Seeing Gou run into trouble, Yao Wei was even more anxious than Lu Xi'an. She hurriedly followed down the stairs and picked up Gou, who was lying on his back, to check him.
After Gou's four dog legs moved without any problems, she finally felt relieved.
Lu Xi'an leaned down on the upstairs railing and glanced down, asking, "Is it okay?"
"No problem."
Yao Wei shook her head and said, putting down the mechanical dog.
Lu Xi'an said, "I'll still change the wheels later; it seems hooves are more useful."
"Alright."
Yao Wei nodded in agreement. Such a useful Gou should be protected from damage!
But then the mechanical dog stood still, as if calibrating something. After a while, it seemed to finish calibrating, its wheels rolling back and forth like a toy car. Walking with a "da da da da," the wheels got stuck and could function as hooves!
Was Gou just doing a system adaptation?!
"Looks like no need to change it. Sigh, all the way from the north to the south, I didn't expect Gou to have such ability."
Lu Xi'an sighed and said.
Unexpectedly to Lu Xi'an, Yao Wei suddenly said faintly, "We're not in the south yet."
Lu Xi'an was slightly surprised, as if this woman was sensitive to this topic.
He asked, "So where is the south?"
Yao Wei was silent and did not answer.
Lu Xi'an didn't press the question further.
He went back inside, using Yao Wei's tools to remove the air conditioner carefully.
Only after confirming Gou was indeed okay and after re-edited the action control program, did Yao Wei carry Gou upstairs.
Upon entering the bedroom, she saw Lu Xi'an waiting for her with air conditioning in his arms.
"Catch it. The tube inside is vacuum-sealed; we don't have the tools to extract air, so we can only remove the outside unit along with the inside unit and pipe."
Lu Xi'an said.
Yao Wei reached over and took the air conditioner, which felt quite light to her.
Lu Xi'an reminded her, "The pipe isn't long enough, you need to hold the air conditioner here for a while. We don't have specialized tools to disassemble it; I have to directly remove the air conditioner with the outside unit together."
"Okay."
Yao Wei agreed and stood still holding the air conditioner.
Lu Xi'an opened the bedroom window, peered out to inspect. After inspection, he took a hammer from Yao Wei's toolbox and forcefully made a hole in the wall, breaking the steel bars inside.
This hole extended to the window, allowing Lu Xi'an to move the pipe across and remove the outside unit together.
Yao Wei remained standing in place, not understanding what the outside unit meant, but it seemed Lu Xi'an understood, so she just needed to follow instructions.
Apparently, it's not just the air conditioning; Lu Xi'an seems to know a lot about other things too, like parasites, germs, and proteins in the meat.
She understood parasites and germs, but what protein was, she did not know.
Before, she only relied on her life experience, knowing that what Lu Xi'an said was good for her, she obediently listened to him.
Now it was the same.
She watched Lu Xi'an step over the window and go outside, she glanced over and knew what the outside unit was.
On the external wall outside the window, a metal box the same color as the air conditioning could be seen, covered in dust, with mottled rust marks.
The angle wasn't quite right, Lu Xi'an needed to stand entirely outside to remove the outside unit.
His strength was so great now, holding the outside unit in his hand wasn't hard at all.
In the previous life, this was something unthinkable.
"I'm coming in, you step back."
Lu Xi'an said as he walked inside alone carrying the air conditioning outside unit, simultaneously adjusting the attached pipe to avoid getting snagged by the chaotic mess on the wall.
The two of them, one inside the window, one stepping back, quickly moved the entire air conditioner to the bedside, placing it on the bed.
"Let's go, carry the air conditioner to the car; I'll try to install it."
Lu Xi'an said, "The water in the pool should be frozen by now, but the temperature's quite high right now, so it might melt soon. How about we wait to fill up with water before leaving?"
This world's weather changes are so extreme that if his constitution hadn't been transformed radically after coming to this world, he would've fallen ill in the ice and fire extremes.
Yao Wei nodded, then carried the outside unit alone and walked out of the bedroom.
Lu Xi'an originally planned to fight for it and take the relatively heavier outside unit himself, but seeing Yao Wei handle it so easily, like carrying Gou, he gave up and carried the inside unit out.
Behind them, the mechanical dog followed them, its four wheels spinning, running smoothly and quickly. At the staircase, it instantly braked.
The tires were locked dead, which wouldn't affect Gou going down the stairs. But when it ran down, it inevitably wobbled like before, looking somewhat comical.
At the car, the two put down the air conditioning inside and outside units, and Lu Xi'an began to consider where it would be suitable to install this thing.
He eventually chose the location on the side of the trunk, there was an iron window grill to fix the inside unit. Moreover, it's close to a window, convenient for making an opening for the tubes.
As for the outside unit, Lu Xi'an originally thought of putting it on the car roof, but suddenly remembered that in the previous life it was heard that the outside unit has to be lower than the inside one, so he had to find another place.
He walked around the car once, the outside at the car's tail was originally supposed to hang a spare tire, but this car had no spare, so it could hang the outside unit.
This might cause other minor problems, but choosing the lesser harm of two, the car tail was the best choice.
However, before installing the air conditioner, one more thing needed the car owner's permission.
"I need to make a hole in your car to let the tube pass through, is that okay? If not, we can forget about it."
Lu Xi'an said.
Yao Wei furrowed her brows, pondered for a long time, then asked, "Once installed, can the air conditioner work?"
Lu Xi'an replied, "Haven't we been using it all along? Now we're just moving the air conditioner from the upstairs to your car; the air conditioner definitely has no issues."
Yao Wei then nodded and said, "Alright. I'll make the hole."
She still wasn't confident in Lu Xi'an's craftsmanship.
So Lu Xi'an stepped aside, told Yao Wei the location where the hole should be, and let her do it.
After Yao Wei made the hole, Lu Xi'an understood why the woman didn't trust his craftsmanship.
The hole she made was just right, right next to the window edge, convenient to open the window and embed the tube, when the car window closes, it slightly squeezes, perfectly sealing the tube, seamless, without leaving any blemishes.
If it was done by him, it definitely wouldn't be so precise.
"Impressive!"
Lu Xi'an praised. He removed the iron net of the rear car window, rolled down the window, stuffed the air conditioner inside unit in through the window, pressed down the tube, rolled up the glass, then put back the iron net and started to bind the air conditioner.
There were quite a few ropes on Yao Wei's car. With some effort, the air conditioner could be securely fixed on the iron window grill.
The outside unit on the roof was also hung in the same manner, connected at the place for hanging a spare tire on the car tail.
Having done all this, Lu Xi'an called Gou into the car and connected the power.
"Vroom—"
The air conditioner started, and the temperature inside the car quickly rose. Lu Xi'an adjusted the mode to cooling, and the car interior was soon filled with refreshing breezes, feeling very comfortable.
"Done, finished!"
Lu Xi'an smiled with satisfaction and turned to ask Yao Wei, "How is it?"
"It's fine."
Yao Wei's review was very brief, but she at least nodded.
Next, the two went out to the pool to fill Bottle with water. Yao Wei also took a pot from the car and filled it with water.
Lu Xi'an looked at the pot and couldn't help but nostalgically sigh, "Back then, I also had pots, more than just one; boiling pot, steaming pot, clay pot, wok, all sorts, sadly..."
Sadly, when leaving East Gate County, Wanhu Village, they couldn't be carried away and were all left behind.
Even more regrettably, when he was at Wanhu Village, he had to save oil and salt, thus never using the wok.
How hard life is!
He sighed, getting no response from Yao Wei. Seeing Yao Wei carrying a pot of water to the car, he followed and said, "Are we planning to cook the remaining pork to eat? If I had known, we should've kept the pig bones to make soup."
Previously, the pot should have been blocked by other things, so he didn't see it.
"Oh."
Yao Wei had never used pig bones to make soup, but she unknowingly started to believe in Lu Xi'an's insight, so she said, "Then go back and pick it up."
Lu Xi'an: "..."
