"Oh, by the way, Brother Xu, I almost forgot to tell you that I seemed to see Dong Yuxin in Chinatown yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, I no longer saw anyone. I searched for a long time but couldn't find it again." Jiang Lili suddenly said in the taxi.

"Is that true?" Ge Dongxu was slightly stunned when he heard this. Feng Chen's past for many years couldn't help but come to his mind, but soon Ge Dongxu smiled and stopped recalling it.

Everyone has a stage of youthful growth, and Ge Dongxu is no exception.

But later, when Dong Yuxin got distant from him, she didn't tell him about the move. Even later, he specially made talismans for the college entrance examination of the three of them, and insulted them to come to the Taoist temple to help them. As a result, Su Qian of the three directly kneaded the talismans into a ball and threw them away, and joked about Ge Dongxu's superstition. Although Dong Yuxin did not make it obvious that he was superstitious, she obviously agreed with Su Qian's words and gave the talismans to Jiang Lili.

In fact, from that day on, Ge Dongxu and her had no fate.

Later, Dong Yuxin went to the United States, and Ge Dongxu learned the news from Su Qian.

After this incident, Ge Dongxu rarely thinks of Dong Yuxin again. Even if he thinks about it occasionally, he will soon not recall it again.

Now that so many years have passed, he has experienced so many storms and waves, and his life and death training, he will only cherish the people who are truly worthy of him. If Jiang Lili doesn't mention it this time, he will forget that Dong Yuxin is in the United States.

"Yes, I remember that year..." Jiang Lili said as she looked at Ge Dongxu carefully.

"Haha, it's all over. But you were good sisters before. If you really want to find her, I can still help you." Ge Dongxu said, and he naturally understood what Jiang Lili meant.

"Is it OK? Communication was not as convenient as it is now, so we broke off contact soon after she went to the United States. After so many years, things have changed. In fact, it is impossible to find the close relationship I used to be. But I haven't seen each other for so many years, and I always want to know how she has been doing over the years and how is her life now? If everything is well, I will be a matter of worry." Jiang Lili said, with a hint of recollection in her eyes.

"That's true. OK. After you talk to the boxwood carving master, I will ask Fang Kunquan for help. He is considered a local snake. I think as long as Dong Yuxin lives in San Francisco, he should be able to inquire." Ge Dongxu nodded and said.

"Brother Xu, will this make you owe others favors?" Jiang Lili hesitated and asked.

"Haha, actually I want to know how Dong Yuxin is doing? No matter what, I have had a friendship before. As for favors, it is just a small favor, which is not a problem. Moreover, Senior Brother Yang, who you have never met before, is said to be an elder with a high level in the Hongmen, and he has also been kind to the Hongmen. Fang Kun is all from the Hongmen. As a fellow junior brother of Senior Brother Yang, I am not a big deal at all." Ge Dongxu replied.

"That's good." Jiang Lili said happily when she heard this.

Chinatown is not far from the hotel they stayed at. While they were talking, a taxi arrived at Chinatown.

Boxwood carving is one of the traditional folk carving arts in Jiangnan and is included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

The main material of boxwood carving is boxwood. Boxwood is a short evergreen shrub with slow growth. There is a saying that "boxwood is difficult to grow for a thousand years". There are even records: "boxwood is difficult to grow in nature, only one inch in a year, but it retreats when it encounters leap years." This means that boxwood will retreat and shorten when it encounters leap years. This shows how slow the boxwood grows. Therefore, boxwood generally needs to grow for four or fifty years before it can be used for carving, and it is only suitable for carving small figures for table appreciation. Large pieces are extremely rare.

The birthplace and most famous place of boxwood carving is Ouzhou City.

The boxwood carving that Jiang Lili visited was surnamed Zhu, and her ancestral home was Ouzhou City. When she was a teenager, she traveled across the ocean to San Francisco with her parents.

His father was a well-known boxwood carving master in the local folk. After arriving in San Francisco, he made a living with this craft. Master Zhu had the talent for wood carving since childhood. He not only inherited his father's craftsmanship but also promoted it. He became a recognized boxwood carving master in the Chinese American circle very early on.

Many people traveled thousands of miles to ask for a work of him. However, Master Zhu is old now and basically no longer works by himself, so his works are hard to find.

Master Zhu’s boxwood carving store is in an inconspicuous place in a corner of Chinatown.

However, as soon as Ge Dongxu entered, he could feel a simple aura coming to his face, and there was also a very light fragrance lingering in the air, making people feel refreshed.

In addition to these, there are a wide range of boxwood carvings, each of which is very exquisite.

In addition to these boxwood carvings, there are also several clerks and an old man wearing white Tang suits and a simple and elegant temperament.

"Xiao Jiang, you are here." When the old man saw Jiang Lili coming in, he stood up with a crutch and said with a kind smile on his face.

While talking, the old man looked at Ge Dongxu with curious eyes.

"Sorry, Grandpa Zhu, I've let you wait for a long time. This is Ge Dongxu, my boyfriend." Jiang Lili hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"The eyes are bright, the forehead is wide, the waist is straight, and the spirit of righteousness is a good man worthy of entrusting." The old man looked at Ge Dongxu deeply and nodded.

"It turns out that Grandpa Zhu can also look at the face in addition to carving!" Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"Haha, I have not studied physiognomy specifically, but everything is connected." The old man smiled.

"Indeed, it is not difficult for people with skilled craftsmanship to carve a beautiful wood carving, but to give it charm, you need to see the inner essence through the appearance." Ge Dongxu was slightly stunned, and then he understood the meaning of the old man's words.

"Haha, not bad, not bad, young people have a high understanding!" The old man couldn't help but admire Ge Dongxu at once.

Seeing the old man admired him, Ge Dongxu was secretly amused and laughed. He was a god-level figure. If he couldn't figure out this truth, how could he have cultivated to this level today?

Of course, Ge Dongxu naturally would not say this.

Because Ge Dongxu was very fond of the old man and the fellow villager, the old man greeted the two in the store for a few words and then enthusiastically led them into the inner room.

After entering the inner room, the host and the host took a seat and served tea, the old man began to tell Jiang Lili about his deeds.

This was an appointment between the two yesterday, but the old man didn’t have time yesterday, so he changed it to this day.

When it comes to bitterness and emotion, the old man will shed a few tears, which makes Ge Dongxu feel a little sad. He deeply feels how difficult it was for those people to travel across the ocean and travel to foreign lands.

"Master, Mr. Zheng and Miss Dong are here." While the old man was speaking, a middle-aged man came in and whispered to the old man.
