Chapter 8 Emergencies
After checking the closed doors and windows according to custom, Shen Xing returned to the carving workbench and sat down, motionless, his eyes resting on Hong Bin's half-body wood carving, watching the spiritual antibody level under the corners of his eyes begin to improve again.
By the middle of the night, the antibody level had broken through to level 3.
In Shen Xing's mind, the degree of this antibody must have something to do with his spiritual strength, and the more the progress bar is filled, the better.
Because I kept staring at the wood carving, after persisting for a while, soon the sleepiness came again.
After sleeping until dawn, Shen Xing felt full of energy after getting up, the cold symptoms had completely disappeared, and the whole person's energy was obviously much more abundant than usual.
He guessed it was the change he had brought about by staring at the wood carving.
Grab your phone key and go out the door.
He didn't go to open a store for a day or two, and his small business couldn't last long.
The name of the wood carving shop is "Listening to Things", which was originally heard by Ye Ye, and her own name was added to it, with all kinds of wood carvings in the store, not to mention that the name of the store still has a bit of a feeling.
The address of the store is on Chunyu Street in the old town of Yungu City, and it is about a 20-minute walk from the Ivy League community where Shen Xing lives.
Chunyu Street is the closest street to the new city, and when the store was first opened, Ye Ting had considered that if the residents of the old and new towns could fully patronize the store, this location should be the most suitable.
The main thing is that the rent of the store is not too expensive, and now you can still live normally when you open a store, but it is impossible to make a lot of money.
When you get to the store, open the U-lock on the door, open the door to both sides, then approach the store, turn on the lights, wipe down the glass cabinet and wooden table with a wet rag, and then sweep the floor.
The amount of finished wood carvings in the store is not very large, but Shen Xing accepts orders from customers, and this kind of specially made wood carvings costs a little more, but it is also one of the main sources of his living expenses.
When he first arrived in this world, Shen Xing found that although there were anime, there was no Hokage, no One Piece, and no Marvel and DC. The wood carvings of the original owner of the body are mostly Buddha statues, flowers, birds, plants and trees, or natural scenery, and occasionally there are human figures, but they are not his main works.
So after Shen Xing arrived in this world, he began to try to slowly change the style of his works. But style is something that is often difficult to change once it is set.
Even though Shen Xing had a certain foundation in painting in his previous life, he could imitate the comic image in his mind to a great extent, but after carving it out, he always felt that something was missing.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is the reason why the form is similar but not the god, which is related to factors such as technique, experience, and understanding of the original work.
However, the wood carvings of these comic images have attracted the curiosity of some children, so they have given themselves an extra wave of young fans.
There are even a few junior high school students who will come to see if Shen Xing has any new works every once in a while.
Because considering the fullness of the work, Shen Xing added a beautiful folding card to each character, on which was an introduction to the character's relevant life background, plot, etc., and was ready to gradually launch a series.
In any case, even if you are in the wood carving business, you have to innovate, otherwise you may have closed down by now.
On this day, three wood carvings were sold, one Kakashi Hachiki, another Iron Man, and a snowy mountain landscape.
As long as the workmanship is exquisite, those little ones who can't afford to buy expensive figurines will always be tempted to buy this substitute. What's more, the figures in this world don't yet have characters from the Hokage and Marvel.
As for the wood carving of the snow-capped mountain scenery, as a home ornament, it is generally a family before people will buy it, and many of the customers who come in the store are mainly looking at it and curious, and there are very few people who really pay for it.
Yesterday, after absorbing the characteristics of the fake Hong Bin, the test of the change in the palm of the hand was interrupted by Fei Fei and has not yet been carried out.
After cleaning the shop, Shen Xing took a piece of waste wood that had piled up under the workbench in the store.
This is a piece of scrap iron wood that was originally scrapped, and it is taken from a very hard wood tree, and because of its hard texture, it is often used for military industry, construction and other parts.
This piece of waste wood also looks very heavy in the hand, far more than other wood.
Shen Xing was a little lucky, and he could feel the strange power rising in his hand, holding one end of Tie Limu, and slamming it hard.
His five fingers suddenly sank into the hard, sturdy waste wood.
"it!"
Let go of your clenched fingers, staring at the five deep-seated fingerprints that appeared on the surface of the ironwood.
"What the hell am I ...... Eagle claw gong, or iron sand palm?! Or did you become Popeye?! ”
He looked down at his hands in surprise, and could feel that after absorbing the characteristics of the fake Hong Bin, this strange power was only gathered on his hands, and other parts of his body did not have the fullness of this power.
Of course, after the luck, it is not without a price, and the slight soreness and weakness on the ten fingers should be caused by the lack of control of the strength just now.
It's like a weightlifter who suddenly bursts out during a competition, lifts a weight that he has never successfully challenged before, and suddenly faints after the game, or bleeding from his mouth and nose.
Putting the iron power wood with the five finger prints in his bag and preparing to take it home, Shen Xing felt that he could use it to test his strength in the future, and this thing should not be exposed to customers now.
At sunset, the day ends.
After closing the door of the store, Shen Xing also installed a half-palm-sized Buddha statue wood carving that was not completed in the store, and prepared to polish it after returning home.
With a small backpack in his hand, he walked back to the Ivy Community as usual.
When he came to the gate of the community, he looked stunned and saw two cars parked at the door with flashing police lights.
Someone was standing across the street, talking to each other, and from time to time he was pointing in the direction of the neighborhood.
Shen Xing frowned, walked into the door of the community, and then went upstairs from the stairs on the left.
There are no security guards in this old community, let alone property management, so there is a high chance of burglary by thieves, and maybe the head of the family may go out to work during the day and the house is burglarized.
Thinking about the possibility of a police car parked outside the gate, Shen Xing climbed the stairs.
When he was about to climb to the third floor, his eyes suddenly froze, and the whole person remained motionless in the posture of going upstairs.
In his eyes, a red eye stared directly at the staircase where he was.
The pupils of this eye were dilated, weak, and exuding a dead breath, but the upper and lower eyelids seemed to be stretched open by an invisible force.
It was a woman who had been dead for a long time, and her body was lying in the door of the room facing the staircase, the door was open, her face on the right side was pressed against the ground, one eye was pressed down, and she couldn't see clearly, while the other eye was facing the staircase on the third floor, as if she was examining everyone who came up from the staircase.
This scene made Shen Xing, who had just walked to this position, feel a creepy feeling.
He recognized it, the woman who died on the ground was Fei Fei's mother, Lin Wanru!
