The topography of the Loess Plateau is roughly divided into ridges, plateaus, beams, and rivers.

Among them, "Chuan" refers to a large flat depression sandwiched between two mountain ravines, and the soil is moist and fertile, which is the most suitable for growing crops.

"Plateau" corresponds to "Sichuan", belongs to the flat mountain top, and is also called Taiyuan. This kind of place is also suitable for growing crops, but it depends on the harvest.

In the dry season, it is necessary to carry water for irrigation by manpower.

As for the mountains, generally speaking, they are relatively short hills and hills, which can be surrounded by terraces to grow crops.

The "beam" is a strip-shaped loess hill, which is generally easy to form a steep earth cliff, which is what people usually call a cliff.

The topography of the Loess Plateau is so strange that sometimes the two villages seem close together, with a deep ravine on the cliff side in between.

I can chat and shout face-to-face, but if I want to go there, I have to go around more than 30 miles.

This terrain is mostly not cropped, and the terrain is steep, so farmers generally avoid it when collecting firewood. However, often in places that humans can't reach, there are a lot of good firewood grows.

Wang Manyin was also stupid and bold, prepared the rope, sickle and axe, and left with the rhubarb. The place he went to was called Wolf's Den Mountain, and it is said that wild wolves had existed there before.

After leaving the village, Rhubarb seemed to be particularly excited, and kept running around. One by one, the larks were startled, and in an instant, they rushed up to the clouds and hovered in the sky.

This bird is very common on the Loess Plateau, is about the size of a sparrow, and likes to make a nest in a wheat field.

Their cries are so melodious that they are also called "Son of Heaven".

One person and one dog are swaying, and they don't feel lonely.

After an hour's effort, Wang Manyin climbed over two mountain beams one after another, and the village opposite was completely out of sight.

After walking for more than ten miles, I finally came to the wolf's den.

This area is a typical mountainous landform, and the distance from the river makes it more desolate, and there are many traces of human activity.

The surrounding beams are covered with sparse trees and shrubs.

Wang Manyin took a breath, took out a crockpot from the space, drank a few sips of warm water, and ate two boiled eggs and a corn nest.

Of course, he didn't forget the earth dog, and also made this guy half a corn nest and got some water.

After eating and drinking, Wang Manyin officially began to get busy.

Deal with those thin branches and vines, and serve directly with a scythe. When encountering thicker bush branches, swing an axe and click and slash.

In less than two hours, Chai He piled up a hill in the space.

After resting for a while, Wang Manyin tied one end of the rope around his waist and the other end to the root of the sour jujube tree, and began to slowly climb down the cliff.

He saw clearly from above just now, there was a flat land more than 20 meters high on the cliffside, and there were a few fallen dead trees growing on it, which should be acacia, almost with a thick bowl mouth, and it seemed to be a vintage.

You need to make doors and windows for the caves you build yourself, and you can save a lot of money on wood by bringing them back.

Wang Manyin did it as soon as his brain was hot, and he didn't know how dangerous such an act was.

Halfway down, the rope above his head suddenly relaxed, and he fell rapidly with his body.

"I'm Nima, the rope is broken...... he hurriedly waved his hands, scratching at the roots of the weeds and trees around him, taking the opportunity to slow down the fall.

The last one tumbles, and it can be rolled down on the platform.

Looking at the bottom of the cliff, Wang Manyin was overjoyed.

It's too hanging, if you fall directly just now, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.

Especially in this place, there is no one for several miles, and even if you ask for help, it is "not to be called every day, and the earth is not spiritual".

After settling down, he felt a pain on his face. If you wipe the blood with your hand, you should have been scratched by a sour jujube thorn.

It's not a big deal to have gloves on both hands.

Then, he pulled the rope, only to realize that it was not broken in two. But the other end was not tied properly and came off the root of the jujube tree.

Wang Manyin originally wanted to use dead trees as wood, but after peeling off the bark and looking at it a few times, he was very disappointed.

No wonder such a large tree dies. The trunk part has been drilled with large holes and small eyes, and there are a lot of insect droppings scattered around it, which should be left by the larvae of the longhorn beetle.

It is definitely not possible to make wood, so you can only take it back as firewood, and it is still okay to steam a few pots of wowo.

Then he cut off the roots of the tree and hugged the trunk.

The next moment, the people and the trees disappeared. A few times back and forth, I got a few big trees into the space.

As for the roots, Wang Manyin didn't plan to let them go.

Due to the lack of water, the trees of the Loess Plateau have a characteristic, not to mention that the main stem is not high, but the rhizome is not small.

Just such a dead tree, it is estimated that the roots of the tree can make dozens of catties of firewood.

Luckily, there are shovels in the space, so you can try to dig out the roots later.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a faint buzzing sound in his ears, like bees flying.

At first, I thought I had heard it wrong, but when Wang Manyin searched around, he became excited again.

There was a gap about half a centimeter wide on the cliff in front of us, and seven or eight bees were flying in and out.

Although it is early winter, there are still some scattered wildflowers blooming along the sunny cliffs in the mountains. Therefore, during the day, when the sun is good and the weather is warm, you can occasionally see wild honey going out to collect honey.

Seeing those bees, Wang Manyin was almost overjoyed.

There are bees, there must be hive swarms. They have worked hard to accumulate for more than half a year, and there is no shortage of honey in them.

What's more, you can take the swarm into the space.

Although the space area is only more than three acres, the climate is suitable and wildflowers are everywhere. If you keep a swarm of bees, you won't have a problem eating honey in the future.

If you can't finish eating, you can also sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The last time he went to the souvenir acquisition department, he happened to know about it. Farmers are now allowed to raise their own bees in the commune. Moreover, the supply and marketing cooperatives buy honey all year round, one dollar and one catty.

Last year, someone in the village dug a nest of earth bees in the mountains, and made a whole large bucket of honey alone, and it is said that it sold for more than 20 yuan.

Wang Manyin has never dug out the honeycomb, but he has seen some videos of picking honey and repairing donkey hooves on the Internet in later generations, so he knows about it.

He knew that the movement should not be too loud when picking honey, otherwise it would be easy to blow up the group.

It's just that the weather is cold now, and the activity of bees is relatively low, which saves a lot of work.

After carefully looking at the position, he took a sickle and dug the loess at the entrance of the hole little by little. The whole action was cautious, and it took about ten minutes to finally dig the hole.

The golden hive was revealed, and a large swarm of blackened bees crawled back and forth.

Probably because it was too cold, these guys were alarmed and only flew around the hive a few times before falling back again.

The outside of this cave does not look big, but the space inside is not small, and the shape is narrow and long, which should be a naturally formed gap.

Wang Manyin could see seven or eight bee spleens, almost occupying the entire cave.

It seems that this nest of soil bees has been living in the crevices for a long time.

Next comes the most important step – picking the bee's spleen.

According to the Internet, smoke it is used.

Wang Manyin knew the general steps, but he didn't operate them. I don't know how much smoke is needed and how much smoke it will take. I'm afraid that I won't be willing to blow up the bee's nest or smoke it to death, but it's not good.

After some hesitation, he decided to do it anyway.

Wear the gloves first, and tie the cuffs tightly with rope.

Then, Wang Manyin took a piece of ragged clothes from the space and wrapped it around his head, revealing only his two eyes.

His body was tightly wrapped, and he felt that he was ready, so he reached out and began to break the bee's spleen.

As expected, as soon as the bee spleen was broken, many earth bees were immediately alarmed.

Buzz, hundreds of them flew up.

However, it did not fly far, and after a circle, it fell back into the bee's spleen.

There were many bees that landed directly on Wang Manyin's body, and one of them happened to crawl into the gap of his clothes and stabbed into the tail needle according to his cheek.

Hiss, pain.

In fact, the stinging of the wasp is much lighter than that of the wasp, a bit like an injection, but it hurts, and it doesn't feel much.

After adapting to it, Wang Manyin ignored it, and directly took the bee spleen into the space and put it in the jar that had been prepared earlier.

The next moment, continue to return to break the bee spleen.

After going back and forth seven or eight times, and being stung twice, I finally plucked all the bee spleens.

At this moment, the space was lively, and these bees were completely panicked, buzzing everywhere.
