After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Xu Boan noticed the change in Chen Shishi, and then hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, fearing that he would not be able to hold back another sneeze.

After a long period of calm, Xu Boan finally let go of his hands.

Fortunately, Chen Shishi had already finished taking a shower and put on her clothes. If she had come one stick of incense earlier, Chen Shishi would have thought that it was him, the high and mighty mountain god, who was secretly spying on her, which would have been really embarrassing.

Xu Boan's sneeze came very suddenly, and to Chen Shishi's ears, it sounded like thunder!
Suddenly he was stunned, then his face turned pale and he was at a loss.

Xu Boan felt very sorry when he saw that Chen Shishi was scared by his sneeze.

But I have to say, a beauty is a beauty. Even her expression after being frightened is so adorable that it even gives people a feeling of pity.

Xu Boan pretended to be calm and said, "Don't be afraid, Chen Shishi. I caught a cold today. I was just about to come to you to talk about something, but I just happened to sneeze. Did I scare you?"

After hearing the voice of the Mountain God, Chen Shishi finally came to her senses from her panic. She straightened her clothes, knelt down in the direction of the Mountain God, and said, "I didn't know the Mountain God was coming to visit me, so I lost my manners. Please forgive me, Mountain God?"

Chen Shishi was born in a music studio, and has always been educated to remain calm and composed regardless of praise or criticism. It is their basic professional quality to always face customers with a professional smile, so this period of misconduct made Chen Shishi subconsciously feel that she had neglected the Mountain God.

Xu Boan didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and even felt that he was being rude to the beauty, so he immediately said, "It's okay, get up quickly!"

Chen Shishi stood up, and thinking about what the mountain god had just said, that he had caught a cold, Chen Shishi suddenly became a little worried.

He immediately showed a worried look on his face and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, you have a lot of things to do. I heard that you have caught a cold.
I miss you very much. I hope that the Mountain God will live a long and healthy life, and that his illness will soon disappear, and that he will continue to protect this land. I have learned some medical skills when I was in Juxiangfang before, so please wait for me for a while, and I will quickly get you some herbs. "

Wind-cold is actually what people now call a cold. The phrase "occasionally catching a cold" that often appears in costume TV dramas actually means this.

Since the bonsai world is currently living in an era equivalent to ancient times, catching a cold may seem minor, but it is actually a relatively serious problem.

Because medical resources were scarce in ancient times, ordinary people often had difficulty getting timely and effective treatment. Even wealthy families might not be able to get the best treatment due to limited medical conditions.

In addition, in ancient times, the risk of complications and death from colds was also extremely high.
Because colds are not just colds that go away after a while, they are also likely to cause a variety of complications, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, etc.

These complications were also difficult to treat effectively in ancient times, and could cause the disease to worsen or even be life-threatening.

Therefore, due to the limitations of medical conditions and the threat of complications, the risk of death after catching a cold in ancient times was relatively high. Especially for people with weak constitutions, older age or other diseases, a cold can become a fatal threat.

There are also many cases of death from colds in history. For example, Yuan Shao in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the four great classics, was recorded to have died of vomiting blood due to a cold. Yonglian, the son of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, also died of "illness caused by the cold."

Everyone is equal in the face of disease.

So when Chen Shishi heard the mountain god say that he had caught a cold, she was so worried.
Xu Boan could see the genuine concern in Chen Shishi's words at the moment, and hurriedly said, "No need, it's just a little cold, it's not worth mentioning to me.

Have you forgotten? I am a god. This little illness is just an accident. It will be cured in less than an hour. You don't have to worry too much."

Xu Boan didn't expect that his random excuse would make Chen Shishi so worried.

Only then did I realize that the occasional cold in ancient times is completely different from the modern one. If you caught a cold in ancient times, it could be a fatal disease given the resources and medical conditions at the time, but in modern times it is a trivial matter and not worth mentioning at all.

That's why Xu Bo'an just came up with this excuse.

After hearing what the Mountain God said, Chen Shishi's worry faded away and she said, "When I was still in Juxiangfang, a close friend of mine died of a cold.
I shuddered at the mention of cold, so when I heard you, the Mountain God, say you had caught a cold, I was a little nervous and forgot that you are a god. How can gods be compared with us mortals? "

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore!" Xu Bo'an smiled and changed the subject, "The reason I came to see you today is because I saw you in the group of people signing up for driving lessons, and you were ranked first among the women. I guess you motivated the other women in the group behind you, right?"

When Chen Shishi heard the question from the Mountain God, she still felt a little panicked even though she knew that the Mountain God had previously instructed that both men and women could sign up for driving lessons.

After all, women in ancient times had a low status. She wondered if it was not a good idea for her to be the first to speak out, and said nervously, "What the mountain god said should be right. Although the women in the mountain village also want to learn how to drive, no one has stepped forward.

Later, everyone saw me queuing there, and the sisters-in-law and aunts came over one after another. Did I do something wrong? If I did anything wrong, please punish me, Grandpa Mountain God."

Seeing Chen Shishi's pious look, Xu Bo'an immediately comforted her and said, "Since I put these new things in, both men and women have the right to learn and master new things. This is called keeping up with the times. You have done a good job, so why should you punish me?"

Although Chen Shishi didn't quite understand what keeping pace with the times meant, she could tell that the Mountain God was praising her.

So, Chen Shishi said happily: "Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, thank you for recognizing me, I am very grateful!

Grandpa Mountain God, since you agree that I should learn to drive, I have something I want to show you. I hope you can give it a review!"

While talking, Chen Shishi took out something on the table and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, look, this is an item I asked Master Jin Dajian to make for me a few days ago for learning how to drive. What do you think of it?"

Xu Boan looked carefully and found that what Chen Shishi took out was actually a wooden steering wheel with a diameter as big as our usual washbasin!
Look at it, it is made of rosewood, extremely smooth, and you can tell the carpenter put a lot of effort into it.

Surprisingly, the appearance of this wooden steering wheel was roughly restored to the basic outline of the steering wheel of the toy car that Xu Boan put in it.

Xu Boan simply took out the rosewood steering wheel and felt it in his hand. The smoothness is comparable to the feel of our real steering wheels. Although this wooden steering wheel is more like a simple simulator and cannot achieve complex control functions like a real modern vehicle steering wheel, it can provide people with an intuitive and interesting experience.

Many people who are learning to drive are afraid to get in the car directly. At this time, they can use the grip simulator to feel the grip of the steering wheel and the force of turning.

Although this simulator looks a bit crude, it is also controllable to a certain extent. Xu Boan couldn't help but think of the funny scenes when he was learning to drive. After returning home, he often used the washbasin as a steering wheel for practice.

But the simulated steering wheel that this little girl Chen Shishi is holding is much more useful than a washbasin.

Although Chen Shishi has not started learning to drive, she has watched other people drive in her spare time and knows that when moving forward, if the steering wheel is turned to the left, the front of the car will turn to the left; if the steering wheel is turned to the right, the front of the car will turn to the right.

When driving backward, the steering wheel should be turned in the same way as when driving forward. That is, if you turn the steering wheel to the left, the rear of the car will turn to the left; if you turn the steering wheel to the right, the rear of the car will turn to the right.

So he suddenly went to find Jin Dajian and made a simulated steering wheel according to his instructions.

As early as when Xu Boan introduced the vehicle into the bonsai world, Chen Shishi saw the convenience of the car and thought it would be great if she could learn to drive too.

But in this society, it is very difficult for women to show up in public and get involved in what men do. Moreover, the mountain god did not allow both men and women to learn it at that time. Chen Shishi just secretly observed the actions of the person driving the car.

Recently, the mountain god said that both men and women can learn it, which made Chen Shishi very happy. She excitedly asked Jin Dajian to create a simulated steering wheel so that she could practice it at home.

I have to say that people who want to learn will always seize the opportunity to learn.

After seeing this, Xu Boan couldn't help but sigh that Chen Shishi was so creative that she could think of making such an object. Although it was a bit crude, it was hard to imagine that she, an ancient woman, could have such a wonderful idea. Xu Boan was deeply moved!
Xu Boan said: "This wooden steering wheel is very exquisitely made. Not only is the craftsmanship exquisite, but the production concept is also unique and novel. However, you don't have the basics of learning to drive, so simply making a steering wheel simulator doesn't seem to be of much help to you."

Chen Shishi said happily: "Grandpa Mountain God, you don't know that whenever I have free time, I will observe how those who drive the car control it. I still know some basic operations, so I made this object to practice, so that I can get started faster when I learn to drive!"

Xu Bo'an nodded approvingly, and then sighed.

Chen Shishi did an excellent job, even too introverted.

But right now, Xu Bo'an, the mountain god, is taking care of these little guys. He will soon be able to invest more training cars to make it easier for the little guys to practice their driving skills.

In this case, Chen Shishi's invention seems a bit backward and useless.

This is just like a story Xu Boan had heard before, about someone who obtained a large number of pagers through illegal means and was sent to jail for it.

Ten years later, this man vowed to find the pager he had hidden before going to prison, thinking that he could make a fortune and then make a comeback, but he found that times had changed! The pager was no longer useful.

Chen Shishi's current behavior is actually similar to this person's.

There is no shortage of training cars, so why do we need these outdated simulated steering wheels?

However, Xu Boan didn't want to discourage Chen Shishi's proactive thinking and habit, so he didn't point it out.

However, Xu Boan had already silently put Chen Shishi in the first group for the next driving practice. When the training car arrived, Xu Boan would definitely come forward personally to let Chen Shishi be in the first group to practice driving!
He had scared Chen Shishi by sneezing just now, and now he almost scared Chen Shishi again because he said he had a cold. Although in the hearts of the little people in the bonsai world, the mountain god is a god and everything he does is right.

But Xu Boan felt that for his reckless behavior today, he should give Chen Shishi some compensation to make up for the guilt in his heart.

Thinking of compensation, Xu Bo'an slapped his head and recalled that the cloth and stockings he had bought before were originally intended to be given to Chen Shishi. Now it was just the right time to take them out and give them to her.

Xu Boan first took out the stockings placed in the corner of the cabinet, and then took out the cloth. Because fairies like Chen Shishi are usually extremely clean, Xu Boan put the cloth and stockings directly on the bed in Chen Shishi's inner room.

When placing it into the bonsai, Xu Boan was particularly careful to choose to reduce it in proportion.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to put it in the house, and even if it was put in, what Chen Shishi would see would be something as big as a mountain, and she might have to separate the socks and cloth like peeling off silk threads from an onion.

Now that Xu Boan has shrunk, Chen Shishi can see him clearly.

Chen Shishi suddenly noticed some new things on her bed, and then she discovered that they were made of fine cloth and strange gauze, a bit like a mosquito net!
Just as I was wondering what this thing was, I heard the voice of the mountain god at this moment.

"Chen Shishi, I accidentally scared you just now. Here are some fabrics and stockings that the fairies in the fairy world like. I'll give them to you as an apology."

Chen Shishi was stunned when she heard this. The mountain god was apologizing to a mortal like her!
Did I hear it right?
I must have heard it right, because the mountain god gave something as an apology, and in front of me, there were really a lot of excellent things that were obviously not something that ordinary people could make.

But looking at these things, although Chen Shishi was very surprised, she was also a little confused.

Chen Shishi could understand the fabrics. When she was in Juxiangfang, as an oiran, she had naturally seen many fine silk fabrics.

But what are those so-called stockings?
Such thin socks? Will they be comfortable to wear? It's the same as not wearing them! (End of this chapter)
