Chapter 8 Mom told you not to look back (8)
People seem to be tired of seeing her sing and dance, but she can also perform other things.
For example...
What does my daughter want to perform?
[Actually, the streamer doesn't need to perform any talents; they can just sit there and breathe.]
Yes, looking at beautiful women is a pleasing thing to do.
[Jiu Jiu: Breathing. Audience: Impressive.]
Lin Chujiu was a little embarrassed by everyone's praise and said modestly, "Please don't praise me, it makes me feel embarrassed. I would like to demonstrate how to draw talismans for everyone."
Lin Chujiu recalled some materials she had seen on her sister's desk when she was looking for clues; those materials were exactly what she could use to draw talismans.
Although it's not very professional, it's usable, though its effectiveness certainly won't be as great as proper materials.
Lin Chujiu gently unfolded the slightly worn, stiff yellow paper on the table and carefully pressed down the edges with a paperweight.
She slowly dripped water into the inkstone, picked up the ink stick, and ground the ink with unhurried ease, her movements so practiced as if she had done it a thousand times.
Once the ink had reached the desired consistency, she picked up the wolf-hair brush and traced smooth and mysterious patterns on the rice paper with its tip.
Wherever it lands, it moves with the grace of a startled swan, as swift as a swimming dragon.
Like a gentle ripple on clear water, or like wild cursive script falling to the ground.
Is the streamer really going to do this?
[Your starting stance is very professional; you've got some skill.]
What's the use of beautiful drawings if the horror world doesn't recognize them?
It's alright, as long as my beloved concubine is willing to put in the effort for me.
She held her breath and focused intently, channeling her energy through her wrist like a swimming dragon.
These are the wealth talismans her mother taught her, said to gather wealth from all directions. Although she has never verified the effectiveness of these talismans, every stroke is filled with her heartfelt sincerity.
After finishing the last stroke, she gently put down the brush and carefully lifted the talisman paper.
The ink gleamed warmly under the light, and the intricate runes seemed to contain some ancient power.
"This is a God of Wealth talisman I drew for everyone." She held the talisman in both hands, her voice as gentle as spring water, "May all the babies in the live broadcast room have abundant wealth, good luck, make a fortune every day, and have everything go as you wish."
After offering her blessings, she quietly wiped her sweaty palms under the table and gave a slightly nervous smile.
Although I don't understand it, it seems very impressive.
[Receive good fortune! Receive good fortune!]
She's so sincere, I'm crying!
[Why don't the streamer draw a talisman to ward off evil spirits?]
Don't waste your energy; player-made or purchased charms are completely useless in the horror world.
[The talisman Ruoruo drew seems to be working?]
[Who taught you this skill?]
Seeing the comments mentioning that the talisman was ineffective, Lin Chujiu's heart sank, but she quickly rallied. She still had a mission to complete, and she couldn't give up no matter what.
Moreover, although Fu did not have a history, there were still differences between the early and late histories.
Early history doesn't allow one to accumulate wealth, but later history does.
"My mother taught me," Lin Chujiu explained softly, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the edge of the talisman.
"She's the village shaman..."
At this point, Lin Chujiu lowered her eyes somewhat embarrassed, "Actually, the talismans she drew weren't very effective; the villagers all said they didn't work."
"However, I think the talismans she drew are very beautiful. They are the most beautiful talismans I have ever seen." Lin Chujiu said, raising her head and widening her eyes slightly, her tone gradually becoming full of pride.
The talismans my mother draws are the most beautiful, no matter what others think of them, they are the most beautiful in her eyes.
However, it's better to explain it clearly beforehand, in case the viewers in the live stream think she's a big shot, which could cause misunderstandings.
Lin Chujiu had just felt confident for a moment when she suddenly remembered the negative opinions the audience had had about Fu, and couldn't help but lower her head guiltily.
My daughter looks so cute when she looks guilty.
【It's okay. Drawing talismans is just superstition. Using talismans is just for peace of mind. It's already amazing that a young girl like you has such a niche talent.】
Yes, the talisman you drew is quite nice; at least it looks plausible.
[Let the streamer draw an exorcism talisman. Whether it works or not, at least it will give you peace of mind.]
As she watched the heartwarming words scrolling across the screen, Lin Chujiu's eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't remember the last time she had heard such pure encouragement.
The events of a year ago are still fresh in her mind. Because she refused to cater to the excessive demands of investors, she gradually lost the company's support.
Soon, the company found a girl with similar features to her and spent a lot of money to make her look like her. Even the few fans she had painstakingly accumulated were all transferred to that girl's name under the company's manipulation.
Just as her career hit rock bottom, her mother suddenly fell ill. The exorbitant medical expenses were like a bottomless pit, quickly depleting all her savings in just a few months.
Instead of offering any assistance, the company used contract terms to prevent her from appearing in public, effectively cutting off all her sources of income.
The pressures of life came one after another. For more than a year, she went from film set to film as an extra, and what she heard most of the time was ridicule and even more humiliating insults.
She had almost forgotten what it felt like to be genuinely praised.
However, in a live-streaming room that should have been filled with bloodshed and indifference, she was able to feel a long-lost warmth that should only be felt in the human world.
Lin Chujiu's nose tingled, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
She quickly lowered her head, trying to hide it, but sharp-eyed viewers still noticed. Those in the live stream who saw Lin Chujiu crying were somewhat at a loss.
Lin Chujiu lowered her head and wiped away her tears before daring to look up at the screen.
She tried her best to hide the fact that she had cried, but her slightly red eyes could not fool anyone.
The screen was instantly flooded with a series of concerned messages.
Lin Chujiu was just reading the comments when she saw this scene, and she couldn't hold back her tears any longer, which streamed down her face.
The viewers in the live stream were at a loss when they saw Lin Chujiu crying.
Why are you crying?
[Was it that adult man who made my daughter cry before?] [Where's Chippag?]
I'm here. Don't call me Gibage, just call me bro.
[@CrazyBigJiba, your insults weren't strong enough just now.]
Letting him go like that is too easy for him.
You all want me to ban your account, right?
[Stop, stop, stop! Shouldn't we be comforting our daughter right now?]
[If it wasn't because she was an adult male, then why was Jiu Jiu crying?]
This has confused the audience.
Lin Chujiu tried her best to suppress the soreness in her throat, and looked at the screen with teary eyes, saying, "Thank you everyone for praising me. Your words are so heartwarming, I'm almost moved to tears."
audience:"……"
They were somewhat stunned, not expecting that such common online compliments could bring such comfort to the girl in front of them.
She's too easy to appease.
