304 Lake West Wind and Rain
The two vans drove along the riverbank for a while to the other side of the lake.
"The parcel is right there. Lu Yuan pointed out the window, Xu Wen saw the island first, it was a little closer to the river bank than he imagined, no wonder it could be directly connected by a bridge.
The next thing I saw was the bridge, it was not pure wood as Lu Yuan said, at least the dozens of piers below were all made of stone. However, the bridge deck above and the bridge corridor on the surface are all made of wood at first glance, and the structure seems to be a little peculiar from a distance.
The car stopped when it reached the side of the bridge, and Lu Yuan said a little embarrassed: "This bridge can only be walked by people, not by traffic, so we have to walk over." ”
"And how did the materials you put on the parcel get in and out?" Xu Wen didn't have a problem with walking, just a little curious.
"It's still a boat. Lu Yuan pointed to the other side, several cargo ships stopped on the shore, the shape was quaint, and it blended in with the surrounding scenery, Xu Wen didn't even see it at the first time.
The two got out of the car, and the van behind also stopped.
Xu Wen walked over and said a few words, Baili Qi scratched his head and said, "Then the equipment we brought will have to be sent over by boat, right?"
Standing next to him was a man with glasses, who was said to be his college classmate named Ma Yushan, who was now doing something related with him.
"If you have a ferry, you can just drive there. Ma Yushan pushed his glasses, looked at the boats, shook his head and said, "These ships will definitely not be able to carry them." ”
"The car can be carried, but ......" Lu Yuan looked into the car and shook his head, "This little thing is not needed in the car." ”
He took out the phone and dialed it, said a few words, and quickly put it down.
"Hey, these things can't be moved casually, it's very heavy! And I debugged the data before I came, and there was an error in the process of moving, so I had to adjust it big!" Ma Yushan was very keen, and quickly realized what he was going to do from his simple words, and hurriedly stopped it.
"It's okay, don't worry. Lu Yuan's answer was as concise as ever.
They only waited for a few minutes before they saw several people running out of the island in the distance, holding tools such as flat ropes, linen and wooden frames, and crossing the covered bridge to them.
"Brother Yuan, what do you want to move?" asked a flat-headed young man in a hearty manner, and his admiration for Lu Yuan almost jumped out of his eyes.
"The stuff in this car, perfect. Lu Yuan said lightly.
"Brother Yuan said, perfect!" shouted the flat-headed young man when he turned around.
"Okay!" the young people in the back shouted together, stepped forward one after another, opened the back cover of the van, and did not start immediately, but first observed and discussed for a while.
This time is short, and they get up to speed quickly. It was first propped up on a wooden frame, then wrapped in sackcloth, and finally carefully tied with ropes and lifted up.
The whole process is extremely smooth, and it looks like it has been disciplined for a long time.
Ma Yushan originally wanted to remind something, but when he saw this/action, he stopped talking.
"It's more elaborate than moving the piano. He muttered.
"Hehe, what's it to move the piano, at most seven, what Brother Gangyuan asks for is ten! Don't say that your equipment is screwed up, even if it's all scattered, we can move you to the position as it is!" Pingtou was much more lively than Lu Yuan, and proudly introduced to Ma Yushan.
"So powerful! Shiquan, does it mean perfect?" Ma Yushan asked.
"Almost! Our craft is used to carry all kinds of work of all sizes, and sometimes these things are not all completed, so they have to be moved to another place as they are, and if you drop a part, you will be murdered by the master. Your equipment is no problem!" Pingtou said enthusiastically, at this time there was only one last piece of equipment left, he ran over to move it with someone, and the moment he got started, his smile fell, and his expression became very serious.
“...... The old school with a background is really different. Ma Yushan looked at the flat head and changed his face, and sighed in surprise.
"Then why am I going to come over with Xiao Xu?" Baili Qihaha said with a smile, and then turned to Xu and asked, "I have long wanted to have the opportunity to go to a big faction like Banmen to see it, thanks to you, thank you so much." ”
"Where, where, I'm asking you for help. Xu Wen hurriedly said.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and some words were not spoken.
"Let's go. Lu Yuan said.
The four of them walked onto the wooden bridge, and the moment they landed, Xu Wen felt steady.
Wood is more susceptible to corrosion than stone, and heat/expansion and contraction are more obvious. Therefore, timber buildings, especially wooden bridges and the like, tend to be less stable over time.
According to Lu Yuan, this wooden bridge has been built for hundreds of years, and it must have adopted an unusual process to make it so solid until now.
"There is also a nameplate here, the government set up, Wanyuan Lake West Wind and Rain Bridge, dense cantilever bracket between the column support beams wooden bridge deck, 27 bridge corridors, was built in 1630, in 1715, 1854, 1952 three times for maintenance. Baili Qi looked at the metal nameplate and read out the contents on it.
"Wind and rain bridge, isn't this the way the Dong village is built in Gui Province?" Ma Yushan asked.
"During the Qing Dynasty, the craftsman registration was cancelled, and an ancestor of Banmen took this opportunity to travel around, went to Gui Province to learn the wind and rain bridge, and built it after returning. In fact, this wind and rain bridge is a little different from that in Gui Province, and some improvements have been made, so it can be built a little longer. Lu Yuan said.
The wind and rain bridge is also called the flower bridge, and it is named after the corridor on the bridge and the pavilion on the corridor, which can shelter the wind and rain.
One of its major features is that the bridge deck corridor pavilion does not need a nail and a button, all of which are built with mortise and tenon structure, and the bridge deck is usually used to be densely packed with county arm brackets between the column support beam structure. Due to the limited length of timber, the span of the bridge is generally no more than ten meters, which is very rare.
Xu Wen narrowed his eyes and looked at it, and immediately judged its various data.
"It is 127 meters long, 5.6 meters wide and 10.6 meters high. He muttered.
"It's so big!" Ma Yushan obviously knew something about the Wind and Rain Bridge, sighed in surprise, and then turned his head curiously to look at Xu and asked, "You can see how long and tall it is at a glance?"
This is indeed the case, but before Xu Wen could answer, Baili Qi patted Ma Yushan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How is it possible, the nameplate says it." ”
Ma Yushan leaned over to look at it, and sure enough, it was the same as Xu Wen said, and praised with some embarrassment: "Well, the eyes are good." ”
Lu Yuan didn't speak, and looked at Xu Wen deeply.
He stood at another angle, facing Xu Wen, and saw it very clearly.
Before saying these numbers, Xu Wen didn't look down, and he didn't even glance at the nameplate!
He doesn't have eyes on his chin, how did he see the data on the nameplate?
There is only one possibility, he has reached the point of "seeing the subtle knowledge" mentioned in the Zongzheng scroll, and he can judge the length of all the sizes, large and small, by mental calculation!
With this skill alone, he can't reach the dust......
A group of young men walked, more than a hundred meters in an instant, Lu Yuan retracted his mind, raised his head and said: "Zongzheng scroll is placed in the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall is on Wufeng Mountain, let's go directly." ”
He was about to lead the way, when he saw several old men and a dozen young people guarding the bridge, with many things behind them.
"Fifth Uncle Ancestor?" Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment and exclaimed.
"Young Sect Master. Lu Wu was far less impatient than he had been at the entrance of the ancestral hall before, he saluted Lu Yuan, and then turned to Xu Wen.
"Mr. Xu. ”
Xu Wen raised his eyebrows, his gaze sweeping over them.
This is obvious...... It's not good.
