Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Rationalization of small tin tubes

Harvesting of apples and pears continued the next day.A third car appeared on the streets of the city—Screw's eight-wheeled steam car. It turned out that Kite City found that the bagels were missing.Residents knew that he drove a car to deliver small screws and chisels to Greentown.As the bagels did not come back, they begged Bolt to come and see if there was any misfortune.Small screw came to Greentown, he saw that the bagel was driving a car to harvest fruit, he couldn't help but join in. The residents of Kite City waited for him until evening, but he did not come back the next day.All sorts of unbelievable rumors were spreading in the city.Some people say that the old hag who eats whoever she sees makes her home on the road leading to Greentown.Some people say that it is not an old witch, but an immortal old man.Some people argue and prove that the old man is not immortal, that he is a three-headed dragon, and that he is not on the main road, but has settled down in the green city.The dragon eats a girl every day, and if a boy comes to town, he eats a boy, because boys are better than girls.

Since the legend about the three-headed dragon appeared, none of the residents of Kite City dared to go to the girl's city to inquire about the situation there.Soon, a bold one came, and he said he would go and find out everything.This is not the famous little nail - he has been mentioned in this true story.The residents know that Little Nail is a person who doesn't care about anything, and he might just go right into the mouth of the gluttonous dragon.Everyone advised him not to go, but he didn't even want to listen.He said that he was very sorry for the girls, and now he was tortured by his conscience.So he planned to go to their city to make amends—spit on the tail of the three-headed dragon, and the dragon would die and stop doing evil.Where did Little Nail hear that the three-headed dragon would die because of this--I don't know.

The little nail is gone.Some residents felt sorry for him, so they mourned in advance.Some said that there was no need to be particularly sympathetic to him, because when he died, there would be one less hooligan and the city would be quieter. "We have it ourselves, too, because we couldn't reform him." The former type of people said so. "Reform him!" said the latter, "only the grave can reform him." From the conversation, it can be seen that the former type of person is the person whom the little nail has not had time to offend; the latter type of person is the person he has already offended enough to look at.

Just as people had predicted, the little nail didn't come back, and everyone in the city believed the dragon's rumors.People have the most bizarre stories about this dragon.Everyone who told the story added a head to the dragon, so gradually, the three-headed dragon became a hundred-headed dragon. All of this is of course made up.Some of the smartest readers have probably guessed why the little nail didn't come back; for those readers who haven't guessed to a point, you can tell them that the little nail wasn't swallowed by the dragon at all, because no one swallowed the dragon. , and there are no dragons at all.Little Nail is just attracted by labor.He also developed a desire to climb trees and work with a saw.You know, it's both fun and dangerous.What boy would back off from danger?

These days, Xiao Tin Guan is the only one who stays at home and paints portraits.Every girl wanted a portrait, and they tortured the little tin pipe to death.Everyone has to be the most beautiful.The little tin pipe explained that everyone has their own beauty, and small eyes may be beautiful, but it is a waste of effort.no!All girls require that the eyes must be big, the eyelashes must be long, the eyebrows must be curved, and the mouth must be small.The little tin pipe finally stopped arguing, but drew according to their requirements.This is much more convenient, because it does not cause unnecessary quarrels, and the little tin pipe also found that it can be rationalized in the matter of portraits.Because everyone asked for the same drawing, Xiao Tin Guan decided to make a so-called leaky stencil.He found a piece of thick cardboard, and carved a pair of big eyes, long curved eyebrows, a straight and beautiful little nose, small lips, a chin with a small pit, and a straight and straight neck on each side. Small ears.It is engraved with a shaggy hairstyle, and below it is a thin neck and two small hands with long fingers.After preparing such a pattern, he started copying.

What is photocopying? Everyone will immediately understand that.He put the stencil on a piece of paper and painted red where the lips were engraved on the stencil.Immediately, the pattern of lips appeared on the paper.Then paint the nose, ears, hands, dark or light hair, and brown or sky blue eyes with flesh tones.This will make a copy. The small tin tube made copies of several such portraits.If the girl has blue eyes and light hair, he will take a photocopy of blue eyes and light hair, add a few strokes to make it more or less like himself, and the portrait is finished.If a girl has black eyes and black hair, there are photocopied pictures on the small tin tube.

This kind of stereotyped portrait has been painted countless by the small tin tube.This improvement greatly accelerated the progress of the work.The little tin pipe also considered that any dwarf could make a copy according to the template made by an experienced painter, so he absorbed the little possibility to do this work.Xiao Mayu copied the template smoothly with the required colors, and the photocopied portrait was no worse than the photocopied by Xiao Tin Guan himself.This division of labor between the small tin pipe and the small possibility made the work progress even faster.This is significant because the number of people wanting to get a painting is not only not decreasing, but increasing every day.

Little May is very proud of his new job.When talking about the small tin pipe and himself, he always proudly said: "We are painters".However, Xiao Tin Guan was dissatisfied with his work, and for some reason he called it perfunctory.He said that among all the portraits he painted in Greentown, only the portraits of Little Snowflake and Blue Eyes are considered real works of art, and the other portraits are only suitable for covering pots and pans. However, the people who got the portrait disagreed with this opinion.Everyone likes to be painted beautifully. As for whether they look like or not, they say it doesn't matter.It's okay to have a different opinion on everything.
