Qi Yan turned his eyes and saw the hidden smile on Xiaobao's lips.

This child seems to be more and more similar to the woman inside. I really don't know if it is right to leave the child to her.

Du Xuan stood in the kitchen, probably because the Du family's kitchen was spacious, and Du Xuan felt a little uncomfortable in the somewhat compact kitchen of her own house.

To say compact is a euphemism, but in fact it is narrow and small.

Du Xuan placed two pheasants in the corner of the kitchen. Both pheasants were still alive. There was also a nest of quails and a rabbit in her space, but the family was indeed not that short of money now and did not need to sell prey.

Emergency.

After being unable to eat for a while, Du Xuan had some thoughts in her mind.

When she walked out of the kitchen, she happened to see Qi Yan put the courtyard door back into place with a click.

"Okay?" Xiaobao stretched out his hand and touched something familiar. He finally touched something familiar and laughed, "Daddy is really awesome."

Qi Yan said nothing, put away the tools, and turned around to see Du Xuan standing there, looking at him.

Du Xuan thought for a while, then walked up and said, "Qi Yan, can you make that kind of cage?"

"What kind." Qi Yan looked at her.

Du Xuan thought for a while and said, "The kind that can raise rabbits. Xiaobao's rabbit seems to have come back to life. When the legs are healed, it will definitely run away if there is nothing to lock it up."

Qi Yan understood what she meant and nodded, "You can try it."

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

Du Xuan took the quails and rabbits into the space, out of sight of course.

"I was afraid that someone would steal it while we were away, so I hid it."

After hearing what Du Xuan said, Qi Xiaobao started to blow rainbow farts, "Mom is so thoughtful!"

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

Even in the memory of the original owner, he can no longer remember when this big wooden pile appeared. Was it there when he moved to this shabby house? Or was it brought back by Qi Yan later?

But Du Xuan had some ideas.

Especially, after trying to repair the courtyard door just now and failing miserably.

Du Xuan has always felt a little frustrated. How could this be possible? After all, she is a good user of tools, so how could she fail?

So Du Xuan thought for a while and realized that there was nothing wrong anyway, so she put on her posture, took the tools, and started working on the big wooden pile under the eaves.

Xiaobao heard the sound of her sawing wood and stayed beside her. He was very curious and kept talking like a barrage of fire.

"Mom, what are you doing? Sawing wood? What are you trying to do?"

"A small wooden boat?"

"Little wooden rabbit?"

"A wooden duck?"

It made Du Xuan want to laugh several times and almost saw the saw. "Be good and I will make one for you."

"I'm good!" Qi Xiaobao stopped chirping and squatted quietly beside him, squeezing a pile of sawdust on the ground back and forth with his fingers, as if he had a strange feel for it.

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

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

Holding a small sharpened sickle, he started to make the cage quickly and neatly, cutting the bamboo into finger-width strips.

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

I have to say, the craftsmanship looks really good.

Du Xuan watched for a while and then started to work on what she was doing. She sawed the wood into pieces of suitable size, then took a chisel and a small hammer and started to slowly chip away at it.

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

This woman is very skillful with her hands. From the delicious food she cooks, it is not difficult to tell that she is a person who knows how to do things.

Moreover, Qi Yan took a look at the small wooden boat she made for Xiaobao before. Although it didn't have an overly complicated or exquisite style, the details were handled very well, and the corners and surface were polished very smoothly.

.

Du Xuan quickly chiseled out the shape, and then went to the side room to get a handful of horsetail that she had not used before. She polished the wood in the old-fashioned way. If there was no sandpaper, she would use green bricks or horsetail.

, of course fur or shells are also used.

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

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

Stay silent and focus on the task at hand.

Qi Xiaobao, on the other hand, was so happy that he seemed to be overwhelmed by going back and forth between his parents.

"Qi Xiaobao, come here." Du Xuan glanced at Qi Yan's movements from the corner of her eye and called out, "Wait a minute and the bamboo stick in your father's hand will hit you. Come here quickly."

Qi Xiaobao was happily walking towards Du Xuan with a bounce in his steps.

As a result, he was so happy that he stumbled over his left foot and his right foot. He screamed and fell forward.

In front of them are Du Xuan's carpentry tools! Because Xiaobao couldn't see, Du Xuan was already very careful and gathered the tools next to her.

No matter what is in this pile of tools, there is always something metal in that pile anyway. If you jump on it, God knows what, you may get injured.

But fortunately, Du Xuan kept all these tools at hand for safety reasons.

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

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

I don't know what I pressed on, but I felt a sharp pain in the front of my forearm.

"..." Du Xuan suppressed the groan in her throat, stabilized her voice and said, "Are you okay? Did I tell you to be careful when walking?"

Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief silently and smiled sheepishly, "I was so happy that I forgot about it. Fortunately, my mother is here. I am not afraid of my mother..."

But before he finished speaking, he smelled some breath in his nose and heard some sounds with keen ears.

The breath was not clear, but the voice was heard clearly.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

The smile on Xiaobao's face suddenly froze, and his voice trembled a little, "Mom...Mom, what's wrong with you? Dad, what's wrong with mom?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grope, but Du Xuan stepped aside to avoid it.

Qi Yan looked at the woman with a slight frown on her face, biting her lips without saying a word, and covering the front of her forearm with one hand. Blood seeped out from between her fingers and fell to the ground in drops.

Meeting Qi Yan's gaze, she shook her head gently, signaling Qi Yan not to say anything.

Then, Qi Yan him...
Chapter completed!
