Everyone looked at Lei Zhao like a fool and said, "Isn't there something wrong with you? You obviously came by boat, how could you possibly walk back?"
Just spend hundreds of years laughing and saying nothing.
Lei Zhao said with a smile: "I told everyone that I will not go back by boat in the afternoon, but will walk back. Do you believe it?"
"Then let's make a bet. I bet that I can walk from this mountain back to the ticket office where we came from. If I can't walk back, I lose. Who is willing to bet?"
"How much is the bet per person?"
"How about Wu Shiyuan alone?"
Everyone replied: "Yes."
According to Lei Zhao's statistics, Han Zhaocai, Su Dekuai, Lin Yiping, Zhou Zhiyan, Nangong You, Hua Renjie, and Li Jun participated in Lei Zhao's gambling game.
Lei Zhao smiled and said: "Okay. If everyone loses then, please remember to give me money and don't cheat. We will gather at the location where we landed today at 5:30 pm. Then we can organize free activities and tour freely.
.”
"Gong Zhang, why don't you bet?" Lei Zhao asked.
Zhang Yunqing rolled his eyes at Lei Zhao and said, "Are you crazy about money? Aren't you worried?"
Lei Zhao replied: "What am I worried about? Is there any problem in making money by relying on wisdom?"
Zhang Yunqing replied: "That's right." and walked away.
Zhang Yunqing used to live inland and had never been out of Xichuan, let alone the north.
Now looking at the sea in front of me, I feel excited.
I climbed to the top of the mountain by myself, wanting to stand on the top of the mountain and see what the sea looked like.
When Zhang Yunqing stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the sea, he felt there was no big difference from the sea he saw when he landed on the shore.
The sea water in my eyes is blue and stretches to the horizon.
For Zhang Yunqing, the vastness of the sea cannot be described in words. It can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words.
Zhang Yunqing originally believed that the water in the sea is calm and motionless like an inland lake.
In fact, when you are actually standing on the beach, the waves of the sea are constantly washing against the shore.
Although Zhang Yunqing did not participate in the gambling organized by Lei Zhao, he was still full of interest in this gambling.
Zhang Yunqing came down from the top of the mountain, moved to the mountain in the direction of the landing point, found a shady place, sat down, and quietly observed and thought.
The ferries kept coming and going, and there was no sign of a road at all.
Zhang Yunqing judged that Lei Zhao arranged to contact this scenic spot, and maybe he knew some reasons.
But other people actually don’t know much about this attraction at all.
That's why Zhang Yunqing didn't bother to make this bet with Lei Zhao.
Every hour, Zhang Yunqing observed the water surface between Dushan and the ticket office. He could feel that the water level was dropping little by little.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, an intermittent gravel road was exposed, with a width of about 50 meters. However, there were still seawater in some places, and the road was not completely open.
Zhang Yunqing thought to himself, could this road really be fully exposed as the sea tide drops, and could it even be walked on?
Han Zhaocai came over and greeted Zhang Yunqing: "Gong Zhang, do you think this Lei Zhao deliberately defrauded us of our money?"
Zhang Yunqing said: "Why, do you believe you can walk back to the ticket office now?"
"It's okay if you don't believe it. The road is so wide and it shows."
"Lei Gong, didn't you set a time of 5:30? If you want to be able to walk there by then, there must be a continuous road without sea water along the entire length of the road, otherwise your shoes will get wet.
, it’s not considered a normal walk.”
"Gong Zhang, this procurer is a traitor. He wants to make money everywhere and will never let go of an opportunity. Wait a minute. I'll ask the bosses who sell handicrafts. I should know if I can walk there.
"
Han Zhaocai and Zhang Yunqing walked to the handicraft stalls together, chose a vendor who looked more honest, and asked him: "Uncle, can I walk back to the ticket office in Dushan this afternoon?
"
The merchant replied: "At 5 o'clock today, it will be the time of dry tide. At that time, the road you see now will completely emerge from the sea water, and you can walk across it then.
.This is a major feature of Dushan Scenic Area. Don’t you know this when you are traveling here?”
Han Zhaocai thanked him: "Thank you for the advice. I really don't know. Why is this road so strange?"
The merchant replied: "This strange road has a magical name."
"Oh, what's the name?"
"The people on this mountain call this road the 'Heavenly Road'"
"Tianlu, Tianlu, Tianlu" Han Zhaocai shouted, slapping his thigh, "This is a great name."
After turning around and walking away, Han Zhaocai said to Zhang Yunqing: "This treacherous Lei Zhao actually made money from Tianlu. He is amazing. Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang Yunqing smiled and said: "He actually has a way to crack it."
"How to break it?"
"The fact that he can bet on countless people by himself is inherently problematic. If he is not 100% sure, how can he do this?"
"Gong Zhang, your analysis is right. Why didn't I think of that?"
"Han Gong, if we are less concerned about taking advantage, we can break his bet. You see, I didn't think of the reason at the time. I analyzed it comprehensively and found that his confidence is so strong. I don't want to take advantage either.
, so I chose to ignore him, and as a result, I was able to avoid being paid by Lei Gong."
At 5:30 pm, 10 people had already arrived at the agreed meeting point.
After spending a hundred years watching Lei Zhao gather everyone together, he asked a question: "This morning, everyone climbed so many steps in the competition. Does anyone know how many steps there are in total?"
Everyone was shaking their heads. Zhang Yunqing didn't, but he didn't know why he asked this question.
Hua Baibai asked Zhang Yunqing: "Everyone shook their heads to express they don't know. You didn't shake your head. Do you know that there are multiple steps in total?"
Zhang Yunqing thought for a while and thought that this question would not be harmful, so he replied: "I counted the steps and found that there are 999 steps, but I may not necessarily count them correctly. After all, climbing the steps is so tiring, so it is inevitable that I will count them incorrectly."
Hua Baibai praised: "Everyone should learn from Zhang Yunqing and do a good job in details at work. How come there are so many people and he is the only one counting the steps? Everyone should think about it."
After Lei Zhao finished talking about Hua Hundred Years, he said to everyone: "We made a bet this morning. Everyone has seen this heavenly road now. The sea water has completely receded and we can walk across it completely. Except Mr. Hua
, Mr. Zhang, and the other seven people, each of them should pay me 50 yuan now."
Although everyone was reluctant, they were willing to admit defeat and obediently handed over 50 yuan to Lei Zhao.
