Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Before going home, Zhao Yeqing cut up the two dead fish and put them in a fish cage as bait to continue fishing.

The leaves won't leak, but she couldn't bear the shaking of her hands.

When I got home, the water in the leaves was basically gone, and there were only a dozen small fish left in it that flicked their tails from time to time.

Maybe it was because it had rained in the past two days, and the wild boar did not come to cause trouble in the vegetable garden again.

It was God's blessing. The heavy rain washed away the smell of her journey back from cutting pine oil. The black blind man should not be able to find her.

Throw the small fish you brought back into the basin and add some water to them.

Put the fungi aside for now and deal with them later.

The ground that had rained was a bit muddy, and the floor in the yard was not paved with tiles or slates, but was still made of dirt. As you walked up and down, there were a series of muddy footprints on the floor of the house.

Zhao Yeqing didn't clean it. He would have to walk around for a while anyway and it would still be dirty.

While the ground is wet, saw out the planks and hammer them in. It will be easier than when the ground is dry.

After eating the last two buns, Zhao Yeqing went out carrying the power supply and the chainsaw.

That day, for fear of snakes, all the branches and leaves were removed, leaving only a bare trunk of the big tree on the ground.

The trunk of the tree was so thick that she couldn't carry it by herself. A lot of soil was brought out from the roots of the tree, leaving a big hole where it originally grew.

Zhao Yeqing measured the length of the trunk with a ruler and divided the entire trunk into three sections. Each section was about two meters long. One section of the trunk could cut out eight boards of varying widths.

While sawing the boards, she wrapped her head and face with a piece of clothing and put on a pair of sunglasses to prevent sawdust from flying into her eyes and splashing on her face.

Zhao Yeqing is 1.66 meters tall, and the wooden board is a head taller than her when it is erected. It is not easy to stretch out her hands, so she can only knock each wooden board into the ground with her feet stepping on the bench.

She was so busy that when there was only a trace of the sun left and the orange light shone through the mountain top on the vegetable garden, she knocked the last wooden board into the ground.

Each side of the homestead was about twenty meters long. She spent the whole afternoon laying it out, and the side behind the house was fenced fifteen meters wide.

At this rate, it would take her more than 4 days to surround all sides, not counting the time to cut down trees.

People use cranes and trucks to cut down trees and transport wood. She only has an electric tricycle and herself.

If you only cut down the trees around the house, you can save transportation time. She looked in the woods next to the vegetable garden and found that the terrain was relatively flat, so the cut trees would not roll down the mountain.

It's just that these trees are not as big as the one that fell before. These are still smaller, only half the diameter of that tree.

A tree can produce up to ten planks, which are not as wide as that tree. It would take approximately 20 trees to cut down a fence.

Because the width is narrower, it means there are more boards to hammer into the ground and the work hours will be longer.

She calculated with her fingers that it would take 20 days to complete the fence, and she would be able to harvest all her vegetables...

...

What to do, she already wants to give up...

Oh, without a team, one person can only work until death.

Zhao Yeqing went home, washed the mushrooms and threw them into a pot to cook a large pot of mixed mushroom soup. He sliced ​​the previously defrosted meat, seasoned it with starch, and made it into smooth meat slices and poured it into the mixed mushroom soup.

From the moment the lid of the mushroom soup was lifted, the house was filled with a strange smell.

Zhao Yeqing took out his mobile phone and opened a variety show, poured the rice into a large bowl, poured mushroom soup on the rice, and soaked up every grain of rice.

My grandma used to be a famous herbalist in her family. I heard her say that many edible fungi contain trace amounts of toxins, but by adding shiitake mushrooms, most of the toxins can be eliminated.

In my childhood memories, shiitake mushrooms have been very popular with my grandma and are known as the king of fungi. At this time, my grandpa will eat the shiitake mushrooms in one bite and then say "Let's see who is the king".

Zhao Yeqing put the bowl on the table, put his chopsticks on it, and softly called his grandparents' names. After two minutes, he sat down to eat.

This is their custom here. When they cook a meal that their deceased loved one loved to eat, or when they have a feast of fish or meat during festivals, they will first set up chopsticks to offer it to their loved ones.

Zhao Yeqing slowed down every mouthful of rice and chewed it carefully before swallowing it. She loved eating soup rice, but it was easy for people to ignore chewing and swallow it directly. There was a saying that eating soup rice hurts the stomach.

So every time Zhao Yeqing eats rice with soup, he tries to slow down as much as possible.

Zhao Yeqing put the fish caught in the fish cage next to the stove and baked them into small dried fish.

She spent the past few days chopping down trees, fishing in small pools, and picking wild vegetables.

Zhao Yeqing basically no longer keeps vigil at night. The wild boar came twice more and was scared away by the torch erected next to the vegetable garden. During the day, when she got up to cut down the trees, she saw the footprints of the wild boar nearby.

The torch couldn't sustain burning for a whole night, so Zhao Yeqing used stones to pile up several areas similar to bonfire circles, laid enough wood and charcoal on the ground, and added pine oil, and lit it from about 11 o'clock in the evening, which could last until morning. It's after five o'clock.

She doesn't sleep long either. If she squints for a while at noon, six hours of sleep at night is enough. If she sleeps for eight or nine hours, she won't be able to get up.

After ten days, most of the wall was built. From the first day when I was lying on the bed after work, unable to lift my hands, to the tenth day when I could walk as fast as I could with a wooden board in one hand and a chainsaw in the other.

She felt that she was already a mature construction worker.

After she cut down more than a dozen trees in the forest next to the vegetable field, a small area was left vacant. She thought about what she could do with this area.

The ground was not completely empty. There were still more than a dozen tree stumps on the ground. He did not dig out the stumps. There were still many hidden leaf buds in the stumps. If they were not affected by the disaster and died, they would still be able to grow side branches and become trees in time.

Zhao Yeqing sat on a tree stump to rest while working. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. The weather has been getting hotter recently, and this year's summer seems to have come earlier than in previous years.

The mobile phone cannot receive the weather forecast, and the body temperature should be around 25 degrees.

In previous years, Meishan could still wear a sweater and a coat during this month.

As the weather warmed up, the peppers, eggplants and tomatoes planted were catalyzed by the temperature and began to bear buds one after another. Zhao Yeqing was a little worried. This happened earlier than she expected. Watering once every two days became once a day, and fertilization also kept up. If you water frequently, nutrients will be lost quickly, so you need to fertilize with water every few days.

Recently, the electric saw cannot supply electricity to the refrigerator, so she cannot store food. She takes time to go out to find fresh food almost every day at noon. She goes into the woods to avoid the sun and avoid working when the ultraviolet rays are strongest.

There are no fruits on the loquat tree anymore. The peach trees and osmanthus trees next to it have not bloomed when she came back. The trees have been full of flowers since the ground cracked, and they have withered a lot in the past few days.

The peach blossoms caused by the high temperature do not fall piece by piece, but fall to the ground intact. The sweet-scented osmanthus tree is the four-season osmanthus tree, which blooms several times a year. Tear open the plastic bag and spread it on the ground and shake the branches. The golden osmanthus tree The rain of flowers fell on the bag, and soon it became a thick layer.
