Chapter 112

I think I was the first person to hear the sound of bangs in the snow.

In today's cities, there are very few people who can hear the sound of bangzi. But in some not-so-modern villages, especially in mountain villages, the sound of bangzi represents peace, the tranquility of the night, and mutual help.

I was a little confused?

The maps in our hands are quite accurate, and even a Jihu River in the dense forest is accurately marked, but I don't see any mountain villages nearby on the map.

I drew the dagger from my waist and struck the spear vigorously, hoping that the sound of the metal striking would penetrate the wind and snow and reach the ears of the man who struck the hammer.

The sound of bangzi was getting closer and closer, and when four snowmen wrapped in coats came out of the white snowstorm, all the brothers almost shouted in surprise.

The snowman with a stick in his hand slowly came to us, and opened his mouth to say a pure Northeast dialect, what is going on? What are you doing in our logging area in the middle of the night?

The other three snowmen all came to us, their axes shining brightly under the light of the tactical flashlight, but their eyes were full of curiosity, and there was no sign of hostility towards us.

The officer brother who led the team looked at the dress on the snowman with the bang, and then looked at the axes in the hands of the other three people and said that we are from the army, and today is a field training, but I didn't expect to encounter a heavy snowstorm, are you workers in this logging area?

And the man with the strapper laughed.

Is that what it's like to make trouble for a long time? I said, how can I vaguely watch the fireworks floating in the sky? It's a signal flare that you hit for a long time!

Come on, let's not say anything, hurry up and take the brothers up to our shack to warm up. In this snowy weather, stay up all night in the open field and not freeze to death a deflated calf?

We followed the lumberjack with the stick in his hand into the darkness, while the other three lumberjacks with axes were eager to carry some backpacks and other things for us.

In the wind and snow, everyone almost had to shout at the top of their voices, and they couldn't hear clearly. So the big guy didn't say much, just followed one by one and walked forward.

After walking for five minutes at most, the smell of pine that is unique to burning firewood can already be heard in the wind and snow. The leading lumberjack turned around and shouted, "Brothers, hurry up under your feet, and walk for two minutes, and you will be in our hut!"

Truth be told, if we hadn't met the few lumberjacks who had gone out to observe, we wouldn't have been able to find the entrance to the lumberjack's hut, even if we had walked in front of it.

The lumberjacks' hut was a terrain-based hut with a rectangular roof made of thick logs on the sunken ground, and three or five chimneys with sticky caps erected, which was a good place to withstand the wind and snow.

But in the snowstorm, the snow has completely covered the shack made of logs. Even beside the steaming chimney, the mushroom-like snow covers most of the chimney, and there is no trace of man-made construction at all.

Speaking of which, the secret camp built by the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation in the mountains and forests back then was able to escape the repeated searches of the little devils, and I am afraid it is not unrelated to this construction method adapted to local conditions and the cover of heavy snow, right?

The lumberjack with the stick in his hand walked along a ditch where no trace was visible, picked up the stick in his hand and struck a wooden door hidden by heavy snow, and shouted vigorously to open the door! Damn, take advantage of Lao Tzu to go out, you boys, don't make all the freshly beaten roe deer meat!

The thick wooden door opened suddenly, and with the light projected by the door, a man with five big and three thick men obviously didn't expect so many uninvited guests to arrive, and was stunned for a moment before shouting with a big grin.

There are not many people in this old forest, especially when it snows heavily, and there is not a single ghost to be seen. I said, Old Xue, where did you find so many mountain spirits and tree monsters......

The lumberjack called Lao Xue pushed away the strong man who was blocking the door, and while stretching out his hand to signal us to hurry into the shack, he shouted, "What nonsense are you talking nonsense?" This is the man who trained in the old forest in the army, and he happened to encounter this heavy snowstorm before he went to our shack to rest and drink hot tea.

If this is usual, if you invite someone to come, they may not be waiting to see you! I said guys, come in quickly, this fucking snow, it's a big evil deed!

One by one, the brothers dodged into the half-hidden shack.

Speaking of which, I am also a person who has been in the ice and snow of Xinjiang for a long time, and I have always thought that the flat-roofed houses in Xinjiang are really wind-resistant and cold-proof treasures in winter.

But the shacks built by the gentlemen in the Northeast with logs in the old forest really opened my eyes!

The huge original base was built one by one to form the main body of the house, and the cooked stucco was carefully smeared in the gaps between the logs, blocking the cold wind outside the house, and at the same time preserving the heating inside the house.

The gently sloping roof is made of pine bark of the same size tree trunk, covered by thick snow and smoked by the heating inside the house, and the slightest moisture swirls in the house, just enough to make people feel warm in their nasal cavities, and they will not feel hot at all.

On top of the big fire pond was a hanging jar the size of a basin, and I don't know what good things were being stewed inside, and the rich aroma of food seemed to have eyes, and it was drilling into the noses and eyes of our brothers.

Fluttering the snowflakes on his body, Lao Xue really didn't treat us as outsiders at all, and just shouted vigorously and said Gentlemen, hurry up and clean the snowflakes on your body, don't let the snow soak into your clothes and hurt your body and bones.

Ma artillery, don't look at it like a stupid roe deer. Hurry up and brew the hot tea and tell you to warm up! Hell, you can't pull out the barrel of someone's gun, can you? The roe deer meat on the fire is almost ready for the fire, sprinkle the salt and quickly put the noodles and sauerkraut, the gentlemen have been walking in the forest for a day, and they should have been hungry!

The lumberjacks who were in the room laughed, and then they were busy bringing us the hot tea in a variety of different jars. And the roe deer meat on the fire pit was also added with wide vermicelli and Northeast sauerkraut, and the soup that was tumbling like waves was wrapped in sauerkraut vermicelli and turned, hooking us up and swallowing our saliva for a while......

It didn't take much effort, and the hanging jar the size of a basin was removed from the fire. Lao Xue took down a huge spoon from the wall, looked at us with round eyes, and said, "Why are you still standing stupidly?" Hurry up and take out your rice bowl and put it on it, let's shake off our cheeks and make it!

More than 30 brothers squeezed in the shack about 30 meters long at once still seemed spacious, when all the brothers were holding a lunch box of roe deer meat stewed sauerkraut vermicelli and chewed, the whole shack was filled with the fragrance of food, echoing the sound of gobbling up.

Lao Xue grabbed the big spoon and laughed and said, "Everyone, you guys, you are so happy!"

This old forest is getting smaller and smaller, and the common roe deer wild goods in previous years are also uncommon. This stupid roe deer should be given a tooth sacrifice to the gentlemen, and he came to the door of the shack early in the morning, and it is a good meat delivered to the door......

None of the brothers took care of Lao Xue, at most they nodded and shook their heads, and they were all busy struggling with the roe deer meat stewed sauerkraut vermicelli in their rice bowls.

The feeling of hunger, especially the feeling of hunger and cold, I am sure few people have experienced it in this year. But for our brothers, who often practice survival in the wild, this feeling is commonplace.

So in the situation of extreme hunger, I suddenly bumped into a pot of delicious food, who still has the kung fu to pay attention to a polite Sven, it is eager to tear open the cheeks and pour delicious food into the stomach......

The lumberjack called Ma Cannon also laughed and said Lao Xue, what are you bluffing? How can people take care of you at this moment? It can be regarded as God's eyes, knowing that your Lao Xue has been aggrieved this year and hasn't caught anything for a year, so I'll send you a roe deer to make up for it!

Aggrieved?

Hearing Ma Pao say this, several brothers put down the rice bowls in their hands, and their eyes were fixed on Lao Xue.

Although it has only been a while since I met Lao Xue, it seems from Lao Xue's posture that Lao Xue should be a bold and open-minded man?

Even he feels aggrieved? How much of a grievance must have been suffered?

It is estimated that the doubts on the faces of the brothers are more obvious, and Lao Xue, who is heading towards the food in his rice bowl, smiled and said that don't stop, don't stop, just make it hard, and be full! Don't listen to the nonsense of that kid from the horse artillery, it's not worth a big fart, and it can become a second kick in that kid's mouth!

Ma Pao's face obviously showed an unconvinced look, and he straightened his neck and shouted that he was aggrieved! Your old Xue has stayed in the old forest to watch the logging yard for seven consecutive years, and has been a model worker for seven consecutive years, according to the rules, you should be transferred back to the forest farm area to sit in the office this year!

Why is that new kid stealing your seat? Isn't it just because their sister is the director of the forest farm, so she can't enter the second room of the house? He knows which year's pine can make furniture, and which year's pine can only be used as firewood? Does he know whether to go with the flow or to lean on the mountain? He......

The big spoon in Lao Xue's hand struck the hanging can, like a crisp sound like a golden luo!

The horse cannon drooped his head, put a cigarette in his mouth, and smoked it. The other lumberjacks lowered their heads and smoked in silence.

The air in the hut suddenly fell silent......

Lao Xue also put down the rice bowl in his hand, sat on the wooden pier by the wall, and said in a muffled voice that I know that several gentlemen are upset for me.

But guys, think about it, does my old Xue care about the person who is a model worker? A model worker, isn't it a bonus of a few hundred yuan for a certificate? Buy salt, don't salt, don't get drunk, what are we doing?

Beat the little father and mother led Lao Xue and me to farm, and my father and mother taught me not to mess with the land, or the land can be fooled with people. Lao Xue remembered this, so Lao Xue didn't mess with people when he worked, let alone messed with his conscience, so Lao Xue's bonus has always been high, so Lao Xue and I took the salary and bonus, and my heart was peaceful.

In a person's life, some people seek fame and some seek profit, which is not wrong! can be famous and profitable, but also pay attention to a conscience and treat others kindly! The fame and fortune sought in this way can only be obtained in peace, and only when you use it can you feel at ease!

Isn't it just a broken chair in a broken office? My old Xue doesn't feel sorry when he sits, but that kid doesn't burn his ass when he sits? God's eyes are open to watch!

Besides, in the office, can you have fresh roe deer meat stewed with sauerkraut vermicelli and noodles to eat? Can you have fresh mushrooms and stewed pheasants from the old forest? Can there be a big toad smoke to smoke? Can there be a group of gentlemen holding a big bowl of wine and scolding their mother's comfort?

Damn, this kid called Ma Cannon flickered, and the big guys were all frustrated! I said don't stop, gentlemen, it's hard to build, it's full! Ma Pao, where is the half of the jar of wine that your boy hid? Take it out, it looks like it's about to pass New Year's Day, and there are guests again, let's also take a few sips in advance, festive!

The horse cannon was moved out of the kang and half a jar of wine was placed on the side of the fire to be warmed, and as the aroma of the wine slowly overflowed, the atmosphere in the shack became lively again......

I held a rice bowl of roe deer meat stewed with sauerkraut vermicelli and looked at Lao Xue who was drinking in a big bowl, and looked at the frank expression on Lao Xue's face.

In this life, no one can be separated from the word fame and fortune.

There are not many people in this world who really don't care about fame and fortune, at least I haven't seen a few.

They are all laymen, they all have food and housing, they all have to support their families, and they all want to live a relaxed life.

But for the sake of these things, you have to move some crooked thoughts, thinking of evil methods, can you really enjoy the fame and fortune obtained in that way?

People who can move their minds to compete for fame and fortune are afraid that they will not be so comfortable in life, right?

And the things I did the other day are really ......

I felt a fever on my face, my teeth creaked, and I wanted to slap myself in the mouth!

Look at Lao Xue, and then look at the thing I did!

Shame on you......

I think I will remember that snowy night for the rest of my life, as well as those bold lumberjack buddies in the old forests of the Northeast, especially the old Xue who lived happily and worked hard to earn money.

There is also a big pot of fragrant and hot sauerkraut roe deer meat stewed vermicelli, holding a big bowl and pulling a bowl of belly, which can not only get rid of the cold, but also make people's hearts and lungs feel a kind of hot warmth.

That is, with this hot warm feeling, those unsightly selfish thoughts disappeared with the bone-chilling air......
