Grandpa Mo seemed to be interested as well. He put down the fishing rod and looked at Wei Jingshu calmly: "What are you going to use to pull the cart? A cow? A donkey? Or a dog?"
"I've heard of this. In the Hongjiang area, there's snow all year round, and some people raise dogs to pull carts. Although there's no snow here, it doesn't hurt to give it a try."
Wei Jingshu was extremely confused. She had only said one sentence, so why did Grandpa Mo say so much? She blinked, looked up in vain, swallowed her saliva, and then stammered: "It doesn't need any animal to pull it. It only needs a driving device to provide power to push the cart, and the cart can move."
"Sister Shu, are you kidding me?" Uncle Mo stared at Wei Jingshu, "You don't want any animals, you just walk by yourself? Your uncle Mo has lived for most of his life, traveled all over the country, but he has never heard of this thing you are talking about."
He waved his hands and shook his head: "You'd better stop making fun of me, go back and look after your sister-in-law."
Being questioned, Wei Jingshu was not annoyed, and pointed at the carriage and begged: "Uncle Mo, why don't you give me the drawings of this car, and I will build one for you."
Seeing Wei Jingshu's persistence and the solemnity on her face, Uncle Mo really found something wrong, frowned and asked: "Are you serious?"
Wei Jingshu nodded seriously: "Uncle Mo, just give it to me, I promise to build one for you."
She raised her hand as if to swear.
"Hey." Grandpa Mo glared at Wei Jingshu, "If you like it, I'll give it to you. Don't swear carelessly, or you'll be punished by God if you can't do it."
Wei Jingshu smiled foolishly: "Grandpa Mo, I know, I will never swear carelessly next time."
"Okay." Grandpa Mo still didn't take Wei Jingshu's words seriously, but still stood up, "Come with me to get the blueprint."
The request was agreed, Wei Jingshu jumped on the carriage happily, and soon arrived at Grandpa Mo's residence.
The furnishings in Grandpa Mo's house are all made of fine wood, but the styles are niche and not eye-catching. In
his house, there are all kinds of pens, inkstones, and paper. In a room that has been set aside, there are two full shelves, and there are incense sticks lit everywhere to repel insects and prevent moths. The whole house has a fragrance, but it is not pungent.
Grandpa Mo pulled out a chair for Wei Jingshu, and he bent over the desk to draw, thinking of Wei Jingshu's words from time to time. Although he felt that it was unconventional and shocking, his curiosity was aroused in his imagination again and again.
"Sister Shu, can you really build a car like the one you're talking about?"
"Yes." Wei Jingshu nodded, "but it's a bit troublesome."
Building a car here naturally doesn't require too sophisticated technology. It's just for transportation and pulling things, and the body doesn't need to be very rigid. It can be made of wood and processed by the processing device in her mecha, but the difficulty lies in the energy aspect.
She hasn't tried it yet, so she doesn't know how much energy is needed to drive a car, and she doesn't know how much energy can be found on the mountain next to Yuan Village.
Once the car is built, it will take energy to start the machines in the mecha. If there is little energy, I'm afraid that even the car can't be built.
Although she has many concerns, Wei Jingshu still stares at the paper in Mr. Mo's hand with great interest. Anyway,
this car can be built, it depends on whether it needs something to pull it.
Mr. Mo is very interested, but after thinking about it for a while, he still thinks Wei Jingshu's idea is incredible, so he asked two questions and stopped asking.
He concentrated on finishing the drawing, and after the drawing dried, he handed it over: "Take the drawing. This car is one of the best in the entire Dongling Kingdom. Fortunately, I met you and was willing to give you the drawing."
After just a few words, Grandpa Mo started to brag. Wei Jingshu listened carefully and took a look at the drawings. The details on it were well handled and clearly marked. Looking at the appearance, the proportions and structure were all top-notch, so she said, "This thing of Grandpa Mo is really excellent."
Her innocence made Grandpa Mo a little embarrassed, and he coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
It was at this moment that Wei Jingshu remembered that Grandpa Mo still had a jade pendant with her. While giving the jade pendant, she asked, "Grandpa Mo, can you take me to the village chief's house?"
Grandpa Mo quickly packed up the things on the table and said, "I have nothing to do, so I can go with you."
The village chief's house is located in the center of the village. There are a few scattered towering trees in front of the door, which can provide some shade in the summer without overly blocking the sunlight entering the house.
After passing the ancient trees, there is a courtyard surrounded by a fence. The house in the middle is the largest. At this time, the door is open, and the village chief is sitting on the threshold, leaning against the door, holding a dry pipe in his hand, smoking while looking at the sky, muttering something.
Seeing someone coming to his house from afar, the village chief shouted into the house: "Mother, bring out two stools." He shook the cigarette holder clean, put the pipe against the wall, and came to greet him.
"Lao Mo, why are you here? Is there not enough land for raising horses? I'll find someone to go with you and expand it."
After saying that, he saw Wei Jingshu next to him. The
Wei Jingshu he saw in the past was crazy. Although Li Rou was looking after her, no matter how clean she was dressed, she would run outside and her face would disappear. It took him a long time to recognize that it was Wei Jingshu.
Grandpa Mo laughed immediately: "I said you are not as good as me. I knew it was Sister Shu when I saw her."
The village chief also laughed: "I heard that Sister Shu was well a few days ago. I always wanted to go and see her, but I didn't have the time. Now it's good. I have fulfilled my wish."
After saying so, the village chief's wife also brought her sixteen-year-old daughter to move out the table and chairs, and placed three cups of water on the table.
The three of them sat down one after another, and Wei Jingshu quietly held the teacup and listened to the two elders talking about Grandpa Mo's horse farm. After the two finished talking and asked her, she spoke.
"I came here this time to ask the village chief to make the decision to separate me, my sister-in-law, and my younger brothers and sisters from the family."
The village chief paused and stretched out his hand to the side. The village chief's wife calmly handed him the pipe and immediately got up and went into the house.
The village chief rolled up the withered yellow tobacco leaves and stuffed them into his pipe. He lit it and took two deep puffs. After a while of puffing out smoke, he said, "Separation is not a trivial matter. Sister Shu, have you thought about it?"
Uncle Mo also looked at Wei Jingshu, with surprise in his eyes, as if he didn't expect that she came to the village chief to separate the family.
Meeting the gazes of the two, Wei Jingshu nodded calmly and firmly in response: "I have thought it through."
The village chief's face was still solemn. The last separation of the family in Yuan Village was more than ten years ago. If it happens again now, they must be extremely cautious.
"Tell me first, why do you want to separate the family?"
The village chief's face was quite solemn.
"My grandma is not good to us." This is known to everyone in the village, and the village chief also knows it well. He nodded, but--
"This reason is not enough, do you have any other?"
