Fifth, the difficult road

The four men walked out of the rocky beach, and there was a path in front of them that stretched west along the river, and they had to walk in front of them, two in one, and one in the back. www.biquge.info The ravine is not wide, the mountains on both sides go westward, the steeper the mountain becomes, there are no decent trees on the slopes, and some jujube trees, acacia trees and other small thorn shrubs grow near the river near the water.

Director Qian found that he had walked to the back at this time, Wang Youcai didn't know when he walked to the front, he exclaimed, "You see Wang Youcai has walked to the front." Wang Youcai said nonchalantly: "You can't walk fast on this mountain and fall behind." Wu Likong said: "It's not that he walks fast, it's that we walk slowly, and the road in the mountains is not easy to walk!"

While the four of them were talking, they came to a place called Sanxingtan, Wang Youcai stopped walking, he pointed to the front of the three people and said: "There are three big puddles in front of this, people call it Sanxingtan, let's go over and take a look, I think it is the most suitable place to build a dam." ”

Director Qian said, "Then you can take us to have a look." Wang Youcai looked at the three people again and said, "You put the sticks in your hands here first, there are a few big stones in front of us as the way, and we can only go hand in hand over the stones."

The three of them listened to Wang Youcai's words, they hurriedly put the stick in their hands on the side of the road, Wu Likong walked in front of him and he was the first to jump on the big stone, he bent down on the stone and stretched out his hand to pull Principal Qian, Wen Jinyong pushed up hard in the back, so that Principal Qian had to climb to the top of the stone with great effort.

Principal Qian stood on the top of the stone and looked west, and saw that the ravine was forty or fifty meters away, and a strange stone like a catfish's head stretched out from the south mountain to block the middle of the river, causing the water in the river to turn a corner and go north and walk dozens of meters away before flowing eastward again.

Wang Youcai also climbed the big stone at this time, and the four of them stood on the top of the stone. Wang Youcai pointed to the three people in front of him and said, "The big puddle in front is Sanxingtan, let's go over and take a look." ”

Director Qian stood on the rocks, looking at the tall and smooth rocks blocking the way in front of him, he sighed and said, "Hey, I walked on the rocky beach just now, and then I walked on the Daoguang Stone." Wang Youcai continued: "This is a sword light stone!" Principal Qian smiled and said: "The sword light stone is the sword light and the stone, what I mean is that we are like walking on a stone like the sword light!"

Wu Likong patted Director Qian's shoulder and said, "Principal Qian doesn't have to worry about it, with the three of us here, we will carry you over." ”

After Wu Likong finished speaking, as soon as he turned around and jumped like a monkey, he jumped onto another big rock, he stretched out his hand and said, "Come, I will lead the way, and we will move forward." ”

Wang Youcai said with some dissatisfaction: "You are running strangely fast, Principal Qian has to walk forward slowly!" Wu Likong jumped down from the big stone again, walked to the bottom of the big stone where Principal Qian was standing and said to him: "Come, Principal Qian, you come down slowly." Principal Qian pulled Wang Youcai with one hand, Wen Jinyong with the other, and Wu Likong supported his legs below, so Principal Qian slowly slipped down from the big stone.

After Principal Qian's feet hit the ground, he muttered, "Ahem—I'm really old, and I'm a drag on you." I can't be as sharp as you young people. ”

Wu Likong took Principal Qian's hand and walked forward, and the three of them surrounded Principal Qian and climbed over a few big rocks and finally came to Sanxingtan.

The four men stood next to Sanxingtan, and they watched as there was a trickling stream flowing from west to east along the ravine through Sanxingtan, and the river flowed north under the blockage of the rocks. Several large rocks were washed away by the river water flowing down from the mountain into a large bowl-shaped puddle. The water was so clear that it washed away the rocks so smooth that the four of them stood there and began to express their opinions.

Principal Qian stood there with his chest held high, his belly raised, his arms stretched out, his mouth open, and after taking a few breaths of fresh mountain air, he began to speak. He said: "The choice of the site for the construction of the dam should be based on the small distance between the two mountains, that is, the narrow distance between the mountains is conducive to our dam construction, and the second should be based on the condition of the foundation rock at the bottom of the dam. The foundation rock is hard and solid, and the dam is strong and stable when it is built on it. He shook his head and said, "I don't think this place is ideal." ”
