This city boy has very good physical fitness. He looks lean and skinny, but his exposed arms and legs are covered with a thin layer of muscle with beautiful lines. He must have a habit of regular fitness. Even so, faced with the muddy and slippery mountain road after an autumn rain, he had no choice but to walk with his cane, staggering with every step. His clothes and pants were covered in mud, and his short crew cut was covered with a thick layer of gel, but he still looked handsome and stylish.
The crew members came out with him, some carrying cameras and walking in front of him, some carrying cameras and walking behind him, capturing his miserable appearance from all angles. He squatted on a wet stone, panting heavily, and tried hard to stare at the unscrupulous people who were laughing at him.
There was only one mountain road, and Lin Dan had no choice but to pass through the middle of the team.
When the young man saw her, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Hei girl, why haven't I seen you recently?"
Black girl? Lin Dan was slightly stunned, but didn't say anything to him and just walked away.
The boy was not angry, and said to the camera: "I have been treated like a monkey by the children in the village all day long. I have never seen anyone as cool as the black girl. They are not curious about what we do and just walked past us calmly. This girl is quite interesting." After he finished speaking, he twirled his fingers and asked: "Brother, do you have cigarettes? Give me one?"
Naturally, the staff ignored him, so he just said it without expecting them to really give him a cigarette. He narcissistically wiped his hair and continued walking up the mountain.
Finally they arrived at the designated forest farm of Liuxing Village, and the boy picked up a hatchet and started working. The Zhou family had used up all their firewood, and the two little friends were so hungry that they asked him to chop some firewood to cook, otherwise he would not have come out on a rainy day. The firewood was soaked by the rain, and it would take a lot of effort to bring it back and light it. Why bother?
He boasted of his immense strength, and when he saw a sturdy old tree he began to chop it down, one cut, two cuts, three cuts... After dozens of cuts, only a layer of bark fell off the old tree, but he was already so tired that he was panting and could not even stand. Two photographers circled around him, capturing his miserable appearance from all angles.
His cheeks flushed with shame, but he refused to admit that he was no good, so he rubbed the edge of the axe with his fingertips and sighed, "This axe is no good, the blade is bent. Today I finally understand the wisdom of our ancestors, sharpening the axe does not delay the chopping of wood, this is so true."
Several staff members suppressed their laughter and pointed at Lin Dan who was not far away.
The boy stretched his neck to take a look, then immediately hid the hatchet behind him. The two photographers who were following her had already pointed their cameras at the dark and thin girl, filming her with great concentration.
Lin Dan also chose a sturdy old tree, then swung the hatchet and chopped the trunk in a few strokes, leaving only a thin layer of stem and skin. Then he kicked the tree crown with his foot, and the tree crown fell down with a crash. His movements were extremely graceful. After finishing, she squatted down and cut off the thin branches, leaving only a few thick trunks. She then cut the trunks into wooden stakes of uniform length, tied them up in bundles with vines, and put them into the huge backpack.
It only took her a dozen minutes to finish dealing with an old tree. The hatchet was wielded by her so hard that it gleamed coldly and made shadowy shadows. Wherever she chopped, the tree was cut in half with a sound. Her hands and feet were extremely nimble, and it was obvious that she was used to doing heavy work.
The tall boy looked at her in amazement, looking a little silly.
Lin Dan had noticed this group of people a long time ago, but she didn't have the time to deal with them as there was still a lot of work waiting for her to do at home. After chopping down a tree, she raised her eyes and glanced at the city boy, only to see his cheeks suddenly turn red, and then he quickly turned his head away, pretending to study a tree next to him seriously.
Seeing this, Lin Dan withdrew his gaze and continued to busy himself. She has to register for school tomorrow and go to school the day after tomorrow. She was afraid that there would not be enough firewood at home, so she wanted to get more at once, so she picked out an old tree and chopped it down in two or three strokes. She didn't know why, but as long as she picked up the knife, she felt like she could do anything. She could even chop people, let alone wood. To chop down an old tree, she usually only needs three cuts, and then kicks it with her foot.
Perhaps stimulated by her clean and neat movements, the tall boy suddenly became energized and swung his hatchet to chop a tree next to him. After that, he kicked the tree as well, but was bounced back by the strong trunk and sat down on the wet ground.
The two photographers who were following him still captured his embarrassing appearance. His lips were trembling as if he was trying to hold back his laughter. Lin Dan, who was trimming some extra branches, couldn't help but glance at him.
It was okay to be laughed at by the staff, as the boy had gotten used to it over the days anyway. But for some reason, he couldn't stand it when the black girl looked at him. His fair face turned red and his head was about to smoke.
Lin Dan retracted his gaze, pointed at the thin branches he didn't want and said, "Chopping wood is a technical job. You can't do it without experience. You can bundle these branches together. At least they can last for a few days." After that, he put the bundled wood stakes back where they were, and walked deeper into the forest carrying a snakeskin bag. The fir forest after the rain will grow many fir mushrooms, which are rare delicacies. She wants to get some back to cook dinner.
The boy stared at her back for a while, and only when she completely disappeared into the forest did he impatiently pick up the dead branches. The dead branches were all cut off by Lin Dan, and they were of neat lengths and tied together with vines. They looked surprisingly pleasing to the eye, giving the impression of being made by a professional woodcutter.
"The black girl has obsessive-compulsive disorder. See, all her firewood is the same length." The boy said to the photographer who was following her.
The photographer took a close-up shot of the firewood stacked high, looking neat and beautiful. The director had already told them to pay attention to the movements of the black girl next door when filming, because she has a strong personality and is very dramatic. But the little girl left Liuxing Village the next day, and after a long time they forgot about it. Now that the little girl is finally back, the two photographers finally understand why the director can be a director. What people said is absolutely right. This little girl is really amazing!
"Okay, that's enough firewood for today, let's go back." The young man put three bundles of dead branches into the backpack, and when he stood up, his waist flipped and he almost fell to the ground.
"Why is it so heavy? No, you have to help me hold it." The boy rubbed his waist with a grimace.
With the help of two cameramen, the boy finally managed to carry the backpack, and then walked back to Liuxing Village step by step. It is said that going up a mountain is easier than going down, and this is indeed true. The road is too slippery and steep, and the backpack is too heavy. If I lean forward a little, I will fall headfirst, and if I bend backward a little, I will sit down. It is really like walking on a tightrope.
The tall boy's calves were shaking, especially when he reached a steep staircase where he could not take a single step. He could only sit on a stone nearby and wipe the cold sweat off his face. He hesitated in front of the steps several times, and sat back several times, saying repeatedly: "No, no, I'm afraid of heights. You have to help me get the backpack down, otherwise you'll have to wait for my body to be collected."
However, as soon as he finished saying this, he stood up quickly, his frightened expression was replaced by a calm look, with one hand in his trouser pocket, looking extremely calm. The photographer took a picture from behind him and saw the dark-skinned girl walking slowly towards him, holding a hatchet in one hand and a snakeskin bag in the other. The huge backpack was filled with firewood, which looked to weigh at least 100 to 200 kilograms.
Her body was very thin, but the backpack was surprisingly large. From a distance, it looked like a thin stick supporting an iron tower.
The tall boy looked at her intently, then couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and dared not show any sign of effort. Compared with the weight that the black girl was carrying, his bundles of dead branches were nothing! So embarrassing!
When Lin Dan came close to him, he immediately said, "My shoelaces are loose, I need to tighten them, you go down first."
The two photographers looked at each other, their shoulders shaking from trying so hard to hold back their laughter. Did the girl ask you why you are standing there like an idiot? Will you take the initiative to explain it to others?
Lin Dan nodded silently and went down, moving like a small mountain.
The young man was worried for her and couldn't help asking, "Can you do it? How about I help you carry the firewood down one bundle at a time?"
"Thank you, but no thanks." Lin Dan walked down the stairs steadily. The muddy ground did not cause any hindrance to her at all. Looking at the deep footprints she left on the ground, the young man was stunned. Then, somehow, a surge of courage emerged in his heart, and he immediately went down with the basket on his back.
The two photographers were thinking of pulling his backpack from behind to help him up, but his ankle twisted and he fell down.
The two photographers' minds went blank. They were about to throw away their expensive cameras and run down to save the man, but they saw that the dark-skinned girl seemed to have eyes on her back. She turned sideways and stopped the boy who jumped into her arms. She threw the hatchet and snakeskin bag in her hand to the side of the road. She held the boy's collar with one hand and the backpack on his back with the other, lifted him up, and placed him on a step higher than herself.
"Be careful." She warned him calmly, then took off the boy's backpack, threw her own hatchet and bag into it, and carried it down the stairs.
When they reached the flat ground, she tied the boy's firewood to her own firewood pile, left the empty backpack there, and said, "You carry this." After that, she walked straight towards the village.
It all happened so fast. When the boy broke free from his fear, Lin Dan had already walked a long way away.
The boy's cheeks flushed, and he immediately ran to the steps in two steps, picked up the backpack, and hurriedly chased after Lin Dan, asking, "Hei girl, my name is Kang Shaojie, what's your name? Let's be friends, shall we? Thank you for what you did just now. You are so good at fighting, have you practiced kung fu? You know, you were so awesome just now..."
The two photographers followed in shock, checked the camera, and found that the scene had been captured. They felt both scared and secretly happy. This little girl is really amazing. She looks cold, but she is very helpful and efficient in everything she does, as if nothing can stump her.
[Like a chivalrous woman.] 】One of the photographers typed a line of words on the WeChat chat interface and handed it to his companion.
Another photographer nodded in agreement.
