In the following time, Yue Yuan stayed in Pengcheng for a few days.

Among them, Wei Zhenzhen was called over by Mrs. Dong Ming to accompany her. For some reason, Mrs. Dong Ming was very interested in this delicate girl Wei Zhenzhen and thought this girl's temperament was very good.

Regarding Wei Zhenzhen's safety, Yue Yuan was not worried about it under the care of Mrs. Dongming.

And he himself wandered around Pengcheng alone.

Look at the customs and customs here.

"Um?"

Yue Yuan stood in front of a stall and looked at the old man in front of him very seriously as he pinched the dough. Under the instructions of the customer next to him, he created extremely vivid animal shapes. Puppies, lambs and so on.

, it looks lifelike in the old man’s hands.

"Pinch me a monkey!"

beside.

A short boy with a runny nose took out his clothes for a long time, and then he took out a copper coin, handed it to the old man, sniffed and gave instructions.

"Okay! Wait a moment!"

The old man took the copper plate and quickly began to pinch it under Yue Yuan's gaze. At the same time, he also used other tools to quickly perform some carvings. After a while, a small-faced monkey appeared on the old man's head.

Appeared in hand.

"Give!"

After handing the masked monkey to the child, the old man's eyes fell on Yue Yuan and asked: "Master, I wonder what you want?" In fact, from the very beginning, the old man noticed that he was standing beside Yue Yuan.

Next to Yue Yuan.

In his eyes, this handsome young man in white just kept looking at him at work, seemingly very interested in his craft. Of course, the old man would not think that this young man was interested in his own work.

In his opinion, the other party is just a novelty.

"..."

Hearing the old man's question, a smile flashed across Yue Yuan's face, and then he pointed at the noodles on his stall and said, "Old man, besides pinching small animals, what else can you pinch?"

His eyes lit up.

After hearing Yue Yuan's question, the old man couldn't help but reveal a trace of self-confidence on his face. Facing Yue Yuan's gaze, he said confidently: "That's natural. The old man won't just pinch small animals.

What I’m best at is pinching people!”

"Moodle maker?"

Yue Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and then he thought of pinching Monkey, Zhu Bajie, etc., but then he thought about it and there were no such things at this time. Naturally, the pinching in the other person's mouth was not this.

"good!"

Listening to Yue Yuan's doubts, the old man nodded and responded affirmatively: "Pinch someone!"

"What kind of pinching method is that?"

Seeing that the old man was so sure, Yue Yuan became interested in the pinch at this time, so he asked with interest.

"As long as I can remember the people I've met, I can figure them out!"

The old man replied like this. What he showed in his words was the self-confidence that shocked even Yue Yuan. It was like a top martial arts master who announced to everyone that he was the second in the world, and no one dared to claim the first in the world.

.

"so!"

After pondering for a while, the old man looked Yue Yuan up and down, and then said: "I'll pick a young man out of him!" After saying that, the old man seemed to have an idea in his mind, and he quickly lowered his head and started working.

"..."

While the old man was busy, Yue Yuan also watched the old man working with admiration. Under his gaze, the dough began to deform and stretch in the old man's hands. Then, with the movements of the old man's hands, the dough continued to be kneaded.

, and soon a human figure appeared in the old man's palm.

But if you want to be similar, just kneading it is not enough. The old man picked up the knife from the side and began to carve it carefully. After a while, a small young man in white clothes appeared in the old man's hand.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the center of his eyebrows was slightly wrinkled. Judging from that appearance, it was exactly what Yue Yuan looked like right now.

Later.

The old man picked up a small bamboo stick from the side and thrust it directly into the man's crotch.

This action directly made Yue Yuan, who was observing the old man's movements, feel a chill in his buttocks, and a rush of cold air rose directly from the soles of his feet to the back of his head. Because of the bamboo stick inserted, the man in front of him became slightly fatter, and then the old man again

It was just a burst of movement, but he began to outline and carve the clothes of the man with a face. After a while, the whole man with a face was already lifelike.

"Master!"

"Give!"

After taking the noodle handed over by the old man, not to mention the behavior when inserting the stick that just made people hairy, but the image of this noodle alone is worthy of admiration.

Holding it in his hand, he looked over and over at the face. The clothes, posture, and even appearance were very similar to his own. When he took a quick look, he seemed to be seeing himself in the mirror. But this face was just like the face.

It's really too small.

I have to admit that the old man has extremely high attainments in this area.

However, after careful observation again, Yue Yuan discovered the biggest flaw of this man. Although he looked very similar in appearance and posture, he did not have that temperament. This shortcoming allowed the old man's craftsmanship to be called craftsmanship.

, but it cannot reach everyone’s level.

As if feeling Yue Yuan's doubts and discoveries, the old man couldn't help but sigh and said: "Master, I am old. If I want to carve out the charm, my body cannot bear it!"

Hearing this, Yue Yuan raised his head and glanced at the old man. The old man was very old and looked like a dying tree. The old man had no martial arts skills at all and was just an ordinary person. At such an age, he still had to set up a stall and make dough.

To make a living, it is conceivable that the other party's life will not be any easier.

"But it's not bad! Right now, the most important thing is to live steadily, isn't it?"

After being silent for a long time, Yue Yuan smiled and comforted.

"..."

Surprisingly, the old man did not smile. Instead, he continued to glance up and down Yue Yuan's body with an observation gaze. After a long while, he said: "Young master, you don't know what's going on in the world right now."

situation?"

"The war has begun!"

Smiling bitterly, the old man began to clean up the stall. While cleaning up, he murmured to himself: "The old man's eldest son died with the Holy Shang in the Goguryeo expedition. The second son went to join the rebel army without being a man.

, the old man is the only one at home!"

"Hey, I guess the second child won't live too long!"

However, his rickety body exuded a kind of helpless sadness. While packing his things, the old man sighed: "The two sons are unfilial, but this is what they have to do. But the old man is willing to see this situation, otherwise,

After the war broke out, I really didn’t know what to do. It’s a pity that the old man could die, but this craft has disappeared like this!”

Yue Yuan understood the old man's words. The so-called unfilial piety meant having no offspring, and Yue Yuan also understood the old man's worry. After the war broke out, having children was actually the greatest sorrow for the common people.

It’s not about giving up on future generations, it’s about giving up on yourself.

No matter which choice you make, it will hurt to the core, hurt to the point of numbness, and pain to the point of indifference.

"..."

Standing aside with a doughnut that looked like his own in his hand, Yue Yuan watched the old man busy quietly. After a long while, Yue Yuan finally said: "Old man, come with me, and by the way, you can do the doughmaking work."

Just leave it to me!"

"Um?"

Turning around in surprise, the old man seemed very surprised that a young man from a well-established family was interested in such a lowly job. However, with the old man's decades of experience, he could still analyze whether a person's eyes were serious or not.

.

Obviously.

In the old man's eyes, Yue Yuan was very serious.

"good!"

After a while, the old man met Yue Yuan's gaze. He agreed and said, "But I'm just teaching you how to make dough, but I won't follow you!"

"Why?"

Yue Yuan was a little surprised.

"The second brother is going to rebel, I can't control it too much!"

"But the boss's bones are still in Liaodong. After the old man handed over his craftsmanship to the young master, he wanted to go there... His son's bones are there. As a father, I can't watch my son freezing and suffering there!" said this.

At that moment, the old man's face that looked like old tree bark twitched, revealing a rather worried smile.

"..."

After hearing this, Yue Yuan stopped speaking.

for a long time.

Yue Yuan slowly turned around and walked slowly towards the small courtyard where Mrs. Dongming was. At the same time, his voice echoed in the old man's ears.
