Chapter 32: Engraving

The old master picked up the jade pendant and stroked it with his hand.

Isn't this Li Beixiang's favorite jade pendant? Why is it here? Could it be that it has been dropped?

The old master was about to chase Li Beixiang with the jade pendant, but he stopped after taking two steps. He understood that it was not a drop here, but that he wanted to keep a memory.

The old master stroked the jade pendant, and the past couldn't help but come to mind.

"Are you the old master who taught me? I see why you are so old?

"Old stubborn, if you dare to sue my father in the future, be careful that I find someone to beat you. ”

"Old stubborn, what do you think of my writing? Is it good? What? You said I wrote it from a dog?"

"Old stubborn, I didn't write yesterday's homework, just do what you like, play the board casually, but you can't tell my father. ”

"Old stubborn, don't you teach me? Do you really not teach? Are you really willing to give up my innocent and lovely me?"

............

The past came to mind one by one, and the handsome young man grew up.

"This road is long and the mountains are high, the contradiction between Zongguo and General Li Duanjiang Li is getting more and more serious, is it a curse or a blessing for you to go to Beijing this time. ”

The old master took the jade pendant, put it in his arms, and walked towards the door with his hands behind his back.

"Alas, it's a curse rather than a blessing. The naughty little ghost back then has now become a handsome little Langjun, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that the big guy's affairs can involve you?"

The old master stood leaning against the door, stroking and sighing.

The old master shook his head, closed the door, and walked inside.

"I'll never see each other again!"

"Childe, I don't understand, why do you want to put your favorite jade pendant there?" Lao Chai followed behind Li Beixiang, scratching his head, and asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, just leave him a thought. Li Beixiang picked up the folding fan again and shook it gently.

"Leave a memory? Give it to him, son, the old master didn't go to the master to sue you, how can you give him a memory." ”

Lao Chai looked at the back of Li Beixiang's head, and couldn't understand the reason why Li Beixiang left the jade pendant.

"If you don't understand, I won't say it. Li Bei didn't look back.

"If you don't say it, I'm sure I don't understand, but if you say it, I don't understand?" Lao Chai pouted, muttering to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

Li Beixiang heard Lao Chai's self-talk, but Li Beixiang didn't refute, just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The mountains are high and the waters are long, who knows what will happen in the future. Li Beixiang suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked at the clouds in the sky.

"Well, that's my life. Li Beixiang laughed at himself.

"Let's go, go to the street and buy some small things, and go home. Pack up your things and leave tomorrow. Li Beixiang said softly.

"Oh," Lao Chai, who was following behind him, said absentmindedly.

In Lao Chai's opinion, Childe is what it is, well, moaning without illness, yes moaning without illness. It's just that I went to Beijing to participate in the selection of disciples, and I didn't go to die, and I couldn't come back, so I didn't need to be so melancholy? Really, if Lao Chai was put on Lao Chai and me, there would not be the slightest unpleasant thought. Do whatever you have to do, it's impossible for a living person to be suffocated by urine.

Lao Chai followed behind Li Beixiang and thought in his heart.

It's a pity, Lao Chai thought too simply, Li Beixiang and Li Duanjiang went to Beijing this time not as simple as just participating in the selection of disciples.

You must know that Zongguo became more and more jealous of Li Duanjiang, and Zongguo always thought that Li Duanjiang supported the army and respected himself, and one day he would rebel.

Zongguo is not at ease with Li Duanjiang, but there is nothing that can blackmail Li Duanjiang.

So someone suggested that Li Duanjiang's eldest son could come to Beijing to participate in the selection of disciples. If Li Duanjiang's eldest son does not come at that time, it will prove that Li Duanjiang has antipathy. If Li Duanjiang's eldest son comes, it would be better to directly control his eldest son and blackmail Li Duanjiang.

Why did you choose Li Donglai? Because Li Donglai is Li Duanjiang's eldest son, Li Duanjiang's career will only be inherited by Li Donglai in the future.

You must know that in the concept of the people of the Tianyang Sect, the eldest son is second only to the head of the family.

Isn't this a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone? It can test Li Duanjiang's loyalty and get a proton at the same time, so why not do it?

So someone suggested that Li Duanjiang was the most fond of his youngest son, and the two of them could come together.

When the time comes, he will directly control Li Duanjiang's two sons, and Li Duanjiang will not be allowed to be rubbed and flattened.

Some people in Zongguo also know about Li Duanjiang's wife, and it is also because of his wife's incident, so Li Duanjiang attaches great importance to his sons, and uses his sons to blackmail Li Duanjiang, how many days can Li Duanjiang jump?

............

Li Beixiang took Lao Chai around the street, and suddenly he was attracted by an old man who was over half a hundred years old sitting on the side of the street.

I saw that this old man was about fifty years old, wearing a shabby robe covered with patches. Gray hair, full of furrows.

It's just that a pair of eyes are very bright, as if these eyes should not be on an old man.

The calloused old man held a carving knife in his right hand and a piece of wood in his left hand.

The carving knife danced on the wood, and it didn't take long for a puppy to come to life.

The old man put the puppy on the ground in front of him, picked up a piece of wood again, and carved it.

"Interesting. Li Beixiang put away the folding fan, slapped it on his hand, and walked straight to the old man.

"I said, old man, how do you sell this wood carving?" Li Beixiang squatted in front of the old man, picked up the puppy he had carved just now, and asked the price.

"Five pennies of silver. ”

The old man didn't even lift his head, but was engrossed in what he was doing.

"Five coins of silver are not expensive. Li Beixiang put down the puppy and looked at the wood carving placed in front of the old man.

Birds, animals, squid, you name it, and there is a lot of color.

Li Bei glanced at these things and felt that there was no suitable one for him, so he asked again, "Can you carve people?"

"Sculptor?" the old man stopped what he was doing and raised his head to look at Li Beixiang.

"I can carve people, but I don't. The old man glanced at Li Beixiang casually, his tone was not good, and he lowered his head again to do the work in his hand.

"Why don't you carve it? I'll give you a lot of money. Li Beixiang took out a piece of silver, checked it on his mobile phone, and looked at the old man with a smile.

"There's no reason, it's just not carving. Those who do our business never carve people. It's the rule. The old man said in a firm tone.

"What kind of fart rule is this? And there is such a rule, why can't you carve people?" Li Beixiang grabbed the silver and asked curiously.

"Why can't you carve? That's a good question, because the carver's words are unknown. The old man still didn't look up.

"Unknown, why is it unknown?!" Li Beixiang had an attitude of breaking the casserole and asking to the end.

"How to say, for example, if I carve something in your image, then you will die. Do you understand?" the old man stopped what he was doing, looked at Li Beixiang, and patiently explained.

"Why haven't I heard of it? Li Beixiang looked disbelieving.

"It's okay, you carve one for me, carve it according to my appearance. I don't believe it yet, I don't know what it can be. Li Beixiang scoffed at this explanation and didn't believe it at all.

"This guest, I think you should be a rich and noble family, you have no reason to do this, this will cost your life. The old man persuaded.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid, if you carve it according to my image, then this ingot of silver is yours, a full ten taels of silver." Li Beixiang shook the silver in his hand in front of the old man's eyes, luring the old man.

"I really can't. ”

"It's okay, you carve it for me. ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, give me the carving, if the carving is beautiful, I will not only give you this ingot of silver, but I will also reward you with an additional prize. Li Bei continued to tempt.

The old man looked at the silver in Li Beixiang's hand, his eyes were confused, and after a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay, I'll carve, but I have to say it, if you encounter anything in the future, you can't trouble me." ”

"Well, I'm not going to bother you. ”

Li Beixiang threw the silver in front of the old man and rolled to the old man's feet.

The old man hurriedly picked up the silver, put it in his mouth and bit it, and a neat tooth mark appeared on the silver.

"Okay, I'll carve it for you now. The old man put what he was supposed to carve on the ground, picked up a piece of wood, and was about to carve.

At this time, Li Beixiang spoke, "Do you have any other wood here?"

"What do you mean?" The old man looked at Li Beixiang blankly, not knowing what Li Beixiang was talking about.

"I mean, apart from the kind of wood in your hand, are there any other woods, such as precious wood such as agarwood?!"

"What's the matter? Agarwood? Who would use this kind of wood to carve? Isn't this a loser?" the old man was confused, he had carved an object for so many years, and he had never seen anyone carve it from agarwood.

"Don't you have one?" Li Beixiang said as he looked at the old man.

"No, where do I have the money to buy agarwood? The old man said honestly.

"You don't, I do. ”

Li Beixiang took out a stack of silver tickets from his body, handed it to Lao Chai, and said, "You go and get some agarwood, my son will use it." ”

"Oh. ”

Lao Chai took the silver ticket from Li Bei's hand, and ran to the store selling precious wood in the city.

With Lao Chai's ability, it didn't take much time to go back and forth, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Lao Chai bought the agarwood back.

"The rest of the silver ticket is my reward for you, keep it. Li Beixiang took the agarwood from his hand, but did not take the remaining silver ticket.

"Come, use this, carve me a picture of me. Li Beixiang handed the agarwood to the old man and motioned to carve it with agarwood.

The old man looked at the agarwood, his hands trembling.

Such a precious wood, the old man is still the first time to use it, let alone use it before, and it is rare to even see it. And today, to carve with such precious wood, it is false to say that you are not excited.

The old man wiped his hand twice on his body, and took the agarwood from Li Bei's hand tremblingly.
