Diao Long was still not at ease, walked to a small stone lion statue placed outside the house, squatted down, hugged his arms, took a secret breath, and then let out a loud shout, holding the stone lion and standing up.

The stone lion is about two hundred catties, and Diao Long, an old man with a sixtieth birthday, can actually hold it. It can be seen that his arm strength is quite amazing.

"Good!"

Qin Xiaochuan and Xiao Zhiyu couldn't help but shout.

This is not over, Diao Long actually hugged the stone lion and walked around the yard before putting the stone lion back in its place.

Diao Long patted his clothes, raised his right hand and looked again, still not trembling at all.

This time he was completely relieved, walked up to Qin Xiaochuan, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said heartily: "Young man, you are really great, your old man agreed." ”

Qin Xiaochuan smiled: "Then thank you old man." ”

Xiao Jingteng, Xiao Zhiyu, and Zhang Xinran all smiled with relief.

Diao Long went back to the house to change his clothes, and accompanied by his daughter Diao Fengqin, he drove to Xiao's house.

As soon as he entered the Xiao family's compound, Diao Long saw the yang stone placed there.

"Yang ...... Yang Shi?" Diao Long's pupils dilated, and he exclaimed, "Mr. Qin, I'm not mistaken, right?"

Qin Xiaochuan said with a smile: "Old man Diao Long is really good eyesight." ”

Diao Long hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and gently stroked it with his hand, his lips trembled, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and he looked extremely excited.

Well, even if this stone is a rare yang stone, you don't need to be so excited, right?

Qin Xiaochuan looked at Diao Fengqin beside him in confusion and asked, "Sister Diao, why is the old man so excited?"

Diao Fengqin smiled charmingly and said softly: "Mr. Qin, you not only cured my father's illness, but also helped him fulfill his greatest wish. ”

Qin Xiaochuan wondered, "Is there one?"

Diao Fengqin explained with a smile: "My father's greatest wish is to use the best stone to create the most satisfactory work in his lifetime, so as to pass on to future generations." Do you understand?"

Qin Xiaochuan nodded.

A master like Diao Long, who is at the level of a grandmaster, pursues leaving a perfect work for future generations to admire. As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle. Good work, of course, requires good materials.

Yang stone is originally a rare thing, and such a large and complete yang stone is even rarer. No wonder Diao Long was excited like this when he saw it.

Qin Xiaochuan walked over and asked with a smile, "Old man, how is it?"

Diao Long nodded and sighed: "It's the first time in my life that I've seen such a large piece of yang stone. Mr. Qin, thank you for giving me this opportunity to show my skills. ”

"Old man, you are too polite. I should say that it is my blessing to have you to help me with this task. Qin Xiaochuan said with a smile.

"There's a question I'd like to discuss with you. Diao Long looked at the yang stone, looked at Qin Xiaochuan, and said seriously: "I think carving a unicorn with this stone is more in line with its original size." ”

Qin Xiaochuan was stunned, walked into the distance, carefully looked at the signs of the yang stone, then nodded, and said with a smile: "The old man is really a master, and his eyesight is extraordinary! Old man, you can do what you want and let it go. ”

"Thank you for your trust. Diao Long said gratefully: "I can meet such a good stone in my life, as my final work, I have no regrets in this life!"

Xiao Jingteng was overjoyed and said: "The finale of Old Man Diao Long must be a masterpiece of the world, and my Xiao family will be safe for generations." ”

In the afternoon, the engraving work began.

Diao Long called more than a dozen apprentices to come to help, and the Xiao family's compound suddenly became lively.

Diao Long first asked the apprentices to chisel off those heavy parts with axes, and when the general appearance of the unicorn came out, he didn't let the apprentices do it, and he hammered it himself.

Seeing that everything was arranged, Qin Xiaochuan said goodbye to Xiao Jingteng and said, "Old man Xiao, the matter has finally come to an end, and I will go back today." ”

"So fast?" Xiao Jingteng said in surprise: "The unicorn hasn't been carved yet, and it hasn't been placed yet?"

"In less than half a month, Kirin can't finish work, the hospital can't do without me, and there is a patient waiting for me to go back for surgery. Qin Xiaochuan said with a smile, "When the unicorn is carved, you call me again, and I will complete the final process." ”

Yesterday, Xiao Jingteng also listened to what Zhang Gaocai said to Qin Xiaochuan, and knew that what he said was true, and he heard him say that after half a month, he would come back to complete the last process, so he did not force him to stay.

When Xiao Jingteng sent Qin Xiaochuan and Zhang Xinran out of the gate of Xiao's house, he met Xiao Qinqin who came back from school.

Xiao Qinqin immediately walked to Qin Xiaochuan's side with a smile, pulled his arm, and said softly: "Hehe, little pervert, is there anything fun tonight?"

Xiao Jingteng said coldly: "Qinqin, your brother Xiaochuan is back, don't pester him." ”

"What? are you going back?" Xiao Qinqin's face was full of disappointment, and he pouted and said, "Don't go, I haven't had enough fun." ”

After getting along for the past few days, Qin Xiaochuan also had a good impression of this naughty and arrogant little girl, and said with a smile: "Little sister, study hard." When I come back, I'll take you to play again. ”

Xiao Qinqin reluctantly said, "You won't lie to me, will you?"

Xiao Jingteng said with a smile: "When this unicorn is carved, your brother Xiaochuan will come." ”

"Really, don't lie to me!" Xiao Qinqin said as he stared at Qin Xiaochuan.

"I won't lie to you. Qin Xiaochuan touched Xiao Qinqin's head, waved his hand and said, "Grandpa Xiao, I'm leaving." ”

It wasn't until Qin Xiaochuan and Zhang Xinran's car disappeared that Xiao Jingteng pulled Xiao Qinqin and turned around and entered the gate in a daze.

In the car, Zhang Xinran asked, "Are you going back?"

Qin Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Otherwise?"

Zhang Xinran glanced at him and said angrily: "Didn't my grandfather say that he wanted Sister Xiaozhou to teach you marksmanship?"

Only then did Qin Xiaochuan remember, there was really such a thing.

Thinking of being able to touch a pistol full of mystery, Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but be a little excited. Haha, if anyone dares to bully themselves in the future, they will take it out and rob him and kill him.

He nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, then find that girl to learn marksmanship." ”

Zhang Xinran said angrily: "What's the hurry, it's dark now, and if you want to learn marksmanship, you have to wait until tomorrow." ”

Qin Xiaochuan frowned and said, "Then where are we going now?"

"Open your head!" Zhang Xinran was embarrassed, took out a free hand, knocked on Qin Xiaochuan's head, and scolded: "At a young age, you want to do bad things?"

Qin Xiaochuan was also speechless, depressedly touched the head that had been knocked by her, and said with a bitter face: "Eldest sister, what bad thing do I want to do? It's a big night, where can I sleep if I don't open the room?"

Zhang Xinran knew that he had misunderstood Qin Xiaochuan, and said with a shy face: "You can sleep wherever you like, and it is best to live on the streets." ”

Qin Xiaochuan saw Zhang Xinran's pretty face crimson, so good-looking, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and said jokingly: "Then I'll sleep with you tonight." ”

"Phew!" Zhang Xinran snorted and said angrily: "You still said that you didn't want to do anything bad, I warn you, don't tease me with these meaty words." ”
