Chapter 51 Root Sculpture Competition 2
The tense atmosphere has always been synonymous with the root sculpture competition. Even those audiences who come to watch the competition and watch the shortlisted works of this preliminary competition in the exhibition hall at this moment, they are still vaguely in the bottom of their hearts and sweating for their favorite players. Because, it is not difficult to see from these preliminary works that this year's root carving competition masters are full of clouds. Especially Huo Guanyu's 'Tiger Jumps off the Cliff'. The shape of the tiger and the posture of wanting to rise all vividly present the fierce spirit of a tiger on the edge of the cliff.
"This cabbage is Sharon's work! So beautiful! Every fiber is clear. Only she has this talent to give life to the work!"
Someone in the exhibition hall surrounded the display cabinet and exclaimed.
As we all know, Sharon's works are delicate with a sasty and heroic spirit, and this cabbage obviously does not have that hardness, but it is soft with careful care, but it is a little touching. That meticulousness, like a mother's hand gently touching her head, and like a mother's hand holding us forward step by step, we always feel safe...
It is also this style that makes the first person to see the cabbage make an unsure exclaim.
Yu Zhanpeng, who followed other people's footsteps and admired it while walking, followed the amazing voice. When he entered the eye, he was deeply attracted by the one-foot-long cabbage.
He doesn't know what others think of the cabbage. He only knows the fibers, which only reveal an inch of leaves one by one, which contains the most delicate and sincere feelings in someone's heart. The clear fibers seem to be the trajectory of a child's step by step, and she is the most beautiful person on the side of the track!
His nose was sore, and Yu Zhanpeng was a little moved. He turned his eyes a few times, and his eyes shifted to the signature of the author of the cabbage.
Why isn't it signed by Ouyang Ningxue, but Sharon? I clearly remember that Ami's work in the competition was antelope. He is sure that this cabbage is from Sharon, whom he has admired for a long time, but...
What the hell is going on? Who is the real Sharon, Ning Xue and Ami?
covering his painful head, Yu Zhanpeng almost collapsed. In his fearful heart, he heard the bell of the end of the world ring. If Ning Xue is Sharon, then he will make a big mistake. There is really only a dead end between them, and there is no room for turning!
Thinking about their journey and experiencing so many ups and downs, even if no one blesses their marriage, he firmly believes that they will be happy. But until now, he realized that the happiness he insisted on was not the happiness that Ning Xue wanted. The love he insisted on hurt her in the final analysis.
Once, she gave him countless opportunities, but in the end she got his ruthless betrayal. I met her in the bathroom two days ago, and he was cruel to her with a big belly. She must have hated him so much. He also thought that he would leave angrily that day, stay away from her, no longer think of her, and miss her. But when he saw everyone questioning her just now, he couldn't help but feel distressed. He asked her silently why you were here? This is not your wayward place.
But at this moment, he seemed to understand why she was standing there. It was a mother's battle of fame, and she wanted her children to be proud of her! Unfortunately, all this seems to be known too late.
With a sigh, Yu Zhanpeng turned around and retreated back along the way he came. When he passed the antelope carved by Ami, he seemed to hear the antelope's sarcastic laughter...
At this time, in the temporary studio prepared by the organizer of the root carving competition for the contestants, the contestants are doing their best to carve the materials in their hands.
Ning Xue's luck this year is not bad. Although the material drawn is not particularly convenient, it is at least better than Huo Guanyu's half-foot-long wooden stick.
Although the material is good, Ning Xue frowned. Last night's abdominal pain began again for some reason. Fortunately, I can stand it. But even if she is strong, the faint pain from time to time, coupled with the weak performance of her injured right hand, still made her a little upset.
"Sister, you take a break first, and I'll finish the rest of the work."
Looking at Ning Xue sadly, Ouyang Hongxuan pinched Ning Xue's most convenient carving knife. The material they drew was actually a piece of wood the size of a palm. However, Ning Xue has told Ouyang Hongxuan about her idea, so he is confident that he has the ability to complete his sister's embryonic semi-finished product.
Not to mention, Ouyang Hongxuan, a man with good talent in the eyes of Ning Xue and Huo Guanyu, really gave full play to this kind of work. His attentive look made Ning Xue, who was watching beside him, admired him.
Last year, seeing that he had a strong interest in root carving, she taught him some common sense and simple techniques of carving. Although Huo Guanyu later instructed him for a few days, after all, he was busy with a lot of things this year and could not spare a lot of time to practice carving. But some time ago, when he helped herself deal with 'cabbage', she knew that her brother's carving level had reached a professional level. If he participates in the competition this year, I believe he will get a good result. However, this year's root carving competition is allowed to bring its own assistant, so why don't you take this opportunity to push him well?
In fact, Ning Xue has such an idea, which has not been planned for a long time. Previously, when the embryo came out, the little life in her stomach had a problem because it was too tight. Now as long as she exerts a little force, or pricks her stomach, the pain will try to devour her.
In the morning, she appeared in front of her mother with a bad face, but she asked her not to participate in the competition with tears. Concerned about the significance of the last competition before childbirth, she didn't agree to say anything and left her worried mother, who insisted on coming here with Huo Guanyu. Ouyang Hongxuan came later, and he must have been entrusted by him to delay the time...
In the tense and orderly competition hall, with the bell ringing, all the contestants came out and stood in front of the stage.
"Are you all right? Is the child naughty?
Seeing Ning Xue sweating on the side, Huo Guanyu asked with concern.
Shaking her head tiredly, Ning Xue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ouyang Hongxuan standing next to her. If it weren't for him, Sharon's game this year would have been a pity.
Thinking of the name Sharon, Ning Xue couldn't help looking at Ami. She didn't know why a rich woman like Ami insisted on fighting for Sharon's name?
Feeling Ning Xue's gaze, Ami nodded elegantly to her and looked away again. That's indeed more stylish than Ning Xue. However, no matter how similar she is, in the eyes of Ouyang Hongxuan and Huo Guanyu, it is false.
In a burst of enthusiastic applause, the hostess who changed her clothes stepped on the stage with elegant steps: "Guests and friends, after our patient waiting and hours of struggle with our players, we have finally ushered in the most wonderful moment of this year's root carving competition! Next, our staff are invited to display the exquisite works of the contestants on the big screen! At the same time, please write down the number of your favorite works and vote for your favorite works!"
There was another burst of applause. The host, many contestants, the audience, and everyone on the jury looked back at the works displayed on the big screen.
In the audience's 'tut' sound and the 'dudu' sound in the voting machine, Huo Guanyu, with a confident face, gently bent his finger. His work finally appeared.
His material is a wooden stick, but he skillfully used the straightness of the wooden stick to successfully shape it into a beautiful hairpin with a butterfly at the top. The butterfly that spread its wings and wants to fly shows all the charms of the wooden hairpin. Naturally, this seemingly simple but laborious work won a lot of applause.
Although the author of the work was not disclosed, his votes are the contestant with the most votes so far.
After Huo Guanyu's work was displayed, it was a monkey-shaped work. The lifelike and vivid macaque lit up everyone's eyes and couldn't help praising it.
Is that Ami's work? Ning Xue, who was slightly shocked, looked at Ami in disbelief. She is so carved! At her level, she doesn't need to pretend to be me at all, but why...
There was no suspense. After the thunderous applause, the votes of the 'Monkey' soared. When it slowly stabilized, it surpassed Huo Guanyu's vote. Although it is not much, for Huo Guanyu, he has missed this year's championship again.
The last display is the work jointly completed by Ning Xue and Ouyang Hongxuan. When their work appeared on the screen, Ouyang Hongxuan gently pulled Ning Xue's sleeve, "I'm a little nervous."
"It's not promising! Are you so cowardly when you held the staff meeting?
He laughed softly at Ouyang Hongxuan, and Ning Xue gave him a smile of peace of mind. In fact, she is also a little confused at this time. Ami's carving skills are so high that even Huo Guanyu, who has studied root carving for many years, has been defeated. I'm afraid that this year's joint work with Hongxuan is only a foil for her to win the championship. After all, Ami's works selected in the preliminary competition scored very well.
After a desertion, Ning Xue and Ouyang Hongxuan both came to their senses and looked at the big screen with trembling eyes. Strangely, at this time, all the audience was as quiet as water, with a pair of bright eyes staring at the screen without much color.
This phenomenon has appeared for the first time in the root sculpture competition. Not only are the well-informed judges confused, but even the female hostess who reacted very quickly on the spot was stunned. I don't know how to resolve this solidified scene?
What's the situation? Ning Xue, who was a little confused, thought she had missed something when she was distracted just now?
"Good! It's so carved!"
Someone cheered loudly in the silent audience.
Ning Xue, standing on the stage, suddenly recognized that the person who made the sound was Yu Zhanpeng. Immediately, Ning Xue was stunned. What was he trying to do?
As if waking up from a dream, the dark audience applauded one after another. The applause like the tide is better than the previous works of Ami and Huo Guanyu.
"It turns out that everyone is intoxicated by this work of 'giving up children and holding up hope'."
The smiling host stood under the big screen with the microphone. Just now, she thought that everyone didn't like the wooden carving of holding a baby at the end. Now it seems that she found that the idea was wrong.
There is not too much suspense, and the wooden carving of 'prouching the child' has achieved the best results.
In the later comprehensive review, the average score of Ning Xue's 'cabbage' and improvised 'holding up the child' was once again higher than Huo Guanyu and Ami, who could most threaten her, becoming the champion of this year's root carving competition. Ami, who pretended to be Sharon, won the runner-up, and Huo Guanyu won the third place. Of course, Ouyang Hongxuan, who helped Ning Xue win the championship, has also become a major focus of the root sculpture arena.
Huo Guanyu doesn't care about such a result. As long as the champion is not Ami, who pretends to be Ning Xue's name, he doesn't mind the number one.
He is so open-minded, but Ami, who wants to win, has a cold and ugly face. She didn't expect that she had worked hard to practice wood carving for so long, but in the end she lost to Ning Xue, who had injured her right hand.
"Let me announce one thing."
At this time, someone stood up on the judge's bench.
When the light hit, everyone saw that he was the authoritative Miao master in the carving world.
Huo Guanyu, who was standing on the stage, took a small step forward excitedly, and his eyes fell on Master Miao. Why is Master here? Didn't he say that he didn't like such ups and downs?
nodded to the beloved disciple, and Master Miao's voice sounded loudly: "The champion can be held. I believe everyone is curious about who Sharon has been standing on this award-winning stage over the years?"
This problem is very serious and has caused an uproar in the calm lake. Yes, why are there two Sharons in this game? Just now, the big guy wanted to find out, but because of the event, it was temporarily put on hold. Now that the event is basically over, it's time to study who is the Sharon they admire. Even if both Sharon's grades are good, it is still necessary to find out whether they are true or false.
Just as the big guy wanted to make a sound to urge Master Miao, several men wearing criminal police costumes and a mighty face appeared at the safe exit of the root sculpture competition.
The appearance of these men immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. What are they trying to do?
