Chapter 54

Qi Yan turned around and saw Xiaobao's uncontrollable smirk.

This child seems to be more and more like the woman inside.I really don't know if it's right to entrust the child to her.

Du Xuan was standing in the kitchen, probably because everyone's kitchen is spacious, and now Du Xuan feels a little uncomfortable in the rather compact kitchen of her own home.

To say it is compact is an euphemism, but it is actually narrow and small.

Du Xuan put two pheasants in the corner of the kitchen. Both pheasants are still alive. She also has a brood of quails and a rabbit in her space. However, the family is really not that short of money now, and there is no need to rely on selling prey. emergency.

Not being able to eat it for a while, Du Xuan had some thoughts in her heart.

She went out from the kitchen, just in time to see Qi Yan put the courtyard door back in place with a click.

"Okay?" Xiaobao stretched out his hand to touch it, and finally touched something familiar again, and laughed, "Daddy is really amazing."

Qi Yan didn't make a sound, put away the tools, and turned his eyes to see Du Xuan standing there, looking at him.

Du Xuan thought for a while, then went up and said, "Qi Yan, do you know how to weave that kind of cage?"

"What kind." Qi Yan looked at her.

Du Xuan thought for a while, and then said, "The kind that can raise rabbits. Xiaobao's rabbit seems to have come back to life. When the leg is healed, it will definitely run away if it is closed."

Qi Yan understood her meaning and nodded, "You can try."

Qi Xiaobao was immediately happy, "Rabbit! Is the little rabbit okay? I didn't even see it when I went to the kitchen."

Du Xuan took the quail and rabbit into the space, of course they couldn't see them.

"I was afraid that someone would come and steal us when we were not at home, so we hid it."

Hearing Du Xuan's words, Qi Xiaobao started blowing rainbow farts, "Mother is still thoughtful!"

Du Xuan glanced at the tools borrowed from Chen Jinniang's house, and then at a large wooden stake standing under the eaves.

Even in the original owner's memory, he couldn't remember when this big wooden pile appeared. Was it there when he moved to this dilapidated house?Or did Qi Yan get it back later?
But Du Xuan had some ideas.

Especially, after trying to repair the gate of the courtyard just now and suffering from Waterloo.

Du Xuan always felt a little bit hard to calm down, how could it be possible?I am an expert at using tools anyway, how could I fail?

So Du Xuan thought about it, and there was nothing to do anyway, so she put on a posture, took the tools, and started working on the big wooden pile under the eaves.

When Xiaobao heard her sawing wood, he stayed by her side, very curious, her little mouth didn't stop, like a cannonball.

"Mom, what are you doing? Are you sawing wood? What are you going to do?"

"A small wooden boat?"

"A little wooden rabbit?"

"A wooden duck?"

It made Du Xuan want to laugh several times, and almost crooked, "Be good, I'll make one for you."

"I'm good!" Qi Xiaobao stopped chattering and squatted beside him quietly, pinching the pile of sawdust on the ground with his fingers back and forth, as if it felt strange.

Qi Yan didn't care what she was doing, and went to the river to chop bamboo.

After a while, he came back with a few thick bamboos and threw them in the yard.

Holding a sharpened scythe, he started to make the cage neatly, cutting the bamboo into finger-wide strips.

I also took some sawdust from Du Xuan nearby, lit a small fire, and bent the long bamboo strips at the right position to make a cage frame of a suitable size.

I have to say, the workmanship looks really good.

Du Xuan looked at it for a while, and then began to work on what she was doing. The wood was sawed into pieces of suitable size, and then she took a chisel and a small hammer and began to chisel slowly.

Just like she would glance at Qi Yan from time to time, Qi Yan would occasionally glance at her.

This woman is very skillful, and it is not difficult to see that she is a person who can do things from the delicious food she cooks.

Moreover, Qi Yan took a look at the small wooden boat she made for Xiaobao before. Although there is nothing too complicated and exquisite in style, the details are handled very well, and the corners and surface are polished very smooth. .

Du Xuan quickly chiseled the shape, and then went to the side room to get a handful of horsetail grass that she hadn't used up before. The ancient method of polishing wood, without sandpaper, would use green bricks or horsetail grass , Of course, fur or shells are also used.

In this world, horsetail grass is also used by carpenters to polish wood, but it is not called horsetail grass, and the name is simpler and easier to understand, called sand grass.

Although Du Xuan and Qi Yan were both busy in the same yard, and the yard was not very big, they were both quite quiet.

Silence focused on doing the matter at hand.

On the other hand, Qi Xiaobao was so happy that he went back and forth between his parents, as if he was almost overwhelmed.

"Qi Xiaobao, come to me." Du Xuan glanced at Qi Yan's movements from the corner of her eye, and called out, "The bamboo stick in your father's hand will be drawn to you later. Come quickly."

Qi Xiaobao was very happy, walking towards Du Xuan with bouncing steps.

In the end, because he was too happy, he stumbled with his left foot and fell forward with a cry of surprise.

In the front are Du Xuan's carpentry tools!Because Xiao Bao couldn't see, Du Xuan was already very careful, keeping all the tools beside her.

It doesn't matter what's in this pile of tools, there's always something metal in that pile anyway, so if you jump on God knows what, you may get hurt.

But fortunately, Du Xuan kept all these tools at her hand for safety's sake.

At this moment, the first reaction was to reach out and block it.

The child's body fell on her arm, and her arm fell down, pressing on the pile of tools.

I don't know what was pressed, but there was a sharp pain in front of the forearm.

"..." Du Xuan held back the muffled groan in her throat, and said in a steady voice, "Are you all right? Did I tell you to walk carefully?"

Xiao Bao breathed a sigh of relief silently, and smiled embarrassedly, "I was happy all of a sudden, and then I forgot about it. Fortunately, I have my mother here, so I am not afraid of having my mother..."

It's just that before the words were finished, he smelled some breath in his nose, and heard some voices with his ears keenly.

The breath is not very clear, but the voice can be heard clearly.

tick, tick...

The smile on Xiaobao's face suddenly froze, and his voice trembled, "Mother... Mother, what's the matter with you? Father, what's the matter, mother?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to feel for it, but Du Xuan avoided it sideways.

Qi Yan watched the woman frown slightly, bit her lip and said nothing, one hand covered the front of the other forearm, blood seeped out from between her fingers, dripping to the ground.

Facing Qi Yan's gaze, she shook her head lightly, signaling Qi Yan not to speak.

Then, Qi Yan...
