"Li Zheng, Chu Ying, this child doesn't know, don't be too embarrassed for her, the child is still young, such a big scene frightens her." Wang Qiyuan knelt next to Chu Ying and shouted loudly, or he couldn't cover up the noise of others.

"I understand the matter, and this kid doesn't know either, so let's pay for it or plant trees. Everyone, don't shout, scare this kid out of silly. Li Zheng helped Chu Ying, who was kneeling on the ground a little dazed, up, "Don't cut down trees in the future, it's not good to alarm the mountain god, and then the mountain god will be angry and will harm the villagers." ”

"Hmm." Although Chu Ying didn't have any expression on his face, his hands were trembling slightly. Chu Ying looked at these villagers, who were usually very friendly, as soon as they encountered the matter of cutting down trees, they were extremely vicious, and they seemed to tear themselves up and eat them.

Even if Chu Ying was already halfway home, she didn't say a word. "Don't be obedient to them, a few years ago, some officials wanted to build ancestral halls and cut down all the trees on the mountain, although the villagers who cut down the trees made a lot of money, but then it rained heavily for several days, and the mountain god was angry and washed away several families along the river, and many people died."

"It's okay to go to the foot of the mountain to cut some bamboo or branches, pick up some firewood, but you can't cut down trees, a tree takes several years to grow, these are all planted by the villagers in the mountains before, and they have to be planted every year, as many people in the family as there are as many trees as they want, I planted them for you before, I want you to go and it's troublesome, you are weak, it's not good for me."

"No, I didn't ask first." Although Chu Ying knew the strictness of soil erosion, and knew that this thing was indeed wrong, Chu Ying just felt very uncomfortable with something blocked in her heart.

"Fortunately, the tree you cut down is not very big, but the fine is 80 Wen, or plant 8 trees, and I will help you plant it when the time comes." Chu Ying nodded and put it on the shoulder of Wang Yuyuan, who was carrying him.

Leaning his head on Wang Yuyuan's shoulder, his heart was extremely depressed, and tears flowed down uncontrollably, he understood those truths, but he was wronged.

Wang Jiyuan felt that his shoulders were a little wet, so he walked slowly, poor man, he can hurt you as long as he wants, Wang Jiyuan wishes that time will stop, looking at the colorful sunset, feeling the wind blowing slowly, I want to carry you on my back like this.

When Chu Ying came home, she remembered that her axe was still in the woods. "Brother Wang, I'm going to get my stone axe."

"The stone axe is at home, and I asked someone to bring it back for you before. Rest well, there's no rush to do this. Wait until I buy the saplings and go with you. ”

"Okay, the money will be given to you when the time comes, thank you for your hard work." Wang Qiyuan saw Chu Ying's absent-minded appearance, so he left early and left her alone.

Chu Ying complained for a while, then picked up the stone axe and went to the woods behind, picked a few chestnut trees of the right size and cut them, the pine and sumac trees couldn't bear to cut them themselves, these smaller chestnut trees would take a few years to grow chestnuts, and the other chestnut trees were enough to pick them by themselves.

Chu Ying piled up the cut trees in the yard, and when Uncle Qi came to help tomorrow, he hastily ate some chestnut pancakes Chu Ying was lazy on the bed, and he was really unlucky today.

On the second day, Chu Ying got up early, waited for Uncle Qi at the door after breakfast, and when Uncle Qi arrived, he explained to him what to do, "Actually, you don't need to add eaves, if you are afraid that these adobe bricks will get wet, just brush the mud outside, your bricks are quite strong, it's okay." ”

"I want to make the walls thicker, so the current eaves are a bit insufficient, so let's add them."

"Okay, then I'll do it." Chu Ying helped Uncle Qi take out the tools, and then put his hands down. watched Uncle Qi skillfully use the mortise and tenon structure to lengthen it on the eaves.

It is no wonder that mortise and tenon joints are not often used in modern furniture, because mortise and tenon joints are to be made by hand, and it is really impossible to do it in a few years, and only mahogany furniture with relatively high profits can afford such manpower.

When the eaves were ready, Chu Ying took half a penny of silver and gave it to Uncle Qi, "Do you want to build this wall yourself?" "Uncle Qi saw that Chu Ying didn't invite a mason, so he probably had to build the wall himself.

"Well, I'm fine anyway, just get it yourself, and it shouldn't be too difficult to have a wooden wall."

"When building the wall, try to tilt it a little bit on the side of the wooden wall and it won't fall, so I'll go first." Chu Ying is not in a hurry to build this wall, she has to plant the tree that was punished last time first, otherwise she will feel that she will be watched when she goes out.

When I ran to Wang Qiyuan's house, I saw a row of trees at the door, and there was a lot of soil under the roots of the trees, which was still relatively wet. "You're here. This tree has been bought, let's go. ”

"Cherry girl, wait, Yuanyuan, remember to take a detour and go for a walk in the fields. Let everyone else see it. ”

"Okay." Chu Ying felt that what Aunt Wang said was very right, Jiang was still old and spicy. After taking a big detour with Wang Jiyuan and letting everyone in the village see it, Wang Jiyuan went to the mountain.

"Plant the empty place, don't plant it on the road, I'll dig this hole, I'll fill the soil, but you have to put it down, so that the mountain god also knows your sincerity." Although Chu Ying knew that this was a bit superstitious, she still nodded, sometimes some beliefs would be better, at least she would respect and revere nature, and would not blindly ask for it.

"Are these planted every year? I can't grow that much. "There aren't a lot of villagers in the village, and there are already dense woods here.

"Before, those wealthy businessmen and officials cut down a large number of trees, so most of these trees were planted by them, after all, they caused the villagers to suffer." This is also reasonable, Chu Ying put the sapling in the hole, used her feet to pull the soil in, and then stepped on it.

After finishing it, Chu Ying carried some firewood back, "Brother Wang, do you go to school?" ”

"I went to school for a while when I was a kid, but then I didn't go, what's wrong?" Wang Jiyuan put the hoe on his shoulder and dusted off his legs.

"Nothing." In this era, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and Chu Ying does not plan to tell Wang Jiyuan that she wants to learn to write.

When she returned home, Chu Ying dug a 2-step wide and 3-step long pool in the yard, then stepped on the pool, and then took out the fragments of the clay pot that could not be used before, and knocked them into the soil with a stone axe piece by piece, so that the surface was relatively smooth and free of soil, and then poured water into it, peeled off the bark of the firewood, and cut the firewood into pieces and put them in the pool.

Chu Ying shoveled some grass ash and put it in, and put the wood in the pool, some of the previous straw paper was used up, and there was not much left, so it was time to make some more. And Chu Ying thought about whether she could make the paper thick and use it for writing, and the pine ash could be used to make ink, and she didn't know how to do it, but it was good to explore slowly.

After everything was done, Chu Ying began to stir the adhesive, which was used to build the wall, stirred the soil with the burned porridge, and added some plant ash, looking at it really couldn't bear to look at it, and he didn't know how to get it, so he tried to control the ratio of plant ash and soil to 3 to 1. Try some first.
