The carpenter's betrayal
In the distant water town of Jiangnan, there is a story about a carpenter and a woman. The story takes place in a quiet village called Yangliu Village, where the houses are quaint and elegant, and the rivers crisscross it, like a flowing ink painting.
There is a carpenter named Lu Chen in the village, who is highly skilled and withdrawn, and is always busy alone in the dilapidated carpentry workshop. Lu Chen's craftsmanship is well-known, whether it is delicate carved doors and windows, or stable and durable furniture, he can easily come to it. However, his withdrawn personality left him with few friends, and the villagers admired and feared him.
At the other end of Yangliu Village, there lived a young woman named Xiaoya. She has a beautiful appearance and a gentle personality, and is deeply loved by the villagers. Xiaoya's family is poor, but she is smart and capable, and she relies on her own hands to make a living. Although her life is hard, she is always full of optimism and hope.
Xiao Ya and Lu Chen were originally people from two worlds, and their lives hardly intersected. However, fate unexpectedly led them to meet.
It was a sunny afternoon, and Xiaoya was washing clothes by the river when she suddenly heard a scream. She looked up and saw a ferocious wild dog pounced on a child. Xiaoya threw down the clothes in her hand without hesitation and rushed forward to save the child. And that child is Lu Chen's nephew Xiaojie.
Xiaojie's parents died early and have been taken care of by Lu Chen. This time he sneaked out of the house to play, but he didn't expect to encounter danger. Xiaoya's appearance saved him. After Lu Chen learned about this, his heart was full of gratitude to Xiaoya. He personally visited Xiaoya, expressed his gratitude to Xiaoya, and invited her to his home.
Xiao Ya didn't want to disturb Lu Chen's purity, but it was difficult to resist, so she had to agree. In Lu Chen's home, she saw many exquisite wood carvings, and she couldn't help but admire them. And Lu Chen was also attracted by Xiaoya's gentleness and kindness, and the two began to interact frequently.
As time passed, the relationship between Xiaoya and Lu Chen gradually warmed up. They walked together in the fields of Yangliu Village, enjoyed the sunset by the river together, and shared each other's joys, sorrows and sorrows. Xiao Ya felt that although Lu Chen was indifferent on the outside, he was full of gentleness and kindness inside. And Lu Chen was also moved by Xiaoya's optimism and strength, and he felt as if he had found the other half of his life.
However, just as the relationship between the two was getting deeper, a sudden change broke the tranquility.
One night, Xiaoya suddenly received a letter from afar. The letter stated that her father was seriously ill and needed her to return home for a visit. Xiaoya was so anxious that she immediately packed her luggage and prepared to leave. She found Lu Chen, told him the news, and asked him to help take care of Xiaojie for a while. Lu Chen agreed to her request without hesitation and promised to take good care of Xiaojie.
Soon after Xiaoya left, Lu Chen received a mysterious letter from afar. The letter said that his father had left a large inheritance on his deathbed, but that he needed to complete a task to inherit. The mission is to enter an abandoned mansion in the village on a particular night in search of a treasure.
Lu Chen hesitated. He knew that the old mansion had a long history, and it was said that many strange things had happened. But thinking that his father's legacy would improve their lives, he decided to take a risk. He told Xiaojie about this decision and told him not to tell anyone.
However, Xiaojie inadvertently leaked the news to Xiaoya's friend Xiaofang. Xiao Fang is a smart and clever girl, and she has always been skeptical about the relationship between Xiao Ya and Lu Chen. She felt that Lu Chen approached Xiaoya for a purpose, so she decided to investigate the matter secretly.
On a stormy night, Lu Chen followed the instructions in the letter to the abandoned ancient mansion. Soon after he entered the ancient mansion, he encountered a series of strange things: the lights in the ancient mansion flickered on and off, and the doors and windows opened and closed automatically without wind, as if something was peeping at him in the dark. Although Lu Chen was scared in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and persevered. He searched everywhere for the treasure, but never found it. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly heard a woman's cry. He followed the sound and found a secret room with a haggard face sitting in a secret room, which was Xiaoya's mother!
It turned out that Xiaoya's mother was seriously ill because she missed her daughter, and left a last wish before she died: she hoped that someone would find the treasure she left behind and give it to Xiaoya as a dowry. This treasure is a priceless jade carved phoenix. After Lu Chen learned the truth, he felt mixed feelings in his heart, he felt sorry for what happened to Xiaoya, and he was ashamed of his previous suspicions. He decided to give up looking for the treasure and instead tell Xiaoya the truth and let her decide for herself whether to accept the dowry or not.
When Xiaoya received Lu Chen's letter, she was taking care of her seriously ill father at home. After reading the letter, she was both moved and shocked in her heart, she didn't expect Lu Chen to give up such a huge temptation for her. She decided to return to Yangliu Village immediately to face the challenges ahead with Lu Chen.
However, when Xiaoya returned to Yangliu Village, she found that things had changed drastically......
(The first half of the story ends, and the second half will reveal the changes that Xiaoya encountered after returning to Yangliu Village, as well as the development of the relationship between her and Lu Chen.) When Xiaoya stepped into Yangliu Village again, her mood was extremely complicated. She is looking forward to the joy of reunion, but also faintly worried about the unknown changes. The village is still peaceful, but there seems to be an indescribable atmosphere, as if some secret is about to be revealed.
Xiaoya went straight to Lu Chen's carpentry workshop, only to find that it was empty. Her heart tightened, could it be that Lu Chen really betrayed her? But she quickly dismissed the idea, Lu Chen was not the kind of person who would give up easily. She decided to go to Xiaojie first, maybe he could find something.
When Xiaojie saw Xiaoya, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he became a little dodgy. Xiao Ya was keenly aware of the change in him and gently asked him what was going on. Xiao Jie said a few words, but he still refused to reveal too much. Xiao Ya was even more worried in her heart, and she decided to go to Lu Chen in person to ask for clarification.
She followed the familiar path and came to Lu Chen's home. The door was hidden, Xiaoya gently pushed it open, and walked in. The room was a mess, apparently someone had left in a hurry. Xiaoya's heart sank to the bottom, and she felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a faint moan. She followed the sound and found Lu Chen lying on the bed, his face pale, and cold sweat oozing from his forehead. Xiao Ya's heart tightened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to ask about his situation.
When Lu Chen saw Xiao Ya, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. He struggled to sit up and told Xiaoya about his entry into the ancient mansion. He said that he did find the jade phoenix left by Xiaoya's mother, but just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly attacked. A mysterious man in black appears, snatches the jade phoenix, and severely injures him.
Xiaoya was shocked when she heard this, she didn't expect things to develop to this point. She held Lu Chen's hand tightly, her eyes full of determination and determination. She told Lu Chen that no matter what happened, she would face it with him. She believes that as long as they work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
Lu Chen was deeply moved by Xiao Ya's words, and he felt the warmth and strength that he had never felt before. He decided to let go of the fear and hesitation in his heart and uncover the veil of this secret with Xiaoya.
They first found Xiao Fang and asked her about the mysterious letter and the man in black. Although Xiao Fang was a little surprised by what they found, she still told them everything she knew. She said that the man in black often appeared near the ancient mansion and had a strange whereabouts, most likely a tomb robber. The mysterious letter was given to her by a stranger, and she didn't know who it was.
After hearing this, Xiao Ya and Lu Chen were even more puzzled, but they also found a possible clue. They decided to go to the mansion and see if they could find any clues about the man in black.
As night fell, Xiao Ya and Lu Chen quietly came to the ancient mansion. They cautiously entered the house, only to find it empty. They searched everywhere but found nothing. Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a slight noise.
They followed the sound and found a secret room. The secret room is brightly lit and displays a variety of precious artifacts and jewelry. And the man in black was standing in front of a huge jade carving, carefully examining it. Seeing this, Xiao Ya and Lu Chen immediately rushed forward to recapture the jade carving phoenix.
However, the man in black was agile and easily dodged their attacks. He sneered and said, "You two little guys dare to come and rob me of things, I really don't know whether to live or die!" As he spoke, he raised his fist and attacked Xiao Ya and Lu Chen.
Although Xiao Ya and Lu Chen are extraordinary, they still seem a little difficult to face this mysterious man in black. They fought the Man in Black for dozens of rounds with all their might, but they were never able to subdue him.
Just as they were about to lose, a group of villagers suddenly rushed in from outside. It turned out that Xiaofang was worried about the safety of Xiaoya and Lu Chen, so she quietly told the villagers about the incident and asked them to come to help.
Seeing this, the villagers immediately joined the battle and engaged in a fierce confrontation with the men in black. After a fierce battle, the villagers finally subdued the man in black and recaptured the jade carved phoenix.
Xiao Ya and Lu Chen looked at the villagers gratefully, and their hearts were full of gratitude and respect. They knew that they would not be able to defeat this formidable enemy without the help of the villagers.
It finally came to light that the man in black was a greedy tomb robber who had been looking for an opportunity to steal artifacts and jewels from the ancient mansion. The mysterious letter was a hoax in order to lure Lu Chen into the ancient mansion and create opportunities for him.
Xiao Ya and Lu Chen decided to hand over the jade carved phoenix to the local cultural relics department for protection, so that it would become a valuable asset of Yangliu Village. Through this incident, they have learned more about the importance of solidarity and cooperation.
Since then, Xiaoya and Lu Chen have worked hand in hand to face the challenges and difficulties in life together. They created a bright future with their own hands and became the most enviable couple in Yangliu Village.
And the greedy grave robber was duly punished and sent to prison. He finally understood a truth: greed and lust only lead to destruction, and sincerity and kindness are the only way to happiness.
This story spread in Yangliu Village and became a topic of conversation among the villagers after tea and dinner. It has made people understand a truth: in the face of difficulties and challenges, we should maintain the spirit of unity and cooperation, and jointly face difficulties and overcome challenges. At the same time, we should also maintain a kind and sincere heart and use our hands to create a better future. With the safety of the jade phoenix, Yangliu Village has returned to its former tranquility. Xiao Ya and Lu Chen stood side by side at the entrance of the village, looking at the sunset in the distance, but their hearts were surging with indescribable emotion.
Lu Chen took a deep breath, and a determined light flashed in his eyes: "Xiaoya, this incident has made me understand a lot. I almost lost you because of greed and curiosity. From now on, I will cherish our relationship even more and no longer let any external temptations interfere with our decisions. ”
Xiao Ya gently held Lu Chen's hand, tears flashing in her eyes: "I believe in you, Lu Chen." We've been through so much together, and I believe our feelings are more precious than any treasure. As long as we are heart-to-heart, nothing can stop us from moving forward. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if all their worries had vanished. They decided to go back to the carpentry workshop together and start their lives all over again. And this time, they will cherish each other even more, and they will also cherish this hard-won peace and happiness even more.
However, life is always full of surprises and surprises. Just as they were about to start over, a mysterious man found them. This person claimed to be an old friend of Lu Chen's father, named Mr. Li. He brought a shocking news: it turned out that Lu Chen's father was not an ordinary carpenter, but a craftsman with unique skills, and his skills could even touch some supernatural realms.
Mr. Li told Lu Chen that his father left an important will before his death: he hoped that Lu Chen would inherit his mantle and pass on the craft. And the jade carving phoenix is the key to opening this inheritance.
Lu Chen was shocked when he heard this, he never thought that his father would have such an extraordinary background. He felt both pride and uneasiness in his heart. He didn't know if he would be able to take on the task, or what challenges and opportunities the legacy would bring to them.
Xiao Ya saw Lu Chen's hesitation and uneasiness, she gently held his hand and gave him firm support: "Lu Chen, I believe you will be able to do a good job." You have extraordinary craftsmanship and tenacity, and you will be able to fulfill your father's last wish. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will be by your side and face them together. ”
Lu Chen was deeply moved by Xiao Ya's words, and he felt the strength and courage he had never had before. He decided to take on the challenge and pass on his father's mantle.
Under Mr. Li's guidance, Lu Chen began to contact and learn those supernatural skills. He discovered that he had an amazing talent and comprehension for these techniques, and was soon able to grasp the essence of them. He began experimenting with applying these techniques to his own wood carvings, creating stunning works of art.
However, with the improvement of his skills, Lu Chen gradually discovered the secret behind this inheritance. It turns out that this inheritance is not only the inheritance of a craft, but also the inheritance of a responsibility and mission. The craftsmen of their vein have been given the mission of guarding some mysterious power. And the jade phoenix is a symbol of this power.
Lu Chen felt a great responsibility, and he knew that he had to work harder to learn and improve his skills in order to be able to fulfill this mission. He began to study and practice day and night, constantly pushing his limits.
In this process, Xiaoya has been by Lu Chen's side, giving him endless support and encouragement. She used her actions to tell Lu Chen: No matter what difficulties and challenges they encounter, as long as they are heart-to-heart, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
However, just as Lu Chen was about to complete his inheritance, an even greater crisis came. An evil force has its sights on the jade carving phoenix and that mysterious power. They sent powerful enemies to snatch the jade carving phoenix, trying to use this power for their own personal gain.
Facing this powerful enemy, both Lu Chen and Xiao Ya felt unprecedented pressure. But instead of backing down, they decided to join forces against this evil force. They used their wisdom and courage to engage in a thrilling contest with the enemy.
After a fierce battle, Lu Chen and Xiao Ya finally defeated the enemy and protected the jade carving phoenix and that mysterious power. They have proved with their actions that as long as they are heart-to-heart and work together, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
After the battle, both Lu Chen and Xiao Ya felt unprecedented fatigue and weakness. But their hearts were filled with joy and pride. They know that they have fulfilled their father's last wish and the legacy of his mission. They have proved their worth and ability with their efforts and courage.
Since then, Lu Chen and Xiaoya have become the most admirable couple in Yangliu Village. They have created a great future with their craftsmanship and wisdom. And the secret of that inheritance has also become an eternal legend in Yangliu Village.
This story spread in Yangliu Village and became a topic of conversation after dinner. It tells people that we should maintain the spirit of unity and cooperation in the face of difficulties and challenges; In the face of temptation and greed, we should remain sober and firm in our faith. Only in this way will we be able to create a better future. After the end of that legendary battle, Yangliu Village returned to its former tranquility, but the air still seemed to be filled with the joy of victory and the smoke of gunpowder that had not dissipated. Lu Chen and Xiaoya sat side by side in front of the carpentry workshop, looking at the sunset gradually setting in the distance, and their hearts were full of expectations and longing for the future.
"Xiaoya, you say, do we really protect that mysterious power?" Lu Chen suddenly spoke, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
Xiao Ya gently leaned on Lu Chen's shoulder, smiled and said, "Of course, we did it." We not only guarded the jade carved phoenix, but also guarded Yangliu Village and our own beliefs. This power has been deeply integrated into our lives. ”
Lu Chen nodded, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knows that all this is inseparable from Xiaoya's companionship and support. Without her, he might have given up long ago and would not have been able to face those difficult challenges. He glanced at Xiaoya deeply, his eyes full of gratitude and love.
In the days that followed, Lu Chen began to focus more on his wood carving skills. Instead of just producing beautiful works of art, he began to experiment with those supernatural elements to create more magical and unique pieces. His craft grew stronger and his fame spread throughout the region.
However, as his fame spread, Lu Chen also encountered more challenges and difficulties. Some began to be jealous of his talent and achievements, and even secretly obstructed his creation. But Lu Chen was not discouraged by this, but strengthened his belief. He knows that only by constantly challenging himself and surpassing himself can he reach a higher level.
In this process, Xiaoya was always by Lu Chen's side. She is not only his partner in life, but also his right-hand man in his career. She used her wisdom and courage to help Lu Chen overcome many difficulties, and also made him more deeply realize the importance of unity and cooperation.
With the passage of time, Lu Chen's works have gradually been recognized and appreciated by more people. His works not only have high artistic value, but also contain a profound cultural connotation and philosophy of life. People began to buy and collect his works in the hope of drawing inspiration and inspiration from them.
However, behind the success, Lu Chen and Xiaoya also paid a huge price. They have put in countless sweat and efforts to protect that mysterious power and fulfill their father's last wish. They gave up many of their personal time and interests, and even risked their lives to fight against those evil forces. But it's all worth it, because they know that true happiness and fulfillment can only be achieved if they truly love their career and pursue their dreams.
In this process, Lu Chen and Xiaoya also gradually realized the true meaning of life. They understand that success doesn't happen overnight, but that it takes countless setbacks and tribulations to achieve. They also understand that true happiness does not come from material satisfaction and enjoyment, but from inner peace and contentment. They began to cherish each other's feelings and affection more, and also paid more attention to the fate of society and mankind.
By chance, Lu Chen and Xiaoya met an elderly wise man. The wise man told them a mystery about life and the universe: every life is a part of the universe and carries the wisdom and power of the universe. True art is not only about pursuing external beauty and skill, but about conveying and expressing this wisdom and power through one's own works.
Lu Chen and Xiaoya were deeply inspired by this, and they began to think more deeply about their own creation and life. They try to connect their works with the universe and life, and convey and express those profound philosophies and insights through wood carving. Their works have gradually become more profound and substantial, and they have won more appreciation and respect.
In the process, Lu Chen and Xiaoya also met many like-minded friends and partners. They exchange creative experiences and life insights together, and pursue a higher realm and deeper wisdom together. They have proved with their own actions that as long as they have dreams and pursuits, they can create their own wonderful life.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Chen and Xiaoya have gone through dozens of spring and autumn seasons. Their carpentry workshop has become a legendary existence, and their works have become cultural treasures of Yangliu Village. And Lu Chen and Xiaoya themselves have become an enviable fairy couple. They have created a better future with their wisdom and courage, and have also interpreted the mysteries of life and the universe with their works and lives.
There is a legend in Yangliu Village: in the ancient carpentry workshop, there lives a fairy couple, who use their wisdom and courage to guard a mysterious power and inheritance. Their stories have inspired generations of Yangliu people to pursue their dreams and beliefs. And Lu Chen and Xiaoya themselves also know that as long as they have dreams and pursuits in their hearts, they can create their own legends and glories.
