The snake-beastman's expression softened, and he gently patted her head.
"When a female is pregnant, she should stay home and rest. Even if the sky falls, the male will hold it up. Do you understand?"
"Okay," Si Yan replied obediently.
When I built the Wise Man's Bridge, it was because I was sure that my abilities were sufficient and that it would not pose any danger.
During this heavy rainy season, she, being female, is really not of much use.
Instead of trying to be a hero and going out to help others, you should stay home and prepare for childbirth.
"Jin Tong, are you feeling alright? Can you get some rain on you?" Si Yan asked Jin Tong outside.
Jin Tong approached with a smile and said, "Of course, what do you need me to do?"
The snake squinted at the golden boy with displeasure.
Even though he knew perfectly well that he was Si Yan's brother.
But I still felt a pang of sadness and discomfort in my heart.
Wang gently gripped Si Yan's shoulder, reminding her that she could ask him for help if she needed it, instead of asking other males.
Si Yan was so engrossed that she didn't receive Wang's warning.
She picked up a twig and drew on the ground.
"Jin Tong, go downstairs later and help me build a ditch so the water from the wine shop can flow down it. That way, there won't be any water accumulation in front of the wine shop. But building a ditch is a bit dirty. Can you do it?"
Jin Tong nodded. "No problem, I'll go right away."
Jin Tong whittled a wooden board into a shovel, and then, following Si Yan's instructions, dug a water channel around the wine shop.
Because of this canal, the water flow next to the wine shop is smoother, making it relatively drier and the environment much more comfortable.
The rain was so heavy that the wooden house, which was surrounded by trees, started to leak.
The males in the tavern braved the rain to go out, smear mud on the roof, and then covered it with large leaves.
Aya moved all the ground flour that had been stored in the kitchen back to the liquor store and found a dry place where it wouldn't leak.
As for the four little ones, since their mother was rarely free at home, they seized the opportunity to pester Si Yan.
"Mother, look! This is the portrait the Golden Dragon Clan gave you!" Bei Ji exclaimed excitedly.
"portrait?"
The four children eagerly presented the wooden plaques to Si Yan, as if they were treasures.
Si Yan picked up the wooden sign and her expression immediately changed. Her ahoge (cowlick) stood up and jumped up. She said with a complicated expression, "This is me?..."
"Yes, yes." The four little ones were very excited, even though they didn't think it was true.
Si Yan put down the wooden sign and sighed helplessly.
The art style of the Beast World is truly indescribable.
She smiled and said, "Everyone is busy now, but Mother is very free. I'll teach you how to draw."
"Okay!" "Great!!"
Since there was no white drawing paper, Si Yan found a larger piece of wood.
Since she didn't have any paintbrushes, Si Yan went to the kitchen and found some charcoal to make charcoal pencils.
Today, due to the heavy rain, there weren't many customers buying alcohol. Si Yan went to the lobby on the first floor, hung up the wooden board, and began to teach, stroke by stroke.
"I'll teach you how to draw solid geometric shapes first."
"Mommy, what are solid geometric figures?"
Si Yan smiled and said, "A solid geometric figure is a geometric figure whose parts are not on the same plane. It is a three-dimensional figure that can exist in real life and is enclosed by one or more faces. A figure whose parts are all on the same plane is called a plane figure."
"The geometric shapes we'll be drawing most often in the future include cylinders, cones, spheres, prisms... As we draw them, Mommy will explain them to you."
As she spoke, she began to draw on the wooden board.
She drew a cube.
The kids didn't quite understand when I first started drawing.
But when the cube was drawn, the kids were all stunned.
"this……"
"It feels like it's right in front of me, like it's a real thing."
"They really aren't on the same plane. So that's what it means to be on different planes."
"How did you do that?"
Mommy, you're amazing!
Si Yan smiled and said, "What Mother drew is called a sketch. You see, when drawing a sketch, you have to pay attention to the weight of the lines, the changes in light and shadow, and the effects of light and shadow."
Si Yan casually pointed to a table and said, "Look, the side with the light is bright, while the side without the light is dark, and also the edges and contours..."
Si Yan explained the details step by step, guiding the children to analyze an item together.
Finally, she said, "You can start practicing in a moment. When you practice, pay attention to the outline of the objects and the light and shadow. After you finish the first drawing, start practicing the lines, drawing one stroke at a time, like this. You must control each stroke well."
Bi Yao, hiding in a corner, watched Si Yan give the kids an art lesson.
My eyes were red, a mixture of anticipation and envy.
Although his sister criticized and scolded him yesterday, he wasn't angry with her at all.
Now he feels he really wants to join in and listen to his sister's lessons with the four little ones.
When the males are busy inside and outside the house, they feel a sense of peace when they see Si Yan teaching the babies in the hall.
The wise man Gray Bird of Beast City had already sent word that the wild beasts floating in the flood should not be eaten, and the floodwater on the ground should not be drunk.
Eat freshly hunted animals and drink heavenly water.
The snake-beastman returned from the rain, having hunted a huge, fresh prey, which he showed to Si Yan.
Si Yan stared intently at the prey Wang had brought back. The prey was well-preserved; the internal organs, head, and tail that Si Yan wanted were all intact.
