Although Zheng Quqi has a natural strange ability, he has indeed never done the work of forging and quarrying.

However, isn't it a high-level job that the county spends a lot of money on recruiting? Do they still have to be in charge of the quarry, as a stone farmer to clear the land and chisel the stone?

Forget it, it's useless to think too much about these things, and wait until you get to Gui Shan Ridge before you have the opportunity to act.

"Where's Autumn?" She asked.

The two of them slowly sat at the end of the craftsman's line, distanced themselves from the people in front of them, and talked quietly.

Shan Bian smoothed his curly beard with his fingers and said, "He said that when he found an opportunity, he would mix in with the hard labor." ”

Zheng Quqi had already guessed that things would evolve like this, so he was not surprised.

As far as their thunderous iron triangle is concerned, it is destined that no one will be able to break up for a while.

"You just said you don't know how to work as a stonemason, so how did you get in?" She wondered.

Shan Bian raised his chin: "I secretly used some connections." ”

Zheng Quqi suddenly looked at him with a look that had listened to the "sand sculpture joke": "If you have a relationship, you won't find a separate job, why do you want to be a fake stonemason who doesn't know anything?" ”

Speaking of this, Shan Bian was also aggrieved: "Do you think I want to come and do this tiring work, it's not that Qu Shi is looking for Qiu to bring me a message——"

Halfway through speaking, Shan Bian shut up vigilantly, and finally held back a sentence: "In short, everything is for the task." ”

Qu Shi?

There was another person she didn't know, but he and Qiu did.

This Qu Shi must be a member of the Mo family, and he only saw Qiu, and all the tasks were handed over to Shan Bian, no matter how dull she was, she understood that daring was to prevent her from being alone.

Oh, no wonder people "Sang Xuanqing" choose to mutiny, as far as they are an illegal terrorist organization, they also engage in internal division and isolation, concealment and use, and who will not be blackened!

"Alright, no need to say it."

She looked a little indifferent.

Shan Bian looked at her with his eyes, and he didn't know what to explain to her for a while, his expression was a little embarrassed and tangled, and both of them were silent for a while.

——

When they reached the boundary of the Ghost Ridge, the mountain waves were crushing, wet and cold, and the cold mist shrouded the entire halfway up the mountain, like a silver snake winding and sliding.

Zheng Quqi walked over the mountain road, covered in sweat, and did not feel cold.

She looked up at the rolling hills, and felt that the shape of the mountains was very different from what she had seen on the plains.

Just looking at it from a distance on other hillsides, I only feel that it is majestic, with less green cover, and more white and brown exposed soil and stones.

But when I got closer, at the foot of the mountain, it was very layered and chaotic, and it seemed that it could fall down at any moment.

But it's all delusion.

The stonemasons were all arranged to be in the makeshift shanty in the valley, and then the government soldiers came to organize the personnel to arrange the preliminary cleaning work assigned by the above - moving the rocks.

Zheng Quqi finally determined that these people really belong to the category of having to do everything, don't think that the money of the government is easy to earn, it is all in exchange for sweat and labor.

Of course, the two master craftsmen of Jixia Academy, Yuan Sui and Silver Owl, naturally don't have to do this.

Their position is equivalent to that of engineers and technicians who are responsible for designing, organizing, and supervising the construction of the construction.

To put it bluntly, this work was done by Zheng Quqi before.

But now, she has washed her number again, and her level is not enough, so she can only be a construction worker at the most basic level.

After resting for the night, when the sky was slightly clear, they were woken up by the sound of gongs, and the government soldiers asked them to go to the vicinity of Pheasant Mountain on Guiqi Slope before it was completely dawn to clear out the ruins of the collapsed city wall.

Leave the stones that are ready to use, and remove those that are broken and destroyed, so as not to delay the next work to be repaired.

"Hurry up to clean up the city wall ditch, and in two days the original master and the silver master will come to inspect and survey the construction, and the county order said that their project must not be delayed!" The soldiers held the hilts of their swords and shouted warnings to the craftsmen.

"The second-level stonemasons (specialists) go to the quarry to dig stones, and the rest of the personnel and laborers are responsible for carrying the stones!"

The level of craftsmen is from high to low, and is divided into: family, teacher, craftsman, and worker.

A worker is an ordinary worker, regardless of rank.

Starting from the craftsman, there are levels.

Craftsmen are divided into two levels, namely first-level apprentices and second-level expertise.

The master is a first-level craftsman, a second-level craftsman, and a third-level grandmaster.

Family, everyone, basically to the level of "everyone", all belong to the top leaders of craftsmen of various types of work.

These are all popular science that Shan Bian did for Zheng Quqi on the road.

The "second-level stonemason" shouted by the government soldiers just now is the second-level expertise of the "craftsman" level.

And the quarry was led by the soldiers yesterday, and it was at the location of a cliff.

Because of the quality of the rocks, many craftsmen used to go to the quarries to dig up stone bars and slabs when building various fortifications, so what was left there was a mountain full of holes.

Since Zheng Quqi has no rating, she naturally belongs to the lowest hanging, so she has to move stones, and of course Shan Bian who came in by relationship is the same.

The two walked to the southwest corner of the Pheasant Mountain city wall, which the locals do not call "Pheasant Mountain" by its scientific name, but "Chicken Foot Mountain" according to its appearance.

The mountain walls here extend to the west, and eventually form the two commanding heights of the south and west, which are the pavilion barriers.

And the Guiqi Ridge is the collapse of Jijiao Mountain, and how long the distance has to be repaired, Zheng Quqi has not surveyed, and he has no time to take a good look at what level of craftsmanship this Yeguo city wall is.

Because she was being watched by the government soldiers, she carried a bamboo basket to carry the rocks knocked down by the mountain one by one.

In the past, I had only heard people sigh so much, and she echoed the suffering of the working people, but she had never experienced it so personally now, and after feeling it firsthand, she let out a voice from the bottom of her heart.

-- The working people are miserable.

Although her strength is great, her physical strength is not unlimited.

It was easy at first, but not later.

But that's just what she thinks, in the eyes of other muscular men, she doesn't look like a normal person!

The short and thin back, and the basket full of stones behind her, were estimated to be several times heavier than herself, but every trip was like a little whirlwind, and they forgot how much of their labor was taller than her.

Their eyes widened and they were dumbfounded.

How did her small body carry all this weight?

Shan Bian was also red with envy and jealousy, and he panted and asked, "How do you usually exercise, are all the bones on your body made of iron?" ”

Zheng Quqi disgusted that the sweat on his body was about to throw on her face, and quickly dodged a little: "I'm short and capable, not like you five big and three thick, but it's all empty, stop talking, I'm afraid you won't be able to breathe in the next second." ”

Zheng Quqi held up the long back basket and sped away.

"Yo hey!"

The others didn't know whether they were angry with Zheng Quqi's words to scare Shan Bian, or they were stimulated by her relaxed posture, in order to prove that they were not thin dogs and false men, they all ran at full speed, scrambling to be the first.

Zheng Quqi was speechless when he saw these laborers that looked like they had been beaten with chicken blood.

What are they robbing of this kind of hard work, thinking that they are robbing filial piety hats?

She ran back and forth so many times just now, and she was worried that she would get wet and lose her makeup if she sweated too much, so she stopped and carefully wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve and rested for a while.

The overseer's soldiers saw it, but they didn't see her like others, and when they saw her being lazy, they stepped forward to scold and urge.

The main reason is that she really worked hard, and her work efficiency is also very high, and it also drives the "efficiency" of others.

They were all amazed by her body, and for the first time understood what it meant to be "a small body with great power".

I really can't see it, I really can't see it!

Zheng Quqi, who had just poured a sip of water, suddenly heard a panicked scream coming from nowhere.

"Something is wrong, the wall of Jijiao Mountain is unstable, and it has collapsed again, I heard that the stone fell and hit someone, you hurry up and save people!"

When Zheng Quqi heard this, he frowned slightly.

In the vicinity of a collapsed building like this, the most important thing is to assess the safety level in advance and protect it accordingly, what are the master craftsmen of the Jixia Academy doing?

"Who got smashed?" The government soldier stepped forward and asked.

"I don't know, it seems that there is a county prince, and there is a nobleman, by the way, the master craftsman of the Jixia Academy is also there, I don't know who was hit when it collapsed."

When the government soldiers heard this, they hurriedly waved to the laborers, and shouted urgently: "All the laborers obey the order, immediately follow me to the rescue!" ”

"If something happens to the county lord and the master craftsmen, everyone present will not be able to escape being questioned!"

As soon as this threat of combined punishment came out, all the laborers panicked, quickly unloaded their backpacks, and rushed to Jijiao Mountain with the government soldiers.

"Why did it collapse all of a sudden?" Shan Bian looked puzzled.

Zheng Quqi said: "Once the overall structure splits and loses its support point, it will continue to deform and continue to settle, which is very likely." ”

Shan Bian was stunned when he heard this, and asked her in a daze: "No, what kind of celestial book are you talking about?" ”

Zheng Quqi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore.

As soon as he came to the accident site, he saw a group of people gathered in front of him, moving the fallen stones and soil, and the face of the soldiers changed suddenly, and he hurriedly sent more people to help.

Soon, the county was rescued, he was disgraced, fortunately he was not seriously injured, but his back and shoulders were smashed several times.

Later, a few more people were pulled out one after another.

"Just now, this mountain wall block suddenly smashed down, scared people to death, by the way, how many people were rescued? Just now, there seemed to be a person with not very good eyes standing there, his head was smashed, and he didn't know how to run. ”

Zheng Quqi was bending down to carry the stones, when he heard a person next to him muttering with palpitations.

Someone also saw it: "Yes, I heard someone shouting, but he stood motionless in that corner." ”

Zheng Quqi's heart suddenly tightened, threw down the stone and walked over and asked, "Big brother, what did you just say that people have bad eyes, is it a man wearing a fox green fur?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, but when he saw her anxious and nervous appearance, he recalled: "It's a young man, it seems that he is wearing a very valuable fox fur suit." ”

The young nobleman had bad eyes and wore a fox fur robe......

No, it won't.

It won't be Liu Fengmian, he shouldn't be here......

…… But what if Yu Wensheng sent him over to supervise the work?

After all, the repair of the city wall is also a military defense, and as a general stationed on the border, it is not surprising that he will attach importance to this major event in the county to prepare for the rebuilding of the city wall, right?

Besides, there shouldn't be too many people who can meet these conditions at the same time, but there shouldn't be too many people in Fuxian, just in case......

If it's such a coincidence—

Zheng Quqi was nervous because of the speculation in her heart, she no longer hesitated, turned around sharply and rushed over.

Even Shan Bian wanted to reach out and hold her for the first time, but he didn't have time.

He watched as she rushed into the stone ruins and began to pick up stones with the soldiers.

At this time, a few stones rolled down from above, and someone noticed it, so they hurriedly shouted: "Run, the soil of the city wall is loose, and it will collapse again!" ”

The towering walls began to ruin like powder.

"Ruler—"

Shan Bian was so excited that he couldn't help but call her real name, but fortunately, there was chaos and noise all around, and he didn't notice this exclamation.

As soon as the others heard that the city wall was about to collapse again, they couldn't care about saving people, so they hurriedly evacuated from the dangerous position and fled to safety.

Zheng Quqi didn't leave, and she didn't stop for a moment to search.

Her mind was full of thoughts now.

Could it be Liu Fengmian? Will he be crushed under this pile of rocks and wait for someone to save him?

The others were so frightened that they yelled, and even the county officials didn't care about saving people, so they fled to the side early, but she was the only one who refused to give up the buried person.

"What is she doing?!"

"Run, don't be stupid!"

"I can't save it, it's about to collapse, it's up to you to do it alone! Run, don't stay there and die! ”

There were all kinds of anxious and panicked roars all around, and although Zheng Quqi was panicked, he was not chaotic.

Based on the location described by others, she speculated that if a person was standing in a corner of the wall and was hit by a stone first, but did not run away in the first place, then the position would be offset.

She picked up a stick, determined its approximate location, and lay her ear on the crack in the rock, and cried out loudly.

"Answer me, where are you?"

"If you can't move your body, but you can move your hand a little, touch a rock or something else and hit it with all your might!"

"If you can't even do this, then shout hard, as hard as you can, and I can hear you."

Knock - Knock -

There is a sound!

Knock - Knock -

She found it!

Zheng Quqi's heart lifted heavily, her light-colored pupils were like a converging streamer, and the stars that flew away flashed one after another, and she began to calculate in her mind the angle and force needed to move the covered stones.

There is also the direction and strength of the opponent's knock just now, to determine the general direction of the opponent's position, in case of improper rescue and secondary damage.

"Shut your mouth and nose, I'll get you out right away!"

She took a crowbar, tilted it down forty-five degrees, shifted its bearings, and then, with all her might, pried up the heavy rubble that it would take at least three or four adults to move.

"Uh-"

She gritted her teeth and forced, and finally prying a "hole" out of the crack in the clam stone, and then she saw a bloodstained arm.

"Wind sleep!"

Her body was bowed, her arms trembled, and at this moment, she had almost exhausted all her strength, and then overturned the pile of stones that everyone thought was impossible to pry.

Click!

The stick was torn from the middle position, disconnected.

She shook off the broken wooden stick, as if drenched in sweat, picked up the rubble, dragged the person underneath out, and then broke her face: "Liu Feng-"

Guess who is saving, hehe, who can guess
