carved heart

Chapter 32 The Final Round (4)
Looking around the mountains and rivers, leaning on the railing for ten miles to see the beauty of lotus fragrance?No, it is not.On the boating pond, picking lotus and laughing, it's just a beautiful scene, not her prospering summer, not the summer she understands most deeply.

Every summer when her grandfather was with her, her grandfather would take her to a high place to look far away and see all things.

One year, her grandfather took her, who had not yet started to learn nuclear carving, to Cangshan Mountain.

Grandfather hugged her and looked into the distance. It happened to be early summer at that time.Grandfather said: "Ayin, this is the great world of nuclear carvers."

She didn't understand it at the time, but the look on her grandfather's face was very profound.

The grandfather looked solemn and solemn, as if he had glimpsed a divine light, and his whole body was shining brightly.

It was at that time that she began to want to learn how to carve cores, and she also wanted to have a great world.

She opened her eyes and said suddenly: "I want a peach pit, a big peach pit."

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the nuclear carving technicians came to look at him one after another.

Want another peach pit?
The people watching the game were also extremely surprised, and whispers suddenly sounded in the crowd.Luo Yuan frowned slightly. It's not that there are no stone carving technicians who want peach pits in the three rounds, but it's been an hour now, and Yin still wants new peach pits?

Compared with everyone's doubts, Shangguan Shixin saw a different brilliance in her eyes than before.

He ordered: "Send a big core to Miss Yin."

Immediately, a servant responded, picked out the biggest peach pit from the spare peach pits, and sent it to Ah Yin.A Yin thanked him, but now he saw no one else, picked up the stone carving tools and began to carve.

Green trees in Cangshan Mountain, lakes and rivers, the vast world becomes a microcosm, all in the tiny inch of the peach core.

Saturday Lang felt that Ah Yin was crazy, and there were only four hours left.This time is different from the first and second rounds, the nuclear carving is much more complicated, even he himself can't grasp the perfect carving of the lotus core carving in five hours.

If it wasn't for the contestants not being able to talk, Liu Liulang wanted to tell Ah Yin at this moment that if she finished carving the previous nuclear sculpture, she might still have a chance of winning at the end of the fight, but if she didn't finish carving, she wouldn't even have the chance to participate in the judging!
After another hour and a half, it was noon, and the sun was getting bigger and bigger.

In the previous one and a half hours, Liu Liulang thought he performed well. The beauty had already finished more than half of the lotus picking, and spent another hour carving the remaining half, perfecting the beauty's thin blouse and wind-blown hair. Carry out the final step of grinding and polishing.

He opened the food box and prepared to rest for half an hour before continuing to carve the core.

He drank his tea and looked at Ah Yin.

With this glance, he was immediately choked.Saturday Lang coughed non-stop, his eyes widened.An hour and a half ago, Ah Yin held only a large peach pit with a smooth skin, but now there are continuous mountains and rivers, lakes and rivers!
"Cough cough."

It wasn't until someone coughed heavily to remind Liu Liulang that he suddenly realized that he was so surprised that he poked his head over.No matter how thick-skinned he was, he still felt ashamed, so he quickly retracted, drank some tea and water, and hurriedly carved his own nuclei.

But the shock in my heart is still there.

She carved mountains, rivers and rivers. These are all things with a few knives. They are not like lotus flowers, and they are not like figures.

Five hours finally passed.

As the sun set, the gong sounded again in the huge venue to signify the end.

In the third round, the one with the most peach pits wins. The six stone carvers each have six peach pits.If there is a tie, then another peach pit will be added, and Shangguan Shixin will choose.The six nuclear engravers left the table, starting with the earliest completed nuclear engraver.

Ah Yin was the last to finish.

The first review has the advantage because there is no comparison.Those who pass three stages and cut six will enter the third round are those who have some skills.The first nuclear carving artist carved a farmhouse field. The old man was plowing the fields with his back, and his body was sweating profusely. It fit the theme quite well.

The first nuclear carver got two peach pits.

The second nuclear carver was a child who carved nuclear carves in the shade, which was quite childlike, and he got three peach pits.The third nuclear carving artist also got three peach stones, and the fourth also got three peach stones.

At this time, the crowd gradually heard voices.

"The nuclear carvers brought by Shaodong's family are really picky. There are four nuclear carvers, and the peach pits in their hands have not been touched. I heard that the people brought by Luo Gongcao are already picky enough, but I didn't expect Shangguan's family to be more picky." picky."

"What are you picky about? The four nuclear carvers in front have all mentioned their shortcomings. It is understandable not to give peach pits."

"Ah, yes! Yes!"

Everyone looked up, and a nuclear carver brought by Shangguan's family finally handed out the peach core and gave it to Liu Liulang.Immediately afterwards, the second nuclear carver also sent out the peach core, and he shook his head and chanted: "The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus is opened to both sides of the face. You can't see it when you enter the pool, but you can't see someone coming after listening to the song. Beauty! , lotus leaves and He Tiantian are for refreshing summer."

Yuan Hong, the sixth nuclear carver, felt that although Liu Liulang's nuclear carving beauties were beautiful, they lacked any charm and did not give peach pits.

Saturday Lang looked happy, and finally received five peach pits.

The other four nuclear carving technicians were very envious, and Liu Liulang was one step closer to the leader.

Finally, it was Ah Yin's turn.

Continuous green hills, rivers and lakes, such a beautiful summer scenery, rare and majestic!And the subtleties are delicate, the scalpers who bury their heads in drinking water, and the children playing in the water all ask questions.Almost at the first glance, it conquered all the nuclear carvers.

A small nuclear carving actually makes people feel like swallowing mountains and rivers.

The six peach pits were neatly placed in front of Ah Yin.

Yuan Hong asked: "How did you come up with this nuclear sculpture?"

A Yin said with a smile: "When I was young, my grandfather took me to climb high and look far away. At first I only felt the beauty of the scenery, but later I felt that the beauty is so beautiful. If I can stay on the peach pit, what a wonderful thing it would be?" She had practiced before, and her grandfather was very fond of mountain and river core carvings, and often taught her, which enabled her to quickly carve this core carving within three hours.Although the details can be refined, but there is not much time, she chose the simplest way to deal with it.

Yuan Hong praised: "It's really wonderful."

In words, there is an undisguised appreciation for Ah Yin.

There is no need to announce the six walnuts. Everyone knows who is the leader of this fighting nuclear conference.Just as Luo Yuan was waiting for the announcement, suddenly a man dressed as an officer and soldier rushed over, his voice resounding like a bell.

"My lord, the thief who stole the questions yesterday has been captured!"

As soon as these words came out, the six nuclear carvers frowned, and one of them asked, "Has the little thief confessed?"

The man said: "The little thief is cunning and knows how to pretend, but he is actually someone in the arena. Come and bring the little thief here."

Shen Changtang smelt the tea slowly, and said, "Such a major event happened in the Fighting Nuclear Conference, why didn't Luo Gongcao inform Benhou?"

Luo Yuan said: "The lower officials don't dare to disturb Lord Hou. They wanted to report the stolen goods to Lord Hou after they were found."

"Oh, you got the stolen goods?"

Just then the officer said again: "If you go back to Lord Hou, the stolen goods have been seized."

At this moment, two officers and soldiers came in escorting a person from outside the arena. Everyone took a closer look and felt familiar.The officers and soldiers said again: "Report your meritorious service. The little thief is here. He is a servant of the Luo Mansion, Ah Si."

Everyone finally remembered.

Ah Si, Ah Si, isn't that the follower in charge of leading the way in the venue?Actually go to steal the question?
The crowd started whispering again.

"What's the use of him stealing questions?"

"He's not a nuclear carving technician..."

"Could it be sold to some nuclear carving artist?"

As soon as the suspicion came out, everyone couldn't calm down.Especially the nuclear carving technicians who failed in the first two rounds shouted: "My lord must give us justice!"

Luo Yuan looked unbelievable, and said: "Defense by day and night, but it's hard to guard against family thieves! Ah Si, you have disappointed me!" He knelt down and pleaded guilty to Shen Changtang, saying: "Master Hou, the little thief came from Our Luo family, the lower officials are willing to plead guilty, it is because the lower officials did not control the servants well."

It was also at this time that Ah Si cried out violently: "My lord, it's all a villain's obsession for a while! I was instigated by that Yin family! My lord is clearly aware!"

Another three or two officers and soldiers came quickly, presenting brocade bags with both hands.

"My lord, I found this thing in the Yin family. It is exactly the question for today's exam."

The six nuclear carvers looked exactly the same, even the positions of the seals were almost the same!All of a sudden, the way most people looked at A Yin changed!

"I didn't expect that she actually cheated!"

As soon as the word "cheating" was uttered, it seemed that everyone's heartfelt voice was spoken, and the discussion became louder and louder.Even the nuclei sculptures carved by A Yin before have been brought with a layer of prejudice, and those seemingly amazing moves seem to have a suitable reason.

"She is a girl who is only twenty years old, and she is not a genius. I just said, how could she be able to carve so fast. Six knives, huh, it looks like a joke now. I am afraid that I already know the topic of the meeting. Ah Si’s entourage is in collusion, otherwise, how can she, a little girl, carve a white-haired old man whom she has never seen before so well and quickly in just one hour? I have been learning nuclear carving for seven years, and I can’t even do it. So far, is she still a girl?"

As the saying goes, when the wall falls and everyone pushes, if someone starts, someone immediately picks up.

"I was also suspicious before. Not to mention the first round, the second round was also very suspicious. Does anyone remember? Before the second round started, Ah Si had a few conversations with her outside the court. It was at that time that the title was revealed. Everything goes well and the carving is so well thought out that it can't be figured out in just two hours, needless to say, it must have been prepared long ago."

There are also nuclear carving technicians who don't believe in Ah Yin's fraud.

Such a gentle and quiet girl treats people and things with gentleness and gentleness, and such a serious and terrible word of cheating doesn't seem to be related to her.

"...It may also be framed. Maybe some people feel dissatisfied and dislike a little girl riding on their head. Everyone understands the reason why a big tree attracts wind."

"Don't talk nonsense! If I have the ability to steal questions, I'm sure I'll use it myself, so I won't be willing to frame other people!"

"Don't forget, if she really knew the topic in the third round, why did she spend an hour carving an irrelevant core sculpture? She has already started to carve the core sculpture of the scenery at the bottom of the mountain slowly."

"Bah. How do you know that she didn't show it to everyone on purpose? You want to prove your innocence. That's why you deliberately made the wrong first one, so that everyone won't suspect her. I won't say anything else, just answer me One question. In the end, Luo Gongcao, the nuclei carving talent that made her win the first prize, has been shown to us just now. In three hours, if he hadn't come prepared, Yongping's nuclei carving masters may not be able to complete it!"

The person being asked was speechless.

During the two-day fighting nuclear conference, Yin's performance was really unexpected, like a nuclear carving wizard born out of nowhere, shining brilliantly.

The word wizard can explain many things, but nowadays, putting it on a girl not only makes a group of men feel unbalanced, but also makes them feel ashamed.A dignified boy can't compare to a girl in her twenties?Isn't that a joke?
But no one is willing to be the first to admit that their skills are inferior to others. Until Ah Si's arrival opened the hole, the long-buried vicious guesses in his heart were bloody peeled off.

The word fraud makes all vicious speculation seem so aboveboard.

"Look at her good appearance, maybe she's doing something secretly."

"Such a person, if he doesn't punish him, how can he be worthy of all the nuclear carving technicians in the Fighting Nuclear Conference!"

I don't know who started it, and then someone echoed, and gradually, it became a uniform shout.

People are shaking their arms and shouting!

"Severe punishment! Give justice to all nuclear carving technicians!"

The five nuclear carving technicians in the third round were not as impulsive as the rest.

They are different. I had contact with A Yin last night and this morning. Her knowledge and conversation about the nuclear carving cannot be connected with a fraudulent person.It's just that the general situation is like this at this time, and no one dares to stand up and refute.

They looked at Ah Yin.

She had a strange look on her face.

Yuan Hong didn't believe that this girl would do such a thing!
He said: "The word fraud cannot be concluded casually, this matter must be strictly investigated."

Luo Yuan asked: "Yin Shi, can you admit that you cheated?"

Everyone stared at Ah Yin.

I saw her stepping out of the line slowly and walking towards Ah Si, she lowered her head and asked him, "Are you sure I really tricked you into stealing the questions?" She still spoke gently, and the others didn't question or shout at all. embarrass her.She looked at Ah Si calmly and powerfully.

Such a pair of black and white eyes made Ah Si have no reason to feel guilty.But thinking about it in a blink of an eye, she is just a nuclei sculptor, with no power or power in her family, and now she is about to emerge but offends others, so how can she have any future?He was determined, pretending to be anxious, and said: "Girl, are you going to turn your face and deny anyone? You made an agreement with the villain, because the villain's elder brother is working in the mansion, so you let me cooperate from inside to outside. You still After agreeing to my work, I will divide the 50 taels of silver into ten taels!"

Luo Yuan stared at her.

"Yin, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, do you recognize it?"

Ah Yin said, "If I deny it, what will your lord do with me?"

Luo Yuan said: "According to the rules of fighting cores, cheaters cannot carve cores for the rest of their lives."

"Oh, so that's the case." She nodded slowly, and said again: "Dare to ask my lord, what does physical evidence refer to?"

Luo Yuan didn't expect her to be so reckless, she turned a blind eye to all the witnesses and material evidences in front of her.But Luo Jiao couldn't help it anymore, she sneered and said: "Are you blind? You instigated the person yourself, and found the things from your house. Do you still want to open your eyes and talk nonsense?"

Ah Yin also smiled.

"Ask my lord again, Ah Si is your servant, how do I know if your lord asked Ah Si to slander me?"

Ah Si kowtowed violently: "Girl, I don't want the money anymore! If I hadn't been obsessed with ghosts for a while, I wouldn't have helped you either! I wouldn't have let my lord down! My lord is fair, you are the master of Qingtian! It's fine if you don't have the right mind, How dare you still slander your lord! My lord, it’s all bad for the villain, it’s the villain’s fault, and the villain is willing to apologize with death!”

As he said that, he broke free from the guards on both sides, and rushed towards the boulder abruptly.

Unexpectedly, he didn't hit the boulder, and there was a force coming from his shoulder and neck, and there was a click, and the shoulder bone shattered, causing Ah Si to grin his teeth in pain.

Yan Mo said indifferently as if he was carrying a chicken, "Master Hou doesn't want to see blood today."

Ah Si's behavior made most people look at Ah Yin with disdain.

To force a servant to this point!

Luo Yuan was furious: "What a daring trickster! How dare you slander me! Lang Lang Qiankun, can you stand up to your conscience and all the nuclear carving technicians! I will ask you for the last time, do you agree or not? "

"I also ask the adults one last question, when was the title stolen last night?"

Luo Yuan said, "Xu Shi is four quarters."

She said: "If the title is stolen at four o'clock in the morning, but if Ah Si really gives it to me, it will take a lot of time to cooperate with me inside and out. And everyone is there for all to see. After the fighting nuclear conference ended yesterday, I will Has returned home, never left the house half a step."

Luo Yuan said: "This doesn't mean that Ah Si didn't give you the title. Don't forget that the title was discovered in Yin's house. Ah Si can sneak into the mansion guarded by the guard, so why can't Ah Si not sneak into your Yin family?" Home?"

Ah Yin said: "Let's say Ah Si stole the question to me. It takes a quarter of an hour by car, and at least two quarters of an hour by foot." She smiled slightly: "That means that when I want to get the question, it will be at least six quarters of Xu o'clock." .”

She raised her eyes and said expressionlessly: "Your Excellency probably doesn't know something. Last night, the Marquis was sympathetic to us and invited six of us nuclear carving technicians to the villa overnight. At [-]:[-] p.m., I happened to be in the carriage of the Marquis. Then Due to the curfew, until the start of the fighting nuclear conference this morning, he has been with the five nuclear carving technicians. Could it be that the servant of the adult has the ability to fly over the walls? He was able to break into the mansion of the guardian and the heavily guarded villa? My lord has ulterior motives for raising such a domestic servant."

Her expression changed, and her eyes were cold. It happened that the setting sun was everywhere, covering her in red light. At that moment, she had an aura that no one dared to violate.

Shen Changtang said casually: "I did invite a few of them over last night, Luo Gongcao, what's going on?"

Luo Yuan's complexion suddenly turned pale.

He never expected that Mu Yanghou would do such a trick to him.

He couldn't think of anything to say for a while.
