7. Unfamiliar
He wondered whether he would go to the nearby forest farm to carry one back?
There is no need to cut harder yourself.
Anyway, I can carry this thing at will, and there are dense crowds around the entire railway line.
There was not even a guard, because no matter whether it was the boss of the forest farm or the timber dealer who had been alone, he would never have expected someone to run over and steal from a long distance.
After thinking for a while, I gave up. There was neither a donkey cart nor a trolley, so there was no way to get it back.
Not long after, he set his sights on a poplar as thick as a bowl. This thing is an extremely ordinary tree. It can be the first to go anywhere. It grows straight, but in the towering old forest, he becomes frustrated and the ones who are squeezed can only barely survive on the edge.
I held my breath for a long time, stomped my feet, and swung my axe. Crack, crack, the poplar tree has low density and soft material. The gap has been revealed after the three axes.
After working hard, a poplar tree fell to the ground.
With the results, he couldn't help but feel happy, and then he started to attack the second tree and cut down three one after another, two of which were not as thick as his wrists.
But it's better than nothing?
When I woke up in the morning, I not only didn’t eat breakfast, but I didn’t even drink hot water. Now I’m so hungry that I’m clamoring, and I have to cheer myself up every time I swing an axe.
But why is my mind not important? My body is very honest. I squatted in the snow and didn’t even have enough strength to stand up.
Another part of the reason is that he has not fully adapted to this body, and it will take some time to achieve coordination.
The only way is to exercise more.
He began to attack the shrubs such as purple linden, colored wood maple, and twigs next to him. They were very good to take them back with wheat straw and weeds together to attract fire.
I thought satisfied, I would never be frozen again tonight, right?
After the poplar trees were trapped together with weeds, he stuffed some shrubs into them and started to drag them home.
I met Aunt Wu again.
"Lao Geda, why are you diligent today?"
"I almost froze to death last night and went to chop wood early in the morning." He put the poplar tree directly at the door. Ji Mo said angrily, "Aunt, please lend me your axe, I'm not good at it."
"Isn't that at the door of the warehouse? Take it yourself." Aunt Wu, who was shoveling snow at the door, banged his mouth in the direction of his right hand.
"Okay." Ji Mo didn't have time to rest. The only thing he had to do now was to chop firewood and then quickly make a fire to cook, otherwise it wouldn't be fun to starve to death.
The Wu family's axe was sharp and very useful, and the bushes were cut into pieces without any effort.
After almost enough for a meal, he went into the house to set fire and cook porridge.
The chimney continued to smoke, and my eyes were never opened when I cooked this meal.
After a meal, he was warm all over. He could lie in bed without taking sleeping pills, but he didn't, for fear that he would sleep too much now and that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night as if he was taking stimulants.
It's too irritating to have a long night, no mobile phone, and no Internet.
There is still firewood in the forest that has not been moved back, so he still has to continue moving.
He moved the firewood and chopped it all into the room. Without the timing tools, he had no idea how long it had been used.
I only know that I was hungry again, so I just had lunch.
The back wall on the left side of his home was built next to the cattle shed and toilet. He climbed up to the roof along the abandoned cattle shed and added half a piece of rotten tiles to the chimney. Although the effect was not as good as an elbow, it was better than nothing.
The house is too old. Since my brother Ji Lin went to Anshan City to make a living ten years ago, the wind and rain have continued to erode the exterior walls, and the fungi have still eaten wood. The house has never been repaired.
At that time, my sister had not yet gotten married. It was difficult for a girl to take care of him. She could only ensure that the two of them would not starve to death. The house was clean and a few chickens and ducks occasionally had tooth sacrifices, and there was nothing extra.
Five years ago, my sister got married in Anshan City. He was eleven years old. Like most children from poor families, he was able to wash clothes, cook and take care of himself, so he stayed in the town to study alone.
The brother is a man, the pillar of two children, and the pressure is high. The sister gave birth to three children in one breath in a few years. Not only did she hold two in her arms, but she also had to hold one in her hand. In addition to being able to send him some living expenses and tuition fees, the two of them had no spare time to take care of him.
The house can no longer be clean and clean, so I can only barely starve to death.
He could not understand the difficulties of his elder brother and sister before, and always felt that he was the one who was abandoned.
I deliberately argued with them. After graduating from junior high school, I stayed at home, eating what I have today, not thinking about tomorrow, not going anywhere, and doing nothing.
The elder brother and sister finally stopped his living expenses after discussing. After all, Ji Lin had already gone to Anshan City at the age of thirteen. At that time, his parents had just passed away, and if they didn't go out to find some work, the whole family would not be able to afford it.
The twelve-year-old sister Ji An is already taking care of four-year-old Ji Mo and supporting a home alone.
And Ji Mo is now fifteen, why is he still ignorant?
After Ji Mo came here, he understood very well. It was not easy in this turbulent era of warlords, constant wars, rampant bandits, and continuous droughts and floods!
Looking at the animal shed with brick walls, he decided to build it first after spring and raise some animals. After all, going south is not a matter of overnight. Although he has the memory of the original owner, he is still unfamiliar with this era.
Stranger maps, strange characters, strange environments.
Anyway, the history and geography of the previous life were in vain, and I couldn’t be a prophet here.
It’s better to settle down here first, familiarize yourself with the environment, save some family business, and you will have some capital to go south in the future.
The water tank was empty and the bottom was covered with turbid water stains. This naughty kid was lazy enough before!
After I couldn't help but complain, I had to do what I should do myself and rolled it over and over again to clean it up.
A shoulder pole and two wooden barrels were carried all the way to the river.
The river in front of me is called Shuqiu River. The town is built along the river, and the name is also taken with this river.
The widest part is dozens of meters, and the narrowest part is only a few meters. You can vaguely see the railway line passing through the upstream, and the stone bridge downstream is almost level with the river surface, and a carriage is passing by.
Most people in the town fetch water from this river. He carried the bucket and looked around the river. He saw several broken ice surfaces at a glance, all of which were chiseled by the water intakers. When he saw the cross section, it was at least twenty centimeters, and now it has condensed into a thin layer of ice again.
He didn't dare to carry the bucket to the middle, not to mention the slipperyness, a lot of the ice on the river was gathered together with fragments of floating ice, which was easy to turn over, and he just found a hole nearby.
My shoulders are too delicate, and I can only take two buckets of water to my home after walking and resting.
The water tank is not full, so I have to continue to pick it.
