Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 57

The winter is sunny and warm, and the sun is shining. This is the best time to renovate the house. After the repair is completed, you can live in peace only when there is a strong wind and heavy snow in the twelfth lunar month, and thunder and rain in the spring of the coming year.

At present, most of the houses in Linshui Village have mud rammed walls and thatched roofs. Several households have not repaired their roofs for many years, and they all leak. They plan to strip off the old roofs, replace the decayed purlins, and re-strengthen them with new thatch. It is a big project for one family and one needs to rely on the collective to complete.

The production team happened to be idle and had nothing to do, so they organized members. The men went into the forest deep in the Daqing Mountain to carry wood, and the women cut thatch suitable for roofing on the outer edge of the mountain. This is voluntary labor. Help each other, everyone. When there is a need for help, no work points are recorded in the team.

But when it's the turn to carry the wood and cut the thatch, the host has to take care of the meals, three meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, usually in the morning and noon. Yes, if you have chickens at home, you will usually slaughter two chickens for entertainment.

Meng Tao and the educated youth responded to the call of the production team and joined the mutual aid group, but she didn't want to mow thatch, she wanted to follow the men to carry wood deep in the mountains.

Bao Shunfeng began to disagree, Meng Tao was soft and hard, and several educated youths helped to talk about it, saying that they would take care of each other. Bao Shunfeng also knew that Meng Tao was in good health recently, and that he had the strength to carry a heavy burden and run. Ring, it is no problem to go into the mountain to carry a log, so I let her go, but I told her and the educated youth to follow the big guy honestly, and don't step in places where there is no open road:
"The old forest in the deep mountains is full of ravines and ridges, covered with wild vines and weeds, densely growing taller than people, and it is impossible to see clearly. There is only one road leading to the old forest. Usually, no one will enter the deep mountains. When planting, I need to chop wood to build a house. I ask the older generation to identify and open the way before they can enter. In the past, there were young sons who tried their best to break in, but they fell off the cliff and searched for ten days and a half months to find it. Beasts gnawed to the bone... this is no joke!"

Meng Tao nodded again and again. She had already understood this from the aunts and aunts in the team, and she had eyes to see. The old forest in the deep mountains could not see the edge. , Second, I am afraid of getting lost, unable to get out, and being captured by savages - this is what the aunts and aunts said, and they also said that they did not intend to intimidate her. In the deep mountains, apart from black bears, wolves, wild boars and monkeys, there are really savages, tall and strong. Black bears are still terrifying. In the old society, a girl was lost in the village, but she was captured by savages to be her daughter-in-law, and she gave birth to a child. The child was all hairy!

What the aunts said was the same as what they saw with their own eyes, but it was indeed a little frightening to hear it.

Therefore, although Meng Tao often goes up the mountain, he just chops wood and picks up some wild fruits in the outer mountains.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to carry the wood, Meng Tao wanted to see this old forest in the deep mountains. There are five families in the team who need to renovate their houses, so the carrying of the wood will last at least five or six days, and the team will go back and forth a day. No matter how many weeds there are, the mountain road will be flattened. If it doesn't feel too dangerous, she can go in a few more times throughout the winter. Maybe she can gain something.

On the first day, I carried wood for the Lin family in the east of the village. The Lin family cooked corn batter and steamed cereals for breakfast and lunch. The wood-carrying noon would definitely not come back, so I brought two wotou and half a radish for each person. , Two heads of pickled vegetables for lunch.

A group of more than 40 people went to the Daqing Mountain behind the village, and when they reached the mountainside, they were divided into two parts. More than 20 people continued to walk to the high place, and they wanted to go into the deep mountain to carry logs. For the thatch, each person should cut three loads and just pick it down the mountain.

The person carrying the wood gradually entered the deep forest. Meng Tao walked in the middle of the group. She was wearing old clothes, carrying a water bottle, a rope around her waist, and a hatchet tied to the rope. This is the basic equipment for going up the mountain. Everyone dresses the same, but some People don’t bring water. Not every household has a wild kettle. Those who don’t have water can only bear it when they are thirsty. There are springs on the mountain, and you have to meet them. Sometimes you can’t drink if you are too far away.

The first to open the way are two old commune members in their 60s and [-]s. They went up the mountain early in the morning, so now they have a way to go into the deep mountains and old forests.

As Meng Tao walked, she was secretly surprised: fortunately, she was not foolish enough to venture into the deep forest alone. The terrain under the vegetation was really dangerous. There were cliffs and deep ravines everywhere. The one-sided road is only one meter wide at most. You have to be very careful to go over it, and you don’t dare to look down at all; dare you walk through the bottomless ravine along the branches of the long and crooked thousand-year-old trees?Fortunately, Meng Tao has been exercising on the space stone platform for so long and has overcome the fear of heights, otherwise she really dare not go there.

Looking back at a few male educated youths, all of them turned pale with fright, and Qian Liang still grabbed the clothes of a younger brother from the village, Meng Tao couldn't help laughing.

If they look like this, they will come back carrying the wood in a while. These dangerous sections will definitely not be able to be crossed. They have to ask the villagers to help them carry them over.

When we finally got to the forest, the terrain was much better, with slopes and flats, and because the trees were tall and dense, the rotten leaves were thick, the weeds below did not grow high, and there were still very flat and fluffy areas where the trees were sparse. The lawn is scattered with small bushes that grow in groups. The natural scenery is beautiful. If Meng Tao imagined spring, it would be more beautiful to decorate with a few bushes of wildflowers.

The men began to chop down trees. Meng Tao thought about going around alone, but Bao Shunfeng stopped her from running around, saying that there were wild animals in the mountains and forests. People from the Armed Forces Department of the commune organized people to go into the mountains to fight wild animals, but the wild animals would also run, and only a few of them could be beaten, such as wolves, black bears, wild boars, monkeys, and so on. It is said that some people have heard tiger roars. Get together as much as possible and don't go far.

Bao Shunfeng pointed to the low bushes not far away, and said, "If you want to pee, go there and hide, shout, no one is looking at you!"

Meng Tao: "..."

What kind of weird captain is this, I'm really convinced.

The young people next to him all laughed, and someone asked, "Uncle Bao, should we also shout 'I'm going to pee, don't come here'?"

Bao Shunfeng said with a serious face: "You have to shout! Anyway, there are girls here, you all avoid me, or you will be a hooligan!"

Xu Guoliang said mischievously: "This is called an alarm, and those who urinate without shouting will be fined!"

Everyone burst into laughter, Meng Tao stared, not knowing how blushing she was. In short, it was hot and hot, it was really embarrassing for a woman to mix in with men. She was ill-considered and hasty.

Bao Shunfeng was afraid that Meng Tao would not be obedient, so he designated a few young offspring to join her in a group and watched her. Meng Tao stopped thinking about walking far away, and just wandered around in this forest, but she also let her find out. There are many medicinal herbs that Meng Taohua can recognize in her memory. Meng Tao also knows two or three kinds of herbs. Wild Tianqi, Lianmianzhen and Banlangen have been seen up close when they visited the botanical garden before.
