Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 132 Sheep Saddle
Li Hongbing looked around and found that there was one person missing from the entrance to the courtyard.

Miss Cui is not at home?
Shan Xing brought the washbasin, "Wash your face, put noodles in the pot, and you can eat them later."

"Where's Miss Cui?"

After Li Hongbing washed his face, he put the towel back in the basin and asked casually.

Shan Xing hesitated for a moment, then secretly glanced at Brother Hongbing.

"Sister Cui moved back to the village to live. It's been two days since you returned to the city. Sister Cui came back from the school construction site in a bad mood, so she asked Uncle Huaizhong to rent a house in the village."

Oh!
Li Hongbing didn't have any mood swings, he just let out a faint "Oh" and patted his stomach.

"The noodles are not ready? I'm hungry."

"I'll go serve it right away." Shan Xing turned and walked towards the kitchen with a somewhat apprehensive expression.

Looking at Shan Xing's staggering back.

Li Hongbing sighed silently.

Why Sister Cui moved away, I can more or less guess some reasons.

how to say!

It was nothing more than gossip in the village, which started to appear when Sister Cui moved into the old house, but Li Hongbing never cared about it.

A woman from another village lived in Li Hongbing's house. If Li Hongbing was in the village, those gossip old women would definitely not dare to say anything, and would follow her for more than a week.

The old women who are idle and have nothing to do will start to chew their teeth, maybe it will be as bad as it sounds.

Blocking is worse than sparse, the old ladies in the village have said enough, and soon there will be a new rumor.

Forget it, I'll find out when I go to the village tomorrow.

The noodles came out steaming hot.

There are lard flowers, green wild onion flowers, and hot and sour pickled wild vegetables floating on the fragrant handmade noodles.

There is also a plate of sugared persimmons and a plate of cold cucumbers

Li Hongbing opened his index finger wide, calling Anna who was playing in the yard to eat.

The square table was placed under the old oak tree.

Li Hongbing asked after drinking the last sip of noodle soup beautifully.

"Is there anything going on at home these two days since I left?"

Blind man, "The Luo's house in Shilipu came to visit and brought a lot of gifts, saying that they are thanks to the grandfather for his help."

Shan Xing, "A lot of people from other villages came to see Brother Hongbing for medical treatment, and they will go back when you are not here."

Blind man, "By the way, a few mountain people came to the house two days ago, offered incense to the old man, and said that the old man invited you to go to Qinglong Mountain when he came back."

Li Hongbing nodded as he listened. The Luo family came to give a gift to show that his video was useful. As for whether to go to Qinglong Mountain or not, to be honest, he didn't want to go, and the older generation's grievances and grievances were left to the older generation to resolve.

……

night.

After Anna fell asleep in the fairy tale, Li Hongbing quietly walked out of the room and tiptoed to Shanxing's door like a thief.

In the darkness, Dahua heard the movement and saw her master's sneaky movements, rolled her eyes helplessly, and continued to doze off.

Li Hongbing pushed and found that the door was unlocked.

Hehe smiled, pushed the door open and entered.

Shan Xing sat on the head of the bed, looking at Li Hongbing shyly.

"Is Anna asleep?"

"Sleep."

"Or don't do it tonight."

"It's okay, I'll just check."

"Really?"

"True than gold."

"Ok!"

The night is very charming tonight.

listen!
The nightingale sang a sweet song, which was sad and melancholy at first.

Suddenly, the sad and gloomy singing turned into a cheerful tone, like a ding-dong spring pouring down smoothly.

two hours later.

Li Hongbing walked out of the room with exhaustion in his eyes. Shan Xing's waist and legs were crushed by the beams, but he didn't receive proper treatment at that time, resulting in dislocation of muscles and bones, and muscle stiffness.

Although Wuqinxi is practiced every day, the dislocated muscles and bones need to be adjusted again, and the loose and stiff muscles and sticky soft tissues should be pushed away.

This process requires Li Hongbing to expend a lot of energy and skills, and to maintain a high degree of concentration throughout the process.

……

The next morning.

Lazy sunlight came in from the window, the air was filled with the smell of spring grass, and the birds were chirping and chirping cheerfully.

Whoa whoa!
The chirping of the great white cockatoo echoed over the old house.

Anna sat up sleepily and looked around, her father had long since disappeared.

He put on his clothes quickly and ran out of the room with short legs.

Dad, Aunt Shanxing, the blind brother, and the silly brother stood and danced in the yard.

The movements are very interesting, like a big tiger for a while, a monkey for a while, and a bird for a while.

The more Anna watched, the more amusing she became. She quickly ran to her father and followed her father's movements to dance.

Morning practice is over.

Shan Xing brought out breakfast from the kitchen.

Steamed steamed buns, buns, and fresh vegetable soup from the vegetable garden.

Had breakfast.

Li Hongbing planned to take a trip to the village, to see Sister Cui, to see how the school was doing, and then to discuss with Tie Zhu about the courtyard wall.

"Ni'er, you will go to the village with Dad later, or stay at home to play."

"Follow me, ride a sheep."

Anna pointed to Black Horn who was kissing my daughter-in-law in the barn, and Black Horn was lying on the back of the ewe, looking at Anna with a dazed expression.

"Okay, ride a sheep." How could Li Hongbing, a spoiled girl, refuse her daughter's request and wave to the barn.

"Black Horn, come here."

Baa?

Heijiao reluctantly let go of the ewe, walked up to the owner, and Li Hongbing gestured the width of Heijiao's shoulders and back a few times, "Blind man, bring some wood, I'll make a saddle for the sheep."

What is a sheep saddle?
The blind man brought tools and wood from the utility room in confusion, and the silly boy squatted beside him curiously.

Li Hongbing used wood to choose a good position on the back of the black horn, and then used the wood to form a convex shape, but the idea was very good, but his hands-on ability was limited.

Several times of assembly were either crooked or short. The wood cost a lot, but the sheep saddle was nowhere in sight.

The blind man, who couldn't stand it any longer, took the tool, "Grandpa, I'll do what you say."

Li Hongbing smiled awkwardly.

Get charcoal from the kitchen and draw a sketch on the slate.

Similar to a saddle, but without the saddle bridge at both ends of the saddle, the whole is divided into two saddle pads, connected with a wide leather in the middle, leaving a certain gap for the black-horned spine.

Listen to the design ideas.

The blind man thought for a moment, then went to Shan Xing to discuss it, then turned around and took out a piece of sheepskin from the utility room. This was given to him by Li Hongbing when he was treating a villager.

Charcoal simply draws the outline of two saddle pads on the sheepskin, and the scissors click to cut out the shape, and then cut the shoulder straps and straps.

Next, the work was handed over to Shan Xing, who turned the sheepskin upside down, made the wool lining and sewed it into a saddle pad, and then stuffed the excess sheepskin into the pad as a padding.

The saddle pad is ready, and the next process is handed over to Shawa. Shawa uses a round wooden stick to press the saddle pad hard to make the filling more compact.

All the sheep saddle parts are done, and finally it is assembled.

Put the saddle pad on the back of the black horn, adjust the position, fasten the shoulder straps, and tie the straps.

With the efforts of everyone, a pair of sheep saddles is freshly released.

Black Horn found that there was a strange thing on his back, which was very uncomfortable, and he jumped back and forth trying to get rid of the sheep saddle.

Snapped!
Li Hongbing directly sent out a big bag, "Noire, what's the matter with letting Anna ride, you are still an older brother. Be good, be obedient, and reward you with half a basket of carrots after riding."

baa baa!

Black Horn was extremely wronged.

Honestly stood where he was, bleating and yelling, he was not doing it for carrots, but purely caring for his sister.

"I know, Heijiao is the best." Li Hongbing praised Heijiao hypocritically, while picking up Anna who was a little scared, put her on Heijiao's back, and fixed the leggings.

"Take a few steps and see, Nier, don't be afraid, hold on to the rope."

baa baa!

Heijiao walked slowly in the yard. At first, Anna was extremely nervous, her little face turned pale with fright. As she got used to it, Heijiao gradually accelerated.

Anna rode on Black Horn, laughing like silver bells.
