Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Dream of Huangliang

Yan Shuisheng was stunned, got up and walked in front of Lu Dazhuang, knelt down and said sadly: "Master, I still have a certain learning! I want to learn more from you, my aunt's body is not good, just let me touch the side and serve you, okay?"

Lu Dazhuang shook his head, got up to help him up, and sighed: "Son, will it be a three-year apprentice, when the ancestor Lu Ban studied art for three years, and since then, we have this rule in our industry." I watched the craftsmanship learned, and when I opened the cabinet for the old horse's grandson and daughter-in-law, I saw the craftsmanship in it. Uncle was reluctant to stay, so he deliberately stayed for half a year. Now the craftsmanship is enough to eat, the uncle can't stay longer, and the father and mother have been seeing it for a long time, and they have to go home to watch. ”

Yan Shuisheng's nose was sour, and he nodded solemnly.

Three years of getting along, even if it is a stone, there are feelings, although Lu Dazhuang is sometimes grumpy, but his heart is warm, not to mention anything else, other families don't see meat a few times a year, since Yan Shuisheng came, he went to the butcher shop every once in a while to pull some meat back and make up for him.

Although it was hard to learn art, he didn't lose anything in his food. He knew what his uncle's salary was, and although it was much better than that of ordinary Zhuang families, he couldn't afford to eat like this. In the past three years, almost all of Lu Dazhuang's wages have been put into the family's food. If it weren't for my aunt in the field, some of the output would have to be moved.

Now that he has learned the craft, he is embarrassed to continue to stay and mix rice. Moreover, what my uncle said is right, he is now a man, and he has to take on the responsibility of taking care of the family, and now that he has learned the craft, he should naturally go home to take care of his father and mother, which is his duty.

Suddenly, Changying ran in from outside with a wooden basin and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Shui......sheng!" Are you going back?"

In three years, Changying has become a slim girl. Under the teaching of her aunt, now she cooks and cleans, knits female red, and is proficient in everything, coupled with the conditions of the family, the matchmakers nearby have broken the threshold of the family, but she has not seen any of them.

Yan Shuisheng naturally knew why she refused to marry, looking at her complaining eyes, he couldn't help blurting out: "Sister Changying, I'll come back to see you......" Halfway through speaking, he glanced at Lu Dazhuang, whose face was dark, and added: "With my uncle and aunt." ”

Her father was there, Changying couldn't say anything, her eyes were red, and she turned around and ran back to the back room.

Lu Dazhuang sighed, got up and said to Yan Shuisheng: "Tomorrow morning, go with me to the gathering." Wake up early and go to bed early. So saying, he took the cigarette pouch and pot and went out.

Yan Shuisheng looked in the direction of the room and sat down. He knew what his uncle was worried about, and his uncle knew about his relationship with Changying, but if he told his uncle at this time, he would definitely not agree.

He has nothing now, he has no long things, he still learned his craft from his uncle, and he has not earned a family business, so he can't give Changying any promises. It's not that his uncle looks down on him, but it's his responsibility as a father to try to pick a good in-law for his daughter.

Uncle likes himself, otherwise he wouldn't have rejected so many good family affairs, this is leaving himself a chance! This time out of the school, it means that he is going to live alone, Yan Shuisheng clenched his fists. The best age for a girl is a few years, and there is not much time left for him, three years! Even if it is Changying, he has to earn a family business in three years, so that Changying's sister can pass through the door in a beautiful way! This is the deadline he gave himself, and it is also a promise to Changying's sister.

After living at his uncle's house for the last month, Yan Shuisheng, as before, filled the water tank early every day, fed the pigs and chickens, swept the yard clean, and did some housework within his ability.

My aunt also knew that his return was approaching, and she made food for him every day, but every time he saw the resentful eyes of Changying's sister, he couldn't swallow it.

In the last month, his uncle also taught him the craft of boiling fish maw glue at the bottom of the box. Fish maw glue is an heirloom craft of carpenters because it is an important factor in the higher level of carpenter's skills.

Fish maw glue is very versatile, it can be used to bond musical instruments, it can be used to make bows and arrows, and naturally it can also be used to bond wooden objects. Mortise and tenon is the most important skill of a carpenter, and dark tenon is the high-end skill in mortise and tenon. The dark tenon is the secret skill of the palace craftsmen, and there are not many folk legends, and the dark tenon structure of the uncle will only be three or five kinds, but each one is exquisite and abnormal.

The difficulty of making dark tenon is much greater than that of open tenon, which requires the combination of mortise and tenon to be tightly sealed, and the combination of dark tenon and open tenon is absolutely necessary. Although the dark tenon is more delicate than the open tenon, because after all, the two parts are not as deeply bonded together as the open tenon, and the fish maw glue is an important means to solve this problem.

After passing on such a craft to him, his uncle really taught him, Yan Shuisheng was very grateful, so in the last month, he tried his best to help his uncle's family, in order to repay the kindness of his uncle's family.

However, there is always separation when we get together, and the three-year return date has arrived. Uncle went to get two catties of good wine, officially drank with him, as a farewell, the next morning, he carried his bags, kowtowed to his uncle and aunt to say goodbye, and went out to prepare to go home.

Walking to the entrance of the village, Changying's shouting suddenly came from behind him, Yan Shuisheng turned around, but saw Changying running over panting. Standing still and waiting for her to come closer, Changying shyly pulled his hand over, put something down, and turned around and ran away.

Yan Shuisheng looked down, but it was a thin sachet, he looked up, but saw Changying standing in the distance waving at him.

A smile appeared on his face, Yan Shuisheng solemnly put the sachet into his arms, waved his hand vigorously at Changying, turned around and strode towards the official road.

A mirror shattering sound suddenly woke Fengyun up, and when he looked around, he saw that he was still in the forest, sitting in the treetops, and the bark rope around his waist seemed to have just been tied. The sudden change of the scene made him a little in a trance, and he couldn't tell whether reality or illusion was real, did he become Yan Shuisheng, or did Yan Shuisheng become him?

The rough touch of the bark between his fingers told him that this was reality, but a pair of steady, unshaky hands told him that nothing in the dream seemed unreal.

Fengyun doesn't understand, is it Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies?

If it was a dream, why could I still dream of myself dreaming?

Maybe only Christopher Nolan can figure it all out?

After a long time, as Yan Shuisheng's memory slowly faded, he was withdrawn from the dream, and three years passed in the dream, but in this world, it seemed that only a moment had passed.

Raising his hand and looking at the palm of his hand, the original list of skills has become like this:

Combat-oriented skill: Slash LV1 (1/100)+.

Life-oriented skills: Fishing and Hunting II.LV1 (15/200)+;

Climb LV1 (87/100)+;

Collect LV1(65/100)+;

Cooking LV1 (93/100)+;

Carpenter II.LV1(0/200)+;

Stone Art LV1 (27/100)+;

Pottery LV (6/100)+.

The original carpentry skills have become a second-order skill carpenter, which means that he has officially become a carpenter!

Until now, Fengyun still felt a little unrealistic, Yan Shuisheng's world was too real, and he couldn't figure out if he had passed through another time trip in his dream, or if it was just a realistic dream.

This goes back to the boring question, who am I and who am I?

People are made up of memories, and if memories exist, does that prove that person exists?

The question is somewhat esoteric, but also somewhat useless. However, he preferred to believe that it was the real world, because there were some people he was familiar with, Huang Yuanwai, who was rich and benevolent, Aunt Li, who was enthusiastic and wanted to talk to Yan Shuisheng, Uncle who was knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted, Uncle who loved him, and of course, the simple and lovely Changying girl.

Perhaps, in that world, it may not be so unacceptable to live a dull life with Changying girls, right?

Slipping down from the tree, perhaps because of the psychological effect, Fengyun felt that his movements were a little rusty.

Xiaobai was sleeping under the tree, and when he heard the movement, he just looked up at him, lowered his head and went back to sleep.

Like an old friend who hadn't seen him for three years reunited, Fengyun was very happy, reached out to pick it up, rubbed the soft fur on its body with his face, and laughed: "It's good to see you again!"

Xiaobai was disturbed from sleeping, very confused, and struggled with some disgust, but it was useless, and he could only be rubbed around by Fengyun as a doll.

After playing with Xiaobai for a while, Fengyun put it down and looked up at the surrounding environment.

Habitually looking at the towering trees around him with the eyes of a carpenter, Fengyun was very excited, this is all good material! In Yan Shuisheng's world, the imperial court has control over the entry of axes into the forest, and no one cares about this world! He can completely build a house out of wood!

With this thought, he couldn't stay any longer, and got up and walked around, looking at the woods, and from time to time he reached out and touched them.

I haven't lived a naked life for three years, and Fengyun is a little unaccustomed to it, but maybe it's because he's perverted, and it's just a little bit of adjustment.

These straight poplars are good rafters! Cut down with an axe, flatten with an adze, and dry in the sun, a little sawing can produce a lot of board materials, making tables, chairs, benches, boxes, cabinets, and cabinets are all easy to use!

Alas! There are just no tools! Fengyun's mood is a little gloomy, but he gets better again in an instant, it's okay! We have skills! Go back and save some growth points to advance the stone art, learn some advanced skills of stonemasons, and make some stone tools, which should be able to solve the problem.

Moreover, I don't need to make such a beautiful house now! I can just get a simple shed, which is enough to shelter from the wind and rain!

To build a shed, just plant a few stakes and make a roof, it is not very difficult, and there is a stone axe, as a carpenter, there is an axe, it is enough for him to make a lot of things.

Carrying a stone axe, Fengyun walked into the forest with great dignity, found a suitable poplar tree and cut it with an axe. After three years of living in the civilized world, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Don't be a monkey! Lao Tzu wants to sleep in bed! Fengyun gritted his teeth and roared in his heart, while struggling to cut down the big tree, if you shave your hair, it's a bald strong version of AV!

Sorry for the spicy eyes......
