Lin Yu'an was not the least bit flustered. He released the clutch, and the winch stopped pulling.
He quickly walked to a previously set up directional pulley, unhooked the steel cable from the original straight line path, and attached it to the pulley fixed to a large tree on the side.
He started the winch again. This time, the cable exerted force from the side, skillfully pulling the massive log to one side, precisely circumventing the rock.
He said to David, who had caught up, "Look now, the direction of the force has changed."
"Amazing!" David watched, dumbfounded.
Throughout the transportation process, Lin Yu'an continuously utilized the terrain and the pre-arranged pulleys to adjust the path of the log's progression.
David and Mike became his temporary assistants, both finding this novel experience quite interesting.
"David, keep an eye on that pulley; shout if the cable is about to jump out!"
"Mike, watch your step, the slope over there is steep!"
