Obligations of the elderly

The big man is back!It's back with hot springs!

At the beginning, Gongsi didn't find it, but Xiliu found it: No, why is the big head smoking?

Gong Si leaned over to touch it, and the body of the big head was warm, and then he touched it again, this time it was the dirty water that the big head was staying in at the moment ← just dug out, it has not been settled yet, the water is dirty It's on!

This time, the water he touched was actually hot!

The temperature is not much worse than boiling water!This, this, this...

Looking at the big head who was still soaking in it foolishly, Gong Si instantly understood everything.

"The big head thought he was on fire, so he went to find the underground cold spring to put out the fire, but the fire was indeed extinguished, but the cold spring also turned into a hot spring." Gong Si explained to everyone.

Now everyone came out of the house and squatted in a circle in the newly dug pond, each tried the temperature of the water, and then jerked their hands away.

So hot!Apart from Datou Palace and the stream, no one could bear this temperature!

No, it's not—

The uncle's palm is still soaked in the hot spring water. As a knife maker who works with fire every day, he is not afraid of fire.

Sensing the temperature in the water carefully, the uncle said for a while, "There is a smell of fire here, and the big head should have left fire in it."

"Zhu Rong's fire is not an ordinary fire. It can burn for thousands of years. So—" the uncle pulled his hand out of the scalding water, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved: "There is a hot spring in Lengshui Town."

Then, thinking of the scalding temperature of the spring water, he corrected it again: "No, it's probably a hot spring, the kind that ordinary people can't soak in."

As he was talking, Aji crawled out of the palace father's arms, and stretched out his little hand to reach the big head in the water. The palace father hurriedly grabbed his little hand, but the moment he grabbed him, Aji became A small fat fish, no matter what it wants to jump in the direction of the big head.

Obediently!This time he couldn't jump, Gong Si grabbed his fish tail, but he also vaguely understood Aji's thinking: young children are used to imitating the elders in the family, I don't know what happened, probably the big head was given to Aji I was most impressed, so what Aji imitated was actually a big head, not only because of this, he transformed into a shape in advance, but the transformed shape was still a shrunken version of a big head.

Seeing the big head staying in the pond, Aji probably thought that he should also stay in the pond, at least when he turned into a fish.

After thinking about it, Gongsi put Aji in the hands of the stream, picked up the shovel and continued digging in the pond next to it, dug a small shallow pit, poured the stream water from the outside into it, and attracted the big head. Although the hot water next to it was a bit dirty, when he showed the new puddle to Aji, Aji's big eyes lit up immediately.

Quickly jumping from the embrace of the stream into a smaller puddle, Aji immediately imitated the big head, and grabbed two small fish fins by the pond, looking at the adults surrounded by a pair of big eyes, Aji also opened a small fish mouth and smiled foolishly.

"This is a good way to lead two pipes, and mix hot and cold water together to form a ready-made hot spring. After taking a bath, you don't even need to burn the bath water." Looking at Aji who was soaking comfortably, the uncle thought about it, and after a while He has an idea, but he is not in a hurry to finish it in one day.

After taking Aji out of the dirty water, the uncle asked the palace father and mother to wash Aji, and then let the others rest on their own. The next day, he was busy outside.

Uncle directly welded two metal pipes, one for hot water and one for cold water. Hot water is readily available, and cold water is even more readily available. The construction team sent in to support before has reserved all the water pipes Alright, the water in the pipes is genuine groundwater. People with water abilities and people with earth abilities worked together to find and draw it from the ground. Once the two pipes were finished, they were extended to the bathroom and toilet... So the Gong family had 24 hours hot and cold water system.

Immediately afterwards, the uncle made an all-wooden bathtub by himself. Once the faucet was installed and the hot water was turned on, it was all done!

After finishing the indoor bath, the uncle also made two outside baths, which are more original, directly paved with mud and stones, and expanded on the basis of the two puddles dug by the palace yesterday. The uncle made the two ponds into two circles, one big and one small, with water pipes connecting them, one side is hot water, and the other side is cold water drawn from indoor water pipes.

"Big head can soak wherever he wants, and if everyone wants to soak outdoors." The uncle said this, looked around, probably felt that the mess around the pond was not beautiful, and then he also looked for flower planting species , Arranged the location according to their future growth, the uncle carefully planted a circle of ornamental plants by the pond, and a small slap tree.

"There are plants in every season. The slap tree can grow very big, and it can be placed by the hot spring pool like an umbrella. When it snows, you can enjoy the snow while soaking in the hot spring. With it, the plants next to it can also grow better Some." The uncle said.

After imagining the future life described by the uncle, everyone was fascinated.

Now that the whole house has been rebuilt, the uncle simply redesigned the house. Now that there are more children in the Gong family, there are more rooms than before. The house has changed from two floors to three floors, and even the stream has its own room. !

The bookstore has been retained, and the area has not been expanded too much, but because the floor is higher, more books can be stored inside.Uncle's studio has not changed in design, but it has become two identical ones.

"The one on the right is for Ah Si, he can use it when he gets home." said the uncle.

Really... the uncle really thought of everything - looking at the uncle, Gong Si was a little excited.

After the new home was built, it became a little bigger and more usable on the basis of the original one, but it still seemed full of familiarity, and after all kinds of old furniture snatched by the big head were put in, this familiarity Feel even worse.

It's still the same feeling as before, but it's better than the original feeling, especially now that the whole family is here, and the new home is built by the whole family and friends together. Looking at the new home, Gong Si's heart is extremely peaceful.

Standing at the gate of their new home, they took a photo together.

Then I went to help other people who hadn't built their houses yet.

There are many palace families, the key is that there is an uncle who knows how to design and can work, and has an uncle who directs them. The work of their family can be done neatly and well. Many other families are still arguing about the design drawings. The house of the Gong family is ready to move in. .

After visiting the palace house, people immediately hired uncles to give advice to Jiang. In addition to giving advice on design, the key is to find hot springs!

Others don't know that there is a hot spring in the town now!

Once he knew that there was a hot spring, the townspeople cared more about the hot spring than building a house, which my uncle didn't understand.

But finding hot springs is not his strong point, he has to take Gongsi with him, and then Gongsi takes the big head.

Now which of the underground water veins in Lengshui Town intersects with which one, and which one passes under which house... Gongsi is very clear. It is a bit strange to say this, but he knows the water veins with a fire device So thorough, it can only be said... the big head's self-hypnosis ability is better than his.

Even though the ground fire that had devoured the entire Shaoshanzhou, Datou still regarded himself as a fish, although he would come out to jump occasionally, but most of the time he was still in the water.It quickly figured out the new water vein, and now that it has figured it out, it means that Gongsi has figured it out, so Gongsi knows so much about the underground water vein.

Under their guidance, almost every household opened a small hot spring. After being overjoyed, they soon found that the hot spring was too hot to soak in. Fortunately, they had an uncle who told all the towns how to use the hot spring. Residents, next, Uncle Gong received countless orders-making water pipes.

So, following his uncle to learn how to refine weapons, the first job Gongsi learned was to make water pipes.

The fire in the stove that the palace father and the palace mother put in the uncle's stove at home was gone, but the stove was still there - the big head swallowed it in time, but the fire inside was gone.

"It should be absorbed by you. There is no fire that cannot be absorbed by you, even the fire we found is no exception. This is the proof that you are the strongest weapon in the fire department." Uncle was very frank about this.

Only then did Gong Si turn on the whistle on his chest as if thinking of something: Sure enough, the fire in the whistle also disappeared.

Then the uncle continued as if nothing had happened: "Actually, I guess the reason why you and the big head can recombine is related to these fire seeds. You have the fire seeds that I gave you, and the fire seeds that your parents gave you. Qi Zhou got the kindling."

"These are not ordinary fires. The fire that can be regarded as a kind of fire that can be passed down through the ages by swordsmiths must be the fire of Zhurong. This is the purest and hottest flame in the world, which can maximize the burning of impurities in various materials over."

"Of course, Zhu Rong here does not refer to you, but refers to the previous generation Zhu Rong. As long as he exists, the fire he left behind will inevitably be left in this world. There is probably only another Zhu Rong who can smelt Zhu Rong."

"I'm guessing that you were in a state of mind at that time. It was one thing that you had a strong resonance with the big head, and the other thing was that you just happened to collect enough fire seeds. The three drops of flame helped you and melted you and the big head. Melt you back together."

"So, those three drops should be used to melt you."

As the uncle said, he put a piece of raw metal into the furnace without any flames.

Gong Si was stunned: "Used, used up?"

"Then uncle, our house...is there no fire?"

Seeing his nephew's rare dull look, the uncle smiled: "With you here, how could we not be popular?"

As he spoke, the uncle gestured slightly with his chin to the cold and dark furnace hole.

Gong Si was thoughtful.

Looking at the furnace hole quietly, Gong Si stretched out his right index finger, and saw that the place where the ordinary human finger was originally a fire suddenly ignited, and that finger also instantly turned into a finger made of solidified fire. The refining room suddenly became hot, and finally, a small drop of fire jumped out from Gong Si's fingertips. Gong Si stretched out his finger and pushed, and the round little spark jumped into the furnace hole. Immediately afterwards, the furnace The inside of the cave burst into flames, and the raw metal that uncle had placed there before instantly turned red!

"What a powerful fire!" The uncle praised, and then began to clamp the metal raw material with a tool and started melting. While doing this step, he also pointed out the key points of the palace's melting, and explained each step in detail. Until the molten metal liquid is poured out, start to make the pipe.

One of the uncles and nephews taught carefully, and the other studied hard. After watching his uncle make three pipes, Gongsi began to melt raw materials and make pipes by himself for the first time.

"You have to feel carefully that the ability of the fire system is very helpful to the refiner. You can observe the state of the material while changing the temperature and even the shape of the fire. Where it is lacking, you can strengthen it. Don't worry, slowly feel the different temperatures The different changes you bring to the material, remember these, make it a habit..."

The uncle's quiet voice rang in Gong Si's ears, and Gong Si followed his words and carefully watched the changes in the fire. He didn't know if he was too serious or what, but suddenly he had a feeling that he could control the fire. This is the impulse to be "lifted" by the melted molten metal.

He thought so, and then, the molten metal actually rose slowly in the furnace. Following Gongsi's thoughts, they changed into various shapes in the air. At first, Gongsi couldn't control it well. Later, he gradually found the knack, and the molten magma danced in the fire as if it were alive, and took various shapes that the palace wanted.

"Well done, your fire melted it, it is now under your control, you can shape it directly in the air, this is the natural advantage of fire-type ability users in refining weapons, come, try it, Slowly roll the melt into a cylindrical shape, imagine how the pipe is made, yes, well done, and then maintain it so that the pipe wall is moderately thick, like the one I just made, No unevenness, good, good, you've got the hang of it, now, hold it steady and take it out of the oven, quick!"

As the uncle said, Gong Si abruptly pulled the fiery red pipe-shaped molten metal out of the furnace. The uncle stretched out his arms and took cold water and sprinkled it on the pipe. There was only a sound of "pop", and the molten metal had already turned into a metal pipe. No longer under the control of the palace, he fell from the air and made a crisp sound when he landed.

When the temperature dropped, the uncle picked up the pipe and checked it carefully: "There is a little unevenness here, but other places are very good, with very few impurities. Well, it is a pipeline that can score 80 points."

The uncle rated the palace.

Staring blankly at the uncle, Gong Si scratched his head, and just about to say something, the uncle had already thrown another piece of raw metal into the furnace: "Continue, don't say anything, remember the feeling just now, and continue to do it."

Nodding his head, Gongsi continued to make pipelines.

In the following time, both of them stopped going out, and concentrated on being bored in the refining room, just making pipes, and this was done for a full nine days!In the nine days, Gongsi made rapid progress and mastered the casting method of the pipe. At first, the uncle was still guiding from the side. Later, the uncle went directly to another room. The uncle and nephew each took a room and smelted separately. Finally managed to make a pipe that can be used by the whole town!

There are thick ones, some thin ones, some straight ones, and some round ones. When people excitedly assembled these pipes and tried to pass the water successfully, the others were cheering, and the uncle stood beside the palace, bowing Sheng Sheng said to him: "Now, you can try to connect the many assembled underground pipes, melt away the original seams, and connect them together completely to form an integrated underground pipe. This work is very difficult. It's long and complicated, but I think you can do it, and only you can do it."

As the uncle said, a pair of black eyes looked at Gongsi.

Opening his mouth slightly and looking back at his uncle, Gong Si nodded slowly, he glanced at Xiliu, and suddenly grabbed Xiliu's right hand, then, closing his eyes, he began to perceive the many pipes underground.

Although all the pipes here were not made by him alone, they were all smelted by his fire, and his fire was smelted in the metal of these pipes in bits and pieces, and it has not been extinguished, so he can still feel it. the existence of these channels.

Then, he found each connection of these pipes, grabbed the right hand of the stream suddenly, and a steady stream of power began to be transmitted to him from the other side of the stream, and a cluster of flames burst into the ground from under his feet. Small, it looks like a cluster of sparks at first glance, but if you zoom in and look carefully, you will find that it is a fire fish!It is much more beautiful than the big head, I saw it nimbly drilled from the soil into the pipe, the fire fish passed by, and all the pipe joints instantly merged into one, it swam fast, and all the joints between the pipes behind it disappeared, until All the pipes are seamless, there is no seam between them!

The pipe that the fire fish passed through quickly cannot be seen by others, but in the eyes of the palaces and streams, it is shining brightly, with a layer of faint fire, and the complete shape is very complicated, just like a flame. Made of underground labyrinth.

"Wow—it's a bit spectacular." Xiliu praised.

The uncle next to him said: "Congratulations, Ah Si, you just finished your first work."

"Ah?" Gong Si still hadn't recovered from the nervousness just now, when he heard what the uncle said, he looked at the uncle in a daze.

The man with long black hair smiled slightly: "How does it feel to have a complete and seamless underground hot spring pipeline system as your debut work?"

Only then did Gong Si understand what he meant, thinking about what he had done just now, and thinking about what his uncle said, his mouth opened slightly.

"Now, according to the craftsman's rules, you can try to name your own work. What do you want to name your first work?"

Looking at the uncle, Gong Si thought about it seriously: "Zhu Rong?"

He just said it casually, after all, he is a waste of names, and he is really not good at naming things.

The uncle nodded, "Is it Zhu Rong? It's a very good name, and it suits you very well."

"Then, it is Zhu Rong." The uncle said, and then said to Gong Si: "You can leave this name on a certain section of the pipeline. Generally, we are used to leaving its name on each of our works. You can Each work has a different name, or each work has the same name, but the numbers are different, for example, all the things I make are called Dingzhou, Dingzhou 002, Dingzhou 003 and so on."

Seeing that Gongsi's face was a bit wrong, the uncle also explained: "I'm not good at naming. When I made my first ironware—the kitchen knife, your father happened to be next to me, so I named the kitchen knife by the way. It's Dingzhou 002, and I didn't bother to choose a new name after that, so I simply arranged it according to the number."

Gong Si: ...the co-author of my dad is not only a kitchen knife, his name has also become the name of other kitchen knives.

"What do you want to do?" The uncle looked at him with his slender eyes.

The corner of the mouth was slightly bent, Gong Si didn't answer him, but secretly exerted force, leaving a shallow mark somewhere in the pipe——

Zhu Rong 001 - very uncle-like naming method, Gongsi decided to name his current and future works according to the uncle's method.

Thinking of this, the arc of Gong Si's mouth became wider and wider, and finally turned into a hearty smile.

The uncle immediately applauded, followed by Xiliu, they were applauding for the first work of the palace, but the others didn't know, seeing the two of them applauding, other ordinary citizens were stunned I was taken aback, but seeing the pipes still bubbling water, I don't know who had an idea, thinking that the two of them were celebrating the opening of the hot spring pipes.

Wait - this is indeed something to celebrate!

Just like that, the others quickly applauded to celebrate the opening of the hot spring pipeline, and finally there is hot water in Lengshui Town!

***

However, even with hot water, Lengshui Town is still called Lengshui Town, and has not been renamed Hot Spring Town because of this.

It is still the opinion of the old man of the household registration office——

"The name Lengshui Town has auspicious strokes. Hot Spring Town doesn't match our five elements, so we can't call it. Besides, we have hot springs here, which means that the ground fire is burning again. We have to continue to call Cold Water to suppress the fire."

However, the volcano erupted when it was called Lengshui Town?Not only someone muttered.

"The volcano erupted, but did any of us die? No one died, which means that the name of Lengshui Town is good." The old man had his own explanation.

Everyone think about it: Don't say it, what the uncle said is very reasonable.

The name Lengshui Town looks really good!

As a result, no one talked about changing the name anymore. On the contrary, many babies born in Lengshui Town this year were called Lengshui, because the uncle said that the name Lengshui was good, and everyone wanted to be happy. At the same time, Didn't it mean that the name cold water can crush a volcano?Wouldn't the suppression be more stringent if there were more people called Lengshui?

In short, Lengshui Town is still called Lengshui Town, not only the location has not changed, the people in the town have not changed, and the name has not changed.

It's just that every household has an extra mouthful of hot springs.

Under normal circumstances, the homeland will not be rebuilt on the original site after the disaster, but there are capable people on this continent, and now there is Zhu Rong in the Jizhou Continent. It will not erupt for a thousand years. Although there is a hot spring now, this hot spring is a gift from Zhu Rong. Even, because of Zhu Rong's appearance, he has completely absorbed the earth fire. Except for this hot spring, the water in other water veins has become even colder Well, to a certain extent, this place is safer than before!

The key is to have Zhu Rong now.

As long as Zhu Rong is here, what are the people of Jizhou afraid of?

In short, the people are happy and calm to start a new life again.

The palace father and the palace mother decided to continue to set off to join the archaeological team, while the uncle said that he would stay in the town. He had to adapt to the new fire and live in his hometown for a while. Although the palace wanted to study with the uncle for a while, why did he come out? It's been too long, as a student, he always has to go back to school.

In this way, after a brief reunion, everyone separated again.

The author has something to say: Stream: I really don't need my own room, uncle.

Uncle: Who is your uncle?
