Chapter 38 The Boss's Story

As soon as he met the clay figure, Charlene subconsciously took a quick step back and looked at the clay figure carefully, for fear that these clay figures would suddenly come back. The main reason was that these clay figures were doing too well and were no different from real people. Sophie's eyes were also curious. After all, novel things are easy for girls to pay attention, especially this kind of rare things now.

After a long time, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the clay man did not move, and then they became bolder. They walked around casually, looked around, and kept taking photos with their mobile phones. But after a while, no one came out to greet him. However, there was no fear of losing things here, except for clay man, they were clay man.

Until I saw an old-fashioned counter next to it, just like the one in the inn in a costume TV series. It looks a bit old and very old. There is a "clay man" behind the counter. The clay man leaned on the chair, very leisurely.

This "Clay Man" is like the rest in the store and is still motionless, but it looks more realistic from the outside than the ones outside. Moreover, this "Clay Man" has a white beard, which looks very fun, but he is a sixteen-year-old girl, so she doesn't do such a ridiculous thing as pulling out someone's beard.

Although the whole clay man looked a bit realistic, the two girls didn't care. They took out their phone and asked Li Wen to help take pictures as a souvenir. After taking the phone, Li Wen found that Xia Lin's family background was extraordinary, and the mobile phone in her hand was no less than 5,000. In this era when ordinary mobile phones were only three or four hundred, they could definitely be considered a rich man. You should know that the price of mobile phones now does not reach the point where smart phones are often thousands in later generations.

They were not very satisfied with taking several photos on their faces. They were so angry that they almost beat Li Wen. Finally, they taught Li Wen some pictures. The two of them squatted beside the chair, posing, and taking pictures of the two of them with their mobile phones, suddenly they found that the "clay man" on the screen of the mobile phone actually moved.

He blinked at himself a few times and showed a funny smile. Li Wen felt a little weird and felt a little scared, but he instantly realized that this boss was really fun. He was like this in his previous life. Li Wen was calm on the surface and planned to cooperate with the old man to perform.

He also wanted to see what the old man was doing. After taking the photo, he showed the photo to the two of them. Soon their faces changed. They pointed to the smiling clay man photo on the screen of their mobile phone. At first, it was a little weird, but then they looked a little scared.

The next three people heard some sounds, very close to them, and suddenly felt creepy, and they couldn't help but get goose bumps on their bodies. Then they slowly turned around and saw that the "clay man" just now stood up, waving with them with a smile, and then a high decibel sound "Ghost" almost made Li Wen temporarily deaf.

The two girls turned around and prepared to escape, but after seeing Li Wen laughing, the two girls felt that things didn't seem to be what they imagined. They calmed down and had an answer in their minds.

This "clay man" is fake. When he looked back, he felt relieved and then felt a little embarrassed. Then he looked at Li Wen who was smiling with anger, and his eyes were so eager to get Li Wen out of his body.

Even Sophie, who has always had a good temper, complained a little about this guy in her heart. The joke was too big. She made up her mind to give him some color. The same was true for Charlene. At this moment, the directions of the two girls reached an unprecedented consistency. The eyes of the two girls slashed across Li Wen's face like blades. Li Wen did not react slowly and realized that something was wrong.

It seemed that he was playing with it. The eyes of the two women made him a little scared and he was a little unscrupulous in his words. He explained hesitantly: "I said this is a misunderstanding, do you believe it?" The two women did not speak, but still had that expression.

"Okay, I know you don't believe it, but it really has nothing to do with me. I just discovered it." Li Wen made a weak defense.

At this time, the boss finally came out and said kindly: "I apologize to you both. I was just joking with you. In this way, to express my apology, I will be a clay figure for each of you and ask you to bring it up."

The boss's words came too timely, and Li Wen almost cried in his heart. He couldn't resist it. Seeing the old man apologizing in person, the two women's anger also subsided a lot, but they still glared at Li Wen with anger. The meaning of the look was very clear: "Wait for me."

"Three, take a look, I'll prepare the materials." The boss said politely, turned around and walked towards the small door next to him.

Not long after, the boss came out, holding something in his hand, colorful, like plasticine, which seemed to be used as a clay man. The three of them walked forward curiously. This was the first time they saw this. Seeing the boss's dexterous hands turning the ordinary soil into a lifelike character, it was simply the Q-version form of three people.

Everyone was quiet and no one dared to speak, for fear of disturbing the boss. Until the clay man was finished, Li Wen couldn't help but shouted ok, and what he got was the contemptuous look of the two women. He laughed twice and carefully picked up the clay man, for fear of being destroyed.

"Old man, your skills are amazing. You are the best person I have ever seen. "Li Wen said with admiration. This is not an exaggeration. In his previous life, he also saw clay figures in those scenic spots. However, they were all simple little animals, with low technical content and very rigid. They were not as smart as the boss made, which was enough to make the real one.

Charlene also praised her. The boss touched her beard with satisfaction, and she was very talented and was very satisfied with her skills.

The four of them kept talking and talked a lot. The old man seemed to be intrigued, so he talked about his experience to three people. The old man was named Luo Wenbing, who is already sixty-eight years old this year. He was born during the war. When he was a child, his family was poor. He was a young man and had several brothers on his side, and his parents couldn't support him. When he was five years old, he was sent to the city as an apprentice and did chores for others.

There is a street where the old man is an apprentice, where there are many "people who run around the world and perform in the world". At that time, the old man was only five years old. He was very interested in everything. So he secretly ran out to play every day. He especially liked those "people who run around the world and perform in the world and did not do their jobs every day. Once, he saw clay figures and was deeply attracted, and even got beaten because of this.

The man who made the clay figure was a man in his thirties. Although the man had good skills, in that era of chaos, who was in the mood to see this, it would be good to survive. So the man was very down and out. The old man went to peek at others as clay figure every day and tried it privately, but the effect was not great.

Later, the man disappeared. Some people said he was beaten to death, and some people said he was arrested for strong men. After the establishment of the new government, the old man's apprenticeship career was over. He returned to his hometown, but he felt very regretful and felt that he would never have the possibility of contacting clay figures in his life.

Once, the old man came into the city and saw the man who was a clay man again. His appearance looked even older. After inquiring, he learned that the man no longer worked as a clay man and worked as a worker in a steel factory. His rough hands were no longer suitable for this business. The old man who learned the news was very disappointed.

But the man proposed to pass on this craft to the old man. He hoped that the old man could pass on the inheritance and not lose the things left by his ancestors. The old man could not believe it and quickly became a disciple. In fact, the old man knew about the man who secretly learned from him, but pretended not to see it on purpose. He already had the idea of ​​accepting a disciple. However, after something happened, he hurriedly left and did not come back until the whole country was liberated.

The old man was extremely happy and kowtowed to become a disciple. After learning this craft, the old man did not make a big fuss, but instead practiced quietly. After all, in that era of national production, this was a typical improper job.

The old man kept it hidden for more than 30 years. It was not until his children got married and started a business that he began to be a clay man. He moved to Xicheng District with his wife and settled here until now. The old man opened a store not to make money, but simply to be a clay man. These clay man was given special meaning by the old man, just like his own children.
