With a nervous mood, Meng Fei answered the phone.
The forest ranger's low voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Meng Fei, didn't you ask me before if there were any strange things happening near the White Bone Peak? There really weren't any before, but something strange happened in the past two days. When I was patrolling the mountain, I found several animal carcasses, including roe deer and elk.
It's normal to find animal carcasses in the mountains, but the strange thing is that all the animal carcasses I found were intact, with only a thumb-sized hole on the neck. This is very strange, as if all the blood had been drunk!
In all my years in Daxing'anling, I have never heard of any animal that only drinks blood and does not eat meat! Could it be that the mosquito has become a spirit? ? "
Meng Fei's heart sank, and he quickly said, "Uncle, don't go up the mountain these two days, just stay at home. If you really want to go up the mountain, remember to bring the tranquilizer gun and the Diaosi Wolf. I have something to deal with here, and I will rush over as soon as I finish it!!"
"Hey! What are you doing here? It's not a big deal. Don't worry. I've lived in this mountain for so many years. Apart from encountering a tiger with cubs, I can still escape from other things. Don't worry."
Seeing that the forest ranger uncle didn't take it seriously, Meng Fei could only sigh: "Okay, then you should be careful."
The two exchanged a few more polite words and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Fei felt a little uneasy.
However, there is no way to rush some things, Meng Fei can only find something to do to distract himself.
Previously, my second uncle wanted Wang Dabiao to help make a set of cabinets. It happened that Wang Dabiao was free now, so he took the opportunity to replace the furniture before the New Year.
At this time, Wang Dabiao was watching a group of small animals playing in the backyard.
Seeing Meng Fei coming, he hurried over and asked.
"Meng Fei, have you found it?"
Meng Fei shook his head: "Not yet, wait a little longer, maybe he is still alive."
Wang Dabiao also sighed. Although he had never seen the two golden monkeys, he could tell from Meng Fei's expression that they seemed to have a good relationship.
Meng Fei let out a long breath, then said, "Old Wang, if you have nothing to do these days, why don't you help my second uncle and his family get a set of furniture? I think the cabinets in my second uncle's house are in a bad state, and it's time to replace them. If you need anything, just let me know."
When Wang Dabiao heard that he had something to do, he immediately became energetic.
"I don't need anything. I can just use the mortise and tenon structure. It's durable. Just this kind of wood... You have to go to the county to buy it. Ordinary poplar and pine trees are not prohibited from being used. They will break down in a few years."
Hearing what Lao Wang said, Meng Fei suddenly thought of the pile of wood in his backyard.
The pile of wood was cut by grandpa in the mountains and had been piled up for many years. Grandpa even joked with Meng Fei at the time, saying that if he died in the future, he could use the pile of wood to make a coffin for him.
Meng Fei was timid and didn't take it seriously.
But now when I think about it, I feel bad.
However, the texture of the wood is indeed very good. The pile of wood has been there since Meng Fei could remember. It has been 20 years, and the wood is still there. When Meng Fei just returned to the village, he had no firewood to burn, so he pulled a few pieces of wood out of the pile.
What surprised Meng Fei was that after more than 20 years of erosion, the wood was still intact, without a single crack or worm hole on the surface.
"Lao Wang, I have some wood at home, see if you can use it."
Lao Wang shook his head. "I don't think so. Now the good wood in the mountains has become a protected species, and there are fewer and fewer of them. A few years ago, I could occasionally see ash trees, but in the past two years, all I can see are synthetic boards. The smell of glue makes my head hurt."
"Take a look first. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the county to buy it."
After saying that, Meng Fei walked towards the corner of the backyard.
Seeing this, Wang Dabiao hurriedly followed behind.
In the corner of the backyard, there is a pile of wood, all covered with plastic sheets to prevent water seepage.
Meng Fei and Wang Dabiao walked up to it and lifted a corner of the plastic sheet.
I saw dark wood logs neatly stacked into a pile. Each log was as thick as a bucket, and the cross-section was covered with exquisite patterns like water waves.
When Wang Dabiao saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out and he exclaimed in surprise.
"Ash!!! And it's so thick!! Oh my goodness!! How many of them are there in such a big pile!!!"
Wang Dabiao opened his mouth wide, looking surprised.
Meng Fei wasn't interested in the wood, but judging from Wang Dabiao's expression, it should be about the same.
"Old Wang, is this wood okay?"
Wang Dabiao closed his jaw with difficulty, with surprise in his eyes.
“Yes!!! This is so good!!!
This wood is called elm. It is very hard and has excellent elasticity. The furniture made from it will not deteriorate all year round and can also repel insects and prevent moisture.
And it looks like these woods are decades old! They are the best material for making furniture.
"Meng Fei! Where did you get so many ash trees in your house? You know, if you sell these ash trees, you will have to sell them for at least three to five million! Aren't you losing money by making furniture?"
Meng Fei waved his hand after hearing this: "It's okay, just do it. There are still so many of them. A few cabinets won't take much. You can see the time. If there is enough time, make a set for me too."
Wang Dabiao couldn't calm down for a long time.
As a carpenter, he is well aware of the preciousness of elm wood. Now the price of elm wood furniture is increasing rapidly every year, and is even catching up with rosewood.
And Meng Fei actually owns a whole pile of elm wood!
And they are all elm trees that are over a hundred years old!
This grade is rare in the market!
After a moment, Wang Dabiao came back to his senses from his shock, and was replaced by excitement.
A good carpenter is not judged by how many cabinets he has made or how many jobs he has done.
But it depends on whether there are any good works!
And this elm is the best material he has ever seen in his life!
He must use these materials to create a set of his best works!
Thinking of this, Wang Dabiao was delighted and said excitedly: "Meng Fei!! Leave your cabinet to me!!! I will definitely make you the most beautiful cabinet!!! I guarantee you will be satisfied!!!"
Meng Fei nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help. The tools and other things are all in the warehouse. You can get them yourself. Tell me if you need anything."
Wang Dabiao nodded repeatedly, but his eyes were always attracted by the pile of wood. The look in his eyes was as if he was seeing a sexy girl.
