Chapter 31: April 95 sky light

April 95 sky light

The stone resources of Luhe Village in the lower reaches are not as rich as that of Shanghe Village. The stones for building houses are not collected but plucked. After the iron pickaxes are cut into the mountain rocks, the large stones are jointly carried to the construction site with wooden sticks and hemp ropes, and the smaller ones are completed. When the baskets were carried to the construction site, preparations had already begun before the land had thawed. Those people moved rocks almost day and night, and no one was willing to be lazy, for fear that I would kick them out and exchange this good job for someone else.

Under normal circumstances, the village hires people to move rocks for one gold coin every 14 days. Even without food, one gold coin is enough for an adult's rations for about 20 days. I hired the best strong laborers in the village, a total of nine people. One gold coin every ten days, and a meal with meat at noon. They are very energetic and work more than thirteen hours a day. The stone moved in ten days has built several hills. I built the original two houses. More than enough.

At the end of the month, the stone gate opened wide. I walked through the stone gate with a stack of blueprints, and went to the civilized world to make the final revisions to the blueprints, and prepare to start construction the next time I return.

I was very lazy during the holidays. In addition to homework during the winter vacation, I was busy with the drawings of the house. My parents didn’t understand when I was holding a stack of paper all day to sketch and sketch. In their opinion, I might as well visit the canteen when I have time. , make them easy too.

The problem of the structure of the heated kang was solved through my visit to the elderly residence. He told me that there are many kinds of materials for the heated kang. Some places like to use red sandstone with a relatively soft and fragile texture. There are also complete mud embryos in the local area, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the production process is similar.

I have never seen red sandstone around Luhe Village, and the mud embryo also needs to be matched with bricks. No one in Luhe Village can burn bricks, so I can only choose the stone kang.

After listening carefully to the explanation of the structure and working principle of the stone kang, I still felt unsafe, so I specifically asked the other person to take me to his relative's house in the countryside to see the kang there, and even after I spent the money, I would not use a partial room for a long time. The kang inside was completely disassembled, so I took a closer look inside and out, and restored it with my own hands before I was relieved. I took seven or eight pages of notes and took care of everything the other party said that the kang needed to be paid attention to.

In the process of restoring the heated kang by myself, I noticed my preference for sand, dust and stones. I don’t know why I always like to hold the soil and rub the sand with my hands. It is said that I am in the opposite world. I have a bed, but so far I still live in a grass nest. On the one hand, it is convenient. On the other hand, the grass nest is cushioned on the stone. The texture and smell of the stone wall and the stone floor make me feel at ease.

I'm so worried about myself, I feel like a pervert, if it's not that I can't overcome the psychological obstacles, I really want to lie down and roll on the ground, and even want to bury myself in the ground, what the hell is wrong with me?

The witch doctor's words made me very concerned. She said that I have earth magic, I am different from others, and she has already seen this difference. How am I different from others?

On the second day when I returned home from the countryside, the sun was shining brightly, and dust was flying in the sunlight coming in through the window. I don’t know if I thought of the witch doctor’s words or some other reason. of dust in his hands.

The trajectory of the dust became messy, and my palms seemed to have some kind of suction, and the bright spots flying in the sunlight rushed to gather toward my palms, and instantly condensed into a small ball.

I was startled, my hands retracted as if they were scalded, and the sesame-sized clod fell to the ground and scattered.

what happened?

I'm at a loss, did I just control the dust?

I have special abilities! ?

I stretched out my hand again, and the dust block that had fallen to the ground and had spread out floated up and down as I thought, and other dust in the air also gathered towards it again, making it bigger again.

Large sesame-grain-like lumps of dust floated over my hands, its state subverting my common sense, and I could hardly believe it was true.

I was pleasantly surprised to control the dust ball to move slowly in the palm of my hand. I could feel that it had a tendency to fall out of my control and fall to the ground when the speed was fast, but I stared at it in time and pulled it up with my mind.

This is a magical power, I don't even know if I have this ability suddenly, or I have it before, I just didn't notice it.

I tried to make the dust mass larger again, and found that the bigger the dust mass, the slower my control over it, when the dust mass gathered to the size of a mung bean, I couldn't make it float in the air, and I couldn't concentrate, feeling Dizzy, the whole person is very tired, and has a headache like a cold.

I quickly gave up controlling the dust mass, took a deep breath, and rested for a while before I felt my headache eased. The discomfort in my body prevented me from using my "special powers" again. After lunch, I had a full sleep. Complete recovery.

I have special abilities.

I can control the fine powder of everything around me, shreds of paper, iron filings, shreds of hair, sand and even water droplets, but the degree of control I have over these things varies greatly.

The best thing I can control is not dust but sand. I can control a pea-sized mass of building sand with uniform particles, and it can fly in the air with ease and is relatively smooth;

iron filings are a little worse, about the same as dust Iron filings less than the size of a mung bean are the limit of my control. I can use my mind to make half a needle roll on the table, but I can't lift it off the table.

I can barely control scraps of paper and hair. The amount is smaller than mung beans, and it is very slow, especially exhausting, and a little more will give me a splitting headache;

the most difficult thing is to count the water, a drop dripping from my fingers is the limit I can control, I can't help it Let that drop of water fly up, just make it float in the air when it falls, and the round water droplets are as clear as little gems in the air, very beautiful, but unfortunately I can only hold on for five or six seconds, and it will make me dizzy if it lasts longer. Dazzling.

I have tried these rules time and time again. I only dare to try my supernatural powers when I have a good night’s sleep and are full of energy. Moving a rock the size of a pea for three minutes with my mind is more tiring than if I squeeze a steel pipe and practice hard for two hours. If I hadn't been able to feel the slightest progress I made every time, I really wouldn't have the patience to study my supernatural abilities.

The discovery of the "supernatural power" made me extremely excited, but no one could share my joy, and I was not so depressed.

This fact is a bit of a mess for me. I can only use it once a day, and the effect is very limited. I can only play with some sand or small stones, but it is by no means useless, at least when I clean my house. I am worried about the dust falling on the cleaned table. In fact, there is no such thing as "dust" in my house now. I am a walking "vacuum cleaner". Wherever I go, the dust will quickly move towards me and gather into small particles. The dust ball, after it condenses, I control it and bounce it into the trash can, which is simple and convenient.

My parents admired how I was able to keep my house "spotless". They didn't even understand how I kept all the dust in the corners of the house so clean.

Of course, after the house is clean, it is not without side effects. For example, I am upset when I see someone opening the door. In my opinion, every time I open the door, piles of dust will spew into our clean house, and I will be dusted in half a minute. It's just unbearable for me to waste my hard work.

Our small county in the north is like this in winter. The dust is heavy, and I have no better way to collect the dust than to repeatedly use the special ability to collect the dust.

Before school started, I went to the clothes store to buy a set of clothes that were exactly the same as mine. The previous set was too small and no longer fit.

I walked around in front of the mirror in my cool clothes, the same clothes, obviously I look much better now than I did before, my arms and legs are longer than before, and the facial contours have changed, although I still look young It looks so pleasing to the eye, I want to take a picture to record what I look like now.

When the school started, Liang Jiangbo was very satisfied when he saw that I was wearing the same clothes as his. He said that this clothes really suits me very well. After a holiday, my temperament has improved, and it is all due to the clothes.

I laughed a little smugly, I have been recording my height for the last few months, and every month I can grow 1 cm on this side and 1 cm on the opposite side, so I grow twice as fast as normal Come.

Now I am 1.46 meters, not the shortest elf in the class, and I have the appearance of a high school student, so I am no longer regarded as a child.

My head teacher also made a fuss about me. She said that I used to have beautiful eyes and beautiful eyes, but I didn't expect to look better after a new year. My face was as tender as a porcelain doll, and my skin was white and rosy.

The class teacher's words shocked me to the outside, and the classmates laughed. I felt embarrassed. I looked in the mirror and thought I was pretty, but I didn't think I was a beautiful boy.

In fact, I am also worried about my appearance. My eyes are now a very light brown color, and my hair color is also light brown like malnutrition. If the head teacher had not seen my short inch head slowly grow into long hair, Definitely suspect me of dyeing my hair.

In my school, students are not allowed to dye their hair and perm their hair. Once I entered the school gate, the school leader stopped me and asked me to dye my hair black. It was my head teacher who solved the problem. After all, my eyebrows and eyelashes are the same color.

My hair and eye color are very rare in our county. There are some adults with long tongues in the alley secretly saying that I am actually half a little foreigner. She said that my mother had an affair with a foreigner in a foreign church before, which made me angry. I just wanted to fight those bastards.

My classmates in school praised me for being handsome and beautiful. I was not happy at all before, because I was short and always had low self-esteem. Now it is different. When they praise me, I will laugh shyly, Then complacent, vanity is greatly satisfied.

This silly dog ​​Liang Jiangbo is also very happy. I am more popular than before. He thinks it is all his credit. He said that if he hadn't been taking care of me, a local dog in the canteen, it would never grow and become more beautiful. Those who are close to Zhu are red".

Liang Jiangbo was originally alone, but this semester has gotten worse. When the rest of the class came to me and talked to me, he chased others like a son of a bitch. He said that we are all good students, and it is trash who engages in puppy love and ambiguous things.

I fucking wonder when I became a good student.

The first week of school was the end of the month, and that night I put on a leather suit and crossed the stone gate again.

Using Ah Fu as a pillow and sleeping on my son's cushion is much more secure than being alone. This is a hard-won peaceful life.

I still commute to get off work on time as usual. As the weather warms and it begins to thaw, the construction of my new home has begun. The first is to dig a cellar.

The cellar is the place where I will store food and take refuge in the future. In the design, the cellar of my house is dug quite deep. Fortunately, it is already on a high slope, so I can dig while digging and build it, otherwise, there is really not that much manpower.

The three-meter-by-four-meter cellar took half a month to complete. After the bottom and surrounding areas were compacted, a large piece of stone was placed on it. It was done by experienced people at the top of the village. The gaps were spliced ​​very carefully. It is absolutely impossible to drill a hole in.

There's a fireplace in the wall, and I could have a fire in the basement for heating and cooking if I wanted to.

After the half-meter-thick basement wall and floor were built, pillars were placed in the reserved positions. The four pillars that could only be hugged by one person were firmly stuck in the stone nest, and wooden beams for the floor began to be erected on top of them.

The extravagant method I used to lay the whole row of logs horizontally stunned the people in the whole Luhe Village. Usually, most people use planks and wooden slats to build the floor. They have never heard of my way of laying the floor with more than a dozen beams.

After the log is laid, the top is first covered with gravel to fill the gap, and then rammed and paved with large stone slabs. If it is not known in advance, it is impossible to see that the bottom of the slab is not soil, but supported by wooden beams.

The house above the ground is larger than the cellar. It is a rectangle of four meters by five meters. The walls are half a meter thick and three meters high. The flue for the kang and the fireplace is reserved. The fireplace is in the center of the room, and there are also flower ponds and square windows supported by four logs. The windows are very rough in workmanship. In fact, they can only be regarded as a wooden door in the air, but it is very unfamiliar to the villagers. thing.

The heated kang was also built with stones. The hand of the mason in the village is really clever, and it was done very accurately according to my description. The large stone slabs built the heated kang very flat. After sealing the gap with the glue I got from the river and drying it in the shade, I tried to burn it once.

Finally, there is the roof. The roof skeleton is a herringbone shape supported by logs. The upper layer is covered with thick straw mats that have been smeared with animal fat and dried, and then large slates are laid from top to bottom like scales. The only roof in the village that is not afraid of rain or fire.

My house was an eye-opener for the whole village. They never thought that the house could be built like this. Many people with savings were eager to try it. They asked the masons and other workers who built the house many times about the fireplace in my house. The details and the function of the heated kang, but I didn't teach them for free. I just told the clerk the method and details of building the fireplace without reservation, and he told other craftsmen to be a good man.

The clerk highly appreciates my approach. His family's great business doesn't care about the money he can make by building fireplaces. What he cares more about is his reputation. Now the workers in the village are thinking of his goodness, which makes him more sure to talk to me. Doing business is the right decision.
