Chapter 1665
“Didn’t you lose your memory?”
Wolf looked towards Chen Dong in shock.
Chen Dong’s brow was furrowed into a “Chuan” and he shook his head in confusion.
“I don’t know why, obviously my head is empty and I don’t remember anything, but when I was listening to you just now, I found a girl in my head, as if …… she had been living in my head.”
“Heh, well, I’ll teach you.”
Wolf smiled gently, then he chopped a piece of wood and handed it over to Chen Dong, along with a carving knife.
The two sat side by side on the threshold.
Under Wolf’s guidance, Chen Dong carved slowly and clumsily.
The carving was focused on fine.
The wood is hard.
The slightest imbalance in strength will cause the lines to be completely out of shape under the knife.
With Chen Dong’s strength, carving with his knife was as easy as cutting clay, but he still could not escape the difficulty of unbalancing the force.
It was only after scrapping three pieces of wood in quick succession that he gradually became more familiar with his movements.
However, the carving process was still extremely difficult for him.
In the process of carving the head alone, beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.
Soon, his eyes were wandering.
A sharp, bellows-like breathing sound kept coming from his mouth and nose.
This scene, in the eyes of Wolf, was full of confusion.
It was just a carving, why should he react like that?
Puzzled as he was, Wolf did not say anything to stop him.
Time pa*sed.
Dang!
Suddenly, Chen Dong’s body trembled, and the carving knife and wood in his hand fell to the ground at the same time.
His whole body seemed to be deflated, and his buttocks slid off the threshold in one smooth motion, falling to the ground.
The look of calm concentration had also turned into panic.
It was clearly just a calm carving process, but it was as if he had received an inexplicable big fright.
“Ah Dog!”
Wolf was startled.
In the room, the old woman and Dog, who were making a fire and cooking, were also startled for a moment.
“No, it’s alright.”
Chen Dong shook his head with a sweaty head, his eyes covered in red blood, and looked at Ah Wolf in horror, “Brother Ah Wolf, I, I can’t carve it out, it’s like, something in my head is stopping me, from carving her out!”
Confirming that Chen Dong was alright, Ah Wolf then let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, he softly advised, “Don’t be anxious, carving requires a calm mind and concentration, the more anxious and urgent you are, the more difficult it is to succeed, when I carved Doggy’s mother, I was similar to you at the beginning.”
“Really?”
Chen Dong’s gaze flickered for a moment, somewhat unsure.
“Would I lie to you about this?”
Wolf smiled and patted Chen Dong’s shoulder, “This is a delicate job, if you want to do it quickly, you won’t get there, let’s have lunch first and take your time from there.”
“Okay.”
Chen Dong nodded, and while he got up, he picked up the wood and carving knife and put them in his pocket.
While Wolf looked at Chen Dong, who had entered the house in a daze, his expression was gloomy.
He had lied to Chen Dong!
When he first learned to carve after the tragic death of Dog Boy’s mother, it was true that he had difficulty carving his wife’s face and voice, but that was related to his skills and indeed to his state of mind at the time.
But even if it was serious, it could not be like what Chen Dong had just done!
That frightened look was clearly the result of a great fright or shock he had suffered during the carving process!
In a trance.
Wolf stared deeply at Chen Dong.
“Is it a blessing or a curse to leave him behind?”
This was the thought in his mind.
But he did not dare to say it straight out.
He could not change his mother’s decision, not to mention that when the barbarians had entered the village, it was indeed this “freak” in front of him who had saved the whole village with his own strength.
And today’s bumper hunting harvest is all thanks to Chen Dong.
At least, for now, it is a blessing!
Beyond that, Wolf did not dare to speculate!
A bumper hunting harvest had filled up the granaries of the whole village.
Families built fires and cooked meat to celebrate, and as the sun rose, the rich smell of meat wafted through the village air.
……
The days went by.
The most important thing that Chen Dong did every day was to go out hunting with the villagers every now and then.
Every day the most Chen Dong did was to sit boringly on the threshold of the hall house, carving wooden sculptures.
This seemed to have formed a habit.
Even though every time he carved, it was incredibly difficult for him, and he even had to endure inexplicable shocks of fear.
On the contrary, an obsession seemed to have formed in Chen Dong’s mind.
That girl had always lived in his mind.
He would have to carve that girl out.
He wanted to see who it really was!
Time and time again, he failed to carve, and time and time again, he started all over again.
After each failed carving, Chen Dong would become extremely weak, sweating profusely as he returned to the house and sat in a daze.
Such a scene was quite worrying for the three members of Wolf’s family at first.
As time went by and it was established that Chen Dong was not in serious trouble, they gradually became relieved.
It was late at night.
In this extremely cruel snow plain, after the extreme day and night, the alternation between day and night only exists on a very few days.
The days are already silent and cold.
At night, it is even more so.
Under the stars and the moon, the wind cries and the school howls.
The small village, situated in the snowy plain, is completely covered by the wind, snow and night.
In the distance.
The sound of wolves howling and other unknown beasts roaring in the surroundings.
It is deafening and makes one’s skin tingle.
Chen Dong sat withered on the fire bed, the campfire and the fire bed, so that the room was not cold and was as warm as a sunny spring day.
He had no desire to sleep.
The roar of beasts coming from all directions was quite annoying.
In his hands, under the dim light, he holds the wood and the carving knife.
He is motionless, like a statue.
Only his brow furrows and uncurls from time to time.
Half a day.
Clicking ……
Chen Dong landed the first cut, a delicate mastery of force, allowing the carving knife to flow on the wood, shavings shaved out and rustling to the ground.
He did not stop.
Line after line was carved.
Little bits of wood shavings fell to the ground.
The look of concentration, the eyes unblinking.
Gradually, the annoying roar of the beasts and the sound of the wind and snow in all directions faded away.
In his mind, the girl’s voice and appearance emerged, gradually becoming clearer as Chen Dong carved.
In this bizarre state.
It was as if Chen Dong was the only one left in this world.
And as the carving proceeded, the shock of panic that had appeared countless times in the past did not appear on Chen Dong this time in a rare way.
Instead, it was.
On Chen Dong’s cold, focused face, a look of sorrow and painful weeping gradually emerged.
The black and white eyes gradually climbed to a red and blood colour, eerily holding tears.
If this scene was seen by Wolf and the others, they would have been stunned to the point of jaw-dropping.
But within this room, Chen Dong was the only one.
No one noticed this bizarre change in Chen Dong’s carving process.
Each cut was slow, but left a clear line.
A straight piece of wood, one end of which soon revealed a figurehead under Chen Dong’s carving knife.
The girl’s head, with her silky hair visible and unmistakable, was tied in a youthful and beautiful ponytail.
The face, however, only had the vague outline of five features.
Chen Dong’s carving knife, little by little, carved into the five senses, each time making a light, point-blank cut.
One after another, the knife seems to fall quickly and delicately.
In reality, the outlines of the five senses are revealed extraordinarily slowly.
During this process, it was as if Chen Dong had consumed a great deal of energy, and the look of exhaustion grew thicker on his focused, cold face.
The eyelids of his eyes looked like two pieces of iron had fallen, and he could not stop trying to close them.
Tiredness and weariness.
As the carving knife fell, a tsunami of shouts came.
Chen Dong’s consciousness gradually became blurred as well.
Suddenly.
Without warning, he closed his eyes and his body collapsed onto the fire bed in a smooth motion.
The carving knife and wood in his hand fell to the ground.
Just as he pa*sed out, he tiredly opened and closed his lower lips, and unconsciously murmured sadly, “Wife …… wait for me ……”
Chapter 1666
Squeak ……
The door to the room was pushed open.
Wolf and Doggy walked in.
At the sight of Chen Dong, who was unconscious on the fire bed, father and son were startled.
“Dog Wazi, don’t scream!”
As if he knew what Dog Wa Zi was about to do, Wolf sternly shouted to stop him.
He quickly stepped forward and after a quick check, he confirmed that Chen Dong was only sleeping and was not seriously hurt.
His eyes fell on the wooden carving on the ground.
Squatting down, he picked it up and took a look, and his pupils instantly shrank.
“Abba, what’s wrong?”
The dog boy came over in fear and trepidation.
“This wooden carving ……”
A wolf wanted to say something but stopped.
He had been involved in wood carving for nearly twenty years, and although he was not at the top of his game, he was still a master.
Only the head of a human figure was carved, and even the outline of the head’s features were blurred.
But the meaning that it contains is overwhelming.
The feeling is elusive and hard to describe.
The ponytail is long and the hair is recognisable, and Wolf is certain that he would never have been able to carve it if it were himself.
It wasn’t that it couldn’t be done in such detail, but that kind of rhythm!
Long hair like silk, ponytail youthful, the kind of feeling that, with one look, came to life as if it was floating in front of him.
This feeling alone is 18 blocks away from countless master carvers!
Technique skills, most can only be limited to the word technique, it is difficult to progress to art!
“This wood carving, it’s far worse than you, Abba!”
The dog boy gave a sidelong glance and spoke.
Slap!
A wolf slapped the back of the dog boy’s head: “I told you to study more, but you want to go and raise pigs, just this mere fuzzy head, your Abba I only had a few points back then when I started carving your mother!”
“Isn’t it just a wooden carving?”
The dog boy rubbed the back of his head with an aggrieved look.
“You’re still young, you don’t understand.”
Wolf shook his head and looked profoundly at Chen Dong who was sleeping on the fire bed.
“Little ……”
With a face full of confusion, the dog boy subconsciously stared at my own lower body and shook his head darkly.
At that very moment.
The drowsy Chen Dong let out a painful wail.
The attention of Wolf and Doggie shifted to Chen Dong at once.
Chen Dong slowly opened his eyes, looking at the father and son in front of him in a dazed and confused manner, “Is something wrong?”
“Brother Dog, you were carving a wooden sculpture last night and slept through it.” Doggy said.
“Oh?”
Chen Dong gave a startled eek and looked at the wooden carving in Wolf’s hand and smiled bitterly, “Brother Wolf, I don’t know why, but I always feel as if there is a barrier in my head, preventing me from carving this wooden carving and forbidding me to carve out the girl.”
“You’ve lost your memory, it’s normal.”
Wolf smiled gently, “Take your time, if you want to do it quickly, you won’t achieve it.”
With that, he handed the wooden carving and carving knife back to Chen Dong.
After breakfast.
Chen Dong sat on the threshold again as usual.
Without going out hunting, there was actually very little work in the village; the old crone was making shoes in the house, while Wolf and his father were chopping firewood in the yard.
All was quiet and peaceful.
Of course, this is only if the wild animals or savages do not invade the village.
In this extremely cruel living environment, any moment of peace and tranquility is just a superficial one.
Ch …… ch ……
Chen Dong looked focused, his brows knitted together as he held the carving knife in his hand and carved little by little.
His movements were slow, and each stroke was extraordinarily “light”, with only a small amount of wood shavings shaved away with each stroke.
As he cuts, the shavings fall to the ground like snow.
The figure’s features are still only a vague outline.
To Wolf, carving a figure’s features was a matter of handy.
But to Chen Dong, it was a long way off.
So much so that Chen Dong was soon immersed in this carving.
All around him the wind and snow cried out.
There was even the sound of A Wolf and his father and son chopping wood.
But all of this, Chen Dong seemed to ignore.
It was as if he was the only one in the world, with the carving knife and wood carving in his hands.
“Abba, Brother Dog is not possessed, is he? You shouldn’t have taught him to carve wood if you had known.”
Dog said worriedly as he swung an axe to split the wood in half.
Wolf frowned deeply and subconsciously glanced at Chen Dong: “We don’t understand either, leave it alone, I’m relieved that he can focus his attention on carving.”
“Hmm?”
Dog Boy was full of doubts.
A wolf did not explain.
Compared to the scene when the barbarians entered the village and Chen Dong raised his sword towards them after he had slaughtered them all.
He was happier to see Chen Dong raise his sword and fight with the wooden carving.
This sat for another whole day.
Even at dinner time, Chen Dong’s brow was furrowed as he pondered over the wood carving.
The three members of A-wolf’s family had already gotten used to this state of affairs.
In fact, ever since Wolf had taught Chen Dong wood carving, such a state of affairs had long been a daily occurrence for Chen Dong.
……
Late at night.
The cold was biting.
The sound of chanting scriptures echoed in the darkness.
There was a faint golden light washing out, turning into a circle of ripples that swept across all directions.
Everywhere it pa*sed, the ground was faintly visible, a corpse by corpse.
It is not known how long has pa*sed, but the crimson blood everywhere has already condensed into blood-coloured ice crystals, and the corpses are gradually being buried by the wind and snow.
After a long time.
The sound of chanting came to an abrupt end.
Master Empty Sky slowly lowered his joined hands, and with his eyesight, he could naturally see the corpses everywhere easily.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
Master Empty Sky recited a Buddhist hymn sadly under his breath, “The world is suffering, poor monks have lived in the Hanging Temple for a long time, but they have forgotten to universalise all living beings, and have even made a grave mistake in Xiongnu. This time, Master Dao Lin is both asking poor monks to look for Chen Dong, and giving poor monks a chance to walk the earth.”
Suddenly.
In the distant darkness, a pair of turquoise eyes lit up.
At the same time, a dull, threatening beast’s roar came.
Master Empty followed and looked over, but it was a snow wolf staring at itself.
With that fierce look, it was as if it was treating him and the corpses everywhere as food for its belly!
The next second.
An ear-splitting wolf whistle.
The snow wolf brazenly pounced towards Master Khongkong, but its target was not Master Khongkong, but the nearest corpse.
“Poof!”
The wolf’s mouth fell down brazenly and frantically tore into it.
In the snowy plains, food was especially precious, not only to humans, but also to beasts.
They would never let go of any chance to survive.
“Stop it!”
Master Empyrean rose violently, a strong wind whistling all over his body and a golden light appearing.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of the snow wolf.
The golden light in his hand was as bright as if it was cast in gold, and with a brazen palm, it landed directly on top of the snow wolf’s head.
With a wail.
The snow wolf fell to the ground and died.
“The dead are great, how dare the fierce beasts insult the corpse!”
Master Empty Air had a solemn appearance and shouted sternly.
Only as soon as the words left his mouth, his body swayed violently and he staggered back a step.
“Poof!”
A mouthful of fresh blood was spat out violently, splattering on the ground.
The Qi energy that had been running smoothly instantly ran through his body like a thousand horses out of control.
Master Kong Kong was struck by lightning and sat on the ground in fear.
“Karma, how could a poor monk ever be so weak? Is it really because of the Xiongnu trip that the fruit position was broken?”
