I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 112 The Fading Heritage
"Ah, why didn't I hear it?"

"For someone like you, once you're immersed in your work, you can't extricate yourself. That noise isn't that loud, it's a wonder you could hear it."

"Okay, stop talking so much and come out quickly. Can't you see everyone is outside?"

When the woman went out, she saw that the small roads in the town were indeed full of people. Her face changed and she hurriedly prepared to go in again.

"What are you going to do again?"

Seeing this, the man shouted anxiously.

"I carried out the unfinished things in the room."

"My dear, it's such a critical moment, and you're still worrying about that. Maybe an earthquake is going to happen soon!"

The woman didn't answer and walked quickly into the house.

"Oh, I'm really impressed by you!"

He gritted his teeth and hurried to catch up.

At this time, I definitely don't feel comfortable letting a woman go in and move the things by herself. Not only will it be slow, but I'm also afraid something might happen.

With the combined efforts of the two, it didn't take long for them to be carried out of the yard.

Seeing that the young man was about to go in to move the things, the woman stopped him.

"Forget about the camera equipment. We'll just buy new ones if they get damaged."

"But those cost tens of thousands!"

"It's okay. The filming process has been uploaded to the computer anyway."

The man didn't insist after hearing that. The two of them moved a little further away from the house and waited in front of a stall.

At this time, there were more and more people on the street, and many elderly people didn’t even know what was happening.

"By the way, where's Mr. Hai?"

"Don't worry, I took him to a safe place before I left."

"Ah That's good!"

The two were chatting intermittently when an old man with gray hair walked over.

"Sixth son, Qingyue."

Seeing the person coming, Qingyue hurried over and held one of the old man's arms.

"Teacher Hai."

"Master, didn't I tell you to stay there? Why did you come out alone? It's so dangerous!"

Liuzi's tone was a little complaining.

"You little brat, do I need you to teach me? There's been no movement for ages. I guess it's not an earthquake. You young people just like to make a fuss."

Having said that, few people on the road actually return home.

In this kind of situation, it's better to be safe than sorry. There's nothing wrong in waiting a little longer.

However, the expressions on everyone's faces did look much better. They talked and laughed with each other, and were no longer as worried as they were at the beginning.

Shazhou is an area with many mountains, and earthquakes do occur occasionally.

But in general, only slight tremors are felt and everyone is used to it.

It is indeed rare to hear the roaring sound so clearly today.

That's why the crowd was so nervous at the beginning, fearing that a big earthquake was coming.

Fortunately, after the roar disappeared, there was no more movement and everything returned to normal.

I guess if nothing happens in another hour, the people outside the town will go home and sleep.

"Qingyue, is this what you've been working on recently? I heard from Liuzi that you've been working on this for more than half a month!"

"Well, the clothes are almost done. All that's left is to paint them and let them dry. As for the hairpins, they're a bit more laborious."

"Teacher Hai, I've been planning to ask you to forge a model for me these days."

The old man glanced at his apprentice.

"Why, Liuzi can't do it well?"

Qingyue smiled and said, "Sixth Brother has been busy lately, so I won't bother him with this." "Also, some hairpins are more delicate in structure, so you'll have to do it for me."

Hearing this, Liuzi's face was filled with embarrassment.

It's true that he's a bit busy, but not so busy that he doesn't have time to help with training. It's just that his skills are not good enough yet.

This kind of delicate craft is not something that someone like him who has only learned for a few years can do.

A truly luxurious hairpin has many extremely delicate mechanisms, and only a master craftsman with decades of experience can make it.

This craft has been passed down from ancient times. Master Hai's ancestors were craftsmen who specialized in forging for dignitaries. It has been passed down to him for thousands of years, and the craft is absolutely impeccable.

However, with the development of the times, this craft is gradually lost. By this generation, they are the only one in their family who still knows this craft.

But his son was not interested in this and went to a big city to make a living early.

The old man also understood that in today's highly developed mechanization era, fewer and fewer people are willing to do this, and even fewer people are paying attention to it. In the end, he did not force his son to learn it.

In the face of the tide of the times, many crafts and cultures inherited from ancient times are gradually disappearing, which is inevitable.

But Master Hai was unwilling to see his craft lost in his generation, so he found an apprentice, hoping to continue the tradition.

Fortunately, Liuzi was also interested in this craft and studied it seriously, which made Master Hai very satisfied.

"Oh? Liuzi can't do it. Fine, bring it to me in a couple of days!"

When the old man heard Qingyue's words, he knew that his apprentice's level was not up to standard.

"Okay, I'll give it to you after I draw the blueprint."

A sweet smile appeared on Qingyue's face.

"But let me make this clear first, don't film me when you're filming. I'm not interested in this!"

Qingyue's smile froze, and her bright eyes looked vaguely at Liuzi beside her.

Feeling the gazes, Liuzi naturally knew what she meant.

He wanted to refuse, but when he saw the smiling face opposite him and the white teeth shining, he finally compromised.

"Master, your ideas are too outdated."

"Times have changed. Aren't you always worried about your craft being lost? This is a great opportunity, Exiled Immortal."

"Do you think if we make a video and send it out, more people will see it?"

"Although we have just started posting videos and not many people are watching them, we are sure that more people will watch them in the future, and there will definitely be many people who are interested and willing to learn more."

"By then, will you still worry about the loss of your craft? Perhaps our industry can still flourish."

Liuzi slowly described a bright future to his master.

But the old man didn't buy it, as his apprentice had told him about this idea before.

"Come on, I'd say your video is a waste of time. There aren't any young people who would want to watch this these days. Do you think I, an old man, don't understand?"

"I have a cell phone too. The last video you posted was only seen by a few hundred people. If you film an old man like me, I guess even fewer people will watch it."

"Master, I think you are shy in front of the camera, right?"

Master Hai's face turned red and he took off his shoes and was about to hit him.

"Don't run, you little brat! I'll teach you a lesson about speaking without respect."

Liuzi ran while looking at Qingyue and spread his hands, his meaning was very clear.

You see, I said this old man would never agree, he is so thin-skinned!

Qingyue covered her mouth and laughed secretly, and only spoke after the old man stopped panting.

"Teacher Hai, although our first video only had a few hundred views, there are still many people interested in it."

"We won't shoot a lot of footage. We'll just briefly film your production process and then introduce it at the end."

"Having professionals like you go abroad will definitely play a good role in publicity."

"My original intention in making the video was to promote these cultures or crafts that are about to be lost, and having you appear in the video is also for better promotion."

"We don't know what the outcome will be, but at least we tried. You wouldn't want this craft to be completely lost by the time it reaches Sixth Brother, right?"
