Soon a distance, Chen Yanbo and his party came to the carpenter's house, the carpenter of Yongfeng Town is surnamed Huang, known as 'Huang Old Man', this person is more than half a year old, but he is still a carpenter, it seems that it is no longer to support his family, in order to be able to build better wooden tools, Taishan is an anxious son, since he came to the door, why not knock on the door, Chen Yanbo said: "It's still a little polite, otherwise that" Before Chen Yanbo finished speaking, Taishan had already opened the door, Taishan hurriedly entered the house to find people everywhere, and no one was found anywhere, the carpenter's door was very ordinary, but the inner courtyard was indeed very beautiful, exquisite wooden chairs, beds, ink lines, adzes, chisels and other tools at a glance, Taishan touched his head and said: "Strange, what about people, old man Huang, old man Huang."

"Who is calling me" There was a voice in the room, with the light of the setting sun, a person came out of the house, with scattered hair, a shabby clothes, a face full of stubble, a thin body, but the hands were particularly delicate, Taishan walked forward and sniffed with his nose, and said: "It stinks, old man Huang, you haven't taken a bath for many years, and your whole body stinks", old man Huang said: "Young man, you are still young, how can you understand life, ordinary people, how can you understand me" Chen Yanbo hurriedly stopped Taishan, for fear that Taishan would stir up his own affairs, Chen Yanbo said: "Senior, it's like this, my mother is critically ill and paralyzed and can't get out of bed, I want to build a good wheelchair, I want to push my mother out to bask in the sun every day, I don't know if the seniors are willing, I am willing to go out of as many silver as I want", the old man Huang smiled and said: "My old man Huang is not short of gold and silver treasures, these are all floating clouds for me, I look at your face, the whole body is retrograde, as for this wheelchair", Chen Yanbo said: " The younger generation's health is fine now, but I just want to give my mother hope."

Old man Huang was still hesitating, Shangguan Lingyun said: "I didn't expect the reclusive predecessors to be like this, if you can't build a good wheelchair, won't you be laughed at by the people of the world", Old Man Huang was angered by Shangguan Lingyun's words, and said: "How can I be laughed at by the heroes of the world", Shangguan Lingyun slowly paced a few steps, and said casually:" This son would rather be injured than his mother to be injured for filial piety, his arm is poisoned to save his friends and brothers, and he breaks his arm for the sake of not endangering the people of the world, and respectfully asks the seniors for this courtesy, this is filial piety and righteousness, but the seniors refuse to make a move, and they are really laughed at by the world", the old man Huang pondered for a while, and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, I think this son should take better care of himself, you are now missing an arm, and you are still thinking about others, the old man is ashamed of himself", Chen Yanbo said:" The old man Huang walked to the carriage to look at the wood, and said: "Sandalwood, Chen Jiayuan's, your Excellency is Chen Jumo's son", Chen Yanbo said: "The predecessors know my father", Huang said: "The benevolence of the Chen family is all over Yongfeng Town, how can I not know, so let's wait for me for two hours, just work hard, please watch the wooden products there" , let's say, the old man Huang lifted the whole sandalwood tree, the whole sandalwood flew into the house he came out of just now, the old man Huang followed the wood very fast, and then the door house was also closed, Taishan was surprised: "What a powerful light skill, what a strange old man", Taishan didn't expect a voice from the house "Don't gossip behind others' backs", Taishan said: "You can hear it so far away, it's really weird", Chen Yanbo said: "Let's go to the place where Huang Lao's predecessor can see his works."

Along the right-hand side, about a hundred zhang suddenly saw a pavilion garden, Chen Yanbo and his party entered the courtyard, the pavilion garden is more spectacular, all kinds of wood products, if you don't see these wood products, how do you know that the old man Huang who is not outstanding is actually a carving master, Taishan said: "Sure enough, the name is well deserved", Chen Yanbo said: "Now you should know that this old-timer is not Lang famous", Shangguan Lingyun carefully looked at the wood products here, Shangguan Haitang said: " Such exquisite wood products, even today's imperial court may not have such carving skills", Shangguan Lingyun said: "I don't know what the origin of this person is, such a high artistic means, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do it", Chen Yanbo pointed to the carving with a dragon and asked: "What is this", Shangguan Lingyun said: "I seem to have heard my father say this, this is a kiss", Chen Yanbo said: "What is a kiss", Shangguan Lingyun said: "One of the sons of the nine sons of the dragon, he is easy to swallow, that is, the shape of the beast's head on the spine of the temple." This decoration has been used now, in the ancient building, "five ridges and six beasts" can only be owned by the official, and the wood carving is a fine work, it is difficult for people to carve such a complex spiritual object now, and only a handful of carving masters in the palace can carve it out, lifelike."

Murong Xuemei said: "What a terrible animal, why do you have to carve it", Shangguan Lingyun said: "The town house is the most inseparable from the natural emperor, so the palace compound can be equipped with such spiritual objects", Murong Xuemei said: "Fortunately, I am an ordinary person, otherwise I can't sleep every day when I see this thing", Shangguan Lingyun said: "It turns out that you are afraid of ghosts", Murong Xuemei said: "Why don't you allow others to be afraid of ghosts", Shangguan Lingyun said: " What is a ghost, since ancient times people can not reach it, the so-called ghosts are made up blindly, it is not enough to believe at all, ghosts are in the heart", Taishan sighed and said: "It's so boring, I don't understand this old man every day in the face of these dead things, will he feel bored, if I was crazy, it's not as good as money, the beauty is real", Zhang hit from behind Mount Tai, Taishan said: "What I said is right, men should be for money, beauty", Chen Yanbo smiled and shook his head, said: " It's a match made in heaven, it's a perfect match."

Two hours later, the old man Huang walked out of the room, brought out a wheelchair, with a wheel, it was wooden, the whole wheelchair was wooden, the handlebar was carved with dragons and wind, the back of the chair can be straightened and shortened, and it can shelter from the sun and rain, Chen Yanbo said: "It's too fine", Shangguan Lingyun sighed after reading it, meticulously crafted, the master really deserves his reputation, and the younger generation apologized for the rude words just now", said, Shangguan Lingyun bent down respectfully, and Old Man Huang hurriedly helped Shangguan Lingyun to say:" The young owner of the first village in the world bent over to the old man, the old man really can't accept such a big gift, hurry up", Shangguan Lingyun raised his head and said: "The master knows below", Huang Old Man said: "Who doesn't know the name of the first village in the world, the jade pendant on your body was worn by Shangguan Mu back then, I had a relationship with your father", Shangguan Lingyun said: "That's really a coincidence", Taishan took out a large ingot of silver and gave it to Old Man Huang, but he didn't expect Old Man Huang to accept it, said: " Young man, when you meet someone stronger than you, you won't look down on others if you are bullied, understand", said, Old Man Huang went back to his room and said, "I won't send you to the old man, please take care of yourself."

Taishan is the second monk puzzled, said: "This old man is really strange, no matter him, go, drink and go", Taishan put the wheelchair on the carriage, several people went back to Chen's house smoothly, when he walked to Chen's house, Chen Yanbo felt that there was a different feeling in the courtyard, slowly walked through the door, came to the inner hall, Chen Yanbo was taken aback, the inner hall was full of guests, and when Chen Yanbo and his party came to the door of the inner hall, Chen Jumo walked to the door and greeted Chen Yanbo and said: "Children, come and see your uncles and uncles" , Chen Yanbo nodded and followed Chen Jumo into the house, Chen Jumo introduced to Chen Yanbo and said: "They are all friends of business, Uncle Song, the big shopkeeper of Chase Treasure Banknotes", Chen Jumo pointed to the old man who was full of jewelry, about fifty years old, and looked obese, Chen Yanbo respectfully said: "Uncle Song has worked hard", that Uncle Song said: "I didn't expect to see you for many years, Yanbo has grown so big, your arm, what's wrong", Chen Yanbo said: "The arm is not a big problem, thank you Uncle for your concern" After some acquaintance, the room full of friends Chen Yanbo got to know each other, and after the last Shangguan Lingyun and Taishan carried the wheelchair to the inner hall, Uncle Song walked to the wheelchair and looked at the wheelchair carefully, and said: "What a delicate wooden product, I don't know who it came from, Yanbo is really filial, and can build such a good wheelchair for his mother, this child is really sensible", Taishan said: "This is the wood product created by the old man Huang", Uncle Song said with interest: " I have looked for this old man several times, but he refused to build good wood products for me, I didn't expect Yan Bo to build a good wheelchair so quickly, it seems that my face is still not good", Uncle Song sighed and kept nagging, Chen Jumo patted Uncle Song on the shoulder and said: "Do you know who this is", Chen Jumo pointed to Shangguan Lingyun and asked Uncle Song, Uncle Song said: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I can't see who this young man is", Chen Jumo said: "This is the young owner of the first village in the world, the son of Shangguan Mu" , Uncle Song said: "Oh, this is the young owner", Shangguan Lingyun returned the gift with both hands, Chen Yanbo said: "Dad, let's bring my mother out, okay", Chen Jumo said: "Okay, this wheelchair is really good, I believe your mother will definitely like it", Chen Jumo and Chen Yanbo father and son took the lead, and the group followed closely behind, Chen Yanbo pushed open Chen's mother's door, and the father and son pushed the wheels into the house, and came to Chen's mother's side, the maid said: "Master, young master", Chen Yanbo said: "You go down first" Before the maid left Chen's mother's bed, Chen's mother was very happy to see the wheelchair, and she didn't know what to say excitedly, Chen Yanbo said: "Mother, how about trying this wheelchair", Chen Yanbo and Chen Jumo put Chen's mother on the wheelchair, Chen's mother felt very good and comfortable.
