March 22, ten o'clock in the morning.

Li Dumao: Okay

Li Dumao: Come on in the afternoon

Li Dumao: You can just bring some milk or fruit on the first day, don't bring expensive things. Old man Ma is honest, carving and painting are just hobbies, and he will feel rusty and embarrassed if you give expensive gifts on the first day

Li Dumao: At your age, you should be stunned to be cute, just treat him as your elder

Zhou Li: Oh

He was still a little embarrassed, and hurriedly typed, wanting Brother Nan to join him at that time, but he hadn't finished typing yet-

Li Dumao: I'll be with you for the first two days

Zhou Li deleted all the words he typed again.

Zhou Li: Got it

Putting down the phone, he said to Huai Xu, who was lying on the balcony in a daze, "Brother Nan helped me find a carving master. ”

“？”

Huai Xu turned his head slowly: "What master?"

Zhou Li was silent.

I just took him to watch "Charlotte's Troubles" last night, and he looks very much like that uncle now.

"It's boring!"

Huai Xu shook his head, and then returned to normal: "Didn't you say that you didn't want to find Master? and said that you didn't need to find Master...... Are you sure this new master won't scold you for being stupid?"

"I'm very talented. ”

"Kukuku laughed at me......" Huaixu looked up and laughed, showing no mercy to him, "You can also call it talent?"

"I'm going out with Brother Nan to drink mutton soup tonight. ”

"Yes, you're talented!"

"...... Duck"

"What?"

"Nothing. ”

"I'm going to study with you. ”

"Brother Nan didn't sign you up. ”

"It's okay, I'll just go with you. I just have to look at it to learn. "The old monster is full of superiority.

"Don't go. ”

"Why?" Huai Xu looked at Zhou Li seriously, "You are jealous that I am more talented than you and have more artistic cells than you! I am jealous that I can carve better than you casually! You are afraid that after I learn, the gap between us will become bigger and bigger, and you will have no face!"

"Yes. ”

"You!" Huai Xu panicked, "People's hearts are not ancient!"

"Where are you going to play? Dango-sama is going to play too!" Dango suddenly jumped out of the closet, with a sock on his head.

“...... I said that Tuanzi should not drill around all day long!" Zhou Li had a headache, bent down to pick her up, and took off the socks and put them back in a shoebox specially used for socks, "I thought you were outside." ”

"Meow!!!, are you hiding it?"

"Well hidden, it's amazing. ”

"Meow!!"

While Danzi was happy, he still remembered what he overheard just now: "Dango-sama wants to go out with you too!"

Zhou Li thought for a while: "I'm not going out to play, I'm going out to work, it's very tiring work." The boss is a very fierce old man, and I heard that he eats cat meat hot pot every day at noon. ”

"Liars. ”

"Really. ”

"Dango-sama is so easy to deceive?"

"......" Zhou Li had a headache.

He found that the little thing's IQ was the same as that of her species, and it came at will.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

After eating the fish soup and making rice, the dumplings were satisfied, and she lay on the balcony basking in the sun, and fell asleep in a daze. Zhou Li quietly slipped out of the house at this time, he listened to Brother Nan, and only bought a box of Shuhua milk.

Brother Nan stood at the gate of the courtyard to pick him up.

After receiving him, he led him all the way to Old Man Ma's house, which can be said to be very careful and considerate.

As soon as he stepped into the door, even if Zhou Li hadn't heard Brother Nan say it before, he could immediately see that Old Man Ma was a carving enthusiast - his home was full of all kinds of sculptures, in addition to wood carvings, bamboo carvings, root carvings, both finished products, semi-finished products and raw materials.

Everything is on the edge of the wall.

The raw materials are easy to understand and should be easy to access at any time, but many finished products are also placed on the wall as if they are worthless.

"This is Grandpa Ma. Brother Nan said.

"Hello Grandpa Ma. Zhou Li shouted obediently.

"Oh yo! I'm coming, I'm coming, bring something!" Old Man Ma pretended to be serious, "Wait and get it back!"

"This is Zhou Li, you call him Xiao Zhou. After Brother Nan finished speaking, he whispered to Grandpa Ma, "This is my boyfriend, do you want to see if this young man wants it?"

"Really, huh?"

"Really!"

"Oops!"

Old Man Ma hurriedly approached and looked at Zhou Li carefully, and nodded again and again: "You have to get it! This young man is handsome! You have vision!"

"Hey, hey, take care of it!"

"What are you taking care of? Let's play together! It's rare to see young people like to do this, and now young people are engaged in high-tech, it's you who are here to pass the time with my old man!" Old Man Ma said with a smile, speaking an authentic dialect, and beckoned to Zhou Li, "Come, I'll show you what I carved!"

"Uh-huh, oh good!"

Zhou Li followed Old Man Ma inside.

He thought back to the old man's expression just now, and he felt like a child showing off his new toys with his friends.

So he was a lot more relaxed.

Old Man Ma opened a door, and it turned out that there was a special room for sculptures.

This room is not small or small, with shelves on both walls, and a coffee table in the middle, all of which are full of carvings. Zhou Li saw the statue of the woman in the middle of the shelf at a glance, she was too eye-catching.

In addition, there are some paintings hanging on the remaining two walls.

There is a painting that is also this woman, which is a little less real than the sculpture, but makes up for it with a unique temperament and charm.

Zhou Li couldn't help but glance at Old Man Ma, it was hard to imagine that this painting and this statue were made by this honest-looking old man. He felt that the person who made these works should be a genius who was in his youth, suave and cynical.

"How's it going?" the old man looked at him, "It's okay?"

"That's great!"

"Haha! I heard Li Nan say that you have just learned, haven't you?" Old Man Ma asked with concern, in fact, at his age, as long as he is accompanied, he will feel inexplicably happy no matter what he does.

"That's right. ”

"I'll teach you some simple ones later. Old Man Ma paused and asked, "Will you call your mobile phone?"

"What's the phone?"

"My phone has been silent when I answer the phone recently, I don't know why, you show me. Old Man Ma took out a very old old machine and handed it to Zhou Li, "I don't know if it's rotten." ”

"Good. ”

I didn't expect the first thing to do was to help this old man adjust his mobile phone.

After adjusting the mobile phone, the old man Ma thanked him, told them that the wood here could be used casually, and suggested that Zhou Li carve a lotus canopy first.

"Do you want me to draw the line for you?" he asked kindly.

"I'll do it myself. ”

"Yes, if you don't understand something, just ask!"

Then the old man put on reading glasses, picked up a piece of wood and played by himself, only sneaking a glance at the two from time to time. Occasionally, he also gave Zhou Li a little advice, either because of his years of experience, or because of some of his unique skills, which were very precious.

As for Brother Nan, he just didn't see it and let her toss around.

As the afternoon ticked by, the living room was filled with rustling sounds mixed with some talking.

Zhou Li learned that Old Man Ma has a son and two daughters, both of whom are in Jinguan, and they will only come back during the New Year's holidays.

And his wife is an idle person, keen to pick up cardboard and empty water bottles, and now she doesn't know where to run.

So he usually carved it alone at home, very boring, neither a speaker nor a compliment to him. I don't find much accomplishment when I carve a good work.

Now it's okay, there's a week.

......

The old man carved Manjushri Bodhisattva, and he made a mistake without paying attention, he sighed for a long time, making excuses that he was old.

Brother Nan carved a pistol, at the level of a primary school student, and he could barely tell from the outline that it was a pistol.

Well, it fits her character very well.

Zhou Li's lotus canopy is carved well.

The difficulty of carving a lotus pod is not higher than that of a leaf, and it can be carved out without any foundation, but the old man Ma told Zhou Li that it is not easy to carve a very simple thing vividly, and it requires a pair of eyes that are good at observation and good at thinking.

Like he said before, it's just playing together.

This afternoon was really like this, everyone played and communicated with each other, it was very relaxed, and even Brother Nan had a lot of fun.

It's just that Zhou Li has learned a lot.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Old Man Ma said to Zhou Li with certainty: "Xiao Zhou, you are talented, your hands are very stable, and you have that bit of spirituality. If I can persevere, I will definitely be higher than my level in the future. ”

Zhou Li responded modestly.

But he does have talent, he has a very good control of his body, which is quite important for carving. It is possible that every Celestial Master is relatively talented in this regard, just as the physical qualities of Celestial Masters are mostly different from ordinary people.

Of course, it can't be compared with a certain demon.
