Otherworldly Carver

"Collect the trash!"

Ye Ling stayed in the workshop, looking back and forth at the cracked jadeite, and hearing the loud shouts outside, couldn't help being a little distracted.

"Collect the rags, collect the rags!"

Strange to say, this old voice is particularly penetrating.Frowning slightly, Ye Ling walked out of the workshop, just as Wen Yu was standing at the door, about to open it.Ye Ling blinked and asked, "What do you want to sell?"

"I don't need some old textbooks and old magazines." Wen Yu paused and laughed, "Did it bother you?"

"No, it's just a little strange." Ye Ling smiled, "The voice is so loud, it seems to be shouting at our house."

Wen Yu blushed, holding the doorknob as if hesitating.After a while, he opened the door, and an old man's face came in with his head stuck out, square face, thick eyebrows, some wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, gray hair Mediterranean; a pair of old eyes wandered back and forth in the room, as if looking for something.

Then the old man saw Ye Ling standing there, his old eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked curious.

Ye Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, guessing in his heart whether this was an orc from the big family or someone sent by the Carver Association, waiting for the other party to speak first.

"Do you have old newspapers? You can change toilet paper..." The old man looked at Ye Ling sincerely and asked.

Why is this old man's painting style so weird?Ye Ling shook his head and replied, "No."

"Ahem..." Wen Yu held his forehead, "There are no old newspapers at home..."

Then Wen Yu took out a bundle of books from behind and asked, "Do you want these?"

"Yes... but..." The old man's gaze was still fixed on Ye Ling.

"Since we want, let's go out and negotiate the price." Wen Yu smiled gently, pushed the old man out, and closed the door.

"Grandpa Tuliang!" Wen Yu was both amused and helpless, "I knew Uncle Cheng couldn't stop you..."

"Where can that kid control me?" Tu Liang twitched his mouth, moved his eyebrows, and his old eyes shone brightly. He patted Wen Yu's shoulder and said, "I didn't expect that the little orc man you hid was so cute, with good eyesight." !"

Wen Yu blushed, lowered her head and smiled slightly.

"Hey, are you still shy? Such an attitude can't keep the sub-orcs!" Tu Liang said seriously, "An outstanding and good-looking sub-orc like him has to be watched carefully! If I were ten years younger, I would be ashamed Pursue him!"

"Grandpa Tuliang, even if you are ten years younger, you are still 88..." Wen Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

"88 is still old? Tell you boy, I am eighteen this year and seventeen next year!" Unsatisfied, he slapped Wen Yu again, and Tu Liang's expression became serious, "Speaking of which, you went to the quarry today? Want to bet on jadeite for that Little Asian orc man?"

"Yes." Wen Yu frowned.

"The commotion in the morning was really big, but I received the notification right away." Tu Liang snorted coldly, "That Mo Si from the Lan family really has the ability to evacuate half of the entire quarry! "

"Grandpa Tuliang," Wen Yu pursed his lips, "Is there any jade that meets the requirements in the organization?"

"If you need it, of course!" Tu Liang said with a frown, "The Lan family's trick is too ruthless! That Mo Si is also stupid enough, the wool he bought for the Lan family at one time is enough for the Lan family to last for several years, he is not afraid Lan Bao unloads the mill and kills the donkey!"

"I don't care about the Lan family." Wen Yu glanced behind him, "I'm worried that even if I get the jadeite, I won't be able to explain the source of the jadeite to Ye Ling. If I tell him the existence of the organization at this time, it may affect his performance .”

"Hey, look at your doting little eyes! I feel sour at my age!" Tu Liang said half-jokingly, "Haven't you ever thought that it would be more beneficial for you if your Ye Ling lost? "

Wen Yu was slightly taken aback, then immediately frowned and shook his head, saying, "I will do my best to help him win!"

"You don't like sub-orc people with your character..." Tu Liang frowned and murmured in a low voice, "You look quite obedient, but you are as stubborn as your father..."

With a faint smile, Wen Yu pretended not to hear the words just now, and thought about it seriously: "I have never withdrawn the emeralds within the organization in these years, and this time my requirements are not high. The size of the carving is enough."

"This request is really not high..." Tu Liang raised his eyebrows, "The quality is decent? Are you sure he will win? Let me tell you, the Carver Association plans to publicize it with great fanfare this time, and I am afraid that many people will come Watch this competition. It's good that the kid has confidence, but don't take it lightly."

"A lot of people will come to see this competition?" Wen Yu was a little surprised, "What's the idea of ​​the Sculptors Association?"

"What else could be the idea?" Tu Liang snorted coldly, "It's just to warn others! I have been guarding the door of the Sculptors Association for so many years. I don't know what the old guys in the association are thinking? This time there is such a big commotion in the Lan family. They are all able to ignore it, it seems that they are going all out! Even if the emerald market suffers a little loss, those old guys will not let such an outlier like Ye Ling exist!"

Wen Yu pursed her lips and lowered her head, her expression became more solemn.

"In my opinion, the Carver Association and the major families are already rotten from the inside out, and the young and talented carvers are becoming less and less pleasing to the eye!" Tu Liang continued, "The sub-orc man from the Lan family is considered obedient. , also comes from a big family, and he is still envied and hated behind his back, not to mention that your family Ye Ling has no background at all and is so arrogant! But boy! If he is really as powerful as you said, then he is indeed arrogant capital!"

Sighing, Wen Yu raised his head and asked, "When can I get the jadeite?"

"Tomorrow, don't worry." Tu Liang's old face burst into a smile, and he hugged Wen Yu's shoulders and comforted him, "Just take good care of your sub-orc man, you boy, and leave the emerald matter to me!"

"Okay." Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.

"It's late, I have to go." Tu Liang picked up the old book on the ground and whispered, "I'll come to you early tomorrow morning."

"Thank you." Wen Yu said seriously.

"Boy... I watched you grow up, thank you..." Tu Liang smiled and touched Wen Yu's face at last, turned and left.

After Tu Liang left, Wen Yu returned to the house.

As soon as he entered, he saw Ye Ling leaning against the door, looking at him with a smile.

"What's the matter? Wasn't you busy just now?" Wen Yu was worried, and forced himself to ask, "Didn't you say that you have a way? Can this piece of jade be carved? Let's hear it..."

"It's not sculpture, it's..." Ye Ling paused for a while, and decided to ask Wen Yu first, "I won't tell you first. Tell me first, who is that old man just now?"

"He?" Wen Yu didn't intend to hide from Ye Ling, and said with a smile, "He is my very important elder, who has always taken care of me before."

"Then why did he pretend to be a junk collector?" Ye Ling asked, "Could it be that you are hiding something from me?"

"Actually..." After hesitating for a while, Wen Yu decided not to say anything. He looked at Ye Ling and replied, "There are some things I didn't tell you, but I swear, I have decided to be honest with you. It's just... not now, Let’s wait until you finish the test.”

"Afraid I'll be distracted?"

"Yes..." Wen Yu nodded honestly.

"Wen Yu..." Ye Ling stepped forward suddenly, put his arms around Wen Yu's neck, and leaned on Wen Yu's shoulder.

He was originally only a little shorter than Wen Yu, but when they hugged each other like this, they were tightly attached to each other.Wen Yu's face flushed, and he paused for a moment with both hands, then tightly hugged Ye Ling's waist, and at the same time he was glad that Wen Ran was not at home at this time.

Time, one second, one second, just stopped.The two embracing each other in the room could only hear each other's breathing.

The afternoon sun is extremely warm, like a gentle hand caressing everyone's forehead.Wen Yu closed his eyes unconsciously, recalling the day he met Ye Ling.

That day was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, but it became extraordinary because of meeting Ye Ling.For some reason, Wen Yu suddenly remembered the soft touch of Ye Ling's lips that day, and his face flushed even more.

"Wen Yu..."

After being taken aback for a while, Wen Yu replied: "I am..."

"I know you are worried about me, but you really don't need it, you really don't need it..." Ye Ling's voice was serious and firm, "I understand what you are doing, and I also know that a complete piece of jade will give me a better chance of winning, but now I also know the situation very well, where is it so easy to get a piece of emerald? So you listen to me, there is really no need..."

Wen Yu couldn't help laughing all of a sudden.

Letting go, Wen Yu's tone trembled slightly with a little excitement: "Are you worried about me?"

Ye Ling nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, it's not a black market." Wen Yu replied with a smile, "It's a reliable way, and nothing will happen."

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Ye Ling said with a sigh of relief: "That's good..."

"Also, even if emeralds are rare, you can sell them for money if you carve them, so don't worry." Wen Yu comforted after thinking for a while, "I have confidence in you."

These words reached Ye Ling's heart, Ye Ling was really relieved and nodded slightly.He understood Wen Yu's feelings for him, but he didn't want Wen Yu to take risks just to get the jadeite.At worst, just stop carving in the future, Ye Ling is not afraid.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved." Ye Ling thought for a while and said, "If there is a whole piece of emerald carving, that would be great."

"It will be delivered tomorrow morning." Wen Yu looked calm and calm, and he was really not worried at all.

Ye Ling paused, showing a gentle smile.

blue house...

Mosi sat on the sofa in Lan's house, unable to hide the smugness on his face.Today, he swept back all the emerald-bearing materials from the gambling quarry, and even gambled a satisfactory amount of emeralds for Lan Xi. He is a great contributor to the Lan family!

If Lan Xi was willing to sit beside him and listen to him speak well instead of staying alone in the studio, Mosi really hoped to tell Lan Xi that Wen Yu bet out the best imperial green today.He will describe how beautiful and regrettable that piece of top-quality imperial green is. Those fine and dense cracks just spread like that, destroying a treasure in one go.

Thinking of Wen Yu's slight disappointment, Mo Si almost laughed out loud!Hundreds of thousands of Dimas just disappeared, which is not a small sum for a poor man like Wen Yu!

If it wasn't for Lan Baker sitting across from him, Moss might really have laughed out loud.

Flicking his fingertips lightly, Lan Baking calculated today's expenses in his mind, remembering the woolen materials stored in the warehouse, he raised his eyes to look at the triumphant Mo Si on the opposite side, and the smile on his face became more and more unpredictable.

This guy is a complete idiot!Lan Baker looked at Mosi, and thought very fortunately, such a special ability has such a stupid owner, as if it was deliberately waiting for someone to use it...
