The air in the mountains and forests smelled so fresh at any time, accompanied by the smell of grass and flowers, Xu Feihang took a heavy breath, and suddenly felt comfortable all over his body.

The road in the mountains has no cement, but it is still very clean and smooth, and the grass grows on both sides, and the autumn cicadas do not know where to hide and keep chirping, and the bullfrogs in the rice fields in the distance also join in the fun, and the frogs in the row seem to be staging a carnival of their own.

These scenes are exactly the same as Xu Feihang's memory, with their company, Xu Feihang will not feel lonely at all when walking on the dark road alone, playing the picture of his childhood in his mind, looking at one or two fireflies that occasionally fly out of the grass, Xu Feihang found that he had walked to the depths of the valley unconsciously.

This is where the mountain people live together, Xu Feihang's original home has been demolished, and his mother sold the timber of the house for some money, so now it is just an empty land.

Naturally, there is no hotel in such a valley, Xu Feihang decided to borrow a night at the neighbor Uncle Lin's house, he still remembers that Uncle Lin was a very amiable elder, and he provided a lot of help to his family in the days when his father died.

Xu Feihang came to the door of Uncle Lin's house, and before he could get closer, he saw that the door of one of the rooms was opened, and the light from the room made Xu Feihang see clearly that the other party was an elder with gray hair, and Uncle Lin's appearance had not changed, but he looked a lot older than before. Xu Feihang was secretly glad that Uncle Lin's family was still living here, and immediately shouted in his direction, "Uncle Lin!"

Uncle Lin was about to pour the water in the bucket on the ground, when he heard Xu Feihang's shout, he found that there was still a person standing in the dark, Uncle Lin frowned and identified it, but did not recognize the identity of the young man in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "Are you?"

Ten years ago, Xu Feihang was still a primary school student, and now he has grown into a big guy, and the years have brought Xu Feihang a makeover to growth, but it only made Uncle Lin a few more wrinkles and some gray hair.

"Uncle, don't you recognize me? I'm Xu Feihang, Hanghang," Xu Feihang smiled on his face, but the corners of his eyes were a little moist unconsciously, ten years have passed in this moment, and even Uncle Lin can't recognize his current appearance.

"Are you, Hanghang?" Uncle Lin's puzzled expression suddenly turned into a full of surprise, he put the bucket in his hand aside, and walked in front of Xu Feihang with a little staggering.

Uncle Lin looked at Xu Feihang seriously from top to bottom, and finally seemed to confirm it, grabbed Xu Feihang's shoulders with both hands and said, "It's really Hanghang, I didn't expect you to grow so big!"

Xu Feihang smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm in college now." ”

Uncle Lin habitually touched Xu Feihang's head as before, "I'm afraid it's been more than ten years, since your father...", Uncle Lin subconsciously paused and swallowed the words back from his mouth, "Don't talk about that, it's all over, let's go talk first." ”

Uncle Lin walked inside with Xu Feihang's shoulder, and when he walked to the door, he shouted into the house, "Wife, take a look, who's coming..."

Xu Feihang had a full meal at Uncle Lin's house, and slept beautifully, and the fatigue of traveling was completely eliminated in his deep sleep. The next morning, Xu Feihang woke up to the sound of birds, and he saw the golden morning sun shining through the window.

Last night, Xu Feihang had already told Uncle Lin that he came back this time to see the mountain where his father worked and lived, as well as the tree king in the mountain.

After listening to this, Uncle Lin immediately said that he would personally take Xu Feihang into the mountain, after so many years, he was afraid that Xu Feihang would no longer remember the mountain road. Xu Feihang didn't want to delay Uncle Lin's time, he believed that he should still be able to find that mountain road, but at Uncle Lin's insistence, he still agreed to let him go with him.

After breakfast, Xu Feihang and Uncle Lin set out for the mountains and forests, and Uncle Lin told him that the work they were doing now was not much different from that of ten years ago. Basically, the trees are cut down, cut into sections, and transported to a wood processing plant, where the processed wood is transported by train to all parts of the country. Although transportation has become easier, their timber production has not increased, because the trees still take exactly the same time to grow into forests as before, and they have to wait until the timber grows before they can cut down.

"You see, I planted this sapling last month, and now it's a little taller," said Uncle Lin as he walked along the rugged mountain road, suddenly pointing to a sapling on the side.

Xu Feihang saw a very natural smile on his face, Uncle Lin was like watching his child grow up slowly, perhaps this is the greatest joy of being a lumberjack.

Xu Feihang feels that every scenery and every corner has residual memories of his childhood, he also walked up the mountain with his father along this mountain road when he was a child, and his father always wore the pair of liberation shoes on his feet, but every step up the mountain was particularly steady.

"I'm afraid this tree is ten years old, and it should be ready to be cut down in a few days," Uncle Lin seemed to have found a mature tree, and after looking up and down, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Xu Feihang also looked at the trees in front of him, and after a few seconds, his eyes suddenly froze, if he remembered correctly, he and his father had planted a sapling together here.

Xu Feihang's face suddenly became serious, he looked back at his position, and looked at the scenery in front of him, after checking with the picture in his memory, Xu Feihang could already confirm that this tree was planted by his father for himself!

Xu Feihang's eyes turned red all of a sudden, ten years ago, it was just a sapling about the same height as himself, and now, it has grown into a straight and towering towering tree.

Xu Feihang raised his head silently, his eyes saw the top of the tree, and under the sunlight, each of its leaves reflected a golden brilliance. Father's words sounded in Xu Feihang's mind, "The trees we cut down now are all left by the previous generation, and the saplings are planted where the trees fell for the sake of future generations living in the mountains, Hanghang, when you grow up, this tree will be mature." ”

The sapling has indeed become a tree, but his father is long gone, Xu Feihang's raised face unconsciously shed a teardrop, did his father ever think that after ten years, only himself and the tree that have become mature will remain.

"Hanghang, what's wrong with you?" Uncle Lin hadn't been able to change Xu Feihang's name yet, and still called him the same way he did when he was a child.

Xu Feihang secretly wiped away his tears, smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, this tree grows so well..."
