doomsday survival

Chapter 228 Willing to gamble and admit defeat
Hearing what Shi Jian said, Wang Lie didn't care, and happily walked home.In his opinion, Shi Jian is just a dead duck with a stubborn mouth and holding on.

Back home, Wang Lie brewed a pot of Pu'er that Shi Jian had given him before, sat on the recliner, and sipped it slowly, looking very leisurely, but he kept thinking about the past few days in his mind.

"I asked old uncle Xia before, what is a microscope, and I have already said hello when I should say hello," Wang Lie took a sip of tea and thought to himself, "Except that Wang An didn't give me face, The others have agreed, so there should be nothing he can do, right?"

According to Xia Qianhe, a microscope is mainly composed of two things, one is the lens and the other is the frame.

Wang Lie thought about all the places where Shi Jian could obtain these things, and specially greeted everyone involved, and did everything he could to prevent Shi Jian from succeeding.

Although Wang An's family didn't agree to him, considering that it was unlikely that Shi Jian would melt the glass himself, and he could make a stove to burn it himself, Wang Lie didn't care too much.

Unexpectedly, Shi Jian actually went to the kitchen to melt the glass, and he heard that he had been polishing the lenses at home for the past two days, so he didn't know if he succeeded or not.

From Shi Jian's dejected expression, it could be seen that Zhang Dongjie must have tried to reject him, and Wang Lie was finally relieved.

"What's the use of lenses alone? Without frames, it's all useless. Shi Jian, it's good for you to just stay honest, can't you live a stable life like this now? Why do you have to bother?" Wang Lie murmured.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a childish voice came from outside the door: "Grandpa, do you really want to bet with Principal Shi tomorrow?"

Wang Lie looked up, but saw his grandson Wang Liangliang walking in with grandson Wang Tingting.

Compared with Wang Liangliang, Wang Tingting's eyes looked very empty and dazed, as if he didn't exist in this world.

Seeing his grandson and granddaughter, Wang Lie couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Oh, Liangliang, why did you bring Tingting here, don't throw her down." Then he stood up and went to meet her.

Wang Lie took his granddaughter over, hugged her in his arms, and said to Wang Liangliang, "I can't take my sister out in the future. She's still young, so I can't do it if she falls."

"I see, my sister is fine when she walks, but she doesn't understand anything. Grandpa," Wang Liangliang stood beside him, raised his head and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Wang Lie walked back and sat down and said, "Of course we will do what has been agreed upon, what's wrong?"

"I don't want you to bet. I'm not happy whoever loses." Wang Liangliang said unhappily, pouted.

Wang Lie hugged his granddaughter with one hand, stroked his grandson's head with the other, and asked kindly, "Why?"

Wang Liangliang lowered his head and murmured, "You are my grandfather, of course I don't want you to lose. But if Principal Shi loses, he won't be able to teach us. I really like what he said."

Wang Lie stopped stroking his grandson's head, and after a while, he said slowly, "Liangliang, he knows a lot, but his ideas are wrong. If he is allowed to continue, he will bring disaster to the tribe. Grandpa is saving him, you know?"

After saying this, Wang Lie said silently in his heart: "That's right, I'm saving him. Although my methods are a bit despicable, when he reaches my age, he will understand that I have no malicious intentions, just It's saving him, getting him out of unrealistic thinking."

At breakfast the next day, Wang Lie saw Shi Jian again.He smiled and said to Shi Jian: "Principal Shi, I am waiting for your microscope? When will I see it?"

"Boss Wang is too anxious. Let's talk after dinner, okay?" Shi Jian also said with a smile, but his smile couldn't hide the exhaustion on his face.

Just after eating, Wang Lie found Shi Jian again and asked, "Are we going to the school or the hall?"

"This, whatever you want." Shi Jian said indifferently.

"Then let's go to the Great Hall, just call a few elders who are at home, what do you think?" Wang Lie suggested.

"Row."

Seeing that Shi Jian agreed to come down, Wang Lie said, "Then we will wait for you in the great hall." After speaking, he walked out.

He secretly said in his heart: "Shi Jian, I'll save some face for you, so as not to embarrass you in front of your students, should you thank me?"

Thinking of this, a satisfied smile appeared on Wang Lie's face.

Except for Yi Ziqiang who was still outside, the other elders were at home. Everyone gathered in the hall and waited for Shi Jian's arrival.

"Brother Feng, how is Shi Jian, has he made a microscope?" Xia Qianhe asked.

Feng Kuang laughed and said, "I really don't care about this matter, it's all his own making, and it lasted until midnight yesterday."

Xia Qianhe nodded and did not speak, but heaved a long sigh.

He is not optimistic about Shi Jian now, and Wang Lie did not hide his private actions from him.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, if he was given a choice, he would definitely stand by Wang Lie's side without hesitation.

Wang Lie was chatting and laughing with the other elders at the side, not taking today's bet seriously.

"Brother Shi should be here, why not?" Wang Lie glanced at the gate and said casually.

"Why are you so anxious, you still want people to come running?" Li Hui said with a straight face.

"Look at what you said, what's the rush? I also want to look at that microscope earlier." Wang Lie said with a smile.

"Wang Lie, what you did this time is not very interesting." Li Hui said lightly.

Wang Lie knew that Wang An and Li Hui must have said this, but he didn't take it seriously and said, "Actually, I did this for his own good."

Hearing this, Feng Kuang opened his eyes, looked at Wang Lie, let out a sneer, and closed his eyes again without saying anything.

But Li Hui said: "Wang Lie, is it for his own good that you are doing this? Then who will take the school classes in the future?"

Wang Lie put away his smile and said seriously: "Old Li, we Ming people don't speak dark words. Let's put it this way, I admire Shi Jian's knowledge, but he is too young after all, and his ideas are extreme. The children are now When you are sensible, if you let him continue to teach, the children will think that his approach is correct, and they will always have such extreme ideas in the future, that is the most dangerous."

After listening to Wang Lie's words, Li Hui frowned and thought for a while, finally heaved a sigh and said nothing more.

"Hey, when Shi Jian matures, he will definitely be allowed to teach again. Besides," Wang Lie paused, and continued, "I can rest assured that he will take this position when the time comes, right?"

No matter what other people think, Wang Lie really has this idea in his heart.In his view, Shi Jian is just young and extreme in his actions, as long as he goes through some trials and setbacks, he will slowly figure it out.

At that time, with Shi Jian's profound knowledge, strong combat effectiveness and stable attitude, he is indeed the best candidate for the first one.

"I hope he can understand my painstaking efforts. It's better for the young man to beat him." Wang Lie thought to himself.

Hearing Wang Lie's words, the hall fell silent. Apart from the sound of breathing, there was no other sound, and everyone fell into deep thought.

"Maybe what Wang Lie said is really reasonable, Shi Jian is indeed too impulsive." Li Hui thought in his heart.

There are many people who think like him, except for Feng Kuang, most of them think so.But Feng Kuang still didn't express his opinion, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Just when everyone was full of thoughts, the door of the great hall was pushed open with a creak, and Shi Jian walked in with a generator in his arms and a smile on his face.

Behind him, there was Xia Qing who was holding a strange object, and they walked into the hall together.

Seeing the items in Shi Jian and Xia Qing's hands, Xia Qianhe sighed secretly, turned his gaze to Feng Kuang who was sitting beside him, and saw a smile on the corner of Feng Kuang's mouth.

"Wang Lie lost." Xia Qianhe said to himself.

That's right, Wang Lie did lose.

He didn't expect that he had already set up many obstacles for Shi Jian, but Shi Jian still made a microscope.

Zhang Dongjie refused Shi Jian's request on the pretext that he had not recovered from his illness, and Shi Jian didn't have carpentry tools, so Wang Lie thought he couldn't make a mirror frame at all.

Unexpectedly, Shi Jian made a simple lens barrel out of birch bark, and then made a simple bracket out of birch bark. Although the frame is not strong, it fully realizes all the functions of the microscope.

Shi Jian set up the microscope, used a generator to drive a desk lamp to provide a light source for the microscope, put a drop of water on the stage, and adjusted the length of the lens barrel to make the field of vision clearest.

"Okay, everyone is welcome to enter the magical microscopic world." Shi Jian said to everyone with a smile.

Xia Qianhe was the first to go forward, lowered his head, closed one eye, put the other eye on the eyepiece, watched for a long time before standing upright.

When the end of the world came, he was just a primary school student, and he hadn't been exposed to the junior high school botany class that used microscopes.He was also amazed when he saw the microcosm for the first time.

Xia Qianhe shook his head and sighed: "Wang Lie, you really lost, come and take a look."

Wang Lie looked at the simple to rudimentary microscope, smiled wryly, and said: "Since the Great Elder has confirmed that I lost, it seems that I really lost, so there is no need to look any further."

"Let's take a look, and experience the miraculous microscopic world. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen it." Xia Qianhe also said with a wry smile.

"Okay then, I'll just take a look and let me be convinced." Wang Lie pretended to laugh heartily and walked over.
