Chapter 17 Sand Wolf
Gao Baosheng woke up in the early morning of July 15th and entered the space for the first time.
He saw that the [Strength Fruit Tree] had grown to more than one meter high. The water level in the pool had increased by four inches last night, which was considered very good.
Yesterday, Baosheng did not go to work on the sand control belt. He stayed with Shen Ruobing for a day. The water level in the pool actually increased much more than the previous few days. He followed his original habit and poured all the water in the pool to the saplings, leaving only a dozen liters. .
Gao Baosheng has roughly figured out why the water level in the pool has risen. Doing good deeds makes a person happy and happy, and the water level in the pool will also rise. Therefore, this space is to allow him to put more effort into helping more people. People who need it more.
In this way, Gao Baosheng felt that the water added to his space pool every day was far from enough for the growth of the [Power Fruit Tree], and he should do something.
After breakfast, I went out with the tools with my parents. The place where they are planting sand control grass is an area where their village has not established a sand control belt for more than ten years. It is far from the village. It is very likely that the sand control grass will be inserted this year. It has no effect. When the spring wind and sand season starts next year, the entire new sand control belt will be carried away by the wind and sand. However, they still have to try if they have the opportunity. If they don't try, they will always be passive.
Today is Monday. Shen Ruobing didn't come. There are only a few younger children, who are carried behind their parents' backs. Children who are about to enter elementary school are difficult to discipline at home without their parents. If they are too naughty, you can rest assured if you take them with you. .
Arriving at the destination and looking at the endless yellow sand, Gao Baosheng felt the insignificance of human beings. It seemed that a place like this could cleanse one's soul and make one become pure.
Gao Guoliang looked at the path that the sand and wind took, and chose a headwind location that was suitable for stabilizing the sand. He asked everyone to start planting sand control grass. If the sand control grass was planted on the windward side, nothing would be left by the wind next year. .
And if the anti-sand grass can be left this year, the wind and sand in this area will be smaller. Next year, the sand will be stabilized here, and this land will be slowly stabilized in the future.
Gao Baosheng worked hard, and his physical strength was no worse than that of the young people in the village. In the morning, the sun did not come out, so everyone worked very quickly. Gao Yigong was responsible for guarding against sand and grass, but he slowed down after a few moves. , and started to prepare to be lazy.
"Brother, you used to be worse than me at work. Why are you so good now? You can plant sand-proof grass faster than my dad." Gao Yigong worked slowly and asked Gao Baosheng.
"This strength is all gained through practice. You see, my dad is the strongest in our village. Why?
He is the backbone of our family. If he doesn’t work hard, the family won’t have enough to eat, and if you don’t exercise more, you won’t be able to gain strength,” Gao Baosheng said.
Gao Baosheng knew that the people in the village had no energy to work, mostly because they couldn't keep up with nutrition. Every day was either corn or potatoes, and they couldn't see oil and water a few times a year. It was strange that their bodies had strength.
"There's no point in working in the village all day. Brother, are you going to the city in the future? You can take me with you then! If you are willing to take me there, my parents will definitely want me to go." Gao Yigong looked at Baosheng. said.
"Who said I wanted to go to the city? Besides, you are only fourteen years old. How can I get you with your height? You'd better go to school. If you want to go to the city, you must have knowledge." Gao Baosheng advised.
"I won't go to school, even if I kill you. If you study so well and are ranked first in the county in the college entrance examination, but you don't go to college, what's the point of going to school? It's enough for me to be able to read a few words now.
Now everyone says that if you want to talk to Teacher Shen about a partner, you must go to the city. Not many girls in the city stay voluntarily, and our village cannot retain new mothers-in-law." Gao Yigong said.
"It's okay, I'm in the village. You're a man, so you can't talk nonsense like a woman. Your brother, I'm fine. If Teacher Shen finds out and stops teaching in our school, then the people in the village will scold you.
"Gao Baosheng said.
"I know, hey... Brother, look who that is, he looks like the leader of the village!" Yi Gong saw a bicycle riding hard in the desert in the distance. On the car was a neatly dressed young man, and said to Gao Baosheng
.
Gao Baosheng raised his head, this was not the young man from Deputy Mayor Li's office in the countryside. What could he do if he came here at this time!
Gao Guoliang obviously knew the other person, so he hurriedly greeted him. The young man rode his bicycle next to Gao Guoliang, pushed the bicycle and followed Gao Guoliang to where everyone worked.
"Baosheng, this is Director Liu from the township. He is working with Deputy Mayor Li to guide and supervise the sand prevention and tree planting in our township." Gao Guoliang saw Director Liu pushing his bicycle to Baosheng's side and introduced him to Baosheng.
Baosheng is too lazy to pay attention to this kind of person. Now he is very bureaucratic at a young age, and he will not be a good official in the future. Although he can't change much now, he doesn't want to have too many interactions with this kind of person.
"Village Chief Gao, I have met with Baosheng. I came to Gaojiawan today mainly because the city leaders came to our township yesterday and gave some opinions on the sand prevention and tree planting work in our township.
It’s hard to work in this village! Chief Li asked me to come to Gaojiawan because he wanted to invite Baosheng to visit the village. Chief Li wants to talk to you about something." Director Liu said to Gao Baosheng with a smile.
"Thank you, Mayor Li, for your consideration, but our work in Gaojiawan is tight these days. I'm just a farmer, so I can't help the mayor of much!" Gao Baosheng said without even raising his head.
Director Li knew that Gao Baosheng did not want to go to the countryside, and he might have guessed the purpose of Mayor Li calling him. But today, Mayor Li specially sent him to invite Gao Baosheng. If he couldn't take him with him, the leader might lose his temper.
"Brother Baosheng is so humble. In our nine villages in Luojiawan Township, only Gaojiawan has sand control grass. This is all due to Brother Baosheng.
It’s already mid-July, and the lack of sand control grass will affect our entire township. If other villages don’t have sand control this year, your village will be under great pressure, right? When we get to the township, Mayor Li will have a good talk with Brother Baosheng!” Li
Gao Baosheng could clearly hear the underlying meaning of the clerk's words, but he still didn't reply a word, concentrating on his own business.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gao Guoliang originally wanted to persuade his son, but he also heard what Director Liu meant, so he turned away and ignored it.
Director Liu said a lot of things sincerely, but Gao Baosheng didn't respond at all. Seeing that everyone here was concentrating on their own work and no one paid attention to him, Director Liu could only turn around and leave.
When other people in the village saw that even the leaders of the township came to ask Gao Baosheng for help, they looked at him differently. He had not lost his temper for his daring to treat the leader of the township like that, and everyone was curious and admired him.
"Baosheng, why is the village leader looking for you? He's not angry even if you drag him like this!" Heizi's father came to Baosheng and asked with a smile, and everyone else in the village also listened with pricked ears.
"Every personal thing is a trivial matter." Gao Baosheng obviously didn't want to answer.
Heizi's father was not dissatisfied with other people in the village. They chatted about things in the village while working. Luojiawan was so big, all they could talk about were trivial things.
"Baosheng, other villages in this township are short of sand grass. Since Mayor Li has spoken, it is best if you can help. If other villages do not prevent sand, it will be too difficult for our village to handle this sandy season alone!
Settle the relationship with the village leaders so that we can handle things easily in the future." Gao Guoliang came to Baosheng and whispered.
"I know, they asked me to help prevent sand and weeds. Yesterday, the city leaders came, and the township and county must be having a headache!
A small clerk wants to command me. I am not from their village, and I don't ask him to do things. Then Deputy Township Head Li will come again. The remaining sand-control grass in our township needs to be transported back. I don't have 20,000 yuan.
It's impossible." Gao Baosheng said.
"It's good that you have confidence in your heart!" Gao Guoliang felt relieved when his son said this.
When it was time to eat at noon, everyone took out the dry food and ate it slowly. Baosheng saw his cousin Yi Gong slowly nibbling a mouthful of water and a mouthful of dry food. It was too hot today and many people were not in good spirits.
"Good work." Gao Baosheng said.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Gao Yigong raised his head and asked.
"Come here, I'll show you something good." Gao Baosheng said and walked behind the pile of sand in the distance.
Gao Yigong followed him quickly, and Gao Baosheng walked a hundred meters to a pile of sand and took out a roast chicken from his pocket.
"Roast chicken! Brother, you brought roast chicken!" Gao Yigong said in surprise.
"Come on, eat! I bought it from the county yesterday. There were too many people to eat, so you can do it quietly." Gao Baosheng washed his hands, tore off a chicken leg and started to chew on it.
Gao Yigong imitated Gao Baosheng's example, washed his hands and started eating.
Baosheng saw that there was not much water in his cousin's kettle. It was too hot today, so he opened his own kettle and poured more than half of it into his cousin's kettle.
"Brother, give me the water, why are you drinking? It's so hot today!" Gao Yigong asked while eating chicken and looking at Baosheng.
"You eat yours, I have enough water!" Gao Baosheng took a sip of water from his own kettle and continued eating chicken.
In less than ten minutes, the two of them had finished eating the two kilograms of chicken and even the dry food they had brought with them. Gao Yigong was still unsatisfied.
"Brother, I have never eaten such delicious roast chicken." Gao Yigong said happily.
"When I go to the county in the future, I will buy it for you to eat," Baosheng said.
"Forget it, it costs money!" Gao Yigong said.
"It's my business to spend money. What are you worried about? After this work is finished, I plan to tie up the kiln for my fourth uncle and get him a wife. From now on, our family will eat white flour every day." Gao Baosheng was tidying up.
Chicken bones, he said.
"Bragging, hoop kilns cost a lot of money!" Gao Yigong said.
"Tch! You little brat, I won't tell you!" Gao Baosheng waved his hand and said.
In the past, Gao Yigong would have definitely fought back, but today he was surprisingly silent. Gao Baosheng is now getting more and more attention in the village. Even Teacher Shen from the city has a good relationship with him. Who in the village does not envy him?
I admire and worship you even more.
The two of them had eaten and drank enough. Gao Yigong had never felt so comfortable. He felt that the sun was no longer so fierce, and his whole body was full of strength.
Walking back to the crowd, most of the villagers were still eating dry food, and only some children were playing in the distance. Gao Baosheng suddenly saw a figure not far away, quietly approaching a child. He was so frightened that he shouted hurriedly.
"It's Sand Wolf!"
Gao Baosheng shouted while running towards the sand wolf, his speed was very fast. When Gao Baosheng heard Gao Baosheng's voice, he also noticed the sand wolf appeared, and hurriedly ran up after him.
"Heizi!" Heizi's mother shouted when she saw this. Heizi's father saw that the target of the sand wolf was actually his child, so he ran towards the child like crazy, but he was too far away.
The two sand wolves were slowly approaching the child. When Gao Baosheng noticed them, they quickly ran towards Heizi. Heizi was six years old, and he also knew the sand wolves were afraid, so he ran with all his strength towards Gao Baosheng, who was closest to him.
The sand wolf was indeed fast. Gao Baosheng tried his best but was still a step too late. The sand wolf pounced directly on Heizi. As a child who grew up in the desert, Heizi instinctively saved himself and fell forward. The sand wolf unexpectedly fell from
He flew over his head, fell to the ground and turned around to pounce on Heizi again.
At this time, Gao Baosheng finally arrived. He chased after the sand wolf. The sand wolf wanted to bite Heizi's neck, but when he saw Baosheng approaching, he stopped and turned around, grinning at Baosheng and letting out a low growl.
Gao Baosheng knows how powerful sand wolves are. Although they are small in size, they are the most powerful existence in the desert. Sand wolves have much greater endurance than humans in the desert. If they are surrounded by them, it will be difficult for anyone to escape.
Their pursuit.
It's just that the sand wolves in the Luojiawan desert have gradually formed a tacit understanding with the local people. The two sides usually do not attack each other. Today, when the two sand wolves attacked Heizi, they must have not eaten for a long time.
The hungry sand wolf is the scariest thing. When Gao Baosheng heard the deep roar of this sand wolf, he did not flinch at all and blocked the sand wolf behind him. At this time, another sand wolf came up.
"Brother, I'm here!" Gao Yigong was not afraid of the sand wolf at all. He actually rushed towards the sand wolf and fought hard with his fists. Wasn't this asking for death?
Gao Baosheng was nervous, but he saw the two sand wolves taking a few steps back, and Gao Yigong immediately retreated to Gao Baosheng's side, and he actually scared the sand wolves.
"This sand wolf is timid. The more powerful you are, the less they dare to provoke it. If you encounter a sand wolf with hungry red eyes, you will definitely die if you dare to show your back to it." Gao Yigong said to Gao Baosheng.
What these Gao Baosheng didn't know was that the two sand wolves saw that Gao Yigong was not easy to deal with, and there were two of them. The villagers in the distance were chasing them together with tools. When they saw the two wolves, they turned around and ran away.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm. Heizi's father and mother saw that their son was unharmed and kept saying words of gratitude to Gao Baosheng. Heizi was their eldest son. If Gao Baosheng hadn't discovered it in time and acted quickly today, Heizi would have been in trouble.
Everyone also agreed with Gao Baosheng's bravery. In the past, some villagers would say that Gao Baosheng only knew how to read and was weak. After today, who can say such things again.
Gao Yigong told everyone with a proud face how he drove away two wolves and rescued Heizi in a one-on-one manner. He was talking about spitting and flying, and the villagers listened with smiles. If Heizi had an accident,
, it will not be easy for all of them.
