Chapter 152 Chapter 152: Was it intentional or unintentional? (two more)

James hurriedly said, "Chang, you are wronging me. What am I hiding from you? You are my important business partner."

"James, don't be nervous. Of course I believe what you say." Chang Xi laughed, but in fact, he didn't really believe such words in his heart. This James' words were half-truths and half-false. Those who really believed his words didn't know how to die.

Hearing this sentence, James had a relieved expression, but he secretly winked at the person following him. The other party knew that he was going to sneak away, but he didn't know that the person following Chang Xi quickly stopped him. slip direction.

"What's going on here?"

Chang Xi stopped and signaled the person blocking the road to get out of the way. This is the boy who was borrowed from Xie Jin at the beginning. Recently, this person has been in charge of the affairs of the tea house. He also followed this inspection, and he may have seen her Went to visit John with James, so he followed.

James looked at the boy who had followed him for many years with displeasure, "What's wrong with you?"

"Sir, I have an upset stomach and want to go to the toilet."

"I thought it was a big deal, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it," Chang Xi smiled and pointed to the boy borrowed from Xie Jin next to him, "You can go with him, after all, he is not very familiar here... ..."

"No, I know the way..."

When Chang Xi heard this, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but his heart became more vigilant. What does it mean to know the way?This is the important place of the tea brick workshop, and ordinary people are not allowed to wander around.

"After all, I don't feel well. This is not a joke. Everyone is busy rushing to work now. If something happens to you, no one will find out. It's better to let people follow. This is also for the sake of your life." She spoke very sincerely, and asked James deliberately, "You say so?"

This makes James say something good. Under such circumstances, can he say something wrong?

So he nodded, and he said to his servant, "Just listen to Mrs. Chang's arrangement. She is the master, so it is right to worry."

The young man lowered his head slightly, didn't say any more words of refusal, and immediately let the person who blocked his way lead him to the latrine.

Only then did Chang Xi turn around and continue walking out. To visit a sick person, she had to go back to another hospital first, so nothing else happened along the way.

Because she let Xiaotao learn how to ride a short mare, she took the opportunity to ride a tall horse, but Xie Jin jumped out to object, and Jin Guanshi did not dare to obstruct her, so this time she changed to ride a tall horse very smoothly.

Moreover, for the convenience of riding a horse, she insisted on changing some of her clothes into riding clothes.

Fortunately, in this rural area, she has a very good reputation, and everyone in the village respects her very much, so no one jumped out to accuse her of not conforming to the norm.

With the convenient means of transportation, the time to return to the other hospital has been shortened a lot.

James naturally followed on horseback, and his speed didn't drop much, but when he clearly felt that his horsemanship was not as good as that of a woman, his expression was a little tense, and his macho heart was hurt.

Seeing this, Chang Xi burst out laughing.

James held his heart and said, "Chang, you hurt my heart very much."

Chang Xi smiled and said without much sincerity, "Then I apologize."

Naturally, James could see that she was just talking casually, so he could only shrug his shoulders indifferently, well, he and her couldn't care so much.

The two chatted and laughed and went to the guest room where John was temporarily staying, but no one was found in the room, not even Er Gouzi. Chang Xi was about to turn around and leave when he saw a familiar silver flower on the table. Peach Blossom, she squinted her eyes and was about to pick it up for a closer look, when she heard James shouting outside the house, "It's not good, Chang, something happened—"

She didn't care about the little silver peach blossom, but ran out immediately, and she heard the sound of fighting near the water.

"Let's go and have a look."

She had a bad premonition in her heart, and without waiting for others, she lifted her skirt and ran over. If she remembered correctly, it was the place where Lin Yuqi experimented with hydraulic power. When discussing with him before, the request he made to herself, She agreed right away.

Although she knew that his research direction was not right, she couldn't directly tell him about steam power, she could only guide him to the right path step by step, so this process of trial and error was essential.

Lin Yuqi's personality is flawed. When she assigned the waterside to him for the experiment, she told Guanshi Jin that people should not get too close, for fear of irritating Lin Yuqi. It's not easy for the Lin family to explain.

Although Guanshi Jin has a lot of thoughtfulness and is a bit of a philistine, he is still very careful and conscientious in his work, and he will definitely not mess up the errands assigned by her. What's more, the Lin family is also there, and Guanshi Jin's arrangements will only make things worse careful.

When she arrived, she happened to see Lin Yuqi holding John's collar with red eyes, looking like she was going to hit him, and Lin Yuqi's personal servant hurriedly pulled the fist raised by her master, so it didn't happen. disaster.

"What's going on?" Her expression was serious this time.

Seeing her coming, Lin Yuqi reluctantly let go of John's collar, and complained to Chang Xi, "He disturbed me."

Chang Xi stepped forward to calm Lin Yuqi's emotions for a while, and then he calmed down, and he was no longer so irritable.

After comforting Lin Yuqi, she turned around and looked at John who was being lifted up by James, and suddenly saw that the cloth belt he used to fix his arm was loose, but she was more concerned about why he was here than about his injury. here?
I believe that Manager Jin must have told him before that he couldn't get close to this area, and he had to appear here, which had to make her think a lot.

"John, can you tell me what's going on?"

John adjusted the cloth straps that fixed his arms by himself, gently pushed James away who was supporting him, and signaled that he was fine, and then looked at Chang Xi with a wry smile, "I mean it kindly."

"Oh, tell me." Chang Xi looked interested, but her eyes were on Er Gouzi, and she didn't see the boy, her heart sank suddenly.

Employers do not doubt, suspects do not need, until now, she has believed in Er Gouzi's loyalty, but a clever young man is not as good as an adult's old cunning, so she can only go back and find Er Gouzi and ask him carefully.

Seeing that Chang Xi was not angry, John was relieved a little, so he pointed to Lin Yuqi's experiment and said, "It's wrong for him to do this. There is indeed power in the water, but it's not done this way, but..." Speaking of which, He paused and didn't continue talking.

Chang Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, so steam power has appeared in the west now?

She remembered that she tested James last time, and it seemed that such technology hadn't come out there yet, but James was a businessman, so it was reasonable for him not to know the most cutting-edge scientific achievements.

However, if there is no large-scale production, it means that the technology is not yet mature, and only a little shadow can be touched. Thinking of this, she gradually had an idea in her heart.

Lin Yuqi suddenly jumped out of the silence, looked straight at James, "Go on."

Only then did James realize that there was something wrong with Lin Yuqi's personality. He suppressed the emotion in his eyes and said with a very good attitude, "The power should come from the wind. Didn't you see that the leaves are moving when the wind blows? If there is no power, How do leaves move?"

Lin Yuqi was moved by his words, and then fixed his eyes on the leaves on the tree. It is true that the leaves will move when the breeze blows, which shows that wind power is also a kind of power, but how to capture this illusory wind power?

Chang Xi frowned. Wind power is indeed a kind of energy, and it is also an environmentally friendly and clean energy. But at this stage, it is not easy to light up this technology tree. Once it takes a detour, it will waste a lot of energy Time, and can not produce results in a short period of time.

She looked at John. Did the missionary do it on purpose or by accident?
Sensing her gaze, John gave a friendly smile that didn't let anyone see through those blue eyes at all.

She was about to speak out to break the impact of John's words, when Lin Yuqi frowned and said, "The wind is strong and sometimes weak, it seems easy to catch, but it is not easy to use it as power to drive the machine, it is not as good as water power Convenient and easy to control...”

This passage stunned everyone present. I thought it was a fool, but who would have thought that he would suddenly say such a well-organized statement?
But in Lin Yuqi's world, he couldn't feel the reaction of outsiders. He was immersed in his own world, "Yes, water is easy to control, so it must be hot water, what kind of hot water?"

Thinking of this, his expression suddenly changed again.

Chang Xi hurriedly took the opportunity to tell Lin Yuqi's servant, "Take your master back to boil the hot water."

Hot water produces steam, and steam is the most accessible source of power in this age.

Lin Yuqi touched the edge of steam power, and she was going to take advantage of the situation to push him. Sometimes the inspiration of science comes from that moment.

Lin Yuqi's servant waited on him all the year round, and knew his temperament too well, so without saying a word, he hurriedly picked up Lin Yuqi, who was in deep thought, and went back to boil hot water.

Chang Xi watched the master and servant leave, and then turned to look at James and John who were stunned. Unlike John who looked thoughtful, James was directly stunned. He pointed to Chang Xi's head, and pointed to Pointing to the direction where Lin Yuqi left, "Is he not normal here?"

"James, you are not kind." Chang Xi scolded.

James laughed twice to hide his discomfort at being punctured, "I mean no harm."

"Is there any malice, don't say that next time, he is also my friend, I don't want anyone to slander him behind his back." Chang Xi said seriously, no matter what the world thinks of Lin Yuqi, but she is a normal person here, and she will never allow it Anyone who insults him in front of her is her respect for Lin Yuqi.

James had an understanding expression, and now he didn't say anything doubtful.

John stared at the direction Lin Yuqi left and said, "He is a very interesting person, and I want to make friends with him."
