Time slowly passed, and light once again defeated darkness and returned to the human world.
The rising sun was so red, it brought a new starting point.
The next morning.
The family of three woke up early.
For breakfast, they ate plain porridge, steamed buns, pickled vegetables, fresh bamboo shoots, and leftover snake meat from last night.
Be it Lin Ziqi or Grandma, they had no love for snake meat. They did not eat a single bite.
Therefore, Jiang Yuan was the one who took advantage of it and ate it all.
After finishing his meal, he walked to the courtyard and set up the camera. He took out the thin bamboo that had been soaked in the water yesterday and cut it into thin bamboo strips with a bamboo knife to weave some small toys.
Bamboo craftsman was an ancient profession.
With the emergence of plastic products, bamboo products were almost eliminated. However, in recent years, people's environmental awareness has increased, and this ancient craft has gradually gained a certain market and is very popular among people.
Lin Ziqi's family had been operating this skill for generations. It had been passed down from their ancestors until Lin Ziqi carried it forward and became well-known on the Internet.
"Little Yuan, why aren't you helping me weave the lampshade? What are you doing with a piece of wood?”
Lin Ziqi skillfully weaved bamboo strips and asked Jiang Yuan, who was beside her.
Jiang Yuan: " I have nothing to do. I plan to carve a piece of work to practice.”
Lin Ziqi said in surprise,"Oh, not only do you know how to carve patterns, but you also know how to carve?" Where did you learn all this from?”
"In the books. I didn't read those books yesterday for nothing!" Jiang Yuan laughed.”
"Tch, if you're such a genius, why didn't I notice it before? Forget it, I won't ask if you don't want to tell me. Anyway, you're already mine. Why would I be afraid of you running away?”
Lin Ziqi rolled her eyes at him and smiled."Quickly call me Queen!"
Jiang Yuan was speechless.
While they were chatting and laughing, Jiang Yuan did not stop what he was doing. First, he cut off the corners of the square wooden block and made a rough model.
Then, he picked up the carving knife and carefully carved the details.
Saber techniques were like the strokes in calligraphy and painting, which could enhance the artistic effect.
It was easy to say, but it was extremely difficult to sense the brush strokes.
This was because this was the product of the combination of mind and skill, something that no imitation could achieve.
One of a kind.
The wood grain and carving marks, smooth and rough, uneven and flat, arranged with a round knife, cut with a flat knife... The charm of the artistic language displayed was something that other sculptures could not achieve.
However, in Jiang Yuan's hands, it was as if there was a god helping him. Everything went smoothly.
The twists, pauses, bumps, and undulations of the knife made the ordinary wood look more vivid and natural, gradually reflecting the beauty of the wood carving!
By the time Lin Ziqi finished weaving the lampshade, Jiang Yuan had already carved a complete human puppet.
"Hey, you're making an ancient woman, right?”
Lin Ziqi had walked to Jiang Yuan's side at some point in time. She stuck her head out and asked.
"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded.
The clothes worn by the puppet looked like ancient Han clothes.
Three thousand strands of hair hung down. Although they were only carved out of wood, they looked natural as if they were fluttering in the wind.
It was so lifelike!
"Your craftsmanship is really good!" Lin Ziqi sighed and continued,"But why hasn't this girl carved her face yet?”
"Although the wood carving is a dead object, if it is matched with a beautiful face, it can be brought to life. This is also the most difficult thing to do in carving!”
Jiang Yuan carefully rubbed the wood carving in his hand and explained seriously.
Lin Ziqi looked adorable." Uh…Although I don't understand what you mean, it sounds very powerful!"”
"Come, sit properly. I'll start sculpting the face now!”
Jiang Yuan straightened Lin Ziqi's body and then smoothed her hair lovingly.
At the same time, the carving knife in his hand quickly carved, and wood chips fell.
"No wonder you didn't make a move. You were waiting for me…"
Lin Ziqi's face was slightly red as she thought to herself.
It turned out that Jiang Yuan was going to carve her face on the statue.
The words 'beautiful' just now could be considered a compliment to her, and it made Lin Ziqi's heart beat wildly.
"Sob, sob, sob…"
The carving knife spun rapidly. After about ten minutes, the sound stopped abruptly.
A vivid and lifelike wooden carving of a woman in an ancient style appeared. She was dressed in Han clothes, and her black hair was scattered over her shoulders!
Her white teeth and bright eyes were like autumn water, like the clear waves of autumn water.
She looked exactly like Lin Ziqi, and it even perfectly replicated her current expression and posture.
"It's done. I'll give it to you!"
Jiang Yuan was extremely satisfied with this wooden carving. He reached out and handed it to Lin Ziqi.
"It's so beautiful! I didn't expect me to be so beautiful!"
Lin Ziqi held the wooden carving in her hands as if she was holding a treasure. She felt the warmth coming from her fingers and was unusually touched.
"Are you praising yourself? "Don't be so narcissistic, okay?" Jiang Yuan laughed.
"Could it be that you dare to say that this lady isn't good-looking? Do you believe that I will strangle you to death with a husky?”Lin Ziqi reprimanded.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm afraid of you. It just so happens that you've finished weaving the lampshade. Let's change it for the house now!”
"Alright ~~~"
