152: Was it intentional or unintentional? (2nd Update)
James hurriedly said, "Chang, you are wronging me, what am I hiding from you? You're a big business partner for me."
"Don't be nervous, James, of course I believe you." Chang Xi said with a smile, in fact, he didn't believe in such words in his heart, this James was also half-truthful and half-false, and he didn't know how to die if he really believed his words.
Hearing this, James had a relieved expression, but secretly gave the person who followed him a look, and the other party was about to sneak away, but who knew that the person who followed Chang Xi was quickly blocking the direction he wanted to slip away.
"What's going on?"
Chang Xi stopped, signaling the person blocking the road to get out of the way, this is the little guy who borrowed from Xie Jin at the beginning, this person has been in charge of the tea shop affairs recently, and he also followed this time for acceptance, and he may have seen her and James go to visit John, so he also followed.
James looked at the little guy who had followed him for many years with displeasure, "What's wrong with you?"
"Sir, I have an upset stomach and want to go to the latrine."
"I thought it was a big deal, I had to say it if I wasn't comfortable," Chang Xi smiled and pointed to the little guy who borrowed from Xie Jin next to him, "You go with him, he doesn't know him well here after all......
"No, I know the ......."
When Chang Xi heard this, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but his heart was more vigilant, what does it mean to recognize the road? This is the important place of the tea brick workshop, and ordinary people are not allowed to walk around.
"After all, you're not feeling well, it's not a joke, now everyone is busy rushing to work, if something really happens to you, I'm afraid no one will find out, it's better to let people follow, this is also for the sake of your life safety." She was extremely sincere, and deliberately asked James, "You said yes, right?"
This makes James say what is good, in such a situation, can he say bad?
So he nodded, and said to his little servant, "Just listen to Chang Niangzi's arrangement, she is the master's family, and she should be worried."
The little man lowered his head slightly, and said no more refusal, and immediately led him to the latrine by the man who had blocked his way before.
Chang Xi turned around and continued to walk out, and if he wanted to visit the patient, he had to go back to the other hospital first, so nothing else happened along the way.
Because she gave the short mare to Xiao Tao to learn to ride a horse, she took the opportunity to change to a tall horse to ride, but Xie Jin jumped out to object, and the gold steward did not dare to hinder her, so this time she changed to ride a tall horse very smoothly.
And, in order to facilitate horseback riding, she changed some of her clothes to riding clothes.
Fortunately, in this rural place, she has a very good reputation, and the people in the village respect her very much, so no one jumped out to accuse her of not behaving in accordance with the norms.
With convenient transportation, the time spent in the annex has been shortened a lot.
James naturally followed on horseback, and his speed did not drop much, but when he obviously felt that his equestrian skills were not as good as a woman, his expression was a little tense, and his macho heart was hurt.
Seeing this, Chang Xi laughed.
James said, "Chang, you hurt my heart like this."
Chang Xi smiled and said without much sincerity, "Then I apologize."
James could naturally see that she was just talking casually, so he could only shrug his shoulders nonchalantly, well, he couldn't care about her so much.
The two talked and laughed and went to the guest room where John was temporarily staying, but no one was found in the room, and even the second dog did not see a human figure, Chang Xi was about to turn around and leave, but she saw a familiar silver peach blossom on the table, she squinted and was about to pick it up and take a closer look, when she heard James outside the house shouting, "Oh no, Chang, something happened-"
She didn't care about the little silver peach blossom, but immediately ran out, and sure enough, she heard the sound of a fight near the water's edge.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
She had a bad premonition in her heart, and without waiting for others, she lifted her skirt and ran over, if she remembered correctly, it was the place where Lin Yuqi experimented with hydropower, and when she discussed it with him before, he asked for herself, and she agreed to it at that time.
Although I know that his research direction is not quite right,
But she can't tell him directly about steam power too against the sky, and can only guide him to the right path step by step, so this process of trial and error is essential.
Lin Yuqi's character is flawed, when she designated the waterside to him for experiments, she told the golden steward that she couldn't let people get too close, for fear of stimulating Lin Yuqi, and it would be bad for anyone at that time, and it would be difficult to explain to the Lin family.
Although the financial steward is a lot of careful thinking and a relatively philistine, he is still very careful and conscientious, and he will definitely not smash the errands she has handed over, not to mention that the Lin family is also there, and the financial steward's arrangements will only be more careful.
When she arrived, she happened to see Lin Yuqi holding John's collar with red eyes, looking like he was going to hit him, and Lin Yuqi's personal servant was busy pulling the fist raised by his master, which did not cause trouble.
"What's going on?" This time her expression was serious.
When Lin Yuqi saw her coming, he unwillingly loosened John's collar and complained to Chang Xi, "He disturbed me."
Chang Xi stepped forward to calm Lin Yuqi's emotions for a while, and then he calmed down and was no longer so irritable and irritable.
After calming Lin Yuqi, she turned to look at John, who was helped up by James, and suddenly saw that the cloth strap he used to fix his arm was loosened, but she was more concerned about why he was here than about his injury? Chinese Net
I believe that the golden steward must have told him before that he couldn't get close to this piece, and he was going to appear here, which had to make her think more.
"John, can you tell me what's going on?"
John straightened out the cloth belt that fixed his arm, nudged away James who was holding him, signaled that he was okay, and then looked at Chang Xi with a wry smile, "I'm kind."
"Oh, tell me." Chang Xi looked interested, but her eyes were looking for the second dog, but she didn't see this kid's figure, and her heart sank suddenly.
There is no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion is needed, until now, she believes in the loyalty of Ergouzi, but the clever teenager is not as good as the old woman of the adult, so she can only go back and find Ergouzi and ask in detail.
John was a little relieved to see that Chang Xi was not angry, so he pointed to Lin Yuqi's experiment and said, "It's not right for him to do this, there is indeed motivation in the water, but it's not like this, it's ......" Speaking of this, he paused and didn't continue.
Chang Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, so there is already steam power in the West?
She remembered that she had tested James last time, and there didn't seem to be such a technology there, but James was a businessman, and it was understandable that he didn't know about the cutting-edge scientific results.
But there is no large-scale production, which means that the technology is not yet mature, but can only feel a little shadow, thinking about this, she gradually has an idea in her heart.
Lin Yuqi suddenly jumped out of the silence and looked at James with straight eyes, "You go on."
Only then did James see that there was something wrong with Lin Yuqi's character, and he took away a trace of emotion in his eyes, and he said with a very good attitude, "The power should come from the wind, don't you see that the leaves are moving when the wind blows?" If there is no power, how can the leaves move?"
Lin Yuqi was moved by his words, and then observed the leaves on the tree with his eyes fixedly, indeed when the breeze blows, the leaves will move, which shows that the wind is also a kind of power, but how to capture this ethereal wind?
Chang Xi frowned, wind power is indeed a kind of energy, and it is also an environmentally friendly clean energy, but at this stage, it is not easy to light up this technology tree, once it takes a detour, it will waste a lot of time, and it will not produce results in a short time.
She looked at John, was this missionary intentional or unintentional?
Sensing her gaze, John smiled a friendly smile that didn't let anyone see through the secrets in those blue eyes.
She was about to say something to break the impact of John's words, when she heard Lin Yuqi on the side frowning and saying, "The wind is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, it seems to be easy to capture, but it is not easy to use it as power to drive the machine to run, it is not as convenient and easy to control as water power......."
This passage stunned everyone present, thinking that he was a fool,
How did you know that he suddenly said such a coherent thing?
But in Lin Yuqi's world, he couldn't feel the reaction of outsiders, he saw him immersed in his own world, "Yes, water, easy to control, so it has to be hot water, what kind of hot water?"
Thinking of this, his expression suddenly changed again.
Chang Xi hurriedly took the opportunity to say to Lin Yuqi's servant, "Take your master back to boil hot water."
Hot water produces steam, which is the easiest source of power in this era.
Lin Yuqi touched the edge of steam power, she was about to take advantage of the situation to push him, sometimes the inspiration for science comes from that moment.
Lin Yuqi's little servant is waiting for him all the year round, and he knows his temperament too well, so he hurriedly set up Lin Yuqi who was contemplative and went back to boil hot water without saying a word.
Chang Xi watched the master and servant leave, and then turned his head to look at the stunned James and John, unlike John's thoughtful expression, James was directly stunned, he pointed to Chang Xi's brain, and then pointed to the direction where Lin Yuqi left, "Is he not normal here?"
"James, you're not kind." Chang Xi said with an accusatory face.
James laughed twice to hide his discomfort from being poked, "I have no ill will."
"Whether there is malice or not, don't say that next time, he is also my friend, and I don't want anyone to slander him behind his back." Chang Xi said with a straight face, no matter what the world thinks of Lin Yuqi, but she is a normal person here, and she will never allow anyone to insult him in front of her, this is her respect for Lin Yuqi.
James had an understanding expression, and he didn't say anything more questioning for a moment.
John stared at the direction Lin Yuqi left and said, "He's a very interesting person, I want to make friends with him."
