The craftsman who had been waiting outside became impatient and shouted inside.
"Hey, are you testing the car yet?"
"You're not lying, are you? You haven't built a car at all?"
"Hey, you can't tell. They are just bragging and deliberately sneaking away from us."
The people inside could hear it all the time. They couldn't bear it anymore and shouted back: "Fuck your shit!"
The people outside immediately retorted: "Hey, you are still swearing. I think you are just lying. Otherwise, why did you ask us to wait for so long? Forget it, let's go. They just created a pile of waste wood. .”
The people inside were pleasantly surprised when they saw the people outside cursing and planning to leave.
I secretly urged in my heart, good job, go, go, go! Don't look back!
But God did not follow people's wishes. At this time, someone suddenly reacted. He stopped everyone and said angrily: "No, we can't leave. It was they who said that their car was unparalleled in the world and led us to come and see it. This time "My son is deliberately procrastinating and refusing to show it. I think there must be something wrong here. We won't leave today, we have to wait here to see what happens."
"Yes, yes, after you reminded me like this, I won't leave. I also have to see what kind of unique car they come up with."
The people inside were dumbfounded when they saw that the situation had taken a turn for the worse again.
I don’t know whose expectations were smashed to pieces with a bang.
Zheng Quchi glanced at them and ignored the nervousness on their faces. He walked to the back and shouted: "Take all the curtains away, pull the cart out after the horses are harnessed."
"……All right."
At this point, there was no way out. They moved, rolled up the cloth, and turned the previously enclosed area into the open, without any obstruction or obstruction.
Then, the man riding the horse came out with the two old horses kicking.
This appearance cannot be said to be much anticipated, but it is also eager to see it.
"Look, look, they are tearing down the curtains and coming out!"
At first glance, I felt that the body of this car was very high, about 2-3 meters by visual inspection, and it was also longer than an ordinary car, especially its chassis and wheels were very different.
There are four wheels, but they are not the same size as the conventional four wheels. It is made smaller in the front and larger in the back.
They thought it was strange. With such a weird design, wouldn’t it flip over when running?
But no matter how many things there are, you can't see it, because its entire carriage is covered by a large piece of oilcloth. At first glance, it looks like two old horses dragging a large cargo wrapped in a large oilcloth.
Of course, this is not done for decoration, but because the car body has just been painted, and a protective frame is installed on the car body, just to protect its safety during use and not damage the paint film.
It turns out that Fu County has been getting warmer in the past two days, with warm wind and sunny weather, and it will only take a few days for the surface to dry after painting, but they don't have time to wait. The time is coming soon, and every second counts.
"What's going on? Why do you use an oilcloth to cover the carriage? Could it be that you can't make it like the one in the picture, so you changed it so that you can't see it?"
"It looks like it, don't you think this car looks weird? It's tall and long. Is this a carriage, or is it a house built for repair? Is it so big?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's nothing like what was drawn on the previous drawings. It seems they have completely failed."
All kinds of doubts and mocking voices came overwhelmingly, almost drowning the craftsmen who built the car.
Some of them couldn't help but complain: "Why don't you pull the tarpaulin away? Listen to what these people say, how ugly they are."
Some people scolded him: "What are you thinking? The exterior paint is not dry yet. If the car starts running soon and all the dust, sand and gravel are stained on the car skin, are you going to scrape it off and repaint it again?"
"..."
Zheng Quchi shouted: "Speed up!"
When the craftsman who drove the car heard it, he responded: "Okay."
This site is large and the road surface is relatively smooth, but once the speed increases, the carriage begins to have problems.
"Hey, look, this carriage can really run, but how can it be tilted? If it hits a rock or encounters a puddle or a pothole, it will overturn directly?"
"That is to say, it can go astray on such a smooth road. Did you see that its body is so high, its stability is inherently poor, and I don't know who designed the car so brainlessly."
Someone laughed.
The craftsmen who built the car also saw this situation, and they were stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand what was going on.
How come it starts to stagger when running at such a small speed?
Obviously they all completed it based on the design drawings and assembly drawings, and there were no mistakes in them.
"Look, what exactly went wrong?"
"I don't know either. It's our first time building a car and we don't understand anything. How can we tell?"
They were panicked for a moment, but Zheng Quchi was very calm. She had expected this situation for a long time, and now she wanted to find the problem, summarize it, and have a good idea.
Click! Click!
After running for a few laps, the wheels of the carriage made an abnormal sound with the ground. Even the driver noticed it and couldn't help but slow down.
But Zheng Quchi said: "Don't stop, continue."
The craftsman glanced at Zheng Quchi in surprise. Seeing her expressionless face and a stern and insistent expression, he was caught by her expression and couldn't help but obey the order.
"Hahaha, hey, listen quickly, what is this sound? If this car keeps running like this, will it fall apart?"
"It sounds like it's about to fall apart, right? I was wondering before, how could people like them be able to make such a good car? How come our Ye country craftsmen have been looked down upon by other countries for so many years if we have such craftsmanship?"
As they talked, they realized that this was not a loss of one thousand to the enemy but eight hundred to oneself.
They looked down on the people who built the cars and came over to laugh at them and watch the fun. But in fact, this was of no benefit to them at all. It was purely a mentality of harming others but not benefiting themselves.
I think at that time, I was also angry because the car builders were so proud of themselves, as if they had built something extraordinary, and I was jealous and envious, which is why this scene of siege occurred.
But if you think about it carefully, if they failed, then so did you.
Not interesting.
So boring.
"Forget it, let's all disperse."
"That's right, our whole morning was wasted. Alas, let's go."
All kinds of ridiculing words were thrown at them, and the craftsmen who built the cars turned pale and clenched their fists, but they were unable to refute.
Until those people felt they had seen enough jokes and left voluntarily because they felt bored, these car builders were still stuck in place like stiff stones.
Since Zheng Quchi didn't shout to stop, the craftsman driving the car didn't know whether he should stop or not, so he continued like this for a while.
Zheng Quchi was very absorbed. She didn't care about other people's opinions at all, and she couldn't hear other people's mocking voices. She concentrated on watching the horse-drawn carriage running back and forth in the wide area. It will cause delayed shaking, but when in a straight line, the car body is stable, but the cause of the abnormal noise is...
"Okay, stop."
Zheng Quchi called to stop the carriage.
The craftsman driving the car jumped out and walked up to her: "Why is this happening?"
The feeling he had just now in the car was the most vivid. Sometimes it was like paddling on a boat, very smooth, but sometimes the car body would shake, as if it was stuck, and it took a lot of effort to pull it smoothly.
Others seemed to have finally woken up, and they all said: "That's right, we obviously followed the design and made everything fine, so why did it happen like this when we ran away?"
"Mu Gaoyi, Shi Hetong, tell me what's going on? Who made this design?"
If they have no problem, then the problem will inevitably appear in this model design drawing. Everything will rise from the ground. If they start on the wrong path at the beginning, then failure is inevitable.
Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong were actually very emotional, but they were organizers after all, and they couldn't be more panicked than the craftsmen. They had to calm down the situation, otherwise they would have a falling out.
"I, we don't know, but...well, wait a minute, we'll go ask about the situation."
Someone grabbed the two of them and asked, "Who are you asking?"
"this……"
They were stunned. If they asked Ah Qing now, wouldn't they expose Ah Qing?
Seeing how these people were asking impulsively, they were worried that a conflict would occur and Ah Qing would be harmed.
Shi Hetong: "Calm down first. Since today is the first time the carriage is on the road, there will definitely be problems. As long as we ask them clearly, we can deal with them accordingly. We don't need to be so excited."
"Aren't you excited? You put it lightly, we have been working so hard all day and night in vain just to come and play with you two? You said there is a problem, and I believe it, but with these problems in this car, who of us Can you handle it? Can you? If you say you are not excited, then you can give us an explanation and find the person who designed this car!"
They had already guessed that Mu Gaoyi and the others could not do this, and there must be someone behind it. They were willing to play tricks on these two people before, but now that the problem has become bigger, they can no longer allow them to pretend to be crazy and fool around.
Seeing that things were out of control, Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong couldn't help but turn their attention to Zheng Quchi for help.
I hope she has some good ideas to save them.
However, they never expected that Zheng Quchi's solution to the problem was: "All the design drawings in your hands were drawn by me."
When she came up, she gave them a thunderous thunder, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to fall into the Purple Gold Hammer.
"Aqing, what are you talking about?"
They all turned their heads and looked at Zheng Quchi in astonishment.
"Every step, every part, every piece of wood was designed by me. Otherwise, why do you think I am so familiar with it?"
Her words were so reasonable that no one could refute them for a moment.
question?
absurd?
anger?
disappointment?
Shock?
Too many emotions surged up and clogged their hearts, and they could hardly breathe. How could they still have the strength to speak.
Not far away, Runtu and Fu Rong also came. They stared at the situation here without relaxing.
To be honest, when they heard the news, they had expectations and curiosity, but in the end, they felt the same as everyone else, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
It's not just that you can build a car that can move with wheels that it will be recognized as a success.
There is no shortage of cars in the seven countries, and these uncompetitive cars, let alone compete with cars from other countries, even if they are sold outside, people will only choose Beiyuan cars or carriages made by Nanzhen Kingdom.
But after all, Zheng Quchi is the general's wife. They did not leave because they were afraid that the situation would change soon. They were paying attention to the situation. Once these craftsmen were unreasonable and hurt others, they would immediately step forward to defend her.
However, the strange thing is that under such irrational circumstances, there was no movement after Zheng Quchi said those words.
For a moment, they didn't know whether to lament that Madam was a good person and win people's hearts, or whether to say that she was confident.
When Zheng Quchi saw that these craftsmen were silent, she walked up to them and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable after hearing others ridicule a few words? Are you embarrassed?"
"But for so many years, we, the craftsmen of the Ye Kingdom, have we not been told this by the craftsmen of the Six Kingdoms?"
They remained silent.
But Zheng Quchi didn't stop: "Don't you have confidence in what you have made from the beginning to the end?"
This time, one craftsman couldn't help but reply: "But, why is this happening?"
"That's right, we believed it at first, but now you see, it doesn't work at all..."
Zheng Quchi said: "Don't make a conclusion so early. You know, nothing is final until the last minute. You have worked hard during this period, and I believe you are all tired. Leave the rest to me. Bar."
They were surprised, half in disbelief, and half in doubt: "What... do you mean?"
"As I said, it was designed by me, so I have guessed what kind of problems it will have a long time ago. Your mentality has been too tense recently, which is not conducive to tomorrow's display. It is better to go back and take a good rest. The remaining The next thing is mine."
After they heard this, they were silent for a moment, looking at her with complicated expressions.
"Let's go, let's go. Since she said so, leave it to her."
"I do not care."
"Just laugh when others laugh. Anyway, I've already lost all my face today. Am I still afraid that others will laugh at me tomorrow?"
The craftsmen slowly walked away with dejected faces, and in the end only Mu Gaoyi, Shi Hetong and Zheng Quchi, who looked calm, were left.
"Aqing, are what you just said true?" they asked her hesitantly.
"yes."
The two of them were incredible.
"Let's talk about this later. Now take the time to adjust the car."
"Do you need our help? What should we do?"
"You can't help with this, I can do it myself."
"All right."
Zheng Quchi stayed in the re-stretched curtains all day long. No one saw her come out. Even the food and drinks were brought in by Mu Gaoyi and others.
——
next day
Yu Wensheng finally returned from Jizhou.
When he left, he was riding fast and lightly packed, but when he came back, it was a cartload of baggage with no tail visible. It looked like he was out to do something, more like he was out to rob.
When he returned to the main army tent, it was still dark, and Zheng Quchi, who had been tired for a day, was falling into a deep sleep.
