His sleeves fluttered in the wind, and in a few seconds, he had five or six slender poplar roots in his hands.
Jing Xuan's eyes were as gentle as water, and he said softly, "Please choose one, Miss Xie."
Xie Ling picked up a poplar branch in confusion.
Jingxuan took out a small knife from his sleeve and began to peel the bark of the poplar branches that Xie Ling had chosen and carved them...
After about half an hour, the rough poplar branch turned into an exquisite wooden hairpin in the young man's bony hands.
Jing Xuan handed the wooden hairpin to Xie Ling and chuckled: "I just borrowed your wooden hairpin in the tomb, and now I'm returning one to you."
"Ah?" Xie Ling took it woodenly. She really didn't expect that Jing Xuan asked her to wait just to do this.
When I raised my eyes, the young man had already turned around.
His tall figure was lost in the bustling crowd, and his voice was clear and unrestrained.
"Thank you, Miss. See you again if we are lucky."

When Xie Ling was going back, she passed by the morning market and bought breakfast.
At the door of the inn, I saw a young boy squatting there from a distance.
When Xie Ling got closer, she realized it was Gu Li, who was brushing his snow boots in a basin of water.
Seeing Xie Ling approaching, he looked up, his cold face turned into a young smile, "Sister-in-law, have you gone to buy breakfast?"
Xie Ling nodded, looking at Gu Li's red hands with some heartache, "You silly boy, why are you cleaning your shoes in such a cold weather? Won't they get dirty again when you go out later?"
Gu Li scratched his head and said, "I had nothing to do, and when I saw everyone's shoes were dirty, I got up and cleaned them."
Xie Ling grabbed his collar and said, "Stop brushing. Go back and eat. After that, I'll take you shopping."
Gu Li pointed at the snow boots and shouted, "Sister-in-law, there is still a pair that hasn't been washed!"
Inside the house, the Pei family had already gotten up, and Qiuyue just came over with a basin of hot water from the side room.
After washing up, the family started to have breakfast.
Pei looked at the wooden hairpin on Xie Ling's bun, her eyes lit up, "Ling'er, where did you get this hairpin?"
Xie Ling thought for a moment and said, "A friend gave it to me."
Pei's eyes were gentle. "This craft looks so familiar. When the general was still alive, he often carved wooden hairpins for me. Not only did he carve them himself, he also forced Shi Jin and Li Ge'er to learn how to do it, saying that he could carve for their wives when they got married..."
Xie Ling opened her almond-shaped eyes slightly and dropped the meat bun in her hand to the ground. "You mean, Gu Wei can also carve wooden hairpins?"
