Before dawn that night, he escaped without danger, and the patrols guarding the cave had already fallen into the gentle township of the temporary tent house, who would be so dedicated and dedicated to guarding the undeveloped cave on such a cold night, and it was not an open period, so He Zhixing quickly escaped.

It didn't take long for me to get out of the ancient Buddha Rock and come to the mountain road outside, and the crisp sound of sparrows and doves was heard in my ears, and the cries were joyful. He Zhixing's foot pain was not completely healed, he walked quickly with a half-limp, one of his sleeves was gone, revealing the short sleeves of the summer coat inside, which looked a little nondescript, he could only break a branch as a cane and quickly hand it back to the way home.

Thinking of last night's thrills, who would have thought that a teenager would be so bold to spend alone in an uninhabited dark hole? He himself smirked "hehe", touched the woodcarved beauty with his left hand and smiled complacently, and when he laughed until he forgot his feelings, his right hand unconsciously slapped his thigh, and he just happened to shoot the wound that hurt "Ouch......!" With a shout, he looked at it for a while, raised his head and glanced back and forth on both sides of the mountain road, and found that no one had put away his expression and hurried away.

It was almost noon when he got home, and his grandfather found him and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Stinky boy, why didn't you come back last night?" Don't you know how worried I am about you? You're angry with me, you ......" looked at the grandfather gritted his teeth and said with a blue face: "See if I don't kill you stinky boy, see if you are disobedient ......" After speaking, he quickly looked for a stick in the corner of the door of the bedroom where he slept, and every time he made a mistake, his grandfather would beat him twice with a stick and teach him to correct.

Grandpa found a stick and whipped him twice, and said angrily: "Say, where did you go when you finished it, why don't you go home?" Say, where did you go crazy last night......" while beating and spitting stars were sprinkled on him, Xiao Zhixing was very aggrieved, and clumsily blocked it with his hand: "Grandpa, don't fight, I said I ......"

There is no way to confess to be lenient and resistant, and he has to be honest, he told his grandfather about going to the ancient Buddha rock yesterday, of course, omitting which link of being bitten by a snake in distress, just said that he fell on his thigh and bruised the stone, and briefly said that after the difficulty, he opened the old bag and showed his grandfather the thousand-year-old stalactites he picked back, and grandpa looked at the moment when he opened the bag and smelled the fragrance of the strong and good-smelling medicine from afar, he was stunned and quickly grabbed it in his hand: "Boy, this is a thousand-year-old stalactite?" A real millennium stalactite? ……”

He Zhixing said "um", grandpa leaned close to his nose and smelled the comfortable fragrance of medicine, which he couldn't help but don't believe, he looked at it for a while and looked left and right in the room: "Quick!" Find a plastic bag to put it in and seal it......"

"Oh" found that He Zhixing was clumsy in walking: "Stinky boy, I can still come, look at your bear-like ......" He Zhixing could only sit on the edge of the bed again and let his grandfather fiddle with the thousand-year-old stalactite. Grandpa made rice noodles for him soon after he made it, and his stomach was already hungry, so grandpa said: "Stinky boy, rest well after eating noodles, grandpa went to ...... work"

What Grandpa does is nothing more than handmade woodworking furniture, and some people usually make it at home, so it is convenient.

For a month, in addition to practicing knife techniques every morning and evening, He Zhixing used herbs to bandage wounds with millennium stalactites, except for a small amount of filtered Ru juice to eat (sometimes grandpa also benefited from eating a little) The rest was used for him to carry out experiments, whether it was from the wound absorption or oral feeding or using herbs to appease the eyes at night, as long as he was lucky, he would have unexpected gains, which can be described as rapid progress, day by day.

During the day, when he was bored, he would go to the mountains or other people's homes and take back the wood that had just been cut down and brought back for his daily training class - carving, in addition to carving wood, sometimes carving vegetables and carving flowers, sweet potatoes and potatoes are his common use, grandpa saw him carving carefully and didn't bother to pay attention to him, let him toss. Zhang Ling and Zhang Yan The two girls often come to He Zhixing's house to play with He Zhixing as soon as they get out of school, begging him to carve and write and paint for them, whether it is carving radish flowers, sweet potato flowers, copying calligraphy, writing couplets, painting, etc., as long as it is He Zhixing's work, the two girls like it very much, and he is also happy to think about it and get along with the two little girls.

It wasn't until one day that he noticed that his eyes had become shrewd, and when the wooden carver was carving, he found that he could see through the head of the carved file, and he felt incredible! He was so shocked that he almost fell off the small wood with his left hand and didn't grasp it steadily, and after seeing that there was no one around, he quickly covered up his carving.

He felt that today's carving things are particularly handy, after eating in the afternoon, he didn't do three bells to carve an ancient lady, this will, the two girls came again: "Brother, brother......"

He Zhixing put down the carved ancient lady and smiled at them: "Well, Ling'er Yan'er, you're here."

Zhang Yan noticed the little woodcarving beauty that He Zhixing put on the chair next to her, and immediately rushed over and grabbed it in her hand and looked at it: "Brother, is this the woodcarving person you just carved?" It's so beautiful! Is it for me? People like it so much......" Zhang Ling also saw it, but she was one step slower than her sister, and held it in her hand, looking at the ancient little wood carving lady in Zhang Yan's hand, she also liked it, because the carving was very good and lifelike, with clear lines, whether it was from the head, facial features, hair to eyes, nose, to small mouth, clothes, lines, skirts, etc., all of them were beautiful, and she wanted to snatch the small wood carving in her sister's hand: "Yan, show me!" ”

Zhang Yan hid the small wood carving in his arms: "Don't give it, it's mine"

Zhang Ling didn't follow, ran over and pulled He Zhixing's arm and shook it: "Brother, I also want a wood carving" while saying Chu Chu's pitiful appearance with tears in his eyes. He Zhixing shook her so hard that she couldn't refuse: "Okay, it's too late today, will you be okay tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Ling was still unhappy and pouted, He Zhixing looked at her appearance and gently hooked her nose with his hand: "Brother can help you draw a picture of Chang'e Fairy hugging a rabbit?" Zhang Ling burst into tears and laughed and ran to the back room to help He Zhixing find paintbrushes and paper.

It took more than half an hour He Zhixing finally painted the picture of the fairy Chang'e holding the rabbit, although it is only a plain painting, from the idea of the overall pattern: the moon palace, pavilions, peonies, colorful clouds to the full moon and other scenery in one go, although not as good as the well-known painters, but also painted five or six points of this idea masterpiece, from the overall point of view of the painting, whether it is the beautiful fairy's clothes and costumes in the painting, the ribbons fluttering or the small mouth agar jade arms, the graceful form, and the eyes with aura or the delicate face, the small pavilion leans on the railing and ponders the posture of hugging the rabbit and appreciating the flowers, The beautiful peony flowers on the side of the pavilion and the wei fence all look beautiful and beautiful.

He Zhixing carefully held the completed small painting and handed it to Zhang Ling, who looked at it with love and spared no effort: "Brother, is the painting done?" "Well, it's beautiful, I like it"

Zhang Yan also leaned over and was envious: "Brother, can you tell me how you came up with the idea of drawing, I remember that you don't have such a material at home for your reference, how can you draw it?" ”

"Oh, that's right, I like to look at all kinds of paintings, although we have access to fewer paintings of all kinds in the countryside, do you remember? Every year during the Chinese New Year, I will go to see the couplets and New Year's paintings posted in front of every house, what door god paintings, what Zhang Sanguan Yu, Zhang Yun and all kinds of gods, heavenly generals, carp, dragon gate, fairy, fairy Wu Daozi or something, and there are also various Chanjuan moon cake boxes on the surface of the high-end moon cake box, I will write them down to copy them, and over time, I have one or two paintings of inspiration."

The two little girls listened intoxicated and yearned: "Wow, my brother is so powerful!" ”

After a while, Ling Yatou took his hand and said, "Brother, otherwise, while it's still early and it's not dark, go to my house to play and come back, I also have a lot of old calligraphy and painting skills or something, see if you can help my brother with your favorite interest."

"Wow, I'll go"

Two or three people held hands and ran to the grandfather in the side hall to say hello: "Grandpa, I'll go to Zhang Ling's house and come back soon."

Grandpa was chipping wood furniture, raised his head and glanced at them: "Oh, stay safe, come back early!" ”

"Okay"

Zhang Ling's family is a medium-sized family, his father is an engineering team driving a small truck, at that time the construction project can be said to be a very great character, usually his father always goes out to the sports car outside to pull salad, stone county district to pull cement, etc., when he went to her house his father just came back from the sports car, her mother is also at home, her mother did not do anything at home to do housework, do some farm work and grow vegetables or something.

He Zhixing called his uncle and aunt very politely, and after saying hello, he pulled the two sisters to the study to see the small world of their study house. There are quite a lot of books, newspapers and magazines in her family, what bosom friend magazine, youth digest, March red old newspaper, and various old books and magazines such as the former Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, some remnants of calligraphy and painting in handwritten books, etc., as well as his father's favorite martial arts books, etc.: Red Lantern Thief, Chu Liuxiang, Journey to the West, Three Kingdoms, Red Mansion, Water Margin, West Chamber, Jin Yong Gulong Liang Yusheng Wolongsheng and other works, at that time, most of the martial arts books had covers and illustrations, and the martial arts characters with those cover illustrations were He Zhixing's favorite, which became a reference for him to copy, Secondly, there are old books, manuscripts, and exquisite paintings of newspapers, which are all things that He Zhixing's little head wants to absorb, and he experiences a sentence: there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book.

The three of them get along happily with each other, and before leaving, they also borrowed a copy of "The Legend of the West Chamber" to go back, because there are a lot of ancient beauty illustrations in it, and on the way it seems to hear that her father's family will go to the county seat tomorrow, tomorrow last weekend, and I also heard that there is a city art troupe to go to the county cultural square to publicize the opening ceremony of the ancient Buddha Rock tourist attractions, which is the face project of the county, and asked if he Zhixing wants to go together? Hey, there's a lot of excitement he's definitely going to agree to go.

Early in the morning, He Zhixing was waiting at the door of Zhang Ling's house, and her mother happened to come back from buying breakfast outside and saw him: "Oh, it's Xiao He, come in, have you had breakfast?" Come in for breakfast"

He Zhixing was a little embarrassed, and said, "Auntie, I'm ...... Eat...... After eating...... "Actually, he was afraid that he would be late and hadn't eaten yet, Zhang Ling and her mother handed him two steamed buns: "Eat, I bought a lot"

The two little girls also got up very early, and they were happy to see He Zhixing coming, and after breakfast, they followed their family to the county seat by car, and got off directly at the Cultural Square. People come and go, the square is sparsely standing some people, the elderly and children are the majority, a query turned out to be after ten o'clock to start, his father drove away first, her mother wanted to take the two daughters to buy clothes and asked He Zhixing if he would go, He Zhixing said that he wanted to go to the bookstore, and then separated from the two ways to leave the agreement to meet here at half past nine.

He Zhixing went to the bookstore after separating from them, the purpose of his visit to the bookstore was to think of the bookstore to pan for gold, since he ate the thousand-year-old stalactite, his mind has a super memory, as long as he has seen it once or twice, it is deeply imprinted in his mind when he needs it, as long as he thinks about it, his head is like a slide to put out the things he has learned, he can go to the bookstore and accept a lot of things he likes about calligraphy, painting, carving, calligraphy and other artistic and cultural heritage, the bookstore has a quartz clock, he stayed in the bookstore until nine twenty and came out, Rushed to the square just to see Zhang Ling sisters and her parents back together, at this time the square is even more crowded, they entered the square, the stage has been set up, only to see some county party committee and county government workers one by one is in dire straits to move the table to the stage, it turned out that the county party secretary and county magistrate and other leaders want to speak on the temporary podium, the literary and artistic programs will not officially start until the main leaders of the county party committee have finished speaking.

When I came to the stage, I saw a big circle around the stage, what were many people doing outside the circle? He Zhixing saw that many people were buying something again, pointed and said, "Look, what are those?" ”

The father of the twin sisters relieved the siege and said: "Oh, at that time, the welfare lottery, the instant lottery ticket, if you buy it with good luck, you can win the jackpot" A few older children heard the interest: "Wow, you can win the jackpot if you buy it, go...... Check it out."

When she got closer, two girls pulled her mother: "Mom, we want to buy it too, I want to win the jackpot!" Her mother looked at his father.

Her father saw that they were so interested, and said to her mother, "Fang, buy a few for the children, it's okay, see if you can win the lottery"

bought a lottery ticket for ten yuan, He Zhixing also got one, they had good luck, Zhang Yan scratched open and won a ten yuan, and finally He Zhixing's also won one and another one, and they all made persistent efforts to change a few to continue to scratch the prize.

He Zhixing this one is to draw by himself, this time he didn't want to waste his eyesight, immediately reined in his mind and adjusted his luck on his eyes, simple perspective eyes moved, in order not to let the people around him find anything unusual, he pretended to grab a handful of picks inside, looked at a lot of no, and then turned to the beauty ticket box next to him to pick a handful, and finally found a surprise for him, there is a word in 100 in the anti-laser coating, he was secretly surprised: "Well, this is it" He grabbed the lottery ticket in his hand.

Slowly cut it, it really won a hundred, Zhang Yan and her two sisters had already cut it and didn't win the lottery, Zhang Yan probed and saw He Zhixing's win a hundred small prizes, took his hand and whispered: "Ah, my brother won!" ”

Immediately exchanged a hundred yuan, and his parents smiled and blessed him. A few older children had fun and bought another 30 yuan, each of them played with 10 yuan, and there was still 70 yuan left in his pocket.

He Zhixing's ten-yuan lottery ticket she ran to the conductor's sister next to her alone to draw, and finally drew a 20,000 yuan lottery ticket for him after most of the circle, he was silent, and the other few were drawn back to their sisters.
