my daughter my hometown

Chapter 194
Su Jianguo raised his head and looked at her suspiciously, "You still know this, but ask what it does?"

Fan Ling giggled, feeling joy in her heart.

She was not afraid that Su Jianguo would not answer, but she was afraid that he would just keep silent like Su Wu and the others, then there would be no way to ask further questions.

Fan Ling hurriedly briefly mentioned what happened just now.

Su Jianguo looked clearly at the birch tree in the center of the yard, and asked her to take the two little girls away first.In order to save the juice from splashing on them when the two chop meat, and stain their clothes.

When Su Wan heard this, she quickly reached out and grabbed An An's food bowl, pulling it out.

The little one is growing and needs a lot of food.Even though its stomach has been swollen, it is still burying its head and greedily chewing and swallowing the minced meat in the basin.Unexpectedly, the food bowl under his mouth was suddenly taken away by the little master. After being taken aback for a moment, An An protested and chased after him.

Fan Ling looked interesting.She reached out her hand to touch the lion's furry head, and shook her head feelingly: "You little snack. Even your family dares to protest every night for a bite of food. Be careful that she won't let you in to sleep at night when she gets angry. .”

An An squinted at her, then turned to look at the little master, for a while she didn't even care about eating the minced meat, so she hurried over to rub Su Wan's calf flatteringly.

"Auntie, Wanwan doesn't like to be angry that much." Su Wan was tickled and couldn't help giggling, "Also...An'an doesn't sleep in the same room as Wanwan at night. It likes to sleep in the same room as Fanfan. In a nest."

Not far away, Su Xue was about to go back to the house to see if she could help, when she just heard what the little niece said, and she was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth.If she can't beat Su Wu, she promises to make Su Wan look good.

Why An An likes to sleep in the same nest with Fantuan? Is it because Su Wu didn't allow it to scratch his door in the middle of the night, forcing the little guy to come and scratch Su Xue's door?
Fan Ling didn't know about this, so she couldn't help raising her eyebrows.She teased Su Wan for a few more words before turning her attention back to Su Jianguo.

Su Jianguo has always had a straightforward temper, so he didn't think too much about it.

"After the bitong tree was cut down secretly, we couldn't replant it no matter how angry we were. However, we couldn't put it on the mountain to be bitten by wind, insects, sun and rain, so we sawed it into pieces. A dozen pieces were carried back to the village one by one."

Fan Ling was braiding Shi Duanmin's hair. When she heard this, she stopped her hands and said excitedly, "I brought it back to the village. Where is that tree now? To be honest, I have never seen an ancient tree that is more than 600 years old when I grow up. Dare to imagine how thick it can be. Just trying to open my eyes."

"I haven't seen it either." Shi Duanmin echoed.

"It's a pity." Su Jianguo was still chopping his ingredients, without raising his head, and his voice was full of regret.

"That tree is quite big. Have you ever driven Xiao Wu's car? The main pole of that tree is almost two cars wide. The tree thief also saw it for several nights before knocking it down."

Shi Duanmin's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it.Ever since she learned woodcarving from Su Jianguo, she gradually began to appreciate all kinds of wood. At this time, when she heard that there was such a big tree trunk, she couldn't help but want to take a look.

"Master, can we go and see that tree trunk?"

Su Jianguo was startled, looked up at Shi Duanmin who looked yearning, and quickly understood what the little apprentice meant.

"This..." He shook his head regretfully: "It's too late, the trunk of that tree was used up by us a few years ago."

Fan Ling turned the whole village around in her mind, and said doubtfully, "But there seems to be no place in the village that needs such a large tree pole or plank."

Su Jianguo seemed to have known about such a question.He kept working on the bottom of his hands, and immediately turned his head to the east, "There are still some, just to the east of the village."

East?

Apart from the fields and valleys to the east, there are mountains, and there are obviously no large buildings.

Fan Ling was baffled by what she heard, and asked Su Jianguo several times, but seeing that he was unwilling to explain clearly, she had to continue braiding Shi Duanmin's braid depressedly.

"Sister Ling," Shi Duanmin suddenly leaned over to her ear mysteriously, and whispered, "I know what's on the east side of the village. There is the ancestral grave of Yangxin Valley."

"Really?" Fan Ling was startled, a little dubious.

"Of course it's true." Shi Duanmin nodded heavily.

She is different from Fan Ling.Shi Duanmin sincerely treats Yangxin Valley as her hometown. Apart from practicing knife skills, she usually stays with her peers in the village, such as Su Xiaolan.

After getting used to the game, the children in the village don't regard her as an outsider, and they never avoid her when they talk to each other.So Shi Duanmin is quite clear about the things in the village.

As she said, in the depths of the U-shaped valley to the east of the village is the ancestral grave of the Yangxingu family.All the dead who can enter the ancestral grave in Yangxin Valley are buried there.

Although Fan Ling came to Yangxin Valley with her father and the group of graduate students, she was only out for fun and accompanied by her boyfriend Fang Weimin, not a graduate student herself.Therefore, she was not interested in following the group of graduate students in the mountains around Yangxin Valley, looking for the factors of climate differences inside and outside the village, so she still does not know the location of the ancestral grave of Yangxin Valley.

Hearing what Shi Duanmin said, and thinking about how Su Wu and the others were hesitant to speak just now, Fan Ling couldn't help but believe it.

However, she quickly came to her senses and couldn't help but chuckle.

If the ancestral tomb in Yangxin Valley really had any grand buildings, her father or those graduate students would be delighted to see Lie Xin, and there was no reason why they would not mention it in front of her.

"Uncle Ma, you are fooling me again. I know that to the east is your ancestral grave in Yangxin Valley. But how can there be any building there that can use the trunk of such a big tree?"

Young people like Su Jianguo and Su Wu have spent a lot of time, and they often surf the Internet recently. They have opened up their minds a lot, and they are not angry after hearing Fan Ling's words.

He stopped the knife in his hand, thought carefully before opening his mouth.

"Last time you young people said that you should teach the villagers about fire prevention and fire fighting in the village. Uncle, I think it is very necessary."

"There is such a thing." Fan Ling stared at him blankly, unable to react for a while.

They were clearly talking about the Big Bitong tree, so why did Su Jianguo suddenly mention the knowledge of fire prevention and extinguishing?
"That's what happened." Seeing Fan Ling's doubts, Su Jianguo continued slowly: "You should know about the wildfire that broke out in the southern mountain range 20 years ago, right?"

"A wildfire broke out?" Shi Duanmin couldn't help exclaiming.She looked around for a while, wondering: "Why haven't I heard of it?"

Fan Ling next to her nodded subconsciously: "I know about this. I heard that Yangxin Valley killed and injured nearly one-third of the tribe's people in order to fight the fire. Even the patriarch at that time..."

While talking, Fan Ling's heart skipped a beat suddenly.She covered her mouth all of a sudden, and said in surprise: "Could it be..."

Su Jianguo nodded.

"Generally, elderly people will prepare coffin boards by themselves. However, the casualties in the fire fighting were too great, and the old people in the clan ran out of spares. We had to break open the bitong tree and make it into a coffin. "

"Don't look at that tree is quite big, but it's still not enough..."

"Yes... I'm sorry, I really don't know what's going on." Fan Ling looked back at Su Wu and the others over there, blushing with shame, and quickly apologized to Su Jianguo.

"It's okay." Su Jianguo waved his hand hehe, "It's not you who set the fire, so why apologize. On the contrary, you young people have been working hard to convey the knowledge of mountain fire prevention to outsiders. We should thank you."
