630 miles to travel

At night, lanterns are hung under the eaves and glow faintly.

There were still seven lanterns, exactly the same number as that night.

Although Wu Keming and Lian Tianqing said that it was impossible to reproduce the situation, Xu San and the others still found the lanterns at that time and hung them up.

Wu Keming smiled and personally cooked a few side dishes for them to thank him, but he went to sleep at night, and he really put this matter down completely.

At this time, the rain had stopped, and the air was filled with a richer fragrance of bamboo and earth, Xu Wen stood in front of the wall, as if he was looking at the bamboo shadow under the lamp, and as if he didn't see anything, just immersed in his own thoughts.

After a while, Lian Linlin quietly walked out and stood behind him, but he didn't make a sound, just looked at his back.

Xu Wen didn't notice anything, still thinking about today's daytime.

In recent times, he has actually been struggling.

The promotion of industrial production to society, as well as the fine products created by handicraft production, are both very important, and he is also reluctant to throw them away.

But the development of the former is almost destined for the latter to drift away.

In his own world, this has happened before, and the result is that now the Wenchuan Society is desperately trying to keep some of the old things and pass them on, but the effect has been limited.

Of course, Xu Wen can help as much as he can, and there are many people who are doing it, but before that, there are still many things that have disappeared and can never be recovered.

This is the reality of another world, something that has already happened.

In this world, everything is still in its infancy, but it has also begun to appear.

He didn't want this world to follow the old path of that world, not to mention that it also involved the entire Xu Mansion and Jing Cheng.

He even had a faint feeling that the so-called "repair" of Xu's house was also closely related to the future development of this world!

So, what exactly is he going to do?

During this time, he had always felt that he was standing on a fork in the road, one clearly visible and familiar, and the other, shrouded in layers of fog, with no future in sight......

And today's incident touched him again.

Wu Keming uses the moon shadow, bamboo shadow, and lamp shadow as the main body, and uses ink as the filling, creating a masterpiece that he will never forget even if he is drunk.

But the work exists only for one night, or even less, for a moment.

Xu Wen later went to ask Xu San and a few others, they were awake at the time, but they didn't pay attention to Wu Keming's actions - even Lin Lin was not there, they were busy making Lantern Festival and cooking Lantern Festival, and they were quite in a hurry. By the time they went over to look, Wu Keming had already finished painting and fell asleep on the ground, with two pools of vomit next to his head.

They were busy serving Wu Keming and tidying up the yard, which took about half an hour.

By the time they remembered what Wu Keming had just done, the ink was still there, but they couldn't tell what they were drawing.

The full moon is tilted, and the light has changed at a different angle, which is completely different from the square.

Only the artist himself can see the peerless work that survives for a moment, and even this person wakes up drunk and loses all his memories.

But even so, this work once existed, as if the light of human art briefly shone here.

Just like the ice sculptures on and off the mountain, the spring flowers under the mountain will melt immediately, and the hard work on the mountain is still not very retained.

Yet they also existed, and a moment is eternal.

So, some things only want to exist for a while, not for eternity?

No, it's not right......

Xu Wen had some enlightenment in his heart, but he hadn't completely thought it through.

He let out a long breath and gradually came back to his senses, noticing the sound of soft breathing beside him.

He turned his head and saw Lian Linlin, sitting on the stone bench beside him, holding his cheeks, and he didn't know what to think about.

The light under the eaves fell on her hair and cheeks, warm.

"Lin Lin. Xu Wen laughed when he saw her and shouted.

Even Lin Lin still held his cheeks, as if he didn't hear his voice.

Xu Wen walked up to her, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, Lian Linlin's long eyelashes blinked, and suddenly woke up. Her eyes were instantly confused, as if she didn't know where she was, but the next moment, she looked up at Xu Wen and shouted, "Xiao Xu!"

Xu Wen also smiled.

Being looked at like this by Lian Linlin, it was hard not to laugh.

He walked over to another stone bench and sat down, asking, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm still thinking about what I saw on the way from Jiangnan to Ximo. Lian Linlin's voice was fluttering, as if he was still immersed in his memory and did not come out. After saying this, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have told Xu Wen about this before, and hurriedly said,

"Don't laugh at me, this is the first time I've gone so far, and I've really seen a lot of things, which I haven't seen before!"

"For example?" Xu Wen, of course, would not laugh at her, and asked softly.

"For example, I know that outside, craftsmen eat hundreds of meals. In addition to being diligent and good at craftsmanship, he also has a sweet mouth and can speak to please the owner. Once, when we were passing by, we met a stonemason crying because he had just repaired a monument, and then he told the proprietor, 'The stele has been repaired, and the nail is gone', but the proprietor's face immediately changed, and without saying a word, he was kicked out, and his wages were not settled. Although he really can't speak, it's still quite pitiful that he has been repairing the monument for so long and doing day work, and the family has no food to eat. Lian Linlin sighed softly.

"Nail" is the same as "Ding", Ding is gone, which is equivalent to cursing other people's families to cut off their children and grandchildren, no wonder the owner is angry.

This is also a common thing in these years, many craftsmen have no opportunity to read and write, and basically have no education level. Some have suffered the whipping of life and learned to see people and talk nonsense, but many more people still can't beat a fart with three sticks.

Like this, there are not a few people who have said the wrong thing and lost their wages, and there are not a few people who are innocently deceived by the owner.

Not to mention serving in various places, being bullied by unscrupulous foremen is a common thing, Xu Wen has not been in the West Desert for a long time, and he has seen it many times.

"There is also fun, once passing by a village, there was a small iron master who happened to carry the burden. He repaired the copper kettle, and when he barted the spout, his hand shook and a piece was missing. The sister-in-law of that family quit, insisted that he have less money, his ears are not good, so he pretended to be deaf, and he pretended not to hear anything the sister-in-law said, and I was about to die of laughter next to me. ”

Lian Linlin said another thing, giggled, and showed Xu Wen the way he looked like a master.

"Also, there is a coffin rope, so thick hemp rope...... "Lian Lin Lin is worthy of being a half-step heavenly daughter, and there is no one craftsman in her eyes, and there are craftsmen and craftsmen everywhere.

I haven't seen a lot of these questions she said, she listened to them with relish, and she asked questions from time to time, so even Lin Lin became more and more energetic, her eyebrows fluttered, and there were many details.

"It's really better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, in fact, many of these you said have also been seen in books, but you haven't seen it with your own eyes, and it's still not enough to understand. Xu Wen sighed.

"yes, yes. You see a lot of things when you see them with your own eyes, and that's what you've said before...... Details?" said Lian Linlin with great interest.

"Yes, and you're very observant, and you have a very unique perspective. ”

"What do you mean by perspective?"

"It just depends on how you look at something. Your angle is very low and delicate, which is also a girl's advantage. ”

"Hee-hee. Lian Linlin was praised and was very happy, holding his face and smiling.

"If I have the chance, I really want to go and see it. Xu asked.

“...... Oh, yes. Lian Linlin still held his face, his smile faded, and he said softly.
