Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Chapter 428 A huge boulder blocks the road (please subscribe and vote monthly)
The stone is at least two or three meters in diameter! Not to mention that the rolling process also brought a lot of gravel, branches and clods with it.

If you smash them down, they will all turn into pulp!
If there were only Qingyan and the others, they would definitely hide in the space immediately.

But now that there are Chen Jinshi and others behind, they must find another way. The problem is that this road can only go forward or backward, and you can't avoid it if you stick to the mountain wall.

Even if the people avoided it, the animals would have suffered some injuries, and the cars would have probably needed major repairs.

It was definitely too late to retreat at this time, and it was not like a car that could shift into reverse gear, and besides, there were three cars behind it.

Jin Jin made an instant decision and shouted to the back to tell them to stop and not move forward, because after visual inspection, the car behind them had not yet entered the range where the boulder was falling, and their car was more dangerous.

Seeing that they had stopped the car obediently, it had already shaken the reins while shouting, allowing the big bear to speed up and run forward.

In this way, you can avoid the big rock as much as possible. The damage of gravel and branches is at least not that great.

Besides, they can also take advantage of the chaos to collect some gravel into the space to avoid hitting them and their vehicles. Big rocks are too conspicuous, but gravel and soil are still acceptable.

Now I hope Chen Jinshi and Xia Xinman can control their horses and cows. It will be very troublesome if the horses and cows are frightened.

The big bear is still very powerful, and there is really nothing in their carriage, everything is stored in the space, so they still narrowly avoided the big rock.

Qingyan watched with her consciousness and took away some gravel and dirt that could hurt them or the three cars behind them into her own space.

Some loose clods of soil and small branches cannot be hit at all if they are not taken care of. That would be too weird. Hearing a loud noise not far behind, the ground shook.

They stopped the car and looked over. The road behind them was blocked by the stone. It seemed that her visual assessment was wrong. The stone was four to five meters in diameter and blocked the road.

It was raining, and the splash was full of mud. If it were dry, it would probably be dusty.

This time also taught Qingyan and Huang Jin a lesson. From now on, they should not just focus on the front, but also pay attention to the left, right and behind. It is best to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions.

If we had known in advance this time, we could not only stop and dodge in advance, but also let Chou Chou put the stone into the space in advance.

This is also a way to teach them to be good.

When no more gravel or branches fell, Xia Xinman's voice came from over there.

I just heard him shouting over there: "Brother Huang! Miss Xue! Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Qingyan looked over with her consciousness and found that they were all standing over the boulder, with worried faces on their faces.

It was probably because Xia Xinman had a loud voice, so he asked him to shout and ask about the situation.

Jin Jin also shouted back: "It's okay! We escaped and were not injured.

This side is blocked by this stone. You can't get through from here. Do you know of any other way around it? "

It was Xia Xinman who replied: "No, there are paths that can be bypassed in other places, but not here. These two mountains are big and steep, stretching for dozens of miles. I heard that there are ferocious beasts on the mountains. We don’t dare to go up the mountain without a livestock cart.”

Of course, if there really was no livestock cart, they didn't have to go up the mountain and could just climb over the boulders.

Huang Jin looked to the left and right. The mountains on both sides were indeed quite steep, and it was impossible for a livestock cart to go up.

It picked up a thick tree trunk that had been brought down by a boulder on the ground, and inserted it under the stone to see if it could pry the stone away.

Qingyan looked at it speechlessly. Although she still knew the principle of levers, which was very commendable, she didn't look at the stone stuck there and it was almost a perfect fit. Even if it could be pried, where could it be pried?

Qingyan thought for a while and said to the three people on the other side of the stone: "Do you have a barrel over there?"

Xia Xinman: "Yes, we all carry barrels in the car."

This is used to feed water to cattle on the road, and is usually carried with you at all times.

Qingyan nodded. The rain was now very light and it had returned to its misty state, which made it easier for her to implement her idea. Otherwise, she would have to wait.

Then he said to Huang Jin: "Don't waste your efforts there, the stone is too big and you can't move it like this.

In this way, you go pick up some dead branches nearby, and the two of us climb up to the stone, light a fire on top, and then light another fire under the stone. When the stone burns to a certain level, pour a bucket of cold water on it. , the stone will crack immediately.

At that time, we only need to move the gravel away, and the road will be cleared. "

Huang Jin asked with some confusion: "Is this useful? There is still some water under the stone, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to light."

Qingyan nodded, "Just listen to me. It will definitely be useful. The water will not be a problem for us. When the time comes, just put some gravel on it and light a fire on the gravel."

Qingyan explained to it while holding the charcoal out.

Huang Jin's eyes lit up when he heard that there was such a method. He had been thinking about using some talisman just now.

To be honest, it's just inconvenient now. There are three people watching from behind. They can't use any supernatural means. Otherwise, it's not impossible to just take the stone away or break it into pieces.

But if this is the case, it's a bit scary. If Qingyan's method works, it would be the best. If it doesn't work, she can also use this method to quietly paste a blasting charm on the stone and directly destroy it. It exploded.

The rocks rolled down from above and brought a lot of mud and water with them. They had to be careful if they wanted to go up. Not only would their clothes be stained, but they would also be very slippery.

The stones are a bit square and there are not many points of focus, but this is not difficult for Qingyan and Huang Jin, their skills are still acceptable.

Qingyan took a running start and climbed onto the stone in a few steps. Then Huangjin threw a sack of charcoal upwards and waited for Qingyan to catch it before going to pick up dead branches nearby.

Chen Jinshi and the other three were standing under the stone. When they saw Qingyan climbing up onto the stone, carrying a sack, they asked with some confusion: "Miss Xue, how did you get up onto the stone? But what method did you think of?"

Qingyan just spoke to Huang Jin in a low voice, so they didn't hear her clearly, so she told them the method she thought of again. The three of them were a little surprised. They had never heard of this method of breaking stones. Uncle Chen, the coachman who was watching the car over there, came over and said, "I heard this method from my neighbor's grandfather before. He used to do it." An old stonemason used this method when he was asked to dig mountains and build a road. When he encountered huge rocks blocking the road and could not continue, an old stonemason used this method.

It's just that I was only ten years old at the time, so I just ignored it. I didn't expect it to be used here. The girl is really talented. "

"Miss Xue is indeed well-informed. We are really ashamed..." Chen Jinshi and the other three also praised her.

Qingyan said modestly: "I heard this from my elders at home and remember it. I don't know if it's useful yet, so let's give it a try."

"it is good."

"Okay, let's go get water right now."

"I'll pick up dead branches."

"I'll use gravel to build a small platform underneath..."

Several people responded one after another.

After saying that, Xia Xinman and Xiao Qingfeng went to the creek not far away to fetch water. Although there was water on the ground, it was not enough to fill the bucket, so they had to walk a while to the creek they passed before. .

Qingyan took out flint and charcoal and started to light a fire. After the charcoal started to light up, she placed the branches picked up by the gold on the charcoal fire.

The gold was picked up from some places nearby that were not exposed to rain. Although it was not dry, at least it was not that wet.

Put them on the charcoal fire and wait for the charcoal fire to dry out the moisture on the wood, and they will light up naturally.

Just burning charcoal is definitely not enough. Although they mentioned that they carry charcoal in the car when roasting bamboo, they can't use it too unrestrictedly. Taking out this big sack is already the limit, and taking it out will be a bit unjustifiable. .

When the fire grew stronger and stronger and turned into a big fire, they moved some points and placed them on the gravel paved on both sides to let them burn the sides.

In this way, they lit three fires, one on the middle stone, and then one on each side.

There are no points close to the mountain wall. They are afraid that if the mountain wall is burned and rocks continue to fall from the top, then they will make it more difficult for themselves and the road will be blocked even more.

These three fires were added with thick tree trunks, so they stayed far away and waited until they were almost burned before watering them.

After the fire had been burning for almost half an hour, Qingyan felt that it was almost done. When she was about to ask Chen Jinshi and the others to water both sides at the same time, there was a loud thunder in the sky, which startled them.

Then she felt heavy raindrops falling. Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted: "Stay away from this rock! Everyone go to the car to hide from the rain. It's raining hard, maybe we don't need to splash water!" "

Don't tell me, it really works.

When they all returned to the car to take shelter from the rain, the rain became heavier and heavier. Qingyan looked at the rocks in the car, because there was a distance, so she paid attention with her spiritual consciousness.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. After the fire was extinguished, the rain fell directly on the stone. Under the alternation of cold and heat, a crackling sound was heard from the stone, and cracks soon began to appear!
Qingyan listened to the crackling sound of the stone exploding and clenched her fist, it was done!
As long as it cracks, even if it doesn't break into pieces, they can break the stone by then. This is just a cover, at least Chen Jinshi and the others can't see it.

The result was that the stone cracked on its own without them having to do anything. The fire on it burned for a long time, so there were more cracks on it.

Of course, there were also on both sides. After all, the fires on both sides burned relatively high at that time, burning the stones on both sides red. As soon as the rain poured down, gravel fell off on both sides.

It started out as small stones, and then turned into large pieces. Apparently Chen Jinshi and the others saw it, and Qingyan heard their cheers.

However, it was raining heavily, so they couldn't go out to collect the stones, so they had to wait.

Fortunately, Xia Xinman and the others built a shed before, so they didn't get caught in the rain now, so they stayed in the shed.

After more than an hour, nearly two hours, the rain subsided and turned into a gentle drizzle, and then they went out.

Everyone is wearing a raincoat. After all, it is difficult to work with an umbrella, and it is not possible to not wear a raincoat. It is still relatively cold today. If you really get wet, you will really catch a cold.

Qingyan had been thinking about using oilcloth as a raincoat before, but this oilcloth was not like the kind of material made of rubber, and its waterproof performance was not that good. A whole piece of oilcloth might be okay, but if it was made into clothes , as long as it is sewn, the seamed area will leak, and it is better to be covered with a piece of oilcloth.

Of course, the raincoat isn't that great either. It's just okay for walking, but it's a bit in the way when moving things.

Because the back and left and right sides are supported, it is good to block the rain, but it is a bit in the way when working. Fortunately, it is not raining heavily now. You only need to block your head and back shoulders. If you bend down in front, you will not get wet. arrive.

Huang Jinshi and Qingyan walked over first, secretly using force to make the cracked parts of the stone crack directly into gravel, and then waited for Chen Jinshi and the others to come over and move them to both sides of the road to pile them up. Don't worry about whether they are neat or not, anyway. Just clear the way in the middle.

At this time, Qingyan heard the sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels coming from her side. She continued to carry the stone in her hand without looking back, and used her spiritual consciousness to directly explore it.

I found three carriages coming here. They seemed to be traveling together. There was no cargo on the carriages. There were two people sitting in each carriage, including men, women, old and young. They should be a family.

Soon, three carriages arrived at their side. At this time, there were still a few pieces of gravel that had not been moved, all of which were relatively large.

They had moved some small pieces before, and the remaining pieces weighed at least two to three hundred kilograms. They planned to lift them aside if they could move them, and if they couldn't move them, they would boil them again and water them.

When the carriages arrived, Chen Jinshi and the others stopped what they were doing when they heard the sound and looked over there.

I saw two people getting out of each of the three cars, and a total of six people got out, including the three drivers and the three people sitting in the car.

Among them, only the woman got off the car at the front, and the others were all men.

The three drivers are all around 20 or 30 years old. From the looks of it, they should be part-time escorts and drivers, because Qingyan found that they have a kind of temperament of practicing family members.

The other two men are relatively young, probably around 17 or 18 years old. Anyway, they are under 20 years old. They are somewhat similar to the middle-aged woman in front of them. They should be her sons or younger brothers.

A group of people came this way, and the woman was walking in front. She seemed to be the one in charge.

I saw her leading the people forward to take a look at the situation on their side. Especially when she saw the burning marks on the ground, she raised her eyebrows and directly ordered: "You guys should go help too."
