Three Realms Sanatorium

Xie Jiusi picked up all the things that Gu Shi had bought with his own hands, his face was still expressionless, but he was in a pretty good mood.

Can't say why, but it's good anyway.

Gu Shi looked up at the gate of the small commodity market, and for the consideration of those merchants who had betrayed Xie Jiusi, he simply left the small commodity market before Xie Jiusi came back.

He sent Xie Jiusi a message and rushed to the building materials market to compare prices.

Xie Jiusi said hello to him.

There are two large trade cities in City B, among which the building material stores are concentrated in the west of the city.

Gu Shi's eyes were smeared on this aspect, and this time he was not going to make a decision on the spot, but was just going to make an inquiry and compare prices.

He walked around the building materials mall and looked at the price list he wrote down in his notebook, feeling dizzy.

When the Cangwu Temple was built is no longer testable to Gu Shi, anyway, the old man never told him.

But what is certain is that this is not the era when reinforced concrete was used wantonly.

Gu Shi remembered that when he was a child, he and Gu Xiuming were trimming the statues behind Gu Xiuming's back. Gu Xiuming repeatedly told him to remember to keep dry and be careful of open flames and the like.Later, the candlesticks used for worship were no longer open flames, but replaced by electronic candlesticks. Only the daily incense was still lit in a proper manner.

Gu Shi felt that the Cangwu Temple was likely to be a pure wooden structure.

And now... Gu Shi looked at the records in his notebook.

In the stores he looked at, the cheapest pine wood for solid wood panels costs 40 yuan for the specifications of 20x1.7x13, and the paint process is not included.

Compared with steel bars, the price of solid wood products can be at least six or seven times higher.

Better wood is even more expensive.

Gu Shi couldn't help touching his pocket.

That's enough, don't talk about the plaque, the more than [-] yuan is probably enough for him to build a door for Cangwu Temple.

It’s not that solid wood is so expensive, but Cangwu Temple is a glorious Taoist temple after all, so the mountain gate is magnificently built, the gate is thick and solid, plus the door frame and corridor eaves attached to the door, the wood and the post-processing I'm afraid that the craftsmanship can directly empty Gu Shi and make him owe a hundred thousand or so.

Oh, and that's not even counting labor costs.

Gu Shi's mind was buzzing, he sighed deeply, and wrote down the quotation of the last store, with a frowning face.

The business of building materials usually doesn't even open one in a month.

The store owner is a middle-aged man with a few strands of white hair on his head. He hugged a hand warmer and huddled by the fire in the corner of the front door. Looking at the young man with a frowning face, he asked him: "Young man, is your home going to be renovated?" ?”

"Ah, no." Gu Shi shook his head. Before Xie Jiusi had arrived, he simply hid in the store and chatted with the boss, "My family lives in a Taoist temple, but it's quite broken. My old man is very old. I miss the old days again, but the family didn’t have any money before, and now that I’ve made some money, I want to repair it for the family…”

The shopkeeper was surprised: "Taoist temple? Where is it?"

"In Zhongshan."

The shopkeeper paused for a moment, showing a little thought: "I seem to have heard of it."

Gu Shi was taken aback: "Huh?"

The store owner recalled: "A few years ago, a customer came to inquire about the price. The location of my shop is not good, and the business is not doing well. Most of them came to my house last. He said a few more words to me, and said yes. You have to cultivate your own Taoism."

Gu Shi was silent.

The shopkeeper: "He sighed when he left. It's very uncomfortable for him to look very old. I always remember it."

"That should be my old man." Gu Shi pursed his lips, and glanced at the other stool next to the stove, "Can I sit down?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "Sit casually, there is no business anyway."

After sitting down, Gu Shi didn't know what to say.

The shopkeeper chattered: "Then we are destined, how is the old man?"

"It's very good. You can still chase me all over the mountain with a ruler."

The shopkeeper asked, "How big is your Taoist temple?"

"More than 70 acres." Gu Shi said, "I originally wanted to see if I could repair the gate of our house."

The store owner was taken aback by more than 70 acres: "...is it so big? It will cost a lot of money. How long has your Taoist temple been here?"

Gu Shi shook his head: "I don't know, the old man said it's been hundreds of years."

The shopkeeper let out a "huh" and said, "Then you should go to the Bureau of Cultural Relics or something for help. There is no hope of repairing it by yourself, and there is no engineering team that can repair ancient buildings."

Gu Shi was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head suddenly, enlightened!

Grass!How can it be like this!

I have been isolated from normal human society for a long time, and my brain is not as fast as others!

Gu Shi stuffed the notebook into his pocket, jumped up, and beamed with joy: "Hey, you're right, thank you, I'll find a way now!"

Before he finished speaking, people rushed out, and by the time the shopkeeper responded, Gu Shi had disappeared.

The shopkeeper was stunned for two seconds, thinking that the young people nowadays are really surprised, and felt that they had done a good deed, couldn't help but smile on their face, and shrank back into the stove happily.

Gu Shi found Xie Jiusi who was about to send him a message at the gate of the trade city.

He was so happy that he jumped up in front of Xie Jiusi, danced and said the idea given to him by the store just now.

"If people are willing to repair it for us, maybe the local tourism will give us a promotion, and then we can put some things on display..."

Gu Shi suddenly got stuck while talking, and paused: "However, if many ordinary people come to my house, maybe there will be strange guys mixed in. Is it dangerous for the old man to divination?"

Xie Jiusi really didn't know much about the structure of human society, but he was so excited when he took care of him, he still didn't ask first: "Ask your master."

Gu Shi thought it was the same, so he called Gu Xiuming.

Not long after Gu Xiuming trimmed his beard, he was gnawing steamed buns and vegetable buns warming in the pot, sighing at his beard that had to be thinned by half, and said in a bad mood when he answered the phone: "What are you doing? ?”

Gu Shi went straight to the point: "Old man, you said our family, can you ask the Bureau of Cultural Relics for help?"

Gu Xiuming didn't react for a while: "What?"

Gu Shi explained: "As for whether the repair of our home can be handed over to the state, I checked, and the Bureau of Cultural Relics is in charge of cultural and tourism management. If our home can be registered, thousands of troubles will be solved on the spot! "

"Do not."

Gu Xiuming instinctively rejected these institutions.

On the one hand, he and Gu Shi always had to suffer a little when they went to register to receive subsidies every year, and on the other hand, in the early years, Cangwu Temple was robbed and destroyed by people in the name of consistent policies.

If it weren't for the latter, the Cangwu Temple wouldn't be so dilapidated.

Gu Xiuming is stubborn: "If we want to fix it, we can fix it ourselves, or else we won't fix it."

"Then no one can get this money out." Gu Shi asked, "And can you repair it yourself? Now ordinary engineering teams don't know how to restore ancient buildings."

Gu Xiuming stopped talking.

Of course he can't fix it.

But he didn't agree to Gu Shi either.

Gu Xiuming responded, and Gu Shi continued: "Old man, you also know that you don't have a few years to live, you can figure out where the limit is, and I know myself well, so I will definitely earn money in these few years If you don’t come with so much money, even if you have enough money, you won’t have contacts who can repair ancient buildings..."

Gu Xiuming put down the steamed bun in his hand: "What about when my old man is working in the future? Now, what about safety? What about confidentiality?"

Gu Shi was stuck. He originally wanted to ask Gu Xiuming if he could solve this problem, but he was stopped instead.

"...I just wanted to ask you what to do." Gu Shi muttered softly.

Gu Xiuming snorted: "What can we do? Both of us, master and apprentice, are weak. I can't do anything but count my life, and you can't do anything except kill a few monsters. What can I do? What can I do? Your grandparents and uncles are still there, so it’s not enough to..."

Gu Xiuming stopped talking at this point, and Gu Shi also fell silent.

indeed.

Gu Shi thought, he and Gu Xiuming were alone, they didn't have much money, and they didn't have many friends. Apart from each other and this Taoist temple, there were only empty pockets and nothing left.

What a big deal really happened, the two of them, the master and the apprentice, were killed and there was not enough space between their teeth.

Gu Shi was a little annoyed, it would be great if he was some kind of awesome big monster.

If he was a powerful monster, he wouldn't be as powerless as he is now.

Xie Jiusi looked at Gu Shi with his head down, and kicked the curb with his mobile phone. He heard the conversation between Gu Shi and Gu Xiuming, but he didn't understand why the master and apprentice suddenly became depressed.

Xie Jiusi asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Gu Shi pursed his lips, "I just found out that I'm really too weak, and I can't even protect a stinky old man."

Xie Jiusi was even more puzzled: "What does that matter, I can protect it."

Gu Shi was taken aback, then turned to look at Xie Jiusi.

Xie Jiusi: "?"

Gu Shi blinked: "Xie Jiusi, do you want to help me?" Xie Jiusi: "Yes."

Gu Shi felt a hot current in his heart for no reason, and rushed to his forehead with a bulging sourness, and his nasal cavity was full of slight pain and soreness.

He suddenly realized that Gu Xiuming was not the only one standing beside him.

Xie Jiusi said: "When I made the deal with your master, I said that I would try my best to protect his safety during the cooperation period. This is my duty."

Gu Shi: "... Oh."

Gu Shimu put a face on his face, stuffed back the emotion that had just risen, and stepped on his feet mercilessly.
