Unlike when they went there empty-handed, this time all three of them were holding a piece of solid wooden furniture.
Solid wood furniture is very heavy. Even a small bedside table or a round coffee table can weigh dozens or even hundreds of pounds.
It is not an easy task to walk in a blizzard while holding such furniture.
Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang had just come in. After taking a few steps, they put the things in their hands on the ground, supported themselves on them with their hands, and gasped heavily.
Compared with the two of them, the old Taoist priest seemed much more relaxed.
What he was holding in his arms was a large round coffee table, which was made entirely of solid wood and looked to weigh at least three or four hundred kilograms.
The old Taoist priest was holding such a heavy object, but he acted as if he was holding nothing and walked very steadily.
In order to place these solid wood furniture and for convenience when doing handicrafts later, they had just cleared a space next to the fire.
At this time, the old Taoist priest was holding a large round tea table and walked step by step to the open space. Then he put the tea table down carefully, making almost no sound.
"Master, you are so amazing—"
Before Mu Qianqian could finish her words of lamentation, the old Taoist priest sat down on the coffee table without caring about his image.
This was not the end yet. He fell down little by little, and lay there in a big letter shape, gasping for breath.
Seeing the old Taoist like this, Mu Qianqian didn't know whether she should continue speaking before she finished what she was saying.
The old Taoist priest slowly turned his head and looked at Mu Qianqian, "Speak—ah! Why—don't you say anything?"
Mu Qianqian gave an awkward but polite smile, "Master, you are really amazing! Even though you were almost exhausted, you still managed to move the things into the house."
Although what Mu Qianqian said was true, the old Taoist priest couldn't help laughing after hearing what she said.
He was originally lying flat there, and as he laughed violently, his body twitched upwards and downwards, making him look as if he was having a seizure.
Nan Ci was just thinking this in his heart, but Mu Qianqian said it directly.
"Master, don't laugh like that. It makes you look like you're having a seizure."
The old Taoist priest, who had been laughing just now, stopped laughing immediately after hearing this.
But he couldn't retract the expression on his face in time. He just lay there awkwardly, his body becoming stiff little by little.
Mu Qianqian grunted and turned her small round table, and finally reached the old Taoist priest. She raised her head and gave him a flattering smile.
"Master, don't be angry! I just said something that didn't mean anything! Sometimes, my brain is out of my control and I always say some inexplicable things."
Hearing her explanation, Nan Ci almost laughed like he was having a epileptic seizure.
Who would give such an unreliable reason when explaining something?
There was constant laughter and joy inside the tent, while outside the tent the wind and snow were like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
In comparison, they seem to be living in a paradise.
Zhou Ziyang came over holding a small solid wood table, "The wind and snow outside seem to be stronger than before, I think we should get more wood in so that it can be used longer.
Otherwise, if the snow keeps falling, the things outside will probably be buried, and it will be inconvenient to search for them later."
After hearing Zhou Ziyang's words, they stopped joking.
Even Nan Ci stood up and wrapped himself tightly again, "Let's go, hurry up and finish it, then we can eat the roasted sweet potatoes."
Several people went out of the tent together, ran back and forth several times, and moved a lot of furniture into the tent.
Seeing that there was no place to stay, the four of them stopped.
At this time, the tent was filled with the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.
Four people came to the earthen pot, and each of them picked up a roasted sweet potato and cut it in half.
The sweet potatoes have been baked through and the flesh inside is soft.
Take a bite and put it in your mouth. You don’t need to chew it with your teeth at all. Just use your tongue to gently lick it and it will melt in your mouth.
Feeling the sweetness in their mouths, the four of them squinted their eyes in enjoyment.
After eating two sweet potatoes, those who need to cook can cook, and those who need to work can work.
After dinner, the four of them worked together.
When it comes to carpentry, Zhou Ziyang can be said to have mastered it since childhood.
The old Taoist priest had obviously learned this before, and he did it quite well.
Although Nan Ci had never made loom parts before, he knew a little about wood carving.
Once you learn one thing, you will learn another. With Zhou Ziyang's guidance, you will be able to work independently soon.
Mu Qianqian also wants to learn how to make parts.
But after trying several times, I finally had to give up the idea.
The tools and wood that were very obedient in other people's hands seemed to have their own ideas in Mu Qianqian's hands.
They could move freely up, down, left and right, but they could not move according to Mu Qianqian's wishes.
Mu Qianqian put down the tools and wood in frustration, "This is not a job for me, you guys do it, I'll do the odd jobs for you and prepare food and drinks for you."
None of the four had any objection to this.
It took them two days to finally make the necessary parts for the batch of furniture they moved in.
All the small parts have been made, but the remaining frame is too large to be placed inside the tent, so it can only be made outside.
But two days later, the wind and snow did not abate at all.
One third of the furniture Nan Ci brought back was buried in the snow.
Even if they were not buried, it was impossible to carry out outdoor work due to the heavy snow and wind outside.
Although I feel a little regretful, external forces are irresistible and I can only wait patiently.
This wait lasted for three days.
Three days later, the wind and snow gradually subsided.
Nan Ci had just walked out of the tent when he saw a group of people coming towards him from afar.
These people were riding on a sled, which was driven by mutant dogs.
This dog is huge and looks very strong.
They pulled the sled, which was much larger than their bodies, without showing any effort at all.
Not only that, the speed is also very fast.
It took only a few minutes from the time Nan Ci discovered them to the time he could see them clearly.
When you look closely, they are already right in front of you.
But when they saw this pair of people coming towards them, the four of them were on high alert.
As the sled stopped, a tightly wrapped man walked down from it.
"Hello, my name is Chen Guoping, and I'm the captain of the second team of the first base in X City District. I'm here to talk to you about something."
Nan Ci looked at Chen Guoping coldly, "Chen Guoping? We have never met before, we are strangers, what do you want to talk to us about?"
