"Don't worry! We'll definitely give it back to you when we're done using it. If that doesn't work, I can give you some money."
"Borrow a generator and hammer drill?"
"I do, but why did you borrow that thing?"
"I can't explain this at the moment. Anyway, we need it urgently. Can you, Uncle Guo?"
"this....."
He looked a little confused: "Young man, those are not my personal things. They are property belonging to the county government. I'm afraid..."
Before he could finish speaking, I immediately said, "The Taoist priest asked me to borrow it. He needs it urgently!"
"Taoist Priest! Have you met Taoist Priest Ma?!"
I said yes, I saw him, and he asked me to come to you to get something. He also said that as long as I mention his name, you will definitely give it to me.
After hearing what I said, Guo Qingzhong gritted his teeth and said, "I understand! Come with me!"
He went to the east room and opened the lock. He pointed to the corner and said, "The impact drill and generator are there. I haven't touched them in more than a year. They should still work."
Just waiting for this thing to be rescued, I hurried over to take a look.
The impact drill is just an ordinary impact drill. There is nothing to say. I have used it before. The key is that the generator is very strange, similar to what Lao Fu described before.
I lifted it up with my hand. It wasn't too heavy, maybe fifty or sixty pounds. If it was too heavy, I wouldn't be able to carry it away by myself.
Those born in the 00s must have never seen this thing. Those born in the 80s and 90s should still have images of it, commonly known as "movie generators."
Movies used to be played in the countryside on a projector with a big white screen. I was deeply impressed by this thing. This kind of generator consists of three parts, an independent flat oil drum with a shrinking bracket, the generator body, and a
Distribution box in black leather box.
"Young man, do you know how to use it? If not, I will demonstrate it again."
I said yes.
I saw Lao Guo lowering the four folding legs of the fuel tank one by one, standing the fuel tank on the ground, and then connected a leather tube that came with the fuel tank to the oil inlet of the generator and clamped it with an iron clip.
Then he opened the distribution box.
There was a row of buttons in the box, one of which was the largest and rotated. Lao Guo turned left twice and inserted a light bulb with a short plug into the interface of the distribution box.
I asked what happened? The light bulb didn't light up.
He said don't panic, it hasn't started yet, just watch.
After finishing speaking, Lao Guo came over. He fumbled with the generator runner for a while, pulled out a piece of thread, and then wound the piece of thread a few times in a clockwise order. When he felt that it was almost done, he took a sip into the palm of his hand.
Foaming, pull the thread upward fiercely!
Suddenly, click, click, click!
Black smoke began to emit from the generator chimney, and the light bulb plugged into the distribution box also lit up.
"That's it, have you learned it? Just take it and remember to send it back to me when you're done using it."
"I see you haven't brought anything with you. Why don't you use a bamboo frame to carry it?"
I said yes.
He immediately found me a huge bamboo basket for holding herbs, hammer-drilled the generator's fuel tank and other things, and threw everything into the bamboo basket.
"Come on, young man, try it. It's not easy."
I squatted down and put the bamboo frame rope on my shoulders.
"Hey!"
"Hey! Get up!"
I stood up tremblingly and took two steps forward. I felt an excruciating pain from the rope on my shoulder. If I could only walk a few steps, it would be okay, but if I had to rush over mountains and ridges, I would be crushed to death.
I immediately put it down and said, "Uncle Guo, Taoist Master Ma also asked you to give me a ride."
"Ah? Let me carry it over?"
I said yes, and that's what he said, that you are capable and quick.
"Then I'll quit working in the fields? I earn 40 yuan a day."
I quickly touched my back pocket, took out two hundred yuan and handed it over and said, "Uncle Guo, here are two hundred yuan. I will compensate you for lost work time."
