Chapter 307
"Xiaotang, what does it mean to take a bath?"
Gan Lin, who was about the same age as Tang Yu'an when they first met in the dream, is now younger than him.
In another five months, Tang Yu'an will be 18 years old. Although he looks rather immature because of his chubby face and clear eyes, it can be seen that he is older than Gan Lin.
Hearing him call him brother, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but feel happy.
He just loves being a big brother!
Then he patiently explained to Gan Lin: "Taking a bath means using water to wash away the dirt on your body. This way you won't get sick easily."
Tang Yu'an also knew that given the environment in Yanlong Fort, it was normal for Gan Lin not to have taken a bath.
"How much water will that take?" Gan Lin widened his eyes.
"There's no need to worry about water shortages in Yanlong Homeland anymore," Tang Yu'an said. "We now have a teleportation array that can transport water from the sea. It will be even more convenient once pipelines are built in the future."
Of course, when necessary, he would authorize the telekinetic skill to Hai Jing, who would then transport water resources to the Flame Dragon's home.
Employees can only pick up goods from their own stores using remote pickup, so this skill has to be authorized to Haijing, otherwise Gan Lin will have to be transferred to Linhai Grocery Store.
"Gan Lin, do you know the ocean?" Tang Yu'an asked.
Gan Lin nodded. "I heard that the ocean is full of water, but it's salty."
"Yes, you can't drink it directly." Tang Yu'an said, "But you can distill and purify it, and then convert it into fresh water and drink it."
"How big is the ocean?" Gan Lin asked. "Is it as big as the lake that the Messenger of God created for us?"
Tang Yu'an subconsciously wanted to nod, but fortunately he stopped himself in time.
He said, "Although I don't know how big the lake you're talking about is, it's definitely smaller than the ocean. The ocean is boundless and even larger than the desert of Flame Dragon Castle."
Gan Lin showed an expression of shock and longing.
"I really want to go and see..."
"Sure! I'll take you there now." Tang Yu'an pulled Gan Lin and wanted to take him to the RV to take a shower first.
"No, no," Gan Lin shook his head in protest. "How much water would that waste?"
Tang Yu'an thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take you to the beach to wash. Once you get there and see all the water, you won't feel it's a waste."
He sent a private message to Haijing, asking him to add Lao Mo and Gan Lin to the teleportation array list.
Haijing did as he was told without saying a word.
"Let's go! Let's go to Linhai Home and go to the beach."
So, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi took them to the teleportation array and came to the Linhai Grocery Store together.
Haijing was busy outside, and little Hailan was studying in the yard.
Tang Yu'an greeted her, and after hearing that they were going to the beach, she volunteered to be their guide.
"Dad said that we should treat guests well when they come. It's etiquette." The little girl pushed her homework book aside and said confidently.
"Then let's go together." Tang Yu'an said with a smile.
So they left the Linhai grocery store, and when they went out they saw the bus had just arrived at the station, so they took the bus together to the beach.
Gan Lin stared at everything in Linhai Town with wide eyes.
After several months of development, Linhai Town has also been changing rapidly. New houses have been built, and men, women, and children on the streets are all wearing clean and sturdy new clothes.
In addition to buses, you can also see pedestrians riding bicycles and tricycles on the road.
Everyone was busy, but their faces were filled with a kind of vitality and vigor that Gan Lin rarely saw.
The sky here is very blue, the air is moist, the wind feels soft on the face, and the plants are lush and green everywhere.
"Is this the seaside home..."
"Yes." Tang Yu'an said, "We'll be at the beach soon."
The protective barrier has been extended by Linhai Town to several thousand meters away. Although the outside is being hit by a cold wave, the sea water within these several thousand meters has not frozen under the protection of the protective barrier.
When Gan Lin and Lao Mo stood on the beach and looked at the vast ocean, they could not hide their excitement.
Who could have imagined that they were still being tortured by the fire dragon just a dozen minutes ago, and now they were at the beach, feeling the cool breeze...
Even though they had already eaten the physical egg, the grandfather and grandson still shuddered.
After all, they live in an environment with a high temperature of 40 degrees all year round, and they definitely cannot bear it if they suddenly come to an environment with a temperature of around 0 degrees.
"Let's take a hot bath first!" Xiao Hailan said, "The bathhouse is over there."
Because the community stipulated that every resident must pay attention to hygiene, but the facilities were limited, bathhouses came into being.
At this stage, we can only heat the seawater, but the old men sent from Huangcheng Home are already trying to find a way to make distillation and purification equipment.
After all, although sea bathing has many benefits, it is better to rinse with clean water after washing.
Anyway, they have fire stones, so they are not short of energy.
When Lao Mo and Gan Lin entered the bathhouse together and looked at the pool full of hot water, they couldn't help but stop.
“So much water…”
"It's all sea water, you can't drink it, wash it quickly!"
Although he could perform purification magic on them, after all, Yin Guang had performed a similar light healing magic before, so Tang Yu'an felt a little guilty.
Besides, the feeling of taking a bath and using purification techniques are different.
"This is soap. It lathers well and can be used to wash your hair and body."
Tang Yu'an took out soap and a towel.
Lao Mo taught Gan Lin unskillfully, asking him to wet his body with water, then make some foam with soap and apply it on his body and hair.
"Grandpa, why are your eyes red?"
"Nothing, just a bit of heat."
Although he said that, Lao Mo's voice was obviously choked with sobs. He hadn't taken a bath in many years!
Smelling the scent of soap, the distant and vague memories of my childhood emerged in my mind, along with the people and scenery of that time.
In the blink of an eye, more than sixty years have passed...
Lao Mo no longer felt sorry for the water, but instead carefully scrubbed every part of his body clean.
Finally, when he and Gan Lin soaked in the hot pool together, they both couldn't help but sigh.
Gan Lin never knew that taking a bath could be such a comfortable thing.
Even looking at the polluted water, he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. Although this was sea water, it was still drinkable after being treated...
At this time, Lao Mo reached out and touched the top of his head.
"Gan Lin, you must learn to adapt." He said, "You are the Holy Son. You must set a good example for the people of Yanlong Homeland in the future."
Although everything in the seaside home looked so beautiful, Lao Mo had no attachment to it and had never thought about moving the Yanlong home there.
It is hard to leave their homeland, especially since they already have an oasis of their own.
As long as they spend time managing it and give full play to their own advantages, he believes that Yanlong Home will become the same as this place sooner or later.
Gan Lin's face showed a trace of confusion, "Does everyone really need to take a shower?"
"It only takes one wash, and then daily maintenance doesn't require that much water," Lao Mo said. "And the bath water can be reused."
Whether it's used to water crops or distilled for reuse, there are plenty of ways to save money.
"Gan Lin, a new era has arrived." He said softly, his eyes surprisingly bright.
Gan Lin seemed to understand but not quite.
Seeing the boy's confused look, Lao Mo thought for a moment and said, "You should also study, just like that girl."
Because Gan Lin was only recently recruited as an employee and had a lot of things to deal with every day, he had not yet started the twelve-year compulsory trading course.
"Reading can enlighten one. As the Son of God, you need to know a little more in order to manage our future home."
Now the situation has completely changed. They no longer need to worry about their identities being exposed and being killed by believers. They have absolute safety in their homes.
As a result, Lao Mo's goals and ideals changed.
Originally he just wanted to survive, but now, he wants to train Gan Lin to become the true leader of the Yanlong Homeland.
And a leader cannot be illiterate.
Gan Lin had no idea what the future held for him. When he heard Lao Mo say this, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Anyway, Lao Mo won't harm him.
After they finished taking a shower and changed into the new clothes Tang Yu'an prepared for them, they left with their old clothes.
The old clothes were made of room temperature cloth, and Gan Lin was reluctant to throw them away.
After strolling around the beach for a while and catching two fish, they boarded the bus for the return trip.
On the bus, Gan Lin said to Xiao Hailan, "My grandfather just said that I want to go to school too!"
Originally he just wanted to get closer to her, but he didn't expect that after he finished speaking, the little girl looked at him with sympathy.
What do you mean? Isn't studying good?
Xiao Hailan smiled and said, "You'll know later."
After leaving Linhai Town, they went to Huangcheng Home. Old Li, who had just received Lan Yunqing and others, hurried to see Old Mo.
"Evergreen?"
"Little noise!"
The two old men smiled at each other, and soon left the teleportation room chatting and laughing.
Their voices could still be heard in the corridor.
"I've prepared a lot of instant noodles. Which one would you like?"
"It's all right. Can I add a sausage?"
"Of course, there are also shredded squid. You can eat it while watching a movie. What kind do you like?"
"I don't remember much, I just remember the kind of painting that moved..."
"Cartoons? Yes!"
Soon, they were in the elevator and the sound could no longer be heard.
Tang Yu'an had been listening to their conversation, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
He seemed to see Grandpa Li and Lao Mo as teenagers, meeting up after school to eat snacks and watch a movie...
This is probably the meaning of their efforts for so long!
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi also prepared to take a rest, and then use the RV to pave the road the next day to connect the road between Yanlong Fort and Linhai Town as soon as possible.
However, before they could rest for long, Lan Yunqing called them via video.
Tang Yu'an felt a little strange and quickly answered the call.
Lan Yunqing's figure appeared on the video panel. He frowned and looked a little worried and anxious.
"Brother Yunqing, what happened?" Tang Yu'an asked.
"Something happened at Qingmu Fort!"
"What's wrong?"
"The fortress is broken..."
"What? What did you say is broken?"
At the same time, Aoki Castle.
I saw that the fortress's wall, which seemed indestructible, had collapsed at one corner.
A 20 to 30-meter-tall gorilla with red eyes was smashing the barrier of Aoki Castle with its huge iron fist.
People were running away screaming.
What's even more terrifying is that there are several huge figures wandering inside the fortress...
