1397, chop wood

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Yang Fan took care of these Jurchen savage chiefs of the East China Sea and returned to the villa and wooden house humming a song.

He found that Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru were not at home. Only Busia and her two little sisters were working diligently. She rolled up her sleeves, raised a fire ax with a wooden handle that was taller than herself, and chopped down the tree trunks.

Yang Fan was also convinced. This little girl was really good at work and would never be idle for a moment.

Yang Fan felt very ashamed and ashamed every time he saw her. He was a person with no work in his eyes. He was too lazy to lift the oil bottle when it fell over. He was surprised to find that there was so much work to do at home.

Because she wanted to burn the fireplace, Busia asked two little girls to hold on to a large tree root more than one meter thick. She swung a fire ax and chopped hard, causing wood chips to fly.

Tree roots are particularly resistant to burning, but digging is laborious. In addition, chopping firewood is laborious.

Most people can't afford to burn this thing. That's just Mr. Yang. Because it is resistant to burning, if you throw chopped tree roots into the fireplace, it can burn until tomorrow. There is no need to get up in the middle of the night to add firewood, and the heat is greater than wood.

The servants have modern hacksaws with special-shaped teeth. They can cut down trees very quickly and are useful tools for setting up camps. The engineers are called in to deal with the last remaining tree roots.

Engineers and soldiers are all great men, and they have been too comfortable recently. Because except for the one time they were used in the siege of Manila, they have been idle and almost exhausted.

Uncle Donkey Dan decided to pull them out and dig tree roots for him.

The engineer platoon received the order and came to the lumberyard to take a look. More than two hundred huge tree roots were densely arranged on the hillside. According to the master's order, these trees were cut down for firewood.

Wang Erhu was the platoon leader, and his heart ached when he looked at it. Such good wood actually caught fire.

His hometown is a small tree as thick as a bowl, and it is not cheap. It cannot be used as a beam, but it can be used as a purlin. They are all good materials for building houses. This is not a good thing, because large trees with a diameter of more than one meter at breast height are cut down and burned.

These soldiers are really prodigal. But looking around, except for such a big tree, there are no small trees around. It seems that there is no way to avoid prodigal. There are no small trees here. It is all virgin forest.

"Seat down, you see it's freezing cold. The ground is as frozen as concrete. This work is not easy to do." Zhang Changshun, the leader of the first group, said worriedly.

"That's right, here in Nu'er Gandusi, when winter comes, the ground is covered with light frost and the ground is sealed tightly by the severe cold. Even if you bite it with your teeth, you can't chew it." Deputy Pai Liucheng said while chewing the flower seeds.

"Damn it, it's too much. Just blast it with cannons and blow it up with explosives. I'll blow up the roots of the tree." Wang Erhu said angrily.

There's no way to dig here, it's because we're too busy and looking for something to do. It must be the gang of tree cutters who are jealous of me and went to the group seat to lay the maggots on me.

After a while, a rumbling explosion sounded. Huge smoke rose from this large tree stump. Even the savage leaders wandering around the city were startled. Why was there thunder in this winter?

"Hahaha, we are still very good at our craftsmanship." Wang Erhu looked with satisfaction at a huge tree root that had turned upside down and fell to the ground. These tree roots were facing downwards at the moment, and the dense tree roots seemed to have fallen clean.

The trunks of leaves point toward the sky.

The engineer platoon finished it in an hour and delivered more than 200 tree roots to the master's yard. It shocked a group of people. These bastards are really good at playing with explosives.

Yang Fan walked behind them and watched the three little girls chopping firewood with great interest. It must be said that the children of the poor became masters early, and the children of these savages also matured very early. Each of them had fierce eyes and a lot of strength.

"You can't chop like this. You have to chop along the wood grain." Yang Fan couldn't help but said after watching for a while. He found that they could only use brute force, but the effect was not good.

"As the saying goes, if you don't follow the pattern when chopping firewood, you will be exhausted." Yang Fan said with his hands behind his back.

"Ah, sir, you are back." Busia happily put down the big fire ax and said.

"Well, I just got home. Where are the ladies? Why didn't I see them?" Yang Fan asked.

"My wife and my second wife got up early in the morning and went hunting for bears. They said they wanted to eat bear paws at night. They took Tuya and the others there. They could find the hibernation den of the brown bears. The three of us were left to look after the house. Master, you can eat.

Are you ready? I'm going to cook."

Yang Fan shook his head helplessly. Yesterday, he said coquettishly that he would freeze to death. Today he ran out to play.

Yang Fan has been busy these days and can't take care of them, so he just leaves them alone. They are all twenty-year-old children. Although they have given birth to children, the girl's heart has not changed and she is still playful. When she thinks about it, she has not been there for a long time.

If you take them on a trip, it won't be a disappointment.

"I've eaten and I'm not hungry. Give me the ax and I'll show you how to chop firewood. Have you never chopped firewood at home?" Yang Fan asked strangely.

"Sir, we are too poor to buy iron tools. We can only collect the dung of reindeer and bison, dry it and store it for firewood in the winter. We only have stone axes ground with obsidian, which can chop small shrubs and other things."

Ya raised her little face and said.

Yang Fan saw that her little face was covered with frostbite, and it was covered with ointment, which was given by Lin Yueru. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No matter how unlucky he was to be born in the Ming Dynasty, he would be ten times happier than the children of these savages.

Some people are in heaven as soon as they are born, while some people spend their entire lives fighting wild beasts.

Yang Fan took the fire ax and slashed it down along the lines of the tree stump.

In one fell swoop, the tree stump, which was one meter in diameter and seventy centimeters thick, opened a large crack. Unfortunately, the ax got stuck halfway.

Yang Fan also has two knives, and he has never chopped firewood. In future generations, there will be trees for you to chop.

Even if you plant a tree in your yard, if you cut it down without approval, you will go to jail.

Yang Fan failed to pretend to be 13 and was a little embarrassed. He became so angry that he simply threw the wooden handle of the ax away. He held both ends of the crack with both hands. With a roar, his whole body muscles rose.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Yang Fan's face was ferocious, and he tried hard to break off his arms. The tree stump made a heart-wrenching sound and was broken into two pieces with a click.

"Wow, Master, you are so powerful." The little girls were dumbfounded. The most powerful warrior in the tribe was not as powerful as Master. He actually broke open such a tough tree trunk with his bare hands.

"Wow, sir, how did you do that?" A familiar voice came from behind.

Yang Fan threw away the tree stump, turned around, and saw Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru coming back.

Behind them, a group of servants and local savages were dragging a huge brown bear on a sledge. The bear's paws had been cut off. On the sledge behind them, there was a sledge full of wolf cub skins.

Yang Fan sighed. Last time in Mongolia, these two girls were obsessed with digging out the wolf den to make a coat made of wolf cub skin. This time, they finally got their wish. The wolf cub skin on the sledge is scary.

There are not thousands of them.

However, it looked like it was an old leather. It should have been bought from a leather goods shop in the city and had been processed for several months. In this way, you don’t have to worry about rabies, plague or the like. As long as you don’t dig into wolf holes, it will be fine.

"Master, how about we eat bear paws tonight? The last time you made bear paws for us was a year ago." The little girl hugged Yang Fan's arm and started acting coquettishly.

Last time she and Lin Yueru hunted a big black bear. Yang Fan made the honey-roasted bear paws for them, which was so delicious that they kept arguing and wanted to eat it.
