"Who took care of all this before I arrived?"
Zheng Quchi was multitasking, squatting down and methodically tapping and installing while asking Xiao San questions.
The mistress pointed at Xiaoqi and herself, looking like a wronged child: "It's just me and Xiaoqi. We can barely understand some of the blueprints and manage to set it up after a while, but we're not very good at it. It breaks every time we use it."
Zheng Quchi now understood why Xing'an had grouped the three of them together.
So all three of them are logistics staff.
Another possibility is that it's not that they didn't put it together well, but that this product is meant to be disposable? The person supplying the goods is either unskilled or deliberately producing substandard products to fool laymen.
"Who made these things for you? Why didn't you have them assemble them before sending them over?"
“That person said he didn’t have time to help us install it and told us to do it ourselves. Besides, that person only made a deal with us…” Ah San said, but then suddenly realized that he had carelessly revealed some things he shouldn’t have said. He quickly stopped talking and didn’t continue.
But it would be awkward to suddenly fall silent, so he quickly changed the subject, put his hands on his hips, and said emphatically, "Why are you talking so much? Get to work. This cart is a real pain; it'll take at least half an hour to fix. We still have several other things to do. If we don't get it done before dark, Brother Xing'an will definitely be angry..."
"alright."
Before he could finish his rant, Zheng Quchi interrupted him, dusting off her hands and standing up.
The words were still stuck in her throat, but the mistress had already forgotten what she had just said.
Xiao San and Xiao Qi stared blankly behind Zheng Quchi, then gasped in shock: "!"
My goodness, it's perfectly square, "without missing an arm or a leg," and there's no mismatched or haphazardly pieced together anywhere. It really is a complete wheel-skid car!
"What did you do?!" The mistress screamed like a mole, her face contorted in pain.
Zheng Quchi was startled and exclaimed, "What did I do?!"
He rushed to her, lifted her hands, and immediately began to admire and marvel at them: "How did it grow like this? How can it work so well? It, it just took care of everything so quickly!"
He and Xiaoqi would usually rack their brains to study the blueprints. Once they understood them, they would find the parts and then figure out how to assemble them from scratch.
The time spent in this process depends entirely on how quick-witted they are. Sometimes, others who can't stand it will come over to help, but they are all novices and make things worse. Even if they manage to get it working, it's not reliable and will break down easily.
Zheng Quchi couldn't stand him anymore and decisively pulled her hand back. She said slowly, "If you can't even handle such a small matter, what are you keeping me around for?"
When the mistress first heard her say that about herself, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Although he said those words before.
Xiaoqi, however, explained before Xiaosan could: "I was just trying to scare you. Hello."
Seeing that Xiao Qi was stuttering when he spoke, but managed to squeeze out three words, Zheng Quchi understood his words a little: "You mean, what you said in the sinkhole before was Xiao San trying to scare me?"
Xiao Qi was about to nod when Xiao San slapped him aside and made him stand still. He said seriously to Zheng Quchi, "I was just trying to scare you, but Xing An and the others weren't. Anyway, as long as you're telling the truth and are really a carpenter with no bad intentions, then you can stay here with us without worry. Xiao Qi and I will definitely protect you."
To be honest, although the mistress hadn't known Xiao Zheng for long and didn't know her well—he didn't even know which "zheng" character was written in her name—he liked her unrestrained yet knowing-when-to-be-soft nature.
Being too assertive makes you difficult to get along with, while being too soft and submissive also makes you difficult to get along with. Someone like her is just right.
Even Xiao Qi, who usually doesn't like to talk to or interact with people, likes to get close to her and often finds opportunities to stay by her side. Perhaps it's because she has a kind of infectious charm that makes people feel comfortable and relaxed.
Seeing that he was suddenly so serious, Zheng Quchi was almost ready to bring him three cups of wine and ask him to swear an oath of brotherhood.
But unfortunately, she was an undercover agent, and from the beginning, she was biased. Her goal was to help the government arrest them all, so she was destined to betray their trust.
“Of course I’m a carpenter, and you can’t make something real out of a fake, right?” She said calmly, gesturing for them to look at the wheel chock she had just finished working on.
Xiao San and Xiao Qi agreed, saying, "They've done a much better job than us. Let's go over there next."
The three of them moved to another pile of wooden parts, which was even simpler, but its purpose made Zheng Quchi's pupils narrow: "A rolling cage?"
"You really can tell what it is just by looking at it?" The mistress's eyes widened.
She didn't ask them what they were going to do with the "rolling cage" because she suddenly remembered the gunpowder tubes she had seen in the armory.
The "rolling cage" is a round cage that can be used as a torture device to imprison people or to hold objects. It has specially designed slots inside, which are specifically designed to hold long and thin objects. It can hold blades, and of course, it can also hold hidden weapons such as gunpowder tubes.
If someone puts these gunpowders in the "rolling cage" and then someone pushes it down from a height at a very fast speed, it will roll smoothly into the enemy's midst, causing an explosion and flying flame fragments, resulting in casualties.
