Chapter 236: A Pounding Heart
Shield Mountain strode to the meteor land, and soon walked to the eastern part of the field. Sure enough, there was a river there, seventy or eighty zhang wide, and it seemed to be quite large.
The river is clear and half-golden to the sun, and you can clearly see the rocks and aquatic plants hidden underwater, and there are really groups of small silver fish swimming happily.
Seeing the river, Dunshan was a little melancholy, even though he had lived longer than the rest of the people on the Origin Earth, he should have been the only one who had never gone into the water to swim, right?
In the past, he was tormented by a strange disease, and his skin couldn't be touched, but then he became a monster with broken skin, and there was no swimming pool in the third space station. And then ......
Hey, then needless to say, the Steel-Armored Warrior can claim to be not afraid of the sky and the earth, but the most feared thing is the rusty joints.
"Brother," Dunshan said to Luban No. 7, "I agree that you catch fish in the winter, but you can't swim in the summer, and you can't even put your feet in it!" ”
"Huh? Why? Luban No. 7 looked up at him with his little head in disappointment.
"Because the materials we use can't be soaked in water. Even if you are a piece of wood, the wood will get damp and moldy if you soak it in water for a long time. There are a lot of things to play in this grassland, and you can play with others. ”
"Hmm~" Luban No. 7 understood, but the expression on his face was obviously "unwilling".
He tilted his neck and thought for a while, and his depressed mood rose, hugging Dunshan's thighs and saying, "Brother Iron Silly, if we build a small boat together...... Oh no, it's a big boat, do you think we can go down the river? ”
"Huh?" Dunshan's heart lit up, and his two eyes shone brightly. Yes, why didn't he think that the way to play in the water was not only swimming, but also taking a boat? Although none of them can soak in water, the protective paint on the surface of their bodies is enough to resist ordinary water and fire, and a few splashes of water are not in the way at all when they are bumpy on the boat!
Seeing that he didn't answer, Luban No. 7 was even happier, slapped his face crackling, and said with a smile: "If you don't speak, you acquiesce, brother iron fool, let's start construction!" ”
"Huh? Start now? No, you have to build the house before it rains! Dunshan agreed with Luban No. 7's idea, but still insisted on the order of things to be done.
Luban No. 7's mechanical mouth could only open and close up and down, but he pouted high in his heart, he thought: "This iron fool is also wide, right?" Will he not be allowed to build his house, and I will build my great ship? He really thinks of himself as my guardian! I'm an invincible machine creature born from Lu Ban's brain, he looks big, but his ability is definitely not as strong as mine! ”
But at this time, he didn't dare to openly confront Dunshan, so he had to nod aggrievedly and no longer mention shipbuilding.
Dunshan is not stupid, it is obvious that the little guy does not obey him, but what can he do? Even if it is only out of respect for Master Luban, you have to accommodate this baby brother at all times, as long as you are not blindly spoiled.
Besides, after all, it is the incarnation of the master, the genius that Luban No. 7 has shown in terms of creation, and Dunshan thinks it will be very useful for the future. Brothers are of the same heart, and their strength is broken, maybe one day they will form a powerful battle combination, and they will really be invincible in the world? Children will always grow up, and when they grow up, they will be sensible, and when they are sensible, they will be able to understand that their brother is their strongest support, and it is right to listen to their brother.
Dunshan contributed, Luban No. 7 came up with ideas, and when the sun was about to set, a beautiful wooden house appeared on the grassland. The wooden house has three rooms and a kitchen, the spacious yard can be used as an open-air workshop, and the wall is also full of firewood and wild mountain fruits, this is the warm home of Dunshan's dream, but for Luban No. 7, it is a cage that restricts him from going out.
After three days of quiet, Luban No. 7 thought that it was time to mention shipbuilding, but it rained on the grassland. At first it was like a diagonal filament, and then it grew in momentum, like a curtain of water falling from the sky.
This rain brought about a rainy season that lasted for three whole months, and the two of them had to use an umbrella to leave the room, not to mention building ships.
"Hey~" Luban No. 7 lay on the window lattice and looked at the river not far away. The continuous heavy rains caused the river to rise, but thanks to Dunshan's foresight in building the house upstream of the river, a subsequent flood was avoided.
That night, the two of them heard a loud "bang" in their sleep, thinking that the sky was falling, and hurriedly put on their coats and ran out to see the big oil-paper umbrella, but they saw that the grassland downstream had been flooded, and all the small trees that could be seen had fallen, and the turbulent water rushed away to an unknown place.
"It's a good thing the ship hasn't been built yet!" Luban No. 7 leaned on Dunshan's lap and said this.
"Why? Haven't you always regretted it? Dunshan asked strangely.
Luban No. 7 replied: "The boat can only be parked in the river after it is built, and if it encounters a flash flood, it will have to be washed away like those trees." ”
"Well, that's right." Dunshan nodded in agreement, but he sighed again: "I don't know where those trees drifted away after leaving the grassland." ”
"Brother, are you so eager to leave the grassland and go somewhere else?" Dunshan asked sadly.
Luban No. 7 nodded his little head and said, "I think Heaven and Earth is a very big house, much bigger than our hut. There is everything in the house of heaven and earth, we don't need to nest in our own hut, this will miss a lot of beautiful scenery. ”
"Take the sky as the cover, and the earth as the house!" Dunshan thought of this sentence and thought that Luban No. 7's statement was actually quite philosophical and reasonable, so could it be that his understanding was wrong? But he didn't plan to stay here for the rest of his life.
After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of the Python Shield Mountain at the other end of the Great Wall, the Mang Mountain that had been eaten up by the candle dragon, and still had the remnants of hollow boulders and dead trees. Probably because it tasteless, the candle dragons didn't bother to remove the leftovers.
Luban No. 7 first came to the world, and he didn't know the dangers and hardships of this world, if he took him to see it, maybe he could put away his ambition to have fun, quiet down and learn knowledge?
Dunshan thought it was a good idea, and anyway, he had a plan to return to the Python Shield Mountain area and destroy the candle dragons to prevent them from continuing to hurt people, so he decided to take Luban 7 with him.
Hearing that he was going to travel after the rain and the sky was clear, Luban No. 7 was very happy, jumping like a little rabbit for a night, and fell asleep at dawn.
Dunshan doesn't need to sleep, so he takes advantage of this time to pack his bags for a long trip. He estimated that the trip would take about a month, and when the candle dragon was eliminated, he would return with Luban No. 7 and teach him to read and write in the cabin.
The next day, when Luban No. 7 opened his eyes to look at the sky outside the window, he wanted to cry and laugh.
He saw that the sky was clear, and the clouds that had been washed away by the heavy rain of the previous night had washed away, and the sky had returned to its clear color, and now it was as blue as a jewel, but the edges were glowing with brilliant seven-colored light.
The seven-colored light comes from the setting sun, which is half-hidden behind the tassel-like sunset, as if waving goodbye to the earth.
