"Xiaoyang, who are these two people! ?" A white-haired old man walking on crutches walked into the cave. His eyes were fixed on Gu Lin and Reba, as if he was examining the two of them. Zheng Xiaoyang immediately came forward and said,"Master, what are you doing? here we go again? The old man said angrily:"I have stayed in this Mogao Grottoes for most of my life, and this place is like my home." I can't come yet? -" Zheng Xiaoyang was helpless:"You have said this a thousand times. But the doctor asked you to take good care of your body. If you have nothing to do, don't run around. The old man seemed to realize that he was in the wrong and stopped continuing the topic. He then asked,"You haven't told me yet. What's going on with these two people?" You're not taking tourists into the cave privately, are you? Zheng Xiaoyang sighed:"Would I commit such a principle issue?" This person is a celebrity and came to experience the work of our mural restorers." Hearing this, the hostility towards Gu Lin in the old man's eyes lightened a bit. "Well, no matter what, we must not let non-professionals touch the murals, do you understand?"
The old man instructed. Zheng Xiaoyang nodded repeatedly,"I understand." "I'll supervise their work while you do yours." After that, the old man walked straight into the cave. When he came to the place where the restorer was working, he began to give instructions:"Xiao Jiang, I told you that the hollowing of small areas of murals does not require so much adhesive. Why are you wrong again? Woolen cloth." In fact, there was no flaw in the restoration work under his hands. After criticizing Xiao Jiang, the old man looked at another restorer and scolded him again. "Master Zheng, who is this old man? Reba stepped forward and asked curiously. Zheng Xiaoyang sighed,"My grandfather." Reba asked again:"Is he also a restorer?" It feels like everyone listens to him." Zheng Xiaoyang said:"My grandfather was one of the first restorers of the Mogao Grottoes. He stayed here sixty-six years. All restorers, including me, are his apprentices" "Sixty-six years!" Reba was shocked. From an ordinary person's perspective, it is indeed difficult to understand that a person can persist in a career for a decade. "What about his longevity this year?"Reba then asked "Almost ninety." When he mentioned this, Zheng Xiaoyang sighed again and continued: Reba nodded,"It's normal that he is still obsessed with this job." "I can understand his mood, but his health is really bad now and he can't bear to run back and forth every day. I have tried to persuade you countless times, but to no avail!"
Zheng Xiaoyang shrugged helplessly. Reba immediately looked at Gu Lin behind her and said,"Gu Lin, aren't you a sharp-tongued person? How about you go and persuade Grandpa Zheng? Gu Lin chuckled and said,"What should I advise?" This old man seems to have a stubborn temper and cannot be persuaded. Zheng Xiaoyang said quickly:"Oh, look at me, why am I so bitter with you?" Let's go ahead and I'll teach you how to copy the mural." Whether they are learning to fire blue and white porcelain or learning to make rice paper, other guests can at least practice it themselves. But mural restoration, without years of study, is impossible to practice. Mural copying is one of them. Many murals are old because of their age. Because of this , the painting will be missing. At this time , a restorer will need to repaint the mural, and to do so, it is necessary to have a sufficient understanding of the painting techniques of the mural. At that time, Zheng Xiaoyang brought a bucket of yellow mud and said,"This is Dunhuang soil. We will need to use this to make clay tablets later. Reba was puzzled,"Why use clay tablets?" Zheng Xiaoyang explained:"Copying clay tablets can better restore the real murals. I will teach you how to make clay tablets now. "" Then, he began to teach in a precise manner. Reba listened attentively. She followed Zheng Xiaoyang's instructions. And Gu Lin knew more or less this knowledge. In addition, he was impatient. Therefore, he always Zheng Xiaoyang completed the process mentioned by Zheng Xiaoyang at first, but upon closer inspection, his steps were exactly right. Gu Lin did all the complicated procedures including applying the protective medium, and he did it very well. Zheng Xiaoyang was confused for a moment. Was he here to learn, or was he here to cause trouble? Discussions continue ——【Although it doesn’t look difficult, it’s outrageous that he can even do this.】 ——【I can’t remember how many times I was shocked by Brother Linzi】 ——【Routine operation, just get used to it】 ——【I feel more and more that it is so unfair when Nuwa pinches people!】 ……
Gu Lin quickly made the clay tablets needed for copying and sent them to the sun outside the cave to dry. Seeing this, Zheng Xiaoyang shook his head and smiled,"It seems that there is no need for me as a teacher. Then I won't disturb you." He knew very well that the essence of the show was a romance show. Now that Gu Lin understands everything, he simply doesn't want to be this light bulb anymore. "Hey, Master Zheng, how much do you need to add to this pure latex?" Reba still has questions. "Miss Reba, if you don’t understand anything, just ask Mr. Gu, he should know it." Zheng Xiaoyang waved his hand and walked towards the cave. At this time, Gu Lin also came back from outside,"Why is Old Zheng gone? Reba said:"He said you knew how to do it and asked you to teach me." Gu Lin smiled and said,"Old Zheng is really good at judging people." Reba looked at him suspiciously,"Are you really good at it?"" "I don't know how to make a clay tablet?" "Then please teach me how much pure latex should be added to prepare this fine mud and grass layer. Gu Lin was ashamed,"Have you just come this far?" Reba pouted,"I'm a slow learner. What can I do?"" "Then don't learn it anymore. Let's just copy it from a clay tablet later." Gu Lin lay down on the chair to rest. Reba was still a little unhappy for a moment,"Are you too lazy to teach me? Gu Lin said:"Aren't we two together?" Copying a slate does not count as completing the task. The program team didn't ask us to complete it individually? Hearing this, Reba immediately smiled and said,"That's right, then let's copy it together."" The words Gu Lin said inadvertently were equivalent to words of love to her. An hour later, under the sun's rays, the clay tablet was finally completely dry. The mural copying they experienced was a simple version. Clay. After the board is formed, it is only necessary to rub the paper with the mural pattern on the clay board, then trace and color it. At this time, Reba selects the pattern she likes among the drawing papers left by Zheng Xiaoyang. "What, you don’t like it? Gu Lin asked. Reba smacked her lips,"They are all Buddha statues. I don't like them very much.""
"So what do you like?" "Just this one on the wall." Reba said, pointing to the mural in the cave. What she pointed at was a picture of a flying fairy with a shifting shape. "It's simple, just let me draw it for you."(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) Gu Lin held up the slate with one hand, grabbed the brush with the other, and came to the mural. He simply measured it with his hands, and then started to write. Painting. Reba said happily:"Hey, I even forgot that you can paint. Gu Lin smiled and said:"If you ask me to create something original, I may not be able to draw it well, but if you follow the drawing, it will be fine if you have the skills."" "Anyway, I will just draw the outline and you will color it later so that you can feel a little involved. Reba smiled and nodded,"Well, remember to take a rest when you are tired from painting."" ——【Days later, this couple is getting sweeter and sweeter.】 ——【Something is wrong with Brother Linzi. Why has he become gentle?】 ——【Love has changed him beyond recognition】 ——【Mom, I believe in love again】 …… Gu Lin drew the outline of the flying fairy on the clay tablet. Next, all you need to do is apply color to Reba. With outlines, coloring is easy and is no different from children's coloring games. Gu Lin, on the other hand, was chattering away and giving instructions. "Why can this piece be colored azure? Red and green compete for shit, haven’t you heard of it?" "Your aesthetic level is still too advanced for current humans." "It's better for me to color it. You've almost ruined this masterpiece of mine." Reba had a cold face and her heart was full of resentment. Why does this guy talk so much? There was a little touch of emotion just now, but now, it's all gone! ——【Hahaha, I take back what I just said, Brother Linzi still hasn’t changed】 ——【He would be perfect if he didn't have that mouth, 2333……】
——【But I still like to see him like this. His gentleness is really uncomfortable.】 …… Under Gu Lin's mother-level command, Reba reluctantly completed the coloring work. A lifelike flying mural is completed. After the paint dried, Gu Lin picked up the sandpaper and polished it. Reba was puzzled:"What are you doing?" Gu Lin smiled and said:"Make it old! After I finish polishing it, I will do some processing to make sure it looks like an old object. If you take it to Panjiayuan, you may return it. You can fool people." Reba said with shame,"You know so many things!" "If you don't learn well at a young age, you just want to show off and cheat?" An old voice suddenly came from behind. Gu Lin turned around and saw that it was Zheng Xiaoyang's grandfather. Gu Lin smiled and said,"It's just a joke, old man, don't take it seriously. Reba stood up immediately and gave up her chair,"Grandpa Zheng, sit down."" The old man did not sit down in a hurry, but carefully admired the copied clay murals. "Did you draw this?"The old man looked at Gu Lin in surprise. Gu Lin nodded,"Yes. The old man clicked his tongue and said in amazement:"The painter is very good, and it actually has a bit of the style of Dunhuang murals." Have you studied Dunhuang murals before?" "I haven’t studied it, I just followed the drawing."Gu Lin told the truth. The old man nodded slightly,"Not bad, not bad." "Old man, I haven’t asked you what your name is yet? Gu Lin asked, moving a chair over. "Zheng Taihe." The old man sat down. Gu Lin pulled up another chair and sat across from him,"I heard from your grandson that you have been working in Mogao Grottoes for sixty-six years? Zheng Taihe pinched his fingers and calculated,"It has been so many years."" "Grandpa Zheng, can you tell us your story? Reba asked. Zheng Taihe shook his head and said,"There's nothing to talk about. It's not worth mentioning." Gu Lin immediately changed his question:"Old man, you have been doing the same thing for sixty-six years, isn't it boring?"
Zheng Taihe smiled heartily,"It's not boring!" How could it be boring? These are the treasures our ancestors spent so much effort to leave us." "As long as I can fix it, it will live another two years. Reba asked again:"Was your previous job very difficult?"" Zheng Taihe replied:"Of course it was difficult. At that time, Mogao Grottoes was still the Gobi Desert and it was deserted."....，. "I was very sad at the time. Our country’s cultural relics need foreigners to preserve them." "So I made up my mind to develop the repair technology even if I had to use earth methods. Reba immediately praised:"Grandpa Zheng, you are so awesome!" Zheng Taihe laughed and said,"I don't know if it's powerful or not." Anyway, what I do is worthy of my ancestors and my descendants. Gu Lin gave a thumbs up,"I admire you!"" ——【I just searched Baidu. Mr. Zheng Taihe restored more than 4,000 square meters of murals in his life.】 ——【Doing only one thing in your life is so admirable】 ——【I hope that the old man will live long and pass on the concept of protecting cultural relics to the next generation.】 ——【This is a person of faith!】 ——【Pay tribute to the unknown older generation of workers!】 …… "Old man, there are more and more young people engaged in this industry now. You don't have to come to the front line every day. Give yourself a proper holiday. Gu Lin said. He still remembered that Reba asked him to persuade her before.���Advise Zheng Taihe. Zheng Taihe shook his head and smiled:"No, I can't trust you young people." Gu Lin smiled and said:"Then let's make a bet?" Zheng Taihe was stunned,"What bet?" "If I can learn how to restore murals, you can retire and recuperate, and leave this business to young people with peace of mind." Gu Lin said. Zheng Taihe laughed,"Young man, this is not a day's work. Even if you say you have learned it, I would not dare to experiment with this thousand-year-old mural on you." At this time, Zheng Xiaoyang came over. To be precise, he was always nearby. He just didn't come to disturb the three people's chat. He also hoped that Gu Lin could persuade his stubborn grandfather. "Grandpa, there is a way to fulfill your bet." Zheng Xiaoyang said
"What can I do? Gu Lin asked immediately. Zheng Xiaoyang said:"There is a national cultural relics industry professional competition in Dunhuang recently. Mr. Gu can participate and try the nine.""
