Chapter 709 Bamboo sedan chair
The mountain road is rugged and not easy to walk.

Sikong Lei used to be the mayor of Xiangxi, so he already knew about this situation.

So before I came to Xiangxi, I changed into cloth shoes for mountain roads.

Although walking is a bit slow, it is very easy.

But the bodyguards such as Zhu Menghai and Mai Tekai who followed behind couldn't do it.

They all have leather shoes under their feet.

Along the way, I haven't walked more than a mile.

Just cry one by one to die.

Especially Zhu Menghai, for this recognition of relatives.

But well-groomed.

Under the feet are wearing high heels.

When he reached a mountain pass, he finally couldn't stand still and sat on the ground.

"What's the matter with you?" Matt Kay stepped forward and asked.

"My feet hurt so much..." Zhu Menghai took off his high heels and almost cried when he saw it.

It turned out that there were several blisters on the instep.

The blisters were as big as a thumb, and the small ones were as big as soybeans. Some of the blisters were worn out where the high heels were in contact, and red blood flowed out.

Sikong Lei looked back and saw this scene, and his thick eyebrows frowned: "I told you not to waste too much time on the side of the bamboo bridge, but you don't believe me, otherwise we can still rent a bamboo sedan chair at this time, and take us with you." You went to the cottage where Patriarch Zhuang is, but now... you can only let your subordinates carry you on their backs."

He originally wanted to memorize it, after all, Zhu Menghai is very thin.

But when he thought that he didn't know Zhu Menghai very well, he immediately shut up and didn't mention it.

However, his suggestion was accepted by Maitekai. Maitekai looked at the tall bodyguard captain who was in charge of security this time: "Please, as long as you can carry my sister to the Zhuang patriarch's house, the fee I'll double it for you."

"OK." The tall bodyguard captain naturally had no objection.

But Zhu Menghai has an opinion: "Brother, I don't want him to carry it! I can walk by myself."

"How do you go?" Maitekai said with a headache.

Zhu Menghai gritted his teeth and tried a few times on the spot, but in the end he had no choice but to compromise and look at the tall bodyguard captain.

At this time, the sun was setting, and there was no sunlight in the col.

Blocked by the reflections of the surrounding mountains, the light suddenly dimmed.

The tall bodyguard captain was about to squat down and carry Zhu Menghai on his back to move forward, but the next second he backed away a few meters with a pale face.

"There are snakes, everyone be careful!" The tall bodyguard captain took out the electric baton he carried with him, with a nervous expression on his face, and several other security guards around heard the news, and quickly surrounded Zhu Menghai and Mai Tekai.

But soon a look of horror appeared on their faces. Right in front of the col, there was actually this white and white boa constrictor lying there. Because of its huge size, it blocked the way forward.

Seeing this, Sikong Lei took out his dagger and wanted to step forward to kill it.

But it was stopped by Liu Xing.

After Liu Xing comforted Zhu Menghai, he twisted the ice dragon finger on his thumb, and then looked at the boa constrictor.

The ice dragon finger has the function of guarding beasts. If this big python has telepathy, it should be afraid. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late for Sikong Lei to take action.

But such a situation didn't happen, the big boa constrictor swam its huge body and headed towards the mountain forest to the east after spitting out a letter and glanced at Liu Xing, and disappeared within just a breath.

Maitekai watched this scene, his eyes widened in shock and he was speechless.

Zhu Menghai is also a little confused, Liu Xing has the ability to control beasts, she heard from Peter David, and Peter David also told her that Liu Xing can use the ability to control two big white tigers.

At that time, I just listened to it and didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, Peter David sometimes likes to brag.

But seeing is believing now, and I realized that what Peter David said to her was not exaggerated at all.

Liu Xing can not only control beasts, but also control such terrifying creatures as boa constrictors.

If this spreads out, I'm afraid the whole world will be shocked by it.

But Zhu Menghai didn't want to do this, because he knew that the ability to control beasts was just one of the bamboo god's inheritance.

And she is also a descendant of the Bamboo God, if she can have the ability, that would be great.

Thinking of this, Zhu Menghai smiled gratifiedly, and hurriedly walked towards Liu Xing's position with bare feet.

"You can't do this." Sikong Leilian reminded.

"It's okay." Zhu Menghai replied.

If she can't bear even this bit of hardship, then what kind of relationship does she have?

When Liu Xing heard the footsteps, he looked back at Zhu Menghai and shook his head. After looking at the surrounding environment, he said, "Who is carrying a hatchet or something like that?"

"No." A bodyguard shook his head.

"I didn't bring it either." Maitekai said with a wry smile.

"Can I do it with a dagger?" Sikong Lei replied.

"Alright, let's make do with it!" Liu Xing took the dagger handed over by Sikong Lei, weighed it, and walked towards the south bamboo forest in the east.

"What is Liu Xing going to do?" Maitekai curiously asked Sikong Lei beside him.

Zhu Menghai and the bodyguards were also very curious.

Little Peanut, who was snuggled up at Sikong Lei's feet, said at this moment: "I know what my brother is going to do. He wants to make bamboo sedan chairs out of southern bamboo."

"I... I think so too." Qianqian agreed with her head tilted.

Liu Xing made bamboo sedan chairs in Xiangxi last year, allowing local people to carry tourists from other places around the mountains in Xiangxi. Later, because the risk factor was too high, it was abandoned.

Now that Zhu Menghai's feet were blistered and he couldn't walk, he naturally wanted to use Nanzhu to make a bamboo sedan chair and carry it to the Zhuang patriarch's house.

When Maitekai heard this, he smiled wryly: "Although this bamboo sedan chair is not a high-tech thing, it is probably impossible to make it in a short period of time!"

"Liu Xing!" Speaking of this, Maitekai shouted towards the direction of the south bamboo forest in the east: "Don't waste your time, please, we will be in trouble when the sky is completely dark."

"It won't waste too much time." Liu Xing's voice came, and after a while, he came over with a severed bamboo on his back.

This Nanzhu is as thick as an arm and is seven or eight meters long.

Seeing that Liu Xing was struggling to carry it, Sikonglei hurriedly stepped forward to catch it on his shoulder.

"I still need a piece of southern bamboo, please wait a moment." Liu Xing walked into the southern bamboo forest after wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Be back soon.

But there are two more severed southern bamboos on the shoulders.

Judging from the length, it's only two meters, so I'm afraid it's for lifting a bar.

Sikong Lei didn't ask any further questions, and stepped forward to take it and put it on the ground.

Zhang Qiufa and Yue Furong, who were in charge of security in the surrounding area, came back. They also made bamboo sedan chairs. After explaining a few words to the tall bodyguard captain in charge, they joined the bamboo sedan chair making team.

Seeing this, Maitekai had no choice but to take Zhu Menghai and sit on a stone beside him and wait.

I thought the bamboo sedan chair would take at least an hour or two with the joint efforts of four or five people.

The next thing he knew he was wrong.

I saw that Liu Xing used Sikong Lei's dagger to break open the seven or eight meter long Nanzhu with two swipes. The sharpness of his technique and the speed of his movements are simply astonishing.

The bodyguards in charge of security around them were also frightened when they saw this scene.

If you want to play daggers, they will too.

But if you want to achieve Liu Xing's smooth flow and break Nanzhu, I'm afraid it won't be possible at all.

And there's a lot they can't do.

After Liu Xing broke through the southern bamboo, he began to break the bamboo.

Because of the tight schedule, he used the technique of breaking the strips with seven stars.

With the flick of the fingers, the dagger is swung.

Soon the Nanzhu in his hand turned into strips of strips.

Zhang Qiufa rolled up his sleeves, took the bamboo strips and started weaving.

Yue Furong also joined the weaving team, one left and one right with Zhang Qiufa, and soon the prototype of a sedan chair appeared in front of everyone.

Maitekai was stunned, dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

Zhu Menghai also covered his mouth in shock.

He really didn't expect that the descendant of the Bamboo God would have such powerful means.

If there were more artisans like Liu Xing in Xiangxi, the world would change.

In her mind, bamboo craftsman has always been a sewer profession, which is looked down upon by others.

Even if one reaches the level of a master, one can only earn a living in the countryside.

Once in a big city, I'm afraid there will be no place to stand at all.

But now the idea is gone.

Because Liu Xing let her see the power of the bamboo craftsman.

This pair of skillful hands can turn Nanzhu into handicrafts.

I'm afraid it can really change the world.

Peanut likes to see Liu Xing weaving bamboo products.

This time, seeing Zhu Menghai, Mai Tekai and others adore Liu Xing like a big star, they are very happy. In order to show it, they quickly ran to Liu Xing's side to help.

Qianqian also followed, her big eyes staring at Liu Xing's hands.

She wanted to see clearly Liu Xing's weaving techniques.But helplessly, he could only see the flipping of his fingers. As for other movements, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

Soon, Liu Xing's strips were broken.

It took the prototype of the bamboo sedan chair in Zhang Qiufa's hand, and began to supplement it with pieces of bamboo strips. Because of its proficiency, his eyes didn't need to look at the movements of his hands, but looked at the surrounding environment. Seeing something normal, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yue Furong knew that the bamboo bridge was weaving very quickly, so she brought Zhang Qiufa to deal with the two southern bamboos on the ground.

These two southern bamboos are used to carry poles.

It can be used with a little processing.

But in the middle position, the bamboo sedan chair must be fixed with tenons.

The two of them don't have such skills, only Liu Xing can do it.

After drawing the position of the tenon, the couple stood aside and waited.

In about ten minutes, the bamboo sedan chair in Liu Xing's hand was woven.

After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he picked up the dagger and began to carve the tenon on the lifting pole. The structure of this tenon is very simple, as long as it does not collapse.

So he let go of his hands, and in just a few tens of seconds, an oval tenon appeared on the two lifting bars.

The reason why the mortise is oval is that there will be two smaller bamboos in the mortise, and the mortise itself is round, so the oval mortise is naturally the best choice .

This is the real insider watching the doorway, and the layman watching the fun.
