Chapter 121: The Art of Transfiguration
After the shouting, I saw a person slowly coming out of the woods, but it was the white man!
It turned out that when Liu Weifeng was playing with the bandits, he had already heard a person quietly following up, and he was not a master, nor was he an accomplice of those thieves, so he was quite curious, so he called out at this time.
Seeing that it was the white man, Liu Weifeng was even more surprised, seeing that his expression was melancholy and a little relieved, but he definitely felt that he was definitely not greedy for his own money, so he asked, "Where is Brother Tai?" ”
The white man arched his hand and said: "Engong, your great kindness cannot be repaid, I want to ...... I want to teach my disguise technique, and I hope that Engong will not be suspicious. ”
Liu Weifeng smiled: "Hey, I said, what's the point of worrying about trivial matters?" You're a very moral person. The art of disguise is what you rely on to walk the rivers and lakes, I won't learn it, and I don't need this look, hahaha. ”
The man said: "In my opinion, Engong is not a real barbarian. Then he was speechless for a long time, and Liu Weifeng couldn't laugh anymore. Suddenly, the man reached out and plucked the beard off his lips and chin! Then rub your face and peel your skin! Hair ......
Oh, my God! It's a woman in front of you! Liu Weifeng finally saw the legendary disguise technique. No wonder, no wonder he was so emotional, with a shrill roar when he took revenge, and a soft gesture, it turned out to be a woman. The woman was about forty years old, white and dignified, with a charm still there, and a little sadness between her eyebrows.
"...... you?" Liu Weifeng said: "I really didn't see it, brother...... Belch...... Sister-in-law? There is such a means. He could tell that she was a woman who had been married and had children.
"Engong, I have nothing to grow, please accept my reward, if you don't accept it, I will have a hard time in my life!" The woman resumed her voice, bowed sincerely, and almost knelt down.
"This ......" was suddenly asked by this kind, Liu Weifeng was unexpected, scratched his head and said, "Is it difficult to learn?" How long does it take? ”
"Half a month with good talent can be achieved."
"It's going to take so long? But where to learn, you can't always be on the road, right? ”
"I have prepared some things, at this time, but it is inevitable that passers-by will interfere here, why don't you find a wood, and study quietly for a few days? Don't worry, I brought dry food and water. ”
"Wouldn't it be good to go to the front market to stay in the store and learn slowly?"
"This ...... It's still far from the market, and I ......" the woman seemed worried.
"Okay, that's what you say." Although Liu Weifeng didn't know the reason, he was a little embarrassed to see her, for many years, he had long been used to sleeping in the open, so he agreed.
On the slope of a hill, surrounded by trees that shaded the sky and the sun, and the ground was spacious and flat, Liu Weifeng began to learn the art of disguise.
In the process of learning, Liu Weifeng found that this ancient disguise technique is very wise and wonderful, but with the help of gouache, gelatin, lipids and other things to carry out face-based plastic makeup, it can be regarded as the originator of modern makeup and plastic surgery. But not everyone can learn well, talent and art skills are also very important.
Liu Weifeng has a wide range of hobbies, has a foundation in art, and is a student of Western medicine, so he can understand the contour structure and makeup principles at a glance, and he can get started quickly. However, in the first ten days, it was difficult for him to grasp the thickness of the foundation, the modulation of the face mold material, and the local padding, etc., and the makeup after shaping looked rough and stiff, as if he had worn a human skin mask before.
After repeatedly practicing on the bronze mirror brought by the woman, after ten days, he mastered the tricks, and gradually became vivid, and even "created" skin at will, such as skin color, wrinkles, eyebrows, and beard. Liu Weifeng threw himself into it, striving for excellence, and forgot about time.
The dry food brought by the woman had already been eaten, and Liu Weifeng could just hunt some prey enough for the two of them to eat. The woman proposed to go home when Liu Weifeng was practicing on his own, and only came back in the evening, her eyes red from crying. Liu Weifeng asked, but she shook her head again and again, and only took out the prepared food for him to eat. Liu Weifeng only said that she was sad again because she mourned her deceased family, so she didn't ask any more.
After that, the woman would go back every two days and half a day in her spare time while the professor was away, but she became more and more reticent and only talked about disguise.
Unconsciously more than ten days later, the woman asked Liu Weifeng to try it on her face, and she changed her appearance into his. Liu Weifeng was surprised and delighted, it was relatively easy to be on other people's faces than on his face, but if he was easy to become his own appearance, he had to be careful in front of the mirror, but he only glanced at it, but the woman put the mirror away and asked him to do it by impression.
At first, he was very confused, because he had only looked in the mirror at the island's fresh water a few times over the years, and he was vague about his appearance, and only then did he see that the bronze mirror was a refreshing memory. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then moved his hand to the completely different face in front of him......
About an hour and a half, the "work" was announced! The woman took out the bronze mirror and slowly examined it, then looked at his true face, and finally nodded, and said, "Even if you are proficient in the art of disguise, you must be careful to distinguish it, and it is done." ”
Liu Weifeng looked at the smaller "self" in front of him, indeed, his work is very fine, the edges and corners of several key points on his face are clear, and the shaping is almost not affected by speech, and his efforts in the past few days have not been in vain, and he has mastered an art! He cleaned up and said goodbye to the woman, thanking her for her patience in teaching Yunyun.
"Where is Eungong going, and what are your plans?" The woman asked.
"Hey, don't keep calling me Engong Engong, my real name is Liu Weifeng, you can call me Brother Liu...... I'm going back to my hometown to build a house. Liu Weifeng said.
The woman looked at him in amazement, trying to say something, but she stopped talking twice, and at last she turned away and sighed.
Liu Weifeng didn't know why she was like this, and out of curiosity, she asked, "Sister-in-law, if you have something, you might as well say it directly, I can be busy with your duty." ”
The woman turned her face and looked at Liu Weifeng again, her eyes were grateful, and she was so gleeful that she burst into tears. She lowered her head again and said slowly: "Engong...... I have a reluctant request, I don't know?" ……”
"Sister-in-law, why is it so difficult? Tell me about it. Liu Weifeng asked again.
“…… The little woman's name is Ye Hongjuan, my husband and I are orphans, since I was a child, I worshiped under the Kunlun faction, I was a brother and sister, I was a childhood sweetheart, practiced martial arts together, lived together, and my brothers were on the Kunlun Mountain...... Life could have been carefree. ”
Ye Hongjuan paused, and then said: "Alas, as we grow up, feelings for each other gradually arise, and we secretly agree to stay together for life, but because of the strict rules, we dare not mention it to the master for many years. However, the forbearance was tormented, and it was not until eighteen years ago that I mentioned it to a few good senior brothers, thinking that I could get their support when I pleaded with the master next......"
That night, the two of them asked me to express their hearts, which was completely beyond my expectations, but I only had the Eastern Senior Brother in my heart, but I only had Senior Brother Dongfang in my heart, but I only had Senior Brother Brotherly affection for them, so I had to refuse. Who knew that the two of them were unwilling, and they pestered me for a few days, but my attitude was still resolute. At that time, they already knew that they had a love for me, and they had the same fate, and they drank together until they got drunk, and complained to each other about their bitterness, until they turned from love to hatred, and reported to the master that I and the senior brother Dongfang had made a private agreement for life, and did things that were unscrupulous. …… Master was furious and wanted to ruin my appearance and abolish my martial arts. But the two of them flatly denied it, insisting that although they had a love affair with their children, they were innocent and did not dare to ruin the reputation of the Kunlun faction! There were other brothers and sisters who knelt down to plead and persuade him, and the master was a little less angry. In fact, Master watched us grow up, how could he not know our character, and it was not good to take back all the words he said in public when he was angry, and only beat us to minor injuries, expelled us from the master's door, and never allowed to return to Kunlun......"
Ye Hongjuan couldn't help wiping her tears from her sleeves when she said this, and continued: "After bidding farewell to the teacher, we were exiled to the rivers and lakes, our martial arts were not high, we were young at that time, and we were in troubled times, and we suffered everywhere, but fortunately, I learned the art of disguise in Kunlun, and walked in disguise, all the way to the far southeast coast, simply settled down and married, and learned fishing and weaving with local villagers, and life gradually became stable. Later, we had two sons, the two of them were four years apart, and they were named Dongfang Kun and Dongfang Lun respectively because of their thoughts......
"However, God is cruel, which contributed to our hard-won happiness and was destroyed in an instant, and more than a month ago, the eldest son had just turned sixteen years old, and his body was like an adult, and he went out to sea to fish with my husband. He is really sensible and capable, he helped his father a lot in the first two days, but after the third day, there is no news of his grandfather...... "Ye Hongjuan has already cried into tears, and Liu Weifeng had to pat her shoulder to comfort her.
“…… When the bad news came, our heavens ...... Collapsed! After her mood stabilized a little, she said helplessly, "I want to take revenge, but the luck is uncertain, so I entrust my youngest son to the sister-in-law Wang, a neighbor in the village." In front of her, she told her son: 'Mother go and avenge your father and brother, if I can't come back, you will be the son of the king's mother's family, and honor them as if you were your own father.' The youngest son was also very sensible, nodded with tears in his eyes, and watched me leave, and at that moment, my heart was broken......"
"Engong helped me to take revenge, I wanted to pass on the disguised person to you and then take my youngest son to continue to live, no matter how difficult life is, mother and son depend on each other, so that I can raise him as an adult. But...... After I hurried back that day, I saw a group of villagers gathered at the door of the neighbor's sister-in-law's house, and her eldest brother was shouting loudly. I thought it was a quarrel with someone else, but I thought of going to persuade him, but when I got closer, I heard that he was scolding my son! My son was fostered in his home, and I couldn't show up in that situation, so I had to hide and listen, and after a little disguise, I got out of the crowd. Brother Wang scolded a lot of ugly words, and what made me most uncomfortable was to hear, 'You little bastard with a mother and no father, you are a broom star, you killed your father and your brother, not to mention, and also killed many people in our village to accompany the funeral, and killed your mother one after another, and actually planted it in my house, trying to kill me?' What fucking bad luck! …… To let you work is to go to bad luck, and you are not too young, do you let you eat white food? I didn't finish moving some wood for half a day, and you weren't allowed to eat tonight, what a waste of food.......'"
When Ye Hongjuan said this, tears fell like rain, and she continued: "Brother Wang is a carpenter in the village, and it is normal for my son to do some work, but I caught a glimpse of a large pile of wood at his door, some of which are almost half the size of a pile, but my son is only twelve years old, how can he have that strength?" When Brother Wang taught my son, he still had a thin wooden stick in his hand, and he beat him twice from time to time! Every time my son is beaten, it is like a blow to my heart, he actually has some martial arts, and he didn't fight back because he was sensible. I wanted to rush up and kill Brother Wang at that time, but considering that it was entrusted to him by myself because of my friendship for many years, I held back my tears. Fortunately, the other villagers discouraged the child from being too young to do heavy work, etc...... I saw that Brother Wang gradually lost his anger, so I felt a little more steady, thinking about waiting until the night to pick up my son, and thinking that the matter of promising Engong had not yet been completed, so I had to let my son continue to be patient, maybe it would help his growth, I went back every two days to check the situation, although Brother Wang still used the excuse to beat and scold, it was not too much. ”
"Now that Eun Gong has learned to change his appearance, I want to pick up my son later, but for my son, I can't stay in that village. But the world is so big, the world is chaotic, and there is no place for my mother and son. Eun Gong is a capable person, and you can know that you are a good person after many days of contact, so ...... I think...... I beg Eun Gong to take in our mother and son to serve you. Ye Hongjuan said this, kneeling on the ground.
Liu Weifeng was still immersed in her story, thinking about how to help them, she suddenly knelt on the ground, which really stunned him, and quickly helped her up. He understands that their orphans and widows have nowhere to live, and they have no relatives in troubled times, and it is normal to want to find a support for their children. He immediately agreed, which made Ye Hongjuan excited and wanted to kowtow again.
When Ye Hongjuan decided to go back to pick up the child, Liu Weifeng threw the copper wallet seized a few days ago to her, and said: "Sister-in-law, although the surname Wang is not a thing, it can be regarded as having sheltered the child for a while, and we repay the grievances with virtue, and we are embarrassed by this kind of person, which is equivalent to telling them that your son is not a broom star, but a fortune star, and it can also make the villagers think of you, hehe." ”
Ye Hongjuan bowed and said, "Thank you, master!" But no, I'll give him our house. She threw the burden to Liu Weifeng again and walked away with a light effort.
