Chapter 39 A Gifted Individual, The Truck Travels to Ancient Times
“A cart can carry 760 shi (a unit of dry measure), but it only takes two or three minutes to drive there. Including unloading, it takes about seven or eight minutes per trip, which means you can take away about 1500 shi of grain in about fifteen minutes. Would you like to learn how to drive such a cart?”
After Gu Xixi finished her introduction, Shen Qingyan became visibly excited. He lifted his long robe slightly with one hand and strode towards the truck. When he saw that it was indeed piled high with grain, he immediately ran back. "Please do not hesitate to give me your advice."
Even if he can't learn it today, he can learn it tomorrow.
Once he learns it, he can transport about 8000 shi of grain in one hour every morning, even if it's just ten round trips.
The entire disaster-stricken population of Xilan County only needs 2000 shi (2 jin in three days) per month.
In just one day, they raised enough to meet the needs of Xilan County for four months, and sent the rest to the disaster-stricken prefectures and counties... The hope of resolving the disaster was right in front of them!
He also has to learn it!
Some people in the court have begun to spread rumors and sow discord. Since yesterday, rumors have been circulating in various places that his mentor has won the hearts of the people and should become emperor. His Majesty has begun to have doubts and fears about him and his teacher.
The teacher rushed back overnight, but the chances of survival were slim. If something happened to the teacher, his career would be over. Before anything happened to him, he had to at least ensure that the disaster was resolved and that the people could have a chance to live.
Only then will this extraordinary encounter not be in vain.
As for the romantic feelings I have... since there's no future for them, nothing to look forward to, all I can do is offer my blessings.
He glanced at the wooden doll in Gu Xixi's hand again, then looked back at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng stepped forward, waved, and a SWAT officer boarded the truck and began the demonstration. "Alright, Mr. Shen, please watch the demonstration first, and then I'll teach you. Mr. Shen, please see, the door at the front of the truck is called the driver's cab, and the two ear-like mirrors on either side are called rearview mirrors..."
As he explained, the vehicle continuously demonstrated its main functions: forward, reverse, unloading, acceleration, deceleration, braking, turning lights on, turning lights off, and horn blast.
Shen Qingyan was greatly shocked, and his eyes were filled with madness. What kind of world was this that had such a magical car?
He didn't have time to think it through carefully; time was of the essence. So after watching the demonstration once, he followed Chu Feng into the driver's seat and immediately began to learn how to drive.
Gu Xixi: Huh?
You can get right into the driver's seat and start driving right away.
Chu Feng was bold, and Shen Qingyan was also quite bold. Gu Xixi had megalophobia, and Shen Qingyan was a complete novice driver, so they immediately hid inside the supermarket.
Zhao Jing and Xu Yi kept looking at the wooden doll in her hand.
"Young boss, this doll you've carved is so lifelike! Even though it's dressed in ancient costume, the hairstyle, facial features, and expression are almost exactly the same as yours. This is the first time I've ever seen a wood carving that matches a real face so perfectly."
Xu Yi sighed, and Zhao Jing's smile widened, "Lord Shen really went to a lot of trouble."
Most importantly, it took a lot of genuine effort; after only meeting her a few times, he remembered Gu Xixi so vividly…
Upon closer inspection, Gu Xixi realized it was indeed true; it was a masterpiece of craftsmanship, and she had to keep it carefully.
She put the doll into her pocket, rubbed her empty stomach, and searched the fresh produce section of the supermarket. Then she grabbed an apple and started eating. "You two can eat whatever you want, it's on me."
Zhao Jing and Xu Yi naturally didn't stand on ceremony. While eating, Gu Xixi packed several large bags of various fruits and vegetables for Shen Qingyan.
I didn't prepare breakfast for him today, so this will be his breakfast.
Half an hour later, Zhao Jing, who had gone to the yard to check on the situation, suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Gu Xixi hurriedly went to the yard to see as well and also exclaimed in amazement.
"He learned it already?"
Gu Xixi was jealous and envious. An ancient person could learn to use a truck skillfully in half an hour, so what was she, who had been learning to drive for half a year and still hadn't passed the driving test?
“I’ve only studied for this long before, but he’s from ancient times, so he’s quite gifted,” Xu Yi remarked. “If you don’t mention that he was the top scholar in the imperial examination, and that he’s also somewhat knowledgeable in the Six Arts of a Gentleman, he’s a very intelligent person. Not only is he smart, but he’s also physically strong. Thinking about it that way, it doesn’t seem so surprising.”
They were already one in ten thousand people in ancient times.
Gu Xixi nodded, it seemed so.
With fifty minutes left, Shen Qingyan got out of the car and ran into the fog. Chu Feng came back and explained, "Lord Shen said he wanted to go back and tidy up his study and make some preparations."
Everyone understood that the interface connecting the two worlds was indoors, and it would indeed be difficult to get the truck there; they would probably have to empty the entire study.
Everyone waited another half hour before Shen Qingyan returned. He was exhausted and dirty, but he was completely unaware of it.
As the group approached, he explained, "My study has a very high ceiling, about the height of two trucks loaded with goods. In addition, the room was cleared out a lot of things before to transport supplies, so it's all set up now. Thank you all for your help."
"Stop talking, go and drive." Gu Xixi felt sorry for him; such a good official who served the people...it was truly touching.
Shen Qingyan bowed again as he got into the truck that Chu Feng had driven to the back door. Under the worried gazes of everyone, he started the car, awkwardly turned the truck around, and then drove it backwards into the fog.
Driving in reverse?
[System, will this work? Will something go wrong?]
[No problem, no matter how he drives, he'll drive right into his world, no need to worry.]
Gu Xixi breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, in the Xilan County government office, in Shen Qingyan's study.
The study was completely empty, and all the constables were peering into the room from the doorway, whispering amongst themselves in confusion.
"The adult suddenly made us vacate into an empty house, and said that a miracle would happen soon. Is it true? Did he go to another world and learn some magic?"
"What are you saying? You lot, stop looking. The lord told you to guard the gate, so hurry up and go guard it. You can come and watch tomorrow. The lord has devoted himself to the country and the people, and now the court is still... We can't let the lord be troubled."
"let's go!"
"Oh my god, it's here! What's that?!"
……
Suddenly, a tall, red, sheet-like object, resembling the rear of an oxcart, appeared out of nowhere in the large study.
But it's taller, stronger, and more intimidating!
It's called a car, but it doesn't quite look like a car because it makes a rumbling, vibrating sound, making the house seem to shake along with it. It also seems to breathe, exhaling a lot of foul odors.
It looks like a monster!
Moreover, the monster's body grew longer and longer, and finally, a door opened in the monster's head, and their Lord Shen actually jumped out of it.
"What kind of monster is this? It's a monster!"
"Sir, are you alright?"
"My lord, what is this?"
……
Everyone wanted to approach but was afraid. Shen Qingyan instructed, "Don't come in yet. Wait until I empty the things out, then you can move them out quickly. I need to go and pull them out a second time, so be fast."
After saying that, Shen Qingyan got back into the car and demonstrated to everyone what it meant to "pour" things out.
When everyone saw that the back of this oxcart-like vehicle could automatically rise up and unload the goods, they were all so shocked that their eyes widened and their mouths gaped open.
It wasn't until the advisor kicked the truck that everyone, weak in the knees, finally stepped forward to unload the goods. Shen Qingyan then slowly lowered the dump truck bed and drove back to Hyundai.
When Gu Xixi and the others saw him reappear in his car, they all spontaneously applauded.
After two round trips, only three minutes remained. Shen Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Xixi handed him the prepared items and pushed him into the fog.
Shen Qingyan smiled at her, then suddenly rushed into the fog again, appearing in front of Gu Xixi at the last minute and placing two large bags and two large baskets of things in front of her.
