As Mr. Yan said, the birth of a thousand carp was actually completed by Qin Huai when he was in a state of excitement.

This state of affairs is a wonderful thing to appear in the creative process of the nuclear carver, but after all, it cannot be expected all the time.

What if one day there is no state?

Naturally, it was a strike.

What if you don't have a state for a few months?

Then strike for a few months – that's what the great nuclear carvers do, and strike without inspiration.

Simple and crude.

Therefore, a famous teacher is estimated to carve ten works a year. This is still a high yield.

Because of this, the nuclear carving market has always been in short supply.

Famous teachers are scarce, and the number of people playing is increasing day by day, but famous teachers often break the carving and drag the carving or even do not carve, which makes the supply and demand relationship more tense.

Although Qin Huai can also choose to strike now, what if he really has no inspiration for three months?

Missions fail, rewards disappear, and time is wasted.

Mr. Yan said that eighty years of his life have passed in a blink of an eye. Qin Huai was also afraid that Shaoguang would be fleeting.

There are so many traditional skills waiting for him to touch, to understand deeply, to carry forward......

How can you waste your time waiting for inspiration?

Qin Huai should take the initiative to find inspiration. Reading can bring inspiration, experience can accumulate inspiration, going out to feel life, can capture inspiration......

……

So Qin Huai put on a coat and drove to Xuanwu Lake.

This is the training ground of the ancient sailor, and a section of the ancient city wall still stands.

There are bright lights on the city wall, a road under the wall, the roadside metasequoia forest, the environment is elegant, it can be said that it is a smoke willow painting bridge. This season is the off-season for tourism, and there are few tourists, and it is quiet and quiet.

The water waves are slapping, making a roaring water sound, close your eyes, and use your imagination, it is facing the sea, and the spring flowers are blooming.

Why are you here?

Because Qin Huai wants to feel the water.

Water is everywhere, but Qin Huai has never felt it with an artistic eye.

In the past, Qinhuai was very vulgar, looking at the mountains or mountains, and looking at the water or water.

Now I want to appreciate the landscape from an artistic perspective, and the feeling is different.

Walking slowly along the road by the lake, the street lamps and the moonlight linger in a foolish way.

There are boats in Xuanwu Lake.

Qin Huai's goal is here.

I rented a small boat, put it in the lake, drove to the middle of the lake, and stopped.

The cool moon is full, and the cold air rises on the lake, isolating the bustling city, and the noise of the city in the distance seems to be silent.

Only the waves licked the bottom of the boat, and there was a sound of relish.

Qin Huai simply lay in the boat, his head resting on his arm.

Looking up, the mountain is high and the moon is small, boating and swimming in the lake, the breeze comes slowly, and the water waves are not prosperous. It's a beautiful scenery that is usually difficult to see.

This scene is somewhat similar to Su Shi's boating in the red cliffs.

Hopefully, inspiration will pop up.

'Looking forward to it. ’

If not, then Qin Huai can only come here every day to 'enlighten'.

If you can't do it again, go to Chibi and experience the original scenery.

……

The soft moonlight reflects the surface of the lake, and the water is shining.

There are many poems that float to the chest and pass through the mind, forming a picture.

Qin Huai's heart was peaceful.

Tranquility can go far. It can also make thinking purer.

Qin Huai began to incorporate the surrounding scenery and artistic conception into the nuclear boat, wanting to refine an image to express the artistic conception of the bright moon and the river.

In the process of practicing nuclear carving before, Qin Huai's carving technology has been made lifelike.

But that's not enough.

Isn't art always the pursuit of excellence?

Qin Huai let go of his thinking.

In ink paintings, the moon is painted directly, either hanging on the willows, or shattered on the surface of the water, or using frost all over the ground to express the moonlight.

The nuclear carving is fine, delicate and realistic.

The creation is limited to square inches, carving a small boat, it occupies all the space, the moon and the river are all images other than walnuts, but Qin Huai wants to express them on the nuclear boat.

Xu Beihong said: Painting a lifelike horse is already a master, but painting a horse outside the picture is the master.

So of course Qin Huai didn't want to stop at the master.

He wanted to follow the technique of the old man Qi Baishi to abstractly express the artistic conception of the moonlight.

There is no moon carved on the nuclear carving, no autumn water is painted, but it makes people feel the cool moon and sparkling river surface full of sky!

Unfortunately, it's a bit difficult.

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, Qin Huai came ashore with a wet mist - and returned with a feather.

Harvest...... Hardly.

It's normal.

Inspiration doesn't come casually, if that's the case, then how can there be only one grandmaster, Mr. Yan?

Take the ride home.

Find the key to open the door, and the light in the hallway suddenly turns on.

reflects a slightly tired, but beautiful face.

I don't know why, Qin Huai's mood suddenly resuscitated like an electrocardiogram.

But the loss of knocking on the door and being rejected a few days ago is slowly coming back to life.

Coupled with the fact that there is no breakthrough in art today, it is suddenly boring.

Glancing at each other, Qin Huai ignored it and opened the door by mistake.

"Bang!"

Shang Ya's tears flowed out as soon as she brushed it.

Why not just confess?

If she is given another chance, she will confide in her heart!

If you give it another chance......

However, the door did open.

Qin Huai turned around and looked at Shang Ya.

"I ...... I've been waiting for you for a long time. …… It was my dad who had a car accident and I left, I forgot to tell you, and I didn't have contact information. I miss you too. ”

Shang Ya hurriedly broke the door frame and explained in a panic.

"Hmmm......"

In fact, the relationship is not to the point of confessing to each other, but why do you suddenly feel relieved and a little happy when you hear the explanation?

"Boy, I'm afraid you're not in love." ’

I suddenly remembered the first time we met four years ago.

In the evening when the cicadas were chirping, the setting sun hit Shang Ya's long hair from the window, gilding her graceful body with a layer of gold, and she stood at the corner of the stairs in a sky blue floral over-the-knee skirt.

smiled very much like Qin Huai's dream lover.

The first time we met, I remember it clearly?

Qin Huai was startled, opened the door, and at the same time opened his heart.

"I'm a mess here. ”

The bed is laid flat, but a lot of manuscript paper is built high, walnuts are piled into bamboo baskets, bamboo strips are placed on the ground, pen and ink inkstones, and nuclear carved bamboo weaving waste...... These things are all crammed into cramped rental houses, and they are completely untidy.

"It's messy, but it's not sloppy, and you're crouching so many things into such a small room. ”

Shang Ya walked into the rental house and looked around with interest, she had long wanted to know Qin Huai, but she couldn't muster up the courage.

Even if you pluck up the courage once in a while...... But thinking of Qin Huai's absent-minded and coldly locked the door, he was discouraged.

Qin Huai has done a lot of things like locking the door!

"For four years, you've been staying at home every day and tinkering with this? How can any young person have the same perseverance as you do now? ”

Shang Ya dialed the bamboo strips, soft like noodles, it was hard to imagine, that's all, woven into that cute panda bag.

Terrible!

Novelty!

"Will the money be beyond your means?"

"There was a while. ”

"Then I'll raise you. ”

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, Shang Ya must have mustered up a lot of courage to say this, and her ears were even red.

"I can sell the bag I bought before, anyway...... I don't necessarily want luxuries, either. ”

"I mean, with our relationship ......"

"Ah, isn't it a little abrupt?!"

"I'm actually saying that we've known each other for four years and should ...... Early...... If you take the initiative, we even have children. ”

Shang Ya stumbled over the explanation, and the result became darker and darker.

'What are you talking about?'

The corners of Qin Huai's mouth unconsciously hooked, and he smiled knowingly.

"I have a spacious bedroom, and you can put all these things in the living room. There are also desks...... If you don't mind. ”

"So you're going to live with me?"

Qin Huai didn't react, did he hear it wrong.

It seems that the relationship that has not broken the ice for four years suddenly got on the Harmony train. Harmony.

A beautiful landlady is in love with me?

"I ...... I just thought, when I wake up tomorrow morning and see you again, we'll be boyfriend and girlfriend. ”

What kind of nonsense is this talking about?

Qin Huai was a little red-faced, and he couldn't resist it.
