All beauty is nothing, and the cruelty of reality is true. I'm a ghostly madman, and the story I'm going to tell you today is called "The Perfect Sculpture"!

Maybe it's because I've always been poor, and I can't say I'm poor, I can't say I'm a person who has no money. I, who have never had more than two digits of pocket pocket since I was a child, and have never had more than four digits in the bank, have never understood some of the special preferences of those who have money.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that this likes antique collections, so a small bottle, a small jar that is the ancient people flower arrangement, some things to wash the pen, in addition to looking a little better, a little more historical, what is the use? To fulfill your three wishes, if you have such a thing and sell it for a large sum of money, this is understandable, but if you spend a lot of money on such a thing, I don't understand, this is not a typical money burning!

We can still understand the collection of antique calligraphy and paintings, that thing is still somewhat historical and ornamental, but what I can't figure out the most is that there are still people who collect big stones, yes, big stones! I have seen someone spend 200,000 yuan to buy a big black stone, in my opinion this stone is nothing special except for being very dark, very heavy, and cold to the touch, and the buyer still loves him, as if he has found a baby bump, touching it, I want to ask: "Dude, don't you freeze your hands!".

Compared with the collection of large stones, I can understand those who collect tree roots, after all, these roots are to be processed will be made into more good-looking shapes, placed with a very decorative effect, the most precious thing is that because the shape of the root carving is based on the shape of the natural formation of the roots, so there are almost no two shapes exactly the same root carving works.

This technology is difficult to say, it is simple to say that it is very simple, in general, it is more popular, there are many people who know this technology, even in the private sector there are many masters in this area.

Xiaowen's father is the best of these folk masters, the root carving technology is very solid, the carved things can be described as lifelike, as if it is the same as the real thing, the carved tiger is not like a cat at all, the carved dragon is not like a snake at all, the carving technology is so good!

Xiaowen has been nurtured by his father since he was a child, and he is also very talented in this area, and he learns everything very quickly. The carving technique is very "blue out of the blue and better than the blue" posture, soon the father and son two of the great name spread! Many people came to buy their root carving works, of course, these to buy are some very rich people, those who are poor and can't eat, will not wait for nothing to come to buy this thing.

The price of many things for buyers is also very high, but didn't I say it, the people who come to buy are some rich people, and they can afford how much they want, mainly depending on whether they like it or not!

The business is so good, but it is very time-consuming to make this thing, and some works even take several months to carve and complete, so Xiaowen's family often has a shortage of supply.

Like all shops that sell such collectibles, there is a root carving in Xiaowen's home that he refuses to sell for any amount of money, which is the so-called "treasure of the town store" ,There is also such a one in Xiaowen's home,There is a dark grid on the wall of the warehouse in the backyard,According to Xiaowen's father, this thing is hidden in the dark compartment and preserved,Because it is a wood product that is easy to weather, it must be sealed and preserved,Can't often take it out to watch,So from childhood to size,I've only heard of such a root carving work at home,But I've never seen it.。

Not only that, Xiaowen's father also asked Xiaowen to keep this secret, not to tell outsiders that there was a super perfect root carving work hidden at home, Xiaowen was very obedient, and never told anyone else this secret.

Before he died, Xiaowen's father broke out with everyone, including his own wife, called Xiaowen to the bedside, and repeatedly instructed him not to take out the perfect collection at home until he had to do so! After that, he called his wife to the bedside and left his wife, who had to do some things, and then passed away.

My father passed away, but we said that Xiaowen's craftsmanship was no worse than his father's, so the family's root carving business was still thriving, in order to promote the family's works, but also for his father's dream of being the "first person to be the root carving", Xiaowen signed up for an international root carving competition.

Thousands of root carving masters from all over the world gathered together for a fierce competition, and in the end, only five people advanced to the top five to compete for the final top three, Xiaowen's results happened to rank fifth, this game is very important to him, because the score of the game is to add the results of the semi-finals, Xiaowen must win the championship this time, in order to have a chance to enter the top three.

This time, the requirement is to give each root carving artist a week to create or find the most perfect root carving artwork, and everyone will judge and vote for scoring. It's not hard to create a piece of work in a week's time, but it's simply impossible to create a perfect piece!

As for looking for a root carving work, Xiao Wen didn't think about it, because those really good works would not be sold! Time passed quickly, and seeing that it was only the last day before the time to hand over the work, Xiao Wen looked at a large number of tree roots in front of him, but he couldn't figure out how to go under the knife, and what kind of root carving should be made to be absolutely perfect? Xiao Wen couldn't figure out how to think about it.

Suddenly he thought that there was not a perfect root carving in his home, and it should be no problem for me to take a look at it to find inspiration, so Xiaowen followed his father's deathbed explanation, and asked his mother to find a way to open the dark grid, wanting to see what this most perfect root carving looked like.

The competition was held as scheduled, but Xiaowen only sent his own entries and did not show up in person, but it was Xiaowen's mother who was present. The result of the competition is no suspense Xiaowen's root carving work won the championship, and also won the first place in this competition, the podium is Xiaowen's mother on behalf of the leader, seeing this symbolizes the highest honor of the root carving artist trophy, Xiaowen's mother cried bitterly.

Coming back from the competition, Xiaowen's mother rejected a lot of buyers who wanted to buy Xiaowen's root carving work, put this root carving in the living room and put the trophy in front of the root carving, Xiaowen's mother said to the root carving with tears in her eyes: "Xiaowen, your work won the championship, won everyone's affirmation, and won the honor, but my mother lost you!"

In fact, Xiaowen's family does not have the most perfect root carving, hidden in the dark is a package of medicinal powder, after this medicinal powder is taken, this person will become a lifelike root carving work, the so-called most perfect is the most vigorous and energetic, then the most vigorous and energetic of course will not be a tree root, it should be a living talent, right!
