Chapter 356: Wood in Place, White Wolf Born

In fact, there is a lot of knowledge about felling trees, even if it is felling trees with a chainsaw.

For example, before felling a tree, one must "open the door."

"Opening the door" is to make a large notch on the tree by cutting or sawing, and this large notch must be large enough and deep enough.

And the direction of this "opening the door" is basically the direction in which the tree falls.

But this "opening the door" also has knowledge; it cannot be opened toward other big trees or dense forest directions.

This will cause the big tree to lean against other trees and not fall after being cut, and in this way, this tree is considered wasted, that is, it was cut in vain.

If one still wants this tree, one has to cut the tree that is being leaned on, and this behavior is called "picking the hanging."

Not a very powerful tree-felling leader would dare to touch this work, because at this time, "opening the door" is no longer useful.

This "leaned-on tree" will most likely fall along with the tree leaning on it.

However, the person who fells this "leaned-on tree" will inevitably be hit by the previous tree.

And in the process of felling this "leaned-on tree," one doesn't know when this tree will fall at all.

These are just one of the kinds of knowledge in "opening the door."

Of course, apart from not being able to "open the door" toward other big trees, things like rock piles, big ditches, and water bubbles are not okay.

And about the knowledge of felling trees, there are also things like trying to "follow human will," "follow heaven's will," and then before "calling the number," one must shout the number, and so on.

In any case, for people living in these mountains, these are basically common sense.

Wang Dazhu is worthy of being an old tree-feller; whether it is observing the falling direction of the tree before felling, then "opening the mouth," or putting the chainsaw on the tree and sawing the tree off, the speed is very fast.

The key is that every felled tree fell steadily to the place it should fall, neither hurting people nor making it very easy for Wang An and them to repair the tree branches.

The place where Wang An and them felled trees was on the outskirts of these mountains, that is, around the village, about 5 miles away from Kao Shan Tun.

This area is considered a relatively safe place, and besides, the sound of the chainsaw is quite harsh; even if there are wild beasts nearby, they will basically be scared away.

Soon, Wang Dazhu felled more than ten trees; these ten trees were of different thicknesses, the thickest diameter was about 40 centimeters, nearly half a meter, and the thinnest tree diameter was also more than 20 centimeters.

Then Wang Shun took the chainsaw to repair the tree trunks, mainly to saw off those too thick tree branches; like thinner tree branches and twigs, they were all cut down by others with axes.

In fact, to make beams, it is best to use willow wood, which is thin and strong.

However, although willow is good, this thing grows extremely slowly; even in these mountains, it is difficult to gather the beams for building three tiled houses.

Yellow birch, that is, yellow poluo, and walnut, that is even less to mention; one has to look all over the mountains, which is too difficult.

To talk about using other trees to make beams is the same, but by comparison, red pine is still the best.

Because this thing is also very strong, and this thing is relatively uniform in thickness from top to bottom.

The most critical thing is that there are many of these things.

After these ten red pines had all their branches repaired, Wang Dazhu began to fell trees again, and other people began to pull the sets.

Pulling the sets is to take the horses off the sleds and drag the repaired tree trunks to a place where they can be loaded onto the sleds.

For thick tree trunks, they are pulled home directly like this.

If it is a thin tree trunk, it has to be loaded onto a sled.

Several trees are loaded together and pulled back by sled.

However, the tree trunks used for building houses have a diameter of less than half a meter, so these repaired tree trunks are basically loaded onto sleds.

All along, without a chainsaw, felling trees was the most time-consuming.

Because normally, wanting to fell a tree with a big board saw requires a not-short time, but with a chainsaw, felling trees is actually the most time-saving.

When everyone drove the sleds away, there were only three people left in the forest, that is, Wang Dazhu, Wang An, and Wang Shun. Wang Dazhu and Wang Shun took turns felling trees and shouting numbers, and Wang An was responsible for repairing tree branches and observing whether there was danger nearby.

After each person pulled three sleds of tree trunks, it was noon.

Wang Dazhu and his two companions, who had been staying in the forest to fell trees, also went home to eat a hot meal during their free time.

In fact, the reason why they only pulled three trips was mainly because when pulling tree trunks back, the speed was very slow, and people were not sitting on the sleds but leading the horses.

By the evening, the forest was already full of tree trunks lying in all directions.

And Wang An and his two companions, who had been felling trees, also followed everyone to drive the sleds and pull the tree trunks home.

Just like that, everyone worked for 4 days, and the wood needed by Wang An's family was finally all finished.

And on the west side of Wang An's family courtyard, there was also a large pile of tree trunks.

This thing will not be lost if placed outside the courtyard, mainly because no one steals it; even if someone wants to steal it, they have to gather more than four people, otherwise, these tree trunks cannot be taken away at all.

And even if taken away, if found by tracking, although the tree trunks are not valuable, the person who stole the tree trunks will also have big trouble.

Everyone worked together for another 4 days, and the wood for Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li's family was all prepared.

However, the wood for Seeing Mu Xueli's family was felled from the mountains near Sujia Tun, otherwise, the people driving the sleds couldn't take it, which was a small matter, but the horses and mules pulling the sleds were the ones who truly couldn't take it.

It must be said that after these 8 days, these people were truly, bone-wearily exhausted.

But regardless, the matter of bricks, tiles, and timber is now completely resolved.

During this period, specifically on the second day after everyone started felling trees, the mother wolf at Wang An's home finally gave birth, and she was quite prolific, producing four pups in one litter.

What made Wang An happy was that there was indeed one white wolf among them, but unfortunately, there was only one.

Moreover, this white wolf was very thin and small, and one look was enough to tell that it had a congenital deficiency.

However, the mother wolf did not treat one better than the other and had been caring for her smallest child.

What surprised Wang An the most was that when this white wolf was born, where did the strong wind and heavy snow come from???

On the ninth day, Wang An stayed at home for a whole morning.

The reason why it wasn't a whole day was because Wang Xiaomei and Wang Xiaoli, the two little sisters, wanted to eat sparrows and squirrels.

Just as Wang An finished lunch and wanted to continue lying on the kang to sleep for a while.

He saw his little sister Wang Xiaoli pinching Wang An's nose and saying: "Big brother, big brother, I want to eat sparrows."

Then his big sister Wang Xiaomei rode directly on Wang An, shaking him and saying:

"Big brother, don't sleep anymore; if you sleep anymore, you'll become a pig."

Wang An continued to pretend to sleep and ignored his two sisters.

Then Wang Xiaoli also climbed onto the kang and, together with her sister, tormented their big brother Wang An.

Unable to withstand the soft and hard tactics of his two sisters, after lunch, Wang An took a slingshot and wandered around the village.

When Wang An hit more than 50 sparrows and more than 10 squirrels, he wandered toward Shen Wei's house.

It must be said, youth is good; no matter how tired one is from work, as long as one sleeps well for a night, the fatigue will disappear the next day, and one will become full of life again.

Mainly, the need to "get some" from women never decreases.

To talk about men being like this, women are actually the same.

Otherwise, why say that like poles repel and opposite poles attract!
