Chapter 92 Tacit Understanding
Looking at Sheng Ze's back, Shen Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief.
Given her current age and experience, she really can't be too conspicuous. Having a label of "knowing a little about medicine" is already high-profile.
But crossing the river was related to her personal safety, so she had to do something to feel at ease and had to take risks.
I hope Cheng San can keep his word and keep the secret for her.
Shen Qingqian raised her foot and ran towards Liang's side, but she didn't notice that not far behind her, the two brothers Shen Xiao and Shen Jun looked at each other, and then Shen Xiao spoke first.
"Second brother, you can't tell anyone about this."
They were just passing by here, but unexpectedly heard the last few sentences of the conversation between Shen Qingqian and Sheng Ze.
Shen Jun nodded, "Don't worry, big brother, I know the seriousness of the matter."
When Mr. Shen was alive, his favorite among his grandchildren was Shen Qingqian. He had brought her with him since she was a child. Even if they didn't talk, they would always be together in the study, with the old man handling official business while she quietly read.
In the minds of Shen Xiao and the others, Shen Qingqian was different from other brothers and sisters in the family, so it was normal for her to know things that they didn't understand.
Although they didn't know why she kept it a secret, she already had this awareness at such a young age. Instead of feeling distrusted, Chen Xiao and the others felt relieved—her sister didn't want them to worry; she was protecting them!
In fact, the Shen family was not unaware of Shen Qingqian's abnormality, but her abnormality was not a bad thing, so everyone just kept it to themselves.
"Okay, let's go help cut bamboo to make some bamboo rafts." Shen Xiao patted Shen Jun's shoulder and took the lead.
The weight capacity of a bamboo raft is not as great as that of a wooden raft, but since the small trees around it have almost been pulled out, someone suggested making some bamboo rafts to carry the luggage, and then people can just pull them on the wooden rafts.
Sheng Ze took the picture drawn by Shen Qingqian to discuss with Li Laosan, but Li Laosan couldn't understand it at all.
"Why don't you just try making one first."
I heard that this thing can make the raft speed up and maintain balance and stability in the water. Li Laosan is certainly not afraid of trouble, but he really doesn't understand it, so he can only let Shengze do it.
In terms of hands-on ability, Shengze is not as good as Lingyun. After thinking for a moment, he decided to find the materials first and wait for Lingyun to come back in the evening to do it.
At night, everyone saw the experiment done by Shengze.
Ling Yun used thumb-thick branches to make the fan ribs, and found some unknown leaves to make the fan blades, making a bidirectional spiral fan. He then used thin branches to tie a raft, simplified the small parts, and combined the two to make something that was almost the same as Shen Qingqian's drawing.
“Does this thing really work?”
"Who knows? Let's wait and see."
Everyone who had finished their work came to watch, waiting for Shengze to launch the small raft into the water.
The largest iron pot in the team was filled with water. Shengze put the raft in it. Without moving the propeller, the small raft just moved with the waves.
"Third brother, please pull the rope quickly!" Ling Yun was so anxious that he wished he could pull the two thin ropes himself.
Sheng Ze ignored him. After observing for a while, he slowly pulled one of the ropes.
"Ah! The raft is moving! It's moving forward!"
"What's that thing in front? It's spinning really fast. Is that what's making the raft move?"
"You guys should move forward."
Everyone immediately became interested and wanted to take a closer look.
When Shen Qingqian came over, she happened to see Sheng Ze pulling another rope, and at this time the small raft just walked to the edge of the pot.
Then everyone saw that when the raft was about to hit the pot, it slowly turned and continued to move forward.
"This thing can even turn!" someone exclaimed in amazement.
The next moment, Shengze pulled both ropes at the same time, and the raft stopped.
Shen Qingqian retreated when she saw this. She knew without looking that the propeller fan would definitely be used on the raft.
