The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.

Fang Tiesheng jolted and instinctively shrank back.

Zhao Hu, quick-witted and agile, grabbed Xiong Bo's wrist: "What are you doing! You can't just throw electricity at people like that! Uncle Fang is old and can't take any more shocks!"

Xiong Bo quickly explained, "Brother Zhao, don't worry. I've tried it myself several times. It only goes numb for a moment, and there's nothing wrong with it. Look at my hand if you don't believe me."

As he spoke, Xiong Bo pinched the end of the thread and pressed it again. His hand reflexively recoiled briefly, then he opened his palm, revealing no mark on his fingertips.

After calming down, Fang Tiesheng stared thoughtfully at the small black cube in Xiong Bo's hand.

The books about electricity that Nannan brought back all had chapters on electrical safety. The content was similar: what was harmful was not high or low voltage, but the constant flow of electric current through the body.

The small cube in Xiong Bo's hand only emitted a fleeting burst of electricity when pressed, which dissipated instantly regardless of its intensity, thus posing no harm. In contrast, stun guns not only use high voltage but also have a large box to store the electricity. Upon contact with a person, the box continuously supplies electricity, allowing a sustained current to be released and causing harm.

He vaguely remembered reading in a book about continuous electrical stimulation of skeletal muscles. He didn't quite understand what skeletal muscles were, but they should be the tendons, bones, skin, and flesh of a person.

In short, when someone touches the electrical source, that person becomes uncontrollably stuck to it, just like when Gousheng touched the wire before.

In addition, electric current varies in strength, and there's a table in the book showing that. For example, a lighter's current is 0.5-1mA, but he didn't recognize the symbols after that, so he only glanced at them briefly.

I'll have to go back and look at it again later.

"It's really nothing, I just wanted to confirm... If it doesn't work, then forget it." Xiong Bo looked at the three silent people and belatedly realized that he had been a bit presumptuous.

"Brother Bear, wait a minute, I'll come up, you give it a try!" The big ox at the bottom of the well roared at the well opening.

"Brother Da Niu, so you were down there." Xiong Bo poked his head out and looked at the well opening, making sure not to touch the edge of the well so as not to accidentally knock it down.

"Uncle, what's wrong with him?" Zhao Hu, who had been electrocuted, was still terrified of electricity.

Fang Tiesheng stroked his chin. The thing inside the lighter was the smallest setting mentioned in the book. Since the book also said it wouldn't hurt anyone, and Brother Bear also said it was fine, then... he really wanted to experience what this smallest setting of electricity felt like, and see if it was any different from the current from the photovoltaic panel earlier.

"Try giving me a shock."

"What?" The village chief and Zhao Hu were both taken aback.

Old Fang's head is a treasure of Lotus Village. What if it gets damaged by electricity?

"It's nothing," Fang Tiesheng waved his hand.

"No, no!" The village chief quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Zhao Hu chimed in, rolling up his sleeves and pushing forward: "If anyone's going to try, it'll be me first. I've been electrocuted before, I know what I'm doing, I'll go."

The two men stood on either side of Fang Tiesheng, blocking his path.

Xiong Bo watched the three arguing and didn't wait for them to reach a conclusion. He took the small cube and quietly pressed it lightly on Zhao Hu's arm, who was closest to him.

A faint blue light flashed by.

Zhao Hu scratched his arm: "What pricked me?"

"Hehe~" Xiong Bo held up the small black cube, "I already told you it's okay, I just pressed it."

Zhao Hu raised his arm and examined it closely. Sure enough, there wasn't a trace left, and the feeling of being stuck to someone and having a stiff head was gone.

He hadn't yet tasted exactly what it was like.

"That was too fast, let's do it again."

Xiong Bo followed his instructions and attached the thread to Zhao Hu's arm. With another snap, Zhao Hu, the village chief, and Fang Tiesheng all saw it clearly. The lightning flashed, and the hair on Zhao Hu's arm stood up instantly before settling down.

"Is it electricity?" Xiong Bo asked Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu scratched his arm again, savoring the sensation for a moment: "There was definitely a slight tingling sensation, it came on quickly and went away quickly, it must be electricity, right? Uncle Li, why don't you give it a try?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Da Niu, gripping the rope, huffed and puffed as he climbed out of the well. "I'm here! I'm here! I'll give it a try. I've never even heard of electricity before!"

Xiong Bo smiled and stepped forward, giving Da Niu a pat on the back as well.

Da Niu shuddered. "Ouch, so this is electricity? It's so ticklish!"

"Don't underestimate the power of electricity just because of this harmless gadget." Fang Tiesheng had read it several times now, and his understanding of electricity in the book had become more concrete.

"The electricity in Xiong Bo's hand is the smallest and only lasts for a moment, so it won't hurt anyone."

"There are different levels of electricity? How can you tell what's high and what's low? The electric jackhammer is high electricity, right? Does that mean the bigger the black part, the higher the electricity?" Da Niu stared at the cube in Xiong Bo's hand with great curiosity.

Fang Tiesheng didn't know how to explain it for a moment; he still needed to sort it out.

Xiong Bo stared at the little gadget in his hand, then sat down on the ground. "I'll take this apart and take a look. I have a general idea of ​​what's going on."

Fang Tiesheng did not stop him.

Although he was also heartbroken about the lighter, he didn't even know that he had been keeping the lighter he gave to Xiong Bo yesterday without returning it.

But if Xiong Bo can actually accomplish something, then this lighter will have served its purpose, and the two yuan tuition fee will still be affordable.

Oh right, there's also a flashlight; I don't know if it can be restored.

Xiong Bo placed a flat stone under his feet and carefully began to disassemble the small cube in his hand. In no time, he had taken it apart into pieces. There was a spring ring inside, with two small silver round blocks connected to it.

Only after taking it apart did I realize that there were actually two wires exposed, one above the bottom round block and one below, and the two wires were wrapped together by a membrane made of some unknown material.

"So there were two." Xiong Bo's eyes lit up as he recalled the word "twist" from the book.

"A loop, that's brilliant. Electricity must form a circulating loop, like this, which also requires two wires. One for the positive terminal and one for the negative terminal, with symbols to distinguish between them... Hmm~ Master Fang, I need to go back and review my books! Come on, come with me!"

As Xiong Bo spoke, he grabbed Fang Tiesheng, hoisted him onto his back, and rushed towards Doctor Chen's house.

"Hey! Brother Xiong, take it easy, don't let my dad fall." Da Niu jogged over and helped Fang Tiesheng up.
