Chapter 245 A new life starts from civil engineering
Yu Sheng thought that Rapunzel thought of herself as a universal wish-making machine - she casually said "make the sky dark", which was really unexpected for her to say.
But seeing the girl looking at him with shining eyes, he still didn't feel comfortable to refuse directly, so he asked curiously: "Do you think I can do such an outrageous thing?"
"I heard from Irene that everything in this valley is up to you," Rapunzel pointed at the little puppet running around the edge of the square (don't ask her why she was running), "You can even move the mountain to make room for Little Red Riding Hood's Black Forest. You should be able to close the daytime as well... right?"
She stared at Yu Sheng with wide eyes, and Yu Sheng also stared at this super JK with wide eyes.
Super JK finally reacted: "No?"
"I told you it wasn't possible," Little Red Riding Hood came over and said to Rapunzel with a helpless look on her face, "but you just didn't believe it."
Yu Sheng saw the disappointment on the two faces, and then looked at the pile of firewood that had been set up in the square, the half-grown children helping out, and the group of little ones running around the edge of the square (guess what they were running for), and suddenly he felt uncomfortable. He raised his hand to interrupt Little Red Riding Hood and said, "Wait a minute, maybe it's not completely impossible - wait for me to think about it."
Then he just looked up at the sky, thinking silently. Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel didn't dare to interrupt him, but just watched curiously from the side.
After a while, Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on the sky above the black forest at the end of the valley.
Then, the clouds began to spread.
At first, there were only thin clouds soaked in the glow of the sunset glow above the Black Forest, but soon, clouds began to form on all sides of the valley. The thicker clouds were like a curtain, rising from between the mountains and closing towards the center of the sky, just like the shrinking night sky.
Gradually, everyone noticed the changes in the sky. The children and adults who were playing in the square stopped and looked up in surprise at the closing "curtain".
Yu Sheng suddenly felt someone grabbing his arm. It was Hu Li.
The changes in the clouds paused, but when Yu Sheng turned his head, he only saw a smile slowly blooming on Hu Li's face.
She turned her head happily, her golden red eyes sparkling in the gradually dimming light: "My benefactor is so great!"
Yu Sheng also laughed and reached out to touch Hu Li's head: "It just suddenly occurred to me that although I can't control the original 'ambient light' of the entire valley, the clouds that are integrated into the fairy tale are controllable. Occasionally manually pulling the curtains... It's not too much effort."
The curtains continued to close, and an artificial night gradually fell.
Someone exclaimed.
Rapunzel shouted to the people in the square: "Don't be nervous! We are adjusting the lights! It's not raining, we just want to turn off the sky to see the effect..."
The somewhat nervous crowd in the square finally relaxed, and then Yu Sheng heard someone shouting over the firewood pile: "Leave a gap! Otherwise it will be too dark - we are working right now."
Yu Sheng quickly looked up at the cloud layer, which had almost completely closed. There was a cross-shaped crack in the middle of the cloud layer, which was just enough to cast a ray of "sunshine" onto the square.
Hu Li stretched his neck to look at the sky. After staring at it for several seconds, he began to mutter, "It looks like a mushroom..."
Yu Sheng: “…”
Then Hu Li raised his hand and pointed to the firewood pile: "My benefactor, I want to help thread the meat skewers!"
Yu Sheng didn't say anything, just silently looked at the nine-tailed fox whose drool was almost flowing onto his clothes.
Hu Li's ears drooped instantly: "I, I don't eat it secretly. That's all raw meat. Hiss, eating too much raw meat, hiss, it's not good."
"I'm sure you're a bad guy! I asked you to go out and buy a bottle of vinegar, but you only had half a bottle left. How could you resist eating meat?" Yu Sheng stretched out his hand and rubbed the other's ear. "If you really want to help, go and play with those kids with Irene. The kids like you two very much."
Hu Li thought about it and felt that this was quite interesting, so he nodded happily: "Oh, okay~"
Seeing this, Yu Sheng suddenly remembered something and quickly added, "Wait! You are not allowed to launch the children with the children hanging on the tail again... You are not allowed to cruise at low altitudes! You are not allowed to let them cry to you!"
The fox's ears and tail drooped together: "Oh..."
After Hu Li walked away, Little Red Riding Hood came over and said, "I suddenly feel that you are usually very tired..."
"Hu Li lacks common sense in this world. She has gotten much better recently. She can even go to the small supermarket at the intersection to buy things by herself," Yu Sheng sighed. "I didn't even dare to let her go out alone before. Last week, I had a nightmare that she got lost. When she came back, an elephant came out of her tail and told me that she found a spiritual animal while traveling. Then I took the elephant to the South City Zoo to apologize... Don't be happy. She is really capable of doing such a thing."
"I'm happy just because I know she can do this," Little Red Riding Hood smiled. "It reminds me of when the 'King' first came. At that time, we were most worried that he would send troops to attack the pet food store on the street next to the orphanage to rob cats. Fortunately, we later found that he was reasonable. To be honest, this trait is not common in cats."
They chatted in the square, talking about how a nine-tailed fox from another world learned to survive in the border area little by little, how many outrageous and interesting things had happened in the orphanage in the past, the strange legends in LC City and the true and false parts of them, and the homework and exams they would have to face the next day after partying tonight - this time, all the children really couldn't use "I don't have to graduate for real" as an excuse to be lazy...
As they were chatting, Yu Sheng saw another group of people appear near the "town". It was a convoy, escorted by more than a dozen soldiers and knights. The leading carriage was hanging a flag of the kingdom with a cat head on it, and the flatbed carriage behind was pulling all kinds of things - elegant and simple tables and benches, doors and windows that were dismantled from somewhere, sets of beds and quilts, wardrobes, sofas, chairs, beds...
Cargo after carload of stuff crossed the valley, arrived in the "town", and drove onto the streets in the dim light.
Yu Sheng was a little dazed, and turned to look at Little Red Riding Hood: "What's going on?"
"We are going to build this place into our new home," Little Red Riding Hood said with a smile. "Now that the orphanage is gone, we haven't had time to bring out many things. We are embarrassed to always ask the Secret Service for everything, so the king suggested that we purchase goods from various 'subsets'. The team you saw just now is the one who just came back from confiscating the property in Snow White's castle..."
Yu Sheng was stunned, especially after hearing the words "I'm sorry for always asking the Secret Service for everything", he immediately exchanged a guilty look with Rapunzel beside him - he was also embarrassed to tell Little Red Riding Hood that Rapunzel suggested getting the "resettlement fee" from the Secret Service to rebuild an orphanage...
Of course, he was even more embarrassed to say that he doubled the amount and finally took out the expenses of two orphanages, and the hotel and the orphanage "shared the spoils"...
Although this matter is estimated to be exposed soon.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"But then again, I thought at first that some of you would choose to live in some fairy tale 'subsets'," Yu Sheng changed the subject a little stiffly, "After all, those subsets are now harmless, and the remaining castles and palaces look gorgeous. I think it's quite exciting to overcome the psychological barriers."
As soon as he said this, Little Red Riding Hood looked at him with a strange look.
"Is what I said wrong?"
Little Red Riding Hood looked helpless: "You must not have paid close attention to the details when you integrated the fairy tale?"
Yu Sheng: "...Really not. The situation was so urgent at the time that I didn't have time. I just pulled down the 'stages' connected to Ankaela and 'welded' them to this side of the valley and then I ran away."
"You'll know at a glance that those 'story stages' are essentially just created for the 'stories'. No matter how gorgeous and rich the 'sets' are, they are not suitable for real living," Little Red Riding Hood sighed and explained helplessly, "Strange and inconsistent places can be found everywhere. Can you imagine that more than half of the rooms in Snow White's castle are solid, and 70% of the stairs in Rapunzel's tower are misplaced. There are only three toilets in the entire Kingdom of Oz, and Dorothy built them herself - of course, having said that, they are good for adventure tourism or for training newcomers, but they still need to be renovated to some extent."
Yu Sheng: “…”
He really hadn't thought about this detail! "The good news is that although these 'stages' are weird in their own ways and not suitable for real living, many of the things inside can be put to good use," Little Red Riding Hood continued. "The king and I have checked, and everything shipped out of the fairy tale 'stages' can serve as real and usable building materials and daily necessities. We have now shipped a batch of urgently needed furniture and bedding, and stocked up on some building materials. When everything is on track in a few days, Dorothy plans to build a sawmill directly in the Black Forest, and Snow White is going to send the Titans back to continue dismantling her castle, and strive to turn it into a tourist site within two months - I think there is some personal emotion involved, but she doesn't admit it..."
The girl kept talking and said a lot without realizing it.
After a long while, she finally stopped and looked at Yu Sheng with an awkward expression: "Why are you looking at me all the time..."
"Nothing, I just feel good," Yu Sheng laughed, "It sounds interesting, you can ask me to help you build the house when the time comes - after all, the construction team here will be withdrawing tomorrow, and their mission has been completed."
Little Red Riding Hood: "Okay, then you can help us reinforce the foundation. We will not only build a house, but also a classroom and a playground!"
"I can also help you build a house..."
"Help us strengthen the foundation!"
"Um, I mean I can also..."
"Help us strengthen the foundation!"
Yu Sheng sighed: "...Okay."
