On that day, Wang Yong went up the mountain alone to deliver the winter clothes, and did not let anyone accompany him.

I came to the graves of my parents, grandfather, and grandmother, and put the "winter clothes" and "bedding" I brought, as well as a large pile of paper money, all on several graves, and then began to burn the winter clothes according to the procedures explained by the aunt.

First of all, the pile of paper winter clothes, bedding and paper money should be poured with a circle of water around the water bottle that was brought, and a gap should be specially left to face the grave.

To do this, according to the aunt, it is necessary to demarcate the place, so that the things that he sent over can be received by his ancestors and will not be taken by others.

If you are troublesome, or if you forget to bring water, then you can find a stick or a stone to draw a circle, and of course leave a gap in front of the grave, so that the same can be achieved.

After completing these and preparing for the merits, Wang Yong began to ignite the fire. These things are all paper products, all of them are flammable, and it didn't take much effort to ignite.

Wang Yong was bravely breaking a dead branch on the road, constantly pulling the burning paper money to make them burn better and faster, and at the same time stood by and carefully guarded to prevent a mountain fire.

Today's weather is ok, cloudy, no wind, the sun is in and out of grey clouds. Since the solar terms are approaching the beginning of winter, the sun has long lost its former majesty and has become surprisingly warm.

Fortunately, there is no wind today, otherwise so many people who burn paper and send winter clothes, in case a gust of wind leads the weeds or mountains and forests, it will be a big trouble.

In previous years, there have been several forest fires in this mountainous area, but fortunately, because they were discovered in time, most of them were extinguished in time, and they did not cause much damage.

There was only the most recent fire, which was the autumn of the year before. Wang Yong was still living in the provincial capital at that time, and this was two days ago when he heard the uncle mention a few words to himself, the purpose was to remind himself to pay attention to fire prevention when he went to burn paper.

The fire broke out at Yamashita Village, some distance from the village of Yamashita, at the foot of the mountain. Behind the village is a slightly desolate mountain overgrown with weeds.

No one knows how the fire was lit, but it was about two o'clock in the afternoon when people found out, and a villager who was going to go around the mountain and pick up some dried mushroom fungus or something about the mountain goods first discovered the situation.

As soon as he saw a puff of smoke rising from the mountain, he immediately realized what was happening, and without saying a word, he took out his mobile phone and called the village secretary, and then shouted and beckoned the villagers to go up the mountain to fight the fire.

O mountain people. There is this tradition, if there is a fire on the mountain, no matter who encounters it, if it is generally possible not to threaten their own safety, then they must hurry up the mountain to put out the fire. Because this wildfire, it's really terrifying.

Haven't you seen the horror of the forest fire on the TV news? That's a big piece of burning! If you don't burn for a few days and nights, you can't stop!

Not only does it burn endlessly, but more importantly, if the wind blows in the direction of the village below, it is very likely to ignite the crops and houses under the mountain.

And if the trees and weeds on the mountain are burned out, then. Once it rains heavily, the villagers who live at the bottom of the mountain will suffer, and the mudslide is quite terrifying and irresistible.

So even for their own safety, the villagers are often active. Actively participate in fire extinguishing operations.

That time, the whole mountain was burned by the fire, and it was black and bare, and it was very ugly. In the end, a lot of manpower and material resources were mobilized, and a large area of isolation belt was opened to stop the fire.

Afterwards. The relevant government departments have been investigating for a long time and have to severely punish the relevant responsible persons, and finally I don't know why they have died down. But. However, he has been carrying out publicity and education activities on fire prevention knowledge for more than three months.

Up to now, in the summer and autumn wildfire season, as well as before and after the Qingming Festival, you can often see the fire prevention propaganda vehicles of the Forestry Bureau and the township, with loudspeakers on the top, constantly preaching fire prevention knowledge back and forth in the villages in this area.

So this time, Wang Yong was tirelessly taught fire prevention knowledge education by the uncle before going up the mountain, only to hear that he was dizzy, drowsy, and unbearable.

But today I came to deliver winter clothes, and as soon as the fire was lit, he was also careful in his heart, and he didn't leave the fire an inch, for fear that if he didn't pay attention to it and really ignited the mountain fire, it would be a big trouble.

Of course, if it is really ignited, he is not afraid, he did not wait for it to burn, he has a way to eliminate it in the embryonic stage, and will not expand its scope because it is too late to rescue, causing an uncontrollable mountain fire.

At the same time, he also spread his divine thoughts, staring at some other places. You don't have to worry about starting a wildfire, but what if someone else starts a wildfire? It's okay to help put out the fire as soon as possible.

It is not easy for these trees on this mountain to grow like this.

In the mid-90s, the forestry department dispatched a small plane to carry out aerial seeding, scattering an unknown number of catties of seeds, and then after more than 20 years of maintenance, there is today's scene.

If it is because of a fire that is burned out, then if you want to restore the green mountains here, it is Wang Yong, and on the premise that you can't expose the secret of your spiritual water, it won't be able to recover it in a while.

While paying attention to the situation around him, Wang Yong used a twig to pull the burning ashes, so that he could completely burn under his nose, and there would be no sparks left to prevent it from recurring.

Soon, Wang Yong burned his winter clothes and paper money, and then after making sure that the ashes had been completely burned, he poured water on the four piles of ashes one by one.

Just as he clapped his hands and prepared to go down the mountain to go home, a sudden scene in his mind made him stop one foot that had already stepped out, and stood there stunned without saying a word.

In the scope of his thoughts, he found that the two wild boars that he had released into the mountains had gone. Now there are no more than two, but two big, five and seven very fat wild boars.

When they were spotted, the guys were eating something at the foot of the mountain with their long beaks. And what caught Wang Yong's attention was this strange thing that was arched out by a wild boar.

So what is it?

Wang Yong is no stranger to this thing, because it is very common in many places in the local area. Especially when he was a child, almost every household in this generation planted this thing.

It is large and small, long and short, thick and thin. The skin is red or yellow, and many of them are arched from underneath by wild boars. On the surface, there are clusters of seedlings that have been frozen and blackened, so they can no longer see their original appearance.

If Wang Yong hadn't recognized the thing that had been arched out of the ground by a wild boar, he really wouldn't have been able to immediately recognize what this thing was just by virtue of these seedlings that had been arched and messed up.

So what exactly is this? Why did it attract Wang Yong's attention? That's a good thing, especially for a lot of people in the city.

The answer is simple, it is a sweet potato, and the northerners are more accustomed to calling it sweet potato, sweet potato or sweet potato, while the locals are more accustomed to calling it white potato.

Originally, the locally grown sweet potato was a variety of white potato with white skin and white pulp specifically for the production of starch, so everyone used to call it white potato. After that, I slowly got used to it. For other varieties of sweet potatoes, it is also customary to become white potatoes.

Of course, you have to be hypocritical to say that there are also red ones? Why isn't it called a sweet potato? Then the locals will definitely be unhappy to tell you that there is still a yellow one? So what?

The red one is called a red white potato! The yellow potato is called the yellow potato, no matter what color it is, it is called the white potato, what's wrong?

In fact, everyone is used to it, and there is no fuss. This situation is too common, mainly because the territory of China is too vast, the transportation was inconvenient in the past, and the communication was not developed, so it was not so easy for people to communicate now.

So, ten miles different sounds. It can be said that there are many uncommon situations in three miles. It's just a name, although the name seems to be too different, but it's really too common, and there is no need to be harsh at all.

I don't know who planted sweet potatoes in this kind of place so strangely? I thought about it for a moment. Wang Yong was sure that this was not done by adults, and there was no such thing as an adult going to the trouble of planting white potatoes in the valley, right?

It's too much work, and you have to climb over one back and forth, although it is not high or steep. But it is not easy to climb over the mountains, and there is no water in the valley, so the terrain is not good. When it rains, it is waterlogged, and if it doesn't rain, there is a drought, and in such a place, crops can't grow.

This valley is not affected by the hot springs in the village, after all, such a big mountain is in front of it, and the heat transmitted here, the effect is almost gone.

Now the weather is a few days before the beginning of winter, out of the middle of the mountain village, the coldest temperature has dropped to three or four degrees Cheng dù. Even in the middle of the day, the temperature is as high as twelve or thirteen degrees.

With such low temperatures, almost all crops in the north have stopped growing. If you don't dig it out in time, as long as you stay in the ground, except for a part of the wild boar that has been arched out of the surface, it won't be long before you freeze and rot.

Heaven and not to take it seems to be a sin? Wang Yong looked at the white potatoes that were arched out by the wild boar, and his heart was itching.

This white potato is put in the sun to dry for a while, and after it is wilted, it is put into the pot and steamed (synonymous with steaming) to eat, that sweet! That's soft! Absolutely make you can't stop eating, watching others eat, that saliva can't stop!

At least Wang Yong has seen people eating boiled sweet potatoes more than once, so he couldn't help the saliva secretion in his mouth accelerated, and kept holding back his cravings, and it didn't take long for the corners of his mouth to feel saliva coming out.

But after eating too much, I gradually didn't like this thing so much. But it's still good to eat fresh once in a while. Especially his daughter-in-law, I guess she will have a lot of love for this thing, right?

Anyway, this thing must have been the good thing that the gluttonous kid did. Maybe it's Wang Meng's kid, this kid is also a master who loves white potatoes.

However, now many villagers are too troublesome to harvest because of the cultivation and field management of white potatoes, and the final profit is not high compared to the investment, so the white potatoes have almost disappeared in the nearby villages.

Now you have to go out to work and stop farming. Either it is to plant grapes or other fruit trees, vegetables and other high-value things, and at the worst it is to plant corn that saves time and effort, so it is not easy for people in the village to eat sweet potatoes now.

I don't know where Wang Meng's bear child got the white potato seedlings from, but it's not old or young when it looks like it's planted. But this time, I'm cheapening myself for nothing. (To be continued......)
