Chapter 349: Thriving

Nanmuling, located in the northeast of Huayu Village, is the largest soil ridge in Huayu Village.

At the top of it, there is a very conspicuous symbol, which can be seen from a very long distance.

That is, at the top of its hill, a huge banyan tree grows.

The fact that this banyan tree can grow so tall at the top will certainly not be for nothing, and it must have many conditions.

The most important thing is that at the top of Nanmu Ridge, there is a small natural lake.

The small lake is only about an acre in size, but there is a large spring eye in it, which does not dry up all year round.

Basically, the place where the big banyan tree grows is surrounded by abundant water, which is the fundamental reason why it is entrenched there.

Where the banyan tree is, not a single inch of grass grows.

This proverb speaks for itself.

This is due to the fact that the root system of the banyan tree is extremely developed, but it is said to be the most developed of all trees.

Its root system, which grows very fast, will spread everywhere, wantonly plundering water and nutrients, and other flowers and trees cannot compete with it at all.

It is not only developed in the root system, but also in the branches and leaves, and the growth rate is no worse than the root system.

Wherever it is, even the sunlight is basically robbed by it, causing all the plants in the vicinity to be unable to grow normally.

This is what it will be: where the banyan tree is, there is no grass.

Therefore, in many places in China, you can see a lonely big banyan tree, which is still a very large one.

The big banyan tree on the top of Nanmuling is also a lonely one, and the canopy covers an area of more than one acre, which is huge.

This big banyan tree has also become a symbol of Huayu Village.

Indeed, Huayu Village has only a history of more than 100 years, and I heard that it was still a remnant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and after choosing to settle here, it developed.

What is unimaginable is that this settlement, which originally consisted of only a few dozen people, has developed into a large village of more than 2,000 people in a short history of more than 100 years.

Children account for about half of the current population composition of Huayu Village!

Almost every household has more than five children!

This made many villagers worship the big banyan tree.

Thriving, it seems, is really what it is.

If someone wants to cut down the big banyan tree at the top of Nanmu Ridge, the whole village will have to fight with him!

More than ten years ago, there were also people clamoring to cut down the big banyan tree, but that night, his house was surrounded by the villagers of the entire Huayu Village!

More than a dozen old men dragged that guy out, hung him from a tree and whipped him all night!

Then he was rescued by the relevant personnel who heard the news, but he was completely disabled.

However, this matter did cause public anger, and in the end, it was naturally over.

Since then, even in that turbulent era, no one dared to shout to cut down the big banyan tree.

There are many soil ridges in Huayu Village, there are dozens, but they are not high.

The tallest Nanmu Ridge is less than 200 meters high.

However, it covers an area of not small, with a radius of four or five miles, which is as large as the area of Wang Qiang's big tea mountain.

Therefore, Wang Qiang and his group of five people and one dog spent about an hour when they came to the top of Nanmuling.

The reason why I came to the top of Nanmu Ridge was that my sister and a few of them had to come and see this very tall banyan tree.

Moreover, the place where Nanmu grows, on the back of Nanmu Ridge, can also be regarded as a drop-by.

Fortunately, most of the ridges are relatively gentle, and the tricycle can be easily pushed up without being placed underneath.

In that case, you need to leave Dabai in the guard.

"Wow! It's really big! ”

"What a big tree!"

"It's the tallest tree I've ever seen."

"I've never seen a tree grow so tall." ……

A few little girls, as soon as they came to the top of Nanmuling, looked at the super tree in front of them, and then shouted one after another.

Indeed, this big banyan tree is also one of the tallest trees Wang Qiang has ever seen.

Like such a tall banyan tree, there is also one in Yincheng, more than 40 kilometers away, which is tall and a little scary.

However, because Yincheng is a big tourist county, the section of the river where the big banyan tree is located has become one of the famous tourist attractions in Yincheng.

"The water quality of this natural lake is very clear, almost as good as the water quality of the natural lake on our family's Dacha Mountain."

"However, this natural lake is a little smaller, less than one-tenth the size of the big tea mountain."

Wang Qiang's focus is on the small lake in front of him.

Water is the source of life, this sentence is not just talking.

It is with this small natural lake that this big banyan tree and a large area of nanmu forest are nearby.

Wang Qiang had already seen the nearby Nanmu Forest.

"It's okay, it's just that there are no bigger nanmu, and there are at least a few hundred small nanmu saplings in total."

"Today, we have to dig up these small Nanmu saplings, transport them back to Dacha Mountain, and plant them."

The five of them, all with a super big shovel in hand, are not too easy to dig this small sapling.

It is estimated that in less than two hours, it will be possible to dig out all the scattered nanmu saplings.

Combined with the loading time, it took a total of three hours, which is also enough.

The soil of this Nanmuling is strange, as if it is a mixture of loess, black soil and sandstone.

Presumably, it is this special soil that is the biggest reason why Nanmu grows here.

It is estimated that at the beginning, there were only one or two Nanmu trees here, and after a long time, they slowly multiplied.

Just because the human demand for this type of top-quality wood is limitless.

Therefore, even after thousands of years of propagation, the nanmu here still cannot really grow into a forest, let alone grow into a towering tree.

But if any of the golden silk nanmu is mature, it will be cut down at the first time.

For the wood itself, it's sad.

But for human beings, it is most normal to ask for nature endlessly.

Originally, it is not surprising that humans are the most greedy and inferior spiritual animals.

Accompanying my sister and them, we played under the big banyan tree for about half an hour, and everyone finally started to get down to business.

Wang Qiang and a few girls, one of them held a big shovel that had been strengthened and upgraded twice, and quickly came to the area where only Nanmu saplings were left, and began to dig up vigorously.

Because it was a sapling, everyone dug up very quickly, and each person dug up one tree in three clicks, and then the next one.

The excavated saplings were piled up in two rows and waited until late afternoon to load them onto the car.

Time is the easiest to slip away when it comes to labor.

By dusk, about 300 nanmu saplings had been dug up by everyone.

Immediately after that, it was time to load.

Wang Qiang pushed the tricycle, stayed between the two long rows of nanmu saplings, and cooperated with his sister and began to load the saplings on the rear compartment and the big trailer.

When the sky was all dark, the tricycle and the large trailer behind it, which were already fully loaded with nanmu saplings, stood tall beyond the carriage, several meters high!

It seems that compared to the volume of the rear compartment and the large trailer, it is at least ten times more!

Fortunately, these nanmu saplings can arbitrarily exceed the limits of the rear compartment and the large trailer, so they can barely load all the saplings excavated here.

Wang Qiang used the hemp rope he brought to tie these saplings firmly with the tricycle, and deliberately left the ropes in front and behind.

This is necessary.

Although the slope of this large earthen ridge is not large, if you want to push the tricycle back to the foot of the ridge smoothly, you must hold it firmly, drag and pull.

Otherwise, there is a great chance of overturning.

It took a lot of effort and an hour and a half to get the seriously overloaded tricycle back on the road.

The main reason is that Wang Qiang and Dabai have too much strength, so they did not cause safety accidents.

Luckily, everything went well.

"Let's go! Let's go home! ”

Watching his sisters climb to the top of the tall trees one by one and sit firmly, Wang Qiang said with a wave of his hand.

He let Da Bai run along, pedaling hard under his feet, and the tricycle began to move forward, not fast or slow, in the direction of the Xihe Bridge.

It's already past nine o'clock in the evening, and there are basically no pedestrians on the road, and there will be no notice.

What's more, transporting a little sapling is not an unsightly thing, and it is not a big problem.
