After getting the ticket to the Chicago Knife Show, Chu Yan walked into the bathroom, and in the process of taking a bath, he made a detailed plan for what he needed to do recently, until he finally lay down on the big bed in the bedroom and fell asleep contentedly.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Yan came to the antique city for the first time, and the first thing he planned to do when he took a shower yesterday was to get the carved list first, and then go to Murong Wanruo's father to collect debts, and then accompany Ling Hulan to Beidu City to participate in the underwear show to act as a guest.

During that period, he had three things to do, first, go to the Gude Art School and meet Yun Siwu, although there is no need for direct contact, but side understanding is a must be done, this is Chu Yan's promise to his dead brother.

Second, I want to take a look at Xiao Zihan, this talented surgical scalpel, although her achievements in the medical field are brilliant, but she really has no level in terms of human sophistication, he wants to know how she is doing recently.

The third thing is to go and talk to Xiao Zijing by the way, because if Murong Wanruo said before, Xiao Zijing is likely to have important clues about the source of the angel's dream.

And after doing these things, Chu Yan will completely retreat, cut off any contact with the outside world, and concentrate on completing the work he is going to participate in the Chicago Knife Show in the studio!

With a clear idea in his heart, what Chu Yan needs to do is to complete him step by step, and the first thing is naturally to get the order of the guest of some unknown origin first, and as for the rest, we will talk about it later.

Everywhere is carved, on the second floor, Chu Yan and Su Yinan are standing in the carving room, Chu Yan's hand is holding a narrow diamond-shaped carving knife, which Chu Yan specially got back through some special channels, and also gave this knife a name, called Lingzhi!

"Ready to start, you watch, don't ask, keep quiet. In the sculpture room, Chu Yan had already held the narrow stone in his hand, and the water mill was also ready, Su Yinan nodded on the side, put on the goggles, and at the same time took out his mobile phone, ready to shoot the process of Chu Yan's production.

Grinding is a very boring thing, but in this boring also contains a very high technical content, the narrow stone gradually fades the rough skin under the polishing of the water mill, and becomes a shape like a fish body.

Su Yinan's mobile phone stopped after filming the entire polishing process, not because the phone was out of battery, but because she had no time to shoot, Chu Yan's next carving process really made her unable to be distracted, and a pair of big watery eyes stared at Chu Yan's hands!

Holding the stone in the left hand and the knife in the right hand, the sharp enough of the diamond blade can break the stone, the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is to ensure the density of the H2O9-S softening liquid spray, and do not let the frequency of corrosion and softening exceed the speed of the blade carving, otherwise it will affect the perfection of the work.

Slow, very slow, Chu Yan's hands, the joints are slightly white, this is because in addition to maintaining the strength and lines of the blade, it also takes a lot of energy to control the traces on the surface of the stone, although the carving needs to be finely polished after the initial completion, but Chu Yan likes to do things simpler, but behind these simple, it is a very high price.

Four hours passed in a flash, and when the diamond blade in Chu Yan's hand flashed away, Su Yinan found that he actually took a long breath as if he hadn't breathed for a long time, his chest rose and fell slightly, but his eyes could no longer leave the stone dagger that had been carved!

The dark cyan stone dagger lay quietly on the sculpture platform, although the carved traces of the hard lines were obvious, they did not feel ugly at all, and in the excitement, Su Yinan pulled the condensed magnifying glass on the side, and gently held the stone dagger in his hand and put it directly under the magnifying glass, and observed carefully.

"It's... Brother Chu, this dagger seems to be the most famous dagger in the Spring and Autumn Period, less than half a foot long enough to fit into the belly of any fish served on the table. Su Yinan looked at the short dagger under the magnifying glass, and suddenly a vague fragment flashed in his mind, which was a picture he saw in the book of cultural relics, which showed a fish intestine dagger unearthed three years ago, and the shape, size and even color were almost the same as the stone dagger made by Chu Yan in front of him.

"Less than ten centimeters, I remember that most of the dimensions of the Spring and Autumn Period were taken from the conversion system of the Zhou Dynasty, 1 zhang = 10 feet, 1 foot = 10 inches, 1 inch = 10 points, 1 foot = 19.9 centimeters, according to the historical records of the fish intestine dagger is less than half a foot, according to an inch of 1.99 centimeters to convert, that is, 9.95 centimeters!" Chu Yan himself is a top knife master, for the history of this famous fish intestine dagger naturally also heard a little, before Chu Yan looked at the drawings felt that this dagger was a little strange, as if a little familiar, because it is a frame structure of the drawing, so I couldn't see it for a while, now as soon as the semi-finished product appeared, he found that this seems to be similar to the legendary fish intestine dagger!

"Look at that man's strange appearance, it can't be a cultural relics dealer, right? No wonder it's so mysterious!" Su Yinan's guess made Chu Yan also quite agree in his heart, "Whatever, whether it's a cultural relics dealer or not has nothing to do with us, okay, I have to go out, and I'll leave it to you here." ”

Su Yinan nodded, looked at Chu Yan, who had already changed into civilian clothes, opened his mouth but didn't say anything, just watched Chu Yan open the door of the sculpture room, "The work is not finished yet, the fine polishing will be handed over to you, I believe you can handle it, right?" After Chu Yan finished speaking, he reached out and took out a cigarette in the butt pocket of his jeans, lit it in his mouth, turned around and walked downstairs.

"I can do it!" Although most of Su Yinan's thoughts were on the stone dagger, the cigarette that Chu Yan lit made her nose shrug slightly, and the thick incomprehension in her eyes resurfaced.

Su Yinan looked at the back of the sculpture room that had already walked out, the small dimples on the side of his mouth appeared sweetly, and after a while, his attention returned to the stone dagger again.

Chu Yan left the sculpture room and came downstairs, took out a can of beer from the refrigerator on one side, sat on the sofa in the reception area, turned on the music and drank it.

Drinking beer, Chu Yan's mind resurfaced the figure of that person, the almost iconic movements and rhythm made Chu Yan have to wonder, what made that group of guys come here, Chu Yan knew very well, that group of people have always been unprofitable guys, and they must have a clear purpose when they came here.

Chu Yan didn't figure out what was going on for a while, so he simply left him behind for the time being, he still had more important things to do, so as long as he didn't take the initiative to come to the door to find trouble, then ignore him.

"Su Yinan, I'll go out to eat, what do you eat, bring it back for you. "Chu Yan, the boss, is very humane, and he can't starve his employees when he eats.

"A shrimp burger, a cup of mashed potatoes and a cup of chicken corn, and a cup of coffee. Su Yinan had been waiting for Chu Yan's words for a long time, and said his lunch without thinking much about opening his mouth, looking at Chu Yan's face with a faint smile, the dimples on the side of Su Yinan's mouth appeared shallowly.

About an hour later, Chu Yan's figure returned to the omnipresent carving, downstairs, Fan Xianghan and Wang Lan were about to get off work to eat, Su Yinan was still working in the upstairs sculpture room, the fine polishing had just been carried out for a third of the time, on the sculpture table, there were several books on fine polishing, and at the same time Su Yinan's laptop, the picture of the computer opening was a video tutorial of fine polishing, and at the same time, there was a web page that was minimized under the window.

Obviously, Su Yinan is the first time to do fine polishing of stone carving, and it is indispensable to check a lot of information, although the polishing skills have already been clearly remembered, but it is always a little nervous to actually operate immediately, fortunately, the polishing of stone daggers requires some soft material operations, and there is no need to worry about big mistakes.

"Brother Chu, are you back?" Seeing Chu Yan come back, for some reason, Su Yinan's nervous heart suddenly relaxed, and the movements in his hands became smooth and fast, compared to before, it was like two people.
