Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

Before Gu Mingyue went to Harbin, she left two watermelons at home, which are still kept frozen in the well.

After she found out, she was worried that it might go bad.

The eldest sister-in-law immediately insulted her in a bad mood, "It won't go bad if it's left in the well for a month. You can't even hold two ounces of oil in your dog's stomach."

Gu Mingyue didn't dare to argue with her sister-in-law, as she was bound to lose the argument, so there was no point in going through the trouble.

She usually acts first and asks for permission later.

He gave Guangsheng a look and secretly told him to get the watermelon.

Guangsheng immediately understood, and looked back to make sure her mother was not there before quietly going to the well.

When the watermelon was brought over, Gu Mingyue took it quickly.

He slammed the watermelon hard against the stone platform and quickly broke it open along the crack.

When the eldest sister-in-law heard the sound, she hurried out.

Seeing the watermelon on the table that had been torn into pieces, I couldn't help but glare at her, "I guess you can't help it."

Gu Mingyue chuckled, "It's worth it if I eat it myself."

The sister-in-law ignored her and turned around to go back and continue cleaning the house.

Gu Mingyue pulled her back and forced her to sit down. "Sister-in-law, stop working for now. Try this watermelon. It's cool and sweet."

Liu Caixia could only emphasize while eating, "Just eat one, and save the other for a few days."

After saying that, he was worried that he might annoy others by being too nosy, so he added, "Eating too much watermelon can cause diarrhea."

Gu Mingyue cooperated very well. "Okay, sister-in-law, I promise, I will never cheat again."

Eating watermelon and chatting...

Gu Mingyue thought of the suspension bridge and asked, "Brother, how much do you know about Wang Bichang?"

Gu Mingwei straightened his face. He knew Mingyue would definitely ask when she came back.

However, I really don’t know much about Wang Bichang. “I heard that he is from Beijing, and I don’t know why he was transferred to our small place.

At first, everyone thought he was parachuted in just to gild his reputation and would be back soon, after all, his family didn’t come with him…”

Hearing this, Gu Mingyue interrupted her elder brother and asked, "He has always lived alone?"

Gu Mingwei was confused. "Yes, the little red building behind the commune. Remember, he lived there."

Gu Mingyue wondered, "Was the house built with money from the commune?"

"No, he built it with his own money. That's why there are rumors that he will stay here for a long time."

Seeing Gu Mingyue in deep thought, worried that she might do something out of anger, Gu Mingwei advised, "He is the president after all. You can't beat him head-on. Don't confront him head-on.

I know you're upset about the suspension bridge, but think positively. We were just trying to fix it, so it doesn't matter whether it's repaired or not."

Gu Mingwei didn't understand how the situation would develop in the future. He just thought that as long as they didn't cause trouble, Wang Bichang wouldn't be able to do anything to them.

But Gu Mingyue knew clearly that chaos was coming.

If any accident happens, the first to suffer will be Gujia Village.

Did they expect Wang Bichang to have a change of heart and not target their village?

It would be better to hope that the sun rises in the west.

She didn't explain and agreed casually, "Brother, don't worry, I know my limits. But, should I remind the villagers not to walk on the suspension bridge?"

Gu Guoqiang had been sitting nearby listening to the two people's conversation. He then said, "In fact, the current suspension bridge is not without merit."

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

Gu Guoqiang explained to Gu Mingyue, “The boss and I went to confirm that although the people sent by Wang Bichang did a sloppy job, they were probably afraid of causing trouble, so they nailed the two ropes very firmly;

The quality of the ropes is also very good. Actually, there were pulleys on both sides before, but I was worried that the villagers might try them out of curiosity, which was unsafe, so I asked the boss to remove them. "

Then he asked Gu Mingwei to fetch the pulley. "Don't underestimate this small thing. It is very durable. But it is not easy to use properly. It gets stuck easily. It needs to be modified."

Gu Mingyue took the pulley in her hand and looked at it carefully. She could roughly guess its purpose.

This device is similar to the zip lines seen in tourist attractions in later generations, but it is obviously more crude.

The sliding principle requires people to tie a belt or rope around their waist first.

Then hang one end of the rope on the pulley and slide over using the inclination of both sides.

Gu Mingyue frowned. There was no safety equipment now.

Crossing the bridge in this way is definitely more dangerous than those extreme sports.

She was a little worried. "Uncle, there isn't much room for modification on this pulley, right? And even if it doesn't get stuck after modification, it still can't eliminate the danger."

Gu Guoqiang shook his head and said, "You don't understand what I mean. I don't want to change the pulley, I want to change everything. The rope is very fixed at both ends. We can turn waste into treasure."

"Turning waste into treasure?" Gu Mingyue didn't quite understand.

Gu Guoqiang gestured with his hands to explain to her, "Your second brother can replicate this pulley. Then ask him to make two more and install them on both sides of the suspension bridge to play a balancing role.

Connect a seat or harness similar to a swing underneath, then manually pull up the pulley, alternating back and forth, so that it can move forward automatically. "

Gu Mingyue realized that this was just a simplified version of the principle of fixed pulley and movable pulley.

It turns out that the wisdom of the people should not be underestimated.

Gu Mingyue thought about the feasibility and felt that it was worth a try.

She said, "Uncle, do we need to contact the commune and ask them to arrange for professionals to come here? I just don't know if Wang Bichang will make trouble."

Gu Guoqiang laughed for no apparent reason.

Gu Mingyue was a little confused by her uncle's laughter, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

"You are a good student, but you only read rote books and lack common sense in life."

Seeing that Gu Mingyue still didn't understand, Gu Guoqiang said, "I don't deny that the technical talents you mentioned are very powerful, but the method I mentioned doesn't require looking for them. The mountain runners here can do it."

"Mountain runner?"

"Yes, mountain runners. They stay in the mountains and forests all year round and can be called walking maps of the mountains. Not only do they know what is in each area of ​​the mountains, they are also good at tracking and hunting."

At this point, Gu Guoqiang suddenly asked, "What do you think of Guan Youliang's hunting skills?"

"Ah?" Gu Mingyue didn't react for a moment to why the topic came up, and subconsciously answered, "Very impressive."

"He learned it from the mountain runner. To be more precise, he was saved by the mountain runner by chance. The mountain runner took pity on him and kindly taught him a few tricks so that he could survive in the forest. Now you understand how capable they are."

Gu Mingyue suddenly realized, "So amazing."

Gu Guoqiang said proudly, like an old kid showing off after getting candy, "How else do you think they survive in the old forest? They learned all these skills just to survive, so they are naturally more reliable than the professionals you mentioned."

Gu Mingyue's eyes lit up, thinking of the map that she couldn't understand...

He forced himself to suppress the urgency in his heart and decided to focus on the suspension bridge first.

"Uncle, are they willing to help?"

"I helped them with a small favor. I don't think they would refuse this."

Gu Mingyue gave her uncle a thumbs up in admiration. "As expected, the veteran is worth two. Uncle, you are this."

Gu Guoqiang was so coaxed that his face was full of smiles, and he did not forget to remind him, "Don't announce this matter to the public yet, wait until you contact the mountain runner;

Remember, secrecy is the key to success, while disclosure is the key to failure. If you don’t want to be tripped up by others, you must first keep your secrets.”

Gu Mingyue replied solemnly, "Uncle, I remember it."

Gu Mingyue always felt that she came from the future, had experienced the information explosion, and had an inexplicable sense of superiority.

She thought she knew a lot, but now it seems that she is the frog in the well!
