But the imaginary scene did not appear, when the head man was jumped up by Lu Xihua and pinched his neck, the horses behind him were startled, and several people on the horse took out their guns and shot at Lu Xihua, and the others raised their knives and slashed. The final result was of course that all of them were killed, Lu Xihua asked from the leader, they were preparing to kidnap Li Bing and ask Li Laocai for ransom, they saw Li Bing following the ox cart at noon in the village, and several people on the car were dressed in Western clothes and looked very rich, so they wanted to make a vote.

Lu Xihua didn't bother to care who the eyeliner in their village was, the scale of this gang of bandits was not large, only about 20 people, three or five guns, and they had never dared to rob the village, after receiving the news that the young master of the Li family had returned home, he sent the village eyeliner to star, knowing that Lu Xihua and others were visiting. That's why I took advantage of the fact that the young master of the Li family came out alone to prepare to start, and was ready to do it with Lu Xihua and the others. It is conceivable that the fate of Lu Xihua and the three of them being caught by this gang of bandits is that they are all strangers, no one will come to redeem them, Lu Xihua will definitely be killed, Han Caier and Guo Wen naturally don't need to say much.

This time, Lu Xihua killed seven or eight bandits who came out, and there were only a dozen or so people left in the mountains.

When Lu Xihua rode a horse and followed seven horses to catch up with the ox cart, less than half an hour passed.

Li Bing looked at Lu Xihua with a stammering mouth, beckoning him to get out of the car, and when they rode together, he shouted, "Big brother, where have you gone so far? Here are eight horses, tell me quickly, and I will pick up a few too." ”

Lu Xihua said with a smile, "If Little Brother Li wants to pick up horses, he has to go to the mountains, and there are many bandit dens." ”

When Li Bing heard Lu Xihua say this, he hurriedly said, "Big brother has met bandits?

Han Cai'er and Guo Wen have more or less seen Lu Xihua's magic, one day and one night, driving 2,500 kilometers to get heads, how can such a person not even be able to handle a few bandits.

Lu Xihua smiled, "No, they passed by and wanted to rob me, but I persuaded them to change their minds and become a new man, so they left the horses to me." ”

Li Bing said speechlessly, "Big brother, do you think I'm a student, so deceitful? As he spoke, he rolled over and got on his horse. The bandit's horse is not a tall horse, it is generally large, it does not run fast but it is hard-working, has long endurance, and can cross mountains and mountains, and it is a good foot force. It was easy for Li Bing to get on the horse and ride slowly, it was much better than walking on his own.

Lu Xihua didn't explain, reincarnation after death can be regarded as a new person. Everyone returned to Jingzhou in the early morning and gave a horse to the master who drove the car, and the other horses were sold on the spot during the day, and the master knew how to remove the marks on the horses. In recent years, the fields have been harvested, and the price of cattle, horses and livestock has risen a lot, because after all, it is a laborer, a cow is 50 yuan, and a horse is sold for 150 yuan. Seven horses were sold for 1,000 yuan, and Lu Xihua smiled and said that the people who saw it had a share, and each person shared 250 yuan, which was considered a ticket for the four people to go to the mountain city.

"The head of the Wuxia of the Three Gorges of Badong, the ape screamed three times and burst into tears. "Four hundred miles of the Three Gorges River, the high mountains on both sides of the river are endless, there is no vacancy in the middle, the two banks are heavy cliffs, layers of cliffs cover the sky, if it is not noon and midnight, the people in the Three Gorges can not see the sun and the moon.

The water in the mountain gorge is also very urgent, "between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day." This poem is about the scene of crossing the Three Gorges by light boat. From Baidi City to Jiangling, Jiangling is Jingzhou where Lu Xihua departs, the distance between them is a thousand miles, and the boat that starts from Baidi City in the morning can reach Jingzhou at night, and the speed is so fast.

Why? Because of the drop, the Three Gorges has hundreds of dangerous shoals, large and small, and the current is turbulent, and the speed of going down the river is extremely fast, and it is often necessary for the front boat to enter the gorge for several miles, and the back boat dares to continue to follow up. This is the downstream, but what about the countercurrent? The horizontal places rely on the paddle and the sails, and of course the most rely on manpower, and these people are the slender men who pull the fiber on every dangerous shoal.

It is said to be a slender man, but there are two kinds, one is the one who follows the boat is called the boatman, and the other is the beachhead who is called the beachhead slender man.

The Three Gorges River beach is dangerous and rapid, and boats crossing the beach must be disembarked by the ship's boatman to the shore to pull the fiber. However, the larger dangerous shoals have a rapid current, and there are not enough people to pull the slender men on the boat (that is, the pulling force is not enough to make the boat go ashore), so there are beachhead slender men. The slender men who guard the larger and dangerous shoals are the beachhead slender men, and they do the work of pulling the fiber all year round on the fixed beachhead.

The slender men of the Three Gorges who beg for a living value their cables the most. These cables are called "fiber cables" or "cables" by the slender men. The production of fiber cable should take the best bamboo in the mountains, ask the best craftsman, finely draw out the most flexible and wear-resistant bamboo green, and then the flexible and slender bamboo green is very tightly woven into fiber cables of different thicknesses. The braided cables are also placed in a boiling pot of lime and sulfur water, and boiled to the brim. The boiled fiber cable is not only tough and will not be eaten by insects, but also smooth when entering the water, and it does not get wet when it comes out. When the boat crosses the rapids, one end of the cable is tied to the base of the ship's mast, and the other end is pulled to the shore by the collar.

Each slender man has his own or his wife's or his old mother's or lover's carefully sewn shoulders. These shoulders, six feet long and half a foot wide, are all made of fine "white official cloth". The six-foot-long shoulder was folded in half to form a three-foot length, and a thick bamboo board one inch square was fastened to the other end. When pulling the beach, the slender man pinned the bamboo board to the fiber cable, carried the wide end to his shoulder, and began the difficult trek. There must not be any decoration on the white official cloth on the shoulder, otherwise even a small thread or crease when pulling the fiber will make the slender man's shoulder wear and bleed. The tighter the sewing, the stronger and safer it is.

The four of Lu Xihua watched from the side of the boat, whenever the boat reached a beachhead. The boss of the ship's leader ran all the way to the shore like the wind, and none of the other slender men dared to slack off, and they would run at a very fast speed, while quickly pinning the other end of the shoulder to the fiber cable. As soon as the shoulder is pinned to the cable, the waist of all the slender men is immediately stretched into a curved bow, and the cable is like an arrow on a string.

The water of the treacherous shoal roared and roared violently against the bow of the ship, stirring up high waves. The slender men have no choice but to dig their fingers into the crevices of the rocks on the steep cliffs as the grippers of life, and their bare feet try to find the crevices in the cliffs. In the process of pulling fiber for dozens of minutes or even hours, no one cheated and played tricks, and no one was distracted.

A winding path was carved out between the cliffs, which was the plank road for the slender man to pass through. The narrow walkways are in some places only passable by one person, and sometimes as high as 100 feet above the water, and look like a groove between the cliffs.

On the desolate and merciless cliff, only beads of sweat were broken into eight petals, and the sound of "hehe" squeezed out of the slender man's chest rolled like thunder..... The water was very treacherous, and they refused to make the slightest compromise, and a dozen or twenty slender men "embedded" on their shoulders the ships on the dangerous beach, which ranged from a dozen tons to a few tens of tons.

In the stalemate, the ship's boss stood on the bow of the boat and shouted: If you want to go home to see the woman, you have to work harder, hey! These slender men are never afraid, they all have a firm goal in their hearts: go home, go home, go home to reunite with their wives and children.
