"Big brother, do we really want to go up to this rope bridge?"

The rope bridge was shaking, and Dongfang Shuo was a little numb and a little scared.

Cao Jianren had already strode onto the rope bridge first, and he didn't look back:

"If you could fly over, so much the better. ”

Looking at the bottomless mountain stream under his feet and the rope bridge dangling in front of him, Dongfang Shuo had no choice but to chase after him.

didn't take a few steps,

Click,

With a bang,

The plank under his feet suddenly broke, and Dongfang Shuo's whole person fell.

Yes~~

Dongfang Shuo screamed.

Fortunately, at this time, Cao Jianren reached out and grabbed him in time, and it took a lot of effort to completely drag him onto the rope bridge again.

"What a broken bridge, this plank is rotten, this rope is not strong, what kind of person built this broken bridge, it is purely a pit man. ”

Dongfang Shuo scolded and scolded, this time he learned to be obedient, carefully grasping the cables on both sides with both hands, and he took a step under his feet, for fear that he would miss again.

Cao Jianren cautiously explored the road in front, and at the same time replied without looking back: "I remember that there was a sign at the head of the bridge just now, which said 'Dongfang Bridge', this bridge will not be built by you, right?"

"How is it possible?" Dongfang Shuo didn't pay attention to his body and staggered, and almost didn't fall down: "Don't tease me, I almost fell!"

"Hehe, I didn't tease you, it's true. ”

"Impossible, how could it be this bridge I built, if it were me, at least I would have to make a bridge cable with iron chains, what kind of thing is this rope, who knows when it will break, this is too pitiful, I won't do this kind of immoral thing. ”

"That's not possible!" Cao Jianren in front, or Dong Zhongshu, sighed and said, "This bridge is not simple!"

"Why is it not simple? A broken bridge, why is it not simple?"

"The bridge is not the point, the point is in this broken word. ”

"Broken?" Dongfang Shuo was a little puzzled.

"We just came out of [Guanshanhai] in front of us, and took over the right to operate salt and iron in the world, and here we have a broken bridge, and there is no steel at all, which is to refute our salt and iron franchise and our [Guanshanhai] policy. Han Gen, the Guiguzi, should not be underestimated. ”

Cao Jianren explained this, and Dongfang Shuo really understood.

No wonder this rope bridge is a rope rather than a chain.

Because salt and iron are official camps, and there is no steel among the people, then this bridge can only be a bridge of rope and wood, and 'breaking' is what it should be.

Here is the unspoken evidence, the silent rebuttal.

Seeing that it was already halfway through, the rope bridge shook even more.

Dongfang Shuo was even more panicked in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Big brother, should this bastard Han Gen want to use this to break the bridge, and the two of us will end up, right?

"I'm afraid it's more than that. ”

Without waiting for Cao Jianren to continue, the rope bridge suddenly shook violently.

Dongfang Shuo shouted in fright: "What's the matter?

"I didn't move. Cao Jianren hurriedly said: "It seems that the opposite side is moving, and there are people on the other side!"

As soon as the words fell, a man, carrying a load of firewood, holding a rope in one hand and a burden in the other, walked out of the thick fog.

In a blink of an eye, they were in front of the two.

Three people, six eyes, staring at each other with wide eyes. They were all stunned.

This rope bridge is so narrow that there is no way to give way.

"What's the matter with you two guys, don't you know that this bridge is a one-way street, you still have so many people on it, what if this bridge collapses?

Go back?

You might as well kill us, so that we don't have to worry about it.

"Go back, why don't you go back? The two of us, you alone, it stands to reason that you should go back!" Dongfang Shuo was not happy, at this time let him go back, it was absolutely impossible.

"Why should I retreat, I cross the bridge at this time every day, it is clear that you have broken the rules, you should go back!"

The two of them argued like this, one sentence and one sentence and one sentence.

Cao Jianren was sandwiched between the two, and he couldn't stand it just from the big man's spittle.

So he couldn't help but interject: "This big brother, this bridge is built to connect things from east to west, how can there be anything that is not a single line, are you now from east to west, don't you go back, you don't go back from west to east." So how can you say that this bridge is a one-way street?"

When the man heard this, he smiled and said, "Sure enough, there are two foreigners, then I will teach you to be good for free." Didn't you look carefully before you went to the bridge, the sign said that you can cross the bridge from noon to hai. On the sign on my side opposite, it is the time of the child to the hour, and you can cross the bridge. That is, before noon, you can go from here to there, and after noon, you can go from that side to this side. It's not yet noon, so it's time to go from my side to yours. Hurry up and get out of the way, I'm still waiting to bring firewood to others. ”

Make you big-headed ghosts.

Send you a ghost firewood.

Dongfang Shuo listened to the lawsuit.

What is here and there, what is noon and not noon, now the fog is thick, who knows what time it is.

Cao Jianren completely understood.

It looks like it's a one-way bridge.

It's also to blame that they didn't pay attention before going up to the bridge.

It seems that the devil is really hiding in the details.

However, at this time, it may not be realistic to want the two of them to turn around and walk back.

Not to mention whether it is dangerous to walk back now, even if you go back and walk again, you can't stand it.

However, if you want to let the man turn back now, it is estimated that the other party will not be willing.

If there are three people, in the middle of this rope bridge, there is a stalemate, and after a long time, who knows when something will not happen to this rope bridge. When the wind blows, it will shake, and who knows if it will break at any time.

You have to deal with it quickly, this life hangs in the balance!

Cao Jianren thought for a while, and then discussed with the man: "This big brother, if you don't do this, you Chai He, anyway, you are a seller, so it's better to sell me directly." ”

"That's not going to work!" I didn't expect the man to refuse.

"Why can't you do it? Who don't sell this firewood? If you sell it to us now, you won't have to thank us for this trip." No, we're paying double the price. Dongfang Shuo said urgently.

"That's not going to work!" The man replied again: "I told others that if I sell it to you, then I don't mean that I have lost my trust in others, then what kind of person have I become?" ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, your load of firewood, to say the least, has a hundred and ten catties. You are equal to the weight of two people, who is it that you crushed this bridge in the future?"
