Chen Mu brought back this set of lion dancers, and he also felt fresh and fun in his heart, after all, it was the first time to watch it so closely, which could be regarded as satisfying his childhood curiosity.

However, Sun Youlin quickly frowned, and Chen Mu was also a little nervous.

"Did you leave it for too long and break it? We'll have to find someone to fix it! ”

Sun Youlin shook his head: "It's not broken, it's very well maintained, but there are some suspicious things here......

Chen Mu took a closer look, but saw that a layer of the skeleton inside the lion's head had been hung up, and the knife edge was extremely fresh!

"This ...... Why do you scratch this? Chen Mu knew that this lion's head had been stored in a wooden box, and the outside of the box was dusty, and no one had touched it for a long time.

So this scratch can only be Lin Sheng's hand, no wonder he asked Chen Mu to wait outside for a while before letting Chen Mu go in to help, it turned out that he was going to do this.

Sun Youlin was also clear about the rules of this industry, and explained to Chen Mu: "Usually, there are marks engraved on the lion's head to prove the provenance, especially some dart games and martial arts halls, which will be marked with their unique marks......

"You mean, there should have been a mark here, but the Qi Ye scratched it off?"

Chen Mu was also a little surprised, because although Lin Sheng was also mixed in the rivers and lakes, he did not open industries such as martial arts halls and dart games, where could he talk about any unique imprints?

Sun Youlin also shook his head, the matter involved Lin Sheng, and he couldn't say anything.

Chen Mu pondered for a moment, but speculated: "Qi Ye said that this was collected by him in his early years, but he was afraid that he bought some stolen goods, and now that he has seen the light of day, he is afraid of being involved in a lawsuit, so he scraped it off......"

Chen Mu's speculation is also reasonable, but it is only based on his understanding of Lin Sheng at this stage.

Sun Youlin was also a little cautious: "No matter what the truth is, the owner of this awakening lion must be a great character......"

Chen Mu looked at the lion head again, although the lion head was more delicate and powerful than anything he had ever seen, and the charm was superior to other works, but he really couldn't see how good the master was.

"Where did you know that?"

Sun Youlin pointed to the horns of the lion's head and said to Chen Mu: "You see, although the horns of this lion's head are painted, they are indeed made of iron, not only that, the entire skeleton of the lion's head is iron!" ”

"Iron?" Chen Mu was also a little surprised, because if the lion head of the Southern Lion was an iron horn, it had only one purpose, and that was to use it for martial arts!

The lion king competition is an extremely grand folk prosperity in the Lingnan region, the lion dance in addition to the fighting style and demeanor and footwork, etc., there is also a highly competitive lion fight, in fact, the lion head of many southern lions is not quite like the lion head, but it is closer to the year beast, fierce and vicious.

The production process of the lion's head is very complicated, and there are many accessories on it, and the eyeballs, eyes, mouths and other parts can be moved, so as to show the lion's vivid demeanor, so if you want to dance the lion, you must first practice arm strength and footwork.

The ordinary lion head is heavy enough, not to mention the lion head with an iron skeleton, no wonder Sun Youlin concluded that the owner of this lion head is not simple!

Chen Mu also thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "Qi Ye was also used to playing when he was young, and he was never soft on strange things, I am afraid that he also bought this thing, no matter who the owner is, it has been so many years, and we should be fine with it." ”

"Besides, let's just use it for one day, and on that day, whether anyone comes to eat or drink will be two words, and there shouldn't be many people who see this thing......"

"Even if you see it, it doesn't matter, how many people can recognize it? After all, they couldn't look inside the lion's head...... If the former owner really recognized him, he invited him to drink with him, and returned it to him, and it was good to make friends. ”

Chen Mu said so, and Sun Youlin also nodded: "Maybe I'm too careful......"

Sun Youlin often walks in the rivers and lakes, and he has developed a suspicious character, although he says so, he is still a little uneasy in his heart.

Chen Mu didn't feel at ease, he just cared about another issue.

"I heard that festive things, usually have to dance red lions or yellow lions, generally can't be on black lions, our is a black lion, or is it used for martial arts, does it matter?"

Sun Youlin also temporarily let go of the uneasiness in his heart, and explained to Chen Mu: "That is the practice of ordinary people, according to the rules, the red lion and the yellow lion are indeed more suitable." ”

"But in some places like martial arts halls and dart games, the black lion still doesn't have too much to fear, because the black lion is powerful and domineering, and can show his spirit, and if he has something to do with martial arts, he has to use the black lion ......"

"Besides, there have been bloody cases in this house before......" Sun Youlin said this, and he also realized that he should not have said it, so he immediately stopped.

Chen Mu's face froze, but he soon laughed: "The black lion can suppress evil spirits, right?" ”

Seeing Chen Mu's expression, Sun Youlin was relieved and nodded, "Exactly." So even if it's a black lion, we don't have much taboo about using it. ”

Chen Mu finally made a decision: "Okay, then let's start, you have to teach me to succeed!" ”

Northern lions are usually a couple, one male and one female, teasing or playing with each other, but the southern lion is different.

The lion dance requires the cooperation of two people, one at the head and one at the end.

Of course, the person who dances the lion head has to test the technique, and the demeanor of a lion depends on the skill of the person dancing the head, but the lion walks around, spins and jumps, enters the hole and crosses the pile, etc., especially the pile, but tests the person with the lion's tail.

Because in order to complete these actions, it is all up to the lion-tailed person to lift the person in front of him, and the lion-tailed person must bow his waist, which is an extremely tiring and unpopular job.

Chen Mu is the young master, and Sun Youlin didn't want him to dance the lion's tail, but he couldn't do it, because the lion head couldn't master so many skills without years of practice.

Even if you learn the basic movements, you can't do it smoothly and move freely, you can't show the lion's realistic demeanor, you can only have its form and no god, after all, the lion dance is not smart, and the charm of the lion is not in place.

What's more, this is a lion fight, the skeleton and horns are made of iron, and the difficulty is even greater, although Chen Mu can learn these movements, there is no problem in copying them rigidly, but it is difficult to be brilliant.

As for the lion tail dance, he has brute strength, knows footwork by heart, and the lion head constantly instructs and orders to do things, and he can barely do it.

Sun Youlin said all the considerations, and Chen Mu also understood that he was not a showy person, so he would not care about these.

In the next few days, the two of them devoted themselves to intense and frequent practice, and Chen Mu was also half tired to death, but when he thought that he didn't need to go to Song Zhenshu for help, he was full of energy.

is in full swing of preparations, and the auspicious day of completion is gradually coming, and on this day, Li Gudong is finally back.

He said to Chen Mu: "The decoration inside has been completed, and the furniture is sent by Mr. Lin Shenglin, and some are sent by Mr. Xu, but I have returned them and let them be converted into cash, and I will buy them myself." ”

Chen Mu couldn't laugh or cry, he really couldn't talk to these people who were engaged in technology.

Xu Guanxi is just that, he has reached an agreement with Chen Mu and needs to be responsible for all expenses, but Lin Sheng is completely human.

Although he is Chen Mu's deed master, Chen Mu is unwilling to accept too many gifts and help from him, but Li Gudong blindly only wants to build a good-looking house, and even folds it into cash, Chen Mu can only smile bitterly.

It's a shame that Lin Sheng is not a calculating person, and he doesn't care about this little money, knowing that Chen Mu did not interfere in the construction work, and he knows Li Gudong's temper better, so he didn't mention it in front of Chen Mu.

Chen Mu had no choice but to nod: "Well, Mr. can do whatever he thinks is suitable, since it is handed over to Mr., I can trust it." ”

Li Gudong hates others interfering in his work the most, and a Buddhist employer like Chen Mu is his favorite because he is free about everything.

Although he is nominally an employer, in fact, Li Gudong has not offered any remuneration, it is completely for the sake of Prussian's face, free help, Chen Mu is dissatisfied, in Li Gudong's opinion, you have to endure it for your grandfather.

"The house is basically completed, you go in and take a look, it is considered acceptance, this is the rule, you can't save it."

Chen Mu also nodded, after all, he was going to live in it in the future, of course he had to watch it, and he had to take a serious look!

However, Chen Mu followed Li Gudong into the house, and it didn't take long for his eyes to moisten.

Because whether it is the layout or the furnishings inside, it is exactly the same as before the Chen family burned it!

Chen Mu burst into tears and asked Li Gudong, "Mr. has ever come to my house?" ”

Li Gudong's face was a little solemn: "You are just the nephew of the Chen family, this is not your home." ”

Chen Mu suddenly came to his senses and wiped a handful of tears: "Yes, yes, I was wrong for a while, and now it can't be regarded as my family." ”

Li Gudong shook his head and said: "Whether you believe it or not, I haven't been here before, but when I was building this house, I always felt that there was a breath in it, and it was not very pleasing to the eye ...... put anything, so I found Hebo and other old people, and asked about the previous layout and furnishings, and after it was completed, it was indeed pleasing to the eye

Li Gudong's remarks were also a little too mysterious, and he himself felt a little incredible, and continued to Chen Mu.

"Don't believe it, the house is not built casually, the old house can gradually cultivate spirituality, this ancestral house has been passed down for so many generations, and it also has its own soul and temperament......"

Although Li Gudong's meaning is tantamount to saying that the ancestral house of the Chen family has become refined, the explanation is not incredible.

Especially people like Chen Mu have special feelings for this house, and at this time, it is as if they are revisiting their old place, and they are excited in their hearts.

At the beginning, he had to set fire to the house, and in his heart it was a thousand and ten thousand reluctant, but now that Li Gudong unexpectedly built such a house, Chen Mu should feel extremely lucky.

"Thank you, sir, this house is really wonderful!" Chen Mu was also so excited that he couldn't express his gratitude.

Li Gudong is not close to people at work, and his temper is a little weird, but he is a very soft person in his heart, seeing Chen Mu's tears in his eyes, he knows that there must be a story in it, but he doesn't ask too much.

"Since you're familiar with it, take a walk around it yourself, tell me what's different, and I'll change it."

People like Li Gudong have to be scolded for a long time if a tile is uneven, and he is willing to make modifications, and Chen Mu is also warm in his heart.

"It's already good, it's really good......"

The most beautiful thing in the world is to recover it after it is lost, and Chen Mu has realized it.
