Because the spring water hadn't been collected yet, no matter how helpless Wei Zi was, the forging had to be stopped.

Wei Zi, who looked sore, finally went to the carpenter's shop.I used a small dagger to carve the magic horse on the wooden stick before, but it is still not as comfortable as a professional tool...

Wei Zi planned to go to the carpenter's shop to buy another complete set of carving knives and some pieces of wood, and take a look at how the custom-made table was doing.

"Brother Wei, you're here." The boss is all acquaintances. Wei Zi ordered the airs and furniture at this house.So as soon as he saw a big employer, the boss rushed out to greet him.

"Boss, what happened to the table I ordered?" Wei Zi found a table and sat down, looking around at the exhibits in the shop.Well, the dressing table in the corner, the peony relief craftsmanship is really good.

"Brother Wei, I can't do your things for you first." Patting Wei Zi on the shoulder, the boss smiled heartily. "It's just, brother Wei, do you really want to saw such a good wooden surface?" Wei Zi wanted to make a foldable table before, so relying on his memory, Wei Zi gave the boss a table that he used before referring to his home. According to the design drawing of the solid wood table, the boss asked the boss to assemble all the parts according to the design drawing. As for the place with the rotating shaft, Wei Zi planned to go home and try to press it.Now the owner of the carpenter's shop is asking about the board that was chosen to make the tabletop. You must know that there are no composite boards these days, and they are all solid wood. Then a large piece of wood is cut like that. The boss is really a bit unbearable.

"It's okay, I've found a way to splice it together," Wei Zi could tell that the boss was also concerned, so Wei Zi smiled at the boss. "Uncle Boss, have you forgotten what I do?"

"...a blacksmith."

"Then that's it, the blacksmith can't solve the problem that the carpenter can't solve, right?" After finishing speaking, Wei Zi flashed his little tiger teeth at the boss pretending to be playful.

"Pfft—" For such a big person, he still doesn't grow up like a child.Seeing Wei Zi like this, the boss laughed out loud. "Brother Wei, if you cry then, don't come to uncle."

"Don't worry, I'm still sure." After a pause, Wei Zi continued. "Boss, do you have wood carving tools here?"

"Why, didn't you dare to change your career and come here to grab uncle's job?"

"No... isn't there nothing going on these two days..." Wei Zi couldn't help scratching his head embarrassingly when he thought of the decadent days when he was full of food and sleep, like raising a pig.

"As long as you don't come to grab Uncle's job from me, then there are things." Unusual, the boss also made a joke with Wei Zi. "Ergou, get a set of carving knives for Brother Wei!" As he said that, the boss turned his head and shouted towards the backyard.

"Okay—" Soon, Ergou's voice came from the backyard, "Here is something." Soon Ergou ran over from the backyard, holding a heavy wooden box in his hand. "Brother Wei." ·

"Thank you." After taking the wooden box, Wei Zi opened it and found that it was a complete set of 22 knives, ranging from large ones for grinding flat surfaces to small triangular knives that could be used to carve stamens. "Huh? Why didn't you see Uncle Qian today?" Uncle Qian is usually in charge of the warehouse in the backyard of this store, and Wei Zi's table was sold to this person in the end.

"Ah, Uncle Qian has been sick recently..."

"Ergou, what are you talking about with Brother Wei!" But Ergou was interrupted by the owner of the carpenter shop before he could finish speaking.How can you tell the guests such unlucky things as people's illness? After finishing speaking, the boss gave Ergou a hard look. "Go back to your work."

"Oh..." Knowing that he was talking too much, Er Gou went back to the backyard listlessly.

"Boss, do you have any wood leftovers here, can you give me some?" Wei Zi still has a good impression of Ergou, fearing that the boss will scold Ergou again, Wei Zi quickly changed the subject . "It doesn't have to be too good, I just started practicing engraving."

"Yes, our carpenter's shop lacks everything, but this is not lacking, you wait for me to get it for you." When making furniture, especially those with curved lines, you basically make a table leg You have to waste a whole piece of square. Usually, these leftovers are not wanted by anyone, and they can only be used to burn fire. As a real carpenter and a person who loves the craft of carpentry, looking at the best wood is just a piece of wood. Throwing it away like this is digging the meat in my heart. It is rare that someone wants it, so the boss hurriedly got up and went to the backyard, for fear that Wei Zi would not want it if he ran late.

As soon as the boss left, Wei Zi was left alone in the whole room, so he had nothing to do but use his eyes to study the carvings on the surrounding furniture.

Soon the boss came back with a big bag.The moment the bag landed on the ground, the corners of Wei Zi's mouth twitched. How long have these leftovers been?One or two yuan is enough for yourself!I really don't intend to change my career to become a woodcarver! "Boss..."

"What's wrong? Not enough?"

"Enough." It really is enough... Wei Zi was afraid that he was too late, so the boss took out another bag of wood.

"Oh." Hearing Wei Zi's words, the boss froze instantly.

"Boss, I'll use these first, and I'll buy them when they're not enough." Sure enough, upon hearing this, the boss' eyes lit up instantly. "Well, boss, how much is the total?" Wei Zi, who felt that he had taken a big job for himself, changed the subject in embarrassment.

In the end, Wei Zi took away the set of knives for a tael or two. As for the bag of wood, the boss said that it was left over from the furniture anyway. They paid for it before, and kept it for fire. , so I simply gave them to Wei Zi.The meaning behind the words is to let Wei Zi often come to fetch wood.

After leaving the carpenter's shop, Wei Zi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.

Even with Wei Zi's arm strength, his arm was sore when he brought this bag of wood home. One can imagine how much the owner of the carpenter's shop gave.

The weather was so rare that Wei Zi started his career as a woodcarver directly in the front hall under the sunshine.

"Click!" But after engraving, Wei Zi found that he couldn't see clearly. With the sound of "click" on the eaves, Wei Zi realized that it was raining at some point, and it looked like a rain outside. It's been down for a while.

"It's raining... no wonder I can't see clearly." Looking at the sawdust all over the place, Wei Zi didn't bother to change places, so he simply closed the door and lit the lamp, intending to cause harm to this place.

"Papa papa!!" Wei Zi wanted to carve a rabbit, but this eye was short of the final eye. Who knew that the door of the room was slapped, and was startled by the sound, and his hands trembled. Well, a rabbit's eye was stabbed out like this, and the thing that had been carved all afternoon was scrapped like this.

"Damn it, who is it!" No one would be in a good mood at this time, Wei Zi cursed, and the appointed person got up to open the door, because the door knocked too fast, so Wei Zi's wooden scum Didn't even get to shoot it.

"Wei Zi..."

"Gongyangye?" Wei Zi was surprised when he saw the soaked person standing in the rain. This person has disappeared for nearly a month... "Gongyangye, you..."

"Finally seeing you..."

"Gongyangye! Gongyangye! What's the matter with you!" Wei Zi watched as Gongyangye twitched his lips, and then he just turned upside down to himself. "Damn it! I have a fever!" But when he actually hugged Gong Yangye, Wei Zi realized how hot the person in his arms was. Even through the soaked clothes, he could feel the fever. Hot temperature. "Hey..." In this situation, he could no longer throw people out, and sighed, Wei Zi resigned himself to carrying the comatose Gongyangye on his back. No matter how unwilling, Wei Zi can only dedicate half of his bed.

Wearing wet clothes while having a fever is pure courting death, Wei Zi carried Gong Yangye onto the bed, and resigned himself to his fate and began to pick off Gong Yangye's clothes. "I'm cao!" This was the third time Wei Zi swears this night.Seeing the bloody red marks on Gong Yangye's chest, anyone can tell that they are left by the whip.Standing up the ram leaf, nothing happened, and the injury on his back got worse.It can almost be described as being torn apart.If you look carefully at the skin on Gongyangye, it's actually not difficult to find that there are many old scars on Gongyangye's body, but there are too many new wounds, and it's hard to see when it's all red.

"Xiao Zi," Wei Zi didn't dare to leave in Gongyangye's current situation, so he could only let Xiao Zi go out in this rainy day.With a cry, after a while, Xiao Zi opened the window and flew in. "Xiaozi, can you please help me to invite Dr. Cheng? Xiaozi is really sorry, you see, I can't do without this situation..." Xiaozi glanced at Wei Zi, and then at Wei Zi lying on the bed The ram leaf called out in a low voice.This means agreeing. "Xiao Zi, thank you, I'll make you some fried fish in a while."

After simply thanking him with a letter and putting it in a waterproof bamboo tube, Wei Zi asked Xiao Zi to take him to the doctor.

When Cheng Jin followed Xiao Zi to the blacksmith shop, he didn't know who the person who asked him to come was, but when he saw Wei Zi's face, Cheng Jin remembered that this child was the one who picked up Yuan'er before. what. "Brother Wei, long time no see, this time you are..." He looked up and down Wei Zi, his expression was calm, his face was rosy and he didn't look sick...

"It's not me, it's someone else." After saying that, Wei Zi dragged Cheng Jin to his bedroom.Seeing the young man with abnormally flushed face but blue lips on the bed, Cheng Jin couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth twice.I go!It's fine to pick up Yuan'er before, but this time... If I'm not mistaken, this guy is the young master of Jianzhuang, right?I looked Wei Zi up and down, has the child's instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages been completely dead?

Even though he was thinking this way, as a doctor, Cheng Jin still walked to the bedside to check Gongyang Ye's pulse.
