House Where the Monsters Dwell Chapter 10

Lyle Gu had a dream.

In the dream, he was floating in the sky, and below was the Jiuzhou Shanhaiyuan, which was completely dark except for the street lights in the dead of night.

The surroundings are quiet. Occasionally, you can see vehicles passing by outside the community. The lights flash past and the sound cannot be transmitted into the community.

The night sky is clear. In the somewhat polluted city of S, you can actually see a bright star river crossing the night sky when you look up. The silver light of the moon gently envelopes the city at night. In the distance, you can see that the city that never sleeps is still as bright as the lights of the day even late at night.

This apartment complex is like the only silence in a raging fire. It looks particularly peaceful and peaceful under the moonlight.

Lyle Gu floated stupidly high, looking around, then lowered his head and looked at his bare feet.

He was still wearing Doraemon's short-sleeved pajamas.

He heard a clear dragon roar.

Lyle Gu followed the sound and saw that a ball of light that illuminated the dark night was hovering in the sky, as if patrolling the territory, walking around the huge city several times.

The light group was full of righteousness and chill, hanging in the sky, moving slowly and quickly, and finally ran towards Lyle Gu's direction at a rapid speed.

Lyle Gu gradually saw clearly what was wrapped in the light.

Its head and tail are like a dragon, its body is like a horse, its feet are like a leopard, its shape is like a tiger or a leopard, its scales are like gold or jade, it looks like it is carrying the power of an army when it walks, it is so powerful and frightening.

Lyle Gu watched it come from a high place, slowly fall, and seemed to turn its head to look at him. Then it stopped quietly on the roof of the unit where he lived, and raised his head and let out a clear and long dragon roar.

Lyle Gu woke up.

He turned off the alarm clock in a daze, yawned, turned over, and stared blankly out of the window for a long time.

It seemed that he dreamed of something last night, Lyle Gu recalled it while changing his clothes, but the dream seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and in the end, only the two dragon roars remained in his memory.

After washing up, he fried an egg and a few slices of bacon, took out a few slices of toast from the refrigerator, casually made two sandwiches and skipped breakfast, and then climbed up to the second floor.

The four design drawings were packed away, but they were placed on the second floor without being taken down because of Fletcher Si's sudden visit yesterday.

Lyle Gu is going to take them there today to ask the teachers and senior brothers for their opinions.

He picked up the four scrolls rolled into one and looked up to see the only scroll still hanging on the wire rope on the second floor.

In that ink painting with a strong use of form and meaning, the roaring dragon head is showing its power to the people outside the painting with its teeth and claws.

Lyle Gu tilted his head slightly, the dragon's roar in his dream still lingering in his ears.

He felt that the dream he couldn't remember clearly last night was probably influenced by this painting.

The spiritual sensitivity of literary and artistic practitioners is always much higher than that of practitioners in other fields.

They can always pick out some details that others cannot see from a small and ordinary thing, and extend and expand them. Finally, starting from this object, they complete a work to express their own thoughts and feelings. .

The so-called design and creation are also the embodiment of this kind of thinking.

It is very common for Lyle Gu to dream about the things in the painting because he sees an excellent painting.

Lyle Gu carefully picked up the rolled painting in his arms, took another look at the ink painting, took off his slippers and went downstairs, stuffed his newly bought laptop into his backpack, and went out.

When we go out, it is the peak time for everyone to go to work.

As soon as Lyle Gu closed the door, he turned around and saw Fletcher Si who was also going out.

Today there are no two people Emmett Zhai and Kiera Huang tossing around. Although the upstairs and downstairs are equally lively, they are also maintained within an appropriate range.

Lyle Gu was not averse to such lively excitement, and even felt very relaxed and happy.

The kindness he received from others these days made Lyle Gu, who had always been introverted and passive, feel joy and comfort from the bottom of his heart.

He couldn't help but show a bright smile to the big boss across the door, and took the initiative to say hello across the patio: "Good morning, Mr. Si!"

There was a strange pause on the floor.

But Fletcher Si seemed unaware.

He turned to look at Lyle Gu, feeling stung by Lyle Gu's bright smile like a little sun. After being slightly stunned, he nodded slightly to Lyle Gu who was standing opposite. He was about to leave, but stopped again and turned back. He said: "Morning."

Lyle Gu heard the sound of the residents of this building sucking in cold air.

He couldn't help but look up and down, and found that the unfamiliar faces were looking at him in disbelief and looking at the cherished creatures.

The smile on Lyle Gu's face disappeared little by little under such gaze. He leaned against the wall timidly, avoiding the eyes of people looking up and down the floor, and walked slowly towards the elevator.

He and Fletcher Si took the same elevator and went downstairs.

When Lyle Gu left the elevator, Fletcher Si suddenly said, "Sleep well at night and don't run around."

"Huh?" Lyle Gu looked confused.

But the elevator door has been closed, and we went down to the underground parking lot.

Lyle Gu was walking on the way to the Art Expo Center with his backpack on his back, still a little confused by Fletcher Si's words.

Fortunately, being unable to figure things out is not something that needs to be figured out. Lyle Gu never pays much attention to it.

Lyle Gu threw away his doubts and couldn't help but take a deep breath as he walked on the road.

I always feel that the air seems to be much fresher today, and even the grass and trees on the roadside exude a relaxing fragrance.

He took the pass and entered the park first.

The park specially set up a studio for them to design and store materials.

Lyle Gu came early today. When he entered the studio, he found that he was the first one today.

Their working hours are very standard from nine to five every day. It's only eight o'clock now. The group of senior brothers who have a free schedule are addicted to hitting the spot and will not be anxious until the last second.

Lyle Gu put his design drawings on the table, took out his newly purchased computer, and connected it to the park's wifi. He planned to fish first while waiting for others, and then check the ppt for the defense.

The defense is at the end of June and is due in a few days, so Lyle Gu has already prepared everything.

Professor Holden is one of the defense tutors. Now that Lyle Gu has a computer, he plans to take advantage of the professor's guidance. It is best to get an excellent rating or something. If his resume is good, the school will also give him some money as a bonus. .

No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat, especially after Fletcher Si nodded and agreed to introduce a stock to Lyle Gu, how much principal he has will mean how much profit he will make in the future!

That's the legend of picking up a steel gun and throwing it away to get one million back!

Lyle Gu felt that if he invested all the little money he could get in the past two months, maybe when he came out, he would have enough money to buy a toilet in the suburbs of S city.

Enough for a toilet!

Thinking about it, I’m actually a little excited!

Professor Holden is not young anymore. He has long passed the age of staying up late and indulgence, and has entered the retirement life of a veteran cadre in advance, so he is the second one to come to the studio.

When he arrived, Lyle Gu was sitting with his back to the door, opening the web page and searching for information.

Professor Holden knocked on the door to remind Lyle Gu that someone was coming.

Lyle Gu turned around and saw Professor Holden, and smiled: "Good morning, teacher!"

"Morning." Professor Holden nodded and sat next to Lyle Gu, "What are you checking?"

"Looking up the information about Long, my neighbor asked me to buy a painting." Lyle Gu explained, then clicked on the minimized ppt, and touched his nose a little embarrassed, "This is my defense information, teacher. Can you help me take a look?"

Professor Holden liked Lyle Gu very much and even brought him out to try to cooperate with his team. Naturally, he didn't mind helping such a small favor.

Lyle Gu revised and refined a lot of things under the professor's suggestion. Several senior brothers also came one after another. After asking Lyle Gu, he unfolded the four design drafts rolled up on the table and gathered people there to watch. .

Lyle Gu's conceptual understanding of the theme of inheritance is actually very young, but the good thing is that he is very courageous in painting.

Whatever he comprehends and thinks of, he draws.

Whoever he learned about the theme of inheritance is included in the painting.

His design ideas are straightforward and clear, and his straight kicks are scary to death, but they also make the group of grown men standing in the studio feel a little helpless and moved.

The junior brother noticed their help and reflected it on the painting. It felt good to be clearly remembered after helping others.

But in the end, the senior brothers thought about it over and over again and chose the picture with Professor Holden on it.

You can also see some tricks in the design draft.

For example, in the one with Professor Holden, the composition and general color scheme are much clearer than the other three. It is obvious that Lyle Gu already has a complete painting in his mind.

A military strategist has a good saying, never fight an unprepared battle, and the same is true for painting. If you don’t have a picture in mind, there will always be flaws in the painting.

The first major exhibition that Lyle Gu participated in as a fresh graduate was very important to him, and it would be best if it was a great success.

This was quite helpful in building up his confidence and getting rid of his fear of work.

Everyone has been there and knows the influence of mentality on a literary and artistic worker.

No one wants to think that the little junior brother who is full of aura in drawing, cute and cute, and makes delicious snacks will fall into a big mess just after graduation and entering the society.

I heard from the teacher that Lyle Gu had neither a mother nor a father to support him. It was completely different from the situation like theirs, where they had to rely on the support of their parents to get over. What if someone fell down and fell to the ground?

Especially when my junior brother was still very poor.

So after work ended in the afternoon, the teachers all patted their B*tts and left. Lyle Gu was surrounded by the loving eyes of seven senior brothers, who gave him a small class in a leisurely manner and taught him how to modify the small details of the design.

A group of people stayed in the park until the sun went down, and then swarmed to a small restaurant for a meal.

Lyle Gu had never thought that group activities were such a joyful thing. When he was a child, his father would never come to hold parent-teacher meetings for him, and other children would not want to play with him. Every time he had group activities, he would be alone. Over time, Lyle Gu was no longer looking forward to this kind of activity.

But the current interaction gave Lyle Gu a completely unmoving feeling.

Lyle Gu was holding a bottle of Fanta, holding a straw in his mouth and smiling as he watched the senior brothers' commotion. He felt that even his heartbeat became more active and vigorous, and there was a sore and satisfying taste in his chest. Something seemed to be overflowing. And out, it seems to have affected his vision.

Lyle Gu now looked at his senior brothers who all had three-meter-thick soft light filters, as if they were the best and most handsome people in the world.

When they were about to go back to their respective homes, the oldest senior brother suddenly stopped and suggested: "How about we let Xiaobai try to build the two broken walls alone?"
