Start being a hermit today

Chapter 37 Little Pheasant

Taking advantage of the energy, I not only gave myself a double morning exercise package.

The sweat that is swaying, that is my youth, bah...

Looking at the progress of the physical exercise task, it seems that there is no hope in a short time.

A new day, a new task, today he will bring down a tree.

This is a cypress tree, which is said to have been planted by my grandmother and has grown for more than 30 years.

Grandma patted the tree and sighed a little: "For a moment, it's been more than 30 years. I used to say that I would save it for your father to repair the house."

"Hey, I used a lot of it some time ago."

Not only does she know that grandma has always hoped that her son can build a house in his hometown, but my father has already bought a house outside the province, and he has always wanted the two old people to go there to retire.

But they were unwilling to leave the village, saying that they were too idle to panic.

"It's a pity that this tree was cut down for firewood." Grandpa looked up at the tree, feeling a little pity.

"Who said it should be used as firewood? I want to make something after a while, but I found good wood."

Not only was the tree cut down, but on the one hand, it was because of the wind blowing in the front, which made the tree crooked. This tree is too close to home, and it would be bad if it fell down and hit people.

On the other hand, in order to get some wood, his reclining chair task has not progressed so far. Although he has not used it much, he still lacks confidence in himself.

Moreover, the junior carpenter rewarded by the task looks very good, and I will definitely give it a try when the time comes.

Cutting down a tree is hard work, and cutting down a tree that is crooked is even harder. If the tree is crooked in the right direction, it will be fine, but if it is not, it will be troublesome and requires manual adjustment.

It's not just the one to be cut that's a bit wrong, it's a little bit biased towards my house, and needs to be fine-tuned to the right.

As soon as Grandpa picked up the axe, He Zhi snatched it away: "Grandpa, just watch from the sidelines."

"You brat, why do you think grandpa is old?"

He Zhi shook his head hastily, "No, no, you are always strong."

"I'm still old, right?"

"Hey." He Zhi grinned.

Holding the axe, I looked at the direction in which the tree was slanted, and I used the axe to chop the bottom with an axe and made a mark.

After a while, cut a V-shaped opening at this position, and then use a saw to cut it from the front, and the tree will fall in the direction it was cut before. To prevent accidents, grandpa asked He Zhi to tie a hemp rope on the tree mountain. If the direction is wrong, just stand in the upper right corner and hold it. Of course, this is just the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

But with this kind of work, of course we can't forget Mr. Wang.

"Boy, do you think of me whenever something happens?"

"Who made the whole village just Mr. Wang and me, two young lads?"

Wang Shi shook his head: "Don't, don't, I'm old, I'm old."

As he said that, he was about to turn around and walk back, so he quickly dodged to block the way.

"Teacher Wang, my grandfather seemed to have taken something off the wall today and said he wanted to give it to you as a gift."

More than resorted to kill!

"Oh?"

Upon hearing his words, Wang Shi's eyes lit up and he immediately stopped moving.

"Sure enough, teacher, you have been coveting my bacon for a long time..."

Wang Shi didn't answer, but picked up the hemp rope from the ground, "Why haven't you started yet?"

I didn't expect you to be such a teacher Wang!

You need to take your time when cutting down cypress. The material of this tree is relatively compact and it is one of the favorite woods for carpenters here.

Of course, I also like it very much. The main reason is probably that it is easy to cook.

When he was young, he liked watching TV very much. Whenever he was asked to cook a pot, he liked to stuff a few pieces of cypress firewood into the stove, so he didn't have to worry about it going out halfway.

"Teacher Wang, we are going to start to claim, be careful!"

Wang Shi nodded, and tightened his hands on the rope. In fact, he was still a little nervous. He had been an actor and a teacher for so many years. .

However, he didn't give him time to get nervous, he hid there with his grandfather, and quickly pulled up the saw from left to right.

Wang Shi soon felt the movement of the hemp rope in his hand, the tree was tilting!

This moment really made him a little nervous, so he quickly leaned back a little and stretched the rope straight with his hands.

Hearing a squeak, the half-occupied cypress tree immediately fell to the prepared side, He Zhi and grandpa quickly pulled out the saw to avoid being pinched.

As the big tree fell to the ground, Mr. Wang, who had been tense on the rope, sat down on his butt because of his unstable center of gravity.

The sound of the tree falling was not small, not only startled Mr. Wang, but also scared the birds on the surrounding trees to fly around.

He Zhi hurried over to help him up: "Mr. Wang, are you okay?"

Wang Shi patted his butt, expressing that he was fine.

Seeing that Teacher Wang was fine, he was more than relieved. Although this job was not dangerous, Wang Shi had never done it after all, so he was always worried. If he couldn't find a suitable person, he actually didn't want to trouble Teacher Wang.

"Brother, that bird seemed to have dropped something just now."

The younger sister, He Yan, had been making soy sauce by the side, and saw that among the few birds that had just been scared away, one flew into a bag and seemed to have dropped something.

Quickly ran to He Zhi's side, and dragged him to the place where the things fell.

"Slow down, sister, what is it?"

"If you don't know it in the past."

little girl!Did no one tell you that curiosity killed the cat?

"Uh, I seem to have forgotten to say..."

"That's right here!" The younger sister pointed to her vegetable field. This is the garden behind the eaves of their house. Because it is close, they always grow some vegetables.

"Where is there anything?"

Before the words were finished, it was more than that he really discovered something.

It's a little bird, a little pheasant to be precise, and it can't fly yet.

The movement just now should have scared the mother pheasant, so she hurriedly ran away with the little guy. Unfortunately, the little thing still fell down halfway because it was too heavy or for other reasons...

"Wow, brother, what should we do with this?"

"How do I know?"

Hold the little pheasant in the palm of your hand, more than a little bit worried, as if you didn't see it?Not only does he think he can't do it, but he asks him to raise it, but he is worried that he won't be able to raise it, because he really has never raised this kind of bird.

Although it has the same word as chicken, the chicken at home can run around once it hatches, and can eat by itself. Look at the pheasant in my hand, it's trembling and its hair hasn't even grown. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you can be self-reliant!

He suddenly remembered that when he was 16 years old, he also picked up a little bird and took it home with great interest to raise it. As a result, during lunch time, his raccoon cat had an extra meal...

"Huh? Is this a little pheasant?"

Teacher Wang also came over at some point, seeing the little pheasant in He Zhi's hand, he immediately became interested.

Just by looking at his reaction, he immediately knew what he should do.

"Teacher Wang, do you want it?"

Wang Shi didn't seem to hear what he said, he was staring at the little pheasant in his hand, wondering what he was thinking, and swallowed.

"Ok?"
