What satisfied Grandpa Xiao the most was the bathroom in the southwest corner.
Yes, it's a bathroom, not a dry toilet like the old courtyard house.
The bathroom is divided into two rooms. The westernmost one is divided into an inner and outer room. The inner room is the toilet and the outer room is the washroom.
The toilet is a squat pit made of cement and bricks. Under the squat pit, thick bamboos are used to open the bamboo joints to make a drainage pipe, which leads to the septic tank underground on the first floor.
Moreover, cement was poured on the outside of the moso bamboo to ensure that the moso bamboo will not break, the joints will not slip, and the bamboo body will not be cut off by ill-intentioned villagers.
The one to the east next to the toilet is the bathroom, which is much more convenient to use than the Li family's bathroom.
These were all figured out by Li Zhengguo and a few workers.
…
After Li Zhengguo settled the final wages with the masters, he arranged for them to rest.
"You guys have some rest first. I will go to the provincial capital tomorrow to buy tickets for you, sleeper tickets for the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"I've been here for more than a year, but you haven't taken a look at the mountains and water here.
There are also gardens and parks you built with your own hands, go and take a look."
The old master felt sorry for the sleeper ticket price, "It's too expensive, we can just buy the seat ticket."
"That won't work. You have a lot of sacks and they can't be placed on the other side of the seat."
The old chef felt a little embarrassed again, "Have you really prepared a lot of vegetables for me?"
"Not only that, there are also pickles and sauerkraut, and even the jars will be brought to you. Over in Kyoto, I will send a telegram to my comrade and ask him to find a car to pick you up and take you home. Don't worry."
"Oh, I really caused you a lot of trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble. You have worked hard for more than a year. We are very satisfied with the yard."
On the third day, send the masters off.
There are large and small bags, jars and jars, dried game meat tied with hemp rope, and freshly picked eggplants and radishes that are easy to store.
It made the old master feel really embarrassed, as if he was moving house.
As soon as the masters left, the village became completely deserted.
However, the autumn harvest has begun.
We are facing a harvest that is similar to last fall, and the wheat yield during the summer harvest is 20% lower than last year.
Rumors began to spread in the village that Tian Jing was a disaster star again.
Li Zhengguo asked Chen Suozhu and Li Liguo to hand over the public grain. Except for the village head, branch secretary, and Wang's Niu family, other villagers were not allowed to take the public grain with them.
He wanted to accompany his wife up the mountain.
His reason was to take his three children into the mountains to soak in hot springs.
Tian Jing couldn't refuse such a strong reason.
When Tian Jing came again, Xiao Song hurriedly told her that he had an idea.
What’s your idea?”
"Bloodline, the formation belongs to your ancestors, it is impossible not to let you in, and there is no way for you to enter the formation, so we can only try it with blood."
"Huh? This is a way. I'll try it right now."
Li Zhengguo, who was preparing to take a hot spring bath with his children, watched helplessly as his wife flew away.
Wife, you should take us down here, it's too cold up here.
Xiaosong smiled happily.
Unfortunately, Li Zhengguo couldn't understand and could only see the branches shaking chaotically.
He took the children back to the cave to hide, waiting for his wife to think of them.
Halfway through, Tian Jing remembered her disappointment when her two sons were forgotten last time, so she hurriedly turned back.
After leaving her husband and baby in Hot Spring Valley, Tian Jing flew away again.
Li Zhengguo "..."
It was a mistake, he really shouldn't use the child as an excuse.
Standing on the edge of the valley, Tian Jing sent out a long-needle rose.
I have a needle, how do I stick it?
Prick an eye and drip it drop by drop?
Or prick an eye and spray it?
Then drop it drop by drop and try it.
It pricked, dripped, and showed a little bit, like a big drop of blood.
Drop it again, and it will show up a little more.
Tian Jing pointed out a door shape, and when he was about to tear open the door, he was bounced again.
If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been embedded in the mountain as a fossil.
Looking back, the door shape is gone.
Is this dissatisfaction and lack of blood?
Then get a spray type.
A needle pricked the palm of his hand, and the supernatural power started to spread out a blood stain.
When she reached out to tear it apart again, she remained vigilant, but was still bounced away.
Tian Jing: "..." Can I scold my ancestors for being mean?
He closed the wound with supernatural power and returned to Hot Spring Valley.
Li Zhengguo asked what?
Tian Jing shook her head, unwilling to tell her husband that she didn't open the formation even though she was spilling her blood.
After going up to Qingsongyan, Xiaosong asked how it was?
Tian Jing told it.
Xiaosong helped analyze, "Your blood can make the formation appear, but there should be something missing."
"What's missing?" Tian Jing said confidently, "It's old? The bloodline is not pure enough? Do you want to burn it to refine it?"
Xiaosong was dissatisfied, "Don't interrupt my train of thought."
"Then think about it slowly. I'm going back to nourish my blood. I'm afraid that the solution you want to give me is to pour a basin of blood."
"Don't talk nonsense. How can you survive with a basin of blood? This is completely unreasonable."
…
Tian Jing took her husband and baby down the mountain, and also carried two live pheasants.
The villagers found trouble again.
Of course, I didn’t dare to look for him directly, so I went to the village chief indirectly.
The village chief waved his hand, "There are no more work points. The things on the mountain belong to the collective. I'm talking about big things, such as rocks, trees and big beasts."
"As for these gadgets, it's up to you to hunt them. If you catch them, you can eat them at home. Go ahead and go hunting in the mountains."
When the villagers left, the village chief sighed, these people were really going too far.
All the previous enthusiasm and efforts were dissipated while watching the Li family make money.
The previous grandeur and openness were all changed due to the instigation of the Huang family and the Zhang family.
You're confused, why are the Huang family and the Zhang family trying to stir up trouble? Why are they dragging everyone along to suffer poverty with them?
Being so stupid deserves to be poor.
…
A light snow fell, and Li Zhengguo urged his eldest brother to go to the provincial capital to buy coal from Zeng Shengchun.
He and his wife left the three children with their mother, who had moved back to live with them, and went up the mountain again.
If we don’t go up the mountain, this year will be over again.
Tian Jing's first stop was of course to go to Qingsong Rock to ask Xiaosong.
Xiaosong has been thinking hard for two or three days, "I think what is missing must be objects."
object?
An idea flashed in Tian Jing's mind, "Golden key?"
"That should be the case. Wasn't the golden key passed down from your ancestors?"
"Wait, I'll try again."
At the edge of the hot spring valley, at Xiao Feng's feet, Tian Jing used his supernatural power to generate the roots of Xiao Feng who had lost his consciousness.
Soon, she brought the Tian family's jars up.
After taking out the authentic golden key and burying the jar back, Tian Jing took her husband and couldn't wait to go to the formation.
…
Blood was shed again, this time using the golden key to poke the visible piece of tangible matter.
She tensed her body, always ready to save herself from the risk of being ejected.
Only to find that the tangible substance had been poked open.
The golden key opened the formation?
She scratched the golden key up and down, and a crack appeared.
This golden key, or maybe a key made of copper, what is in it?
Can he actually cut through the formation that has been playing on her for more than a year?
While thinking, she opened a longer slit and pulled the slit with both hands.
"Brother Zheng, come down quickly."
Li Zhengguo, who was placed halfway up the mountain by his wife, opened his mouth in surprise when he saw that the formation that had blocked them for so long was cut open by his wife so roughly.
Hearing his wife calling him, he hurriedly slid down.
As soon as the two entered the formation, they found that the gap through which they entered had been quickly closed.
Turning around, a gust of damp air rushed towards me. Looking up, what came into my eyes was a thick and dripping white mist.
This should be the misty valley that Komatsu mentioned, right?
But the fog is so thick that it blocks all sight. How to find the private vault?
Since there is no way to the left or right, we can only enter the fog.
