Chapter 3 Wood Carving
After a few days of idleness, Ash felt that if she continued like this, her skills would deteriorate, so she found a clearing not far from the village and exercised herself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Pink Jingjing didn't quite understand why Ash did this, but she obediently accompanied Ash every day and chatted with her, although most of the time she was talking alone.
In addition to Nossisi, there are also many bold elves who follow and hide in the bushes near the clearing, for them who can't go out of the forest all year round, humans are rare animals, and they don't get tired of looking at it for a long time, not to mention that the appearance of the human is so pleasing to the eye, but the action is a little scary...
On this day, Nossi fanned his wings and came to the clearing, and carried out his routine provocation, before he stood up on the stone and posed, but saw that the human was not exercising today, but asking Pink Jingjing about something, he secretly approached and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.
"Dagger... Where is that kind of metal? ”
Pink Jingjing's little face was wrinkled, why was it so difficult to answer each of the questions raised by Ash?
Ash is not in a hurry, let Pink Jingjing think slowly.
"What are you going to do with the dagger?" Suddenly, a voice interjected, it was Nossi, and her eyes flashed with curiosity.
"Exercise." Gray Channel.
Powder Jingjing added, "Ash said that she is used to using daggers, and she has not had a dagger in her exercise these days, and she feels very uncomfortable, so she asked me if I know where to find materials to make daggers." ”
"Oh, I don't know where the metal stuff is, but if you want a dagger, there's probably one in the forest pool."
"Forest waterhole! How could I not have thought of it! Pink Jingjing was happy, and took Noxisi's hand and shook it up and down.
Pink crystal beckoned to the bushes and led the group of elves to the waterhole, while Nossisi stayed.
"You're not going?"
"Hmph, of course, I'm going to stay and watch you!"
Nossisi muttered, "Who knows what you, a human, will do while we're away." ”
This Nossisi always maintains an attitude of disbelief towards Ash, but she doesn't want to think about it, if Ash really has malicious intentions towards the elves, wouldn't it be easier for her to succeed with weapons?
However, Nossi didn't have this concept in his head at all, but happily offered the waterhole, and once again let us sigh that the elves had a simple heart.
The forest waterhole is not far from here, so Pink Crystal and a bunch of elves are back soon.
More than a dozen elves pulled the corner of the transparent net in their hands and brought back the daggers in the net.
It was an unpretentious ordinary dagger, and I don't know what metal it was made of, and it had sunk at the bottom of the lake for many years (according to Pink Jingjing), but it was not rusty, it was not corroded, only when the ash was held in the hand and the wrist waved, it emitted a sharp cold light!
A strand of hair was silently cut in two on the falling dagger, causing the watching elves to gasp.
Unlike the elves, Ash fell in love with the dagger at first sight.
For a killer, the most important thing about a weapon is not sharpness, but concealment.
There are no barbs on this dagger, no blood grooves, and the surface is extremely smooth, but it reminds Ash of Taoguang Yunyu, the overall weight is not too heavy, but it is not too light, but it makes her feel just right.
When she saw that the dagger was happy, she simply stood up, hitting, stabbing, picking, cutting, belting, and as her movements continued to accelerate, the whole person seemed to be flying, and in an instant she disappeared in front of the elf's eyes!
It's really a good dagger, and even when the wind breaks, there is no sense of condensation, and it is not ordinary.
The ash who paused, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
Once, her closest companion was the dagger that she had been using for seventeen years. The dagger was just a mortal thing bought for dozens of yuan on the street, but it accompanied her from birth to death for seventeen years, and the two sides had run in very thoroughly, and she was very familiar with every arc on the dagger. I thought that she would never find a dagger that could make her feel comfortable, but she didn't expect that a dagger that had been sunk in the lake for many years here would be extremely compatible with her.
She didn't believe in fate, but this dagger was so in line with her that after thinking about it, she said, "Let's call you seventeen." ”
It can be regarded as a commemoration of the dagger that has been with her for seventeen years.
"Ash... Are you going to keep it? Pink Crystal's wings trembled, slightly frightened.
Nossi was also very resistant to the prop with the sharp blade, and said, "Hmph, sure enough, humans are not good things. Even such a lethal thing was made. ”
Ash was in a good mood, the corners of her mouth actually outlined a shallow arc, a gust of wind blew, swept up a few strands of her forehead hair, it was a picturesque peerless beauty, but at this time it seemed to have a little more charm and became vivid.
Nocisi opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment.
All the elves were also immersed in Ash's shallow smile, and they were all intoxicated, until Ash asked aloud, and all the elves woke up like a dream, and suddenly flew away with red faces one by one.
Nossi was the closest, and the most affected, and when he came back to his senses, he blushed a little and could drip water.
Seeing him fly away in embarrassment, Fan Jingjing giggled and laughed non-stop, and couldn't help but kiss him on the gray face, and said in surprise, "You should really smile more, how beautiful you are!" "I don't know where I lost my fear just now.
Ash was noncommittal, instead considering how to equip the dagger with a scabbard.
It's just that the next day, there were a lot more elves who came to watch the gray.
"Do you want to carve something?" It was Sweet Honey, one of the goblins surrounding the ashes, who spoke.
His nectar elf is very small, with a sweet smell all over his body, and a baby-fat face, which looks so cute that people want to bite into it.
"Surely, or what else would she be doing with a dagger scratching around the wood?" The green one wears a beautiful costume woven from leaves, and it is the fairy of the trees and grass, Su Qingqing, who was born early, and always likes to pose like a big sister.
"What do you want to carve?" Nectar asked thoughtfully, holding her cheeks.
The elves began to discuss.
"I think it's going to be a pillow! I don't have a pillow to sleep at night, so I definitely don't sleep comfortably! ”
"Hee-hee, how can you carve a pillow at such a small size. I think I must have carved a kettle, and it is very troublesome to drink water every time. ”
"No, no, I think Da Da must want to carve a small flower, you see Da Da doesn't even have an ornament on his body."
Dada, this name, is the nickname given to Ash by the elves, and her height is even taller than the giants for the elves, and it is not an exaggeration to be called Da.
The elves, some sitting on Ash's shoulders, some resting on her black hair, some hanging from her collar, the sound of the discussion did not affect the concentration of Ash in the slightest.
Still unhurried, she slowly slashed the excess of the wood in her hand with her dagger.
At this time, she was so focused, as if she was holding her favorite thing.
The sunlight sprinkled through the leaves, and fell lightly on the gray body, adding countless stripes to her already blooming clothes.
But somehow, looking at such ashes, Nossi couldn't take his eyes off.
I just feel that everything around me has lost its sound, everything in the world has lost its color, and only that person and a dagger are still so vivid.
As the object in her hand slowly took shape, the elves also turned their gaze.
"It's a banana!"
"It's a boat!"
"It's the moon!"
Noxixi, who suddenly woke up from his daze, suddenly stood up, and said in a vicious voice, "Don't make any noise, isn't it just a scabbard?!" ”
"Huh?"
"Scabbard?"
The elves hurriedly leaned over to take a look, but saw that the two wood carvings had been turned over, shaped like bananas, but even more flattened, and the most important thing was that it was concave in the middle, just in the shape of a dagger!
Ash thrust Seventeen into the sheath and nodded in satisfaction.
The wood in this forest is soft, and it doesn't have much moisture, so it doesn't crack, so it's perfect for scabbards. The large transparent net called fish saliva that the elves used before turned into a high-viscosity slime after being roasted over fire, which was used to glue the two halves of the scabbard.
Pink Jingjing's small hand touched a smooth scabbard, and her big eyes were full of surprise.
The other elves also flew down, flying around the scabbard in a strange way.
"Ash, you're so good!" Pink Jingjing rubbed her gray face and said curiously, "You can actually make a scabbard?" ”
Ash blinked, but didn't answer.
I remember when she was four years old.
With a month's worth of begging, I bought a second-hand dagger. At that time, she was very happy, because with a dagger, it means that she has a weapon and a little ability to protect herself.
She was full of joy, she didn't want to be wronged by her beloved little dagger, and she didn't have the money to buy a scabbard anymore, so she walked through the dog hole every day, lying in the waste wood in the corner, and peeked at the carpenter's work.
It took another half a year, and she tried again and again, and went to steal wood again and again.
When the dagger is blunt, go and steal the whetstone, and then continue carving.
After being beaten all over her body and cut countless cuts in her little hands, she finally made the first complete scabbard.
Thousands of times of repetition, she can carve a wooden scabbard even with a dagger!
Then, when she was sold to an organization by human traffickers at the age of five, she learned a set of dagger kung fu from the instructor, only one dagger, but in her hands it can be turned into various tools for carving, all kinds of sharp weapons for killing!
Pink Jingjing suddenly felt a chill all over her body, and when she turned her head, she turned out to be gray with her eyes lowered, and her whole body exuded a terrifying aura that no one could approach.
"Ash? What happened to you? ”
Pink Jingjing worriedly pressed her forehead, causing Ash to wake up from the memories.
"It's fine."
"Really?"
"Hmm."
"Really, really?"
"Hmm.
"Really, really, really?"
"Hmm."
"Oh well, I believe you."
In a blink of an eye, the cold on the gray body dissipated, and the elves breathed a sigh of relief, and discussed the scabbard again.
These elves born from the essence of the natural world are extremely sensitive, and the slightest movement of the gray will affect them.
"Isn't it just a scabbard? Hey, human, I said what would you do besides the scabbard? ”
Nossisi suddenly cried out again. I don't know if it's to hide the embarrassment of seeing the gray just now, or if he's really dissatisfied with the human being, he always wants to find the human being.
"Nossisi! Why do you always like to target the ashes? ”
Pink Jingjing fanned her thin wings, pointed her little finger at Noxisi, and snorted, "Say, are you jealous that my gray ash can make a scabbard!" ”
"What... What the? ”
Nossisi's eyes widened, and he almost couldn't lift his chest in one breath.
"I... Will I be jealous? ”
"Jealous of a human?!"
"Hmph, it's just that we're very clever, and you don't know anything but that little bit of dark magic!" Su Qingqing also flew up, her thumb and index finger separated by a slit, indicating a little bit.
Seeing Noxi's feet stamped angrily, all the elves held their stomachs and laughed.
Ash didn't want to pay attention to Noxixi, but looking at Pink Jingjing, Su Qingqing and they defended themselves so much, somehow, their chests were pinched, and their hearts beat faster a little.
Subconsciously, she picked up another piece of wooden branch, held Seventeen, and quickly flew on the branch.
Soon, to the amazement of the elves, a vivid wood carving Nossey appeared in Ash's hands.
This Nossey has his hands on his hips, and he has a proud look, except for the texture of wood, he is himself!
Pink Jingjing screamed, rushed over and took a sip at the ash bar, and then looked at her adoringly, excitedly, "Ash ash, me, me!" ”
"Carved one for me, I'm going to make a statue in the house!"
Without her urging, a smiling Pink Crystal appeared in Ash's hand, Pink Crystal held the statue that was the size of her, screaming, flying everywhere, and her little face was full of excitement!
After a short silence, the elves rushed up, staring at Ash with adoring eyes, blinking, silently begging Ash to help him make a statue.
The hands were so tired that they cramped, but their hearts flew like never before.
For the first time, Ash didn't feel tired from exertion.
The feeling that overflowed her entire chest, which made her want to curl the corners of her mouth, seemed to be called happiness in her memory!
Yes, it was similar to the feeling of eating ice cream for the first time when she was three years old, but it was slightly different. It seems that this time the feeling is even stronger, so that until the night, she entered the sleep with a hint of a smile.
The small elf village has now been transformed by the gray wood carvings.
The elves who don't have their own houses are looking for materials to make their houses, just to find a place to place their wood carvings.
The elves who have houses are complacent in the face of countless envious glances.
They are clever enough to use strawberries and red juice with fish saliva to make red pigments, and they know how to mix rotten grass into green, and yellow flowers and ripe lemons to make bright yellow, which are used to make paints and add branches and leaves to their houses.
The pink crystal room is the most gorgeous, with a pair of pink wood carved wings on the roof, large pink wood carving flowers on the walls outside, and a life-size statue of her inside.
She makes all kinds of petal clothes out of all kinds of small flowers, and changes her other self into a cute costume every day!
