His soul traveled through the Three Kingdoms and became a young carpenter in the countryside.
With one gouge and one tenon, the road to life in troubled times is carved out.
When Su Mo opened his eyes, he found that he was in the war-torn Three Kingdoms.
The family is bare, the workshop is dilapidated, and the father is an old carpenter who can barely make ends meet.
And he is a modern advanced woodworker, proficient in mortise and tenon joints, gears, levers, and connecting rods. He can spot wood defects and structural loopholes at a glance.
Is the wooden plow not durable? He changed.
Are waterwheels inefficient? He changed.
Is it difficult to use a wooden cow or a stray horse? He tore it down and redid it.
From improved farm tools to keel rollovers, from mechanical puppets to compasses, Su Mo carved a way out of troubled times with his woodcraft skills.
But he has a fatal flaw.
He can understand the wooden structure of the world, but he cannot understand the human heart.
Especially the gentle and tough woman Shen Qingwan who lives in the countryside.
She organized his tools, copied drawings for him, and waited silently for him.
She understood his silence, his clumsiness, and his gentleness hidden behind the wood.
But Su Mo would only say: "Thank you."
She was sad, but he didn't notice.
He was unresponsive to her overtures.
She waited patiently while he was still studying why the mortise and tenon joints couldn't stick.
Until one day, he finally understood.
Wood can create all things, but it cannot create the human heart.
In troubled times, heroes are vying for the throne and swords are everywhere.
Su Mo does not strive for hegemony, power, or dominance.
He just wanted the people to have plows to plow, water to water, houses to live in, and food to eat.
Then, the world gradually came to know.
In these troubled times, there was a country carpenter.
He made mountains and rivers by carpentry.
