In the early winter morning, the mountains and forests are covered with white snow, which makes them look particularly quiet.

Huhuhu--

Liu Qingshan was spraying white air in his mouth, and he walked slowly through the mountains and forests.

In fact, under the cover of the snow, there is no shortage of vitality in the forest:

Chirping, and occasionally the clamor of magpies came from the trees.

The little squirrel poked out his little head from the tree hole, checked the movement, and then retracted keenly, holding the big hazelnut in his little paws, enjoying the fruits of his own labor.

Other animals are not so lucky and have to run around to survive, so all kinds of marks are left on the snow.

There is snow arched by wild boars and footprints left by various birds and beasts. In the middle of winter, survival is difficult.

But if they can survive in this harsh environment, their vitality is very tenacious.

Liu Qingshan ran like this while experiencing the unique charm of nature and finally came to the front of the wooden house.

Li Tieniu has already gotten up and is working hard under the guidance of the mute grandfather.

There is also a peak yawning next to it, and baskets are being taken out of the woodcut to dry the herbs inside.

There was a small shed next to the wooden house, and the little head of the deer was explored through it and looked around curiously.

"When you have time tomorrow, take out the inventory in your sachet!"

Liu Qingshan shouted, and the deer immediately retracted her head, making Liu Qingshan laugh.

"Senior Brother, you are back, let's practice." Li Tieniu rushed over and started to gesture to Liu Qingshan.

In the end, both of them were so tired that they lay on the snow, panting. Instead, the big bear who had just watched the lively for a long time was excited, and they slapped this and slapped that.

The breakfast was settled at Mu Keling. After they had dinner, Mr. Zhang also came with a dozen strong men with a shovel and pickaxe.

"Qingshan, it's frozen, what are we digging?" Zhang Dashuai asked with a dog-skin hat on his bald head.

In previous years, it was time to have a cat-winkle after the snow fell.

But now, we are basically idle, and the various labor groups in the cooperative also have a lot of work every day.

"Dig a few big trees and plant them in the wild vegetable factory." Liu Qingshan planned to move a few beautiful pine trees to the gate of the wild vegetable factory.

In late autumn, some small trees had moved past, basically all small beauties as thick as fists.

But if you want a big tree, the survival rate after transplanting is very low, so you didn’t dare to do it at that time, just waiting for winter.

"I have planted trees in spring and autumn, and I have never heard of them planting trees in the middle of winter." Everyone also felt that it was fresh.

Liu Qingshan explained to them: "We are moving big trees, and it must be done at this time. Trees are dormant in winter, and the water and nutrients in the body are not easily lost."

Everyone nodded when they heard this. A few years ago, when winter came, they would join the logging team organized by the forest farm and spend some pocket money. They all understood this truth.

When they cut trees here, the best season is winter. The trees are restrained and the wood is the hardest.

Liu Qingshan continued: "When we dig, we should bring more old roots and soil. When the next spring comes, the trees will wake up and take root again."

There is also a saying in rural areas: It is best to bring some soil from the original place, which is called old root soil, so as not to be unacceptable to the soil after transplanting.

"Then let's do it. It's the winter. It's a little harder to dig it up." Zhang Dashuai waved his hand and set off with Liu Qingshan.

"Thank you for your hard work, there's no way. Now when it's frozen, you can bring a large pile of frozen soil." Liu Qingshan led the way. It was not easy to transplant an old tree that had been around for decades.

When passing by the Immortal Cave, Liu Qingshan shouted a few times.

The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and the fourth and fifth brothers could not contact the monkey group on time, so they entrust their elder brother to carry half a bag of corn kernels to the monkey group.

After all, it is not easy for monkeys to find food in this winter.

After roaring for a few times, there was no movement in the fairy cave. Grandpa mute next to him smiled and gestured twice. Only then did Liu Qingshan understand:

"I moved away, where have I moved?"

"Of course, the monkey moved to Huaguo Mountain. Let's go into the cave and see if there is any monkey wine." Zhang Dashuai was also a big wine bag, so he arranged to go and steal the wine.

When Liu Qingshan saw him, he quickly stopped him, and then saw his master gesture a few more times.

Seeing the master's gesture of taking a shower, Liu Qingshan was immediately stunned:

"Master, it's true, monkeys still like winter swimming?"

Winter swimming is also a major feature of them here. It is exciting, but only a few people dare to try it. Do monkeys also like to find excitement?

The mute grandfather couldn't explain this issue clearly, but Liu Qingshan had some speculations and he felt that it was necessary to confirm it in a few days.

I was talking and laughing along the way, and soon I arrived at the hillside with beautiful pine trees, which is not too far from the bottom of the mountain.

Most oak trees have been cut down and turned into small saplings.

Although the children in the village are young, they can still plant trees and form forests, which is amazing.

Occasionally, a few big trees grow among the saplings, just like cranes standing out in the flock. These are relatively precious tree species, which were specially left by Liu Qingshan at that time.

Among them are dozens of beautiful pine trees, big and small, standing tall in the snow, still so elegant and beautiful.

"This tree is really beautiful!"

Marshal Zhang couldn't help but praise, and then asked again: "Qingshan, can't he move to death, right?"

Even he thought it would be a pity if he moved to death, which shows the charm of the beauty pine.

"It's okay." Liu Qingshan chose two beautiful pine trees, both of which were about thirty centimeters in size.

As for the thicker ones, they will definitely not be able to move without machinery and labor.

A large circle of one and a half meters was drawn around the big tree, which needed to be preserved, and then everyone started working.

First use a shovel to clean the snow and leaves on the surface, and then start digging with a pickaxe.

The ground was frozen firmly, and the iron pickaxe fell on it and it was a small pit.

Only by scattering a few picks in the same position in succession can a hard block of soil be recovered.

The big iron pickaxe was raised high above the head, and after swinging it dozens of times, his arms became sore. At this time, he quickly replaced the people and everyone took turns to fight.

At this time, we can see who is more powerful. After several changes, Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu still easily swung the big iron pickaxe.

As the soil pit continued to deepen, it slowly hit the root of the tree and cut it off directly with an axe.

It took a full morning to completely dig out these two big trees.

The big tree, which is more than ten meters long, has a large piece of soil under it, and its roots are frozen in the soil. This is the key to survival in the spring of the coming year.

If you only carry some of the roots of the tree and don’t have this lump of soil, you will definitely not be able to survive.

That morning, everyone was exhausted and had already been hungry.

I returned to Mukeling for lunch, baked oil cakes, cooked sauerkraut soup, and a pork belly that I killed pigs for a few days. I was given a mute grandfather.

Of course, you have to eat meat when doing this kind of heavy physical work.

After eating and resting for a while, then go down the mountain and go home. In winter, the sky is short and the sun sets when it is searching. It is obvious that you cannot transport the big trees down today.

The next day, Da Jiefang also went out and drove to the foot of the mountain. Everyone took a few more large sledges and took turns to the place where they worked yesterday.

Tie the ropes of the tree roots and put on wooden bars. In groups of two people, you must first lift the big lump of soil at the other end of the tree roots onto the sled.

"Master, please stand aside quickly and call us a whistle. Your height can only partner with you unless you call Wu Dalang here."

Seeing that Jacky Cheung was still eager to try, Zhang Luo kindly reminded him, which made Jacky Cheung so angry that he was useless.

Everyone worked together to lift the roots of the tree onto the sled, the crown of the tree behind them, and then set up two sledges, slowly slipped down the hillside, and finally got to the front of Dali.

However, it is a bit difficult to get it into the car. If you try it a few times, no one will have that much effort.

"Senior Brother, let's both of you!"

Li Tieniu was also fierce. He worked with Liu Qingshan to carry the big tree close to the roots. The others pressed them from behind, and the roots were raised high and pushed onto the wing board.

"Okay, good boy, have the strength!"

Shuai Zhang was also envious and wanted to raise his hand and pat Li Tieniu on the shoulder, but unfortunately he couldn't reach it.

He didn't care and continued, "Tie Niu, if you have time to go to my uncle's house for dinner, my big girl is eighteen this year, and the dumplings she makes are so delicious."

Um?

Everyone looked at Jacky Cheung and thought that this old boy must be uneasy. Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Li Tieniu?

In this way, two big trees were pulled to the gate of the wild vegetable factory. Two big holes had been dug in advance to clean up the snow inside and plant the trees.

"Qingshan, have you really brought the trees down the mountain?" The webmaster of the Forestry Station was also stunned.

When Liu Qingshan agreed to him, he called him when he moved the big tree, and of course he had to keep his promise.

Everyone worked together to move the big lump into the pit, then filled the surrounding area with soil, and then began to irrigate water according to Liu Qingshan's requirements, and finally the soil and ice were completely frozen into a large area.

"Okay, so there will be no air leakage. When the water is open to the next year, the water will seep into it, and it will be a good job!"

Liu Qingshan also felt a sense of accomplishment when he looked at these two graceful beautiful pine trees. He felt that the grade of the wild vegetable factory had improved a lot at once.

The webmaster of the forestry station thought for a while and felt that if he transplanted like this, he might be able to survive.

But after thinking about it, he began to shake his head: "Qingshan, your method is pretty good, but unfortunately it's too hard. We can't afford it, and we can't do it."

"That is, you can only get rid of the mountain and replace it with others. You can only see that this method cannot be promoted."

Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "It's okay, in a few years, there will be a crane, electric picks, etc., which will save you much more trouble."

"I hope so." The webmaster went back to work with his hands behind his back. He felt that there was little hope, so he had to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

Others were having lunch in the canteen of the wild vegetable factory. By December, the wild vegetable factory was basically suspended and started construction after the New Year.

"Is there any movement on the opposite side?" Liu Qingshan looked at the sign of Jia Jiakang on the opposite side and asked the guard.

"It's probably going to be a yellow shop." The old guard replied happily, with a little gloating.

Liu Qingshan also smiled and threw a cigarette over the old man. As soon as he was about to enter the yard, he saw a large car and a small car driving along the avenue.

When I got here, I turned north and drove to the entrance of Jiajia Kang wild vegetable factory. There was a hustle and a large group of people got out.
Chapter completed!
