Chapter 117: Little Raccoon Wood Carving
"Ika! go and lick my brother's love!"
Saturday arrived as scheduled, it was already April 11th, and it felt like summer was getting closer.
However, at this time in the morning, the temperature is still very cool and pleasant.
On weekends, Gardenia's good morning call is two hours later than usual, because Yuanjia doesn't have to wake up early, but with the help of his energetic sister, he still can't sleep.
"Brother, what are you going to do in a while?"
Yuan Hui looked at her brother with a blank face, and her face was full of 'take me out to play'
"I'm going to the counseling room. ”
There was no appointment for visitors this morning, but there was one in the afternoon, and it was a female classmate in the class, who wanted to consult with Teacher Yuan about psychological problems.
Don't think that psychology majors don't have psychological problems, on the contrary, psychology majors have more probability of psychological problems than other majors, after all, many people choose psychology majors, in fact, to solve psychological problems for themselves.
"What do you do on duty?"
"Just sitting. ”
"Then, can I go with me?" Yuan Hui took her brother's big hand and shook it.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to do my homework!"
Yuan Jia couldn't refute this reason.
For Huihui, staying at home on the weekends is simply the biggest waste, even if you have to do your homework, it's better to go outside to do it, if you can go to the playground to do your homework, or go to the suburbs to do your homework, even better!
After breakfast, the brother and sister went out together.
"Didn't you do your homework?"
"yes. ”
"Then what are you holding Ika for?"
Ika said it was bored at home on its own. ”
Ika, who was put in the schoolbag by Yuan Hui, poked her head out of the zipper with a look of disgust.
It's not boring!
I was comfortably basking in the sun on the balcony, but I ended up packing it in my school bag.
"Hey...... Ika, you're so heavy!"
"Meow whoa?"
Coming to the consultation room, Yuanjia opened the door, and Yuanhui was the first to run in, open the schoolbag, and let Ika come out as well.
It's not the first time she's been to the counseling room, and there's not much fun to do here, but it's better than staying home and doing homework.
The counseling room is equipped with some common psychological counseling props, such as psychological sand table, relaxation chair, percussion instrument, love hugging person, shouting catharsis instrument and so on.
These psychological props are very different from the ones sold in the system mall.
Yuanjia is rarely used now, but as a professional consultation room, it still has to be equipped.
Huihui ran to the small room in the equipment room, waved her little fist to beat the catharsis man's chest, and dubbed herself in her mouth: "Bang, Bang, Bang!"
Yuan Jia laughed and said, "Who are you beating here?"
"I'm exercising! body!yaw!"
Or will Ika enjoy it, after entering the consultation room, he walked around twice by himself, and finally jumped on Yuanjia's desk, lay down on the table, and used the book he put on the table as a pillow, which was just enough to shine in the sun, and after yawning, he began to sleep happily.
"Brother, why did you put so much wood here?"
Yuan Hui, who was tired of hammering, sat on the relaxation chair to rest, and saw the pile of wood in the corner of the equipment room.
"Make toys. ”
Yuan Jia didn't go to the office to read, pulled a chair and sat down, and took out a set of carving knives from the cabinet next to him, round knives, flat knives, oblique knives, Yuwan knives, etc., small and exquisite, and bought a lot of money at that time.
"Make toys!"
Yuan Hui was shocked, jumped off the relaxation chair with excitement on her face, ran to Yuan Jia's side, and squatted down curiously to see how he made toys.
Of course, Yuanjia is not making toys, because he has been researching 'emotional carriers' before, including in the treatment of Wang Yalin and Jiang Shiyun, and 'emotional carriers' are also used
In order to better reflect the uniqueness of the emotional carrier, Yuan Jia planned to make some wood carvings by himself, which would also be more conducive to the anchoring of the heart anchor.
When the system points are enough, Yuan Jia will consider buying an emotion reader and writing some emotions into these wood carvings, which is the best 'medicine' he can prescribe to patients.
Through hypnosis, 'surgery', and through the use of wood carvings carrying positive emotions as 'medicine', can really effectively help neurotic patients solve their mental pain.
Neuroses include depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, etc., and simple talk therapy is useless, and the most effective ones are drug control and electroconvulsive therapy.
Yuanjia's hypnosis surgery and this special 'medicine' are the only ones.
Engraving is an art, and artistic talent is essential if you want to carve a good work.
Yuan Jia didn't have much artistic talent, he just regarded himself as a craftsman, so all he needed was some art skills and carving skills.
With the help of body coordination, Yuan Jia learned to carve very easily, whether it was the control of the force or the portrayal of the model, he could accurately drop every knife.
After carving a few pieces, he finally carved a good shape, and was able to easily carve the 'model' in his mind.
These days, when there are no visitors in the consultation room, Yuanjia practices carving here.
It's all the same work.
A small raccoon hiding behind a big tree.
This is a gift that Yuanjia intends to complete today and give to Gardenia tomorrow.
I didn't tell her, but I was a little surprise for her.
The wood is made of boxwood, which is harder, and if the material is harder, it will be much more difficult to carve, so he does it very seriously, carving it little by little.
"Wow! what a cute kitten!"
Looking at the fully formed wood carving in Yuan Jia's hand, Yuan Hui was amazed.
"It's a raccoon, not a kitten. ”
"Are those little raccoons we saw last time we went to the zoo?"
"Hmm, is it cute?"
"Lovely!"
Huihui was moved: "Brother, you are so good, you took me to see the little raccoon, and gave me the little raccoon." ”
"Who said it was for you?"
"Ahh
Huihui's eyes widened, such a cute little raccoon wood carving, didn't it give it to her cute sister?
"Then who are you going to give it to?
"Hmm. ”
"I want ...... too"
"Then you go to do your homework first, and when your homework is done, I'll give you a little fat cat." ”
"Is it a carved ica?"
"Hmm. ”
So Huihui happily went to do her homework.
Yuan Jia finally refined the little raccoon wood carving in his hand, which is mainly divided into two parts, one is the little raccoon part, and the other is the tree part.
The tree only has the section of the main trunk, but Yuanjia also put a lot of thought into carving out the bark folds of the trunk.
The most difficult part of the little raccoon is the 'big eyes that are curious and scared', and the portrayal of these eyes alone made Yuan Jia give up the two half-finished wood carvings.
He threw himself almost wholeheartedly into it, his mind was full of that image, he felt it with his heart, and finally little by little he wrote the taste into these eyes that seemed to be talking.
Of course, just a pair of eyes can't hide so many emotions, and they must be matched with other details.
Including the angle of the little raccoon's head, the curvature of the corners of its mouth, the strength of its little paws clinging to the trunk of the tree, and its tail shrunk behind it, etc., and finally give a close-up to the eyes, and there is a taste of eyes talking.
After the carving is completed, it also needs to be polished and waxed, which is also a meticulous job, and if you are not careful, you will have to wipe out some of the carving details.
Yuan Jia didn't dare to directly polish the finished product, even if his hand was very stable, he didn't want to take this risk, after all, it was the first time, so he took other semi-finished products to practice polishing first, and only began to polish the finished product until he was very proficient.
Because this is a gift to Gardenia, even if it is just a worthless wood carving with no artistic connotation, Yuan Jia also values it very much.
He took out the prepared beeswax, heated it into a liquid state, dipped it in wax with a cotton cloth, and coarsely sanded it with 400 sandpaper for the first time, and finely sanded it with 1000 sandpaper for the second time, hitting every corner.
Until the final product came out, Yuanjia carefully studied it for a long time, and finally was satisfied.
At noon, she went home for a meal, and in the afternoon Huihui came over with the cat on her back, after all, her homework had been done, but her brother's promise to give her a little fat cat had not yet been done.
"Ika, sit down obediently, don't move. ”
Ika was napping, and Yuanhui held it to prevent it from going soft and falling asleep again.
Yuan Jia found a piece of ginkgo wood, this kind of wood is soft, and it is relatively easy to carve a lot.
Practice makes perfect, Yuanjia made a statue of Ika on the spot, a palm-sized wood carving, it took half an hour, and gradually came out of the prototype, and after an hour, the general appearance was there.
Huihui blinked her eyes and asked uncertainly, "Brother, are you carving a pig?"
"Meow?"
Ika also looked at his statue, expressing deep doubt.
"Of course it's a cat, have you ever seen a pig with such a long tail?"
"Ah, sure enough, the more I look at it, the more I look like Ika!"
It wasn't until almost four o'clock in the afternoon that the little fat cat was finally carved, and after fine grinding and waxing, it really looked good.
Huihui held the wood carving, loved it, and planned to take it to school on Monday to show off to Qiao Shanshan.
The old brother sat on a small stool and carved wood for almost a whole day, and his waist was about to break, so he stood up and hammered his waist like an old man, and drank a few sips of water.
The doorbell rings.
It should have been the classmate who had made the appointment.
"I'll open the door!"
The little expert who opened the door ran out with the wooden carving of the little fat cat in a hurry.

(I'm so tired, I have to get up early to go to work, crying)
