"Xi Yao!" Miao Yi saw Xi Yao running in a hurry in the distance, shouted, saw Xi Yao turn her head, and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, you won't forget me, right?"
"No, I'm sorry, Miaoyi, a lot has happened lately, and I couldn't help you find your lover. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Miao Yi saw Xi Yao, who was at a loss, walked towards Xi Yao, and asked, "What happened, how did you get like this?"
"I met vampires on the way, and the strange thing is that the villains who chased me that day actually helped me, probably because they wanted to live, but the number of vampires is far greater than those villains. ā
"And then?"
"Those villains have been sucked dry by vampires," Xi Yao said here, Miao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, Xi Yao said again, "Those vampires are even more terrifying, I don't know whether to be happy or admit that I am unlucky, the person who saved me has hurt me even more!"
"Who?"
"A purebred vampire, an abominable fellow!"
"Isn't it more terrifying than ordinary vampires when you met a pure-blooded vampire?How did you come back so well?Do you know each other?"
"I'd rather never know him!" Xi Yao looked down at the fragment she was holding in her hand, "I lost something very important, and he helped me find it, but not for me, but to tease me, and even broke it in front of me." ā
"Xi Yao, does that purebred vampire like you?"
"It's not!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the cloak you're wearing must be that of the purebred vampire, right?" Miao Yi smiled as if he had noticed something interesting, and said, "However, I suggest you take off this cloak quickly, and it is better to put it away, otherwise he will be very angry if Fan Chen sees it." ā
Xi Yao was so disturbed by Ya Chi that she broke the celadon bowl, she forgot about it, she quickly took off Ya Chi's coat, and said, "Miao Yi, fortunately you reminded me, otherwise I would have gotten into trouble." ā
"You were bitten by those vampires, don't you need to change your clothes?"
"Yes, yes," Xi Yao said as she walked to her room, "Miaoyi, you help me figure out a way, this celadon bowl is very important to me, but it is broken now, what should I do?"
"There is a well-known potter in the North Burning Slope, who has a strange personality but is very good at his craft, and you may be able to go to him and ask if he can repair it. ā
"Really, great!" Xi Yao threw Yazhi's coat into Miao Yi's hand, "You help me hide it, don't let Fan Chen see it, I'll go to Beiyan Slope first." ā
"You haven't changed your clothes yet!"
"No need. Xi Yao couldn't wait to run out.
"I'm at the door of my room, and I don't go in to change my clothes, is that thing so important?" Miao Yi pushed open the door and walked around Xi Yao's room, finally opening the wardrobe and stuffing the coat inside.
Xi Yao rushed to the North Burning Slope non-stop, Miao Yi was right, as long as you ask a passer-by about the potter of the North Burning Slope, everyone knows.
Xi Yao leaned on the fence and asked the middle-aged man in the courtyard, "Hello, are you a famous potter in Beiyanpo?"
The man turned his head and said, "No." ā
Xi Yao clearly saw that the man was glazing the clay pot in his hand, although she was a layman, but at a glance she knew that the man was an expert, Xi Yao said again, "I have a celadon bowl that has been broken, can you help me repair it?"
"If it's broken, it's broken, and it can't be repaired. ā
"Is your master here, will he fix it?"
"I'm just here to make mud, where do I need Master. The man turned his head and continued to work on what he was doing.
Xi Yao said in her heart, what a strange person.
She raised her hand, wanting the man to see the fragment in her hand, and said, "Then can you make an exact one?" Xi Yao knew that it was despicable to steal dragons for phoenixes like this, but she couldn't think of a better way, for the sake of now, she could only do so.
The man didn't look at it, so he said yes, Xi Yao was happy, and the man asked, "How much money do you have?"
"Money?" Xi Yao realized an important problem: she had no money at all!
"Listen to the tone, it's no money. The man got up, walked over to the fence, opened the door, and motioned for Xi Yao to follow.
"I don't have any money, but I don't sell my ......"
"Isn't it okay to exchange labor for labor?" the man picked up an axe and threw it into Xi Yao's hand, "Firewood is needed for the kiln, do you understand?"
Xi Yao nodded vigorously and exchanged her labor for it, which was fair, and she accepted it very happily.
"Heaped all over here. The man said and motioned for Xi Yao to chop wood.
"It's full here, so much! Do you need so much firewood to burn a celadon bowl?"
"If you don't want to, get out. The man said angrily.
"Yes. Xi Yao hurriedly replied, she carefully put the pieces aside, for fear that there would be more pieces, and she would not be able to see the original appearance clearly, since he was a famous potter, he would definitely be able to make an identical one.
Although she didn't know when she would fill the place, she still walked up the hill with an axe.
Although Xi Yao is not a pampered person, she is a woman after all, even if her hands are full of blood bubbles, she may not have much effect. The man saw Xi Yao running around with firewood, and he didn't pity the jade, he was concentrating on repairing the blank.
The man is so demanding that a woman sleeplessly chops wood for him.
It was already dark, Xi Yao was tired, resting on the firewood, she looked at her meager results, and didn't know when she would be able to fill up here.
Xi Yao still had half of the human blood flowing in her body, and she felt more and more hungry because she had been working back and forth, she looked at the bright window in the room, although it was a bit too much to ask for food like this, but she still got up and walked over.
"Huh?!" Xi Yao was stunned, and through the window, she saw a room full of women, all of them with pale faces, except for the blinking of their eyes, but their bodies were motionless, and one of them had no facial features!
"What are you doing? What have you seen?" the man appeared behind Xi Yao at some point, and his tone was very vicious.
Xi Yao turned around, "No, I didn't see anything. ā
"Since you've seen it all, then please take a closer look!" The man grabbed Xi Yao's arm and dragged him into the room, "I hate voyeuristic women the most, women are naturally curious, and I will punish every voyeuristic woman." ā
"Punishment?" Xi Yao vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Yes, punishment, and reward. The man pushed Xi Yao aside, closed the door, and walked up to a woman with a pale face, and he touched the woman's face.
When Xi Yao was pushed down, her arm hit a woman's body, which was hard, like a clay pot! Xi Yao stood up, carefully looked at the woman next to her, and muttered, "They, are they ceramics?"
The man was amused by Xi Yao's words and said with a smile, "They are the perfect combination of people and ceramics!"
"What does it mean to be a combination of humans and ceramics?" Xi Yao didn't understand, at the same time, all the women blinked their eyes, as if they were talking, and some even blinked tears, but they still didn't stop blinking, as if they were asking Xi Yao for help, or perhaps, reminding her to run.
Are they living or are they porcelain?Are their eyes alive or are they blinking mechanically with a mechanism?Xi Yao was startled by this strange phenomenon, and she said as she walked towards the door, "I'm going to chop wood, I'm going to chop wood, I'm going to chop wood......
"Ahh
The man grabbed Xi Yao's arm tightly, twisted it red, and said, "Don't you think pottery is wonderful? Those inconspicuous muds can make exquisite works of art through a series of processes, what a wonderful thing!" Digging mud, stacking mud, drawing blanks, printing blanks, repairing blanks, pouring water, painting blanks, glazing, the last process before porcelain is the kiln, which needs to go through a few days of sintering, thousands of degrees of high temperature, there will be some pain, but you don't have to be afraid, after high temperature smelting, you will become more exquisite, will become a work of art that people can't put down. ā
"I don't want to be a work of art! I'm human!"
"Ugly and dirty mud can be turned into a beautiful work of art, let alone a human being? The man had gone mad and smiled hideously.
"Please, don't be like this! People are not the same as ceramics!" Xi Yao realized at this moment that this person was not a strange personality, but a pervert at all.
"Look at you, you get a wound, how fragile people are, a light cut will break it, it will bleed, ceramics are different, there is a hard and exquisite appearance, you have to suffer hardship, in order to refine the beauty, don't be afraid, the high temperature of thousands of degrees will only burn your fragile appearance, but it will give you a new appearance, brand new, exquisite, I will paint you very beautiful, very beautiful, I promise you, you will become my most beautiful work. ā
"You're a madman...... you're a madman," Xi Yao said halfway through, her head tingled, and she felt a warm liquid trickle down her forehead, and then she lost consciousness.
The man picked up the unconscious Xi Yao, walked into the craft room, and placed her on the wooden board. He fetched a basin of well water, wiped the blood from her head, and said to himself, "You will soon be qualitatively transformed, there will be no more bloodshed, no more injuries, I will make you the most exquisite work of art in the world, cherish and love you." ā
The man stripped Xi Yao's clothes off her body and wiped off the dirt and dust he thought she had.
After the man scrubbed Xi Yao clean, he took out a complete set of tools and placed them neatly on the wooden board one by one.
Immediately afterwards, he brought a wooden barrel, which contained the mud he had prepared in advance, and he skillfully used a tool that was half a blade and half a flat shovel to pick up the mud in the barrel, and wiped it on Xi Yao's face, neck, and body, and painted her whole body all over it, and carefully trimmed it with a trimming tool to prepare for the next process.
