On July 22, a TV series called "Carpenter's Curious Story" was quietly launched on a number of genuine video platforms. Why is it quietly launched? Because of this TV series, not only did there be no publicity, but the online platform did not recommend this TV series layout. Many platforms have to be searched to see the show. Generally speaking, the quality of TV dramas with this kind of treatment is average.
However, after two episodes of chasing the drama, I feel that the narrative angle of this "Carpenter's Curious Story" is still quite interesting, and it is still worth recommending to everyone. At present, the two episodes of the show are at the beginning, and the suspense story has not been officially told, but the characteristics of the characters have been implemented. In these two episodes, there are also two interesting stories.
The first story is that the young lady of a large family was deceived of money and sex. This story is passed by in "The Carpenter's Curious". However, this story is something that often happened during the Republic of China. In the play, a large family has money stolen. After verification, it was found that the money was stolen by his own family, and finally fell into the hands of the eldest lady of this family.
Why did the eldest lady steal all this money? Because she was threatened. How is it threatened? The young lady fell in love freely with a handsome man outside, and then had a relationship. After having a relationship, the handsome man, together with his gang of crimes, began to threaten the eldest lady in order to squeeze money. This story, although it is lightly mentioned in "The Curious Story of the Carpenter", has the authenticity of the year. We have something similar at the moment.
The second story is that the carpenter played by Laixi comes to fight fakes. That's why I think this TV series is worth introducing to everyone. It is said that after the young lady of this big family was deceived to get money, she hit a ghost by the well water in her backyard. This large family is also haunted by evil spirits. Legend has it that when this big family was decorating the house, it was done by a carpenter, and he "pressed the array". Large families have started to invite some "professionals" to do it.
How do "professionals" reflect their professionalism? The first is to draw a talisman, which is obviously made of yellow paper, and then after that, ashes will be generated, but on the talisman drawn by professionals, after burning, there is no ash. There are no ashes after the yellow paper is burned, which does not seem to conform to the principles of modern physical chemistry. But who knows, the carpenter who cracked down on counterfeiting came and explained to everyone why after burning these talismans, they did not form ashes. I'm here, no spoilers.
The second trick of the "professionals" to show their power is to pour chicken or dog blood into the bowl, and then insert incense into the bowl. Under normal circumstances, whether it is chicken blood or dog blood, they are liquid, and they definitely can't stick the incense. However, with this group of practitioners, these are achievable. The carpenter came out to fight fakes again, and it turned out that this incense insertion technique also had a small trick. I still won't spoil it.
In addition, the "professionals" put the red cloth on the ground, pressed the tiles on the four corners, and the red cloth was able to hold itself up. Therefore, the "professionals" informed the Lord that it was a demon. And after the carpenter appeared, he used his professional carpenter knowledge to decipher this deception.
The most interesting thing is that the above three deceptions, when the carpenter decrypted, are indeed practical, not made up. Many of our suspenseful reasoning TV series works, for the sake of bizarreness, are easy to make up nonsense, and when they can't justify themselves in the end, they say that they are fantasy content. "Carpenter's Oddities" is not doing so at the moment. Although it also focuses on detective content, it has some meaning of "strange things in the Tang Dynasty", but it implements these suspenseful stories to explain in reality.
Based on the above, I think this "Carpenter's Curious Story" can continue to be observed. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
