Chapter 142 The finishing touch
Lu Feng was very familiar with the place his mother said. When he was a child, he played with his friends in the desolate place behind the village. For a period of time, it even became a secret base and gathering point for his friends.
Of course, for Lu Feng, who has lived in this small mountain village for nearly 20 years, he is very familiar with every inch of land here. Even if he climbs the winding mountain road behind the village and enters the vast mountains, Lu Feng can also return from it, but the premise is that he does not encounter fierce beasts.
The distance of hundreds of meters is almost not a distance for Lu Feng. Soon after coming to the village, he looked at the rows of courtyards. Lu Feng sighed in his heart. Unexpectedly, he had only been out for more than two years, and the village had undergone earth-shaking changes. It used to be very desolate, but now it has built courtyards. From those courtyards, you can even hear people shouting loudly, and the sound of a hammer hitting the big blue stone.
From the first house in the east and looking in from the open workshop door, Lu Feng saw his father standing in the yard, frowning, and his eyes firmly locked on a stone lion in front of him.
Lu Feng's father, who was not shocked, almost floated into the courtyard with the support of internal air.
His eyes fell on the one-height stone lion. At this time, the stone lion had been carved in other places except his eyes. From the appearance, the stone lion looked lifelike and majestic. The vivid overall feeling made him admire him. His carving craftsmanship was simply It's unique.
His eyes slowly moved away from the big stone lion. Lu Feng's eyes slowly swept aside and saw that there were dozens of similar stone statues that had been carved in the yard, including tigers, lions, wild wolves, cheetahs, and even two toothed claws, five-clawed golden dragons with a fierce breath.
A few minutes later, Lu Feng looked at his father holding a carving knife in his hand, but he hadn't carved the big stone lion's eyes for a long time. He was immediately curious and asked, "Dad, why don't you do it? There are only two eyes left. If it is carved, isn't it to complete this work?
At this time, Lu Zhenhai seemed to find the arrival of Lu Feng. There was a bitter smile in his eyes and sighed softly, "I spent a lot of effort to carve this stone lion. Now this is the last step, and it is also the most important moment for the failure of the whole work. I am not calm in my heart now, and there is no A trace of inspiration, I don't want to carve these eyes. As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows of the soul. Xiaofeng, if the eyes are broken, this work can be regarded as a defective product.
Lu Feng understands this truth. Even if the whole big stone lion is well carved, if the eye carving is broken, it cannot play the emotion, momentum, and even the overall perfect effect of the stone lion that the sculptor originally wanted to express.
Lu Feng thought of an idiom: painting the finishing touch.
If the eyes carve that artistic conception, it can be regarded as a boutique.
Thinking of this, Lu Feng's eyes were firmly fixed on the big stone lion, feeling its strong body, looking at its hair ripples as if running in the wind, and the claws that one of the feet were raised and exposed, Lu Feng suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
Angry Lion, Crazy Lion.
Lions are extremely combative. In the animal world, although there are animals that can hunt lions, there are not many. It is a fierce beast. If you want to carve and express the power emanating from it, you have to shape its anger, its madness, and the wildness in his bones.
Man is not a lion, and there is no way to understand its inner world, but its usual power can still be captured by people.
In my mind, there seemed to be a fierce lion running in the vast field, across the dense forest, and the prey died tragically in its mouth, with a crazy roar, as if it had broken the sky.
Finally, in the roar of looking up to the sky, Lu Feng's thoughts finally stopped, and his eyes showed a strange look. His body moved in an eye, and his action was as fast as lightning, almost leaving a hazy shadow in the air. Suddenly, the carving knife in Lu Zhenhai's hand appeared in Lu Feng's hand.
"You..."
Lu Zhenhai was slightly shocked, looked at his empty hands, and then looked at Lu Feng.
Draw a dragon to be sunny, and it's a stroke.
In Lu Feng's mind, in his heart, he was completely immersed in his imagination. The carving knife turned into a dazzling light, and the movements like flowing clouds suddenly flashed on the eyes of the big stone lion. It only took only a few seconds. Lu Feng's movements suddenly stopped, and his eyes looked at the carved stone lion's eyes.
Lu Zhenhai, who stood beside him, was surprised to see that his son had taken such a short time to carve his eyes for the big stone lion from his hand like lightning.
Although it was only carved with a knife, there was still a trace of shock in Lu Zhenhai's eyes, because the stone carved by Lu Feng's carved eyes were full of countless emotions. What was hidden under the seemingly gentle eyes was a trace of cruelness, and the arrogance in the arrogant breath was full of wildness.
How is that possible?
Even if it is a sculptor, it is difficult to achieve this level, right?
If the big stone lion without carved eyes before is a godless body, then at this moment, the stone lion is so lifelike and vivid, as if its whole body is full of a vibrant feeling.
"Xiao Feng, how did you do it?" Lu Zhenhai asked in surprise.
At this time, Lu Feng was still immersed in the emotions that had just been carved. Hearing his father's words, he had to shake his body slightly, and then withdrew from those emotions. He looked at the big stone lion in front of him again. Lu Feng's eyes were wide open and looked at the stone lion as if there was life in surprise.
Is this the eye you just carved?
You obviously don't know how to carve? But where did the impulse just come from? Unexpectedly, the stone lion's eyes were carved out. Now it seems to be alive, emitting a deterrent.
"I... I just thought about the lion's living habits, imagining the domineeringness in its bones, the wildness, its madness, its pride, its unruly and wildness. So I unconsciously started to do it. I didn't expect that there would be such a little effect. Dad, I didn't destroy the beauty of this stone lion, did I? Lu Feng asked nervously.
Lu Zhenhai clapped his hands and said with a smile, "You carving like a dragon, how can you destroy the beauty of a stone lion? On the contrary, you almost gave it life. I haven't carved such a perfect stone lion since I started carving a stone lion. It seems that in terms of carving You really can't just practice engraving skills, but also invest in emotions and imagine the character flowing in their bones.
Lu Feng was relieved, but his father's evaluation of himself was really too high! The reason why I started and the reason why I can carve it is completely by mistake. On the basis of my feelings, I carved a pair of lion's eyes.
Lu Feng scratched his head and asked with a smile, "Dad, how much can you buy to carve this stone lion?"
Lu Zhenhai smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, stone carvings like ours can't be sold for a lot of money. If the finished product is good, it may be sold for one or two thousand yuan each. If the finished product is poor, it's only a few hundred yuan! You know, it takes a lot of time to carve a stone carving, just like the stone lion I carved. It took me six days to carve it, and it took me a day to carve it in its eyes.
Lu Feng nodded silently and was about to speak when he heard his father sigh, "However, carving a stone lion can make much more money than working with the loess facing the loess every day. If I do well a month, I can carve about ten pieces of finished products, and the total price can also reach 6,000 to 7,000 yuan, and the carving is not If it goes well, only three or four pieces can be carved every month. Sometimes the income is less than 2,000 yuan.
Lu Feng said, "Dad, I think it's very hard for you to carve a stone lion. When I just came from home, I told my mother not to do such a thing. My son can make money now and make a lot of money. You and my mother don't want to do anything in the future. Go to Jiyang City with me to enjoy the happiness. Of course, if you are willing to stay here, anyway, don't do this dirty and tiring work!"
Lu Zhenhai shook his head and said seriously, "Xiaofeng, I understand what you are thinking, and I know that you have been a filial child since you were a child, but the days when your mother and I came back from sunrise and sunset have been too long. If we suddenly do nothing, we will not get used to it, and we will even feel that we don't know how to live. What should I do! Your father has received your heart, but don't worry about our business! Follow your master to learn medicine, and you will be able to treat more patients in the future!"
Lu Feng nodded and smiled, "Dad, don't worry! Your son will never humiliate you! By the way, my mother just asked me to come here for dinner. Shall we go back?
Since the eyes of the big stone lion were carved by Lu Feng, which was a great success, he nodded and smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, since the meal is ready, let's go back to cook first. If you are free at the party, you can come here with me to carve some stone carvings!"
Lu Feng waved his hand and smiled, "Forget it. I'm almost blinded by the carving technology. Just now, I felt like I was dreaming, so unreal. You asked me to carve stone carving, which is simply an insult to stone carving. Besides, when I came back this time, I also brought a lot of traditional Chinese medicine books. If there is nothing to do at home, I will accompany you and my mother, read the traditional Chinese medicine books well, and strengthen my knowledge foundation.
Lu Zhenhai just said by the way. Hearing his son's refusal, he was not unhappy. He patted the dust on his body. He took Lu Feng away from the small workshop and walked home.
"Xiaofeng! Over the years, your mother and I have paid off all the debts owed by carving stone statues, and we still have a few rich money in our hands. It can even be said that the living standards of our whole village have been greatly improved, which is also due to stone carving. A few days ago, the village head also said that the people in our village should unite. The price of stone carvings is too high. After all, every texture and every detail on this stone carving has paid everyone's hard work. The efforts and harvest must be proportional!"
Lu Feng smiled and said, "Dad, your internal cultivation is also very high. It should be much faster than others in carving, right?"
When Lu Zhenhai heard Lu Feng's words, he quickly turned his head and looked around and found that there was no one around him. Then he stared at Lu Feng with anger and whispered, "Don't mention the internal gas outside."
