Rubik’s Cube of Heavens Chapter 10: Haze
At noon.
A lunch surprised Melo and Craig, two little bean dices.
It's not that they were shocked by the delicious food, but that Yu Wei and Bao Bao lived a luxurious life of three meals a day!
In the old days, Melo and Craig would just find something to eat in the morning and get through the day pretty much.
Only rarely do they have a second meal of the day.
Therefore, the two little Doudings are extremely envious of Wei and Baobao's life.
Even so, they couldn't help but have the same idea of wanting to be adopted by Kewen.
However, in their eyes, Ke Wen is a serious and indifferent person to them, and he is not as gentle as Van der to them.
The two little bean dings had no choice but to completely bury that delusion deeply.
After lunch, Ke Wen continued to work with four little bean dices.
The space on the second floor is not enough to place the stairs, and the straight ladder is too dangerous for the young age, so Cowen chose to break a hole in the wall of the second floor and set up a metal staircase outside .
For the time being, there are less than four little Doudings to help with these tasks.
Without their dragging, Kewen can also work at full power.
So it only took him half an hour to install a very stable staircase on the outside of the second floor.
The stairs lead to the preset third floor, and the next job is to move the building materials.
Ke Wen set up a pulley block for the four little bean dings on the roof, and Wei Lai, who was the strongest, pulled the pulley, while the other three little bean dings threw bricks and other small building materials into the net frame.
After transporting some of the materials, Ke Wen used his hands on the roof a little harder, and tore off the cover of a metal bucket with a 'creak' sound.
The bucket is filled with alchemy gel, which is much more suitable than cement. The only disadvantage is that it smells bad.
However, there is a solution to this, just add money.
Alchemists have developed another alchemy fragrance for a long time ago, but if there are some conditions, they will start with the fragrance when purchasing the gel.
Kewen is naturally not short of money.
Right now, he is holding a tube of alchemy fragrance, unscrewing the cork and pouring the fragrance into the gel barrel.
Using a wooden stick to stir for a while, Ke Wen then spread the gel on the roof like cement.
Bricks were pressed tightly on top of the gel by Ke Wen, and he began to add a third floor to the house.
After some time, two cheers suddenly sounded from below.
Kewen looked on the roof and found that Van der had finally appeared and returned.
Melo and Clegg had already rushed to Vander's feet, while Vander was bending down to apologize to the two little bean dings.
Ke Wen took a look at Van der's body, and found that the other party's temperament became more depressed.
That is the temperament that only appears after a huge blow.
At the same time, Ke Wen found several hidden bandages on Vander's body.
The area on the chest was wrapped around a few times, and the same was true on the wrist, and the injured part was still the tendon.
Seeing this, Ke Wen casually said politely on the roof: "Are you all right? It's all resolved?"
Fandre raised his head, and he forced a smile at Cowen: "It's all settled, thanks buddy, for allowing you to take care of them for so long."
Cowen waved the triangular shovel in his hand to apply the gel to indicate that it's okay.
Vandel didn't mean to talk too much.
He lowered his head again, and slowly raised his hands to rub the tops of Milo and Craig's heads.
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and Van der hid his pained expression, and then said softly, "Come on, help here, and go back to the bar tonight."
"Yeah!" Melo and Craig nodded happily.
Fandre smiled benevolently, then nodded to Cowen on the roof, then turned around and walked towards the bar with some staggering steps.
Kewen looked at the back of the other party, then he looked away, and greeted the four little bean dings below: "Go on, speed up the delivery of materials, and remember to tell me when you are tired."
"Not tired!"
Wei arched his biceps and patted it confidently: "I'm strong enough!"
"But you have to think about others." Ke Wen raised his head to educate Wei below: "I have taught you before, and the following words are similar. What you can do, other people may not be able to do the same Now, Wei, you need to clarify your own situation and the situation of other people.”
Hearing this, Wei turned his head to look at Baobo and the other two Xiaodoudings.
She nodded slightly in amazement: "I see."
Kewen showed a satisfied smile, he said no more, and retracted his head to continue the construction work.
Unknowingly, the time came to the evening.
Although Melo and Craig always had to rest for half an hour after working for half an hour, Cowen still gave them five copper gears each as a reward.
After seeing off the two happy little Doudings, Ke Wen entered the kitchen and started to prepare dinner for Wei and Bao Bao.
Three days later, Ke Wen finally completed the studio on the third floor and the study room in the attic on the fourth floor.
Without the dragging of the four little bean dings, Kewen could have finished the project earlier.
But he didn't do that. Instead, he chose to let Wei and Baobao experience what is called participation.
It turned out that the two little girls were proud to be a part of the construction.
So much so that they prefer the floors they built with their own hands, and asked Cowen to move to the attic on the fourth floor.
Ke Wen naturally would not refuse, so he helped them move their things to the fourth floor, and repainted the attic, making the attic full of the warmth of a bedroom.
The original bedroom on the second floor was converted into a study by Kewen.
Although the remodeled study room looks very small, in addition to the bookshelves, there can only be one set of tables and chairs, but it is enough.
Kewen doesn't need to do research in the study for a long time, he only needs to read the books he bought once.
After being captured with a photographic memory, those books are worthless.
Of course, those books can still be kept for Wei and Baobao to study and use in the future.
…
On the evening of the completion of the project, Ke Wen prepared a sumptuous dinner as a celebration.
Just as I was about to start eating, there was a sudden shout outside.
"The gray fog is coming—the gray fog is coming—"
"Not good!!"
Wei let out a low cry first, and then slapped the table depressedly: "Why did the gray fog come at this time?! We were just about to celebrate!!"
After complaining, Wei immediately greeted: "Boom! Follow me upstairs to close the windows!"
While getting up from the chair, Wei urged Kewen again: "The windows on the first and second floors will be handed over to you! Be sure to close them properly, and then use something to block the gaps! Otherwise, the house will be destroyed tomorrow. It was buried in dust!"
Ke Wen couldn't imagine the power of the gray fog, because he had never experienced it before.
However, this did not delay his response.
So Ke Wen stood up and nodded: "Go, leave the downstairs to me."
Wei said no more.
She glanced at the sumptuous meal reluctantly, and then ran upstairs holding her explosive little hand.
Ke Wen also got up and walked to the second floor, closed all the doors and windows, and found some rags and tore them into strips to seal the gaps.
Then he came to the first floor.
Just as he was about to continue, the door was knocked twice and pushed open.
Amidst the crisp sound of the doorbell, Fandre's strong body walked into the room.
After seeing the cloth strip in Kewen's hand, Vander smiled reassuringly: "It seems that you already know how to deal with it."
"Did you come here to remind me?"
Kevin walked to the kitchen, turned his back to Vander and said, "Thanks, but don't you need to care about the bar?"
Vandel stepped up to follow, and said with a smile: "It's okay, every time there is a gray fog warning, some homeless people will go to my place to hide, and they will help me seal the doors and windows."
While speaking, the two walked into the kitchen together.
Fandre found a few rags by himself. Seeing that Ke Wen had already sealed the gap in the window, he went to the exhaust fan to help seal it.
"Can you tell me about the gray fog warning?" Ke Wen asked while stuffing a cloth strip in the window: "How often will it appear?"
"Usually around three months."
Fandre replied: "The various waste gases in Bottom City are gradually increasing. After the accumulation rises, it will merge with the layer of industrial waste gas above the crack, and make that layer of industrial waste gas aggravate and be buried."
"The fused exhaust gas will be integrated into various sewage, and the pollution level of the bottom city will be reduced later, so the cycle continues."
Kewen nodded knowingly, but asked strangely: "Three months? But I have lived here for more than half a year, why didn't I show up before?"
Fandre paused.
Then he continued to block the smoke exhaust fan, and at the same time whispered: "It was because of the previous mistake. After that incident, many workshops stopped working to wait for the fulfillment of the contract in the upper city. Waiting for the new rules of the upper city, and want to make business adjustments after getting the new rules..."
Kewen was stunned.
He nodded his head slightly and said, "It turned out that because of the shutdown, the exhaust emissions for a period of time decreased, which finally slowed down the arrival time of the gray fog warning."
"Yes." Fandre replied in a depressed tone.
Cowen also stopped speaking.
The two quickly finished the kitchen and returned to the hall.
It didn't take long for the hall on the first floor to be processed.
"Thank you." Ke Wen finally said aloud to Van der.
Fandre just made a movement of the corner of his mouth, and then asked: "Have you decided on the business after that? Why don't you tell me, I can introduce some customers to you."
"Let's fix it." Ke Wen responded: "I plan to open a repair shop with no business scope."
"As for introducing business, there is no need."
He shook his head slightly again: "My savings are enough to support Da Wei and Bang Bang, so you can do whatever you want. I opened this store just to make Wei and Bang Bang not be treated differently."
Hearing this, Van der was stunned for a moment and then showed a dazed expression.
He did not persuade more.
Looking outside the house, he found that the green poisonous haze had begun to be gradually covered by the gray haze, so Van der bid farewell.
When he reached the door, he stopped again, and turned back to invite Ke Wen: "If you have time, go to the bar and sit down. I will introduce you to a few guys. In the future, there will be one more person to help."
Kewen thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay."
"Oh, that's right." Van der added a reminder: "When you sleep at night, remember to cover your mouth and nose with a cloth strip."
After speaking, he gave Ke Wen a friendly smile, then opened the door and walked out.
The door was quickly closed, but some haze still came in.
Kevin raised his hand and slapped it in front of him, glanced through the window at Vander's back that was going away and covered by gray fog, and then he turned and walked upstairs.
Wei and Baobao's movements are a bit slow, after all, they are still young.
But they were very smart to start sealing from the attic on the fourth floor, sealing off their bedrooms first, and then started to deal with the third floor.
Ke Wen helped the two little girls clean up the third floor. When they returned to the kitchen together, the sumptuous meal on the table had already been covered with a layer of dust.
"Really..."
Wei sighed: "It's still too late, it's a waste."
After finishing speaking, she looked down at Baobo, touched the other's little head and said, "Be good, Baobao, let's go hungry tonight, it's no big deal, it's just like the past, you know?"
"Yeah." Bao Bao nodded his head obediently.
Looking at the two sensible little girls, Ke Wen smiled.
Thinking of something, he said hello: "Let's go, let's go to the studio on the third floor."
The two little girls had no doubts, and obediently followed Ke Wen upstairs.
When he came to the third floor, Ke Wen found a piece of wood and used a gear cutting machine to cut the wood into one centimeter thick wood chips.
Then he found a plank that was one meter square.
Take out three marker pens from the pen holder, give Wei and Baobo one each, and then Ke Wen hugs Baobao.
He put the little **** the long work table, and called Wei to sit down.
"Follow me next."
Ke Wen put the big fast wooden board in front of him, and picked up the marker pen.
Wei and Baobo were completely ignorant, but they also placed the two small pieces of wood in front of each other.
"Come on, follow me to draw."
Kewen dropped the marker pen and slowly drew an arc on the board.
Wei and Baobo follow suit.
Next, Ke Wen taught slowly, and finally he drew a wind bird with wings on the wooden board in front of him with a marker.
Wei's ability to imitate is strong. Although the proportion of the wind bird she drew seems a bit out of balance, the appearance of the wind bird is not out of shape.
As for the explosive paintings, they are completely abstract.
However, the wind bird painted by Baobo is not ugly, but has an alternative childlike artistic sense.
Ke Wen didn't correct them, but just smiled and changed the three fluorescent markers.
Then the three of them used colored pens to paint the wind bird in blue~IndoMTL.com~What is this? "
After finishing, Wei finally couldn't help but asked: "Why do we draw this kind of bird?"
"This is a magical thing that can keep you breathing normally in the haze."
Kewen got up, and after responding, he called Wei and Baobo to walk towards the grinder together.
The rest of the work will be taken over by Ke Wen alone.
He first sanded Wei and Baobao's painting into small amulets along the edges of the picture, and then polished his own large board.
After polishing, Ke Wen engraved the words 'repair shop' on it with a carving pen.
In this way, the plaque of his store has completed the preliminary preparations, and it will be good to add lighting decorations to it later...
