Chapter 381 Construction of the Bamboo Bridge Starts

Crackling~~!

At : in the morning, the harsh and dense sound of firecrackers came from the cliff where the bamboo bridge was built. The sound of the firecrackers indicated that the construction of the bamboo bridge had officially started.

At least tens of thousands of Xiangxi people gathered on the open space on the right side of the cliff to sing and dance to express their warm welcome to the start of the bamboo bridge.

These tens of thousands of Xiangxi people were arranged by hundreds of leaders of Xiangxi, such as Zhuang Clan Chief and Tang Village Chief, to celebrate in an orderly manner. Some outsiders wanted to take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and go to the edge of the cliff to watch All the excitement was driven away by the people arranged by Mr. Liu.

There were even several disobedient outsiders who wanted to use their thick skin to force their way through the customs, but in the end they were all subdued by force, crawling away with bruised noses and swollen faces.

But more common people in western Hunan, as well as outsiders, as well as reporters from major TV stations, all climbed up a mountain halfway across the cliff to watch this lively scene.

This mountain is about 1000 meters away from the cliff where the bamboo bridge was built, and the terrain on the mountainside is open. Standing on a high place and looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the construction of the bamboo bridge.

Mr. Zhou, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Tian had already taken up positions on the mountainside, ready to see how Liu Xing would be ruined in front of hundreds of thousands of people in western Hunan, as well as reporters from major TV stations.

In order to celebrate this moment, they made hot tea in advance, and prepared tea tables, chairs and other tea drinking tools.

Seeing that the sound of firecrackers finally rang, the three of them couldn't help showing faint smiles on their faces.

Especially Mr. Zhou, he shook his head and smiled lightly when he saw the reporter Xiaolan not far away introducing the unprecedented grand opening of the construction of the bamboo bridge under the lens of the camera.

For him, the higher he praises Liu Xing for the opening of the bamboo bridge, the worse Liu Xing will fall, because until now, he has not seen the lifting machinery related to the construction of the bamboo bridge .

The hoisting machinery is the key equipment for building bridges. Liu Xing does not have these key equipments. If he wants to build the bamboo bridge well, it is simply a dream.

The other foreign bosses who were watching the excitement also had the same idea as Mr. Zhou at this time, but when they got together, they chatted more openly.

For example, one of the short and fat bosses from other places saw that the leader who built the bamboo bridge was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. The construction of a bamboo bridge on the edge of such a steep cliff was actually contracted to such a brat, if it can be built successfully, I will take this brat’s surname later!”

"Haha... I also think it's impossible for this boy to build a bamboo bridge on the edge of this steep cliff. Look at the people around him. They all have mud legs. They don't look like engineers!"

"Hush! Say it in a low voice. It is said that this young man has a lot of background. He is a master of bamboo craftsman. He has big figures in the province to support him!"

"So what's the matter? How can building a bamboo bridge be a joke? If it doesn't go on later, I'll see how the boy will end up?"

"Yes! I heard from the local Xiangxi people that the place where the bamboo bridge is built is a cliff, very steep. Many bridge experts have shaken their heads when they came here before, because it is a dangerous place. Otherwise, this precious land in Xiangxi , the road has already been passed!"

"In my opinion, this young man is just a pawn in the hands of some officials. His purpose is to play against us bosses from other places. He wants us to donate some money to Xiangxi under the lively situation of today's development. After today's day is over, I'm afraid that the construction of the bamboo bridge will be postponed indefinitely."

"It makes sense, then let's run away when we see something is wrong later!"

"You think too much! Don't be ashamed of bragging. The leaders in Xiangxi are not as dirty as you imagined. If they want to raise money, they don't need you little bosses. See if the three bosses on the side are there. They are worth hundreds of millions, and they are not forced to gossip!"

"That's right, if the boy who built the bamboo bridge didn't have two brushes, the whole of Xiangxi could hold a ten-mile banquet for him? If he didn't have the ability, how could he greatly improve the economic conditions of Xiangxi in a short period of time?"

"Shhh! Don't even talk about it, that boy and hundreds of craftsmen are going to start building a bamboo bridge on the edge of the cliff. Let's wait and see if he can do it!"

"Yes! Whether it's a mule or a horse, let's see the situation!"

……

The originally noisy and lively halfway up the mountain suddenly became quiet.

Even Mr. Zhou, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Tian who were talking and joking held their breath and looked at Liu Xing who was on the edge of the cliff.

At this time, Liu Xing brought Liu Lao and other craftsmen who built bamboo bridges to a "large bamboo product" covered by a red cloth, with a smile on his face: "This row of ten bamboo products, It's called 'Piercing Rock Bamboo Crossbow', and it's my biggest reliance on building the bamboo bridge, and if I can temporarily connect the two cliffs, I'll rely on them."

"They are called piercing rock bamboo crossbows???" Liu Lao took a breath, and under Liu Xing's gesture, he uncovered the red cloth of a piercing rock bamboo crossbow in front of him.

It was a big surprise when I saw that there was a bamboo product similar to "mountain cannon" made of golden bamboo bamboo.

Because just from the domineering appearance of this bamboo product, it can be seen that this product is absolutely extraordinary, otherwise Liu Xing would not be willing to use golden silk bamboo to make it.

"How to use it?" Elder Liu asked curiously after recovering.

"You'd better stand at a distance of ten meters and watch it, I will bring someone to operate it myself!" Liu Xing looked at the time, seeing that it would be nine o'clock soon, he stood aside After beckoning, Ah Hu, Wang Jiabao, and Wang Afu three people pushed a rock-piercing crossbow towards the edge of the cliff.

Ah Hu still has a way to use the power of the Rock Bamboo Crossbow. Liu Xing had already taught him when he was in No. Greenhouse, so this time he is a proficient hand. He brought Wang Jiabao and Wang Afu to lift the three Rock Bamboo Crossbows. After putting on the red cloth, he pushed and followed Liu Xing.

The rock-piercing crossbow has two hand-made large wheels, on which are the mechanism for launching the rock-piercing crossbow arrows.

This mechanism is extremely complicated to make, and it took Liu Xing and Village Chief Wang nearly a month to make it. In order to show respect to the bamboo god, the unique pattern of the bamboo god was specially engraved on it by Feng Mang.

Although Mr. Liu didn't know much about the design and production of the rock-piercing bamboo crossbow, he knew the pattern of the bamboo god well.

Because he found that everything related to Liu Xing's production has an inexplicable connection with the Bamboo God. Although Liu Xing never mentioned the Bamboo God in front of him, even a fool can see it.

The ability of Liu Xing is probably closely related to the Bamboo God in all likelihood.

But Liu Xing is only 15 years old!

Every inheritance of the Bamboo God is broad and profound.

To say that a smart person learns a thing or two throughout his life, Thaksin believes.

But at the age of 15, he was able to master many skills of Zhushen, and he really couldn't believe it.

However, the design and manufacture of this rock-piercing crossbow can be seen by anyone with a little eyesight. It is a combination of machine skills, bamboo craftsmanship, carpentry and many other skills to achieve such a level.

"Liu Xing...he is the treasure of the country!" Old Liu let out a long sigh, seeing that Liu Xing was about to shoot the rock-piercing crossbow at the opposite cliff, he immediately held his breath.

This first crossbow arrow is the key to the success or failure of building a bamboo bridge, so you must watch it carefully.

All the spectators on the halfway up the mountain diagonally opposite had their eyes widened at this moment, for fear of missing any wonderful details.

Especially Mr. Zhou, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Tian, ​​who stood on the chair and stretched their necks to look at the edge of the cliff.

Regarding the appearance of the rock-piercing crossbow, to be honest, the three of them were so shocked that they were almost speechless.

Because they had already assumed in their hearts many times what method Liu Xing would use to build the bamboo bridge, but after much deliberation, none of them would be a successful method, and they never thought that Liu Xing would use the bamboo craftsman's craftsmanship to make this one. Yu Shanpao's large-scale bamboo products overcome the difficulty of building bamboo bridges.

Mr. Zhou, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Tian are all laymen in the field of bamboo craftsmanship, so for the sudden appearance of the rock-piercing bamboo crossbow, it is only the blind man who is in a hurry.

But they are just anxious now, and they don't think Liu Xing can use this large bamboo product similar to a mountain cannon to conquer the cliff that all bridge experts regard as a natural danger.

The reporters from the major TV stations who came here here also had the same idea at this time, but they were more curious about the rock bamboo crossbow. In order to gain news points, many cameramen specially took a close-up of the rock bamboo crossbow .

This moment is quiet.

Even the little birds flying in the sky sensiblely found a big tree as a foothold and looked towards Liu Xing who was on the edge of the cliff, instead of joking around with his companions.

"Have you checked all the ropes?" Seeing that Ah Hu, Wang Jiabao, and Wang Anfu were not nervous about using the rock bamboo crossbow for the first time, Liu Xing asked in relief.

There is no way, the rope that goes through the Rock Bamboo Crossbow is the key to connecting the two cliffs, so it must not be sloppy, after all, we will need to rely on these ropes to pave the board and climb to the opposite cliff later.

"I've checked them all. I checked everything twice last night. Don't worry! There is absolutely nothing wrong with it!" Ah Hu patted his chest and assured.

"That's good!" Liu Xing took a deep breath, and he adjusted the angle of the rock-piercing crossbow's firing port. Seeing that it was almost done, he stretched out his hand and pressed the firing mechanism.

Whoosh~~!

The first rock-piercing crossbow arrow shot towards the opposite cliff like lightning with the rope. Due to its high speed, the sharp piercing sound immediately echoed on the abyss between the two cliffs.

And as the sound of piercing the air disappeared, there was another muffled sound from the cliff opposite, and the rock piercing arrow, with the rope, penetrated firmly into the rock, and it didn't go in at all, and it was impossible to see it at all. A little shadow of a crossbow arrow.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xing clenched his fists excitedly. He knew that if there were no accidents, the first launch of the rock bamboo crossbow had been successful, but this was far from enough. In order to test the firmness of the rope connecting the rock bamboo crossbow, Immediately, he quickly turned a small wheel on the rock bamboo crossbow that stored the rope, and as the small wheel turned, he slowly straightened the drooping curved rope.

Everyone watched this scene with bated breath.

Mr. Zhou, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Tian on the halfway across the mountain diagonally opened their mouths into a 0 shape, and some couldn't believe what they saw with their eyes.

It took them a while to come back to their senses.

Among them, Zhou Zong lost his voice and muttered to himself: "How is this possible, so possible! How can a small bamboo product have such great power, I must be dreaming, all of this is not real!"

"It turns out that this big guy is Liu Xing's reliance on building the bamboo bridge! Awesome! Really awesome!" Mr. Huang shook his head sighingly. Only then did he realize that he had underestimated Liu Xing, who relied on bamboo craftsman's craftsmanship. Artisans who eat.

The Maitreya Buddha-like smile on Mr. Tian's face was gone at this moment, and some were shocked. Ever since he fired the first crossbow arrow, he never left his eyes on the rock bamboo crossbow.

because……

He was already intimidated.

The pants were already wet a lot.

If the Rock Bamboo Piercing Crossbow turned around and aimed at him, it would be able to pierce him into candied haws in one shot.

In his cognition, the power of guns is nothing more than this, right?

Before, he was thinking about how to deal with Liu Xing, but now it seems that he is looking for death at all!

Because Liu Xing can develop this rock-penetrating crossbow, then he can definitely develop other weapons for killing people. As long as Liu Xing is willing, sending him to the west is a matter of effort.
