The president always wants to steal my sweet potato

Mu Lianghua sighed and said, "Xiaoxue, it is my brother who is sorry for you. I failed to protect you."

Mu Yaqi coaxed: "Why do you say that? If you hadn't sent me to the hospital, I might really be hopeless."

Mu Lianghua shook his head slightly and asked, "What do you remember?"

Mu Yaqi thought about the dream she had that time and said, "It seemed like I was in a forest that day, it was raining heavily, I was bleeding from my waist, and then I seemed to faint."

She was actually gambling, betting whether Mu Lianghua would tell her.

Mu Lianghua asked: "Do you know how you got the injury on your waist?"

Mu Yaqi said: "I don't remember this, but considering my strong obsession with sniping at the time and my skills, I guess the only one who can hurt me is a sniper, right?"

Mu Lianghua nodded: "We think so too."

Mu Yaqi pretended to be confused: "We?"

Mu Lianghua paused and said, "You originally had the right to know about this matter, and we are sorry for you. In fact, we kept it a secret from you because we didn't want you to be in danger again. Later I found out that Lu Chengfeng was also there that day. We all agreed that your presence there had something to do with him, because you didn't have a direct encounter with Lu Chengfeng at the time, and you just happened to have forgotten about him, so..."

"That's why you chose not to tell me," Mu Yaqi nodded, "I know you guys are doing this for my own good, and I have indeed lived a peaceful life until now, so I don't blame you."

Mu Yaqi paused and said, "So, now I want to know what you know, okay?"

Mu Lianghua let out a long sigh, nodded, and said, "That day I received a mission saying that someone was gathering to fight and disrupt public order, and asked us to mediate."

"I was carving wood with you at home when I suddenly received this notice..."

......

"Look, what is this?"

Mu Lianghua, who was originally quietly watching TV on the sofa, was suddenly harassed by Mu Yaqi.

Ah... No, it should be a passionate inquiry.

Sixteen-year-old Mu Yaqi placed a carved hollow leaf in front of Mu Lianghua, deliberately blocking his view of TV.

"I don't know, what is it?" He responded to her helplessly and cooperatively.

"Oh, guess, guess."

"Can not guess."

"It's a peony! Can't you really tell it?" Mu Yaqi wondered as she held the leaf sculpture in front of her.

Mu Lianghua praised from the side: "Oh, oh, oh, now I can see it, it's a peony."

Mu Yaqi looked at him suspiciously and pouted, "Nonsense, you didn't even see it. You obviously just followed what I said after hearing it."

Mu Lianghua coaxed, "Oh, don't expose me. What's so fun about leaf carving? Look, I'll carve a wooden sculpture for you."

Mu Yaqi's eyes lit up: "Wood carving? Using wood?"

Mu Lianghua nodded proudly: "Yes."

Mu Yaqi suddenly became interested: "You can also carve wood carvings, I didn't know that, come and carve one for me to see!"

Mu Lianghua asked: "Okay, what do you want to carve?"

Mu Yaqi thought about it, and then an idea flashed in her mind: "Why not carve a phoenix?"

Mu Lianghua looked embarrassed: "I don't know how to carve a phoenix, so I'll just carve a bird."

Mu Yaqi thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

Mu Lianghua smiled and said, "Wait for me for a moment."

He went to the utility room and rummaged around for a while. When he came out, he was holding a box and a piece of yellow-white wood.

Mu Yaqi looked over curiously and asked, "What kind of wood is this? Where did you find it?"

Mu Lianghua walked towards her and said, "This is basswood. Last time I went to Tian Ye's house, I asked him to play with it. But after I got it, I never had time to take care of it, so I threw it in the utility room."

Mu Lianghua smiled and said, "He has a lot of fun things there. I'll take you to see them when I have time. You'll definitely like them. If you like anything, just tell me and I'll get it for you."

Mu Yaqi said, "Really? But I don't know him. Is it okay for me to ask him for the real money?"

Mu Lianghua came and sat next to her and said, "You don't know him, but I do. He also has a sister. If I tell him that you asked him for it because you like it, he will definitely understand my feelings. Besides, he is very generous, and you are so cute, he will definitely give it to you."

Mu Yaqi nodded: "Okay, then we can go and have a look next time when we have time."

Mu Lianghua smiled: "Yeah."

Mu Lianghua explained to her: "The sapwood of basswood is usually quite large and creamy white, gradually merging into the light to brownish red heartwood, sometimes with darker streaks."

Mu Yaqi nodded as she listened: "How do you know so much?"

Mu Lianghua smiled and tempted her: "If you study this normally, you will know these things."

Mu Yaqi shrank her neck and refused, "This thing is so complicated, I probably won't be interested in it. I'm just here to watch the fun."

Mu Lianghua found a handy tool from the toolbox, drew a simple sketch, and then took a wood carving knife and carved while saying: "This kind of wood has fine and uniform texture and fuzzy straight grain. Basswood is generally yellowish white, slightly light and soft, with straight texture, slightly fine structure, silky luster, and soft feeling."

Mu Yaqi stared at the wood in his hand and asked, "Since this wood is so light in color, is it easier to color it?"

Mu Lianghua praised: "Smart, it has large gaps, easy to dye or bleach, and it will not deform or crack after drying."

Time passed minute by minute, and the wood carving knife in Mu Lianghua's hand moved deftly, removing the excess parts in circles, from coarse to fine. Wood chips kept falling from between his fingers, and soon a prototype took shape.

Next, he adjusted the details to make the carving more precise. He took the time to ask, "Do you want to try it?"

Mu Yaqi shook her head frantically: "No, no, no, I will destroy it."

Mu Lianghua smiled and continued what he was doing. After the bird wood carving was basically formed, he began to work on the details.

Mu Yaqi held her chin and groaned, "What a hassle."

Mu Lianghua joked: "You think this is too much trouble? We still have to color it later."

Mu Yaqi rolled her eyes and said, "Leave the coloring to me, I can do this~"

Mu Lianghua asked, "How does it look compared to the leaf sculpture you made earlier?"

Mu Yaqi argued: "Leaf carving is leaf carving, wood carving is wood carving, they are different and cannot be compared."

Mu Lianghua looked at her helplessly, and Mu Yaqi smiled at him slyly.

Mu Lianghua shook his head and said lovingly, "You."

Mu Yaqi laughed twice and said, "But if we only talk about skills, of course, big brother is better!"

Mu Lianghua laughed when he heard this.

After finishing the details of the large feathers, he then worked on the small down on the body. Gradually, a cute little bird was born in his hands, with the details portrayed vividly.

Then only the bird's eyes were left.

Mu Lianghua was just about to change to a more delicate tool when he heard the phone on the coffee table ringing.

Mu Lianghua raised his eyes and glanced over there, not paying much attention. He casually said, "Xiaoxue, help me get my phone." Then he changed to a tool that could carve more delicately and continued to complete his art.

Mu Yaqi nodded, reached out to pick up his phone, and heard Mu Lianghua ask: "Who's calling?"

Mu Yaqi said: "Tian Ye."

Mu Lianghua paused, put down the carving knife, took the phone and frowned slightly, asking in confusion: "Tian Ye?"

Mu Lianghua pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, what's the matter?"

Tian Ye said, "Captain Mu, we just received a notice that there are people gathering to cause trouble in the Gavelton area. If we don't handle it properly, it may escalate into a political issue. Our superiors asked us to take people to mediate."

Mu Lianghua's eyes were dim, and he said, "Okay, have you notified the others?"

Tian Ye's voice came from the phone: "Not yet."

Mu Lianghua said: "You notify the others now, I will go now and meet up in Corvi later."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Lianghua handed the wood carving to Mu Yaqi and said to her: "I'm going out for a while, and I should be back soon."

Mu Yaqi held the wooden bird in her hand and nodded obediently: "Okay."

Mu Lianghua went to the bedroom to pack his equipment, and when everything was ready, he walked out.

"and many more."

Mu Lianghua paused when Mu Yaqi's voice came. He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Yaqi said solemnly, "I always feel that this is not as simple as a simple gang fight. They notified you so suddenly and sent such an elite team like you. I think this trip may be dangerous."

Mu Lianghua comforted him, "I know there might be danger this time, so we can't let anyone else go. Don't worry, I will come back safely."

Mu Yaqi was still a little worried: "Can you take me with you?"

Mu Lianghua frowned slightly and advised: "Xiaoxue, stop making trouble."

Mu Yaqi asked: "If you can't take me with you in principle, then take me there secretly. You know I'm very capable. I can protect myself."

Mu Lianghua said seriously: "Not only for the confidentiality of the mission, but as your elder brother, I am responsible for your safety, so I will not let you go no matter what."

Mu Yaqi's worried expression became more and more obvious: "But..."

"Okay," Mu Lianghua interrupted her, "Just wait for me at home, don't worry."

Then he turned and walked towards the door, and Mu Yaqi followed him closely.

When they reached the door, Mu Lianghua looked back at her and said, "Stay home and don't come out until I come back."

Mu Yaqi pursed her lips.

Mu Lianghua asked the servants to lock the door and told them not to let the young lady out, then went to Corvi to join the team.

......

Having said this, Mu Lianghua stopped and stared at her in some confusion.

Mu Yaqi lowered her eyes with a guilty look: "I finally left, right?"

Mu Lianghua looked at her helplessly and said, "You still know yourself very well."

Mu Yaqi whispered: "You also know that I have a body of 100 kilograms and a rebellious bone of 800 kilograms."
