Chapter 220 Stealing the Beam

Matou hovered above again, and came to the back and upper part of the geese. In the picture, the geese gradually became smaller. Gradually, the Wuxi River, the riverbanks on both sides, the mountains, and the cliffs were all included in the camera lens, becoming more and more Small, majestic mountains and rivers are unobstructed in the picture.

Li Junge blew the eagle whistle, and the monitor screen was like the view of a fighter jet. It began to turn around and came to the front of Jiu Changju, and then began to accelerate and dive towards the position of the three of them.

The three people who were staring at the screen saw their own shadow zooming in rapidly. In just a few seconds, it changed from three sesame dots to three brain tops. They were startled, screaming and rolling Each jumped away.

Matou came down, flapped his wings above the Falcon Terrace, and reset the speed to zero, and then slowly stopped on the Falcon Terrace.

Li Junge shook his arms, and then he smirked at the two of them: "The mother-in-law stepped on the loudspeaker, the motherfucker will scare herself!"

Ren Weiwei took down the video storage and handed it to Song Jie, who then connected the storage to his laptop to read the high-definition images.

This is shocking. The picture quality, clarity, and color are completely different from the surveillance video just now.

However, the capacity consumed is also scary. A few minutes of video is already tens of gigabytes.

Li Junge looked envious: "So in Matou's eyes, my Lijiagou looks like this?! It's so beautiful!"

Song Jie and his technical team jumped for joy: "Hahaha! It's a success! This idea can be done! It can definitely be done!"

Li Junge smiled and said, "Then this is considered a success?"

Ren Weiwei said: "This is just the beginning, which means that there is a possibility of success. The next step is the hard work. How to make Matou fly according to the route we planned is useless!"

Li Junge asked: "Weiwei, have you done similar experiments before?"

Ren Weiwei frowned and said: "Actually, I'm just an ornithologist, and I can only provide some suggestions on the living habits of birds, such as installing the camera on the bird's head. I tried to install it on the ground during the wild training." Guide rails, and then put an electric fake rabbit to let the little peregrine falcons practice catching, but what you need is long-distance flight, but this has not been tried.”

Song Jie said: "Actually, you only need to teach Matou to fly a short section. At worst, the route will be broken down into small sections for filming."

Li Junge said: "The effect is estimated to be discounted. The effect of a long shot is definitely much more shocking than a spliced ​​shot."

Song Jie said: "I also know, there is no other way!"

Li Junge said: "Matou is very smart, but how to let it know what we want to do requires a lot of thinking, otherwise we will start the experiment tomorrow, start with the simple one, and gradually increase the size."

That night, the filming team came back, and everyone met at the village committee.

Si Xingzhun was excited after watching the video clip shot by Matou, and said, "It's amazing! Hahahaha, the effect is no worse than that of a blockbuster digital special effect movie! And it's even more real!"

When Song Jie and Ren Weiwei explained the technical difficulties to Si Xingzhun, Si Xingzhun said: "Anyway, this is a good start. If it doesn't work, you can also collect massive amounts of data, and then match the performance actions according to the material. No matter what, it’s better than Wumao’s special effects!”

For the next two days, Li Junge and Weiwei trained Matou together. The two of them put white pong balls on their bamboo poles as punctuation marks, and inserted them one by one from the end of the village to the head of the village. They arranged the flight route and let Matou practice flying according to the route. Then gradually increase the distance between bamboo poles and bamboo poles to extend the line.

Then Uncle A Chong came and said, "Pi Wa, your wooden building has to be erected on a mountain and put beams on it. It's time for you to prepare the beams!"

Li Junge said in astonishment: "Huh? Uncle Achong, aren't you a master ink master? Aren't these all your business?"

Uncle A Chong smiled and said: "You just don't understand the rules of the Miao family building wooden buildings. The beam is the backbone of a house, just like the status of the owner, so the owner must participate in the erection of the beam. And the middle beam cannot be used for money. To buy, you can only steal, which means that this is a good material that you can’t buy with money, and others are reluctant to sell it if you give money. When you see a certain wood is good, you go to it in the evening, start working overnight, and then quickly carry it away. Put it on the stump Leave a red seal to express my gratitude to the owner of Liangmu, this matter must be completed before dawn."

Li Junge looked at Uncle A Chong with a confused expression on his face: "Just kidding, there is a dog watching from your Miao village. If I really want to steal wood, I won't have to unload it."

Uncle A Chong laughed loudly and said, "Are you really stealing? This is a custom, and it's only done among acquaintances in the same village. Before cutting down beams, sacrifices are required, and immediately after felling, red silk is hung on the beams. Come here When people who stop you see a red silk thread in the middle of the tree you cut down, they know that you are used as a beam, and generally they will not stop you."

"Why is that?"

"Because everyone thinks that the land that can produce beams and logs is a blessed land with rich family resources, prosperous children and grandchildren, and good Fengshui. Those who are 'stolen' will be embarrassed the next day."

Li Junge sighed in his heart, this is the simplicity of the folk customs in the countryside, if it is put outside, this matter alone will cause a lot of blood in the head.

Uncle A Chong said again: "There is something to be said about the selection of beams. It doesn't matter if you don't know the way of it. You take He Miao with you. He knows everything. Just follow him tomorrow. Remember to bring more people , I want you Lijiagou, and I asked the people in the village to evacuate first for the zip line in the forest farm, and everyone will leave the kennel at home tomorrow, so you just go up and steal slowly, don’t worry!"

Li Junge didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and murmured in his heart: "What do you mean by taking it easy and stealing slowly? Why do these words sound so awkward?"

So he said, "Just do what you say? Why don't you delay for a day? Shall I invite someone first?"

Uncle A Chong said: "Don't! I've seen the due date. Tomorrow evening will be a good day for 'three no losses'. It's not due to you, not to the tree owner, and of course not to me. It's going to be a long wait."

Li Junge knows that old carpenters have a set of traditions, and they can use magic tricks. The legendary "Book of Luban" is a book of witchcraft and Taoism. The old carpenters are very particular about these things.

For example, there are several stories circulating in the village. It is said that there was an old rich man who offended the carpenter who built the house. ?” The person who was waiting to pick up the poop hurriedly dodged, and shouted: “No one, no one.”

Then the rich man was gone.

Another example is that grandma also said that if you offend the master carpenter, and the master carpenter hides a chisel in a certain place on the main pillar of the house, there will be unkempt "chisel ghosts" in this house from time to time, which will scare people to death.Therefore, almost all the villagers warned future generations that they must not treat the craftsman badly. The craftsman knows magic, and if he offends, he will receive retribution.

So Li Junge said: "That's all, I'll listen to you, I'll go call for people, and go to the stockade tomorrow evening to steal beams!"

He came to Uncle Orion's house to look for He Miao. As soon as He Miao saw Li Junge, he said, "Uncle A Chong told me to steal beams from the village tomorrow night, right?"

Li Junge said: "Yeah, I don't understand anything, so I can only come to you who understand!"

He Miao laughed and said, "Actually, it's nothing. You prepare the sacrifices today. Bring firecrackers, incense paper, roosters, sacrificial meat, candy peanuts and sealed red envelopes."

"By the way, in addition to the big red envelopes for a few big beams, we also need to prepare a bunch of small red envelopes to prevent accidents. Our Lijiagou people head back up the mountain to do this. Maybe we will be teased. Take the little red envelope to lead the way."

In the afternoon of the second day, He Miao and Li Junge took the lead, carrying the sacrifices up the mountain on a zipline.

When they arrived at the forest farm on the mountain, the two carried the sacrifices and walked to the back of the stockade, while He Miao explained to Li Junge how to cut Liang.

"Let's go up and choose the beams first. The materials for the middle beams are also very particular. The best ones are catalpa and toon. The meanings are 'Yizi' and 'Changchun'. However, there are fewer of these two kinds of trees in the stockade. Use a big fir tree."

"Ordinary fir trees are not enough. You have to choose a tree with a lot of seedlings, a straight material, and a branch at the top. That is a good beam material. The implication is that the Zize will last forever, and the more branches will bring more blessings, and it will be safe and smooth."

"After the beam material is selected, red silk must be tied, which means that someone has already selected the tree, and no one else can grab it."

"Then we have to sacrifice to the mountain god and the sun god. These two are the gods of forest trees. We have to thank the two gods and father-in-laws for taking the wood."

"When the head beams are felled, they should be turned to the east in order to pray for the blessing of the sun god and auspiciousness for the head of the household. The sun is yang, and the residence of a person is called the yang house, where the yang energy is. The sun god is the god who protects the world, so it must be Let's pay homage."

"In addition, after the top beams are felled, they must fall towards the top of the mountain, not towards the foot of the mountain, which means that the owner's family is going uphill and rising step by step."

"When cutting the material, we should use 'eight' as the number. The so-called 'the bed should not be separated from five, and the room should not be separated from eight'. These are all very particular."

……

While walking and chattering, Li Junge was dizzy and said: "There are so many ways to cut a beam. It seems that the cultural connotation of the carpenter is also extensive and profound. Let Uncle A Chong explain it to me another day. It seems that this can also be included What about legacy items!"

He Miao said: "This is just a few words for you. The Miao family built a wooden building. The so-called 'build a house without killing pigs for three years'. Why? They all sold for money to pay off the debt! It is to communicate with the world and to respect the gods. It is a great matter to comfort the ancestors! And this beam is the most important thing. In the old days, there was no division of the house, and it was because the beam could not be divided, so the main house under the beam could not be divided."

"To be honest, the construction of the whole house is subdivided into site selection, house building, setting up the lawn, logging, erecting the horse, building, installing the stool, rowing the fan, erecting the mountain, erecting the beam, cloth covering, installing the house, There are more than a dozen steps such as Ancaimen, inviting fire, etc., and they are talked about step by step, and they can't finish talking for three days and three nights."

Both of them walked out of the forest farm, and Li Junge finally came to his senses: "Hey, hey, there are so many logs in the forest farm, why don't we look for logs in the forest farm?"

He Miao said with a smile: "The stealing of beams is actually a favor, so I told you that if you steal someone's wood for beams, it means that you think whose forests and mountains are a blessed place. Especially for a lucky baby like you, Whoever’s looking for wood, it’s designated as a good land, and the owner’s family thinks it has face! If you look for it in the public forest farm, the people in the village will be disappointed!”

　I haven't communicated with you for a long time, mainly because the National Day is over and the number of manuscripts is not much.As long as the manuscript is less than ten chapters, Lao Zhou will suffer from anxiety, so he is rushing to draft during this period.When writing a book for the first time, the rhythm is still a little out of control, and I feel a little slow, but once I consciously speed up the pace, there will be many mistakes and omissions.Um, the level is still not enough, I really feel sorry for everyone.Next, there will be a lot of information on the plots of building wooden buildings and celebrating festivals, all of which are customs and habits in the old time.Lao Zhou hopes to explain these customs interestingly and vividly, but it may not meet everyone's expectations.Book lovers who don’t like it can skip it. I hope you don’t talk about Lao Zhou’s word count, because looking up information and writing chapters is actually much, much slower than Lao Zhou’s own brainstorming.And these things are what Lao Zhou values ​​most. It can be said that all the plots in this book serve these things.Anyway, thank you very much for your support!Thank you Zhou!Lao Zhou is too embarrassed to ask for a ticket or something, so please give it to everyone...
