Chapter 129 Enjoy the results
Another day passed, and the cold wave did not come. Instead, the temperature of several degrees below zero suddenly disappeared.

The weather suddenly became hot, it felt like it was over 30 degrees, making people just want to turn on the air conditioner.

The air outlet of the air conditioner faces the rear, so it won't blow directly onto Yao Wei. Even if it's a special period, it's okay for Yao Wei to sit in the passenger seat and get some air.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei felt it outside the car and decided it was better to be inside.

But they still wanted to take a look in the shelter, so they climbed up the wall and went into the empty shelter on the wall one after another.

There is also the smell of soil inside. Even if you close your eyes and just smell it, you can smell the unique smell of an unfinished house.

But the feeling under my feet is a little better than yesterday, and it is much more firm.

The two of them felt it for a while, and then Lu Xian said to Yao Wei: "Anyway, it's so hot today, it's not comfortable to stay here, why don't we let it air out for another day?
"If the weather is good tomorrow, come in and try again."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded in agreement, then looked at the doors and windows, "But these doors and windows..."

Lu Xian said: "This is good, we can listen to the wind and watch the rain. Anyway, we don't live here."

"Right."

Yao Wei agreed with Lu Xian's idea.

But in fact, neither of them knew how to make the doors and windows.

Not to mention Yao Wei, Lu Xian has only watched a few videos after all and is not a professional.

Lu Xian felt that he was very capable of following the video and achieving this level.

After touring their own achievements, the two came out and cooked some corn to eat. After eating, they went to the river to fill up their water bottles.

While replenishing water, Yao Wei saw fish in the river and wanted to reach out and catch them.

As a result, Lu Xian stopped her and said with a smile: "Your period is coming soon, so you'd better not touch cold water." He took over the work.

Lu Xian was quick-witted and quick-handed. Without using any tools, he simply reached into the river and scooped up the fish.

The fish was quite heavy. In Lu Xian's hand, it was flapping its body and swinging its tail quite vigorously.

Lu Xian had to use some strength to prevent the fish from slipping out of his hands.

"We have dinner for tonight."

He smiled at Yao Wei.

Yao Wei nodded and said, "Well, let the dog take a look first."

Lu Xian: "..."

This woman actually thinks more carefully than me!

But Yao Wei was right in her consideration. There was something seriously wrong with Jianshan City. Who knew if the fish still alive in the river had any problems? It was necessary to let Gou Zi take a look.

The car was right behind us, and the dog was in it.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei drove to Xiaogang Village and Xijian River. The distance was not far and did not consume much fuel. Moreover, they could refuel after they went to Dongshan County.

Keeping the car running can prevent damage to the items in the car if something goes wrong.

Lu Xian called the dog over and asked it to scan the fish, but he didn't expect the dog's eyes to flash twice, indicating that there was something wrong with the fish.

Only then did Lu Xian carefully examine the fish in his hand and found that the fish's eyes were red and there were many tiny bumps on the edges, which looked extremely abnormal.

It seems that this fish, like the old tree, has been affected by strange factors in this strange place, Jianshan City.

Mmm…and corn…

The corn from the old tree is not harmful to new humans like me, but this fish is not even edible to new humans.

what a pity……

Lu Xian released the fish directly, but couldn't help but wonder what had happened in Jianshan City and why there were so many strange changes?
Also, the old tree has turned into that shape and can become invisible, so why can't the resonance gene scanner recognize it?
He suddenly recalled the inexplicable pressure on the dome that night.

Is there any connection between these?
"Fortunately, there's a dog."

Yao Wei's voice interrupted Lu Xian's thoughts.

Lu Xian pulled himself out of all the doubts.

If I can't figure it out, it's pointless to dwell on it, so I'll just give it up for now. If I ever find the answer later, I'll still be able to think about it.

If there is no chance, it doesn’t matter. Jianshan City is just a passing point, not the destination.

After driving back to the shelter, Lu Xian stopped the car and turned off the engine. He followed Yao Wei outside to practice a set of martial arts moves, then got in the car and rested in the air-conditioned room.

This was a compulsory course for Yao Wei in her free time, and now it had become a compulsory course for Lu Xian as well. Even yesterday and the day before yesterday, they would practice it before starting work.

After all, this is more important than building a shelter that is destined to be abandoned later.

The day passed in extreme heat. Lu Xian and Yao Wei were in the car with the air conditioner on, feeling extremely comfortable. Yao Wei looked back and thought, how great it was! Fortunately, Lu Xian had brought this thing into the car.

Another night passed and the sun rose again. The scorching heat seemed to have stayed in the deep night and did not follow. When Lu Xian woke up, he heard the wind blowing outside the car, but it did not feel very cold. He thought that the weather was good and it might be suitable to feel it in the shelter.

Then he saw Yao Wei suddenly sit up, frowned, and opened the door and went out without saying a word.

He quickly opened the door and just got out of the car when he saw Yao Wei disappear into the woods. He thought of something and didn't follow her.

So I went back to the car, turned off the air conditioner, released the dog, then got out, closed the car door, jumped over the wall and got into the shelter.

The unfinished smell of the shelter still lingered, but stepping on the brick floor felt fine. I sat down on the floor against the wall and looked out the door and windows. The wind made the trees sway and the leaves rustle. It felt really good.

Yao Wei came back quickly, and seeing that Lu Xian was not in the car, she also went into the shelter.

"sit."

Lu Xian patted the ground beside him and said.

Yao Wei did not refuse and came over to sit next to Lu Xian.

She followed Lu Xian's gaze out the window, and after a long moment, she said, "It doesn't seem like anything..." "It wasn't anything in the first place."

Lu Xian smiled and said, "But it's really a sense of accomplishment. Every brick and tile here was built by us."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded, thinking that what Lu Xian said made sense.

When she was standing outside and looking at this place yesterday, she felt inexplicably happy. Sitting here today, this feeling was even stronger.

The wind was howling outside the window, and suddenly it started to rain, "pattering" and it got heavier in a blink of an eye.

Because the doors and windows only had window frames, the rain poured in at an angle, some of which splashed onto people's bodies, making them feel a little cold.

"Wait here for me, I'll get a sheet."

Lu Xian stood up, patted his butt and said.

Yao Wei was a little confused: "What are you doing with the bed sheet?"

"As a door curtain."

Lu Xian said, "The rain is getting heavier, and your period is coming. It's not good to run back to the car in the rain, so why not just stay here.

"I'll get a sheet from the car and cover the door. You sit by the door and I'll sit by the window to prevent the rain from splashing on you."

Yao Wei said, "It's nothing at all."

But Lu Xian smiled and said, "It's so hard to build a shelter, we have to enjoy the feeling of being sheltered from the wind and rain."

Yao Wei frowned and said, "But it's raining so hard outside, you'll get wet if you go out."

Lu Xi'an felt warm in his heart, but he still smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'm not afraid. I don't have my period."

"..."

Yao Wei was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you planning to take your own curtain?"

Lu Xian asked with a smile: "Why, do you want me to take yours?" He actually did intend to take his own.

Yao Wei shook her head and said, "Take both mine and yours, and cover the windows so you don't get splashed by the rain."

She said it firmly, and Lu Xi'an felt warm in his heart and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

So Lu Xian crawled out of the shelter and jumped into the rain, went back to the car, took out his bed sheet, and took the four nails used to fix the shovel and wooden pole, and then returned to the shelter.

He measured his measures and nailed both sides of the sheet above the door and windows, and the light in the shelter suddenly dimmed.

The wind outside blew the newly made door curtains and window curtains upwards, letting in some light and rain from time to time, but it was much better than before.

Lu Xian thought about it, then went outside to pick up a few bricks and brought them in - these were leftovers from building the wall the day before yesterday.

He took two bricks and placed them on the windowsill to hold down the "curtains", and then took a few bricks and placed them at the door to hold down the "door curtains". In this way, rain and light could only come in a little from the sides.

The wind and rain caused the "curtains" and "door curtains" to bulge inward, but it didn't matter. Lu Xian and Yao Wei both confirmed that the nails and bricks could hold up.

They felt the wind and rain outside in this not-so-big space, and suddenly smiled at each other.

Lu Xian said: "It seems that it is not much different from being in the car. In the car, we can even hear raindrops hitting the roof."

Yao Wei said, "But we built this place. And the space is bigger than in the car."

"Makes sense."

Lu Xian nodded, then remembered something, opened the "door curtain" and rushed out to the side.

He moved so quickly that Yao Wei waited until he left before asking, "What are you doing now?"

"The fireplace isn't working yet. It's a little chilly, so it's a good time to try it out."

As Lu Xian spoke, he reached in and pressed the bricks on the edge of the "door curtain" before returning to the car.

This time he took corn husks, corn cobs, some firewood, and a lighter. He put the lighter in his pocket and covered the rest with his clothes to avoid getting wet.

After running back to the shelter, he re-pressed the bricks and started tinkering with the fireplace.

Yao Wei also followed.

The two fiddled with the wind and rain for a while, built a fire in the fireplace, and lit it with a lighter and corn husks.

The fire started, and the smoke drifted outside through the chimney. The fire in the shelter suddenly reminded Lu Xian of the scene when he was a child doing his homework with a candle.

He didn't know why he thought of these things, but when he thought of them, it seemed that this small shelter felt a little more sentimental.

He sat on the edge of the fireplace, watching the fire and the door curtains to prevent the wind from blowing the "door curtains" in and igniting them.

Of course, this is just a precaution. At the moment, the wind and rain do not seem to be getting stronger, so the "door curtain" will be fine.

"It's a little hot down there."

After a while, Yao Wei suddenly lowered her head and looked down, and said in surprise.

"Yeah. I felt it too."

Lu Xian nodded in agreement, feeling the warmth on his butt from the floor heating.

He never expected that the shelter he and Yao Wei made randomly according to the memory video would actually be built!

"Crash, lala, lala -"

It's still raining outside.

The shelter was illuminated by the firelight from the fireplace, causing Lu Xian and Yao Wei's shadows to fall heavily on the wall, almost filling the entire wall.

The two looked at each other's silhouettes illuminated by the firelight and couldn't help but smile at each other.
