The next day, Guo Jiefang and the other members of the advance team packed up the logging tools, bundled the luggage, and loaded them onto the climbing plow. Everyone put on a thick leather jacket and a dogskin hat and gathered on the playground. There were six of them, two horse-drawn plows, and they stood in a long row!

The bearded company commander stood at the head of the platoon, holding a red flag that he had bought out of nowhere. The eastern sky is just beginning to shine! Snowflakes fell in the sky again. The red flag in the hand of the bearded company commander fluttered in the air, whipped the cold air, and grinned······!

Guo Jiefang touched the tiger in his arms and found that it had fallen asleep in his arms. Huang Yaju covered the cotton hat on her head, ran to the front of the team, and explained a few words to the bearded company commander. The bearded company commander shook the red flag in his hand and shouted to the old Liang Touer: "Have you brought all the things?" ”。

Old Liang Tou'er licked the snowflakes at the corners of his mouth, spit out a large cloud of mist, and said, "Bring it all······ It's ······ to go! ”。

The bearded company commander turned his head and ordered the team: "All of them have ······ Objectives······ Logging point······ Start ······ Let's ······! ”。

When the whole team heard this, they trembled a little, and then walked out of the camp with neat steps and thick snow, and walked into the snowy mountains.

Guo Jiefang carried the luggage, put the rifle on his back, pulled the strap of the rifle with one hand, and touched the tiger in his arms with the other hand, and the tiger was warm and ······ on his body! As they reached noon, a strong wind blew again, and the snow began to fall heavier and heavier······ Guo Jiefang's eyes were white, he couldn't see anything clearly, and the snowflakes hit his face, like a knife cut, and he couldn't open his eyes at all······ He could only vaguely see the vague back of the fat cow in front of him ······!

Guo Jiefang looked behind him again, and saw that Lao Liang was holding the white-haired wind, desperately pulling the mule and horse with one hand, and covering the dogskin hat on his head with the other. The wind blew his hat ears up and down, like the wings of a bird!

Guo Jiefang felt that he was about to be frozen, his feet were already numerous, and his hands were ······ painful like pins and needles!

At this point, the whole team stopped. The bearded company commander ran back from the front of the group, and he shouted at the people behind the group, shouting something······ However, the wind was so strong that I couldn't hear what the bearded company commander was shouting!

Guo Jiefang only saw the beard company with his mouth open, his eyes widened, and the ice ballast on his beard ······!

Guo Jiefang narrowed his eyes, and the sound of the wind was whistling in his ears. The cold not only froze his hands and feet, but also froze his mind. He thought hard, and finally figured out that the bearded company commander was asking everyone to quickly find a place to avoid the snowstorm in front of him!

Guo Jiefang looked up and saw that the fat cow in front of him was gone. He scolded secretly, took a few steps back, and helped the old Liang Tou'er pull the frightened mule and horse. Old Liang was tired and sweating, he pointed to the side of the road and motioned for Guo Jiefang to pull the horse to the side of the road.

It turned out that the rest of the advance team had already found a sheltered cave in the ravine on the side of the road. The cave is not deep, and there are a lot of bear hairs hanging at the entrance of the cave, and everyone speculates that this cave may have lived with blind bears. But now it's too cold outside, and although the cave is not much better, it can always keep out the wind and snow. So everyone didn't care if there were blind bears in the cave, and they all got into the hole.

When everyone entered the cave, they found that there was no blind bear in the cave, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone built a bonfire in the cave, Guo Jiefang, Niu Jianjun, Li Yuanchao and Xiao Shanghai roasted around the fire, and the bearded company commander helped Lao Liang Tou'er unload the mules and horses from the climbing plow, trying to drive the mules and horses into the cave.

Xiao Shanghai stomped on the frozen wood, and on the other hand, he couldn't stop snorting hot on his hands, scolding and saying, "Allah······ It's so cold here······ It's not about freezing people to death······! ”。

Niu Jianjun said angrily to Xiao Shanghai: "You kid, straighten your tongue first before you speak, look at how hard you ······!" ”。

Li Yuanchao asked Xiao Shanghai and said, "Hey······ I said little Shanghai, is it cold in Shanghai in winter······ ”。

Xiao Shanghai said: "Where we are cold, it is not the pull of this cold method······ Allah ······ I forgot to ask you, how did you get sent to the advance team? Didn't you offend Political Commissar Huang······! ”。

Guo Jiefang asked Xiao Shanghai rhetorically: "Then what's the matter with you?" Wouldn't it offend her! ”。

Xiao Shanghai's face turned red and said, "It's nothing!" I'm just not likable, you'll all understand after a long time······! ”。

Niu Jianjun sneered and said, "You kid, are you going to the women's toilet again?" Otherwise, how could you send your kid to the advance team? ”。

Xiao Shanghai was furious, and scolded the fat man: "You little red old man, you dare to wronged a good person without evidence, tell you the truth, Lao Tzu was appointed by Huang Zheng to supervise you, now you understand what's going on······!" ”。

Niu Jianjun said indignantly: "Fart! Huang Yaju will send you to supervise Lao Tzu? I don't think you've done anything again······!" ”。

Xiao Shanghai didn't admit it to death, just shouting grievances. Everyone can't do anything about him!

The advance party rested in the cave for the night, and waited for the next day when the snowstorm had passed, and then they were back on the road. I walked all day, and arrived at the logging site in the evening. Around the logging site was a glade with several manholes, all of which were covered in snow. Opposite is the dense primeval forest and towering trees, and beyond the treetops, you can see the rolling mountains and the blue snow on the ridges of the distant mountains······!

Everyone walked to the manhole with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and cleared the snow around the manhole. That night, I made do with it all night in the manhole. The next day was a sunny day, and everyone hurried up and cleaned up the floor from the inside out. Lao Liang said that no one has lived in the manhole for too long, and another heavy snow will have to collapse! So everyone decided, taking advantage of the good weather in the past few days, to build a new wooden house to live in, although the old manhole can no longer live in people, but it is also very good to keep it as a warehouse!

As soon as they said they would do it, each of the six men assigned a task, some cut down trees, some built houses, and in a few days, they built wooden houses. Since there was no glass, the windows of the wooden house were nailed with wooden boards.

The wooden house sits on the slope of a glade, and when the sun shines, the peeled birch trunks shimmer brighter than snow······ The temperature has risen significantly, and the snow has begun to melt, but everyone knows that the temperature rise is only temporary, and the blizzard may be raging somewhere not far from them!

Soon after they moved in, logging production began again. They marked the trees in the woods that met the requirements with red paint and cut them down according to the markings. The felled trees were dragged down the hill by mules and horses and piled up in a log yard by the Sancha River. When the ice and snow melt and the river is mighty in the spring of the next year, it will be put down the river to a certain place downstream, where it will be loaded on a small train out of the mountain and transported out of this continuous mountain!

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye. Guo Jiefang's logging work is becoming more and more handy. Their arms have become thick and strong because they often wield axes, and their lives, with their trumpets and flying sawdust, are as calm as the frozen water ······ in the Sancha River!

Huzi has grown up a lot, he is no longer the toddler puppy, he now barks at everything that moves, and then shows the fangs in his pink mouth, just growing······!

Lianli usually comes to deliver food once every 40 days, and Lao Liang is counting the days with his fingers. He carried his old sleeve and went into the woods to hunt two grouses, saying that he was keeping them for the comrades who had brought food. The grouse was plucked and disemboweled and hung under the eaves to freeze. This caught the attention of the tiger, who was salivating all day long and barking under the eaves······! When it was almost noon, Huzi suddenly barked at the opposite mountain. Guo Jiefang walked out of the wooden house, put his hand on the pergola and looked at the top of the mountain opposite. I saw that on the top of the hill opposite, there were four people driving two climbing plows and walking towards them. Due to the distance, Guo Jiefang couldn't see clearly who was coming.

Niu Jianjun, Li Yuanchao, and Xiao Shanghai also ran out, and Xiao Shanghai also set up a pergola and watched for a long time, stabbed Guo Jiefang and asked: "Old Guo, who is here?" ”。

Niu Jianjun guessed: "It must be someone sent by Lianli to deliver food······ I'll tell the company commander ······! ”。 After saying that, he spread his legs and ran to the field.

The group got closer and closer, and gradually they could see their faces clearly. The two men who were driving the plough looked very familiar, but they couldn't name them. The two women sitting on the plow, one is Huang Yaju, and the other is Liu Lili!

The bearded company commander followed Niu Jianjun and ran back from the field, he looked at the opposite hill for a while, and muttered in a low voice: "Why are there two female ······?" ”。 Then he turned his head and instructed everyone, "Hurry up······ Go back to the house and sort out the housekeeping, you are embarrassed in front of Political Commissar Huang ······ provincial! ”。

Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and Niu Jianjun ran back while shouting loudly: "Fellow villagers······ Run······ Jap ······ It's ······ in the village! ”。

His strange scream frightened the tiger who was sleeping in front of the door. The dog hair on Huzi's body stood up, and he yelled at the crowd running around!
