Chapter 57 The Ugly Puppet
Ding Yi woke up again, it was the fifth day of the night, he opened his eyes and saw his mother lying next to his bed, her hands holding one of Ding Yi's hands, that is a pair of hard hands soaked in water all day long, killing fish, beating fish scales, that is a pair of white but not plump, skin often soaked in water wrinkled hands, this is also the hand that works hard to do housework every day, hard work to make money to support the family, this is also the hand that has been holding him since he babbled, this is also a pair of hands that are often raised high, but never fall......
Ding Yi's hand couldn't help but retract it, he just wanted to withdraw it gently, but this small action also woke up the mother who was caregiving. She grabbed Ding Yi's hand again with quick speed.
"Xiaoyi, you're awake, good, you're finally awake, thank God. You stupid boy, why are you angry with your father, you've scared the hell out of our family these days. Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, quickly bring the chicken soup on the stove......" Wu Shuhui was teary-eyed, at this moment the image of his childhood mother in Ding Yi's mind returned.
Ding Zhaoding and Ding Li also poured into the bedroom. Ding Yi saw Ding Zhaoding subconsciously hiding back, and Wu Shuhui complained loudly about her husband again. Ding Zhaoding just leaned on the side of the table and didn't say a word. Ding Li hurriedly took the opportunity to hand over the towel to comfort his mother.
"Old fellow, you have something to say. Wu Shuhui was not satisfied with Ding Zhaoding's attitude. Urging her husband to express his position, Ding Zhaoding also lost his previous attachment at this moment, after all, his son had just come around from the ghost gate. If Ding Yun hadn't found out in time, it would be very likely that he would have really lost this son.
When he was sent to the clinic, the old doctor's words were still in his ears, even if he was delayed for a few more hours, Ding Yi's life would really be lost.
"Xiaoyi, it's good for you to wake up, I shouldn't have beaten you, in fact, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, I beat you, I feel very uncomfortable, I just want you not to touch those strange things, and read the book well, anyway, you are such a big person, you should also have your own ideas, how to go in your own life, you have to think about it yourself, you just need to know, I don't have bad intentions, my family is looking forward to your success, you think about it yourself in the future." After Ding Zhaoding said these words, it seemed that half of his spirit and spirit had been drained away, and he drooped his head, it seemed that his heart was also very uncomfortable.
Ding Li interjected: "Xiao Yi, those you learn are all the small ways of the left road, everything is inferior, only reading is high, what is the use of you learning those? At most, you will become a craftsman in the future, or reading good books is the king." Don't think about it so much, you've scared your parents out these days. You just tell your parents, 'I'm not going to touch those things anymore,' and then you can study." ”
Ding Yi didn't pay attention to Ding Li's words, he just stared at Ding Zhaoding. Ding Zhaoding looked at his son speechless for a long time, sighed and turned to leave.
After drinking chicken soup, I felt that my strength had regained a few points, and I lay in bed for a few days, and I don't know what the situation is outside now. I don't know if Lao Zhang's reward was sent over. I was so cranky until dawn.
Yuan Zhen ran over early in the morning, and he was also worried about his old friend's condition. The day before yesterday, Yuan Kui was a little better and brought him over to visit the door. learned that Ding Yi had been in a coma for a few days and nights, and he was about to complain that his old friend had not come to visit him for the past few days, but he was also suffocated, but he was deeply worried about his old friend's condition.
In the yard, I was very happy to see that Ding Yi could already walk slowly in the yard against the wall. After eating breakfast at Ding's house, Yuan Zhen and Ding Yi went to Ding Yi's bedroom together, of course, Ding Li still called Yuan Zhen aside and talked to him about it before that.
"You're not going to come to give me an ideological education class like my family, are you?" said Ding Yi as soon as he entered the room.
"That's okay, Ding Ding, who is with whom of our brothers, by the way, you haven't shown up for the past few days, but I have studied the books you gave me well, I don't believe you can test me." Yuan Zhen said.
Ding Yi felt very relieved, at least he and Yuan Zhen still supported him. Now, although the family is still against him continuing to study puppetry, there will not be such a fierce attitude. When Ding Yi took out the pile of bits and pieces, Yuan Zhen was startled. Looking at the broken, broken visors, springs, hairsprings, and screws, one can imagine how much of a tantrum Ding Zhaoding had at that time.
Ding Yi covered his cheeks, which had not completely subsided, and said to Yuan Zhen: "Is Yuan Kui really okay now? If you are worried about him, you can go to your house, today our task is to repair these puppets, of course, how many can be repaired." ”
"It's better for you to be here, I happen to have relatives at home today who can help take care of him. Yuan Zhen said.
So the brothers began to repair the puppet. These puppets are all Duoduo's works, and repairing these works itself has a layer of apology to Master Duoduo in it, but it is impossible to completely repair these puppets, because of Ding Zhaoding's strong destruction, many parts have been completely damaged and can no longer be used, even if there are some spare parts in the box, it is still far from enough.
Yuan Zhen started and methodically picked out those completely damaged components first, and then picked out those parts that could be repaired again, and the rest were some parts that could be reused, Ding Yi carefully screened, and calculated the structure of the reorganized puppet in his heart, but it was still Ding Zhaoding's old man who was powerful, twelve puppets, and thousands of components that could be used again in the end, and there were only less than two hundred parts that could be used again, and quite a lot of key parts had been completely scrapped, and they had to find a way.
It seems that the old man is so annoyed by Ding Yi's 'not doing his job'. You must know that each of these twelve puppets had to sell for one or two hundred silver dollars outside, and they were destroyed under his big feet.
Yuan Zhen worked hard to correct the uneven armor one by one with a small wooden hammer, and restored the parts that could be corrected one by one. Ding Yi sketched a model of the new puppet on his desk, and made full use of the components that could be reused, and redesigned a new mode of operation, although the prototype structure of the twelve puppets had long been remembered by Ding Yi, but because the elements that could be used were really limited, it was impossible to restore the original appearance.
Ding Yi is not yet a puppeteer at the feather level, and he has not yet designed and manufactured his own works, which is a new challenge.
Since these twelve puppets are all humanoid puppets, and the components are also set according to the specifications of the humanoid, the puppet designed by Ding Yi is also a humanoid puppet, but he has four arms, and the action control part, Ding Yi is even controlled by double helical gears, which makes this humanoid puppet different from the original puppet, this is an attack puppet, this puppet will have a perception of every step of his feet, for example, he walks on the desk, walks to the side of the desk, he will not step into the air, but will turn around and look for a new path。
When he encounters an obstacle, he will try to climb with all four arms, and when he encounters a thrust, he will attack the opponent with all four arms and his own weapon.
In fact, this is just a puppet that uses the original ideas of Master Duoduo and adds his own creativity to form a puppet. Strictly speaking, the operation mode of this design is still dominated by Duoduo's design, and Ding Yi only complicates and functionalizes this work. It's like Duoduo built a house, and Ding Yi renovated the house on this basis. There is no way to have the parts at hand, and the existing conditions do not allow Ding Yi to make greater improvements.
Ding Yi's design is basically no big problem, and in the end, the head of this martial artist bears the appearance of this puppet, and the armor of other parts of the body is made up of various splices of flowers. Ding Yi didn't pay much attention to the appearance of this ugly puppet, but the key was the use of his internal mechanism.
As a new type of puppet with a double helical gear structure, Ding Yi was worried that this structure would conflict with each other, and after the design, in the commissioning stage, Ding Yi found that the flexibility of this puppet was far from his expectations.
So he and Yuan Zhen dismantled and changed, changed and reinstalled, installed and dismantled, and failed to make a puppet that met the requirements of the design all morning.
Ding Li didn't go out today, he was studying at home, after all, Ding Yi had just recovered from a serious illness and still needed to be taken care of. Today's lunch is also his open. Actually, if he made it, it was just to heat up the food, and the family is still different from Ding Yun and Ding Li. Generally, he is not allowed to do these so-called menial jobs.
Lunch was a deer sly meatloaf, with beetroot soup, Ding Yi couldn't help frowning, he was especially disgusted with this red liquid now, that frightening nightmare, always aroused by this kind of thing in front of him, causing his stomach to unconsciously beat. I grabbed two pieces of bread, said that I was still a little unwell, and went into the room.
"What's wrong with him?" Ding Li asked Yuan Zhendao. To be honest, since he beat Ding Yi that day, Ding Li obviously felt that Ding Yi was alienated from him, instead of worshipping him and getting tired of him like before. Ding Li also wanted to repair his relationship with Ding Yi, but he obviously felt that his younger brother was deliberately avoiding him, and this feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.
"I don't know. But Brother Li, Xiao Yi is really powerful, do you know? Xiao Yi has designed a new puppet, this is amazing. I think Xiao Yidu is about to become a feather-level puppeteer. Yuan Zhen said.
"So what? In the future, you will have to deal with those machines all day long like those craftsmen? Don't you think of a decent life in the future? This is the way you should go. If you have time, you have to persuade Xiao Yi, this guy is reluctant. Ding Li said in an old-fashioned manner.
Yuan Zhen hurriedly said yes.
When Yuan Zhen returned to Ding Yi's room, Ding Yi had already started working again, it seems that there is still a big difference between theory and practice, "Organ Science" is not as simple as it seems, the configuration and use of some parts are not just by being able to roll melons and memorize the whole book. Due to Ding Yi's redesign, those original components were not so compatible, and Ding Yi had to take a lot of trouble to recalculate and re-change.
Ding Yi doesn't have such a strong hands-on ability, and his practical work experience is pitiful, even if he has a helper like Yuan Zhen, the actual operation is still weak, and there are constant problems. Fortunately, it was just a change to some parts, not a remake, which saved a lot of work. But even then the amount of work is quite large.
In this way, it was repaired, modified, disassembled, and assembled, and an afternoon passed, and this puppet was just a bunch of parts.
After Ding Yun came back, Ding Yi stopped the movements in his hands.
"Tomorrow, we'll continue tomorrow. Ding Yi said to his friend.
Yuan Zhen stopped what he was doing and cleaned up the scattered parts with Ding Yi. Ding Yun walked into the room and frowned when he saw this.
"Xiao Yi, why are you doing these ghost halls again, you forgot why you were beaten by your father? You know that your family is against you like this, why can't you repent? Why don't you study like Brother Li, and you are especially angry with your family?" Ding Yun said angrily.
"Second sister, I know that my family is against me, thinking that I just don't do my job, thinking that I should stay at home and learn some "Sutras" like my eldest brother, thinking that I should follow the path you planned, but you all seem to have forgotten that it was I who used the wild way you looked down on to get money for this family and pay off the family's debts. I understand the path I have to take. In your eyes, it is crooked, in your eyes, it is not a good job, but this is the life I want, the future I want, whether you support it or hate it, anyway, I made such a choice. Ding Yi This is the first time he really vented what he wanted to say.
Ding Yun was dumbfounded, is this still the naïve younger brother who is submissive to himself, a little playful and naughty, and loves to think cranky all day long?
Yuan Zhen quickly slipped out, this atmosphere was not right.
After Ding Zhaoding and his wife returned home, the family exchanged views. Due to the lessons of the past, Ding Yi's stubbornness made them also a little jealous, and in the end they could only end helplessly in Ding Zhaoding's ending sentence "The family is unfortunate".
Ding Yi is himself, locked in the bedroom and continues to work on his design and creation.
For three days in a row, Yuan Zhen didn't show up, and he didn't know if it was because his relatives at home left to take care of Yuan Kui, or if he didn't come over for some other reason, Ding Yi had been trying to improve his puppet in the past few days, and he even forgot the reward that Lao Zhang wanted to give him.
Ding Zhaoding has also been completely discouraged by Ding Yi since he beat Ding Yi. This unconventional little son made him too lazy to mention it. On the one hand, Wu Shuhui felt sorry for her son who worked like this day and night, and she didn't know how to dissuade Ding Yi.
Two days before the Heavenly Sage Day, Ding Yi finally finished making his puppet.
This is an ugly puppet, and it can be seen from the appearance of this puppet that due to a lot of changes, the head of this puppet still retains the original appearance of a martial artist. It's just that all parts of the body are patchwork and assembled. At first glance, it looks like a doll with a lot of patches.
But this is indeed a feather-level puppet, and it is one of the few attack puppets among the puppets. And since he has four arms and holds four different weapons: a spear at range, a sword and a shield at close range, and he looks like that for a moment. Except for the fact that this puppet is really ugly, everything else is very balanced.
Ding Yi experimented several times and found that there was nothing wrong with this puppet, so he put this puppet away, and he was going to take this puppet to Xu Ji and let Duoduo take a look. I haven't seen much in a few days, and I actually miss it very much. However, when he opened the door, Ding Yi realized that it was still late at night.
In the past few days, the nerves have been highly concentrated and nervous, and it is said that this relaxation should soon make you feel tired, but Ding Yi is still very excited, and this kind of excitement makes Ding Yi unable to stop.
It was easy to survive until dawn, Ding Zhaoding, and Wu Shuhui had just gotten up, and Ding Yi hurriedly greeted them and rushed out of the door. Ignoring Wu Shuhui's loud advice behind him, at this moment, he just wanted to see Duoduo, he really had too much to say to Duoduo.
