Lu Xihua got up early in the morning and asked Liu Ying'er to come to talk, telling her that she was going to go out for a while. Liu Ying'er complained that she hadn't been with her brother for three months, and her brother was about to go out, and the weather outside was getting cold, and she was worried that her brother would be frozen outside. Lu Xihua smiled, he was not invaded by the cold and heat, but in the eyes of his sister, he still needed to be worried.

I found a high pet, let him practice martial arts on the mountain with peace of mind, and when he went out for a while, many affairs on the mountain troubled him. The medicine garden has no one, although it can no longer grow rapidly, but the environment has been formed, and it can still shorten the maturity time of many medicinal materials. There is no problem with these medicinal herbs arranged for personal use or sale.

Lu Xihua called the big cat, the big cat seemed to know something, licked and licked a few of its little cubs, got into the forest and muttered to the leopard for a while, before coming out again, Lu Xihua touched the big cat's head lovingly, and whispered, "If you can't let go, just stay in the mountain, I'll go alone." The big cat shook its head, opened its mouth and grabbed Lu Xihua's sleeve and tugged, as if complaining that Lu Xihua wanted to abandon it. Lu Xihua smiled, "It's okay, we have always come and gone, we share weal and woe, and this life is in vain!"

After speaking, Lu Xihua turned over the leopard body, at this moment, the big cat is one and a half meters high at the shoulders and five meters long, and it is completely a giant beast. I saw the big cat look back at the wooden house, and then the long tail slapped to the ground, and the bent paws squatted and jumped down the mountain, like a fast horse, fast like a meteor. People on the mountain road only felt a gust of wind around them, and a giant leopard passed by, and saw a figure sitting on it in the distance. The familiar farmer knew that it was Lu Gongzi who had gone down the mountain, and the tourists and literati who didn't know thought it was the immortal who came to the world, so they hurriedly dismounted and got off the sedan chair, kneeling on the ground to say goodbye, causing the farmer to laugh. The tourists and literati didn't know why the farmer laughed, and only after hearing the explanation did they sigh that there are many strange people in the world, which is really unheard of.

On the two-thousand-mile road from Lin'an to Bianliang, Lu Xihua traveled all the way, and the northerners fled south, taking their families with them to avoid the war.

Juan was originally a blacksmith near Taiyuan, the Jin people came south in September, burned and plundered everything, and was forced to take a family to the south, to Bianliang, the old mother, the inner family suffered from illness, I wanted to rest, went to Kaifeng City to ask the doctor to see a doctor, but I heard from my companion that the Jin people continued to go south, so I had to pack my luggage and continue to go south, hoping to cross the Yangtze River to Jiangning to find a place to live in peace.

All the way to the south, thousands of miles, dragged for two months, the old cattle at home have long been exhausted, and the ox cart is getting slower and slower. The two children took care of the elders in the car, walked by themselves, and walked to the edge of the Yangtze River, trying to find a pontoon bridge to cross the river. If it was a weekday, he would have gritted his teeth and given it, but now that he is fleeing, where does he get a lot of surplus money, even if he has money, he has to keep his family to buy rice to eat.

Juan and his companions went up to reason with the bridge watcher, but they were injured and bleeding from the head, so they had to retreat to the ox cart, and the family hugged their heads and cried.

Lu Xihua passed Jiangning on this day and came to the bank of the Yangtze River, where the river surface is open and the water flow is gentle, and I saw two pontoon bridges erected on the river to facilitate the passage of travelers. Lu Xihua nodded secretly, the waves here are flat and shallow, the pontoon bridge is on it, steady, and there are oxen and carriage sedan chairs driving on it, so it is not lively. There are more planks in the middle that can be opened and closed, and every once in a while, they can be opened to allow ships on both sides to pass through.

It's just that there are many people coming from the south, and very few people going north, and only a few chariots and horses pass through it. Lu Xihua rode a big cat to the bridge, more than a dozen bridge watchers were so frightened that they were about to scatter, and even more wanted to jump into the river and escape, but Lu Xihua grabbed the neck of one of them, mentioned it in front of him, and said, "I don't eat you, what are you doing?!"

"The little puppet sees the power of the immortals, and it is unbearable to use, and I hope that the immortals will forgive their sins!"

Lu Xihua laughed, "Don't say much, I cross the bridge with me, how much is the money worth?"

The bridge watcher smiled bitterly, "Grandpa Immortal don't want to play tricks on the villain, he only cares about crossing the bridge, and the villain doesn't dare to collect a penny." ”

Lu Xihua said, "I'm not a strong man, how can I pay the bridge fee, it's not easy for you to wait for the bridge to be repaired, just say it." The big cat also shook his neck, glanced back at the bridge man, and licked his lips with a smile. The bridge watcher looked at the big cat's two-foot-square head, trembling with fright, and almost urinated out, seeing that Lu Xihua patted the big cat's head angrily, and said unhappily, "You don't care about it, come on quickly." ”

The bridge watcher swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stretched out a finger, "One, one hundred wen." ”

When Lu Xihua heard this, it was quite cheap, so he took out the money and stuffed it into the arms of the bridge watcher, "Take it." After speaking, he put the bridge watcher to the side, and the big cat jumped up the bridge and went straight to the opposite side.

The big cat flew fast, and flew across the pontoon bridge in a moment, Lu Xihua saw that the north bank was in a mess, more than a dozen men with sticks stood at the head of the bridge, and many people on the roadside had blood stains on their bodies, obviously there was a conflict. The men saw Lu Xihua riding a giant leopard, and hurriedly dodged to the side and did not dare to make a sound.

Lu Xihua saw that the family was hugging and crying, and hurriedly went over to inquire, and learned that he had received five people for crossing the bridge from north to south, and he couldn't help but be angry.

Lu Xihua turned over and found those men, "Among you, who is in charge?"

A ring-eyed giant man walked out tremblingly, arching his hands, "This strong man, I don't know what to teach?"

Lu Xihua nodded, "Let me ask you, I charge a hundred wen from south to north, why does this become five yuan from north to south?

The giant man sighed, "The strong man doesn't know, this money is set from above, there are few people in the north, so the executive government sets the price, and there are many people in the south, so it is not cheap, so you can only charge more." ”

Lu Xihua nodded, "They are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin people went south and were forced to leave their hometowns. You have parents and relatives at home, have you ever thought about them?"

The giant man hesitated, and it took a long time to say, "This is discussed by all the adults in the city, and the villain can't be the master." Moreover, the construction of the pontoon bridge is very expensive, and it is always necessary to collect some costs back. But when the strong man speaks, we will free their money, and we will just go over. ”

Lu Xihua understood that they were all working below, and he didn't want to embarrass them, so he turned around and returned to the ox cart.

Juan heard the words of the giant man watching the bridge, and took the two children to kowtow to Lu Xihua again and again, "Thank you, strong man! Thank you, strong man!" Everyone around also gathered around to thank him.

Lu Xihua glanced at the nearby mountains, saw that the woods were dense, nodded, returned to the giant man, and said, "You said that it costs a lot to build a pontoon bridge, so I won't say much." Today, I have encountered this matter, and I hope that you will report it to the people in the city, and I hope that you will consider it carefully. ”

The giant man nodded yes, and Lu Xihua turned around and waved his hand to grab the hill. I saw dozens of big trees on the mountain flying out of the soil one after another, and fell to the riverside following Lu Xihua's gesture.

Lu Xihua said, "I will not stop you from crossing the bridge to collect tolls, but now that there are many people from the south and there is not enough pontoon bridge, I will build another bridge here to supplement it." As soon as he spoke, the big trees turned into planks, turned into huge wooden boxes, fell into the river, and floated on the surface. There was a wooden board on the wooden box, Lu Xihua's fingers flicked, and countless blue lights came out and fell on the wooden board, only to see that the wooden plank became huge between the whiskers, connecting the wooden box, and there were vines entangled, turning into ropes and fastening. After a while, a two-zhang wide pontoon bridge appeared on the river, and the shadow Zhuo Zhuo connected to the other side of the river, and countless figures on the other side of the Yangtze River rushed towards the pontoon bridge.

The men watching the bridge were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, unable to speak.

Lu Xihua took another boulder, three times and two times into a stone tablet, with a finger to make a pen to engrave, "Shanren Xihua here to build a pontoon bridge, so that the people to go back and forth, this monument is specially erected, and each person charges 20 Wen as the upper limit." Shoot down hard, the giant monument broke into the dirt for a meter, stood firmly at the north bank bridgehead, turned to the giant man and said, "Can you see clearly?"

The giant man only dared to nod his head, and shouted in his mouth, "Immortals spare their lives!

Lu Xihua said, "They are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, what am I going to do with your life?" Today I build this bridge, you report it according to the truth, and the fee should not be higher than the monument erected, as a warning!"

A group of men watching the bridge shouted, "The villain understands, the villain understands." ”

Lu Xihua turned around, looked at the people who kowtowed to thank the roadside, and said, "Everyone, please get up quickly, the bridge has been built, everyone hurry up and cross the river." After speaking, he returned to the big cat, the big cat pounced, and one person and one leopard left north.

The people on the riverside sighed, today they met the immortals to cast spells, it was really a blessing, and they all said that the official family has the protection of the immortals, and the disaster of the northern captives will definitely be solved. The people packed up their luggage and horses and headed for the new pontoon. The man who watched the bridge had a little eyesight, found a basket, stood next to the stone tablet, twenty wen per person, did not dare to charge more, and someone else had already gone straight to the bridge and reported to the other side.
