Luo Xin took a shovel and drew a line on the ground. The base of the boulder covered an area of ​​more than three meters, and the line drawn by Luo Xin was right in the middle.Hesitation appeared on the faces of the five strong men, and one of the strong men said with some fear:

"Mr. Luo, the soil under the stone has been dug away. If the stone collapses, won't we be crushed to death?"

Luo Xin laughed and said, "You forget that this boulder is already tied to a wooden stake? With the cable tied to it, the stone won't fall down even if half of the soil is dug out."

Seeing that the five burly men were still hesitating, Luo Xin smiled and said, "Is it okay if I go down with you?"

"It's okay here?" the strong man hurriedly waved his hands.

"There's nothing wrong with it!" Luo Xin really lifted up his robe and wanted to jump off.

"Don't! Don't!" The strong man gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Luo, just stand on the top and watch, let's go down and dig!"

He also saw just now that Luo Xin really didn't care, he really wanted to jump down, thinking that Luo Xin didn't care, there should be no problem, right?

Then he beckoned the four strong men to jump down, and dug up again.Luo Xin didn't leave, but just stood aside and watched, which made the five strong men feel more at ease.However, even so, their digging speed was relatively slow, and they became cautious.

"I understand!" At this time, someone suddenly realized: "Dug out half of the soil below, and let the boulder hang half in the air. Then untie the cable, I am afraid that the boulder will fall into the pit without pushing. Smart, admire! Admire!"

Li Zhixian on the hill also understood in his heart at this time, knowing that he had lost this competition again, but he also admired Luo Xin in his heart.It's just that he couldn't understand the appearance of a villain, so he couldn't help but snorted coldly, and turned his head away.

There was not much earth to be dug this time, but in less than a quarter of an hour, Luo Xin stopped the five strong men and climbed up from the pit.The faces of the five strong men were all a little pale, not because they were tired, but because they were scared.Luo Xin smiled and said:

"The five elder brothers rest for a while, and then go to break the cable."

"Okay, rest for a while, you need to rest for a while!" The five strong men sat down on the soil and panted heavily, Luo Xin waved to Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu ran over and said:
"Brother Xin, what's the matter?"

"The yamen steward lent five knives to these five big brothers, and asked them to cut off the cables later."

"no problem!"

Zhou Yu ran back again, the head of the young scholars in Yanglin County was completely an errand runner at this time, and he was very happy.

After a while, Zhou Yu came over with five yamen servants, and the five strong men also took a breather, and then took the single knife handed over by the yamen servants and wanted to chop on the cable.

"slow!"

Luo Xin hurriedly stopped, the five strong men and the people around looked at Luo Xin in confusion, wondering why Luo Xin called to stop at a critical moment?
Luo Xin pointed at the cable and said, "You can't cut it here. You see, the cable is stretched straight now. If it is cut from here, the cable will be thrown up like a whip, and it will hurt people lightly." Yes, maybe it will kill someone. Everyone stay away."

When everyone heard this, their faces changed, and they all retreated into the distance.Seeing that the crowd had retreated far away, Luo Xin led five strong men to the back of the stake and said:

"Chopping cables from stakes."

"Okay!"

At this time, the five strong men were convinced by Luo Xin from the bottom of their hearts. They did what Luo Xin told them to do. They swung their single swords and chopped down at the cables wrapped around the stake. The cable on the stake snapped.

"Whoosh..."

The cable whipped through the air like a whip, and the sharp whistling sound made the surrounding people jump.Especially the faces of those who stood nearby turned pale. If Luo Xin hadn't reminded them just now, their bones would probably be broken if the cable was pulled on their body. All of them looked at Luo Xin with admiration and gratitude.

"Mr. Luo is smart! You can think of these details."

At this time, everyone's eyes were on the boulder, and they saw that the boulder began to tilt, but after tilting for a while, it slowly stopped again.Luo Xin said:
"Shove it!"

The five strong men responded, stepped forward and pushed hard, the boulder tilted again, and then fell down into the deep pit with a loud bang.Immediately there was cheers all around.

"Dig out the five wooden stakes, then fill the hole with soil, and transport the remaining soil to the river bank. Five big brothers, is there any problem?"

"No problem, just watch! The task is guaranteed to be completed before sunset."

The five strong men first dug out the wooden stakes, then threw the five wooden stakes into the pit, and then filled the hole left by the five wooden stakes with soil and stepped on it.Then start filling the big hole again.The big hole will be filled soon.At this time, Zhou Yu had already prepared five carts, and the five strong men began to transport the soil.With more than half an hour before sunset, the five strong men finished all the work, and there were warm applause and cheers from around.

Zhou Yu handed each strong man a tael of silver with a smile, saying that this was a reward from the county magistrate, and the five strong men thanked them happily.You only get one tael of silver for a day's work. Where can you find such a job?
Mr. Wen stood on the hill and loudly announced Yanglin County's victory, and everyone cheered, even those scholars from other counties couldn't help cheering. The blood-boiling feeling of being a Jinshi in the first place, this feeling has been gone for a long time.

The onlookers dispersed one after another, discussing enthusiastically while walking, Luo Xin and other scholars also boarded the car and headed towards Yanglin County.They have been notified by Zhou Yu to go to the largest restaurant in Yanglin County together, and the county will hold a banquet to celebrate.

Yanglin Restaurant.

The first and second floors are full of banquets, and all the people sitting here are scholars, young students and scholars without fame.On the third floor are officials and celebrities from all walks of life.

Jian Ming is full of unwillingness to come. There are three Wendou games this time, and the results of the three games are completely different from what he imagined. In his prediction, he will definitely become famous in Wendou, but what will be the result?

Not only was the limelight completely covered up by Luo Xin, but also he was Luo Xin's stepping stone in the last scene, and became a big joke to set off Luo Xin.

but……

He has no choice but to come, this is to celebrate the victory of Wendou in this county, how dare he not come?

If he didn't come, he would be immediately isolated by everyone, despised by officials and celebrities, and it would be difficult for him to move forward in Shilin in the future.

So, not only did he come, but he also came with a stiff smile on his face!
