Healing Hotel

Yu Qing has one more activity every day - stare at the raccoon cat, whoever blinks first will lose.

Because after looking at each other that day, he had to look away because of something, and the cihuamao raised his chest and became arrogant, even daring to enter the living room.

Hu Er said: "Because the eyes are also one of the weapons of animals. If you look away first, it will feel that it has the upper hand, so it will have to make an inch."

Yu Qing has always wanted to win back, but Lihuamao's skills are profound.

Yu Qing retreated in defeat, and now Cihuamao has lived in the small courtyard as if it were his own home, sleeping and playing during the day, and going out for a walk at night.

It wasn't until it rained again these two days that the cat slept in the living room and didn't go out.

This rain is unusual.There was a sudden thunder at night, which startled everyone.

There are few thunderstorms after the beginning of winter.Not to mention such violent rain and lightning.It's almost the same as Xia Tian.

The old house said: "Of course, Xiaoyu, have you forgotten, we have been in summer."

Yu Qing: "..." He really forgot about Xia Tian!

"In our world, people think that when there is thunder, it is summer insects sneezing." The old house comforted, "So don't make a fuss."

Yu Qing is not afraid of thunder, but...

The next day, he listened to the villagers' discussions and found that the thunderstorm only fell on the territory of the old house, but the thunder woke up the whole village.As long as the people on this side of the mountain have seen the thunder and lightning above Yu's house.

"They are all wondering if some ancestor of your family has ascended through the catastrophe and is going to be listed in the immortal class..." Second Aunt laughed.

Yu Qing also couldn't laugh or cry.

Fortunately, he seldom goes out and hardly cares about gossip.Moreover, once the thunderstorm was over, the thunder shoots appeared again.Being able to eat summer bamboo shoots in winter has a different kind of happiness.

Lao Tao said: "Actually, winter bamboo shoots are also delicious, tender and plump." They decided to ask their fellow villagers where to dig bamboo shoots.

Yu Qing didn't participate, the thunderstorm came last night, and the blue-tiled house leaked again, he thought it would be futile to move the tiles, and he could only make do with it for a while, if there were a few more rains, it would still leak.

The house has been unoccupied for many years, so it should be tidied... He asked his second aunt to help find a tile-reversing master, intending to turn over all the roof tiles to check for gaps and make up for leaks.

The second aunt said: "Everyone has built small buildings these days, and I'm afraid it's hard to find a bricklayer. I'll ask your old acquaintances, I don't know if they still do it."

Yu Qing asked her to invite her, and the reward was easy to negotiate.Because the blue tile house of the Yu family is unusual, it is relatively tall, and the style of the tiles is also rare, so I have to ask the master to take a look, if any piece is broken, is there any repairs.

The second aunt was quick to do things, and brought the man here within two days.

The two tile-turning masters are middle-aged, and the one is a bit fat and simple, and his surname is Wang.The other one is unshaven and looks more old-fashioned. His name is Gao Qiang.

Hu Er looked at Master Wang's stomach and said sadly, "Is this fat man really a bricklayer? Can he go to the house?"

Zhang Shu said blankly: "You have no right to say that."

Hu Er angrily turned around and left.

Master Wang smiled, and chatted with Yu Qing first when he came, and said, "What a coincidence, my master visited your house back then."

Yu Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll be counting on you today too."

Master Wang said "Where is that?" He looked up at the house and said in surprise, "Your house has been raised?"

Yu Qing: "Where?"

"I remember your old house, it wasn't that tall back then..." Fatty Wang said doubtfully.

Only then did Yu Qing take a closer look.It seems... is it that high?

He entered the house and quietly asked the old house: "Have you grown taller?"

"Yes." The old house said happily, "Tree houses are like trees, they grow every year. But it's not very obvious, because our growth is related to the owner, like my brother, his owner is a The leader of the giant family, the height is particularly obvious."

Yu Qing: "..." Fortunately, he was able to tell the bricklayer that his memory was wrong.

After all, it's been a long time, and who can remember things from childhood so clearly.

Master Wang didn't bother about it too much, since he came here he was working, he didn't rest at all, he didn't even drink his saliva, so he immediately went to Qingwafang to have a look.

Yu Qing prepared tea and food below, and asked them to come down to eat at their convenience. You don't need to be polite, just yell if you have something to do, and then go about your business as usual.

Anyway, there is an old house watching, and he will be told quickly if there is any situation in the house.

He was cutting leeks in the vegetable field, and he planned to make some leek boxes, and chopped pork to make some dumplings. He was cutting the vegetables, when he suddenly heard a strange noise over there.

The old man panicked and said, "It's not good!"

Yu Qing: "!!" Could it be that the master fell down?

It stands to reason that they have rich experience and will not fall.But the second aunt also said that the two of them hadn't turned over the tiles for a long time, and they might be a little rusty and slow to do it.

Yu Qing told them early on not to be in a hurry, but to take their time, anyway, he has food and shelter here.result……

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"" is he said..." said the old man in confusion.

Yu Qing: "..."

People safe is good.He can only be so thankful.As for the little tricks of the old house... Master Wang was dazzled once when he was a child, and it's okay to be dazzled again now.Anyway, no matter what he said, just kill him and refuse to admit it.

But what Yu Qing didn't expect was that Master Wang didn't mention the matter of the old house, but just helped Gao Qiang down first and let him rest for a while.

"You say you, don't hold on if you are not in good health."

Gao Qiang's complexion was a little ugly, but he looked up at the tall blue tile house, feeling a little dazed and dizzy.

He knew that his health was fine, but it was because he hadn't been in the room for a long time, and suddenly he was not used to it, and he was a little afraid of heights, and when the soles of his feet became unsteady, he fell.

In recent years, people have knocked down tile-roofed houses and rebuilt them one after another. There is very little demand for bricklayers. Old people can't do it anymore, and young people don't like to learn this.He actually didn't want to move at his age, but his family happened to be short of money. He heard that the tiles needed to be turned here, so he discussed it with Fatty Wang.

Fatty Wang changed careers early and became a contractor, but he has some capital. He was willing to partner with him because of his affection, and it happened that the construction period was over and he was idle, so he came out to play old skills.

But unexpectedly, Gao Qiang fell down suddenly.He muttered: "Could it be that I fell out of the shadow on the construction site earlier?"

Only then did Yu Qing know that Gao Qiang went to work on a construction site and accidentally fell off the crane, and then he couldn't climb higher anymore.

"How about we do some protective measures?" He pondered.It's okay to be afraid of falling, the key is that few people have the skill of turning tiles.Don't look simple, if you really do it, you can't do it without patience, care and vision.

Gao Qiang's face became even uglier, and he said, "I can't afford to lose that face!"

Master Wang was also helpless, and said: "Then take your time, I will do it first."

Gao Qiang refused, insisting on going to the room, saying that he should sit in the room for a while, maybe he would just get used to it.

However, as soon as he went up, his face turned pale, and he sat on the roof and dared not move.

I didn't dare to move all afternoon.He fainted when he moved, and he was afraid that he would fall.Gao Qiang was extremely frustrated.

"Hey, after all, I haven't done it for decades." Fatty Wang comforted him with a pat.

Gao Qiang didn't speak, and went back to the room in a dull mood.Although he doesn't repair tiles much anymore, he still thinks about finding a suitable place in the future and finding a junior to teach him, so as not to lose his skills.But now... Wouldn't it be a joke if people knew that he was afraid that Gao would not be able to get a room?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more frightened he felt, the weaker his feet became.Even when I looked out from the window, I felt a little dizzy.

This ancient house is really tall, and from the third floor, you can see the roof of the blue tile house.So yesterday when they were overturning tiles on the house, they found a few people watching with relish by the window, they must... saw him fall!

Gao Qiang lay down depressed.The rewards given by this family are indeed generous, and the food and accommodation provided are also very good.People who run a hotel actually arranged for them the same room as other guests.

He has been a bricklayer all his life, but he has never lived in such a nice house...

However, now because he can't get a house and can't turn over the tiles, he has failed to live up to the warm hospitality of others.

He recalled that the villagers many years ago were also so enthusiastic.But now people who build houses seldom build tile-roofed houses, they all build high-rise buildings.So he followed everyone to the city.

But after going back and forth, I always feel that something is missing.He saved some money and went back to his hometown. When he wanted to resume his old business, he suddenly found that Wa had almost disappeared.The remaining tile-roofed houses are hardly inhabited by people, and there is no need to renovate them...

He was distracted when Fatty Wang came in and asked, "Old Gao, are you okay?"

Gao Qiang shook his head.

Fatty Wang didn't know whether he was okay or not, so he just sighed: "It seems that we are all old. Originally, I thought about starting a glazed tile project, maybe I can still show my skills, but without you, I don't want to do it either."

As he spoke, he comforted: "But it's okay, the family is not in a hurry, and it doesn't matter if I take my time. Of course, I can't do without you! If you can't recover, it's the same for me to pass the guy."

Gao Qiang insisted: "I want to go up!"

Fatty Wang was surprised and didn't refute. He just nodded and said, "Go to bed early, we have to get up early tomorrow."

Gao Qiang fell asleep silently.

He was dreaming again.

Countless times he dreamed that he stood on a tall building in the city and looked down, and then... fell down involuntarily, and he would wake up with a start every time he fell.

He knew that this kind of fear of heights was normal. There were tens of floors of high-rise buildings in the city, which were really too high, and everyone would be afraid of danger.Every time he wakes up from the dream, he is terrified.

But not today.

There was no dream all night, and he woke up in good spirits, without the fatigue of the past.

Before going to the room, Yu Qing handed them cigarettes, lighters, and straw hats.

He bought the cigarettes specially last night.This was the first time that he offered to pass cigarettes to others.

"Smoking a cigarette on it might be better."

Anyway, the master was on the roof, and he ran away when the wind blew the smoke, and it didn't affect the guests.

Gao Qiang took the cigarette, finally climbed up, and sat down, clutching the rafters, still a little nervous, especially when looking down.

Fatty Wang reminded him: "Old Gao, don't look down, look far away. By the way, smoke a cigarette."

Gao Qiang smoked a cigarette, and there were green trees in the distance, as well as the roofs of several families and chic small buildings on the hillside.The mountains and rivers in this place are really good. You don’t notice it when you walk in the village, but when you look at it from a high place, it really looks like a painting.

He smoked for a while, and seemed to have found some feeling.When I was overturning tiles in the past, I was tired like this, sitting on the roof, smoking a cigarette and watching the scenery.Seen from a height, the people and things below become very small...

After smoking one, he felt his hands itchy, so he turned over the tiles in a sitting position.Let go of the good tiles, and look carefully at the bad ones, um... The idea of ​​this tile is covered with moss.

Not only moss, but also…

His eyes widened.

Tiny dolls!

Just under the tile, as soon as he lifted it, the light rushed into other tiles in a panic.

He must be dazzled.

Gao Qiang hastily flipped through a few more pieces, probably in a hurry to find them, his hand was flipping through them, and when he finished flipping through the ones nearby, he had to move them, and got up unconsciously, only then did he realize...

So high!

He lost his balance, tilted his body, and panicked.

But he didn't fall.

The little man ran out and grabbed his feet with his body.He suddenly grasped the body and came back.

This is really strange... Gao Qiang looked around, but found nothing else, and Fatty Wang didn't notice, so he poked the little man.

There is a light belt like a hemp rope around the little man's waist, and a figure eight knot is tied behind his back.The villain hid back in the tiles again, peeking curiously at him turning over the tiles.

Gao Qiang didn't know why, but he wanted to show off.He pretended to remove the tiles, looked over and over, and said, "This piece is okay."

He picked up the tile and tapped it as if pointing. "There are cracks, it can't be done."

Sure enough, the villain followed him all the time. Although he didn't have any facial features, he felt that he was looking very seriously and surprised.

Gao Qiang started to teach on the spot while being unbelievable, thinking that if he had an apprentice in the future, he would teach like this!

Although... this may be his last "apprentice".

Gao Qiang's recovery reduced Fatty Wang's workload a lot.

"Lao Gao was the best in our group, but he didn't catch up with the times. We just graduated from the teacher a few years ago, and this building has risen." Fatty Wang sighed.

Gao Qiang asked Yu Qing instead: "Is this old house going to be turned over?"

Lao Zhai hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm ticklish."

Yu Qing smiled and refused, and then said: "I'm afraid you are tired and don't want to do it. I don't have anyone living in this house, just to keep in mind, the days are still long, and I will definitely invite you in the future."

Fatty Wang also said: "I think your old house is fine, the craftsmen at that meeting did a good job."

Yu Qing just smiled.The tiles of the old house are a part of its body, of course they are seamless and cannot leak.

However, Gao Qiang seemed to be in good condition, and his efficiency was very fast, and he completed it on the third day.

He still has a little regret.

He felt there was still a lot to teach the little man!

But you can't rely on someone else's home?

Gao Qiang left Yu's house with a little bit of regret.

Just as soon as they left the gate, they received a new job.

Hearing that Yu's house had been overturned, several households in the village also became concerned.

Gao Qiang found out that the villain followed him!

It's just that it seems a little timid on other people's roofs, and it doesn't dare to run out. It only dares to poke its head to look, and even uses a piece of broken tile to block it.

Gao Qiang continued to speak in a low voice to himself.

Looking back on it a long time later, it was the most memorable time for him.Moreover, after that tile-turning, he never had the chance to see the blue-tile house again, and even his own house had already built a two-story building.

But he inexplicably felt that his craftsmanship would be passed down somewhere.

People in that place must not be afraid of heights... He touched the small rope on his wrist.Before the villain left, he bowed to him and left the rope behind.Later, when his children put on the rope, they would say in amazement that they no longer get dizzy at high places.But the rope seemed to be pulled by someone, preventing them from approaching danger when they were at a high place.
