I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 37 Balancing the Bamboo Dragonfly

The eldest mother didn't understand why the elder father severely reprimanded Xiao Jia, but Wang Ge understood.It doesn't matter whether Xiao Jia's words are intentional or not, if they are spread around and caught by others, it will be easy to make her say something miraculous, or even demonized!
A few years ago, Wang Ge was extremely cautious in showing off his craftsmanship, because he was afraid of being demonized by his neighbors.But after the craftsman's exam, she knew that if she continued to be cautious, she would miss the craftsman's exam.

The road of craftsman is easy to get started, but difficult to get out of a master. Even after being admitted as a craftsman, there are still middle craftsmen, great craftsmen, and so on.She took the artisan boy test at the age of ten, and she was already far behind other artisan boys, so how could she dare to learn it slowly like before.

What's more, Hutou is almost at the age of reading and writing. If she doesn't show up, what will Hutou do?So, fortunately, I had the experience of taking the examination of craftsmen in the county. Fortunately, there were many craftsmen and examiners at that time, so how could I not make good use of the reasons given to her to lie!
After Jia Yu and her party left, the courtyard finally became quiet.Wang Ge quietly carved the third bamboo hairpin again, which is actually a pair with the first one.

The head of the hairpin is the right half of the word "bamboo".First cut out the general shape of the characters, and then slow down every step of the tip of the knife to carve out the thin gold body "亇" that looks like characters and leaves.

The sound produced by the contact between the tip of the knife and bamboo or wood is different. A qualified wood carver can distinguish various materials by the sound alone.

The process of craftsmen carving dead wood into fancy patterns is not just a simple transformation, but to give new life to dead wood: creation!

In this process, the ingenuity must be pious, the carving knife must be pious, the creativity must be pious, and the basic skills must be pious!So even if she carves a simple hairpin head, even if Wang Ge knows that she will not make mistakes, every time she conceives, starts, cuts, micro-cuts, and starts again, she is fully devoted, and there is never a double-purpose.

Two bamboo hairpins are enough, no matter how confident she is, it depends on whether the salesman knows the goods.Wang Ge relaxes and comes out of the room. He sees his elder father also in the courtyard, chatting with his father.Sunshine flooded the courtyard, and Wang Peng, the sleep god, seemed to have had enough sleep. He laughed while running, and deliberately knocked the pudgy Amei to the ground.

As soon as Wang Yun pulled Wang Ai up, Wang Peng knocked down his younger brother and younger sister, and hid behind his father giggling, making faces at Wang Yun.

Wang Ge didn't care about the children's fights, but only felt sorry for the children of this era. There are so few things to play with, it's pitiful.

She went into the utility room to find some short pieces of waste bamboo, which were either insect-eaten or damaged. This kind of waste bamboo would definitely not be thrown away, even if it was sun-drenched and used as firewood.Take it to the courtyard, sit next to the elder father, split the bamboo stalk with a bamboo knife, and then cut the bamboo slices. One end is pointed and thin, and the other end is arc-shaped and thick, about the length of the palm.

Wang Weng: "What does Tiger Treasure want to cut, you take a rest, and the eldest father will help you."

Wang Ge squinted his eyes and smiled, "I don't need Daddy's help. It's very simple, I'm doing it for Hutou and the others for fun."

Wang Yun and Wang Peng almost said in unison: "Fun?"

They squatted down together, and Wang Ai realized it later, and yelled "Oh, it's fun", and squatted down too, but fell on his back on the mat.

Wang Yun helped his younger sister to sit steadily, and Wang Ge moved back by himself so that the children would not be splashed by bamboo shavings. "Sister will make you a bamboo dragonfly."

"Bamboo dragonfly? Can it fly?" Wang Peng asked curiously.

Wang Yun thought about it, and asked, "Is it that kind of small wooden stick?" He made a "T" shape with his left and right index fingers, "The kind that flies away when you rub it? Sister, you forgot? Brother Cai and Brother Cang Just played."

"It's not that kind." Wang Ge teased them, deliberately showing off.

The kind that flies as soon as you rub it, the country children do have fun.But what she wants to make is a balancing bamboo dragonfly.

The appearance is not difficult, it is not difficult to make eyes on the sides of the dragonfly's body, and it is not difficult to tie the bamboo wings on both sides. It is a little troublesome to constantly reduce the weight of the wings to adjust the balance of the wings and the whole bamboo dragonfly.

When the tip of the bamboo dragonfly's beak rested on Wang Ge's fingertips, and she gently moved her fingers, the dragonfly was still sticking together like water, not to mention the three children, even Wang Weng was dumbfounded!
"What's the matter?" Wang Dalang heard exclamations, put down the Shau Kei with a smile, tilted his face to the side, and asked.

Wang Ge Chong's three children "hush" and came to Wang Dalang: "Father, stretch out your hand."

She took Father's big rough hand, smoothed his fingers, and put the sharp beak of the bamboo dragonfly on his index finger. "This is a dragonfly I made out of bamboo. It landed on Father's finger now. Can you feel it?" After she finished speaking, she completely let go of her hand.

Wang Dalang: "Hehe, of course."

"Father raised his hand a little, then lowered it."

The bamboo dragonfly trembled like this, only relying on the sharp beak the size of a grain of millet to completely stick to Wang Dalang's fingertips, making the three children grin nervously, and Wang Weng unconsciously scratched his knees.

Wang Dalang boasted: "The dragonfly made by Hu Bao is really good, it's so light and light, it's as if you didn't support it."

Wang Peng said anxiously: "Uncle, my sister is helpless!"

Wang Dalang is only making trouble as a nephew.

Wang Ge looked into Father's eyes, and her smile became far-fetched. She didn't explain, but told Brother: "Give the tiger head to Father for a try. Ah Peng, Ah Ai, neither of you should be in a hurry, don't grab it." , I will make one for each of you from now on.”

"Yeah!" Wang Peng nodded again and again, "I'm obedient, sister Cong will do it for me first."

While the family was chatting and laughing, at the construction site in the west of the village, Ren Suzhi raised his head and laughed, and slapped Huanzhen on the shoulder with his big palm: "Stinky boy, well done! You are allowed to play for a long time tomorrow!"

Huan Zhen solved the bloody case that he racked his brains and had no clue about an hour ago!

It turned out that Huan Zhen estimated the time, if Xiangzheng came immediately after receiving the messenger's news, he would arrive at Jiashe Village after noon.Ren Suzhi, as the head of the security pavilion here, is likely to be demoted on the spot!
If you search for the murderer and the murder weapon according to the routine, it must be too late. The worst result is that the more you search, the more chaotic!

So Huan Zhenxin made a plan, and after reporting it to Ren Suzhi, the latter thought it might be feasible, so he ordered the pavilion guards to divide and detain all the suspects to ensure that each group of ministers could not see or hear each other.

Then Huan Zhen and the two most vicious looking robbers went to the detention point one by one.After arriving, Huan Zhen folded his hands and said nothing, his eyes were naturally sharp, and he felt uncomfortable when he stared at anyone.Then, thinking about his demeanor, he turned his back unhurriedly, walked back a few steps, then turned around suddenly, facing a group of suspects, shouted: "It's him! Hold him down!!"

All the ministers shook like quails, waiting for the begging thief to hold down or drag the murderer away.In this way, at the third detention point, after Huan Zhen yelled angrily, "Hold him down", a servant ran away.

The murderer has been tricked out!

Ren Suzhi ruthlessly kicked the murderer a few times to relieve his anger. The servant was forced to lie on the ground by the beggar, and shouted hysterically with his neck stuck: "Khufu is damned! I just want to kill him too much! Hufu, he should be damned! "

Huan Zhen: "So what if he deserves to die? There are so many people in the world who deserve to die! Are they all killing people at will with a bowstring like you?"

The murderer was startled.

Ren Suzhi and Huan Zhen knew immediately.The murder weapon is really a bowstring!
Huan Zhen: "If I decide that you deserve to die, can I kill you on the spot?"

Tie Lei, who was watching this scene from a distance, rubbed his elbow lightly against Tie Feng: "Look, does the young master look like County Magistrate Huan?"

Tie Feng fiddled with the rolling lamp, and asked, "You said...the capital city wishes every household had lanterns, why can't anyone figure it out?"

Tie Lei groaned, knowing that he was once again making false comments about his master's family.

Looking at the murderer again, this man was in tears, his jaw was trembling, and he roared fiercely: "Kill, kill me! Kill me..." He twisted his mouth, and Ren Suzhi's hand was quick to remove his jaw.

Ren Suzhi smiled: "You want to die so much? Who do you want to protect? Hmm? Or is there a more important secret than killing people?"
