Chapter 427: The Boulder Blocks the Way (Asking for a Subscription and Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The diameter of the stone is at least two or three meters! Not to mention that there are a lot of gravel and twigs and clods along the way.
If you smash them down, they'll all be pulp!
If it was only them, then they would definitely hide in the space as soon as possible.
But now there are Chen Jinshi and others behind, and they must have to find another way, the problem is that this road can only go forward or backward, and they can't avoid it against the mountain wall.
Even if the people dodged, the cattle would have to be injured a little, and the cars would have to be overhauled.
At this time, it must be too late to retreat, and it is not like a car that can be put in reverse gear, and there are three cars behind it.
Gold made a decision in an instant, and shouted backwards to stop them from moving forward, because it looked at it, and the car behind it had not yet entered the range of the boulder, but their car was more dangerous.
Seeing that they obediently stopped the car, it had already flung the reins as it shouted, causing the bear to speed forward.
This will try to avoid the large rock, and the rubble and branches will be at least not as lethal.
Besides, they can also take advantage of the chaos to put some gravel into the space, try to avoid hitting them and vehicles, the big rocks are too conspicuous, and the gravel and clods are still okay.
Now I hope that Chen Jinshi and Xia Xinman can control their horses and cows, and if they are shocked, they will be very troublesome.
The big bear is still very powerful, and there is really nothing in their carriage, and it is all contained in the space, so they still narrowly avoided the big rock.
Tilt Yan looked at it with her senses, and collected some of the rubble and clods of dirt that would have hurt them or the three cars behind her into her own space.
Some scattered clods of soil and small branches are left unmanaged, and they can't be smashed at all, which is too weird. Listening to a loud noise not far behind, the ground was shaken.
They stopped the car and looked over, and the road behind them had been blocked by the stone, and it seemed that her visual inspection was still wrong, the stone had to be four or five meters in diameter, blocking the road to death.
It's raining, and it's all mud, and if it's dry, it's going to be dusty.
This time it also taught Qian Yan and Gold a lesson, in the future, you can't just look at the front, you should also pay attention to the left and right and the back, it is best to watch the six roads and listen to the eight directions.
If you knew in advance this time, not to mention that you could stop and dodge in advance, you could also let the ugly ugly receive the stone into the space in advance.
It's also a way to teach them to be good.
When there were no gravels and branches falling again, Xia Xinman's voice came from there.
I only heard him shouting over there: "Brother Huang! Miss Xue! Are you all okay? Are there any injuries? ”
Tilt Yan probed her sense and found that they were all standing on the side of the boulder, looking worried.
It should be Xia Xinman's loud voice, so let him shout here to ask about the situation.
Gold also replied loudly: "It's okay! We dodged and were not hurt.
This side is blocked by this stone, you can't get through here, do you know that there is another way to get around? ”
Or Xia Xinman replied: "No, there are paths that can be bypassed in other places, but there is no here, these two mountains are big and steep, stretching for dozens of miles, not to mention, I heard that there are fierce beasts on the mountain, but there are no livestock carts, and we don't dare to go up the mountain." ”
Of course, if there were no cattle carts, they would not have to go up the mountain, they could climb directly from the boulders.
Gold looked to the left and right, and the mountains on both sides were indeed quite steep, and the cattle carts could not go up at all.
It picked up a thick tree trunk on the ground that had been brought down by a boulder and stuck it under the stone to see if it could pry it off.
Qian Yan looked at it a little speechlessly, although it still knew the principle of leverage, which was very commendable, but it didn't look at the stone stuck there almost seamlessly, even if it could be pried, where could it be pryed?
Qian Yan thought for a while, and said to the three people on the other side of the stone: "Do you have a wooden barrel over there?" ”
Xia Xinman: "Yes, we all have wooden barrels in the car. ”
This is used to feed water to cattle on the road, and it is usually carried at all times.
Tilt Yan nodded, now that the rain was very small, it had returned to that mist feeling, which was convenient for her to implement her ideas, otherwise she would have to wait.
Then he said to the gold, "Don't waste your efforts there, this stone is so big that it can't be moved."
So you go and pick up some dead branches nearby, and the two of us climb up to the rock, and light a fire on top of it, and then light another fire under the stone, and when the stone burns to a certain extent, pour a bucket of cold water on it, and the stone will crack at once.
When the time comes, we just need to move the broken stones away, and the road will be cleared. ”
Jin Jin was a little puzzled and said, "Is this useful?" And there's still some water under the stone, so I'm afraid it's not easy to light it. ”
Qian Yan nodded, "You just listen to me, it will definitely work, and that little bit of stagnant water will not be difficult for us, when the time comes, just put some gravel on the gravel and light a fire on the gravel." ”
Tilt Yan explained to it as she held the charcoal outside.
Gold's eyes lit up when he heard this, there was still this method, and it was thinking about whether to use any talisman just now.
To be honest, it's just inconvenient now, there are three people watching in the back, they can't use any supernatural means, otherwise it's not impossible to just take away this stone or break it directly.
But if that's the case, it's a little scary, if this method works, then it's the best, if it really doesn't work, it can also use this method to quietly put a blasting charm on the stone and blow it up directly.
The stones rolled down from it and brought a lot of muddy water, and they had to be careful when they wanted to go up, not only because they would stain their clothes, but also because they would be slippery.
The stones are a little square, and they don't have too many points of focus, but it's not enough to get rid of the two of Tilt Yan and Gold, and their skills are still okay.
Tilt Yan directly ran up, three or two steps onto the stone, and then the gold threw a sack of charcoal up, and waited for Tilt Yan to catch it on it, and then it went to pick up dead branches nearby.
Chen Jinshi and the three of them stood under the stone, and when they saw that Qian Yan had gone up to the stone with a sack, he said with some confusion: "Miss Xue, why did you go up to the stone?" But what method did you come up with? ”
She hadn't heard her voice with Jin yet, so she told them the method she had come up with again.
The three of them were a little surprised, they had not heard of this method to break the stone, but Uncle Chen, the driver who was watching the car over there, came over and said: "I have heard my neighbor's grandfather say this method before, he was requisitioned to open a mountain to build a road, and when he encountered a huge stone blocking the road, he could not continue, so an old stonemason used this method.
It's just that I was only a teenager at that time, and I just listened to it, but I didn't expect it to be used here, and the girl is really talented. ”
"Miss Xue is indeed well-informed, I am really ashamed...... Chen Jinshi and the three of them also praised one after another.
Qian Yan said modestly: "I also heard the old man in the family say that I remembered, I don't know if it's useful, let's try it." ”
"Okay."
"Okay, let's go fetch water."
"I'm going to pick up dead branches."
"I'm going to build a small platform underneath the gravel......"
Several people responded.
After saying that, Xia Xinman and Xiao Qingfeng went to the creek not far away to fetch water, although there was standing water on the ground, it was not enough to fill the bucket, so they had to walk for a while to the creek they had passed by before.
She took out the flint and charcoal and started to light the fire, and when the charcoal was on fire, she put the branches she had picked up on the charcoal fire.
The gold was picked up from some nearby rain-soaked place, and though it wasn't dry, at least not wet.
Put them on a charcoal fire, and when the charcoal fire dries the moisture on the wood, they will naturally light it.
It is definitely not possible to burn charcoal alone, although it was said that they had charcoal in the car when they roasted the bamboo, but it should not be used too unlimitedly, this big sack is already considered the limit, and it is a bit too much to take it out.
When the fire grew stronger and stronger, and became a large fire, they moved some of the stones that were laid on both sides and let them burn the sides.
So they lit three fires, a large fire on top of the stone in the middle, and then a pile on the front and back.
There is no point near the mountain wall, so they are afraid that if the mountain wall is blown up, and then they will continue to fall stones from above, then they will increase the difficulty for themselves, and the road will not be blocked.
The three fires were all made with thick trunks, and they waited farther away, and then watered them when they were almost burning.
After almost half an hour of burning, Qian Yan felt that it should be almost over, and when she was about to let Chen Jinshi and them water both sides at the same time, a thunder sounded in the sky, startling them.
Then she felt the raindrops of beans falling, and she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted: "Stay away from this stone!" Let's all go to the car to hide from the rain, this rain is so big, maybe we don't have to splash water! ”
Don't say it, it's really good.
When they all returned to the car to take shelter from the rain, the rain became heavier and heavier, and Qian Yan looked at the stone from the car, because there was a distance, she was paying attention with her divine sense.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and after the fire was extinguished, the rain poured directly on the stone, and under the alternation of hot and cold, I heard a crackling sound from the stone, and soon cracks began to appear!
Listening to the clicking sound of the stone bursting, she clenched her fist and it was done!
As long as it cracks, even if it doesn't break into pieces, they will be able to break the stone at that time, and this is just a cover, at least Chen Jinshi can't see it.
As a result, without their hands at all, the stone cracked on its own, and the fire above burned for a long time, so there were more cracks on it.
Of course, there were also on both sides, after all, the flames on both sides of the fire were relatively high at that time, and the stones on both sides were burned red.
At first, it was a small stone, and then it became a large one, obviously Chen Jinshi and their side also saw it, and Qian Yan heard their cheers.
However, the rain was heavy, and it was difficult for them to go out to collect the stones, so they had to wait for a while.
Fortunately, Xia Xinman made a shed before, and now it is not raining, so they stay in the shed.
After another hour or so, nearly two hours, the rain was light and turned into a drizzle, and they went out.
Everyone is wearing a coat, after all, it's not good to work with an umbrella, and it's not good to wear a coat, it's still cold now, and it's really going to get wet, so you will really catch a cold.
Tilt Yan thought of coming up with an idea before, using oilcloth to make a raincoat, but this oilcloth is not like the kind of material made of rubber, the waterproof performance is not so good, the whole oilcloth may be okay, if it is made into clothes, as long as it is sewn, the stitched place will leak rain, it is better to wear a piece of oilcloth.
Of course, the clothes are not too good, but it is okay to walk, and it is a bit of a hindrance to move things or something.
Because the back and left and right are supported, it is good to block the rain, but when you work, it is a little in the way, but fortunately it is not raining much now, as long as you block the head and back shoulders, you can't get drenched if you bend a little in front.
Jin Jin and Qian Yan walked over first, secretly using force to make the stone crack directly crack into gravel, and then wait for Chen Jinshi and them to come over and move to both sides of the road together.
At this time, Qian Yan heard the sound of horses' hooves and wheels rolling from her side, and she continued to carry the stone in her hand without looking back, and probed directly with her divine sense.
I found that there were three carriages here, it seemed that they should be together, there were no goods on the carriages, and there were two people sitting in each carriage, men and women, old and young, it should be a family.
Soon, three carriages arrived at their side, and by this time there were still a few broken stones that had not been moved, all of which were relatively large.
They used to move some small pieces, and the remaining pieces had to be at least two or three hundred catties, and they were ready to lift them to the side if they could lift them, and if they couldn't lift them, they would boil them again and water them.
When the carriages arrived, Chen Jinshi and the others stopped their movements when they heard the sound and looked over there.
Then two people got out of each of the three cars, and a total of six people came down, three of them were driving the car, and there were three people sitting in the car.
Only one of the cars in front of them was a woman, and the others were men.
The age of the three drivers is about twenty or thirty years old, and it looks like this, it should be a part-time driver for guards, because Qian Yan found that they have a kind of temperament of practicing family.
The other two men are relatively young, they should be around seventeen or eighteen years old, anyway, within twenty years old, they are somewhat similar to the middle-aged woman in front of them, they should be her son or younger brother.
The group came this way, and the woman walked in front, and it seemed that she should be in charge.
I saw that she led someone to step forward and take a look at the situation on their side, especially when she saw the traces of burning on the ground, she raised her eyebrows, and directly ordered: "You guys also go and help." ”
The five men answered yes, and without saying a word, they came over to help carry the stones.
Tilt Yan nodded at her, even if she said hello, she didn't say thank you or anything, after all, this is not what they should do, and if you want to go over when blocking the road, everyone should contribute, right.
