"Oh, by the way, Brother Xu, I almost forgot to tell you, I seemed to see Dong Yuxin in Chinatown yesterday, but I didn't see anyone again in a blink of an eye, and I didn't find it again after looking for a long time. In the taxi, Jiang Lili said suddenly.

"Really?" Ge Dongxu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and the past that had been sealed for many years involuntarily came to mind, but soon Ge Dongxu smiled and stopped remembering.

Everyone has had a stage of youthful sprouting, and Ge Dongxu is no exception.

It's just that I don't know when Dong Yuxin became estranged from him, and he didn't tell him when he moved, and even later he specially made a talisman for the college entrance examination of the three of them, pretending to go to the Taoist temple to help them ask for it, but Su Qian, one of the three, directly crumpled the talisman and threw it away, and laughed at Ge Dongxu's superstition. Although Dong Yuxin didn't explicitly joke that he was superstitious, he obviously agreed with Su Qian's words, and casually gave the talisman to Jiang Lili.

In fact, since that day, Ge Dongxu has lost his fate with her.

Later, Dong Yuxin went to the United States, and Ge Dongxu still learned the news from Su Qian.

After this incident, Ge Dongxu rarely thinks of Dong Yuxin again, and even if he thinks about it occasionally, he will not recall it soon.

Now that so many years have passed, he has also experienced so many winds and waves, life and death, and he will only cherish the people who are really worthy of his cherishment, if Jiang Lili doesn't mention it this time, he will forget that Dong Yuxin is in the United States.

"Yes, I remember ...... back then," Jiang Lili said, looking at Ge Dongxu cautiously.

"Hehe, it's all in the past. But you used to be good sisters, and if you really want to find her, I can still help you. Ge Dongxu said, he naturally understood what Jiang Lili meant.

"Is that okay? Communication wasn't as easy as it is now, so we cut off contact shortly after she went to the United States. In fact, it is impossible to find the intimate relationship before, but I haven't seen her for so many years, and I always want to know how she has been doing all these years, and how is her life now? Jiang Lili said, with a hint of remembrance in her eyes.

"That's right. Okay, after you talk to that boxwood carving master, I'll ask Fang Kunquan to help inquire, he is a snake on the ground, I think as long as Dong Yuxin lives in San Francisco, he should always be able to inquire. Ge Dongxu nodded.

"Brother Xu, will this make you owe others a favor?" Jiang Lili asked after a hesitation.

"Hehe, in fact, I also want to know how Dong Yuxin is doing? Anyway, I used to have a friendship. As for the favor, it's just a small favor, and it's not a problem. And Senior Brother Yang, whom you haven't met yet, is a very senior elder in Hongmen, and he is also kind to Hongmen, Fang Kun is all from Hongmen, and I, as Senior Brother Yang's fellow disciple, asking him to do something is nothing at all. Ge Dongxu replied.

"That's good. Jiang Lili said happily when she heard this.

Chinatown was not far from their hotel, and while they were talking, the taxi arrived in Chinatown.

Boxwood carving is one of the traditional folk carving arts in the south of the Yangtze River and was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

The main material of boxwood carving is boxwood, boxwood is a dwarf evergreen shrub, slow growth, there is a "thousand years difficult to grow boxwood" said. There is even a record: "It is difficult for boxwood to grow, and it is only one inch longer in age, and it retreats when it encounters a leap." It can be seen that the growth of boxwood is slow, so boxwood generally has to grow for forty or fifty years before it can be used for carving, and it is only suitable for carving small figures for desk appreciation, and large pieces are extremely rare.

The birthplace and most prestigious place of boxwood carving is Ouzhou City.

Jiang Lili's visit to the boxwood carving surnamed Zhu, ancestral home in Ouzhou City, with his parents across the ocean to San Francisco when he was a teenager.

His father was a well-known boxwood carver in the local folk, and after arriving in San Francisco, he made a living from this craft, this master Zhu had a talent for woodcarving since he was a child, not only inherited his father's craft but also carried it forward, and became a recognized boxwood carving master in the Chinese American circle very early.

Many people came from far and wide to ask him for a work. However, now that Master Zhu is old, he basically does not do it himself, and his works are hard to find.

Master Zhu's boxwood carving storefront is in an inconspicuous corner of Chinatown.

However, as soon as Ge Dongxu entered, he could feel a quaint breath coming to his face, and there was a very light and light aroma lingering in the air, which made people feel refreshed.

In addition to these, there is a dazzling array of boxwood carvings, each of which is exquisite.

In addition to these boxwood carvings, there are also a few clerks and an old man wearing a white Tang costume with a simple and elegant temperament.

"Xiao Jiang, you're here. When the old man saw Jiang Lili come in, he stood up on crutches and said with a friendly smile on his face.

As he spoke, the old man glanced at Ge Dongxu with curiosity.

"I'm sorry Grandpa Zhu, I've kept you waiting, this is Ge Dongxu, my boyfriend. Jiang Lili hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"With bright eyes, a broad forehead, a straight waist, and a heroic and righteous spirit, he is a good man worthy of trust. The old man glanced at Ge Dongxu deeply and nodded.

"It turns out that Grandpa Zhu can also look at faces in addition to carving!" Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"Haha, I haven't studied physiognomy specifically, but everything is connected. The old man laughed.

"It is true that it is not difficult for skilled craftsmen to carve a beautiful wood carving, but to give it charm, it is necessary to see the inner essence through the appearance. Ge Dongxu was slightly stunned, and then he understood the meaning of the old man's words.

"Haha, yes, yes, young people have a very high level of understanding!" The old man couldn't help but appreciate Ge Dongxu when he saw that he could understand a little.

Seeing that the old man admired himself, Ge Dongxu secretly cried and laughed, he was an immortal-level figure, if he couldn't figure this out, then how could he cultivate to such a realm today?

Of course, Ge Dongxu naturally wouldn't say this.

Because Ge Dongxu had a very good appetite for the old man, and because of the fellow countryman, the old man exchanged a few words with the two of them in the store, and then enthusiastically led the two into the back room.

After entering the back room, the guests and hosts sat down, and after serving tea, the old man began to tell Jiang Lili about his deeds.

This was an appointment between the two yesterday, but the old man didn't have time yesterday, so he changed it to today.

Speaking of bitterness and emotion, the old man would shed a few tears, which made Ge Dongxu a little sour, and deeply felt how difficult it was for those people to cross the ocean and travel to a foreign land.

"Master, Mr. Zheng and Miss Dong are here. While the old man was talking, a middle-aged man came in and whispered to the old man.
