But just because she left, it doesn't mean she gave up.
After leaving the wooden house, Ye Mi ran to find Grandma again.
She didn't know from other people in the village that the old man who fished was once a painter, but the old lady knew it. If nothing else, they must have known each other in the past.
Ye Mi was going to find her to ask why the old man was unwilling to interpret the painting.
Seeing Ye Mi coming back, there was no surprise on grandma's face, as if she had known that he would return empty-handed.
"Little Mi is here, is it because old man Zhao refuses to help you?"
"Yeah." Ye Mi was a little depressed. He told her what had happened and then asked her if she knew why the old man was unwilling to explain the painting.
Grandma sighed, "I'm too old to be useful anymore. I forgot to tell you..."
"Actually, it's just that old man Zhao is being stubborn..."
It turned out that when he was in the City Lord's Mansion, people often came to him for interpretation of paintings because of his ability to hide and interpret paintings.
Although the City Lord's Mansion paid him a high monthly salary, he did not help people interpret paintings for money, but just for fun.
He enjoyed the feeling of slowly revealing the hidden secrets.
Having worked as a painter in the City Lord's Mansion for less than half a year, he had solved more than one hundred and ten paintings, which was very close to completing one painting a day.
Most importantly, he never made any mistakes in his interpretation of the paintings and none of his paintings were damaged.
Even though he has solved a lot of paintings, he actually feels that they are not worth mentioning.
Because these are the most basic and simplest ways to hide paintings.
Until one day, the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion secretly handed him a painting.
He could tell almost immediately that this painting was a result of multiple painting techniques, with overlapping paintings.
It's like an old scholar who loves to study has encountered a difficult problem.
I was so focused on how to solve the problem that I forgot to delve into the story behind it.
It took him a whole month to finally decipher the painting.
The butler gave him a generous gift to thank him.
The excitement and sense of satisfaction of solving the problem surrounded him.
Three days later, he heard that the butler was imprisoned for using his power to oppress and secretly kill ordinary people.
His heart skipped a beat.
Obviously, he and the butler were not very familiar with each other, and the few contacts they had were just him coming to him to inquire about the progress of the interpretation.
But he inexplicably had a bad feeling.
Later, this unpredictable premonition came true.
The painting he had taken so much trouble to unravel turned out to have belonged to the family murdered by the housekeeper.
Because the family was short of money, they sold their ancestral paintings, which were bought by the housekeeper.
At first, the butler only looked at this painting.
It was not until later when he saw many people coming to ask Painter Zhao to interpret their paintings that he began to have such an idea.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the painting was placed in front of Painter Zhao, he firmly said that the painting could be solved.
It can be solved, but it is difficult.
The housekeeper was a thoughtful person, and he immediately thought of what might be found after this ancestral heirloom was unlocked.
So he secretly asked someone to watch over the family during the period of interpreting the painting, until Painter Zhao interpreted the painting a month later.
He didn't realize at that time that the painting was actually a treasure map after being solved!
The butler was ecstatic when he got the treasure map. He dug up the treasure himself and got a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.
In order to prevent the news from leaking out, he killed all the people involved in the incident.
This includes not only the family, but also the person who monitored him and the person who accompanied him to dig for treasure...
Except for Painter Zhao.
After all, he was different from the others, he was a member of the City Lord's Mansion and the City Lord's favorite painter (he was the one who painted for Fu Guang), so he didn't dare to act rashly.
However, the butler also knew that this person simply liked to interpret paintings, and perhaps he didn't even realize that this was a treasure map.
So the butler let him go.
Otherwise, if he really wanted to kill Painter Zhao, he could always find his way if he put in some effort.
After knowing the truth, Painter Zhao was heartbroken.
A feeling of sadness arose in his heart: "I didn't kill my uncle, but my uncle died because of me."
He was thinking, if he had not solved the problem at the beginning, would this tragedy have avoided happening?
Hide paintings.
The word "hidden" is enough to explain that these contents are things that the painter does not want outsiders to know easily.
But he didn't take it to heart.
After solving the painting, he felt very proud of himself and secretly rejoiced at how great he was.
But he didn't know that because of this hidden matter, innocent people were hurt.
After this incident, he refused the city lord's attempt to keep him and resolutely chose to leave the city lord's mansion.
Not only that, he also vowed that he would never interpret paintings again from now on.
After hearing this story, Ye Mi sighed.
Who is the culprit?
That must be the butler.
Is there anything wrong with Painter Zhao’s interpretation of the painting?
It can be said that it is wrong or not.
If he hadn't interpreted the painting, the butler wouldn't have known it was a treasure map and would have thought it was just an ordinary painting, and he wouldn't have killed so many people to hide the treasure.
There is nothing wrong with the decipherable painting itself.
“What a pity.”
Put yourself in their shoes.
Although Ye Mi really hoped that he could help.
But if something like this happened to me, there is a high possibility that I would make the same choice as him.
"It's a pity indeed... It's inevitable that I blame myself for something like this, but I've tortured myself for so many years... I can't stop myself."
Grandma sighed.
After knowing this story, Ye Mi knew that Mr. Zhao’s path was not going to work.
Rather than fighting here and making him constantly reminded of the "wrong things" he had done, it would be better to find another way.
If we were to ask who in the village has the most connections and the most information, it would definitely be Mison.
Although she had looked for Mison once before, she did not come here to look for a painter this time.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Ye Mi went home to rest for a night, waiting to go see him tomorrow.
The seventh day of the city battle, the first day of the siege mode.
As expected.
Things are just as all players expected.
Today's beast tide levels are all at level ten.
Not only that, today's siege battle mode does not randomly select ten satellite cities to be attacked by the beast tide, but all satellite cities will be attacked by the beast tide.
When the beast tide ended yesterday, none of the ten cities in Luoxing City were lost.
In fact, the main reason was that Ye Mi sent over so much ammunition bought (cheated) from Misen.
Otherwise, unless they try their best and use their trump cards, they will lose at least one satellite city.
Silvermoon City still ranks first, with only eight of the original ten subsidiary cities remaining.
It was said that in order to save the remaining two attacked satellite cities yesterday, the Yiwan Gang and other small gangs in Silver Moon City played all their trump cards.
