Early the next morning, the second master, Li Feng, Li Shan, three old men, four elders, two younger and six girls went to battle together. The men split the bamboos, and the girls beat the bamboo pieces with stone hammers to make bamboo ropes. These are thin bamboos.
, more fiber, the second master picked it out and chopped it, and directed a few girls to beat it. This work requires a little more care and does not require much strength, so it is suitable for girls to do.
Together with the little kids like Mengmeng and Lingdang, they were each tapping a small stone hammer along the bamboo strips. They had a great time, and they let out crisp laughter from time to time, accompanied by the sound of the bell shaking.
"Mengmeng, don't run around. Look at the bamboo strips you hit with a hammer, and it's deformed." Xiaoqing caught Mengmeng, and the girl hammered here and there, beating hard in some places.
, completely breaking the fibers.
"Oh, there was a big ant just now. Mengmeng is scared." Mengmeng pouted and used a hammer to make a big ant. Fortunately, she could think of it. Xiaoqing smiled bitterly and shook her head. She picked one up and let Mengmeng play with it.
As long as the girl doesn't cause trouble, no one wants you to expect her to make ropes.
Li Feng and the others were busy chopping bamboo, leaving Mengmeng and Bell alone. There were no wild animals in this hill. At most, there were hedgehogs, rabbits, and the like. At worst, there were wild monkeys. There was no danger, and there were fat guys watching.
But the adults didn't pay much attention.
Mengmeng and Lingdang played with stone hammers for a while, and were a little tired, so they took Fat Boy to the bamboo forest to find some sour ones to eat. Li Feng was very busy here, splitting bamboo, polishing bamboo slices, making bamboo ropes, and building various bamboo buildings.
Building materials, baking and molding. These are easy things, but the most stressful thing is at the back.
Drilling holes in bamboo, threading ropes, and blocking positions require experienced woodworking craftsmen. Only the second master here can do it. But there are so many things that one person can't do it in a long time. It's just a simple painting, and Li Shan can do it with half of his craftsmanship.
To deal with it, Li Feng and the others could only stand in a daze and cut off the final pieces. Li Feng could do these tasks.
In one morning's work, there were more than 30 moso bamboos, more than 20 of which were divided into bamboo slices, and the remaining ten trees were drilled and punched, cut into sections for foundation construction, and several bundles of bamboo ropes. The second master looked at it with great interest.
Satisfied, the girl is careful and the quality of the rope she made is really good.
"Okay, everything that needs to be prepared is ready. We still need a few pine trees to make some baffles and patchwork. I saw the pine trees on the mountain behind your house. They are good. Just chop four or five of them to the thickness of a soup bowl."
The second master clapped his hands and looked at the prepared bamboo slices, bamboo joints, bamboo strips, bamboo ropes, bamboo sticks, and bamboo tubes, all of which were in various forms, using inlays, internal buckles, various techniques, and bamboo poles.
Using fir wood, jointed pine wood, various iron nails, bamboo sticks, and bamboo ropes, a bamboo building is no worse than a brick house.
"Okay, Second Master, Uncle Lin, you guys take a break and eat for a while. I'll clean up here." Li Feng looked at the time and saw that it was eleven o'clock. He was not in a hurry to do these things now. He could eat after a while.
"Okay, old brothers, let's go have some tea." Er Ye, Uncle Lin, Uncle Wang, Uncle Cheng, and Li Shan walked down the mountain. On the other side of Taolin, Li Feng prepared herbal tea, snacks, and fruits in the morning.
They are all ready, Li Shan is waiting for them. Here, Li Feng has these materials sorted and bundled, and will be exposed to the dew in the mountains for another night before being transported down tomorrow.
"Okay, let's go down and have a rest." Li Feng looked at the flushed faces and dripping sweat of several girls. He felt quite embarrassed. For these girls, let them go back first and just do it by themselves.
Listen, there's nothing you can do about it.
"Oh, I forgot about Mengmeng and Lingdang. Where did these two little guys go?" A few people were about to go down the mountain. Xiaoqing exclaimed, "It's not been two or three hours. Mengmeng and Lingdang played for a while."
After meeting Shichui, we headed towards the back mountain, let alone the dam. A flash occurred in Li Feng's mind, and his heart tightened. These two little girls are quite courageous, and they can't do anything.
When Li Feng said this, everyone's nerves suddenly became tense. This was not going to work. They split up to look for it. "No, get on the four-wheeled motorcycle and go faster." Li Feng looked at Xiao Qing and his face turned pale. Is there anything in the deepest part of the reservoir?
It's more than ten meters. If Mengmeng and Bell fall down, Xiaoqing won't dare to think about it at this moment. She just wants to run to the reservoir quickly.
"Yes, Xiaoqing, let's go ride motorcycles." Lin Ying pulled a few girls and ran up. After a while, the sound of several four-wheeled motorcycles startled a flock of birds. Li Feng was not idle here either.
Walking along the path towards the other side of their small mountain forest, the two children were a little flustered in their hearts. They just hoped that nothing would happen, otherwise how could they explain to their grandmother.
The hill at home is mostly covered with bamboo forests, pine trees, weeds, and shrubs in the back. The mountain road is very narrow, about half a meter long. It is quite difficult for Li Feng to walk. It is not that his clothes are tangled in branches, vines, thorns, and weeds.
The machete I brought will come in handy now, cutting through thorns and thorns. There is no dam here. There is a natural pergola with branches and vines above the head. There are not many big trees here, and they have been artificially modified. Although some pine trees have been planted randomly.
Most of them are still low shrubs, grasses, and wild fruits, and there are always a lot of low trees, which provide less shade.
It was a hard journey for Li Feng. His whole body was wet with sweat and stuck to his body. The sun was so strong that Li Feng wondered if he had made a mistake. Will Mengmeng and Lingdang come here?
"Woof woof."
"Fat Boy." Li Feng was startled, his face full of surprise. Fat Boy was following Mengmeng and Ling Dang. At this time, when he heard Fat Boy's cry, Li Feng was so happy that he trembled slightly and shouted loudly. It was rare for Li Feng to lose his mind.
,Excited.
"Ah, Uncle Li, come quickly." Mengmeng heard Li Feng's voice in the distance, full of surprise and eager voice, which made Li Feng's nerves suddenly tense. Could it be that the two children were in danger.
At this moment, Li Feng ignored his fatigue and ran quickly towards the place where the sound came from. Along the way, his shirt was hung up and torn a few times, but Li Feng didn't care about him. He was anxious and clenched the machete in his hand.
, the mountains here are close to the villages. The most likely ones are wild boars, golden cats, civets, and spotted dogs. Other wild animals rarely appear here.
Not to mention wild boars, they are clever and ferocious, run fast, and are also very vigilant. The bristles on their bodies serve as a "coat" to keep warm. The tusks in the pig's mouth are sharp, and the bristles and skin are coated with solidified rosin, making it difficult for shotgun bullets to penetrate.
, especially in groups. Li Feng is not careless. As for the golden cat, this is a relatively large cat. The body is about one meter in size and the tail is half a meter long. It weighs thirty or forty pounds. It is known as the "yellow tiger".
But this thing lurks day and night, preying on rats, rabbits, birds and deer, as well as poultry. It has been seen less and less in recent years. There is a legend that the "yellow tiger" can jump on the tiger's back and bite the tiger's neck off.
This shows that this can be considered a medium-sized beast.
As for civets, Li Feng really didn't pay attention to them. There's nothing special about them. It's just that civets often rub around the stone walls and secrete a fragrant oil paste. The amount of fragrance secreted is the largest during estrus in spring. And the amount of fragrance secreted is the same as that of animals.
The size of the body, the size of the sachet, and the health status of the body are related to the protein content in the feed. The first secreted fragrant green is yellow-white, and becomes darker after oxidation, and finally turns into brown. The initial fragrant has a fishy smell, which gradually fades away.
I heard that this thing was some kind of medicinal material, but Li Feng had never seen it before. Li Feng carefully and quickly ran to where Mengmeng and Lingdang were. With the machete in his hand, he was ready to fight with all his strength. Who knew when he saw that Mengmeng and Lingdang were there?
The thing he was pulling. Li Feng was dumbfounded. How did these two girls get this thing?
Li Feng looked at the newly dug soil on the side and finally knew what these two little girls had done in the past two or three hours. Digging holes was really impressive. The cave was at least two meters long, and two little girls actually let it go.
The girl dug it all out, I really have to admire the two little ones for their perseverance.
The two children were holding small toy-like shovels. Fortunately, the cave was right next to a spring, so it was moist and suddenly soft. Otherwise, the small shovels would not be able to dig.
"Mengmeng, how did you two find this thing?" Li Feng felt really strange. Although this thing is not very common, it is rare to see. Especially the two children dug it out with a small shovel.
, looking at the little thing that had almost become a ball. Li Feng felt quite sympathetic, it would definitely not be good to meet Mengmeng.
"Haha, Fatty found it. Uncle, look at this little one. It's pretty in purple." Mengmeng held the tail of the big pangolin with one hand, and took the little pangolin handed over by the bell with the other hand. It was rare that it turned out to be a pangolin.
It's only purple, usually small things are off-white.
This little thing was only about thirty centimeters tall. It was trembling slightly out of fear and nervousness. Li Feng took it over and fiddled with it a few times. Now that the thing was coiled into a ball, it looked a bit like Meng Meng holding a big ball in his hand.
"Let me tell you." Pangolins usually dig burrows and live in the grass in the foothills or humid places in the hilly shrubs. They come out at night and day, but it is difficult to see this thing in the daytime. It turns out that it smells like a fat boy.
It smells good, but the cave of this pangolin is neither deep nor long, otherwise the two little guys wouldn't be able to get it so easily.
Li Feng had forgotten that it was already summer at this time. At this time, caves were called summer caves. Most of them were built on the slopes with good ventilation and coolness to avoid rainwater. The cave tunnels were short, only about half a meter long. This one was already
It's quite deep. If it's winter, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky. The winter cave is built in the leeward direction of the sun, in a low-lying place, with a vertical height of more than 4 meters from the ground. The structure inside the cave is relatively complex, with winding tunnels that look like...
The gourd has an earthen wall built of earth at regular intervals, which can reach more than 10 meters in length. It also passes two or three termite nests. You can tell how many people can dig it out. I can only say that Mengmeng and Lingdang are lucky.
, this mother and son are unlucky.
Li Feng didn't say anything. He helped Mengmeng pick up the big pangolin. This guy looked like a turtle shell with no scales on the outside. Li Feng let go of his tail and found that these were all round balls. He weighed them in his hands and found that they were not light.
"Okay, let's go, you two, Mengmeng, do you know that your aunt is worried to death? I'll make a call and you can talk to her, otherwise your butt will be swollen in a while, but don't complain." Li Feng casually said.
He took out his cell phone and dialed Xiaoqing.
"Li Feng, found...Mengmeng, no?" Xiaoqing's voice was trembling slightly. There was nothing at the reservoir. The girls were filled with despair at this moment.
"Well, we found them. They are in the back mountain. I'll let Mengmeng talk to you." Li Feng looked at Mengmeng who was looking back and smiled. This girl is scared now.
"Speak carefully, otherwise your aunt will get angry and beat you later, and I won't help you." Li Feng's words made Mengmeng pouted. She slowly moved over and took the phone. Mengmeng wiped her eyes and started to make money.
That's it. This move is so powerful again. Li Feng is so impressed that he is so powerful. This is definitely a powerful move.
