Public opinion around the world is in a "doomsday" tone.
In such an atmosphere of panic, I am afraid that only another miracle can cover up this pessimistic mood.
The timely appearance of the six miniature sculpture cities just diverted the attention of some people.
Whether this is a miracle or a miracle, no one can say for sure.
These six cities of miniature sculpture appeared in the public eye at the same time, and were grandly exhibited by the national museums of the six major countries.
The so-called city of miniature carving is to carve the whole picture of a city on some particularly small carriers, and you need to use a high-powered magnifying glass to peek at one or two of them.
The first is the city of yellow sand, which appeared in the holy land of the Middle East and became a holy city for the descendants of nomads to worship.
Under the lens of a high-powered magnifying glass, a condensed city is carved on a grain of sand, which is an excellent interpretation of the magic of a sand and a world.
In the city of yellow sand, the huge earthy yellow buildings, the market merchants, the noise of the streets are vivid, as well as the teenagers chasing and playing on the corner of the street, and the camel caravan that is about to travel far outside the city wall, the figure of the leader has disappeared into the boundless yellow sand......
The City of the Boiling Sea, exhibited by the Royal British Museum.
A bustling and crowded seaside town carved into a small shark's tooth, the busy workers in the fishing port, the fish dumping from the fishing nets on the boats, the giant white birds soaring in the air, and the endless horizon in the distance, the gray dreary of the sky, all seem to indicate that an unparalleled storm is coming.
The spectators all secretly sweated for the people working by the harbor.
Dark City......
Oasis City......
Red Rock City......
City of Purple Smoke......
Thousands of people flock to see these miniature cities.
Various media have also reported such a grand occasion, the six miniature sculpture cities have been magnified countless times, clearly displayed on the screen, as large as the panoramic view of each city can not see the borders, as small as the wrinkles on the foreheads of the characters inside, the dimples at the corners of the mouths, and even the flowing hair, all of which are like suspended time, frozen moments of life.
"It's so realistic, which master's work is this?"
"This is the real art of miniature carving, how many times has it been reduced!"
"Such cities can only be found in dreams, and if you don't see these cities, they are only showing a shallow corner, and they are hidden for a large part ......"
"The original Seven Wonders of the World are going to be rearranged now, this miniature carving six cities can definitely be regarded as a great miracle!"
All of a sudden, there were different opinions, and people were deeply shocked by the emergence of the six miniature sculpture cities, and at the same time, there were all kinds of speculations.
"Why are there only six miniature sculpture cities? Usually seven feels better, will there be a secret hidden in the seventh miniature sculpture city?"
"Will there be a miracle in the city of seven miniature sculptures?"
"Nine stars in a row, the appearance of the city of miniature carvings, is there any special connection between the two?"
ā......ā
In early summer, the temperature in Red Sea City is already close to 30 degrees, there is no rain for most of the month, and the air is a little dry.
It's hard to stay calm in the weather.
This is Lin Zhan's excuse for not being in a very beautiful mood during this time, blaming his troubles on the weather, which seems to be better when he thinks about it.
Lin Zhan, male, eighteen years old, a senior student at the Honghai City Police Academy, is not very outstanding at 1.78 meters, his facial features are barely upright, his eyebrows are thick, his face is tanned, and his personal image is decent.
However, in the words of his girlfriend Ling Qier, the local temperament is too strong, and the one-word summary is: "soil".
The last time the city special police detachment came to the school to inspect the new members, Lin Zhan was the first to sign up, and passed the preliminary and re-examination very smoothly, but in the end, during the political trial, he said that he found out that he had a distant relative who had not been able to play a pole for eight lifetimes had been in prison, and he was brushed off like this.
When Lin Zhan came to Ling Qi'er for spiritual comfort, he was told that this was her move.
It was Ling Qi'er who didn't want Lin Zhan to become a SWAT team member and didn't want him to engage in such a dangerous job in the future, so she begged her grandfather, who had been an important leader in the Red Sea, for help, and asked him to call his former subordinates and exclude Lin Zhan.
This is absolutely unbearable, Lin Zhan angrily proposed to break up!
On this earth, even if I am just a speck of dust, it is a drop of dignity!
If you are so casual about your decisions before you get married, and change your ideals wantonly, can you still be free after marriage?
"Break up!"
Hearing Lin Zhan's categorical words, Ling Qi'er covered her face and ran away crying.
Looking at her back, Lin Zhan waved his fist and slammed it against the wall, and the back of his hand was suddenly dripping with blood......
What a bastard life!
Half a catty of soju went down, Lin Zhan went to the street with red eyes, he wanted to give Ling Qi'er the last gift, after all, a few years of affection, without such the last cruelty.
Ling Qi'er is the school flower of the Red Sea Art Academy and likes to collect some strange crafts.
This last parting gift, Lin Zhan decided to go to the handicrafts or antique store to buy it.
Walking into a handicraft store, there was only one shopkeeper wearing reading glasses and looking at his mobile phone, and he didn't say hello.
Lin Zhan walked around the store twice, and finally stopped his gaze on an inconspicuous corner.
"Boss, you're covered in dust here, can you let me see this little thing?" Lin Zhan pointed to a brocade box in the corner, and he saw the picture on the side, which should be a miniature carved handicraft, called "Snow City".
The shopkeeper raised his head, looked over the reading glasses, and after a glance, he looked down at the phone again, but his voice still came: "If you want to see it, you can put it under the high-powered magnifying glass over there, but it is very difficult to see the scene inside." ā
Recently, this miniature carving is very popular, after the emergence of the six miniature sculpture cities, there are many more micro sculpture works of varying levels on the market, most of which are the theme of miniature cities, Lin Zhan saw such a miniature sculpture of "Snow City", and wondered in his heart, will this also be a follow-up work.
Regarding the rumors about the Nine Stars and the Six Miniature Sculpture Cities that are popular all over the world, Lin Zhan, like most citizens, will not use too many actions to do anything except to read the news and pay attention to the latest developments.
The end of the world, the destruction of the earth? It's useless to think more.
Can this miniature sculpture of "Snow City" be used as a breakup gift?
This is what Lin Zhan is most concerned about now.
Let's see, but it's strange why the boss said that it was difficult to see the scene inside?
Is it because the magnifying glass is not multiplied enough, or something else?
Lin Zhan held the brocade box and came to the workbench not far from the cash register, where a high-powered magnifying glass was placed.
"Boss, then I'll open the box and take it out myself. ā
The shopkeeper didn't react in particular, Lin Zhan shook his head, sat down, rubbed his hands, and then opened the brocade box.
It was a delicate pendant, cast and polished in gold, a hollowed-out round plaque, and in the middle of it was inlaid with an ice-blue jewel-like ring, and in the very center, the stars were inlaid with a white sparkling thing.
"Hey, nothing special, such an old-fashioned pendant, no wonder no one wants it when it is thrown in such a dusty corner. ā
Lin Zhan muttered, reaching out to take the pendant out of the brocade box.
It was placed very firmly, and it took Lin Zhan a lot of effort to succeed, and he also pulled the wound on the back of his hand, and some blood stains were stained on the pendant.
Lin Zhan hurriedly wiped it secretly with his sleeve, wiped off the blood stains, looked sideways at the shopkeeper, there was nothing unusual, stuck out his tongue, and put the pendant into the focal length of the high-powered magnifying glass.
"Wow!"
At the first glance, Lin Zhan seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, because the scene inside this miniature Snow City shocked him too much.
A white world, a city shrouded in ice and snow, a vast area, white walls, plain streets, frozen rivers, and small people like ice sculptures......
In the distance of the city, the wind and snow are all over the road, and the falling snowflakes can be vaguely seen in the air, making the mountains and rivers seem unreachable, and the outline is graceful.
Under the high-powered magnifying glass, Lin Zhan also captured a hint of bright red.
He looked back from the eyepiece and smiled awkwardly, knowing that the bright red must be a blood stain that he hadn't wiped clean.
This is really a good thing, Ling Qi'er should like it, right?
He gently put the pendant back into the brocade box, held it to the counter, put it under the nose of the shopkeeper, and then asked cautiously: "Boss, what is the price of this "Snow City"? I am a poor student, too expensive to afford!"
