"Brother, how did I win the bet?" Yan Laoer suddenly became arrogant. I won't steal or rob. I won based on my ability. What's wrong?
"All ordnance is inscribed, and there are records in the army. Do you think you can't find out if you don't admit it?"
Yan Laoer: The injustice is about to be overturned!
He took a deep breath and said: "Brother, you have to say it's ordnance, what if it's not? Have you wronged my brother?"
Yan Huaiwen subconsciously looked at the crossbow. If such a well-made instrument did not come from the military, then where did it come from? How could there be people with such superb skills among the people?
Yan Laoer took a step forward and turned the crossbow over and over.
"Look where there are any marks? No! It's passed down from my ancestors. There's nothing wrong with it. It has nothing to do with any kind of ordnance. Besides, how can I have the ability to get ordnance... Brother, tell me, you
Did you wrong me?"
Yan Huaiwen couldn't believe it and looked carefully.
It's really... an injustice to God.
"But this... this crossbow is so new, how could it be an old thing?" Yan Huaiwen found another doubt.
"It's well maintained. You are very careful. If you don't show it off all the time, how could I see it?" Yan Laoer admired himself for his quick wit.
Yan Yu also secretly gave her father a like.
Yan Huaiwen wanted to say something more, but Yan Laoer stopped him.
"Brother, I feel aggrieved. I have changed my ways, but you still don't believe me..." He lowered his head in frustration.
Yan Huaiwen: I was defeated by an army.
"It's my brother's fault, I shouldn't have made the first impression."
"Brother, please promise me something."
"What's the matter?"
"I can't read books, and I don't want to touch books anymore."
Yan Huaiwen said nothing for a long time.
Yan Laoer asked hopefully: "Is that okay, big brother?"
"No!" The decisive reply.
Yan Huaiwen said with complicated emotions: "God bless, one code will be the same, you have already admitted your mistake for wronging my brother, don't bring up the matter of not studying, it is absolutely impossible!"
"Starting from tomorrow, you will..."
"No!" Yan Laoer broke into a cold sweat. "Brother, we are about to enter the mountain. My younger brother has to lead the way. We also have to discuss with Qi Wu about modifying the frame... There are too many things, so you must not
Arrange homework for me, and when we get to Guanzhou, yes, when we get to Guanzhou, my brother can continue studying, is that okay?"
Yan Huaiwen nodded: "Yes."
…
Li Xuemei comforted him: "After all, the crossbow has passed the clear path. Haven't you always wanted to practice it? Now you can use it openly."
Yan Laoer finally accepted his fate.
Okay, let’s be a cultural person from now on.
"How did Lao Yan see the crossbow?" Yan Laoer wondered.
"You were too excited. You wanted to take it but didn't dare to take it with you. So you took the sickle and left it. You just put it here and there. Brother moved the thing and you noticed something was wrong as soon as you touched it."
"Alas!" Yan Laoer secretly blamed himself for not being cautious, but as his wife said, this crossbow can be seen in the world, hahaha!
…
The villagers who got up early found that Mr. Yan had a rare item in his hand.
It is a very compact bow.
Yan Laoer had a great time practicing.
They didn't know whether it was called a bow or a crossbow, but they could clearly see Yan Laoer's accuracy.
What's that? That's a fork!
After shooting, you have to spend a lot of time looking for arrows all over the place.
After seeing it, Village Chief Luo told each family that children were absolutely not allowed to get close to each other.
This is their third day in the mountains.
It’s not just a matter of saying that mountain roads are difficult to navigate.
The so-called mountain road has no road at all. It becomes a road because of the many people walking on it.
The Three Treasures only have four hooves, not four wheels, so they can't cover a road.
For the mules and donkeys in the village, the carriage behind them has become a heavy burden.
The ground is potholed, the road is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and there are many stones on the road, often causing cars to get stuck.
It is imperative to modify the frame.
"The space between the two wheels must be narrower so that the car can easily travel through the mountains."
"The cut boards can be increased in height, like the one Brother Yan made before. Can we add two more layers?"
"It's okay, but it's best to only add one layer, and it can't be too high, because the mules and donkeys won't be able to pull it."
…
This time the car modification was done through brainstorming.
Several people who knew how to drive got together to discuss.
After walking for such a long time, I have a rough idea of the physical strength of my mules and donkeys and how much they can pull.
"Brother Yan, how do you want to modify your ox cart?"
"Hehe!" Yan Laoer laughed before he said anything: "My house doesn't need to be changed much. Just like yours, I just add a layer on top. That's it. This time the four leg pillars are made shorter, and the bottom is just big enough for people to sit on.
If we have to go into the woods in the future, it will be too high and get in the way.
Also, it would be best if the entire upper floor could be moved down. Think about it, there are many snakes and insects in the mountains and it is difficult to live on the ground. If it could be moved down, wouldn’t it be just a bed?”
He looked at Qi Wu with expectant eyes and asked: "Brother Qi Wu, can you see if you can do it?"
When the others thought about it, they also thought it was good and looked at Qi Wu at the same time.
Also ask: "Is it possible?" "Can it be done?"
Qi Wu: Do you have any misunderstanding about my level...
"I don't know how to do it." Qi Wu said frankly and bluntly, making everyone give up: "It needs to be lifted up and down every day. How strong the wood must be to prevent it from breaking. And the car board cannot be fixed at all, it is too heavy.
"
"What if we make a bamboo bed? Put it on the roof of the car during the day and take it down when you rest." Qi Si said.
"If you can, let your parents and children sleep on it at night. There are indeed many insects in the mountains."
"Where did you see bamboo along the way?"
"Write it down for now, and we'll think about it later when we meet."
"Okay, let's modify the car first."
The Yan family's car was the first to be completed.
The soup is changed but the dressing is not changed, but it is made a little shorter, so people below can only bend down to climb up and down.
Yan Huaiwen didn't feel so comfortable getting in and out of the car.
He suspected that Tianyou did it on purpose, but he had no evidence.
Because the reasons given by Tianyou are very valid.
He said that if he goes into the forest in the future, it will be difficult to drive at a high altitude.
In order to modify the car, they stopped there for three days.
The men divided into two groups. One group went to find a tree to chop wood.
A group of people chopped, sawed and chiseled.
The work was very slow in the first two days, and everyone didn't understand how to cooperate as Yan Laoer said.
It's too tiring for Yan Laoer. After talking about this, talk to that again.
It wasn't until the third day that everyone understood that they should only do their own part of the work and not care about anything else, and the work efficiency improved.
It's still the rough style that Qi Wu is good at, even rougher than before.
The wood does not need to be polished, and the four pieces do not need to be exactly the same, as long as they can hold up.
The upper shelf is still paved with several boards, and the length is quite different.
Qi Wu is responsible for the most critical slotting and drilling.
Although it doesn't look good, it is really strong.
Although the car is smaller, it is no different from the original one.
When things are placed on top and people sit underneath, there is only the weight of the wooden shelf.
Mules and donkeys can pull.
Because it is small, the turning aisle is very flexible.
