Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 122 A Good Well

After encountering a black bear in the mountains, Gao Mingcheng went down the mountain with a face full of pain, and at the same time moved his beehives.

Because he was afraid that the black bear would go down the mountain to the village, he did not dare to put the beehive at the foot of the mountain, but he also put it in another place, hoping to prevent the black bear from stealing it.

He made a total of [-] beehives, and after counting them one by one, he found that [-] beehives had been stolen by black bears, and only four beehives survived due to their hidden locations.

This loss is too great, Gao Mingcheng is not happy.

But, life is not smooth sailing, there will always be bumps and bumps, and solving these problems is also a kind of cultivation in life.

At first he wanted to use vines to make a trap around the beehive, but he vetoed it himself, because the black bear is so powerful that it cannot be stopped by mere vines, and even with steel wire, it may not be able to trap the black bear.

In the end, he could only find a more hidden location as much as possible, hide the beehive there, and be more diligent when patrolling in the future.

Black bears are also afraid of people. If he often appears near the beehives, then black bears may not come to steal honey again.

After all, this area should not be where it is used to living.

It wasn't until evening that Gao Mingcheng went down the mountain with three hares. Walking halfway up the mountain, he could vaguely see dim lights in the houses at the foot of the mountain, and curls of green smoke coming out of the chimney above the kitchen.

Pushing open the door and entering the courtyard, Gao Mingcheng saw that the well had been dug about six or seven meters, and there was a lot of yellow muddy water at the bottom.

The water quality is turbid and cannot be used yet, so we have to continue digging!
Both Lao Zhang and his son were sitting against the wall, and both father and son were smoking, homemade cigarettes.

There are few fields in Dalong Village, but there are many mountains. Everyone in the village likes to smoke and grow tobacco leaves. The terraced fields halfway up the mountain will be full of tobacco leaves. At that time, half of them will be used for smoking, and the other half will be sold.

Gao Mingcheng's father also likes to smoke, but he has never grown tobacco leaves. The flue-cured tobacco is bought with money, and then cut into shreds for himself.

Because growing tobacco leaves is not so easy!
After planting the tobacco leaves, there are still a series of processes, and then they are put into the kang room to be baked. After being baked and dried, the tobacco leaves need to be picked off one by one and stacked neatly.

There are two ways to sell it, one is to sell the whole leaf, and the other is to sell it cut into shredded tobacco.Generally, sellers will choose to sell whole leaves of good quality tobacco leaves, so the price is not low.

And those tobacco leaves of poor quality and some shredded tobacco leaves will be shredded and mixed together.

After being reborn, Gao Mingcheng had never touched a cigarette before. After greeting Lao Zhang and his son, Gao Mingcheng took the rabbit into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, many beauties are cooking.

Gao Mingcheng sat in an open space, skinning the rabbit neatly, and at the same time told Duo Mei what he had seen and heard in the mountains.

When she heard that Gao Mingcheng met a black bear, Duomi immediately became nervous. She came to Gao Mingcheng's side and looked him up and down. She didn't find any injuries, so she was relieved.

Then she said coquettishly: "Why did you go into the deep mountains? It's only spring, and there is little food in the mountains, and the wild boars are very fierce! Not to mention black bears, we have tigers in the mountains! I said that there are tigers in the mountains, and that one of his childhood playmates was eaten by tigers."

"You are not allowed to go to the deep mountains in the future, you understand?"

Facing the order from his wife, what can Gao Mingcheng say?I can only agree with a smile!

As for whether to go or not, isn't it up to him?

But since he encountered the black bear, he will be more vigilant when he enters the mountain again.

When he hunted a wild boar last time, he was followed by jackals. Fortunately, he didn't fight. Now he meets a black bear again. Maybe he can meet a South China tiger next time!
You must know that although the number of these animals has decreased in 86, they have not yet disappeared completely. They are still active in the remote mountains with few people.

But because guns and hunting have not been banned, their numbers will decrease little by little in the next ten years, and they will not be able to breathe as they are mixed with protected animals until hunting is banned.

When he went to bed that night, because there were strangers next door, he was not allowed to touch many beauties. Gao Mingcheng didn't have this habit, so he followed the rules.

After many beauty fell asleep, Gao Mingcheng sat cross-legged and took out the gold leaf paper.

After meeting the black bear today, Gao Mingcheng suddenly felt a sense of crisis. If the black bear didn't retreat, but rushed towards him, he couldn't guarantee whether he would be able to kill the black bear.

Therefore, improving one's ability has become a top priority.

……

While the people at the foot of the mountain are busy with spring plowing, the animals in the deep mountains are also ushering in the breeding season, and all kinds of courtship and fights emerge in endlessly.

Another spring rain fell, and the rain fell on the leaves, making them greener and greener. The new buds were different every day, and soon grew lush, and the lush appearance added vitality to the world.

When the weather cleared up after the rain, Gaoming Cheng’s well had already been dug. It was not deep, only ten meters, but the spring hole had been opened, and the clear spring water came out, and the water quality improved a lot in an instant.

After the muddy water at the bottom of the well is transported out again, the spring water gushing out is drinkable after precipitation.

When they are digging wells now, they don’t fix them with bricks on the walls of the wells. They only build a ring around the top of the well with bricks and cement, about fifteen centimeters, mainly to make the wellhead higher than the ground. This is more conspicuous.

Some places will be built half a meter high, but they are not so high here, because when there are children, they will take a piece of wood to cover the well mouth, so that naughty children will not fall into the well.

After Gao Mingcheng and Duomei tasted the well water, they were very satisfied with the well, and Gao Mingcheng gave Lao Zhang the wages for digging the well.

Lao Zhang was always taciturn. After receiving the money, he only said: "Let's go."

Then he left with his son, cotton-wool quilt and well-drilling tools on his back.

With the departure of their father and son, everyone in the village knew that Gao Mingcheng's family had dug a well.People who had a good relationship with Gao Mingcheng all came to see the situation, and after tasting the well water, they all praised Gao Mingcheng for his good luck and drilled a good well.

Wells are also divided into good and bad. If you choose the wrong place, although you can get water, the water quality is not good. If you choose the right place, such as underground springs, etc., then after the springs are opened, the springs will gush out, and the water quality will be better than ordinary wells. The water is much better.

And even in times of drought, there will be springs gushing out, and it is not easy to completely dry up.

Many beauty said happily: "This water is no worse than the old well in the village. It must be good for making wine and tofu!"

Hearing the word "tofu", Gao Mingcheng, who hadn't posted it for a few days, became darker. He picked up Duomei and strode towards the house.

"I want to eat your tofu right now, it's delicious and tender!"
