It is not wrong to say that wheelchairs have existed since ancient times. Indeed, wheelchair-like transportation tools with wheels have appeared a long time ago.
Among the world-recognized history of wheelchairs, the earliest record is the carving of a wheeled chair on the sarcophagus of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China, which is also the predecessor of the modern wheelchair.
But strictly speaking, this can only be regarded as a small car that can be ridden, but it looks more like a wheelchair.
The truly modern wheelchair was only invented at the beginning of the 20th century, and of course it was improved upon from ancient wheelchairs.
Although China has already had the prototype of a wheelchair, few people know about it due to poor information circulation and inconvenient technology promotion.
What's more, the one made by Chen Jingke is closer to a modern wheelchair. It's normal that Wu Shu didn't guess the function at first.
When she sat on it and was pushed around by Chen Jingke, how could she not understand that this chair was for her mother.
Yesterday, I saw my mother in bed, and when I got out of the house, I asked Mei Lao to make this chair without telling anyone. What a delicate thought.
Suddenly, an indescribable feeling brewed in my heart, and it quickly expanded and filled my heart, and crystal tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Chen Jingke pushed her around, expecting to be praised, but found that Wu Shu had no reaction at all.
Didn't she notice? Do you want to remind her? Or give a hint.
So he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Sister Wu, guess what this is for."
However, she still received no response, and found that her shoulders were shrugging, as if she was sobbing.
I quickly stopped and walked around to the front, and found that she had tears streaming down her face.
Chen Jingke suddenly panicked and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and said, "Sister Wu, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you?"
Wu Shu grabbed his hand, buried her cheek in his palm, and said, "Why are you so nice to me?"
Although Chen Jingke looked confused, he still followed her words and said: "You are my future wife, I will..."
Wu Shu didn't listen to what he said at all, and said to himself: "You are so good to me now, how can I repay you?"
"If...if we are not together in the future, how will I live without you."
Chen Jingke suddenly understood why she lost control of her emotions. He knelt down and carefully took out his hand, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
She said softly: "Look, Zhuang is crying, just like the little cat. Don't cry, we will be together forever, no matter who is against it."
"As long as you don't give up on your own initiative... no, even if you give up on your own initiative and want to escape, I will capture you and take you back as my wife."
"If you still dare to run, I will break your legs to see if you can run away. Then I will bully you every day and ask you to give me a hundred children."
Listening to his words that didn't slip away at all, Wu Shu's mood gradually calmed down, and he even laughed when he heard:
"You just love to talk nonsense. How can a person give birth to a hundred children? It's amazing that a woman can give birth to ten in her lifetime."
Chen Jingke said decisively: "Then give birth to ten children, even one less will not work."
Wu Shu surprisingly did not refute, but said seriously: "Okay, as long as you don't dislike it, I will give you ten children."
Chen Jingke stood up and held her hand, saying: "That's it, my mother, let's give the wheelchair to the Queen Mother first."
Waiwangmu is the honorific title given to maternal grandmother.
Wu Shu grabbed his hand and gently got up from the wheelchair, saying: "Wheelchair, this is a good name, it is clear, simple and easy to understand."
Chen Jingke said proudly: "That's right, it doesn't matter who I am, your child's father."
Wu Shu was shy and amused by his two words about "child's mother" and "child's father", and said: "Okay, child... um..."
In the end, she didn't call out her baby's father. After all, it was too difficult for an unmarried girl to say.
Chen Jingke was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he pretended not to notice it and changed the subject: "But we still need to decorate the car first."
"Put a cushion and pillow so it's soft and comfortable to sit on. It's best to prepare a small blanket to cover yourself."
"If you adjust this place, you can lower the back of the chair slightly to become a lounge chair. You can rest by covering it with a small blanket."
"Look at the copper ring on the outside of the big wheel. It's not just for good looks. When my aunt can use her hands to use strength, she can grab the copper ring and turn the wheel to walk."
The two pushed the car, and Chen Jingke introduced the functions and features of the wheelchair to her as they walked, their tone full of showoff.
Normally Wu Shu didn't like this kind of tone, thinking it was too frivolous. But now she thought it was so handsome and she liked it.
When she arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard, she asked Chen Jingke to wait outside, and she sneaked in to freshen up and then sneaked out again.
Then they walked into the yard together, pushed the cart to Yang's bedroom, removed the threshold and pushed it in directly.
Yang was sitting on the bed teaching Wu Chang how to be a female celebrity. When she saw them coming back and pushing a strange cart, she was inevitably curious.
After Chen Jingke explained, the old lady immediately became excited. God knows how depressed she was in the room.
I am even more satisfied with Chen Jingke, my prospective son-in-law. She really has nothing to fault.
Wu Shu went to find two chair cushions and put them on the wheelchair, one for sitting on and one for backrest.
After pushing the wheelchair to the bedside and teaching them how to use it, Chen Jingke took the initiative to exit the room without staying to help.
Yang was even more satisfied with his performance.
It was inconvenient to sit up and move around on the bed, and it was very troublesome to put on her pants back and forth. To save trouble, she basically didn't wear anything underneath.
Normally, I cover myself with a thin quilt, so I don't have to worry about others seeing me. Now I have to go to the ground. It would be too ugly if Chen Jingke keeps watching here.
Coming out of the house, Chen Jingke walked around the yard and admired the flowers in the flower pond from a distance.
It didn't take long for Wu Shu and Wu Chang to push Yang out of the house. He quickly went up to greet her and said, "Auntie, how do you feel?"
Yang smiled happily and said: "Okay, great, this... wheelchair is really a good thing, Jing Ke, you have worked hard."
Chen Jingke said modestly: "Auntie, thank you. Wu...well, Sister Wu and I made this wheelchair after discussing it together. She is worried about you."
Yang was even more happy and said: "You can't deceive me. Although Shu'er is smart, he knows nothing about mechanisms. How can I help you?"
"You kid, you're just too humble. You have a good heart, but you can't pass your credit on to others."
Chen Jingke glanced at Wu Shu and said in a voice that was just right for Yang to hear: "Sister Wu is not someone else."
Yang laughed and said: "Haha... OK, OK, whatever you say is what it is."
"Okay, you two go and do your own business. I'll let Chang'er push me around the temple, and then I'll go visit Master Sun."
After saying that, he directed Wu Chang to push her out of the hospital, leaving Chen Jingke and Wu Shu behind.
When they walked away, Chen Jingke approached Wu Shu and said mischievously: "Hey, sister Wu..."
Wu Shu thought he was going to cause trouble and was hesitating whether to resist, but saw him suddenly put away his frivolous expression and said with a smile:
"Do you have anything to do? If you have nothing else, come with me to the outer courtyard to take a look."
Wu Shu knew that he was being teased again, so he reached out to pinch him angrily and said, "You are getting worse and worse."
The force used was so small that it couldn't even crush an ant to death. Chen Jingke didn't feel any pain at all, but he still screamed in cooperation:
"Sister Wu, please spare your life, I won't dare to do it again."
When we were noisy and went to a crowded road, we were afraid of being seen by others and causing negative consequences, so we pretended to be serious.
Wu Shu did not follow him to the outer courtyard, but turned to the warehouse on the way. She was going to pick up three mirrors and give them to sisters Yihe Yilian and Qingju respectively.
Chen Jingke sent someone to notify Yang Tianlu and come to see him at the small school field in the guard residential area of the outer courtyard. He went there himself first.
When we arrived at our destination, we first measured the length and width of the small school field, silently estimated the distance in our mind, and soon had a rough plan in mind.
Yang Tianlu soon arrived at Xiaoxiaochang. From the way he was familiar with the road, he could tell that he came here often.
As soon as they met, he joked: "Master, you came to me to see me fight with Xu Guards and the others, right?"
Chen Jingke also smiled and said: "If senior brother's hands are itchy, it's not impossible, but I asked you to come for other reasons."
"Oh, I wonder what's going on?" Yang Tianlu's face remained calm, but his heart trembled. Could it be that his secret had been discovered?
Chen Jingke didn't know what he was thinking. He pointed to one side of the school field and said, "Find someone to build a training facility here."
He recounted the training facilities he had seen on military programs in his previous life and said, "How long will it take to repair these things?"
Yang Tianlu thought for a while and said: "It's not complicated at all and can be repaired within three days. But...are these things really useful?"
Chen Jingke asked back: "What do you think military training is about?"
Yang Tianlu shook his head and said: "Although I practice martial arts, I don't know much about military affairs."
Chen Jingke was not surprised. The art of war was a top secret in ancient times, and not just anyone could learn it.
Hou Junji only learned part of the art of war from Li Jing because of Li Shimin's decree. Yang Tianlu had basically no chance to come into contact with the art of war.
"To put it simply, there are three important points in military training. The first is discipline. Orders and prohibitions must be followed. The second is cooperation. When everyone works together, they can cut through gold. This is called military formation."
"The third is physical strength. There are not so many fancy moves in the military formation. Killing people with one knife is the right way. But all of this requires physical support. Without physical strength, anything is useless."
"The facility I want you to build is for training these three points. Do you understand now?"
Yang Tianlu showed a thoughtful expression, and then saluted solemnly and said: "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. I understand. I will let someone build the facilities you mentioned."
