Skilled talents who are highly valued in small and medium tribes are more common in large tribes. There are even five or six herbal doctors, not including witch doctors, Buddhist doctors, and other talents. There are quite a lot, and there are seven carvers, who specialize in carving some gold and silver wares, including jade carvings.

The patriarch's wife, in addition to a serious one, there are also several young ladies and his daughters. These people have a great demand for accessories, and they are not satisfied with the ones sent by the caravan every time. Perhaps, they will let these sculptors give full play to their strengths and make more of them.

Some of these sculptors are male slaves, some are second- or third-generation slaves who have been almost assimilated here, and some are sent by other tribes, and some of them are cultivated by themselves.

Ji Mo came here after being taken away by the person in charge. Together with these sculptors, the person in charge spoke, but they didn't control Ji Mo, and let him choose materials. Not long after, Hong Chou, the sculptor, was also sent here. here.

The master and the apprentice said a few words, Hong Chou only said "You", and didn't say anything after that. Ji Mo patted his small bag with a smile: "I have all the tools with me. I will definitely study hard."

This time, he chose a jade carving, a very simple water lotus with green lotus leaves, and the white water lily became more and more pure. the tranquility.

The Buddhist doctor in the tribe saw such a work, and after knowing that it was made by a child as young as Ji Mo, he sighed and said, "A child always has a piece of pure land in his heart."

This was probably regarded as a compliment. Later, the person in charge said that Ji Mo could stay. For example, there are quite a lot of people like Ji Mo who stayed in the big tribe because of his skills. He is not special among them. Let him go. When he was the patriarch, he also said that he would definitely learn how to carve, and he would go back to carve for the tribe in the future.

The patriarch shook his head slightly, what kind of carvings did their small tribe want, but they still took the jade flower handed by Ji Mo, the slender flower branches stretched out, and the blooming flowers were clear and elegant. He carved it for Ah Sang, and the patriarch agreed to hand it over.

"Don't worry about me, I will be fine."

Although Ji Mo is young, he understands that he is not a child anymore. Living elsewhere for his skills is like going to a boarding school. , the conditions here are much better than at home.

"I'm still here, what can you do wrong?"

Lange knocked on Ji Mo's head, he was also going to be left behind. In this war, Cang Feng led those people in the tribe to contribute. The patriarch is still old and has no drive. He will lead Let the other people go back, and Lange will stay here, which is equivalent to being a hostage, and it is a means for the big tribe to hold them back.

Otherwise, each tribe will lead their own team, what can they do if they don't obey orders.

Ji Mo doesn't know many people here, but Lange knows a few people. He also came here when he sent tributes before. As a member of the same tribe, Lange brought Ji Mo with him. "Bringing" means sleeping in a tent at night, and at other times, throughout the day, Ji Mo will be in the tent where the sculptors are, absorbing their knowledge like a duck to water.

Hong Chou is good at stone and jade carvings, as well as wood carvings, and gold and silverware carvings, but he is not as particular as those professional ones. Some of these sculptors gathered here are from family traditions, some are from teachers, and some are self-taught. Some are good at gold carvings, some are good at silver carvings, and some are good at porcelain carvings, which is really amazing.

Put a cushion on the inside of the porcelain bowl and put it on a wooden wedge. The wooden wedge is the kind of head that is made into a semicircle in advance, just enough to support a bowl. Hold a delicate small carving knife, supplemented by a small wooden hammer, It is really a delicate job to carve patterns on it little by little, and how hard it is to ensure that the porcelain will not be smashed and at the same time complete the carving outside. Polished to a smooth surface, more shiny.

In comparison, the engraving of gold and silver wares is a bit rough, not because of the roughness of the engraving technique, but because of the way these hand-crafted sculptors open and close, as if they were hammering iron, Ji Mo can see I was stunned, shouldn't I be cautious?

What made him even more stunned was the large stone sculpture, which was really made with a hammer, and it didn't look like he was doing any fine work.

Of course, this is the early stage. This is the way to roughly carve the lines, but not when the fine decoration is done later. The advantage of gold and silverware is that if the carving is broken, it is easier to remedy it. Heat the iron awl Yes, iron it on it, melt it in a small area and then shape it. After the completion, it will generally not be seen as inappropriate.

Looking at this scene, Ji Mo felt a little joy from seeing a girl's curly hair, but this is also common, and this method of ironing is also used on wood carvings, in order to leave that special color, and An embellishment to the shape due to this color.

Looking at the sculptors with rough palms, each one is rough and rough and covered with debris, but the things in their hands are becoming more and more delicate, so delicate that they don't seem to be born from such rough hands, unlike those Rugged people covered in crumbs and dust can do it.

A jade carving with peony entangled branches is really amazing at the moment of completion. It is like the red color left over from the volcanic eruption. It is deep and shallow, and some parts seem to be so deep that it is black. It is a unique jade material in the grassland. , not as expensive as white jade, but in the skillful hands of the sculptor, it has become a beautiful scene of rich and prosperous flowers. The petals are layered and staggered, because the colors are different in shades. Numerous complexities are forming this lush scene.

Supplemented with a wood carving base, the jade carvings placed there are like unrestrained beauties, quietly waiting for the amazement in the eyes of everyone to gather together.

Most of these sculptors were not very talkative, and it was common for them not to speak for a day. In this tent, even Hong Chou was affected by this atmosphere and stopped talking much.

He also picked a piece of jade, and instructed Ji Mo to choose a small piece. The master and apprentice would stay in the tent when they were carving. I also took it outside and talked while doing it in the cold wind. I was so cold that I went back to the tent again.

After going back and forth, everyone knew about their master-student relationship. Several male slaves turned sculptors tried to persuade Hong Chou not to pay too much attention, but Hong Chou waved his hand and didn't care at all: "In my whole life , only this, if you don’t even keep a descendant, I’m sorry for the craftsmanship passed down, Ji Mo is a good boy, I will teach him with my heart.”

I don’t know how these words got out, let’s not say what the big tribe thinks about this matter, it reached Lange’s ears, and he asked Ji Mo about his study progress at night.

[Main task: Carver. 】

[Current task: professional knowledge learning - (74/100)]

Ji Mo replied cheerfully, he really didn't expect that the increase of professional knowledge points can be obtained from others, even without the need for others to teach, as long as he has watched them sculpt an object from beginning to end, he can complete it in the object. Then get one to two points of professional knowledge.

During this period of time, he really benefited a lot from being in that tent.

"They are all very powerful. I have learned a lot. Unfortunately, most of them are carving small things. When will we build a city? I heard that there are cities in the south. If there is a city, maybe we can carve more. There are many things, so that there are patterns on every wall brick."

This is really a "big picture". Lange heard it funny, and really laughed, and replied: "What do you know?"

Grassland people live by water and grass. If they stay in one place for a long time, it is very likely that the local ecology will suffer huge damage. There will be no more grass in the coming year. Those sheep that dig roots are not easy to raise. It was this rotation that gave the pasture time to recover.

"Always in one place, the grass doesn't grow anymore."

Lang Ge's answer is simple and comes from his father's generation. Maybe when he was very young, he had similar questions and got the same answer.

There are no relatives around, and the only one who is closer seems to be Ji Mo in the tribe. He is not as social as Lange left by accident, and can't help Lange, but his existence itself, this kind of company makes him Lang Ge's life here is not so lonely and difficult.

Lang Ge paid attention to the news ahead, the battle was not going very smoothly, there were some twists and turns, among them, which tribe lost people, and which tribe was going to retreat, he was shocked every time he heard it, he and Cangfeng's The relationship between brothers is really normal, if the other party refuses to obey orders because of their temperament, what will happen to themselves?

Even if the fleeing tribe lost its relationship with the big tribe, but everyone would be killed, wouldn't it be worse if they didn't escape?And at this time, their sons who stayed in the big tribe will be very unlucky, and one of them will be sent back after killing their heads.

At that time, they were all onlookers, and it was the first time that Lange saw the majesty of the big tribe, in the form of blood.

are you afraid?

Maybe some, more of a thrill of excitement, what would happen if he was the patriarch of such a large tribe?

The riders in iron armor were cold and ruthless, and their weapons were even more cruel and indifferent, but what was the old patriarch who was guarded by them, the old patriarch with a big belly and a gorgeous fur fur, who did not rush to kill at all?

The wolf king will grow old eventually, who is the new wolf king?

A trace of ambition lurks under the seemingly fearful appearance, Lang Ge smiled and said to Ji Mo: "When I build a city in the future, you can go carve bricks."

In the childlike jokes, there may be the deepest desire hidden.
