This afternoon and evening, Twenty-seven was really busy.
By the time it got dark, he had already built a chicken coop for the chickens using materials from the collapsed house.
There is a pile of dark things in the corner of the yard. After twenty-seven confirmation, it should be the original chicken coop. I don't know when it collapsed, so those chickens got into the collapsed house to live and breed.
Twenty-seven took out more than a dozen eggs from those houses, some of which were still warm.
Fortunately, the pots in the kitchen are still mostly intact.
There was a fire burning in the stove, and it had been burning since the afternoon. He put the pot on, added water, and Twenty-seven put a dozen eggs in and boiled them.
He didn't know how much rubbish he threw away this afternoon. By night, the bugs in the kitchen had been cleaned up, and medicinal powder was sprinkled on every corner. Ruan Qing dared to come over and take a look.
As soon as I came in, I asked, "Hey, what smells so good?"
After sniffing again, I smelled it: "Baked potatoes?"
It turned out that after I brought the potatoes back on the 27th in the afternoon, I lit the fire in the stove and stuffed the potatoes into them and roasted them.
The only difference is a lack of knowledge. But as long as Ruan Qing told him, he would remember it and stick to it.
There are toasted bread, grilled sausages, grilled rolls, baked potatoes, grilled corn and boiled eggs. There are also tomatoes and cucumbers washed with mountain spring water.
She really likes to explain to Twenty-Seven some common sense that everyone knows but he, an ancient person, doesn't know.
Ruan Qing asked: "Why are you going?"
But Twenty-Seven doesn't think Ruan Qing has too many things to do.
Then he watched twenty-seven eat eight eggs.
Zhao Hao often did not wash his hands when urinating, or he would only wash his hands in tap water before washing.
Twenty-seven said: "Actually, I cleaned the pot very hard."
It doesn’t taste good without salt.
It's midsummer down the mountain, but the temperature on the mountain is about the same as late autumn. If the fire in the stove hadn't warmed the kitchen, Ruan Qing would have been so cold that he was shaking.
The flower rolls that the aunt in the village forced Ruan Qing to bring were delicious after being baked.
Having lived together for thirteen or fourteen days, Twenty-Qi does know Ruan Qing very well.
The meticulousness with which he works and the strict demands he places on himself even exceed Ruan Qing's expectations of him.
After it got completely dark, the temperature dropped quickly.
"No, these are two words." Ruan Qing explained to him, "Cholesterol is a substance contained in eggs. A normal amount is fine, but eating too much is harmful to the human body. If it exceeds the tolerable standard, it can easily cause cancer. . Cancer, cancer... um, what is cancer..."
In fact, it would be better if there was hot water.
There is a feeling of going through all kinds of hardships and personally pulling him to grow up.
The dinner was much richer than Ruan Qing expected.
Because it was too cold, Ruan Qing also ate a lot. She even ate two eggs. You know, she usually only eats one egg yolk, which is almost enough.
The two of them found two benches and sat in front of the stove to eat their dinner.
In fact, many men are like Zhao Hao. If you don't believe it, if you wait and observe at the door of the men's restroom in the shopping mall, you will see that the proportion of men who just rinse with water and leave is really high. Therefore, Ruan Qing tries to avoid shaking hands with men on a daily basis.
Explaining a noun brings out a new noun.
Twenty-seven himself is a person who pays great attention to details. After Ruan Qing told him his request, there was nothing he couldn't do.
At this glance, Twenty-seven understood.
"No!" Ruan Qing said firmly, "You know me."
Twenty-seven said: "I will tidy up the room for you to sleep in."
Ruan Qing was embarrassed to say that he was actually afraid of the dark.
Ruan Qing was shocked: "You are not afraid of excessive cholesterol!"
Twenty-seven asked: "What is cholesterol?"
Zhao Hao will feel that Ruan Qing is very stupid.
You must change your shoes when entering the house, wash your hands with hand sanitizer after going to the toilet, and use dishwashing liquid to wash away pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables. By the way, you must also wash your hands with hand sanitizer before cooking or touching food.
He used a wooden stick to take out the potatoes. They were black and hot. Put it aside to cool first, then use a sharpened wooden stick to stick the peeled corn on it, and stand it on the mouth of the stove to roast.
After twenty-seven finished eating, he asked Ruan Qing to warm himself in the kitchen while he got up.
But Ruan Qing never found this matter annoying. On the contrary, she enjoyed it.
In the city, even if you don't turn on the lights at home, as long as you don't close the curtains, the room will be very bright. Because the light pollution in the entire city is very serious.
Twenty-seven said, "Don't be afraid. I used powder to kill all the snakes, rats, and bugs in the backyard."
Every time, Ruan Qing would press his head and ask him to use hand sanitizer.
It was getting dark and I was a little scared. Ruan Qing said, "I'll go with you."
"Actually, I wanted to make a roast chicken. I searched around but couldn't find any salt." He said, "I just remembered that my master will never go down the mountain for the rest of his life. He has no salt."
But here, Ruan Qing glanced outside the window - it was dark.
It is much better to eat hot food in the cold mountains than cold bread and sausages.
He said, "You just need to shout and I will come right away."
Ruan Qing was poked in the heart again, and suddenly he was no longer afraid. She agreed: "Okay."
Twenty-seven went away, and when he left he also took away a few burning logs from the stove.
He moves pretty fast. Ruan Qing played mobile games for a while, and then he came back. He naturally picked up Ruan Qing and said, "It's done, let's go over there."
Just like that, the princess carried Ruan Qing to the monastery in the middle courtyard.
Twenty-seven found the brazier. Although it was chipped, it was still basically complete and usable.
Twenty-seven burned firewood in the brazier. There was a fire in the house, which drove away the cold air in the mountains.
"That kang path can't be repaired." Twenty-seven said, "It's been too long, and there are already cracks inside. The remaining things are caked and stuck to it. If I force it, I'm afraid it will collapse. I can only use a brazier. 」
But he laid a thick layer of hay on the kang, and very considerately spread their raincoats on the hay.
"Limited by the conditions, I can only wrong you." He said, "It's all me who has dragged you down."
In this environment, he did his best to create as comfortable, warm, and satisfying conditions for her as possible. Ruan Qing has never seen a more capable and considerate man than him.
"It's pretty good." She said with a smile, "It's almost like camping. I haven't been camping since graduation, and I really miss it."
She doesn't mind it.
Twenty-seven smiled and said, "Wait a moment."
He went out again, came back, and brought in the wooden bucket: "Soak your feet, so you can sleep." The bucket was steaming, it was hot water.
There are eggs boiled in the pot. Ruan Qing disliked that pot and refused to drink the water boiled in that pot, but soaking his feet should be fine.
The night in the mountains is really cold.
The moment Ruan Qing soaked her feet in the bucket, heat rushed from her toes to her heart, making her sigh in comfort.
She couldn't help but glance at Twenty-seven.
In the firelight, Twenty-seven was not quite sure what that glance meant.
All in all, it felt like Ruan Qing's eyes were filled with water, making people afraid to look further.
I was afraid that my heartbeat would be too fast after watching her too much, and I was also afraid that I would lose control of myself and do something rude to her.
He quickly looked away: "I used the light here to get the letter quickly."
The day's work wasn't over yet, and he was busy again.
He packed his things during the day and found pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and several large boxes of scriptures. During her lifetime, Zaojiao put all these into a box, wrapped them in waterproof tarpaulin, sprinkled medicinal powder into the gaps in the box, and put them on a shelf. Twenty-seven dug them out.
The Taoist priests are actually very particular. The boxes are all made of camphor wood, which is inherently insect-proof. Twenty-seven found the box. When he opened it and looked at it, he untied the oilcloth and found that the books inside were basically intact.
It's just that the inkstone is dry and cracked. Things like inkstones need to be maintained. If they are not maintained for too long, they will easily dry out.
Ruan Qing was sitting by the kang, soaking his feet, watching Nian Qi busy at the table.
He ground the ink, moistened the pen, and mixed some strange powders that he found during the day.
I tried it again and again on other papers, and finally got it working on Zaojiao’s suicide note.
Ruan Qing looked at him holding the pen up to his wrist, which was super stable. The tip of the pen is dipped in the prepared "potion", and when it is operated on the letter paper, the movement is very subtle.
Ruan Qing became nervous when he saw it.
Twenty-seven spread the processed papers one by one on the table to dry.
At this time, Ruan Qing had almost finished soaking her feet, so she lifted her feet and swung the water.
Twenty-seven hurriedly took a piece of rice paper to her and said, "Use this."
Rice paper absorbs water very well and is very tough. It does not break even after absorbing water.
Twenty-seven told her: "Wear socks to sleep. It's very cold in the mountains and your feet will get cold easily."
Ruan Qing raised her eyes and flirted with him again.
Every time she looked at him like this, Twenty-Seven couldn't help but feel her heart beat violently and her throat felt inexplicably dry.
what happened
It must be because a man and a woman are alone in the mountains! It was obviously not the case when he was at Ruan Qing's house. He has great self-control.
I can only say that the environment and atmosphere sometimes have a really powerful impact on people!
Twenty-seven quickly picked up the dry letter paper on the table and gave it to Ruan Qing: "Take a look."
Ruan Qing wiped his hands dry before taking the paper.
I had always been worried that Twenty-Seven's operation would cause too much damage to the suicide note, but I finally felt relieved after I saw it with my own eyes.
Twenty-seven did not change the main content of the letter, but he used ink mixed with medicinal powder to obscure the content that showed that Zaojiao was alone.
For example, Zaojiao wrote "I prepared the coffin by myself", and Twenty-seven confused "a person", so it became "I XXXX prepared the coffin".
The basic meaning of the expression remains the same, but it obscures the fact that Zaojiao is alone.
The same is true in other places. And the rest are in the appendices at the end and have no impact on the content of the text.
The reason why Twenty-Seven mixes those unknown powders into the ink is to control the color of the ink. Those ink colors don't look new at all, they feel old. And there is a feeling of dilation.
"This letter is old and the ink has solidified. It is a little difficult to smear it with water alone. If you use too much water, it will easily smear the surrounding words." He said, "So I have to adjust the ink."
Ruan Qing nodded.
She read the letter again.
The most important content was not affected, and she felt relieved. But there was still a look of sadness on his face.
"What's wrong?" Twenty-seven became worried, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's very realistic. I think it's okay." Ruan Qing said hurriedly.
Twenty-seven looked at her.
Ruan Qing sighed slightly and said, "I just feel a little uncomfortable. Master Zaojiao spent his whole life alone, guarding the Taoist temple. He lived such a lonely life, but because of us, no one knows about it... "
Twenty-seven felt relieved and smiled: "What did I say? It turns out to be this. You don't have to feel guilty about this. How can a person who refuses to join the world care about whether others know whether he lives a lonely life or a lively life?"
Ruan Qing thought about it, Taoists originally pursue freedom and spontaneity, otherwise why would the savage view be called the savage view. She finally relaxed: "Okay."
Twenty-seven said: "Besides, if it weren't for us, this temple would be hidden in the barren mountains and no one would come. Who knows what his master, ancestors and brothers did? Aren't all those who died generously buried?"
"Also, I think..." he said, "He is unwilling to go out into the world, and he has no disciples to pass on his mantle. He himself became the last master of the savage temple, but the inheritance of the savage temple is cut off. Maybe when he gets there... he will be Master, Master, give me a beating."
Ruan Qing was amused by him and laughed.
My mood improved.
There are some people who always have a way to make you comfortable, safe, and happy when you are with them.
The firelight in the small room danced, and the girl's eyebrows were lively and she was smiling.
Twenty-seven began to beat faster again.
He calmly put the letter away and said calmly: "Then you go to sleep, I..."
Get ready to walk.
Ruan Qing grabbed his sleeve: "Where are you going?"
Twenty-seven said: "I sleep next door."
Ruan Qing opened his eyes wide, his eyes pure and innocent: "You want me to sleep here alone?"
Then, if you're not alone, can two people sleep together
But although the kang is not small, it is still a whole. Unlike in a hotel, there are two separate beds.
Moreover, there are so many rooms in the hotel, and if there is any movement in the next room, you can hear it clearly.
It was silent here, as if they were the only couple in the world.
Twenty-seven's throat couldn't help but roll.
