"That's Pingzhen. ”

Baili Qi pointed out, and a group of people crowded to the window, their faces pressed against the glass.

Lu Cungao had actually been to Pingzhen, but due to the atmosphere, he couldn't help but turn his head and stare there.

Separated by a water, the beautiful city is spread out in front of them like a picture scroll. Black, white and grey are intertwined, with green dotted among them, elegant and playful.

It's still early, and the misty morning mist is mixed with water vapor, and the light smoke curls around the river, adding to the richness of the haze.

"It's so beautiful...... Gao Xiaoshu muttered to himself, his eyes lit up. During this time, a whole new world opened up before him, and he discovered a lot of new pleasures and beauties that had not been in his field of vision before.

It was like the dust that had been wiped off the eyes.

"How are we going to get there? are we going to take a boat?" asked Rong Xian through the window.

Of course he had been on a boat, which was not unusual, but it was a big ship, unlike the ones outside the car window now.

There is a river next to Pingzhen, called Shenshang Port, the width of the river is about three times that of the Qushui River, and the leaves of the flat boats on the river are sometimes white fishing nets flying, and the clouds and mist are scattered.

Some of the boats were larger, with gray-black canopies on them, and two rows of people sat on them, apparently ferryboats.

Rong Xian had never been on this kind of boat before, and it felt very novel. Its planks were so much closer to the surface of the water than a steamer that he could almost imagine sitting on it with water vapor rushing in from all directions.

"No, there's a bridge ahead. Baili Qi shook his head.

"Oh......" Rong Xian quickly disappointed.

The vehicle soon came to the bridge, which was a flat concrete bridge with a wide deck for four cars, and a pedestrian walkway on both sides to cross the bridge on foot.

Baili Qi drove the car and quickly got on the bridge.

“...... Ugly. Rong Xian looked around, and after a while, he gave a one-word comment.

"Don't say that, this Pingzhen Bridge is amazing. The port of Sansho is one of the three main drainage channels of the Great Lakes, and the water is deep and windy, and it used to be only accessible by ferry. When there is a typhoon, the ferry will be suspended, and the people on both sides of the river will not be able to get by, and I will not be able to do anything. "Baili Qi was born here when he was a child, and he knows the situation here very well, so he patiently told Rong Xian at this time.

"And then the bridge was built?" Rong Xian asked.

"Almost. But don't underestimate this bridge, it was not easy to build at that time. The water in the port is deep and urgent, with soft soil on both sides, and a lot of silt and quicksand, and ordinary bridges cannot stand at all. Later, I thought of many ways and used the most advanced technology in China at that time to build this bridge. However, it is said that the experts who built Pingzhen at that time were very opposed to the construction of this bridge, they felt that it would destroy the original environment of Pingzhen, bring the disturbance of the outside world into this stable town, and make it taste bad......" Baili Qi said and laughed.

At that time, the experts in the construction of Pingzhen ...... Do you mean Li Sansi and others?

"Their objections are invalid?" Xu asked.

"Yes, the people in the town want this bridge, and they can't help it. Baili Qi laughed and said.

"And what do you think?"

"I was a kid back then, but I was a pretty stinky kid. If you don't believe me, I wrote a letter, mobilized the whole class to sign it, and sent it to the mayor. Yes, that's what I wrote, 'Mayor Receives'. In the letter, I strongly requested that this bridge be built, so that my parents can easily go out of town to buy delicious food, and I can go out of town to play during the holidays. Baili Qi said with a smile, expressing his feelings.

"But now...... It feels a little different. Bai Li Qi quickly smiled and said.

"Huh?"

“...... I still think it's a little regrettable. Baili Qi was quiet for a while, and there seemed to be some sighs in his voice.

There was a little more car in front of him, Bai Liqi didn't speak again, he concentrated on driving, Xu Wen didn't speak again, and looked out the window again.

"Although...... But it's still ugly. Rong Xian looked at Pingzhen, then looked at the bridge passing by the window, and muttered in a low voice.

"I don't think it's a good idea to install water and electricity in the pavilion. Gao Xiaoshu suddenly said something coldly.

"???" Rong Xian looked at him in confusion, "One yard to one yard!"

"Almost. Gao Xiaoshu said sullenly.

It's about the same, indeed.

Xu Wen glanced at Gao Xiaoshu and agreed in his heart. In this regard, the child has a strange acumen.

"Don't talk about it yet, get out of the car. At this time, Baili Qi parked the car in the parking lot at the head of the bridge and greeted them.

This is also a small pier, and there are boats parked next to it, one by one, side by side, which is the Wupeng boat that Rong Xian wants to sit on.

No cars are allowed in Pingzhen, not even bicycles, and all means of transportation are boats.

There are water alleys all over the town, the houses are built on the river, on the water's edge, and the weeping willows are clinging, the stone bridge is connected, there is no noisy car and horse, and the environment is very elegant.

They came to set up the exhibition today, brought a lot of things, and loaded three pickup trucks. Of course, these things can't be carried in by shoulder—although in some places they are unavoidable and have to be carried in by boat.

Bailiqi has already contacted the ship, which is slightly larger than an ordinary passenger ship, and the canopy on it can be put away. They will use these ships to carry people and goods together.

There were some idle helpers on the dock, and when they saw them, they gathered around them and asked if they would like to help carry them.

Bailiqi quickly refused, and the foreman was about to continue to persuade him, when he saw several young men get out of the car, take out the poles and ropes, and tie up the goods with great skill.

The technique, as well as the form of bundling, made the helpers all stunned.

"It's very solid. A helper said.

"Hey, hey. Zhang Yi laughed twice, and shouted in a long tone, "Up-"

Several people worked together, and in a short time, all the cargo was moved to the wooden boat.

At this time, even Xu Wen can't help much, at most he just helps to get started. In this regard, Zhang Yi is the professional.

Soon, people and goods got on the boat and walked in a long line on the river of Pingzhen.

None of these boats are equipped with electric motors, and they are all supported by manpower with a pen. The boatman or boatlady would plunge the long penny into the bottom of the river, and with a strong push, the canopy would swim lightly and calmly on the water.

The river is not too wide, with many weeping willows and oleanders on both sides, and the long branches protrude out into the water, and the verdant branches occasionally brushed on the canopy or cargo as the wooden boats passed.

The river was so close that it seemed to be touchable as soon as you stretched out your hand. There are also fish in the river, occasionally passing by the side of the boat leisurely, and they are not afraid of people.

After a while, the lady in the bow of the boat suddenly began to sing.

The loud and soft country sound was like the wind, surrounding the boat and the trees, and at that moment, the strong nostalgia escalated for no reason, dyeing everyone on the boat.

Xu Wen narrowed his eyes, he found that this local accent was similar to the Banmen Jiangnan dialect, and he could easily understand it.

Inadvertently, he thought of Xiaoheng Village, Yushui County, and everyone and everything there.

He hasn't been back for a long time, and he is a little "homesick".

He was reminiscing when suddenly, there was a commotion, and someone was arguing fiercely.

Xu Wen looked up at the shore, and his brows immediately furrowed.
