Chapter 048: Haizi

Every household in the fishing village has a boat, and every time they go out to sea, they have to be overhauled, and the men in the fishing village are more or less able to do some carpentry work. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info but if you want to talk about which one is done well, it should be Haizi.

Not long after Haizi was born, he was abandoned by his father and mother, and was picked up by the widow of the village, Aunt Kong. Because he picked it up when he was rushing to the sea, he named it Haizi.

When Haizi was abandoned, he froze on the beach for a long time, and then he had a high fever for several days and nights, leaving the root of the disease since then. Life is clear-eyed, limbs are sound, but the brain is a little slow.

Haizi likes to do carpentry work when he is a child, and whoever decorates doors and windows and makes furniture, he has to stand aside and watch intently, and he will do it himself when he sees more. No one has taught him seriously, and he has learned a good skill without saying a word.

He only loves to do carpentry, and he has no interest in the others, so he will not follow the people of the village to the sea to fish. Just relying on Aunt Kong to pick up some things in exchange for a few dollars, life is much more difficult than other families.

The people in the village took pity on their mother and son, and as long as there was carpentry work at home, they all called Haizi to do it, and then gave him more money as a reward.

Haizi's brain is slow, but his hands and feet are sharper than any other. No matter where you work, you do it quickly and well. There were also people from other villages who came to ask him to come over to do work, but unfortunately he confessed his life, and no matter how others persuaded him, he just refused to leave the village.

Mulan saw him a few times on the beach, and always followed behind Aunt Kong inch by inch, her eyes were always drooping, she never looked at people, and she never spoke. It's a very quiet person.,The sense of presence can't be lower.。

Listening to Da Chun talk about Haizi's situation, she was a little hesitant and didn't know whether to go to Haizi or not.

First, she entered the village halfway, and she had never dealt with the Kong family, so she was just a stranger to Haizi, and Haizi might not be willing to take her job; Second, her money was used to buy beads and colored threads, so she came to the door empty-handed, and she inevitably had a suspicion of taking advantage of other orphans and widows.

She also asked Da Chun, apart from Haizi, which carpentry work is better. Da Chun said a few, but they were all rough work, and a little more delicate ones couldn't be done.

She thought about it for a long time, and still took the drawings and came to Kong's house.

After eating, Aunt Kong went to the beach with a basket as usual, only Haizi was at home, sitting in the sun under the window, holding a piece of wood in one hand and a carving knife in the other, carving something seriously, and never even noticed that someone pushed the door in.

Mulan slowed down and approached, and saw that the piece of wood in his hand was changing shape at a considerable speed. Every knife did not hesitate, every knife was extremely accurate, but in a quarter of an hour, a cicada lying on a bamboo knot was vividly displayed in front of him.

The bulging eyes, the whisker-like antennae, the slender mouthparts, the long feet that hold the bamboo joints tightly, and the thin membranous wings are all vivid and vivid, exuding the infectious power of seduction. She subconsciously held her breath and stared at it motionlessly, as if if it would chirp loudly and fly away with its wings if she missed her eyeball.

After Haizi carved the last knife, he carefully blew away the sawdust, held the cicada in his hand, and watched carefully into the sun.

Only then did Mulan discover that under his long and thin eyelashes, there were a pair of eyes that were so clear that there was no trace of impurities. At this time, there was a happy smile flowing in those eyes, like a clear spring dyed with sunshine, bright and quiet, and no one could bear to blaspheme.

He seemed pleased with his work, and after a moment of quiet viewing, he placed it on the windowsill. There are already several works placed there, including a galloping horse, a reclining Buddha with a wishful heart, and a child riding a bull and playing the flute......

Each piece is exquisite, lifelike and breathtaking.

He set up the cicada and picked up a piece of wood from the basket next to him, as if he was ready to carve the next piece.

Mulan was afraid that once he was immersed in it, it would be difficult to disturb him, so she hurriedly said: "Uncle Haizi, you may not know me, I live in Shanzi's house, and I am the female doll that Uncle Dachun fished back from the sea......"

"Mulan." Haizi suddenly opened his mouth, "Your name is Mulan." ”

He spoke slowly, but very methodically. Probably because he rarely speaks, his voice is a little low and hoarse.

Mulan didn't expect him to be able to call her name, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm Mulan." Uncle Haizi, so you know me? ”

Haizi lowered his eyes and did not look at her, nor did he speak again, but blindly stared at the wood and carving knife in his hand, as if he was wondering what to carve next.

Mulan thought that it was better not to deal with him in vain, it was better to get straight to the point, so she hurriedly took out the drawings and handed them over to him, "Uncle Haizi, I want to ask you to help me make a few things." ”

The drawings blocked the wood and the carving knife, Hai Zi's brows furrowed almost invisibly, and he slowly raised his eyelashes, and as soon as his gaze fell on the paper, he froze.

Mulan wasn't sure if he was angry, and said with some apprehension: "That, I heard Uncle Da Chun say that Uncle Haizi did the best carpentry work in the village, so ......"

Haizi doesn't speak or move, even her eyelashes are still.

Mulan opened her mouth and wanted to say something more, but it can be seen that he looks like this, and he is afraid that he will not be able to listen to what he says. He sighed, and was about to take the drawing back, when his hand moved, and he grabbed it.

"Uncle Haizi?" She screamed in surprise.

Haizi pinched the edge of the drawing with the hand holding the carving knife, and his eyes never left the pattern above him for a moment, as if he wanted to keep looking at it.

Mulan tried to twitch without twitching, so she simply led him to slowly lower it, resting the drawing on his knee, and then let go of her hand, "Uncle Haizi, then I'll put the drawing here with you first, and I'll come over and see ...... in two days~ I'll come back and see "

If he does, it will be the best; If he doesn't do it, he will have to think of something else.

As for the issue of remuneration, I am afraid that it will be unclear to tell him, so I will find Aunt Kong when necessary.

She glanced at the drawings lying quietly on Haizi's lap, and then at the works on the windowsill, hoping in her heart, but not daring to hope too much. With mixed feelings, he left the courtyard of the Kong family.

Half an hour after she had been gone, the man who had been silent like a sculpture for a long time suddenly jumped up, drawings, knives, and wood scattered to the ground with his movements. Ignoring it, he went straight to the barn where the wood was stored, and rummaged through it with both hands.

Early the next morning, as soon as Mulan got up, she heard someone calling her name outside, "Mulan, is Mulan at home?" ”

She heard the sound a little familiar, and for a moment she couldn't remember which one it was. Hurriedly dressed and went out, and looked through the faint light of the morning light, and saw Aunt Kong and Haizi both standing outside the low wall.

She was taken aback, and immediately ran over and opened the door, "Aunt Kong, Uncle Haizi, ...... you are"

Without waiting for Aunt Kong to speak, Haizi took a step forward and stuffed a square burden into her arms with a "bang".
