jade carver

As the game was approaching, there was another bad news from old man Xu, the treasure was taken to the Tengchong area by Xu An.Xu An's interest in the black market is obviously greater than that of regular competitions, and nine times out of ten he is going to fight in the black market.

After Lao Xia heard it, his mind moved, but he frowned quickly.The black market has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the black market has its own set of rules. If you really win, you can take the jade and leave. There is no provision that veterans cannot play against novices.In that kind of place, there is no such thing as bullying newcomers, and using all your strength is the bargaining chip for survival.

Lao Xia carefully looked at the work in the hands of the apprentices, and felt that if they really worked together, these few would not be vegetarians, and suddenly had some hope.

Several apprentices also felt that the atmosphere was tense, and even the youngest twins began to study hard behind the master brother Xu Junjie with a stern face.

Strictly speaking, the twins' craftsmanship should be taught by old man Xu. When Lao Xia took them, the two children's hands were already steady, and they were very good at carving jade.The two brothers have one heart, although they are young, their kung fu is not necessarily less familiar than others.Especially the unique skill of imitation, I am afraid that the old man Xu has seen it, and has already arranged it.

Soon, the twins and Xu Junjie hid in the small single room of the studio and got busy after answering a call from old man Xu.They are all disciples of old man Xu, and Lao Xia also knew that old man Xu had a lot of unique skills, so he let them work in the private room.

Yun Yifei's father also attached great importance to this matter. He studied art with Mr. Xu back then, and later got the advice of Mr. Xu to specialize in Shanzidiao, which is how he achieved today's achievements.Because he set up his own family early, he is considered the best one in the teacher's school, but he doesn't like the second generation ancestor who ruined the teacher's life's hard work.After hearing the reason of the matter, he immediately discussed with Lao Xia on the phone for a long time, and finally called Yun Yifei back, thinking about it, he took out housekeeping skills to pass on to his son.

Now there is no other way, Lao Xia can only do his best to pass on the experience of these years to the apprentices, especially Cheng Ye, this is the little apprentice he trained, Lao Xia knows his potential best .

Like a sponge, Cheng Ye was constantly instilled with knowledge of various techniques by Lao Xia, and under the guidance of Lao Xia, he wrung out the techniques that were not suitable for him bit by bit, leaving only a small part to slowly Thoroughly understand.This is an extremely painful process. If it weren't for Cheng Ye's ten-year basic skills to support him, he might not be able to resist now.

Lao Xia looked at his most precious little apprentice with some worry. The master had strict requirements, and they all came out of this kind of experience back then, but Cheng Ye's physical condition was there, so he might not be as strong as them, and couldn't stand the toss.

Cheng Ye's face was already a little pale, and the hand that was holding the jade mound was also a little pale, but the movements of his hands were still crisp and neat, without any confusion.Holding the jade material in his palm, he concentrated on sculpting. Every time he started to write and cut the knife, he was a little different than before, but he quickly integrated into his own style.He has always been a hardworking and obedient student. When Lao Xia pushed him hard, he studied hard without a single question or complaint.

Lao Xia looked at the gradually formed jade carving in Cheng Ye's hands, and his expression on his face became softer. He, a little apprentice, did not make a mistake, and he understood everything he taught to the tip of the knife. If the time was looser, Cheng Ye might be the one There is more room for improvement.However, this competition is also a rare opportunity for training. Cheng Ye has experienced these, which will be of great benefit to his future path.

Lao Xia took Cheng Ye to identify jade and Zhuoyu who were greedy every day from early to late, but later, it became Lao Xia who came to persuade Cheng Ye to rest.Sometimes, in order to make Cheng Ye relax, Lao Xia even asked him to call Li Rui several times.

"Cheng Ye, don't be too tired. Why don't you stop and take a rest and call Li Rui? I see that you haven't called him for several days..." Lao Xia held the small teapot and looked at it While Cheng Ye was doing the work in his hand, he nodded secretly, very satisfied with Cheng Ye's learning speed.Apart from being satisfied, he was also a little worried, fearing that the little apprentice's body would not be able to bear it if he worked so hard.

Cheng Ye put down the half-carved jade in his hand, moved his shoulders a little, and said without raising his head: "No need, master. Brother Rui is busy these days. I'll just wait for his call."

Hearing these words made Lao Xia feel uncomfortable. His apprentice is honest, and Li Rui can do whatever he wants, and now he even has to listen to Li Rui when he takes the initiative to make a phone call... If Li Rui is playing tricks, I'm afraid it will be Cheng Ye It was sold to someone and still counting the money!Lao Xia held the small teapot and looked worriedly at the obedient and well-behaved little apprentice in front of him. He suddenly felt an indescribable sense of melancholy.

The three-month preparation time passed in the blink of an eye. Lao Xia took a few apprentices to Yunnan. Yun Yifei arrived earlier than them and was waiting for them at the train station.Yun Yifei looked as if she had lost a layer of skin. It seemed that he had suffered a lot in the past three months, but he was in good spirits. When he saw Lao Xia and the others, he immediately laughed, "Uncle Xia! Xiaowen, Xiaowen Wu!"

Lao Xia walked in the front with the twins, seeing Yun Yifei hurriedly greeted him, but then frowned when he saw the luggage he brought.Yun Yifei brought very little luggage, except for a backpack, there was only one bag of food, which must have been brought down on the train without finishing eating.

"Yi Fei, where are your things?" The elder brother saw something was wrong, and asked the question first. "Although jade materials have been prepared for this competition, they are definitely not as good as their own preparations. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage if you didn't bring them?"

Yun Yifei patted his backpack, smiled and said: "The material I chose is too big, and it will take a few days for it to arrive."

Xu Xiaowu let out a wow immediately when he heard it, and chased Yun Yifei and asked: "Brother Yun, Brother Yun, are you going to make a mountain? How big is it? Is it the same as the rockery we used to have in our shop?"

Xu Xiaowen thought a lot, and now he was worried about Yun Yifei: "Brother Yun, the competition seems to only last for a week. If you make such a big one, can you finish it within the specified time?"

"Don't worry, I'm not a big brother, I never do anything out of order." Yun Yifei reached out and took the small bag carried by the twins into his hand, and handed the bag of snacks to them.He still had a smile on his face, but there was an indescribable confidence and pride in his words: "Our family's reputation is not in vain, just wait and see."

Senior brother Xu Junjie rubbed his chin and laughed, "Yi Fei, did you bring some treasures out? Well, I heard that the Jin family didn't come to participate this time, and I'm afraid the first few people will be rounded up by us... ..." He clicked Cheng Ye, then Yun Yifei, and finally clicked on his nose, proudly said: "Well, it's almost the three of us in the end, why don't we make a bet, whoever wins?" If you lose, take out one thing, heck, if you lose, take out that treasured 'Hidden Snow Jade', if Cheng Ye loses, take out that set of Nianyu..."

Lao Xia slapped him on the head before he finished reading a single word!

Lao Xia stared at Xu Junjie with hatred, wishing to take back what he said just now, "Still thinking about Cheng Ye's stuff?! I finally learned a little better, and when I contacted your master, I went back again. Go back! If you dare to think about your juniors in the future, I will whip you every time I see you." After thinking about it, I couldn't help but add another sentence, "I even smoke your master!"

Xu Junjie covered his head and muttered a few words, "I was just kidding with them, I don't want theirs, so I just take them here and play for a few days..." Xu Junjie has been studying with a teacher for many years, and he naturally knows the two best skills of old man Xu , the same is the Jade Carving Spring Palace, which is barely counted among the characters, but it can't be taken out.There is another thing that is even more difficult to sell, and that is antique jade.Commonly known as fake.

Lao Xia probably thought of it too, and when he looked at Xu Junjie, his face became even darker, "It's not good to play, and I will lose one twisted jade ball for playing, what should I do if you play for a while and give me an extra set!"

Lao Xia can be regarded as an old senior, and the accommodation arrangement is quite comfortable. He even brought a few apprentices to enjoy the blessings and lived in a luxurious room with a suite.The twins were so excited that they couldn't fall asleep on the train, they lay down and snored as soon as they arrived at the hotel, sleeping soundly.Xu Junjie and Yun Yifei went out to discuss jade materials, Lao Xia was called to drink tea by some old friends, and Cheng Ye was the only one left in the room for a while.

Cheng Ye was sitting on the sofa, flicking his phone back and forth, hesitating a few times, but he still didn't make the call.

One week.He hadn't received a call from Li Rui for a week.Although there was a situation where he only called once in ten days and a half months before, but for some reason, Cheng Ye was always a little worried this time.

Maybe it was because he was so exhausted just after getting out of the car, Cheng Ye lay on the sofa and fell asleep without knowing it.When the little thing in his hand made a crisp ringtone, he was stunned for a while before he realized it, and immediately pressed the connect button, "Brother Rui...?"

"Cheng Ye, this is Populus euphratica." A gentle voice came from the phone, "I'm sorry, are you waiting for the call? I don't know, why don't I call back later?"

"No need, just say it now. Do you have anything to do with me?" Cheng Ye closed his eyes and lay on his back on the large sofa. He wondered if he was a little depressed at the moment when he answered the call just now. Limp.

"I was drinking tea with my grandfather in the flower hall just now, and I happened to meet Uncle Xia. He said that you have also come to Yunnan. If you have time, can you come with me...I mean, have a meal with us?" Populus euphratica is a A humble gentleman, his attitude towards Cheng Ye is still warm and reserved. He doesn't want to be abrupt with Cheng Ye, but he can't help but want to communicate with him more. "Uncle Xia is also here, if you come, I can go to pick you up."

"I'm sorry, I'm a little tired from the car ride today..." Cheng Ye rubbed the center of his brows, not sure if it was because he was tired physically or mentally. "Please take care of the master for me, we will pick him up later."

"I'll send Uncle Xia over after dinner, you don't need to come here." Hu Yang was still good-tempered, and persuaded: "Go and rest, the official competition will be tomorrow afternoon, and your health is important."

"Then, thank you."

Such a few simple words, if another person said it, I'm afraid I would jump up happily?Cheng Ye rubbed his eyes with pantothenic acid, and scolded himself in his heart for being worthless.But when he looked at the mobile phone, which was still on with the background light on, his eyes widened, and there was an unread text message displayed there!

His fingers trembled a little, and when he pressed it and saw the familiar name, he was so happy that he almost couldn't press the key correctly.The content of the message is very brief, but it is inexplicably reassuring: Cheng Ye, I am going to go to sea these days, maybe for more than a month?There is no signal at sea, don't worry about me, take care of yourself, you know?If Dad asks about me, just say I'm out on business and I'll be back in a while.

Cheng Ye immediately replied "Got it", thought for a while, and added "I'll wait for you to come back".

Li Rui didn't wait for these two messages from Cheng Ye. Almost immediately after sending the message, he threw his phone and exploded it. After stomping on it a few times, he threw the magnetic card into the fire and burned it.After doing this, he walked out of the room and looked at the people outside with a gloomy face.

Huang Mao was sitting on the sofa in the small hall outside. He had stood up nervously since he heard a voice in Li Rui's room. Now he saw Li Rui coming out and hurriedly asked, "Brother Rui, what happened just now? Something fell Bar?"

Li Rui stared at them one by one. Among them, he knew only a few people. Among the rest, there were a few familiar faces, who seemed to be his confidantes who used to be with the lame third child.Li Rui held back his anger, and gritted his teeth word by word, "We made Young Master Yang black, and that grandson hid white noodles at the pier!"

White noodles are unpurified drugs, some of which can be directly sold in karaoke bars or nightclubs, and the profits are huge, and many people take risks for it.The first conflict between Young Master Yang and Li Rui was because he was secretly selling white noodles in the venue.Young Master Yang and his son used to be in charge of transporting the pier here. They had a grudge against Li Rui, and now the lame youngest has also withdrawn their transportation rights. but.

In public, they want revenge on the lame third child and Li Rui; in private, they need a lot of money.

After Li Rui finished speaking with a dark face, almost everyone in the small hall couldn't sit still. Some of them started calling their cell phones to notify other people, but Li Rui stopped them immediately.

"Everyone, don't use the phone in your hand, there is a monitor here." Li Rui lowered his voice, his eyes were slightly bloodshot, as if he was being pressed. "Take all the money in your hand, I don't want this batch of goods, Huang Mao, you go and drive, everyone will withdraw with me first!"

There were still people who were hesitating, and were immediately kicked to the ground by the big black man on the side, and shouted: "I said there was a monitor, you didn't hear it! Fuck, you have to shake the third brother out to be happy!" Right!" He cursed a few words, looked at Li Rui again, spat on the ground viciously, and said, "Brother Rui, tell me, what shall we do now! Brothers, come with you!"

"Go out first, and then find a chance to inform the third brother." Li Rui said quickly, "The kid surnamed Yang is probably out for revenge. People come to search."

The faces of the people in the room changed. Let alone the white noodles on the pier, even these private goods are enough for them to go in for ten or eight years. If the account books are found out, they will all be dragged out and shot.Li Rui didn't need to say anything else, he immediately prepared according to his previous instructions, and Huang Mao ran to drive as if his butt was on fire, so he wished he could fly out with his wings!

Li Rui's heart was beating very fast. He had carefully analyzed all the people in this room. These people were almost foolishly loyal to the lame third child, so when he said those words just now, what they thought was to How to maintain a lame child.And what he has to do is to create the illusion of an escape, as long as the lame third child is involved in this escape, and the rest will use Long Ge's means, the lame third child can only continue to escape non-stop.

With a limit of three months, it may be possible to overthrow the lame third child.As long as the person is down, he can go back to his normal life.
