Shen Mange went back to his room to rest angrily, and Bai Shuhang quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah, the witch is gone!

As a result, he was very happy and sad, and he went down with a knife and cut a large piece.

Lu Zi'an said coldly: "Are you peeling the radish, in order to show that you have great strength?"

"......" Bai Shuhang was so cowardly that he shrank his neck and didn't dare to make a sound, silently moved the big piece to the side and continued to carve.

As a result, he finally carved a normal one, and there was a knot in the back that could not be pierced, so he could only insert it one after another, but the first few knives did not penetrate, and the back knife pierced too deeply, and when he pulled it out, a small piece of wood fell out.

Lu Zi'an sneered: "Pull out the radish and bring out the mud, are you doing a show? Nine shallow and one deep? Do you want to find someone to dub your voice by the way?"

Poor Bai Shuhang shrank into a quail, and his face turned red.

Never mind.

Lu Zi'an put down the teacup and lifted the knife: "Look." ”

"Oh!" Bai Shuhang sat up obediently, not daring to blink.

Lu Zi'an pointed to the root material: "Carving, pay attention to the stability of the knife, when it is flat, it is flat, like this, the flat surface, you don't have to pay attention to any skills, just dig it honestly." ”

The sawdust fell, and the tip of the knife gradually went in, stopping at a nodule.

Lu Zi'an stopped his movements, and the tip of the knife lightly knocked on the nodulum: "When you encounter a nodule, you will break it, break it, not let you break the tip of the knife, but like this, probe in at an oblique angle, and slowly cut it from all sides to the middle...... But because this is a root carving, you have to be careful not to leave carving marks and not damage the texture of the whole part. ”

Bai Shuhang nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and subconsciously took a carving knife to follow the root material in front of him.

Seeing that he had made progress, Lu Zi'an nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's it, I'll take a look at a few more." ”

Although Bai Shuhang is a good man, he has studied for so many years, and he still has a sense of knife, but he was not serious before.

Now that I have practiced seriously, I didn't even make any more trouble, and I carved out a circle with a diameter of one centimeter steadily.

Lu Zi'an took the carving knife and tapped lightly around his circle: "Here, you can see for yourself, there are edges and corners, and the circle has no corners, this is not for you to make a square body, understand? Try to sharpen as many knives as possible, so that it is smooth and flat, as I just said, you can't leave carving marks." ”

Damn, it's too difficult.

Bai Shuhang nodded with a bitter face: "Okay, I'll work hard!"

Seeing that he began to carve the next circle, Lu Zi'an stretched out his hand to him: "Give me the phone." ”

used his WeChat to talk to Zou Kai, and then took Bai Shuhang's mobile phone and added Zou Kai's WeChat, and Zou Kai quickly passed the friend verification.

He directly sent a video to Zou Kai: "What are you doing?" ”

"Play a game!" Zou Kaile Zizi: "Hehe, everything is done, I'm going to stay up all night tonight!

"Well, it's not a trumpet, it's hard work, it's okay to stay all night. Lu Zi'an praised him, and then changed the conversation: "Then you can do me a small favor by the way?"

Zou Kai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Brother An, you said! Go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I won't be a man if I frown!"

"Well, it's not that much trouble. Lu Zi'an pointed the camera at Bai Shuhang: "You just help me keep an eye on him, just don't let him be lazy." ”

Is there still this operation?

Zou Kai frowned and said, "Where did this monkey pop up? What did he do? ”

Lu Zi'an smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that he has to do it all night, and I'm going to go to bed, since you also have an all-nighter, it's just right." ”

He fixed the mobile phone to the coffee table and aimed it at Bai Shuhang: "Practice well, and the gap between each hole should not exceed five millimeters." ”

After speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and went back to the room leisurely, leaving Bai Shuhang and Zou Kai staring wide-eyed.

Both of them are crazy swipes of all kinds of MMPs in their hearts.

Of course, Lu Zi'an still left a quilt for Bai Shuhang, well, he felt that he was really kind.

The next morning, when he got up to check the results, Bai Shuhang was already sleeping with the quilt in his arms, snoring loudly.

After inspecting the root wood, it was already covered with holes that had been pierced, some large and some small, and some were carved, but more were about one centimeter in diameter, and the interval between each adjacent hole was basically within three to five millimeters.

Lu Zi'an nodded with satisfaction, it was still saved.

Woke Bai Shuhang up, and after breakfast, Lu Zi'an took him to another root.

This is the root of a red bean tree, which is obviously dead, and the surface is uneven, and the traces of various insects and ants are obvious.

Lying upside down on the ground, the roots are stretched out in all directions, and the appearance of teeth and claws is very bluffing.

"Come, carry over. Lu Zi'an rolled up his sleeves and lifted the root of the tree to the coffee table with Bai Shuhang.

Lu Zi'an nodded at the root of the tree: "Tell me, what do you think it looks like?"

This one...... Like what? Like roots......

Bai Shuhang was entangled, hummed for a long time, and muttered: "Like, like a branch......"

"Good. Lu Zi'an clapped his hands: "Then you can make it into a branch." ”

"Huh?" Bai Shuhang was dumbfounded: "This, make it into a branch?"

Lu Zi'an nodded: "Of course, since you think it looks like a branch, then make it a branch." ”

“……”

Seeing that he looked confused and didn't know how to start at all, Lu Zi'an sighed: "Haven't you ever done a root carving?"

"Yes. Bai Shuhang rubbed his hands: "Grandpa said that I was more suitable for root carving, and I often let me practice when he was still there, but my uncle and grandfather let me practice from the basics, so I have been practicing knife skills now." ”

Old Man Bai's vision is still very accurate, Lu Zi'an nodded: "The art of root carving, pay attention to three points of artificial, seven points of nature, it is limited by the root material in the natural root direction and knots, scars, holes and other conditions of creation, this is the principle." ”

Bai Shuhang has the foundation, but he is not suitable for decent wood carving, he is easy to get nervous, and he will mess everything up if he takes it step by step, but if you look at it from another angle, maybe there will be new discoveries.

Lu Zi'an knocked lightly on the wood carving: "Carved too much is wood carving, since you think it is like a branch, then according to your own ideas, make it into a branch, you don't need to think too much about what it will be like after it is made, just follow your first idea, according to the natural roots of the carved three points of artificial carving and deletion so that the carved part does not show carving marks." ”

Is that okay too?

Bai Shuhang's eyes lit up: "Whatever tool I use, whatever method I use?

"Of course. Lu Zi'an opened another set of root carving tools brought by Wu Yu: "Shovels, scrapers, sachets, wooden hammers, steel files, you can use whatever you like, I don't care about your process, you don't have to think about whether your operation is in line with the rules, just do it according to your own ideas." ”

"Okay!" Bai Shuhang replied loudly, his eyes shining around the roots of the tree twice, and then he began to prepare to peel and rot.

The general method of peeling and rotting is to soak the root material in water for more than a month, and then carefully remove the epidermis, and the inner epidermis is removed with a small brush or wire brush dipped in water.

But time was pressing, there was no time to soak them slowly, and the roots of the tree were quite rotten, so Bai Shuhang directly adopted the fire roasting method, he picked up the blowtorch, adjusted the heat several times, and then carefully began to spray the roots.

The fire will not achieve the effect, and the fire will burn the wood inside the root material into charcoal, so this degree is a great test of the craftsman's observation.
