In the following period of time, we began to discuss preparations for spending the full moon night, while also actively preparing for the many troubles of winter.
During this period of time, everyone performed their duties and began to make preparations. The first thing was to make some warm facilities for our newly arrived sheep. We had to build the sheep shed first. The workload was definitely much less than that of the city wall, and the sheep shed did not need to be too luxurious. It only needed to shelter from the wind and rain and be at least slightly warm. It was handed over to the hyenas in the masonry group who had mastered the technology. It was not a big deal, but I still needed to explain the length, width, and height, and I still needed to supervise the masonry.
The sheep also need a walk every day, and Lingshang is responsible for this. Since she has great abilities, she can protect the sheep. In addition, she also needs to take the little red foxes out to gather energy, and the red foxes get along well with the sheep. Therefore, during the dog days of summer, the sheep and the foxes are basically left to Lingshang to take out to graze and play, which is perfect.
I also asked Yunwen about the future reproduction of the sheep, after all, that would have a greater impact on the land environment. Yunwen’s answer was that the number of these sheep was regulated. Perhaps the master who enlightened them was also well aware of the environmental problem, so he issued such an order to the sheep. Therefore, when there are not many natural enemies, the sheep will only maintain a fixed number and self-regulate internally. After all, these sheep are not ordinary sheep.
As for the problem of evil spirit invasion, we should have been able to use the resin and leaves of the Dragon Prison Tree and the sheep's duty of guarding the flock to obfuscate it. But now there is an evil spirit in Bai Lu and Yunwen was injured and has marks. This is like a living thing bleeding in the sea and will be coveted by sharks, which will have a counter-effect on our current situation.
Ling Shang specifically explained the situation, the general idea being that there is probability involved and it is possible to get away with it.
Then we started making the spinning machines. Yunwen specially redrawn the design drawings, and then we let the hyenas start to make the parts one by one and weld them together at high temperatures. During this period, Bailu also proposed many improvement plans to show her own contribution, so that relatively ancient spinning machines, manual combing machines, filtering equipment, ancient textile machines, etc. were all provided.
She has now realized that only by leaving a good impression on me can she obtain the title of queen or wise minister. If she leaves a bad impression on me and loses people's hearts, these things will be nothing but empty talk and cannot be compared with Yunwen at all. So she will desperately use everything she has to compete with Yunwen. This can be regarded as a disguised way of benefiting the people of Longcheng.
The equipment drawings, parts manufacturing and final practical use take a relatively long time and require the cooperation of Yunwen and me. If all parts are made of iron, it would be too extravagant for resource design. We have no choice but to use iron. For some parts like brackets and layouts, we can use wood instead, and we will use mortise and tenon technology if possible.
We use two blacksmith shops to make these parts, and one is specifically used to deal with things for the stalls, so that we can do both at the same time.
Although the speed is slow, the progress can still be seen. In a blink of an eye, those parts were pieced together to make a roller similar to the rudder of a ship, which can be cranked by hand. In front of the roller is a small roller, and there are still many unfinished parts. In addition, there are those combing machines, which are composed of many large rollers and serrated parts. Similar to this, others are also in the process of completion.
The progress is still visible, so it is still possible to start collecting wool to make winter supplies.
Lately it's basically Yunwen and I who prepare the big pot dinner in the evening so that the hyena man can satisfy its only meal of the day. Bailu can't be counted on now, but as the saying goes, when men and women work together, the work is not tiring. Although Bailu gets a lot of advantages, I don't feel tired because I can organize and cook with Yunwen. Besides, special times require special treatment. After all, Bailu is pregnant, so it's reasonable to take care of her a little.
The next thing is Bai Lu. Most of the time now, my room is filled with leaves of the Prison Dragon Tree inside and outside, and the walls are covered with resin. I hope that before the full moon night comes, it would be best to drive away the creature attached to Bai Lu so that it can stay away from Bai Lu completely. I also hope to avoid the disaster that night. Apparently it is working. The old woman has been restless recently while staying in Bai Lu's body, and it seems that she can't stay there for long.
After all, this old woman taught us a lot about mechanical design. It is unreasonable for us to force her to leave in such a forceful manner. However, we have no choice. After all, what happened that night concerns the lives of everyone in our city. Therefore, we must drive away the evil spirit that has attached to her. It is forced by the situation. I can only apologize again if I have the chance in the future.
In addition, the wound on Yunwen's arm caused by the fork pierced by the imprisoned evil spirit has begun to rot and stink more and more since it was left. It often emits black gas, and the black area is gradually expanding, which is extremely creepy. The more it expands, the more hardened substances will begin to spread nearby.
A week has passed in the blink of an eye. Now the autumn wind is colder, and the full moon night is getting closer. There are only three days left. On this night, the three of us sat around the dining table and began to worry about what would happen in three days.
"Zhou Bo, although we have done everything we should do, I am still nervous. Although Sister Lingshang said that this is a problem of probability, we may find it or not, but I am still worried. After all, those things are feared by the lord of the ghost cave, which shows that they are from a powerful source. I don't know what to do now." Yunwen said.
"Sister Yunwen, don't worry too quickly. Time is indeed getting more and more urgent, but I am also looking for a way to treat you. Everything will still turn around. If you really can't avoid it, you can only let it go. With those fairy shepherds around, they may not be able to confront the so-called evil spirits. Besides, you don't have to think what the master of the ghost den should do. According to what I said, your current skills and supernatural powers are probably far beyond hers. After all, humans are the spirits of all things. The Yangshen Wood you obtained is definitely different from what Mei Sanniang obtained. So don't underestimate yourself and overestimate others." Lingshang said.
"Yes, the ability of a dragon seeker is to learn the ways of dragons. They can find a way to survive under any circumstances. Therefore, we cannot underestimate ourselves. Since problems have arisen, we should find ways to solve them and do what we can." I said.
After I said this, the two girls seemed to gain some confidence and started to eat. Of course, since I know Lingshang's recipe, I will now prepare dried fruits, candied fruits, honey water, cold dishes, etc. for her so that she can eat with me, and at the same time we can also learn her light taste.
While they were eating, they suddenly heard loud laughter from upstairs. The laughter was full of mockery. Someone shouted, "That Zhou Bo, don't you listen to how ridiculous your words are? Do you think a few words of comfort can save you from all danger? Ridiculous, ridiculous. Let me tell you, it's impossible, absolutely impossible. My master has the ability to see through everything. Can a few goats confuse him? That's impossible. Your so-called defensive behavior is just a joke, hahaha."
It was Bai Lu's voice, but her tone was slow and she sounded old. From this we can tell that it was the evil spirit attached to Bai Lu's body that was speaking at that time. Perhaps because we have been too wary of her in recent days, she decided to give up and showed up in her true form tonight to talk to us.
I stood up and said, "Old senior, I heard that you were a member of the scientific expedition team thirty years ago, but now you have fallen to this point, and you are still serving an evil spirit as your master. Don't you think you are the one who should be laughed at? Besides, even if your master has the ability to reach the sky and penetrate the earth, isn't he imprisoned and unable to move? If you can't move, what's the use of having great abilities? You should at least be more careful when scaring people, okay?"
"Yes, I can't stay here any longer anyway, so I'll make it clear to you tonight. Thirty years ago, I was indeed a scientific expedition worker, and the project we explored was the Hidden Dragon Mountain. I was the leader of those scientific expedition teams, and it was I who initiated the mobilization of the project, with the purpose of finding my master and serving him. I was already old and gray at that time, and only my master could give me a new life. This is also a kind of science, but you and I will never understand its profundity. Next, let's talk about my master being trapped. Since he has left a hunting mark, it is hard to say whether he can come out on the full moon night..." Bai Lu said in that eerie and old voice.
