Chapter 1,755 The name of the bridge is twofold(1/2)

Looking from a distance, I can see white clouds on the horizon and endless mountains under the clouds.

Among them, there is a high mountain that stands out from the crowd and looks like a tile-roofed house. I think that is Wawu Mountain.

It seems very close, but it still has to pass through Liujiang Town and Yuping Mountain.

The weather is nice and there are many tourists.

The road conditions in Liujiang Town are average and appear to be smooth, but there are many potholes and they are obviously in disrepair.

The road is criss-crossed with ruts and speckled with horse hoof prints. The road paved with a mixture of earth and stone is obviously not as easy to walk as the road paved with blue bricks!

The mountains on both sides of the road are undulating. Although they are not high, they twist and turn thousands of times, giving people a sense of powerlessness "I don't know when the end will be". Fortunately, I know that Shushan is not far away, otherwise it would be very dangerous to walk on such a mountain road.

It may make people feel crazy! Turning one corner after another, repeating the same turn, and facing mountains after mountains, can really make people despair!

The further we go, the more cars and horses there are.

Feng Jiuxiao thought: Is there some temple fair nearby?

But even after passing through the entire Liujiang Town, no movement was found. Those on horseback or in cars kept on going without any intention of stopping.

Could it be that they also want to go to Shushan?

Naturally, there are many temples and Taoist temples on Shushan Mountain, perhaps for worshiping gods and Buddhas!

After walking for another thirty miles, the mountain road suddenly turned and a lake suddenly appeared.

The lake is surrounded by mountains and is quite high, but there is still a drop of more than ten feet from the mountain road.

There is a large section of slope between the mountain road and Pinghu. The distance is about fifty feet. The hillside is overgrown with weeds. At this time, several roads have been artificially pressed out. On some roads, there are obviously two deep ditches, and there are clearly countless

The ruts are superimposed.

A certain sage once said that there is no road in this world, but as more people walk, there will be a road.

The scenery of lakes and mountains in Fengjiuxiao is very poetic and picturesque. It is indeed a good place for leisure and relaxation. No wonder there are so many people visiting here. But I don’t know why they are all concentrated today.

When there are more people, natural roads will appear.

Many coachmen drove their carriages down the ruts on the slope. Seeing this scene, Liu Mizhou suddenly felt something and said: "If someone's wheel spacing is different from the width of the ruts, it will be troublesome.

!” It doesn’t work either with a wide wheel spacing or a narrow wheel spacing, both of which are prone to jamming.

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yes, this is thanks to Qin Shihuang, who unified the world and implemented carriages on the same track! Otherwise, we would have to change carriages when we go to a place."

Liu Mizhou fell into silence again. The words "unify the world" caused ripples in his heart again!

Feng Jiuxiao saw that he was sinking a little, and thought that he was missing Yu Nu. It was difficult to persuade him, so he could only sigh secretly.

Countless carriages and horses were scattered on the beach near the lake, making it extremely crowded.

Pang Shiwu suddenly said: "It's broken, there is no road ahead."

"It's impossible," Feng Jiuxiao lifted the curtain and took a look, "Oh, no wonder."

In front of it is a rope bridge, only seven feet wide, which can be passed by people and horses, but not by horse-drawn carriages!

Pang Shishi scolded: "Is this fucking intentional?" He thought someone built the bridge just to collect toll money! If it wasn't for money, why not build the bridge wider? Can't the carriage go directly?

Feng Jiuxiao pointed to the front, "Fifteen, look at the stone tablet there. On it is written the word "Two Heavens". It seems that after crossing the bridge, it is the territory of the Shushan Sect." Two Heavens, this side is ice, and that side is ice.

Fire? Or is this side fire and that side ice? Or is the other side of the bridge the domain of gods and this side is the domain of mortals? It’s actually called a double overpass! It’s not a small talk!

Pang Shishi said: "Damn! This name is quite domineering. What should I do with this car?"

Feng Jiuxiao looked at the tidal flat down the slope, pointed down and said, "Look there is a stable there. I don't know if I can store it there. Go and ask."

Pang Shiwu responded, jumped out of the carriage, and ran down the steep slope. He was as fast as a galloping horse! He was not afraid of being surprised by others. Since he was at the foot of Shu Mountain, how could he care so much?

After a while, he came back, then jumped up and got on the carriage, lifted the reins, shouted: "Drive!" and rushed down the slope! There is no road on this slope, but it is easier to walk without a road.

, there are no ruts except weeds, and it is not easy to get stuck.

But the slope was so steep that the two people in the car almost fell!

Feng Jiuxiao steadied her body, glanced at Liu Miezhou, and said helplessly: "This kid has always wanted to take revenge on me."

Liu Miezhou said expressionlessly: "Fifteen, can you slow down? Your car is going to overturn!"

Pang Shiwuqian said with a smile: "Just do it, you two are still afraid of tipping over? By the way, brother, how do you know that the stable can be used for storage? There is no sign saying storage there!"

Feng Jiuxiao was very skilled in martial arts, but he was still shaken in a panic in the car. He said bitterly: "Didn't you see the horses in the stable and the carriage next to them? Those saddles have five-colored gates, and some are even made of pure gold.

, indicating that these horses belong to different owners, why does a stable allow different people to store horses? Moreover, there happened to be a man taking a nap sitting next to him. There happened to be a table next to him. There happened to be an abacus on the table, and there happened to be an abacus next to it.

There is a ledger..."

Pang Shishi said, "I understand."

Zeng Yong's face turned green when he saw Pang Shiwu driving down the hill! He was not scared, but angry!

Damn it! The two people in your car are so good at martial arts. They are not afraid of wandering. Who is that person in my car? That is my beloved Ernie. Why don’t you rush her and shake her to pieces? You don’t even say hello.

So he rushed down, what should I do? Follow or not? Damn it! Zeng Yong cursed directly, then turned around and said: "Er Ni, Miss Chang, you guys come down first, I have to drive the car out."

Big Wolf's ears and eyes were very good, so he naturally heard Zeng Yong's scolding, and thought to himself: Pang Shishi is a bad boy now, and he wants to trick his big brother all the time! Naturally, he can't be stupid with him, he will turn around

Said: "Miss Yuan, Miss Chili Pepper, please come down for a moment. I have to drive the car down the slope. This slope is too steep and it is easy for the car to roll over!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The tidal flat is very large and there are many people. Not all people will store their mounts or carriages there. You can tell at a glance that it is a temporary place specially designed to slaughter outsiders.

In the stables built, most people will choose to park near the lake or find a tree further away to tie their horses, just to save a lot of high storage fees!

However, everything has two sides, and there are gains and losses. Because the carriages and horses are not stored, they can only stare at the carriages and horses at all times and dare not leave their sight for a moment, which restricts their activity radius. They dare not take a cruise ship to

When exploring the deep area of ​​the lake, you can only wander around. Every few steps you take, you have to look back to see if the carriage and horse are still there. After all, horses are alive and can run away when being ridden. Even if they are discovered, they cannot catch up.

!

It's no wonder that everyone is being cautious. It's because the reputation of this place is not good. It is said that there is a group of bandits here who specialize in stealing horses. They seem to be refugees and deserters who have escaped from the Central Plains.

After the carriage stopped, Pang Shishi gently placed a fifty-tael silver ingot in front of the accountant. The accountant immediately opened his sleepy eyes, stared at Pang Shishi and said, "What's the matter?"

Pang Shiwu was startled for a moment and said displeasedly: "Didn't I ask you just now and you forgot it so quickly?"

The cashier's eyes were sleepy and he said, "Oh, you were the one who came here just now to ask if we could store the carriages and horses?"

Pang Shishi was speechless: "How long has it been? You haven't even finished counting fifty yet and you forgot about me? I just asked you if I could store it here, and you said yes!"

The accountant said in a nonchalant manner: "Oh, what are you saving?"

Pang Shishi said: "Troika, including three horses. How much does it cost to deposit at one time?"

The accountant yawned and said listlessly: "How many days are you going to store it for?"

Pang Shishi looked at the accountant and asked questions. He couldn't help frowning and said: "I have a lot of money, so I care more about the price! If you don't tell me the price, how can I decide whether to save or not?"

If you want to deposit, if you don’t tell me the price, I don’t know how many days I can deposit! Is there anything wrong with me asking the price?” If it were anyone else, Pang Shishi would have turned the table over, but he still patiently explained.

, I hope the other party can answer in the normal way and tell him the price!

The accountant said calmly and calmly: "Why are you in a hurry? I have to know the number of days you want to store it before I can calculate how much it will cost you."

Pang Shiwu raised his eyebrows and became angry!

"Aren't you arguing with me?" He asked the price twice, but the other party refused to tell the price. Instead, he put the responsibility on him, meaning that if he didn't tell the number of days, he couldn't tell the price. This was special.

What is this if it's not a gangster? Your skin is itchy and you want to be beaten?

The accountant still looked like an old god, as if he didn't realize that the young man in front of him was already burning with anger. As long as he added more fuel to the fire, he might explode him!

He said calmly: "I don't have time to argue with you. My charging standard is based on the number of days of storage. The price is different for different days. The longer the number of days, the more expensive the price. For example, if a carriage is stored for a day, the charge is one or two.

Silver, of course, includes horses; if it is stored for one day and one night, you will have to charge two taels of silver! If it is two days, each car will be charged two taels per day. Remember, this is four taels. If it is two days, two taels of silver will be charged.

Night, double it, it’s eight taels! It’s equivalent to four taels a day!”

"Is it six taels on the third day?"

"Wrong! You said adding two, I said multiplying by two!"

Pang Shishi couldn't help being a little surprised, "What? Multiply by two? The third day is six taels, and the fourth day is eight taels?"

Mr. Accountant: "If you add the night, you have to multiply it by four!"

Qing Shiwu's face changed, and he suppressed his anger: "Damn, you guys are too...is this industry so profitable?" The word "too black" finally didn't come out! After all, I still need to talk about "cooperation" with others later!

The accountant smiled calmly: "Huge profits? Have you ever heard that interests and risks coexist? If you want to get as much benefit as you want, you have to take as much risk! To be honest, the risk of this business is not low, but the return is not high!"

"You... are there risks? What risks? Losing the horse or the car? Who is so awesome that he can steal such a big guy?"

"Ah, it's easy to get rid of petty thieves. They don't dare to compete with us. The main reason is that they have to fight hard when they encounter tough situations! Well, that's a real sword and a real gun!"

"At the foot of Shu Mountain, there are still people who dare to mess with local snakes like you?" Pang Shiwu didn't believe that anyone dared to cause trouble here!

Mr. Accountant seemed to acquiesce in the title of local snake, but he still said with a wry smile: "Business is difficult. These days, people and money die for food, and profit is the most important thing. I don't know how many people dare to take risks for the sake of petty convenience! Especially now.

The Central Plains is in chaos, and there are many homeless people and gangsters. They are desperate and can do anything! In fact, I also understand that people can only starve to death if they pretend to be aloof! So there are endless people who dare to take advantage of our stables!"

Pang Shishi was a little confused and thought to himself: "How come it's related to the refugees?" He then deliberately sneered: "You are too low-key! As the saying goes, if you don't have diamonds, you can't do the porcelain work! Since your leading brother dares to interfere here

The flag-bearing stick must be strong and have a profound background!"

Mr. Accountant raised his eyebrows and said quite contentedly: "That's right, my master can't be said to be a follower of whatever he says in this area, at least he always responds to everything! If anyone touches my master's bad luck without opening his eyes, the consequences will generally not be much better.
