After the rain clouds cleared, the signal got better.
Ruan Qing was afraid that there would be no signal again, so he spoke quickly to inform Ruan Xiangyun: "Yes, it's the Savage Temple. Didn't I get saved by someone? They are people from the Taoist temple. I'm in the Taoist temple now. No, no, Don't come here today. We won't be able to get there before dark. It's quite far here. I'll send you a location and we'll have a phone call tomorrow morning to check on the situation."
They must be allowed to come, but they cannot climb mountains in the dark and at night. She and Twenty-Seven must also be given time to clean up the Taoist temple.
After hanging up the phone, she told: "They won't be here until tomorrow. But I don't know how long it will take them to get here."
Twenty-seven said: "They are mountain people, and their walking speed should be faster than yours. If we set out in the morning, they can reach here at about... three or four o'clock in the afternoon."
Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "That should be enough time."
"That's enough." Twenty-seven nodded, "Let's start now."
"Then I..." Ruan Qing asked, "What should I do?"
Twenty-seven laughed: "Just sit still."
There is sunshine, and it is warmer outside than inside. Twenty-seven brought a chair out from the monastery and gave it to her: "You can enjoy some sunshine."
Ruan Qing watched helplessly as these purely natural things were processed in his hands and turned into tools that humans could use.
Ruan Qing never imagined that being a killer in ancient times required knowing so many things. And I feel like I can’t do it if my brain is weak.
These potatoes are muddy and they were dug out of the ground. In other words, Twenty-seven identified the leaf stems on the ground.
When he came back, he rolled up his sleeves, first cut off the big tree branches, stacked the thin branches together, and then cut a stick. Split the cane into thin strips, tie the branches to wooden sticks with the thin cane, and you have a simple broom.
"It's amazing, you can even recognize potatoes." Ruan Qing said.
Among the many learning materials she found for Twenty-Seven, there was a video that specifically talked about which of our common foods are alien species.
It’s like watching a live broadcast from the front row.
It rained heavily and the yard was muddy. Not easy to clean up.
"It's necessary." Twenty-seven said, "If you don't remember these, if you accidentally eat something while walking, you will be easily poisoned. Sometimes you need herbs, and you have to dig them yourself. How can you do it if you don't know them?"
He went into the house first and swept everything that was still intact and not collapsed. The grass was pulled out from between the floor tiles.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. The first thing Twenty-Seven did was to find a stone, soak it in standing water, and roughen the ax and sickle.
Ruan Qing couldn't do anything, so he took out his mobile phone and played games for a while.
Twenty-seven took all the potatoes and corn to the backyard, not knowing what to do.
"I would sleep on that hard kang, which would be better than this one." Ruan Qing insisted.
Ruan Qing was going crazy: "No! I don't want it!"
sharp.
But he came back with several potatoes and corn in his clothes.
In fact, seeing that Zaojiao could build a coffin and carve a stone tablet for himself, he guessed that there must be relatively complete tools in the temple. Taoist priests live in seclusion in remote mountains, so they must rely on themselves for many things. People at that time were often proficient in many crafts.
When Twenty-Seven jumped into the yard again, he carried a large tree branch and several long vines. He said: "We found the vegetable patch."
Twenty-seven said: "The shortage is terrible and needs to be dealt with."
Including potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, etc.
He first went to each room and rummaged through it, and as expected, he found some tools.
Twenty-seven pinched it and looked at Ruan Qing: "Can I make it for you tonight?"
Twenty-seven can remember them all after reading them once, and can still recognize them when they encounter them.
The problem is, even if Ruan Qing watches this kind of video, it is impossible to remember the appearance of the stems and leaves of these plants.
Then the twenty-seventh began.
Twenty-seven found basically a complete set of traditional carpentry tools and masonry tools, including axes, kitchen knives, hatchets, sickles, hoes and the like.
Many of the iron tools were rusty, and some even had broken wooden handles.
Then jump outside the wall.
It feels like following a video of renovating old items for survival in the wild.
Some tattered cotton wool was unearthed from the house. It should be the remnants of the quilt after it rotted away. Dark and hard.
He continued to use the hatchet to cut large tree branches, and replaced new handles for the ax and sickle. Just now, while trying to chop down this big tree branch, the handle of the ax broke. The sickle one didn't look good either, so I replaced it with a new one.
Ruan Qingdan knew that being the top brothel in ancient times required a high level of proficiency in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as literary talent.
Ruan Qing admitted: "Yes."
The kang was made of bricks, and the things on it had long since rotted away. At that time, Nianqi threw it out, wiped the surface of the kang, and burned it again. I took Ruan Qing over to get rid of the bugs and smell.
The Taoist priests are self-sufficient and cultivate wasteland in the mountains. Later, saponin was grown by one person and became the main source of food.
Ruan Qing would rather die: "Then I don't want it either!"
27Yile: "You only know the dishes in the supermarket, right?"
Tomatoes and peppers can be identified by their fruits. It is impossible for Ruan Qing to remember what potatoes and sweet potatoes look like on the ground.
Twenty-seven said: "Let's wait until the yard is dry before doing it."
Twenty-seven said: "That kang is very hard, you can't stand it."
I don’t know how many insects and bacteria there are in the broken cotton wool.
"Okay." Twenty-seven threw the rotten cotton wool into the fire and burned it.
But he found the haystack from the woodshed. He came out with hay in his arms and said happily: "I can spread this for you."
Ruan Qing hesitated. "While there is sunshine now, let's dry it quickly." He promised, "It will be fine once it's in the sun. I threw away all the moldy ones. This is the best one I picked."
Indeed, he might not be able to bear it if he just lay down on the hard bed. Ruan Qing agreed.
Twenty-seven flew to the roof of the main hall in front and spread hay on the ridge to dry in the sun. That is the highest place in the entire temple, the place that receives the most sunlight and is the first to dry out.
Interestingly, while Twenty-Seven was busy cleaning up, a group of chickens ran out of several half-collapsed houses. These guys might have been hiding from the rain inside before, but now that the rain has stopped, they run out chattering to catch insects.
Ruan Qing looked interesting and laughed. He took out the bread from his backpack and broke it into pieces to feed the chickens.
Twenty-seven turned around to take a look while he was busy, and felt that the scene was so peaceful. When he looked at Ruan Qing now, he had filters in his eyes. The picture in front of him could be said to be that men farmed and women weaved.
Twenty-seven was the first to clean up the monastery because Ruan Qing had to stay at night, which was a necessity. After finishing cleaning up the monastery, he went to the front to clean up the main hall and side rooms of Sanqing Hall.
The ragged futons were burned, a few tables were wiped, and the shelves were put in place. The broken statue threw the fragments outside the courtyard wall, and the large half of the statue was placed next to the Sendai and kept.
The tattered clothes on the statue were torn off and burned, and the dust was wiped off.
The candlesticks were set up, the weeds were pulled, and the entire ground was swept. The fire made earlier was disposed of and the ashes were collected.
Although it is still dilapidated, the desolation has become much less desolate and it has become slightly more popular.
I cleaned up the middle courtyard first, then the front hall, and finally the back courtyard.
The situation in the backyard was very bad because the grains stored there were too much rotten and moldy. Along with it comes the problem of bugs.
Twenty-seven ran back and forth between the front and back yards, and specifically told Ruan Qing: "Don't go to the back."
Ruan Qing asked: "What's wrong?"
Twenty-seven said: "There are insects."
After coming to this Taoist temple, no, I have seen many bugs since entering the mountain. But Twenty-seven didn't say anything.
Now he actually warned Ruan Qing about the bugs, and Ruan Qing was furious: "Are there a lot of them?"
Twenty-seven didn't tell her, just said: "Anyway, don't go back."
He took the branches and drove the chickens to the backyard: "Go, let's eat."
"Come on!" Ruan Qing also encouraged the chicken warriors.
Get rid of pests!
Fortunately, this is a Taoist temple, and Taoist priests must have some things like lime, saltpeter, and even sulfur.
Twenty-seven found a lot of useful things in the collapsed warehouse.
"Don't be afraid." He said, "If you sprinkle it with these, you won't be afraid."
Ruan Qing knew nothing about those things except lime.
But when Twenty-Seven smelled it and twirled his fingers, he knew what it was. Many things were agglomerated, so he found a stone mortar and smashed them into powder again. If you are pressed for time, you don’t need to be too meticulous, as long as it works.
In front of Ruan Qing, he asked Ruan Qing to watch him slide the powder along the walls and sprinkle it inside and outside the monastery where she was going to live.
Ruan Qing felt more at ease, but still asked: "Will it work?"
Twenty-seven assured: "It will work, don't worry."
Ruan Qing decided to believe in the wisdom of the ancients.
Twenty-seven took those things and ran to the backyard to tinker with them.
When it got dark, I came back, made a small broom with a branch, and brushed several jars. The old moss has been scraped away.
There is a well in the middle courtyard. But things like water wells must be cleared regularly, otherwise the water will be undrinkable. There is still a windlass on the well, but the rope is rotten. There was a wooden barrel next to the well that was completely moldy.
Twenty-seven cleaned the barrel and used the remaining rattan as a rope to tie it to draw water. But the water drawn from the well was turbid.
He told him, "Just use it for sweeping. Don't drink it, it will make you upset."
Ruan Qing felt that there was something wrong with Nianqi's brain. She said, "Even if you put a knife to my neck, there is no way I would drink that."
But she suddenly remembered something and quickly rummaged through her bag: "Oops, we're going to have no water to drink."
"It's okay. Give me the bottle." Twenty-seven said, "There are springs and streams outside. You can drink from that. Pure mountain spring water is purer than what you sell in bottles."
The kind in the bottle, when Twenty-Seven drank it, it didn't taste like mountain spring water.
He didn't know that many so-called "mineral waters" were just pure water with artificially added electrolytes and minerals.
Before it was completely dark, he jumped over the wall again.
But this time he asked Ruan Qing to free up his backpack for him, and he went there carrying the bag.
The sky was getting a little dark, and Ruan Qing was a little scared. Fortunately, Twenty-seven came back soon.
"It's not far away. It's next to the vegetable field." He said, "The Taoist priests opened the field where there is a water source."
So he picked a lot of vegetables and fruits and came back.
He said, "I've washed it over there and you can eat it directly."
It's nothing to put in his backpack. The problem is that he also carried back a huge winter melon.
Ruan Qing was speechless: "How do you eat this?"
"I won't eat this." Twenty-seven said, "It's just for show in the kitchen."
Ruan Qing: "..."
When it comes to cheating, she really has to give in!
