Xing Yi stood still, but Wen Qiyi pushed him: "Let's go, go and see." ”

Xing Yi said: "It's not good to go in casually like this. ”

"There's nothing bad about it, people are happy."

Pushing Xing Yi forward, he stretched out his head behind him and said, "You locked up the dog." ”

The old carpenter put the dog in the side room, put on an iron buckle, and stuck it with a branch.

There happened to be a pot of old pumpkin and corn porridge on the white wooden table, and the old carpenter brought bowls and chopsticks, and one of them scooped a bowl for them, and invited them to eat a plate of fried soybeans.

Wen Qiyi drank a bowl and said, "Another bowl." ”

He slammed his mouth and glanced back at the wall.

Xing Yi noticed that he looked at the things on the wall like this several times.

With the consent of the old carpenter, Xing Yi took off his mask and handed it to Wen Qiyi.

Wen Qiyi said: "This was originally an old tree root, and it looks like it is a hundred years old. ”

"How do you know?"

"Look at the annual rings, a circle is a year."

"It's dense, I can't see it clearly."

"There's an easy way to do it, after a hundred years old, the growth rings will change into braids, and there are two braids of hair, and I say it's less than a hundred years old."

Xing Yi asked the old carpenter, "Why do you use such old roots to carve?" ”

The old carpenter didn't seem to understand.

Wen Qiyi began to show off: "You don't understand this, the roots of the tree are old, which means that the vitality is strong, and using it to carve it into a work of art implies the meaning of long-lasting." ”

Looking at Xing Yi's stunned expression, Wen Qiyi was proud.

"However, the knife work is very ordinary, and the color of the paint is not adjusted properly, and an old piece of wood is blind.

The old carpenter was silent and silently hung the mask back.

Because he had drunk porridge and urinated quickly, Xing Yi wanted to go to the back of the room for convenience, and Wen Qiyi followed out.

Wen Qiyi shuddered, grabbed his pants, and said, "I'll leave first in a while, and you can leave later." ”

Xing Yi asked, "Why?" ”

"I want you to do something."

"What are you doing?"

"You ask the old carpenter, do you want me to take the bamboo roots and tree roots?"

"You take those two crafts?"

"What kind of handicraft, he wants to have that kind of craft, didn't he go out to open a shop early, and quietly stay in this small village to make a living?"

"I'm afraid not."

"What's not to do? I'll give him money. ”

"Then you tell him directly."

"My identity is not appropriate to talk about money at his house."

"Then it's appropriate for me to say?"

"It should be possible."

"You want me to contact people in a small village like this?"

"Didn't I tell you, this is a special situation, I sent you to do it, you can do it, you can go by yourself, you can't."

"How much money do you want to give him?"

"As I said just now, I can't mention the money, and I arranged it for you, you go and say it, and ask him how much he wants."

"Okay then."

Wen Qiyi took the shotgun, walked outside the village, looked back, and estimated that the dog would not see him, so he stood down and waited.

Xing Yi was in the house, pointed to the mask and the lion's head and asked, "Do you want to sell it?" ”

The old carpenter glanced outside: "The man surnamed Wen wants to buy it?" ”

Xing Yi didn't answer directly, he didn't know what the old carpenter thought.

The old carpenter said, "If he comes to buy it, I won't sell it." ”

Xing Yi said: "What if it's me? ”

"If it's you, you can just give it some."

Xing Yi didn't say that I wanted it, nor did he say how much he would give, he looked at the two handicrafts and said goodbye to the old carpenter.

Wen Qiyi greeted him: "What do you say?" ”

"It's kind of interesting, I should be able to make a move."

"Did you tell him directly?"

"I don't know your true intentions yet."

"I'll give you two hundred for two things."

"Two hundred?" Xing Yi grinned, "It can't be done." ”

"Why can't you do it?"

"I asked him, and the gap is really a bit big."

"How much does he want?"

Xing Yi looked back: "Three thousand." ”

"Three thousand? Just the rotten wood and old bamboo roots? ”

"Just one piece."

"That is, two things for six thousand?"

"Hmm."

"Hmph, it's just, it's crazy to think about money."

Wen Qiyi raised his gun and aimed it over there: "Then he will stay and hang there forever." ”

On Saturday, Xing Yi was on vacation and returned to the Guangming Hotel, and Boss Wei said, "That guy surnamed Yang is looking for you again." ”

Xing Yi said, it's Yang Linxiang, why didn't he call?

"It's hit, it can't get through."

"Yes, there's no signal from the hydropower plant."

Call right away.

Yang Linxiang said: "I estimate that you will come back today, and I will tell you the good news, the bloodstone is available." ”

"Bloodstone?"

"Yes, it was sent by someone the day before yesterday."

"Okay, I'll come right over."

Yang Linxiang deliberately changed a big bulb, took out the stone and put it on the table, sure enough, the color was dazzlingly red, the shape was very much like a chicken, about the same size as an ordinary domestic one, if there was a crown on this head, it would be a rooster, and it could be named "Rooster Dawn".

The stone surnamed Hong was named "Fighting the Clouds" because it resembled an eagle.

The chicken has been groomed to make it move closer to the eagle, and it is already remarkable that it has, at least, had this snowy red inside.

Yang Linxiang told the story again. The man came on a tricycle, wrapped in a sack, and carried him in alone without help.

After he came in, he asked his name first, and asked me to repeat the content of the revelation, the same as the code, no problem, and then I was relieved to untie the sack for me to see, as soon as I saw this color, I became excited, and Brother Xing Yi's wish was solved.

"I asked him where the stone came from, and he said that he bought it in a village on the border between Jinxiu County and Shengjing County, and because he liked the red color very much, he spent 500 yuan. After buying the stone, he kept it at home and admired it for himself, until he saw the revelation and knew that someone had bothered to do good deeds in order to find medicine for his father, so he sent it over.

But when I asked him how much it was, he startled me when he offered 10,000 yuan, saying that if he met an expert, he would give up 20,000 or even 30,000 yuan, and he wanted to do it for pleasure in helping others.

"I won't listen to him, just say it's too high, we don't buy stones for ornamentation, it's to make medicine primers, or it's not much, spend so much money to buy a big stone, and it can't be used up, it's not worth it, can we knock off a corner to sell it."

Xing Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "He definitely won't agree, knock down a piece, and the whole stone will be wasted and worthless." ”

Yang Linxiang said: "Yes, when I say this, he is a little bit of that, and he asks me a little reluctantly, how much can I give." I'll just say a thousand. ”

Xing Yi raised his head and laughed: "Then you are too stingy, this stone is a thousand yuan, who will sell it to you." ”

Yang Linxiang shook his head and said, "Yes, he listened to me say a thousand yuan, wrapped the stone, got up and was about to leave." ”

Xing Yi's eyes widened: "Then, how did you make a deal with him later?" ”
