Everyone said goodbye to Yinfeng's sister-in-law and Lingtang Inn, and walked to Twenty-Eight with their burdens; It is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and those who have walked through the mountain road know that going up the mountain is just a tiring point, and going down the mountain is not just tired, but sinister.

Because when you go up the mountain, you carry the burden and the burden on the shoulders and behind the body, and even if the burden slips down, it will only slide down the hillside and will not take people away.

Moreover, the center of gravity of the person is in front, close to the hillside, the center of gravity is low, and there is a slight mistake, and both hands can grasp the firewood and grass on the side of the road, so it is relatively safe.

If you don't control the burden, when the burden slides to the bottom of the mountain, it will take people down the mountain, it doesn't matter if the mountain is gentle, the mountain is very dangerous, and if you don't make trouble, you will die.

There is also the foot of the mountain with brute strength, as long as there is strength, just push up, down the foot of the mountain with steady strength and inch strength, can not be brute.

Once the foot is empty or stepped on a soft depression, the weight of oneself plus the weight of the burden is as many as several hundred catties, pressed on one foot, casually slightly crooked, enough to make the ankle injury, serious will break the foot, or stand and fall to the bottom of the mountain, directly killed.

Fortunately, Sangou has been crawling and rolling on the mountain since he was a child, and he has also chopped firewood to pick up the mountain road, so he also knows these truths, and he followed everyone down the mountain, and walked very carefully all the way, but this kind of weightlifting and light walking method is very physically demanding, and he has not yet reached the Lazigang on the mountainside, and his legs are weak.

The ox told everyone to stop in the shade of the tree to rest, and usually the porters would prepare a wooden fork (a wooden stick with a part, similar to the shape of the word "Ya"), to fork the flat pole, and the bottom of the head was on the ground, a bit like the current jack.

After resisting, a little bending over, you can leave the flat shoulder, stand and rest, and when you get up later, you can pick up the burden without much effort, which is both labor-saving and safe.

On rainy days, the bottom of the basket will not come into contact with the wet mud and will not seep into the goods. The road is slippery and difficult to walk, and you can also use a wooden fork in one hand as a crutch, which is equivalent to having three feet and three points of fixation, which is much more stable than the fixation of two points of both legs.

No matter how bad it is, when you pass by the village and encounter a vicious dog, you can't run fast with a burden, and you can't avoid the dog bite, you can also use this wooden fork as a dog beating stick to scare away the evil dog.

This fork is also easy to use to support the burden on the flat ground, but on the mountain road, except when the third foot, it is not easy to support the burden.

Fortunately, in the summer, the mountains are very dry, there is no mud, just a little dust, it doesn't matter, everyone sits down, smokes, drinks water, eats some dry food, eats little, pees almost nothing, why?

Although I ate porridge in the morning, I sweated like rain along the way, and the water on my body had already volatilized.

Seeing that the sun was about to rise three poles, Niu Gong urged everyone to get up, and in the last breath, they arrived at the foot of the mountain, and after the foot of the mountain, they arrived at the waterway wharf of the Twenty-Eight Capital in a few steps, and now the river can be seen halfway up the mountain, and the busy wharf.

After everyone cleaned up, they began to pick up the mountain, and they actually picked the destination in one go. This person, that is, the psychological effect is very large, and when the eyes can see the destination, they can reach it in one go.

And when you can't see the road ahead, even if the destination is only a few steps away, you still feel that it is difficult to reach; I want to insert a few words here, I admire the Red Army of the 25,000-mile Long March, at that time, there was really no way to see where the road ahead and the days of success were?

However, those who were able to persevere were supported by faith, and no one knew at that time that they would succeed in more than ten years, and if they did, then everyone would go to the Red Army, including the hostiles, not counting a large number of speculators and wall-to-wall grass.

The War of Resistance was also, especially in the early and middle periods, no one knew that Japan would surrender in 1945, if they knew, there would be no traitors, even the Japanese themselves were not willing to fight, and they were still beating a fart, no matter how hard they fought, they would have to surrender after a few years, and they would fight in vain.

But there are still many people with lofty ideals and national heroes, who have fought to the death against the Japanese army one after another, what do they rely on? It is also a belief that the Chinese nation will not perish, will not be enslaved, and there will always be a time when the clouds will break through the sky.

Let's ask people today, if we devote ourselves to that kind of environment at a certain time in the future, can we be like them? Can you believe in it? Can you wait until the moment of victory? This, it's hard to say.

Okay, off topic, don't go far.

Niu Gu took everyone to hand over the goods, found a place to have lunch, it is also a familiar inn before, the boss surnamed Chen, very enthusiastic, Niu Gu said that he would not stay at night, and the boss also insisted on arranging a bed for everyone for free, saying that everyone is so tired, and they should rest during the day.

In the twenty-eight capital of that year, it was a gathering of merchants and goods everywhere, of course, the inn was also blooming everywhere, opening and closing, and the owner of the iron-clad inn.

No matter how fierce the competition in the inn industry is, those who can stay in the big waves have a way to survive. Just like this innkeeper, when he sees people, he doesn't mention doing business first, he first wants to be a person.

Returning to the door is a guest, and those who enter the door are all guests, and try to think about the guests, so Boss Chen's Chen Ji Inn can stand for decades, that is, believe in this simple truth.

Niu Gu was not polite to Boss Chen, and beckoned everyone to put down the empty basket, wash their hands and eat, and take a lunch break after dinner, all in the inn; In the afternoon, the cow called Gui and went to find the boss who sold illicit salt last time.

Niu Gu called up to meet the boss of private salt, first, there is no defense against the psychology of coming to the expensive, the employment is not suspicious, the suspicion is not used, in the business field, the person who believes to cooperate has to be honest and relative.

Even if you occasionally suffer a temporary loss, you will not suffer a lifetime loss, and if you are not honest or honest, you will suffer a lifetime of loss, and there will be fewer and fewer people to cooperate with in the end.

the second is that it is expected that a new hand will come to you, and if you leave him, you will not be able to do business on this line; But more importantly, it is still the first one, "integrity".

It is necessary to let Laigui participate in the whole process, understand the price between them and the salt boss, and know that they have not eaten the price difference, so that the business can last for a long time.

Seeing the salt boss, everyone talked very smoothly, they are all regular customers, the salt boss is also eager to sell the salt in his hand, they are in a hurry to buy it, they hit it off, the price both sides let a little, and soon negotiated.

Lai Gui was responsible for the payment of the money, and after paying a little symbolic deposit, he went back to the Chen Ji Inn with Niu Gu, bought some cooked food on the way, did not drink, and could not drink wine at dinner, and had to carry a heavy burden.
