Chapter 118: Wood Carving
readx;?“ I won't say anything like that again, so go back." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" General Liu Yexing closed his eyes again after speaking. I wanted to hear some of the opinions of the three nephews themselves, to see if they could be edified, and knew that it was time for me to consider the heir, but I always answered like this.
Liu San didn't respond, but slowly retreated. He gently closed the door, and walked out of the wooden house under the guidance of the old man who was waiting at the door.
"Patriarch. After Liu San left, the general sighed softly. I don't know what could make the general sigh.
The most important thing in these 100,000 mountains is wood and it is a big wood, and you can see statues carved from big wood everywhere, and there are people and beasts. His Royal Highness the Human Prince doesn't know him, and as for the beasts, he knows a few.
There are no shops like the Han Dynasty in this southern Xinjiang, at least not in this Liu clan. Rather, there is a fixed intersection where you can buy and sell things and you can't buy or sell anything else. It's not like Leyang City has shops on every avenue.
Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is led by Chen Shun and comes to the intersection of the Liu family. The intersection is very large, it is a square, and every few steps you can see a thin wooden board on the ground, on which are placed things to be sold, and behind it sits a person or a man or a woman, who is the seller.
The things sold are also very interesting, there are knick-knacks, there are cloth and silk, and even weapons and army crossbows are sold, of course, the amount is not large. The men in the family go out hunting and use this thing.
Yuan Kong suddenly became very interested in a gadget on a wooden board. Squatted down in front of the plank, reached out and picked up a large carved wooden cat on the board and looked at it again and again.
There are also a lot of wood carvings on this wooden board, and there are birds, beasts, insects, and fish figures. There are a lot of such gadgets sold at this intersection, but now Yuankong has found that the wood carvings on this wooden board are particularly brilliant, which can be described as lifelike.
Pick one up in your hand and look at the other. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't like this thing, but he thought that he would have to bring some gifts to his sisters at a time, and these wood carvings were very good as gifts. Bring some more to my sister one by one, and there is still Maomao.
"Why, young man, you still like this little thing. Then the seller spoke.
Originally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince noticed the wood carving on the wooden board at a glance, but he really didn't pay attention to the seller, but when he heard the voice, he raised his head and glanced at the seller.
The seller's face is not very old, his eyebrows and eyes are very ordinary, but his ears are very thick and his forehead is wide. The seller should be very tall when sitting cross-legged at such a height. Wearing a simple cloth coat is off-white.
After reading it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said: "Friend, you are not very old, I thought you were an old man, friend." ”
"Hahaha, that's older than you, so I'll call you young. I've sold this wood carving in many places, but young man, you can't get enough of it. Listening to the accent, it's not from southern Xinjiang, it's no wonder, I've never seen such a good wood carving over there. The seller laughed twice and said, saying that he was quite proud at the end.
Hearing that this seller actually said that this thing is not available in the Han Dynasty, Yuan Kong, who is the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, is going to talk to this person.
"I have to admit that your wood carving is indeed lifelike, but my Han Dynasty is also a place of outstanding people and talents, how can wood carving be inferior to you. Besides, the craftsmanship on this wood carving is not a friend, you can carve it at such a young age, presumably it is to take the things of the parents in the family and sell it. Yuan Kong said a little unconvinced, but not being convinced did not prevent Yuan Kong from continuing to select the wood carvings on this plank, and also thought about the anti-general.
Originally, the person in front of him began to say what the Han Dynasty was like, and the seller didn't want to argue with him, but in the end, he doubted his carving skills, so he couldn't ignore it.
So he said, "Hey, young man, it looks like I'm going to have to show you a hand." So saying, he reached out and took a piece of log from the far side of the plank, held it in his left hand, and held a carving knife in his right hand.
Then he said: "Say what you want to carve, I'll carve one for you immediately, don't want money to give it to you." ”
Hearing this sentence of not wanting money, Yuan Kong finally reacted, he didn't have the currency of southern Xinjiang, and it would be embarrassing if he couldn't get the money after choosing for a long time, and Chen Shun didn't remind himself. This wooden carving in the hands of this seller who doesn't need money has to be caught.
Yuan Kong deliberately pretended not to believe it, glanced at the seller, and said: "If you are at this level, I won't give you a too difficult topic, lest you can't carve it at this time, and you won't be embarrassed if you can't come to the stage if you expose the stuffing." ”
"You don't have to think about it, young man, you can say it casually, as long as you say it, I will carve it. The seller carved a wood carving in one hand and a carving knife in the other hand and said with a proud wave.
"Okay, that's what you said, so carve me. After Yuan Kong finished speaking, he looked at the seller.
Then I found that the seller had been staring at him, and he didn't say anything for a long time, so he asked a little worriedly: "What's the matter, it can't be really carved." ”
At this time, it may be that the movement here is a little big, which has attracted several people from the surrounding wooden stalls, and people who are still hanging out and shopping to come around to watch the excitement.
As soon as Yuankong's voice fell, he heard the seller say, "Okay, remember clearly." "It's less than a cup of tea.
Then I saw this man carefully carved on the log in his hand, and never looked up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again.
The hands are steady, the carving knife is flying on the fingertips, and the sawdust is floating in the air, but the carving process is already beautiful and abnormal, and it can be painted.
Among the people who came to watch, there were also talented people in this line, and they were also amazed. As for the layman, it was even more surprising.
Chen Shun was also surprised, but Chen Shun was surprised that his uncle was really not an ordinary person, and this casual rise of a visit to the intersection of southern Xinjiang could also cause such a big movement.
Soon a general prototype can be seen, and then the seller began to carve carefully, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and ears, one after another parts appeared.
After a short time, the seller finally raised his head and said with some pride: "Young man, take it and take a look, I'll give it to you." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stretched out his hand to take the wood carving and exclaimed.
"Aren't you scared by my skills? The seller said.
"Yes, the carving is lifelike. "This carving is indeed exactly the same, and it is the posture that Yuankong half-squatted and squinted at the seller.
But Yuankong exclaimed not because of this, but because Yuankong subconsciously thought that this carving was his original handsome appearance, and he actually forgot that he was now disguised, but fortunately he reacted in time and said lifelike.
