In the next three days, Qingyu seemed to really devote himself to the study of stone carving.
I train every morning, and go to the old man Yamashita in the afternoon to learn from the experience. If I have the opportunity, I follow other craftsmen on the Hokage Rock and watch with my own eyes how they perform inspections and finishing work. When I get home in the evening, I will carve two stones with my own hands to practice my skills. After all, The dog system has completion requirements, he thought. If he passed the standard, he would have to carve out his own appearance at worst.
As for the addition of a child to the craftsman team, naturally some people came to inquire about it.
At that time, he was really nervous for a while, but fortunately, the old man Yamashita was very helpful. He gave a few simple explanations and dismissed the person casually. This also meant that his appearance was no longer sudden. As long as he did not make any strange behavior, Most people will ignore it even if they see it.
Then he learned from Mr. Yamashita that the day after tomorrow, the finishing work would be completely completed, and then a simple unveiling ceremony would be held. He also learned that there should be many people watching by then.
The right time, the right location, the right people, all at once!
So Qingyu decided not to delay it any longer and use the last two days to complete his death-defying feat!
Late at night.
Aoba carried the tools and stones to the foot of Hokage Rock, then borrowed the equipment left by the craftsmen with ease, and walked on the hanging board to a blank rock wall next to the Yondaime.
After three days of observation, he has determined the best carving position.
As long as you are not unlucky enough to drink cold water with your teeth stuck in it, you should not be discovered in advance, and you will be able to support it until the day of the unveiling ceremony.
So he no longer hesitated, put down the things on his back, took out a chisel and other tools and began to hammer carefully.
Although there were tinkling sounds in the night sky from time to time, first of all, it was far enough away from where the villagers lived, and secondly, he was careful enough when he started knocking, knocking for a while and then stopping for a while. If there was any disturbance, he would stop immediately and be ready at any time. Implement plan B.
In this way, no one would care if the slightest sound was heard occasionally.
And tonight is the celebration banquet for the craftsmen. Most of them are sleeping very hard at this time. In addition, the place where they live is still a certain distance from here. As long as he senses someone coming here, Qingyu will be able to react immediately. .
An hour has passed...
Looking at the gradually carved outline of the rock wall in front of him, Qingyu gradually felt relieved, and the movements of his hands began to speed up, but he never relaxed his vigilance.
It's so exciting to do bad things in such a sneaky way!
Qingyu felt that his adrenaline was soaring and he might pee at any time!
Five hours have passed, and it’s almost dawn!
At the same time, Qingyu also put down the tools in his hands and took a look at his masterpiece with some emotion.
Well, it’s so ugly!
The crooked shape is really eye-catching!
But you can still barely tell that it's a statue of a human being, with a nose and eyes, and that's enough!
And there is no time to modify it, so I can only deal with it like this, hoping to pass it.
Qingyu sighed, then immediately took out the paint and brush he had prepared in advance, and wrote a line of large characters on the statue.
Then without hesitation, he took out a large piece of fabric, quickly applied strong glue to several corners on the back of the piece of fabric, and then stuck it directly to the rock wall, completely covering his masterpiece. .
There is also a long and slender piece of fabric that goes straight down, which can be glued on later to make it easier for him to operate when the time comes.
After doing all this, Qingyu looked at the slightly 'smooth' rock wall in front of him and showed a satisfied look.
You know, in order to paint the fabric with the same color as the Hokage Rock, he was almost kicked out by his boss.
In desperation, he could only choose a financial offensive. He persuaded the store owner at three times the price to help him mix the same color and bought it back.
That's right, the way he figured out to hide it was to cover his statue with a piece of cloth of the same color.
As long as it doesn't rain or a craftsman happens to notice this, there shouldn't be any big problems.
The location he chose was the best location he had observed over the past few days. Almost no one would come here to check out the situation.
It can be said that the risk is minimized!
Everything that can be done has been done now, and the rest will be left to luck.
So Qingyu immediately began to clean up the battlefield. As the saying goes, details determine success or failure. If something is left behind, all the previous efforts will be wasted!
Not only that, he also cleaned up the gravel under the Hokage Rock again, and after repeatedly making sure that nothing was wrong, he returned home exhausted before dawn.
As for the crime tools afterwards, he didn't destroy them either, because they were pointless!
He is the one who wants to make big news at the unveiling ceremony the day after tomorrow. Even the devil will know what he has done by then, so there is no need to cover up, just tell the truth.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
After barely sleeping all morning, Qingyu didn't even bother to eat when he got up, and went straight to the Hokage Rock.
Now that the entire plan is 90% complete, all that remains is not to be discovered during these two days and enough people to arrive on the day of the unveiling.
Although it was just a superficial project, there must have been many people coming to witness this scene that day. There should have been a hundred people.
So what he has to do now is to keep an eye on these craftsmen and prevent them from discovering this 'flaw' on the Hokage Rock...
"It's Qingyu. I told you that the finishing work is boring. I don't know why you insist on suffering with us."
As soon as Qingyu appeared, the craftsmen who were already familiar with his existence greeted him with a smile.
"That is to say, if you have the time to go out for a drink with three or five friends, it will be heaven~"
"Haha, you drunkard, don't bring up the child."
. . . . . .
Qingyu greeted everyone skillfully while following them around to look around like he had done the past few days.
This kind of work only needs to be done once a day. In other words, as long as there are no problems in the routine inspections today and tomorrow, it will be considered a smooth pass.
In fact, as the finishing work has been carried out, the minor problems that can be found have already been discovered and solved.
In the next two days, I probably had the mentality of checking for defects and making up for them, to see if the carved statues had been affected by the weather and had cracked or fallen off.
Generally speaking, such accidents will not occur in works completed by Mr. Yamashita, so everyone behaved very relaxedly.
But just then, an accident happened.
They say they are afraid of something. As a breeze blew by, one of the craftsmen immediately let out a light sigh, and then rubbed his eyes suspiciously that he was dizzy.
Why did that smooth rock wall move just now
