Chapter 7 Into the Mountains and Digging Trees

Chapter 7 Digging Trees in the Mountains

Seeing that it was still early, Li Feng searched for a few fruit trees in his heart and planted them in the space, and there was still a lot of open space around the thatched hut. The peach trees in the yard are planted, these are not in a hurry, build a house by themselves, and their own peach forest is less to say that they will get rid of more than ten peach trees, and they just move into the space three or two trees, and no one should pay attention. It is said that there are more peach than plums, Li Feng's family does not have many plum trees, only a few on the periphery of the peach orchard, this time the groundbreaking, these plum trees do not occupy space, and there is no way to move into the space. The plum tree in the space can only be found by himself, fortunately, the mountains and forests are very large, all kinds of fruit trees are available, this time Li Feng thought about looking for plum trees, hickory trees, pomegranate trees, and finally looking for a toon tree, then every year there are toon leaves to eat, tender and tender fragrant leaves, mixed with garlic paste, aged vinegar, plus red pepper oil, and point their own small grinding sesame oil, beautiful.

Peach blossoms love water, plum trees love mountains, looking for peach trees along the stream, but looking for plum trees, you may have to continue to walk the mountain road, the mountain road is difficult to walk, especially the panic for many years on the mountain road, take a step to stop a step, no way, the mountain saplings can grow a meter high in a year or two, especially the jujube tree, there are many saplings, the small spikes on it, but it is annoying, at first Li Feng also dug a jujube tree and put it into the space, but did not take a few steps, the jujube tree on the side of the road beckoned again, pulling his pants, it was really enthusiastic. While avoiding these branches, Li Feng looked for the tree species he thought of, not to mention, within ten minutes, a pomegranate tree two or three meters high, with dense branches and faint small flower bones, appeared in Li Feng's eyes.

The pomegranate fruit of the pomegranate tree has a unique appearance, with 100 seeds in the skin, the seeds are crystalline, sweet and sour, and nutritious. The most important village believes that pomegranates have many seeds, which means beautiful, and each yard in Lijiagang will be planted with three or two trees. In summer, the pomegranate trees in each yard are full of flowers, bright as clouds, red flowers like fire, extraordinarily bright, it can be said to be edible and ornamental. When I was a child, Li Feng and Li Ming didn't steal these things, they were not familiar with the family, but adults were not, but fortunately, the pomegranate tree grew on the edge of the yard, hiding outside the courtyard wall, and a few could be stolen at will.

Remembering that again, Li Feng was caught, and he was stunned to say that he didn't steal it, but it was a pity that when people pulled Li Feng's little hand behind his back, he was caught right with a black eye, which is also the place where a group of children don't like pomegranates the most. It's not easy to sell stolen goods, take a look, and know that this baby has eaten pomegranates, mulberries look at the mouth and tongue, pomegranates look at the palms, and definitely look at a quasi.

Now it is rare to see a pomegranate that has blossomed and fruited, the pomegranate tree will only bloom and bear fruit for at least three years, and now is really a good time for transplantation, Li Feng will not be polite, and carefully go out little by little, the roots of the tree become lime soil, as if waiting for a newborn baby. It took about twenty minutes, Li Feng finally dug out the pomegranate tree, thought about it, and turned around and entered the space, he didn't dare to be as casual as before, there was a little naughty in it, but he was a good hand at scourging things. Entering the space, watching the little fat boy wag his tail and run to greet him, Li Feng still has a sense of pride in his heart, it is not bad to have a puppy, at least come back and go out with a companion.

"This is?." Li Feng just wanted to wave his hand to let the little guy go, but he didn't want to see the puppy's round belly, he was stunned, looked left and right, did he eat the fish and shrimp in the spring water, no, he remembered that he had never seen the crucian carp thrown on the ground. picked up the fat boy, touched the meat and the little belly, poof, and sprayed a mouthful of saliva on Li Feng's face.

"I'll go." Looking at the fat boy's innocent eyes, Li Feng wiped his face depressedly, put down the little fat boy, and finally knew, this guy can only eat liquid food at this time, and he didn't see that he drank a stomach of spring water, really, he went into the hut and took a towel to wipe his face. Thinking about burying the pomegranate tree quickly, time is running out, and I haven't searched for half of it yet.

Li Feng teased, no, it should be the fat boy harassing Li Feng, and it took more than ten minutes for this pomegranate tree to really settle here. After patting the soil on his hands, filling half a bucket of spring water, and watering it, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and there was finally a sense of anger in the space.

The fish swim around in the spring, the lotus leaves come out in a few days, it is even more beautiful, the pomegranate tree, and the flower seeds planted yesterday, or a few days, this empty space can change its appearance, watching the fat boy chase the stone chicken, full of fun, faint satisfaction such as a clear spring flowing in the heart.

Come out again, continue to walk forward, a lot of game along the way, of course, in Li Feng's eyes, birds, hares, pheasants, swans are all delicious food, the tender green wild vegetables on the side of the road, amaranth, wild celery, wild garlic, bracken of course have to be counted, but unfortunately Li Feng doesn't have time to dig some back, as for turtle doves and owls, how can I beat a few to try the taste has changed? I haven't eaten swan meat for more than ten years, and I really miss it, but it's a pity that I've heard about it now. When I was a child, the red-crowned crane, the wild goose, the taste seems to be good, I don't know if there is now, with the help of wild ducks, whether it is Zhen's tail, big flower face, green wings, red-headed text, these Li Feng not to mention eating all the wild ducks. Chickens, water hyacinths, and even kingfishers, Li Feng also tasted them when he was a child, but unfortunately the time was too long, and he couldn't remember it clearly.

While trying to reminisce, he walked into the mountains, and the time passed slowly, and Li Feng dug up another pomegranate tree, a pear tree, a plum tree, and the pecans were not found.

patted the sleeves of his mud-stained clothes, Li Feng threw them into the space with a shovel, and took out the little fat boy who was reluctant to come out. Pick up the pace, not far ahead, like a mirror, hanging overhead. Lijialing Reservoir, speaking of this reservoir is a big origin, in the sixties, Fengshan County responded to the call of the country, built, at that time the number of migrant workers in today's view is absolutely smacking, nearly 10,000 people, eat and live together, it took three years to build nearly 20 meters high, more than 10 meters wide, bluestone accumulation, poured cement, the dam is nearly 50 meters long, like a giant standing here, weathered for a long time, looking at some gray cement, the mountain stone has exposed a corner, the distant water viewing platform has been written on the dangerous house, Hundreds of bluestone slabs are paved with steps, and they are still unmoving.

Standing on the dam, looking from afar, the calves and stomachs of the timid people are going to tremble, Li Feng began, his heart was also pounding, looking at the reservoir of nearly 1,000 acres, you can imagine how spectacular the construction was at that time, you must know that there is no machinery, bluestone raw materials are taken locally, but reinforced cement sand, that is a little bit of back up the mountain, Li Shan once recalled, the scene at that time, densely packed with men, shirtless no one carried a bamboo basket, or a bag of cement, or a bag of sand. Steel bars, using ox carts and carriages, I heard that on the day of completion, more than 100 cattle and horses died of exhaustion. At the end of the stairs, a stone tablet records the era of burning passion, and that man will conquer the heavens.

From afar, the reservoir is sparkling, the wide water surface is hovering with white, colorful water birds, the green hills in the distance are dotted, and the rivers upstream of the reservoir are like dragons tactfully hidden between the mountains, breathing fresh air. The golden sunlight, spreading, with faint ripples, rippling in the breeze, the little fat boy seemed to be shocked by the gold in front of him, squatting beside Li Feng, quietly.

"Hehe, reservoir, although the function of the past and the present is now light, but the glory of the past and the present is still fascinating. Green mountains with green water, good horses with good saddles, with water, with stone dams, can be called perfect. ”

It's a pity that the east of the river flows into the river, and it is no longer as important as it used to be, although the city and the province have taken some protective measures to prevent fish farming and fishing, but unfortunately the erosion of the years has left traces of spots, and the cement has cracked, maybe it will not cause any harm to the dam.

The children in the village no longer come here to play, and the mountains slowly sealed its path, and Li Feng didn't know if the adults had told his children the story of the past and present here.

Li Feng has no ability or idea, to save this declining reservoir, things are important to live and die, although it is inevitable that the emotions are sour, but the truth should be like this.

With a stunned fat boy, Li Feng walked down the steps and looked up at the reservoir, the tall old man couldn't escape the day when he fell, and the meaning of life also applied to such a great building.

On the way back, Li Feng, who wanted to drive, teased the fat boy while looking for traces of the beast. Wait for the winter snow to fall, then go into the mountains, bare-assed into the snowdrift pheasant, panicked hare, or jumping deer, roe deer, cute chirping squirrels.

"Huh" don't say, after walking most of the way, seeing that it was more than five o'clock, Li Feng couldn't help but speed up his pace, and his mind didn't care too much about looking for small animals, this time his stomach was already growling, he was not a fat boy, and he drank spring water openly. I didn't expect that I wouldn't look for it, but it appeared, it was really iron, and it didn't take much effort to get it. On the road in front of him, a small green snake tightly wrapped around a half-tied squirrel cub, the little guy is not big, but the small sample is ruthless enough, and the mouth is tightly biting the belly of the little snake. The two of them wanted to die together, Li Feng looked strange, and threw it in with a hand, space. Maybe the two little guys were frightened by the sudden change in space and let go at the same time.

The little snake was coiled in a circle, spitting pink letters, little squirrels, lying on their stomachs, looking at the children who had suffered a lot of injuries. Li Feng looked at it, there was no way, he was not a doctor, but fortunately, after a while, the squirrel reacted. It seems that he was holding his breath, poured a sip of spring water, and the little guy finally refreshed himself, and the fat boy on the side watched Li Feng feed the little squirrel spring water, stopped drying, grinned his teeth, and roared, letting Li Feng knock his head on the head, and the aggrieved little fat boy held the little tail between his legs, and looked at Li Feng with water in his eyes. This is a guy who will invite pets, no way, rubbed this guy's head, looked at the fat boy in his palm with his tail wagged, and secretly scolded whether this guy is the reincarnation of Heshen, and he will pat himself a lot. Compared with this, look at the little snake and little squirrel you saved, one by one, you are on guard, forget it, I don't care about you.

Li Feng returned to the peach forest, looked at Li Shan, Zhang Lan was transplanting the peach tree, and was a little puzzled.

"Mom and Dad, didn't you tell the third uncle? Let them come and help move the peach tree. Li Feng asked softly, looking at his father who was already able to flow with some heartache, and seeing that his mother was also sweating profusely, but his heart was distressed.

"Hehe, what's that trouble to do, you have to know that you can save a little money a day, you can save a little, your mother and I are not old and can't move. We can do this work. Li Shan rarely showed a smiling face, in Li Feng's memory, his father was a strict father who did not smile. But when I came back this time, I found that my father's feelings in my heart were actually more delicate and silent than my mother's.

"Dad, I'll help you." Li Feng didn't say anything, what is there to say, the family, under the red rendering of the sunset, the peach blossoms are more beautiful.
