The Hundred Flowers Citycenter, in the biggestsquare, Bai Muye the drawing boardis sittingin a corneris in a daze there.百花城中心,最大的广场上,白牧野支着画板坐在一个角落在那里发呆。Iam a child!
我还是个孩子啊!Child'sQuest, does not studywell, the remainingtimeare used forvarioustypes of waves?
孩子的任务,不就是好好学习,剩下时间用来各种浪的吗?
Aren't otherthings the responsibility of guardian?
其他的事情不都是家长的责任么?Whycansuchcrueltreatmentchild?
为什么要这样残忍的对待孩子?Theseyearshisgateis few, all are the old manare responsible , the money of wherecoming?
这些年他连门都很少出,所有一切都是老头子负责,哪来的钱?Becausein the account the one centdoes not have, hiscreditcannot evenoverdraw.
因为账户里一分钱都没有,他甚至连信用点都不能透支。
The old mengivehimto come such a nowsuddenly, hithisoneto be caught off guarddirectly.
老头子现在突然间给他来这么一出,直接打了他一个措手不及。Let aloneponderedownlife experienceorigin, the old manleaves his Talisman Seal Master Treasure Canonnot to have the timeto look.
别说思考自己身世来历,就连老头子留给他的那部符篆师宝典都没时间去看。Does not have the energyto go tosuddendeparture of sadold man.
更没精力去伤心老头子的突然离去。
Does hewhetmewiththiswayintentionally? Simultaneouslymakesmenot havesoto be sadhisdeparture?
他是不是故意用这种方式磨砺我?同时让我没那么伤心他的离开?Bah!
呸!Is sad!
还伤心个屁啊!Mustsimplyto the rhythm that the pitdies!
简直要把人给坑死的节奏!Luckilyalsoa littleskill, otherwise, not onlycannot pay the house rent, perhaps the bellymust unable to fill.
幸好还有点本事,不然的话,不但交不起房租,恐怕就连肚子都要填不饱了。drawing talismanfirstdraws!画符先画画!mental poweris the Talisman Seal Masterfoundation, drawing skill, similarly is also!精神力是符篆师的基础,绘画功底,同样也是!
A fiercepainternot necessarilyisTalisman Seal Master, butfierceTalisman Seal Master, absolutelyis the fiercepainter.
一个厉害的画家未必是符篆师,但一个厉害的符篆师,绝对是厉害的画家。Remembers that the old manhas toldhim, hispainting skillhas reached highest knowledge, cancompare favorably withsomeknownpainters.
记得老头子跟他说过,他的画技已经登堂入室,可以媲美一些小有名气的画家了。In the time press, cannot think that othermaking a livingmethodsinsituation, he can only think that Hundred Flowers Citysold the picture.
在时间紧迫,想不到其他谋生手段的情况下,他只能想到来百花城卖画了。The point is that how muchmoney should a picturesell?
可问题是,一张画应该卖多少钱?Cangainenoughnext monthhouse rentbeforebeginning school?
能不能在开学之前赚够下个月的房租?
His bottomdoes not have.
他一点底都没有。Moreover the idealis always plentiful, realityactuallyskinny, theseis thinner than the miss who the wolfsees to cryto want the bonefeeling.
而且理想总是丰满的,现实却骨感的很,比那些瘦得狼看见都想哭的姑娘还要骨感。Arrived the miss of thatsituationbesidesoneself, fewindividualswill actually cherishherthinly.
瘦到那种地步的姑娘其实除了自己之外,没几个人会稀罕她。Bai Muyesameno one who the streetsells the picturepays attention.
街头卖画的白牧野同样无人理会。
A morning, no onepatronizedhisbusiness.
一上午了,没有一个人光顾他的生意。This way, let alone the junctionhouse rent, he himselfpossiblysoonhad nothing to eat.
再这样下去,别说交房租,他自己可能都快要喝西北风了。Keyhisappearance, notlikelyartist.
关键他的打扮,一点都不像个艺术家。
The headwearspulls down the baseball cap of hat brim, on the faceis hoodwinking the bigmask.
头上戴着压低帽檐的棒球帽,脸上蒙着大口罩。Ifthisappearanceappearsin the remotepointplace, timidpointsaw to hide.
这一身打扮若是出现在偏僻点的地方,胆儿小点的见了都得躲着走。Butperson who he has the moral integrity!
但他是个有节操的人!
The appearancecannotsuchinexpensivebetrayingfall!
色相不能这么廉价的出卖掉!No onepatronizes the business, in the Bai Muyebrainis also indulging in flights of fancy, is thinkingthesematters that the old mansaid.
没人光顾生意,白牧野脑子里也就胡思乱想着,想着老头子说的那些事儿。Is thinkingthatisland.
想着那座岛。Last nightcheckedhalf the nightin the network, finally the woolhas not checked.
昨晚在网络上查了半宿,结果毛都没查到。Finally can only helplessmakesBig Beautyhelphimclean uptheseinquiryrecords.
最后只能无奈的让大漂亮帮他清理掉那些查询记录。Otherfoxhas not projected onannoys a showagain.
别狐狸没打到再惹一身骚。Is thinkingLin Zijin.
想着林子衿。Thathas appearedinhisdream, withlittle girl who hisfaterelies on one another, does not know that which the old mansent toher.
那个一直出现在他梦里,跟他宿命相依的小女孩,也不知道老头子到底把她送去哪了。Hedoes not even knowherinFlying Immortal Star.
他甚至不知道她在不在飞仙星。Flying Immortal Starinborder region, will be attacked bythesetrash that inDimensional Spacecrawlsfrequently.飞仙星地处边陲,又经常会遭到次元空间里爬出来的那些垃圾的攻击。IfshealsoinFlying Immortal Star, canhave the danger?
如果她也在飞仙星,会不会有危险?When can the ownmemoryuntie the seal?自己的记忆什么时候才能解开封印?
The Bai Muyecomparisoncares aboutthismatter.白牧野比较关心这件事。Heactuallynotanxiously the seal that untiesmental power, howhehas not learnedto hidethatpowerfulspiritfluctuationafter allnow, untiesdoes not have the advantage.
他倒是不急着解开精神力的封印,毕竟他现在还没学会如何隐藏那股强大的精神波动,解开也没好处。„Hello.”
“你好。”WhenBai Muyeindulges in flights of fancy, the fronttransmitssuddenlytogetherice-cold, butverynicesound.
就在白牧野胡思乱想的时候,面前突然传来一道略带冰冷,但十分动听的声音。PebblesandalsappearinBai Muyeat present.
一双透明水晶凉鞋出现在白牧野眼前。
The small feetis exquisite, the fairsnowis greasy, the bright rednailsparklesto shine, is really attractive.
小脚精巧,白皙雪腻,鲜红的指甲闪闪发亮,煞是好看。Bai Muyeraised the head, immediatelyeyeonebright.白牧野抬起头,顿时眼睛一亮。Wearcream colorreceives the young girl of waistskirt, appearsbeforehisdrawing board.
一个穿着米色收腰裙的少女,出现在他的画板前。Aura of young bloodheads on!
一股青春活力的气息扑面而来!Young girlonemeter about 68height, the long hairshawl, mild-manneredbrightZe, the headwears a fashion the domestraw hat, the faceis screwing onbigsunglasses.
少女一米六八左右的身高,长发披肩,柔顺亮泽,头上戴着一顶时尚的圆顶草帽,脸上扣着一副大墨镜。Less than halfstretch/openface who reveals, the facial featuresare perfect, the fleshplays musical instruments to break.
露出来的小半张脸,脸型完美,肌肤吹弹可破。Although the Hundred Flowers Citybeautiful womanis floating about like clouds, butthisseeminglyyoungyoung girlgave a Bai Muyeshockingfeeling.
虽说百花城美女如云,但这个看上去年龄不大的少女还是给了白牧野一种惊艳的感觉。„Hello, candraw the portrait?”
“您好您好,要画肖像么?”Bai Muyeat heartonehappy, laterlowers the voice, as far as possibleappearsbyoneselfmaturea little.白牧野心里一喜,随后压低嗓音,尽量让自己显得成熟一点儿。Althoughlittlegoes outextremely, but the youngster of heveryclearthisagerunsto giveothersto draw, the average personwill be naturaldoes not trust.
虽然极少出门,但他很清楚自己这个年纪的少年跑出来给人家画画,一般人都会天然不信任。Only ifheis willingto take off the mask and hat.
除非他肯摘下口罩和帽子。Butifsuch, it is estimated thatdo not wantto paint, will be encircledwatertightin a short time.
但若是那样,估计也别想作画了,会在短时间内被围个水泄不通。
The flash that heraised the head, that brightandlimpideyemadeQin Ranranstareslightly.
他抬头的一瞬间,那双明亮而又清澈的眼睛让秦冉冉微微愣了一下。Goodattractiveeyes!
好漂亮的一双眼!Shethinks that thisis fully-armed the exaggeratingfellowto be shameful.
她本以为这个全副武装得比自己都夸张的家伙见不得人呢。Never expected thathiseye is so attractive!
没想到他眼睛这么漂亮!Althoughhisfacewas coveredby the mask, butQin Ranran is like Bai Muye, there areto plantby the feeling of shockinglyarriving.
虽然他的脸被口罩遮住,但秦冉冉跟白牧野一样,也有种被惊艳到的感觉。„Right, portrait, but, Imustfirsthave a look atyourskill.”Qin Ranranreturned tonormal, occupies a commanding positionto look atBai Muyeto say.
“对,肖像,不过,我要先看看你的本事。”秦冉冉恢复了平静,居高临下看着白牧野说道。„Howthis does...... see?”
“这个……怎么看?”Bai Muyedoubtslooks atfrontyoung girl, thought that face under sunglasses, seems somewhat familiar, becausecannot see the eye, thereforenomeansdetermined where has seen.白牧野疑惑的看着面前的少女,觉得墨镜下的那张脸,似乎有些熟悉,不过因为看不见眼睛,所以没办法确定在什么地方见过。„Don't youhave the ready-madework?”Qin Ranranstrangeasking, is a little at heart disappointed.
“你没有现成的作品么?”秦冉冉奇怪的问道,心里已经有点失望了。In the squaregivesStreet Artist that the personpaints a portraitto be many, that butwithoutherwants.
广场上给人画像的街头画家不少,但没有她想要的那种。
The picturethingshedoes not like.
画的东西她不喜欢。Without the soul!
没灵魂!
Before arriving atBai Muyethis, shealreadycontinuouslyotherwiseseveralpeople.
来到白牧野这之前,她已经连续否了好几个人了。Herfairyismis full, outside the air entrainmentfieldis very strong, will possibly be regardedto find faultto wreck the event.
要不是她仙气十足,外加气场很强,甚至可能会被当成找茬砸场子的。Runs awayto ventilatewith great difficulty, gives birthgives itselfto draw a portrait the thoughts, shedoes not wanton.
好容易偷跑出来透透气,生出给自己画一幅肖像的心思,她不想将就。Bai Muyesaidlightly: „Does not need. Icangiveyouto drawpresently, verydoes not ask for money.”白牧野淡淡说道:“不需要。我可以现给你画,不好不要钱。”„? Suchconfident?”Qin Ranransomewhatfunnylooks atBai Muye: „Youdraw, the unattractivewords, Imayreallynot givemoney!”
“哦?这么有信心?”秦冉冉有些好笑的看着白牧野:“那你画吧,不好看的话,我可真的不给钱哦!”„Looks atyou!”
“瞧好吧您!”Bai Muye many are a little excited, thisis the life'sfirstsinglebusiness!白牧野多少有点激动,这可是自己人生第一单生意!painting techniquethisthing, toBai Muye, reaches a high degree of proficiency.画功这东西,对白牧野来说,早已炉火纯青。Takes the paint brush, has almost not seento sitinhisfrontyoung girl, thenpicturefast.
拿起画笔,几乎没怎么看坐在他面前的少女,便飞快的画起来。Hehas not requestedQin Ranranto take off the sunglasses, Qin Ranranas ifalsoforgotpicking.
他没要求秦冉冉摘下墨镜,秦冉冉似乎也忘记了摘。Actuallythislittle while, behind the Qin Ranransunglassesinthatnimble and resourcefulbigeye, stillhasseveralpointsto question.
其实这会儿,秦冉冉墨镜背后那一双灵动大眼睛里,依然是带着几分质疑的。Thislooks at the agewithoneselfsimilarly, evenare probably small, will actually pretend to be mature the fellowreallyto drawinthathardly?
这个看着年龄跟自己差不多,甚至好像比自己还小,却在那硬装成熟的家伙真的会画画?HoweverdiscoversonerarelynotlikeStreet Artist of artist, but alsoarmssuchsolidoneself, Qin Ranranfinds itveryinteresting.
不过难得发现一个不像艺术家的街头画家,还把自己武装得这么严实,秦冉冉觉得挺有趣的。Slideswith great difficultyonetime, whenrelaxed.
好容易才溜出来一次,就当放松了。A moment later.
片刻之后。
In the Qin Ranranheartponders overthisfellowcanpaint pictures, Bai Muyesuddenlyput down the paint brush.
就在秦冉冉心里面琢磨这个家伙到底会不会画画的时候,白牧野突然放下了画笔。„Drew, youhad a look.”Bai Muyeforgotis pressing the throat, sound that butspoke, was of pleasant to hear than before.
“画好了,您过来看看。”白牧野忘记了压着嗓子,但说话的声音,却是比之前好听很多。Qin Ranranis startledslightly, is the soundso of pleasant to hear? Althoughbringsshy of a little, butlowered the soundto do intentionallybeforematurelysoundsis much more comfortable than!秦冉冉微微一怔,声音这么好听?虽然带着一点点的青涩,但比之前压低声音故作成熟听起来舒服得多!However, did thisdraw?
但是,这就画好了?Inherheartraiseslightbeing inwardly angry, is really the fellow who will not paint pictures!
她心里面升起一股淡淡的愠怒,果然是个不会画画的家伙吧!Was perfunctory!
太敷衍了!Thenmulti-a while?
这才多一会儿?Even ifshedoes not understand the drawing, stillknows that suchshorttime, is impossibleto complete a portrait.
就算她不懂绘画,也知道这么短的时间,是绝不可能完成一副肖像画的。Snort!
哼!In the Qin Ranranheartcoldsnort/hum, stood up, moves toward the drawing board, the heartsaidyou, ifdaresto deceiveme, looked how Itidied upyou!秦冉冉心里面冷哼一声,站起身,走向画板,心说你要是敢骗我,看我怎么收拾你!
The nickname of mysmallvenomous tonguedid not callwhite/in vain!
我小毒舌的外号可不是白叫的!Bai Muyelooks the air/QifieldsuddenlybecomespowerfulQin Ranran, somedoubts, do not understand why shethreatensall of a sudden.白牧野看着气场突然变得强大起来的秦冉冉,有些疑惑,不明白她为什么一下子气势汹汹的。„Did sucha while, draw? The studentfamily/homestreetearns living, can youalsoa little......?”
“这么一会儿,就画完了?学人家街头卖艺,你也得有点……咦?”
The Qin Ranranwhole persondumbfounded, glassy-eyedlooks at the drawing board.秦冉冉整个人都呆住了,目光呆滞的看着画板。On the drawing boardthatbrings the domestraw hat, the faceto screw on the female of bigsunglasses, fairyism, beautifulnotlocal products!
画板上那个带着圆顶草帽,脸上扣着大墨镜的女子,一身仙气,美艳不可方物!
Is this...... I?
这……是我?ReallyisI?
真的是我?Qin Ranranraisesat heart a feeling of difficultword.秦冉冉心里升起一股难言的感觉。Shewas shocked!
她被惊呆了!Canpainting a portrait the painter of paintpicturefeeling, is actually not wise.
一个能把画像画出照片感觉的画家,其实不算多高明。As long asthere aretenyearseightsenioritybottomspainters, almostcanachieve.
但凡有个十年八年功底的画家,都差不多能做到。But ifcanpainting a portraitpaintexceedsoneself, magnificent in artistic conceptionpainter?
但如果能把画像画出超越本人,又意境深远的画家呢?This, butactualenjoys a good reputation inmanyyears of everyonebesidesthattype, fewcanachieve.
这个说来简单,但实际除了那种享誉多年的大家之外,没有几个能做到。Qin Ranranis filled with shock!秦冉冉满心震撼!Manytimes, mediocreandare handed down for generations, differencearethattypeare unable to say the ideal condition of table.
许多时候,平庸和传世之间,差的就是那种无法言表的意境。Alsohas the soulanddoes not have the difference between souls.
也就是有灵魂和没灵魂之间的区别。
Is thispicture, the youngster who a streetearns livingcanpaintcome?
这种画,是一个街头卖艺的少年能画出来的?Ifpersonallydoes not see, Qin Ranrancannotbelieve that thisisreal.
如果不是亲眼所见,秦冉冉绝不敢相信这是真的。At this time, person who hadpassing bysaw the appearance of Qin Ranrandelay, could not bearraise one's headto look atone.
这时候,有路过的人见到秦冉冉呆滞的样子,忍不住伸头看一眼。Thislooks.
这一看,不得了了。„!”
“哇!”„fuck!”
“卧槽!”„Was thisjustdrew? Tooattractive!”
“这是刚画的?太漂亮了吧!”„Was too beautiful!”
“太美了!”
The person who in the squarecomes and goesare many, 12drivepersonally, Bai Muyeencircled a personrapidly.
广场上来来往往的人很多,有一两个人带动,白牧野身边迅速围了一圈儿人。Everyoneshocklooks on the drawing boardthatclothessleevefloatingjust like the person of fairy maiden.
所有人都震惊的看着画板上那个衣袂飘飘宛若仙子的人。At this time, finallysomepeopleas ifrealized a pointanything, looked atQin Ranran.
这时候,终于有人似乎意识到一点什么,将目光投向了秦冉冉。Qin Ranranthislittle whilealsofelt that finallysomeare not right, takes downfrom the drawing boardthatpicturerapidly, coilsonevolume, looks atBai Muye: „Number.”秦冉冉这会儿也终于感觉到有些不对,迅速把那张画从画板上取下,卷成一卷,看着白牧野:“号码。”Bai Muyesubconsciousspoke thoughtlesslyto send outonestring of numbers.白牧野下意识的随口报出一串号码。
The personal identification number, has the uniqueness, non-replicability. Almostallsocial activities, canrealizewithit.
身份识别码,具有唯一性,不可复制性。几乎一切社会活动,都可以用它来实现。„ThengivesyourmoneyO!”
“回头给你钱噢!”Qin Ranran the numberinput of Bai MuyetoownIntelligent Brain, took the pictureto slidefastalong.秦冉冉飞快将白牧野的号码输入到自己的随身智脑当中,拿着画就溜了。Does not run, mustbe surrounded!
再不跑,就要被围观了!„Does sheseem like a star?”
“她好像是个明星吧?”„Who isn't shethat...... thatis coming?”
“她不是那个……那个谁来着?”„Day, shewasQin...... Qin Ranran!”
“天呐,她是秦……秦冉冉!”„Right, isQin Ranran!”
“对对对,就是秦冉冉!”Surroundedonegroup of peoplelook the direction that Qin Ranranescapesfast, in the lookis passinginconceivable.
围观的一群人看着秦冉冉飞快逃掉的方向,眼神中都透着不可思议。Cannot think the bigstar who is popular inFlying Immortal Starwill appearin the Hundred Flowers Citystreetunexpectedly!
想不到一个红遍飞仙星的大明星居然会出现在百花城的街头!Howeverlater, the line of sight of peoplethenfellonBai Muyebody.
不过随后,人们的视线便落在了白牧野身上。Although the bigstaris rare, manyyearsare not necessarily ableto bump into, buthave no relationswithoneselfeventually.
大明星虽然罕见,多少年都未必能碰到一回,但终究跟自己没什么关系。Butthisperson of picture...... theypersonallysawa moment ago!
但这人的画……刚才他们可是亲眼所见啊!
The finething, not necessarilyneedswiseconnoisseurshipevery so often.
美好的东西,很多时候未必需要多高明的鉴赏能力。„How much money? Imustdrawone!”
“多少钱一张?我要画一张!”„Grandmaster, Ihave500, givesmeto drawone!”
“大师,我出五百,给我画一张!”„In500 the position, will arrange the platoonin the future, Ihave1000......”
“五百内位,往后排排,我出一千……”„Yourthislooks down uponGrandmaster? 1800whatshoutedblindly? Ihave10,000, firstgivesmeto draw!”
“你们这是看不起大师么?千八百的瞎喊什么?我出一万,先给我画!”„......”
“……”In the evening, Bai Muyeis dragging the exhaustedbody, is opening the ownChevy, drivestoward the cityoutside.
傍晚,白牧野拖着疲惫的身子,开着自己的老爷车,朝城外驶去。Peoplewere too frantic, to20pointsmental powera littlecannot endurebyhimfranticallyat present.
人们太狂热了,狂热到以他目前二十点的精神力都有点吃不消了。
From the picture of that10,000dollar, hispicture, was cooked up81,000high!
从那张一万块钱的画开始,他的画,最高被炒到了八万一张!Thissaid that perhapssomepeoplewill not believe.
这个说出去恐怕都不会有人信。Street Artist, howdrawsevenagainwell, is impossibleto achievethisprice.街头画家,就算画得再怎么好,也不可能达到这种价格。
The city of Hundred Flowers Citythisrank, the rich manare many.百花城这种级别的城市,有钱人很多。HoweverregardingStreet Artist, draws a picture, generallyalso100-200, evenis cheaper.
不过对于街头画家来说,画一幅画,一般也就100-200,甚至还有更便宜的。Reason thatcanbe cooked up a sky-high price, but must give credittothattakes the pictureto run, has not givenmoneyby the presentbigstarQin Ranran.
之所以能被炒出一个天价,还要归功于那个拿了画就跑,到现在都没给钱的大明星秦冉冉。Bai Muyelags behind, whenpeoplediscuss spiritedlyfinallythinks that face was very why familiar.白牧野后知后觉,在人们议论纷纷的时候终于想到那张脸为什么很熟悉了。BecauseHundred Flowers Cityeverywhereisheradvertisement, outsidevariousskyscrapers the entirepicture on wall, projectstovoidhuge...... finds at everywhere.
因为百花城到处都是她的广告,各种摩天大楼外墙体上的全画幅、投影到虚空的巨幅……随处可见。Flying Immortal Starinformationalreadyextremelydeveloped, the time of a while, on the innumerablebig or smallmediahad presentedQin Ranranto the picture that pictureis in a daze.飞仙星的信息早就极度发达,一会儿的功夫,无数大小媒体上已经出现了秦冉冉对着那副画发呆的照片。„BigstarQin Ranranappears the Hundred Flowerssquare, was shockedbyStreet Artistultragodpainting skill!”
“大明星秦冉冉惊现百花广场,被街头画家超神画技惊呆!”„Bigstarappearsin the street, to the young people who shedrawsiswho?”
“大明星出现在街头,给她画画的年轻人是谁?”„Qin Ranranaskshimto paint a portrait, hisportraitreaches as high as81,000! Actually is he who?”
“秦冉冉找他画像,他的画像高达八万一张!他究竟是什么人?”
The heat degreerises suddenlyinstantaneously!
热度瞬间暴涨!Inthatpicture, Qin Ranranisreallybeautiful!
那照片中,秦冉冉是真美!Howeverthatpictureis more beautiful!
但是那副画更美!Therefore, howlast nightalsoworriedto hand over the house rentBrother Baito be all of a sudden extravagant.
于是,昨晚还愁怎么交房租的白哥一下子就阔了。
A afternoontime, is countedQin Ranran that altogetherdrew12pictures.
一下午的功夫,算上秦冉冉那一幅,一共画了十二幅画。
It is not cannot the picturebe more, on the one handis the time of shouting out the priceis very long, peopleare without making any mutual concessions, on the other hand, Bai Muyefeltpicturethesealsoalreadyenough!
不是不能画更多,一方面是叫价的时间很长,人们互不相让,另一方面,白牧野觉得画这些也已经够了!At leasta halfyear of no worries!
至少半年无忧!InQinbig the starto the situation of money, altogetherhad not gained430,000!
在秦大明星没给钱的情况下,一共赚了四十三万!
A month 50,000house rent?
一个月五万的房租?drizzle!毛毛雨啦!
The entire lifecomes outto sell for the first time...... earns living, makesBai Muyerealizethisexplodingpleasant sensation.
生平第一次出来卖……卖艺,就让白牧野体会到这种暴发的快感。Suchrich, having no waylow key!
这么有钱,没法低调啊!Lies downBai Muye that invice-harnessescannot bearlegcontrolson the stage, snort/humran the song that adjusts.
躺在副驾的白牧野忍不住把腿架在中控台上,哼起了跑调的歌。Inflatesvery much.
很是膨胀。
