Chapter 353: Natural Wonders

The tricycle galloped all the way, crossed the cross street, passed the county grain bureau, and continued to travel about 200 meters to the Chajiang River.

There is neither a bridge nor a ferry, but a pontoon bridge.

Below the pontoon were empty oil drums, and above they were made of wooden planks.

At both ends there was a huge iron chain, which was firmly tied to the reinforced concrete pillars on the ground by the river.

There is also a large cable at both ends that ties the pontoon to the root of a large nearby tree.

This is to loosen one of the large chains of the pontoon bridge when the water is high, so that it will lean against the river bank to the side, so as not to be washed away by the water.

When the flood waters receded, a special person drove the fishing boat and pulled a large cable to re-erect the pontoon bridge.

The history of this pontoon bridge is not long, it is less than ten years old.

In the past, when there was no pontoon bridge, everyone used ferries to cross the river, which is also the origin of many people on boats in Yanyan Village.

The width of the pontoon bridge is not too large or small, about three meters.

But it was enough for Wang Qiang's tricycle to pass.

The tricycle built and assembled by Wang Qiang, even after two merit upgrades, the distance between the wheels on both sides is less than two meters.

However, motor vehicles are not allowed to go on the bridge, it is too heavy for the pontoon bridge to bear.

Pallet trucks that are too heavy are also not allowed to go on the bridge.

If you want to cross the bridge, you have to reduce the weight of the pallet truck, divide it into two parts, and pull the goods across the bridge.

This pontoon bridge was built by the villagers of Yanyan Village, and every day an elderly villager is responsible for collecting fees at the pontoon head near the tea city.

This fee is not cheap, it is charged for everyone outside Yanyan Village, one person at a time.

Fortunately, there are not many outsiders who cross the bridge every day, and most people will detour to the Chajiang Bridge when they have something.

Otherwise, just by collecting bridge tolls, the people of Yanyan Village will make a lot of money.

According to the current prices and wages, a bridge toll of one or two cents is still more appropriate, and a dime at a time is too expensive.

"Sixty cents."

Wang Qiang rode a tricycle to the front of the pontoon bridge, and an old man of about 60 years old sitting next to him said.

"There are five of us, why six cents?"

Wanyu asked puzzled.

"Tricycle a dime."

This villager from Yanyan Village obviously didn't know Wang Qiang, and said with an expressionless face.

"Tricycles also cost money?" Wanyu was a little confused.

Well, that sounds reasonable.

"Here you go."

Wang Qiang didn't want to argue with the other party, so he took out a few loose coins from his trouser pocket, counted six cents and handed them to the other party.

"Except for the cyclist, who can ride across the bridge on the bike, the other people on the bike, along with the two big dogs, must get off the bike and then cross the bridge."

The old man who charged the fee said again.

"Uh...... All right. ”

The four little girls sitting in the back compartment were stunned, and then got off the tricycle one by one.

It wasn't until Da Bai and Xiao Hei who came with them that they got off the tricycle that Wang Qiang and his party were finally allowed to pass.

Fortunately, two big dogs, there is no need for bridge tolls.

Otherwise, even Wang Qiang would be depressed.

Wang Qiang slowly rode the tricycle in front, and the wheels pressed against the wooden planks on the bridge deck, making a "pop" sound.

The four girls with the two big dogs followed on foot, and after spending a few minutes, crossed the pontoon bridge.

"Let's go to the river bank on the left, about fifty meters, and we will be the destination for today."

After crossing the bridge, Wang Qiang also got off the tricycle and said to his sisters.

"Oh." ……

A few girls followed Wang Qiang, pushed a tricycle along the riverbank, bypassed a few big camphor trees on the riverbank, and their eyes were bright.

Ahead is a high mountain cliff, 90 degrees vertical.

Below the cliff is a deep green river that looks like it is bottomless.

Miraculously, under this cliff, there is a natural wharf formed by a large bluestone, which is about five meters deep into the river.

In the front part of the pier, there is a large bluestone standing tall, which is very similar to a fisherman wearing a hat and a cloak sitting on the ground.

In the hand of this natural stone statue, there is a fishingrod-shaped arched bluestone, which sticks out about five meters forward, and there is a slender stone pillar that goes straight down and submerges into the river.

This natural stone statue of a fisherman, even his facial features and limbs, are lifelike!

From a distance, it looks exactly like a fisherman fishing on the pier under the cliff!

Although this bluestone statue is a little taller, about ten meters high and about six meters wide.

At first glance, it looks like a giant fisherman, fishing on the bluestone pier here, and suddenly being petrified by spells, no different from a real person.

Together with the fishing rod he held in his hand and the fishing line on the fishing rod, it was also vivid.

This is one of the eight major scenery of the tea city since ancient times: Yanyan fishing.

"This stone statue is so realistic!"

"This big stone statue is not bad compared to the bluestone statues carved by my brother!"

"It's rare that it's naturally occurring, not artificial."

"Nature is amazing!" ……

This natural bluestone statue is so lifelike.

Let the four little girls who are accustomed to seeing the bluestone statues on Dacha Mountain all exclaim, you can imagine how realistic it is!

"It's a real natural wonder!"

Wang Qiang was fascinated, and it took a while before he came back to his senses and praised him.

Sure enough, none of the eight major scenery of the tea city is simple.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have believed that there are such realistic natural stone statues in the world.

"In the memory of later generations, the dog thing that blew up the Eight Great Scenes of the Tea City really deserves a thousand cuts!"

Thinking of the memory obtained from the fusion, the dog official who took over the position of Director Xiao seven or eight years later, and then took the opportunity of building the Yanyan Bridge to order the blow up of this natural wonder, Wang Qiang gritted his teeth with hatred.

Hatred is hatred, but you have destroyed all the natural wonders of the tea city, what is this?

Is it to destroy the feng shui of the tea city?

I guess that's the only reason.

The Yanyan Bridge built in later generations is more than 100 meters away from here, and this natural stone statue is not in the way at all.

It is really Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.

"Hey......"

Wang Qiang let out a long sigh, was silent, and stood quietly for a while.

I hope that what I have done can make a huge difference to the future of the tea city.

However, as a master stonemason, he was very interested in this natural stone statue.

At this moment, he made a decision: to copy a set of the eight major scenery of the tea city in his own ecological farm and place it in a suitable place.

Lest if the inertia of history is too great, these eight natural wonders of the tea city still can't escape the end of being completely destroyed, it will be too painful.

With a decision in his heart, Wang Qiang stepped forward and looked at this natural stone statue carefully.

In order to replicate this natural wonder, meticulous observation is essential.

It's a lot more complicated than building a normal bluestone statue.

Without it, this kind of magic in nature has a charm.
