The host waved his hand and the two people standing next to him opened the two lids of the table, revealing the two works covered with red silk.

"Everyone must be wondering why Mr. Wen's works appeared on the booth of the Bai family. However, this is one of the biggest highlights of this expo! Mr. Wen's skill is absolutely beyond everyone's expectations! Now let's uncover its mysterious veil!" The host pinched a corner of Wen Kang's silk cloth and pulled it hard!

The red satin poured out like flowing water, gradually revealing an exquisite fifty-centimeter-high solid red sandalwood root carving inside.

It's actually a root carving!

Lu Zian raised his eyebrows and showed a funny smile, which was interesting.

It can be seen that this root sculpture is Wen Kang's pinnacle work.

The entire tree roots are carved into elegant and luxurious, magnificent peony flowers, with the flowers being lifelike. A Ruyi is placed gracefully among the flowers. The superb knife skills fully depict the feeling of Ruyi slightly bent the branches but being held by the petals.

There were low voices sounding from the audience, and many people were ready to think about how much money it would cost to shoot this work.

"Look! This is the "Auspicious and Good Lucky" carefully carved by Mr. Wen! As the saying goes, nine out of ten sandalwood are empty, and there are not many tall red sandalwood like this!" The host was so excited that his voice was a little thrilling: "This carving is particularly rare! The shape of Ruyi is very unique, and it divides the roots into two parts, but it feels like two islands are connected."

He gently touched Ruyi with his fingertips: "This Ruyi appropriately shows the natural curve of the root material. Starting from the whole, without complicating or connecting, the peony and Ruyi complement each other, the structure is clever and the real and intersect properly. It is really a rare and excellent work, do you think it is?"

Many people in the audience replied repeatedly: "Yes!"

Someone else sang: "Don't keep it aside, start shooting!"

The host smiled: "Well, don't worry, of course we still have to follow the old rules and ask Mr. Wen to come up and explain his work."

He bent down slightly and stretched out his hand gracefully: "Next, we invite the creators of the "Auspicious and Good Lucky" root sculpture, Wen Kang and Mr. Wen, to the stage!"

Wen Kang appeared today in a dark blue suit with a leisurely expression. He took the microphone and said generously: "Hello everyone, my exhibition work is "Auspicious". This work has poured into my and my grandfather's efforts for several months. In fact, the origin of this material is also a relatively interesting story..."

He paused, his eyes fixed on Lu Zi'an's face for two seconds, and then he moved away as if nothing had happened: "The story originated several years ago. My father was still young at that time. He met a friend who forgot his age. How good was the relationship between them? It was so good that the man asked my father to go to the tree roots. He went without saying a word, and went thousands of miles to go into the mountain nest to go to the tree roots."

Lu Zian narrowed his eyes and his heartstrings moved. Could it be...

Shen Mange next to him whispered: "Take a tree root? Does it mean to pick a tree root?"

Lu Zian nodded: "Well, some people think that the roots outside are not natural enough, and some branches are destroyed, so they go into the deep mountains and forests to find the roots of the old tree to dig them out."

"Oh..." Shen Mange thought.

Wen Kangzheng on the stage continued: "My father was not very lucky and fell off the cliff. The people who came with him searched for him for several days, but they were not in a life or in a body. They had to return. When the news came back, everyone thought he was dead."

He smiled slightly: "But he was not dead, but he was seriously injured. After being rescued, he injured his head again. He couldn't remember the matter very clearly. He was dizzy and was finally recovered for almost ten years and returned to his hometown."

There were boos in the audience: "We are here to see the exhibition. Who wants to listen to your 8 o'clock romance plot!"

Some people also voiced against it: "Hey, it sounds very miserable. Let's finish talking about it."

The host didn't expect Wen Kang to say this mess, and he winked at Wen Kang, so anxious that his forehead was sweating.

Seeing that Wen Kang was unmoved, he quickly looked backstage and muttered to himself: What's going on with this person? Is there a trick in my mind? I asked him to explain, what did he do if he said that there were all but nothing?

"At that time, my mother had married another and gave birth to a son, but when my father came back, my stepfather had already passed away, so my father hoped to reunite his relationship." Wen Kang was unmoved at all: "But because of the secular ties, they were unable to be together, and they finally chose to die in love... The only gift my parents left to me was this... the rosewood root material that entrusted their most beautiful blessings."

When I heard that I died of love, some people in the audience sighed, and when I heard it with emotion, my eyes turned red in the end.

Wen Kang's expression was still relaxed and leisurely, with no trace of sadness in his eyes, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

He smiled and said, "Root art is a solidified thought and a static life, but this work that embodies my parents' good wishes and hopes is not. It has a soul. I believe it will make the dreams of those who have it come true, just like its name, making you "Good and Good"! Thank you everyone!"

There was a lot of applause from the audience. Although Wenkang turned a little fast, it still fit the theme.

Moreover, as a son, being able to do this is considered to be the most kind and filial. There are not many young people who know how to be grateful today. If his parents leave him to commit suicide, they are considered an irresponsible parent. It is rare for him to think like this.

Even for this, they were willing to give him applause.

Wen Kang bowed gracefully and went down.

The host breathed a sigh of relief and cursed him secretly that he finally came back. He quickly smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Mr. Wen for bringing us such a touching story. Now let's reveal the works of Bai Shuhang and Mr. Bai!"

The red silk swayed. When it landed gently, the strange-shaped root sculpture on the table immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What? I'm playing with us, that's not. It's just a root carving, why do you still have a few tree branches on it? It's funny."

"You guys got it wrong. How could this be the work of the Bai family? Get out of here! Let's get it up!"

"That's right, the scattered love story just now, what should I say?"

There are also real insiders staring at the work and pondering: "I feel this..."

The host's palm was sweating a little, and he quickly shouted: "Just as everyone has seen, yes, our Mr. Bai Shuhang's works are also root sculptures! The name is very poetic and picturesque, called "Waiting for Spring Return"!"

He obviously heard the man's shout just now and smiled and said, "Of course, this is definitely not a branch that is inserted into it. This is really the root of the tree. It was Mr. Bai who used his superb skills to carve it into realistic branches!"

This time no one spoke any further from the audience, and everyone was meditating.

Wait for spring to return.

The host asked Bai Shuhang to come out to explain, and Bai Shuhang strode to the stage: "Hello everyone, I will introduce to you my work "Waiting for Spring Return". This work uses red bean wood, known as "Acacia wood". The red bean wood is not easy to crack and has a pleasant color. I have no paint or waxing. It has its own color."

Many people in the audience nodded secretly, their eyes stuck to the root carving and could not be removed.

Although this work looks simple at first glance, it feels very interesting after careful consideration.
