Talking all the way, he came to the dock, and met these two familiar people, Zhou Yi was relieved. It is no wonder that people are social animals, and having companions by their side can always give them a sense of security. And when you are alone, you will be surrounded by loneliness for some reason, and then give birth to all kinds of negative emotions.

When he was in the city, he didn't seem to have any special feeling when he looked at this fleet, but when Zhou Yi really came to these ships, he knew how big these ships were, the high mast seemed to go straight into the clouds, and if the sails were hoisted, I am afraid it would be like a dark cloud, such a ship would be at least twenty zhang long from head to tail. The Min River is also a big river, and it is impossible to parallel such two ships.

The ship-making technology of the Great Song Dynasty has reached a point where Zhou Yi feels incredible.

Just when Zhou Yi was sighing with emotion, a servant came over with a whip in his hand, and shouted loudly from afar: "Hey, what are you doing?" Why don't you go to work? Be careful I pump you. ”

Seeing his fierce and vicious appearance, Zhou Yi didn't dare to bet that he must be pretending, so he hurriedly ran towards the place with the most people, but he heard the big bull calling him halfway, and looked at it, Zhang Zhongdu had already passed.

Handing over the rope in his hand to Zhou Yi, Da Niu grinned a little dry lips and said with a sincere smile: "Hengzhi, you just follow me, I'll pull hard, you just follow me, you don't have to make much effort." ”

Everyone was in place, and the banks of the river were full of people like them, and those slender men who came from the previous county town finally handed over their work at this time, and they all seemed to be happy, laughing at each other and walking back, looking at Zhou Yi's eyes, this behavior seemed to be venting a kind of pleasure for the rest of their lives.

"Ready, pull ......"

It seems that there are such people all around, they raise the command flag in their hands as a trumpet, and command everyone to work together, but for their concise and ambiguous instructions, Zhou Yi said that he could not accept them.

A man who has never been hit in the crotch will never know what it feels like to have an egg, and a man who has never carried a burden will never be able to experience the bitterness of a rope strangling his shoulder.

When the rope with the thickness of his thumb pressed heavily on his shoulder, Zhou Yi knew what it meant to be "skin pain." ”

The ship full of stones began to move like this, relying on everyone's efforts, but after a while, Zhou Yi was already sweating profusely, his shoulders had worn out his skin, and he was soaked in sweat, and he suddenly felt numb in pain.

But he didn't dare to relax, the suppression with the whip next to him was eyeing him, several people had already suffered in his hands, and Zhou Yi didn't want to be the next one.

The ship had been on the road for about half an hour, and then came to a halt again, for the walls in front of it had blocked the way of the fleet.

Zhu Mian and his party on the bow of a big ship at the front got off the boat again, and Su Jiaming had been walking on the shore without leaving, and when he saw him coming down, he hurriedly asked: "My lord, there is a city wall in front, and the fleet can't pass, so it's better to walk from the waterway outside the city, just go around." ”

Zhu Mian's face sank, and he said, "Master Su, what are you talking about, this is something for the official family, can you do it?" Do you say that the city wall is important or that the official family is important? ”

Su Jiaming was taken aback, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and replied in fear: "Of course, the official family is important, and the official family is important." ”

"Isn't that it, since it's important for the official family, then what kind of city wall do you say? Just dismantle it directly. Zhu Mian said lightly, in his eyes, the city wall in front of him is the same as the walls of those big families in the city, and he can tear it down if he wants to.

But Su Jiaming thinks differently, he is the parent official of this Qingshen County, so he naturally thinks about this Qingshen County, if this city wall is destroyed, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild it - the most important thing is that the imperial court will not allocate funds below, and these losses will be borne by themselves.

"My lord, this wall is ......"

Su Jiaming wanted to fully explain Zhu Mian's idea of giving up smashing the city wall, but he was interrupted by Zhu Mian just after he said a few words.

"Master Su, this official believes that you are a person who understands righteousness, and we are all doing things for the official family, so don't say some things, it won't sound good if you say it, just let everyone know it. Get out of the way. ”

"My lord, this ...... I also hope that adults will not be strong. Su Jiaming's footsteps did not move, and his old face was flushed.

Zhu Mian didn't look at him, but said, "Master Su, you are already over seventy, right?" ”

Su Jiaming was stunned for a moment and sighed.

Zhu Mian continued: "If you feel powerless to do things for the official family, then say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, and enjoy the joy of his grandchildren around his knees, which should be very good." ”

"The lower official immediately asked people to open the city wall, and asked the adults to wait for a while." Su Jiaming was shocked, and immediately clenched his fists and said.

Zhu Mian nodded quietly, and then went to the boat again, Su Jiaming didn't dare to slack off, dragged his old body to the city, and said to Wu Shan: "You go to the warehouse to get some gunpowder." ”

Wu Shan asked, "My lord, are we really going to blow up the city wall?" ”

Su Jiaming glared and said, "Do you think I want to?" Then if you don't tear down the city wall, you can tear down your future. See which one you will. ”

"Well, I think it's reasonable to tear down the walls. Wait a minute, sir, I'll take someone to get gunpowder. Wu Shan said hurriedly.

About half an hour later, a wheelbarrow came this way, covered with a coarse cloth and a box containing gunpowder.

Zhu Mian looked condescendingly, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Su Jiaming asked people to clean up all the idle people around him, and then found a few people who were experienced in firing guns, and after some discussion, the blasting plan was determined.

Zhou Yi followed most of the slender men to withdraw half a mile, on a piece of grass, Zhou Yi lay down without regard to the image, looked at the blue sky in the sky, and said faintly: "Hey, the dark clouds are coming, covering the sky, and the sky is about to change." ”

Da Niu looked at the bright sun in the sky, and said with some doubts: "Hengzhi, isn't it that you were tired and hallucinated just now?" Isn't it a good day? How big the sun is and where the clouds come from. ”

Zhang Zhong said to Zhou Yi: "You can eat whatever you want, but it's better not to say it casually, if you let anyone listen to it, the consequences will be very serious." ”

So Zhou Yi closed his mouth, closed his eyes, and didn't say anything.

"Boom ......"

Just as he was about to fall asleep in a trance, a deafening explosion made his ears buzz and he woke up from his half-sleep.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that in a cloud of smoke, huge stones fell from the top of the city wall and smashed into the ground, and an ugly gap appeared in the complete city wall.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, and when they were teenagers, they had never seen such a battlefield-like scene since they were born.

The explosions sounded one after another, the smoke and dust were filled, as if floating in the air like a dark cloud, and the big bull said to Zhou Yi: "Hey, you are really right, there are really clouds." ”

Zhou Yi "......"

The intact city wall collapsed under the force of the explosion, and was violently exploded into two sections, and the falling debris fell into the Minjiang River, blocking the flow of water, and the water level rose significantly.

Su Jiaming didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly organized personnel to move the stones out of the river, and Zhou Yi was naturally among the laborers.

patting the dirt on his buttocks, Zhou Yi said, "It's time to start work." ”

Da Niu smiled: "It's much better to move stones than to pull fibers, I like this." ”

"Why?"

"Because it's cooler in the water."

The stones used to build the city walls were carved from the nearby mountains many years ago, and each piece was two feet long, one foot wide and one foot high, and weighed hundreds of pounds.

Jumping into the river, the icy river water was about to submerge Zhou Yi, the turbid river water made people dare not dive, but it was impossible to carry such a big stone without diving.

First of all, all the stones above the water surface were cleared, and two large piles were placed on the river bank. But there were still many rocks in the river, so the water surnamed Hao held his breath and dived to the bottom of the water, moving the heavy stones with difficulty.

Some of them couldn't hold on in the water, and they drank a big sip of water, mixed with mud and sand, so that he had to go ashore and vomit. Unfortunately, before he could vomit, an official came over and drove him into the water with a shuddering scold.

Zhou Yi couldn't swim, so he escaped this fate to a certain extent, but he also had to soak half of his body in the water, dragging the big stone that was much heavier than himself.

The big bull took a deep breath, and then a fierce man plunged into the water, groped for a stone, and plunged his legs into the mud at the bottom of the river, dragging the big stone with all his might, with the buoyancy of the river, it was much easier than dragging on the shore, but he had to come up and breathe a sigh of relief after a while.

Several times in a row, Zhou Yi said, "Do you want me to help?" Do you take a break? ”

"It's okay, I'm okay, in this Minjiang River, I can swim three times in one go. They all call me Langli Baitiao. ”

"You just blow it, take a rest when you're tired, there's no need to work so hard." Zhou Yi said with concern.

Da Niu smiled and didn't say anything, after a long time, he finally dragged a big stone above the water, Zhou Yi and Zhang Zhong didn't say a word, they hurried down, and the three of them worked together to get this big stone ashore.

The three of them sat on the grass, looking at the big stone in front of them and laughing, and suddenly, Zhou Yi saw some red blood stains on the green grass, and after a closer look, it was actually blood. I don't know when a hole appeared in the leg of the big cow, presumably it was cut by a sharp stone when it was in the river.

"You're bleeding." Zhou Yi said.
