Wen Yuanbai watched in disbelief as his junior sister took a rather large metal object from her light sleeve, then dropped it to the ground with a "plop." His eyes widened in astonishment.
He finally understood the secret hidden in her sleeve; it was truly a case of hidden secrets within sleeves!
But saving lives was the priority right now. He looked at the thing on the ground and asked, "How do I use it? What's it for?"
Xiao Youran blinked, "A jack!"
Wen Yuanbai frowned, "A thousand-pound cauldron?"
Junior sister, are you stupid? This thing doesn't even look like a cauldron.
Even if it's a tripod, what use is it other than having someone lift it?
Xiao Youran shook her head and said, "It's not a cauldron, it's the 'top' in 'top of the head,' the 'top' in 'top up.'"
jack?
Wen Yuanbai pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood. His face lit up with joy, and he beckoned Nan Zhuo over to move the strange object there.
Then, looking at Xiao Youran with a blank expression, he asked, "How do I use it?"
Xiao You Ran: ……
She doesn't know either.
She had only seen people use it in later generations, but she didn't know exactly how it was used.
After thinking for a moment, he took out his notebook again.
"Does this jack not come with an instruction manual?"
The little notebook rolled slightly in the shape of an egg and lazily said, "Yes, the instruction manual is intellectual property. 100 points of luck can be exchanged for one copy."
Xiao You Ran: ……
"Are you robbing me?" she asked through gritted teeth.
Little Notebook\\Egg hummed, "This baby will soon serve the host in a more advanced form, so naturally the cost will be higher."
A more advanced form?
She looked at the round, plump egg in front of her, her expression indescribable.
Then she suddenly realized what was happening and screamed, "You can talk?! You can actually talk?!"
Wen Yuanbai:......
The guards, soldiers, and villagers behind him: ...
Xiao Youran realized her mistake and immediately returned to reality. She touched her nose, reluctantly spent 100 points of luck to exchange for an instruction manual, and handed it to Wen Yuanbai.
While secretly cursing this little notebook for being so greedy, not only providing a substandard product, but also charging 100 times the price of the instruction manual?
Wen Yuanbai was quite clever. He glanced at it once and basically understood it. He then stuffed the instruction manual into his pocket and directed Nan Zhuo to set up the items.
Xiao Youran thought for a moment, then walked to the corner where the villagers could see away, and took out six or seven jacks.
Anyway, one copy of the instruction manual is enough.
When Wen Yuanbai, who was following behind, saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched violently.
But he also understood that one jack might not be enough, so he told the guards to each carry one and, following Nan Zhuo's method, wedged it under the boulder.
Then I started operating, pushing it upwards one stroke at a time.
The guards were surprised to find that, despite not using much force, the thing had actually slowly lifted the boulder a crack.
The villagers and soldiers watching were initially dismissive. Although they didn't know where these strange iron tools came from, they figured that such small iron tools couldn't possibly be of any use.
Surprisingly, a crack was indeed lifted from the boulder!
The villagers saw hope and were overjoyed, exclaiming, "Oh my, my brother is saved!"
From the other side came a voice bursting with joy, crying, "Oh my god, we're saved!"
Soon the boulder was lifted about a foot off the ground, but it could not be raised any higher.
But that was enough. Soon, one by one, the people inside crawled out, their faces covered in soot.
One by one, the waiting relatives came forward and hugged her tightly, crying their hearts out.
Governor Wan and Magistrate Cao, who arrived later, all breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that everyone had been rescued safely.
Only then did some officers and soldiers curiously step forward to take a closer look at the jack, and they all showed expressions of great surprise.
What surprised them even more was that they clearly saw these people come up the mountain empty-handed, so how did they suddenly produce these rock-chopping tools?
Wen Yuanbai winked at Nan Zhuo.
Nan Zhuo immediately ordered the guards to put the boulder down and quickly moved the jack into a corner behind it.
Xiao Youran blinked, wondering if she was really that insignificant.
Magistrate Cao was overjoyed and wished he could kneel before His Highness the Crown Prince and kowtow several times, but in order not to reveal His Highness the Crown Prince's identity, he simply cupped his hands and thanked Wen Yuanbai repeatedly.
Wen Yuanbai coughed lightly, "When I learned that there was a huge rock here, I had some tools quickly brought up. I didn't expect them to actually come in handy."
Governor Wan repeatedly praised the Crown Prince's wisdom.
The villagers were also deeply grateful to the prince.
As Wen Yuanbai led Xiao Youran down the mountain hand in hand, he felt a sense of smugness and immense pride.
So this is what it feels like to take the blame for your junior colleague?
Not only can he shield his junior sister from suspicion and disaster, but he can also gain the admiration and gratitude of others.
No wonder Jiang Youchen, oh no, Su Youchen, turned into a sister-protecting maniac. Only a sister-protecting maniac can understand this feeling and this sensation!
When the two reached the foot of the mountain, they encountered Yun Yue and Su Shi's group, who had followed closely behind.
Yun Yue made a quick decision, greeted Governor Wan and the others, and then took Xiao Youran and set off for the capital immediately.
Wen Yuanbai touched his nose, glanced at Sun Chengyuan trailing behind, and immediately stood between the two carriages of the Duke's Mansion and Sun Chengyuan's carriage.
So on the way back to Beijing, Xiao Youran discovered that her usually aloof and taciturn senior brother was actually sticking to Sun Chengyuan.
She secretly wondered, could it be that her senior brother actually... has a penchant for homosexuality?
This young master of the Sun family looks delicate and refined, like a scholar...
Unaware that his image in his junior sister's eyes had been completely distorted, Wen Yuanbai went through great lengths to prevent Sun Chengyuan from getting close to Xiao You. Then, upon arriving in the capital, he sent Sun Chengyuan directly to the academy, not giving him any chance to bid a tearful farewell to his junior sister.
Sun Chengyuan stood at the entrance of the academy, watching the carriage of the Prince Xuan's heir disappear into the distance, completely bewildered.
The prince has been far too enthusiastic along the way.
But what's with this feeling of being so eager to just throw him into the academy and run away?
As soon as Yun Yue and his party stepped into the Duke's mansion, Madam Su stopped in shock and grabbed Yun Yue's hand with trembling hands.
Yun Yue noticed something was wrong with his wife. He looked up and saw two people suddenly appear next to Old Madam Yun from the row of people in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, he immediately took his wife's hand and strode forward, kneeling directly on the ground. "Your son-in-law greets your father-in-law." He then bowed to another person, saying, "Greetings, elder brother."
With tears in her eyes, Madam Su bowed and said, "Greetings, Father; greetings, Elder Brother."
The old man beside Madam Yun was Su's father. Old Master Su immediately stepped over and helped the two of them up, one on each side.
"Get up, get up!" Old Master Su said repeatedly.
Su Ze, the eldest brother of the Su family, helped Su Shi up and then punched Yun Yue on the shoulder, saying, "Such a big thing, and you actually kept it from us so well!"
