Lu Feng is very familiar with the place his mother said, when he was a child, he played with his friends in the village in the desolate place behind the village, and even for a while, it became a secret base and assembly point for his friends.

Of course, for Lu Feng, who has lived in this small mountain village for nearly twenty years, he is very familiar with every inch of land here, even if he climbs the winding mountain road behind the village and enters the vast mountains, Lu Feng can also return from it, but only if he does not encounter fierce beasts.

The distance of hundreds of meters is almost not a distance for Lu Feng, and soon after coming to the village, looking at the rows of courtyards built, Lu Feng secretly sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that he had only been out for more than two years, and the village had undergone earth-shaking changes, it used to be very desolate here, but now it has built courtyards, and from those courtyards, you can even hear someone shouting loudly, as well as the sound of hammers smashing on the big bluestone.

From the first one in the east, looking in from the open workshop gate, Lu Feng saw his father standing in the courtyard, his brows tightly locked, and his eyes firmly locked on a stone lion in front of him.

Lu Feng's father was not alarmed, and almost floated into the courtyard with the support of internal qi.

His gaze fell on the one-person high stone lion, at this time this stone lion except for the eyes, other places have been carved, from the appearance, this stone lion is lifelike, majestic appearance, vivid overall feeling let him can't help but admire in his heart, its carving skills are simply a must.

Slowly moving his gaze away from the big stone lion, Lu Feng's eyes slowly swept to the side, and he saw that there were dozens of stone statues that had been carved in this courtyard, including tigers, lions, wild wolves, cheetahs, and even two five-clawed golden dragons with fangs and claws, with a fierce aura.

A few minutes later, Lu Feng looked at his father holding a carving knife in his hand, but he hadn't carved the eyes of the big stone lion for a long time, and suddenly became curious, and asked, "Dad, why don't you do it?" There are only two eyes left, and if they are carved, isn't that the completion of this work? ”

At this time, Lu Zhenhai seemed to have just discovered Lu Feng's arrival, with a wry smile in his eyes, and sighed softly: "I spent a lot of effort carving this stone lion, and now this is the last step, and it is also the most important moment for the whole work to fail, I am not calm in my heart now, and there is no trace of inspiration in my mind, I don't want to carve these eyes." As the saying goes, the eye is the window to the soul, Komine, if the eye carving is broken, this work can be regarded as a defective product. ”

Lu Feng understands this truth, even if the entire big stone lion is carved very well, but if the eye carving is broken, it will not be able to play the emotion, momentum, and even the overall perfect effect of the stone lion that the carver originally wanted to express.

Lu Feng thought of an idiom: the finishing touch.

If the eyes carve that artistic conception, it can be regarded as a masterpiece.

Thinking of this, Lu Feng's eyes were firmly locked on the big stone lion, feeling its sturdy body, looking at its hair ripples as if it was running in the wind, and the sharp claws that one of its feet lifted up and exposed, Lu Feng suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

Raging Lion, Raging Lion.

Lions are extremely combative, and although there are animals that can hunt lions in the animal world, there are not many animals. It is a ferocious beast, and if you want to carve it to express the majesty it exudes, you have to shape its anger, its madness, and the wildness that exudes from its bones.

Man is not a lion, and there is no way to understand its inner world, but the majesty it usually shows can still be captured by people.

In my mind, it seems that a fierce lion is running in the vast field, crisscrossing the dense forest, and the prey dies tragically in its mouth, roaring wildly, as if breaking the sky.

Finally, in the roar of the sky, Lu Feng's thoughts finally stopped, his eyes showed a strange look, his figure moved in a flash, and his shot was as fast as lightning, almost leaving a hazy afterimage in the air, and suddenly, the carving knife in Lu Zhenhai's hand appeared in Lu Feng's hand.

"You ......"

Lu Zhenhai was slightly shocked, looked at his empty hands, and then looked at Lu Feng.

The finishing touch is clear, and the god comes to a stroke.

In Lu Feng's mind, in his heart, he was completely immersed in his imagination, the carving knife turned into a dazzling light, and the flowing movements suddenly flickered on the eyes of the big stone lion, and it took almost a few seconds for Lu Feng's movements to stop suddenly, and his eyes looked at the carved stone lion eyes.

Lu Zhenhai, who was standing beside him, was surprised to see that his son had carved the eyes of the big stone lion from his hand in front of him in such a short period of time.

Although it was only carved with a knife, Lu Zhenhai's eyes still showed a trace of shock, because the eyes of this stone carving carved by Lu Feng were full of countless emotions, and what was hidden under the seemingly gentle eyes was a trace of cruelty, arrogance in that rebellious atmosphere, full of wildness.

How can it be?

It's hard for even a master carver to do this, right?

If it was a big stone lion that had not carved its eyes before, it was a godless shell, then at this moment, this stone lion was so lifelike, so vivid, as if its whole body was full of a sense of vitality.

"Xiaofeng, how did you do it?" Lu Zhenhai asked in surprise.

Lu Feng was still immersed in the emotions he had just carved at this time, and when he heard his father's words, his body shook slightly, and then he withdrew from those emotions, and looked at the big stone lion in front of him again, Lu Feng's eyes were wide open, and he looked at this stone lion that seemed to have life in surprise.

Is this the eye you just carved?

You don't know how to carve? But where did that impulse come from? The ghost sent the eyes of the stone lion to carve out, and now it seems to be alive, and it exudes a deterrent power.

"I ...... I just thought about the lion's living habits, imagining the domineering spirit in its bones, the wildness it reveals, its madness, its arrogance, its uninhibitedness, and its wildness is difficult to retreat. So I started to do it unconsciously, but I didn't expect that there would be such an effect, Dad, I didn't destroy the beauty of this stone lion, right? Lu Feng asked a little nervously.

Lu Zhenhai clapped his hands and smiled: "Your finishing touch-like carving, where does it destroy the beauty of the stone lion, on the contrary, you almost give it life, since I started carving the stone lion, I have never carved such a perfect stone lion, it seems that in terms of carving, you really can't just practice carving skills, you also need to invest in feelings, imagine the character flowing in their bones." ”

Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but his father's evaluation of himself was too high! The reason why I did it myself and was able to carve it out was completely by mistake, and on the basis of investing in feelings, I carved a pair of lion eyes.

Lu Feng scratched his head and asked with a smile: "Dad, how much can you buy for carving this stone lion?" ”

Lu Zhenhai smiled bitterly: "Stone carvings like ours can't sell for much money, if the finished product is good, it may be able to sell for one or two thousand yuan each, if the finished product is poor, it will only be a few hundred yuan!" You know, carving a stone carving, it takes a lot of work and time, just like the stone lion I carved, it took me six days to carve it, and on its eyes, it was also delayed for a day. ”

Lu Feng nodded silently, and was about to speak, when he heard his father sigh again: "However, carving a stone lion is much more profitable than doing crop work facing the loess with his back to the sky every day, if I do a good job a month, I can carve about ten finished products, and the total price can reach six or seven thousand yuan, and if the carving is not smooth, I can only carve three or four pieces a month." Sometimes the income is less than 2,000 yuan. ”

Lu Feng opened his mouth and said: "Dad, I see that you carved stone lions are also very hard, I just told my mother when I came from home, you don't do this kind of thing, my son can make money now, and he can make a lot of money, you and my mother don't do anything in the future, follow me to Jiyang City to enjoy Qingfu, of course, if you are willing to stay here, in short, don't do this kind of dirty and tiring work!" ”

Lu Zhenhai shook his head and said with a serious face: "Xiaofeng, I understand your thoughts, and I also know that you have been a filial child since you were a child, but your mother and I have lived too long with the sunrise and sunset, if we suddenly do nothing, we will not get used to it, and we will even feel that we don't know what to do when we are alive!" Your dad got it, but don't worry about us! Learn medical skills from your master, and you will be able to treat a few more patients in the future! ”

Lu Feng nodded and smiled: "Dad, don't worry!" Your son will never be ashamed of you! By the way, my mom just called me here to call you for dinner, shall we go back? ”

Since the eyes of the big stone lion were carved out by Lu Feng, it was a great success, so he nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, since the meal is ready, let's go back to cook first, and if you are okay at the party, you can also come here with me to carve some stone carvings!" ”

Lu Feng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, I am almost blind to the carving technique, just now I felt like I was dreaming, so unreal, you asked me to carve stone carving, it is simply an insult to stone carving." Besides, when I came back this time, I also brought a lot of TCM medical books, if there is nothing at home, I will accompany you and my mother, take a good look at the TCM medical books, and enhance my knowledge base. ”

Lu Zhenhai just said it in passing, hearing his son's refusal, he didn't feel a trace of unhappiness, patted the dust on his body, and he took Lu Feng out of the small workshop and walked towards home.

"Xiao Feng! Over the years, your mother and I have paid off all the debts owed by the family by carving stone statues, and we still have a few rich money in our hands. It can even be said that the living standards of our whole village have been greatly improved, which is also due to the stone carving. A few days ago, the village chief also said that our village should unite with people, and the price of stone carving is too high, after all, every texture and detail on this stone carving has paid all of us for our hard work, and the efforts and harvests must be proportional! ”

Lu Feng smiled and said, "Dad, your internal qi cultivation is also very high, and you should be much faster than others in carving, right?" ”

When Lu Zhenhai heard Lu Feng's words, he quickly turned his head to look around, and found that there was no one around, so he glared at Lu Feng with an angry look and said in a low voice: "Don't mention the matter of internal qi outside." ”
