Chapter 10 Haze

At noon.

Milo and Craig were shocked by their lunch.

It's not that I was shocked by how delicious the food was, but I was shocked that Wei and Baobao actually lived a luxurious life of three meals a day!

In the past, Milo and Clegg would just find something to eat in the morning and then get through the day.

Only rarely do they get a second meal of the day.

Therefore, the two little beauties are extremely envious of Wei and Baobao's life.

So much so that they couldn't help but have the same idea of ​​being adopted by Ke Wen.

However, in their eyes, Kewen was a cold and unsmiling person towards them, and he was not as gentle as Fandel at all towards them.

The two little Douding had no choice but to completely bury their delusions.

After finishing cleaning up after lunch, Kewen continued working with four little pods.

There was not enough space on the second floor to place a staircase, and the straight staircase was too dangerous for Bangbang's age, so Kewen chose to break a hole in the wall of the second floor and set up a metal staircase outside.

These tasks do not require the help of four little bean sprouts for the time being.

Without their drag, Kewen can also work at full power and efficiency.

So it only took him half an hour to install a very stable staircase on the outside of the second floor.

The stairs lead to the preset third floor, and the next step is to transport building materials.

Kewen set up a pulley set on the roof for the four little beans. Weilai, the strongest, pulled the pulley, while the other three little beans put bricks and other small building materials into the net frame.

After transporting some materials, Coven used a little force with his hands on the roof and tore the cover of a metal bucket with a 'crunch'.

The barrel contains alchemical gel, which has a wider range of applications than cement. The only drawback is that it smells bad.

But there is a way to solve this, just add more money.

Alchemists have long developed another type of alchemical incense. As long as there are certain conditions,

When buying gel, always buy it with fragrance.

Kewen is naturally not short of money.

Right now, he was holding a tube of alchemical incense, unscrewing the cork and pouring the incense into the gel bucket.

After stirring for a moment with a wooden stick, Coven spread the gel on the roof like cement.

Bricks were pressed tightly on the gel by Coven, and he began to add a third floor to the house.

I don’t know how long it took, but two cheers suddenly sounded from below.

Ke Wen looked around on the roof and found that it was Fandel who finally showed up and returned.

Milo and Clegg had already thrown themselves at Fandel's feet, while Fandel was bending down to apologize to the two little cubs.

Ke Wen took a look at Fandel's body and found that the other person's temperament was even more depressed.

That's the kind of temperament that only appears after a huge blow.

At the same time, Corwin found several hidden bandages on Fander's body.

The chest area was wrapped several times, and the same was true for the wrists, and the injured area was still the hand tendon.

Seeing this, Ke Wen casually said politely on the rooftop: "Are you okay? Is everything solved?"

Fandel raised his head and gave Coven a forced smile: "It's all solved. Thanks, man, for letting you take care of them for so long."

Coven waved the triangular spatula he used to apply the gel to indicate that it didn't matter.

Fandel had no intention of talking more.

He lowered his head again, slowly raised his hand and rubbed the tops of Milo and Craig's heads.

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, Fandel hid his expression of pain, and then said softly: "Come on, help here, and go back to the bar in the evening."

"Yeah!" Milo and Craig nodded happily.

Fandel smiled kindly, nodded to Covin on the roof, then turned around and staggered towards the bar.

Ke Wen looked at the opponent's back, then withdrew his gaze and greeted the four little beans below: "Continue, speed up the delivery of materials. Remember to tell me when you are tired."

"Not tired!"

Wei arched her biceps and patted them confidently: "I have enough strength!"

"But you have to think about others." Ke Wen probed to educate Wei below: "I once taught you, and the next words have the same meaning. Others may not be able to do what you can do. Wei , you need to clarify the situation between yourself and others.”

Hearing this, Wei turned to look at Bao Bao and the other two little beans.

She nodded slightly, "I understand."

Ke Wen showed a satisfied smile. He said no more, retracted his head and continued the construction work.

Unknowingly, the time came to evening.

Although Milo and Clegg always had to work for half an hour and then rest for half an hour, Corwin still gave each of them five bronze gears as reward.

After seeing off the two happy little Doudings, Kewen entered the kitchen and started preparing dinner for Wei and Baobao.

After three days of this, Kewen finally completed the construction of the studio on the third floor and the study room on the fourth floor attic.

Without the dragging down of the four little Doudings, Kewen could have finished the project earlier.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he chose to let Wei and Baobao experience what it means to feel a sense of participation.

The result is obvious, the two little girls are very proud to be involved in the construction.

So much so that they preferred the floors they had participated in building with their own hands, and asked Ke Wen to move to the attic on the fourth floor.

Naturally, Ke Wen would not refuse, so he helped them move their things to the fourth floor and redecorated and painted the attic, making the attic full of the warmth of a bedroom.

The original bedroom on the second floor was converted into a study by Ke Wen.

Although the renovated study room is very small, with only a set of tables and chairs in addition to bookshelves, it is enough.

Kewen didn't have to spend a long time doing research in the study. He only needed to read the books he bought once.

After being stored with photographic memory, those books have no value.

Of course, those books can still be kept for Wei and Baobao to study and use in the future.

…

On the night of completion, Kewen prepared a sumptuous dinner to celebrate.

Just as he was about to start eating, there was a sudden shouting outside.

“The gray fog is coming—the gray fog is coming—”

"not good!!"

Wei first let out a low cry, and then slapped the table in frustration: "Why did the gray mist come at this time?! We were just about to celebrate!!"

After complaining, Wei immediately greeted: "Bangbao! Come upstairs with me and close the window!"

While getting up from the chair, Wei urged Kewen: "I leave the windows on the first and second floors to you! Be sure to close them and use something to block the gaps! Otherwise, the house will be filled with dust tomorrow. Buried!"

Ke Wen could not imagine the power of gray fog because he had never experienced it.

But this did not delay his response.

So Ke Wen stood up and nodded: "Go ahead and leave it to me downstairs."

Wei said no more.

She reluctantly glanced at the sumptuous meal, and then ran upstairs holding Baobao's little hand.

Ke Wen also got up and walked to the second floor, closed all the doors and windows, and found some rags and tore them into strips to seal the gaps.

Then he came to the first floor.

Just as he was about to continue, the door was knocked open twice and then pushed open.

At the sound of the doorbell, Fandel's strong body walked into the house.

After seeing the cloth in Cowen's hand, Fandel showed a relieved smile: "It seems you already know how to deal with it."

"Did you come here specifically to remind me?"

Coven walked towards the kitchen and said with his back to Fander: "Thanks, but don't you need to worry about the bar?"

Fandel followed up and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Every time there is a gray fog warning, some homeless people will go to my place to hide. They will help me seal the doors and windows."

As he spoke, the two walked into the kitchen together.

Fandel found a few rags on his own. Seeing that Ke Wen had already gone to seal the gap in the window, he went to the exhaust fan to help seal it.

"Can you tell me about the gray fog warning?" Ke Wen asked while stuffing a piece of cloth into the crack of the window: "How often will it appear?"

"Usually it's about three months."

Fandel replied: "The various waste gases in the bottom city are gradually increasing. After the accumulation rises, they merge with the layer of industrial waste gas above the crack, making the layer of industrial waste gas heavier and buried."

"The combined waste gas will be integrated into various sewage, which will later reduce the pollution level in the city, and the cycle continues."

Ke Wen nodded clearly, but then asked strangely: "Three months? But I have been living here for more than half a year, why didn't you show up before?"

Fandel's movements paused.

Then he continued to block the exhaust fan and whispered at the same time: "It was because of the previous mistake. After that incident, many workshops stopped working to wait for Shangcheng to fulfill their contracts. Most people were waiting for Shangcheng to fulfill their contracts. The city’s new regulations, I want to make business adjustments after getting the new regulations..."

Ke Wen was stunned.

He nodded slightly and said: "It turns out that because of the shutdown, the exhaust emissions decreased for a period of time, which ultimately delayed the arrival of the gray fog warning."

"Yeah." Fandel responded in a depressed tone.

Ke Wen also stopped talking.

The two quickly finished handling the kitchen and returned to the hall.

Not long after, the lobby on the first floor was also processed.

"Thank you." Ke Wen finally said to Fandel.

Fandel just raised his lips, and then asked: "Have you decided on your future business? Why not tell me, I can introduce you to some customers."

"Repair it." Coven responded: "I plan to open a repair shop with no business scope."

"As for introducing business, there is no need."

He shook his head slightly again: "My savings are enough to support Wei and Bangbao, so I can run whatever I want. I opened this store just to prevent Wei and Bangbao from being treated differently."

Hearing this, Fandel was stunned for a moment and then showed a look of surprise.

He did not persuade more.

After taking a look outside the house, he found that the green poisonous haze had begun to be gradually covered by gray haze, so Fandel said goodbye.

When he reached the door, he stopped again, and turned back to invite Ke Wen: "Go and sit in the bar when you have time. I will introduce you to some guys. I will have one more person to help you if you need anything in the future."

Kewen thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

"Oh, by the way." Fandel added another reminder: "When you sleep at night, remember to cover your mouth and nose with a piece of cloth."

After saying that, he gave Ke Wen a friendly smile, then opened the door and walked out.

The door was quickly closed, but some haze still poured in.

Ke Wen raised his hand to fan in front of him, glanced through the window at Fandel's back that was retreating and covered in gray fog, and then he turned and walked upstairs.

Wei and Bao Bao's movements were a little slow, after all, they were still young.

But they smartly started sealing off the attic on the fourth floor, sealing off their bedroom first, and then started working on the third floor.

Kewen helped the two little girls take care of the third floor. When they returned to the kitchen together, the sumptuous meal on the table was already covered with a layer of dust.

"Really..."

Wei sighed: "In the end, it was still too late, it was a waste."

After saying that, she looked down at Bao Bao, touched his little head and said, "Bang Bao, be good and go hungry tonight. It's not a big deal, it's just like the past. Do you understand?"

"Yeah." Baobao nodded his head obediently.

Looking at the two sensible little girls, Ke Wen smiled.

Thinking of something, he said hello: "Let's go to the studio on the third floor."

The two little girls had no doubts and followed Kewen upstairs obediently.

Arriving on the third floor, Coven found a piece of wood and used a gear cutting machine to cut the wood into one centimeter thick pieces.

Then he found a one-meter-square wooden board.

He grabbed three markers from the pen holder and gave one to Wei and Bao Bao respectively. Then Kewen hugged Bao Bao.

He placed the little girl on the work table and invited Wei to sit down.

"Learn from me next."

Coven placed the big wooden board in front of him and picked up the marker.

Wei and Baobao were completely confused, but they also placed two small pieces of wood in front of each other.

"Come, follow me and draw."

Kewen put down the marker and slowly drew an arc on the wooden board.

Wei and Baobao did as they were told.

Next, Kewen taught slowly, and finally he used a marker to draw a wind bird with spread wings on the wooden board in front of him.

Wei's imitation ability is strong. Although the wind bird she drew seems a bit out of proportion, the appearance of the wind bird is not out of shape.

As for the explosive paintings, they are completely abstract.

However, the wind bird painted by Bao Bao is not ugly, but has an alternative sense of childlike art.

Ke Wen did not correct them, but smiled and changed three fluorescent pens.

Then the three of them painted the wind bird cyan with colored pens.

"What's this?"

After finishing, Wei finally couldn't help but ask: "Why do we draw this kind of bird?"

"This is a magical thing that allows you to breathe normally in the haze."

Ke Wen stood up, responded, and asked Wei and Bao Bao to walk toward the grinder together.

The next work was taken over by Ke Wen alone.

He first polished Wei and Bangpao's paintings into small pieces of talismans along the edges of the paintings, and then polished his own large wooden board.

After polishing it, Kewen used an engraving pen to carve the words 'repair shop' on it.

In this way, the preliminary preparations for the plaque of his store have been completed, and then lighting decorations can be added to it...
