The next day, Jiang Xiao stood in the courtyard and breathed in the fresh air.

Because there was a rain yesterday, the sky was washed blue, and the sound of birds chirping sounded in my ears, so don't be too comfortable on such a day.

As soon as I finished breakfast and packed my things, Uncle Jiang came.

Today they made an appointment to go to the mountains together.

Jiang Xiao had been prepared early, and now that Uncle Jiang came, she took her things on her back and went together.

She is wearing a junior high school uniform, after all, this is the best sportswear, which is breathable and can protect her hands and feet.

At the foot is wearing a pair of small rain boots, waterproof and easy to walk.

There are a lot of mosquitoes and insects on the mountain, as well as all kinds of sharp weeds, so you have to be prepared.

Uncle Jiang looked at Jiang Xiao's clothes and nodded, he was also wearing wear-resistant clothes, and he looked like he had been wearing some years.

"Let's go, then."

Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Mei sent Jiang Xiao and them out, and waved their hands worriedly: "Be careful when you go up the mountain, come back early." ”

"Okay." Jiang Xiao nodded.

There are many mountains in Jiangjia Village, and there are many roads up the mountain.

Because Uncle Jiang led the way, he took the road he often walked uphill.

Uncle Jiang led the way in front, but his footsteps were not big, and he was obviously taking care of Jiang Xiao behind him.

While walking, he also talked to Jiang: "I walked this road every day back then." ”

Every day he traveled long distances to the mountains to see his precious wood.

"I haven't been here for so many years, and the road is full of grass."

After walking for more than half an hour, Jiang Xiao and the others walked to the foot of the mountain, looking at the road covered by all kinds of weeds, Uncle Jiang sighed.

This is the way up the mountain???

Jiang Xiao looked at it and was shocked.

She climbed the mountain before, and all the mountains in the scenic area were climbed, and all the way were clean cement roads, even if it was a trail, it was also trimmed, and small steps with wild interest were built.

Even if it is a little wilder, take those paths without steps, but there is always a way, not the dense weeds now.

At a glance, this side is full of weeds, but if you look closely, you can find that there is no soil in front of Jiang Xiao, only dense weeds.

Looking at these traces, it should have been expanded into a road that could be opened to traffic, but now people have not walked and maintained it for many years, and it has become a pile of weeds.

Presumably, Uncle Jiang drove a tractor or a small truck to this mountain to transport wood, and at the foot of this mountain, a road was also opened along the next village.

In this way, Uncle Jiang planted wood on the mountain, and then cut it down and shipped it out to sell.

The weeds have not been cleaned up for several years, and Uncle Jiang has not bothered to clean up all these weeds, after all, now that he is not open to traffic, people can just pass.

He took out a firewood knife and stretched out his hand to chop.

The sharp firewood knife quickly cut down the weeds and thorns that were tall and tall, and while chopping, Uncle Jiang also stepped on the feet of rain boots, trampling the weeds into a road.

admonished Jiang Xiao; "Just follow me, don't step anywhere else, be careful."

"Okay." Jiang Xiao nodded and stepped on it, there were human-tall weeds all the way, and from time to time dandelions were cut down, floating everywhere.

Just walked all the way, cutting all the way, Jiang Xiao and the others didn't reach the place, seeing that Uncle Jiang had no strength in his hands, Jiang Xiao hurriedly said.

"Uncle, let me open the way, you rest first."

Uncle Jiang waved his hand and refused. "What strength do you have for a little doll, I am very familiar with this place, and it can be done in a few clicks."

Saying that, Uncle Jiang continued to cut the grass again, until another half an hour passed, listening to his panting voice, Jiang Xiao walked up and grabbed his firewood knife and tried to swing it to chop the weeds.

At the beginning, Jiang Xiao was still cutting well, and Uncle Jiang praised Jiang Xiao, until ten minutes later, Jiang Xiao's hands began to be sore.

Continuously lifting and chopping and lifting and chopping, looking relaxed, in fact, it took a lot of effort, Jiang Xiao persisted for some more time, Uncle Jiang laughed when he saw it, and reached out to take it and continue to chop.

The road didn't go straight up the mountain, but winding up, and the tall trees along the way obscured the sun overhead, making it a little dark and shady, but fortunately we finally got there.

This continuous piece of fir was planted by Uncle Jiang, and it has been twenty years now, even if he has not taken care of it, it has grown very luxuriantly.

Uncle Jiang raised his head to look at the tall and strong cedar tree, he sniffed and began to remember the beginning.

And Jiang Xiao began to walk around, took a look, and found that Jiangjia Village could be seen here.

From here, Jiangjia Village is only a little bit bigger, and the houses in the village are even more like ants.

With the light, Jiang Xiao took out his mobile phone and began to shoot, photographing the lush trees, the chirping birds, the Jiangjia Village in the distance, and the mountains beyond.

Sure enough, standing on the mountain, the scenery you see is different.

Jiang Xiao slapped violently, and she didn't know when Uncle Jiang was standing beside her, and asked her with a smile.

"Do you want to keep going?"

"Huh?" Jiang Xiao raised his head with a look of surprise, "Can you still go up?" ”

"Yes, this place is not even halfway up the mountain, this mountain is huge." Seeing the doubts in Jiang Xiao's eyes, Uncle Jiang explained to her.

Jiang Xiao was shocked when he heard this.

They had been walking for almost two hours, and now they were not even halfway up the mountain, not to mention reaching the top of the mountain!!

"Let's go, there are a lot of interesting and beautiful scenery on it." Uncle Jiang picked up the firewood knife and continued to walk forward.

"Uncle, aren't you going to keep looking?"

After Jiang Xiao listened to Grandpa Jiang's words, he knew that this forest was planted by Uncle Jiang with all his efforts to save food and use, and he was very precious and wanted to live in the mountains at the beginning.

But he hadn't been to see his wife and children since they died.

Uncle Jiang, who was walking in front, stiffened his back, shook his head, and his voice was a little dim, "There's no need." ”

He worked so hard to grow wood and make money in order to let his wife and son live a good life, but now, they are gone, so what else does he want to do with all this wood?

Because the road that Uncle Jiang repaired at the beginning only reached the place where he planted wood, and the road to continue walking up was obviously much more difficult.

Uncle Jiang walked and did not forget to tell Jiang Xiao to be careful of his steps.

In this way, Jiang Xiao followed Uncle Jiang all the way up, kept walking, and then gradually heard the sound of rushing water.

Jiang Xiao, who was originally so tired that he lowered his head and sighed, suddenly became energetic, and hurriedly raised his head to look at the place where the sound was.

Sensing Jiang Xiao's movement behind him, Uncle Jiang couldn't help but laugh.
