Everyone is scratching their heads. If they want to save the murals, it means that even the walls have to be transported away. Doesn't this mean demolishing the temple?

Yuanni studied the murals carefully, "Maybe there is no need to demolish the temple. These paintings are not painted directly on the rocks. The rocks are coated with mud..."

Everyone looked at it together, and sure enough, there was a thin layer of soil underneath the mural, with straw mixed in the soil. The mural was actually painted on a clay tablet.

"It seems that the mural can be removed directly, which saves the labor of carrying it down the mountain. However, other procedures are more complicated." Comrade Wang sighed.

"You're right. The amount of work is huge. It's impossible for just a few of us to finish it. Even if we finish it, we don't have the tools to keep the murals, so we still have to report it."

“Whether it’s demolishing a temple or uncovering a painting, it’s up to a few of us to decide,” Comrade Wang made a decisive decision, “Old Li, go down the mountain and report the latest situation to the leader.

In particular, we need to emphasize that we need a box that can safely store the murals. It must be waterproof and shockproof. Let them make the box and bring it up at once. "

Lao Li was the one who was carrying the little ghost statue, but he ducked and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll get down right now."

Comrade Wang looked at Yuanni again, "Comrade Yuanni, this trip has made you tired, how about you go down the mountain too?"

Yuan Ni shook her head, "I'd better stay. I can still be of some help when it comes to unveiling the mural."

Yuan Ni was able to go up the mountain because the county leaders directly called the recycling station and seconded her. Since she was on a business trip, she couldn't just run away half-finished.

"That's okay, you can stay. It's difficult to walk on the mountain road now."

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and it was raining heavily outside. Everyone warned Lao Li to be careful. After seeing Lao Li off, a few people continued to organize the murals.

The location of this mountain temple is very dangerous. It happens to be located in a valley. As long as there is a flood on the mountain, it will definitely hit the mountain temple.

And for so many years, the statues and murals in the mountain temple have not been damaged. I wonder if it is God's will, or is there another mystery in the temple?

"It must be luck. In my impression, Dan County has always had little rain and drought. Even if there is an occasional flood coming down the mountain, it is impossible to cover the mural, so the mural is fine." Comrade Wang said with emotion.

Yuan Ni stroked the mural and felt the heat on her fingertips, "Oh, originally the mural still had a protective layer, but we accidentally took off the outermost layer."

"The key problem is not the protective layer. If the water overflows the wall, the protective layer will be useless." Comrade Wang asserted.

This is possible, because the murals were painted on a layer of mud. As long as the mud layer falls off when exposed to water, the murals will not be preserved.

Seeing lightning and thunder outside, and the sky getting darker and darker, Comrade Wang's expression became serious, "It's getting dark. They probably won't be able to get through today. We have to be prepared to spend the night in the mountains."

The comrade who stayed behind quickly pointed to the corner of the wall, where a large bundle of things was wrapped in plastic sheeting. "The beddings are all there. We will take them out when we have a rest."

Why not just put it on the ground?It has been raining continuously and it is very humid in the mountains. If you keep it on the ground, the bedding will absorb moisture and become useless.

After solving the accommodation problem, it’s time to fill our stomachs.

The comrades who stayed behind took out the oil lamp and lit it. This was a typical wind lamp that was wind-proof and safe.

The mountain temple still has old-fashioned windows, and the paper on them has long been weathered. The mountain breeze comes in through the window lattice, and if you light a candle, it will have been blown out.

The left-behind comrades hung up the angry wind lantern with great skill. A gust of wind blew by and the wind lantern swayed, along with the shadow of the mountain god.

Comrade Wang looked at Yuan Ni with an apologetic expression, "The conditions are a bit difficult, so we can only eat dry food."

“It’s good to have food and shelter.”

After working for a long time, Yuan Ni was already hungry. She opened the backpack she carried with her, took out the dry food and oil buns, and gave them to Comrade Wang and the comrades who stayed behind first. "Would you like to try my grandma's craftsmanship?"

Youmo is a thousand-layer cake. When kneading the dough, you add clear oil and chopped green onion, and then fry it over low heat. It is considered a relatively delicate dry food.

The left-behind comrade was surprised and delighted, "It's great, I just want to eat this."

Comrade Wang opened a few cans. He chose a can of beef and gave it to Yuan Ni, "Just eat this, it's nutritious."

He ate a canned yellow peach by himself.

The left-behind comrade looked at the can and sighed. Comrade Yuan Ni and Wang had just gone up the mountain and could still eat. He had been eating for several days...

Nowadays, the canned beef is made of real ingredients, and the more you eat it, the more delicious it becomes. After eating one can and eating half a steamed bun, Yuan Ni felt full.

It was wrapped in plastic paper and the bedding was not damp.

This was originally the weight used by the two of them. Comrade Wang gave Yuan Ni one set, and he and the left-behind comrade used one set.

"Let's just lie down. This place is drafty. If you sleep hard, you will catch a cold."

The three of them wandered around looking for a place in the temple. The place behind the statue was narrow and airtight.

However, the statue looks ferocious, and lying behind it is really scary.

Comrade Wang and the comrades left behind decided to lie under the window. Although the wind was a bit strong here, they could stay away from the statue.

Yuanni looked around and spread the quilt under the mural, "This place is against the wall to protect it from the wind."

Comrade Wang agreed, "Don't stay too far away, as you will be scared in the middle of the night."

This is not Comrade Wang's alarmist talk. He slept in a daze until midnight. When he opened his eyes and saw the blue-faced and red-haired Mountain God, everyone would be afraid.

Yuanni took off her raincoat and spread it on the ground, then started to spread the mattress.

Although I wore rubber rain boots on my feet, it was too humid in the mountains. After running around for a day, my socks were already soaked through.

Yuanni took off her wet socks, put on dry socks, and then lay down fully clothed.

As soon as she lay down, she realized that the quilt was damp and not warm...

Yuanni curled up, breathed into her hands, and silently muttered in her heart that everything was for the sake of cultural relics.

"I said, Lao Wu, these are your socks. You can't hang them in front of the mountain god, right?"

"I didn't expect it to be so wet on the mountain. I only brought a pair of socks, which must be dried, otherwise I won't be able to wear them tomorrow." The left-behind comrades were very helpless.

People who have never lived in the mountains have a hard time imagining how humid it is. In rainy weather, everyone wears rubber rain boots, but these socks are still wet.

"Grandpa Mountain God doesn't blame you. It would be nice if you could light a fire and get rid of the moisture."

"That's right. It would be even more beautiful if we could make a fire and roast a rabbit."

Listening to Comrade Wang and Comrade Wu chatting, Yuan Ni wanted to laugh inexplicably. She also didn't know how the blue-faced and red-haired mountain god grandpa would react when he smelled the smell of smelly socks.

I don’t know how long I had been lying there, but suddenly there was the sound of footsteps, and a big blue-faced red-haired face appeared in front of Yuan Ni, “You juniors, how dare you blaspheme God?”
