Chapter 409: Flowing River
Originally, there was no river in the town of Sanshan.
This is also the embarrassing place of Sanshan Town, most villages and towns pay attention to a mountain and water, there is a water flow through, it is more convenient for everyone to get water on weekdays, there are mountains, in case of a military disaster, you can drill into the mountains - but Sanshan Town is an exception, there are indeed three mountains, but there is no water.
This is also why Sanshan Town is only a small town until now, mainly because the congenital conditions are really not good, not to mention the surrounding rivers, there is not even a serious stream, fortunately, the well can still be pumped out of water, otherwise it is not like a place to live.
But now......
"We have our own river, too?"
The small river outside the inn was already crowded with local townspeople, all of whom were crowded to the edge of the river with pots and pans in their hands, and everyone was obviously ready to scoop up some water and taste it.
The result of tasting is that the water quality is actually okay, not much worse than well water, at least at the level of being able to enter.
And in addition to this, the creek itself is also a bit of a saying.
Normal rivers flow from west to east, which is also the basic common sense of the people, when you really can't find the direction, as long as you can find the stream or river, you can make a general judgment of the direction of the water flow - but this common sense falls on the small river in front of you, it is a bit unworkable.
Just because this small river flows from east to west.
Of course, this statement is actually not very rigorous, strictly speaking, it is more like the river in the distance suddenly branched out, and the stream that forked out was originally going to go east, but it turned around on the edge of the old post station, went around, and went back to the original river - this fork in the road, that is, the small river in front of the people of Sanshan Town, God knows how this thing came out, but the gurgling water in front of him is not fake.
"This ...... Is it a good thing or a bad thing? β
The people of Sanshan Town don't know much about water conservancy, and they don't know if it's a good thing.
But they at least knew that there was one thing that had to be done.
"Let's build the bridge first!"
This is the first reaction of the people after drinking the water.
While it's a good thing that there is living water, this new stream has cut off the road to Sanshan Town diagonallyβof course, strictly speaking, it can't be considered a truncation, and at that depth, if anyone wants to pass it, they can even walk through it. But considering the traffic itself, everyone decided to build a bridge here.
What's more, it's more convenient to repair the bridge at the moment, after all, the old man in the side post station received a big tall man as a cook, just look at the tall and big appearance of the person, a person to that station is taller than two people, big shoulders and round waist, a body of strength, work is more neat than the cow, with such a good hand to help, I am afraid that the bridge repair can not be done casually.
After all, the construction of bridges mainly depends on two aspects, one is called materials, one is called artificial, there are three mountains on the edge of Sanshan Town, there are stones and trees on the mountain, and there is no shortage of materials.
But if there are people who are not ordinary, it will be different?
"What? Repair bridges? β
When the group came to the door, the little giant didn't seem to be awake yet.
"It's just a little thing...... Where to fix it? β
On that day, the people of Sanshan Town saw an unprecedented way to build bridges.
Originally, in the people's expectations, building a wooden bridge is actually about the same, find some wood to build, and it is more convenient to transport the disassembled materials - after all, whether it is Datang Mountain, Kangping Mountain, or Jubao Mountain, which has just buried a mass grave, there is actually a bit of distance from here, and the building materials that are made out are not so easy to transport, and the things that the carriage can pull at one time are also limited.
Of course, considering the durability, it must be better to repair a stone bridge, wood will rot if soaked in water for too long, stone will not, and compared to wood, stone bridges are also stronger - if there is a problem, it is that the stone cutting will be more troublesome, and the cost of pulling it over is relatively high.
"But with this big one, maybe building a slate bridge is not a big deal?"
Thinking about the strong body of the little giant, and then thinking about the stone slabs on the bridge, which were like toys to the little giant, the people suddenly felt that it was not impossible to have more hope.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that the little giant actually moved one, a stone bridge.
It was not a stone slab to build a bridge, but a whole stone bridge, and the people who originally asked the little giant to help go to Kangping Mountain to get stones did not expect that what the little giant brought back was actually a bridge carved from a huge stone.
"Alright, that's it."
The wide and heavy stone bridge was rammed by the little giant on the river, but it was as easy as a plank on the water.
When all this was done, the little giant even yawned.
It was at this time that the people discovered that from the time the little giant was called up to the completion of the bridge, the entire project did not even take more than half an hour.
"So...... Wait, where did this river come from? β
Perhaps because of the cold water splashing on his body, the little giant finally woke up a little.
"Why did this thing pop up all of a sudden?"
No one could answer the little giant's question, after all, the people themselves did not know how the river came out.
But in any case, this is a good thing at the moment, a river flowing backwards, plus a bridge made of a whole stone, this has formed a scene worth looking at - originally the people were going to call this bridge the Giant's Bridge, after all, they all saw that the little giant spent half an hour to get it, but under the little giant's strong resignation, everyone should have changed their name after all, hidden the existence of the little giant, and called the bridge "Night Bridge" instead.
The name "One Night", to put it bluntly, means that this river came out overnight, and no one knows what is going on.
However, the backflow river with a night bridge has a bit of poetic meaning.
Poetry is a good thing, although the people of Sanshan Town can't use it themselves, but those people outside canβso, after only a few days, the reputation of the bridge and the river in one night spread, attracting many literati and ink to come to watch, and even many vassals and elegant Jianghu guests were attracted to the bridge and the river.
Of course, not all the people in the rivers and lakes are here to be vassals and elegant.
There are also some sharp-eyed people in the rivers and lakes who are keenly aware of the problems.
"The river didn't come out of the city overnight."
On this day, a handsome boy with a hand-cranked folding fan walked on the bridge and looked at the river flowing under his feet.
"Do you feel it? Someone has played here before, and it's definitely the best of the best...... The aftermath of their fight was so violent that the river was diverted in the distance, and the backflow of the river appeared. β
ββ¦β¦ What you're talking about is nonsense, bring a dog, and the dog can see it. β
On the side of the handsome boy, the chivalrous man with a long sword at his waist kept shaking his head.
"This kind of anomaly appeared overnight, it must be because of the strong fighting, not to mention the recent whereabouts of the Storm Sword King Wenyuan are unknown, this matter is definitely his ......"
"Wang Wenyuan is a wave-breaking knife, I remember that the wave-breaking knife is Wang Wenshun?"
The handsome boy turned his head.
"Are you mistaken? You must be misremembering, right? β
ββ¦β¦ Do you believe it or not, I'll throw you into the river? β
Faced with the repeated provocations of the handsome son, the swordsman finally couldn't hold back a little.
"Shut your mouth, I've got you covered."
"What can you ...... right?"
He was only halfway through his words, but the handsome boy closed his mouth knowingly.
It's just because he saw a rare serious look on the face of this swordsman.
This kind of look is rare, after all, with this swordsman's skills, there are few people in the world who can make him serious - but right now, this swordsman is not only extremely serious, but even leaned down and closed his eyes, carefully stroking the stone bridge under his feet.
"This bridge...... Is there something wrong? β
The handsome boy also frowned slightly.
"This is obviously also the ...... of the masters"
"Nonsense."
The swordsman waved his hand and motioned for the handsome boy to shut his mouth.
It's really nonsense, a bridge carved out of a whole stone, this kind of thing leads a dog, and the dog can see that this is definitely done by a master - just because ordinary people can't do this kind of thing, and the transportation cost alone is not something ordinary people can afford.
Only those evil qi masters can master such a huge power, and blast a large piece of rock that originally did not belong here, all the way here.
However, is it really a bombardment?
"No, the technology should be more delicate."
The swordsman carefully sensed the stone bridge under his feet.
Yes, it is definitely a more delicate technique, after all, although the power of the evil qi masters is fierce enough, it is also too uncontrollable, and it may be easy to destroy a stone with that huge force, but it is almost impossible to use it to carry a stone - the reason why it is said is almost, that is, it means that there are still people who can do it, but this kind of thing is extremely difficult, and only the top evil qi masters can have such exquisite control.
"It's like being carried all the way over......"
The swordsman's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
Such a delicate control, this is not at all something that a master of evil qi can do, this kind of force control is too delicate, and its difficulty is almost inhuman.
Of course, there is another possibility.
"That is, the other party is not using evil qi."
Thinking of this, the swordsman couldn't help but raise his head and look at the river under the bridge.
Speaking of the river, then I have to mention Wang Wenyuan, the Storm Knife, or Wang Wenshun, anyway, he didn't remember the names of these brothers. However, although he couldn't remember the awkward names, he had already heard of the amazing technology.
I heard that this Storm Knife, in addition to the evil qi, has taken a different path.
At one time, he was still puzzled about how different this so-called different road could be, but now looking at this water and this bridge, the swordsman vaguely seemed to understand something.
"That's a completely different path from evil spirits...... Or rather, the nature of evil spirits. β
Thinking of this, the swordsman sighed softly.
He originally thought that he was the only one who had seen through the root of the evil spirit.
But now, it seems that he underestimated the heroes of the world!
"Remarkable...... It's remarkable. β
Thinking like this, when the swordsman looked at the river under his feet again, his eyes had changed.
It's not looking at the river anymore, it's more like looking at a rising star!
"So who's so awesome you're talking about?"
The handsome boy smiled embarrassedly.
"Gee, are you talking about me? It's really ......."
"You shut your mouth for me."
The swordsman finally couldn't help it, and raised his hand to throw the handsome boy into the river.
But who would have thought that although the handsome boy was frivolous, his kung fu was not bad, just a few twists, he was directly out of the control of the swordsman, and then with a blow of the folding fan, he was going to knock the swordsman down to the bottom of the water in turn!
"Good time!"
The swordsman also picked up the sheathed sword in his arms, and the two of them got into a fight.
This may be the life of the masters, and the occasional fight is as common for them as eating and drinking - but for those who pass by, it is a nuisance.
Originally, when there was no river here, there were really people fighting on the road, and it was a big deal that everyone went around in a circle a little and passed, but now there is more river to cut off the road, and the two Jianghu guests are fighting on the bridge, which directly cuts off the road for everyone to pass, and the people who come and go are so angry that they dare not speak.
That's really unspeakable, if it were the ruffians and hooligans in the town, they might dare to scold the street, but these Jianghu people, they really hold blades, and they will really kill.
Don't say anything else, just fight like this right now, in case whoever goes up and says two words, and is slashed to death by a sword, after the fight is finished, there will be a sentence "The sword has no eyes, who let you come over by yourself", and then it will be considered a vain death when it dies, and there is no place to reason, what can I do?
"There's got to be a solution!"
Thinking like this, the local people with bright brains simply plunged into the post station on the side.
After the previous bridge repair, the local people have a little impression of the little giant, and now that there is trouble, the first thing they think of is the little giant - anyway, the little giant is standing there taller than two people alone, and it looks like he can fight, so there will be no problem with such a fierce man going to persuade him to fight, right?
But what these people didn't expect was that the little giant shook his head.
"There's no need to persuade them to fight, just let them fight."
Faced with the pleas of the people, the little giant scratched his head.
"This kind of thing is persuaded once, and there will be a second time, if I want to say that it is better to find a separate place for them to fight...... Well, I'm going to have to fix it this time anyway, right? Okay, I'll ask someone else for a favor. β
