Lei Zhai basketball team, lack of people!

According to the "National Hemei Village Basketball Competition (Village BA) Competition Rules", each participating team can apply for 1 team leader, 1 coach and no more than 12 players.

Although the requirements can be appropriately relaxed during the grassroots selection competition, it is impossible for each village to make up so many people, but each team must have one or two substitute players.

Otherwise, it is inevitable that players will be injured or sent off the field during the fierce game, and when there are no five people on the field, the game cannot be guaranteed to be carried out normally.

Yu Yan tried to explain: "I originally wanted to report the names of Uncle Long and Uncle Pan, but they refused to provide their ID numbers, saying that they didn't want to show their heads and embarrass people again......"

"That's what my Abba said?"

Long Xiaochuan frowned, why is it so difficult to do something, even if his father doesn't support it, he still makes a stumbling block......

He decided to go to Long Zaitian to discuss: "See if you can do this, just borrow your ID card to register your name, you may not really be allowed to play during the game, if you don't want to go, stay at home and wait for our good news." ”

Long Zaitian was carrying a bamboo basket to cut honey, and pushed him out of the door: "I said, the Leizhai basketball team will be handed over to you in the future, and we old people will not be involved." If you're short of people, you'll look for them again...... There are still many people out there to find. ”

He seemed to have something to say, but Long Xiaochuan didn't hear it, so he just complained: "How can it be so easy, in this year, the most difficult thing is to recruit people, recruit useful people." ”

"What is easy in this world? You don't want to endure hardship, you just want to eat food, you don't do any work in the past few days when you go back to the village, just know what you can do if you play on the court? Get out of the way, I'm not as idle as you, we have to make a living. ”

"It's not like doing nothing, training is still necessary." Long Xiaochuan grabbed him: "That's it, let's go cut honey too, everyone will definitely do what they can in the village when they come back." ”

"It's up to you, come on, you young people can't do this kind of deadly work."

"How do you know if you don't try? If you don't learn, you will never, which of the warriors of Lei Zhai will not have to pass this hurdle. ”

Long Xiaochuan was stubborn and snatched the bamboo basket and carried it on his back.

In Lei Village, only the bravest and most capable people are qualified to become the leader of the whole village, and judging whether they meet the conditions includes tests such as going up the ladder, going down to the sea of fire, and cutting the cliff honey.

There are tricks to go up the knife ladder and down the sea of fire, which mainly tests courage; The real danger, even fatal, are the high-altitude work projects such as cliff cutting honey and rock fungus.

Long Xiaochuan's generation of young people had not yet participated in honey harvesting activities, so he gathered members of the basketball team to go to the mountains to experience and learn.

Before the honey-cutting team set off, the old and young women and children left behind in the village came, and watched the dragon preside over the ceremony of worshipping the mountain god in the field, and lined up to send each other off, praying for the safe return of these warriors.

There were 8 people who went out this time, Long Zaitian, Luo Xiangdong, and Sun Shengli were responsible for leading the team to teach experience, and five young people including Long Xiaochuan and Pan Lei mainly went to the mountains to open their eyes.

The journey up the mountain was particularly arduous, and they had to climb and trek all day to reach the bottom of the honey-harvesting cliffs, carrying hemp ropes, rattan ladders, long knives, plastic buckets, bee-proof suits, medicine boxes and food.

Thundering Mountain is a typical karst landform, with high mountains, dense forests and ravines, and many surface caves hidden under vegetation, which are difficult to rescue once you fall into them.

Only the experienced old mountain people knew the way to the wild beehive, and they walked through the forest in long clothes and trousers, covered with thistles and xanthus, and their faces and necks were covered in blood from sharp blades of grass.

These hardships are pediatric compared to the danger of climbing a cliff tens or even hundreds of meters high in the thick smoke and being besieged by a swarm of bees while hanging in mid-air to cut honey.

After walking for more than half a day to reach the first destination, I could see four or five golden beehives hanging in the depression of the mountain dozens of meters above the ground, all of which were large discs with a diameter of nearly two meters, which looked like corn tortillas at first glance from a distance.

Luo Xiangdong instructed the young man to light a fire at the bottom of the cliff, threw some wet wood into it, and immediately smoked out and went high.

When the swarm became sluggish after encountering the smoke, Long Zaitian put on a protective suit with a gauze mesh mask, tied hemp rope, a long knife and a plastic bucket around his waist, and prepared to climb the vine ladder.

He called his son to his side: "The rule of the ancestors, leave a last word before going up the ladder......"

"Bah, don't talk nonsense, if you don't have faith, I'll go!"

"Look down there, there's a lot to learn. I know in my heart that this trip will be blessed by the mountain god and nothing will happen. I just want to say, the level of your basketball team is not very good, and it is still far from winning Yucun, if not, you can go and get your uncle back, it's okay to have him. ”

"Isn't there no news from Uncle? Where can I find him? ”

"Then it's up to you."

Long Zaitian began to climb upwards without looking back.

When he arrives at the hive, he first ignites wormwood, numbs the colony with smoke, and gently drives away the colony with vine branches and leaves.

Everywhere the branches and leaves went, the tens of thousands of earth bees were like the waves of the sea, and together they stirred their wings to make a huge buzzing sound, which made people's scalps tingle.

Long Xiaochuan shouted with concern below: "Be careful." ”

A small swarm of bees was disturbed and swooped down with a thud.

The "big ass" was so frightened that his face changed suddenly, and he hugged his head and ran away, and everyone else wanted to run, but was stopped by Sun Shengli in a low voice: "Don't panic, pull the rope and ladder!" ”

The seniors just added two handfuls of fresh leaves to the fire, and the smoke blocked the attack of the earth bees.

The dragon above was also affected, he was crawling with earth bees, and the layers were dense as if he was wearing a thick sweater, but fortunately he was experienced and did not pounce or struggle.

The earth bee made a fuss for a while, and gradually regained its calm under the effect of the smoke, and then he pulled out his waist knife, which was more than a meter long, to cut the hive.

There were only pollen and bee pupae in those large golden discs like tortillas, and after they were cut off, they were allowed to fall down, and Luo Xiangdong and others were responsible for cleaning up, and he was only responsible for finding the honey stored in the upper part of the hive.

A large piece of beeswax with honey was received by him into a plastic bucket, and slowly sent down with a rope, and the plastic bucket weighing dozens of pounds had to be slowly lowered by his hands, and the whole process was hung on the rattan ladder, all supported by his legs and waist and abdomen.

Long Zaitian cut about two buckets of honey and then stopped, leaving a third of the honey for the group of native bees to recuperate, and then cut again in the second half of the year.

If too little honey is left, the bee colony will migrate due to famine, and the gains outweigh the losses.

It was already getting dark, so he came down to rest, and it took him half a day to travel today, and he was delayed for a long time to disturb the swarm, and finally only cut one hive and took two buckets of honey.

They stayed in the mountains that night, cutting down a few plantain trees and building a makeshift shelter to serve as shelter, and munching on dry food around the fire to satisfy their hunger.

Long Zaitian settled accounts for the young people, and today he collected a total of two barrels of about 40 catties of wild honey with beeswax, and after cleaning up, one bucket can be sold for more than 1,000 yuan, plus bee chrysalis and other ancillary products, about 2,500 yuan.

"We can cut back 200 catties of honey this time, and we can almost earn more than 15,000 yuan. As long as we are diligent and willing to endure hardships, the mountains will not be hungry for us. ”

The older generation nodded their heads, deeply agreed,

But Long Xiaochuan was indignant: "No, is this how you have been buying and selling for so many years?" Do you guys know how much authentic wild honey can sell for online? You're at a loss! ”
