"Third Grandpa, Third Grandpa, happy event, big happy event!"
There was a sound of someone arriving, and after the door was knocked open, a young man in his early twenties with a bare-chested crew cut ran in from the backyard.
Seeing the person coming, Shen Yu first let out a light sigh and then was slightly startled.
It's not that Shen Yu knows the other person, but that this guy has such a personality that he looks like a living Li Kui.
This man has a leopard-like head and eyes, a full face of whiskers, dark skin and muscles all over his body, plus he is very tall, nearly 1.9 meters tall. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Fei was reborn and Li Kui was reincarnated.
"Be careful! Watch the ground!"
Shen Yu suddenly shouted a warning to the visitor.
I don't know who dropped an unopened bottle of mineral water on the ground, and this bottle of water happened to be on the running route of "Li Kui".
It's a pity that the other party didn't hear it at all, and accidentally stepped on the bottle with his right foot.
"Ouch."
Originally, this guy was running from the backyard as fast as lightning. Now he stepped on the mineral water bottle on the ground and couldn't stop the car. He leaned to the right, and then hit his head towards the counter in the center of the store. .
The counter in the lobby on the first floor of Wanbao Building is not made of wood, and Shen Yu doesn't know the specific material, but it is inlaid with marble on three sides. If it hits the cervical spine, it will definitely break.
What's even more dangerous is that this "living Li Kui" is also carrying a "guy" in his hand. He holds a jade carving knife in his left hand and a small copper hammer in his right hand.
At this time, the people next to him didn't dare to get close to him even if they wanted to stop him, because if he didn't do it right, not only would he not be able to save the person, but the person who saved him might be injured first.
At this moment, Shen Yu suddenly moved.
The distance of three meters was reached in a blink of an eye. He first reached out and grabbed the right shoulder of this "living Li Kui". This sinking did not use all his strength, but only blocked the opponent's forward speed.
At this time, the shoulders of the two people had become a straight line, and Shen Yu did not take a breath. He stepped heavily on the ground with his right foot, and then quickly made a "leaning to drink" posture in Drunken Boxing, using the inertia of the body to use his own Use your left shoulder to hit your opponent's right shoulder.
The two shoulders collided, and "Li Kui" flew out immediately.
This rescue action was done with perfect accuracy.
Even when the opponent is flying away, Shen Yu can still slash the opponent's wrist with his right hand, and then use his left hand to snatch the carving knife from the opponent's hand.
This time Li Kui was completely safe, because there was a large open space to his left.
As he hit the ground with a thud, "Li Kui" let out a painful cry.
It turned out that after he landed, the bronze hammer in his right hand flew out and hit him on the forehead. In addition, because the ground of Wanbao Tower was very light, "Li Kui" slid on the ground as if skating for five or six meters until he hit a pendulum. A shelf full of jade jewelry is enough to stop the body.
However, this shelf was unlucky. The emeralds placed on it shook and made a loud noise before falling to the ground.
Fortunately, many of the shop assistants in the room had quick eyesight and quick hands. Some caught one piece, and some caught two or three. However, more than a dozen jade ornaments and ornaments still fell to the ground, and then they made a clanging sound.
"Zheng Yu, why are you not practicing jade in the backyard and running to the shop like crazy? If Xiao Shen hadn't saved you, your head would have been smashed into your neck just now."
Although Zheng Congyun spoke harshly, his eyes were full of care. While scolding him, he walked over quickly to see if the flat-headed young man had been injured.
Li Kui, no, he should be Zheng Yu's simple and honest young man. He stood up like a carp. He first smiled gratefully at Shen Yu to express his gratitude. Then he smiled at Zheng Congyun with great joy and said, "Grandpa Third, what did Er Ni do to you just now?" I called, and she said that her father had agreed to my proposal of marriage, Third Grandpa, I have a wife, I really have a wife!"
The honest young man named Zheng Yu was very happy, but the facial expressions of the male clerks in the hall were tense, and everyone was trying not to laugh.
Shen Yu also noticed that this young man named Zheng Yu might be more straightforward, because most people would just feel happy when encountering such a thing, and would not yell to share their joy with their elders.
Only a pure-hearted person would do this.
Zheng Congyun's old face turned red, "Just get engaged. Is it worth being so happy to have a wife? I, the son of the Zheng family, are still afraid of not being able to find a wife? Now go back to the backyard. If you don't finish carving the jade statue of Zhongli, the Eight Immortals Han, today." , don’t eat at night! You can’t drink water! You can’t even take a sip!"
Zheng Yu looked aggrieved, "No, Third Grandpa, one-third of that jade sculpture is still unfinished. If you don't let me eat until it's finished, wouldn't I not even be able to eat tomorrow's breakfast?
"Originally, my grandson came here to make you happy. Erni also said that she wanted to give birth to a big fat boy for me, so that our old Zheng family can continue the family lineage."
Phew!
First someone in the crowd couldn't help laughing, and then everyone started laughing.
Zheng Yu couldn't figure out why everyone was laughing, so he could only stand there blankly, rubbing his forehead that was hit by a copper hammer. He looked at this and that with his big eyes, with a look of confusion on his face.
Even Shen Yu smiled. This young man was as naive as his younger brother Li Tietou.
But Shen Yu likes to deal with such people, because such people will not do things to cheat their friends secretly.
"Why are you still standing here? It's embarrassing. Go back to the backyard to cut jade. How will you support your wife if you don't have any skills?" Zheng Congyun shook his head with a wry smile and continued to chase people away.
"Oh, I understand, Third Grandpa."
Zheng Yu said softly, and then walked toward the backyard obediently. This time he walked very slowly and did not dare to run.
After taking two steps, Zheng Yu seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly turned around and hugged Shen Yu, "Thank you to this big brother for saving me just now. My name is Zheng Yu. I can't repay you for saving your life. If you want to make jade or jade in the future, If you need help from someone, just come to the store and call me."
Shen Yu handed the carving knife in his hand back to Zheng Yu, and then smiled, "You don't need to call me brother, just call me by my name. My name is Shen Yu. I'll get better when I recover. Okay, I may have to renovate my ancestral home recently. By then, You definitely need help, and if you need someone, I will definitely come and call you."
Zheng Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and instantly felt like he was being taken seriously. He clapped his chest and said, "Brother Shen, let's make an agreement. You must come and call me when the time comes. Okay, I have to go dig jade, otherwise there will be no dinner." Eat."
"Go ahead, carving jade is a good skill for eating. Don't let Mr. Zheng's hard work go down."
"I know, Brother Shen!"
Zheng Yu happily walked towards the backyard carrying the carving knife and copper hammer, his steps seemed much lighter than before.
"Xiao Shen, there is a rumor that Mr. Shen is a martial arts master. After seeing your skills today, I know that the rumors are true! Thank you. If you hadn't saved this fool, he would have been in a vegetative state.
"This child is my eldest brother's grandson. It is not good to kill him. My nephew died of a sudden illness that year. This child Zheng Yu is a posthumous child. His mother left him and remarried someone else soon after he was born.
"After that, I have been living with my eldest brother. When he was 14 years old, my eldest brother got cancer, late-stage liver cancer, and passed away in Hexi half a year later. This child has since become an orphan.
"I have no choice but to take this child into my home and raise him. You also know that my ancestors in the Zheng family have always dealt with jade. My eldest brother Zhuoyu's skills are superb and proficient. Zheng Yu's child is also like my eldest brother. I learned the art of carving jade.
"It is said that the sky and the earth have the sun and the moon, and jade carvings are divided into yin and yang. He is proficient in yin carving, yang carving, line carving, round carving, openwork carving, hollow carving, and even miniature carving.
"Furthermore, this child has a pure heart and is not easily distracted when doing things. Whether it is large or small items, whether it is jade or jade ornaments, he can pick them up at his fingertips. He has reached the state of 'applying skills according to the material'. Speaking of which, it is better than the old man's jade making." The level is even three points better."
Carved jade is what the older generation calls it, and it is now called carving jade.
The ancient jade carver is also the current jade carver.
In ancient times, the word "zhuo" itself specifically refers to the secondary processing of jade.
"Shuowen" explains Zhuo as "curing jade".
There is also a saying in the Three-Character Classic: "If jade is not polished, it cannot be used as a tool." This famous saying comes from the "Book of Rites·Xue Ji".
Li Shimin also said: Although jade has beauty, it lies between the stones and is not worthy of careful workmanship. It is no different from rubble. This means that beautiful jade is no different from bricks and tiles without being carved.
Shen Yu looked at Zheng Yu's back, as if he suddenly thought of something, and his starry eyes lit up instantly.
"Fortunately, I have quick hands and eyes, otherwise it would be a pity if such a fine green sculpture fell to pieces!"
Pei Yu'an next to him suddenly muttered softly.
Shen Yu looked sideways and saw that Pei Yu'an was holding a finished carved jade ornament in the hand of Pei Yu'an in the traditional shape of "two dragons playing with a pearl".
At this time, a group of dark blue pearl-sized precious light had already settled three inches above the jade sculpture.
