After telling Hua Yue to sleep in the small room next to the front hall of the wing, Zhou Jun returned to his bedroom.
By candlelight, Zhou Jun used charcoal pencil to scribble and make corrections on the paper. It took him a long time to draw what he wanted.
After carefully putting the drawings away, Zhou Jun changed his clothes and went to sleep.
After sleeping until the sun rose, Zhou Jun shook his head and got up from the bed.
After simply wiping his face with the dry cloth in the room, Zhou Jun opened the door and walked out.
Arriving at the front hall of the wing, Zhou Jun saw the small room where Hua Yue lived, with the door ajar.
Out of curiosity, Zhou Jun walked to the door and took a look, only to find a porcelain cup tied with silk thread inside the door and upside down on the grid on the other side of the door.
If someone comes in uninvited and the porcelain cup breaks on the ground, the people in the room will immediately be alert.
Quite a primitive alarm trap, but very effective.
Zhou Jun stretched out his fingers, slowly took out the porcelain cup, and carefully put it aside.
Walking into the door, Zhou Jun saw Hua Yue wearing a complete set of clothes and not even taking off her shoes. She was not lying on the bed, but curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
Zhou Jun approached Hua Yue, lowered his head and looked at him carefully.
This fourteen-year-old girl who eats a lot has experienced too many hardships.
When she is awake, she is like a female beast wandering alone in the wilderness, alert and fierce, resisting and rejecting all people and things that may become a threat.
Only when she fell asleep now did she let go of her usual guard and became more like a woman.
Shocking scars covered Hua Yue's face and neck. If you look carefully, if there were no scars, she might be very beautiful.
Her skin is a healthy wheat color, her facial features are exquisite, and her contours are three-dimensional. Her appearance combines the strengths of women from ancient Persia and Central Asia.
In particular, her pair of amber eyes that looked like the full moon, with their penetrating clarity and beautiful jade fluorescence, added a bit of mystery and nobility to her.
However, apart from these things, Zhou Jun always felt that the red sores on Hua Yue's body were a bit strange.
Perhaps Zhou Jun had been looking at it for a long time, Hua Yue vaguely felt that there was someone in front of him, and suddenly opened his eyes.
After seeing the person in front of him clearly, Hua Yue turned pale with fright, took out something from behind, stood up and stabbed Zhou Jun fiercely.
Zhou Jun also reacted very quickly, reaching out and grabbing Hua Yue's arm, stopping her attack.
Upon closer inspection, the weapon in Hua Yue's hand turned out to be a wooden chopstick ground into sharp spikes.
Staring at Zhou Jun, Huayue gritted her teeth and roared: "If you dare to smear my innocence, I will die with you, and we will be burned together!"
Zhou Jun let go of Huayue's arm and said helplessly: "I don't have that idea."
Huayue arched her body and said with a guarded face: "I heard from those servants that you are like a devil, seducing the women in the city and leading them to fall!"
Zhou Jun was furious after hearing this.
What kind of heartless bastard is this, talking nonsense there.
Zhou Jun couldn't explain anything to Huayue. Although the other party was his personal maid, sneaking into her room while she was sleeping, even if it was out of curiosity, was indeed not a glorious thing.
"Some things may be different from what you imagine." Zhou Jun said while retreating to the door: "No matter how much I say, it is useless. Only time will prove everything."
Leaving the door, Zhou Jun patted his face, feeling a little regretful.
Yesterday, I managed to get closer to Hua Yue, but today I messed up everything.
But there's no point thinking about it now, there are more important things to do right now.
After riding on his horse and asking for directions from his servant, Zhou Jun came to a neighboring horse and carriage shop and found the person in charge.
In front of the steward, Zhou Jun spread out the drawings, pointed at the objects on them and asked: "Is it possible to make it?"
The manager of the carriage shop looked at the drawings carefully and said, "It's not difficult. There are ready-made materials. You can modify it and use it."
Zhou Jun: "When can I get it?"
Steward: "In an hour."
Zhou Jun: "Okay."
After wandering around the street for a while, Zhou Jun went to the carriage shop at the agreed time and saw what he ordered.
They were two round wheel-shaped objects made of wood. On the inside of the wheel, wooden strips were used to make a vehicle frame with an inclined angle. In the center of the wooden wheel, there was a tubular gap, and a belt was installed inside.
Bronze bearings in slots.
The steward then directed the workers to wrap the wooden wheels with strips of cloth, making them look like two wooden tires wrapped in cloth.
The steward handed the two wooden wheels to Zhou Jun and asked, "Look at it, young man. Are you satisfied?"
Zhou Jun took it over, checked it over and over, nodded and said, "Very good, that's it."
After settling the fee, Zhou Jun hung the two wooden wheels on his horse, and then rushed towards Shengyefang.
When he arrived at the entrance of Shengyefang, Zhou Jun found a wine shop and bought two bottles of shochu.
Zhou Jun, who didn't even have time to eat lunch, stored the horse in the stable, carried the two heavy wooden wheels on his back, and the two bottles of wine on his waist. Under the surprised gaze of the guards, he trudged towards Pang.
Go to the house.
After finally reaching the gate of Pang Gong's mansion, Zhou Jun unloaded the two wooden wheels he was carrying on his back to the ground, rubbed his sore waist, grinned and let out two sounds of pain.
The old servant Yu Fu recognized Zhou Jun at a glance. Seeing his appearance, he couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Langjun, look at your attitude, has Nu Yalang changed his profession to be a carpenter?"
Zhou Jun waved his hand, first drank the two pots of soju from his waist, and handed them to Yu Fu.
Yu Fu took the soju, opened the seal and smelled it, and then took a satisfied sip.
Zhou Jun sat on the ground and watched Yu Fu drink half the pot of shaochen, and then he said, "Someone brought something that can help Mr. Pang on his trip."
Yu Fu was stunned, looked at the two wooden wheels on the ground, and asked, "Is this what you are talking about?"
Zhou Jun: "Exactly."
Yu Fu looked confused.
Zhou Jun: "Pang Gong has inconvenient legs and feet. He usually travels in a cart. If he wants to move, he will call his servants to push the cart."
"If your servant is slow to push the cart, or if you push him in the wrong direction, you will annoy Mr. Pang."
After hearing this, Yu Fu nodded and said: "Yes, the carriage is not like legs and feet. It can only be pushed by others, so there is a lot of inconvenience."
Zhou Jun pointed to the two wooden wheels on the ground and said: "If you install this thing on the wheel, Pang Gong can move the wheel as he pleases without having to borrow other people's hands."
Yu Fu opened his eyes wide with surprise on his face.
The wheelchair in ancient times, also called a four-wheeler, was actually four wheels installed under a chair.
Under normal circumstances, disabled people in wheelchairs have to rely on others to push them around in order to move around.
There are also people who put a wheelchair together with livestock such as donkeys and mules, turning it into a simple animal-powered vehicle.
The actual emergence of self-operated wheelchairs can be traced back to Europe in the 16th century.
Zhou Jun made some simple improvements on the basis of the wheel carriage of the Tang Dynasty. Two wooden wheels with fixed axes were used as hand push hoops, which were installed on the outside of the rear wheel of the carriage. Cloth strips were wrapped around the wheel hoops.
Easy for users to hold.
The user of the chakra can grasp the two wooden push rings and push the chakra forward without relying on the strength of others.
After Yu Fu understood Zhou Jun's explanation, he put down the wine bottle in his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Young gentleman, please wait here for a moment."
After saying that, Yu Fu turned around and ran into the mansion.
The following period of time was extremely difficult for Zhou Jun.
What if Mr. Pang doesn’t like this self-operated wheelchair and just lets him go home?
Feeling uneasy, Zhou Jun waited for a long time and finally saw Yu Fu coming back.
Yu Fu looked deeply at Zhou Jun, then bowed and said: "Pang Gong invites the young man to come into the house for a talk."
