Chapter 16: The Stuff of the Wise
In the early morning of the second day, as soon as it was dawn, Lin Tian was woken up by the noise outside the tent, Lin Tian walked out of the tent and saw that Badr was getting dressed, Lin Tian walked over and looked at the Wuheng people who were busy on the side and said to Badr: "What are you doing here?" ”
"Oh, you're awake, you slept late yesterday, and I'm going to wake you up when I'm gone! You said they, they are assembling the horse-drawn cart, and they will go back to Wuheng City to pull the goods you need to Daliang Mountain.
"Why is this carriage so big on wheels, and it is paved with heavy snow, is this carriage easy to walk?"
"Isn't this big wheel just for walking on the snow?"
Lin Tian had a wit, "I have a good way to make this horse-drawn cart run unimpeded in this snow and run fast." Badr gave Lin Tian a blank look, "bragging". Lin Tian was about to defend when Wu Yao walked over, "Hey, what are you two doing here, everything is packed?" We're about to go. ”
"It's all packed, cousin, you came just in time, just now Lin Tian bragged to me that he could make this horse-drawn cart run fast, do you think it's possible?"
"What's impossible, Lin Tian, I'm curious, what can you do." Badr was laughing just now when he was suddenly slapped in the face by Wu Yao, with an extremely strange expression, a bitter gourd face. The heart said: You don't know yourself, you still believe in him, where did you get the courage, is it just to slap me in the face? Hey, hey, you're my cousin... Cousin, is it really good to help outsiders slap me in the face? You've only met this kid once since you've helped outsiders so quickly, okay?
In just a few seconds, Badr choreographed his cousin several times in his heart, and he was jealous of slapping his cousin in the face for the sake of the boy who had only seen him once. "Yes, Lin Tian, what can you do, let's listen to it, don't you just listen to a joke", Badr said sourly on the side.
Lin Tian and Wu Yao ignored Badr's yin and yang strange words. Lin Tian looked at Wu Yao and said to the other party with a smile: "This method can be taught to you, but I have one condition, after teaching you, I hope you will send this batch of horse-drawn carts to the Li people, you know, my Li family has a small business, and we need these goods, without these horse-drawn carts, we are too slow." ”
Badr, who was ignored, immediately stood up, thinking that his cousin would definitely not agree to this shameless request, and that he could teach him a lesson without his cousin's words, which was whimsical. "What are you kidding, more than 20 horse-drawn carts, should you be 20 catties of iron, just send it when you say it."
"Delivered."
"Ahh Cousin, were you talking just now? ”
Badr asked Wu Yao with questions, but Wu Yao Ren ignored him, stared at Lin Tian and said with a smile: "If you can really say that let the horse-drawn carts run fast, it doesn't hurt to give these horse-drawn carts to the Li clan." ”
"Okay, that's a deal. You come with me, and I'll change the car. ”
Lin Tian was very happy at this time, he was full of confidence, believing that his request would be granted, since Wu Yao's attitude towards him had changed today, Lin Tian knew that she understood the importance of the Li clan. I just don't know if she thought of it herself, or if the old patriarch told her, if she thought of it herself, then she should be a good heir to Wuheng.
The most unhappy person at the scene was Badr, full of bitterness. I thought that my cousin would sternly refuse, telling Lin Tian that this was whimsical, but I didn't expect to be slapped in the face by my cousin again. It's impossible, my cousin can't like him so quickly, more than 20 horse-drawn carts, just send them, and I don't feel distressed at all. By the way, my cousin said that he could make the car run fast, so he would send him, but my cousin was going to promise him first, and he would make a big fool of him if he couldn't finish it, yes, it must be so. Badr stood alone and carefully pondered his cousin's thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt as he thought, so he ran over to find Lin Tian to see how Lin Tian made a fool of himself.
It didn't take long for Lin Tian to convert the horse-drawn cart into the shape of the sleigh in his memory, although it was a little crude, but it could basically realize the function of the sleigh. Badr and Wu Yao looked at the horse-drawn cart that had dropped its wheels and changed to the shape of a sleigh, their faces full of questions. Seeing the suspicious eyes of the two, Lin Tian didn't intend to explain, but planned to speak with facts. "Let's go, let's go to an open place and try the effect", Lin Tian led the horse and beckoned the two of them to walk into the distance.
"Well, what I said is true, Miss Wu Yao, these two dozen sleds belong to our Li clan."
Lin Tian drove the sleigh around and walked to the two of them and said to Wu Yao with a smile. Wu Yao and Badr were dumbfounded by this scene, but fortunately, Wu Yao heard Lin Tian speak and came back to his senses. However, Ren wondered: "How did you make them run so fast, and why do you call me Wu... Miss Yao, this thing is called a sled, is that your name? ”
"If you ask such a question, I'll answer it simply. Calling you Miss is the honorific title for a beautiful woman in my hometown, and the sleigh is what I call this means of transport, as for why it runs so fast? It's not difficult, the snow is as smooth as the ice, and we can glide on the ice because the ice is hard and can bear our weight. The cedar is soft, for example, if I am stepping on the snow now, my feet are very deep, what if I lie flat on the snow? You'll see if I'm just a little bit trapped. For the same weight, snow has different capacity. Now you can see it, right? ”
Lin Tian was afraid that they wouldn't understand, and he didn't say anything about gravity friction or anything, so he could only set an example and let them experience it themselves.
Even so, the two of them were very confused, and they didn't know why, they didn't pay attention to the hometown that Lin Tian said before, after all, in Dongyi, there was no such title. Badr thought about it for a while, and still couldn't figure it out after going to the snow and doing it a few times. "Forget it, forget it, I can't figure out these questions, you smart people's things, it's so hard to understand."
"Wu Yao, I haven't given up yet, I don't know what I'm still thinking after watching Badr's demonstrations a few times, until the old patriarch came over and shouted that everyone was ready to go, and they were ready to go.
Before leaving, the old patriarch instructed Badr: "You must protect Lin Xiaoyou's safety along the way, and you must also return safely." ”
"Got it, old patriarch, I will," Badr said to the old patriarch with a smile.
The old patriarch who had instructed Badr smiled at Lin Tian and said, "The sleigh you tinkered with is very good, you smart people just have a lot of ideas." ”
"No... No, it's just that you usually don't have anything to do and mess around, Wu Patriarch, I think your horse-drawn carriage is better to call it a carriage, what do you think? ”
"The carriage... Carriage... Carriage", the old patriarch read it a few times, "Indeed, the carriage is more smooth than the carriage, you have good knowledge, do the Li people have a good teacher?" ”
"Our Li tribe has an old doctor who has traveled to the southern countries, and he knows a lot, and I also learned from him."
"Yes, yes, no wonder the Li people can produce talents like you, it seems that the Li people have a lot of talents, and it is impossible for the Li people to be strong or not! Hahaha... Young people are the future! ”
"Thank you, Patriarch Wu, then we'll go first."
"Go ahead, it's easy to go all the way," the old patriarch waved his hand. The old patriarch was a little uneasy in his heart at this time: I don't know if the strength of the Li clan is a blessing or a curse, if the Li clan has so many talents like Lin Tian, then the Li clan will definitely be extremely strong in the future, or one day it will be an enemy of Wuheng.
