Chapter 128 What a coincidence
The next day, the two of them prepared cold food and drinking water, followed the path they came from, and climbed to the Drum Tower in a winding way.

Standing on a high place, I realized that there is actually a small river ditch under the Drum Tower, but the construction has covered it year after year, and the small river ditch is covered with wooden buildings. Now it is about to stop flowing, and it emits a foul smell.

"Do me a favor, how about a photo session?"

Under her guidance, the two first took pictures of the details of the Drum Tower from a high place, and Dong Yanru sketched the general structure with his left hand.

Then all the way down the river ditch, each household was marked in detail.

Dong Yanru has been haunting here recently, and the residents all know her.And the mother of the two children she saved that day was married from here, so even if she came to the door and wanted to observe the buildings on the ditch from the inside, most of the residents agreed.

"Don't go to the smoky building in Zhongjie. The old woman's family is gone, and she is the only one left. It seems that everyone has a grudge. Two years ago, she almost killed a child, but because of She was old and sick, so she was asked to pay for the medical expenses. As a result, it has been almost three years, and the injured child has not received a penny of medical expenses. Every time the parents go to find her, she will feel sad She stared at people, and said that if she forced her again, the whole place would be burned down."

The people around are very tired of this old lady, and some people even curse her to die every day, but the problem is that although the old lady is not in good health, it doesn't look like she will die for a while.

It took two days for Dong Yanru and Pei Chang to measure everything except the building on Middle Street, and then the two began to consider whether to try it, in case the old lady agreed.

But before the two of them had time to leave, the senior brother who replaced Dong Yanru arrived.

In addition to taking over Dong Yanru's survey work, the senior brother also has to do the preliminary preparations for the construction design.

After seeing Dong Yanru, he first expressed his concern, and finally asked Dong Yanru in embarrassment if he could stay a little longer.

"Junior Sister, don't worry, I will definitely not let you do rough and heavy work. It's the peripheral measurement. I may have to trouble you to do it with me. There should have been two assistants, but the teacher took over an urgent task temporarily. , The two assistants who have been working together all year round also went to support. This side is still recruiting, and it is too far away, I doubt that we can recruit people.”

After learning that Dong Yanru had almost done the survey work, the brother was so grateful.

"Then I'll go to this house in the end. You are a girl, and you are injured, and your boyfriend is not very good at doing this. If you go there, it will be troublesome if the old lady doesn't cooperate."

Thinking that there is only the last household left, even if the old lady disagrees with their measurement, the data can probably be calculated based on the length of the front and back and the outside of the river.

Thinking of this, Dong Yanru glanced at Pei Chang and agreed.

The senior brother came to take over, and she would stay for another five or six days at most, and she could leave after the data and blueprints here were published.The rest of the work was originally the brother's.

The professor didn't expect Dong Yanru to move so fast.Others may have to do a month or even a month and a half of the work assigned to her, but she completed [-]% to [-]% in less than ten days.

It is not necessary to go to the site to produce data and drawings in the later stage, and it can be completed in the guest house.

The brother rested for one night, and the next morning, he had breakfast with Dong Yanru and the others, and rushed to find the old lady with his bag on his back.

Dong Yanru had a rare rest, so he and Pei Chang went to other places in the city together.

There are still several places like shantytowns in the county, but the scope is not as large as that.There is also a road facing the Waijiang River, which has the same shape.The Drum Tower here is built on the Pingba side of the river, and there are many people in the afternoon.At night, people often light bonfires there, and people all over the street sing and dance together.

This primitive and simple scene has almost disappeared in later generations.Even if there is, it is also a special project created by the tourist town, with the nature of performance, which is completely different from the state of mind at the moment.

It was noon when they arrived.

I just ate something casually in a small restaurant on the street, and then sat under the Drum Tower in the square and listened to the locals chatting.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, what she observes is the expressions of the people here.

Whether life is happy or not, you can figure out a lot by looking at the expressions on everyone's faces.

There are not many people from other places in this small county.Dong Yanru and Pei Chang's clothes were obviously not from the local area. They sat in the corner, occasionally talking head to head. Most of the time, the girls were drawing and the boys were reading.

After sitting for maybe two hours, Dong Yanru was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest.

Pei Chang helped her tidy up the drawing board, and was talking on her back when she heard a "bang", and then someone said some incomprehensible words.

The two followed the sound and saw that an old-fashioned motorcycle outside the Drum Tower had crashed into a pillar.

Someone had already helped the rider up, but there was obviously something wrong with the motorcycle, and it couldn't be started.

Seeing that nothing happened, the two walked back hand in hand.

When I passed by the motorcyclist, I heard the man say that the machine was broken and I had to go to a nearby city to find someone to fix it.

After listening to a few more words, Pei Chang looked at them curiously.

Dong Yanru glanced at him, thought about it, and went up to talk to him.

"What kind of machine is broken and you have to go to the next city to find someone to fix it? It's already afternoon, and it will be evening when you go to the nearest city."

The two people who were talking saw Dong Yanru's appearance, and they didn't want to talk to each other. The main reason was that they were very anxious, and if they didn't leave, they really couldn't get there.

But the motorcycle bumped and couldn't start again. He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and he wasn't in the mood to explain it to Dong Yanru, an outsider.

"My boyfriend can fix machines, but he doesn't know what kind of machines you are."

She added slowly.

"Your boyfriend can fix it?"

"Well, he is a graduate of Nanjing University of Technology, and he is about to take the postgraduate entrance examination."

Dong Yanru was afraid that he would not be able to get off Pei Chang if he set him up, so he said, "There are many kinds of machinery. Don't tell me what they are used for. It is impossible for him to repair everything."

The two looked at each other, speaking half dialect and half Mandarin, they communicated with Pei Chang with gestures and gestures.

Both of them are from the local mold processing factory, which is a small semi-collective factory that produces some replacement parts for agricultural machines and the like.

Most of the lathes they bought were second-hand.They are all second-hand goods, and it is only natural that they are prone to problems.

In the past two days of rushing to work, one lathe could not withstand the long-term production and went on strike.

"If it's normal, it's okay, the big deal is that the delivery time will be delayed a little bit. But this time, the company that placed the order is in a hurry. If we don't deliver the goods on time, we will compensate the other party a lot of money."

While speaking, the man kept raising his hand to wipe his sweat, and his eyes were bloodshot with anxiety.
