Chapter 220: Carved Orchid
Zhou Heng specially stepped forward to take a look at the unfinished wooden house, and felt that there was really something.
Zhang Yunxi's eldest son is named Zhang Dewang, who has been working outside all these years, and his plan for next year is the same as this year, and he will continue to work.
They have to work to save some money for their children to marry in the future.
However, a few days ago, I accidentally received a call from Zhou Heng, saying that he had contracted land to raise sheep in the village, and asked his wife to help take care of it, and the salary was okay, so he asked him if he would come.
Then of course he was happy, why not come?
When they came back, they worked diligently for a few days, and the children circled around them, as happy as if they were something.
Later, Zhou Heng had something to do for the time being, and they also managed the sheep farm in an orderly manner, and nothing happened. Now, he was concentrating on building another house for the vigil.
The sheep farm is sure to keep vigil.
Fortunately, they don't have any big animals here, and they haven't seen wolves or anything for years, but they are mainly guarding against people, afraid that people will steal sheep.
This is not a trivial matter, cattle and sheep are valuable, and there are many people who covet them. A cow costs 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan, and a sheep is also a few thousand yuan, which is enough to make people red-eyed.
Although Zhou Heng has installed a camera here, it must also be someone here to be a deterrent.
After setting up a shed here for two nights, Zhang Dewang realized that this is not good, it is too cold, and it is not possible to do this every day, so he thought that he would also build a small house, at least to block the wind and inch, and it is not so cold.
Then he went and cut down a few trees and started building such houses.
Although Zhou Heng had already built a brick house for the night watch, he didn't live there, so as not to live by himself, and when the boss came, there was no place to stay.
Although it is a hut, the work is not small, and I do a little bit a day.
Zhou Heng felt that the creativity of this small cabin was really good.
Forest huts in many countries are made of wooden houses, and it is said that those rich people now like to buy this kind of log villas, as if they have more taste.
Especially in countries like Canada, where the forest covers a large area, and the primeval forests that are hundreds or even thousands of years old at every turn, the trees are thick and tall, and you can make a wall by cutting down a tree at will.
We're a little bit worse, but we have that meaning.
Not only Zhou Heng thought so, Jiang Xiaoxuan directly took the camera to shoot.
After a little more leisure, they started to make dinner.
It can be seen from such trivial things as washing and cutting vegetables - Wang Caijun is a person who doesn't know anything about farm work, and he can't even do these things well, and he looks like a person who has never done it.
It's really hard for him to come to this place to experience life.
However, this person has a very good attitude and is very willing to learn what he can't do. In fact, how hard can it be, and if you are willing to do it, you can do it well.
While they were busy with dinner, Hu Jinhua had already begun to carve the branch he had picked up.
After dinner, when everyone cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, he took them out again and continued to carve, and he could already see a prototype - he carved an orchid, Chunlan.
The section itself resembles a taro, which is not carved, and naturally resembles the fat roots of an orchid, and the curved branches on it are split by Hu Jinhua with a knife to become thin and flat orchid leaves, which are naturally like the wind blowing and bending.
He also carved three flowers with his own thickness, either in bloom or budding, in different shapes, and swaying with the wind.
The veins on the leaves and the textures on the flowers are all vivid. In particular, this woody expression feels really suitable for the quiet style of orchids.
Zhou Heng didn't have anything to do, so he sat down and looked at his craftsmanship.
He exclaimed, "Yes, old Hu! You have turned decay into magic!"
When Hu Jinhua picked up this half of the wooden stick before, he also took a look, it was an ordinary random variety of stick, which had been dried here for I don't know how long.
If it weren't for the remoteness of this place, it might have been picked up and burned as firewood.
However, under Hu Jinhua's carving knife, this orchid seemed to come to life.
It seems that he follows those old artists every day to do things, and now he has made a lot of progress, various knife techniques, etc., and has reached a new level.
In fact, he also knows that technology is only one aspect, and if there is no corresponding artistic aesthetics and inspiration, he will have superb carving skills at most, and he will not become an artist.
For example, some people have the art of engraving, but they can only carve according to other people's patterns or lines drawn by others, and they can't imagine works with artistic appeal, which is just in vain.
Wang Caijun washed the dishes and chopsticks, dried his hands, and came over to take a look, and he was also amazed: "Sure enough, the mountain village hides the dragon and the crouching tiger!"
First, Zhou Heng used ordinary wild rattan to weave hammocks, and now someone has carved such a beautiful orchid.
He didn't dare to underestimate the small world here.
It was not early, Zhou Heng lit a fire here, anyway, it was boring, and it started to get cold again at night, so warm up with a roasting fire.
Zhou Heng asked Wang Caijun: "How is it? This place is different from what you think, right?"
"It's okay, I think it's good, it's just a little colder. But I guess it's the reason why I'm too idle, and I'll be fine if I start working tomorrow. Wang Caijun leaned back in his chair and looked up at the stars above him.
Tomorrow it will be clear, and as soon as the sun comes out, the snow on the road will start to melt.
From time to time, a gust of wind blows, and the snow on the trunks of the trees where the leaves fall cleanly blows down, becoming a unique charm in the mountains at night.
He exhaled white air and said, "Actually, I quite like it here, and I feel very peaceful inside." ”
Zhou Heng added firewood to the fire and didn't say anything.
He doesn't know much about these aspects, he can't express any opinions, and he can't persuade people, anyway, if this person thinks it's okay, then it's okay.
Sometimes I think about it, people are really strange, people in Dashan Village desperately want to go out, and some people desperately yearn for Dashan.
In the end, people just need to know what they have to do.
There was nothing to do, Zhou Heng took out the wine, added the peanuts and dried fish he brought, drank with Wang Caijun, and chatted about some topics that were not idle, such as the weather, such as what strange things are in the mountains.
It's funny, but it doesn't involve the people themselves - they don't know each other yet, so what are you talking about so deeply.
And during this time, Hu Jinhua has been perfecting his orchid, and it is not cold to sit by the fire anyway. Jiang Xiaoxuan's camera has a shelf, directly facing the work in his hand.
If they hadn't been here, this would have been a deserted hillside, and there would have been no sound except for the whirring wind, and now there was the sound of talking, and the beeping of firewood.
Suddenly, a fluttering sound came, and a black shadow flew straight towards Zhou Heng, if the weather fell on Zhou Heng's shoulder.
An owl.
Except for him and Jiang Xiaoxuan, everyone here saw a real owl for the first time, not in the video.
For a moment, they were all stunned, looking at this uninvited guest in amazement.
They didn't dare to move, for fear that they would scare away this extremely good-looking nocturnal bird of prey.
Before Zhou Heng could catch the bird of prey in his hand, the big yellow dog lying next to him roasting the fire had already stood up, put on a defensive posture, "bluffed" in his throat, and bared his teeth at the owl.
This guy is ready to jump up and attack the owl at any time.
Jiang Xiaoxuan said with a smile: "This is really a kiss dog, I protect you more, for fear that you will suffer." ”
Zhou Heng comforted the big yellow dog: "Okay, okay, it's okay, don't bark." ”
I remember that when the family just brought back the little milk cat, this guy didn't want to welcome the little guy, and he was afraid that he would step on it if he ran fast, and he walked slowly.
Zhou Heng still thinks that this big yellow dog is going to be a daddy, and it is too gentle.
However, its tenderness may have been given to the little milk cat, and since then, it has also been angry when it sees a sand sculpture, and it is also angry now.
The vinegar is not small.
Zhou Heng took the owl down, held it with one hand, and then comforted the big yellow dog with the other, and said, "Look, isn't it good to live in peace? This guy is very good, and he wanted to send a mouse to me to eat last time." ”
Everyone who listened laughed.
Cats seem to have this attribute, and they like to share their food with their owners, which shows that owls really have some "cat" nature.
Zhou Heng explained to them that this owl did often come to him, and he brought a mouse over last time, and he wanted to feed himself.
In other words, this owl is much more courageous than a sand sculpture. Now that there are so many people here, it flew over directly, resting on Zhou Heng's shoulder, a picture that everyone is very familiar with.
Zhou Heng took the lead in stroking the owl first, this guy was so happy that his eyes narrowed, and they became two curved arcs, just like the smile in the emoji, which was indescribable.
And its appearance is really high, the coat color is twisted, the top of the head is white, and the appearance is sharp with an eagle, it is very handsome.
Such a guy, but he likes to be masturbated so much, so it was masturbated by several people on the scene.
Wang Caijun is really very happy, he only stayed here for the first night today, and he got such a big gift, and it is really lucky to be able to get close to such wild animals.
This cute little animal really healed him.
Zhou Heng said: "This owl is the one in the last video." ”
Wang Caijun had already seen it, nodded and smiled: "I already recognize it." ”
He thought, who said that the mountains are lonely? Isn't that a good company? It will share food with you, and it will come to see you, and it won't ask you for anything. It's much better than human companionship.
Hu Jinhua also looked at the bird, thinking to himself, or the protagonist of the next work?
But he laughed and said, "You say that if this owl falls into the fire, it will be roasted enough for several people?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
It's just a joke, who will eat it, it's estimated that there are not a few taels of meat.
The owl probably felt the killing intent from the laughter of humans, and then flapped its wings and flew away silently, in a handsome posture.
It's kind of a little episode tonight.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Hu Jinhua announced "finished", his work was finished, and then packed up the tools.
Li Li was the first audience as usual.
She and Jiang Xiaoxuan squeezed together to admire, the two of them had a common topic, and they chatted for a while about the artistic conception, and they both liked it very much.
Zhou Heng and Wang Caijun also took it and looked at it, and then they began to evaluate the work.
Li Li said to Zhou Heng: "Boss Zhou, can you weave a vase of rattan for me? I want to plug up this orchid." Be worthy. ”
Isn't it a pity that there are empty flowers and no containers?
