Xiaoman morning. Wei Mingyuan squatted in the middle of the living room in Building 601, Building 6, Teachers' Family Building.The kneecaps made a dry scraping sound, the wood crackled.There was a crack on the side of the index finger of his right hand, oozing with yellow water. It was caused when he was planing the wooden frame the day before yesterday.The liquid stained the pine frame, mixed with the paint, and formed a transparent scab. The last canvas of "Skylight" is spread out in front of…-

Qingming The water level that rattled the skylights rose. Huang Jinye squatted on the fourth raised limestone.When the right knee is bent, there is no customary gurgling sound in the joint cavity.The water is stagnant, as if frozen by low temperatures.He paused and adjusted his center of gravity, placing the weight on his left leg and his right knee hanging in the air.There were cries from above the river bank. Feminine, repressed, torn apart by the mountain wind.Huang Jinye's fingers stopped in…

equinox Huang Jinye got up from the camp bed.The canvas rebounded after the weight was removed, and the spring let out a dull groan that lasted for three seconds before going still.He didn't look at Wei Zhiheng on the bed. Instead, he bent down and pulled out the bamboo mat from under the bed. Straw woven, hard, dark brown strips, broken in three places on the edges, tied with red rope.There is a human-shaped depression on the mat surface, and the shoulder blades and pelvis form a smooth, deep pit with…

Waking of Insects 6:00.The thermometer shows -2℃. The inside of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the studio on the third floor of the Huang family villa is covered with ice flowers.The ice grows upward from the lower corner of the window pane, bifurcating in a hexagonal shape, with intertwined branches, cutting the Green Cen Mountain outside the window into pieces.The sun penetrates the ice and casts a pale grid on the ground, without any temperature. There's ice on the palette. The remaining pigments…

After the rain 2 The corridor on the third floor of Miluo Building is paved with terrazzo floor tiles, with black glass strips embedded at the joints, which have been polished into translucent circles by countless shoe soles.Huang Jinye stood at the entrance of the stairs on the west side, holding the iron pipe handrail with his right hand. The silvery metal was exposed where the green paint peeled off, and the coolness spread through the palm of his hand into his radius bone. He raised his foot, and…

After the rain 1 Huang Jinye dragged out the cardboard box from under the bed. The cardboard was saturated with moisture, delaminated at the edges, and peeled into pulp.He opened the lid of the box and took out a stack of yellow paper.The paper is rough, and straw fragments are embedded in the fibers, cutting the fingertips.Twelve gold ingots were pressed underneath and folded into tin foil. The surface was oxidized and turned black, making a clicking sound when held in the hand. Wei Zhiheng was lying…

After the Beginning of Spring 2 The canvas of the cot collapsed under the weight, forming a human-shaped indentation.Wei Zhiheng was lying on his side, his left hip pressed against the edge of the bed, and his ilium pressed against the iron pipe frame.There is a dull pain in the bone marrow cavity, deep inside, rising and twitching with the heartbeat.The morphine patch took effect on the lower back, and the coolness penetrated the skin, unable to suppress the pain in the bone seams.When he opened his…

After the Big Cold 2 The view begins to collapse from the edge.Wei Zhiheng stared at the crack on the north wall of the art classroom in Changgu Tower. The crack extended from the window corner to the ceiling, a dislocation of the limestone wall.The fixed black shadow on the upper left suddenly squirmed downwards, not spreading, but peeling off in one piece, like a wall peeling off after getting wet.The black swallowed up the three iron blades of the ceiling fan, swallowed up the trembling halo of the…
