It's not Sunday. Most of the people in the park during working hours are old people and children. Young people like Chang Xing are rare.
I took out the sandalwood wood that I had carved the beginning of that day, and instead of rushing to carve it, I recalled my state of mind that day, thought more clearly about the image I wanted to carve, and then continued following the traces of carving that day.
Not long after Chang Xing sat down, Lao Zhang saw him.
"The young man who was carving here came again that day. I must have told him that he was wasting good materials. I'm sorry to come here these days. Let's go and take a look. If he wastes good materials again, I will have to accuse him."
Lao Zhang said.
Lao Xiao quickly said: "Lao Zhang, please don't mess with others. They were very unhappy last time. It's just because you are an old man and I don't have the same experience as you. If you go to make trouble with others this time, they will
Maybe I won’t be polite to you anymore.”
"Then let him be rude to me. Am I still afraid of him? He is so young and is practicing with such good materials. I can't say anything about him?" Lao Zhang felt energetic and strode away from where he usually sat.
past.
Chang Xing was concentrating on carving the sandalwood in his hand at a very fast speed. He saw sawdust flying up continuously, but accurately landed in a box on the side. There was not a single sawdust on the ground. Not to mention the effect of the carving, the light
The fact that the wood chips can fall into the box so accurately is beyond the reach of ordinary carvers. The control of the carving knife in their hands has reached an extremely subtle level.
Before Lao Zhang could get closer, he could smell the fragrance of sandalwood. Knowing that Chang Xing was carving with sandalwood again, he opened his mouth and prepared to scold without even looking at the prototype in Chang Xing's hand. Who knew the mouth?
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out, as if he was frozen, and his mouth remained open.
Lao Zhang couldn't move his legs any longer, so he just stood there in a daze. He was already panicking, thinking that something was wrong with his body.
Lao Xiao packed up his things and chased after him. He was very worried that something would happen if Lao Zhang made others angry. This Lao Zhang had a stubborn temper and liked to be more serious, especially when it came to carvings. But speaking of it, this old man
He's not a bad person, and he doesn't have any bad intentions. He just thinks too highly of himself when it comes to carving, and doesn't take anyone seriously at all. When I saw Chang Xing carving with sandalwood, I felt that he was wasting good materials. It seems that in this world
Only he is qualified to use the good materials.
Unexpectedly, when I rushed over and took a look, Lao Zhang was standing there quietly and motionlessly, which was rare.
"Hey, does this old boy have quiet moments?" Lao Xiao muttered in a low voice.
But when Lao Xiao walked up to him, he realized something was wrong. Lao Zhang stood there motionless, with his mouth wide open and his eyes wide open. Only two eyeballs were moving around his body.
"Lao Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Lao Xiao pushed Lao Zhang gently with his hand. As a result, Lao Zhang's body staggered and was about to fall to one side like a log.
Lao Xiao quickly supported Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang, what's wrong with you? Has someone cast a body-holding spell?"
Lao Zhang's mouth opened wide, but he couldn't make a sound. After being touched by Lao Xiao, his body was free again, but it was just that he had been stiff for too long and his body couldn't move at all.
Lao Zhang's mouth also recovered, he kept panting, and looked around with some fear.
"Lao Zhang, what on earth is going on?" Lao Xiao was very anxious.
"I, I, don't know what happened. When I got here, I lost control of my body and couldn't even speak." Old Zhang glanced at Chang Xing.
Lao Xiao also glanced at Chang Xing: "Are you okay?"
Lao Zhang let out a long breath: "It's okay."
"It's okay, just go back." Lao Xiao said.
Lao Zhang was still a little scared: "It's really evil today."
Chang Xing didn't seem to notice what was happening around him at all. The carving knife in his hand never stopped. The buffalo on the sandalwood wood had already appeared roughly. However, Chang Xing kept holding the same carving knife without changing it.
Change and continue carving there quickly.
"Forget it, don't go look." Lao Xiao said quickly when he saw that Lao Zhang seemed a little unwilling and showed signs of moving forward.
"I'll just go over and take a look." Lao Zhang said.
"What's there to see? You don't know how to find a good piece of material and carve it yourself. Don't care what others do?" Lao Xiao said.
"You don't understand." If Lao Zhang doesn't go and take a look, he probably won't be able to sleep at night.
"Then take a look and don't bother others. It's annoying." Lao Xiao was worried that something had happened to Lao Zhang just now, and maybe he was tricked. There are countless capable people in this world, and what tricks have been done to them?
You didn't feel it at all.
Lao Xiao followed Lao Zhang, ready to stop Lao Zhang's recklessness at any time.
But this time, Lao Zhang was unexpectedly quiet. His eyes stared blankly at the carved wooden cow in Chang Xing's hand. Although it was still a rough outline, the spirit of the sculpture was already reflected.
When you see this sculpture, you feel as if you are seeing a big bull glaring at you. It may rush out at any time and give you a hard blow with the horns on its head. Only those who have actually seen a big buffalo fight can feel the rough and ferocious nature.
come out.
Lao Xiao didn't know much about carving, but he saw that the buffalo was carved very vividly and lifelike.
"What? Is the carving very good?" Lao Xiao asked in a low voice.
"Stop talking." Lao Zhang said quickly.
The carving knife in Chang Xing's hand seemed to be part of his body. The carving knife kept carving on the sandalwood quickly. The wood chips became smaller and smaller. At first they were the size of rice grains, but now they are like dust. And the wood carving in his hand
The lines are becoming more and more rounded.
When Chang Xing stopped carving, it was already past noon. Everyone in the park had gone back to have lunch. Lao Zhang and Lao Xiao were a little tired from standing, so they sat on a bench nearby. From time to time, they walked in and took a look.
I sat back down and ate some biscuits to satisfy my hunger.
Chang Xing took a breath and blew away the sawdust on the sandalwood carving in his hand. The tiny bits of disdain flew into the wooden box strangely, without falling to the ground at all. This detail was noticed by Lao Zhang and Lao Zhang on the side.
Xiao didn't see it.
Seeing that Chang Xing was about to leave, Lao Zhang hurriedly came over: "Young man, wait a minute."
"Is something wrong?" Chang Xing naturally knew about the arrival of Lao Xiao and Lao Zhang.
"Can you show me your work?" Lao Zhang asked.
"Haven't you been watching here for most of the day?" Chang Xing said.
"You are too far away to see carefully. Your carving style is a bit unique. I have never seen it before." Lao Zhang said.
"I'm just wasting wood." Chang Xing said.
Lao Zhang blushed and said quickly: "I sincerely apologize to you. I shouldn't have disturbed you in sculpting before. Your level is higher than mine. I am not qualified to point fingers in front of you."
Lao Xiao came over and explained to Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang has a stubborn temper. Carving is more important than his life. Don't blame him for disturbing you before. In fact, he doesn't have any bad intentions."
"Okay, hurry up and watch. I have to rush back. My son is about to get out of school. I have to go back and make dinner." Chang Xing said.
"Young man, are you not at work?" Lao Xiao asked.
Chang Xing nodded: "I come from the countryside. I don't have a job."
"Then are you willing to go to school and become a teacher? Your carving skills are very high and you should pass on your skills." Lao Zhang, who was admiring the carvings, raised his head and said.
Chang Xing shook his head: "I think it's pretty good now."
"That's true. If you have this ability, you won't have to worry about supporting your family anywhere." Lao Xiao said.
"Artists should not think about money, money, money, or they will lose their status." Lao Zhang said.
"How can you artists drink air for food?" Lao Xiao said.
Chang Xing didn't say much. He took the buffalo back from Lao Zhang, put it in the box, twisted the bag and went back.
"The masters are among the people!" Lao Zhang sighed as he looked at Chang Xing's back.
Lao Xiao's focus was on other aspects: "Lao Zhang, you couldn't move or speak just now. Don't you think it has something to do with this young man?"
"How is that possible? He didn't even look back at that time, he was carving all the time. How could he have time to take care of me?" Lao Zhang said.
"I always feel that this young man is different from ordinary people. His eyes are particularly sharp, as if he can break through everything." Lao Xiao said.
"That's how you feel. It's normal for the engraver's eyes to be sharper than the average person's." Lao Zhang said.
When Wu Wanyi went to work today, Director Sheng Haoyuan seemed much more enthusiastic than before. Usually when Wu Wanyi met Sheng Haoyuan and greeted him, Sheng Haoyuan always acted like a director. But on this day, Sheng Haoyuan took the initiative to greet Wu Wanyi.
Ask about the cold and warmth.
"Wanyi, did Sheng Chu take the initiative to greet you just now? This guy must have known that your lover could talk to Mayor Yu, so he looked at you differently. You married a good man, and you can go out of the hall and get out of the kitchen. Please
After all, you still have the vision. When Xiao Chang was still working as a farmer, you locked him up. Otherwise, when he gets rich, you won’t be the only one being robbed." Wu Yuting was more kind to Wu Wanyi than before.
Chen Yanyang also came over: "Wanyi, I heard that your wife can get a color TV from Xiangjiang. Can you help me get a color TV too."
Wu Wanyi glanced at Wu Yuting, and Wu Yuting immediately apologized and said to Wu Wanyi: "It's all my talk. I ended up bald if I wasn't careful."
"It's okay. If you need anything, tell me. I'll go back and talk to my lover. However, it's limited to people in our office. If there are more people, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact." Wu Wanyi said.
"That's right, not too many. When it affects you, you will be in trouble if something happens." Wu Yuting said.
Because of this incident, Wu Wanyi's status in the unit suddenly improved, and chores in the office were no longer pushed to her alone.
