Chapter 2 Is It Necessary to Have a Daughter-in-law?
To be honest, Lin Zhuowen doesn't mind if he can travel with a laptop, where to play games is not playing? But the premise is that there must be electricity here......
......
Alain's family is very simple and kind, and they can see that Lin Zhuowen is not a person who can hunt or farm, so they didn't let him do anything, so they raised him for three months in vain, until Lin Zhuowen was embarrassed and began to wander around the village, wanting to find something to do for himself, but in fact, he was still bored, if he could play games, I believe he would never take the initiative to find something to do.
Lin Zhuowen first enthusiastically offered to help the sixty-year-old village chief chop wood, but the result was very ashamed of himself, and he worked hard all day, got a blood blister, only cut a few small branches, and cut the axe because of the use of the axe.
Lin Zhuowen offered to help Uncle Li hoe the ground, but he was quickly stopped by Uncle Li, not that Uncle Li was afraid that he would be tired, but if he didn't stop it, the crops would be hoeed by him.
Lin Zhuowen wanted to go into the mountains to hunt with the village boys, but he only scared away the beast and sprained his leg, and the boys had to take care of him.
Lin Zhuowen also wanted to help carry water, but it was too embarrassing for his small body, half a bucket of water staggered all the way, and he fell before he got home, and it didn't matter if the water was spilled, even the bucket was broken by him.
......
In short, Lin Zhuowen quickly proved with scientific methods that he was a person who was useless without the computer, and he didn't want to help others, so he was completely idle, and he didn't know what to do all day, which made him miss the days before the time travel even more, and now he is even dreaming of playing games......
Lin Zhuowen, a twenty-four-year-old young man, finally fell into a willingness to play with a dozen or so seven or eight-year-old children in the village, for no other reason, because the children were playing games, although it was not a computer game, but soon he once again confirmed his incompetence, the children in the mountains played with some things that climbed and rolled on the trees and went into the water, Lin Zhuowen is such an adult that he can't even compare with children, it's really an uncle and aunt who can't stand it, so for the sake of face, he can only play his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and correct the "wrong play" of these children For this reason, he "invented" backgammon, flying chess, checkers, and adventure chess, if it weren't for the fact that no one in the village was literate, he also wanted to drum up poker mahjong, which was the evergreen in the game for all ages.
These new games have simple rules and are very interesting to play, and they soon spread in the village, not only children like to play, but even some young people like it, such as Alain is particularly fascinated by adventure chess, and she also makes a lot of maps, but because the village people are illiterate, the events on the map are illustrated by pictures, and some events are too abstract to be explained by the map designer to know what they mean.
Lin Zhuowen is naturally a veteran of these games, a group of little children in the village were killed by him obediently, and he was willing to recognize him as the boss, he seemed to have become the king of children in the village, and he was quite energetic to punch Nanshan Nursing Home and kick Beihai Kindergarten......
Lin Zhuowen also discovered his own position, he seemed to be too embarrassed by the traverser, he didn't think that his knowledge of melon seeds was his greatest wealth after crossing for so long, Lin Zhuowen decided to change his career here as an inventor, a profession that many traversers will also work with.
I have to say that Lin Zhuowen's extensive knowledge of the long-term mixed network played a great role at this time, and Lin Zhuowen first "invented" The crossbow, the crossbow is similar to the bow, and the range of the same material is generally slightly smaller than the bow, but the crossbow can be loaded with crossbow arrows in advance, and there is no need to pull the string when aiming, so it has a lot of benefits over the bow in terms of stability and accuracy, and it is easier to master than the bow, of course, for the hunters in the mountains, there is also the most important point, under the movement, because the crossbow arrows are loaded in advance, there is no need to pull the bow, as long as you are careful, you can almost completely not make a movement, and you can dive closer to the prey to launch an attack, if it is not for the blacksmith craftsmanship in the village that does not meet the requirements, Lin Zhuowen even wants to put the beaded crossbow arrows"Invented" out.
Lin Zhuowen invented a kind of "plow", the people in the village have heard of the "plow", it is said that it is very convenient to cultivate, but the village is too remote, cattle and horses can not come in at all, there is no livestock to pull the plow, it is useless to plow, but Lin Zhuowen's plow design is more scientific and reasonable, it is more labor-saving to use, only two adults can pull, Lin Zhuowen named it "human plow", the emergence of human plough has greatly improved the cultivation efficiency of the village, for which the village also intends to open up a few more land.
Lin Zhuowen for the convenience of the village people's life, but also "invented" tap water, of course, this tap water is different from the current tap water, in fact, a lot of bamboo poles are hollowed out and connected together from the hot springs to the village, and then set up a water wheel on the hot spring, arrange people to step on the water wheel every day, and naturally send the water to the village, the village people only need to come to the bamboo pole mouth to connect the water, which is convenient and labor-saving, of course, when the field needs to be irrigated, it can also extend the pipeline to the field.
The new and more efficient loom was also "invented" by Lin Zhuowen, but after all, it was still linen cloth, and Lin Zhuowen had been asking the village guys to pay attention to whether there was anything similar to silkworms when they went out hunting.
......
In any case, Lin Zhuowen's "inventions" have greatly improved the living and working conditions in the village, and the people in the village have begun to accept his specialness.
Lin Zhuowen seems to have become a wise man in the village, the villagers encountered some problems, and began to ask Lin Zhuowen for advice, Lin Zhuowen is also idle and bored, and he tries his best to help find a way to solve it, so that his status is even more transcendent, and the village began to privately say that he is a person who has great wisdom to ask, and many little women will often come to see him by asking various questions, but these women are obviously afraid of stumping him and embarrassing him, and asking some questions that stupid pigs know, which makes Lin Zhuowen very depressed, does he look stupider than a pig?
There is also Alan among these women, which makes Lin Zhuowen feel that even if the women in the mountains are beautiful, they are also in the mountains, and the narrowness of their vision and knowledge fundamentally determines their way of thinking, but in any case, in this place where there are no computer games to play, it is always a good thing to have these women around him, which makes him a little proud, at least he seems to have a charm aura that travels through the crowd.
Time goes on, and sometimes Lin Zhuowen also thinks, is he just living like this here, or should he go outside for a walk? But here is surrounded by mountains, and it is not easy to get out, at least the people in the village directly tell him that he will never be able to get out with his physical qualities, and judging from the civilization of this world, there should be no electricity outside, and he still can't finish the computer game when he goes out, which makes him seem very lonely sometimes, and he always feels that he has been abandoned by God, although he has never believed in God.
It is said that every traverser has a mission, Lin Zhuowen felt that his mission should be to drive the development of science and technology in this world, he decided to start from Ganquan Village, in fact, he was not interested in this mission, but he was too boring, he didn't have to participate in any production labor, so he had a lot of time, he could tinker with things to his heart's content, and the craftsmen in the village would try their best to cooperate with him because of his transcendent status, so he "invented" again There are many things, ranging from life, work to entertainment, such as a grain huller that can be cranked by hand, a rocking chair that can lie down and enjoy the coolness, and a Rubik's Cube for children to play......
Lin Zhuowen even made a steam engine, but it was obviously not very successful, the power was not large, I originally wanted to use it instead of manpower to drive the water wheel, but the result could only play an auxiliary role, but even this greatly reduced the workload of the water wheel, and he also combined it with the human plow, the same power is not enough, it can only play an auxiliary role in reducing labor consumption, even so, Lin Zhuowen was almost regarded as a god by the villagers.
It is worth saying that the people of Ganquan Village firmly believe that immortals exist, that is, the kind of immortals who can fly around in the sky to call for wind and rain, because it is said that the older generation in the village has seen immortals with their own eyes, and Lin Zhuowen scoffed at this, it must be some old foolish guy who is dizzy and missees or talks nonsense.
Lin Zhuowen roughly explained the working principle of the steam engine, which made the villagers believe that he was not a god, but there was one who did not believe Lin Zhuowen's words, that is, Alan, because she had seen Lin Zhuowen not use flint, only a strange little thing can turn fire into fire, not even firewood, she didn't know that there was a kind of thing called "lighter" on the earth, so she firmly believed that Lin Zhuowen was an immortal, but he didn't want people to know.
Lin Zhuowen even made gunpowder, in fact, it was also a coincidence, he found sulfur by the hot spring very coincidentally, combined with the classic gunpowder formula on the earth, it didn't take much effort to get it out, of course, the quality of this gunpowder must be very poor, the nitrate is used in the corner of the wall and the soil under the root of the house, but it is still possible to make a few firecrackers, this is a real firecracker, the shell is a piece of bamboo.
A few days after the successful development of firecrackers, it happened to be Alain's eighteenth birthday, which also marks Alain's adulthood, from this day you can talk about marriage, this is the tradition of Ganquan Village, if you already have a favorite object, even on the birthday you can get married, so the eighteenth birthday of the people of Ganquan Village is an important day, whenever someone in the village has an eighteenth birthday, the men, women and children in the village will be invited to come over and have a good time.
Lin Zhuowen and Alan have a good relationship, and they don't have anything to give her, so they put a few firecrackers on her birthday, I don't want the effect of this firecracker to be surprisingly good, and then explode in the air after flying out of more than ten meters high, the sound is huge, and it hurts people's ears, and many children are scared to cry, even adults almost think that the mountain god is angry, making the whole scene noisy, Alan looked at Lin Zhuowen's gaze was even more colorful, and he directly threw the flower ball to Lin Zhuowen on the spot.
Throwing flower balls is the way for women in Ganquan Village to choose their partners, if there is a woman in Ganquan Village who is going to become an adult, parents will make a cloth ball embroidered on the surface in advance, called a flower ball, and hand over the flower ball to the woman on the day of the woman's adulthood, indicating that she has the right to choose her husband from today onwards, and the woman will throw the flower ball to whoever means that she has taken a fancy to the other party and is willing to form a lifelong partner with the other party.
Although Lin Zhuowen has been in Ganquan Village for almost a year, he still doesn't know much about these traditions, and he caught the flower ball in a daze and didn't know what it meant, until everyone applauded and celebrated, and then he even guessed and understood, but it was too late, the woman threw out the flower ball, if the man didn't want to, he couldn't pick it up, and if he did, it meant that the man was also willing, and he couldn't regret it anymore.
