Chapter 344: Wooden Bridge

"Huh?" Wang Da was stunned.

"Just now you asked us to make it convenient, but you broke our rules, so I'm sorry, now I want to cross the bridge, two hundred taels per person." The man said with a smile.

"Aren't you robbing openly? Even if you can't make a counteroffer, how can you still sit on the ground and start the price? ”

"But if you love it, if you talk nonsense, we will only have three hundred taels." The man still said indifferently.

"! You've gone too far! Wang Da was immediately furious.

"What for! If you don't ask whose territory this is, you want to make trouble, and you really don't want to live here! The man with the plank stood up directly, and behind him, the people in the shed also stood up.

The brothers of the Wang family in the distance saw that their eldest brother was surrounded, so they hurriedly dismounted and rushed over.

"It seems that the customs of this place are not very good." Dowling chuckled and jumped out of the carriage.

"Don't go, I'll go!" Quit also jumped out of the car and stopped Dowling.

Dowling nodded and sat back in the car.

Quit drinking and walk towards the bridge.

At this time, the Wang brothers had already pushed each other together, and they were about to fight.

"Amitabha, everyone is dissipated, and there is something to discuss!" Quit Drinking made his way through the crowd and stood between the two parties.

"There's something special to discuss! We built this bridge, what's the charge? If you want to cross, follow our rules, but it's fine, five miles further on, there is a bridge, which is free, you can go and see it. The other party saw a monk, and when he saw that the monk was extraordinary, he also sent his mouth.

"Thank you for your understanding." Qu Jiu waved his hand at the Wang brothers, and then took out a silver piece of ten taels from his arms and handed it to the person who spoke.

The man took the silver, put it on the mat, and put it away with satisfaction.

Before quitting alcohol and taking the Wang brothers back to the carriage, Dowling glanced at the angry Wang brothers, and then asked to quit drinking, "What's the situation?" ”

"A group of people who have made a fortune by collecting fees, but I have already done it just now, and they said that there is a free bridge five miles further on, let's cross it from there." Quit said with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, there's nothing to be angry with these little ruffians, let's hurry up and get on the road." After Dowling comforted the Wang brothers, everyone set off and continued to walk west.

"These fools, you'll have to come back in a moment, bring that plank." The person who was talking to him looked at the departing procession and ordered with a wicked smile.

Immediately, a little brother took another plank and walked over.

Ten words were written on the wooden board in cinnabar: Collect bridge tolls, five hundred taels per person.

Dowling and the others walked about five miles to the west, and when they saw a wooden bridge spanning both sides of the cliff.

There were still people passing on the wooden bridge, and everyone was overjoyed, and the group of people in Xindao still had a little conscience and didn't lie to them.

But when they came to the bridge, they were stunned, the bridge was indeed standing here, and it was obvious that the bridge was impassable.

Even if the cable is worn out, even the wooden planks are missing pieces and nails, and people will crunch when they walk on it, and this bridge is obviously in disrepair, not to mention the carriage, it is extremely difficult for people to pass safely.

Dowling and Drunkard jumped out of the carriage and headed for the bridge, where they needed to find out if the bridge was still passable.

happened to meet an old man carrying firewood walking in the distance, and Dowling walked over with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, let me ask, how can this bridge be like this? Can I still pass the car? Dowling asked politely.

"You're coming from the east." The old man carrying firewood squatted down slightly and put down the bundle of firewood behind his back.

Dowling hurriedly went up to help, dragging the firewood and gently placing it on the ground.

"Thank you, lad." The uncle said gratefully to Dowling, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel hanging from his shoulder.

"Uncle, we did come from the east, and the bridge toll was collected there, but the price was too high, so we came here in desperation." Dowling nodded yes, and then gave Qu Shan a look.

Quit the wine nodded, took out the wine gourd and a sea bowl, and poured a bowl of wine for the uncle.

The uncle smelled the wine, and his face suddenly showed a smile.

"Little second, I've never drunk such a good wine in my life, the two of you are really good people." The uncle was not ambiguous, and after thanking him, he took the sea bowl and drank it in a big gulp.

"What a good wine!" The uncle touched his mouth and praised.

Neither Dowling nor Quit Alcohol urged, and waited for the uncle to drink the wine before asking again.

"You fell into the trap of those people, they told you that there is a bridge here to cross, just to make you run for nothing, this bridge is not to mention horses, people walk up and not fall down is considered a great luck, this bridge more or less a year has to die so many dozen people, hey......" the uncle said and sighed.

"Then why is this bridge so broken?" Dowling asked with a frown.

"Hmph... This bridge was originally good, I followed my father from this bridge when I was a child, this bridge is at least a few decades old, originally good, took over such a group of people, they built an iron bridge in the east, and destroyed this wooden bridge. ”

"On the bright side, this bridge can still walk, but who knows if the board is loose or not, if you don't step on it, it will break, and people will fall down and die."

"Originally, we also planned to pass over there, but the locals cost ten taels of silver once they passed, and ten taels of silver and twenty taels of silver when they went back, how many years can we earn so much money, there is no way, we can only cross this broken bridge."

"Many people in our village died on this bridge."

Listening to the words of the uncle, Daolin's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Then you can build this bridge on your own." Dowling said.

"Repair? How could that group of people possibly let us cultivate? We repaired once and destroyed them once, and even had several conflicts, but they were all warriors, and there were big forces behind them, so we couldn't fight them. The uncle said with a bitter face.

"Does the county care? As long as they step forward, they should be able to solve the problem. Quit asked.

"How can they care about the life and death of our little people, and we won't make profits for them, hey......" The uncle sighed, and after saying that, he squatted down and put the firewood on his back and walked towards the wooden bridge.

Looking at the uncle's bleak back, Daolin sighed and walked with the carriage of the drunken-quit township.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of wood breaking, followed by a scream.

When Dao Lin and Qu Shan heard the sound, they saw a figure falling down the cliff, and there was still the figure of the uncle on the wooden bridge.

The two of them were shocked, and hurriedly used their skills to rush towards the edge of the cliff, neither of them hesitated, and jumped directly towards the bottom of the cliff.

But no matter how fast they are, there is a time difference, they are in mid-air, and they can only watch the uncle fall hard at the bottom of the cliff and burst a red flower.
