Under the scorching sun, Li Aweng walked in front with steady and fast steps. Ji Qing had to speed up his pace to catch up with the old man's pace.

Behind them, Grandma Li and Li Jinniang held hands with each other and followed closely. They wanted to know how Ji Qingyue could build a stable and strong bridge in ten days.

After entering the village, Li Aweng went straight to Muramasa's house. Before entering the door, he called Muramasa's nickname: "Second Brother! Second Brother!!"

Fortunately, Muramasa was still at home. He walked quickly to the courtyard gate and wondered why Li Awen came here: "Old Li, haven't we finished talking about everything? Why are you back again? You still have so many people with you, but what happened? Son?"

Li Aweng waved his hand, raised his eyes to explore the courtyard, stretched his head and whispered to Muramasa in a low voice: "Second brother, Master Hong hasn't left yet?"

"He hasn't left yet, he's talking to me about things in the village!"

Li Aweng pulled Ji Qingyue over and showed a proud look: "Didn't Master Hong just issue a recruitment order? My Mr. Ji wants to give it a try. Go and ask Master Hong if you can meet him?"

Muramasa looked in disbelief and looked at the young man behind Li Aweng. He knew that this was the "young master of the boss" who was staying at Li Aweng's house. He not only supplied goods to Tai'an Building, but was also the driving force behind Hu Lian and Bai Diezi. A person that adults should rely on!

"Old Li Tou, Ji Langjun, please wait!" After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly into the house. He came out after a while, shouting excitedly: "Old Li Tou, take Ji Lang with you quickly. Come in!"

The courtyard of Muramasa's house is not big, so a group of people walked quickly to the front of the main house. Li Aweng gestured backward, and he and Ji Qingyue walked into the house first.

"Greetings to the County Magistrate! Well, the County Magistrate!" Ji Qingyue followed Li Aweng and knelt down to salute.

"Please get up quickly!"

Ji Qing was shocked when he saw the appearance of the county magistrate. The man in front of him was actually Mr. Hong, whom Li Aniang had repeatedly praised for his good looks?

Hong Yu saw Aniang Li and three others standing outside the house quietly raising their heads, and smiled and asked them to come in together.

When Li Aniang peeked outside the house, she couldn't believe that the black coal-like man in front of her was the original Magistrate Hong who "looked like Pan An".

Not only has it become darker, but it has also become miserable.

Magistrate Hong was wearing a linen robe, which was wide and large, as if he had borrowed it from some villager. The room was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine, and one of his legs was tied with a wooden bar, wrapped in thick gauze, and placed on a bench so as to be inconspicuous.

The magistrate is wounded.

Li Aniang was confused, wondering if she was thinking of Erlang who was far away in the Ganzhou barracks, and asked worriedly: "Master Hong, what's wrong with you? Why did you hurt your foot?"

Today, Mr. Hong is not only dark and thin, but the skin on his face is also peeling, and his lips are too dry and have many small cracks.

Hong Yu raised his hand and waved it, and everyone saw his scarred fingers again. He had dug dirt somewhere, and none of his fingernails were intact. "Aunt Li, I just looked a little miserable, but actually nothing happened."

Everyone knew in their hearts that this gentleman had probably just finished inspecting the severely affected areas. They had not suffered any major accidents here, so he only appeared in their village at this time.

Hong Yu did not take his injuries so seriously. Compared with those who were seriously injured, they suffered not only physical injuries, but also psychological trauma, which would be difficult to heal in their lifetime. His injury was really Very trivial.

"Let's talk about building bridges, Ji Langjun. Muramasa said you can build bridges?" Hong Yu looked at Ji Qingyue, waiting for him to give an accurate answer.

Ji Qingyue walked to the chair brought out by Muramasa and sat down, asking Li Aniang and the others to find a place to sit down. He said, "I did come up with a bridge plan."

Hong Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Qingyue seriously, but did not answer immediately. Ji Qingyue did not give him too much time to think, and directly pointed out: "Sir, now is not the time to ask how I know this bridge-building method. , but to see if this method can be used and whether it works well."

Under the signal from Hong Yu's eyes, Ji Qingyue turned to Muramasa and made a request: "Muramasa, can you give me a bundle of chopsticks?"

When his name was suddenly called, Muramasa subconsciously looked at the county magistrate. When he saw Hong Yu nodded slightly, he went to the kitchen and took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Ji Qingyue.

Ji Qingyue thanked him softly, sat on the chair and turned to face Hong Yu.

Everyone was sitting around a dining table, and Ji Qingyue was sitting on Hong Yu's right hand side.

Under Hong Yu's puzzled gaze, Ji Qingyue played a small game of "building blocks", except that the blocks were replaced with chopsticks.

"My lord, please take a look."

Ji Qingyue first placed two chopsticks in parallel, placed one chopstick vertically above the left side of the two chopsticks, and then placed one chopstick vertically below the right side of the two chopsticks.

At this time, there were four chopsticks placed on the table, two in parallel, with the two vertical ones sandwiching the other two horizontally parallel chopsticks.

Everyone watched Ji Qingyue's movements intently. Ji Qingyue took out two more chopsticks, inserted them diagonally from right to left under the vertical chopsticks on the right, and then placed them above the vertical chopsticks on the left.

This step makes the first two parallel chopsticks leave the table and have a slight arc.

There are six chopsticks on the table at this time, two vertically parallel and four horizontally parallel.

Ji Qingyue took out a chopstick, placed it vertically under the two chopsticks that had just been inserted, and repeated the steps of inserting two horizontally parallel chopsticks.

The curvature is already very obvious.

With the addition of one vertical log and two horizontal logs, a simple arch bridge is clearly presented in front of everyone.

The effect of this method of building models on site is naturally clear at a glance.

While Hong Yu was thinking silently, Ji Qingyue once again made another request to Muramasa: "Can you please Muramasa to help me find a few more stones."

Muramasa only had admiration in his heart, and he quickly found a few broken bricks under the corner of his yard wall and handed them to Ji Qingyue.

In full view of everyone, Ji Qingyue placed the bricks one by one on the arch bridge model.

Aunt Li and others were nervous and did not dare to breathe hard. They held their hands and leaned back slightly for fear of touching the table.

"scare--"

Every time Ji Qingyue placed a brick, the bridge deck pressed down a little, and finally almost stretched into a low and gentle arc.

Three broken bricks were actually put on it!

The simple model made of twelve chopsticks can withstand bricks weighing nearly ten kilograms.

You must know that these dozen chopsticks only weigh one or two, but they can bear things a hundred times more than their own weight!

Hong Yu's expression changed from calm at the beginning to excitement at the end. He was overjoyed and asked excitedly: "What's going on?"

Ji Qingyue turned on the explanation mode and tried to explain the scientific principles here in simple words: "Sir, this is a bridge called a 'thru-wood arch bridge'. The way it is built is as I just demonstrated, through the wood. It is stacked in a criss-cross pattern. After it is built, the weight of the wood and the pull between them make the bridge stable and less likely to collapse. The advantage is that there is no need to over-process the wood. The disadvantage is that the calculation of the jamming position of the wood must be accurate to avoid accidents. deviation."
