After the heavy snow falls, we’ll just go into the mountains and fell a few more trees. Haul them back and throw them there, and they’ll be ready to use next spring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Wang Dazhu seemed to have thought of something, suddenly lifted the chainsaw in his hand, turned his head, and said to Wang An:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you wanting to use this wood to make some furniture? If you want to use it, I’ll leave the good pieces for you. Anyway, there’s still a lot of wood in the backyard of our old house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, no need to leave any. I don't have any furniture I want to make, I just feel like burning such thick tree trunks is a waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said that the pine trunk Wang Dazhu was sawing at this moment had a diameter of nearly half a meter, and it was about the same thickness from top to bottom; it could definitely be called high-quality timber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, such good timber was sawed into small sections by Comrade Wang Dazhu, who was always stingy with his living; to tell the truth, this was simply destroying a precious thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no other way; the main thing was that the tree resources were too good, and the local people didn't take timber seriously at all; they just wasted it and used it as they pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To tell the truth, at this time, when local people burned firewood to cook, no one was even willing to burn branches; everyone only wanted to burn wood, splitting thick logs and just burning them as firewood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what is very strange is that even though the local people didn't take trees seriously, the large trees around the village never seemed to decrease, and they actually grew better year by year; it’s no wonder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only on the side of the forest farm, perhaps because of the logging methods, did empty patches appear in the forest. After many years, they even came up with slogans like \"Protect trees, prohibit indiscriminate logging, and give animals back a home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is that they cut down the trees themselves, and the money from selling the trees all went into their own pockets, but then they asked others to protect trees, plant forests, and give animals a home again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You say, what should one say about this day after day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Wang An say this, Wang Dazhu glared at Wang An with his eyelids and said irritably:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just wasting time. Since when were you so thrifty? Be quick and move the wood to the cellar. Just day after day...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An smiled and didn't care, pulled the cart over, and started loading the wood. After filling it, he pushed the cart directly into the cellar along the slope at the cellar entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stack the thick tree trunks one by one in the cellar, trying not to leave too many gaps between the trunks, because if the gaps are too large, it is easy to increase the chance of producing open flames. In this way, the burning speed of the trunks will accelerate, leading to the ground fire dragon stopping heating early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even if there are some gaps, it’s not a big problem, because this is when wet sawdust is needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for sawdust, Wang An’s family is not short of it. When building the house in the spring, Wang An’s family collected a lot, a lot of sawdust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the fuel of the ground fire dragon, dry sawdust is absolutely not okay; it must be wet sawdust that has been watered, because only wet sawdust has a flame-retardant effect, preventing the trunks from catching fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all the tree trunks from several cartloads were pushed into the combustion cellar, Wang An said to Huang Zhong, who was watering and stirring the sawdust:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Zhong, you push the sawdust in. Just unload it to one side. Push two cartloads first; two cartloads will be enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Huang Zhong developed slowly and had less strength, the best thing about this child was that he was obedient; he did whatever he was told, and wouldn't even say a word of rebuttal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after Wang An finished speaking, Huang Zhong agreed and started loading sawdust with another cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like this, cartload after cartload of tree trunks were pushed into the combustion cellar, and then shovel after shovel of wet sawdust were poured into the gaps between the trunks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them worked together, each performing their own duties, and the speed was very fast. It only took one morning to fill both combustion cellars with fuel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the combustion cellars filled with fuel, Wang An asked Wang Dazhu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, when should we light the fire? Or should we start burning now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dazhu thought for a moment and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When is Xueqing’s due date?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the birth time of his child, Wang An remembered it very firmly; you have to know that this is the continuation of Wang An’s bloodline after living two lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wang An said without hesitation upon hearing this:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s at the end of this month, around the beginning of next month. Dad, are you thinking of lighting the fire then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dazhu thought for a moment and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it’s quite cold before dark. Let’s start burning now. Mix the mud; once the fire is lit, we can seal the cellar door with bricks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1368,"2026-06-12T12:41:05.068Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3253c9124c5c172efbc4702d69563ae4ac9284ffc9e7357a57edac1e57c9f630","reborn-in-the-80s-mountain-hunting-is-also-a-lif-chapter-1130","reborn-in-the-80s-mountain-hunting-is-also-a-lif-chapter-1128",1172,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-the-80s-mountain-hunting-is-also-a-lif-cover.jpg"]
