Chapter 253 Air Conditioning
"It's not much better now. If it were really in the tropics, it wouldn't be steamed if it didn't rain, and it would be fried."
The air conditioner was blowing, and the wind was blowing out with the coolness of the ice cubes in the box. The coolness almost disappeared not long after it came out.
Zhao Yeqing pulled the air conditioner fan very close so that he could get some cool breeze.
Her desire for air conditioning gradually grew. After tossing and turning and unable to sleep, Zhao Yeqing poked Mu Xi's arm with her finger.
Mu Xi closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He opened his eyes when he felt Zhao Yeqing poking him. "What's wrong? Is it too hot to sleep?"
Zhao Yeqing shook his head, "Let's go get an air conditioner tomorrow."
If they had known that the temperature this year would be so high, they should have built the underground shelter earlier. It would be good to move the air conditioner back now and turn it on for a few minutes before going to bed at night to cool down.
Mu Xi agreed, and the two closed their eyes. It was almost late at night before they finally adapted to the temperature and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, I ate a few bites of food and was ready to set off.
The car was parked outside the backyard, covered with a large piece of yurt canvas that had been brought back earlier. The canvas was so large that it could still completely cover the car after being folded several times.
If it weren't covered, the inside would have melted by now.
When Mu Xi got up, he rolled down the car window early to ventilate and dissipate heat. When Zhao Yeqing came over, he wiped the seat cushion with cold water. Now he could barely sit on it.
After sitting down and starting the car, Mu Xi turned on the air conditioner that Zhao Yeqing had been longing for.
The familiar sound of the car starting up was accompanied by the whirring sound of the air-conditioning fan. Perhaps because it was too hot, the air-conditioning could not cool down successfully for a while.
Two minutes after the car started moving, a refreshing cool breeze finally blew out. Zhao Yeqing instantly got goose bumps, and all the pores on his body opened up. His body couldn't help but tremble with comfort.
"Oh my god, I don't want to get out of the car."
When I had it before, I never thought that using air conditioning was such a happy thing.
When I was a child living in Meishan, I didn’t need air conditioning and it wasn’t hot. Later, when I grew up and went to school, it was hot for a few years, but it was only around 30 degrees at most. At that time, there were at least fans in the classrooms, so it wasn’t too hot.
Not to mention after I start working. In the summer, there are air conditioners everywhere in shopping malls, supermarkets and subways. The air conditioners in the office building at work are also turned on full blast. There are also home air conditioners at home, and it’s not hot at all.
At one point she even thought about using the air conditioner less to avoid air-conditioning disease. Now she realizes that she really doesn't appreciate what she has and she should enjoy life while she should.
Zhao Yeqing laid down the chair flat, and instantly felt sleepy due to not getting enough rest last night.
Mu Xi was refreshed by the boast, "Go to sleep, I'll call you when it's time."
Zhao Yeqing didn't hesitate and fell asleep in less than a minute.
Sleeping in the car always gives you a state of being in between wakefulness and sleep, a feeling of being asleep but not completely asleep.
She woke up as soon as Mu Xi's car stopped. He turned off the car and said, "Turn on the air conditioner later. We still have some gasoline that we didn't bring back last time. Now is a good time to add the consumption."
After refueling, the two found an air conditioner with the lowest power consumption, the newest appearance and the best brand, dismantled the air conditioner and the outdoor unit and moved them back to the car.
Not long after that, the temperature in the car gradually rose again. After entering, it was hot and stuffy until the air conditioner was started again, which made me feel a little more comfortable.
Mu Xi wiped the sweat off his face and said, "You stay in the car. I'll go get some spices and daily necessities that I haven't brought back yet."
By the time Mu Xi had moved all the things into the car, his hair, which had just been dried, was now completely wet again with sweat and then evaporated, leaving white salt stains on his head.
Zhao Yeqing moved to the driver's seat and said to Mu Xi who was putting things in the trunk: "You take a rest, I'll drive."
Zhao Yeqing drove slowly on the way back because he wanted to enjoy the air conditioning more.
Mu Xi lay in the seat, looking relaxed, "If I had more oil, I could run the air conditioner for a while longer."
I used to think that since I don’t use the car much, I would just need to bring back three barrels of gas, but I didn’t expect it to be so hot this year.
Zhao Yeqing held the steering wheel, looking at the meadow that was all green and yellow from the fireball hanging in the sky, and said:
"Many cars in the parking lot were broken into and their gasoline stolen. The cars of those who stole the gasoline may still be found along the road down the mountain from the tourist area."
If they had really managed to escape successfully, there wouldn't be so many cars in the entire tourist area, and there wouldn't be any cars hidden. They would have escaped long ago.
There is only one possibility, that is, the way down the mountain is completely blocked and it is likely to have been cut off by a ground fissure.
Mu Xi wore his sun protection jacket inside out, and used the hood to block the sun on his face. His voice came from under his clothes, "That's right. I can drive there to have a look some time. But forget it now. The road is too hot. I'm afraid the tire will burst if I drive there."
Car tires can withstand temperatures over 200 degrees. Even when driving, the tires will generate heat due to friction, but it is not a big problem as long as you don't drive too fast.
When Zhao Yeqing heard him say this, he knew that he was making fun of him.
Because two days ago, she was wearing a pair of rubber-soled shoes she found at the foot of the mountain. When she was walking on the cement platform in the yard where rice was drying, the laces came undone and when she bent down to tie them, the soles of the shoes melted and stuck her to the ground.
When I lifted my foot hard to pull up my shoe, a long thread was pulled out.
Fortunately, there were insoles inside, otherwise my feet would have been burned.
Mu Xi ran over from behind, grabbed her under the armpits with both hands, and lifted her up to the threshold of the room to sit down and change her shoes.
Zhao Yeqing snorted, slowed down the car, and kicked him with his leg.
Even though you are reluctant to leave, you will reach home soon.
After turning off the engine, the two went back into the house to adjust to normal temperature before returning to the car to move things, so as to avoid being physically exhausted by the sudden change of temperature from moving things under the sun.
There is no rush to install the air conditioner that has been moved down. We will have to wait until the sun goes down. We also have to make a hole in the house to extend the air conditioner pipe out.
This time, Mu Xi specially found an electric clipper. In two months, the hair will have to be shaved again, and an electric clipper will make it much more convenient.
By the time the sun went down, Mu Xi had already chiseled open the location of the air-conditioning duct, and after the duct was extended out, he sealed the gap with cement.
After the inside and outside were installed, Zhao Yeqing was looking forward to going to bed at night for the first time since the weather turned hot.
The air conditioner can be turned on for an hour before going to bed at night to let the room temperature drop, then you should take the opportunity to fall asleep quickly. The temperature may return to normal in a few hours, but it is better than not being able to sleep all night and then being woken up by the heat after finally falling asleep.
After dinner and washing up, Zhao Yeqing couldn't wait to press the remote control.
A familiar beeping sound was heard.
