21. Chapter 21

Ding Chen's every move touches the hearts of people all over the world...... That's! But it was no problem to take the hearts of a few people on the shore - even though there was only one girl there. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

So when everyone saw Ding Chen raise the knife in his hand and wave it, and then suddenly disappeared, several people on the shore were startled, Zheng Yu, Liu Chi, and the Duke all turned their heads to look at Li Xiang, and Ye Dai had already shouted, "Pull him back." ”

So Ding Chen soon reappeared on the water with a disgraced face. Of course, this adjective is not quite accurate here, because he actually has no ash or dirt on his face, only the constant dripping river water, and some weeds.

The incident happened suddenly just now, and everyone was unprepared, so when they saw that Ding Chen had an accident, they subconsciously decided to pull people back first.

At this time, several people had already reacted, and Li Xiang shouted: "Don't pull it, he just fell into the river." ”

He was right, the reason why Ding Chen suddenly fell into the water just now was not because the horse stumbled, but because he finally walked to the real river, and then raised the knife used to explore the way in order to pretend to be forced, and strode into the river.

After everyone stopped pulling the rope, Ding Chen finally stood firm, he wiped his face, took off a bunch of aquatic plants hanging on it, and heard someone shouting behind him: "How are you?" ”

"I'm fine." Ding Chen replied and motioned for them to continue to put the rope.

This time with preparation, he put away the black knife and swam directly, which was more labor-saving than wading through the water just now.

Due to heavy rainfall, the amount of water in the river increased rapidly, and a large amount of sediment was mixed in from the upper reaches, so the river was very turbid. Ding Chen didn't have diving glasses, and he didn't want to get eye disease, so he could only take the risk of leaning next to the waterwheel and groping with his hands. Fortunately, the location of the broken waterwheel was very shallow under the water, and the location was quickly found.

After touching a few handfuls, Ding Chen was convinced that he didn't have the ability of the old drivers to touch the parts to determine the whole. His sense of touch is fine, but obviously he is not familiar with the structure of the waterwheel, and in this case, it is best to see it with his eyes.

He held the waterwheel with both hands, turned to the upstream direction of the waterwheel with difficulty, and used his body to block the damaged position. The water flowed in a small whirlpool on his chest, and a wheel was revealed, a small part, but enough for him to make up for it.

With the combination of vision and tactile sense, and the structure of other parts of the waterwheel, he finally figured out the cause of the failure.

Ye Dai and Li Xiang stood side by side on the shore, watching Ding Chen's busy up and down in the water, both a little inexplicable.

Ye Dai stomped her feet irritably, splashing a splash, she looked at her feet in surprise, and asked Li Xiang, "Let's go forward?" ”

She was pretty sure she hadn't gone into the water, but by this time the river had already filled her shoes. It's just that this time, they all changed into straw sandals, which were not waterproof in the first place, and they were soaked in the rain a long time ago, so there was no obvious feeling.

"The river is rising again." Li Xiang replied with a calm face, it was obvious that they were not moving, it was the river that moved, which made him feel very bad.

Ye Dai shook his head and said, "He's too slow, I'll go over." ”

Li Xiang nodded, and then saw that Ding Chen had already turned around and swam back. "Pull him back." Li Xiang said without hesitation. Being pulled back is certainly not as comfortable as swimming back, but it is obviously faster.

It's a pity that the three people next to him are not strong enough, and they didn't pull together, and the "Duke" shouted: "He tied the rope to something." ”

Li Xiang frowned, and saw that Ding Chen had swam to the shallow water, and was pulling the rope with his hand to walk this way.

Soon Ding Chen came to the front of several people, and he shouted: "The underwater iron cylinder was damaged by something and stuck on the bracket, we have to get it down." ”

There is no bamboo here in the apartment, at least not the thick bamboo in the south, so the iron cylinders used to scoop water on the waterwheel are iron cylinders, which have been rusted and even leaked after switching between water and sunlight for a long time. It's just that the waterwheel is not a precision machine, and the ordinary degree of water leakage can be withstanded, so Dad didn't let people replace the iron cylinder.

Now it looks like something was washed down by the river and hit the impeller, destroying an iron cylinder. The deformed barrel floated after falling into the water, and was again caught in the gap between the other cylinder and the waterwheel support, and then the hollow part was flattened and stuck there.

In Ding Chen's opinion, this stuck falcon is simply tailor-made for the water wheel, if no one deals with it, it can definitely be stuck until the sky is old.

"I'll take a look." Ye Dai listened to Ding Chen's description and immediately felt a headache, she was not good at brain supplementation, so although Ding Chen had already said it very carefully, she was sure that seeing was believing.

Ding Chen waved his hand, "I tied the rope to the broken iron cylinder, but it is now squeezed by the impeller, so it can't be pulled, I'll go back in a while, use the knife to make a gap, you take the opportunity to pull it out." ”

Several people glanced at each other, and Li Xiang looked at Ye Dai, "Can it work?" ”

"I'll go with him." Ye Dai took a deep breath, "If you look at the circle with your hands, you can pull hard." ”

It's certainly not a good idea to shout in the middle of a rushing river, and even if you shout in your throat, no one will hear you. So you can only rely on visual signals. In fact, the rain has not stopped until now, but it has decreased a lot, and the rain has blocked the view, and it is impossible to see the middle of the river when standing on the shore. Fortunately, the position of the waterwheel is relatively close, and if Ye Dai's movements are big enough, it can still be seen clearly.

The two of them returned to the waterwheel, and Ye Dai did not simply listen to Ding Chen's judgment, but touched it again. With Ding Chen's previous description, she already had an image in her heart, and it was easy for her brain to make up, and she quickly determined that Ding Chen was right.

Ye Dai was not surprised that Ding Chen was able to accurately judge the fault location so quickly and propose a solution, this is not a complicated failure, as long as it requires some common sense and normal logical thinking ability. Many people are helpless about simple failures, in fact, it is not that they are not able to solve them, but they are just afraid of difficulties.

So in her opinion, Ding Chen is very smart, and he also has a strong confidence in his own ability, so he dares to try anything, in other words, frustration education is not enough, and the ignorant are fearless.

Since it was decided to solve the problem according to Ding Chen's plan, there was nothing to discuss, Ding Chen stood next to the waterwheel to prepare for assistance, and Ye Dai climbed onto the support of the waterwheel to direct the people on the shore.

Seeing Ye Dai waving his arms as planned, Li Xiang began to pull the rope with several other people. The waterwheels run along the river, and they can't keep their power straight when they stand on the bank, so they need extra work.

As Ding Chen estimated, the first force failed to achieve the goal, the waterwheel impeller was pushed by the torrent of the river and pressed tightly on the iron cylinder, and the strength of Li Xiang and others was far from enough to compete with nature.

At this time, he was about to use the holy sword of physics, so Ding Chen took out the black knife, used the waterwheel bracket as a fulcrum, and used the black knife as a crowbar, ready to pry the earth...... Uh, no, it's a waterwheel.

Because of the poor connection, of course, the main reason is that Ding Chen couldn't see Ye Dai's movements at any time when he stood on the waterwheel, and he couldn't hear her shouting in the noise, so he could only try his luck with his feelings to cooperate with the shore, so the first few attempts failed.

It is said that two authors who have no connection at all can write exactly the same work if they type in enough words. From this point of view, it is not difficult for Ding Chen, Li Xiang and others to cooperate with each other once, as long as they try enough times.

In fact, Ding Chen only tried it for the fourth time, and he cooperated with Li Xiang and others pulling the rope. As Ding Chen exerted his strength, the impeller moved a little distance in reverse under the lever of the black knife, and then the iron cylinder, which had been squeezed into the middle and two ends thick, took advantage of this opportunity to be dragged out by the rope.

Lost the barrel that was stuck in the impeller and the bracket. The impeller immediately rotated under the strong water pressure, Ding Chen could no longer support it, and hurriedly withdrew the black knife, watching the impeller rotate and slide in front of him, knocking heavily on the water surface, splashing a splash.

Ding Chen subconsciously took a step back, held on to the wooden stand beside him, and inserted the black knife back into the scabbard behind him with his backhand. Then he raised his head and was about to admire the fruits of his labor, but at this time he faintly heard Ye Dai's exclamation. At the same time, there was a tooth-aching creaking sound, which even the roaring river could not contain.

Ding Chen was taken aback, looked in the direction where the sound came from, and just in time to see the huge waterwheel impeller slowly falling.
