Apocalyptic Tundra Age

"Did you see the woods in front of your house? Rabbits don't eat the grass by the side of the nest. Why do people in our village just stare at that hill? I really can't figure it out."

The Hemudu hut in Xu Zhonglei's family had just been built, and Sister Liu dragged Yinyin over to visit the house. After picking up a cup of tea, the conversation started.Sister Liu's first complaint was the increasingly enthusiastic logging activities in the village.

Xu Zhonglei and Cheng Yuming looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say. They were also victims of this incident.

This morning Xu Zhonglei tore off the calendar on July 40rd in the Gregorian calendar, but the temperature is only [-] degrees now, you must know that it is at least [-] degrees now, the sun will be shining hot, and people can wear only a pair of pants Too hot to sleep, but now?The whole village wears long-sleeved trousers, and occasionally they can come to cool down, and people shiver with cold at night.

Now there is no need for Xu Zhiping's mother-in-law to talk about how difficult the future will be, and the people in the village who have grown brains start to panic.

I don't know who it is, who sighed for two days on the bed wrapped in a quilt, and patted my deflated stomach, this is not okay!How to live in winter?

So during the time when Xu Zhonglei and Cheng Yuming were building the house, after the people in the village yelled at all the trees on all the hills in the southeast, north, and west of the village, some people finally couldn't help it.

I have worked so hard to walk long distances and climb many mountains. Is it because of the little sticks that fell from the big trees?Wouldn't it be nice to cut down a big tree directly?

fragrant!So delicious!

Therefore, half of the large artificial birch forest in front of Xu Zhonglei's house is now left.

"Boom!"

After talking for a while, another large and small birch tree, not more than five years old, fell down. It was not yet ready for juice and wood, but one of the biggest advantages of being a firewood was that it was easy to carry.

Xu Zhonglei went out to see that it wasn't half left, only one third left!There are bare tree stumps, one by one, Xu Zhonglei can see the main road in the village.

It turned out that this birch forest was tall and strong, with dense leaves, which helped to block the sight of many people visiting the small house of Xu Zhonglei's family, and it was very cool to turn on the lights with electricity.

This is good, whether he is looking at the village or the villagers are looking at him, he can see everything at a glance and have a wide field of vision.

At home, he leaned on the railing of the big iron gate and looked out. He saw the vegetable garden, the birch forest, and an acre of Chinese cabbage. He could even see clearly the two drying rooms at the entrance of the camp in the village.

Look again, on the curb, a middle-aged man who was dragging a young birch tree and walking towards the camp turned around and shouted:

"Oh ho, stone!"

Seeing someone looking at him, Xu Jinpeng raised his hand, called out as a greeting, then covered his head and left.Time is precious, and the most important thing is to quickly carry the tree home.

"Okay!" Xu Zhonglei also yelled back. He now understands why the elders in the countryside like to speak loudly. The villages are too far apart, and the voice can only be heard louder, so this is not a question of quality, but a question of habit.

With a "boom", another big tree fell down in the birch forest in front of him.

"There's really no other way..." Xu Zhonglei muttered, pulling down the big iron gate and entering the house.

What can he say, can he live and die, cry, and run in front of others to say not to cut down trees anymore?What are you kidding?He, Xu Zhonglei, can burn a kang and use coal to live comfortably, but can he let others freeze to death on the big kang in winter with a shy face?

That is, if he uses the electricity at night, it is best to close the curtain and enjoy it by himself, so that no one else can see it.

"See?" Cheng Yuming leaned closer and asked quietly.

Xu Zhonglei thought that the plan he was thinking just now, to close the door and draw the curtains to play at home so that no one could see, was overheard.

Startled for a moment, he said bluntly, "What did you see?"

Cheng Yuming: "They cut down trees!"

"I'm not blind." Xu Zhonglei heaved a sigh of relief.

Sister Liu stared at the two of them with a suppressed smile. She was unable to move, so she greeted Xu Zhonglei and said, "Shitou, Xiao Cheng said that you two..."

Xu Zhonglei turned his head:?

Cheng Yuming:!

"He said that the wood you two used to build the house was cut in Baiyang Village. How is it over there? I haven't been out for a long time." Sister Liu asked with a smile.

Cheng Yuming withdrew his hands that were about to cover people's mouths at any time, and heaved a sigh of relief.I was afraid in my heart: Sister, you must stop panting when you speak, thinking that you have slipped your mouth!

Xu Zhonglei sat down next to her, frowned and said, "I don't know where the living people over there have gone. Anyway, after we entered their village, there was no sign of any activity. We even walked around. They're all dead."

He said it indifferently, not someone he knew, death is sometimes just a string of numbers, and no emotion can be interpreted.

"Over there...their side is close to the mountain. I was thinking, our own tree can no longer be cut down... Tell me, can this be done?" Sister Liu asked hesitantly.

Xu Zhonglei casually said what Sister Liu couldn't say, and said:

"Go to Baiyang Village to cut trees? It's a bit far away. When Xiao Cheng and I went there last time, we found that the road was loose for a while, and it was much more difficult to walk. It took more than an hour to walk there, and we only got two trees back and forth like this." It’s too bad to come back, the villagers will definitely not be able to do it.”

"Ah, that's it." Sister Liu looked very depressed.

Time is precious, and it took a whole day to get back three or four trees for firewood. No one would do such a stupid thing. Now people in the village cut down birch trees, and they can bring back twenty or so trees a day. I made a little calculation in my heart, and even if I think about it with my butt, I know that it is cost-effective to cut down the big tree in front of the house.

"Brother, how about..."

I have my own national conditions, which is called concentrating power to do big things, and the big trees that are cut down directly cannot be used directly.So, there is one thing that can still be done.

"Xiao Cheng, you are not bad! No wonder your brother Shitou likes you, this child is smart!" Sister Liu smiled happily, took her little daughter to leave, "I will go back and tell your brother Zhiping immediately, Shitou, you are busy! This matter Hurry up, I'm going back!"

Cheng Yuming was praised so much that the corners of his mouth went to the sky, and he hummed a song proudly, how cold it is~ I play mud in the Northeast~ Although the Northeast is not big~ I don’t have a home in Dalian~ah~

Even the Indian-style vibrato is trembling very tastefully.

***

What Cheng Yuming suggested is called collective tree cutting, which was inspired by the collective hunting of primitive people.

People in the village cut trees by themselves. From picking trees, sawing, cutting trees, and transporting, they all do it all by themselves. Cheng Yuming has seen this process when he went outside to water the Chinese cabbage. Efficiency Work efficiency aches and pains.

As a modern person, who has experienced the influence of nine-year compulsory education, he must know: What is the soul of capitalism?There is only one answer, social division of labor!

"I think you have such an idea, so you don't have good intentions! It's purely for torturing me! Fuck you, please wait!" Xu Zhonglei panted heavily, and walked down the mountain with a log on his back. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. The more angry you are, the more you curse.

The social division of labor means that each of them only does one thing. The two of them, big and small, come out with the old and young in the village. They can't rush to do such easy things as sawing wood and cutting branches. Carrying a heavy camphor tree stump on one end, the man said: "Everyone under the age of 35, come to carry the tree! Children, old men, no one can snatch it! Whoever moves my wood, I will be in a hurry with whoever!"

After getting off the mountain, out of everyone's sight, Xu Zhonglei held back his anger.Where is it not possible to cut down trees? It has to be on the mountain?Uphill and downhill, downhill and uphill, back and forth hundreds of times, when will it end.

"How dare I torture you?" Cheng Yuming was aggrieved in front of him carrying a log. If he really wanted to torture people, why would he use this method? Does he have a lot of ideas?Besides, it wasn't something you did yourself?

"Hmph." Xu Zhonglei breathed out his nose, not wanting to speak.

"Boom! Boom!" The big camphor tree slammed on the concrete road and made two dull sounds.

"That's it, move the position, the one behind is easy to put." Xu Zhonglei commanded and adjusted the position of the tree, then turned his head and went up the mountain again, not even bothering to give Xiao Cheng such a cheater a look.

The felling of trees on the mountain was in full swing, and the benefits of each performing their duties were quickly revealed.Even the big trees were sawn into long strips of wood two people tall, which was convenient for people to transport.

Xu Zhonglei picked up a piece of wood casually. It was a paulownia tree with a crooked neck. People in the village did not pay attention to cutting trees. When they walked up the mountain, they caught a glimpse of something pleasing to the eye and went up with a saw. When the tree fell, they picked another one. The paulownia tree is still blooming, and the trunk is not thick, so it is useless.

"Brother, the neck of the tree in your hand is almost crooked to Mars?" Cheng Yuming followed up the mountain, couldn't help leaning over, and said with a smile.

Xu Zhonglei punched him, and laughed and scolded: "Go away! No matter how crooked your neck is, your butt is not crooked. You wash the dishes at night."

He is not a person who makes trouble out of no reason. When he moves his mind a little, he will stop doing it, and his reason will occupy the high ground.

"Brother Shitou, do you still wash the dishes? This man just can't do it. Hurry up and kick him, cousin, I'll find him for you."

Xu Tianci passed by whistling, holding a saw and was really going to go up again, but after hearing such a conversation, he made a bad mouth again, squeezed cross-eyed, his face was huddled and smiled strangely at the two of them.

Cheng Yuming was anxious, and rushed to the line:

"Take care of yourself! Be less aggressive and work more. I don't think you can do as much work as Sister Chunjuan! What are you giving my brother to find someone? Are you itchy again?"

"Who's your brother? Who do you recognize as your brother with a silly face? What kind of shit face are you calling your brother? Come on, come on, let's see if I recognize you, my sister-in-law..."

Although Xu Tianci's mouth was stinky, his skin was still not thick enough. He stepped back while cursing, his eyes wandering in the direction of Xu Zhiping.

Cheng Yuming's face turned red with anger, and he swung his fist towards that side, but he didn't expect someone to move faster than him.

Xu Zhonglei waved a long piece of wood in his hand and threw it directly at Xu Tianci's face, and said with a smile, "See if I recognize my wife! Open your dog eyes and see if I recognize you, my cousin! Who gave you face? Call me brother, keep your mouth clean about my affairs, and don't touch my people!"

Xu Tianci had always been on guard against the attack from Cheng Yuming, but he didn't expect that this time the stick came from his cousin, who was always more educated. With a heck, he was abruptly hit by the paulownia tree with crooked neck.

Xu Tianci has rich experience in escaping. He gritted his teeth and ran away, shouting as he ran: "You hit me, my brother hit my brother, shameless! On the cemetery on the west side of the Xu family's old house, hundreds of ancestors will surely die today." Fuck you! How dare you hit me? Even my mother-in-law has never hit me!..."

Xu Tianci's yelling gradually faded away, Xu Zhonglei also wanted to comfort Cheng Yuming who had been wronged today, and by the way, talk about the problem that the paulownia tree with crooked neck is long and hollow, and it is difficult to beat people easily.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yuming did not wait for his comfort, but carried a big tree covered in thorns on his own, and carried it on his shoulders without hesitation, so surprised that Uncle Guosheng, who was barking the tree, shouted:

"I don't want it! The tree that hasn't been peeled, you little boy, you are so reckless, you don't even want your shoulders!"

"Oh, good." Cheng Yuming hastily put down the prickly bark tree in his hand, randomly picked a piece of big rolling log, and quickly descended the mountain in two steps at a time, almost tripped over by a branch lying across , but he finally overcame many inexplicable difficulties and obstacles under his feet, and walked firmly to the road where the timber was placed.

Xu Zhonglei was stunned standing behind him. If he read correctly, Xiao Cheng has taken a new path?Still walking fast?Did he suddenly eat something?

"Hey, that kid in your room is as red as a monkey's butt, does he have a fever?" Uncle Guosheng couldn't help reminding him while chopping firewood.

"I'll go down and have a look later... I also think it's not normal..." Xu Zhonglei hurried down with his neck twisted.

Cheng Yuming sat on the wood with his fists against his face, and now he wanted to ask the Almighty Mouhu:

The person I have been secretly in love with for a long time suddenly rushed out to be a hero to save the beauty, and called me my wife. May I ask what the name of our child should be?Which side of the double tomb faces the best geomantic omen?Waiting online, so urgent!
