Chapter 10 Engraving
Zhou Hao listened to their words, but an idea directly appeared in his heart.
The day's classes ended quickly, and Zhou Hao also returned to his community.
But instead of going straight in, he came to a place with a lot of dry trees. Zhou Hao's eyes swept over, he chose one, and then took down the fork of a thick branch.
"This size should make a small wooden carving. Zhou Hao showed a smile on his face.
Although he has no merits, he has one skill, and that is carving.
In the past, when he was in the countryside, Zhou Hao's grandfather was a carving enthusiast, and Zhou Hao's favorite thing to do when he was a child was to squat in front of his grandfather and watch with relish the figures on the branches.
Even if he moved to Wushi, during many long vacations, Zhou Hao would go back with his parents to see the old man.
This habit continued until two years ago.
......
"Xiao Hao, Xiao Yue, you see, this is the two of you, every year in the future, grandpa will carve a wood carving for you, okay?", in front of a slightly dilapidated house, an old man with gray hair sat on a bench, and there was a child on his legs.
"Yes, yes. The little boy immediately cheered, and the little girl also babbled and clapped her palms happily.
The old man looked at the two children, smiling happily, and his eyes were full of kindness.
The old and the young and the dilapidated houses form a bizarre and warm picture.
......
"Whew. Zhou Hao restrained the emotions in his heart and returned home directly.
He went to his room, then took out a box, opened it, and there were ten knives inside, with some differences in style and width.
Wood carving requires many knives such as round knives, oblique knives, flat knives, medium steel knives, and triangular knives. This was left to him by Zhou Hao's grandfather.
Zhou Hao directly took out a stalk, and then quickly processed the tree branch, and then began to carve it.
To do wood carving, the selection of materials is very important, each wood has its own unique use, different wood carving materials to make the carving artwork also has its own different value. However, it is difficult to find good materials, and general materials can actually be used, with Zhou Hao's eyes, this tree branch is very suitable for wood carving.
"Over the course of a week, my body absorbed a lot of strange points of light, and my control became much stronger. Zhou Hao carved, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
It's been a week since he got the red spar, every day he's absorbing those strange points of light, feeling his body getting stronger and stronger, he hasn't done wood carving for a while, but now he finds that his senses are extremely acute, and he can control the subtleties of this tree branch almost perfectly.
Different types of knives were used, and the branches of the tree became smaller and smaller, and the last figure gradually appeared.
If you look closely, you can see that this wood carving is a bit similar to Zhang Yi.
After eating, Zhou Hao continued to carve. Debris continues to fall, and the shape of the wood carving continues to take shape.
"Success!", finally, Zhou Hao stopped his movements.
"It used to take a long time to carve a wood carving, at least a few days, but now it's only two hours to complete. Zhou Hao looked at the figure in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"This should be related to the strange light points I absorbed, my body, my own senses, consciousness, etc., have been improved, and for wood carving, self-control is very important. Zhou Hao said silently in his heart.
He wiped the knife he was using, carefully put it away, and put the wood carving in the drawer.
Then, Zhou Hao sat cross-legged on the bed and began to absorb the strange points of light, and in a week's time, he had now absorbed the points of light for nearly forty minutes.
After absorbing the light spot, Zhou Hao took out the comprehensive test paper and began to do it.
Now because of the lack of knowledge points he has mastered, he does not know how to solve the questions in many parts of the comprehensive test paper, but for the places he has mastered, his problem-solving speed and reasoning are extremely fast, and he can complete a comprehensive test paper in less than an hour and a half.
"228 points. Zhou Hao looked at the score he had changed and smiled slightly.
"At this rate of progress, I should be able to improve a little in the monthly exam in three days. ”
Subsequently, Zhou Hao began to correct the mistakes.
......
The busy life continues, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, three days have passed, and Friday is the first day of the March exam of Wushi No. 1 High School.
In the morning, Zhou Hao stayed at home, always looking at the books in his hand, this monthly exam, in strict accordance with the college entrance examination time, started at nine o'clock in the morning.
"Mom, I'm going to the exam. At 8:20, Zhou Hao left the house.
"Xiao Hao, check the test paper after doing it. Wang Lan admonished.
Zhou Hao's parents also knew that when they took the monthly exam, Wang Lan asked for leave to stay at home.
On the first day, Chinese and Mathematics were examined, and on the second day, the two days passed in a flash.
In the past two days, Zhou Hao has not disrupted his review plan, and the knowledge in the books of various disciplines has gradually deepened.
Sunday morning was naturally a day of rest, but Zhou Hao still woke up very early, and after he absorbed the strange light point, he began to review.
In the morning, Zhou Jiadong and Wang Lan both went out, and he was the only one in the whole family, and when it was nine o'clock, Zhou Hao stopped reviewing.
He opened the drawer and took out the wood carving in his hand, and there was a hint of anticipation on his face.
"I don't know what Zhang Yi will look like when she sees this wood carving?", Zhou Hao walked out of his house.
......
It's nearly March, the sun is warm, a gust of wind is blowing, but it is still mixed with a hint of coolness, the car horn sounds from time to time, and the world is still developing in the usual trajectory, and it has not changed.
It's just that most people don't know whether this trajectory has inadvertently shifted.
Zhou Hao walked silently, looking around.
"It's here. Zhou Hao looked at a community in the distance and smiled slightly, which was where Zhang Yi lived.
Zhou Hao continued to walk forward, and suddenly, he stopped his steps and looked at a place.
There, a man and a woman stood, and the boy held a small jade carving in the shape of a rabbit.
Zhang Yi happens to be a rabbit.
In the picture, Zhang Yi took the jade carving with a smile on her face and a little red, and put it directly on her neck.
Zhou Hao knows this boy, that is Wu Wenjun in the key class of science, his grades are enough to enter the top 50 in the third year of high school, his family background is also superior, in addition, his physical fitness is also very good, he once won the third place in the 400-meter running in the municipal games, and his appearance is also very handsome.
In comparison, Zhou Hao seems to be much more ordinary.
"I have often seen Wu Wenjun and Zhang Yi in contact with each other a few times before, so it seems that they should like each other. Zhou Hao said silently in his heart, and the wood carving in his hand was shaken, and he put it in his pocket.
"Zhou Hao. In the distance, Zhang Yi and Wu Wenjun held hands, ready to walk, Zhang Yi suddenly saw Zhou Hao, and his face changed slightly.
"Zhang Yi, this is a classmate in your class, right?", Wu Wenjun asked with a smile.
Zhou Hao sat behind Zhang Yi, and Wu Wenjun had seen him, so he was naturally familiar with him.
"Hmm. Zhang Yi nodded, then looked at Zhou Hao, and said, "Zhou Hao, why are you here?"
"After the monthly exam, I went out for a stroll and came here by accident. Zhou Hao smiled.
