This was my first time racing against the sun. As the sun set in the west, the sky became increasingly dim. The darkness was swallowing up the last rays of sunset light, but I was still trying to buy time for myself in the mountains.

However, just as the sun was about to set, I was still on the hillside, half an hour away from the post station. No matter how anxious I was, I couldn't fly back. Even if I left the wooden ox and flowing horse behind and rushed back, I would probably be trapped on a long dark road. The forty-nine photos of the dead were playing in my mind on a loop, and the image of the dead and rotten Gu sculpture with blood coming out of all its orifices was also replaying.

I don't know what is hidden in the darkness that can easily make people so terrified, but what is certain is that it is definitely not the poisonous pollen of the ghost claw flower that can do that, otherwise the Song sisters would have been scared to death long ago. It was just a small illusion that stimulated the brain nerves. The real ghost hand behind the scenes that can scare people to death is definitely not that one. It is still lurking in the darkness and has not yet unveiled its mysterious veil.

"It scared to death fifty people in the military camp who were similar to me, and frightened the monster Joseph so much that he dared not go out and lived in fear all day long. In the end, it scared to death a Gu Diao that eats living things alive and devours people like crazy. What on earth could this thing be?" I muttered as I pushed the wheel.

As it was getting dark, I felt despair and fear filling my heart. I didn't know what to do, and my hands and feet were not working properly. I even wanted to jump off the cliff and go back to the post station. I didn't want to stay here any longer.

I gasped and watched the mountain road being swallowed by darkness. I stopped immediately and looked towards the cliff on the side of the hillside. It's not that I'm superstitious or timid, but the things I've heard are enough to prove that the terrible enemy in the darkness is something I am completely unable to deal with. This is a threat from death.

I heard whispers and mumblings in the darkness. I knew my brain was going crazy again, but I had isolated myself from the poison. Logically, the poison miasma wouldn't affect me. But why did I have hallucinations again? Was the hand of the devil reaching out?

I could faintly hear the sound of horse hooves. Could it be that this person behind the scene was really a ghost? Could it be some kind of demonic headless knight? I didn't believe it at all, but I couldn't help but think of the stories about ghosts and monsters that my family told me when I was a child.

It wasn't until a beam of fire broke through the darkness and I saw clearly that I breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the person coming was Yunwen. She was riding a horse and holding a torch in her hand. It was not an illusion or a ghost.

"Zhou Bo!" Yunwen shouted from a distance.

I quickly waved my arms and shouted, "I'm here!"

When she saw me, she immediately asked the horse to speed up. I never thought she could ride a horse. It seemed that she had been taught since she was a child. This is the speed control that can only be achieved with equestrian training. Before I counted to 120 times, the horse and Yunwen were in front of me. Yunwen hurriedly pulled me on the horse. I didn't care about the wooden ox and the flowing horse and the things placed in it. She said, "If you don't go back so late, the wolves will covet you. That's very dangerous. You should go earlier next time, okay? I'm worried about you."

I held her willow waist, and our bodies touched each other several times as the horse bounced up and down. Ben was a little embarrassed about this, so he could only hastily reply, "Okay, got it."

Yunwen wanted to drive the horse, so I held up the torch for her. She squeezed her calves against the horse's belly, and the horse moved forward at full speed, quickly passing the downhill slope. Even the fog could not stop the horse's speed, and soon we arrived at the entrance of the post station. Yunwen pulled the reins and shouted, "Whoa!"

Sanfu stopped, and after the two of us got off, we hurried into the house and led the horses in.

I wanted to tie it up in the stable, but I stopped it and brought it into the house, where I tied it to a pillar. When Yingchun saw it, she said with an unhappy look on her face, "If it poops in the house, we'll stink to death. Get it out!"

I saw how the Gu Diao died miserably. If I take it out, it will surely die.

"Just put up with it for tonight and we'll talk about it tomorrow," I said.

"Why? There must be a reason. Do you like the smell of feces? That's right, you come from the countryside, and you like the smell of that to go with your meal." Song Yingchun said bluntly.

Bai Lu glanced at me, sighed and said, "Sister, don't say that. Brother Zhou Bo did this for a reason..."

Thinking it was pointless to hide it, I did not stop Bai Lu from explaining everything. At this moment, Yunwen and Yingchun also understood why I spent a whole day trying to find a way to install the light.

After that, I ate some leftovers to fill my stomach, and asked everyone to stay awake tonight and gather around the fire. I lit a few more fires to make the house brighter. Everyone was so scared that they stayed up all night without feeling sleepy. After all, I had told you about how I was almost eaten by the monster in my dream, and no one dared to try it again.

Even if everyone couldn't stay awake that night and their eyelids were fighting, they would remind each other and stay up all night by the campfire. They only dared to take a short rest after the sun came out in the early morning. They finally survived the ordeal.

Not long after I slept, I went up the mountain to push the wooden ox and flowing horse back. Yingchun, who was afraid of death, also came to help me with my power generation.

The spare parts and equipment brought back today and yesterday can basically create a good power supply system. Since everyone realized the seriousness of the matter last night, no one had the energy to do anything else. They were just waiting for me to give instructions to deal with everything and quickly turn on the lights to avoid a restless sleep at night.

"Everyone, please work harder today and take some emergency measures. Yingchun, you will be responsible for connecting the waterwheel power and the AC generator to convert water energy into electrical energy. I will be responsible for connecting all the copper wires in the electrical wires and arranging the placement area. Yunwen, you are taller, so please move the canal away to prevent the water in the waterwheel from flowing into the canal, so as to prevent the fields from becoming depressions. Bailu, you will cooperate with Yingchun. Also, if I call you, come over as soon as possible to help me pass things." I said.

The tasks have been temporarily arranged and everyone is doing their job.

It is not difficult to connect the wires. Tear off the insulator, rub the copper wire to make the loose wires smooth, even and dense. Then cross the two sections of copper wire and turn them horizontally. Then, wrap the two extra vertical copper wires directly around the horizontal copper wire. After five or six turns, a lot of wires will be torn off. Then re-wrap the torn insulator and heat it to make it fit and avoid leakage as much as possible.

Since I pulled down almost all the equipment together with the wires, all I had to do was connect the wires and weld them together to basically power them on. Yingchun polished the bearings of the generator with stones, and Bailu also helped, until the protruding part of the bearing was ground into an octagon. Then they found wood to make gears, hollowed out the center into an octagon that fits perfectly, and connected the two.

I turned on the blast furnace, used the bellows I made before to raise the flame inside the blast furnace, used the spear head that was lost in the corner, burned it at a high temperature, clamped it out with a wooden stick, and roasted the bearing head. Only the front end was slightly deformed, so that the gear could be embedded and would not fall off no matter how many times it was turned.

Afterwards, Yunwen had already settled it. The water channel was slightly deviated from the waterwheel, so the water from the waterwheel could not flow into it, and the water would not continue to flood the fields along the channel. The four of us brought the generator to the gear shaft outside and connected the gear to the transverse gear. The generator's wires were connected to the battery, and the battery's output port was also connected to other wires and connected to the output device.

The last step is to place the lights. Since there are many long wires, a large light tube is hung directly in the house, and a light bulb is connected outside the door. Light tubes are also connected to the gate and the stable. Finally, two light bulbs are placed in the backyard.

At this time, turn on the iron pestle switch, the waterwheel is driven by the flowing spring water and starts to rotate. If the water cannot flow into the canal, it will flow back to the spring pool. The waterwheel rotates, generating power to rotate the gear shaft. The gear shafts are connected to each other and are driven, which in turn drives the engine gear connected to one of the links. As soon as the engine bearing moves, current begins to be generated and accumulated in the battery.

After accumulating for a long time, I pressed the emergency button manually to simulate the effect of a sudden power outage on the aircraft, and the current was released...

The lights around lit up!
