Banxia came back, and that day was still a good day for Ginkgo biloba to get married. After several months, she finally returned to him.
It was the first time he had laughed so much since she left. At that time, he really didn't ask for anything. As long as she can come back safely, he is willing to do whatever he wants.
Banxia's return also brought him good news, his legs will still be able to stand up again one day, as before. He was happy, but not as happy as he had imagined. If he had known that he could stand up, he would have been so happy that he would have flown to the sky. However, now, Liu Dongshan seems much more indifferent.
Because in his heart, there is nothing more important than Li Banxia's safe return, and it is more worthy of his joy.
Or perhaps, because he has been injured in his leg for too long and has experienced too many disappointments, so when Li Banxia said that he could cure him, he did not have great joy and sorrow in his heart.
Before learning to carve, he was always easily upset, especially in the days when Banxia was away, he thought about these legs every day, and if he could stand up, he would be able to go to her.
When her legs couldn't move, and she was worried about her safety outside, the more chaotic her heart became. Even his mother said that he has been upset these days, and he cooks lotus heart tea for him every day, saying that he wants to lower the fire for him. However, after drinking bowl after bowl of lotus heart tea, his troubles became more and more prosperous over time.
Since I fell in love with carving. Every day, he carved out his thoughts and thoughts with a carving knife, and Liu Dongshan's heart slowly became calm. Gradually. Even his whole heart has become more and more peaceful.
He was moved. Li Banxia did all this for him, no matter what, he had to stand up as soon as possible, so that he could live up to her hard work for months, and not let his family worry about his affairs.
On the day Li Banxia came back, Liu Dongshan was overjoyed and carved out a {return picture} overnight, which took five days and handed him over to General Xiao.
It was carved on a very ordinary inkstone. But for two coins of silver, many families can afford it. Liu Dongshan usually practiced carving, mostly using wood, and also had a few inkstones, which were used when handing over tasks to Xiao Jiang. Although Xiao was able to give him a big pocket of those precious inkstones at a time, Liu Dongshan still felt that it was too stressful for him.
As soon as he carved the wrong knife, a few hundred taels of silver would be scrapped, and he didn't dare to lift the knife at all. Besides, he usually practiced carving, and he made it out of wood. Even on the stone on the tile on the bamboo, why waste it?
He also handed over dozens of works to Xiao Jiang before, Xiao Jiang was very strict, and his requirements for Liu Dongshan were even higher. He stipulated that Liu Dongshan should carve for no less than eight hours every day. In addition to eating and sleeping, the rest of the day is used for carving. In the beginning, he had to finish carving more than a dozen pieces of wood every day, and he had no rest until he finished carving. Ma saw her son tired like this. I don't know what happened to this child, but he doesn't listen to what he says. What's more, what else can he do besides carving?
Except for engraving. It is to weave baskets, Liu Dongshan will weave many baskets every day, and after learning carving, he feels that his whole hands are different. More flexible and more thoughtful. Sometimes, before I can think of it, this hand has already automatically woven what jumps into my mind. People in the village say that the basket woven by the Dongshan brothers of the Liu family is the most interesting and beautiful.
In the previous works, Xiao Jiang was dissatisfied with a lot, Liu Dongshan was smashed by his inkstone from time to time, and then saw him wave his big hand and asked him to get out of his way and carve another one.
In fact, Xiao Jiang is still very satisfied with Liu Dongshan's works, this kid has understanding and is willing to work hard, and his works are better and better every time. No matter how large the amount he arranges, he will complete it, and Xiao Jiang is still very satisfied with this.
Without this kind of awareness, how can he be the apprentice of Xiao Jiang?
Liu Dongshan's {return picture} made Xiao Jiang's eyes light up, but he was used to bluffing with a face, if he didn't scare and scare that kid, and threw him with an inkstone by the way, his old man would be uncomfortable.
It's so rare to have such a rabbit cub, let his old man be happy openly, how can he cheapen him? When others are old, the old people are always afraid of loneliness.
Liu Dongshan had already shrunk his body, thinking that he would have to be hit by the inkstone again this time, but who expected that Xiao would hold the inkstone twice this time, and actually put it back again.
"You're a good kid, a bit of a edification. Even if you pass the customs and give you a day off, I heard that your daughter-in-law is back, so accompany him well, and my old man will take a nap-"
General Xiao is gone, and Liu Dongshan is also glad that he escaped the catastrophe, but he didn't expect that the {return picture} would be taken away by General Xiao.
But as long as his work is seen, Xiao will return it to him, and this time, Xiao will take it and leave, and by the time Liu Dongshan reacts to "my picture-", this old man has already disappeared.
He walked, as he had come, without a trace, without a trace, without a sound. Liu Dongshan had to sigh, why did the master take away that picture?
Maybe I have to wait until next time and get it back from Master.
But Liu Dongshan didn't expect that Xiao Jiang would take his picture straight and go to the largest inkstone shop in town.
Attaboy! For two moments, Xiao Jiang stood outside the inkstone shop and said intentionally or unintentionally.
"Master, what about the picture I gave you last time, can you ......?"
"That's the picture, did you change the wine and drink?"
"What?!" Liu Dongshan was stunned, he was shocked that his picture was gone, he was thinking about the picture these days, thinking about how the master couldn't pay it back, but he didn't think that the picture was gone.
Furthermore, with Master's financial resources, do you still need to exchange his picture for wine and drink?
"That's the whole number—" Shaw pushed out his big hand.
"Five taels?"
Shaw shook his head.
"Five coins?" Liu Dongshan doesn't care about money, and he won't sell that picture no matter how high the price is. That's what he wants to keep and give to Banxia, and when he can tell her about it one day, he will give this picture to Banxia. He wants to leave the most satisfactory works to him.
General Xiao sighed, this kid is too arrogant.
"This number, five hundred taels, a full five hundred taels. The inkstone of two coins and silver was sold for five hundred taels at such a moment in your hand. Although it is not up to the standard of being a teacher, it can be regarded as a small achievement. In a little while, you will be able to go out of the mountain—"
Five hundred taels? Even Liu Dongshan was shocked by this number, and now he finally understood what the master had told him before, the wealth that a pair of hands could create in an instant.
It's just that no amount of silver can move Liu Dongshan's heart, and without that picture, he can't be happy even if he hears such a high price. I just feel that something is missing, and the whole person is sullen.
Carving another one, the mood is different, and many flashing thoughts may not be able to capture, after all, it is different. That work is irreplaceable, like the most beautiful treasure in my heart, which cannot be restored by re-carving.
"Apprentice, don't ask the master for the five hundred taels, I drank all the wine and drank it into my stomach."
Liu Dongshan smiled, with loss in his smile. This loss is not because of the silver, but only because of the picture.
Seeing so much silver, he was not moved, and he was still thinking about the picture, and he really did not accept the wrong thing about this apprentice. Xiao Jiang affirmed this apprentice a little more in his heart, took out the picture from his sleeve, and handed it to Liu Dongshan.
"Okay, take your baby back, my old man won't do such a thing that people love, don't let your kid hold a grudge against my old man when the time comes~~"
Xiao fell, a gust of wind passed, and the person disappeared again.
This old boy is really a dragon who can't see the end. After accepting Liu Dongshan's apprentice, Xiao didn't even realize it, and he had a lot more fun than before.
Liu Dongshan wanted to catch up, and thought of the picture in his hand, and at a glance, was it his {return map}?
It turns out that Master didn't exchange it for wine? Then why did Master do that? Liu Dongshan thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, but it doesn't matter, as long as the picture is back, it's fine.
Liu Dongshan held the picture, returned to the house, carefully put it away with a wooden box, and put it in the cabinet. When the time comes, it will be taken out.
Where did Liu Dongshan know the tentative meaning of Xiao Jiang?
He didn't know how much his performance had affected him today.
Originally, the master taught the apprentice, and he had to keep a hand more or less, so that the apprentice could be restrained and in case the apprentice harbored evil intentions. Although Xiao Jiang values Liu Dongshan, he has really seen too many despicable villains and too many sanctimonious hypocrites in his life, and he has long disbelieved in human nature.
He specially tested Liu Dongshan's behavior today, and when he learned that his inkstone diagram was sold for five hundred taels, he had no pride or showed an obsession with money, which shows that he is not a greedy person. Giving him the art of inkstone carving should not insult it. What he values more is his own picture, an inkstone carver, and that's what he wants. No matter when, you can't break the integrity and style of the inkstone carver.
When he said that he had swallowed five hundred taels alone and did not give him a single penny, he did not show a trace of anger and injustice, nor did he criticize him, the master, for half a sentence. From this, it can be seen that he is a person who respects his teachers. In the face of such a good apprentice, Xiao Jiangyan will be stingy, and he will not give him all his money?
Xiao Jiang thought of the {return picture} again——
Green mountains and green waters, white clouds flying sleeves, at the end of the verdant path, white clouds step on fragrant flowers. In the breeze, the dark fragrance blows, and the whole landscape is full of energy. The whole picture, there are horses and no people, the word return, between the green mountains and green waters, in the white clouds flying sleeves, at the end of the verdant path, among the fragrant flowers-
