Chapter 131 Bridge
Three days later, raindrops fell, and Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng took the two children out.
At the entrance of the village, they met the leader of the guards. When he heard that they were going to check the road conditions, he immediately expressed his willingness to go with them.
Master Decheng smiled and explained to him: "If you want to ride horses, we won't wait for you. We plan to walk."
After hesitating for a moment, the leader of the guards said that Master Decheng and his group would go first, and after he arranged some things, they would follow on horseback.
Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng walked in front, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan followed behind. After they left the village, there was no one else on the road.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan immediately wanted to compete. After saying something to the two elders, they rushed forward.
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng walked slowly behind him. Master Decheng whispered, "I have made some progress these days."
Shanzheng Zhenren smiled and said: "Bringing them out to experience the seven emotions, six desires and five tastes of the mortal world will also be beneficial to me.
When I was young, I was not as calm as them.
Hearing a few words of praise from others will make me happy for the whole day. ”
"You are being modest. I remember that many people in the sect praised you for your gentlemanly demeanor."
"Brother, my senior brother also praised you in front of us for your open-mindedness and bright future."
Master Decheng laughed out loud: "Ha, ha, ha, I was a little frivolous back then. Now that I know the truth, I have never regretted my actions back then."
The longer Shan Zhengzhen and Master Decheng spend together, the more he can understand why Master Fang Cheng and Master Decheng became close friends.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan had already run to the front by now. They saw the muddy river water and the countless potholes on the road, and they both became a little nervous about the road ahead.
They still ran forward for a while, and when they saw that the road ahead was blocked, they both showed expressions of "as expected".
The two of them returned and told the truth to Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng that it was impossible for the caravan to pass through this road in the next two days.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan expressed their desire to cross the bridge and take a look at the road on the other side. Master Decheng looked at the bridge, which was shaking even without anyone on it, and nodded in agreement with their action.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan quickly turned around and walked towards the bridge. The leader of the guards on horseback saw them walking up the bridge, and the people traveling with him frowned.
"Boss, should we warn them that this bridge doesn't look solid?"
The leader of the guards hesitated, shook his head and said, "Let's take a look. They have already reached the bridge."
They actually stood there and watched Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan slowly cross the bridge before they ran forward.
When Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng heard the sound of horse hooves, they hid to the side of the road. When they turned around and saw that it was the leader of the guards and his entourage, they both stopped.
When the leader of the guards saw them, he also jumped off his horse and greeted them with a smile: "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Shan, I just saw your two little ones crossing the bridge."
"They young people are impatient to listen to our old-fashioned talk. They want to cross the bridge and play. Let them go."
The leader of the guards thought that Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng trusted the two kids too much, but the two did cross the bridge very smoothly just now.
Master Decheng and the leader of the guards said that they would walk slowly so as not to delay their work.
The guard leader smiled and said, "You dare to let two young men go. The three of them are very experienced. Let them go ahead and check."
The three young men mounted their horses and galloped forward. Master Shanzheng and the head of the guards laughed and said, "These three have some skills on foot."
The head of the guards smiled and nodded: "They are originally from the escort agency. If we hadn't brought them with us on this trip, we wouldn't have dared to form a caravan with so many people.
We'd like to ask the two gentlemen to accompany us on the rest of the journey. ”
Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng looked at each other and felt that the guard leader and his men could still get along, so they nodded and said, "We still need you to take care of us a little bit."
The three of them walked slowly forward. After a while, the three people on horseback came back, and they all looked unhappy.
The leader of the guards felt his heart sink. Seeing the three of them, he shook his head and said, "Boss, the road ahead is blocked. We need to change our route."
The leader of the guards got on his horse and said to the two masters, Decheng and Shanzheng, "I'm going to check the road conditions first."
Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng nodded and said they would come later.
The two of them also quickened their pace at this time, but when they arrived, the leader of the guards had been squatting beside the broken road for a while.
After taking a closer look, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng asked, "Let's go a little further from the edge and take a look at the road conditions ahead."
The guard leader looked at the two of them and nodded. He discussed with the three people he brought with him, “We all saw the condition of the bridge when we came here.
People can walk on it, but when our caravan passes through, we need to ask the villagers to help consolidate the bridge surface.
We can use thick wooden frames to pull horse-drawn carriages across the gap in the road. ”
The guard leader's plan was very good, but unfortunately Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng turned around and shattered his idea.
"There are two more broken roads ahead. This road was built sloppily."
After hearing this, the leader of the guards ran over from the edge and looked at the two broken roads ahead.
After a while, he came back with sweat all over his face and shook his head: "In this situation, we can only see what the road conditions are like on the other side."
They walked back, and Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng exchanged glances, neither of them had the heart to say anything to comfort them.
After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan crossed the bridge, they kept walking forward. They felt that the road conditions on this side were better than those on the other side. Naturally, they saw people turning back from the other side.
Shi Zelan waved at Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng, and the guard leader's eyes lit up when he saw them.
"How's the road condition over there?"
Shi Zelan heard the words of the guard leader, but with the river rushing so fast, how could an ordinary person like her hear the roar of the people on the other side?
She waved her hand at the other side and pointed to her ears to indicate that she couldn't hear.
The leader of the guards was a little disappointed. He turned his head and looked at Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng and gestured several times with his hands. Shi Zelan nodded and jumped a few times.
The two of them laughed with relief and said to the leader of the guards, "The road conditions on the other side are better than this side, but they still need to go a little further."
"Okay, great."
The leader of the guards felt relieved all of a sudden. If it was just a matter of solving the problem of an unstable bridge, it should be a relatively easy arrangement.
When they reached the bridge, the leader of the guards handed the reins to the person next to him. He went straight up the bridge and stood there for a while before walking towards the other side.
