Chapter 52-51° Do overseas cultural relics need to go home? (8)
"Especially you, that Hanfu is talking about you!"
"Look at that little Cupid over there. He's making me laugh to death."
Among those statues, there are several small Cupids, all of which look similar, but only a few of them have glowing heads.
Mixed among the stone heads of the Cupids were a few shiny bronze animal heads.
The most eye-catching ones are the bull head and the horse head. Not only are they bigger, but their faces are also longer. When placed on the body of Cupid, the little god of love, they are particularly obvious...
Our male protagonist stood in front, staring at the two unique heads, and couldn't help but frowned.
"Can cows and horses also be Cupids?"
Rashed covered his head which was injured in the previous battle and glanced at it casually, but for the sake of his leader's face, he still gave his own opinion.
"Maybe the farmer had it built to pray for an increase in livestock production?"
I have to say that Rashed's guess sounds somewhat reasonable, but our male protagonist Curtis shook his head and showed an arrogant expression.
"You haven't read enough books, Rashed."
"If farmers really want to increase production, they don't need to create Cupids with cow and horse heads."
"They can just paint the statue black."
Curtis gave an unfathomable smile.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the entire museum fell silent. Even Rashed, who was the slowest to react, changed his expression after he savored it carefully.
This, this, this...can this be said?
The inspector became excited and kept looking at the employees with his eye, which was bruised by a punch. He was ready to stop anyone who tried to attack him.
But—nothing happened.
Even the few black employees looked away, whistled and pretended to look around, without responding at all.
Inspector: ...
How come these people still look down on others? !
The noble Sir Curtis Norinbrenner can keep calm after making such remarks. If it were a powerless little inspector like him, he would deserve to be beaten, right?
Just when the inspector was feeling depressed, our Zhuge Wenren, who was dressed as the curator, immediately came over and started explaining.
"My dear Sir, this Cupid with a cow and a horse's head actually has a special meaning!"
"As we all know, marriage is the grave of love. In Eastern mythology, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters are symbols of hell, representing the meaning of love entering the grave!"
"Help! Even Zhuge Liang said this? But my lifelong wish is to have a love relationship!"
"Yes, the meaning of life is to find a good couple, but is it all over after you achieve the right result?"
"Prime Minister Zhuge is right. As long as you don't get married, you will always have an endless supply of love!"
"What is the Aquaman speaking upstairs?"
I have to say that what the curator said sounds a bit ridiculous. After all, how can some things in Western mythology be related to the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters?
But our male protagonist, Curtis, actually nodded in agreement.
What you said is true!
If he enters the grave of marriage too early, then the female companions who hold parties and salons with him will definitely be sad!
However, just as Curtis nodded and was about to speak in agreement, a sharp girl broke the silence of the entire meeting room.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"True love can never be extinguished!"
Everyone turned and looked towards the door.
It was a woman wearing a Western puffy skirt, but with a typical gentle oriental face, who was yelling hysterically.
It’s the heroine, it’s a picture of a lady!
The lady in the picture lifted her long skirt with both hands and stood at the door with an angry expression.
"Curtis and I will definitely be together forever! Just like my existence, the scene of our love will be passed down through the ages and admired by people all over the world in museums!"
After Curtis took the painting of the lady home, she was conquered in about a week. She was now devoted to this man wholeheartedly, and her whole body was emitting pink bubbles of love.
"My destined one will definitely marry me in a grand sedan chair with a beautiful wedding dress, and marry me as his first wife!"
After finishing speaking, Shi Nu Tu stared at Curtis with hope in her eyes, as if she hoped he would say a few words.
Curtis: ...
To be honest, he kind of didn't want to.
When he first learned about this mysterious ancient oriental painting, he was fascinated by it for a while because the woman in the painting was like an elf who could walk into reality.
Think about it this way: the handsome guy in your two-dimensional anime poster can walk into the three-dimensional world and fall in love with you. This is something that would make you laugh even in your dreams.
But as the eldest son of a noble family, no matter how much Curtis spent his time in debauchery and pleasure-seeking with beauties, he still had to shoulder his family responsibilities and marry a noble lady of equal status.
Instead of giving birth to mixed-race children with women of other skin colors.
Taking a step back, even if his parents were extremely open-minded and agreed to let him marry an oriental woman, it was still uncertain whether he and Shi Nu Tu could have children!
After all, there is reproductive isolation!
It's impossible for a person to have a child with a painting!
If it were really possible, the used toilet paper in his bedroom bedside table would have been...
Ahem, I can’t say what follows.
Curtis seemed to want to change the subject without making a sound, and he gave a gentle smile.
"My Darling, why did you come out alone? Are you dissatisfied with the 1982 red wine I opened?"
Obviously, the topic change was a bit abrupt, which made the expectant look on the lady's face fade.
Seeing that he couldn't fool the person, Curtis reached out and rubbed his temples helplessly.
"Come on, dear, you know this is very difficult for me."
"Even if our parents agree to our marriage, you will still have to wear a pure white wedding dress. Besides, where can I get your sedan chair?"
"If something like this appeared on our Western streets, it would definitely be pointed at."
"If you behave yourself and don't let my future wife find out about you, maybe our relationship will last longer..."
These rubbish left the Lady in the Painting dumbfounded, and also left the other oriental artifacts in the museum's exhibition hall speechless.
"In other words, you don't intend to take responsibility for my reputation?" The voice of the Lady Picture was trembling, and the other cultural relics, who glanced over secretly, also had a hint of sympathy.
It's not a big deal for this little girl to be in love with a foreigner, but it's a big problem if she's in love with someone whose ancestors plundered cultural relics from other countries!
This is not only hurting others but also yourself!
The lady covered her face, turned around and ran away whimpering.
But those who are attentive will notice that the Lady runs very slowly, not because she is just a painting, but actually after becoming a human, her running speed is no different from that of a normal woman. … She just hopes Curtis can catch up.
This is not just a simple step. At her speed, those tripods can catch up with her even if they crawl. This is not just a step, it's basically an elevator!
Curtis did hesitate for a moment, but did not chase after him.
"Why are you still standing there? Forget about what happened today and find my lost cultural relic!"
"If you can't find it, you all get out! You guys are just trying to get my salary!"
Hearing these words, the Oriental artifacts that had originally wanted to sneak away while Curtis was out chasing the Lady Painting said: …
This is too despicable!
The barrage of comments were also flooding the screen.
"Is the character ooc? The male lead in the drama is a very gentlemanly aristocrat! How could he be such a jerk?"
"Wait, I recalled the plot I've seen, and the hero never seemed to say that he wanted to marry the heroine..."
"This is simply terrifying when you think about it."
"I was smiling and enjoying the whole process, but now it feels like a bucket of cold water has been poured on my head. Sisters, run away if you meet a man like this!"
"Let me struggle for a moment. This is a love drama. They will definitely be together in the end... although it hasn't been finished yet and there's no ending yet."
The curator took out his feather fan again, and while waving it, he sighed. Suddenly, he was covered by a shadow. Turning around, he saw that it was the refrigerator coming over.
The refrigerator transmitted a feeling of doubt.
It didn't quite understand why the lady ran away crying.
It's just that the negotiations broke down. In its eyes, it is normal, even common, for the buyer and the customer service of the refrigerator seller to cancel the transaction due to a breakdown in negotiations.
After e-commerce became popular, many people even took their refrigerators home and returned them without giving any reasons after using them for 7 days. This is not uncommon.
This did make Refrigerator depressed, but it wasn't as depressing as the one in the painting of the ladies, with an expression as if the sky had fallen and running out crying.
The scholar in the guise of curator covered his face with a fan and pondered for a few minutes before finally figuring out how to explain.
"Refrigerator. Let me give you an example."
"In the summer, your refrigerated area is full of ice cream, popsicles, and crushed ice; your fresh-keeping area is filled with ice cola, sour plum soup, green bean paste... and half a piece of ice watermelon with a spoon stuck in it."
As the scholar described the portrait, the refrigerator also came into my imagination. What he described was really too beautiful. It was a wonderful imagination of the working of a refrigerator.
but!
The literati seemed to have turned around.
"But the human who used you opened your refrigerator door and shook his head in disappointment!"
"Then I opened the food delivery app and ordered two glasses of iced lemonade..."
As the scholar said this, he suddenly felt that the shadow over him had disappeared. He turned around and suddenly found that the refrigerator had shrunk into the corner, looking autistic and shrouded in shadow.
Looks like a big shock!
I can empathize right away!
I can only say that he is worthy of being Prime Minister Zhuge. Even if it is just a statue of a scholar, it can make a refrigerator fall into autism.
At this time, seeing that Curtis never caught up with the lady, she was really sad. She quickened her pace and unknowingly broke into an unfamiliar exhibition hall.
This exhibition hall is so far away that even though I have been in the museum for a long time, this is the first time I have heard of Paintings of Ladies.
When she wiped her tears and realized that she had entered by mistake, she saw that there were some marble statues with kind faces here, and they were also affected by the blood moon and came to life.
When I saw the painting of a lady, a crying little girl ran in, and I hurriedly asked her what happened.
Looking at the kind faces of these sculptures, you couldn't help but tell them about your own experiences and your love story.
Little did she know that she had found the right person.
If she had noticed the words on the outside of the exhibition hall, she would have known the characters written on it, which were -
Ancient Greek Idol Museum
No one understands love better than them.
