Not long after Xia Hongyu closed the door and went next door, Feifei sat on the sofa seriously, looked into Shen Xing's eyes, and asked: "Uncle Shen, tell me, what do you think of Aunt Xia?"
"Why do you suddenly think of asking this?" Shen Xing laughed.
"I know Aunt Xia has a crush on you, but I can't tell what you are thinking." Old God Feifei said calmly.
Shen Xing shook his head: "I don't have any thoughts about her, that's why you can't tell."
Feifei was surprised: "Then you think of her as..."
"A friend, a good friend who knows how to be grateful and repay, so I will try my best to help her," Shen Xing said.
After saying this, he suddenly noticed that Feifei seemed to feel relieved and asked: "Why are you relieved?"
Feifei shook her head: "Nothing."
Then she raised her head and looked at Shen Xing carefully: "Uncle Shen, I feel that there is something different about you."
"What's different?" Shen Xing looked down at himself.
"Very ordinary, too ordinary." Feifei looked at him from head to toe in surprise, "It's just different from before."
"Is it..." Shen Xing pondered for a while and said, "Is there nothing unusual about me anymore?"
"Yes, it's this feeling of attraction." Feifei clapped her hands and laughed.
She knew that she had the same situation, and it seemed to be more serious, otherwise she wouldn't have attracted the attention of the scary old woman (grandma).
As for Shen Xing, he originally wanted to check Feifei's situation through a "consultant", but he had an additional concern, that is, whether the "consultant" would be interested in Feifei then.
Although it can't be seen now, there is no guarantee that it will produce the same situation as other anomalies after coming into contact with Feifei.
So Shen Xing didn't ask the "consultant" to find the reason for Feifei's current situation. Why was her sense of taste blocked? Who knows that sealing the taste can also seal Feifei’s attractive qualities? etc.
Of course, the method of absorbing characteristics and forming memes through wood carvings is not applicable to Feifei, otherwise she could also use this method to eliminate her attraction to abnormalities.
"But..." Feifei said again at this time: "Although you look very ordinary, I always feel that Uncle Shen, you are like a... time bomb."
"Okay, okay, go to bed." Shen Xing smiled and ruffled her freshly blow-dried hair.
Shortly after Feifei went upstairs to sleep, Shen Xing came down from the second floor, ready to pour a glass of water and then work on wood carving for a while before resting.
I saw Achai sneaking in through the crack in the living room door.
Achai was originally going to walk around the room and leave when nothing happened. But when he saw Shen Xing pouring water into a cup, Achai suddenly froze and stared at Shen Xing motionless.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Xing took a sip of water, put down the cup and looked at him.
Achai immediately wrote in the air: [Master, you have changed. I feel that you are more calm and reserved. You are no longer attracted to abnormality, and you are more like an ordinary ordinary person. 】
"The same meaning seems to sound better after it comes from your mouth." Shen Xing said with a smile.
The implication is that these words are full of flattery.
[Has anyone told you this before? 】 Achai didn't hear anything in his words, he just asked innocently.
"Feifei just said it." Shen Xing nodded, "Tell me, what is your first feeling after seeing me now?"
[You are just an ordinary human being. I don’t take it seriously, and I don’t want to pay too much attention to you. but……】
After writing this, Achai paused and hesitated. After being reminded by Shen Xing, he wrote again: [I suddenly have the idea of entering your dream to absorb the fear value. 】
"Then do you dare to do it?" Shen Xing asked.
Achai immediately threw his head into a rattle.
"By the way, do you know where the cat puppet has gone?" Shen Xing asked.
Achai shook his head to express his ignorance.
"Then have you heard of Meiying?" Shen Xing asked again.
Achai thought for a while, and a lot of black gas came out of his head. This was the result of rapid thinking, but he quickly shook his head.
"Okay, it's okay, you can move around freely."
Shen Xing walked upstairs and continued to work on his wood carvings, preparing to make several copies of all the wood carvings he encountered this time.
Except, of course, for the lifeless wood carvings of human specimens.
Achai looked at Shen Xing's disappearing figure after going upstairs, and that feeling of being ordinary to the extreme gave him another extremely strange experience without even realizing it.
Achai couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Master, he is getting more and more handsome!"
"That's not right." He suddenly lowered his head and thought about it seriously, "It should be that... the compulsion is getting stronger and stronger."
The next day, Shen Xing rested at home for a day and refined and perfected the wood carving he was going to make.
These wood carvings more or less contain some hidden spiritual essence and are of great value. After they are carved, he plans to display them all in the shop to increase their exposure value, which can also fill up his library of master-level works.
Xia Hongyu had already left early.
During the break after carving the wood sculpture, Shen Xing pulled Feifei to her side and told her that her uncle might not show up from now on.
This guy took the opportunity to get close to Feifei. Although he also shared some of the work of taking care of Feifei for himself, he actually just wanted to have a good relationship with Feifei and make a profit, and was not thinking about Shen Xing at all.
So when Shen Xing told Feifei, he didn't hide this guy's sinister intentions.
After Feifei heard that the second-rate guy wanted to replace Shen Xing, she was immediately startled and looked frightened for a while.
Shen Xing said solemnly: "I said he won't appear now. It may be permanent, or it may be temporary. But you have to remember that even after he appears, he will not be the same as before, so you must be careful."
"Yeah." Feifei nodded quickly when she saw that Shen Xing was serious.
At present, that guy is being torn apart by his subconscious dream, but it is only his consciousness that is torn apart. I don’t know if the second-rate guy has become crazy now, or is mentally retarded, or has collapsed to the point where even the abnormal body has dissipated.
These are all unknowns, so we have to be prepared.
"Now when I go to the store, you have to follow me." Shen Xing said: "How is the progress of the personal trainer's recent tutoring for you?"
"After he lectured me for a while, I felt that he was mentally retarded at my age." Feifei said seriously: "These are his exact words."
"Well, I feel the same way." Shen Xing actually agreed with the personal trainer's words.
Feifei looked at him blankly.
"We will go to the store tomorrow." Shen Xing ordered, "Pack your schoolbag in advance and tell the personal trainer to go to the store for tutoring tomorrow, in my workshop."
"Will it affect you?" Feifei was a little worried.
"No." Shen Xing shook his head.
Jinzun Commercial Plaza, Tingwu Woodcarving Shop.
The store was doing business. In the studio inside the store, Shen Xing sat in front of the workbench. He didn't turn on any electric tools during the whole process. He polished the wood carvings manually with gloves on.
Feifei and her personal trainer were sitting at the solid wood square table on the other side, giving tutoring in a low voice.
The personal trainer's surname was Wei. He had a big face. He was about fifty-five or sixty-six years old. Maybe it was because he worked at his desk all the time. He had less hair, his skin was a little dark, and he wore a pair of highly myopic glasses.
But this person is a special teacher, tutoring Feifei in mathematics, um, first grade mathematics.
Just to take his words, "Feifei seems to have learned it before. She understands it as soon as she speaks it, and she understands it as soon as she hears it."
Probably out of curiosity about Shen Xing's career, the teacher would turn to look at Shen Xing from time to time while he was tutoring Feifei.
Every time he turned his head, he would find that the wood carving in Shen Xing's hand was undergoing significant changes, and every time he saw it, this guy's eyes would suddenly light up and become very surprised, as if he had discovered a new world.
During the break, Teacher Wei pushed up the glasses on his nose, stood up and walked behind Shen Xing, observing his work in silence.
Feifei obediently poured some hot water into Teacher Wei's tea cup and brought it to him: "Teacher Wei, I have been talking for so long, please drink some water."
Teacher Wei smiled, took the cup, and couldn't help but sigh: "Feifei, your father's craftsmanship can be regarded as a true 'craftsman'."
Feifei didn't say anything. Shen Xing put down the wooden sculpture in his hand and said with a smile: "Teacher Wei, thank you. If you like which one, tell me and I will give you one."
"How is that possible?" Teacher Wei waved his hand, "I saw it just now. Every work here contains your hard work and has very high ornamental and collection value."
In fact, when Mr. Wei entered this Tingwu woodcarving shop just now, he felt that the decoration in the shop was unusual and revealed an elegant artistic conception. Although he could not explain why he felt this way, he believed that his guess was definitely not true. wrong.
Shen Xing said: "That being said, you are Feifei's teacher. A teacher is like a father. It is not an exaggeration to give you a wood carving."
Teacher Wei still waved his hand: "In this case, you can give me a discount for the one I like."
It seemed that he had only been looking at them for a while and was already attracted to these wood carvings.
"Okay, just take a look and tell me if you like it." Shen Xing nodded.
Teacher Wei rubbed his eyes and did not go out. Instead, he checked in the workshop.
Because there are also some wood carvings that have not been put out, but most of them have not been waxed and have not completed the final process.
Not long after, Teacher Wei pointed to the big tree carving: "This tree is very good, with delicate craftsmanship and natural curves. Every branch seems to be alive. At a glance, I thought the branches were moving in the wind. Well, how much money?"
Shen Xingdao: "This is a high-quality product in our store. In fact, there is a tree carving of the same style but more refined (with more spiritual essence), and that one is more expensive. I'll give you a 50% discount on this one, eight thousand. "
Teacher Wei was stunned for a moment, an expression of admiration froze on his face.
To be honest, he has been teaching all his life and has never had much contact with carving, especially the wood carving industry. He doesn't know much about the market here. But today he thought these things made by Shen Xing were very beautiful, so he thought about buying them for home decoration. one time.
Unexpectedly, even with a 50% discount, it still cost 8,000 yuan. Normally, it would cost 16,000 yuan.
Seeing Teacher Wei's expression, Shen Xing's heart skipped a beat and he changed his mind: "Oh, I made a mistake. This one is discounted to two... uh, two hundred."
"ah!"
"ah!"
Also saying "Ah" at the same time was Feifei, who was sitting at the solid wood table.
Teacher Wei kept his mouth open in an "O" shape and looked at Feifei. Seeing that Feifei was as surprised as himself and staring at Shen Xing, he knew that he would definitely not be able to buy it at this price.
Just listen to Shen Xing continue: "This work actually has flaws. You can't tell it as a layman, but I can't lie to you. In addition, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, so I can't see the flaws in my work. For the sake of it, I was upset, so I dealt with it at a low price. As long as you like it, you can take it for two hundred, and there is no need to say anything else."
"Shen Xing, Shen Xing?"
At this moment, a familiar young female voice came from outside the store.
Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she heard Feifei say from the side: "It's Sister Su Tong."
"Su Tong?" Shen Xing stood up and walked to the shop outside.
I saw Su Tong, who was wearing a casual denim jacket. He had a small bag slung over his shoulder and his hands on his chest. He was standing in front of a row of glass cabinets displaying wood carvings. While looking at the wood carvings placed in the cabinet, he listened to the voices beside him. The clerk introduced.
After seeing Shen Xing come out, Su Tong smiled: "I just heard the clerk said you were here, so I called you. I haven't seen you for a long time! Come here and help me choose a gift first."
Shen Xing smiled and walked over quickly: "Then you have to tell me first who the gift is for. There are distinctions between these gifts, eh, boyfriend?"
Su Tong rolled her eyes at him: "I don't have a boyfriend now!"
After encountering the dark staircase incident in the vocational college last time, Su Tong learned that Chen Meng who was chasing him had actually killed his classmate. Thinking of the way that guy usually flattered her, he suddenly felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly. .
From then on, she was not prepared to fall in love in school. Since she transferred to Heshan University through her grandfather, the car tycoon Su Renxin, she has been focusing on her own hobbies and ignored all the outstanding people around her. boys.
Shen Xing probably still remembers Su Tong's hobby, which was collecting wood carvings.
Shen Xing once learned from the photos on the computer that this girl still has a wood carving at home that was made by Ye Ting, and even she didn't know it.
Su Tong also likes to take various photos, write travel notes, and visit various aged ancient buildings. He is a well-known travel columnist.
"My grandpa is celebrating his 70th birthday in two days. I thought about giving him a commemorative gift. I immediately thought of wood carvings, and then naturally I came to you." Su Tong said happily.
"Birthday?" Shen Xing rubbed his chin and looked up at the wood carvings in the shop.
Not long after, he pointed at the dark staircase wood carving and said: "I can remake this wood carving into a 'Mountain and Flowing Water' wood carving, and keep the function of pouring clean water into the pool to raise the white air. Do you think so?" "
"Okay!" Su Tong nodded quickly, with an excited look on his face, "Just pour water in and the white air will rise? What's the principle?"
"Secret." Shen Xing smiled mysteriously and then asked: "How long do you want it?"
"Three days later." Su Tong replied.
"I have a lot of wood carvings on hand these two days, but I can deliver them the day after tomorrow." Shen Xing nodded.
"Don't be hasty, don't be hasty, you can be more careful and I can hand it over on my grandpa's birthday." Su Tong said.
Shen Xing looked puzzled.
Su Tong laughed and added: "Now I warmly invite you to attend my grandpa's birthday party. You just need to help me bring this mountain and flowing water wood carving over that day."
"But..." As he said that, Su Tong took out a stack of money, which probably amounted to nearly ten thousand yuan, and put it on the counter. "This is the deposit for the wood carving. My grandpa has many friends. You gave it to me." There may be many so-called collectors on the scene that day, or the rich, second and third generations who claim to be artists. You can take the opportunity to collect more business cards. If they like your mountain and flowing water works, I believe I won’t have to pay this. The final payment is due.”
After saying this, Su Tong covered his mouth and laughed.
Shen Xing was stunned and walked around in circles for a long time. He felt that this girl wanted to take advantage of him to send gifts to his grandfather and also help him promote his wood carvings.
But to be honest, this opportunity is very rare.
Su Renxin is a local and the head of Renxin Automobile Industry Group. He has a wide social network in Heshan. If he can really attract the attention of the guests present, as long as the quality of the wood carvings is excellent, I am afraid that the brand of the wood carving shop will be established immediately.
The most important thing is that this can truly put the word "master" on yourself, which is more effective than any advertisement.
If Xia Hongyu were here, she would also think that this was a very rare opportunity, except that she would not consider Su Tong's intentions.
