Chapter 33 Not Hard-hearted
"It's a little ugly." Chen Zheng also had to admit it.
The piece of wood is not very good, and the table top part has just a scar of a piece of wood.
There are some irregular rings around two or three spots, the spots are slightly darker in color, and they look grotesque, like ghostly faces.
Chen Zheng stared at these ghost-faced scars, thought for a while, and suddenly grinned.
Li Shuang was a little strange and asked, "Brother Chen, what are you laughing at?" ”
"Wonderful, really wonderful!" Chen Zheng praised.
Li Shuang felt more and more that something was wrong, and hurriedly comforted: "Brother Chen, this table is ugly, and it won't affect its use anyway, so don't take it to heart." ”
Chen Zheng shook his head and asked rhetorically, "Brother Li, do you know about the pigs?" ”
Li Shuang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I grew up in the yamen since I was a child, of course I know about the pigs!" ”
Chen Zheng is right when he thinks about it, this hedgehog is an ancient divine beast, as big as a cow, shaped like a unicorn, understands human nature, knows good and evil, distinguishes loyalty and treachery, symbolizes righteousness and light, peace and justice, and almost all yamen have statues or portraits of hedgehogs.
Li Shuang grew up in Yamen since he was a child, so he naturally sees this pig every day.
"Look at these speckled lines, do they look like a majestic pig?" Chen Zheng pointed to the table and said.
Li Shuang looked down again, looked at it for a long time, and didn't see the appearance of the pig, so he had to shake his head helplessly.
Chen Zheng was speechless, and he really couldn't communicate with this kind of person who didn't understand art.
Finding a sharp chisel, Chen Zheng began to chisel along the spotted lines on the tabletop.
At first, Li Shuang was confused, but as it progressed little by little, the appearance of a fierce monster gradually appeared on the table.
He was covered in thick animal hair, his eyes were bright and bright, and he had a single horn on his forehead, as if he was about to burst out of the table.
After the carving was completed, Chen Zheng straightened up, looked at it, was quite satisfied, and found ink to blacken the eyes of the pig, which is called the finishing touch!
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the production of a delicate chuck and tenon head table, woodworking experience +464!"
The system's prompt sounded in his head, and Chen Zheng knew that this table case was completed.
Exquisite chuck and tenon head table: durability +12, deterrence +11, confession +13.
Chen Zheng looked at the attributes of the table, quite satisfied, the two attributes of deterrence and confession should be the effectiveness of the generation of the pig diagram on the later carving, and durability is a practical attribute.
Li Shuang called out for tolerance and moved the table case to the prison together.
The smell in the prison was not very good, and Li Shuang, a son-in-law, couldn't stand it, so he pulled Chen Zheng and wanted to leave.
At this moment, the county commander Li Gang came to the cell, saw the two of them at a glance, his face was a little unhappy, and asked, "The cell is heavy, what are you two doing here?" ”
"Dad, didn't you ask Brother Chen to make a table case for the cell? Brother Chen was afraid of delaying things, so he hurriedly sent it over. Li Shuang explained.
Li Gang raised his eyebrows, a little unconvinced, and said, "It's only been such a short time, and it's done?" ”
Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "This is just a simple table case, nothing difficult." Adults can take a look and see if they are satisfied. ”
Li Gang actually has no interest in a bookcase, but listening to Chen Zheng's tone, he is a little dissatisfied, he doesn't know modesty at a young age, if he can find out a little flaw, he will definitely use this to educate him.
With his hands behind his back, he walked slowly to the table and leaned over to take a look!
Oh, my God!
Li Gang was taken aback by the pig carved on the table, but fortunately, he usually saw more, so he didn't lose his temper too much, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.
After settling down, Li Gang went to look at the table again, and gradually, he was attracted by this table.
After looking around three times, Li Gang looked at Chen Zheng again and asked, "You really did this case?" ”
"Naturally, I did it below, and Brother Li can testify." Chen Zheng said with a smile.
Li Shuang stood up, patted his chest and promised, "Yes, I watched Brother Chen do it with my own eyes on the side." ”
Li Gang nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "This Master Xiao Chen is young, but his craftsmanship is so skillful, I admire it!" Admire! ”
"Your Excellency praised it." Chen Zheng said modestly.
"Let me out!"
Suddenly there was a shouting from the cell, and the jailer hurried over, and after a while of scolding, the voice was much quieter.
The jailer returned to Li Gang and reported: "Go back to your lordship, it's that Xu Tian who is scolding." ”
Li Gang sank his face and snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the implementation of leniency and light punishment in the past two years, this county would definitely be punished!" ”
Chen Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Then Xu Tian shouted and shouted, indicating that his mind is in chaos, so it is better for adults to take this opportunity to try him for a trial, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." ”
Li Gang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, come on, bring Xu Tian over, this county will interrogate him!" ”
After a while, Xu Tian was dragged over by the jailer, thrown aside, and happened to lie on the table that Chen Zheng was doing.
Only then did Chen Zheng understand that this table case was used for this purpose, and the previous one may have been crushed in this way.
The interrogation of the prisoners did not go to the county hall and interrogate in front of the people, as Chen Zheng knew.
Bandits like this, or criminals of the most heinous nature, are usually interrogated in prisons.
After all, the shackles on the body are too heavy to stand for long, and if you simply kneel on the ground, you can't last long, so getting a table case and letting the prisoners hold on to it is also a manifestation of humanity.
Li Gang sat opposite Xu Tian, and Chen Zheng and Li Shuang stood aside.
Syllable!
Shocked, Li Gang solemnly shouted: "Bold Xu Tian, what do the Happy Horse Mountain bandits have to do with you?" Recruit from the truth! ”
Xu Tian didn't care, he didn't look at Li Gang at all, he shook from side to side, and simply drooped his head to play tricks.
It's just that when he lowered his head, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes on the table staring at him!
Xu Tian, who was originally kneeling in front of the table, instantly leaned back and kept himself away from the table.
"This county asks you!" Li Gang shouted again.
Xu Tian was already in a cold sweat at this time, looked at Li Gang, and then looked at the table, and finally realized that it was just the eyes of the monster carved on the table.
Xu Tian tried to move his body, but he was desperate to find that no matter which direction he moved, the monster's eyes were always staring at him, as if it was about to burst out of the table and eat him!
Xu Tian was a little devastated by the monster's staring!
"Xu Tian, do you want to recruit or not!" Li Gang was angry and shouted twice, but he ignored it, this was forcing him to torture!
"I'll recruit! I'm all recruited! Xu Tian suddenly shouted.
Li Gang was stunned for a moment, he was just about to prepare for torture, and you were about to recruit?
You just can't hold on a little longer? It's not hard at all!
