Chapter 391 Carpentry

The next day.

Team Zero's training has officially begun.

When the teammates arrived in the morning, the captain and Yun Zhao had already been in the training room for a long time.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the two of them missing yesterday's dinner.

They voluntarily went to the training field to do warm-up exercises.

One morning.

Yun Zhao and Qi Ling were having a knowledge training class in the training room.

The sentries are doing physical training outside.

As for Xie Tu... their always serious and responsible captain, after arranging everyone's training schedule, he left the meeting alone.

Soon, he dragged the sycamore tree he had just cut down to the training ground next door and began chopping wood.

To make it easier to work, he changed into a short-sleeved shirt and loose sweatpants.

Two phoenixes perched on a nearby tree, acting as overseers.

The little bluebird leisurely preened its feathers, occasionally glancing down at Xie Tu to confirm the preliminary preparations.

The two bird stands that Yun Zhao had previously ordered were custom-made, and they arrived ready-made.

The little guy was very curious about this kind of building work from scratch.

Xie Tu chopped the materials, took out his tools from the tool shed, and then sat down under the tree to design the bird pergola.

The little bluebird flew onto the table, buried its head, and stared intently at him as he drew the blueprints.

Xie Tu knew it might not understand, so he patiently explained it to it.

The eight-tiered birdhouse has a very compact layout, with each tier having its own individual play equipment.

The first level features a small maze cleverly constructed from branches of varying thicknesses, with two interconnected frames where two phoenixes can play together.

Each floor has a different structure from bottom to top, with various trampolines, swings, rotating rings, and roller climbing frames.

A miniature harp can be placed on the middle shelf; a gentle touch will produce a clear and melodious sound.

The top floor is an observation deck with no obstructions on all sides, where you can hang many wind chimes.

The little bluebird listened attentively and couldn't wait to speak.

[I want something fun; there are lots of fun things to do.]

Fire Phoenix: [I want something fun, lots of fun things.]

Xie Tu, good-natured, replied, "Okay."

After drawing the blueprints, he began to take out a ruler to measure the wood.

We need to build two frames, which definitely can't be finished in one day. We can only take it slowly. Today we need to get the overall framework done.

The view between the venues is unobstructed.

My teammates were training next door, and I would occasionally turn around and steal a glance.

Seeing that the captain had made the little bluebird very happy, the group of people gaped in disbelief.

"Where did the captain go for further training?"

"If I had known that a mere shelf could win over the little bluebird, I would have made one long ago!"

"The team leader can do carpentry? How come I didn't know?"

Xie Tu seemed to sense something, and his light, fleeting gaze swept over.

A group of people slipped away faster than anyone else, quickly getting back to their training.

It was noon.

When Yun Zhao finished his class and came out, the main trunk of the bird trellis had already been erected.

In field number 3.

Xie Tu had just nailed the base shut when he picked up a dagger from the ground and began to carefully peel away the remaining bark, carving grooves at each connection point.

He looked quite different from his usual self at this moment.

After working all morning, my clothes were covered in dust and I was covered in sawdust.

He seemed oblivious, staring intently at the piece of wood in his hand, his eyes revealing focus and determination.

Yun Zhao wasn't unaware that he was trying to please the little bluebird.

He is taking serious steps to gradually get the arrogant little guy to accept him.

This gave Yun Zhao a feeling that he couldn't quite describe.

A strange emotion seemed to well up deep inside me, more intense than ever before.

She was about to walk over.

"Yun Zhao!"

Duan Xi arrived unnoticed and shouted, "Old Song needs to talk to you."

Yun Zhao was taken aback and had no choice but to stop. "What is it?"

Song Liang was somewhat helpless; he wasn't as clueless as these people.

But having already called out, Song Liang had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over, saying, "My sister already knows about how my brother-in-law almost became deformed. She's very grateful to you and would like to invite you to a simple meal."

When would be a convenient time for you?

He had planned to tell her about this yesterday.

When I came over yesterday, I didn't see anyone.

Having the captain relay the message or send a text message doesn't seem very formal.

Song Liang has been waiting for this day.

Yun Zhao's expression softened: "Is your brother-in-law alright?"

Song Liang chuckled, "He's still doing rehabilitation exercises, and his muscles are still recovering, but he can already hold a gun and shoot targets normally. He'll be almost fully recovered in another month or two."

The distortion was irreversible, but fortunately, the drainage was timely and prevented it from eroding the bone.

Even so, it still takes several months to recover.

"That's good. Getting back to normal is the best thing."

Yun Zhao thought for a moment, "Any day is fine with me. I just wanted to go see your niece."

The birth of a new life is a joyous occasion, and we should go and see it.

Seeing that she agreed, Song Liang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's set it for the night after tomorrow. After training, you and the captain can come together."

Yun Zhao: "Okay."

Xie Tu on the other end had already heard this and nodded.

He put down his tools, stood up, dusted off the wood chips, and walked towards Yun Zhao.

The little bluebird flew to his side, feeling displeased.

Why did it stop?!

Its frame isn't finished yet.

Fire Phoenix: [Why did it stop?!]

Xie Tu patiently replied, "It's noon, I need to cook, I can't let her go hungry."

The little bluebird fell silent.

Carpenters also have another primary job – cooks.

After completing his training for the day, Yun Zhao finally asked to go home.

Bai Yu is still living in her house.

I sent her a message during the day today. I didn't ask anything else, just some interesting gossip from the forum, and casually asked if she was coming back today.

Xie Tu didn't show it, but silently drove her to the Dongshan Street residential area.

There were guests at home, so he couldn't stop her from going back.

He couldn't go upstairs either.

Xie Tu dropped the person off at the residential compound, then turned around and drove to the inner city, intending to find Minister Bai and hope that he could take his daughter back as soon as possible.

In addition, the rooms in the house have no windows.

She doesn't seem to like it.

There was no gate to the backyard, so she had to walk a bit further every day to get food.

He needs to go to the logistics department and ask someone to find a way to open a back door and a few windows for him in that special wall.

As for sound insulation...

There's a noise-reducing room on the first floor of the house, which can create a barrier for him whenever she's around, making his mental state very stable.

There is no longer a need to make the house completely airtight.

Xie Tu had just arrived at Minister Bai's house.

Suddenly I received a message from Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhao: "Bai Yu just told me that Minister Bai came to apologize to her today, saying that Minister Han is going to the Dawn Base next month and plans to take her with him so that she can see the outside world."

Bai Yu didn't go home today; she just wanted to wait for her to come home so she could tell her the good news in person.

at the same time.

Minister Bai had just come out of the gate when he heard that Xie Tu had arrived.

"Did you need something from me?" Minister Bai asked gently.

Xie Tu put down the communicator, looked at Minister Bai, and said calmly, "It's nothing, I just took the wrong turn."

Minister Bai: "..."
