Longing for mountain village life

Jiang Tian and his grandfather took the tools out of the house, and on the way they met people from the village and greeted them warmly.

Just saw the old village chief in a hurry.

"Why are you going, so anxious?" Grandpa asked.

The old village chief saw that it was his grandfather and said: "Go to the town for a meeting to discuss the appropriation, our village is too difficult to walk, the electricity is unstable, the signal is not good, the application has not been approved for several years, today I will ask." The

old village chief's expression was not very good, obviously he also knew the result, no way, most of the remaining villagers in Taoshan Village were old and sick, and the young people did not want to come back at all.

It can be said that now Taoshan Village exists in name only, and it is estimated that it will not take a few years, and when the remaining old guys are also dead, the village will be gone.

It's cruel to say, but that's the reality.

The people in the town also know the situation in Taoshan Village, so there is no allocation, after all, giving money to a half-dead village is a waste, and it is better to give other villages vigorous development.

The old village chief, grandfather, and the elders of these village committees are very clear in their hearts, that is, they are very complaining, but they actually understand the town's practice.

"Okay, go and ask." Grandpa nodded.

Watching the village chief leave, he sighed, "I don't know how many years I can last, I really want to die in the village."

Grandpa shook his head and did not continue to speak.

Jiang Tian did not say any words of comfort, if he wanted to change the status quo of the village, there was only one way, that is, he could make money.

Why do young people go to the city, they don't want to stay at home, so comfortable, they are not familiar with life outside, and they can't find anyone if something happens.

No way, in order to make money, in order to survive.

As long as they feel that the village can earn money and can feed the family, they will come back.

After the two entered the mountain forest, they were no longer silent.

Grandpa advised: "Be careful, even in the periphery, you must not be careless, maybe there will be wild boars, wild wolves and other beasts come out, and this situation did not happen in the past."

"It is said that we rely on the mountains and water, and our village is both relying on the mountains and water, and if the transportation is convenient, the villagers can completely catch fish and sell them in the town, and they can also increase their income."

"There are also a lot of Chinese medicinal materials in the mountains, and if you pick them and sell them, you can definitely make a lot of money, but you need to pay attention to the beasts."

"In the past, there were hunters in the village, so you didn't have to worry too much about the problem of wild beasts, but now it doesn't work, the hunters are gone, and there are no people who hunt wild beasts, and there are more wild beasts in the mountains, which makes the villagers even more afraid to enter the mountains."

"It's a pity, there are so many good things in the mountain, there is no way to make good use of it."

Jiang Tian nodded, it was true, when he was a child, he still remembered that there were hunters going up the mountain, and he could often catch wild rabbits, wild pheasants, wild boars and whatnot, and then it was gone.

As he spoke, he followed his grandfather deep into the mountains and forests, and he was still in the outer layer, not even the middle layer.

There are many fallen trees here, some have withered and decayed, some have regained new branches, and more are densely packed trees that are the thickness of a fist.

Grandpa said: "There are too many trees here, the old trees absorb nutrients too much, resulting in small trees not growing large, can only be so, in the past, villagers often came here to cut down trees, just so that the number of trees is a little less, so that they can grow bigger, now few people come here." Saying

that, Grandpa took a machete and chopped it, but with a few efforts, a small tree was cut down.

Cutting down trees here is for better tree growth.

Jiang Tian was also busy with a machete.

The speed of the two was very fast, but in a short time, they cut down dozens of trees.

Grandpa skillfully cut off the branches of the tree with a machete, and the trunk was chopped into several pieces and piled on the rope.

Soon, a mountain with a low tree trunk rises.

Grandpa tied the rope and tied it solidly, repeating the action.

Two more trunk mountains came out of the backs of the two.

"These woods can be used for almost a while, but you need to dry the moisture inside, and then come here a few times after a while, store more wood, otherwise after winter, it will be difficult to enter the mountain."

"Let's go, there is still enough time, and we will come back when the meeting comes."

The two returned home without delay.

But this time when they returned, they encountered some accidents.

Grandpa sniffed the sweet smell in the air, with an excited expression on his face, "It's honey, and the fragrance is transmitted, it must have been attacked, let's go and see."

"Be careful, the bees in the mountains are very powerful, a single sting will hurt for days, if it is stung by a swarm, if it is not treated in a short time, it is easy to be poisoned!"

They followed the aroma towards the source, with a slow pace, afraid that they would make too much noise.

After walking for about ten minutes, I saw that the weeds in front of me were stepped on by some kind of creature, and on the ground, there was a basketball-sized honeycomb, but it was broken, and there was a thick honey flowing out of it, and the sweetness was rich.

Grandpa walked over, "I didn't expect my luck to be so good today, and I picked up a honeycomb in vain." He

picked up the honeycomb and tilted it slightly to prevent the honey from flowing out of the broken area.

"Looking at the traces around, it should be caused by a blind bear, this thing likes to eat honey the most, even if it is stung, it is estimated that it was chased away by bees."

"Go back, luck is good, just to get you honey tea to drink."

Armed with the honeycomb and the wood, the two returned home.

Jiang Tian piled up wood in the corner of the yard, waiting for the moisture to dry before it could be used as firewood.

Grandpa took a clean iron basin from the house and placed it on the ground.

Wild honeycombs are different from domesticated ones in that they require a special nest base and a nest frame, which is placed on a honey shaker after collecting honey.

After a few efforts, Grandpa peeled off the outer layer of the hive, and the honey flowed down the nest and fell on the iron plate.

Sticky, amber-colored, with a strong sweet taste.

Grandpa said: "This is a good natural honey, definitely not those people's artificial processing of honey can be compared, honey this kind of thing, can clear heat and phlegm, cough, but also detoxification, weight loss, whitening, all kinds of uses."

"In the past, we used to eat this stuff as a candy to supplement our body's nutrients."

"Today you and Dong Shihao have a good time, just when he came all the way over, he must be dry mouth, heart stasis, when the time comes, drink a cup of honey tea to ensure refreshment."
