Chapter 318: The Eye and the Son of God
"I..." Just then a group of pigeons flew to the window, and Mei Xiaonan's eyes fell on two gray pigeons that were leaning against each other and pacing slowly.
The scene was very beautiful, but the memory was so painful that her face turned pale instantly.
"I want to hear your voice." She smiled.
Ge Fu on the opposite side fell silent immediately.
She realized that although Mei Xiaonan mustered up the courage to come to Mengsha Country, she had already used up all her strength by the time she got here.
So she needs to draw strength from the outside world.
Ge Fu was not disappointed. Mei Xiaonan was only 22 years old, but she had already experienced things that others would never experience in their lifetime. In fact, it was already a surprise that she could come.
"Don't be afraid." Ge Fu said gently, "If you don't believe me, just look. There are far more people who support you than those who oppose you."
“The person being resented is not necessarily wrong, and silence is not necessarily approval.”
When the incident happened, not everyone was against Mei Xiaonan. In fact, there were as many people who supported her as those who criticized her.
"I just..." Mei Xiaonan took a deep breath, "I'm not afraid, I'm hesitant."
"What are you hesitating about?" Ge Fu was puzzled.
"His parents..." Mei Xiaonan said in a low voice, "After he died, his uncle and aunt moved away. But last year, when they came back to handle the paperwork, they met me. At that time, they said sorry to me. I was afraid that if the matter came out again, they would be disturbed."
Hearing this, Ge Fu sneered, "What is there to worry about? Didn't they move? Even if they are disturbed, they deserve it. Not every mistake can be corrected with just three words 'I'm sorry'."
Back then, the two old men tried every possible means to make Mei Xiaonan forgive their son. Kneeling down and begging in front of Mei Xiaonan was just a small move. What really shocked people's worlds was that they knelt down and begged on a live broadcast, asking them to find a way to make Mei Xiaonan change his mind.
——It sounds nice, but what can netizens do? It’s nothing more than cyberbullying.
After hanging up the phone, Ge Fu said to Luo Yaosen: "Let's go inside."
When they entered, Tan Xi pointed out the skylight to Ge Fu and said, "It's too early now, so you can't see it, but at noon, light will shine in, as if creating another world, becoming a barrier to separate us from the outside world."
The exhibition hall is very large, and natural light alone cannot keep the room fully bright, even at noon when the sun is shining brightly. However, Gofu is particularly interested in this point, because artificial lighting can be used to create small spaces one after another, allowing fans to be more engaged when visiting.
There is a circular corridor around the main hall. The irregular lines and disordered lights make this place look bizarre.
Luo Yaosen looked up and saw that most of the paintings here were abstract paintings. He was really bad at this, but he didn't know if it was because they were painted by Gofu, but he could vaguely see the strong or almost absent emotions in these paintings.
What caught his attention was a group portrait.
That's an aerial view.
It was as if a pair of eyes were looking down from the sky, gazing at the crowd below.
But the crowds were not realistic. Although the crowds themselves were sketched sloppily, even without facial features, their clothes seemed to be emphasized, some in suits, some in flowing dresses, some in fashionable fashion... In short, they all seemed to be decent people. However, the shadows beneath them were waving in the sun, as if ghosts were about to be born.
That sense of horror and a very faint sense of indifference are so catchy.
Luo Yaosen went to look at the nameplate below the painting, which read: "Eye".
He was stunned, "Why is it called this name?" He thought the name would be "Goblin", "Shadow", or "Human Heart".
Gofu looked at the painting with a complicated expression.
This painting was drawn right after she came out of the hot spring and the Emperor of Heaven took her on a high-altitude flight for the first time.
At that time, she hadn't sorted out all her thoughts. Her mind was in a mess about Lu Yao, Yang Shaoheng, Xiao Yuan, and all the past events of her father's generation.
At that time, she looked at the crowd below and felt that every face was distorted. The world was getting farther and farther away from her. The indifference in her heart was like a hole that almost swallowed her.
So, the name of this painting is "Eye".
Because, it was her eyes that "saw" it.
Goforth made no reply.
In fact, the painter will not explain every one of his works clearly.
That is not a wise behavior.
If it's too clear, there's no mystery.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Luo Yaosen didn't force her.
The two walked around a rest area and came to the new exhibition hall area.
Seeing the contents of the exhibition hall, Luo Yaosen was stunned again.
"These are..." He looked incredulous, "Detailed paintings of flowers and birds?"
Goforth nodded.
There is not much to say about the detailed flower and bird paintings, after all, they are all realistic works.
But even so, these works are still shocking.
It is often believed that flower and bird fine brushwork focuses more on form than spirit, and is considered to be not worthy of being displayed in a refined setting.
But it is hard to have such an idea just by looking at Gofu's works.
Because they are all so beautiful, beautiful in the secular sense.
The painter is very good at capturing the best side of flowers and birds, and is also good at using painting skills to bring their beauty to paper.
Especially the picture of a group of eagles migrating, in which the lazy or domineering postures of those kings of the sky are displayed one by one, which makes it hard not to be shocked.
Luo Yaosen said sincerely: "I think the paintings in this area are the best."
There is no threshold to appreciate flower and bird fine brushwork, and its goodness can be seen at a glance. Even an illiterate person will find these words good.
Ge Fu smiled faintly.
These detailed paintings of flowers and birds were all drawn during the journey. It can be said that each frame of the painting healed her heart little by little at that time.
That's all for the first floor. The second floor is smaller and irregular in shape. The themes of the paintings here are relatively messy, including realistic oil paintings, abstract paintings, Chinese paintings and even watercolor paintings.
Luo Yaosen’s favorite painting on this floor is a mythological painting.
He felt that this painting looked the most down-to-earth. The child with delicate and cute eyes was wearing a bright red vest and shorts, holding a toy gun in one hand and a long sword in the other, with a pair of roller skates under his feet. His short hair was flying behind his head, and his eyes were lively and spirited.
The name of this painting is "Son of God".
Luo Yaosen could not see anything else but that the painter was very fond of the child in the painting, and every stroke was filled with tenderness and love.
It was as if it was his own child.
and many more……
He suddenly looked at Ge Fu, "Is this Zhi Ge?"
Ge Fu was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "It's him and it's not him."
I can only say that this was how I imagined him before we met.
