Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

"Shouxu, what kind of reward do you think I can give the children this time besides those dolls?"

Qiuyue asked while slowly placing the mahjong tiles. Zhang Shouxu was slightly stunned, then said, "The children are very interested in your story, sister. Why don't you tell them some things they haven't heard of, such as what it will be like a thousand years from now, and what fun things there are. I think the children will like it very much."

Qiuyue thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, although the children won't be able to live to a thousand years from now, I can tell them about things that will happen a thousand years from now, just as if I were telling them a story. But if that happens, wouldn't everyone win a prize? Are there any other special rewards for them?"

Zhang Shouxu raised his eyes to look at Qiuyue and said, "Sister, the children all like you very much. They will like anything you give them, so don't worry about what to give them. As long as it comes from you, they will be very happy when they receive it." Me too, I will like it too...

Zhang Shouxu's words gave Qiuyue a lot of ideas, but she felt a little distressed after thinking about it. It was because she had clumsy hands and seemed to have no other skills except drawing talismans.

After much thought, Qiuyue finally took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. She wanted to try again to see if she could draw a picture. Of course, the person chosen to be the model was only Zhang Shouxu. After all, he was the only one in the hall.

Zhang Shouxu's eyes lit up at this, and he hugged Qiuyue and said, "Sister, can you give me the painting you drew?"

"But, but I just tried it out, I'm sure the result won't be very pretty."

Qiuyue was already used to him hugging her at every turn, and she hesitated in response to his request. Zhang Shouxu said excitedly, "It's okay, sister. I don't mind. You drew this for me, and I'll like it no matter what it looks like!"

Zhang Shouxu looked like a boy who knew he was about to get the gift he wanted most, or just like Zhang Zhenxian and others who were eager to get a rag doll in the image of Qiuyue. His eyes were shining with anticipation and excitement. Seeing him like this, how could Qiuyue not respond? She nodded repeatedly and agreed to his request.

Alas, who would have the heart to refuse such a small request from a boy who is in need of love!

Zhang Shouxu was so excited to be a model for Qiuyue that he would have started to unbuckle his belt if Qiuyue hadn't stopped him in time.

"Stop, stop, stop, you don't have to take off your clothes, why should you? Hurry, put them on!"

Qiuyue blushed and grabbed his hand that was about to untie his belt. Her tone was panicked. Zhang Shouxu was pulled over obediently and looked at her innocently and said, "Sister, don't you want a model?"

"They want models, but they didn't say they want nude models. Listen up, hurry up and get dressed!"

Qiuyue never imagined that Zhang Shouxu would actually want to take off his clothes to be a model. She even started to doubt herself. Could it be that in ancient times, people had to take off their clothes to be models?!

"Oh……"

Zhang Shouxu seemed to be extremely regretful as he tied his belt again. Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and did not notice the smile in Zhang Shouxu's eyes.

Doesn't he know that he doesn't have to take off his clothes?

He just wanted to tease his beloved baby, what's wrong with that?

"Just sit here, be good."

Qiuyue pulled him to the chair and asked him to sit down, then subconsciously touched his head. Zhang Shouxu lowered his head and let Qiuyue touch him, with his legs closed and his hands on his knees. He looked particularly well-behaved and obedient. Seeing this, Qiuyue nodded with relief and came to the painting position and sat down.

This time Qiuyue didn't plan to draw realistic paintings. She felt that she might be more suitable for drawing Q-version characters, because she could use her ability to change clothes infinitely to make Q-version cartoon dolls, so it shouldn't be too difficult to draw the same one. What's more, her ability to draw lines is still very good. After all, the ability to draw talismans requires solid skills!

After deciding what kind of painting she wanted to draw, Qiuyue took the brush and began to try to paint. However, when she really started to try to paint, Qiuyue felt that she might have thought too beautifully.

She wanted to draw a picture without any mistakes, but there was no way to withdraw the brush after it was started. In addition, due to the nature of the ink, if the brush was left for too long, it would leave a big black spot on the paper. Every time Qiuyue came to a part she didn't understand, she would hesitate, and this would ruin the whole painting. If she wanted to continue painting, she had to use new paper.

Qiuyue looked at the crooked painting in front of her and felt that this was not a good way to do it. No matter how hard someone who had never learned to paint tried to draw, it would just be a waste of white paper. It was impossible to draw a beautiful picture out of thin air. She had to think of another way.

"Emm, Shouxu."

Qiuyue put down the brush in her hand, frowned slightly and called out. Zhang Shouxu immediately stood up and walked over: "I'm here, sister, are you done painting?"

"No, the drawing is ruined. I need something new to start with."

Qiuyue sighed softly and pulled the paper aside. Zhang Shouxu glanced at the person on the paper who looked very similar to the rag doll he got last night. He didn't think it was ugly, but he still reached out and hugged Qiuyue. He lowered his head and touched the top of her head, saying, "Sister, if you need anything, I'll get it for you."

Qiuyue was already used to his behavior of hugging people at every turn, so she said, "Please get me some charcoal, the black kind, not too much. I plan to use it to paint."

"Charcoal...I understand, sister. Wait for me."

Zhang Shouxu kissed the top of the head of the person in his arms silently, then let go of his hand and disappeared on the spot. Qiuyue did not notice this. She took a new piece of paper and put it on the table, then took out the doll made in her own image that she was going to give to the little official. She planned to draw according to the proportions of the doll while watching Zhang Shouxu. Now she lacked charcoal for drafting.

In fact, if you want to draw normally, you should use a pencil, but this is ancient times, where there are no such things as pencils, so you can only use charcoal instead. And when using charcoal to draft, you can't use too much force, otherwise it will accidentally stain the paper. She just wanted to use it for drafting, not to use charcoal directly to paint. There is still a difference between the two.

Zhang Shouxu came back quickly, carrying a basket of charcoal in his hand, as well as some bamboo sticks and cloth. This made Qiuyue a little confused, but she soon knew what they were used for.

Zhang Shouxu tied the crushed charcoal blocks to one end of a bamboo stick. The charcoal blocks were used as the pen tip and the bamboo stick was used as the pen body. This is simply a simplified version of a charcoal pencil!

“Sister, here, so you don’t get your hands dirty.”

Zhang Shouxu wiped the bamboo stick clean before handing it to Qiuyue. Qiuyue couldn't help but feel touched. This was the best behavior of her brother.

"Thank you Shouxu."

Qiuyue thanked him with a frown, and Zhang Shouxu shook his head slightly with a smile on his lips: "I just don't want to get my hands dirty." Other things are another matter~

"Shou Xu is so nice."

Qiuyue couldn't help but praise him, and Zhang Shouxu's smile became even wider. He leaned down and gently touched Qiuyue, then returned to his seat. The reason why he didn't hug her directly this time was naturally because his hands were still black after touching the charcoal, and he didn't want to dirty her clothes, so he didn't reach out this time.

After seeing Zhang Shouxu sit down, Qiuyue took this alternative charcoal pencil and began to try to make a draft. The charcoal pencil did not disappoint. Qiuyue got the hang of it right away, which was completely different from painting with a brush.

The hard tip of the pen can well control the strength of the strokes, and you don't have to pay attention to it all the time like with a brush. Even if you pause, there will be no ink smudging. It is simply the best brush for painting. After a round of drafts, I didn't want to use a brush to paint Qiuyue anymore.

The superb line-drawing ability developed from drawing talismans + the smooth brushstrokes of charcoal + the proportions of the puppet's facial features and limbs + reference to Zhang Shouxu's appearance = an incredibly cute cartoon Q-version character pattern!

Qiuyue became happier and happier the more she drew, because she found that she could really draw cute Q-version characters. As long as she practiced a few more times, she would be able to draw very cute pictures!

Zhang Shouxu, who had been motionless since he sat down, was now filled with joy. He stared at the person in front of him who was concentrating on painting. The tenderness and tenderness in his eyes were almost drowning. However, every time Qiuyue raised her head to look at him, he would lower his eyes in time to cover up his feelings, completely hiding his love and not letting her notice anything unusual.

What made Zhang Shouxu feel the sweetest was that Qiuyue always looked at his face and body carefully while painting because she used him as a model. That straightforward look always made him extremely excited. It was only because of the crazy energy running in his body that he did not show his ugly appearance in front of her. But even so, a large area of ​​the tattoo under his clothes had already emerged. Fortunately, he was wearing a high-necked shirt today, otherwise the tattoo on his neck would definitely be discovered.

I haven’t drawn for a long time since I started writing (sigh)

I'm going to see if I can draw some illustrations after finishing this article (I'm just kidding, but it may not come true, hehehe)
