Chapter 21 The old carpenter's orders

After entering the house happily, Chen Fan got into the bed with satisfaction.

Thinking of his wife's appearance, he couldn't help but hug the quilt tightly and imagine the girl's appearance.

The next day, it was sunny and sunny. After having some breakfast early in the morning, Chen Fan carried his small schoolbag and waited by the cowshed for Chen Guangdou to take him to the town to find Hanba.

Who would have thought that as soon as Chen Guangdou took the guy to the car, he saw a group of people running in anxiously, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen! Oh, why are you still here? Go and have a look! Something big happened in the forest! Changgen's father is out!"

"What?!" Chen Guangdou was also shocked by throwing the shovel with a bang. He pulled the person out quickly and asked while running, "Changgen's father? Are you reading it wrong?"

"Oh, others don't know Chen Fan, don't Changgen's father Chen Fan yet? You can take a look!"

Seeing the two of them running out like a flash, Chen Fan looked confused.

Who are they talking about?

Changgen's father?

Changgen is a little brother from Chen Fan before. His surname is Ma. He is two years younger than Chen Fan. He has a mole on his mouth. It is very big and not good-looking. When he smiles, his face is squeezed together, his eyes are small, and his eyes are hanging. He looks ugly and vulgar, like a mouse spirit. What's more serious is that when he was a child, he was tilted and twitching, which is more similar to Zhao Sier in "Country Love". At that time, everyone disliked him, so Chen Fan was willing to play with him. At that time, if he had something to do, he would always run to Chen Fan's house. As soon as he entered the door, he would wink and stutter for a long time, "the older brother" shouted, as if he was going to lay eggs!

Changgen's father is called Ma Da, and his friends call him Uncle Ma. Uncle Ma is a carpenter, ugly, stubborn and bad temper, but he is skillful, good at making furniture, and can also repair houses. Because he is serious in his work, he does not ask for money randomly, and is also a very popular skilled craftsman in the local area.

When Chen Fan was young, he took care of eight out of ten carpenters in the villages. Everyone believed in him and was willing to deal with him.

But in recent years, Ma Dada has been crazy and has been talking all day long, as if he had seen a ghost. A few days ago, he has disappeared. Others say he is dead, but I don’t know why this guy came out again.

The cause of this matter has to start with Ma Jia’s house.

Ma Da’s family was a good life at that time. There was a large yard left by his ancestors. The yard was very exquisite, but it was too old and the house was not very solid. During that year, Ma Da took on business everywhere and accepted two young apprentices, which made a lot of money.

Later, when it rained heavily, it took two days and two nights in a row. The Yellow River said that there was a flood. Huang Tang poured into the village and many old houses collapsed. The house of Ma Da did not fall down, and a large hole more than one foot long cracked against the wall.

The old people came to see it and said that the house was too old and could not be used anymore, so they asked Ma Da to demolish and flip the house.

Ma Da thought about it, and felt that it was time to get a new one.

As soon as the roots grow, it’s time to get married. It’s useless to keep this old house.

Secondly, everyone has made money over the years, and the neighbors around have built houses, and it is not good to watch out for themselves when they are left to build an old house here.

So he found a Feng Shui master, chose a piece of land, and planned to open a house near the east end of the village, but he didn't expect that this was a serious idea, but it was a huge unlucky thing...

There were no current conditions at that time, so building a house was mostly based on the old rules. You had to choose beams first and then columns, in order to build a tall and beautiful house.

Ma Da and Chang Root ran through several nearby woods. At that time, the common woods were relatively straight, such as elm, pine, etc., but after searching, they were not very satisfied with the woods they could find. These things were either too thin or too short, and were not ideal for building large houses.

Later, someone asked him to ask that the trees in the front mountain have been scattered all over the years. If you want to find the big and thick ones, where can you go to find them? You might as well go to the back mountain to see them, with the shade and dense forests there. You might as well try your luck there.

After hearing this, Ma Da sucked his teeth. He knew that there were many trees in the back mountain, but when he learned the carpenter's skills, his master repeatedly emphasized that he said that you can do whatever you want in the front mountain, and don't touch the bang in the back mountain, this is the rule!

Ma Da didn't believe in evil, but he was still very concerned about the teacher's words. Over the years, although he didn't know why he said this, he did it in a daze. This time he heard him advise him to go to the back mountain to take a look. He instinctively reacted that he refused, but after he refused, he was a little moved.

In fact, he himself didn't understand why the trees in the back mountain could not be cut down. In the past, the teacher was alive, but he was embarrassed to do it. Now that the teacher is dead, he has to cut one secretly, and it seems that it is no big deal.

Besides, when Sandezi's father built the house, the wood was cut from the back mountain. Although the wood was a bit broken when it was transported, I didn't see anything happened over the years! Thinking of this, Ma Da was a little moved. He came to Chen Guangdou overnight to discuss it with Chen Guangdou.

But unfortunately, Chen Guangdou was not here at that time and invited someone to choose a cemetery. He didn't come back. Ma Da was also impatient and thought to forget it. Since he hadn't come back, just do it according to his own thoughts! Thinking of this, he walked into the mountain with two pies in his arms.

It is said to be a mountain, but it is not a mountain. Their more are hills, just a landform with a large mound connected to a large mound, with ups and downs, within two hundred meters.

In the past, this place was a forest farm, and it was all primeval forest. Many years ago, someone specialized in cutting wood here. When it was liberated, many people also made a living by this.

Later, it was said that the land was severely desertified, so the people above did not allow them to cut it down. They learned to plant trees and replant the seedlings. In short, most of the front of the forest was planted artificially, and there were many old forests that no one had ever visited on the back of the mountain.

The old forest was deep and dense, with many ancient trees inside. In addition to the ancient trees, there were some birds and beasts, such as pheasants, rabbits, turtle doves, and monkeys. Twenty years later, some people said there were wolves and leopards there, but few people have seen them in recent years.

In Ma Da's hand, he had a hunting rifle, a hunting rifle of iron sand. This thing was hidden secretly a long time ago and never surrendered it. At that time, he was not strict in charge. He brought this thing to defend himself and went into the forest before the day.

The primitive forest belt has never been cleaned up much. Although there are many trees, I rarely see those that are particularly straight and tall.

Ma Da searched for a whole day but didn't see anything particularly suitable. He felt that these trees were crooked and not suitable for making wooden beams. There were a few straight ones, and they were about the same as those at the foot of the mountain. When he was discouraged, he saw a pheasant in the forest running sneakily!

He was very excited and thought to himself, "Where did the pheasant come from?" He immediately tiptoed over, trying to find the right opportunity to shoot him, but he didn't want to find the right opportunity to shoot him. The pheasant was not dead, and the pheasant tilted his body and ran on the ground. He chased him from behind. He could chase him out in one breath for more than half an hour. The pheasant hit the tree and died!

Ma Da was very happy when he saw the pheasant lying on the ground and twitching. He thought to himself that after so many years, he had encountered everything. He had heard that a rabbit could not think about it and killed him under the roots of a tree, but he didn't expect that the pheasant here was also good! This is almost the same as the old man who met! Just one word, stupid!

OK, if you meet me today, you are unlucky! Don’t blame me for your life!

Thinking in his mind, he bowed and picked up the pheasant. Just as he was about to leave with the pheasant, he felt a chill behind him, as if something was staring at him.

When he turned around, his eyes lit up. It turned out that the big tree that the pheasant killed was behind him! The big tree was very high, and the top of the tree could not be seen at first sight, and the trunk was also very thick. It took two people to hug the trunk. What's even more amazing is that the tree was like a sapling cut out in a forest farm, straight upward, almost without any arc!

Isn’t this a purely natural good wooden beam?

The more I look at it, the more I like it. The big horse touches the bark. Judging from the appearance of this big tree, it should be a type of aquatic willow. The locals call this thing the King Kong willow. The reason why it has such a name is that this wood is particularly tough and ordinary swords and axes can't be cut up.

Unfortunately, this King Kong willow is rarely seen locally, especially such a big one, even in this old forest, it is not something you can see it just by seeing it!

Not to mention using this thing as a wooden beam, he would just cut it down and sell it. Such a large Vajra willow would have to be sold for several thousand yuan! When he thought of this, Ma Da was very happy. He touched the Vajra willow, as if he was touching his own child: "Come on, that's it!"

Thinking of this, he took out a piece of red cloth from his pocket and nailed it to the trunk with a nail. This is the rule of the locals. Nailing the nail to the trunk means to tell what I later, I booked this tree, don’t touch it!

After doing everything, Ma Da rushed back while it was dark. He didn't know how to talk to everyone, and he would talk to everyone.

Later, a carpenter in the next village heard about it and asked someone to send him a message.

It is said that the tree is strange. The teacher saw it many years ago, but he kept it all the time because he was afraid of something. If you believe in the words of your brother, we carpenters know that good wood is hard to come by and should not be your thing. You'd better not touch it!
