Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 368 Ten Mile Banquet
Xiangxi.

To the east of the crucian carp village.

Build the bamboo bridge on the edge of the cliff.

After Liu Xing arranged for the people in the team to unload the tent from the large truck, he took the lead in installing it himself.

There is no way, I wasted too much time with Liu Ruyan before, if I don't set an example this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to eat the ten-mile banquet before dark.

But to be honest, Liu Xing's expectation for the ten-mile banquet is not very high.

After all, Xiangxi's own conditions are limited. He has limited the specifications of the Ten Mile Banquet. In addition, due to traffic congestion, many villagers in the surrounding villages do not know about the construction of the bamboo bridge, so they may not come to the Ten Mile Banquet.

The ten-mile banquet is just a legend in Xiangxi.

Don't get your hopes up too much when it's true.

Because sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

But unexpectedly, after he greeted hundreds of craftsmen, "Hurry up and do things, there will be a ten-mile banquet when I go back.", the enthusiasm of these craftsmen was unprecedentedly high, and their enthusiasm for doing things was instantaneous. was mobilized.

They gathered together in groups of three or five, those who moved things, those who installed tents installed tents, and in just two hours, they unloaded all the materials on the large truck.

Among them were more than a dozen large boxes containing rock bamboo crossbows. Liu Xing deliberately did not ask other craftsmen to lift them off the large trucks, but he himself carried them to the installed tent with Sikong Lei.

He also explained to the two men in black arranged by Mr. Liu that no one should approach him, except for him, Sikong Lei, Li Dawei and a few other trustworthy people.

The two men in black naturally nodded in agreement, and they also guessed that the contents of Liu Xing's dozen or so boxes were the key to changing the traffic in Xiangxi. After waiting for Liu Xing to leave to do other things, they took out the The firearms he carried were guarded carefully.

This scene scared many thoughtful craftsmen, and also scared the villagers of Crucian Fish Village who came to help build the bamboo bridge, especially Tang Guoqing, who was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this serious posture.

But at the same time, I admire Liu Xing's methods, because the construction of the bamboo bridge itself is a very serious matter, and we can't make a joke.

He is also curious about the contents of the big box now, is it a gun?Or was it something else he hadn't seen?
Seeing someone calling for him to help carry things, he quickly recovered and ran over.

Time flies quickly in the busyness, and the sun is setting in the blink of an eye, and the sun is about to set.Liu Xing saw that all the materials had been transported and there was nothing missing, so he came to Si Konglei and said apologetically, "You may not be able to go to Xiangxi for a ten-mile banquet, because the safety of these materials is very important, so Next, you will bring Ah Hu, Wang Jiabao, Wang Afu and others to guard these supplies, and as for the food, Lao Li and his assistant cook will stay and cook for you."

"Okay!" Sikong Lei nodded.

He has no opinion on Liu Xing's arrangement.

After all, Mr. Liu had told him before that everything was under Liu Xing's command.

Now that the construction of the bamboo bridge is imminent, there can be no problems with the supplies, so he must take good care of it.

"It's just what's in those dozen or so big boxes of yours?" Seeing that Liu Xing was going to take dozens of other craftsmen away on a motorcycle, he couldn't help asking.

"I can't talk about this for now, but it's related to this!" Liu Xing smiled lightly and handed the wooden box containing the ten-arrow bamboo crossbow to Sikong Lei: "If there is any accident, this should save your life."

"You don't have to make it so serious, right?" Sikong Lei said so, but he took the wooden box with both hands.

In his opinion, as long as he had ten arrows and a bamboo crossbow in his hand, no matter how many poisonous insects and beasts came, he could easily face them.

Because compared to other people, he knows the power of this ten-arrow bamboo crossbow too well.

Liu Xing smiled when he heard the words: "If it's too early to finish the ten-mile banquet, I will come back by motorcycle. I want to complete the initial foundation work for the construction of the bamboo bridge within ten days, so some places still have to be completed." You can help me a lot."

There is no way, it is not summer vacation, nor winter vacation, but an important stage when he is about to apply for high school in the third year of junior high school. Although he is a reborn person, he will still have food if he does not study.

But it was his regret that he didn't go to high school or university before rebirth, so this time he had to make up for it no matter what, even if he paid for it, he had to experience life in high school and college.

Of course, the most important point is that his parents also hope that he can be admitted to high school. After all, their family is rich now, and they don't want to save money on food, drink and clothes anymore.

Of course, Sikong Lei knew the inside story. He waved his hand and said, "Go! But you have to remember that when you are attending the ten-mile banquet, you can't drink the wine handed over by others. There are some girls gift!"

"I know!" Liu Xing nodded with a faint smile.

In Xiangxi, some ethnic minorities are proud of how much they drink. As long as they take a stranger's wine glass or other utensils for wine at a banquet, it will be miserable, unless you give the stranger a drink. Get down, then you must keep drinking.

He had been fooled before he was reborn, so it is still fresh in his memory.

As for what the girl handed over, it was a token of love. Once he took it, he would marry this girl, who was very suitable for a few single craftsmen who followed him.

But he is only 15 years old now, so naturally he won't fall into such a 'trick'.

Seeing that the craftsmen and friends who didn't go with them gathered together and drank some wine, Si Konglei also led Ah Hu and a few trustworthy people to patrol, and immediately rode a motorcycle and took the lead towards Liu Ruyan. Drive away to the hut.

Several empty large trucks followed slowly behind.

Tang Tang and Tang Guoqing sat on the cargo box and looked at the dozens of tents that quickly disappeared behind them, with some strong expectations in their eyes.

But more doubts.

The place where the bamboo bridge is built is a cliff.

In rural areas, it is a natural danger that cannot be overcome.

Can Liu Xing overcome the natural danger and build a bamboo bridge on the cliff with these ten or so large trucks of supplies?

This is obviously a bit unbelievable.

However, Tang Tang believed in Liu Xing unconditionally, because Liu Xing had created too many miracles in Xiangxi since he came to Xiangxi.

……

As night falls, the stars shine brightly.

The moon came out early, and the silver-white light sprinkled on the earth, and also illuminated the whole of Xiangxi.

Today is a good day for Xiangxi.

Because there is a ten-mile banquet that has not been held for many years.

And the distinguished guests at the banquet were Liu Xing who built the bamboo bridge for them.

Many people in Xiangxi didn't believe that Liu Xing could build the bamboo bridge on the cliff.

But Liu Ruyan and Zhuge Dan, two highly respected teachers, visited in person and said that the construction of the bamboo bridge was true this time, and the roadbed leading to the location of the bamboo bridge had already been built.

This time, these Xiangxi people did not have any doubts, but gathered together happily. Under the leadership of Zhuang Patriarch and Tang Village Chief, the rich contributed money and powerful contributions. Of course, more The most important thing is to provide materials for holding a ten-mile banquet.

As soon as the people from the 72 villages gathered in the ten miles and eight villages in western Hunan, the scene was quite sensational, and as the night fell, more and more people gathered together, at least more than tens of thousands.

Some of them carried lanterns, some carried square wooden tables, some carried big grass carp, and some drove out the big fat pigs in their homes, and gathered them on the roadbed that had been built.

Due to the large number of people, it can be seen from a distance that it looks like a winding dragon hovering on the roadbed.

As for the length of this 'dragon', I'm afraid it has almost reached ten miles.

This figure seems exaggerated, but today on the roadbed built in western Hunan, it seems to be a fact that has to be said.

Of course, this is not the point. I don’t want to set off the grandness of the “ten miles” of the ten-mile banquet, but I want to say that under the leadership of Zhuang Patriarch, Tang Village Chief and other leaders of the ten miles and eight townships in Western Hunan, the ten-mile banquet today, It was really a success.

And according to Patriarch Zhuang's understanding.

The number of Xiangxi people who are going to participate in this ten-mile banquet will be at least , or even more, and the specific number cannot be counted.

Of course, having so many people eating and entertaining is a problem.

But their ancestors have long had the experience of holding a ten-mile banquet, so the ten-mile banquet held for Liu Xing this time is not difficult at all.

Because the people from all villages and villages who came to participate in the ten-mile banquet were responsible for the food and drink of their own villages or villages. They were not related to each other, but they formed a collective. The quality of the ten-mile banquet is somewhat unsatisfactory.

But as long as the meaning of entertaining Liu Xing, a distinguished guest, is expressed, then it will be fine.

Of course, the banquet for Liu Xing must be the most sumptuous.

It was a banquet held by all the people in the ten miles and eight townships of Xiangxi, and the legendary dragon and tiger meat was not a problem.

But no one knows the exact details of the operation.

Even some people in Xiangxi don't know what kind of dish this dragon and tiger meat is. They only know that it is very precious, and they are not eaten by people who have made great contributions to Xiangxi.

The bonfire party was also held under the arrangement of Liu Ruyan. On the wide roadbed east of the crucian carp village, the raging fire radiated its own heat on a pile of dry wood. It not only illuminated the surrounding singing and dancing The happy faces of the people in Xiangxi also illuminated the entire crucian carp village.

Liu Xing was so shocked that he almost fell off the motorcycle when he saw this lively scene on the roadbed.

He originally thought that the Ten Mile Banquet that Village Chief Tang mentioned was just an exaggerated name, but how could he have imagined that this... the grandeur of this fucking festival might really reach the range of Ten Mile.

Because looking far away, the roadbed extending into the darkness turned out to be the people of Xiangxi.

These people are busy preparing the dishes for the banquet with every twenty tables as a point.

And in the center, a blazing bonfire is burning, and many Miao boys and girls are singing and dancing happily around the side. The pleasant atmosphere and the provocative grand scene, to be honest, Liu Xing has never seen in his previous life. been there.

Seeing Liu Ruyan walking towards him with a smile on his face, led by Clan Chief Zhuang, Village Chief Tang, and other village leaders in western Hunan, he quickly came to his senses, parked the motorcycle, and went up to meet him.

Zhu Xiaoxiao, who was following behind him, was nervous: "Brother Liu Xing! So many banquets are really just for entertaining you alone?"

"That must be!" Gao Dazhuang raised his head, as if he had a lot to do with him.

"I don't know, but it's impossible to entertain me alone, and the other craftsmen who built the bamboo bridge accompanying me this time!" Liu Xing shook his head and smiled wryly.

To be honest, he was very opposed to such extravagance and waste.

After all, the whole of Xiangxi is not rich.

The ten-mile banquet looked lavish, but I'm afraid it took out a lot of things that the people of Xiangxi kept under the box.

Especially those big fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered, as well as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, all of which have to be fed for several months in the countryside.

Especially the big fat pigs have never eaten feed in Xiangxi, and only eat wild vegetables and other rough food. It will not be a year before they can be slaughtered.

But these Xiangxi people, just because Liu Xing built a bamboo bridge for them, they all took it out to entertain them.

This enthusiasm, and this pure and sincere intention, he really didn't know what to say for a while.

If something happened to the construction of the bamboo bridge in the future, or the bamboo bridge could not be built, I'm afraid he would really want to find a hole in the ground to get in.

This is actually not what he wants, because he feels a lot of pressure invisibly, and this pressure can even make him breathless.

If it weren't for his confidence in building a bamboo bridge on the edge of the cliff, he really wanted to run away at this moment.

"Liu Xing, you are finally back!" Liu Ruyan's complaining words interrupted Liu Xing's thoughts. She gave Liu Xing a strange look, but there was a strong smile on her pretty face: "See No, this is the ten-mile banquet prepared for you, is it grand enough?"

"So grand!" Liu Xing sighed.

Zhu Xiaoxiao and Gao Dazhuang on the side were also a little bit embarrassed.

The people of Xiangxi are so generous, I am afraid that there is no second one in the whole country.

"If it's grand enough, let me go and get to know the people in the ten miles and eight villages of Xiangxi, as well as the people in the 72 villages!" Liu Ruyan said, and introduced the villagers around him that Liu Xing didn't know, and some people with high morals in Xiangxi.

Liu Xing knew most of these people before he was reborn, and he also knew their past. After he nodded and greeted with a smile, he didn't say much, followed behind Liu Ruyan, and walked towards the campfire .

The reason why they didn't sit at the banquet to eat at the first time was because many villages were not ready yet, and some of them were in such a hurry that they didn't even kill the big fat pigs.

Seeing Liu Xing coming, he just greeted him with a silly smile, never thinking that the big fat pig would run away secretly without his attention.

Liu Xing originally wanted to remind, but he couldn't say it in the end, because Liu Ruyan took him hand in hand and joined the ranks of the bonfire party.

Since he was the main character at the banquet tonight, many girls from Xiangxi immediately caught his attention when he joined.

Many of these girls were beautiful, and they were not even shy. They surrounded Liu Xing singing and dancing, and some of them even winked at Liu Xing.

This scene made Liu Xing extremely embarrassed, because even if he was reborn, he already had a natural resistance to beautiful girls, but he couldn't stand this scene!
Fortunately, Liu Ruyan saw Liu Xing's situation, and after she couldn't help smiling, she pulled Liu Xing to sit on a chair beside her to rest.

But as soon as they sat down, several beautiful Miao girls brought fruit cakes to Liu Xing. After they smiled shyly at Liu Xing, they put the fruit cakes on the square wooden table beside them, and smiled coquettishly. He whispered and left.

"Liu Xing, how about the girl in Xiangxi? If you like one, just tell me, and you will definitely be able to take it back the next day!" Liu Ruyan said with a faint smile.

"Ms. Liu, don't make fun of me, I'm only 15 years old!" Liu Xing begged for forgiveness.

"What's wrong with being 15 years old, in Xiangxi, some 15-year-olds are the fathers of two children!" Liu Ruyan teased back.

"But I don't want to be like this. At least I don't want to fall in love and get married until I'm in my 20s!" Liu Xing knew that Ruyan Liu was teasing him, so he didn't care at the moment, but said seriously: "The reason why Xiangxi is so poor , In fact, it is also related to early marriage and early childbearing, because fifteen or sixteen years old is the age of growing up, and also the age of learning knowledge. If you are delayed by marriage and children, then your life will be over."

"I agree with this point of view!" Liu Ruyan peeled an orange and handed it to Liu Xing, and there was no joke on her pretty face: "It's just that the idea of ​​early marriage and early childbearing in Xiangxi has been deeply ingrained, and it may take a long time to change it. Disaster."

"It won't be difficult to change. When everyone has money and wants to live a quality life, you will know what I mean!" Liu Xing replied with a faint smile. The reason why he said this is that It was because he remembered the opening of the second or even third child decades later.

The reason for this is that with the development of society, after everyone pursues a quality life, many people don't want to get married at all, let alone have children.

And the Dink family came because of this.

Liu Ruyan didn't know what Liu Xing was thinking, and was about to ask for clarification, when she suddenly discovered two bright spots in the eastern sky. The plane flew towards them quickly.

Liu Xing also noticed this scene, he looked at Liu Ruyan in surprise: "This helicopter is your father, right?"

"No, absolutely not. My father is very frugal. He will never take a helicopter when he comes to Xiangxi. Besides, he has been busy in southern Hunan Province for the past half month. He is very close to Xiangxi, so there is no need to come by helicopter!" Liu Ru Yan shook her head, with doubts on her pretty face.

"Then why is this helicopter coming here?" Liu Xing felt something was wrong, after looking at Liu Ruyan, he quickly got up and walked towards the open space where the helicopter was going to park.

Liu Ruyan took out her mobile phone and dialed her father's number. After confirming that the person in the helicopter was not someone sent by her father, she quickly followed Liu Xing with the head of the Zhuang clan, the head of village Tang, and other Xiangxi leaders.
