Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 353: Figured it out and went into the mountains to release trees
When Wang An woke up, his head felt dizzy.

To be honest, although he slept long enough, Wang An knew that he had been dreaming, and they were all messy dreams.

However, Wang An couldn't remember what he dreamed about at all.

After putting on his clothes and shoes and putting his hat on his head, Wang An lit a cigarette and walked towards the toilet.

When Wang An came outside and was blown by the cold wind, he instantly felt much more energetic.

Squatting in the toilet, Wang An, whose mind had become clear, gradually figured out and understood why Zhang Shuya chose to use artillery fire.

On the one hand, the opponents were all vicious bandits, and each of them was armed with a gun.

If one wants to rescue all those zombie-like women, the cost would be extremely high.

We were all born by our parents and raised by them. No matter which worker or soldier gets injured or even sacrificed as a result, it is not worth it.

What's more, those women who are addicted to smoking will not have any feelings of gratitude. Not only may they not be grateful, they may even be extremely resentful.

Drug addicts are inhumane.

On the other hand, as the captain of the well-drilling team, Zhang Shuya can be considered a real "military commander".

Not only are you responsible for your subordinates, but you are also responsible for the success or failure of the mission.

Therefore, Zhang Shuya was right to choose this method which seems inhumane but is actually very simple and effective.

After all, as the person in charge of this bandit suppression mission, you need to weigh the cost and stay rational at all times.

As for compassion, morality, and humanity, they are not necessary at all at this time.

After figuring out these problems in his mind, coupled with the machine gun fire in front and the artillery fire behind, Wang Anton felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body and mind.

Finally, I used the secret documents to clean the barrel, and the discomfort from yesterday finally went into the manure pit along with the shit and urine.

Even if the scene of yesterday is still lingering in my mind, it is just flashing in my mind like watching a movie and will not have any effect on my mood.

After brushing his teeth, washing his face and having breakfast, Wang Dazhu started the chainsaw and debugged it.

The chainsaws of this era not only look stupid, but also need to be adjusted in all aspects before use. Only in this way can the chainsaw be avoided from being damaged in the middle of use and becoming unable to work.

After Wang Dazhu completed the debugging, he pressed the chain of the chainsaw on a thick log.

I saw that the thick wood that usually takes two people more than ten minutes to cut through with a large saw could be cut through in just over 20 seconds with an oil saw.

Wang Dazhu said with a smile to Wang An standing next to him:
"This new thing is really good. It's much more powerful than the original one."

After Wang An agreed with a smile, he suddenly remembered that his father-in-law and second uncle's family also needed to prepare wood.

Then he said to Wang Dazhu, "Dad, my father-in-law wants to prepare some wood, and my second uncle wants to prepare some wood as well."

Wang Dazhu pointed at the chainsaw nonchalantly and said:

"It's okay. With this thing, the wood we have to build a house is just enough."

Just as the father and son were chatting, Mu Xueli and Mu Hua, father and son, came over on their sleds.

After this period of recuperation, Muhua's health has improved a lot. Although he still can't do heavy physical work, he has no problem driving a sled or something like that.

In fact, when it comes down to it, Mu Hua’s health had always been poor because of money.

I was already ill, but I had to take medicine intermittently. The most important thing was that my nutrition was not enough. It can be said that my whole body was actually in a state of deficiency.

After a few greetings, everyone went into the house. Mu Xueqing was very happy to see her father, and Mu Hua was naturally very happy to see his daughter.

The two houses were not far away. Before, Mu Xueqing would ride a horse and carry a gun, and leave whenever she wanted. She would go home after staying for a while or having lunch.

But after Mu Xueqing became pregnant, she went back to her parents' home less and less frequently.

Just as Wang An's family was chatting with Mu Hua, Wang Dashu and his son Wang Yong came over.

Soon after, Wang Daliang, Wang Shun, and Wang Li drove over with two sleds. After a few simple greetings, everyone drove their sleds into the mountains.

Wang An's four horses and mule were all harnessed to the sled.

That is 9 people, driving a total of 8 sleds.

In fact, if you want to pull the tree trunks back, you don't need so many sleds, because apart from the people who put the trees down, there are not enough people to drive the sleds back and forth.

However, Wang Dazhu’s point was that they could let the horses change shifts or something, and since there would be more people when they came back, they could pull back two more tree trunks.

There is nothing wrong with what Wang Dazhu said.

Soon, everyone followed the route that Wang Dazhu had found in advance and arrived at a large red pine forest.

Although trees were state property in those days, in the Northeast, no one cared about cutting down trees to build houses or cut wood for firewood.

As long as it is for personal use, you can cut it however you like.

But even so, except for the forest farm, the number of trees near the villages has not decreased at all.

Because cutting down trees is difficult in itself, and transporting them out is even more difficult.

So if it is not absolutely necessary, no one would be so idle as to go into the mountains to cut trees.

Since the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains have been the main source of timber for the interior of China, so over time a culture of freeing people from the mountains has taken shape.

That is, before cutting down a tree, there must be a worship ceremony.

This ceremony is actually no different from hunting in the mountains or digging ginseng in the mountains.

Anyway, the people who are worshipping are the same person, that is the head of the mountain god - Sun Liang.

When it comes to things like worship, it's actually just for psychological comfort.

It is nothing more than praying to the mountain god to bless them and keep them safe. If they are digging ginseng, in addition to praying for safety, they also want to pray for big ginseng.

As a person who was reborn, Wang An did not believe in these things, but he did not object to them at all. After all, this had been passed down for hundreds of years.

Existence proves that it has meaning.

Wang Dazhu placed the wild boar head he brought from home there, lit three incense sticks, burned a stack of folded yellow paper, and then after everyone kowtowed, the ceremony was completed.

After the ceremony was completed, everyone started to release the tree.

Of course, it was Wang Dazhu who was doing the job of felling trees with the chainsaw.

Whenever a tree was about to fall, Wang Daliang next to it would shout "It's falling down the mountain" or "It's falling across the mountain" or something like that.

This is also called a shouting slogan, with a total of three sentences, "Follow the mountain and fall", "Follow the mountain and fall", and "Face the mountain and fall".

This slogan must be shouted because it is a reminder to people around to get away from this area as soon as possible.

You know, when the big tree falls down, it is really like a tidal wave, with a force as powerful as thunder.

Any animal or person who is hit or swept by the tree branches will be in great pain.

In fact, when it comes to planting trees, they are basically planted "down the mountain" or "across the mountain".

Because this is not only safe, but also very labor-saving during transportation.

In fact, the case of "trees falling down the mountain" is very rare. Unless there is really no other way, people seldom let trees fall down the slope.

The main problem is that the big end of the tree is facing downwards, making it very difficult to transport.

　In the last three days of the month, relatives and friends who have monthly tickets, please give some money, thank you
