Ang Lee looked at these happy children, and suddenly evoked childhood memories in another era, in that ordinary small village that could no longer be ordinary, Ang Lee had too many memories.

The memory of tree felling is more profound, and every winter, there will always be families in the small village who want to cut down trees, and this is the case every year, and no year is accidental.

And the purpose of cutting down trees is nothing more than to build a house, beat furniture, make farm tool handles, or sell them directly for money, or what other uses, Ang Lee can't remember anyway.

In that era when the economy was not developed enough, the countryside could not do without trees, and every house would plant some trees in front of and behind the house, and after a few years of growth, the trees would be cut down and turned into furniture in their own homes.

In Ang Lee's memory, he had several tree felling experiences in his family, poplar trees, big willow trees, and locust trees, and nothing else.

After cutting down the tree, the uncle would transport the trunk to the market in a flat cart, and for a little manual money, the sawmill would help to sawn the cylindrical trunk into thin rectangular planks.

After these long planks are brought back, they can be used as roof panels for the house, or they can also be used to make furniture, of course, you have to hire a carpenter, or you have someone in your own family who can carpenter.

The house where Ang Lee lived when he was a child, the thin wooden planks that could be seen directly above his head were the materials made from the family's logging.

In the same way, the desk, all the beds, basin stands, large tables, small tables, benches, bars and other furniture at home are made of the trees in your home.

Although these furniture are very ordinary, and even a little ugly, there are many defects, but they are more practical and functional, and the only drawback is that they are too ugly.

With the development of the times, after Ang Lee left his hometown, all the furniture used became modular furniture, the quality was much better than that of his hometown, and it looked very tall, but Ang Lee somehow suddenly began to miss the tattered furniture of his childhood, because although these furniture are not good, they are all made of the trees of his own home, and all the furniture is full of feelings, and he can definitely rest assured.

What is the composite material of modular furniture, where does the wood come from, these are not known, once a villager said, a lot of modular furniture wood is made of coffin wood scooped out of the soil, not clean.

Since there is this saying, in order to rest assured, the people in the village have used their own wood and invited skilled carpenters to create modular furniture, which has led to some craftsmen who specialize in creating modular furniture.

It is most reassuring to grow the trees yourself and watch the carpenters make them into furniture, but this is what the adults think, and it has nothing to do with the children.

Every year, whenever a family wants to cut down a tree, the children of the whole village will gather and watch with interest as the adults cut down the trees, and even run close despite the danger.

In such cases, the adults will always unceremoniously reprimand, or even shout scolding, to make these onlookers roll away to prevent the trees from falling suddenly and injuring the children.

Children are always thick-skinned, and no matter how ugly the adults' words are, they always smile and chase around the neighborhood, not caring about the danger that may arise at any time.

Ang Lee's face is the thinnest, never too close to the trees to be felled, always honestly stay in the distance to observe, patiently waiting for the moment when the trees fall down.

As long as the trees fall down, the children will rush to play, pick the parts they are interested in, as long as they do not destroy the thickest trunks, the owner will not care about the branches thinner than the arm, just give them to the children to play.

If they are in a hurry, the owner will drive the children away and tell them to get out, and as long as they are not in a hurry, they will let the tree cutters take a good rest first, and then cut down the side branches on the main trunk, get the main trunk out, and transport it home for storage.

There are many kinds of trees cut down, among them, there are more poplar trees, willows and locust trees, and the children are most interested in willows, because the side branches of willows are always crooked, in addition to the main trunk has the qualification to build furniture, the side branches are almost all the goods at the bottom of the pot, after the owner saws the main trunk with a hacksaw, the remaining part is often put in place and not used, and the remaining part is also a large volume, many children who can't climb the tree, will climb on the side branches, grab the tall branches, and keep moving under their feet, Feel the thrill of shaking and hope to get other kids down.

When Ang Lee was too young, when he was playing on the willow tree, he would always be shaken off by the older children, and even his face would be cut, and when he grew older, he would shake off other children, causing the adults to come to the door to settle accounts, and then he would inevitably be scolded.

These good memories are really interesting, and it's still a very happy thing to think about when you're fine.

After the villagers put down the first tree, they did not rush to clean up the side branches, but went to cut down the next tree, which is the most efficient and not easy to cause nest work.

For example, in a group of five people, five trees are cut down first, and then, each of the five people is responsible for the side branch treatment of one tree, so that the efficiency of labor can be maximized.

Even if it is a large logging company, it is not possible to cut down a single tree and clean it up, but to cut down many trees in a row, and finally clean up the side branches.

"These stinky boys climbed up the tree, but they really didn't worry at all."

The subordinates shook their heads helplessly when they saw the children climb up the fallen tree trunks.

Li An nodded and said, "This official bets that you will soon be able to hear the child's cry, believe it or not." ”

As soon as the words fell, a child who was only four or five years old fell from a height, crying non-stop, this so-called height is less than two meters, how high can the fallen side branches be, however, the fall from a height of two meters is not light, and the pain will naturally not be fake.

"Hahahaha! There are really children crying, Li Shilang is really a god. ”

The subordinate complimented excitedly.

Li An raised his eyes and saw that an adult villager walked over, pulled the crying child up three or two times, and saw that the child's injury was not serious, so he scolded a few words angrily, and then, with a kick on the buttocks, the child naturally cried louder.

The rest of the children were not affected in the slightest, and they still stood on the side branches and kept shaking the branches, making the whole tree rustle.

Ang Lee looked a little greedy, and wanted to play it in person and reminisce about the fun of childhood, but this is imagining it in his mind, if he really played this, he would be laughed at, how could an adult be bored enough to run and shake the branches, unless it was a pervert like an old naughty boy.

What is the quality of the big tree lying down, Li An can't say accurately, there are too many types of trees in this world, Li An can't know them all, and it's normal to encounter trees he doesn't know, but at first glance, it is a high-quality tree, which is completely enough to make arrow towers, and even a little wasteful.

However, Datang is not short of money now, so it is completely feasible to use good wood, and the arrow towers are temporary, as long as the remnants of the pirates are completely solved, these built arrow towers will be demolished, and these woods can be used for other purposes at that time, so there is no problem of waste.

"Li Shilang be careful."

After getting closer, a child pulled the branch hard, trying to remove the part he wanted, and the treetop rushed to Ang Lee's face, but at a certain distance, in fact, he didn't touch Ang Lee, and his subordinates just said it for concern.

"This kid wants to remove a three-pronged branch, presumably to make a slingshot."

Ang Lee guessed.

The subordinate nodded, looking at the children who were hunting for their own treasures.

Sure enough, after removing the three-pronged branches, the child began to make a slingshot, and what he did was somewhere, but he didn't know how effective it would be, and whether he could hit the birds.

Since the appearance of the slingshot, its role is to fight birds and birds, because of the limitation of power, can not be applied to the military field, only bows and crossbows such a high power, high precision weapons can be developed into weapons, slingshots also have the advantage of slingshots, that is, you can pick up small stones on the ground casually, do not spend too much money to make arrows, used to play and play, or hit the small birds and finches on the treetops is the most suitable, therefore, it has become a lot of children's early childhood play tools.

Children like to learn one by one, one child made a slingshot with a tree branch, and the rest of the children were naturally not to be outdone, they also learned, and they also had to make the same slingshot, otherwise they would be unhappy.

Some children already have slingshots, some have just made them, and the remaining children who don't have slingshots are also looking for materials to make slingshots that they are satisfied with.

There are many branches that have branches, and it stands to reason that a fallen tree is more than enough to make dozens of slingshots, but not all branches are suitable for slingshots, or can be easily made.

Some of the forks are too thick, children simply break them, even if they are sawed down with tools, after the production is completed, they are also raised in their hands, and it is very inconvenient to carry, and some of the forks are too large or too small, and the slingshot made is not easy to use.

There are also forks with different thicknesses, so when pulling, it is very easy to be unevenly stressed, which will cause the slingshot to be unusable, and the very thin forks do not have enough power, and the distance of the slingshot is too short, and it is also very easy to break.

In short, there seem to be a lot of materials for making a slingshot, but there are very few materials for a truly perfect slingshot.

Because good branches are a scarce resource, it will inevitably cause children to compete for it, and everyone wants the best branch they get.

Soon, the fight began, a child valued a branch, just wanted to pull hard, the child next to him went up and pushed him away, and then said loudly, he pulled hard, of course the bullied child will not be convinced, immediately rushed up to fight, and then, the situation immediately got out of control, the two people scuffled together, rolling around on the ground.

The adults next to them didn't interfere, maybe because the two children were not theirs, so they didn't know who to help, and they didn't want to meddle with things, or rather, they had long been accustomed to fights between children, and they had a feeling of being strange, and they didn't even want to take a look.

Ang Lee is an outsider, so there is no reason to interfere with children's fights, in case it is said to be a biased fight, it will be troublesome.

"You say, is it this tall man who can win, or this short man who can win?"

Li An didn't go to persuade him, but took a few steps back and appreciated it.

"The subordinates feel that the tall man has an advantage and will definitely win."

One of the subordinates said.

Another subordinate objected: "Short people are stronger than tall people, and my subordinates think that short people should be able to win." ”

Ang Lee was also not easy to judge, watching the two boys continue to roll and fight on the ground.

"Haha! Sandpipers and mussels compete for fishermen's profits! ”

Just when everyone's eyes were on the two children who were fighting, Li An raised his head slightly, and found that the branch that the two were fighting for had been torn off by the third child.

"Hahaha!"

The subordinates all laughed when they saw it.

The two children were obviously too involved in the fight, not realizing that the ideal tree branch they had tried their best to get had been snatched away.

"Li Shilang, do you want to remind them."

The subordinate laughed.

Li An shook his head and said, "No need, the second tree is about to fall, these children will definitely run over, and they will follow." ”

"Click......"

The second tree slowly fell with a crisp sound, and a large group of children all ran to the second tree in the hope of discovering a better branch.

The two children who were fighting, seeing that all the children around them had run away, stopped fighting, got up and looked at each other angrily, and suddenly found that the branch had been stolen, and immediately became angry, roaring and running to the next tree.

"It's all gone, it's just us, go up and play."

Ang Lee said with a smile.

"Li Shilang, how do you play this......"

The subordinates are older than Li An, how can they have the heart to play this, of course, they are even more afraid of being laughed at by the soldiers behind them.

Li Ang trusted the guards very much, and knew that they would not talk nonsense, so he jumped on the branch of the tree and shook it gently, making the whole tree rustle.

"Li Shilang, be careful......"

Several subordinates who followed were stunned, if this kind of thing was transmitted back to Datang, it would definitely be the front page headline of Datang Daily, and this kind of behavior was really not in line with Ang Lee's identity.

After playing casually for a few times, Ang Lee came down, and going crazy can be a good way to decompress and make his mood more relaxed.
