The examiner prepared a board for the candidates, which was used as a workbench during the day, and at night they cleaned up and turned over to make a bed, on which they could sleep.

The board is hard and I have a lot of trouble sleeping, but what apprentice hasn't had such an experience?

Xu Wen was now lying on the board, facing up on his back, and slowly opened his eyes.

The surrounding candidates were getting up and did not speak, only occasionally chatting a little when the official patrolled, lowered their voices, and spoke softly.

The examinees were dressing up - last night, everyone had taken off their clothes and covered their bodies, and at most they were more well-prepared, with a thin blanket.

They couldn't leave this square inch of land for three days, so they washed with a little water, and Xu Wen slept in the old woodyard, and they were used to hearing such sounds, and they could tell what the people next to them were doing just by the sound of the basin.

It was still dark, and most of the places he could see seemed to be covered in a heavy shadow, with only a small area in the middle being bright.

It's not just because his eyes are swollen, but there must have been something else going on in his body, or in his head, that affected his vision.

What happens if I die here, or become disabled?

It occurred to him that question.

He doesn't seem to be shuttling around with his body, older on one side and younger on this side.

But he could clearly feel that the skills he had learned and the muscle reactions he had practiced here had been carried over there.

What about the wounds, or even deaths, that are here?

The voices around are getting louder and louder, and the candidates are basically already up.

Xu Wen also got up slowly, helped him with his hand when he got out of the "bed", and then touched the back of his head.

You don't have to think about it yet, it's useless to think about it.

The top priority is the exam in front of us.

Xu Wen groped up and down, and carefully experienced his situation for a while.

The medicine is very good, the wounds on both hands have a clear tendency to improve, the small cracks in the skin have basically healed, and the larger surface has produced a protective film, which is still a little smooth to the touch.

That's the good news. Not to mention the pain, for carpenters, touch is a very important feeling, which directly affects the feel.

The constant fine pain somewhat affects the sense of touch, and now it's much better.

The more troublesome thing is the eyes. The field of view is narrow and focused, with occasional blurring. It is certainly not only the eye that is injured, but also the congestion in a certain area of the brain, which compresses the nerves.

Luckily, these bruises will be resisted by the body, and they will naturally dissolve and disappear, allowing him to regain normal vision.

Bad luck and blindness are not out of the question.

Now that the general scheme of the model he wants to replicate has been completed and the prototype of the parts has been completed, the next thing that needs to be shaped, carved, sanded, assembled, and finally retouched.

Most of these tasks rely on eyesight, just how much and how hard they are.

Xu Wen picked up the stack of paper he wrote yesterday, flipped to the part of the plan, and added some content to the back.

It didn't take long for him to finish washing, have breakfast, flip over the table, and get back to work.

Parts shaping does not require much eyesight, his eyes are half-open and half-closed, mainly resting and recuperating, mainly relying on hand to work.

The planning he made in advance was indeed very in place, the materials were complete, the quantity was specific, and the parts were taken from his left hand side, and after completion, they were placed on the right hand side, which was smooth and orderly.

For the first time, he weakened his vision like this, relying more on his touch, and felt completely different than before.

The skin of the fingers has become extremely sensitive, and the touch has been greatly exerted, and the fingerprints and wood grains are closely contended, and the texture and texture have become exceptionally clear.

Sawdust fell in his hands, and more delicate and harmonious lines were retouched.

At this moment, he suddenly had a deeper understanding of the material he was most familiar with, holding it, as if holding a new life in his hand and a world in his hand.

It was a wonderful feeling, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in it. His eyes went from half-open and half-closed to completely closed, and eventually, he began to rely entirely on "feel" to complete this part of the work.

He kept his head down, and no one noticed it.

Not far away, Cen Xiaoyi glanced in his direction as if nothing happened, and his gaze stayed on his eye sockets.

The bruises there were particularly obvious, and after a night of fermentation, they almost turned purple-black, and they were swollen to the point where they looked very obvious.

This condition affects the eyesight is inevitable. What else can a carpenter do without his eyes.

A smile appeared on the corner of Cen Xiaoyi's mouth, turned his head, and continued the work at hand.

His ability is still very strong, at this time his progress is faster than Xu Wen, all the parts have basically been made, only waiting for more detailed carving and polishing.

The actions of the others are completely irrelevant.

It was true that he had to get the head of this hospital exam because he wanted to suppress Cen Xiaoyi, but when he immersed himself in the work, he forgot why he came.

At this time, his heart only had the wood in his hand, and he was completely immersed in this new and joyful feeling.

Because this step saved his eyesight, and because the sky was getting brighter, Xu Wen's eyesight recovered a little when he made all the wooden components.

However, not only did he not become relaxed, but his expression became more cautious.

The next step is where you really need to use your eyes.

Objectively speaking, this model is not small, it is a big one there, and it is very conspicuous.

But it's nothing else, it's a house, and there is a courtyard decoration next to it, and the accumulation of quite a few elements, each of which is very small.

There are concise parts to these elements, but there are also quite complex parts.

This kind of complexity is also divided into two kinds, one is the bucket arch under the eaves, which is composed of many parts together, and belongs to the complex of the combined type; the other is similar to the finch in front of the bucket arch and the carving on the window, which are extremely fine carvings, and the subtleties are only between the millimeters, which is very exquisite.

Take the finch under the eaves as an example.

There are eight finches on this pavilion, four large and four small, the big one is located under the eaves, which is used as a support, and the small one is also called the flower tooth, which is located below the beam fang, and is mainly used for decoration.

The shape of the bird carving is the four holy beasts of the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanhu, the large and the small, each with its own different forms, contrasting with each other.

Although the model is small, it is carved in great detail, and Xu Wen took a closer look before, and all the bearded teeth and claws were clearly visible, and he worked very hard.

And there is no doubt that this kind of meticulous carving is quite eye-consuming......

Eight finches, eight windows carving, I don't know if the eyes can support it until it is completed.

Xu Wen picked up the engraving pieces prepared in advance, picked up the ink pen, and prepared to outline the line.

This is the preparation before the official engraving.

Before the pen fell, he suddenly remembered something and stopped.
