Chapter 293: Master of Disguise
Wan Tieyong doesn't care if the other party is applying makeup to the dead? He himself is a bandit who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and he will not have the slightest taboo with his head in his hands, but now he is just smearing something on his face, a piece of cake.
"Don't you have the ability to say this earlier? It's just to put makeup on the dead, can Lao Tzu be afraid of this? Wan Tieyong sneered.
There are many rules for the group of people at the bottom of the mountain, if there is no craftsman who applies makeup to the dead, wouldn't those corpses look very disgusting when they are buried?
Yan Ruyu also wanted to see this ability, so soon, the old man was called over.
Liangbo said that this craft does not make much money, just to make ends meet, and after the old man's three sons each married wives, there were conflicts in the family.
No one was willing to provide for him, and he felt unlucky, and because of filial piety, he could only endure it.
But one year one of the old man's grandsons died, and as soon as this happened, the original balance could not be maintained, and the daughter-in-law there almost had to fight with him, and in a fit of shame, he moved out of the village, and in order to earn a living, he went up the mountain and never contacted his family again.
The old man was actually less than sixty, but his waist bones were already like wheat stalks knocked over by the wind and rain, and his eyes were blank, and he looked a little gloomy.
"The villain has seen the big boss." The old man's hoarse voice said.
"Leader Wan wants you to put on makeup for him, to look like an ordinary guard, can you do it?" Yan Ruyu asked.
The old man looked up at Wan Tieyong, and after frowning, "Yes, it takes a little effort, and in addition, you have to ask someone to help you boil the medicine." ”
"Yes." Yan Ruyu nodded.
Wan Tieyong was also very cooperative.
After finding two people to help him, it didn't take long for the old man to start moving.
The pair of rough hands scratched Wan Tieyong's face, and those strange medicinal juices were smeared layer by layer, and then supplemented with rouge gouache, and after a while, Wan Tieyong's face changed.
The reddened complexion in the black is slightly lighter, and it looks similar to that of ordinary dealers, and the edges and corners that are too clear are also slightly smoothed, and some fine lines are added to the corners of the eyes, which is more curvature, and adds a little harmony.
The overall change is not much, but the temperament is instantly different.
Wan Tieyong's original appearance made people feel that he was not a good person at first glance, but now he looks like an honest man.
Although the contours of the eyebrows and eyes are still similar to before, I believe that others will not associate the current appearance with the portrait of the wanted criminal.
Yan Ruyu was a little dumbfounded.
"You're very good at this!" Yan Ruyu praised from the bottom of her heart.
The old man was a little frightened: "The little one doesn't dare to be, I used to learn this just to make ends meet, if the painting is not good, the master will not give money." ”
He does have some talent in it.
When I was a child, I also studied the rouge gouache of my mother and sister at home, and later the level of makeup was also one of the best in the village, but this line of work is not pleasant, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, I can't make much money.
Moreover, because of this business, he was disliked by his children and grandchildren, and was scolded by his daughter-in-law......
Even, sometimes he wonders if the reason why his grandson died is really because he is too unlucky!
"Have you ever thought about passing on this craft?" Yan Ruyu said again.
"Biography?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "The big master, the small one is not a rare craft, instead of learning this, it is better to learn the autopsy......
Yan Ruyu frowned: "If you are a champion, there must be a reason for your existence, besides, you can also teach your apprentice to disguise the living, such a talent, study carefully, and you may become a generation of disguise masters in the future." ”
