Reborn 1980: Scientific research leader farms to serve the motherland

Chapter 236 Fire Fighting

Jiang Xia touched her face subconsciously, and knew something was wrong the moment she touched it.

"Are you saying I'm thick-skinned?"

"No, don't slander me."

An Ning turned around proudly, with the corners of her mouth raised, feeling relaxed and happy.

Jiang Xia shook his head slightly, with a look of helplessness as if there was nothing he could do about you. No one saw it.

The two of them started climbing the mountain, one behind the other.

The mountains behind them are huge.

The mountain contracted by An Ning is just a small hilltop, belonging to Shiligou alone.

But the area where the two of them are now is beyond Shiligou and belongs to the town.

The further you go, the taller the trees become.

As soon as the beginning of spring passes, the branches are indeed as Jiang Xia said, neither dry nor brittle, and begin to be full of tenacity.

An Ning tried to break off a small section at the top of a branch, and said with admiration: "The wisdom of our ancestors is really invincible."

"This solar term is really amazing."

An Ning held up a small branch from Souli and said, "I still remember that as soon as the Beginning of Autumn passed, the wind direction immediately changed, the sky became higher and bluer, and it was even chilly in the morning and evening."

"But it's obviously the day before the beginning of autumn, and it's still so sweltering that it's hard to breathe."

"When you talk about solar terms, how did they arrange it?"

Jiang Xia admired something for the first time when he saw An Ning.

He really wanted to impress her and tell her why, but unfortunately, he also admired that group.

"Who knows, our thousands of years of culture will always have something to offer."

An Ning agreed, and the two continued to move forward.

Along the way, the two picked a lot of things along the way.

Many kinds of mushrooms, or some rare wild vegetables in spring, have begun to show their heads.

Jiang Xia taught An Ning how to identify, and An Ning asked while digging: "How do you know so much?"

"Why don't I know? I have lived in the village for many years."

An Ning has always known about this. She actually admires Jiang Xia. Such a person can always find his own way no matter the environment is good or bad.

"This thing is called brain melon, which is actually a small head of garlic. It tastes very good. It's good to fry eggs or pickle it into pickles."

An Ning first kept it in mind and didn't rush to dig wild vegetables.

The two of them had to go down the mountain before dark. On the mountain in the dark night, even two powerful people could not stay easily.

An Ning followed Jiang Xia for an unknown distance and finally arrived in front of the good tree he mentioned.

"So straight!"

An Ning didn't know how good the trees were, so she could only praise their appearance.

"Haha, you're right, it's indeed straight."

"Let me tell you, this tree is not prickly. The wood inside is fine, strong and durable. You can use it for hundreds of years without breaking."

"So powerful? What kind of tree is it?"

"Purple Sandalwood."

An Ning nodded, not yet able to understand the value of the word red sandalwood.

Even Jiang Xia did not expect that red sandalwood would be sold at that price.

“It’s not illegal for us to cut down trees, right?”

“If it’s not illegal now, who knows in the future.”

An Ning said nonchalantly: "It's okay as long as you don't break the law now."

"Give way!"

An Ning drove Jiang Xia away, holding an ax himself, raised it high, and dropped it hard.

"bump!"

A deep ax mark appeared on the tree.

Next, Jiang Xia witnessed with her own eyes what precise aesthetics of violence are.

The ax in An Ning's hand never missed a beat from beginning to end, and he really managed to hit wherever he pointed.

At this time, Jiang Xia still had time to joke with herself: If he and An Ning became a family, he would definitely be very honest.

An Ning cut down a tree for almost an hour without anyone's help, and finally cut it down.

She and Jiang Xia stood at the other end of the tree. An Ning gave her last kick and the tree fell in the opposite direction.

Next, break off the scattered branches, keep the main trunk, and tie a raft with hemp rope. Two people can still make it down the mountain with the weight of a piece of wood.

Jiangxia is in front and An Ning is behind.

The two worked together and trusted each other to roll the tree trunk down the mountain.

"Jiang Xia!"

An Ning exerted force on her hands and the rope was tightened. Jiang Xia stood sideways and looked up.

"Did you smell it?"

Jiang Xia had no doubts and sniffed a few times with her nose moving.

"Like fire..."

The two looked at each other.

"Come sideways, it seems to be over there."

An Ning's mental energy has spread out, looking for traces of the smell.

The two of them worked together to place the wood across several trees. After stopping, they ran hard towards the source of the fire.

"An Ning, if you can't save me, run away, you know?"

"Don't worry! I'm not stupid."

The two ran more than ten meters away and saw white smoke coming out of a spot.

There is a kiln there, and the conditions inside are temporarily invisible.

Before the two of them arrived, two boys jumped out of the cave, one with a stick in his hand and the other with a stone in his hand. They looked at Jiang Xia and An Ning with wary eyes.

"Hey, don't be nervous. We are from a nearby village. We saw someone burning a fire on the mountain, so we came to take a look."

With An Ning's gesture, Jiang Xia stayed put and An Ning moved forward a little bit.

The two boys opposite saw the girl An Ning and heard what she said. They immediately put down the sticks and stones in their hands. Tears streamed down their faces, leaving traces of marks on their dark faces.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

"We-we didn't mean it."

The two children cried and apologized. They didn't want to light a fire, but it was too cold, cold and hungry.

An Ning walked a few steps, jumped off the kiln, and extinguished the fire first.

"You have done a good job. You know how to block it with rocks and find a place with leeward wind."

After An Ning confirmed that the fire hazard was eliminated, she came to question the two boys.

After asking, I found out that the two boys were playful and ran farther and farther on the mountain and got lost.

Moreover, today is the second day since they were lost.

The two children spent the night safely on the mountain, which was both unfortunate and lucky.

An Ning and Jiang Xia asked about their addresses. It was still within the scope of Sanhe Town, but a little far away from Shili Gou, almost on the other side of the mountain.

"Let's do this. You guys come down the mountain with us. We'll live in Shiligou. When you get to our place, give your brigade headquarters a call and then send you home, okay?"

The two children nodded obediently.

An Ning took out a few candies from his pocket and handed over his water bottle.

"Eat this first, there is water here."

The two children took it, said thank you, and followed An Ning and Jiang Xia down the mountain.

Of course, wood has not been forgotten either.

When they were nearing the foot of the mountain, An Ning took her two children to the village headquarters. She explained along the way. The adults felt sad and turned around to give instructions to their children.

This is a living educational material. If you don't make use of it, these tiger children will not know how to be afraid.
