Chapter 187 Why Can't I
But there are no signs of snapping on these two wooden poles, they are complete.
Then the key lies in that thick square plate, which must contain some ingenious mechanism.
"How do I put it away?" Qin Yao asked curiously.
Carpenter Liu pointed to the bottom of the thick board and said, "Push the protruding wood back and it will fit."
Qin Yao did as she was told, and sure enough, she felt a thumb-sized protruding block at the bottom of the thick square board. She pressed it in with a little force, and the upright handle shrank back with a "clatter", becoming a handle about five centimeters higher than the bookcase.
"How wonderful!" Qin Yao exclaimed.
Carpenter Liu smiled proudly, "This is a unique skill passed down to me by my master, so I won't tell you the mechanism inside."
Before learning this kind of secret mechanism, one has to swear an oath in front of the master, and the master will never teach it to anyone except the last disciple.
His master chose him from among the good apprentices to be his last disciple. After teaching him these techniques, his master passed away.
Thinking of his mentor, Carpenter Liu's eyes were filled with regret: "My master passed away after teaching me the secret technique, so I only learned these few mechanisms, but I don't know where they can be used. After years of research, I have only made a chair with a backrest."
"If the master could live till now, this tractor-trailer would have been built long ago."
Qin Yao touched the small suitcase again, then reluctantly put it down and said to the melancholy Carpenter Liu:
"Maybe it's just that our place is small and we haven't seen it before."
It's not them who invented this thing. We should be more humble.
Hearing her say this, Carpenter Liu could no longer feel sad and said unhappily, "You really know how to ruin the atmosphere!"
Qin Yao shrugged and touched the small bookcase again, reluctant to let it go. "Take a rest today. Make two for me tomorrow. My eldest son and second son need them urgently for school."
"Oh, by the way, I'll go back and stay up all night tonight to re-divide the internal layout, and you can follow my drawings."
Now that it has become a suitcase, it can hold more things than just this.
For example, can we prepare a small compartment for small weapons for self-defense?
And can we bring umbrellas with us?
Fortunately, Carpenter Liu didn't know Qin Yao's thoughts, otherwise he would not be able to sleep tonight.
He could definitely stay up all night thinking about how to place an umbrella.
"Wait, you haven't told me what this box is called yet."
Seeing that Qin Yao was about to drag the small wooden box home, Carpenter Liu asked hurriedly.
Qin Yao hissed. Isn't it a bit too difficult for her to ask a person who is bad at naming to come up with a name?
The name "suitcase" is not quite appropriate because it is a book box, used to carry books, not luggage.
That's called... I can't think of it!
Qin Yao was good at throwing questions to others. She immediately smiled and said to Carpenter Liu, "You made this, so you should give it a name."
She looked at him with a pair of sincere eyes. Carpenter Liu was secretly delighted, but he still pretended not to care about the naming rights. He waved his hand modestly and said,
"This book box saves effort and can hold a lot of things. Let's call it the Divine Power Book Box?"
Qin Yao's temples twitched violently. She said "OK" on the surface, but she complained helplessly in her heart: Carpenter Liu, your naming skills are quite poor.
"The divine bookcase?"
The four children gathered around the bookcase that A-niang had brought back, poking and touching it, wondering in their hearts, could it be that it was possessed by magic?
Qin Yao poured herself a cup of hot water, drank it in one gulp, and then instructed Sanlang to close the door. She looked around, took down all the ceramic bowls on the cupboard, opened the drawer of the bookcase, and put all the heavy bowls in it.
Although the drawer is small, it can hold a lot of things. I can put twenty or thirty bowls in it.
Qin Yao weighed it and found it was quite heavy. Adding the original weight of the bookcase, which was over ten pounds, it was enough to break the back of a kid like Erlang who had never done any strength training.
Qin Yao raised her chin towards Erlang and said, "Try and see if you can lift it up."
Erlang couldn't wait to move the book box, but he couldn't move it, he really couldn't move it!
He accidentally pushed the wheel, and the bookcase spun in place.
Produced by Liu Mujiang, it is silky smooth!
Dalang was inspired by the wheel that Erlang accidentally touched. He pulled away Erlang who was still moving the boxes, and took over and grabbed the protruding handle.
As a result, with a gentle pull, a long piece came out, just above his waist.
This position can be reached by just reaching out and pulling.
However, Dalang had not thought of tipping the book box over and dragging it. He only thought of pushing the book box on flat ground.
The heavy box filled with bowls can be pushed out without any effort.
Sanlang opened his mouth in surprise and said with a firm look in his eyes: "It really has divine power!"
Qin Yao was amused by this silly child. She stepped forward and took the book box from Dalang's hand and demonstrated personally the correct way to use it. She could push it on flat ground, pull it on steep slopes, and move it around without any effort.
He asked Dalang and Erlang to try again. They went straight to the yard and ran with the book box.
The whole yard was filled with the sound of wooden wheels turning madly.
"Wow, this is so fun!" Si Niang's eyes sparkled. She stretched out her hands and asked her eldest brother to hold her and sit on it.
Da Lang glanced at Qin Yao and asked, "Can someone sit down?"
"That's not impossible." It seems that nowadays people often sit on suitcases to rest.
So, Si Niang sat on it as she wished, and happily "flew" up as her eldest and second brothers took turns pushing and pulling her.
Sanlang looked at it and wanted to sit down too. The good book box had been turned into a toy. The four brothers and sisters each "flew" around twice before reluctantly bringing the magical book box into the house.
Dalang and Erlang took out the bowls and put them back. Sanlang and Si Niang looked at their two brothers enviously.
Because they knew that this was a book box Qin Yao specially customized for her brothers.
Only those who are going to school can use it.
Sanlang was not particularly envious, because he knew that it would soon be his turn.
My mother said that when he grows up a little, she will send him to school.
So he stuck to his eldest and second brothers and asked them to leave the old ones to him.
Dalang and Erlang were also immersed in the excitement of being able to bring the magical book box to school. None of the three brothers noticed Si Niang's depressed mood.
The little girl sat blankly in front of the magical bookcase, opening and closing the top drawer with her little hands, over and over again.
Although he was young, he also had worries.
After Qin Yao finished washing up, she looked towards the main room. The three brothers were talking animatedly, totally unaware that it was late at night and time for a wash and bed.
Eh?
What happened to Si Niang?
"Si Niang, are you sleepy?" Qin Yao walked into the room with a smile and picked up the little girl curled up in front of the bookcase.
Si Niang immediately leaned her head on A Niang's shoulder, put her arms around her neck, and grumbled aggrievedly, "My brother can go to school, why can't I go?"
