Chapter 7 Digging trees in the mountains
Seeing that it was still early, Li Feng mentally searched for a few fruit trees to plant in the space. There was a lot of open space to the left and right of the hut. There were peach trees left in the yard. There was no rush. He would build his own house and his own peach grove.
At least it would take more than a dozen peach trees to be removed. I just happened to sneak a few into the space and no one would notice. Speaking of peaches, there are more plums than plums. Li Feng’s family doesn’t have many plum trees, only a few outside the peach garden.
During the groundbreaking this time, these plum trees do not take up space and cannot be moved into the space. The plum trees in the space can only be found by themselves. Fortunately, the forest is very large and there are all kinds of fruit trees. This time Li Feng wanted to find plum trees.
Trees, pecan trees, pomegranate trees, and finally find a toon tree, then you can eat toon leaves every year. Mix the tender leaves with minced garlic, mature vinegar, add red pepper oil, and grind them on your own.
Sesame oil, beautiful.
Peach blossoms love water, and plum trees love mountains. To find peach trees, just follow the stream. However, to find plum trees, you may have to continue walking on mountain roads. Mountain roads are difficult to walk, especially if you have been worried about mountain roads for many years. You can’t help but stop one step at a time. There are only a few saplings in the mountains.
Jujube trees can grow several meters tall every year (about one meter), especially jujube trees. There are many saplings, but the small spikes on them are annoying. At first, Li Feng dug a jujube tree and put it into the space, but after walking a few steps, the roadside
The jujube tree beckoned again and pulled up his pants. He was really enthusiastic. While avoiding these branches, Li Feng looked for the tree species he had in mind. Not to mention, within ten minutes, a tree was found that was two to three meters high with dense branches.
The pomegranate tree with faint flowers appeared in Li Feng's eyes.
The pomegranate fruit produced by the pomegranate tree has a unique shape, with hundreds of seeds inside the skin. The seeds are crystal clear, sweet and sour, and rich in nutrients. The most important thing in the countryside is that pomegranates have many seeds, which means good things. Every house in Lijiagang will plant three kinds of pomegranates in every yard.
Two trees. In summer, the pomegranate trees in every yard are in full bloom. They are as bright as clouds and as red as fire. They are extremely bright and can be said to be edible and ornamental. When they were young, Li Feng and Li Ming often secretly made these.
Well done, sir. Fortunately, the pomegranate tree grows on the edge of the yard, hiding outside the yard wall. You can sneak a few of them at will. Whenever others see it, they will yell at a few bare-skinned monkeys and beat them up, causing the whole village to laugh and laugh.
laugh.
I remember another time, Li Feng was caught by someone, and he was stunned to say that he didn't steal it. Unfortunately, someone pulled Li Feng's little hand behind his back, and he caught him at a glance. This is also the most unlucky thing for a group of children.
I love pomegranates. It’s not easy to sell stolen goods. If you take a quick look, you will definitely know that this kid has eaten a pomegranate. Look at the mouth and tongue for mulberries, and look at the palms of hands for pomegranates. You can definitely see it right away.
It is rare to see a pomegranate that has already bloomed and bear fruit nowadays. It takes at least three years for a pomegranate tree to bloom and bear fruit. In addition, it is a good time to transplant. Li Feng will not be polite. He carefully removes it little by little. The roots of the tree have turned into lime soil, like
Waiting for a newborn baby. After about twenty minutes, Li Feng finally dug out the pomegranate tree. After thinking about it, he turned around and entered the space. He didn't dare to be as casual as before. There was a little naughty man inside, a scourge.
The thing is a good hand. Entering the space and watching the little fat boy wagging his tail and running to greet him, Li Feng felt proud. It was good to have a puppy. At least he had a companion when he came back.
"What is this?" Li Feng was just about to wave his hand to let the little guy go away, but he didn't expect to see the puppy's round belly. He was stunned and looked around. Could it be that he ate fish and shrimps in the spring water? That's not right. Remember it.
I had never eaten the crucian carp that was thrown on the ground. I picked up the fat boy and touched the fleshy belly. Poof, a mouthful of saliva sprayed on Li Feng's face.
"I'll go." Looking at Fatty's innocent eyes, Li Feng wiped his face depressedly, put down Little Fatty, and finally understood that this guy could only eat liquid food at the moment, and he drank a lot without seeing him.
The spring water in my stomach was really good. I went into the hut and took a towel to wipe my face. I thought about burying the pomegranate tree quickly. Time was running out. I was not even halfway through the search.
Li Feng was teasing, no, it was the fat boy who was harassing Li Feng. It took more than ten minutes before the pomegranate tree really settled here. He patted the soil on his hands, filled half a bucket of spring water, and watered it. Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
, there is finally some life in the space.
Fish are swimming around in the spring water, and in a few days the lotus leaves will come out, which will be even more beautiful. There are also pomegranate trees and flower seeds planted yesterday. In a few days, this empty space will have a completely different look.
Watching the fat boy chasing the pheasant is full of fun, and a touch of satisfaction flows in my heart like a clear spring.
He came out again and continued walking forward, picking up a lot of game along the way. Of course, in Li Feng's eyes, birds, hares, pheasants, and swans were all delicious food, as were the green wild vegetables, amaranth, wild celery, and wild garlic on the roadside.
, of course bracken must be counted, but it’s a pity that Li Feng doesn’t have time at this moment, otherwise he would dig some back. As for turtledoves and owls, I have to kill a few to see if the taste has changed? I haven’t eaten swan meat in more than ten years.
Yes, I really miss it. It’s a pity now that I heard that it has been protected as an animal. When I was a child, the red-crowned cranes and wild geese seemed to taste good. I don’t know if they are available now. As for the wild ducks, whether they have precious tails, big painted faces, green wings, or red heads
Wen, not only did Li Feng eat all of these, he also saw all kinds of wild ducks, chickens, water hyacinths, and even kingfishers. Li Feng also tasted them when he was a child, but it was a long time ago and he can’t remember clearly.
While trying to reminisce, he walked into the mountains. Time passed slowly. Li Feng dug out another pomegranate tree, a pear tree, and a plum tree. No pecans were found.
Patting his sleeves stained with soil, Li Feng threw the shovel into the space and picked up the little fat boy who was unwilling to come out. He quickened his pace and saw that the front was not far away, like a mirror, hanging above his head. Lijialing Reservoir
, speaking of this reservoir, it has a long history. In the 1960s, Fengshan County responded to the call of the country and built it. At that time, the number of migrant workers was absolutely staggering in today’s eyes. Nearly ten thousand people lived and ate together, and it took a lot of time.
It was built in three years and is nearly 20 meters high and more than 10 meters wide. The bluestones are piled up and poured with cement. The dam is nearly 50 meters long. It stands like a giant. It has weathered for a long time. Looking at the cement, the rocks have become gray.
A corner of the building is exposed, and the water viewing platform in the distance has been marked as a dilapidated house. Hundreds of bluestone paved steps remain untouched by the weather.
Standing on the dam and looking from a distance, the calf of a timid person would tremble. Li Feng's heart was pounding at first. Looking at the reservoir of nearly a thousand acres, you can imagine how spectacular the construction was at that time. You must know that
But there was no machinery, and the raw materials of bluestone were obtained locally, but the steel, cement and sand were carried up the mountain little by little. Li Shan once recalled that the scene at that time was densely packed with men, and no one was shirtless carrying a bamboo basket or a basket.
A bag of cement, or a bag of sand, steel bars, and an ox-cart and a horse-drawn carriage. It is said that on the day it was built, more than a hundred oxen and horses died from exhaustion. At the end of the stairs, a stone tablet records the era of burning passion and the man's belief in defeating heaven.
.
Looking from a distance, you can see the sparkling water of the reservoir, the wide water surface, hovering with white and colorful water birds, and the distant green mountains dotted with it. The river upstream of the reservoir is like a giant dragon, gently hidden among the mountains, breathing fresh air. Golden sunshine, spreading
, with faint ripples and the breeze, the little fat boy seemed to be shocked by the golden color in front of him, squatting next to Li Feng, quietly.
"Haha, the reservoir, although its former function has faded now, its former glory still fascinates people. Green mountains with green water, good horses with good saddles, water, and stone dams, it is perfect."
It's a pity that the east of the river flows into the river. It is no longer as important as it used to be. Although the city and the province have taken some protective measures to prevent fish farming and fishing, it is a pity that the erosion of the years has still left stains and the cement has cracked. Maybe
Will it cause any harm to the dam? Watching the black and gray pieces peel off bit by bit is like peeling off the memory piece by piece. Who will remember this place in the future?
The children in the village no longer come here to play, and the mountains are gradually sealing the road. Li Feng wonders if the adults have told his children the story of Zeng Jin here.
Li Feng has neither the ability nor the idea to save this declining reservoir. Things are important to life and death. Although it is inevitable to be emotionally sad, this is how it should be.
Li Feng walked down the steps with the dumbfounded fat boy and looked up at the reservoir. The tall old man could not escape the day he fell. The meaning of life also applies to such a great building.
On the way back, Li Feng, who wanted to play with Fatty, looked for traces of wild animals while teasing Fatty. Waiting for the snow to fall in winter, he would then go into the mountains and dive into the snowdrift with his buttocks exposed, pheasants, hares, or jumping around in panic.
Wild deer, deer, cute chirping squirrels.
"Eh" don't say anything. After walking most of the way, seeing that it was past five o'clock, Li Feng couldn't help but speed up his pace. He didn't care about looking for small animals anymore. His stomach was already growling at this moment. He was not fat.
Boy, I drank the spring water with all my heart. I didn’t expect that I had stopped looking for it, but it showed up. It was really hard to find anywhere, and it took no effort to get it. On the road in front of me, a small green snake was tightly wrapped around it.
A half-pricked squirrel baby, although it doesn't look big, it is quite cruel. It bites the snake's belly tightly. The two of them looked like they wanted to die together. Li Feng looked surprised and threw it in with his hands.
, space. Maybe the two little guys were frightened by the sudden change in space, and they let go at the same time.
The little snake was coiled up in a circle, spitting out pink messages, and the little squirrel was lying on its stomach, looking at the injured child. Li Feng looked at it, and there was nothing he could do. He was not a doctor, but fortunately, after a while,
, the squirrel reacted. It seemed that he was holding his breath, and after drinking a mouthful of spring water, the little guy finally regained his energy. The fat boy next to him watched Li Feng feed the little squirrel spring water, stopped doing it, bared his teeth, and growled.
, and asked Li Feng to hit his head with his index finger (curling his index finger). The aggrieved little fat boy held his tail between his legs and looked at Li Feng with watery eyes. This was a guy who knew how to be pampered. He had no choice but to rub this
Looking at the guy's forehead, looking at the wagging tail of Tian (that thing, you can't show it, you know), he has a fat guy in his palm, secretly cursing that this guy is the reincarnation of He Shen, he is so good at flattering. Compared with this, look at how little he has saved.
Snakes and little squirrels are all on guard. Forget it, I won’t argue with you.
Li Feng returned to the peach grove and looked at Li Shan and Zhang Lan who were transplanting peach trees, feeling a little confused.
"Mom and Dad, didn't you tell your third uncle? Ask them to come over and help move the peach tree." Li Feng asked softly, feeling a little heartbroken as he looked at his father who was still walking around, and at his mother who also had a big head.
I'm sweating, but my heart aches.
"Haha, what's the trouble? You know, one day's work pays one day, so save as much as you can. Your mother and I are not old enough to move. We can do these jobs." Li Shan showed a rare smile and said,
Li Feng remembered his father as a strict and unsmiling father. But when he came back this time, he discovered that his father's inner feelings were actually more delicate and silent than his mother's.
"Dad, let me help you." Li Feng didn't say anything. What was there to say? As a family, the peach blossoms became even more beautiful under the red sunset.
