Chapter 78 If you want to build a bridge successfully, you need to find an aquatic child to drive the piles
Abao didn't understand, she just thought Zhao Heng's words were strange.
Because Abao was sitting on Zhao Heng's lap, she didn't see the rain in Zhao Heng's eyes.
In the evening, Yang Tiejiang and Zhang, who were almost collapsed, came to Zhao's house.
"Brother Zhao, is there any news about Dabao?" Zhang had already fainted again, and Blacksmith Yang was shaking a little. He asked Zhao Heng worriedly.
Yesterday they knelt in front of Jiang's house. Jiang Shusheng only asked an old slave to follow him. After searching for a whole day, he still found nothing. Uncle Feng went back to the Jiang's house to do some work today, so the couple found nothing.
Zhao Heng hummed, his voice a little ethereal: "After dark, you go to the new bridge. I suspect that Dabao was driven into the pile."
"It's been two days since Dabao disappeared. If he is really sealed in a stake, you have to be mentally prepared." Zhao Heng told his guess truthfully.
If it was really as he guessed, then Jiang Shusheng was really cruel.
When Blacksmith Yang heard this, a big man couldn't hold on anymore and fell straight to the ground. Zhao Xuan quickly stretched out his hand to help him get up.
"Xuan'er, come here, dad has something to tell you." Zhao Heng waved towards Zhao Xuan.
………………
By the river, because pilings were needed to build the bridge, seven or eight small buildings like stone pillars had been built in the river. These seven or eight small buildings were eventually connected together by a beam. Blacksmith Yang and Zhao Xuan worked separately.
The two men held sharp iron rods in their hands and searched for them one by one.
For nearly half an hour, Zhao Xuan and Blacksmith Yang searched all eight small buildings and poked holes in them all, but they could not find Dabao.
"Uncle Yang, there is still the beam above." Zhao Xuan took a deep breath and said to Blacksmith Yang.
Blacksmith Yang could hardly hold on anymore. The palm of his hand holding the iron rod was full of blood, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. But thinking that his son had not been found yet, he and Zhao Xuan moved toward the place above with the smell of blood in their mouths.
Duan Xiaohengliang poked it.
A quarter of an hour later, the dying Yang Dabao was found. It was the beam that had been sealed with stones. Zhao Xuan carried Yang Dabao on his back and ran towards the shore quickly, with Yang Blacksmith staggering behind.
However, as soon as the two people came ashore with Dabao, the small layer of bottom piles and beams that so many people had just built today collapsed instantly.
Blacksmith Yang looked back, looking worried.
"Uncle Yang, Dabao's breathing sounds very weak." Zhao Xuan shouted.
Blacksmith Yang stumbled and fell directly to the ground, breaking his nose.
………………
Zhao family,
The old Yao Wang and his wife were giving Yang Dabao acupuncture in the house, and the rest of the people were sitting in the main room outside waiting for news.
Wang Chunniang wrapped A Bao, who was already a little sleepy, with a blanket. She lowered her voice and said, "So... no wonder Xiao Hui didn't find anyone. It's because someone sealed A Bao in the beam early..."
"Have you ever heard of driving piles?" Zhao Heng sat there with a gloomy expression: "Driving piles means using human sacrifices when building a bridge. That's what happened to Dabao this time. Today I went to the river to get some
I participated in building the bridge, but was rejected. During this period, I heard someone say that those stone beams and small piles were prepared in advance and just needed to be built directly, so I became suspicious."
Zhao Heng still concealed the fact that he had recovered his eyesight in front of Yang Tiejiang and his wife.
"I know, how could I not know?" Blacksmith Yang said in a hoarse voice: "In our blacksmith profession, my father said that a long time ago, some people would sacrifice human beings in order to make swords."
"Brother Zhao, when we brought Dabao out today, all the piles and beams collapsed. Tomorrow..." Only then did Yang Blacksmith remember this, and he stood up quickly.
"The soldiers are coming to stop you." Zhao Heng waved his hand. Seeing that A Bao was already sleepy, he reached out and picked up A Bao and carried him to the east room.
On that day, Mr. and Mrs. Yang Tiejiang stayed at Zhao's house until midnight, and Mr. and Mrs. Yao Wang spent a lot of effort to rescue Yang Dabao.
"You have to go back to recuperate for at least a month. You can take it back and watch it." Old Medicine King warned.
…………
The next day,
Everyone in the village discovered that there was something wrong with the bridge repair project. The work that a group of people worked hard on yesterday was completely destroyed. Wherever there were piles and beams in the river, they were all reduced to rubble.
"How shameless is this? Isn't this money from my son? How did you work yesterday?" Mrs. Jiang originally disagreed with Jiang Shusheng's help in building the bridge in the village. Now that she saw that the bridge repair project was ruined, she
He stood by the river angrily and shouted loudly.
"General, this..." Jiao Lizheng didn't know how to defend himself: "It was obviously fine yesterday."
Jiao Lizheng was also a little panicked. These ruins alone would definitely cost Jiang Shusheng dozens of taels of silver...
With such a large amount, there is no guarantee that Jiang Shusheng will not lose his temper and blame him.
Jiang Shusheng was standing by the river with his hands behind his back, and Jiang Chen was jumping around in circles beside him.
"Jiao Lizheng, everything suddenly collapsed. I will ask someone to come and take a look. Maybe it is a feng shui problem." Jiang Shusheng glanced at Jiao Lizheng and said.
Jiao Lizheng immediately lowered his head and said, "Yes."
At noon, the man Jiang Shusheng invited had arrived. The man walked around the river and finally said to Jiang Shusheng in front of everyone present: "Report to the general, there is something wrong with the feng shui here. If you want
To successfully build a bridge, you need to find an aquatic child to drive the piles."
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was stunned.
Jiang Shusheng looked at everyone and then asked: "What is aquatic life? These children are all born from human life."
"A child who grew up on a boat." the man replied.
"There are no children born on the ship. There are none."
"No one in our village is like this."
"Isn't this driving piles a bit cruel?"
While everyone was talking to each other, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiao, who were watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, grabbed Mrs. Jiang and said, "There is a baby born in the water in our village! Then the Zhao family's treasure is Zhao Heng."
The couple picked it up from the river!"
Zhao Heng, who was standing in the crowd, narrowed his eyes.
In order to cover up Abao's origin, their external rhetoric was indeed picked up from the river.
"You can pick it up from the water. You are close to the water." The man who read Feng Shui nodded and said.
Zhao Heng snorted lightly. He was indeed right. Jiang Shusheng had really made a good calculation.
He sealed Dabao in the beam. If Dabao was not discovered, Dabao would be killed. Who let Dabao see him having an affair with Chu Er?
If Dabao is discovered, then in order to save the child, the beam must be smashed. This will give him a reason to find a Feng Shui master, and by the way, he will point the finger at the Zhao family and Abao.
It’s really the most negative line!
"To become rich, you need to build bridges and roads. I wonder if Brother Zhao is willing to donate the child you picked up?" Jiang Shusheng looked at Zhao Heng and asked in a calm voice.
Zhao Xuan immediately hugged A Bao tightly and wouldn't let anyone get close.
