Chapter 121: A Good Well

After encountering a black bear in the mountain, Gao Mingcheng went down the mountain with a painful face, and at the same time moved his beehives to another location.

Because he was afraid that the black bear would go down the mountain to the village, he didn't dare to put the beehive at the foot of the mountain, but he also put it in another place, hoping to avoid the black bear's theft.

He made a total of 20 beehives, and after counting them one by one, he found that 16 beehives had been stolen by black bears, and only four beehives survived due to their relatively hidden locations.

This loss is too great, and Gao Mingcheng is not happy.

However, life is not smooth sailing, there will always be some stumbles, and solving these problems is also a kind of cultivation in life.

At first, he wanted to use vines to make a trap around the beehive, but he rejected himself, because the black bear's strength is too strong for a few vines to stop, and even if he uses a steel wire, he may not be able to trap the black bear.

In the end, he had to find as much seclusion as possible, hide the hives there, and be more diligent when patrolling in the future.

Black bears are also afraid of people, and if they are often seen near beehives, they may not come and steal honey again.

After all, this area should not be the place where it is used to living.

In the evening, Gao Mingcheng carried the three hares down the mountain, and halfway up the mountain, he could faintly see the dim lights in the houses at the foot of the mountain, and in the chimney above the kitchen, there were curling green smoke.

Pushing the door into the courtyard, Gao Mingcheng saw that the well had been dug for about six or seven meters, and there was a large amount of yellow muddy water at the bottom.

The water is turbid, it can't be used yet, and you have to keep digging!

Lao Zhang's father and son were both sitting against the wall, both father and son were smoking, smoking homemade cigarettes.

There are few fields in Dalong Village, but there are many mountains, and the people in their whole village love to smoke, and they will also grow tobacco leaves, and the terraces on the mountainside will be full of tobacco leaves, half of which will be smoked for themselves and half for sale.

Gao Mingcheng's father also likes to smoke, but he has never grown tobacco leaves, and those flue-cured tobaccos are bought with money, and then cut into shreds for later use.

Because growing tobacco leaves is not so easy!

After the tobacco leaves are planted, there are a series of processes, and then put them into the kang room to bake, and after baking and drying, the tobacco leaves need to be picked off one by one and placed neatly.

There are two ways to sell it, one is to sell the whole leaf, and the other is to cut it into shredded tobacco and sell it. Generally, if the tobacco leaves are of good quality, the seller will choose to sell the whole leaf, so the price is not low.

And those tobacco leaves that are not of good quality, as well as some broken tobacco leaves, will be shredded and mixed together.

After returning from rebirth, Gao Mingcheng had not touched a cigarette, and after greeting Lao Zhang's father and son, Gao Mingcheng carried the rabbit into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, a lot of beauty is cooking.

Gao Mingcheng sat in a clearing, skinning rabbits neatly, and talking to many beauties about what he had seen and heard in the mountains.

When she heard that Gao Mingcheng had met a black bear, many Mei immediately became nervous, she came to Gao Mingcheng's side, looked him up and down, and found no injuries, so she was relieved.

Then he said coquettishly, "Why did you go into the mountains?" It's just spring, there is little food in the mountains, and the wild boars are very fierce! Not to mention black bears, we have tigers in the mountains! When my father was there, he told me that there were tigers in the mountains, and that one of his playmates when he was a child was eaten by tigers. ”

"You're not allowed to go into the mountains, you know?"

In the face of his wife's order, what can Gao Mingcheng say? I can only smile and agree!

As for whether to go or not, it's not up to him to decide?

However, since encountering the black bear, he will be more vigilant when he enters the mountain again.

When he hunted wild boars last time, he was followed by jackals all the way, but fortunately he didn't fight, and now he has met a black bear again, maybe he can meet a South China tiger next time!

In '86, the number of these animals had decreased, but it was not to the point of being completely gone, and they were still active in the inaccessible mountains.

But because there is no ban on guns and hunting, their numbers will decrease little by little in the next ten years, until after the ban on hunting, they will be able to breathe as a protected animal.

When he went to bed that night, because there were strangers next door, he was not allowed to touch many beauties, and Gao Mingcheng didn't have this habit, so he was quite obedient.

After many beauties fell asleep, Gao Mingcheng sat cross-legged and took out the gold leaf paper.

After encountering the black bear today, Gao Mingcheng suddenly had a sense of crisis, if the black bear did not retreat, but pounced on him, he could not guarantee whether he would be able to fight the black bear.

Therefore, improving one's ability has become a top priority.

……

While the people at the foot of the mountain are busy with spring ploughing, the animals in the deep mountains are also ushering in the breeding period, and all kinds of courtship and various fights emerge in endlessly.

Another spring rain fell down, and the rain fell on the leaves, making them more and more verdant, and the new buds soon grew luxuriant, adding vitality to the world.

When the weather clears after the rain, the well of Gao Mingcheng's house has been drilled, it is not deep, only ten meters, but the spring has been opened, and the clear spring water comes out, and the water quality is much better in an instant.

After the muddy water from the bottom of the well is transported out again, the spring water gushes out of the well and becomes drinkable after it has been settled.

When they dig a well now, they will not lay bricks on the wall of the well, but will only build a circle of bricks and cement on the top of the well, about 15 centimeters, mainly to make the wellhead higher than the ground, which is more conspicuous.

In some places, it is half a meter high, but here they are not that high, because when there are children, a wooden board is taken to cover the mouth of the well, so that the naughty children do not fall into the well.

After Gao Mingcheng and many beauties tasted the well water, they were very satisfied with the well, and Gao Mingcheng gave Lao Zhang the wages for drilling the well.

Lao Zhang has always been silent, and after taking the money, he only said: "Gone." ”

Then he took his son with him, carrying a quilt on his back and a tool for digging a well.

With the departure of their father and son, everyone in the village also knew that Gao Mingcheng's family had drilled a well. People who have a good relationship with Gao Mingcheng came to see the situation, and after tasting the well water, they praised Gao Mingcheng for his good luck and hit a good well.

Wells are also divided into good and bad, if the place is not right, although it can also produce water, but the water quality is not good, if you choose the right place, such as there is a spring underground, etc., then after the spring is opened, the spring water gushes out, and the water quality will be much better than ordinary well water.

And even in times of drought, there will be springs gushing out, and it is not easy to completely dry up.

Many Mei said happily: "This water is no worse than the old well in the village, and it must be very good for making wine and tofu!" ”

Hearing the word tofu, Gao Mingcheng, who hadn't posted it for a few days, his eyes became deeper, he picked up a lot of beauty, and strode towards the house.

"I want to eat your tofu now, it's fragrant and tender!"
