The women downstairs were not having an easy time either. They picked up brooms and started cleaning up the puddles in the yard.

The stone slabs in the yard had been corroded by acid rain over this period of time, and pits and puddles of various sizes had formed, reflecting the somewhat dilapidated appearance of the tower.

The women bent over and waved the brooms vigorously to drive the accumulated water towards the gutter outside the yard.

As they were cleaning, their eyes fell on the stone slabs in the yard that were pitted by acid rain. Their faces were full of distress, and they couldn't help talking about it one after another.

Li Hui frowned, gently rubbed the dent on a stone slab with her foot, and sighed, "Oh, look at these stone slabs, they were so smooth before, so beautiful.

It was so comfortable to walk on it. But after the acid rain, you can see what it has become now. There are potholes everywhere. You have to be careful not to sprain your ankle when walking on it. "

Ye Mei next to her also agreed, stopped the broom in her hand, and said with regret: "Yes, it took a lot of effort to lay these slabs.

I didn’t expect that the acid rain would be like an evil landlord and destroy them like this. I don’t know how much effort it will take to restore them to their original state.”

While sweeping the water, Chen Dafeng looked around, her eyes reddened, "Everywhere in our building has been affected by the acid rain.

Life is so hard. A good home is now in tatters. It makes me sad to see it.”

Li Hui replied, "That's right, but fortunately the acid rain has finally stopped. Let's clean it up now and then do some repairs later.

Maybe it can be restored to its original state. But we can’t just let it fall into disrepair, this tower is our livelihood.”

While everyone was busy going up and down the stairs, Su Yue brought Nanny Yang and Rendong to an empty room.

As soon as Nanny Yang and Rendong entered the house, they stood on both sides of the door tacitly, looking vigilantly at the movements outside the house, taking charge of the task of watching the wind.

Su Yue released a lot of glutinous rice and lime from the space, thinking in her mind that these materials would be of great use.

After all, after being damaged by acid rain, many parts of the tower need to be repaired and reinforced with them.

Nanny Yang looked at the bags of glutinous rice and lime taken out from the space, and her slightly frowned brows relaxed a little.

Fortunately, the girl had the foresight to stock up a lot of these things, otherwise they would have had trouble even finding a place to live.

The master and his two servants had just left the house and were about to go downstairs when they happened to meet Song Mingtao and a dozen others who were also walking down from the roof.

The men were all sweating and covered in dust as they carried the debris they had cleared from the roof.

The debris included oilcloth that was soaked by acid rain and some rusty iron rods. Looking at them made people feel more deeply about the serious damage caused by the acid rain.

When they saw Su Yue, they greeted her warmly, with simple smiles on their honest faces and a hint of fatigue in their voices, but they could not hide their enthusiasm for the subsequent renovation of the tower.

Su Yue smiled and nodded at them, then took two quick steps and called out to Song Mingtao who was walking in front.

"Uncle Song," Su Yue said softly, "I just came out of that room with Mammy and Honeysuckle. I put some glutinous rice and lime in the room. I thought you must know how to use these two things better than I do, so I won't say more.

After all, you and your uncles are very experienced, and we will have to rely on you to make decisions on the renovation of the tower."

When Song Mingtao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of joy. His face, which had been a little serious due to being busy, suddenly relaxed, and his eyes flashed with surprise.

"Oh, girl, you really helped a lot!" Song Mingtao said excitedly, his voice unconsciously rising a few notes, "I was just worrying about where to find these things. To repair the tower, we need glutinous rice and lime, because they are the main materials of our tower.

With these two things, the difficulty of our repair will be greatly reduced.

The acid rain has damaged the tower, and cracks have appeared in many places on the walls. The corners and other parts need to be repaired and reinforced with glutinous rice and lime. Otherwise, if there is another heavy rain, the tower will be in danger. "

When the men nearby heard this, their slightly red faces from the sun all showed relaxed smiles.

One of Zhong Tie's apprentices asked, "Uncle Song, how can sticky rice and lime repair the tower? I've never heard of them before. Is there anything magical about them?"

Song Mingtao smiled and patiently explained: "After the glutinous rice is boiled into paste, it is very sticky. It is mixed with lime and used to fill the cracks in the wall.

After it dries, it will be much stronger than ordinary materials and can make the wall more solid, just like putting a layer of solid armor on the tower. It is very useful. "

After hearing this, Zhong Tie's disciples all nodded in sudden understanding.

The other men did not look too surprised, because they had all participated in the construction of the tower and knew the functions of lime and glutinous rice.

Song Mingtao continued, "Girl, you have thought it through very carefully. With these materials, we can speed up the progress of the renovation.

I will arrange for someone to properly handle the sticky rice and lime, and start repairing the severely damaged areas on the top floor, so that our building can be restored to its former appearance as soon as possible."

Su Yue smiled and responded: "Uncle Song, you can make the arrangements. As long as the tower can be made strong again, everyone can live in peace."

Song Mingtao nodded: "Girl, don't worry. Once the materials are in place, I will be able to arrange it properly.

Let's throw the things outside the building first, then we will clean the roof, and when the roof is dry we can start the repair work.

After that, the men got busy again. Several people worked in groups, carrying the rotten oilcloth, rusty iron rods and other debris that had been cleared from the top floor, and walked towards the outside of the building.

Along the way, the oilcloth soaked by acid rain was still dripping with dirty water, leaving wet marks on the stairs.

When they got outside the tower, everyone found a relatively open place and threw all the debris there, and in an instant a small hill was piled up.

The men watched as the world outside the tower was washed clean by the heavy rain, and the breeze no longer carried a foul smell but a unique mountain smell.

Even on the mountains, there are a lot of green sprouts, which makes people feel relieved, as if they see hope.
