Chapter Twenty-Eight: Karakuri


The voices of people are full of people, and the pedestrians are weaving.Wei Xi sat in the carriage and looked out through the glass window, but the faces he saw were all with pure cheerful smiles, and then listening to the cries one after another, the whole person also relaxed.Passing by a stall selling sugar paintings, Wei Xi knocked on the carriage door, "Xiao Qi, go buy me a few sugar paintings and come back, and I also need a sugar gourd next to the sugar paintings." ”Xiao Qi responded and jumped out of the carriage quickly.Her young lady likes to buy a lot of snacks while shopping, find a teahouse restaurant and sit down to eat slowly.This unusual preference, Xiao Qi has long been accustomed to it.After buying the sugar paintings and sugar gourds, she saw a stall selling fried chestnuts not far away, and after thinking about it, she went over and bought a bag of fried chestnuts and came back.The carriage continued slowly."

The new rouge gouache, the color is not bad at all with Hexiangzhai, and it is cheaper, ladies and ladies come and take a look!"

Wei Xi was sorting out the piles of snacks that he had bought in the carriage, and he turned his head to look outside when he heard the sound.The stalls selling rouge gouache have always been surrounded by ladies and young ladies in a circle, and at this time, the money is not distressed at all.The stall owner collected the cash neatly, smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth.This is not the first time Wei Xi has seen a vendor selling things under the banner of Hexiangzhai, and when he was about to withdraw his gaze, he saw that not far from this rouge gouache stall, a large group of children also surrounded a stall tightly.But what caught her eye even more was a bird flying above the heads of the children.Woodbirds.However, the wooden bird, which was half an arm's length of a person, flew above everyone's heads with wooden wings, and no one manipulated it, but it did not land for a long time.The children tilted their heads and stared intently at the top of their heads, and their exclamations with their mouths wide open never stopped."

Xiao Qi, go to the stall surrounded by that group of children."

Xiao Qi: "" She still obediently drove the carriage over.As soon as the carriage stopped, Wei Xi opened the carriage door and got out of the carriage.Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba watched as their young lady did not change her face and her heart did not beat, and she calmly blended into the children's pile.A few children who were watching the wooden bird next to them suddenly noticed a good-looking young lady mixed in among them, and silently leaned to the side.Wei Xi walked to the front of the stall, gathered his skirt and squatted down.That's right, this stall, it just uses a piece of cloth and spreads it directly on the ground.The cloth was all made of wood.Lively small animals, flowers and plants, and even well-laid out huts, large garden buildings.But what interests Wei Xi the most is that these are not carved, but cleverly spliced together with pieces of wood.Before getting started, Wei Xi looked at the young man behind the stall who was concentrating on cutting the wood in his hand, "Can I touch the things on the stall?"

”Mo Jiu's hand on the wood paused, and he looked up at the opposite side.The person who saw the questioning was stunned, "You can touch it, but if you accidentally break it, you have to buy it." ”Wei Xi stretched out his hand and directly took a wooden rabbit that was gnawing on a wooden radish on the blanket.Xiao Qi just walked behind her, took a small stool in his hand, and glanced at the rabbit in Wei Xi's hand, "Miss, sit down and play." ”Wei Xi: "" She turned her head and pointed to the children behind her, and stretched out her hand to the corner next to the stall where no one was, "Put it there." ”After sitting down, Wei Xi began to study the rabbit in his hand.Xiao Qi stood behind Wei Xi and watched her young lady pound her hands on the rabbit.She twitched the corner of her mouth and gave Hachi, who was watching the carriage not far away, a look.Miss has encountered something of interest again this time, so let's wait slowly.Fortunately, this rabbit is not too complicated, Wei Xi searched for a while, and finally found out where the mechanism was.Reaching out and flicking the well-hidden wooden stick, the rabbit suddenly changed a movement in her hand, and after being put on the ground by Wei Xi, it began to jump forward.Xiao Qi: "It's weird and interesting, no wonder children like it."

Wei Xi had already reached out and brought the little rabbit over, and after pulling the wooden stick back, the rabbit did not move.Xiao Qi thought that her young lady was done with it, but who expected Wei Xi's amazing operation to come.She started to dismantle the rabbits.When he saw the rabbit that had been dismantled into a pile of broken wood, Xiao Qi had silently taken out the money bag from his arms.Be prepared to lose money.Mo Jiu stopped cutting his own wood when Wei Xi removed the rabbit ears and the radish in its mouth, but turned his head and looked at the hands that dismantled his rabbit silently.When everything was dismantled and the little girl in front of him was sure that he had not damaged any of the wood, he was about to take the pile of broken wood back and put it on himself, but he was blocked.Wei Xi declined the other party's kindness, "Wait, I want to see if I can still install it." ”Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.Although he was a little surprised that this girl could dismantle the rabbit so quickly, he still didn't think that she could still put the rabbit back together as it was.Little by little, time passed.The little ones in front of the stall have already changed rounds.After all, although the things made of wood are beautiful and fun, they are still not as solid as the things that can be eaten in the stomach.Play for a while, and leave when you're not interested.Wei Xi became the one who stayed by the stall for the longest time.Mo Jiu was really a little surprised.From the moment Wei Xi picked up the first piece of wood, he was watching from the side.He made things by himself, naturally knew in what order to put them together, and he was surprised that the girl who said she wanted to try to put them together by herself really put the rabbits together in the same order.Although the spelling was slow, there was not a single wrong step, which was enough to amaze him.This is a girl who has a talent for the art of Karakuri.He made this conclusion in silence, and then he heard a thin cry in the basket next to him.Mo Jiu hurriedly put down the knife and wood in his hand, got up and patted the sawdust on his body, then walked to the side and put it next to the big basket, lifted the layer of quilt covered on it, bent over and skillfully took out a little girl, patted it gently, and whispered: "Brother is here, full of fear." ”Wei Xi put on the carrot that the rabbit ate, and tried again to see if it could still jump like Fang Cai, and after seeing that there was no malfunction, he moved his fingers and stretched his waist a little.Succeed with flying colors.Then I looked up and saw that the young man with cold eyebrows was holding a little girl doll who was almost a year old in his arms, and was whispering coaxing.She turned her head to look at Xiao Qi: What's the situation?

Xiao Qi leaned into Wei Xi's ear and explained: "That little girl doll is the younger sister of the young man, and she just fell asleep in that big basket and just woke up. ”Mo Jiu had already seen the rabbit that had been restored to its original state in the gap between coaxing his sister, and nodded at Wei Xi who stood up, "Miss has already put the rabbit together, it is not damaged, and you don't have to pay." ”Xiao Qi silently stuffed the money bag in his hand back into his arms.Wei Xi looked down at the garden building closest to her, "Boss, how much do you have in this stall?"

”Mo Jiu was stunned, "Which one is Miss referring to?"

”"All."

Mo Jiu: "Xiao Qi, who just put the money bag back in his arms:" "It cost nearly ten taels of silver, and Xiao Qi directly carried the cloth on the ground of others.Wei Xi glanced at the little girl doll in his arms when the young man was free to collect the money.The little girl doll stopped crying, her eyes looked fixedly, and she didn't seem to see anywhere.There was a lot of noise around, and the stall owner next to him was shouting and selling rock sugar gourds, and the children ran over to hand over a penny, and ran away with a string of them.A normal child should subconsciously look curiously in the direction of the sound at this time, but this little girl seems to be deaf and only immersed in her own world.No crying, no laughing, no startling.It's a little out of place.A word flashed through Wei Xi's mind.Autism.Looking at the young man's gentle and patient appearance towards his sister, Wei Xi didn't know if he noticed his sister's abnormality.Maybe I noticed it, or maybe I thought that children were like this.Probably because Wei Xi had been staring at the little girl for a little longer, Mo Jiu subconsciously hugged Man Man tighter, and his eyes were a little more vigilant, "Is there anything else wrong with Miss?"

”Wei Xi pondered the language, "Your sister is very quiet. ”"Well, she's sensible."

Before leaving, Wei Xi still told him what Fang was hesitant to say, "Children who don't react to the outside world, you can talk to her more, even if it's blue today, it's raining today, and it's okay to eat anything today, she actually knows everything, but she can't react to the outside world." ”After Wei Xi finished speaking, he turned around and left, not seeing Mo Jiu standing in place and looking at her for a long time."

Miss, where are we going next?"

Xiao Qi waved the reins in his hand and looked up at the sun again, "It's almost half an hour before noon." ”When Wei Xi returned to the carriage, he saw two large piles inside, "Are there any restaurants around?"

”"There's a gallery building nearby.""

Let's go there, this sugar painting will stick together if you don't eat it."

Xiao Qi twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this.said that the neighborhood is the neighborhood, Wei Xi felt that he had just gotten into the carriage and got off the carriage, and the place had arrived.This is not the time to eat, there are not many people in the building, but she came not only to eat the food in the restaurant, so she asked for a private room on the second floor.Wei Xi followed the shopkeeper up the stairs to the second floor, and before he reached the door of the private room, he was blocked from going."

I've seen Miss Weisan, master, please go and have a cup of tea."

Wei Xi saw Luo Sheng, held her snacks and hesitated for a moment, then turned decisively, "Okay." ”
