Qin Ran searched in the storage room and found a reclining chair. This was a favorite of his master when he was alive. His master liked to lie under the old locust tree for a whole day. After his master passed away, he stayed at home every day, basically lying on the sofa. He rarely had time to use this chair, so he abandoned it in the storage room.
I specifically looked it up today because it is useful again.
After washing it at the river, he moved the chair to the lawn, next to the mud pit that Li Shiyin had dug. Then he left the chair to dry in the sun, went back into the house, poured a glass of iced soda, and walked back with the soda in his hand, shaking his feet.
He lay on a chair drying in the sun, looking at his silly apprentice working in the mud pit, and felt a strange sense of comfort...
Well, at this moment, he felt like he deserved to be hung on a street lamp.
Fortunately, there are no street lights in this world. He took a deep sip of soda.
Li Shiyin became dirty and black in the mud pit. Her whole body was covered with mud, and the exposed skin was tanned black.
Recalling when she first entered Daojianmen and participated in the Dao Conference, she was still a fair-skinned girl, and someone even regarded her as a goddess... At that time, she was indeed a stunning beauty with skin as white as cream and as delicate as a baby's.
However, he had only been at Danfeng for a few days when he was tortured into this state. There was no need to point out who the culprit was.
At this time, Li Shiyin was wearing a short-sleeved cloth shirt with a skirt that reached her knees. It was really hard for Qin Ran to find such tattered clothes in the immortal sect. Her long hair was tied up in a single ponytail. She was covered in mud and sweat, and people would not think that she was an immortal who had joined the immortal sect. She was just a rural peasant woman.
The medicinal bath prepared by Qin Ran can relieve muscle fatigue and strengthen physical fitness, but it cannot improve skin quality. I don’t know if he did it on purpose to cause Li Shiyin to become like this.
Li Shiyin dug the mud seriously. After digging for a while, the mud piled up into a big pile, so she stopped, took a dustpan from the side, and shoveled the mud into the dustpan with a shovel. After scooping a handful of mud, she lifted it up with all her strength and was about to pour out the mud. At this moment, she saw Qin Ran drinking soda on the recliner above.
"Master!!!!" She instantly broke through her defense and shouted, spilling the dirt in her hands all over her, making her clothes even dirtier, "What are you doing!?"
Qin Ran seemed to have just come back to his senses. He opened his eyes and looked at Li Shiyin, but felt the sunlight was too dazzling and became weak.
It's time to get some sunglasses, he thought to himself.
"I'm watching over you!" He said calmly, taking a sip of soda, "to prevent you from being lazy..."
"Ah?!" Li Shiyin couldn't stand it anymore, she bent down, grabbed a handful of mud and threw it at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran was not in a hurry. With a thought, the soda in the cup flew out and spread into a thin film, which covered the flying mud and then formed a mud ball. He pointed his finger forward and the mud ball flew back and hit Li Shiyin on the forehead.
"You are disrespectful to the master, you deserve to be punished!" he said, his tone extremely annoying. "Also, this cup of soda was wasted because of you, so I have to fine you another cup of soda."
Li Shiyin felt pain and rubbed her forehead with both hands. It must have turned red, she thought. She clenched her fists in hatred, gritted her teeth, and swore to herself that one day, she would get back at her.
When she learns how to mix soda, she won’t give it to him! Humph! !
She glared at Qin Ran and snorted, but she could do nothing but pick up the shovel and shovel back the fallen soil.
“Damn master!” She shoveled the dirt and cursed softly, treating Qin Ran as if he were dirt. “Bad master!”
The silly disciple's expression of being angry but not daring to speak was really adorable. Qin Ran smiled secretly in his heart, but his face showed no expression.
"What are you talking about?" he asked deliberately.
"No!" Li Shiyin quickly shut up and cursed quietly in her heart.
After collecting the spilled soil, she lifted it up again and poured it onto the lawn outside the pit.
Seeing her standing at the bottom of the pit and pouring soil into it, Qin Ran began to give instructions: "This is a lake. We need to dig it very deep and big. I suggest you build a step on the side, otherwise it will be difficult to pour the soil later."
"Got it!" Li Shiyin replied.
"You have to find a way to deal with the mud and sand you dug out." Qin Ran continued to direct, "It's definitely not okay to pile it here. First, it's not beautiful, and second, it will affect the subsequent construction. I suggest you learn how to make bricks and tiles, and burn the mud. It will be used when we build the long bridge and the pavilion in the middle of the lake..."
You are asking for so much, just do it yourself!
Li Shiyin threw away the dustpan, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Qin Ran, but after a while, she lowered her head and finally held back, after all, she was under someone's roof.
"A good commander is worth a thousand troops." Li Shiyin continued to dig, and Qin Ran continued to talk.
Do you understand? I'll be in charge here, which will save you a lot of effort..."
"Master!" Li Shiyin raised her hand and said, "If there are two of us in charge, will it be more efficient?"
Qin Ran glared at her and said fiercely, "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking!"
Finally, she listened to Qin Ran's advice. As she dug, Li Shiyin dug out steps on the side of the pit for going up and down.
Qin Ran kept talking for a while and felt tired. He took out a jade slip from his Qiankun bag, analyzed the structure of the formation, and tried to find a way to crack it.
In fact, teasing Li Shiyin was just a spur of the moment idea, while deciphering these jade slips without mantras was the main purpose of the plan.
Under the scorching sun, the master and his apprentice were working hard with a small clay figure at the bottom of a pit, while a black-hearted man was leisurely deciphering a jade slip on a lawn chair.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, Li Shiyin at the bottom of the pit shouted excitedly: "Master! Master! Look what I dug up! Look, look!"
"What?" Qin Ran looked towards the bottom of the pit with little interest, and saw Li Shiyin holding a long black object in both hands, showing it off to him.
"Flying sword, it's a flying sword!" Li Shiyin jumped up and down with joy, "I dug up the flying sword used by Senior Danfeng."
Qin Ran was shocked. Did this foolish disciple find a treasure? He took a closer look, and then lost interest. He raised his hand and summoned a stream of water, which rushed directly over Li Shiyin's head, washing away the mud and sand outside the sword, revealing the sword inside.
"Master!" The water used to wash the flying sword mixed with mud and sand and splashed all over Li Shiyin. She angrily took back the sword and didn't want to show it to Qin Ran. But when she looked at it again, she found that what she was holding in her hand was a rusty and broken sword.
“You dug out a sword that someone had discarded and treated it as a treasure…” Qin Ran shook his head helplessly and sighed, “Can you be more ambitious?!”
Li Shiyin didn't care about her wet hair. She looked at the tattered sword in her hand. Her fantasy was shattered. She pursed her lips and felt like crying.
Qin Ran glanced at her, ignored her, and lay down again with the jade slip.
Li Shiyin thought about it for a while, feeling aggrieved, and finally threw the broken sword aside, although she was reluctant to do so.
"Pick it up. What if you get cut by mistake later?" The evil master spoke again when he saw that she had lost the sword.
She waved her fist, but still replied: "I'll take it back later!"
