Why is my master always lost and swollen? !

In the next period of time, the tea pavilion fell into a long silence, everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Mr. Baohe wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but seeing the old city lord's gloomy face, he knew that he was really angry, so he didn't touch the bad guy anymore.

Zhao Liu was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe out.He had seen the miraculousness of that woodcarver, otherwise he would not have dared to bring him to meet the old city lord rashly.But in the current situation... Zhao Liu regretted bringing the woodcarver here.

After about half an hour, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tea pavilion, breaking the eerie silence.Everyone looked outside the door, and saw the boy who was sent by the old city lord to find wood, walking towards this side, followed by two coolies.The two coolies were struggling to carry an object one after the other. As soon as they appeared on the stage, Liu Zian felt that something was wrong. After seeing the object clearly, he almost cried out——the thing they carried was actually a stick. Wet wood still dripping!

"Oh my God!" Liu Zian whispered in his ear, and Fang Xue covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes were wide open, obviously she couldn't believe what she saw.

"Where did this just come from? Let me tell you, this old city lord has a lot of tricks..." Liu Zian was about to tell Fang Xue about the old city lord's "glorious history" when he saw a note from Mr. Baohe. With a sharp glance, he could only shut his mouth embarrassingly.

"Master City Lord, according to your instructions, I found a piece of high-quality wood." The young man walked quickly to the old City Lord and said as if offering a treasure.

The old city lord saw from a long distance that they had moved a piece of wet wood, and couldn't help frowning.At first, he just ordered them to find a piece of rotten wood, just to make things difficult for the woodcarver who had offended him, and to embarrass him.To be honest, since Painter Bai disappeared mysteriously, no one has dared to ignore him so much.However, what I didn't expect was that this group of people actually found such a wet and rotten thing.Although dead wood can also have spring, the old city lord does not believe that the woodcarver has the ability to turn decay into magic.If this person is really a talent, do I have to break his hands because of a moment of anger?

"My lord, are you satisfied with this material?" The boy who was sent to find the wood asked anxiously when he saw that the old city lord's expression was not looking good.

"Very good." The old city lord replied.Thinking of being able to punish this self-proclaimed artist with eyes higher than the top in a short while, the old city lord felt indescribably happy.

"In short, let him make a fool of himself first." The old city owner said in his heart.

"Please." Seeing that his father was satisfied with the material, Mr. Xing raised his hand and said to the woodcarver.

In fact, ever since this wet wood appeared, the woodcarver's eyes have been firmly locked on it.After Young Master Xing had spoken, he walked to the wood and circled it a few times, with a faint brilliance in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.Finally, he reached out and patted the surface of the wood, picking up a large piece of bark.

"My god, it's all gone." Liu Zian said in shock.

"Encountering this kind of material should have nothing to do with carving." Mr. Baohe nodded and said softly, "After all, it's luck at this time."

"Luck?" Fang Xue didn't quite understand what Mr. Baohe meant.

"Although it doesn't have a shape, it has meaning, and it is also a good work from a certain point of view. But...it depends on luck." Mr. Baohe explained.

Everyone here is discussing in whispers, secretly sighing that the woodcarver is in trouble this time.The woodcarver over there showed joy and praised: "Good material!"

Is this still good material? !Liu Zian was a little confused, and glanced at the people in the pavilion, only to see that they also looked incomprehensible.

Although the expression of the woodcarver didn't look like he was joking, but everyone didn't see what was so good about this piece of rotten wood.

After the buffer of this incident, the old city lord's anger was much lessened, and he also became curious about the woodcarver, wanting to see how he would deal with this "good material".

The woodcarver stared at the piece of wood for a while, and finally started to do it.First, he found a saw and cut a piece of wood about two feet long from the wood. After peeling off the bark, he cut it into a square and put it aside.Immediately after, he fished out his waist with his backhand, took out a leather wallet, and unfolded it, only to see a row of carving knives of different sizes and shapes neatly stacked inside.The woodcarver stretched out his fingers, slid across the slender handles one by one, and finally picked one out of them, grabbed the wooden square with his left hand, closed his eyes and fell silent for a moment.

When he opened his eyes again, the original plain expression was suddenly swept away, revealing a strange and weird smile, but there was a look of tenderness and reminiscence in his eyes, as if he was immersed in some kind of reverie.

"My god, why does this woodcarver smile exactly like that Bai painter? It's so creepy! Could it be that all of them who are engaged in art are like this?" Liu Zian was startled by the woodcarver's smile, thinking to himself road.

At first, everyone present didn't think that the woodcarver could carve anything, after all, the wood was rotten like this.However, when his first knife fell, everyone's eyes could no longer be taken away.Every knife and every trajectory that the man dropped seems to contain a wonderful rhythm, which makes the viewer's mind involuntarily attracted.

Works in mind!Liu Zian suddenly remembered what the woodcarver said before. At that time, he thought it was just a joke, but he didn't expect it to be so...

In a blink of an eye, the outline of the wood carving gradually became clear, and the old city lord's mood became more and more excited.This is the first time he realizes that staying in all kinds of artworks can't bring him anything all day long. The real enjoyment is to witness the creation of artworks from scratch!

Now, the old city lord has put away his previous contempt, and put the bet behind him, focusing on watching.Having said that, the person who gave him such a sense of astonishment last time does not know where he is now...

After about an hour, the woodcarver let out a sigh of relief and stopped the carving knife in his hand.He carefully wiped the carving knife clean, put it in his wallet, and then rolled up his sleeves to wipe off the sweat on his forehead.At this moment, his face looked a little pale, like a dead person.

"Maybe it's too exhausting." Mr. Baohe thought.

The woodcarver carefully picked up the finished woodcarving, with a look of treasure in his eyes, then took a deep breath and blew towards the woodcarving.

Blowing out in one breath, the sawdust left on the wood carvings flew like a rain of flowers all over the sky. After the clouds and mist cleared, the whole picture of the wood carvings finally appeared.But it was this glance that made everyone present stunned.

The woodcarver stared at the woodcarving in his hand, with a little more love and reluctance in his expression, but he still presented his hands to the old city lord.And the latter couldn't hold back anymore.In the process of carving wood carvings, the old city lord had a feeling that this upcoming wood carving was definitely the best of the best.When the woodcarver blew it for the last time, it was as if the last curtain had been lifted, and the eyes stuck to the woodcarving could no longer be removed.

The old city lord carefully took over the wood carving. This wood carving was of a woman in Chinese clothes, with a delicate and graceful face, her jaw slightly raised, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Xiaobai..." Mr. Xing murmured, his eyes filled with disbelief.

That's right, the woman carved by the woodcarver is the appearance of Bai Xuan who died innocently and tragically because of the "Picture of Hell in Disguise".

"Could it be that you hit your face?" Liu Zian whispered in Mr. Baohe's ear.

Mr. Baohe shook his head in confusion, expressing that he did not know what was going on.If it's a bump in the face, are there so many people who look exactly the same in the world?Before there was Liu Zian and Liu Zihan, and later there was Bai Xuan and this woodcarving girl... But if it wasn't for the confrontation, then this matter would be even more unbelievable.It is said that this woodcarver came here only two days ago, and he had never been here before, but Bai Xuan had died a few years ago, and he had never left the city gate before his death.Where did they meet again?

"This person must be Xiaobai! Look, the clothes of this woodcarving woman are not the same as Xiaobai's appearance that day?" Mr. Xing said a little excitedly.

However, the old city lord seemed not to hear, staring at the wood carving in front of him with piercing eyes, rubbing it with his fingers.Because the wood has been soaked in water before, the wood has become soft, and it feels somewhat elastic to the touch, just like real skin.

The old city lord looked around at the "treasures" in the tea pavilion, and sighed secretly in his heart. As the wood carving master said, although these things are well carved and made of good materials, compared with the wood carving in front of him, they always feel owe something.He was silent for a while, and suddenly understood, lifelike and lifelike, although there is only one word difference, they are thousands of miles apart.What is missing in these wood carvings is the word "sheng".

"Master, this old man has poor eyesight and offended you earlier." The old city lord said awkwardly, clasping his hands. By saying this, he admitted that he had lost.The old castellan still admires capable people.

After resting for a while, the woodcarver's complexion improved a little, but it still made people feel gloomy.He smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, as long as the Lord City Master likes it."

For some reason, Liu Zian heard a trace of ridicule and hatred from his words... Could it be because the old city lord had offended him before?

"I like it, I like it very much...Come here, go to the cashier and get 500 taels of silver." The old city lord gave such instructions, and the boy who helped find the wood went to the cashier to get the money.He has opened his eyes today.Can carve a piece of rotten wood into a beautiful woman, this wood carver is really a miracle!As for the unreasonable things he did to the city lord earlier... the city lord didn't even mention it, so naturally he wouldn't talk too much as a current person.

After a while, the young man took the bank note, wrapped it in paper and presented it to the woodcarver, saying: "Master, please order."

The woodcarver just glanced at it lightly, and smiled at Zhao Liu: "Brother Zhao, please help me put it away first."

With such a good deed, Zhao Liu naturally would not refuse, and took the paper bag containing the bank notes.Good guy, so thick!He hurriedly put it into his arms, and flattered the old city lord, "What else is there, the city lord can only give more rewards, not less. Zhao Liu is here to thank the city lord for my brother's generous gift!"

The old city lord nodded, fond of the newly acquired woodcarving.Suddenly, he found a small engraving under the corner of the woman's skirt, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the word "white".

"Could it be that Mr. Bai's surname is Bai?" the old city lord asked casually.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, the surname is Bai...

"Yeah." The woodcarver paused and responded softly.He lowered his head, and no one saw the sad smile on the corner of his mouth.
