Chapter 11 The Girl by the Pool IV
That's right, he ran straight to the headmaster's backyard.
As if in impatience, he struggled to climb the wall in the backyard and look inside.
At a glance, the familiar lawn, the familiar pool.
pity
But there is a pink dress missing.
How could he describe this disappointment? Even last year, he took the first place in mathematics in the whole school, and when he first read "first place: z......" when he was notified on the radio, there was no electricity, and now he is disappointed.
But life is like a movie, full of ups and downs.
In a movie, a beam of light, a look, a bullet, or even a feather can be a turning point.
And now, when Zhang Chengyuan's mood is at a low point, this turning point is a bubble.
A bubble emerged from the pool, attracting Zhang Chengyuan's attention.
It turned out that she was wearing a sky blue swimsuit and holding her breath at the bottom of the pool.
Zhang Chengyuan almost screamed with joy, he came in directly over the wall, ran to the pool, put his schoolbag aside, and looked at her quietly.
After looking at it for two seconds, he couldn't help blushing and hurriedly turned sideways to look at the scenery again.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was no reaction under the water, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but be a little worried, and when people were flustered, he always felt that time passed very slowly.
The more Zhang Chengyuan waited, the more worried he became, the girl had already sunk under the pool when he climbed the wall, and it had been a minute to say the least. After a few more seconds, there was still no reaction from the girl, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't wait any longer, and jumped directly into the pool with an arrow step.
But at the moment when he fell into the water, he saw the girl propping up her hands and floating towards the water. But at this time, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't stop it, so he pounced and became a water dog again.
The girl surfaced and opened her eyes to see Zhang Chengyuan falling into the water, startled, and almost choked. The two of them were treading in the water, looking at each other.
"You! What are you doing? Scared the hell out of me! The girl held her breath and still didn't recover, gasping for breath, swimming to the escalator and climbing out of the pool. Zhang Chengyuan tread water and followed, waiting for the girl to climb the escalator, and wanted to follow.
Unexpectedly, the girl climbed the escalator and immediately turned around, blocking the entrance of the ladder to prevent him from coming up.
"Say! What did you just want to do? Is it murder for money? The girl's eyes widened, and she was as beautiful as an angel in a sky blue swimsuit.
Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help blushing again, and whispered: "I just picked up the wall and saw you sinking under the water, and I haven't come up for a long time, I'm afraid of you, I'm worried, I think, I think you're drowning, I want to jump down to save you!" ”
The girl glared at him for a few seconds, and couldn't help laughing: "Stupid! Forgive me for not having the guts to hurt me, this time it wasn't me who pushed you down, you jumped off yourself! ”
The girl's half-disgusted and half-smiling expression made Zhang Chengyuan intoxicated. When he saw the girl laughing, he grinned silly.
"Who made you laugh!" The girl's face changed so quickly, "Who told you to peek at my backyard on the wall, did you bring the football in again this time?" ”
"Of course not, this time, I have something to look for you!" Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly explained that the girl turned her face too quickly, making him unpredictable about his temper.
"Then come up!" The girl's tone finally calmed down, and she took two steps back to get out of the way of the escalator and let Zhang Chengyuan climb up.
Zhang Chengyuan dragged his wet body and climbed ashore, and he didn't care about his embarrassed appearance, went straight to his schoolbag, and took out the treasures he brought one by one.
Alcohol lamps, small watering cans, a complete set of carving knives in a box......
"What are you doing here?" Now it's the girl's turn to be unpredictable, Zhang Chengyuan.
Zhang Chengyuan finally took out a large piece of wax embryo from his schoolbag and put it on the ground, before standing up and saying, "I'm sorry, I accidentally caused you to fall down last time and damaged your beloved wax sculpture...... I'm here this time to help you fix the broken wax carving! ”
The girl's face was full of disbelief, but Zhang Chengyuan really brought the wax embryo and the carving knife, and it didn't look like a fake. However, carving is a girl's preference since childhood, and few people learn this, and she does not believe that boys can find a way to repair a broken wax carving.
In addition to disbelief, there is still a trace of warmth in the girl's heart. Last time, I was also self-willed, and I didn't complain about him when I fell, not to mention, it seems that I accidentally injured someone with a carving knife, and it was quite inappropriate to say that I did it...... Look at the small scar on the boy's right arm that has just taken off the scab, it should be his own masterpiece that day.
The girl lowered her head and thought for a while, and said to Zhang Chengyuan: "Don't put this messy thing by the pool, isn't there a table on the lawn, you can take it there." I'll go into the house and get the wax carvings. With that, the girl turned and ran towards her house. After running two steps, he turned back and said, "I warn you, I won't bother you if you break into my backyard, but you will die if you come in my house!" ”
Zhang Chengyuan thought that the girl would be moved when she heard her words, and at least she would praise it, but she didn't expect that the girl would not speak to him gently.
Zhang Chengyuan moved all the carved guys to the table in the lawn, ready to wait for the girl to come out with the broken wax carving, and show it well, and it was not in vain that he practiced hard for more than a month.
The evening at the end of summer in Luqicheng was not hot, and a gust of wind blew, which made Zhang Chengyuan, who was wet, shiver.
After waiting for a long time, I saw the girl come out of the house. The girl changed into the pink dress again, her hair still damp down, and a small ornament hung from her neck with a red rope. She had just soaked in the water, her skin looked extraordinarily delicate, with a pair of white crystal sandals on her feet, a bag in her hand, and a trotting towards Zhang Chengyuan. The girl's figure was like a ray of sunshine, warming Zhang Chengyuan's heart, and her body no longer trembled.
The girl walked to the table, took out a bath towel from the bag, threw it to Zhang Chengyuan, and said, "I've never seen you so stupid!" Do you think I'm drowning and that the drowning people are all floating on the water? One minute is nothing, I can hold my breath for two minutes! ”
Zhang Chengyuan caught the bath towel while stupidly listening to the girl count herself, and the whole person began to look unnatural again.
"What are you doing in a daze, putting on a bath towel? You're not cold when you're wet! The girl was still not angry when she spoke, "Why are you in a daze, do you want Miss Ben to put on you personally?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan obediently draped the bath towel over himself. Shake off the bath towel, and get drunk again, the bath towel is full of the fragrance of the girl's body, and my heart suddenly feels sweet.
The girl sat next to Zhang Chengyuan, took the broken wax model out of the bag, and put it on the table.
The girl's wax sculpture is her home. The main structure of the house is fine, but the materials in the backyard are relatively thin and broken.
Zhang Chengyuan lit an alcohol lamp with a match, spread a layer of plastic film on the table, and placed the wax carving on the plastic film.
The girl watched intently, and when she saw him using this method, she sighed with some regret and said, "Do you want to glue them back with melted wax?" This doesn't work, I've tried, only the edges can be glued, and the inside can't be glued, and it can't be glued firmly. ”
Zhang Chengyuan didn't stop the work in hand, he smiled confidently and said: "Of course it's more than that, I believe I will definitely get it for you, it's not over yet!" ”
I saw that Zhang Chengyuan first roughly spliced together the broken pieces with wax, which was regarded as gluing them together on the surface.
"That's what I did myself last time!" The girl said with some grievance, "But I can't pick it up at all, and when I pick it up, it will break again." ”
"Don't worry!" Zhang Chengyuan said as he took out the metal syringe, put the crushed wax into the dissolved cavity of the syringe, and then heated the syringe from the needle to the dissolved cavity on an alcohol lamp.
"What are you?" The girl had never used a syringe to make wax carvings, and she didn't guess what Zhang Chengyuan was going to do.
The syringe has been heated on the alcohol lamp for a while, Zhang Chengyuan quickly removed the syringe, and then found the fracture on the surface of the wax carving with wax, and pierced the syringe without hesitation.
"You're so smart!" The girl couldn't help but praise Zhang Chengyuan happily.
"It's not going to work!" Zhang Chengyuan continued the work in his hand and said, "This is only a little stronger than just now, but the wax liquid will not stick all the cracks, because it solidifies quickly." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said, holding the glued wax sculpture as a whole, and constantly burning the cracks on the alcohol lamp. The wax at the crack melted again, but also with some deformation.
"What are you doing? Stop, it's all deformed! The girl saw that her beloved work was a little deformed, and couldn't help but stop Zhang Chengyuan.
"Don't worry!" Zhang Chengyuan still didn't stop, "Only in this way can the cracks be firmly bonded and stronger, and deformation is a trivial matter." ”
I saw Zhang Chengyuan bake the cracks, put the wax carving back on the table again, and began to process the deformed place with the hot carving process taught by his mother.
"Why, then, do you have to roast a handmade knife over a fire and then carve it now?" The girl's tone began to soften.
"Because the material of wax itself is brittle, but it becomes soft when heated, so if you want to make the carved surface smooth, flat and smooth, it is best to use the hot carving method." When Zhang Chengyuan said this, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and by the way, he praised his mother dozens of times in his heart.
Using the hot carving method, Zhang Chengyuan's handiwork is indeed more delicate than the girl's previous carving. The girl couldn't help but admire Zhang Chengyuan's technique more and more.
After half an hour, the wax sculpture was repaired, and it was even more beautiful than the original work. The girl's eyes were smiling: "It's really beautiful!" ”
"This needs to be improved!" The boy said as he melted some wax with a small crucible, "Everything else is okay, but this swimming pool carving has no sense of reality, no matter how much the knife scrapes, it can't get the smoothness of the water, you see, this swimming pool in the sculpture doesn't look like a piece of cultivated land?" ”
When the girl said this, she looked at it and felt that the swimming pool was not carved, biting her red lips with her white teeth, and raising her eyebrows slightly, her expression was indescribably pitiful.
"Don't worry, look at it!" Zhang Chengyuan held a small watering can in one hand and a crucible with tweezers in the other, and he quickly poured the molten wax into the swimming pool on the wax carving, and the wax surged along the swimming pool and gradually flattened. Before the surface of the wax liquid was completely calm, Zhang Chengyuan held down the watering can, and a mist sprayed onto the surface of the wax liquid - the surging water surface was completed.
It was definitely an extraordinary performance, and the timing of the spray was just right, neither too early spray to make the pool look too choppy, but not too late to make the pool water look mirror-like.
Zhang Chengyuan had imagined thousands of times that he had practiced wax carving for more than a month, and after showing it in front of the girl, what would the girl say, and what a surprised expression she would have, but the next scene was something he had never imagined.
