It starts with the production team driving the big truck

Chapter 147 Just find yourself a light life!
The horseshoes make a crunching sound when they step on the ice. The newly nailed horseshoes are equipped with rubber pads, which greatly improves the anti-slip performance and allows the horses to walk on the ice as smoothly as possible.

After a few days of rest, Oolongma was full of energy again. The guy raised his head, took a deep breath of moist cold air, sneezed loudly, and hissed with excitement!
Entering the mountains!
"Drive!" Sun Jianping gently pinched the horse's belly. The black horse threw out its four long legs, rushed through the cavalry like a gust of wind, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye!
"This horse is really good!" Zhang Ziyi looked at Sun Jianping with envy as he jumped on his horse, whipped his whip, and galloped freely. He was reminded of his own youth.

"It's not that bad. This kid Jianping has really poisonous eyes. He spent a hundred yuan to buy such a good horse!" Wang Liansheng was also full of praise.

"Then you have to say that those who have studied in college are more capable than us. We old farmers only know how to farm, and we are so blind..."

Everyone was talking, and Zhang Ziyi turned around and said, "Old Cao, Old Cao! Damn, your ears are stuffed with chicken feathers. Why isn't Old Xu here today?"

"I'm asking for leave!" Lao Cao replied, slowly smoking his pipe.

"Can I still do some work after wiping it all day long..." Zhang Ziyi didn't ask further, picked up the whip and cracked it!
"drive!"

Looking around, the vast Greater Khingan Mountains, vast wilderness, snow-covered sky, iron-gray Khingan larch forest and white tall birch forest spread over the hillside, exuding a steely loneliness and desolation.

Spring came early this year. Although it has not yet reached the Lantern Festival of the first lunar month and the temperature is still a few degrees below zero, the snow on some sunny slopes has already begun to melt. The slopes are full of ice shells that have melted and solidified. Once you step on them, The ice shell exploded with a snap, leaving behind radial footprints.

Sun Jianping jumped off the horse, stepped heavily on the ice shell with his feet, held the horse's reins in his hand and looked around.

This is a clearing in the mountains, with a ravine sandwiched between two mountains. The melted and frozen snow in the ravine has frozen into flat ice surfaces, like white mirrors strung together.

"Just right here!"

Lao Cao got off the sledge and walked around the sunny slope. He nodded with satisfaction and asked everyone to unload the truck and set up tents!

This trip into the mountains was different from the previous ones. The main reason was to look for hickory wood to make gun stocks. However, in the vast mountains, old and good hickory wood was so rare that even Lao Cao himself was not sure.

Try your luck!

Sun Jianping tied the horse's reins to the black horse's legs, so that the horse could only lower its head to eat grass and could not run. He pinched the horse's ears and let it nibble the grass obediently, and then ran to help Wang Liansheng. Waiting for someone to chop wood and build a horse frame.

"Uncle Liansheng, what kind of wood is this?"

In just a moment, Wang Liansheng and Xu Jinshui sawed down a tree as thick as a bowl. Sun Jianping picked up an ax and chopped off all the large branches. His eyes fell on a huge tree next to it that was two meters wide. On the tree stump, he asked curiously.

"This is red pine wood, it must be hundreds of years old!"

Wang Liansheng glanced at it, patted the sawdust on his body, and smiled.

Sun Jianping picked up the ax and chopped it at the huge red pine stake. He looked at the orange stubble inside and nodded slightly.

People are divided into three, six or nine grades, and the same wood is also divided into high, medium and low grades.

The best wood in Daxinganling is yellow cypress (yellow pineapple, yellow glass), pecan, manchurian ash, purple linden, etc. Because the above types of wood are hard, dense, and have beautiful textures, they are high-end materials for making furniture. People flock to them. After hundreds of years of logging, the surviving numbers are extremely rare.

Followed by Xing'an larch, Korean pine, Pinus sylvestris, etc. These woods are tall and straight, have strong resistance to pressure, and prefer to break rather than bend. They are good woods commonly used in construction.

As for willows, poplars, elms, etc., they are classified as inferior because of shortcomings such as loose wood, single texture, and easy deformation, and are generally only used as firewood for fires.

However, low-grade wood also has advantages. Just talking about poplar trees, they grow quickly, have light wood, and are easy to harvest. In less than a moment, Wang Liansheng and Xu Jinshui had killed more than a dozen aspen trees.

Sun Jianping clinked his ax and cut off all the redundant branches. After a while, he repaired several straight pieces of wood. Lao Cao, holding a pipe in his mouth, a rope ruler and a pencil, marked on the wood. , waving to Zhang Ziyi, "Come here, come here, and cut the saw according to the marks I made!"

"You old man, you're just looking for a light job for yourself!" Zhang Ziyi came over with an angry voice and picked up a new hand saw with sharp mistakes. With a few clicks, he cut the poplar wood as thick as a bowl. "Just let me do it and you'll be done with it, you'll be covered in ink!"

Lao Cao clasped his hands behind his back and walked slowly and leisurely around the hillside. He smiled and said, "This place is good. There is an old saying, being close to the mountains makes you ambitious, and being close to the water makes you smart. The feng shui of this place is good. Wait. Once the horse rack is repaired, if you and your wife come to live here, Lao Zhang, you will probably have three more fat boys!"

Sun Jianping was shocked!
The little old man has made his mark!

Everyone has learned how to use poetry and songs!

"piss off!"

Lao Zhang was so angry that his eyes turned blue!
Don't mention your son to me!
Three young men are waiting for him to feed them!

"Jianping, take a look at your uncle Zhang's wicked virtues. Say a few words to him and he will become impatient!" Lao Cao chuckled, "Hurry up, Lao Zhang, don't do it. Look at what you are sawing and the dog." It's like gnawing. You take your gun and go to the woods to get some food, I'm already hungry."

"Day after day, I have to serve you, old man!" Zhang Ziyi handed the hand saw to Lao Cao, picked up the 38-meter cover from the horse sledge, grabbed a handful of bullets from the cloth bag and stuffed it into his pocket, "Jianping, let's go , go for a walk in the woods with uncle!"

"You go alone, didn't you see Jianping busy! He's too old to see!"

The two brothers started fighting again.

"You are a little bastard captain and a big-ass official. You are in charge of everything but our family's peace. Go away and don't let him do that!" Zhang Ziyi snatched the ax from his hand and threw it on the ground. "Uncle will lead you to hunt roe deer!"

"Uncle Cao, I'll go first!"

Sun Jianping was elated!

Chopping wood is not as fun as hunting in the mountains!
"Go, go!" Lao Cao waved his hands with a smile, picked up the ax and saw, sat on the wood, and started chopping.

"Uncle, are we entering the deep mountains and forests now?"

Sun Jianping turned around and looked at the campsite in the ravine, making a mental note to avoid finding his way back through Mada Mountain later.

"Where is this?"

The two men climbed to the top of the mountain and looked south. From a high position, they could vaguely see small black dots in the distance, which were where the people in the mountains settled.

"Did you see that? That's the Red Star Forest Farm..."

Zhang Ziyi pointed behind him, and Sun Jianping saw a large, regular black spot suddenly appeared in the vast forest, with a thin black line running through it like a blood vessel. He nodded slightly. This was the "north" that Tian Guangming and the others had mentioned. Forest Farm"!

"I'm just thinking about getting your brother to work there, but it's difficult!"

Zhang Ziyi sighed and stared at Hongxing Forest Farm, his eyes becoming sharper.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed quickly through the dense jungle!

"Fuck, big deal!"

Zhang Ziyi shouted, threw away his long legs and chased after him!
