The third round starts at three o'clock.

Because it was the last match of the Douhe Tournament, the third round was particularly focused, and the best auspicious time of the day was chosen as the start. There were more people watching the game around, and when it was dark and gloomy like yesterday, the venue was already bustling with people.

However, the only difference today is that none of the six nuclear carvers who should have been in the spotlight have appeared.

The contestants' sheds were empty, and the morning breeze blew, making it a little lonely.

Until the six nuclear carvers, as well as the two organizers and the Honjo Prefectural Ordinance, all appeared in the shed opposite, the six contestants did not appear. Everyone began to talk about it, and the outside of the arena became more and more noisy.

An entourage hurriedly entered and reported: "Lord Qiyu, the five nuclear carving technicians have left the inn before dawn, and the same is true of the girl from the Yin family. ”

The six nuclear carvers set off before dawn?

Shangguan Shixin said: "Wait a little longer, maybe the six nuclear carving technicians sympathized with each other yesterday and made an appointment to talk about nuclear weapons this morning." ”

Shangguan Shixin spoke, and now that the time for the game has not yet arrived, Luo Yuan had no choice but to give up, and after letting the entourage retreat, Luo Yuan glanced at Ah Si who was guarding the entrance in the distance, and then withdrew his gaze without a trace, and spoke to Shangguan Shixin with a smile.

Compared with Mu Yanghou, this young owner of the Shangguan family is really gentle to the extreme, and his words are like a spring breeze.

Finally, when there was still a quarter of an hour left before the hour, the six nuclear carvers were late.

The six of them appeared together.

It really made Shangguan Shixin right, as soon as the hour arrived this morning, the six nuclear carving technicians were in good spirits, but because Mu Yanghou spoke last night, they would be sent to the venue today, so they had to wander around the villa. Mu Yanghou got up late, and everyone was not easy to urge, so they came and went, so they simply got together to talk about the nucleus, and guessed what the topic would be today. Everyone spoke their own conjectures, the beautiful maids in the mountain village served delicious food, and a group of people with common hobbies talked so happily that they almost forgot the hour.

The six arrived late.

Now, I don't even have to wait for the participating shed, and I go straight to the entrance.

After seeing Mu Yanghou's pomp and circumstance yesterday, Luo Yuan naturally didn't dare to slack off today, and didn't take into account the scorching sun, but instead let Mu Yanghou's honor guard canopy come in handy, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he was derelict in his duties. So early in the morning, six new tables and chairs had been erected in the venue, the wooden chairs still had railings, covered with scarlet soft cushions, and there were six attendants holding huge umbrellas behind them, and six maidservants shaking fans. The food box on the table also has four layers, and the food inside is also full of color, flavor and flavor, and all aspects are considered by nuclear carving technicians.

The overall specifications are naturally not as good as Mu Yanghou's preparation last night, but this time, it is not bad, and in Gongcheng, it can be regarded as first-class treatment.

Many nuclear carving technicians who didn't enter the third round yesterday saw it, and their eyes were red. If I knew that there was such treatment, I would have worked harder yesterday to try to get into the second round and enjoy it. Now I can only look at others with my eyes, and I am really envious.

Six people sat down.

Luo Yuan was worried again, the nuclear carving technician who was participating in the competition was here, but the master had not yet arrived. Today is different from yesterday, but today is specially set for an auspicious time. Seeing that the hour was approaching, and another person hurriedly ran at the entrance, Luo Yuan fixed his eyes and saw that it was not the Lang Jun beside Mu Yanghou?

Yan Shen said: "Hou Ye will come over later, and the nuclear battle conference can start first." ”

When Yan Shen came over, Luo Yuan walked out to greet him, not far from the six nuclear carving technicians.

Yan Shen's words fell into Ah Yin's ears word for word.

She had a little impression that she saw a faceless Lang Jun in the villa this morning, dressed not like a servant and guard, at the age of thirty or forty, he had a bit of majesty, and his bearing looked like a noble man in Yongping.

Probably only a noble person can let Mu Yanghou receive him, right?

The sound of the gong shook the sky, pulling back Ah Yin's thoughts.

The final round of the nuclear tournament has officially begun!

A scroll with a seal attached to it was placed in a mahogany tray and presented to Rakuhara by a small boy. Luo Yuan said with a smile: "The young owner is also one of the organizers, the first two rounds are started by me, and the third round finale also asks the young owner to start." ”

Shangguan Shixin did not refuse, directly tore open the seal, opened the brocade bag again, and took out a scroll.

The arms are the same, and the scroll is swung away.

The huge word "Xia" was displayed in front of everyone.

The question of the third round has only one word - Xia.

When it comes to summer, nuclear carvers naturally think of lotus flowers. In the scorching summer, the pink lotus flowers are in full bloom, and there is the beautiful scenery of "the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun", and there are also the lakes and mountains of "looking at the mountains and receiving the water light, and relying on the lotus fragrance for ten miles on the railing". In summer, there is not only summer lotus, but for nuclear carving skills, lotus flowers are the easiest and most common to carve.

As soon as the question came out, the six nuclear carvers fell into deep thought.

It is not impossible to carve lotus flowers, but there is no doubt that the first thing that comes to mind of all nuclear carving technicians on the spot must be related to lotus flowers. If you want to win the championship, it is difficult to stand out from the carved lotus.

The first theme that Ah Yin thought of was also lotus flowers, and she even quickly constructed a picture of a lotus pond with lakes and mountains in her mind, with carp on the shore, lotus flowers in full bloom, and a corner of the pavilion, which was full of summer scenery.

Such a nuclear carving highlights the word Xia, and the most important thing is in the carving of lotus flowers and fish on the shore.

Nuclear carving is not like poetry, just a few words can depict a vivid picture. There are too many factors that limit the nuclear eagle. The pavilion is the same in all seasons and can show the vitality of summer, only the lotus flowers that bloom in the middle of summer, when they are still in full bloom, and the carp on the lake. The carp in spring, summer, autumn and winter are all the same, but the table is different, in winter, the snow is covered, the lake is frozen, and the fish can only stay at the bottom of the lake. In summer, carp often stick out half of their bodies on the surface of the lake, and their mouths are wide open, as if they also feel that summer is hot.

Ah Yin opened the wooden box and took out the carving equipment.

She knew that the first thing that everyone thought of must be to show Xia with lotus, but the scenery she had imagined was too beautiful, and it would be a pity if she didn't carve it. Such a summer scene, if every place can be carved carefully and perfectly, it can also be moving.

"The Yin family has started carving!"

"The first two times she was the last to use the knife, and the third time she was the first to use the knife. Could it be that she hid her strength in the first two times? ”

"I'm curious what she'll carve ......"

……

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and the other five nuclear carving technicians were also affected, and they couldn't help but look sideways. She still didn't use pen and paper, and the pen and paper on her desk were useless. Without hesitation, she used a file to peel the skin, and the knife was neat and crisp, without the slightest mud and water.

…… Such an adversary is truly frightening.

The five nuclear carving technicians had palpitations, and they didn't care about what Ah Yin carved, so they hurriedly returned to their senses and meditated.

In the third round, the seating arrangement was horizontal, and Liuliulang was the second to get the peach pit after Ah Yin in the second round, so it was considered the second place in the second round, and the final round was arranged by Ah Yin's side.

He had no clue, and after thinking about it, he still didn't come up with a good nuclear carving, and at a glance from the corner of his eye, a corner of the peach pit of a lotus gradually appeared.

Saturday Lang was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Ah Yin to carve the most common lotus flowers.

He didn't think about lotus before, but now that Ah Yin chose lotus, a picture of a beautiful woman picking lotus gradually appeared in his mind, and his eyes lit up immediately, and he didn't care about Ah Yin, so he picked up the pen and drew it on rice paper.

The third round was not short, from three quarters to sunset, a full five hours.

An hour later, Mu Yanghou arrived, still rushing in, everyone present stood up and saluted, and the six nuclear carving technicians who were fighting the core were no exception. Ah Yin was engrossed, but as soon as Mu Yanghou came, his train of thought was interrupted.

She looked at Mu Yanghou, a little in a daze for no reason.

Such a gentleman, who had hugged her so intimately in the carriage yesterday morning, sat on his lap, smelled his breath, and exchanged the most intimate fluids with him. Two small tongues lingered, making her face red and red. Although she felt ashamed, the feeling was unprecedentedly fresh, and there was even a moment when she was enjoying it, as if she was eating her favorite pastry.

is also such a Lang Jun, holding her hand last night, ten fingers intersecting, so gentle, so delicate.

But he is also such a Lang Jun, he hugs back and forth, covering the sky with one hand, and his identity is so high that he is like a cloud that cannot be picked up in the sky, so far away that he can only look up with his neck.

Xie Shaohuai's figure suddenly appeared in her eyes, which made Ah Yin take the lead.

The Xie family Xiaolang is just the son of the county order, and she has been able to survive for five years. What's more, it was Hou Ye, a noble person above 10,000 people under one person, and it was not as easy to control as Xiaolang of the Xie family.

"Hiss......" Xie Shaohuai gasped in pain, and glared at Luo Jiao beside him: "You're crazy!" He patted the bruises on his arms and gritted his teeth: "This is the venue!" There are nobles in front! Do you know the general situation? ”

Luo Jiao said: "Do you think I don't know where your eyes are?" Pay attention! I'm your wife! I'm by your side, and your eyes are glued to that fox! ”

"You're just vexatious!"

Last night, the person next to the pillow was full of dreams and kept shouting "Ah Yin", so annoyed that she kicked him awake. The two husbands and wives slept in separate rooms again. As soon as she saw Ah Yin today, she was angry in her heart. Originally, she should be the one who is in the limelight, with Gong Cao as her brother and her father-in-law as the city and county order, her every move should be concerned. But now, they have all become the cheap foxes! But she stood in the corner, and no one paid attention to her! Some people even see her and look at her severed finger!

The more Luo Jiao thought about it, the more angry she became, and she twisted Xie Shaohuai again.

Xie Shaohuai grinned in pain, and couldn't help but say, "Do you believe it or not, I divorced you!" ”

Luo Jiao's face was pale, if she hadn't taken into account the current occasion, she would have fought with Xie Shaohuai a long time ago. How dare he divorce her! She said angrily: "Do you think that if you divorce me, you can marry that fox!" Don't dream! As if thinking of something, she suddenly calmed down again, revealing an unfathomable smile: "She won't even be able to stay in Gongcheng soon." ”

Xie Shaohuai frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Luo Jiao became happy and said, "I'll just say a word, if you want to marry her, it's impossible in this life." ”.

After Mu Yanghou came, Ah Yin was divided several times.

My grandfather once said that you can't be distracted when carving the core, and if you are distracted, you can't integrate into the artistic conception of the nuclear carving, and you can't carve a good nuclear carving.

She tried to pull her thoughts back, but she couldn't get into the beauty of the lake and mountains. She put down the taper and closed her eyes in contemplation. My grandfather also said that when he carved the nuclear carving in his mind, he would have a sense of joy that would make him forget about it and immerse himself in the miniature world of the nuclear carving.

What does she enjoy most about the summer?

Looking around at the mountains and water, the beautiful scenery of the lotus fragrance on the railing? No, it's not. Boating on the pond, picking lotus smiles, is just a beautiful scenery, not her ardent summer, not the summer she understands the most.

Every summer when her grandfather was there, her grandfather would take her to the heights and see everything from afar.

One year, her grandfather took her to climb Cangshan Mountain, which had not yet begun to learn nuclear carving.

Grandfather held her and looked into the distance, it was early summer, the mountains and rivers depended on each other, there were green trees, there were drinking cattle, and there were children playing in the water. My grandfather said, "Ah Yin, this is the world of nuclear carving technicians. ”

At that time, she still couldn't understand it, but her grandfather's expression was particularly profound at that time.

Grandfather's expression was solemn and solemn, as if he had glimpsed the light of the gods, and the whole person shone brightly.

It was then that she began to want to learn the core of carving, and she also wanted the world.

She opened her eyes and suddenly said, "I still want a peach pit, a big peach pit." ”.

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the nuclear carving technicians looked at each other.

Want another peach pit?

The people watching the game were also shocked, and whispers suddenly rang out in the crowd. Luo Yuan frowned slightly, there are not no nuclear carving technicians who want peach pits in three rounds, but at this time, an hour has passed, and the Yin family still needs new peach pits?

Compared with everyone's doubts, Shangguan Shixin saw a different brilliance in her eyes.

He instructed: "Send a big nucleus to Miss Yin." ”

Immediately, a small servant responded, picked out the largest peach pit among the spare peach pits, and sent it to Ah Yin. Ah Yin thanked him, and at this time there was no one else or anything else in his eyes, so he picked up the nuclear carving instrument and began to carve.

The mountains and green trees, lakes and rivers, and the world have turned into a microcosm, all in the inch on the peach pit.

Liuliulang felt that Ah Yin was crazy, and there were only four hours left. This time was different from the first and second rounds, the nuclear carving was much more complicated, and even he himself couldn't grasp the five hours to be able to carve a perfect person to pick a nuclear carving.

If it weren't for the contestants who couldn't talk, Liuliulang wanted to tell Sù Ah Yin at this moment that if she finished carving the previous nuclear carving, maybe she would have a chance to win at the end of the fight, but if she didn't finish carving, she wouldn't even have a chance to participate in the judging!

Another hour and a half passed, and it was noon, and the sun was getting bigger and bigger.

In the previous hour and a half, Liuliulang thought that he had played well, and he had completed most of the beauty lotus picking, and then spent another hour carving the remaining half, and after perfecting the beauty's light shirt and wind-blown hair, he could carry out the final step of polishing and polishing.

He opened the food box and prepared to rest for half an hour before continuing to carve the core.

He drank tea and looked at Ah Yin.

This glance was immediately choked. Liuliulang coughed incessantly, and his eyes widened. An hour and a half ago, Ah Yin was just a big peach pit with smooth skin in his hand, but now he actually has mountains and rivers, lakes and rivers!

"Ahem."

It wasn't until someone coughed heavily and reminded Liulang that he suddenly realized that he was too surprised and poked his head over. Rao is no matter how thick-skinned he is, he also felt ashamed, so he hurriedly retracted it, used food and tea to divide it by two, and hurriedly carved his own nuclear carving.

But the shock in my heart is still there.

She carved mountains and rivers, these are a few things, not like lotus, not like people, need to be carefully crafted, no wonder she dared to abandon the original nuclear carving, it turned out to be such a plan.

Five hours have finally passed.

As the sun sets, the gong sounds again to signal the end.

In the third round, the one with the most peach pits wins, with six peach pits in each of the six nuclear carvers. If there is a tie, then add another peach pit and choose it by Shangguan Shixin. The six nuclear carvers left the table, starting with the earliest completed nuclear carvers.

Ah Yin was the last to finish.

The first jury has an advantage because there is no comparison. Those who pass three levels and cut six will enter the third round have some ability. The first nuclear carver carved a farmhouse pastoral, the old man hoeed the land on his back, sweating profusely, quite in line with the theme, but the touch was completed in a hurry, and the old man looked up at the sky The treatment was slightly rough.

The first nuclear carver got two peach pits.

The second nuclear carving technician took advantage of the cool nuclear carving, which was quite childlike and got three peach pits. The third nuclear carver also got three peach pits, and the fourth also got three.

At this time, there was a voice in the crowd.

"The nuclear carvers brought by the young owner are really picky, they are all four nuclear carvers, and the peach pit in their hands has not been touched. I heard that the people brought by Luo Gongcao are picky enough, but I didn't expect the Shangguan family to be even more picky. ”

"What is picky, the shortcomings of the four nuclear carvers in front of me have all said it, and it is understandable not to give peach pits."

"Ah, there it is! Given! ”

……

Everyone looked up, and a nuclear carver brought by the Shangguan family finally handed out the peach pit and gave it to Liuliulang. Immediately afterwards, the second nuclear carver also sent out the peach pit, only to hear the shaking of his head and chanting: "The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus is open to both sides of the face." I can't see it when I enter the pool, and I feel that someone is coming when I hear the song. Beauty, lotus leaves He Tiantian, is for a refreshing summer. ”

The sixth nuclear carver, Yuan Hong, felt that Liulang's nuclear carving beauty was beautiful, but it lacked a charm and did not give a peach pit.

Saturday Lang was overjoyed and finally took five peach pits.

The other four nuclear carving skills were very envious, and Liuliulang was one step closer to the leader.

Finally, it was Ah Yin's turn.

Green mountains, rivers and lakes, a good summer scenery, a rare atmosphere! And the subtleties are delicate, the scalpers who are immersed in drinking water, and the children who play in the water, all point to the topic. Almost at first sight, he conquered all the nuclear carvers.

A small nuclear sculpture makes people feel like swallowing mountains and rivers.

The six peach pits were neatly placed in front of Ah Yin.

Yuan Hong asked, "How did you come up with this nuclear eagle?" ”

Ah Yin smiled and said: "When I was a child, my grandfather once took me to climb high and look far away, at first I only felt that the scenery was beautiful, and then I felt that the scenery was like this, if I could stay on the peach pit, what a wonderful thing it would be?" It is precisely because she has practiced before, and her grandfather is extremely fond of mountain and river nuclear carving, and often teaches her, which allows her to quickly carve this nuclear carving in three hours. Although the details could be finely detailed, there was not much time, so she chose the simplest way to deal with it.

Yuan Hong praised: "It's really wonderful. ”

Between the words, Ah Yin is unabashedly appreciative.

Six walnuts, there is no need to announce it, everyone knows who the leader of this Hui Dou Nuclear Conference is. Just waiting for Luo Yuan to announce, suddenly a person dressed as an officer and soldier came quickly, and his voice was as loud as a bell.

"My lord, the thief who stole the question yesterday has been caught!"

As soon as these words came out, the six nuclear carvers all frowned, and one of them said, "Has the thief confessed?" ”

The man said: "The thief is cunning and knows how to disguise, but he is a person in the field." Come, bring the thief up. ”.

Shen Changtang sniffed the tea slowly and methodically, and said, "There was such a big event at the Dou Nuclear Conference, why didn't Luo Gongcao inform Ben Hou?" ”

Luo Yuan said: "The lower officials didn't dare to disturb the Hou Ye, and they originally wanted to report to the Hou Ye after they were stolen." ”

"Oh, stolen and captured?"

The officer and soldier said again: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, the stolen goods have been seized. ”

At this moment, two officers and soldiers outside the field escorted one person in, and everyone took a closer look and felt familiar. The officers and soldiers said again: "Repay the merits, the thief is here, and he is the servant Ah Si of Luofu." ”

Everyone finally remembered.

Ah Si Ah Si, isn't it the entourage responsible for guiding the way in the venue? Actually went to steal the question?

Whispers began in the crowd again.

"What's the use of him stealing questions?"

"He's not a nuclear carver......"

"Could it be that you sold it to a nuclear carver?"

As soon as the suspicion came out, everyone couldn't be quiet. In particular, the nuclear carving technicians who failed in the first two rounds shouted: "My lord, you must give us justice!" ”

Luo Yuan looked incredulous and said: "Day and night, it's hard to prevent thieves!" Ah Si, you have disappointed this official too much! He knelt down again and pleaded guilty to Shen Changtang, and said, "Master Hou, the thief is from our Luo family, and the lower officials are willing to ask for guilt, but the lower officials have not controlled the subordinates well. ”

It was also at this time that Ah Si cried violently: "Adult, it's all villains who are fascinated by ghosts for a while!" Instigated by the Yin clan! Adults are aware of it! ”

Three or two more officers and soldiers walked quickly, presenting brocade bags with both hands.

"My lord, I found this thing in the Yin family, which is the question of today's exam."

The six nuclear carvers looked at it, and it was really exactly the same, even the position of the seal was almost the same! For a while, most people's eyes on Ah Yin changed!
