Chapter 364 Wooden Cat
"This is Mr. Wu Jinsheng," Brother Nan introduced.
"Hello, Mr. Wu." Li Mu nodded in greeting and handed over the things in his hand.
"Oh my! You're here now, what else are you bringing?" Old Master Wu pretended to be serious, "Take it back later!"
"This is Li Mu. You should be able to recognize him if you have watched his live broadcast." Brother Nan said, and then whispered to Mr. Wu, "He is still my boyfriend. Do you think he is suitable for you?"
"Is it true that you are together?"
"real!"
"oops!"
Mr. Wu quickly moved closer to take a closer look at Li Mu, and nodded again and again: "Great! Great! He's even more handsome than what I saw in the live broadcast room. You have good taste!"
"Hehe!" Brother Nan was very happy to hear that.
"Come on, come on, don't stand in the yard, come in and sit down!" Old Wu pulled the two of them into the house.
The cat also followed Li Mu into the house, looking left and right until Li Mu sat down on the sofa. Then she withdrew her gaze, jumped up, jumped onto the sofa, and sat down next to Li Mu.
Old Wu's attention was quickly attracted by the kitten.
"This is the wild leopard cat in your live broadcast room, its name is Yogurt, right?" Old Wu looked at the kitten, and the cat also looked at him.
"Well, it's her."
"it's beautiful."
This cat has a well-proportioned body, clean and smooth fur, and a pair of big, lively eyes. It is more pleasing to humans than most cats.
Old Wu looked at the cat carefully again and again, and felt that the cat had an indescribable beauty in its body shape, as if every part of it was just right, a little more would be too much, a little less would be too little.
The cat was not shy at all and stared at the old man without blinking.
After a while, Mr. Wu retracted his gaze, and invited the two to drink tea with a smile, and waved to Li Mu, "Come, I'll show you what I carved!"
"it is good."
Li Mu followed Mr. Wu inside.
Mr. Wu opened a door and found that there was a special room for sculptures.
The room is neither big nor small. There are shelves on two walls and a coffee table in the middle, all of which are filled with sculptures, each of which is lifelike.
"How is it?" Mr. Wu looked at him, "Is it okay?"
"very nice!"
"Want to learn?"
"emm"
"Haha, Ruonan told me about your worries. Don't worry, I'm not like Old Xu. I'll insist on taking you in as my apprentice regardless of whether you're willing or not."
Old Wu waved his hand and explained with a smile, "From the mortise and tenon structure you made last time, I can see that you have talent. If you are interested, I will teach you. Just treat it as you accompanying an old man like me to pass the time."
"okay."
Li Mu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
He smiled and scratched his head, feeling a lot more relaxed inside.
"I'll teach you some simple things later." Mr. Wu paused and asked, "Do you know how to adjust your phone?"
"What phone?"
"My phone has been silent recently when calls come in. I don't know why. Can you show me the answer?" The old man took out his phone and handed it to Li Mu. "Smart phones now have too many functions. Old people can't keep up."
"it is good."
I didn't expect that the master of wood carving would be stumped by a small mobile phone.
Li Mu took the phone and set it up, and taught the old man how to turn silent mode on and off.
After adjusting the phone, Mr. Wu thanked him, told them that they could use any wood here, and suggested that Li Mu carve a lotus pod first.
"Do you want me to help you draw the line?" he asked kindly. "I can do it myself."
"Okay, if you have any questions, just ask me!"
"it is good."
Then Li Mu took the wood and started carving.
He had experience in building wooden houses, and his domineering physique allowed him to control his body precisely, so he got the hang of it in no time.
During this period, Mr. Wu would also come over to check on him and give him some advice, which was either his many years of experience or some of his unique little tricks, both of which were very valuable.
As for Sister Nan, the old man pretended not to see anything and let her do whatever she wanted.
Time passed by little by little, and the living room was filled with rustling sounds mixed with some talking.
Li Mu learned that Mr. Wu had a son and two daughters, all of whom were abroad, and he would only come back to celebrate their birthdays during the Spring Festival.
His wife is also a person who can't sit still. Although she has no shortage of money, she is keen on picking up cardboard and empty water bottles after retirement. Now no one knows where she has gone.
As it gradually approached noon, the three of them ate outside and continued carving after returning.
Sister Nan carved a pistol with the level of an elementary school student. You can barely tell from the outline that it is a pistol, which is very consistent with her personality.
Li Mu's lotus pod is carved quite well.
Carving lotus pods is not difficult and can be done without any basic skills. However, Mr. Wu told Li Mu that it is not easy to carve a very simple object vividly. It requires a pair of observant eyes and the ability to think.
"You are really talented and your hands are very steady. If you can persist, your level will definitely be higher than mine." Mr. Wu praised sincerely.
Li Mu responded modestly.
"Ni Mu." The cat came close to Li Mu and called very softly.
Li Mu glanced at Mr. Wu who was sitting in the distance and responded in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"Why does that old man always secretly look at Master Yogurt?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and organized his words: "I've heard that people who are good at painting can't help but paint when they see a wonderful landscape. I think it's the same for people who are good at wood carving. Lord Yogurt is good-looking and spiritual. Mr. Wu may also want to carve a wood sculpture for you."
"Hmm." The cat lowered its head and thought for a moment, then walked away with small steps and continued to stroll around the house.
Li Mu smiled and continued his carving.
I don’t know how long it was before Brother Nan came over and poked him. When he looked up, he pointed in a direction.
Li Mu looked in the direction he was looking and saw that Old Wu was also carving.
A carving knife that looks very old, the wooden handle has been rubbed smooth by hands, and the blade can cut wood like paper.
A piece of high-quality boxwood, with wood chips falling off under the carving knife, makes people wonder why this wood is so soft and brittle.
The carving knife is in the hands of Mr. Wu.
Old Wu had his back to Li Mu, and on the coffee table in front of him, a kitten was sitting upright. When Li Mu approached, it glanced at him quickly and then looked away.
Focus on being a good model.
Mr. Wu was concentrating so much that he didn't notice that Li Mu and Brother Nan had come up behind him.
The two of them just watched quietly without making any noise to disturb them.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the rustling sound of the carving knife cutting wood.
Mr. Wu used different carving knives and polished the wood carefully. Wood chips kept falling off, and the piece of wood gradually took shape and gained charm.
It was the kitten sitting in front of him.
The body is well-proportioned and the expression is lively.
By the time Mr. Wu put down the carving knife, the wood carving in front of him had turned into the appearance of a cat. Apart from the lack of hair and the color of the wood, the rest of the carving was almost indistinguishable from the kitten sitting on the coffee table.
Li Mu couldn't help but marvel at the fact that he was indeed a master of wood carving, and his every move was extraordinary.
