Cheng Shuang still had enough transaction points to spare at the rest stop, so she immediately stood up, ran to the cashier, and called out softly, "I want to buy fabric, Uncle Sun, quickly search, do you sell fabric among the regular items?"
Sun Han was taken aback, but he didn't hesitate and quickly searched the online store. Although there was no fabric available, a shop called "Youjian" Hostel was selling second-hand bedding.
Although it's described as secondhand, the shop owner actually wrote in the notes: "I bought the wrong item. It doesn't match the hostel's style, so it's brand new and has never been used. I'm selling it at half price."
"Buy, buy, buy! Buy them all! I'll take them all!" Cheng Shuang screamed urgently, attracting the attention of everyone in the store. They all looked over and then noticed the broken bear doll in the little girl's hand, and were stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong with the little bear?" Liu Juan realized something was wrong, walked over, touched the little girl's shoulder, and bent down to ask gently.
Liao Yuewei and Siyue also approached her, pulled her to the cashier's chair, and helped her sit down to calm herself down.
Seeing so many people looking at her with concern, Cheng Shuang suppressed the turmoil in her heart, pursed her lips, and gently rubbed the corner of her eye. "To save me, the bear cub was injured and hasn't woken up yet! The attribute version says that the bear cub will only wake up if I give it a skin that I made myself. I need to buy fabric and sew a bear doll."
Upon hearing this, Si Hai and Sun Han frowned simultaneously. Normally, as long as the maintainer's mental strength is intact, the impact on the skill shouldn't be too significant. Even if something unexpected happens, it will generally be directly reflected back to the maintainer. For example, Cheng Shuang experienced visual mosaic, and other dolls like Ke Luo'an showed no abnormalities, which is enough to show that her doll skills are unaffected. The teddy bear shouldn't be in a supposedly dormant state either.
"The bedding isn't expensive, 200 points." After the transaction with the outside world, they still had 230 points left. They originally planned to use them to buy a hot meal before setting off, but now they all nodded in support of Cheng Shuang's purchase of the fabric.
Food can be eaten anytime, but your companions' skills cannot be compromised.
The goods arrived quickly. They were all made of thick velvet, giving off a luxurious feel reminiscent of medieval Europe. The fabric felt very comfortable to the touch. There were two thick folds of fabric in different colors. If you work well, you could sew at least ten different skins for your teddy bear.
The needle and thread were provided by my companions.
The little girl had to sew the dolls herself; none of them had any hands-on experience.
Moreover, since the explanation specifically required her to sew by hand, they didn't even dare to help her thread the needle. They stayed by her side, silently accompanying her. If the little girl pricked her hand, someone would always spray her with hemostatic and anti-inflammatory ointment in time.
Under Liu Juan's guidance, Cheng Shuang disassembled the bedding into complete pieces of fabric. She was quick and efficient; after disassembling one piece, she immediately cut out a rough shape according to the outline of the teddy bear. When sewing it together, she indeed started poking her fingers with the needle.
Finally, Liao Yuewei came up with a silly idea: to wrap the child's ten fingers with bandages.
Cheng Shuang then sewed even faster, paying no attention to the color of the fabric, her heart and eyes filled with the hope that the bear cub would wake up soon.
Cheng Shuang simply couldn't stand the bear cub's continued lifeless and sullen appearance.
If she had never lived before, it wouldn't matter, but the bear cub is already a living being, and her life cannot be without it.
This was the little girl's first time making a doll. She tried her best to sew it in a close and delicate way, but unfortunately, her skills didn't allow it, and the final product didn't resemble a bear at all.
Cheng Shuang was covered in sweat and immediately tried to tear off another piece of fabric, but Du Jun stopped her.
"Shuangshuang, calm down!" Du Jun said coldly, grabbing the little girl's wrist and staring at her with his peach blossom eyes. "What good things can you make when you're all flustered? Since it's bear skin, with such big stitches, if it comes back to life, it'll leak cotton everywhere. Are you at ease with that?"
Straight men, as usual, directly hit the sore spot.
Cheng Shuang looked up, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, her little nose red, and she pitifully murmured, "But I don't know how!"
Du Jun immediately shut his mouth, feeling a pang of regret. He wished he could take the blame himself, but alas, he wouldn't...
The adults were both amused and exasperated, feeling a strange sense of helplessness in urging the children to do their homework. Besides complaining that the teacher (at the rest stop) had assigned too much homework that was beyond the curriculum, they also felt a pang of pity for the children.
"Ask the Lost Monster and Dragon Flame, they should have lived quite a long time, maybe they have some... experience!" Du Lushui didn't know what nonsense she was talking about, but seeing the little girl on the verge of tears, it was truly heartbreaking.
This child is usually sensible and obedient, but occasionally loses control, only when absolutely necessary.
Normally, Cheng Shuang would have thought things through, but now she simply summoned all the dolls, including Tao, lined them up, and, barely suppressing her tears, asked with a slight sob, "Do you know how to make a teddy bear?"
"Sigh?" The sullen monster let out two loud sighs and slowly shook its head.
Luo An rubbed his little hands nervously and shook his head.
Dragon's Flame... Cheng Shuang skipped it directly. A dragon whose original form was stone and could only breathe fire probably wouldn't have a chance to be sewn up.
Long Zhiyan immediately became angry. After letting out a howl, he suddenly held his breath, turned his head away dejectedly, and for some reason, retreated to a corner to face the wall.
The others who witnessed this scene twitched at the corners of their mouths. Clearly, this dragon still remembered how cowardly he had been to seek comfort in Cheng Shuang's arms. Was he too ashamed to show his face?
If it always behaves so restrained, the little girl will have an easier time.
Cheng Shuang looked at Tao with hopeful eyes.
