In the middle of the afternoon, the sun reappeared.

decided to help Gu Lan's family build a house, Old Man Shao didn't delay much, seeing that winter was getting closer and closer, if he didn't build the house quickly, he was afraid that the weather would get worse and worse in the future.

Although Old Man Shao was old, he took off his clothes, revealing his tendons and flesh, extremely strong, his skin was dark and wrinkled, and he had many scars.

Gu Lan glanced at it a few times inadvertently, and noticed that those scars should be caused by sharp weapons.

I didn't have the heart to think about it.

Old man Shao carried a machete into the bamboo forest, and with the help of Zhu'er, the two of them cut nearly 100 bamboos in one morning.

Gu Lan is still transporting yellow mud, since the house is going to be rebuilt, she wants to build it well, and by the way, she will make a kang.

She had been to the Northeast in her previous life, and she had a deep memory of the winter there, the biting cold, which could be dozens of degrees below zero casually, and if there was no good thing like a fire kang, many people would not be able to sleep peacefully at night at all.

Gu Lan has learned about the fire kang, but only about it.

She wasn't sure if she could make a firekang, but she should give it a try.

Liang Er took care of Zhu'er, and Gu Lan found a thin bamboo branch to draw on the dirt ground, drawing the basic structure of the fire kang.

Furnace cavity, fire pit, bed ......

She struggled to recall the memories of her previous life, trying to fill in the void with experience.

"What are you doing?"

"Scared!"

A voice suddenly appeared in her ears, Gu Lan was frightened, and sat on the ground.

Looking up and seeing Aji's beautiful face, before she could speak, she moaned in small pieces. A moan came out of his mouth first.

"My feet ......"

It's numb.

Gu Lan squatted for an unknown amount of time, losing sensation on both feet, as if there were snowflakes swimming in her body.

She gasped, cried and mourned, and asked intermittently, "Aji, why are you here?" ”

"It's time to eat."

Aggie put the piece of meat he was holding on the bluestone next to the threshold, and naturally lifted his robe and squatted down.

This action should have been vulgar, but when it was done on him, it was carried out with a sense of casualness.

The face is good-looking, it doesn't matter what.

Gu Lan complained silently in her heart, her feet were still uncomfortable, she gritted her teeth and waited for this feeling to pass.

But Aggie reached out and grabbed her ankle.

Under Gu Lan's eyes that stared at the copper bell, her fingers pinched lightly, pinching from her ankles to her calves little by little.

"What are you doing...... Yes! ”

Gu Lan couldn't speak, so she could only beg for mercy: "Don't pinch it!" Uncomfortable! Let go of me! ”

She struggled hard, Aji looked thin, after all, he was a man, he still ate meat all day long, he had no worries about food and clothing, and his strength was not much greater than her.

Gu Lan only felt like a little chicken, being held in his hands and playing with it over and over again.

Finally, her legs regained sensation, and Gu Lan lost her strength and collapsed backwards.

Aji let go of her, pointed to the fire kang structure diagram on the ground, frowned slightly, and asked softly, "What is this?" ”

Gu Lan secretly took a breath, rolled her eyes, and said that the ancient men and women were very strict in their defense, didn't this stupid man understand!

But Gu Lan didn't care about this, she just felt that this was too much.

These thoughts vanished when Aggie asked.

She immediately regained her state just now, stopped squatting, sat on the ground with her legs wide open, and explained to Aji: "I plan to build a kang out of mud bricks, which is the bed for sleeping." ”

The kang is connected to the stove outside, and after cooking, the kang will be hot, and the inexhaustible charcoal fire can be stacked under the kang.

Because of the special structure of the ondol, these embers can ensure the temperature for a few more hours, enough for them to survive the long night.

The biggest problem is how to ensure that the surface of the kang is heated evenly.

Gu Lan explained that while telling Aji, she herself was able to notice some details that she hadn't paid attention to just now.

"It's not right here, if you do this, it may smoke, and you should change it again......"

She was immersed in her own world again.

Aggie's eyes fell on her head, and in the sunlight, her hair could be clearly seen, orange-yellow, like rough straw, with some mud scattered on it.

It was dirty, no different from the ordinary people he had seen.

Old man Shao has never wanted him to get too close to these people.

"Are you...... They are mud legs, you live here, you are already humiliated, and then you mix with people like them, how can you take on a great cause? ”

There are very few things that Aggie can do, and the so-called "great cause" is simply out of reach, even if he knows that he will have to bear this responsibility for the rest of his life until he dies.

But until now, he has not found the possibility of recovering the great cause.

Grandpa Shao thought the same way, so he went from cultivating Aji to hoping that he could find a good woman to become his own son, and if one generation is not good, then hand over this important task to his children and grandchildren.

One day, he will return to his rightful place.

Gu Lan is the person chosen by Grandpa Shao.

She is very different.

Unlike all the women he'd ever seen.

She is very alive, full of vitality, obviously weak like a weed, but she cannot be defeated.

"That's right! You can make an opening here! That should be perfect! ”

Gu Lan finally found the last loophole in the design drawing, she couldn't help but admire her ingenuity and began to applaud herself.

She smiled and bared a few teeth, and when she came back to her senses from her own world, she noticed that Aggie was staring at her.

Gu Lan raised her eyebrows, not avoiding his gaze at all, but asked, "Aji, do you understand?" ”

Aggie nodded and stood up.

Gu Lan also got up and stretched, "The design is finished, and the next thing is to do it."

Lay the foundation first, and then build the house, the original house was troublesome, so simply start another piece, anyway, the empty space is big.

As soon as he said it, Gu Lan began to enclose the range with branches in another open space.

This time someone helped her, and her greed expanded slightly, and built a small kitchen where the stove was.

Aggie was left behind by her.

He stood for a while, then picked up the bacon on the bluestone and walked towards the stove with a flat face.

Liang'er was cooking, he took care of the logistics of the family, and used a few firewood to form a human circle, and Zhu'er was put in the circle by him, holding a piece of boiled cassava and eating it.

He chopped wood for cooking, and when he saw Aji coming, he smiled and said hello.

"Brother Aji, it's hard for Grandpa Shao to help us build a house, I'm cooking, you can stay and eat together at noon."

Ajimo was silent, but he didn't refuse, he handed over the bacon and asked for a meal.

Liang Er did not refuse, and quickly began to process the bacon.

Aggie crouched beside Pearl, poking her fingers at her bulging cheeks.
