Before everything goes out

"Those villagers aren't dead! I have a way to find them!"

Li Fei forcefully pulled his hand out from under the knife and shouted his words even louder.

Seeing that it was indeed effective, he quickly added more details.

"Look here!"

He held up the bracelet, showing the indicator lights on it to the crowd.

On the palm side, a red lightning bolt symbol is flashing regularly.

"This symbol means that the bracelet is out of power. Once it's charged, it will have a location tracking function. With that function, you can find other people wearing the bracelet, as well as your family and friends."

Li Fei seized the opportunity and unleashed a barrage of attacks.

of course.

He guessed it was the location tracking feature.

Based on experience, smart bracelets like these most likely have built-in GPS.

Even if there wasn't anything wrong, he still had to make up a few things to calm everyone down, since he didn't want to become disabled right after he transmigrated.

"Charge?"

"Who are you kidding? I don't believe you!"

"Don't be fooled, everyone! Don't believe a single word Huanzi says!"

Perhaps it was because they were angry, or perhaps the original owner's reputation had already been ruined.

As a result, the villagers did not accept this explanation.

Amidst the commotion, the bald-headed Niu San was about to make another move, but fortunately a voice stopped him in time.

"Wait a minute."

The crowd stirred slightly, and a short man emerged from under Niu San's armpit.

A hooked nose and sunken eye sockets.

He has a gloomy appearance and doesn't look like a good person.

"Brother, you're here."

Niu San put away the scissors and stepped back to make room.

It was obvious that this short man's words carried more weight than Wang Guodong's, at least with Niu San.

"Hmm, let me take a look first."

Niu Wenbing came to the bedside, his cold eyes looking at Li Fei.

"Reach out your hand."

Li Fei hesitated for a moment, and after confirming that the other party's hands were empty and there was no weapon, he reached out his hand.

"Lower your hands."

Niu Wenbing is 1.55 meters tall, and when he stands on the ground, he is a head shorter than Li Fei, who is sitting on the bed.

After taking it, he turned the bracelet over and over, examining it carefully and fiddling with it.

at last.

After confirming something, he slowly began to speak.

"I'm asking you, you just said you have amnesia, so how did you know this bracelet could charge?"

"this..."

Li Fei wanted to say, "Isn't this common sense?"

Considering the current situation, he changed to a more polite way of putting it.

"Look, doesn't this symbol look like lightning? This light wasn't on before, but it's on now, which is a reminder that it needs to be charged."

Lightning symbol?

Is this a reminder to charge?

Niu Wenbing frowned, trying to process this statement.

Before he could even speak, Niu San, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but chime in.

"Brother, don't listen to his nonsense, this ring..."

Before Niu San could finish speaking, Niu Wenbing glared at him, and he obediently shut his mouth again.

"Okay, then let me ask you another question. Since you need to charge it, you need to plug it in. So where is the charging port?"

Niu Wenbing asked again.

"Solar-powered."

Li Fei flipped the bracelet over, pointing it towards the back of his hand.

The originally soft material is inlaid with a piece of harder material, black, with a matte finish.

Li Fei's intuition told him that this was a solar charging panel, and the reason it was placed on the back of his hand was because this side faced outwards and could get sunlight most of the time.

In order to save his finger, it has to be.

"Solar energy?"

Niu Wenbing squinted, his expression puzzled.

"What is that?"

Seriously, bro!

I've never seen a charging symbol before, and I've never even heard of solar energy?

What kind of weird place is this?!

"It charges using sunlight, so there's no need to plug it in, hence no charging port."

Li Feiyan's explanation might be simple.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Niu Wenbing's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"You mean, this bracelet can charge itself by being left outside in the sun?"

"Um."

"How long do you need to charge it?"

"A few hours, it's hard to say."

"Then why not by firelight? There was a kerosene lamp in the room where you were locked up before. If light could charge your battery, it should have been fully charged by now."

"this..."

Li Fei was stunned for a moment.

The charging efficiency of solar energy is related to the wavelength of light.

In theory, firelight can indeed provide a little bit of fuel, but its efficiency is extremely low, approximately zero.

He did know that; in his previous life, it was common knowledge that even elementary school students knew.

However, right now...

It's obvious that explaining this to these villagers will take several hours.

The only thing Li Fei was certain of was that although Niu San's brother lacked common sense, he was definitely smart and could find any flaws in him in just a few words.

"Look! He can't answer!"

"You son of a bitch, you can't keep up this lie anymore, can you?"

"Niu San, learn from your older brother! He exposed this ring in just two sentences!"

"Hmph! Still trying to lie? I'll kill him right now, chop off his hand to remove the bracelet, and then we can all study it slowly!"

Li Fei's brief hesitation made the villagers even more excited.

Especially Niu San.

Pulled by Wang Guodong, he widened his eyes and forcefully raised the scissors in his hand.

"Wait a minute."

next second.

A hoarse voice rang out; it wasn't Niu Wenbing, but rather came from outside the door.

Even from some distance, the moment the sound rang out, the previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

Unlike Niu Wenbing's appearance.

This time, the crowd moved slightly and consciously made way to both sides, clearing a path.

Even Niu San put away his scissors and obediently pressed them against the wall, making as much space as possible.

"What are you all arguing about?"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a large mongrel dog scurried into the house.

Its fur is jet black and glossy, unlike a dog from the countryside.

of course.

The one speaking wasn't the dog, but a hunchbacked old man following behind it.

Wearing a woolen hat, he was bent over so hunched over that his face was almost touching the ground, as if he were crawling.

"Such a big matter, didn't you even think to ask for my opinion, Old Liu?"

As he spoke, the old man raised his head.

Only then did Li Fei notice that under the leaky woolen hat was a face that was half human and half dog.
