Jiang Tian and his grandfather took the tools and left the house. They met people in the village on the road and greeted them warmly.
I happened to see the old village chief in a hurry.
"Why are you going, so anxious?" Grandpa asked.
When the old village chief saw it was his grandfather, he said: "I went to the town for a meeting to discuss funding. The roads in our village are too difficult, the electricity is unstable, and the signal is not good. I have applied for several years but have not been approved yet." Come down and ask again today.¡±
The expression of the old village chief was not very good. Obviously he also knew the result. There was no way. Most of the remaining villagers in Taoshan Village were old, weak, sick and disabled, and the young people were not willing to come back at all.
It can be said that Taoshan Village exists in name only now. It is estimated that in a few years, when the remaining old friends are all dead, the village will be gone.
It¡¯s cruel to say, but this is the reality.
People in the town also know the situation in Taoshan Village, so there is no allocation. After all, giving money to a half-dead village is a waste. It is better to vigorously develop other villages.
The elders of the village committee, such as the old village chief and grandpa, are very clear-minded. Even if they complain, they actually understand what the town is doing.
"Okay, go and ask." Grandpa nodded.
Watching the village chief leave, he sighed, "I don't know how many more years I can last. I really want to die in the village."
Grandpa shook his head and did not continue to speak.
Jiang Tian didn¡¯t say anything to comfort him. There was only one way to change the current situation of the village, and that was to make money.
Why do young people go to the city? They don¡¯t want to stay at home. It¡¯s so comfortable. They are unfamiliar with the place outside and can¡¯t find anyone if anything happens.
No way, in order to make money, in order to survive.
¡°As long as they feel that they can make money in the village and support their families, they will come back.
After the two people entered the forest, they were no longer silent.
Grandpa warned: "Be careful. Even if you are on the periphery, you must not be careless. There may be wild boars, wild wolves and other wild beasts coming out. This happened in the past."
"It is said that you rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you rely on water to eat water. Our village relies on both mountains and water. If the transportation is more convenient, the villagers can catch fish and sell them in the town, which can also increase their income."
"There are also a lot of Chinese medicinal materials in the mountains. If you pick them and sell them, you can definitely make a lot of money. You just need to be careful about wild animals."
"In the past, there were hunters in the village, so we didn't have to worry too much about wild beasts. But now, there are no more hunters, and there are no more people to hunt wild beasts. There are more wild beasts in the mountains, which makes the villagers even more worried. I don¡¯t dare to enter the mountain anymore.¡±
"It's a pity that there are so many good things in the mountains, but there is no way to make good use of them."
Jiang Tian nodded, that was indeed the case. When he was a child, he still remembered that hunters would go up the mountain and they could often catch wild rabbits, pheasants, wild boars, etc., but they disappeared later.
While he was talking, he followed his grandfather deep into the forest. Calculated, he was still on the outer level, not even the middle level.
There are many fallen trees here, some are dead and rotten, others have sprouted new branches, and most of them are densely packed trees that are as thick as a fist.
Grandpa said: "There are too many trees here, and the old trees absorb nutrients too much, so the young trees can only grow so small. In the past, villagers often came here to cut down trees, just to reduce the number of trees. This way it can grow bigger, and now very few people come here.¡±
¡°As he said that, my grandfather took a machete and chopped it down. In just a few strokes, a small tree was chopped down.
??The purpose of cutting down trees here is to make them grow better.
Jiang Tian also got busy with a machete.
The two of them were very fast, and they cut down dozens of trees in just a short time.
Grandpa skillfully chopped off the branches on the trees with a machete. The trunks were chopped into several pieces and piled on the rope.
Soon, there was a tall tree trunk mountain.
Grandpa tied the rope and tied it tightly, repeating the same action.
There are two more mountains of tree trunks on the backs of the two of them.
"These wood can be used for a while, but you need to dry out the moisture inside first, and then come here a few times after a while to store more wood, otherwise it will be difficult to enter the mountain after winter."
"We??Let's go, there's still enough time now, come back later. "
The two returned home without wasting time and returned again.
But this time when they returned, they encountered some surprises.
Grandpa sniffed the sweet smell in the air, with an excited expression on his face, "It's honey, and the scent is coming out. It must have been attacked. Let's go and have a look."
"Be careful. The bees in the mountains sting very hard. A single sting will hurt for several days. If you are stung by a swarm of bees, you will easily be poisoned to death if not treated within a short period of time!"
They walked towards the source of the scent, walking slowly for fear of making too much noise.
After walking for about ten minutes, I saw that the weeds in front of me had been stepped on by some kind of creature. On the ground, there was a honeycomb the size of a basketball, but it was damaged. There was thick honey flowing out of it, and it had a rich sweet taste.
Grandpa walked over and said, "I didn't expect to be so lucky today. I picked up a honeycomb for nothing."
He picked up the honeycomb and tilted it slightly to prevent honey from flowing out from the damaged parts.
"Looking at the traces around it, it should be caused by the blind bear. This thing likes to eat honey most, even if it is stung, it will eat it. Now it is probably being chased by bees and left."
¡°Go back, I¡¯m lucky, I¡¯ll get you some honey tea.¡±
Taking the honeycomb and the wood, the two returned home.
Jiang Tian piled the wood in a corner of the yard, waiting for the water to dry before it could be used as firewood.
Grandpa brought a clean iron basin from the house and placed it on the ground.
Wild honeycombs are different from domestic ones in that they require a special nest foundation and a nest frame. After the honey is collected, it is placed on a honey shaker and shaken.
In just a few clicks, my grandfather peeled off the outer layer of the honeycomb, and the honey flowed down the nest and landed on the iron plate.
?Thick, amber-colored, with a strong sweet taste.
Grandpa said: "This is the best natural honey. It is definitely not comparable to those artificially processed honey. Honey can clear away heat, resolve phlegm, relieve coughs, detoxify, lose weight, whiten, and has various uses."
¡°In the past, we ate this stuff as candy to replenish body nutrients.¡±
"Today you and Dong Shihao are in a good mood. He just happened to come all the way here. He must be dry and thirsty. Drink a cup of honey tea when the time comes to ensure you feel refreshed."
