Chapter 138 Going up the mountain
Early in the morning, thirteen people dressed warmly and went straight into the mountains.
In the past, perhaps everyone was reluctant to let female educated youth go into the mountains, mainly because they were worried about their safety.
But ever since Song Moting started hunting with these young men in the mountains, these people have become more and more courageous. They can even kill wild boars, so what are they worried about? They feel that there is strength in numbers.
So today I took the two female educated youth into the mountains.
The sky is gloomy.
The north wind was blowing, making people feel that such weather was a precursor to the coming of heavy snow.
Jiang Xiaoxiao followed Jia Shu, and the two of them walked into the woods, taking one step forward and one step back.
This was the first time for both of them to come to the woods.
Of course Woodland has been there.
But there is a complete difference between woodland and dense forest.
In most cases, woodlands are not located in areas with dense forests.
Although there is little sunlight all year round and it is rather cold, the forest at least has an open terrain.
But the woods are completely different. They are dense forests on the mountains with overgrown vegetation. And because the climate here is cold, there are some places where the snow never melts all year round.
Even though the first heavy snow has not fallen here yet, the depth of the snow in some places in the forest is enough to be frightening.
Jiang Xiaoxiao could feel the coldness of her fingers even with gloves on.
He rubbed it and smiled at Jia Shu who was looking at him with concern.
"It's okay. I haven't started working yet, so the blood circulation in my body is not good, so I feel cold. I guess I won't feel so cold when I really start chopping trees and firewood.
”
Because the forest farm has regulations that there is an area range where they can cut down trees, and they can only cut down specific trees within this range.
Otherwise, it will harm the future growth of trees in the forest farm.
The forest farm has strict rules and regulations, but sometimes people still violate them. However, as long as it is not a big mistake, the forest farm generally does not care too much. However, the educated youth still abided by the rules.
When we came into this range, we found that this side was facing south.
In the southern part of this mountain, trees grow very fast naturally because there is plenty of sunlight.
Therefore, the trees they can cut down are also within this range. As long as they plant new trees after cutting them down, it will not cause much damage to the environment.
Especially this place, it must have been struck by some lightning, which knocked down many trees. These trees have already dried up.
When they arrived, the first thing they did was to cut down the fallen and dry trees.
After all, it has been dried very well, so it will be very useful as fuel if we burn it at home.
Several people immediately gathered around the trees and began to work together. The trees had already fallen to the ground, so they were naturally easy to cut down.
Of course, remove the small branches first, and then cut the large and thick trunks into several sections.
The boys would carry them back or drag them with ropes to the yard, where they would then be processed into small pieces of firewood.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu found a small tree, and the strength of the two of them was enough to do this.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was holding an axe at one end of the tree, trying to remove the thin branches.
I haven't done this job for many years, and when I saw this scene, my blood really boiled.
It's not that she is a masochist, it's because she has done this job for many years.
After all, I am experienced.
With one swipe of the axe, she cut off the small branches. Jia Shu was a little worried about her.
But she knew that Jiang Xiaoxiao was brought up in a pampered environment at home, and she didn't know if she could do such heavy work.
She was suspicious, mainly because she was afraid that Jiang Xiaoxiao would hurt herself with the axe.
Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw Jiang Xiaoxiao working very efficiently. With just a few moves of the axe, the branches were separated very neatly.
I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh.
Some people are just gifted and can do anything at a glance. Unlike me, I am so stupid.
This time he concentrated on using the axe to deal with the branches and twigs on his side.
By the time the two men had cut the sapling into several sections and tied them up with ropes, it had become a large bundle.
Jia Shu looked at it and said, "I'll carry the firewood back, and you can help them pick up the thin branches here."
Jia Shu was afraid that Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't do heavy work.
Jiang Xiaoxiao did not refuse Jia Shu's kindness. After all, this body was not the one she had in her previous life.
I have gone through so many years of hardship and training in my previous life, so of course I am not afraid of any heavy work.
But I have been spoiled all my life. No matter what kind of work I do with this body, especially heavy work, I get exhausted.
Although I tried hard to change my life in my previous life, some things cannot be changed just like that.
These few months of farm life were not enough for her body to fully adapt.
Just then, she saw Song He Aiguo and Gu Dali chopping down a big tree.
Immediately came over to help.
He Aiguo glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Jia Shu, who was carrying firewood and walking down the mountain.
"Xiaoxiao, you and Dali stay here to chop wood. I'll take that bundle of wood back and come back soon."
As he spoke, he picked up the pile of firewood that was two men tall and strode down.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled. She had always thought that He Aiguo and her elder brother were definitely the best friends in their previous life.
But it seems that He Aiguo's orientation is absolutely correct, he likes women.
My mind is twisted.
In his previous life, He Aiguo and his elder brother were assigned to a farm, while he and Jia Shu were assigned to another farm.
Perhaps it was the result of the flapping of wings after I came back, a lot of things changed. My eldest brother did not come to the farm, and He Aiguo was instead grouped together with me and Jia Shu.
In other words, He Aiguo and Jia Shu had no intersection in their previous life, but they developed feelings for each other in this life.
Both of them came from poor family backgrounds.
They are all people who are loved and cared for by no one.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with two people keeping each other warm. He Aiguo's personality and Jia Shu can complement each other. He Aiguo is cheerful and kind, while Jia Shu is quiet and steady. If the two are together, they are actually a good couple.
In their previous life, both of them lived a lonely and miserable life. If they can be together in this life and walk a new path, maybe they can both find happiness.
She believed that He Aiguo could bring happiness to Jia Shu.
Besides, I didn't bring the two of them together. They were in a free love relationship and it had nothing to do with her.
This could at best be called a marriage made in heaven, and the only thing he wanted to do was to ensure that both of them could return to the city smoothly in the future and get everything they deserved.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was chopping down the tree hard. This tree was different from the one she had just chopped down.
The small tree should have been completely dry and would have been easy to chop down, but this tree seemed to be half dry. When the axe was chopped down, the axe got embedded in the trunk and the trunk was not chopped down.
