The old woman looked at Xue Bajin who was walking towards the door, and asked uneasily, "What's wrong?"

Mei Yixuan smiled and comforted: "No, auntie, I asked him to watch at the door, and we can talk in the house with peace of mind." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The old woman reacted, she didn't know what she thought, her whole body trembled, her eyes suddenly moistened for some reason, and she said with a little choked: "Thank you, this guest, we ······ I'm really scared..."

The young woman reminded softly, "Mother, let the guests into the house." “

The old woman wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "The guest is smiling, please come to the house, you see that I am really useless." “

Mei Yixuan took a closer look at the old woman, only to find that she was wearing an ordinary half-worn green clothes and half arms, with a wooden hairpin on her head, her face was full of sorrow and sorrow, and her cloudy eyes flashed with helplessness and compromise on life.

She couldn't help but feel gloomy in her heart, and she already had a faint guess about their family's situation.

There are three steps at the door of the three main rooms, and Mei Yixuan followed the master to the steps and entered the house.

After the old woman entered the house, she said to Mei Yixuan, "Guest, please take a seat, and I will let the old man come out." After speaking, he entered the east house with his daughter-in-law.

Mei Yixuan stood in the room and looked at it casually. The middle room appears to be a living room-dining room, with a half-old rectangular wooden table with eight chairs resting against the east wall. Due north are two Taishi chairs, and in the middle of the chairs is a wooden coffee table of the same material slightly higher than the armrest of the chair, on which is placed a set of purple clay pot tea sets. There is a wooden screen placed against the west wall, which is carved with the pattern of flowers, birds, insects and fish, which is lifelike and exquisite.

At this time, the faint sound of talking from the east room attracted Mei Yixuan's attention, and he couldn't help but listen intently.

"Father, slow down, don't worry. “

"Old man, come, hold on to me, let's go out slowly, the guests won't be angry. “

"I'm really a waste! I can't even take a few steps, what's the use of living?"

"Come, slowly, let's go out. Old man, you are the backbone of our family, if you have a good one, our family will be scattered······"

Mei Yixuan stepped forward and lifted the door curtain, and saw the old woman and daughter-in-law walking out with an old man about sixty years old.

Mei Yixuan saw that the old woman was struggling to support her, so she stepped forward and said, "Auntie, let me come." As he spoke, he grabbed the old man's left arm, transferred almost all of the old man's weight to himself, and slowly placed him on the Taishi chair in the east.

The old woman hurriedly thanked her: "Oh, thank you, thank you! Xiaoxia Niang, hurry up, make some hot water for the guest." ”

"Ah!" said the young woman, hurrying out of the house to boil water.

Then the old woman said to Mei Yixuan apologetically: "I'm sorry, there is no tea at home, only hot water······"

Mei Yixuan smiled: "It's okay, auntie, don't be busy, I'll just do it at will." ”

The old woman picked up a rag and wiped a chair clean, and said enthusiastically, "Guest, sit down, look at our room······"

"Okay, you go and see your daughter-in-law, don't nag anymore!" the old man, no, to be exact, Yao Fusheng said impatiently.

The old woman, that is, Mrs. Yao, was not annoyed when she heard the old man pry her, she smiled at Mei Yixuan apologetically, took the rag and went out.

Mei Yixuan had time to glance at Yao Fusheng at this time, and just one glance made her heart sink.

I saw that Yao Fusheng's old face was full of wrinkles and vicissitudes, and the most obvious thing was that there was a scar on his face. The scar stretched across the entire cheek, from the left eye socket, the bridge of the nose to the right cheek, and it may have not been treated in a timely manner, making the whole face look hideous.

What shocked her the most was not the scar on his face, but the fact that his two hands were missing three fingers each, and the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger were cut in half. A craftsman has a pair of skillful hands, and without his fingers he is equivalent to becoming a waste, how can he be a craftsman?

Mei Yixuan couldn't help but be furious in her heart, who the hell is it, this is too much! It's too vicious! What kind of hatred does it have to treat a person like this? Thinking of the shopkeeper's secretive appearance, is it a crime? Some craftsmanship has become a crime, what is the reason?

"See?" Suddenly, Yao Fusheng broke the silence in the room and said coldly, "If you see it, go back, no matter what you want to do, Yao can't help." “

Mei Yixuan saw Yao Fusheng's appearance, and knew that this trip was in vain, so he hugged his fists and bowed to Yao Fusheng, and said: "Master Yao, junior Sang Xiaoran, because you urgently need to make a set of utensils, you took the liberty to come here, disturbed your life, and asked Master Yao to atone for your sins." “

Yao Fusheng stared at Mei Yixuan for a while, and after a long time, he smiled miserably and said, "Sang Gongzi, the reason why Yao asked you to come in was not to help you with anything, but because you knocked on the door Yao was afraid that he would alarm others and affect his family, so he let you enter the courtyard." Go back, I know I shouldn't be angry with you, but if I let ······ Knowing that, my family and I will not be able to survive here, and I hope that Sang Gongzi will understand Yao's hardship. “

Mei Yixuan nodded, but looked at Yao Fusheng and said, "Okay, the juniors won't bother your mansion again, it's just, can Master Yao show me the drawings in my hand and see if you can give the juniors some pointers?"

Yao Fusheng looked at the thin little boy in front of him suspiciously, knowing that it was not easy for him to run, although he couldn't help him, it was still okay to look at the drawings.

So, he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Mei Yixuan took out a stack of drawings drawn last night from his arms and handed them to Yao Fusheng: "Master Yao, if this set of equipment on the junior drawings can be made, the junior will definitely thank you, and money is not a problem." ”

Yao Fusheng took the drawings with difficulty in both hands, and glanced at Mei Yixuan with complicated eyes, it seemed that the last sentence angered him, but it didn't seem to be, and finally he couldn't resist the temptation from the drawings, so he still opened it.

He flipped through the drawings with his thumb and little finger, and immediately became interested in the things on the drawings. He kept flipping through them, imagining the process of turning them into finished products, and he couldn't help but feel a long-lost passion in his heart.

How long has it been? How long has it been since he had such impulses? How long has it been since no one showed him the drawings? He seems to have returned to the original high-spirited era, and one finished product after another was born in his hands, and that sense of accomplishment made him know the value of his existence, and also proved that he was an unshakable status of a generation of craftsmen.

Yes, maybe he was too famous, but he brought a monstrous disaster to his family, and his passion and dreams were shattered by the cruel reality, so he had to retreat to his own side of the world and become a turtle with a shrunken head. Is it true that I am willing to spend my whole life like this? Is my life's hard work in vain?

Mei Yixuan quietly observed Yao Fusheng's expression, and was deeply touched by Yao Fusheng's scorching, focused, resolute, and excited appearance. At this moment, Mei Yixuan was in awe of Yao Fusheng, no matter what kind of situation he was in, a person's character would not change, and Yao Fusheng at this moment showed the calm and atmospheric demeanor of a generation of craftsmen.
