253 Coming and going
The young man was a few steps away from him, slender and handsome, his cheeks were white and red, and his lips were full of spring breeze, as if he was born with a little shyness.
Two years earlier, he might have been a little difficult to distinguish between male and female, but now that he has grown up, he naturally brings some of the upright and handsome of the teenagers, and it is indeed the appearance of the girl in the boudoir who will be pregnant with spring.
Governor Zhang's gaze lingered on him slightly, with a little appreciation, and then paced forward.
Governor Deng followed behind him, silently, as if this person had nothing to do with him.
Governor Zhang stood still not far from Cen Xiaoyi, Cen Xiaoyi's eyes did not squint, his head was not raised, and his hand movements did not have the slightest hesitation or confusion, as if he didn't know that someone was coming next to him.
The appreciation in Governor Zhang's eyes was thickened, but he didn't say anything, he stood still not far away, watching Cen Xiaoyi do things.
He didn't know carpenter, but he stood here and watched for a long time, and after a long while, he slowly looked away and continued to pace forward.
"How?" Governor Deng quickly followed and asked in a low voice.
Governor Zhang is his boss, and his question is a little presumptuous, but Governor Zhang is not angry, and nods with a smile: "Yes, there are rules." ”
Governor Deng was stunned for a moment, glanced back at Cen Xiaoyi, and gradually understood what he meant.
They don't know whether Cen Xiaoyi's work is good or not, but they can see that the biggest feature of his work is that he "has rules".
Things are neatly arranged, the movements are very standardized, and the most rare thing is that after each step, the nearby desktop floor will be cleaned up, so the area around him has been kept clean and tidy, in stark contrast to the mess that many other people have.
This feature doesn't seem to have much to do with the level of craftsmanship, but Governor Deng knows very well that there are rules, which means that this person has a clear understanding of himself and knows what he is doing and wanting.
"Hehe, there are no rules. Governor Deng smiled with satisfaction and followed.
It's also interesting to say.
The gauge is a compass, a tool for drawing circles. A moment is a ruler, a tool for drawing right angles or squares.
From the beginning, the word rule was reserved for craftsmen, but it gradually evolved to mean standard law.
From this point of view, it is natural that the craftsman should be the one who knows the rules best.
The two continued to pace forward, and not long after, Governor Zhang saw another person and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Governor Deng had been paying attention to his facial expressions, and immediately looked over and made the same expression.
The man's eyes were swollen high as if he had been beaten, and one eye was especially severe, affecting the other side, and the eyelid was so swollen that only a slit remained in the eye.
In this case, Governor Zhang didn't know how he saw what was in front of him.
Not only his eyes, but also other places on his face and body were injured, and the joints of his hands were full of tears, although there was no blood, but it was still a little embarrassing to look at.
Governor Zhang was a little dizzy, subconsciously took a step back, and asked, "What's the matter with this young man?"
"This young man didn't return all night last night, and Master Sun led the team out to find someone who spent the night. I heard that I met a bandit when I went to Jinglin Temple to ask for a talisman and was kidnapped. Governor Deng explained in a low voice.
When Sun Boran mobilized the officials to arrest him last night, he informed Governor Zhang, and of course he had heard about it. When Governor Deng said this, he remembered it.
"Asking for a charm?" Governor Zhang frowned when he heard these two words, and his face was uncertain, "The eldest husband does not rely on heaven or earth, but relies on his own ability!
"A country boy is not in the world, and it is normal. Governor Deng said.
"Where are you from, what's your name?" Governor Zhang's expression was still not too good-looking.
"Tong and Yu Shuiren, Xu asked. The corners of Governor Deng's mouth curled, and he forcibly pressed it down again, and introduced.
“...... Oh?" Governor Zhang was about to walk away, but when he heard the name, he suddenly stopped.
Governor Deng was about to follow along, but was stunned by his movements, and he didn't know why.
"Tong and Yu Shui, Xu asked?" Governor Zhang repeated.
"Right...... Is it an old acquaintance of an adult?" Governor Deng nodded.
"Not really. Governor Zhang shook his head, turned around, and went to see Xu Wen's performance.
Governor Deng just breathed a sigh of relief, and was made to hang by his action again.
It's not old acquaintances, and I don't know what this young man looks like, but I know his name, where did I know it, what do I know?
He was full of suspicion in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak, so he only dared to stand aside and carefully look at Governor Zhang's expression.
Governor Zhang's face had no expression at first, as deep as ever, and he did not distinguish between joy and anger. But gradually, his eyebrows were raised, and he gathered in the middle, gathering closer and closer. Finally, he frowned tightly, visibly extremely dissatisfied.
"Why are you displeased?" Governor Deng carefully restrained his joy and asked softly.
"It's too rough. Governor Zhang stared at Xu Wen's hand for another while, and threw down four words with an expressionless face.
Governor Deng was stunned for a moment, and after carefully observing Xu Wen for a while, he gradually understood the meaning of these four words.
First of all, Xu Wen's work is far less "regular" than Cen Xiaoyi's, the things around him are a little messy, the sawdust shavings on the table on the ground have not been cleaned up, and the surrounding environment is the first "rough".
The second roughness is the way he does things.
He is now doing wood carving at the same pace as Cen Xiaoyi.
Cen Xiaoyi is engrossed in all his attention, meticulously crafted, and pays attention to every inch of it.
Xu Wen is focused enough, but he does a lot of work, and the wood carving is carved like a clay sculpture, thick and repainted, as if only the surface is heavy, and the details are not paid attention to.
Governor Deng looked at it, and couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the model that was still on the wooden platform in the distance.
He had also seen that prototype, and the sculpture on it was very beautiful and detailed.
Just looking at the part that Cen Xiaoyi has carved now, he can probably come up with the final result, as long as it can be completed smoothly, it should be similar to the prototype of the carving.
But Xu asked this...... That's a little too far, isn't it?
But after a while, he raised his eyebrows and smiled.
What does this have to do with him?
On the contrary, it was exactly what he wanted to see!
The people around him came and went, came and went, and several eyes fell on him before and after, and Xu Wen was unaware.
At this moment, his vision was like a thick dark cloud pressed down, compressing his world into an extremely narrow range, as if only the model in front of him was left.
The drawings he had drawn early in the morning had been thrown aside, crushed by a lot of wood shavings, and he hadn't taken them out for a long time.
But it still exists, in Xu Wen's mind, clearly recognizable, every detail is complete—only a few changes from what it originally were.
Since he entered the Lian Tianqing Sect to learn carpentry, he has never felt like this.
The wood in his hand seems to be one with him, and the wood carving in his mind seems to be one with the world.
He knows very well what he is going to do and what he is going to do.
