Left thumb?

Hearing Lu Cheng's words, Xu Wen subconsciously glanced down at his fingers, and at the same time recalled the image of Senior Brother Zhou in his mind.

Most people don't deliberately look at other people's fingers, and Senior Brother Zhou's left hand has been covered by a sleeve, so it's hard for people to notice if a finger is really missing.

Senior Brother Zhou is right-handed, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to lose his thumb with his hands, but Xu Wen knows that this is definitely not the case.

If a finger is missing from one hand, it is the one that is not commonly used, and it will also affect the more delicate work. Not to mention the thumb affects the grip, without it, a lot of work can't be done.

Senior Brother Zhou's injury directly caused him to be physically disabled, and he could no longer become a carpenter.

Someone cut it off...... Does this mean that the other party is intentional?

"Who cut it?"

"It's Qi Kun!"

Lu Cheng's voice was lowered, almost whispering, but the name Qi Kun was said very clearly.

"Qi Kun, who is this?"

"You don't even know Qi Kun?"

Lu Cheng's eyes widened, he was really surprised.

Xu Wen shook his head, making sure he had never heard the name.

"It's strange that you can read and write, but you don't know Qi Kun. Lu Cheng muttered and said, "Qi Kun is Qi Zhengze's son!"

"Who is Qi Zhengze?"

Xu Wen's words choked Lu Cheng, he didn't seem to expect him to be so lonely, and stared at Xu Wen for a long time before explaining.

"Qi Zheng is the owner of Yue Mu Xuan, you don't even know where Yue Mu Xuan is, right?"

Xu Wen's original body vaguely had the name of Yue Muxuan in his memory, but where it was, Xu Wen really didn't know.

Lu Cheng was helpless, and explained in detail in a tone of "why did I come to talk to you".

Yuemuxuan is the largest wooden mill in this area, and the scale is still above Yao's wooden mill. Unlike Yao's Wood Mill, they also do a timber business, from the capital to Lingnan, and you can see the signboard of Yue Mu Xuan everywhere.

As the owner of Yue Mu Xuan, Qi Zhengze's craftsmanship is not mentioned, his connections and energy must be far superior to Yao Pingyuan's.

Qi Kun is Qi Zhengze's old man, fifteen years old this year, slightly older than Xu Wen and Lu Cheng, and one year younger than Zhou Zhicheng, senior brother of Zhou.

Last time, Master Yao took Senior Brother Zhou into the city and ran into Qi Kun, I don't know why there was a conflict, Senior Brother Zhou's finger was cut off by Qi Kun, and the whole person was abolished because of this, and he could no longer be a carpenter.

Senior Brother Zhou originally planned to take next year's apprenticeship exam, and he was very sure that he would be able to pass the exam.

As a result, Senior Brother Zhou could no longer take the exam, and Master Yao had to find another apprentice and pass the apprenticeship exam as soon as possible in order to retain Yao's qualification in the wooden workshop.

Lu Cheng's mouth is very neat, and he can explain this matter clearly in a few words.

In the end, he said angrily: "I hate people like Qi Kun the most, it's too much to cut off people's fingers and ruin people's lives if they don't agree with each other!"

When Xu Wen and Senior Brother Zhou met for the first time, they were given a dismissal by the other party and arranged the heaviest work.

Later, after dealing with him more, Xu Wen knew that Zhou Zhicheng was actually just like his name, a very gentle and sincere person. Senior Brother Zhou arranged heavy work for him, in fact, because Master Yao had some prejudices against him at the beginning, and specially gave him a chance to eliminate these prejudices.

He has nothing to do with Xu Wen, he does it purely because he is a good man.

Such a person would never have a casual conflict with someone, especially a big conflict that was so intense that someone would cut off his fingers.

If this incident is true, Qi Kun is indeed a real villain.

But now Xu Wen noticed another thing-

"How do you know?"

"Huh?"

"There is no news about Senior Brother Zhou's broken finger in the workshop, which shows that Master Yao doesn't want to publicize it. How do you know that? And how do you know it in such detail?"

As soon as Xu Wen finished asking, he knew that he had asked the point.

Lu Cheng grinned, his face was beautiful, and he laughed a few times.

"I heard about this in Tianzifang. ”

"You went to Tianzifang?"

"Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Four-character Workshop, I have traveled all over it. Master Yao personally took me there, hehehe!"

Lu Chengmei lasted for a long time, and finally told Xu Wen that during this time, he had been following what Xu Wen said, not making superfluous small movements, and just doing his own thing in a down-to-earth manner. Half a month later, he found out that Master Yao had actually been paying close attention to them. He became more and more cautious, behaved very diligently and asked more questions, and finally caught Master Yao's attention.

In the past few days, Master Yao took him to the character workshop to read it, and came back to ask him what he thought.

Lu Cheng originally opened his mouth to speak, but before he spoke, he first remembered Xu Wen.

So he first sorted out what he wanted to say in his mind, and then said it in an orderly manner according to Xu Wen's appearance.

Sure enough, Master Yao was very satisfied with what he heard, and he was very familiar with him, and he might have to take him as an apprentice in two days.

Hearing this, Lu Cheng didn't even know what to do with his hands and feet, and his first thought was to come over and tell Xu Wen.

"Master said, let me study hard, and in a year I will take the apprenticeship test! If I can pass the test, I will take the government examination in another year, and the college examination in another year, maybe I will be able to enter the hundred trade unions!"

Lu Cheng's eyes lit up, and he directly thought that three years later, he had already changed his mind about Master Yao.

"It's a pity, if you hadn't rejected Master, the recommended quota for the apprenticeship test might have been yours. ”

Lu Cheng said this sentence sincerely, and he didn't show off, Xu Wen could see it.

"Maybe I'll be able to go with you in a year?" Xu Wen said with a smile.

"It's impossible, the apprenticeship test must be recommended by the workshop, and only my master is qualified in the entire Yao's Wood Workshop. Lu Cheng shook his head.

He sighed a few times with joy and regret, and finally walked away.

For him, being recommended for the apprenticeship test is an opportunity to change his life's destiny.

Xu Wen watched him leave, turned around and went back to the old wood yard.

Only Master Yao is qualified in the entire Yao Wood Workshop?

No way.

Even a person like Tianqing would never lie about this kind of thing.

Time continues to pass, and everyone in the old woodyard is changing unconsciously.

Xu Wen studied with Lian Tianqing, eagerly absorbing everything he taught.

It stands to reason that he is an adult in his bones, and he has long passed the peak of concentrating on learning. But now, like a real thirteen-year-old boy, he has no distractions and learns faster than Lian Tianqing.

Xu Wen learned so fast that even Tianqing felt a little pressure from time to time. In particular, some of the ideas he revealed in the process of learning often made Lian Tianqing fall into deep thought.

He has been stuck in a bottleneck for many years, and now he has found some clues of breakthrough from this young man......

Even more intense were the apprentices in Lian Lin Lin and the old wood yard.

Originally, because Lian Tianqing's level was too high and too profound, they could only barely learn a few things from the middle.

Now that Xu Wen has added what he has learned to his own understanding and told them about it, everyone suddenly has a feeling of enlightenment.

And they have been in the old wood yard for more than a year, and their practical experience is far more abundant than Xu Wen. In this kind of rumination, Xu Wen constantly consolidates and deepens his understanding.

Teaching and learning from each other, Lian Tianqing and Xu Wen, Xu Wen and Lian Linlin, they formed two sets of perfect cycles, and the entire old wood yard was moving forward in silence.

It stands to reason that there is a monthly assessment of each plant, and a comprehensive evaluation of everyone in each wood farm should be easy to detect.

But since September's monthly review, the performance of the old wood yard in the third round and the way Xu Wen manages the warehouse has made Master Yao realize what is going on and start making some changes.

Xu Wen only spent two days at that time, and only made a brief summary of the three warehouses in the old wood yard. To really perfect it and apply it, the amount of engineering is not small.

Of course, Master Yao would not put such a heavy responsibility on a thirteen-year-old rural boy, and it is said that he specially invited a master of money and grain to reorganize and manage Yao's wooden mill.

For this reason, the monthly assessment was temporarily suspended, and not many people noticed the old wood yard.

The busy time passed quickly, as if it was just a blink of an eye, and Xu Wen had been in this world for nearly a year.

It was the height of summer in August, and in five days, it would be the first day of this year's apprenticeship exam.
