Chapter 444 A Family of Craftsmen
Bai Jiu listened for a long time and felt that the rules were not explained very clearly.
"Excuse me, why do we need to push this cart?" She asked with some confusion, "Didn't it mean we could go back and forth by ourselves?"
"Of course not." Dima said, "You don't seem to be very educated people. I'm afraid I'm the only one who has read through "Three Kingdoms"."
"No." Yun Jiu shook his head, "I'm afraid we have all read it. What do you want to say?"
After hearing this, Qiao Jiajin consciously took a step aside.
Yes, he probably hasn't read it.
"Oh?" Di Ma stroked his mane with some disdain, "Have you all read it? It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance. In that case, can you tell me how the phrase "wooden cows and flowing horses" came about?"
Cloud 19 replied without hesitation: "The wooden ox and the flowing horse should be a means of transportation invented by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period. It is divided into wooden ox and flowing horse. Historical records indicate that Zhuge Liang used it during the Northern Expedition from the ninth to the twelfth year of Jianxing. "
Bai Jiu also smiled and said: "According to legend, the carrying capacity of a wooden cow and a flowing horse is "one year's grain", which is about more than four hundred kilograms. The daily journey is "tens of miles for a special traveler and thirty miles for a group travel." For the Shu Han An army of 100,000 people transported food.”
Di Ma really didn't expect that these people dressed so casually would be quite knowledgeable when they opened their mouths, so he could only nod his head in surprise.
At this time, a tall girl also spoke: "Although the name of your game is "Wooden Cow and Flowing Horse", in fact, no one knows the true style and appearance of the Wooden Cow and Flowing Horse, and its explanations are also different in many documents. Some people say It is just an ordinary wheelbarrow, and some say it is a wooden structure shaped like an ox or a horse.”
Qiao Jiajin looked at this very tall girl. If he remembered correctly, her name was Feng Shiqi.
"I didn't expect that." Di Ma turned around and looked at everyone, "You are quite knowledgeable...but so what?"
"What……?"
\u003c/di\u003e
\u003e"This knowledge is just words to you..." Dima stroked the wooden cart beside him with some sadness, "Even if there are craftsmen who restore these lost things, you will only say that there is no such thing in the world. People have seen it, so it’s fake when it’s restored.”
Qiao Jiajin scratched his head in confusion: "I, I don't quite understand what you mean... Could it be that what others said is wrong? Aren't the things made by future generations fake?"
"Of course what they said is wrong." Dima said, "The meaning of our carpentry family's existence is to restore these lost precision wooden tools, and often no one understands them for the rest of their lives..."
After hearing this, Qiao Jiajin looked at the wooden boxes placed on both sides of the runway. Since it was a "carpentry family", were those wooden boxes also made by this local horse?
"I still don't understand." Qiao Jiajin said, "I know a lot of carpentry families... but are you a little extreme?"
"extreme?"
"What kind of cow and horse is this..." Qiao Jiajin patted the cart beside him, "Does it mean anything to you?"
"No, I said... I just want to reproduce these lost things. They are part of the splendid history that has been lost in the long river of time."
"What's the meaning?" Qiao Jiajin asked.
"significance?"
"After listening to your introduction just now, I feel that this thing has helped Zhuge Liang before, which means it should be a transportation device, right?"
"Yes." Di Ma nodded, "Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse are recorded in many ancient books. It is the cart Zhuge Liang used when transporting grain and grass in the mountains."
"Then he should be of great significance to Zhuge Liang, not you.
"Qiao Jiajin said, "Are you dedicating your whole life to this kind of thing? Does Zhuge Liang agree with this? "
"ah……?"
"I may be talking too much." Qiao Jiajin shook his head with a wry smile, "I just hope that when you are free, you can do something happier instead of this kind of thing."
"You..." Dima sighed. He didn't know why he actually said so much to this annoying man with flowery arms. He could only sigh and said, "You don't have to please me before playing the game. In addition to your own Apart from the years, I have nothing to be happy about. If you can’t win this game, your death will be worse than anywhere else.”
"Is it that difficult?" Qiao Jiajin said, "As long as each of us can push the cart back and forth once, we can complete the game, right?"
"No..." Di Ma shook his head, "Because the original design concept of Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse was "transportation"... so your passing through the runway has no effect..."
"Ah?" Qiao Jiajin suddenly didn't understand. "Wait a minute... didn't you just say that as long as everyone can go back and forth on the track once, the game can be won?"
"Yes, but that's not a complete rule." Di Ma laughed and said, "Only if all seven people make a round trip on a wooden cow and flowing horse, it will be considered as passing the test."
"I'm throwing it?!" Qiao Jiajin was stunned for a moment, "You fan... what nonsense are you talking about, you lady? Doesn't it count us running barefoot on the ground?"
"It doesn't count." Di Ma shook his head, "I will watch the whole process from the side. All seven of you must sit on the "Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse" and go back and forth once. If you cheat, you will be punished."
"This is really difficult..." Qiao Jiajin lowered his head and looked back at the teammates behind him, as if waiting for their ideas.
Although Qi Xia is not here, Qiao Jiajin still has a group of "little brains" with him.
"you
\u003c/di\u003e
What do we say? "
"Um...Brother Qiao, come with me." Bai Jiu reached out and grabbed his clothes.
Qiao Jiajin nodded and retreated to the corner with everyone.
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Almost..." Bai Jiu nodded, "Although this game is a racing game, it still seems to require some coordination."
Yun Jiu also nodded: "Yes, Dima only counts the people sitting on the "Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse", but it doesn't say anything about the people on the track..."
"It seems Nineteen has the same idea as me." Bai Jiu nodded, "We can all attack every round."
"Everyone...?"
"We have seven people." Bai Jiu explained, "Each round only requires one person to sit on the chair, and then three people are sent to the left and right sides to keep the trolley stable. This will greatly increase the time it takes us to pass the runway."
"Is that so?" Qiao Jiajin frowned and scratched his hair, feeling that something was wrong, "Have you ever walked hand in hand on the ice?"
"Uh...no..." Everyone shook their heads.
"Me neither." Qiao Jiajin said, "But I can generally guess... Although there is a probability that everyone will be stable, there is also a probability that the whole body will be affected by a single move. Once one person falls, the rest will be affected. It will be difficult to maintain balance, and even people sitting on the "Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse" will fall off."
"But...it is indeed possible..." Bai Jiu nodded.
"Has your team ever played that kind of game...?" Qiao Jiajin asked, "Same hands and feet?"
