Looking at these text messages, Lu Zi'an was a little amused and a little distressed.

With such a heavy rain, she was alone, obviously she couldn't hold an umbrella, but she still gritted her teeth and walked forward.

Really silly.

Silly cute.

I don't want to think about it, but this is a mountain trail, just in case......

What poured out of Lu Zi'an's head was the picture of Shen Mange not standing firm, falling, rolling down the cliff, and being cut by various branches on the way, and the scene of blood dripping with blood.

Just thinking about it, he felt that his whole body was stiff.

No, I can't think about it.

He swept out like a gust of wind and went straight to Shen Mange's room.

Because this is a temple and there are monks outside, Shen Mange didn't dare to wash for too long, and he came out when he felt warm.

When Lu Zi'an arrived, she was holding a bowl of ginger soup and drinking it in small sips.

"Brother Zian. Shen Mange just didn't want to drink, so he hurriedly put down the bowl and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

As a result, Lu Zi eased up, slowly sat down opposite her, paused, his eyes fell on the bowl, and said softly: "You drink ginger soup first, don't catch a cold." ”

With a bitter face, he slowly picked up the ginger soup again, and Shen Mange's eyes were still glued to him: "Have you drunk it?"

"Drink. Lu Zi'an looked at her, and couldn't say any words of reproach.

She is dedicated to his good, this rain has not stopped until now, if it weren't for her tonight, in order to protect the wooden box jade carving, I'm afraid he would really stay in the pavilion tonight.

As long as you have a little conscience, you can't say anything resentful.

But looking at her delicate and lovely appearance, Lu Zi'an couldn't help but think of his previous fantasy, took a deep breath, and then settled down: "Why did you suddenly come to the mountain? You will take the college entrance examination soon, every minute and second is precious......

"Hmm. Shen Mange gritted his teeth, simply poured the ginger soup down, grinned and stuffed a toffee into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks and said, "This is really no choice." ”

She pretended to be old and sighed: "You haven't been able to get in touch, it's all up outside, Zhuo Peng and they can't leave, uncles and aunts want to come, but it's so high and so far, I don't dare to let them come...... Hey, luckily I came. ”

If it were Lu's father and Lu's mother, knowing that Lu Zi'an was trapped on the mountain on this rainy night, I am afraid that he would also send an umbrella regardless of his safety......

Lu Zi'an became even more weak-hearted, and coughed lowly: "Thank you......"

"Oops!" Shen Mange waved his hand a little embarrassedly: "Don't talk about this, I have a mission this time, I will go back tomorrow after communicating with you!"

Straightening his back, Lu Zi'an sat up straight, and made a deferential appearance: "Okay, you say." ”

As a result, he did this, but Shen Mange hesitated, glanced at him with some hesitation, and then said slowly: "Brother Zi'an, have you heard of it...... Isaiah?"

Isaiah?

Lu Zi'an frowned slightly, a little puzzled why she suddenly mentioned this: "I've heard it, it's the New Zealand jade carving artist......, right?

"Well, you've heard of it. Shen Mange didn't let him continue to recall the man's full name, and sighed: "This person, come to Changyan." ”

is also a jade carver, and Shen Mange mentioned this person with such a demeanor......

Lu Zi'an muttered thoughtfully: "Coming at me?"

"Hmm. Shen Mange held his head with his hands in some distress: "You don't know yet, do you......?"

From the international certification to the incidents that happened later, she said slowly, and there was a little sigh in it.

"Brother Zi'an, I always feel that behind this, someone is deliberately pushing ......"

"Obviously, that's what you think. Lu Zi'an didn't care, his attention was still on that Isaiah: "If you say that, this Isaiah is not convinced, and he came to me specifically?"

Got up and took out a thick stack of documents from his backpack, Shen Mange didn't even bring much snacks, and the heaviest thing in the bag was it: "Although she didn't say that, we all think so, Zhuo Peng checked her out, this is all the resumes of those people on the list in this international selection." ”

None of them are simple.

Lu Zi'an took it and glanced at the end of her hair that was still dripping: "You go and dry your hair, I'll take a look at it myself." ”

The monks didn't have any hair, so naturally there could be no such artifact as a hair dryer.

"Okay. ”

is a thick piece of information, but Lu Zi'an is not slow to read it.

Of course, the others haven't come to Huaxia yet, so he doesn't need to care about it for the time being, and his attention is basically on this Isaiah.

She is only 29 years old, 17 years old to stand on her own, all the way to the major awards with strange ideas, especially good at the synthesis of jade and other elements, the works made by the combination of virtual and real, are indeed rare masterpieces.

Zhuo Peng's collection of information is very complete, and there are even a few prints of Isaiah's works in it.

One of these works is Isaiah's famous "Roots of the Wind".

How does the wind have roots?

If it is a Chinese artist, he may use the form to depict the artistic conception of the wind blowing the grass and showing the cattle and sheep with jade.

However, without the long history of China and the background of various poems, the works of this Isaiah master are still very distinctive.

It is a cypress root, and she retains its own smooth lines, completely unsculpted, just polished.

The swirling and curved roots twisted into strange shapes, rough and completely uncontrollable.

This is true nature, as if a tornado was roaring, revealing its hideous face to the world.

However, at the top of it, Isaiah carved a sleeping face of a beautiful woman out of jade, and then embedded it perfectly.

The clash of roughness and grace.

Sharp and soft opposite.

It can attract everyone's attention in an instant, and I can't help but imagine how many disasters such a tornado will bring once it descends on the world.

However, it is not a real tornado, looking at that gentle sleeping face, it makes people feel that this tornado is gentle.

Such entanglements and contradictions will make people can't help but feel that this work is too strange.

But if you think of the theme of that international competition, you will feel that this "Wind Root" is simply a stroke of genius.

"God loves the world......" Lu Zi'an muttered the theme, his heart beating a little faster.

Even Lu Zi'an had to admit that this was a genius.

Isaiah is really a genius, her works are very atmospheric, rough but occasionally in some small details, showing the grace of a woman in her bones vividly.

Her casual combination of jade, wood, and other metals is natural, as if her mastery of color was innate.

Such color sensitivity is extremely rare, even Lu Zi'an thinks about what theme to do according to the color of the jade itself, but she can combine them at will.

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Zi'an found that the biggest difference between him and this Isaiah is that if he has always been a free essay, then this Isaiah is good at propositional composition.

At that moment, he suddenly understood Isaiah's intention to come to China.

Because even he couldn't help but fantasize about what it would be like if they met.

What kind of sparks will there be when the cultures of the East and the West collide?

couldn't help but gently rub that work, Lu Zi'an felt his heart tense: Isaiah's work seemed to be sneering at the world.

Why do you say that jade carving can only be warm and soft?

Jade carvings can also be so rough and crazy!

Longing for nature, yearning for freedom.

Jade, from the mountains, from nature, can also go back to nature.

Even if she hasn't seen her in person, this very personal work has already outlined her image to Lu Zi'an.

It must be a fiery woman, with a fiery temperament, and when she looks at people, her eyes will be extremely aggressive, like a cheetah with momentum.

He closed the folder, a glimmer of anticipation for the upcoming meeting.

"How is it?" Shen Mange looked at him as he combed his hair.

Lu Zi'an smiled slightly: "I'm looking forward to it." ”

Shen Mange smiled: "Haha, I just said that you won't be afraid, but Zhuo Peng said be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship." ”

Raising his eyebrows, Lu Zi'an squinted at her: "Zhuo Peng thinks I'll be afraid?"

"Nope. Shen Mange paused, and wanted to laugh a little: "It's just some public opinion outside, after guessing who can win after you are right, and someone else has opened the market, do you want to guess your ratio?"

"How to guess this. Seeing that her hair was a little knotted because she didn't bring conditioner, Lu Zi'an naturally took the wooden comb in her hand: "Don't pull hard, you don't hurt." ”

He grabbed the root of her hair, and then slowly combed the ends of her hair, and Shen Mange combed the knot that was not smooth several times, but it was quickly combed through.

Let him toss, Shen Mange tried to look up at him: "Haha, it's basically one-sided, all bets on you to win at home, and Isaiah to win abroad." ”

Lu Zi'an didn't care about these or anything, he helped her straighten her hair, and muttered: "I still have to stay in the mountains for two days, you go back tomorrow, I'll deal with this matter." ”

An idea slowly took shape in his mind.

This night, after the rain stopped, Lu Zi'an made a phone call to Zhuo Peng and discussed until late before going to bed.

So the counterattack of Lu Zi'an, which everyone was looking forward to, did not come, and unexpectedly, Lu Zi'an's official Weibo even praised this outstanding Isaiah master.

It's a trick that's just incomprehensible - shouldn't they be opposites?

[Is it a killing? Yes, I like this. 】

[See too much, right? This is not a palace scheming, where are there so many conspiracies. 】

[Suddenly became a fan of Master Lu's path, so open-minded...... We mortals really can only look up. 】

But more people are puzzled by Lu Zi'an's behavior.

Two hours later, Lu Zi'an's official Weibo was updated again.

This blog post, like a slap in the face, stunned a group of people who just came to see the excitement.

The title is just two words: "Women".

The whole text is simple text, just a series of figures.

[The ratio of men to women in traditional Chinese crafts: 9:1

The ratio of male to female jade carving masters in Huaxia: 1:0

The ratio of male to female carpvers in Chinese wood carving masters: 1:0

……】

Behind the staggering figures are very obvious social facts.

It is true that few women participate in these traditional crafts, and even if they do, they are very few, usually in embroidery, rattan and so on.
