I Built a Home on the Back of the Black Tortoise

Chapter 24: Heavy rain arrives unannounced.

Rumble~~

A thunderclap exploded in the air.

“Hooah!” Mino was woken up by the sound of thunder.

A bright light flashed past the window.

“Rumble……”

This was followed by the muffled sound of thunder.

“A thunderstorm?” Mino blinked and got up quickly.

She came to the window and looked at the sky outside, it was already dawn.

The original bright sky was now full of black clouds, making people feel very small and at the same time sighing at the magnificence of nature.

“A night has passed already.” With a smile, Mino lightly turned around, and her beautiful eyes looked at the painting hanging on the wall.

She looked at it with fascination and praised: “Every time I look at it, I feel incredible.”

The girl thought about it all night, but she didn’t understand how this picture could be drawn.

“What a shame.” Mino covered her face.

She thought of the painting she had drawn yesterday, and it was too embarrassing.

“Rumble……” The thunder sounded again.

Mino recovered from the shame and reluctantly glanced at the painting again and then she opened the door and left the room.

The fire pit in the hall was already burning.

“Where is he?” Mino looked around and did not see anyone. She came to the courtyard and saw that Mu Liang was busy.

She asked suspiciously, “Mu Liang, what are you doing?”

“Preparing to store rain water.” Mu Liang cooperated with the rock tortoise to transform the courtyard.

He was going to make it like a slope so that the rainwater would gather and flow to the large bathtub that had been arranged at a lower place in advance.

“Then what should I do?” Mino rolled up her sleeves.

“Go ahead and make breakfast.”

Mu Liang thought for a moment and said, “Prepare a little more charcoal, it will be needed later.”

Mino replied obediently, “Okay.”

“I didn’t expect that, I was thinking about the rain last night, and it’s here today.”

Mu Liang looked up at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky.

He thought of the feedback from the tricolored lizard at dawn, that Blood Beard had already set off.

“It is estimated that they will be staggered at noon.” Mu Liang thought about the distance between the two sides, and he would cross the Blood Beard team at noon.

“Now, it’s better to get a little more water.”

Mu Liang took out some better wood from the courtyard and prepared to make a few more large baths. He needed to store more water if he would have the chance.

Click, click, click……

The wood chips flew and were split into wooden boards. The area between the two boards was cut flat and even polished on the stone.

It was not difficult to make a large bathtub. When compressing the wood, the gaps were filled with spider silk. As long as the details were well handled, it would not leak.

An hour or so was spent making a large bathtub. He made three large bathtubs.

Mu Liang also went to have breakfast on the way the thunder rang intermittently until noon, and finally, it rained.

The rain was like torrential rain. The beads of rain hit a person, and it was a little painful.

The rock tortoise was not hurrying in the rainstorm, its limbs and head were retracted into the tortoise shell, and it stopped quietly beside a mountain.

“Mu Liang, what should I do now?” Mino looked at the rain outside and wanted to rush out to take a shower.

She didn’t forget what Mu Liang asked: Can’t you smell the sour stench on your body?

“Are you going out to take a bath with your clothes on?” Mu Liang looked at the rain curtain in the yard, and there was enough water for the bath.

“Yeah, otherwise how do I wash it?” Mino asked suspiciously.

“Go to the bathroom, I’ll remove the roof from the bathroom.”

Mu Liang glanced at the dirty clothes on the girl’s body.

“Okay.” Mino’s cheeks were flushed.

Mu Liang used his abilities to divide the roof of the bathroom into two sides, and then put them together after the rain stopped.

He told the young girl, “Go on, and don’t take too long to wash.”

“Okay.” Mino blushed and went into the bathroom.

“I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to take a shower.” Mu Liang scratched his wet hair.

He looked left and right, took off his shirt, and walked into the rain……

Ten minutes later, Mu Liang put on the clothes he had washed in the rain and returned to the hall with water stains all over his body.

He kept the fire going in the fire pit and boiled the broth.

“Without clothes to change, it will be a little troublesome.” Mu Liang scratched his hair.

He suddenly thought of the five rolls of cloth he had obtained before and cut a three-meter-long piece of cloth with his knife.

He folded the fabric in half, and at the midline, he used a knife to cut a hole for the head to pass through.

“Without needles and threads, it seems that spider silk can work.”

After Mu Liang folded the cloth in half, he left two openings on the shoulders of the cloth so that the arms could be worn out.

On both sides of the remaining cloth, he pressed his fingers against the cloth, and the spider silk was sewed through the cloth to make a sleeveless round-neck robe.

“Hiss~~” Mino was freezing and shivering her body, sucking in the cold air as she walked into the hall.

She bathed for more than half an hour this time. When she came in, she saw the odd-looking sleeveless round neck robe in Mu Liang’s hands.

“Come here and change your clothes.” Mu Liang beckoned the girl to take her clothes into the room to change.

“How do I wear this?” Mino was a little confused.

“Just put the head through the middle and the arms from the sides.”

Mu Liang explained it quickly and pushed the girl into the room.

If one got sickness and cold at this time, in the apocalypse there were no Western herbal medicine, one could only rely on immunity to carry over.

“I have to make another sleeveless round neck robe.” Mu Liang shook his head and sighed.

He didn’t feel the cold, but the wet clothes were uncomfortable against his body.

After Mino changed her robes, she stepped out of the room.

She felt that the robe was empty, and said with a blushing face, “Mu Liang, this dress is so strange.”

“It’s quite beautiful.” Mu Liang sniffed and complimented, and for a moment, he was stunned by the young girl.

Now, the girl’s dirty face had been washed clean. She had pure white skin, a melon-shaped face, and large blue eyes.

She had long, water-blue hair that reached her waist and blue rabbit ears. She looked as gentle as water.

In particular, a pair of rabbit ears had a different charm.

Mu Liang didn’t expect that after the dirty girl would take a bath, a girl with eighteen changes would appear. She was so attractive at a young age.

“Sit down and drink hot soup to warm up.” Mu Liang didn’t want the girl to catch a cold.

That would be the most troublesome way to start.

“Well, come and drink with me.” Mino’s pretty face flushed, and she filled two bowls of soup.

Mu Liang waved his hand: “You drink first, I’m almost done with this dress.”
