As soon as the sun rose early in the morning, the roar of the two collector engines pierced the still dark sky in the forest. The two headlights in front of the machine, when shining on the ground, are still a little humid in the air, causing two obvious cones of light to hang down in front of the lamp. These two machines were to transport the timber that had been cut to a fixed length the day before and transport it to an island 400 kilometers away. On the ground, walking were people who had just woken up from their sleep, and they looked a little listless, completely devoid of the excitement of chirping when they first entered the forest.

When they arrived at the location, the groups had not dispersed, and Wen He shouted again for everyone to gather: "Don't disperse yet, everyone will listen to me tell me a few important things first." Well! From yesterday's work, I found some problems and now I remind you of them. One is the safety issue, that is, when the tree you cut down is about to fall, you must, remember to remind the people around you to evacuate from the vicinity, so as not to fall down the tree or branches and the like to hit people, once you hit people, it is not a small injury, it may kill people, there were several such dangerous things yesterday. I repeat it again today to pay special attention to this. He emphasized the last few sentences word by word, and continued: "Second, when cutting trees, whether you use a saw or an axe, you must pay attention to a way and method, right?" You can't chop with an axe everywhere on a tree, it's not carving, is it? That's too inefficient. I took a look at how to do it, and the method of their group is good many times, and you can learn from them. That's all, let's get busy! Remember, stay safe and methodical! ”

The group brought by many times included his son Xibo and his wife Lili, Zhaoli, Bai Min and Richard. Tafan and Zebo were chopping a tree about 40 centimeters in diameter with an axe. Zhao Li and Bai Min passed by and saw Duofan and his son with cloth bags of soil tied to their legs.

Zhao Li stopped and looked at the two men wielding axes: "Heh! After all, it's a scientist, and that's a good way. ”

glanced at Zhaoli many times, and continued to swing the axe: "It's so hard to work hard, it won't even fly out with an axe when you swing the axe." ”

Zhao Li smiled: "It's not that exaggerated! ”

He smiled a lot: "I think it makes the axe more comfortable." ”

Zhao Li and Bai Min, they met more than ten years ago on a cargo spaceship carrying a wormhole spacecraft. Back then, because Bai Min and Richard, as the inspectors of the cargo spaceship, intended to stop the action of the wormhole spacecraft, they were kidnapped to the wormhole spaceship by Zhaoli and many envoys, and were imprisoned alone. This reunion again, Zhaoli will no longer be Bai Min's prey, and Bai Min has become a free body. On the first day together, Zhao Li, as the winner of the two sides of the struggle, was still wary of Bai Min and the two, and some didn't want to deal with the two. Today, Bai Min took the initiative to partner with Zhaoli to cut down a tree, obviously wanting to break the barrier between the two.

The saws of the two were pulled and sent, and Bai Min: "Teacher Zhao, more than ten years have passed, and you still hate the things on the spaceship?" ”

Zhao Li: ""

"You know what? On the wormhole spaceship, you locked the two of us in a separate house and often went without food for several days. ”

"I don't know. It would be nice if I didn't throw you out of the ship! ”

Bai Min smiled: "Then why didn't you throw it?" ”

"Forget."

"What's the matter with not delivering food?"

"It's us, I forgot about it many times, otherwise it wouldn't"

"Why did you let us go now?"

"Didn't Ivan tell you? Now, you just can't tell KX that you can't, right? ”

Bai Min looked for the words and hesitated for a moment: "Hey! Were we just trying to eat? ”

"You can't eat anything, you want to be KX's lackey - eat their food. Hey! After talking for a long time, you still take it for granted! ”

Bai Min paused for a moment: "I didn't think like that, absolutely not." Ay! If you complain, you complain that we don't have any culture, what can you do if you don't do this! ”

"There are so many uneducated, why don't they do this business. By now, I don't think you have the intention of repenting. ”

"Changed, changed, don't believe you ask Richard."

"Humph! It's so far away, and it's hard for people like you to report the news! Say no more, get to work. ”

Soon, Wenhe moved to the neighborhood. When Zhao Li saw him, he thought of what he wanted to ask.

Zhao Li rested his hand and said to Wen He: "Isn't it time to use a chain saw for logging?" With such a primitive tool, when will the harvesting amount be completed! ”

Wen He squatted down in front of him: "Why don't we want to use mechanized tools, isn't it not that big engine!" Besides, even if you want to make such an engine, you can't catch up with the time, and what about the metal materials used to make the engine, don't you have to find metal ore to smelt steel, and then process and manufacture trouble? Now we have to start from scratch. ”

"Those detectors, collectors were made before, right?"

"Hmmm! The collector was specially developed to collect fuel for the engine on the road, and now it is also modified. We are in the process of converting a couple of spare observer engines into chain saws, which have been modified and are being experimented with, and will be ready for use in a few days. This technique is simple. ”

"That's good!"

"Then you have to do it, don't you, I've tried, and it's not easy to master."

"It's better than cutting a saw by hand, isn't it?"

"That's right. Hold on for a few more days! ”

I don't know how long later, he ran to Zhaoli and they were more than a dozen steps away and shouted: "Hey! Stay away, for our tree is falling. ”

"I just looked at your incisions, and I wouldn't want to fall in this direction."

Many times: "That's not necessarily, hurry up and stay away!" ”

After waiting for about twenty minutes and still seeing no movement, Bai Min was a little impatient, and some wanted to return to the tree he had cut down, but Zhaoli stopped him.

Not far away, "Crack! "Crackle!" The tearing sound of plant fibers suddenly becomes louder, and the frequency becomes denser, and finally, the elongated "crackle, crackle!" Hula! Lala! The sound of the fibers tearing, and the sound of the branches and leaves rubbing against each other and the air and the branches and leaves of the trees, and finally "Boom!" Rumble! "A bang. The tree they had cut down fell to the ground, stirring up a pile of dust, which was accompanied by the sound of the branches of the tree striking the ground and shattering, and countless particles of plant debris flew in the air.

In the first few days, when their people saw and heard this, some of them were inevitably timid, and some of them were inevitably excited, and in Zhaoli's words, this is a new forest symphony! After a few days, they were numb.

Zhaoli: "Enough rest, let's go, it's time to us!" ”

Xibo passed by: "Come on, uncle!" Hearing this, Zhao Li turned around and saw that it was Xibo: "You don't repair the branches." ”

Xibo: "Find another one, finish cutting and repairing." ”

Bai Min interjected: "Hey! Ay! Xibo, wait a minute, I'll discuss something with you. Sibo paused: "What's the matter?" ”

Bai Min walked up to him and bit Xibo's ear and whispered, "Let's change it for the two of us, okay?" Anyway, it's not comfortable for you to work at your dad's, and it's not comfortable for me to work here. Xibo listened and glanced at Zhaoli, who was resting, and thought for a moment: "Okay then!" If you go find a dead tree, tell my dad. After that, he handed Bai Min the axe, and sat down in Bai Min's position and pulled up the saw.

Zhaoli was not too surprised, and said to Xibo: "Your hands are itchy and want to change your position?" ”

"There, isn't it good to do you a favor? Thank you. Zhao Li: "Thank you! ”

Xibo smiled: "You're welcome. ”

Sting! Sting! Nibble! Nibble! In the forest, the sound of saws pulling wood and axes chopping wood are intertwined. The sounds of animals that could be heard occasionally when they first entered the forest had been muffled by the sound of logging, and the animals that were nearby had long been silenced.

Although the logging is tiring, the scenery around it is still refreshing. On earth, you can only see in the old movies that are shown in the Ring Screen Cinema, but now you are in the shadow of the trees, how can you not forget the past that is actually far away.

After a few months, these new arrivals have almost forgotten their alien identity, and have already regarded themselves as a part of this place, as the master of this place. Although it is still too primitive and backward, they think that they can achieve the goal of prosperity and succession if they plan and build it well, so that they can meet the basic needs of life. Sometimes, they feel that the temperature is not as good as it could be - a little too low, but it is possible to move around with more clothes. The problem of eating is a bit difficult, but it can be solved after a long time. Come to think of it, there are fewer and fewer shortcomings here, and more and more cuteness.

Whether it is the human environment or the climatic environment, its quality can have a certain impact on people's spiritual world, and sometimes even the influence of deciding the surname.

Bai Min looked at the trees around him as he walked, and not far away, a dead tree loomed in the bushes, and he walked a few steps until the tree that was all dead came into his eyes. When I got closer, I saw that the leaves of the tree had already been stripped naked, and there was no shadow of the leaves on the ground, it seemed that it had been dead for a long time, and the trunk of the tree could still be seen peeling off the bark of the tree one by one, revealing a trace of fibrous tissue and xylem that had decayed a little, and a large lump about a meter above the ground grew under the ground.

Bai Min picked the bark with his hand, easily picked off a piece, and said to himself: "Bai is happy, it is a rotten tree." ”

He was not reconciled, so he slashed with the axe in his hand, and after a few strokes, a palm-sized black hole appeared at the place where the axe was chopped. Bai Min said to herself: "Damn! The rotten is empty. He just wanted to pick the wood on the edge of the hole with his hand again, and a few black things the size of half a palm crawled out, and when he was stunned, the black thing suddenly pounced on Bai Min's face, and he subconsciously blocked it with his right arm, shouting, "Mom! He threw himself backwards and fell to the ground. The adrenaline suddenly increased, so that he put his left hand on the ground, got up and turned to make a come, glanced at the direction, and shook his right arm as he ran.

Bai Min ran to the vicinity of Zhaoli and Xibo with a gust of wind, Zhaoli and Xibo looked at Bai Min in surprise with wide eyes, Bai Min raised his right arm and shook it at the two of them: "Take a look!" What was biting my arm? On the back I can't see. ”

Xibo put down the saw handle and quickly took a closer look, only to see three animals covered with gray fluff and black skin in a square, clinging to Bai Min's sleeves.

Bai Min: "Hurry up!" It's a little painful. Xibo looked left and right to look for tools, he picked up a branch, and picked it aside against Bai Min's sleeve, the animal was quite tight, Xibo changed to a slightly pointed one, and it took a while to pick the next one, and the animal had not yet landed, and it flew away in front of everyone.

Zhao Li shouted on the side: "Knock it to death!" Knock it to death! ”

The second one also flew away as soon as it was picked up, and when it came to the third one, Zhao Li shouted: "Knock it a few times first, knock it a few times first."

Xibo: "Lao Bai, you bear with it, it'll be over in a while," he knocked the animal a few times, and then easily picked it open. This one didn't fly away, but fell to the ground. Zhao Li stepped forward and stepped on his feet, twisted his ankles a few times, and raised his feet to see that he had stepped on them and did not move anymore before he reassured himself to retract his feet.

Duoban and Richard also came over when they heard the big commotion here.

Many times: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Li: "Bai Min was bitten by a monster. He pointed to the animal on the ground with his chin: "That's it." ”

Xibo was rolling Bai Min's sleeves and glanced at the animals on the ground many times: "Are people okay?" Bai Min blinked a few times with a calm face, looking innocent.

Sibo: "I'll know if there's anything right away. Bai Min's sleeve was tucked up to his elbow, and Xibo raised it to take a closer look at the back, only to see three blood-soaked marks arranged in a circle.

Duofan also raised Bai Min's arm, glanced at Bai Min with concern, and then looked at his arm: "Does it hurt?" ”

Bai Min nodded: "A little bit." I just found a dead tree and it felt like it had decayed, so I chopped it a few times with an axe and these guys came out, oh! Flew out and bit my arm. Fortunately, there are clothes in the way, otherwise it would have been even worse. "Huh! It hurts! The pain in the heart," Bai Min gasped in pain and took a few breaths of cold air.

frowned many times and said, "Does it hurt like this all the time?" ”

Bai Min: "For a while. ”

Many times: "You hurry back to the base, hey!" Send him back, old man. ”

Zhao Li was a little unimpressed by Bai Min's excessive moaning, and asked him to send it again, a little reluctantly: "Hmm! That" he wanted to say simply Xibo send, but he stopped talking.

Dorkik led a group of six. They were lucky enough to find an area of dead trees with dozens of trees waiting to be cut down, the only bad thing was that it was a little further away from the base, and a little far from the other three groups. His men reminded Dokik that it was best to follow Wenhe's instructions to cut wood where the other group could see it, but it would be a pity to leave this ready-made fruit without it now: "Don't we still have guns!" What are you afraid of! Dorkik reminded.

By noon, they had cut down three trees. Dokik happily said to Ivan's son Leko: "Hey! Lecco, sing us a song, how's it? ”

Leko laughed, "I don't know a few songs, and I can't sing them well." ”

"You're not like Ivan's son."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm too timid, why don't you just sing a song!"

"I'm incomplete, I'm out of tune, I'm afraid I'll scare you. Why don't I recommend one to you? ”

"Who?"

"Bingling, she can sing, and she looks pretty good."

Not far away, the ice spirit was chopping branches with an axe, and when she heard Leco talk about her, she said a little shyly, "I don't sing well." ”

Dorkik: "Sing and play!" Leko chimed in: "That's it, play!" ”

Bing Ling twisted his head and thought, "Hmm! What to sing? ”

Leko: "Sing a love song." ”

Dorkik: "The love song is so soft, how about singing 'Our First Year' made up by Chade?" ”

Bingling: "That's a song sung by men. ”

Dokik: "Who said that?" I think it's okay for both men and women. ”

Ice Spirit squirmed: "

Dorkik: "Why don't you get up and sing together?" ”

Bing Ling moistened her voice and still sang:

Billions of journeys have been walked by us / Fourteen years later, we began to start from the Yuan era

Dorkick and Leko began to sing along:

Thousands of stars light the way for us / Ten thousand difficulties are trampled under our feet / Into your arms / Our lucky place / You - let us know ourselves again / You - let us pluck up again

The ice spirit sang and her voice began to tremble, and there was no sound behind her, she looked fixedly at the woods on a hillside not far away, listening to Dorkik and Leko still singing, she pointed to the hillside with her fingers, and trembled to remind the two: "That! What is that? We're looking at us! ”

When Leko heard the trembling voice of the ice spirit, and saw her strange expression and raised arm, he looked in the direction she was pointing, and said something in his mouth: "What? He suddenly looked into the distance, maybe a little dazzled and couldn't see clearly, and rubbed his eyes. As he sang, Dorkik felt that he was the only one who was pronouncing, and he also stopped, and looked at the ice spirit with an inquiring look.

Leko exclaimed, "Oh! Oh! I saw it," he said, turning around and searching for a gun not far away, he picked up and took aim.

Dorkik approached Leco and held his hand on Leco's gun, "What's that?" Don't shoot just yet, let's see what's going on. He looked in the direction of the gun, and saw two animals of shape, skin color, and fire-like man, standing in the hillside forest about a hundred meters away.

The two animals didn't panic at all, looking at the tree cutters.

Dorkik thought for a moment and said to Lecco: "Pick up the powder bullet and shoot it into the air to scare them." ”

Leco: "Does it work?" Dork: "Try it." ”

The crisp sound of the "bang" gunfire smashed into the nearby mountains to form a second sound, and the startled two animals trembled on the spot, turned around and ran away, and disappeared into the forest after running a short distance. The sound of the gunfire shocked the ice spirit to also be a spirit, and several other people also felt that the gunfire had not dispersed in their minds for a long time.

Leko reminded with a nonsense sentence: "They left. ”

Bing Ling came to his senses: "It's so loud! ”

Leko laughed, "I'm scared of you!" ”

Bing Ling nodded: "My ears are still buzzing right now. ”

Dorkik: "Don't be afraid, we've got us!" ”

"What's up! Why did you shoot," Wen He ran over panting, and shouted from a distance of twenty or thirty paces.

Dorkik smiled at him, "Nothing. Wen He ran to him and gasped.

Dorkik pointed in the direction where he found the animal: "There were two animals there just now, looking at us from a distance of about a hundred meters, and they fired a shot to scare them." ”

Wenhe: "What does it look like?" Scare away, right? ”

Dorkik: "Looks like Huoman, and it's gone." ”

"It's not hurt, is it?"

Leco: "More than 100 meters away!" ”

Dorkik approached Wenhe and whispered, "I scared the ice spirit just now. Is it an early day to call it a day? ”

Wen He hesitated for a moment: "Yes, then go back!" ”

Dorkik turned around and said, "Let's go, go back to the base." ”

Leko looked incredulous: "Call it a day?" Then he came to his senses: "Let's go, go home." ”

Bingling: "Great, thank you! Wenhe. ”

"Don't thank me! Lao Duo's proposal, thank him, thank him! (To be continued.) )
