The boy was a few steps away from him. He was slender and handsome, with white cheeks and red lips, as if he was born with a little shyness.

Two years earlier, it may be a bit difficult for him to tell the male and female, but now that he has grown up, he naturally brings the tall and handsomeness of a boy, which will indeed make the girl in the boudoir look like a springy look.

Governor Zhang's eyes stopped slightly on him, with a little appreciation, and then walked forward.

Prefect Deng followed him without hesitation, as if this man had nothing to do with him.

Governor Zhang stood not far away next to Cen Xiaoyi. Cen Xiaoyi did not look squinted, did not raise her head, and did not hesitate or confusion in her hands, as if she didn't know that someone was coming next to her.

The appreciation in Governor Zhang's eyes was a little deeper, but he said nothing, stood not far away and watched Cen Xiaoyi do things.

He didn't understand carpenters, but he stood here for a long time and then slowly looked away and continued to pace forward.

"How?" Prefect Deng quickly followed and asked in a low voice.

Governor Zhang is his boss, and he asked this question a bit pretentiously, but Governor Zhang did not think it was offensive and nodded with a smile, "No, there are rules."

Prefect Deng was stunned for a moment, looked back at Cen Xiaoyi, and gradually understood what he meant.

They didn't know if Cen Xiaoyi was doing well, but they could see that his biggest feature of doing things is "having rules".

The things are arranged neatly and the movements are very regular. The most rare thing is that every time you finish a step, you will clean up the nearby desktop and floor, so the area around him has always been clean and tidy, which is in sharp contrast to the mess that many other people have.

This feature doesn't seem to have much to do with the skill level, but the prefect Deng knew very clearly that there were rules, indicating that this person had a clear understanding of himself and knew what he was doing and wanted.

"Haha, there is no order without rules." Prefect Deng smiled with satisfaction and followed.

This sentence is also very interesting.

A gutter is a compass, a tool for drawing circles. A quad is a tool for drawing rulers, a tool for drawing right angles or squares.

The word rule was specially provided for craftsmen from the beginning, but later it gradually evolved and became the meaning of standard laws.

From this perspective, craftsmen should naturally be the ones who understand the rules the most.

The two continued to pace forward, and not long after, Governor Zhang saw another person and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Prefect Deng kept paying attention to his expression and movements, and immediately looked over and made the same expression.

The man's eyes seemed to have been beaten by someone, and were swollen. One eye was particularly serious and affected the other side. His eyelids were so swollen that there was only a slit left in his eyes.

In this case, Governor Zhang didn't know how he saw what was in front of him.

Not only his eyes, but also his body was injured. His hands were full of cracks. Although there was no blood seeping, it still looked a little ugly.

Governor Zhang was a little dizzy and subconsciously took a step back and asked, "What's going on with this boy?"

"This young man didn't return all night last night. Lord Sun took the team out to find the people who had been overnight. I heard that he met a bandit when he went to Jinglin Temple to seek talismans and was kidnapped." Prefect Deng explained in a low voice.

When Sun Boran transferred the yamen runners to the constable last night, he informed Governor Zhang. Of course, he heard about it. He remembered what the prefect Deng said.

"Please ask for the talisman?" Governor Zhang frowned when he heard these two words, and looked unhappy. "A real man does not rely on heaven or earth, but all his abilities are his own! What's wrong with asking God and worshiping Buddha?"

"It is normal for a young man in the country to be unpredictable." said the prefect Deng.

"Who is the person? What's his name?" Governor Zhang's expression was still not very good-looking.

"Tong and Yu Shuiren, Xu asked." The corner of the prefect Deng's mouth curled, and then forced himself to press down, introducing.

"...Oh?" Governor Zhang was about to walk away when he heard the name and suddenly stopped.

The prefect Deng was about to follow him and was stunned by his movements, and he was confused.

"Tong and Yu Shui, Xu asked?" Governor Zhang repeated again.

"Yes... is he an old acquaintance?" Prefect Deng nodded.

"That's not the case." Governor Zhang shook his head, turned around, and went to see Xu Wen's performance seriously.

Prefect Deng had just breathed a sigh of relief, but was suffocated by his actions again.

I am not an old acquaintance, nor do I know the boy's appearance, but I know his name? Where did I know? What did I know?

He was full of suspicion and did not dare to speak. He only dared to stand aside and carefully looked at Governor Zhang's expression.

Governor Zhang had no expression at first, and he was still as deep as he had never distinguished his emotions. But gradually, his eyebrows raised and gathered in the middle, gathering more and more. Finally, he frowned tightly, obviously very dissatisfied.

"Why are you unhappy?" Prefect Deng carefully restrained his joy and asked softly.

"It's too rough." Governor Zhang stared at Xu Wen's hand for a while, and threw down four words expressionlessly.

Prefect Deng was stunned, and after careful observation for a while, Xu Wen gradually understood the meaning of these four words.

First of all, Xu Wen's work is far less "ruleful" than Cen Xiaoyi. The things around him are arranged a little messy, and the wood chips on the table on the ground are not cleaned up. The surrounding environment is the first "rough".

The second roughness is his method of doing things.

He is doing wood carvings now, just like Cen Xiaoyi.

Cen Xiaoyi was concentrating and meticulously crafted, and every minute and every inch was given priority.

Xu Wen was focused enough, but he was very dedicated. The wood carvings were like clay sculptures, thickly painted and smeared, as if he only focused on the face pieces and did not pay attention to details.

As the prefect Deng looked at it, he couldn't help but turn around and glance at the model still on the wooden platform in the distance.

He has also seen that prototype. The sculptures on it are very exquisite and meticulous.

Just looking at the part that Cen Xiaoyi has carved just now, he can probably come up with the final result. As long as it can be completed smoothly, it should be similar to the carved prototype.

But Xu asked about this...is it a little far behind, right?

But after a while, he raised his eyebrows and smiled.

What does this have to do with him?

On the contrary, this is exactly what he wants to see!

The people around him walked and came and walked again and again. Several gazes fell on him, and Xu Wen had no idea.

At this time, his vision was like a thick dark cloud, compressing his world into an extremely narrow range, as if only the model in front of him was left.

The drawings he had drawn early in the morning had been thrown aside, and were pressed by many shaved wood blocks. It had not been taken out for a long time.

But it still exists, in Xu Wen's mind, clearly visible, and every detail is complete - but there has been some changes compared to its original appearance.

He has never felt this way since he joined Lian Tianqing's disciple to study carpenters.

The wood in his hand seemed to be integrated with him, and the wood carvings in his mind seemed to be integrated with the world.
