The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 221 Old Turtle: Mr. Shen has become stronger, but I have become bald? (ScarletC's -yuan reward plus more)

"Green Lantern!!!"

Shen Le shouted angrily. Suddenly, a scream rang out in his spiritual sea:
【It's not me! 】

In a flash, the video turned off, the screen dimmed, and the power light of the laptop went out.

Not only that, all the lights were turned off. The fluorescent lights, desk lamps, and light bulbs under the eaves outside the courtyard all lost their light.

Shen Le stood alone in the darkness, with only the buzzing sound of the safe to keep him company, letting him know that the power was not suddenly cut off in the entire house...

"Blue...light!!!"

No sound.

No feedback.

The spirit of the small oil lamp had long since escaped to who knows where, and there was no light at all from the wick of the lamp.

In the spiritual sea, there was only laughter, Lanzhuang and Hongjiayi laughed one after another, laughing very happily. If they were human, they would probably have laughed so hard that they fell backwards and staggered...

Shen Le stood in the studio for a long time, and had no choice but to turn on the lights one by one in the dark. He couldn't just turn off the oil lamp, right?

The most important thing is that I can't beat...

Alas, how sad. Just like Li Jing who couldn't beat Nezha, the old father lost face and couldn't control his naughty child.

Shen Le shrugged his shoulders, turned on the computer obediently, and looked for videos everywhere. Straight needle, winding needle, cutting needle, connecting needle, rolling needle, rotating needle, looping needle, squaring needle, scattered needle...

Seed embroidery, thread wrapping embroidery, flower embroidery, yarn poking embroidery...

There are basic needle techniques, applied teaching, material selection, color use, splitting thread, and needle selection;

Some start by tracing the pattern, some draw the needle path on the embroidery piece, and some directly show you an embroidery pattern and lead you to embroider from the beginning to the end, while explaining what needlework to use...

There are hundreds of videos, including one-on-one explanations for beginners at the nanny level. There are also people who broadcast live and you can ask for advice. You can ask questions without giving any rewards.

In short, there is nothing you cannot learn, as long as you are unwilling to learn.

Of course, Shen Le didn't need to train herself to be a master embroiderer now. He didn't need to consider Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Guangdong embroidery, or double-sided embroidery.

He only needs to start from the existing embroidery traces, complete the pattern, determine the needle method of each stitch, and then, according to the pattern and needle method, choose the silk thread of the right color and embroider it stitch by stitch...

Shen Le placed an order for a batch of needles and thread, as well as a batch of Suzhou embroidery DIY sets without hesitation.

Then, he spread a piece of translucent sulfuric acid paper on the horse-faced skirt and carefully drew the pattern on it stroke by stroke:

"This one is peonies... this one is butterflies... butterflies... butterflies flying sideways... butterflies with their wings folded..."

After I finished drawing a piece, I moved it to the side and slowly rotated it, comparing it with the remaining traces on the skirt. This side doesn’t match, this side doesn’t match, this side still doesn’t match, this side…

Right!
Long live!

The embroidery on these clothes is often symmetrical or repeated.

As long as he finds a piece of embroidered pattern, he can determine the pattern and stitching methods used in other parts based on the needle hole marks!

Shen Le was full of confidence. He spent a whole day tracing the existing pattern on the horse-faced skirt and roughly determined the general patterns of other parts.

As for the needlework for each part, he will tell you after he finishes watching all those videos...

"The path of a straight needle is like this..."

"The needle path of the needle wrapping is like this..."

"This petal has a color that goes from light to dark. It could be a squaring stitch or a looping stitch... The exact type of stitch depends on the stitches behind it..."

However, Shen Le searched through all the videos but couldn't find any specific instructions on how to judge the needlework. He had no choice but to set up the DIY embroidery frame and thread the needle.

A video was playing slowly next to me. I followed the beginner's tutorial video, watched it for a while, embroidered a few stitches, watched it again, and embroidered a few stitches again...

Many of the videos are posted online by Taobao shop owners!
The main point is, as long as you dare to embroider according to our video, we guarantee that you will embroider something!
Of course, the stitches are uneven, the colors are different shades, and even if you embroider according to the pattern on the embroidery cloth, you can turn straight lines into zigzag lines and wavy lines into zigzag lines;
The petals with gradient colors are embroidered into layers, and the lively mandarin duck eyes are embroidered into dead fish eyes...

This, this is purely a workmanship issue, the Taobao shop owner cannot guarantee after-sales service.

After all, the shop owner can't guide you by hand and make sure that each stitch is in the right place and that the tightness of each stitch is just right.

However, this stumbling embroidery process was just right for Shen Le. He looked at it for a while, embroidered a few stitches, looked at it again, and embroidered a few more stitches, which made it easier for him to continuously recover his mental strength under the blessing of the talisman.
He doesn’t have to embroider the entire pattern. He can just follow the video and embroider the different types of stitches. Then he can check the stitches on the back and confirm the stitches!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

The embroidery needle went back and forth through the embroidery cloth. Shen Le worked hard, stumbling and embroidering. After a few strokes, he took the embroidery frame to the side of the horse-faced skirt, turned it over and over, and compared it;
Embroider a few more times and check again;
Draw a pattern on a notebook, write a few strokes, then cut out the computer's drawing interface and mark a few strokes...

"Oh, I won't mend the fabrics next time... I won't do it even if you kill me." He hummed as he worked, watching the orchids on the embroidery cloth bloom little by little:
“I would rather repair china and cut all ten fingers with broken pieces of china;
When repairing ironware, he wore a mask to weld broken pieces of iron; when repairing gilded clay statues, he used tweezers to hold gold foil piece by piece and stick it onto the Buddha statues;

To repair ancient buildings, climbing up and down under the scorching sun on a 40-degree day;
I don’t do fabric repairs in an air conditioned house either!
This job is really not suitable for me!"

Even though he was complaining, Shen Le's progress was not slow at all. Not only that, his work efficiency was even improved:

When he first started embroidering, he needed to sit in front of the embroidery frame, staring at the cloth, using his eyesight and mental strength to guide the needle into the target needle hole.
Halfway through the embroidery, he found that he didn't need to keep an eye on it, and could complete the positioning and embroidery with his mental strength alone;
By the end of the embroidery, he could sit next to the computer, two feet away from the embroidery frame, and use his mental power to guide the silver needle while watching the video...

Although the efficiency has doubled, which is commendable, the whole style is more like Dongfang Bubai!

Shen Le gritted his teeth and embroidered for seven or eight days. Finally, he finished marking all the patterns and stitches. Then he leaned back and refused to continue working.

What, the red wedding dress hasn’t been repaired yet?

What, there are still many places that need to be embroidered? Need gold thread? Need pearls?

I don’t know, I don’t want to know, don’t look for me, I know nothing and I haven’t seen anything!
The red wedding dress kept fluttering and throbbing, the phoenix corona rustled, and even the short knife was half out of its sheath.

Shen Le turned a blind eye and a deaf ear:
"No! I need to rest! I need to relax! I won't continue embroidering today! - I won't embroider tomorrow either! I want to go out for some fun!"

The short knife flew out of its scabbard in anger, and the knife light crisscrossed and cut one after another on the pad of the safe deposit box. Shen Le responded coldly:
"It's no use threatening me! Don't even think about me working even if you threaten me! Or do you want me to work in a hurry and make a mess of the embroidery of the wedding dress?"

The dagger lay flat, and the dressing box emitted a burst of colorful light, which fell on the red wedding dress, flowing and shining, as if to comfort her.

The little wooden puppet, who had been squatting nearby and watching the whole show, jumped up obediently, poured him a glass of water, and then waved his colorful sleeves and sang softly:
"Outside the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, the wind and rain are raging, and the sad voice breaks the silence.

Through the curtain I could see a bridal sedan, presumably the newlyweds crossing the Magpie Bridge.

On auspicious days and occasions, we should laugh and rejoice, but why do we throw away the mermaid pearls as tears?

At this moment, I realized that there are not all rich people in the world.

There are also hunger, cold and sorrow, and there are also frustrated and crying..."

Xiaoling, have you learned a new piece of music?
But what do you mean by choosing this paragraph? Although the red wedding dress is the bride's wedding dress, it has been hundreds of years since its owner got married!

[But, I just wanted to comfort you... You were very upset just now, weren't you? ]

Thank you, I don’t have hunger, cold, sorrow, or sadness, and I won’t be so frustrated that I cry and wail…

Shen Le fled in panic amid the laughter of the little ones. This time, even Luo Pan, who was always silent in the corner, laughed out loud.

Fortunately, a savior came from the sky. At this moment, the phone rang, and Shen Le couldn't wait to pick it up and answer:
"Yeah, it's me... Are you free recently? Go to Turtle Bay? No problem! I'll be here tomorrow morning!"

Ah, the old turtle is here to urge me again. It’s time to go visit the little turtle once a month and meditate with the little turtle.

It’s just right, I take the opportunity to go out and relax for a day. I’m going to get cross-eyed from embroidering day after day!

"Don't bother me! I'll get you some pearls. Isn't there a lack of pearls on the red wedding dress?"

He took the earliest subway to Binhai, and as soon as he got out of the subway station, someone from the Special Affairs Bureau came to pick him up. When he arrived at Turtle Bay, the old turtle subconsciously shrank back into his shell when he saw him:
“You…you are…”

"Don't shrink back, your shell is hard and your head can't be retracted." Shen Le reflexively complained. Then he thought of asking back:

"What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing serious... I just look stronger than before." The old turtle nodded and smiled apologetically.

As soon as he got closer, he felt that the power surrounding Shen Le was not necessarily much stronger than the last time they met in terms of intensity, but in terms of quality, it was much sharper.

If last time it was a light mist, this time, there were countless fine filaments in the mist, condensing into a large net around Shen Le.

The old turtle even felt that if he did anything bad to Shen Le, these filaments would turn into steel wires at any time and cut him into pieces!

"Oh, probably." Shen Le responded as a matter of course. He sat cross-legged, let the little turtle crawl in front of his knees, and the two old turtles lay down on the left and right, and began to meditate calmly.

The mist gathered quietly, covering them. Shen Le's mental power naturally spread, sweeping over the two old turtles. Suddenly, he was stunned and swept a piece off its body:
"What's going on with you?"

Old Turtle:!!!

What are you doing!
Are you going to cut me bald?
