Born in a family of woodmakers, there is nothing to say about cutting bamboo. His skillful sword skills were superb, and then the seven or eight blue bamboos side by side in front of him fell down one by one.

While removing the heavenly gift of blue bamboo branches and leaves, he explained to us: "Brother Sen, Sister Xin, you see, when making bamboo rafts, this round blue bamboo needs to be woven and fixed by removing the green strips from the bamboo.

"The method of taking green slivers is to break the bamboo, cut it into strips, like cutting fish slices, and only take its most resilient surface material."

"Godci, then we've finished cutting the blue bamboo now, where is the glutinous bamboo?" Lingxin walked up to him and wondered.

"Sister Xin, don't worry. Bamboo is just an auxiliary material, and only two are needed. I'm going to fix the ends of these blue bamboos and check the joints of each bamboo for insect eyes, otherwise it will be terrible when I go into the water. ”

Listening to Tianci say this, his face naturally showed admiration, and he was meticulous in the face of Tianci's attitude towards things.

Seeing that Tianci was sweating profusely, I couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so I walked up to him, handed him a bottle of water, and said to him, "Tianci, thank you for your hard work." Come, drink some water.

"Let me cut the remaining two bamboos, you see, the tips of the bamboos in front of me are hanging by dense bamboo leaves, are they bamboos?"

Tianci looked in the direction of my hand and pointed, nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Sen." ”

"Okay, now that these seven or eight blue bamboos have been preliminarily trimmed, you sit and rest, and leave the rest to me." As I spoke, I reached for the Qi knife in his hand.

Seeing that I was imperative, Tianci didn't say a word, so he handed me the Qi knife in his hand and advised: "Brother Sen, the reason why this bamboo is called bamboo is because its bamboo is relatively brittle, and you need to pay special attention when cutting, otherwise it is easy to break, and the associated sections will also be broken."

"If the bamboo is broken, it will be difficult to operate when taking the green slivers."

"Don't worry, I have my own measure, and I will master the strength!" I patted him on the shoulder and said, then I looked at Lingxin, "Lingxin, are you going to come with me, or are you going to stay put?" ”

After listening to my words, she looked at me and said with a smile: "Of course I'll go with you, I'm afraid that your bamboo won't be cut, and your hands will be dull." ”

"Yes, I'm clumsy, don't you just call you clever?" To borrow her words, I said poorly.

"Rhetoric!" She rolled her eyes at me, "Sen, let's go, maybe we're done cutting all the bamboo." ”

According to the God-given chopping method, I cut out a ring at the root of the bamboo, and then knocked the Qi knife on the bamboo a few times, and the bamboo fell down with a "crunch". Seeing this, Lingxin on the side praised me: "Sen, you learn very fast!" Very good! ”

I can see that she didn't hurt me this time, and the praise was from her heart.

"Brother Sen, the bamboo is cut." Seeing that I was dragging two bamboo sticks with branches and leaves removed, Tianci hurriedly greeted me and helped me.

"Hey, what about you who are Christians?" Seeing that Tianci was holding a model of the character "ten" in his hand, he asked curiously.

"No, no, no!" Hearing this, Tianci hurriedly waved his hand, "This is the clip, cut a cross at one end of the bamboo, insert the clip into it, and hit the clip with a knife, and the bamboo will naturally be cut evenly." I did it when you two first went to chop bamboo. ”

"I see." Listening to what Tianci said, he felt that there was still a lot of attention to this wood art, so he couldn't help but nodded.

Later, after Tianci cut the bamboo sticks, divided them evenly into several long strips, and used a Qi knife to remove the green slivers, he told us that we now began to weave bamboo rafts.

Lingxin and I immediately helped him fix two blue bamboos, and then he set up two short bamboos horizontally on top of the two blue bamboos, which, according to him, was to fix the main frame so that the other bamboos could be tied in the future.

On the two vertical bamboos, Tianci used one finger to tie the two horizontal bamboos with a cross with them, and then twisted the end of the green strips into a twist shape to finish. For him, this practice is actually to increase the friction of the smooth green sliver, which plays the role of a firm support.

After the chassis was ready, Tianci told me that the way to weave a bamboo raft is to weave it up and down. For this reason, I handed him the bamboos one by one.

Due to the tight schedule and the hot weather, Tianci quickly built a bamboo raft, and during the whole production process, he handled every detail quickly and rigorously, for which I have to admire his extremely high talent.

When I looked around, Professor Xia was too tired to fall asleep under the tree - he didn't choose to go back to the car to save fuel - after all, there was not enough gas this time. At this time, Ling Xin also noticed this, and prepared to go over and call him.

"Listen to your heart, don't worry!" I grabbed her, "I guess Uncle Xia is also tired, so let's rest in place for a quarter of an hour and let him sleep for a while." ”

"yes, okay." After listening to the heart's answer, he sat down on the raft.

Seeing this, I pulled Tianci and asked him to sit down on the raft and rest for a while.

Lingxin, who seemed a little bored, used a withered bamboo branch to pick up the bamboo leaves on the ground back and forth, looking dumbfounded.

At this time, Tianci said to me: "Brother Sen, there are more gadflies in the marsh where you are going in a while, and I will give you a bottle of homemade insect repellent." ”

After the topic was raised, Ling Xin hurriedly asked, "God, where is the insect repellent liquid?" I'll see! ”

At this time, Tianci took out a white bottle with a wooden cork from his backpack and handed it to Ling Xin.

"Sister Xin, this insect repellent liquid, you can achieve the effect of insect repellent by applying a little bit on your clothes, and if you have more, the smell will be too strong." After seeing Lingxin take the bottle, Tianci explained the use of mosquito repellent to Lingxin.

After taking a look at the mosquito repellent, Lingxin put the bottle in her backpack, patted me on the shoulder and said to Tianci: "Tianci, don't worry, look at your brother Sen, with fine skin and tender meat, I will give him a little more in a while." ”

"This can be had!" For Ling Xin's words, Tianci also followed her blind coaxing.

While talking and laughing, I seemed to feel that something was not quite right, so I looked at Tianci with a solemn expression and asked, "Tianci, according to the geographical location and climate here, there should be no marshes there." ”

Hearing me say this, Tianci suddenly realized: "Brother Sen, if you don't say it, I forgot, listen to grandpa say that the marsh is because the dragon veins of Quanshan have been destroyed, so the yellow mud water in the ground gushes up, and the marsh is formed." ”

"No wonder!" I nodded slightly.

At this time, I couldn't help but listen curiously, so I asked: "God's gift, how long is that?" ”

"Sister Xin, I don't know about this, you have to ask Brother Sen about this!" Tianci didn't know how to answer Lingxin's curiosity, so he pinned his hope on me.

"Actually, for this question, I can't calculate the actual time of the fall of the Quanshan Dragon Vein, because I need to go to the field to find out the mystery."

I spread my hands over them and shook my head.
