107 Invisible Rifts

"Sister-in-law, why do you want to do this?" When Chu Erbing took the things out again, he asked suspiciously.

"Shh~~ Confidential." Zhu Yuenuan took it, raised her index finger and smiled, looked at Chu Erbing, who was still wondering, and added, "Anyone asks, just say what Fang just said." ”

"Oh, good." Chu Erbing nodded as if he didn't understand.

Chu Chongzhu didn't care about these at all, he was completely immersed in the world of iron.

Li Yuniang, who came back from outside, was stunned when she saw the two uncles and sisters-in-law who were so close, her face immediately fell, she coughed twice deliberately, lowered her head and dusted off her clean clothes, and walked between Zhu Yuenuan and Chu Erbing.

"Mother-in-law......" Zhu Yuenuan was about to say hello, when she saw Li Yuniang straight into the kitchen, she couldn't help blinking her eyes in confusion.

Chu Erbing also felt a little inexplicable, but he just looked at Li Yuniang's back, and then quickly returned to the iron shed and continued to work.

Zhu Yuenuan didn't have time to delay any longer, turned around and went back to the room with the bag in her hand, poured out all the parts in the bag, and began to pick and choose and start to assemble.

In the next few days, Chu Yitong went out early and returned late, running at home and in the academy, and the classmates who were going to go on a study tour together were also determined, this time, Shu Yaoqing was also going, and there were several other students who Chu Yitong had good friends with, and then Qin Shiyu and Ji Wenchu.

Shu Yaoqing was going, but Zhu Yuenuan didn't react, but when he heard Qin Shiyu, Zhu Yuenuan's hand assembling the parts paused slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Only later. Let Jinlan go back to the brocade cloth dyeing workshop.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, tomorrow is going to hand in the map, you ......" agreed to hand over the map at dinner the day before. Chu Chongzhu finally asked a question that he hadn't asked in the past few days.

"There is no problem with the hierarchical diagram, it's just that it still takes some work to complete it." Zhu Yuenuan smiled, but her expression was calm.

"It's been so many days, aren't you okay?" Li Yuniang frowned and looked at Zhu Yuenuan. After a pause, he said. "If you're not sure, you can't hide it, and while there's still one night, we'll have to think of another way."

"Mother. What are you talking about? Chu Erbing looked at Li Yuniang dissatisfied, "Sister-in-law has been busy for so many days, you don't look at her, she has lost a lot of weight, you are talking about it well......"

"Am I not telling the truth?" Li Yuniang immediately glared back.

"Okay, when is it, it won't stop." Chu Chong put down his chopsticks heavily, reprimanded impatiently, and looked at Li Yuniang. "What kind of solution are you talking about?"

"I ...... But you can't just ...... like this" Li Yuniang suddenly wilted and put down the bowl.

"Then say less." Chu Chongzhu sighed. I picked up my chopsticks again.

After eating, Zhu Yuenuan went back to the room and sat at the table, and even when Chu Yitong entered the room, she didn't raise her head.

"Nuan Nuan." Chu Yitong stood beside her and said apologetically, "Mother is also worried. Don't take it to heart. ”

"I understand, and. My mother-in-law was right. Zhu Yuenuan nodded, staring at the parts in her hand, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her expression was focused.

Chu Yitong noticed her expression and followed her gaze to her hand.

She was putting a part on it and removing it again.

After thinking about it, Chu Yitong spoke again: "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

"It's not early, you go to sleep." Zhu Yuenuan replied without thinking.

Chu Yitong didn't move, quietly watching her movements, her eyes not clearing.

After a while, Zhu Yue turned her head suddenly, looked at him, and was slightly stunned: "Why don't you go to sleep?" ”

"With you." Chu Yitong smiled gently, his eyes were sinky, "I have to hand in the picture tomorrow, how can you let me sleep peacefully?" ”

"Okay." Zhu Yuenuan looked at him, and for a moment, she smiled and nodded, "Your painting is better than mine, if it's not too trivial, put some of these exploded drawings in one piece, one layer, one piece." ”

"Okay." Chu Yitong was very happy, turned around and moved a stool over, sat opposite her, and tipped it carefully.

Zhu Yuenuan's gaze only stayed on him for a while, and then fell on the parts in his hand.

The dim lights flickered, and the night grew deeper.

Chu Yitong drew very slowly and carefully, and the finished products at hand gradually increased.

Zhu Yuenuan pondered and pondered, and the parts in front of her were decreasing little by little.

"Huh~~" After a long time, Zhu Yuenuan exhaled a long breath, stretched her arms, rubbed her hands, and was faintly happy on her face.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yitong raised his head, looked at her with concern and asked.

"Once it's installed, it's time for the final commissioning." Zhu Yuenuan moved her body, bent down slightly, and almost lay on the table, but her hands stopped on top of the assembled lock.

Chu Yitong immediately stopped the pen in his hand, got up and walked to her side, and watched with bated breath.

"The first layer, the upper left third, the third layer, the lower right fourth......" Zhu Yuenuan muttered while adjusting, but after only a while, she stopped, frowning in distress, "No......"

Success was imminent, but her hands became a little unstable.

Chu Yitong watched quietly, watching her tune over and over again, and suddenly reached out to hold her hand: "Sue me order, I'll come." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yuenuan looked up in a daze.

"You take a break." Chu Yitong smiled softly, had already gently grabbed the lock, sat down on the stool with his toes, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at her with clear eyes, "How do you turn now?" ”

Zhu Yuenuan stared at him, suddenly smiled, relaxed her hand, supported her cheeks, and said the order.

Chu Yitong listened carefully, and his long fingers with distinct bones flexibly moved the mechanism according to what she said.

"It's not right this way."

"This one has to be reversed."

In the quiet room, Zhu Yuenuan's whisper and Chu Yitong's sound of pressing the mechanism sounded from time to time.

The sky gradually lit up.

"It's finished!!"

With a sound of "pop~", the middle of the lock popped open, and Zhu Yuenuan and Chu Yitong looked at each other in surprise and smiled.

"Do it again." Zhu Yuenuan dragged a chair to his side. Hasten.

"Okay." Chu Yitong had a smile on his face, and this time, Zhu Yuenuan didn't make a sound......

Mao time. Chu Chongzhu and Li Yuniang got up, one swept the floor, and the other sat at the kitchen door to choose vegetables, and their eyes fell on Chu Yitong's door.

Jin Lan and Jin Qing came out of the firewood house where they lived, and stepped forward to take their place, but the two did not refuse, but they did not leave.

Chu Yitong's door was closed. There was no movement.

Li Yuniang pursed her lips, revealing dissatisfaction. Looking up at Chu Chongzhu, he saw that he was a little anxious, and he didn't start to endure what he was going to say.

"Bang Bang Bang~~"

Suddenly, there was a heavy knock on the door outside.

Chu Chonghammer and Li Yuniang were shocked at the same time. One turned around, the other stood up violently, and looked at the shop in front of them, and the experience of several times made both of them a little shocked and afraid.

Jinqing stopped sweeping the floor, turned his head to look at the two of them, put down the broom in his hand, and walked out quickly.

Chu Chongzhu and Li Yuniang glanced at each other, straightened their backs and followed.

Outside the door. It was Kang Zimu and the officials who had come before.

"Chu Bo, I'm sorry, the big brothers can't help it. It was already promised...... But who knows, the above is urgent. Kang Zimu looked apologetic.

"Blacksmith Chu, today is the last day, but there is a result?" The official at the head did not have a smiling face, but the tone was kind.

"A few officials, please come in and sit down first, this picture ...... In my son's hands. I'm going to take a look. Chu Chong hurriedly let a few people in, "Gongzi Kang also invited." ”

"Hold on. We have to rush back to the county office today, and if we miss the hour, the old man will blame it, and no one can afford it. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Chu Chong hurriedly clenched his fists, turned around and was about to go inside, and after taking a few steps, he stopped again, patted Li Yuniang's shoulder, and ordered, "Go and see if Tong'er is up." ”

"Uh-oh." Li Yuniang responded nervously, hurriedly entered the courtyard, and when she saw the door that was still closed, her face sank even more, and she stepped forward to slam the door heavily, while raising her voice, "Tong'er, open the door quickly, when is it?" If there is no way, just say it early, can the incident be solved by avoiding it and not opening the door? ”

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Chu Yitong's door didn't open, but Chu Erbing's door opened, standing at the door and looking at Li Yuniang very unhappily.

At the same time, the door of the study also opened, and Yuecha covered her chest and looked at this side with concern.

"When has this been, still sleeping, do you have a heart?" Li Yuniang glared at him with hidden anger, "The officials have come to the door, I didn't close my eyes last night, she is so ......"

"Mother." Just as he was saying this, Chu Yitong suddenly opened the door and looked at Li Yuniang helplessly, "Nuan Nuan just fell asleep." ”

"The official messenger is here, what about the picture she said?" When Li Yuniang saw Chu Yitong, she restrained herself a little and eased her face slightly.

"It took a night to get the picture this morning, I'll pick it up here." Chu Yitong didn't close the door, turned around and went to get the drawings.

Li Yuniang took a step forward, and from her point of view, she just saw Zhu Yuenuan lying peacefully, her slightly loosened eyebrows wrinkled again, and her lips pursed into a straight line.

Chu Erbing, who was on the side, saw it in his eyes, opened his mouth, and closed it again.

"Mother, this is the blueprint of the Nine Dragons lock." Chu Yitong came out again, holding only a thin circle of paper in his hand and handing it to Li Yuniang.

"Alright, you ...... Forget it, you go back to sleep and let her wake up earlier. Li Yuniang took it, glanced at the figure inside again, and hurriedly left.

"Huh~" Chu Erbing looked at Li Yuniang's back, stretched his hands to Chu Yitong, shook his head helplessly, and said silently: "I'm not happy again." ”

Chu Yitong glanced at him, straightened his clothes, came out, and brought the door.

"Uncle, is it done?" Yuecha just took a step.

"Don't worry." Chu Yitong nodded gently, went to wash himself, and after a while, he came out of the kitchen and went to the front shop.

Yuecha stood in front of the door of the study, pondering, not at all relieved.

"Don't worry, my brother has always had a way, besides, if you don't believe my brother, you should also believe in my sister-in-law." Chu Erbing looked at Yuecha on the side, rolled his eyes, and spoke.

"I believe in Miss, and I believe in Uncle." Yuecha nodded and looked up at him, "I'm just worried about ......"

"Worried about what?" Chu Erbing hurriedly asked.

"Nothing." Yuecha just smiled and slowly turned back to the study. (To be continued)
