The living conditions in the remote areas of the plateau are poor, and it is not easy to transport building materials, so most people build houses by themselves.After hearing Ningbu's explanation, Tezuka Kunimitsu and Sanada Genichiro didn't think too much, and directly agreed to Granny Ade's condition.

The place where the house was suggested was not far from the village. Ningbu brought Sanada and Tezuka there, and saw a lot of wood and tiles piled up in an open space, and a few men were digging the foundation beside it. Judging by the size, it probably It's almost finished.

Seeing that Ning Bu brought two strangers, the adults stopped what they were doing and looked at them suspiciously. An old man walked up to Ning Bu and asked them why they came in dialect.

When Ning Bu said that Halal Field and the others were here to help Granny Ade, the old man turned his head and looked at them several times, as if he did not believe their abilities, but finally nodded, and after a few words with Ning Bu, Then he turned around and went to work with others.

Ning Bu turned his head, and he said to Tezuka Guoguang: "Grandpa Gu Ren said, let you do the simplest work, just help my mother put the mud into the mold."

Since it was the simplest job, it was a completely unfamiliar field for Tezuka and Sanada. Tezuka Kunimitsu pushed up his glasses and said, "Please tell me how we should do it."

Ning Bu smiled and said to Tozuka: "Don't worry, I will teach you."

After speaking, Ningbu took them to the bottom of the slope, where a large pit was dug, and inside it was reconciled mud. Two women in their 40s and [-]s were stirring the mud with wooden sticks. There is a pile of molds made of wooden blocks, and I don't know what they are used for.

Ningbu greeted one of the women, took a mold first, filled the mud in the pit with his hands, and said by the way: "This is a mold for bricks, you just need to fill it with mud, don't have any Air bubbles, otherwise the burnt bricks are easy to break."

While speaking, Ning Bu had installed several molds, he raised his face and said to Tozuka with a smile: "How about it, it's very simple."

Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded, asked a few key points, and then relayed to Sanada.

There was an earthy smell in the mud. Thinking of using his hands and mud directly, Sanada was a little bit hesitant to do it, but before he could give himself mental training, Tezuka Kunimitsu had already learned how to put the mud into the mold with Ningbu .Genichiro Sanada was so heartbroken that he also took a mold and made it together. The two women who won the mud award would look at them from time to time at the beginning, but in the end they all lowered their heads to do their work.

With Ningbu's guidance, Tezuka Kunimitsu mastered the technique in a short while. On the contrary, Sanada Genichiro, Tezuka has already installed more than a dozen, and he has just installed two or three, or it is from the mold. The mud was overflowing, or the mud prize was still bubbling.Ning Bu was overjoyed to see him flustered.

Seeing Ning Bu laughing, Genichiro Sanada glared at him unhappily, this kid is almost as unlovable as Zuo Zhu at home.

Ning Bu made a grimace at Genichiro Sanada, then turned to Tsuka Guoguang and said, "He's so stupid."

Tezuka Kunimitsu raised his eyebrows. Although Sanada has always been a bit clumsy in doing things, Tezuka was still a little upset when he heard that he was rejected by Ningbu, and said lightly; pass."

Ever since Ning Bu got acquainted with them, he felt that the coffin-faced man was always in a daze. He didn't expect him to have some great qualities, so he asked with interest, "What's so great about him?"

Before Tezuka could answer, Genichiro Sanada next to him cleared his throat, looked at Tezuka and asked in a low voice, "Are you speaking ill of me?"

Tezuka cast a cold glance at the narrow-minded man, and replied in a cold voice: "Yes."

Immediately, Sanada was speechless.

Although Ningbu on the side couldn't understand their conversation, seeing Sanada's deflated look, he couldn't help laughing again.

Several women who were stirring the mud with wooden sticks also laughed. Tezuka looked up at them. Probably due to long-term labor, the arms of the two women were a little swollen. He was not very good at pouring mud, so he said, "Go and help them stir the mud."

Genichiro Sanada responded, washed his hands, and planned to take over their work, but Ningbu tilted his head and said, "It's very hard to stir the mud."

Sanada didn't understand what he was saying, but he gave Ningbu a cold look. Then, one of the women smiled at Sanada, handed him the wooden stick in her hand, and sat down to put it in the mold box. mud.

Sure enough, the work of mixing the mud seemed easy, but you had to bend over all the time, and you had to keep your hands moving at a constant speed. After a while, Genichiro Sanada's forehead was covered with sweat. Seeing Ningbu, I didn't know what to say to him, but looking at his smiling expression, it was probably not a good word, Sanada gave him another hard look, gritted his teeth and continued with the work in hand.

Half a day later, all the molds were filled with mud. These molds needed to be taken to a cool place to dry in the shade, and then sent to the cave to be fired into bricks the next day. Sanada and Tezuka moved all the molds to the I went to set it up in an empty room, and brought a batch of empty molds.

At this moment, Granny Ade called from the slope. Ningbu put down the mold in his hand, and Tezuka said happily, "It's time to eat." The two women also put down the molds in their hands, facing Tezuka and Sanada I didn't know what to say, so I went up first.

When Sanada and Tezuka followed Ningbu back to the open space, there were already many people sitting around eating on the ground. Seeing them coming, someone automatically made room for them. Sanada and Tezuka did not refuse, and they thanked each other. , sat down directly.

Lunch is a very unique local food, which is naturally much richer than what Tezuka Kunimitsu made in the morning. Although Granny Ade kept chanting words that Sanada and Tezuka could not understand, but after they sat down, they gave the food to the two. The man cut a few large pieces of jerky, and put two bowls of broth in front of them.

Probably because they haven't done physical work for a long time, Sanada and Tezuka were already hungry, thanked Granny Ade, and they buried their heads in eating.

After lunch, Granny Ade and several women were cleaning up the dishes. Tezuka Kunimitsu saw that Granny Ade's legs and feet seemed to be inconvenient when walking, so he turned to look at Ningbu and asked, "Grandma Ade's legs and feet are not good?"

Ning Bu nodded, and replied: "Many old people here will be like this. In the past, doctors in the city came here to help, and it seems that it is rheumatism."

Tezuka Kunimitsu said, "Can I show Granny Ade?"

Ning Bu's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked, "Are you a doctor?" Tezuka nodded, Ning Bu turned his head, and said a few words to the crowd. Then, all the people looked at him in surprise, Ning Bu said a few more words to them, and everyone looked at Tezuka with some admiration in their eyes.

Teachers and doctors are the most scarce on the plateau. These two professions have always been respected by everyone here. For a while, even Grandpa Gu Ren said a few words to Tezuka, and Ning Bu helped translate; "Grandpa said you The doctor is very young."

Granny Ade seemed reluctant to ask Tezuka to help her see a doctor, but after repeated persuasion by Ningbu, she finally agreed. She sat beside Tezuka Kunimitsu, mumbling all the time, as if she was complaining about something.

Tezuka Kunimitsu squatted in front of Granny Ade, he rolled up her trouser legs, and saw that her legs had become a little distorted due to the long-term illness, the loose skin was covered with blue veins, and the whole knee was red and swollen. It looked like he had suffered from rheumatism for many years.

Although Tezuka Kunimitsu was not a professional doctor in this field, he could tell that the old man was seriously ill. Tezuka Kunimitsu pressed on Granny Ade's leg a few times, and asked Ning Bu, "How does the old man usually treat it?"

Ningbu frowned. He shook his head and said, "We don't have a hospital here. Grandma Ade can only bear it when she's sick." After thinking for a while, he said, "It's warmer now, and I can go out for a walk. In winter, Grandma Ade never gets out of bed."

Tezuka Kunimitsu listened, and fell silent. A severe rheumatism like Granny Ade must go to the hospital for special treatment. The conditions here are really bad. Just looking at the wrinkles on the old man's face, Tezuka Knowing that such a condition would be difficult for her to satisfy, he thought for a while and said to Ningbu: "Tell my mother-in-law to stir-fry coarse salt and put it in a cloth bag. When it hurts, put it on the affected area to relieve pain." pain."

Ning Bu turned his head and told Granny Ade what Tezuka had said. Granny Ade said something, put down her trouser legs, and continued to work.

When continuing to work in the afternoon, Tezuka Kunimitsu seemed a little dull, Genichiro Sanada naturally knew what he was thinking, and he asked, "Kunimitsu, are you thinking about Granny Ade's rheumatism?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu did not deny it, but being a doctor but being unable to help patients is probably the saddest thing.

Genichiro Sanada looked at him and said, "Don't think too much about it, let's do what we have in hand, now help Granny Ade more, and let her do less is to help her."

Tezuka Kunimitsu remained silent, but his hands moved faster.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the molds were filled with mud. Genichiro Sanada and Kunimitsu Tezuka helped move these molds to a cool room, and their work was completed.

There were two betels on the side, which contained brown dry matter. Ning Bu ran over and said happily, "That's the dried cow dung that Grandma Ade gave you, and it can be used for a long time."

Tezuka and Sanada were a little excited when they thought that they had bought this place with their own labor. Even looking at the dried cow dung was not as unacceptable as imagined.
