You are my golden finger

Chapter 229: Horse Racing Youth Tour (4)

A group of young people with patriotic feelings and a sense of justice silently paid tribute to the hero in their hearts. No one spoke. The heavy atmosphere lingered among them.

"I was born at the wrong time!" It was An An again. After leaving the Wuhou Temple, the young boy sighed in a way that was inconsistent with his age.

"Little guy, why do you have so many emotions at such a young age? Why were you born at the wrong time?" Qi Jinghao teased An An.

"Of course Zhuge Liang was born at the wrong time. Only when he meets a wise ruler can he become a famous minister! If he had not met Liu Bei or A Dou, but was born later and was as lucky as us to meet Brother Xu and Sister Jin. With his intelligence and wisdom, not only would the Kingdom of Shu not have perished, but he would have been able to unify the Three Kingdoms." An An firmly stuck to his opinion.

"You actually believe in your brother Xu and sister Jin!" Qi Jinghao said with some jealousy.

"Of course. Brother Xu and Sister Jin are the best in the world!" An An didn't know when Murong Xu rose to the same status as Lin Xijin in his mind. It seemed that Murong Xu's love for him was not in vain.

No one else said anything, probably agreeing with An An's words.

Although An An is young, he is willing to work hard to learn things. After returning to the headquarters of the Seven Stars Pavilion, he went to the martial arts field to practice with the meteor hammer.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is a martial arts genius. After two days of practice, he could wield a pair of meteor hammers as fast as shooting stars.

"Quiet as a virgin, quick as a rabbit." This phrase describes An An. He looks well-behaved at ordinary times, but when he really starts to learn something, he is very quick-witted and diligent. This is why everyone is happy to spoil him.

“Worship the water at Dujiangyan and seek the truth at Mount Qingcheng.” As participants in the construction of the Jiuchang County Reservoir, it is natural for them to visit the famous water conservancy project - Dujiangyan.

Dujiangyan is located on the Minjiang River. It is a large-scale water conservancy project built by Li Bing and his son. Because of this water conservancy project, it nourishes the capital plain and makes it a land of abundance.

Xihui and his companions brought a series of surveying tools, but Qi Jinghao asked his followers to load a carriage full of fishing gear, barbecue tools and ingredients.

"Brother Hao, are we going to have a barbecue?" An An was happy when she saw it.

"Well, your brothers are on business, so we're going out for fun and barbecue." Qi Jinghao answered slowly.

"Brother Hao, you are so thoughtful!" Ming Ruyue also blinked her starry eyes.

"Didn't you say that we men are useless?" Even after such a long time, Qi Jinghao still did not forget to respond to Ming Ruyue.

"It's true? Who of you said that?" Ming Ruyue pretended to be confused because she had a strong desire to survive.

Everyone laughed at the sight of these two funny guys.

The carriage drove into a path. Here, ancient trees towered up to the sky, and the shadows of the trees swayed, full of vitality. On one side was a small stream, and the banks were neatly stacked with pebbles. At the end of this beautiful path was the famous Baopingkou.

He parked the carriage here and ordered the servants to wait there, while everyone went to admire the scenery of Baopingkou.

"This place really looks like a bottle mouth, the scenery is so beautiful!" Xin Lan kept exclaiming as soon as she got onto the river bank.

This place got its name because of its bottle-like shape. The water in the "bottle" poured out, stirring up waves, and the breeze blew the water away, like smoke, fog, and dust...

"It's so cool!" The mist floated onto everyone's face, bringing a hint of coolness, and the girl exclaimed.

Soon, we arrived at the Anlan Cable Bridge. Although there were wooden planks on the bridge, it began to shake as soon as we stepped on it. The waves were turbulent under the bridge, which frightened the timid people.

As soon as An An got onto the bridge, he started to show off, using the "Lingbo Weibu" technique to run back and forth on the bridge several times.

But Princess Yuehe, Shangguan Qing and Luo Xiaorui were so shaken that their faces turned pale. Wu Beijing, Xingcheng and Xiaowen had no choice but to support them and walk slowly forward.

"It is said that the Anlan Cable Bridge is a bridge for couples. If young men and women walk across it hand in hand, they will live a happy life. You guys are just the right match!" Ming Ruyue laughed at them.

Who knows, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. An An immediately arranged for Qi Jinghao, Ming Ruyue and the other five couples to walk hand in hand, which made several people blush. But the moment they held each other's fingers, they felt particularly sweet.

"Oh, is it too late for me to go back and start learning kung fu?" Shangguan Qing sighed after crossing the rope bridge.

"It's never too late to start learning. My grandparents only started learning Tai Chi with Sister Jin a few years ago. Now their legs and feet are very nimble." Xingcheng encouraged.

"Okay, I'll start practicing martial arts with everyone when I get back." Shangguan Qing was successfully brainwashed.

"Let's practice too." Yuehe and Luo Xiaorui echoed.

It seems that through going out to play, these girls have realized their shortcomings and are determined to change themselves.

We came to the Yuzui Diversion Dam. "Yuzui" is named because it looks like a fish's mouth. Its design is extremely clever, going deep into the Minjiang River, using the terrain and topography to divide it into two, cleverly completing the task of diverting water.

The Yuzui Diversion Dam is located in the center of the Minjiang River, and cleverly utilizes the "Inner River Channel" of Yuzui. It allows the Inner River, which has a deep channel, to receive 60% of the water during the dry season, while the Outer River only receives 40%. During the flood season, 60% of the water is discharged into the Outer River, and 40% flows into the Inner River.

This is the 4:6 water distribution system, which plays the role of automatically regulating the amount of water.

The water divide is covered with white waves and ripples, which is very spectacular. Looking far away, the opposite Jiangqingcheng Mountain is undulating.

"Look everyone, the scenery here is so beautiful! The mountain opposite is covered with a layer of hazy white fog, it seems very mysterious!" Xin Lan exclaimed repeatedly. At this time, the mountains and water merged into one, and it was extremely quiet and peaceful.

"Across the way is Daqing Mountain, one of the birthplaces of Taoism. There are many temples on the mountain. We will go hiking tomorrow." Ming Ruyue introduced to everyone.

A few boys were discussing the wonders of water conservancy projects.

"I've only seen the floor plan Sister Jin gave me before, and I couldn't feel the magic of Dujiangyan. I have to see it in person to truly feel it!" Xingcheng said with emotion.

"The Feishayan is one of the three major components of the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. It looks very ordinary, but it is the key to ensuring that the capital plain is not affected by floods. When the water volume in the inner river exceeds the upper limit of the Baoping flow, the excess water will overflow from the Feishayan. In the event of a severe flood, it will collapse on its own, allowing a large amount of river water to return to the main stream of the Minjiang River. This design is amazing!" Xihui explained the role of the Feishayan.

"The Feishayan Weir deserves its name. The Minjiang River rushes down from the mountains, carrying with it a large amount of mud and stones. If they were allowed to flow down the Neijiang River, they would silt up the Baopingkou and irrigation areas. The Feishayan Weir cleverly uses the uneven terrain to generate centrifugal force, and throws eighty percent of the mud and pebbles brought from upstream into the Waijiang River from here, ensuring the smooth flow of the Neijiang River. It can be said to be a masterpiece of nature!" Xinfeng took over the conversation.

"This 28% sand is really the magic stroke of Dujiangyan! The wisdom and miracle created by Li Bing and his son are truly amazing!" Xiaowen also sighed.

Leaving behind Xihui, Xinfeng and five other Shiziwo aborigines and Lin Siyu to continue inspecting the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, Qi Jinghao took the rest of the group back to the site they had chosen when they first arrived and began to prepare for the barbecue.
