Obligations of the elderly

Everyone quietly watched the slowly burning palace in the air, until Xiliu said to everyone with a smile:

"It will disappear in a while."

"Speak up about this kind of thing!" Peiyun Ji snorted, shot out a light screen from her wrist, and took pictures one by one of the fire pictures in the sky.When he took this shot, the others woke up and started to use the camera function of their wrist computers one after another. They also simply divided into groups. Each person was responsible for a certain area. Just disappeared.

"Everyone only took part of the photos, and the design drawings that have been taken...to whom should I collect them?" Someone asked, looking back and forth between Peiyun Ji and Xiliu, not knowing who to give it to .

Pei Yun——They all know that they are the most capable in their generation, and they are also direct descendants. Even if they don't come to the ancestral house, they often hear about him at home, and everyone has a vague intention to regard him as the leader; Now another brook pops up, although I don’t know which one he belongs to, but he is kind (offering to eat for everyone), knows Ji Gong so well (can draw design drawings), and his ability seems to be very powerful (super Cool)... No matter how you look at it, it looks quite trustworthy!

Everyone thought so, their eyes circled between the stream and Peiyun, not knowing what to do.

"Give it to him." At this moment, Xiliu pointed to Peiyun Ji in the corner with his finger.

"Everyone, go to bed quickly. We will start working tomorrow." Xiliu finished speaking, nodded to everyone, climbed into his car first, lowered the seats, and adjusted the chairs for the palace. Xiliu signaled to the palace. You can come and sleep now.

"What... what should I do?" Chihu Ji blinked.

Xiliu pointed to the rear compartment: "All the things that were put there before have been taken out, and now it's quite empty inside. Go and sleep over there, there are blankets over there."

It was originally a sports car, and the rear compartment originally had the function of allowing people to rest and use it during travel.

After scratching her hair, Chihu Ji opened the rear compartment and went to sleep.

Like Xiliu said, everyone sent the photos they took to Peiyun Ji and went to bed. After all, they were all teenagers. Although they had witnessed such a big "change", everyone slept quite well. I felt that it was dawn, probably because yesterday was too late, and even Gongsi didn't wake up on time the next day, not to mention the stream that sleeps very casually.

Lying upright on the driver's seat and falling asleep, the stream was awakened by someone knocking on the car window.

With a soft moan, Xiliu gracefully stretched his arms, turned his head to look, and then met Peiyun Ji with red eyes outside the car window.

"Hmm... good morning?" Rolling down the car window, Xiliu smiled and said good morning to the other party.

"...Good morning." The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but Peiyun Ji finally replied, and then handed him a thick notebook.

"What is this?" Xiliu said, took the notebook over, flipped through it, no need to ask, he already knew what it was.

"You put all the photos on the notebook? It's such a thick pile... Could it be that you haven't slept all night?" Xiliu looked at him.

The notebook that Peiyun Ji handed over was the design that Xiliu and the others drew yesterday!Transcribed in the book one by one room by room, look carefully, it is still a hand-painted version!

No wonder the eyes are red. Judging by the workload, Peiyun probably has to wear a layer of skin on his fingers, right?Xiliu looked at Peiyun Ji on the opposite side, and finally said something very embarrassing: "Actually, you just need to collect other people's photos. I have a printer and printing paper here."

"Although it was a gift brought over."

Stream also added a sentence.

When hearing these words, Peiyun Ji's expression was simply indescribable.

"Who would give a printer as a gift!" Ordinary people forget it, but this is Sheyun Ji!

Even a slightly depressed young man like Peiyun Ji couldn't help but raise his voice.

"I want to know too." Who would put all the printers in the shopping cart, or a pink and pink printer that looks like a toy, and the same type of printing paper-Xi Liu thought.

He just wanted to remind Peiyun Ji not to speak loudly, so as not to wake up Gong Si, but it was too late, and Gong Si had already been quarreled.

"What's wrong?" Gong Si got up from the passenger seat, and adjusted the seat back to its original angle. It seemed that he didn't plan to continue sleeping.

Looking at his watch, Gong Si asked in surprise, "Is it so late?"

The current time is [-]:[-] in the morning, which is actually not too late, but it is indeed a little late for a palace that goes to bed early and gets up early.

Then he saw the design drawing that Peiyun Ji copied in Xiliu's hand.

"The drawing is really good. It's better to have such a paper drawing. Put this book in the public area. You can refer to it when you build a house. Unification uses this design drawing, which is not easy to make mistakes. " Gong Si arranged the matter clearly in a few words, and then he jumped down to wash up.

When he first went down, he was stunned: This is the top of the mountain, where is there water?Is it possible to rinse your mouth with drinking water?It's too extravagant...

He was in a daze when the boy who poured hot water for them yesterday came over. He seemed to have just woken up not long ago. Looking at the toothbrush in Gong Si's hand, he said enviously: "Seeing that you are awake, you are thinking Come here and ask if you want to wash your face with hot water, I didn't expect you to have a toothbrush, I never thought of bringing a toothbrush..."

Actually, I didn't even think about bringing a toothbrush and toothpaste, it was prepared by Xie Kai, Gong Si thought.

Xie Kai is a considerate person. In order to keep his master clean and dignified at all times, he has always prepared everything that may be used wherever they go. He ordered the car, although the things in the rear compartment were bought by Xiliu , but everything in the car was prepared by Xie Kai.

but--

"There seems to be a box of toothbrush and toothpaste in the back of our car." Gong Si pointed to his car.

"Really?!" The boy's eyes widened: "Can it be used? Isn't that a gift from you guys?"

"It's okay, come and get it." Before Gong Si could answer him, Xi Liu had already opened the trunk.Chihuji was sleeping soundly with a cardboard box, and without waking her up, Xiliu opened another small box, handed the boy a set of toothbrush and toothpaste, and then hugged the cardboard box next to the car: "Who needs it later?" Just come and get it, facial cleanser is also available, uh... if girls need makeup, liquid foundation, blush and eye shadow are also available."

"You guys are really well prepared!" The boy was stunned, looking at the box after box of things, the young man was amazed.

As a gift, these things are really... wonderful, but how can they be so practical in the current environment?

Shaking his head, the boy invited Gong Si to go to the side to wash up.

"My name is Xuan Nan Ji. You can call me Anan. My family no longer lives in Jizhou, but in Yingzhou. When you have a chance to visit Yingzhou, you can find me." The young man introduced himself.

"Thank you for the invitation, my name is Gong Si." Gong Si also introduced himself.

"Get up! If you need toothbrush and toothpaste, go to Gongsi Stream to get it. If you need hot water, follow us. I will provide hot water!" Wake up the others, regardless of whether they know Gongsi Xiliu or not, he finished talking first.At first, Gong Si thought that he was familiar with other people, but later on he realized that he didn't know anyone in Yingzhou.

He is the user, and his weapon is a tall and thin boy named Liushui, who looks cold, but the attributes of the two are completely opposite: Nan, who looks cheerful and enthusiastic, is of the water element, while Liushui, who looks cold, is of the fire element. It is also very good.

"We got together, and there happened to be hot water." With a hearty smile, Ah Nan stretched out his hand to hold the flowing water, and a scarlet long sword appeared in his hand. He swiped a few times in the air, and instantly there was hot water gush.

This is by no means the correct way to use this sword—holding a mouthwash cup in his hand and drinking hot water, Gong Si frowned and thought seriously.

I don't know if Ah Nan guessed his thoughts through his expression, Ah Nan smiled and said: "Don't worry about whether it should be used in this way, it will be fine if it is useful?"

"I know you guys." Not long after the hot water was connected to the palace and started to wash, another young man approached beside him, looked at Ah Nan with bright eyes, and said enviously: "You are the most capable person in our generation. One of the two, one is Pei Yunji, and the other is you. You and your weapon have a very high matching rate. The Flowing Water Sword is very similar to the sword that an ancestor was famous for in the family tree. She Yunji even sent someone to I sent you a set of sword manuals!"

"I live so far away and you know me!" Ah Nan was startled: "I thought I was famous in Yingzhou."

Gong Si: So this is a celebrity.

"Coincidentally, I am also of the water element, and my weapon is also a fire element sword. I am still in the adjustment period. The elders mentioned you and asked me to learn from you..."

"It can't be like this. Everyone has their own opportunities. Hobbies, life experiences, and specialties are different, and the tricks that suit you in the end are also different. Don't be disturbed." Ah Nan usually looks big, but When he said such words, he was extremely serious, and his posture was straightened. He was obviously providing hot water for others, but the sword in his hand was only tilted slightly. It was a kind of stunned by him to make such a simple movement. Sword move" feeling.

Ah... I tried it, there are many celebrities who used swords and other weapons in the ancestors of the Xiliu family, and their family is rich in swordsmen——Gongsi thought of it.

"You're right." The other teenager was impressed by him and nodded firmly.

"However—" Seeing the young man nodding, Ah Nan suddenly changed his voice: "You might as well learn how to boil hot water. This is what our teacher taught me. When you can't think of a suitable method for you, you may as well use the two methods." Natural attributes, let me take my side as an example, I am water type, to be precise, ice type, my weapon is fire type, we two are a little bit incompatible, but we have a good relationship, we have decided to make a contract a long time ago , the teacher wants us to use this method to adjust the attributes."

"Don't underestimate this method. If I use too much force on this side, the fire on the other side of the flowing water might be extinguished; if I use less, the flowing water will directly evaporate my energy. I want to burn a pot with a moderate temperature. , just the right amount of water for rinsing your mouth and face is very important, if you don’t believe me, try it.”

Ah Nan generously introduced his experience, the young man next to him nodded repeatedly, not only him, but even Gong Si secretly remembered these words, his younger brothers are nothing but water and ice!The contract hasn't been signed yet, maybe it will be able to use this method in the future!

On his side, he was thinking that the boy had already started to "boil hot water". Sure enough, he overheated at first, and the result was scorching hot water vapor. The next time there was more water, the resultant water was almost cold. ...

"Practice more. There are so many people waiting to wash their faces and brush their teeth. You have a chance to practice." Ah Nan said, patting the boy on the shoulder.

Holding his sword seriously, the boy nodded and patted his chest: "The next hot water will be on me!"

Regardless of whether this "faucet" often fails, at least, there seems to be no shortage of hot water in their small camp.

The young man named Jian Ji took the initiative to boil the water, and the other water system ability users learned and practiced, and undertook other tasks in the camp that required water.

Xiliu counted their current manpower. There are 454 young Jis who came to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony this time, including 365 people with abilities. Among them, there are 201 people from the water system, which clearly dominates the people with abilities. There are 89 ordinary people. 32 people who are capable but have no contracts.

Figure out the manpower, and then start subdividing the work.

The stream divides the work on site into several parts: clearing the ground, laying foundations, logging, and making building materials.

"That's all we need now, and then we'll build walls and things like that. We'll come together when the time comes." Xiliu said, writing down the names of these tasks on paper and putting them aside, and then asked everyone to claim their tasks.

Most of the ability users stand out according to their own abilities, which kind of work is more suitable for them. In the end, the rest are ordinary people and ability users who have no contract.

Other places are fine, but at a time when both efficiency and professionalism are needed, ordinary people are at a disadvantage in comparison.

"Fengxian, you are from the Department of Architecture, and you know Ji Gong very well. You stay here, where to lay the foundation, and how to lay the foundation. You know better than us. You stay here and serve as the commander-in-chief together with... .” Just when everyone didn’t know where to stand, Pei Yun Ji spoke suddenly.

This sentence was spoken to an ordinary boy, the one who drew the design with Xiliu yesterday.

"Ah? Can I do it?" He never expected that he would receive such an important task. He was a little stunned. This position can be said to be the most important position. He always thought that it would be Xiliu or Peiyunji. Yes, I didn't expect Peiyun Ji to leave this position for herself...

"You can. You are a top student in the Department of Architecture of Togakunomiya University. Last year, you won the Newcomer Award of the Department of Architecture. No one in our group is more suitable for this position than you, and...you."

When speaking of this, Peiyun Ji looked towards the stream.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew the other party's ability. In terms of ability alone, the other party was definitely the most powerful here, not to mention that the other party had a convincing temperament. He seemed to understand everything at the same age next year. Not only can he draw design drawings, but he also knows what is needed to build a house. When receiving this task, everyone panicked because they didn't know anything, but he didn't panic. Not only that, he also used his own method to infect other people with this calmness. People, the evidence is: a group of people who were a mess yesterday, have now taken the initiative to take the task and start preparing to work.

"It's okay for me to build an ordinary house, but it's not enough to build a palace. The commander still needs... Fengxian? Your name is Fengxian?" Xiliu said, seeing the young man nodding, he continued: "The commander will let Fengxian Let’s do it first, I’ll just burn the fire next to you like other fire-type users.”

Contrary to Peiyun Ji's expectation, he also dismissed the position of commander in chief.

After taking a deep look at him, Peiyun Ji continued, "I can't help you in other areas. Let's go to the Xingong...the collapsed Xingong to see if we can grab some useful things."

"An ability user without a contract is equivalent to an ordinary person. Let's go there together." He said to the rest of the people.

Then, without further ado, Peiyun Ji drove down the mountain directly with the people.

To be honest, this is the hardest and most tiring job. Without the ability, they can only rely on physical strength to rummage through the ruins. Although the Ji family is not as good as it used to be, the life of each family is still much better than ordinary people. They are all young masters and young ladies at home, and they have never done this kind of physical work, but seeing that Peiyun Ji is busy working, how many of them can live better than Peiyun Ji? Even less masters, such as noble masters such as Peiyun, are already working, and the others dare not be lazy, and they all start to work seriously.

Not to mention, there are really many useful things here:

They found a lot of complete bricks. The bricks here are not ordinary bricks, but a kind of precious wood that was burnt by a fire-system refiner. It can be said that each brick itself is a "tool" , Immortal, non-rotten, with a strange fragrance, in short, it is not an ordinary brick, that is, Sheyun Ji, such an expensive wooden switch can be blown up, and now at least two-thirds have been blown up, leaving only about a third.

Taking a closer look at the intact bricks that were rescued, Peiyun Ji thought for a while and said, "Send them back."

"Although at least one-third of the bricks in each palace were destroyed, there are so many palaces here, and the total number of bricks that survived is still quite a lot. It might be enough to build a palace."

Yes!Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they worked together to load the bricks they found into the car, loaded them one by one, and took the bricks to people on another mountain for research.

"Great idea! These bricks are definitely much better than the ones we are making now. How many do you have over there? I will follow you there to see if there are enough, we will build a palace with these bricks first." Seeing the bricks, the commander-in-chief Fengxian Ji Le was broken, so he followed the car over there. After counting the bricks there, he made a decision at that time: use these bricks!Their brick-burning work can stop for a while!

"However, it's better to strengthen these bricks. Don't we have people with fire ability? Everyone should use their own fire to strengthen these bricks." He said, and immediately sent these bricks to the fire department. On the other side of the brick-burning team composed of capable people.

Gong Si, the invisible leader of the brick-burning team, accepted the bricks.

At that time, he threw a brick into the existing fire kiln and burned it for a while, and he knew after a test: "This brick is fine."

They were also burning bricks just now. They were mud bricks made by people with water and earth abilities. Other people's fire can burn these bricks, but the fire in the palace can't do it at all!

Basically, as soon as the fire from the palace is put in, the bricks will melt. In the final analysis, the materials are not enough.Gongsi was considering whether to lower the requirements and let others fire, and these bricks were sent over.

These bricks not only withstood the burning of Zhu Rong's fire, but after being re-baked, the color changed from the original gold to golden red, which looked radiant and even more beautiful!

"I really don't know who made these bricks. The material is good, and the refining technology is better." Holding a second-tempered brick and observing carefully, Gong Si said with emotion.

Now he has the habits of a craftsman, although his qualifications are not very deep, but his fire is good, and the material is good or not, you can know it by using his fire, and he immediately knows that it is a good thing.

Xiliu smiled mysteriously, hooked his fingers to signal Gong Si to come closer, and when Gong Si put his ear to his mouth, he whispered: "It is said that it is Zhu Rong from the previous generation."

"what?"

"These bricks were forged by the previous generation Zhu Rong with his own fire, um...he is not a craftsman, so he can't be called a refiner, he just baked the wooden bricks in his own fire."

"!" This is also a very remarkable history!He had never heard of it before!Gong Si's eyes widened.

"The last generation of Zhu Rong belonged to our family, to be precise, his user belonged to our family." Xiliu continued to whisper to Gongsi: "But you also know that our family has been from the first generation, from generation to generation. Basically, most of the water system users and utensils, and the majority of utensils are swords, and it’s okay now, originally our family was basically dominated by the water system.”

"Then a fire burst out of a group of water—that is, Zhu Rong's user Vulcan." Xiliu said, Gong Si felt that he shook his head, he didn't see it, but felt the two thin pieces Lips brushed against his ears.

"That was many years ago. People were quite feudal. They thought that two water elements could give birth to a fire element. The father of the fire god belonged to our family. He was a stubborn one. He broke up with his wife who was a water element. His wife At that time, she took her daughter and ran away from home, and never came back, until her daughter made a contract with Zhu Rong, and finally became the legendary Vulcan..."

"Oh my god!" This is great, not only historical figures, but even the people in mythology belong to Xiliu's family?Wait - daughter?Vulcan is a woman?

Gong Si only felt that the revelations he heard today were too exciting!

"Well, it's a woman. After becoming a legend, Vulcan brought Zhu Rong back once and burned his father's newly built palace."

"Huh?" Gong Si was taken aback again.

"So don't listen to what they say that the bricks in Ji Gong's house were carefully forged by a craftsman with fire, and they were actually burned."

"Vulcan was dissatisfied with what her father did back then, and set fire to her father's newly built house. The house happened to be built with a kind of precious tree. Not to mention that it withstood Zhu Rong's fire. It becomes a new material, which no one expected."

"This...that..." Gong Si didn't know what to say anymore.

"In short, Vulcan set fire to his own house, which was regarded as revenge. She never went back to Ji's house. Ji's family wanted her to come back. Such a powerful person, how could he not want her to come back? Naihehuo The gods firmly deny it, and the Ji family still has to lose face, so they simply kept silent, so no one knew that Vulcan was the abandoned son of their family."

From the perspective of a bystander, he told the stupid things about his ancestors again, and Xiliu shrugged his shoulders, as if nothing happened.

"In short, your ancestors must have regretted it afterwards." Gong Si finally said.

"Who said it wasn't? Anyway, many women headed my family later." Shaking his head, Xiliu smiled indifferently.
