"Finished?" Dedale asked in shock.
"Brat, are you even listening?”Looking at Dedale, who suddenly quivered, Aya's face was slightly sullen.
"I'm listening. I've been listening carefully. I just didn't expect it to be so short. It was settled in just a few words.”Dedale scratched the back of his head and explained.
"Little Deeny, it's not that the more the process, the more difficult it is, nor is it that the fewer the steps, the easier it is. You won't understand even if I tell you, so let's start practicing first so that you can gain some knowledge.”Seeing the indifference in the depths of Dedale's eyes, Aya helplessly smiled. He was really trying to reason with a four-year-old child. He would first let him practice it so that he could truly understand the difficulties.
"Alright." Dedale's flushed face immediately broke into a smile. He had been bored for so long and had been waiting for Uncle Aya to say this.
Seeing Dedale's actions, Aya helplessly smiled and took out a piece of clay from the shelf. He handed it to Dedale and took a piece for himself.
After taking the clay that wasn't very heavy, Dedale quickly placed it on the tool table. He then moved a small stool and quickly stepped on it. At the age of four, Dedale had a strong resentment towards his height.
The first step was to refine the soil and squeeze out the air inside the clay. Thinking back, Dedale immediately took action. His small hands gently hammered and kneaded the white clay. Clay wasn't very hard, and the clay that Uncle Aya had given Dedale was all sticky clay with water added to it. Dedale's process was very smooth, and this increased Dedale's confidence in success.
Dedale fell into deep thought. This was his first time, so he had to make a very meaningful appearance. After thinking for a while, Dedale made a difficult decision. This was Dedale's most commonly used move in battle. He would secretly create a small spider, which would quietly climb onto the enemy's body and detonate before the enemy could react. Thinking about the effects, Dedale couldn't help but get excited.
With this idea in mind, Dedale immediately took action. He took a small piece of clay and rubbed it in his hand. After a while, he had kneaded the small piece of clay into a ball. He then took out an even smaller piece of clay and quickly kneaded it into a small ball. Dedale quickly stuck the two balls together. The spider's head and body were complete. Dedale smiled in satisfaction when he saw the results of his production.
What was next? The eight legs of the spider. Eight? 'That's too much. I'll just reduce it to four legs. That's enough for me to walk.' Thinking of this, Dedale couldn't help but feel happy for his clever way of slacking off. Dedale took out some clay again and began to rub it. This time, he didn't rub it into a ball, but rather, he rubbed out a thin strip of wood. Haha, these were the spider's tails. After bending the thin strip 60 degrees from the middle, Dedale happily placed four simple legs on the spider's body. There were two balls, and each had two wooden strips on top.
" Alright," Dedale nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at his masterpiece. The second step was completed, so it was time to start the third step. He picked up a small tool knife from the table and hesitated. How should he modify the spider? I felt that it was enough.
No, there was nothing on his face. At least, anyone could tell at a glance that this place was his head. Alright, then he would add a pair of eyes.
What about his eyes? Dedale was puzzled. He hadn't expected to have to consider so many things just to be a small spider. It was really troublesome. Dedale couldn't help but complain. Oh right, why did he add two small balls as eyes? He could just dig two small holes on his face to make eyes. What a great idea. He was too smart.
Dedale put the little spider in front of his eyes and carefully used his other hand to carve a knife on the spider's face. This wasn't good. It was a bit crooked. Dedale quickly used clay to paste it on, fill in the gaps, and then re-carve it. After spending a lot of effort, Dedale finally carved out a hollow eye on the spider's face.
Next was the dry wind and the vegetarian fire. These weren't things that could be done right now, which meant that Dedale's practice was basically done. Seeing that he had successfully completed it, Dedale quickly reported this great news to Uncle Aya.
"Uncle Aya, come over and take a look. I've already finished.”Dedale kept waving at Uncle Aya, who was concentrating on his work.
"It's done. So fast? Don't tell me he's just messing around." Aya put down the work in his hands and quickly walked in front of Dedale as he asked in surprise.
"No, I spent a lot of effort to make such a beautiful spider.”As he spoke, Dedale carefully picked up his work and showed it to Uncle Aya. From a distance, this was indeed a passable piece of work. It was very good to be able to do this on the first try.
"Not bad. Although I have never seen a spider with four legs, it is very good to be able to do this. Little Deeny, it seems that you are quite talented in clay modeling.”Aya said with a satisfied expression as he looked at the work in Dedale's hand. He also reached out to take Dedale's spider and began to observe it.
"Of course. How can an artist like me be lacking in this aspect?”Hearing Uncle Aya's praise, Dedale immediately began to show off. His short golden hair swayed as he proudly said,"
"Dedale, you stuck them together one by one.”Suddenly, Uncle Aya's surprised voice sounded. Dedale turned his head and saw that the spider's head and body had somehow separated from Uncle Aya's hand.
"What's wrong? If you don't stick it, what do you do?" Hearing Uncle Aya's tone, Dedale understood that he had made a mistake, and his voice immediately became much softer.
"Kid, do you know? A clay work couldn't be stuck. Otherwise, when it was baked, the stuck part would completely split apart. We can only take a piece of clay and turn it into the clay we want by pinching, kneading, pinching, arching, rubbing, and cutting.”Uncle Aya explained as he placed Dedale's half-baked work on the table.
"How difficult would it be to do that? How could anyone do that?”After hearing Aya's explanation, Dedale immediately came over, but he didn't seem to believe it.
"As long as you put in some effort, there's nothing you can't do.”As he spoke, Uncle Aya took a small piece of clay from the table and quickly manipulated it in front of Dedale. In ten minutes, a simple spider appeared in his hand, and Dedale praised him.
"With a little bit of embellishment, it can become an exquisite piece of work. Now you know that you're still far from it, Little Deeny.”
