The village has a small population, and the land it occupies is not small. The main reason is that the construction of houses in the village is irregular, with one family here and one family there, and there is not enough concentration.From the stone arch bridge on the river to the opposite side, the first one by the bridge is.

"Is Uncle Qian at home?" Zhang Taiping spoke first at the door.

Wuwu, Zhang Taiping was first greeted by a dog whining.He remembered that old man Qian had a black dog in his house, which was blind in one eye.Although this dog is not a mountain dog, it must have the blood of a mountain dog, and it is extremely fierce.When the other dogs saw it, they had to tuck their tails and run away.

And this guy never barks loudly, he is a master of the next life.The so-called dog that barks doesn't bite, and a dog that bites doesn't bark. This kind of dog is the most terrifying, and will bite people when they are not prepared.If you rush into the yard without asking the owner to come out first, you will probably be greeted with a dog's mouth.

Although Zhang Taiping is not yet afraid of a dog, but today he is here to borrow something, not to provoke, so he can't just kick it away, right?So let's make a sound first.

Hearing the voice, old man Qian opened the curtain and came out of the room. When he saw Zhang Taiping, he said kindly, "It's handsome, come in quickly."

Dashuai Zhang didn't have a good reputation, but there was nothing dirty between him and old man Qian, and there was a mentor-student relationship in it.Therefore, old man Qian did not have the same prejudice and dislike for Zhang Taiping as the villagers.

When the big dog Heizi saw his master appeared, he stopped making any noise, and lay lazily on the ground with his eyes closed.This dog has been around since Zhang Taiping learned carpentry here, and it is still alive after all these years, probably not too young.

When Zhang Taiping entered the house, he felt that he came at the wrong time, and his family was having dinner.Old man Qian's wife got up and added a stool to Zhang Taiping, but Zhang Taiping refused to sit down.

Zhang Taiping pretended to go out, old man Qian followed, and asked: "Marshal, what's the matter today? Tell me."

"I came here today mainly to see if you have any putty for wall painting. I want to repaint the house. I want to go to the mountains with my friends in a few days, and I will come here to ask you what you need to pay attention to and what you need to prepare. " Zhang Taiping took out a cigarette and handed it to old man Qian and said.

"I'm not used to smoking paper cigarettes, you should smoke them." Lighting up the dry tobacco, he said, "Qian Wang has the putty for wall painting, and I'll let him get it for you soon."

Qian Wang is the son of the old man Qian, a craftsman (wall builder), and he worked with a contractor in Fengyukou Village.It is the same nature as the migrant workers circulating on the Internet recently, except that one is in the city and the other is in the countryside.Eighty or ninety a day, no need to spend on food and lodging, and I can drop more than 2000 to nearly [-] in the next two months.

"What are you going to do in the mountains? You must know that the management of the mountains and forests has been very strict in recent years, and hunting is not allowed."

Zhang Taiping replied with a smile: "Hehe, I misunderstood, the purpose of going to the mountain is not to hunt, but a few friends from the city brought the dog to the mountain to let the dog get familiar with the wild environment."

"It's not that hunting is not allowed, the main reason is that they are afraid of indiscriminate killing." Old Man Qian said after puffing out his cigarette.

"I can guarantee this, as long as the rare animals don't take the initiative to hurt people, we will not take the initiative to hurt those animals." Zhang Taiping said firmly.

"That's good. Then I'll tell you about the skills in this mountain." He opened his mouth but didn't know where to start. "I won't be able to talk much in a while, so I'll go with you when the time comes. You go back Just prepare something for self-defense, and it’s best to prepare some realgar.”

Zhang Taiping thought about it, it would be safer for the team leader to have an old hunter, so he agreed: "Okay, I'll call you when the time comes. Then I'll go first."

"Qian Wang, take out the putty that was used to paint the wall." The old man Qian shouted into the room.

After a while, Qian Wang came out with putty and handed it to Zhang Taiping.Zhang Taiping thanked him and left.

When I got home, I bought some white powder for wall painting.

First move everything out of the house, and use a broom to sweep away the black mold powder on the walls and the cobwebs hanging in the air.Soak the white powder in a basin to make a paste. After soaking thoroughly, dip it with putty, and then roll it back and forth on the wall to whiten the wall. The dark brown areas can be covered up by brushing several times.After the painting is finished, the surrounding walls are completely new, and the bright white light also makes people feel bright and cheerful. It doesn't look like the broken mountain temple that no one cares about before.

Considering that there may be many opportunities to use the guest rooms in the future, I painted the north and south wing rooms together.

The things were cleaned by Cai Yazhi in the yard and then put back into the house.In fact, no one has lived in it for so many years, and there is no furniture in it, and there are only three big pieces in it.A cabinet, a small square table, and a washstand standing by the door.

Clean it up, open the windows, let the air flow inside accelerate, and the freshly painted white on the walls quickly condenses and diffuses most of the odor.

When the smell of fresh white powder in the air is no longer so irritating, spread bedding on the kang.Zhang Taiping looked at the tidied guest room, and thought it was too simple and monotonous, so he planned to decorate the room with some green.

There are no flower pots, but living people can’t be suffocated to death by urine. Zhang Taiping found a few pieces of wood, processed them on a planer, took them out, corrected them with a knife, and punched a hole in the middle. The simple and natural wooden vase Out.

Insert a few bouquets of flowers, and the feeling in the room will be different immediately, giving people a warm feeling.Yes, it is warmth. Before, it seemed empty due to the lack of furniture. Although the light is bright, it feels deserted.Put a bouquet of flowers, and the natural vitality will dispel the deserted atmosphere.

Just like no matter how quiet it is in summer, it will only make people feel quiet instead of deserted.This is because the trees are full of vitality in summer and are growing upwards, which cannot create a deserted environment.And in late autumn, once the trees are yellow and the leaves are falling, the quiet place is always accompanied by desolation and desolation.This is because of the lack of vigorous vitality and upward momentum, it gradually returns to silence, and naturally a bleak atmosphere will permeate.

The environment always changes the mood with the change of vitality.

After tidying up the guest room, Zhang Taiping was free again.There is no farmer to take care of it this season, and the winter wheat has just emerged, and there is no need for weeding and fertilization. That will all be next spring.

So in the remaining two days, Zhang Taiping soaked in the orchard and cooked fruit trees and strawberries.

It is too early to apply winter fertilizer to fruit trees, but they can be pruned.The main purpose of pruning fruit trees is to cut off twigs, concentrate nutrients, and benefit the growth of fruit trees in the coming year.Especially dwarf vines need to be cut every year, otherwise there will be basically no good bunches of grapes in the second year, and they will all be like spiders pulling eggs, with length but no weight and quality.

Winter fertilizers can only be applied after the fruit trees are pruned.If you apply winter fertilizer before you see it, you will waste the measured fertilizer on the growth of old branches, resulting in insufficient storage, which will affect the growth and germination of the next spring.If the pruning is proper and the fertilizer is applied in time, after one winter, the vegetables will have a vigorous growth period after the spring, and the new shoots will be vigorous and strong.The stamina is also full of explosive power.

He was sure not to leave the pruning fruit trees behind to prune after returning from the mountains, so he was not in a hurry to work in the past two days, but only pruned a little when he saw the shape of the tree he was interested in.The main focus is on strawberries, which have just been planted and bloomed.

A field of small white flowers under the vine spreads all over the ground.Strawberries generally bloom more in April in the Gregorian calendar, and they will be available in early May.Although blooms are not common this season, there are precedents, so there is nothing to be afraid of and nothing to hide.Zhang Taiping combed the strawberry vines well to facilitate flowering, honey harvesting by bees, and watering.

During the period, I found some time to find Wang Peng.I didn't call him last time I went into the mountain, but I muttered for a long time after I found out about it, and repeatedly emphasized that I must call him next time I go into the mountain.So let's talk to him this time.

When I came to Wang Peng's yard, this guy was chopping firewood.The queen mother is also in the yard, but people around 40 years old are as old as 60 years old.Seeing that Zhang Taiping didn't give a good face.These bad habits of Wang Peng were all learned from Zhang Dashuai, and it is understandable for the Queen Mother to dislike Zhang Dashuai for leading his son badly.

It's just that she also knew that Wang Peng only had one friend as Zhang Dashuai, and it was impossible to push her son away from Zhang Dashuai.If you don't succeed, you don't succeed. If your brain is like this, what can you expect to be great?As long as it can be repeated frequently, it will be fine.Therefore, even though he has resentment towards Dashuai Zhang and has a bad face, he does not prohibit them from interacting.

Zhang Taiping also saw the displeasure on the Queen Mother's face, so he didn't go forward to make fun of himself.Pull Wang Peng out of the yard and say.

"Didn't you keep clamoring to go into the mountains? In two days, some friends and I are planning to go into the mountains. Are you going?"

Before Zhang Taiping finished speaking, Wang Peng couldn't wait to reply: "Go, why not? I've wanted to go into the mountains for a long time. When are we going?"

"NO.17, which is the tenth day of the lunar new year, my friend came and walked together."

"Can you really meet a black blind man when you enter the mountain?" Wang Peng asked a little excitedly.

"Look at your luck, if it's good, you won't meet it, if it's bad, you will meet it."

But Wang Peng has a different opinion: "If you want me to say, if you are lucky, you will meet, but if you are unlucky, you will not. If you are lucky, you will be slaughtered after you meet. Isn't it possible to sell bear paws and bear bile?"

"It's better not to meet them. Although there are many people, you are not afraid, but the black blind man is not a vegetarian when he goes crazy. If he is slapped with that thick bear's paw, his bones will fall apart. This kind of money may also be fatal. It's a waste of money." Zhang Taiping patted Wang Peng's head and said calmly.

"Hey, I listen to big brother." Wang Peng said with a silly smile.

"Well, those who have prepared some self-defense these two days, come to my house early in the morning on the tenth day of the lunar new year to gather. Don't wait when it's too late. Don't say that I didn't call you when I went into the mountain." Zhang Taiping said seriously.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, he will definitely be there." Wang Peng promised, patting his chest.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "That's good. For this matter, I'll leave first. You should prepare well in the past two days." After speaking, he turned around and left.
