Rebirth Craftsman

On the wide clearing west of the cliff.

Many craftsmen are sitting around to rest and chat.

Peanut and Qianqian are also playing around, holding a small branch happily stabbing the ant nest.

When Mr. Liu saw this scene, he didn't bother him. After dinner, he took Deng up and went for a stroll.

At this moment, Tang Tang brought a little boy about seven or eight years old to Qianqian's face: "Have you seen Xiao Pangdun's parents?"

Xiao Pangdun was talking about the little boy Tang Tang brought.

"It seems to be back." Qianqian replied with some uncertainty.

"What can I do to go back at this point?" Tang Tang was a little anxious: "Forget it, leave them alone, you can help bring Xiao Pang Dun, don't let him walk around, I have to make herbal tea!"

"Sister, Xiao Pang Dun is older than me, so why should I take him?" Qianqian said dissatisfied.

Little Peanut on the side was also a little unwilling.

After all, the chubby pier in front of you is very stocky, and when the time comes, people are honest enough to be fine. If you don't run around honestly, who can watch it!

"As long as you want to see, and I didn't want you to do anything else, I'm still stubborn!" Tang Tang, regardless of whether Qianqian answered or not, after a white glance at Qianqian, she went straight away, busy she had to go. .

There is no way. It is a hot day at six volts, and this herbal tea is consuming quickly. If she doesn't prepare a bit more, I am afraid that the head of the village will call her again.

Qianqian looked at Tang Tang who was going away, she was helpless.

So was Peanut, and the interest in stab the ant's nest suddenly disappeared.

She saw Xiao Pangdun staring at the toffee in her breast pocket, and immediately covered it: "What do you see, this is what my brother gave me, and you don't have your share."

"Little Peanut brother is also my brother, huh!" Qianqian raised her head.

"Cut! It's great to have a brother! I also have a brother. He gave me a bag of toffee last time!" Xiao Pangdun couldn't help but counterattack.

"My brother gave me a thousand yuan for the New Year's Day money, do you have it?" Little Peanut didn't believe that Xiao Pangdun's brother was better than her. After turning his big eyes, he said angrily.

"What's this? My brother gave me a bicycle during the Chinese New Year. Do you have one?" Xiao Pangdun attacked again.

He was obviously bragging about something wrong with his words. After all, he was only seven or eight years old. How could his brother give him a bicycle.

However, Xiao Peanut didn't notice it: "This bamboo bridge was built by my brother. Can your brother?"

"This..." Xiaopangdun hesitated for a while, and then boasted: "Although my brother doesn't know how to build bamboo bridges, my brother can build roads. Most of the roads in Xiangxi are built by my brother. Your brother will do it. ?"

"Hmph! Of course my brother can do it. Not only can he build roads, he can also make flying stick products, can your brother do?" Xiao Nuomi refused to admit defeat when he saw Xiao Pangdun, and became angry.

"Just blow it! There are no flying stick products in this world. I tell you, my brother can fish in the river and hold his breath in the water for an hour. Can your brother?" Xiaopangdun said Time is also coming. For him, who can't brag, he doesn't break the law anyway.

This time it was Xiao Nuomi's turn to be anxious, and she was about to sneer, but Qianqian dragged her away: "Let’s not talk to him, we are bragging. If Xiao Pangdun’s brother can hold back in the water for an hour, it’s not a king. Up."

"Hehe...That's right!" Little Peanut was amused.

When Xiao Pangdun heard this, he stopped Qianqian and Xiao Peanut in anger: "You two are bragging! I tell you, my brother is so good, he dares to eat anything in the mountains of western Hunan, like Caterpillars, snot fruit, and wild boar feces have been eaten. Has your brother eaten it?"

"My brother dare..." Xiao Peanut opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was covered by Liu Xing who had rushed over.

Liu Xing said bitterly, "Don't say whether it will work or not, let's give up and visit the bamboo bridge."

If Little Peanut is obsessed with Little Fatty, saying that he dares to eat feces, it is really embarrassing.

This is really a child's temper. He dare to say anything, and he opens his mouth to completely blacken him.

Seeing that Xiao Peanut's brother had surrendered, Xiao Pangdun was very proud, and ran away proudly with his fat head up.

Xiao Peanut was not reconciled. After waiting for Liu Xing to let go, she continued: "Brother, why did you admit defeat? You are obviously better than Xiao Pangdun's brother."

"You are so smart, didn't you find that Xiao Pangdun was bragging?" Liu Xing asked with a headache: "Compared to a bragging person, even if it is more powerful in the universe, what's the use?"

"This..." Little Peanut tilted his head for a moment, and was ashamed that he couldn't speak anymore.

Qianqian smiled happily when she heard this.

Especially when she thought of Xiao Pangdun's words that his brother dared to eat wild boar feces, she couldn't laugh.

Fortunately, Liu Xing came out to stop it in time, otherwise Xiao Peanut who was anxious would really dare to say anything.

Xiao Peanut heard Qianqian's laughter, and laughed embarrassedly. He broke free of Liu Xing's hands, took Qianqian's little hand, and bounced towards the direction of the bamboo bridge.

"You two slow down!" Liu Xing hurriedly followed.

The main part of the bamboo bridge not far away has been completed.

Even the armrests on both sides are being installed.

The domineering appearance has now begun to show.

Liu Xing looked very satisfied.

Only in the next second, his face changed.

It turned out that on the opposite cliff, there appeared two Xiangxi villagers carrying burdens. When they walked across the bamboo bridge, no one came out to stop them. Originally thought it was because there was no one on duty for meals and rest, but then the opposite cliff came again. A tractor drove directly over the bamboo bridge.

Although nothing happened to the bamboo bridge, Liu Xing's mood for visiting the bamboo bridge was completely destroyed.

Because some of the infrastructure of the bamboo bridge has not been perfected, and some small supporting tenons have not been installed, which allows tractors and pedestrians to pass through. It looks fine for the time being, but after a long time, I am afraid that major problems will occur.

Especially for a vehicle like a tractor, its weight is nothing, but it is afraid that the structure of the bearing beam of the bamboo bridge will be affected when it is shaken!

A few months ago, when the main part of the one-way road of the bamboo bridge was completed, he once drove a large truck across it. That was to test the load-bearing beam of the beam, but not to make the bamboo bridge before it was completely completed. , Let all people in Xiangxi, including vehicles pass!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing was anxious. When he was about to go to the village chief to ask what was going on, he found another big problem, that is, under the handrail on the right of the bamboo bridge, someone secretly installed one. 'Sit on the floor'.

Sit down in the countryside is only known to the old carpenter, and usually only appears when building houses and installing doors.

Its function is to curse the owner of the house not to die, which is obviously a set of feudal superstitions.

Of course, unless the carpenter had a great hatred with the owner of the house, he wouldn't have done it at all.

Instead, they will use Luban ruler to measure the size of the door, and create a happy and evil spirit.

Now this Sit and the Earth appeared on the bamboo bridge, no need to think that it was the means of those foreign craftsmen.

Because the local craftsmen in Xiangxi will not curse those who walk on the bamboo bridge to die.

As for the people in Dongyu Village led by Village Chief Wang, that would not be the case.

After all, knowing the roots and knowing the bottom, knowing that no one knows how to sit in Dongyu Village. They are all small tricks of foreign carpenters.

If Liu Xing hadn't been born again a few decades later, he had a lot of knowledge, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to see the structure of Sit Down at all.

Seeing that Xiao Peanut was going to take Qianqian to play on the other side of the cliff, she shouted, "You two don't walk around, come back."

"Brother, I'll just go over and take a look, Qianqian said there are tea ears over there!" Little Peanut would listen to Liu Xing's words, and smiled and was about to run.

Seeing that Liu Xing was suffering from a headache, he had to chase after him, and forcibly carried Xiao Peanut back.

As for Qianqian, he didn't care, anyway, she was used to being wild. She was the king here in Xiangxi, even Baihu was not afraid, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Brother... are you angry?" Seeing Liu Xing holding her without saying a word, Xiao Pean became a little scared right now.

Qianqian who followed back knew that she was wrong, she lowered her head to talk, but she didn't dare.

In this way, the group of three people came to the tent of Village Chief Wang.

Village Chief Wang, Wang Jiabao, Wang Afu, Ahu, and more than a dozen Dongyu village craftsmen have finished their meal at this time, and are gathering outside to chat. Seeing that Liu Xing’s expression is wrong, they quickly dispersed. Now, only Chief Wang and Ahu are left.

"What's wrong with you?" Ahu couldn't help asking.

"Why don't you stand on the opposite side of the cliff to prevent the people from Xiangxi from coming over?" Liu Xing asked in a low voice after putting down the peanut in his hand.

"This is Mayor Zhuge's idea. He said that the bamboo bridge is very solid anyway. It will be opened in advance so that the people in Xiangxi can enjoy the convenience brought by it. I think this is a good idea. Of course, the village chief's grandfather also agreed. Did not guard!" Ahu sneered and scratched his head, telling the inside story.

"Do you know that you are harming people? The main body of the bamboo bridge is very solid and has passed the inspection, but many key structures have not been installed. Although this person is walking on it, it is fine, but the weight of the vehicle, once the bamboo bridge is removed The uncompact structure of the main body has been shaken apart, do you know what the consequences are?" Liu Xing asked irritably.

Seeing that Ahu lowered his head and stopped speaking, he said again: "Why are you still watching? Take out the ten arrows bamboo crossbow I gave, and go and guard the other side of the cliff. Don't let anyone or any vehicles come over, if something happens in the end. , This bamboo bridge must be rebuilt, do you know about it?"

"Liu Xing, isn't it as serious as you said?" Village Chief Wang couldn't listen anymore and stood up and said for Ahu.

"Isn't that serious? Then grandpa went under the bamboo bridge to see if the main structure had sunk a few centimeters?" Liu Xing wanted to curse, but when he thought that Village Chief Wang was still old, he changed his mind.

"Okay! I'm going to have a look." Village Chief Wang put away the dry pipe, his face was ugly, and he left.

"Wait a minute, Xie Fei and other foreign craftsmen, as well as the craftsmen of Dongyu Village, will be called over for the meeting. I have something to say to them!" Liu Xing called to the village chief Wang.

"It's not necessary! They are all working now. After all, they are counting money by piece, and no one wants to delay the meeting." Village Chief Wang looked back at Liu Xing.

"It's not necessary, but if I don't have a meeting, I'm afraid I will be cursed to death." Liu Xing said seriously: "Grandpa! I didn't treat you as an outsider, but I hope you can understand me. When looking at the main structure of the bamboo bridge from the bottom of the frame, please go and look under the handrails to see who installed the floor brake."

"Sit on the floor?" Village Chief Wang heard the words and suddenly understood why Liu Xing was so angry today.

After regaining consciousness, he ran towards the bamboo bridge with Ahu.

When he saw that under the handrail on the right side of the bamboo bridge, there was really a hidden "Sit Floor Sha" carved out of wood, his face turned black and he was very angry.

Ahu was even more hesitant and didn't know what to do.

After all, Liu Xing believed in them this way and gave them the management of the construction of the bamboo bridge in Xiangxi. Now that there is such a big mistake, it is really impossible to explain!

Village Chief Wang then climbed up the scaffold again and followed the scaffold to the bottom of the main structure of the bamboo bridge.

When the main structure really sinks by more than a centimeter, it is so wide-eyed that it can't even speak.

Ahu also came to the underside of the main structure of the bamboo bridge. He had no idea about the main structure of the bamboo bridge, but from the expression on the face of Village Chief Wang, it can be seen that what Liu Xing said before has come true.

The main structure of this bamboo bridge...

I'm afraid it is really sinking.

"Grandpa, what should we do now?" Ahu asked anxiously.

"What else can you do, you quickly go to the other side of the cliff to guard." Village Chief Wang sighed lightly, and climbed onto the frame to find Liu Xing.

Ahu had no choice but to follow suit.

But the current bamboo bridge is something he can hold.

Because the people who travel to and from Zhuqiao are all people in Xiangxi who know.

Ahu righteously said that the bamboo bridge was about to collapse, and the people in Xiangxi said that Afu was joking. After handing Ahu some cantaloupe, he carried a load and walked onto the bamboo bridge, regardless of Ahu's obstruction.

As for tractors and other vehicles, Ahu was even more unable to stop him.

With just a swish, these vehicles passed.

He seemed to know that the ten-arrow bamboo crossbow in his hand was a decoration, and he dared not use it.

Ahu had no choice but to give up guarding the bridge and report the actual situation to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing was waiting for Mr. Wang to convene all the craftsmen for a meeting. After hearing Ahu’s report, he immediately gave a suggestion to set up roadblocks on both sides of the bamboo bridge. People and animals can pass, but vehicles... Especially large trucks must not be allowed to pass.

Ahu hurriedly followed suit, after setting up the roadblocks.

Sure enough, it worked, at least no car dared to pass.

Instead, stay on the edge of the cliff and wait for the development of things.

After all, in the eyes of drivers, the bamboo bridge has been opened to traffic, and it is impossible to seal it for too long.

After a while, the movement on the bamboo bridge attracted Mr. Liu, as well as the birthday of Zhuge.

Zhuge Dan guessed that he was busy to death. When he was forced to come to the cliff, he naturally didn't look good. After he met the head of the village, he just said, "I said you are full and have nothing to do with setting up roadblocks? No? Do you know that Xiangxi now relies on this bamboo bridge to connect to the outside world?"

"Hehe... don't question me about this, it's his idea." Village Chief Wang didn't get angry at Zhuge's words. Instead, he happily pointed to Liu Xing aside, because he knew that if nothing happened, this should be done. Zhuge Dan was trained, not him.

"What's going on?" Zhuge Dan asked Liu Xing in a daze.

Old Liu also had some doubts.

Because he knew that Liu Xing generally would not do useless things.

"It's nothing. Before I answer your question, you, as the mayor of Xiangxi, answer a few questions." Liu Xing looked serious.

"Good!" Zhuge Xan listened.

"First, who gave you the courage to let the people of Xiangxi and vehicles flow unimpeded before the bamboo bridge is completed?" Liu Xing asked in a low voice.

"No...Have you checked the load-bearing capacity of the main structure of the bamboo bridge with a large truck? Everyone sees it, but there is nothing at all. I...I am not looking at the bamboo bridge you built. It’s very solid, so do you let the people in Xiangxi enjoy this benefit in advance?” Zhuge Dan didn’t know why when he said this. He was very guilty. He also vaguely felt why Liu Xing had set up roadblocks, I’m afraid it was because of him. In the decision, there was a problem with the unsuccessful bamboo bridge.

"The solid bamboo bridge is another time, and the successful inspection is also another matter. You Zhuge Dan has read so many books, have you ever seen a bridge that allowed vehicles to pass through day and night before it was successfully built? "Liu Xing's hot temper finally broke out. He pointed at Zhuge Dan and cursed: "I think you read this book in the belly of a dog. It's simply lawless!"

"I...I..." Zhuge Dan pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and was speechless for a moment in embarrassment.

It was only then that he realized that he had passed the bamboo bridge to the people of Xiangxi ahead of time. What he enjoyed was not convenience, but spending the life of the bamboo bridge in advance.

"Liu Xing, calm down, it's not good to be out of anger!" Old Liu said softly after learning the reason.

"I actually don't want to get angry. After all, I think Teacher Zhuge should understand such a simple truth, but he just likes to make such simple mistakes. Alas!" Liu Xing sighed softly, "You don't know. The main structure of the bamboo bridge is different from the reinforced concrete, because once the reinforced concrete is formed, it has no room for looseness, that is, it is, it is also extremely small, and the bamboo bridge! It is all mortise structure, and there is no room in some key parts. Before the installation is successful, how can you use it for a long time in advance!"

"Is it too late for the rescue?" Liu Lao asked after he understood.

"According to the current sinking situation of the main structure of the bamboo bridge, as long as the vehicles are not allowed to continue to pass, there should be no need for rescue." Liu Xing said the answer in his heart.

But if it continues, I'm afraid the bamboo bridge will collapse in a short time.

"That's good!" Liu Lao breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Zhuge Dan still sticking to the side, he didn’t know what to do, and he said softly: “You mayor don’t want to do it anymore. Why are you still stupefied? Send someone to increase the number of roadblocks and post an announcement by the way. Liu Xing is not an outsider. He scolds you for your own good. If you really want him to leave it alone, you will be in big trouble, okay?"

"Yes, father-in-law!" Zhuge Dan laughed at the words, and then hugged Liu Xing: "Don't worry, I won't let a fly pass over the bamboo bridge in the next time."

"There is no such exaggeration as you said. Pedestrians can still pass." Liu Xing pushed Zhuge away: "I apologize to you for scolding you before. I hope you don't mind."

"Hahaha... you are right! Why do you need to apologize!" Zhuge Dan smiled happily: "I can meet someone like you in this life. That is my blessing. I will only cherish, but not Will grace and revenge."

"That's good, it seems that your book has not been read into the dog's belly." Liu Xing followed with a smile.

"You kid... don't spit out bones!" Old Liu shook his head helplessly. He looked at the time: "Zhuge Dan, stop talking nonsense, go and do your job! If there is any Xiangxi citizen who wants to make trouble, try his best Telling him the inside story of the impassability of the bamboo bridge will not cause unnecessary disputes."

"Yes, father-in-law!" Zhuge Dan turned and left.

However, it has not yet gone three meters away.

I saw Lin Kuantan with Sikong Lei, Lin Guoxiu and dozens of others appearing on the embankment fifty meters away.

Looking at the gloomy faces of each of them, it was obvious that they were very angry at the sudden road closure of the bamboo bridge. They got out of the car, I was afraid that they were going to ask Master Liu Laoxing.

Liu Xing also frowned when he saw this scene.

But it was just wrinkled, and there was no mood swing after that.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Liu smiled and greeted Zhuge Dan and Deng Qi who had returned.

Liu Xing took Xiao Peanut's little hand and followed behind.

"Xiao Liuzi, long time no see!" Lin Kuantan had no good words when they met, and there was a deep ridicule in his gloomy eyes.

"It's been a long time since we met. The last time we two met, was it ten years ago?" Liu Lao didn't get angry at Lin Kuantan's words, but replied with a smile: "It's just that you look a lot older! Especially your bald head, it seems that there are a few more scars. Isn't it true that you are doing something hurtful?"

"You don't need to worry about this. I came here to ask you to remove the roadblocks and let my Lin's motorcade pass by. As for where to go, you know in your heart!" Lin Kuandan touched his bald head and suddenly became cruel. Be brave.

In fact, in this situation, he didn't want to get into trouble with Liu Lao, but if he didn't go to the Southwest Mountain through the bamboo bridge, he would have to detour dozens of kilometers to reach the Southwest Mountain.

This is not the most important thing. The most important point is that large trucks equipped with large machinery and equipment cannot drive to the southwestern mountains at all. Only the bamboo bridge can be unimpeded. So... if Mr. Liu refuses to give way today, Then his plan to unearth the Bamboo God Cave is probably delayed indefinitely.

"I'm sorry, there is a problem with the main structure of Zhuqiao now, no one can pass, even the king of heaven, Lao Tzu!" Liu Lao is a person who eats soft but not hard. Seeing Lin Kuantan's tone of speech with a slight killing intent , Turned around and left with a sneer.

"Old stuff, you don't want to toast and fine wine, so don't blame me for being polite!" Lin Guandan's cold eyes narrowed, and suddenly he waved, bringing dozens of people behind him towards the edge of the cliff. Bamboo bridge rushed away.

On the road, Ahu and the villagers in Dongyu Village blocked him, and they all directly pressed him to the ground without allowing him to make any movements.

"Lao Liu, what should we do?" Deng Qilian asked.

Zhuge Dan took out the phone and started calling.

"Don't mess around, let the old fox Lin Kuantan pass! We are not his opponents!" Liu Lao suddenly compromised after pondering for a while for the sake of the overall situation.

After all, Lin Kuantan was approved by the leader to develop the Bamboo God Cave. If this is embarrassing Lin Kuantan on the road, it will be detrimental to the entire Xiangxi if it is spread out.

It's Zhuge Dan, the mayor.

"I don't agree to let it go!" Liu Xing put down the peanut in his hand, suddenly picked up a stick knife on the ground and walked towards the bamboo bridge.

It's not that he wanted to embarrass the Lin family, but that the Lin family came to Xiangxi this time and drove several heavy trucks, which were still full of goods. As long as the bamboo bridge has never been successfully built, the consequences can be imagined.

Therefore, no matter what, it cannot be allowed to pass.

Once passed, his hard work over the past few months will really be in vain.

"Liu Xing!" Zhuge Dan shouted repeatedly.

"Don't mess around! Quick! Quick! Hold him!" Liu Lao followed Deng Qi with him.

However, in the next second, Liu Xing made a move that no one expected.

he.

He even threw the stick knife in his hand toward an octagonal dovetail tenon on the main body of the bamboo bridge.

There was a click.

Hit directly.

The octagonal dovetail tenon broke.

And the whole bamboo bridge, as it creaked...creaked...a sound of mortise and wood bonding and mortise and bamboo separation sounded, it was directly deformed and transformed into another form.The original broad bamboo bridge has become a'big centipede' standing on two cliffs.

Although this'big centipede' still connects the two cliffs together, it cannot allow any vehicles to pass, because the entire'centipede back' has been sealed by various mortise and wood structures and bamboo structures, just like a Just like arranging roadblocks, it blocked everyone, and also blocked the arrogant Lin Kuantan and dozens of his subordinates.

"This...what's going on?" Lin Kuantan was dumbfounded when he saw the changes in the bamboo bridge.

He lived more than eighty years old, and to be honest, he had never seen such a weird scene.

"Liu Xing, this kid... so he still had this hand in the construction of the bamboo bridge! Why did the heir of the bamboo god's mechanism art never notice it, why... why!" Village Chief Wang was also surprised. Language, some can’t believe what the eyes see.

As a successor of organ skills, he thinks he can control the design of bamboo bridges perfectly. This is one of the reasons why he recommended himself to come to Xiangxi to help build bamboo bridges.

But now it seems that he is simply a frog at the bottom of the well.

Compared with Liu Xing, it is almost one sky and one underground.

"Hahaha...good Liu Xing!" Liu Lao was horrified, but more happy.

Because of the deformation of the bamboo bridge, he not only did what he dared not do, but also blocked the arrogant Lin Kuantan on the edge of the cliff.

This time, Lin Kuantan has great abilities, I'm afraid he can't make it through.

"No! I must be dazzled, how can the bamboo bridge be deformed?" Zhuge Dan was stunned and immersed in shock.

Xiao Peanut and Qianqian were also shocked. They knew that their brother's craftsmanship was so great that the whole Xiangxi people admired it.

But... But they can achieve a second-form change in the construction of a bamboo bridge. To be honest, they don't dare to brag like that.

"Let me take it! It turns out that Qianqian's brother is really so awesome!" Xiaopangdun also saw the change in the second form of the bamboo bridge at this time. It was petrified on the spot, and some can't believe what the eyes saw. .

Thinking of the bullshit with Qianqian and Xiao Peanut before, he felt a little embarrassed.
