Chapter 23: Tried and Failed

Chu Xiao first took out the amount of material and adjusted it into ink according to the dosage required by the moonfire.

"Put the mask on, it smells terrible."

Chu Xiao stared at the scales measuring Yanyan with all his attention, and he didn't even have the time to look elsewhere.

It stands to reason that the card-making process cannot be exposed to outsiders, which may cause the risk of theft, but Tang Qianyu is just a harmless little girl.

However, for the sake of safety, Chu Xiao still concealed something, after all, it is indispensable to guard against others, and before the identity of the other party is determined, all belief in others is a risky act.

Tang Qianyu was also sensible, and knew that he couldn't disturb others when they were making cards, so he sat quietly next to him, staring intently at the cards taken out of the mold like Chu Xiao.

The card is made of Qi yellow wood, the whole body is light yellow, the surface is slightly concave and convex, and it is a little rough to the touch.

The dark blue ink gradually changed to a blue and red color under the stirring, and there were circles of ripples, wafting heat.

The more Tang Qianyu looked at it, the more strange he felt, this kind of technique was not a layman at first glance, could it be that Chu Xiao was not only rich in theoretical knowledge, but also so powerful in practice?

Put aside distractions, continue to look, and only by putting down the pen can you see the level of card making.

After absorbing enough ink, Chu Xiao thought for a while and then drew with his pen.

The arms are not moving, but the wrists are twisting flexibly.

The tip of the pen flows with warm ink ink, like an endless stream, winding and circling on the card, because the ink is not solidified, the ink has a dynamic ink flow on it, like a smart snake slowly wriggling.

Tang Qianyu couldn't help but widen her eyes, her already bright eyes were watery and full of surprise at the moment.

I don't have to say anything about my card skills, it's several times better than her, and I can't help but blame myself, and I was suspected of judging people by my appearance when we first met.

However, she felt strange, with such a strong theoretical knowledge and card drawing skills, even if it was a unified recruitment, there should be no pressure, even if she couldn't get into the North Academy, it would be easy to get into the South Academy.

"Alas......"

Chu Xiao threw the card aside, and sure enough, failed again.

Tang Qianyu came back to her senses, glared at him and said, "What kind of sigh, do you know if you will live ten seconds less by sighing." ”

Chu Xiao was slightly stunned, yes, what is there to sigh about, the black street is so difficult to come over, how can you be stumped by this small card, you can't be anxious to make a magic card for the first time, you have to take one step at a time, and now you are just halfway through, how can you succeed.

After completing the journey, it will naturally come to fruition.

Adjust your mentality, Chu Xiao tried again, the use of perception just now is still wrong, this time you have to pay attention.

However, the next time it still fails, and the next time it fails, and the next time it fails again......

Looking at the drastically reduced material, Chu Xiao impatiently pushed the material at hand out, leaning on the back of the chair and breathing.

"I can see that you don't know how to use perception."

Tang Qianyu was tired of watching, not to mention Chu Xiao, who did it herself, if it was her, she had given up a long time ago, Chu Xiao was quite patient, tried so many times, although she failed, she still persevered until her perception was exhausted.

"I know that, but what's the solution?" Chu Xiao said softly.

His right hand hung down, trembling slightly, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his physical strength and perception were not enough to support him to continue.

Tang Qianyu spread her hands, "I don't know what to do, I don't know much about the use of perception, but there is naturally a way to solve problems, I have time to go to the library to see, there are a lot of books there, maybe it will help you." ”

"Hopefully......"

"Okay, I'll go back, see you tomorrow."

After a busy day, his back still hurt a little, so Chu Xiao couldn't sit still and went to bed to rest.

……

The next morning, Chu Xiao strolled through the dormitory area, and the cool breeze blew away the remaining tiredness.

The murmuring water laps on the stones, the delicate green bamboos around it rustle, and a few birds cry around the beams, and the ensemble plays a beautiful movement.

After a night's rest, the back no longer hurts, only the big movements cause a trace of discomfort, but it is not tight.

Walking to the teaching building alone, the mood was particularly comfortable, and when I woke up, I was not in the black street, but in the pleasant scenery of Sika School, and my psychology and physiology were greatly satisfied.

At this point in time, it is inevitable that you will meet classmates, at most they will look at each other and smile when they meet, but they will not pay attention to each other, Chu Xiao does not have the habit of sticking a hot face to people and a cold ass, others do not want to see him, and he also ignores others.

I can't explain anything, because he just came in through the back door, although he also passed the written and practical exams, but others don't know, even if he wears out his mouth to explain, no one may believe him, and his image is almost fixed in the minds of his classmates.

is a relationship with a better memory, and he performs actively in class, just to hide himself.

Even if he says it wildly and sobly, others will think that he acted it out and simply don't explain it, because most people believe that "explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth" This nonsense that comes out of nowhere.

"Brother Hui, I heard that you almost entered the North Courtyard, is it true?"

"Needless to say, Brother Hui's strength is obvious to all, even those pretentious guys in the North Courtyard are not necessarily as good as Brother Hui in card making."

After the boy who was called Brother Hui by the two heard the praise, he couldn't help but raise his chest a point higher, and boasted: "The North Courtyard and the South Courtyard are just the difference in name, if it is practical, our Donghui is not afraid of the people in his North Courtyard." ”

Chu Xiao, who was walking behind, naturally heard these remarks, and these three people were also in the fifth class of the first grade, and they were his classmates.

Fang Donghui is indeed quite talented in card making, which is obvious to all, that is, his conduct is not very good, what others say about him, Chu Xiao doesn't care, he only knows that this Fang Donghui has money at home and the teacher is optimistic, so he has been unscrupulous, and he is often surrounded by his younger brother.

Even in reality, there are some people who eat and drink with the rich.

Fang Donghui has always been obsessed with the matter of almost entering the North Academy, and has approached the school more than once, and the school's attitude is very resolute, a few points is a few points, and the established rules will never be allowed to be broken, so as not to leave a negative impression on the outside world.

After such a long time, he stopped and stayed in the South Courtyard steadily, but he thought very highly of himself, thinking that the rise of the South Courtyard depended on him.

Positive in front of the teacher, often make small reports, and pretend to be a big brother in front of classmates, which makes many people in the fifth class disgusted, but they can't do anything, at most they say a few words behind his back, after all, they have money in the family, and it is said that they have a little relationship with the district head, and they are often followed by a group of younger brothers.

"That's it, Brother Hui will definitely be better than those guys in the North Courtyard in the future."

"Needless to say, for sure."

Unable to stand these people's sloppy slapping horses, Chu Xiao quickened his pace and overtook him.

A younger brother saw him walking by, and deliberately raised his voice, "Don't you say hello when you see Brother Hui?" ”

Chu Xiao affirmed that this sentence was said to him, and he couldn't help but darken his face.

These guys are just like this, they don't have the ability to rely on Fang Donghui's power to make a fortune, and they think they are decent.
