"Uncle Zhuo, I went back to the village this time because my father is old and wants to go back to his hometown to enjoy his old age, and my father is now weak and sick, and it is inconvenient to walk, so Uncle Zhuo, see if you can help me make a crutch for me Father." Dalong said earnestly.

Zhuo Wen smiled and said, "No problem!"

As he said that, he randomly selected a long and thin piece of wood from the courtyard, and immediately the carving knife in his hand began to carve on the wood continuously.

Dalong looked enviously at Zhuo Wen's flowing movements. Speaking of which, Uncle Zhuo in front of him was about the same age as his father, both in their fifties.

But Uncle Zhuo in front of him didn't accept his age at all, his movements were neat like a young man in his early twenties.

If he hadn't seen the numerous wrinkles on Zhuo Wen's face, Dalong wouldn't have believed that there was an old man who was about to enter his seventies in front of him just by Zhuo Wen's hand.

"alright!"

Half an hour later, Zhuo Wen put down the carving knife in satisfaction, and handed the carved cane to Dalong.

Dalong's eyes lit up, the crutch in front of him was definitely the most comfortable crutch he had ever seen in his life, and he felt his whole body trembling when he held it in his hand, as if some warm current spread from his palm to his whole body .

"Thank you Uncle Zhuo, this is ten taels of silver, you take it!"

After Dalong looked at the crutches with great satisfaction, he took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Zhuowen.

It's a pity that Zhuo Wen didn't go to pick it up, but said with serious eyes: "Dalong, didn't I say that? I have my own rules here. The price of crutches is ten Wen, and I can't accept these ten taels of silver. "

Dalong's eyes showed embarrassment, and he said embarrassingly: "Uncle Zhuo, I was impulsive. I haven't come for a long time, so I forgot your rules. This is ten coins, please keep it!"

Zhuo Wen took the ten Wen coins, nodded in satisfaction, picked up the unfinished wood carving again, and began to carve with all his heart.

"Uncle Zhuo, are you sure you don't want to sell this wood carving?" Da Long looked at the wood carving in Zhuo Wen's hand with some reluctance and asked.

Zhuo Wen shook his head, answering Dalong's question.

"Uncle Zhuo, I'll go now!"

Dalong sighed softly, took his leave and left.

"Husband, I heard from the neighbors that Dalong has been admitted as the number one scholar in the Great Rain Kingdom this time. It is said that the king admires Dalong very much and specially betrothed the princess to Dalong."

A woman with some wrinkles on her face also came out of the room. From the woman's facial features, it can be seen that this woman was definitely a disaster-level beauty when she was young.

Zhuo Wen put down the carving knife, looked at the woman with a smile, and said, "It doesn't matter if Dalong is promising, it will also be of great benefit to the village."

The woman nodded and said with a smile: "I also heard that Dalong not only sent his father back to his hometown, but also planned to repair the houses in the village and the dilapidated temples in the suburbs."

"It's really good that he has this intention..."

Zhuowen paused for a moment, his eyes revealing a trace of thought.

"Husband, Dalong has been a strong child since he was a child. It seems that he has never asked you for anything? On the contrary, he often helps you." Mu Chenxue said suddenly.

Zhuo Wen smiled slightly and said: "I see, after I finish this wood carving, I will give it to Dalong, it can be regarded as a kind of souvenir for him!"

Mu Chenxue smiled lightly, and said, "The child will definitely be overjoyed by then."

...

As night fell, a sneaky figure entered the low house.

This figure swiftly entered the living room of the stone house. Rows of shelves were arranged in the living room, and various wood carvings were placed on the shelves.

The figure quickly noticed that there was an unfinished wood carving under a shelf in the corner. This wood carving had three heads and six arms, and it was lifelike.

The moment he saw the wood carving, the figure was full of energy. He picked up the semi-finished wood carving and looked at it carefully, his eyes showing satisfaction.

Soon, the figure became hesitant, and immediately he took out a palm-sized brocade bag from his arms, and placed it in the original position of the taken wood carving.

"Uncle Zhuo, I'm sorry, I really like this wood carving, I'm leaving tomorrow! I'm afraid I may never have the chance to go back to Xinghua Village, I don't want to miss this wood carving!"

The figure murmured in a low voice, with guilt in his voice, and then sighed softly, then tiptoed out of the house.

After the figure left the house, the door of the living room was opened, and an old couple walked out slowly.

The gray-haired Zhuo Wen walked to the shelf in the corner, squatted down, picked up the brocade bag, shook his head and said, "This kid really likes the woodcarving so much, maybe it's because of guilt that he gave so much money to him." of silver."

"Are you planning to return it to him?" Mu Chenxue said.

Zhuo Wen shook his head and said: "No need, there is a trace of my breath in the wood carving, which can protect him from a disaster. If there is still a chance, I will re-complete the semi-finished product before leaving here."

On the second day, Dalong left Xinghua Village under the warm welcome of his neighbors. JrNovels.com
