Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 132 Pure Land of Bliss

While the construction company was making plans and quotations, Li Xiang was carving a tea table at home.

The tea table carved from the nice big stone dug out from the cave last time has not yet been completed. Before that, Li Xiang carved some animals, such as dragons, phoenixes, golden toads, trees, flowing water under small bridges, and an old man fishing. However, the idea was good, his "tools" (white tooth dagger) were sharp enough, and his hands were strong enough, but after carving again and again, it always felt ugly.

The main reason is that I never learned to paint when I was a child and I’m not good at it.

The carving of this kind of large object is different from that of a small hairpin. There are design drawings of hairpins on the Internet, and they are relatively small, with simple lines. Even if they are slightly complicated, they are not that complicated. Just carve them a few more times until they are round enough.

However, if you want to make large stone sculptures with great detail, it would be too complicated.

How to say it? The picture I imagined was a picture of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, but the picture I carved out was a picture of chickens pecking at rice.

This is also different from playing the flute and singing. He was born in the "Bamboo Village" and has been able to play the flute since he was a child. Now he is an extraordinary person. He practices advanced deep breathing methods every day, basically without slacking off for a single day. He has a very good control over his breath, so playing the flute and singing are naturally additional abilities.

As for calligraphy, haven't I written enough characters since I was a child? Now that I have better control over the pen, I can write better naturally.

Fortunately, the "marks" were not deep, so they were all cut off and the landscape was recreated.

This time he drew the design, discarding those delicate and fancy things, and only used simple lines to "outline" auspicious clouds, Ganoderma lucidum and mountains. These patterns are simpler and easier to handle.

The stone is a whole piece of green raw stone, two meters long and eighty centimeters wide, with some natural cloud patterns and some yellow parts, which can be used as the cap of Ganoderma lucidum. He thought about it and added a few ancient coin patterns with a round outer circle and a square inner circle. The natural yellow color is also very beautiful.

The "tea table" is about 20-40 centimeters thick, with -centimeter-high "table legs" at both ends, which are also roughly cut out with a white-tooth dagger. They are thick, solid, and have natural lines, with a primitive look.

Although the carved patterns are simple, if you look closely, you will find that they have an inexplicable sense of grandeur.

"The more primitive it is, the higher grade it is. If it is made too finely, it will not be beautiful." Li Xiang could only comfort himself in this way. The next step was to smooth out the uneven places on the "tea tray", drill a drainage hole, and finally wash it with water.

As for tea pets, you can buy a few of them and put them on top later, and you can also change the styles according to your mood.

Yao Yao came when he was doing this.

On the 25th day of the first lunar month, the weather was fine and the highest temperature at noon rose to 25℃, which felt like early summer. However, it was still not as cold as 10℃ in summer, because the temperature was still below ℃ in the morning and evening. The ambient temperature of the whole environment was relatively low, such as the ground and walls. The human body radiated heat outward through thermal radiation, which made the human body feel colder.

The weather was hot, so Yao Yao wore less clothes. At the age of 20, she was full of youthful energy.

"Brother, what are you busy with? Wow, what a beautiful stone bed!" Yao Yao noticed the stone platform in front of Li Xiang and immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"What stone bed? This is a tea table! Tea table!" Li Xiang corrected unhappily.

I thought, am I really that bad at carving? Does this look like a bed?
"Tea table?" Yao Yao was suddenly embarrassed. She really had the wrong idea just now and was surprised why her brother was so interesting.

However, it was only a flash. She touched the big tea table with a smile and explained, "I thought it was a bed. It's so big. It's so comfortable to lie on it and enjoy the cool in the summer!"

"I haven't finished it yet. I'll add some patterns and make some modifications." Li Xiang looked at it and wondered if he had carved it too square, so square that it reminded people of a bed.

He felt that it should be curved, or cut at the four corners, such as making it into a boat shape, and then put some "rockeries" and "plants" on it to create a landscape.

"Brother, don't worry about it. It can be used as a tea table and can also be used to sleep. It's great for two purposes!" Yao Yao took two steps back, turned around, and said, "Brother, do you think I look beautiful in this outfit today?"

Li Xiang looked up and saw that Yao Yao was wearing a fluffy white sweater, carrying a light blue small bag, a gray plaid skirt and camel-colored short boots, revealing her slender white calves.

Her whole look has indeed become much purer than when she just returned home before the Chinese New Year.

"It's good, but it feels a bit familiar." Li Xiang said, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his mind, and he shouted, "Why do you look a bit like Zhao Xueqing?"

"Ah?" Yao Yao suddenly felt unhappy, thinking to herself, brother has a really sharp eye, he can tell that I am imitating Zhao Xueqing?

She has been in contact with Zhao Xueqing more recently, and has been secretly competing with that pure girl. She always feels that she can also dress up like a white lotus like Zhao Xueqing.

Because she felt that Li Xiang might like the pure type. This was evident from the fact that when they were dating, Li Xiang found an excuse to leave after just a few words.

Little did she know that although her outfit looked innocent, it could not conceal the natural charm between her eyebrows and eyes.

Yao Yao not only imitated Zhao Xueqing's dress style, but also her every frown and smile, giving people a feeling that she was holding back, being pretentious, and being very obvious and awkward.

Li Xiang thought about it and gave some advice: "Actually, just be yourself. You are also a very unique girl."

"really?"

"Really!" Li Xiang said seriously.

"Then I won't pretend anymore. Oh, it's too tiring to be so reserved!" Yao Yao suddenly relaxed all over, and that wild and unrestrained vibe returned. Li Xiang nodded. This was the Yao sister who was in charge of the atmosphere. She looked much more comfortable.

It’s not that he likes this type of person, but he thinks that people should just be themselves and be more natural.

"How is the preparation for the Guofeng Tavern going?" Li Xiang asked.

"I'm here today to report to you. Here, this is the plan and list I wrote. Take a look at it first and then we can discuss it." Yao Yao said, then sat on the stone bench next to Li Xiang and took out a notebook from her bag.

Li Xiang took it, opened it and his eyes lit up.

Even though he had poor grades and didn't get into university, his handwriting is really good. Li Xiang feels that it's better than his own.

Although I have seen her signature before, there is still a difference between her signature and her normal handwriting. Some people sign very beautifully, but other words they write are ugly.

Yao Yao shook her upper body, feeling quite proud. She stood up and moved the stool. She originally wanted to move it closer to Li Xiang, but the stool was made of stone and could not be moved. So she sat down again, but tilted her upper body a little towards Li Xiang.

The two of them watched and discussed, Li Xiang made some suggestions, Yao Yao nodded, and took out a small notebook to record the key points. "Brother, today is February 2th, Valentine's Day, why don't we go out and have some fun?" Yao Yao asked.

Li Xiang shook his head: "No, there's nothing fun to do there." Although the countryside is picturesque, he sees it every day. Although it is pleasing to the eye, it becomes ordinary after seeing it so many times.

For example, river view rooms and sea view rooms, no matter how beautiful the river view or sea view is, you will get bored if you live there every day.

But I haven’t bought a car yet, so it’s not convenient to go to the city.

"Okay then." Yao Yao pursed her red lips, a little disappointed. She saw the big red cowhide war drum lying flat not far away, so she ran over excitedly, took off her shoes and socks, and climbed up barefoot.

"Brother, come and appreciate my dancing!" Yao Yao waved her hand and shouted loudly, then began to dance gracefully with lotus steps.

"Be careful or you'll fall!" Li Xiang shouted.

Because this drum is quite tall, the drum body is 80 centimeters high, and with the stand, the height is over 1.3 meters.

Although the maximum diameter of the drum is 1.4 meters, that is measured from the raised drum body, and the diameter of the top drum surface is only 1.2 meters.

This drum is indeed big enough for a person to stand on. When Li Xiang was covering the skin, he tested it by bouncing on it. Many children have climbed up and played on it before, but when the children were playing on it, there were adults supporting them, and the children were relatively short.

Yao Yao was at least 1.60 meters tall, so it would be terrible if she fell down. So Li Xiang walked over quickly.

"It's okay, I'll be careful. Please help me take a video and I'll post it online." Yao Yao said after jumping a few times.

"Okay." Li Xiang felt relieved when he saw that she had good balance. He took out his cell phone and prepared to take pictures.

"Wait, let me play some music."

Soon, a background music of "Pure Land of Bliss" sounded. Yao Yao raised her left hand, and her right hand took off from her left hand, dancing to the upper right. Then, she sprinkled water gently like Guanyin holding a willow branch, and made four beautiful hand flowers in a row, from top to bottom... At the same time, she also stepped happily with butterfly steps.

She has a graceful figure, smooth feet, and a bright smile. She steps, tips, and turns on the drum... It is truly a pleasure to watch.

Li Xiang feels that this video should have a lot of traffic, but his camera skills are average, so he doesn’t know how the result will be.

When the dance reached its climax, Yao Yao also got excited and her movements became faster, especially her butterfly steps, which were so light and swift that they were dazzling and hard to take in. Suddenly, she cried out "Ouch" and fell to the side.

Oh my god! Li Xiang was shocked and quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab Yao Yao who fell down. Fortunately, he caught her in his arms.

Yao Yao was also frightened just now. She really fell, not pretending to fall. At that moment, she felt that she must be in a miserable state, and her mind went blank.

By the time she came to her senses, she was already lying in Li Xiang's arms.

A masculine breath came over her, and she could clearly feel the strong muscles on Li Xiang's body. When she looked up, she saw Li Xiang's handsome face. She couldn't help feeling dizzy, her body went limp, and she didn't want to leave.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Xueqing came to the backyard of Li Xiang's house. As soon as she came in, she saw this scene and couldn't help but shouted loudly.

Yao Yao immediately struggled to get down, but as soon as she got down, she regretted it. Why did I come down? I should have hugged Li Xiang tightly and pissed off that green tea girl!

But it would not be appropriate to take him back now.

"Are you okay?" Li Xiang asked.

"No. I'm fine." Yao Yao moved her ankle and said.

"Luckily I didn't sprain it."

"Thank you, brother." Yao Yao whispered. Thinking back, she still felt a little scared.

Li Xiang turned around and explained to Zhao Xueqing who was walking over: "This girl was dancing on the drum just now, and she fell down. Luckily I saved her in time, otherwise she might have knocked out her teeth!"

While putting on her socks, Yao Yao said coquettishly: "You just knocked out a tooth!"

Zhao Xueqing couldn't help but roll her eyes and said yin-yangly, "It's very expensive to get a replacement for a knocked-out tooth!"

Dental fillings are not covered by medical insurance.

Yao Yao pouted and said, "Brother, you can report it as a work injury for me. I was injured because of work and to record a video for the company."

Zhao Xueqing: "I stood on one foot on a stool before and didn't fall!"

"Oh, you are awesome, you are amazing..."

The two were bickering over there, and Li Xiang quickly snapped his fingers to stop them and said, "This drum is too tall and too small. I'll make a bigger one, um, one with a diameter of 1.8 meters, and it's shorter. Then I'll put it directly in the National Style Tavern, and you can perform on it."

If you fall like this, you will fall on the drum. Even if you fall outside, you will not get hurt because the drum is short and there are some carpets around it.

Zhao Xueqing: "Brother, my Chinese style teahouse also needs drums, but they don't need to be that big. They should be 40 to 50 centimeters in diameter and can be used as stools for people to sit on. After all, my Chinese style teahouse is more formal and doesn't have those kind of foxy dances."

"You..." Yao Yao was so angry that she thought for a moment, then smiled sweetly at Li Xiang, clapped her hands and said, "Brother's idea is still the best. Why didn't I think of using the big drum before? Brother is so smart and considerate!"

Zhao Xueqing almost vomited and secretly complained: "How shameless."
