Chapter 104 Rainy Night
He leaned close to Wei Chu's ear and whispered a few words.
There was no change in Wei Chu's expression, but Qin Chaoyan could clearly feel that he was much more tense.
After listening to Shen An's report, Wei Chu whispered a few words to Shen An, and he nodded and left.
Qin Chaoyan frowned slightly. It looked like something might have happened in this temple.
"This is our first time here, and it's raining heavily outside. For safety reasons, why don't we rest in the main hall and see if the rain stops?"
As soon as Wei Chu said this, coupled with Shen An's previous performance and the fact that Chen Bing secretly followed Shen An when he left.
Qin Chaoyan keenly noticed that something was wrong here, but she glanced at Wei Chu's expression, then looked at the children who were waiting for her to make a decision, and nodded.
"Outside, it's better for us to gather together as a group rather than act alone," Qin Chaoyan said.
She took out the firewood and fire starter she was going to use from her storage ring. When Qin Chaoyan knew she was going to go on a long journey, she took her banknotes and bought some supplies in the city.
It was raining heavily outside. Qin Chaoyan and the others hid in the temple to keep warm. After a while, Shen An and Chen Bing came back.
When they came back, they were carrying game, pheasant and rabbit, which was the dinner they had found.
Seeing that the rain outside showed no sign of abating, Wei Chu and his companions who often traveled on business had already prepared to spend the night in this temple.
So, after Shen An and Chen Bing finished their work, they went to the nearby mountains to find something to eat.
The ingredients for dinner were found by Shen An and Chen Bing, the seasoning was provided by Qin Chaoyan, and it was cooked by Wei Chu and Jia San. On a stormy night, the group huddled in a deserted temple and ate the fragrant roasted chicken and roasted rabbit.
After dinner, Wei Zhao and others surrounded Qin Chaoyan, wanting to hear her share some new knowledge. Wei Wu, Chen Fengnian and Shan Ge were also watching her not far away. Even Wei Chu and the others pricked up their ears.
Qin Chaoyan looked at the heavy rain pouring down on his coat and the occasional thunder, then looked at the fire in the house.
She thought about what to say, and the flame flickered, as if it hit Qin Chaoyan's eyes.
Got it!
"Fire can drive away the cold, provide light to people, and even drive away wild beasts when you are in the wild." She said, "Besides fire, what else do you think can be used for lighting?"
Everyone who heard her question thought about it for a moment, and Wei Zhao raised his hand with shining eyes. This was the rule they learned in Qin Chaoyan's class, when answering a question or expressing an opinion, please raise your hand.
Qin Chaoyan saw it, curled her lower lip, and nodded to show that she agreed with his speech.
Wei Zhao said: "Firefly! Firefly's body can emit light in the dark!"
Qin Chaoyan smiled and pinched his face, "Not bad, any more?"
Wei Wu and others were inspired by Wei Zhao's answer. Qi Mo was the second to answer, and he was talking about a kind of aquatic creature.
Wei Wu also answered. Seeing that Qin Chaoyan's attitude towards them was the same as that towards Wei Zhao and the other three, Chen Fengnian and Shan Ge also rushed to answer.
Qi Cheng and Xiao Changkong listened to what they were talking about and became more and more anxious. The only luminous animal they knew was the firefly. They didn't recognize any of the things that Wei Zhao and the others were talking about. They couldn't even write them and had no idea what they looked like.
Qi Cheng looked at the smile on Qin Chaoyan's face, and then looked at Wei Zhao, Qi Mo, and Wei Wu. It seemed that they had agreed to each say the name of a creature. He and Xiao Changkong couldn't find the right time to speak.
Finally, Qi Cheng found the right opportunity.
He stood up in an instant, his hand raised, his little face flushed with excitement.
Qin Chaoyan and the others' attention was attracted by him. Wei Zhao and the others stopped talking. Qin Chaoyan smiled and asked, "Qi Cheng, do you have anything to add?"
Qi Cheng wasn't quite sure. He just wanted to give himself a chance to answer, otherwise he would appear to be too uneducated.
After Qin Chaoyan finished speaking, his brain was thinking at high speed, and he got it!
"Night Pearl!"
The little guy was so excited that he even sang the last note. As soon as Qi Cheng gave this answer, Xiao Changkong slapped his thigh.
Yes, there is also the Night Pearl. Why didn’t he think of it?
Especially after Qi Cheng's answer was affirmed by Qin Chaoyan, and seeing him sit down happily, Xiao Changkong felt for the first time that he should study hard.
If he hadn't dozed off in class before and had read more books, he would have been able to answer the question today, right?
Xiao Changkong gritted his teeth secretly and decided that when he returned, he would study hard and never be absent-minded in class again.
After raising the question and successfully stimulating the students' thinking, Qin Chaoyan then began to introduce the main topic.
She talked about the invention of fire, energy, water, wind, and electrical energy, which are all usable energies.
"Lightning?" Wei Wu asked in confusion. At this time, thunder roared outside the house. Wei Zhao asked, "Master, is it lightning?"
Qin Chaoyan gave an affirmative answer. Although the sky looked dark now, he had just eaten dinner and had just said such a long list of preparations, but it was still less than seven o'clock.
So, Qin Chaoyan began to explain it to Wei Zhao and the others, and used the small experiment of using fruits to conduct electricity and form a simple battery to prove it to them.
When they really saw that flash of lightning, everyone in the temple was shocked.
In fact, at the beginning, Wei Wu and the others suspected that they had seen it wrong, and that the lightning outside had entered the house, but they soon realized that this was real and they were not seeing things.
Then, Qin Chaoyan took out batteries and other things, explained them one by one to them, and hoped that they would assemble them and complete the simple flashlight.
Not only Wei Wu and his companions had a set of materials for assembly, but also Wei Chu and the other five, and Qin Chaoyan were not left out.
At first, Wei Chu wanted to refuse, but Qin Chaoyan asked him to look at the glowing eyes of Shen An and the others behind him, and said that this was given to them by her, and he had no right to refuse on behalf of everyone.
Furthermore, the desire in Wei Chu's eyes could not be hidden, so, in this deserted temple, Qin Chaoyan listened to the sound of rain and looked at their actions from time to time.
Wei Zhao and his four little boys, Wei Wu and his three older children, and Wei Chu and his five companions, each gathered in a group, conducting an experiment, an experiment that, in this world, did not even have the necessary materials to complete.
The first person to assemble a simple flashlight was Qi Mo. Qin Chaoyan took a look at it and thought it was perfect. She praised him generously.
Qi Mo pursed his lips and still smiled.
The second person to finish was Chen Fengnian. Shan Ge and Wei Wu finished almost at the same time, three seconds slower than Chen Fengnian.
