without an uncle. My uncle was very kind to me when I was a child.]
[In fact, I wanted to draw this family portrait because I wanted to persuade my uncle to go to the hospital. He is always worried that he has no money to find his son. However, his health is bad, and even if he finds his son, he won’t be able to accompany him for a few years. He doesn’t listen to what we say. Well, I just hope that seeing the family portrait can cheer him up a little bit…]
After typing, Lin Cheng felt that she couldn't put too much psychological pressure on the anchor, so she continued: [Ah, actually we also know that this is just a sustenance, and it can't be taken seriously. Our family also knows what everyone said. Maybe my cousin is gone a long time ago, but I have to give my uncle an idea, let him believe that his son is still alive, so that he can go to the hospital for treatment. ]
The public screen also echoed: [Yes, people live on a breath, and only if they have ideas can they live. ]
[You can also draw one for me, ma’am. This kind of thing can’t be taken seriously.]
Lin Cheng felt that there was a chance, but she couldn't force him to do it, so she immediately changed her words: [Hey, Madam, if you don't have time to draw, forget it. I just had a wild idea, and it's really a bit difficult to draw. In fact, I don't remember what my cousin looks like. He was only 6 years old when he was abducted. It's been more than ten years, and I don't know if he is fat or thin now. My uncle's birthday is coming soon, and he hasn't relaxed for more than ten years...]
[Hey, I was a little dazed when I got the photo yesterday. It turns out that my cousin looked like this when he was a child. I really can't remember it at all, but my uncle must have never forgotten it. ]
She spoke miserably, and felt unhappy on the public screen, and began to curse the human traffickers.
Pei Qing stared at the public screen again and again, thinking in her heart.
Answer it or not.
First, we need to confirm whether this is true.
No one would try this kind of thing on me, right?
Pei Qing hesitated. There were too many missing people in this world.
As for the families of these missing people, she happened to know how they felt every day.
She looked at the white wall, on which hung a photo of five people.
But when this photo was taken, there were only four people, and the other one was photoshopped in.
Pei Qing looked at the photo thoughtfully, and then made a decision.
She said on the public screen: [You can draw, but the effect is not guaranteed, it can only be used as a consolation. ]
Lin Cheng: There is hope.
Qian Ya was also excited: "Quick, send the photo to her, so that she won't change her mind! Send it quickly!"
Lin Cheng praised on the public screen: [Madam, you are really beautiful and kind-hearted. From now on, I will be your loyal fan! I will send you the photos right away! Check the private message! ]
She quickly sent the photo to Pei Qing.
Pei Qing opened the dialog box and took a look. There were two photos of a couple on it. Obviously, one of them was when they were young, probably in their early twenties. They were in high spirits with a smile on their lips, and had never experienced any hardship.
The person in the other photo looked much older, with white hair and tightly pursed lips. He seemed extremely nervous and did not even relax at the moment of taking the photo.
Pei Qing knew that if he saw the real person, the shock would be even greater.
She sighed and looked at the several photos of children sent by Lin Cheng. This should be the abducted child.
Pei Qing struggled and said: [I can only try to draw. ]
Lin Cheng: [Madam, if you are willing to paint, you are the benefactor of our whole family! ]
Pei Qing opened the pro, selected a new canvas, and thought about starting to paint.
Ten minutes have passed and the painting is still blank.
Lin Cheng's task was completed. She looked at the blank canvas and said to Qian Ya, "Hey, do you have any idea?"
Qian Ya immediately said: "Didn't you see the draft picture and the video? They are exactly the same!"
Lin Cheng thought, it could also be a coincidence.
She simply wanted to make some money, so she packaged the draft drawings and videos and gave them to Qian Ya.
These sisters are really serious.
But she didn't provoke Qian Ya. With sympathy for the families of the abducted children, she said, "I heard, I just heard, that the Ministry of Public Security is now building a separate system to find missing children. You can go and register it again."
Qian Ya: "I went, but there is no news."
Lin Cheng: Okay.
She was bored and found some snacks to eat.
When I looked at the public screen again, I found that Pei Qing had already started drawing.
Strangely, the first thing she sketched was not a person, but a platform.
Lin Cheng: "Huh?"
As the outline of the platform became clearer and clearer, Lin Cheng gradually saw a few words on the platform.
She read out: "Hongmen East Station."
She knew this place; there was a vegetable market next to it.
Isn't it a family portrait?
