Li Mo opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed. It was bright outside and the sun was shining in through the window.

The feeling of weakness from yesterday has disappeared, and my eyes no longer hurt, but my stomach is growling and my hunger is particularly strong.

There was a head lying beside the bed, that of Chen Xiaoyan.

I don't know who took off the coat on her body, and the broken painting was placed next to the pillow. Li Mo sat up slowly, not wanting to wake her up.

But when he moved, Yan Zi rubbed her eyes in confusion and raised her head. She looked at Li Mo who was sitting up, breathed out, reached out and touched his forehead and said: "Little Master, don't you feel uncomfortable somewhere?

?”

"I'm fine, Yanzi, why don't you sleep in your own bed?"

"He said it was okay. Yesterday you had a high fever, which reached over thirty-nine degrees. You were lying unconscious on the bed, which scared everyone. How could a person suddenly have a high fever? Fortunately, the village doctor gave you a swab.

I drank two bottles of water and my body temperature returned to normal in the middle of the night.”

"I didn't come over until after five o'clock in the morning to take care of you."

Chen Xiaoyan stretched and breathed again.

"Yanzi, you go back to sleep for a while, and I'll get up and have something to eat."

"I'm not going to sleep anymore." Chen Xiaoyan shook her head, "Uncle, please freshen up first. There are cooked rice porridge, eggs, and two delicious side dishes prepared by my aunt."

"We will eat together later."

"Then I'll go to the old house and bring you another braised fish. I like fish."

After Chen Xiaoyan left, Li Mo put the broken painting on the bedside into his suitcase. He would check the relevant information online later, and he might be able to find information about the imperial painting.

After eating three bowls of white rice porridge, the hunger pangs subsided. Chen Xiaoyan peeled two hard-boiled eggs for him, and then ate braised crucian carp for herself.

"Uncle Junior, after we finish eating, we will go over to pay our respects to my great-grandfather on his birthday. Everyone has a red envelope, and I have a little more pocket money."

"Yanzi, please lock the door when you leave later. There are some expensive things in my suitcase."

"Yeah."

With a full stomach, Li Mo felt refreshed. Thinking back, his exhaustion yesterday was probably related to the abnormal pupils. It seems that the use of the abnormal pupils is not unlimited. He should be extremely cautious about this in the future.

Li Zhongsheng and others gathered in the Chen family's old house, chatting and laughing inside. Outside, a group of juniors were also chatting and bragging in twos and threes, and some of them were even arguing with each other with red faces.

As soon as Li Mo appeared, those people gathered around him and came to pay their respects.

"Little uncle."

"Little uncle."

Li Mo didn't recognize anyone, so he could only smile and wave hello.

The two of them walked into the house. Shiyi stood up and said, "Xiao Mo, sit here."

"Mom, sit down."

"Xiao Mo, how do you feel physically? Are you still feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"I'm fine now. I guess I accidentally got a bit cold the night before yesterday, so I suddenly had a high fever yesterday afternoon."

"Be careful when you sleep tonight. This place is located near a mountain, and the mountain breeze is still cool at night." Chen Gaofeng reminded him, then poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Mo, "We have all paid our respects to our ancestors, so it's just you.

and swallows.”

Li Mo held the tea, knelt respectfully in front of the centenarian, and said loudly: "I wish Master a long life as long as Nanshan, and may you have continuous good luck. You will have this day every year, and you will have this day every year."

"Zhongbazi, your boy has trained me well. My child, get up quickly and tell you what I just said. I want to live two or three more years no matter what."

"Great grandpa, here is me. I wish great grandpa... I wish great grandpa a happy birthday every year, and give me red envelopes every time."

"Hahaha, grandpa will give you red envelopes, one for each of you."

"Thank you, Master." Li Mo took the red envelope. It didn't have much money, but it represented Master's heartfelt wishes.

"Dad, did everything get settled yesterday?"

Li Zhongsheng sighed and said: "If they find excuses to cause trouble again in the future, I will not be soft-hearted. Xiao Mo, I told your senior brother that I will leave a sum of money for him. If your aunt has anything,

If something needs to be taken care of, ask Senior Brother Gao Feng to come forward and help."

"Dad, you are right. If the Lang family and his son knew that my aunt was rich, they might do something outrageous." There was nothing going on here. Li Mo went outside to bask in the sun when no one was around.

I took out my cell phone and searched the Internet for information about emperor pictures.

The more I looked at it, the more shocked I became.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Mo called Professor Zhu Changping. The university is on holiday now, so he should be free at this time.

"Hey, Xiao Mo."

"Professor Zhu, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

"Not only did it not disturb me, but the call came very timely." Professor Zhu said with a smile, "The granddaughter at home is busy at home during the summer vacation and is annoying me every day. Ignore her. She is still angry. Just talk to her.

I can pester you for a long time."

"Who makes her your granddaughter? She can't be beaten or scolded. If she were a grandson, I guess you would just slap her and show her some humiliation."

"Hahaha, I really think so. By the way, are you looking for me for something?"

"I just want to get to know someone with you. There was a painter from the Tang Dynasty named Lang Yuling. Are you familiar with him?"

"Lang Yuling? Let me think about it, well, there was such a person in the Tang Dynasty. This person was quite talented and famous. He was an expert in landscape painting, good at painting ancient sages, and he was said to be exquisite in imagining the style. But what really made this person famous in history is

Because of a painting, this painting is called "Pictures of Emperors of the Past Dynasties"."

""Pictures of Emperors of the Past" is a painting by Yan Liben in the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, this painting was lost overseas due to the war and is now collected by a museum in the United States. Later, after research, many people found that the painting was regarded as a museum piece by the United States.

There are many doubts about Bao's "Pictures of Emperors of the Past Dynasties", and we speculate that it is a copy, probably made by Lang Yuling."

What Professor Zhu Changping said was more detailed than the information he could search on the Internet, and provided him with many valuable clues, which he needed to figure out.

"Li Mo, why did you suddenly ask about this person?"

"Professor Zhu, that's what happened. I got a badly damaged ancient painting here in Huizhou. The inscription and seal are the three characters Lang Yuling."

"How serious is it?"

"Almost of no appreciation value."

"Oh, that's such a pity. If the damage is not serious, we can find a way to repair it. Lang Yuling's original work is also very popular in the market."

"Professor Zhu, this ancient painting is basically useless, but I found another work by Lang Yuling in the scroll. It is made of small-leaf red sandalwood. The red sandalwood depicts the landscape with gold. It is perfectly preserved and the gold is dazzling."

"What, there are such treasures!"

Zhu Changping on the other end of the phone was no longer calm. He continued: "Li Mo, this kind of treasure can be well collected. There is a similar one in the Kyoto Museum, but it is not made of small-leaf red sandalwood. If you conclude that it belongs to him,

That’s even better than the museum’s collection.”

"Professor Zhu, let me tell you something again. Don't get excited after hearing this, but stay calm."

"Why is it so serious? Tell me."

Li Mo pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "I also found ten characters in block letters on the red sandalwood landscape painting painted with gold, which said, 'The emperor's picture is hidden inside, Lang Yuling's night brushwork'."
