Qilian Village is located on the edge of the Qilian Mountains.

It is said that in the past, the trees were lush and rivers were crisscrossing, and people grazed cattle and sheep, planted and cultivated, and were happy and worry-free. But now, there are no trees on the mountain, and only some half-dead weeds grew sparsely. In front of the village, it turned into an endless desert.

Due to water shortage and severe desertification of the land, people in Qilian Village went out to make a living.

A few years ago, the government introduced tributaries of the Yellow River more than ten kilometers away and mobilized villagers to go there, so many people moved out of the village.

Now there are only a few families left in the village who are nostalgic for their hometown, including Cai Hongming's family. However, their family also bought a house in the town and usually lives there. They only come here once a few days. Once their family leaves, there are only a few widowed elderly people left in the village. Every time in the wind, the yellow sand blows all over the sky, which sets off the lonely village and the elderly inside, making people feel indescribable desolation.

When Cai Hongming returned to the village, he saw Bagong who showed people Feng Shui killing a fat rabbit by the well.

After the land desertification is severe, the village wells no longer come out. Even if there is, it is still difficult to swallow yellow, turbid, salty and alkaline water. The water in this well is actually the spring water flowing out of the Qilian Mountains. It only occurs when the rain is abundant in spring and summer, and it will dry up in autumn and winter. A few years ago, he specially dug a canal to lure the spring water into the dry wells in the village, and the wells will have water again.

He grew up in southern Fujian when he was a child, and only moved here to study when he was in junior high school.

After graduating from junior high school, because of poor grades and not liking to study, I went out to work. Later, I got tired of working for others, so I ran back and set up a stall in the town to sell barbecue. After a few years, I felt that I could support myself.

I remember when he came to Gulang to see the environment here, his first feeling was desolation. Later, when he arrived in Qilian Village, he thought to himself that there were people living in this place where birds do not shit.

In southern Fujian, even the barren land will grow countless weeds after being moistened by rain. However, Qilian Village did not even have grass at that time, and there was no tree. Later, he couldn't stand it, so he bought saplings and came back to plant. After a few years, he planted trees around the village. Now the saplings have grown into big trees, lush and green, barely blocking some wind and sand blowing from outside, which made Cai Hongming feel very accomplished.

"Haodun, the food is good today!" Cai Hongming parked the car and teased Hachigong who was killing the rabbit.

"It's more important to say, when you come to your house to eat later, we will have two drinks." The eighth duo smiled happily. The old man is like a child. If you praise him a few words, you will be so happy.

"Okay."

Now there is only one Eighth Master who shows Feng Shui left in the village, one who farms the fifth Master, one who grazed sheep, and one who is fool Fu. Among these people, Eighth Master is the most casual. He buys delicious food whenever he has time to improve his food. Unlike the third Master who grazed sheep, he puts it away whenever he has money, hides it tightly, and is extremely stingy.

The two were talking when a big man walked out of the house next to him. Seeing Cai Hongming turn back to the house, he took out a big red apple from the house and stuffed it into his arms.

"Your Uncle Fu is the best for you. The apples I brought back last time were kept for you to eat, and I didn't listen to them no matter how I said it."

"Thank you, Uncle Fu." Cai Hongming took the apple and bitten it, sweet.

Uncle Fu has a problem with his mind and is stupid, but fortunately, he can take care of himself and treats him very well. He leaves anything delicious to him every time.

After eating the apples, Cai Hongming went to the car to move the things he brought back to each house. It took half a day to drive from the town to buy things, so the old people usually asked him to bring them with him if they had anything to buy. After delivering the things, seeing that nothing was wrong, Cai Hongming changed into old clothes and walked out, but was stopped by Hachi Gong.

"It's time to eat, where are you going?"

"I'll go to the mountain to take a look."

"When can't watch it? I'm running around when I'm about to eat, and I'll go after I finish my meal."

After hearing what he said, Cai Hongming had no choice but to give up.

Lunch was made by the fool Fu. Speaking of which, Uncle Fu is good, he can work and cook, but he is so stupid. His intelligence is below the average level of children, and he needs to teach everything step by step, so no one is willing to marry him until now. Which woman would be willing to marry a fool, let alone in such a place.

After dinner, Cai Hongming took a break and walked out of the village.

He walked around the village and saw that all the seedlings planted this year survived, so he nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the mountain behind the village.

In recent years, he bought saplings to plant them on the edge of the village, hoping that when the saplings grow, they will become circles of protective forests to protect the village in the middle to resist the increasingly violent wind and sand attacks outside. However, it seems that the effect is not very good now. Because as long as the wind blows, the wind and sand will fly all over the sky and cover the sun. His small windproof circle is not enough to see at all. However, it finally brought a little green to this desolate place, unlike before. Looking around, it was apart from a depressed yellow, but it was still yellow.

The tree closest to the village in the windbreak forest was planted by him a few years ago, and now he has become a talent.

This is the poplar in the desert, which is known as "a thousand years of life without death, a thousand years of death without falling, a thousand years of immortality, a thousand years of poplar, a thousand years of history, a thousand years of poplar, a hundred million years of history". I don't know if it is the reason for planting trees, but the well in the village that stores spring water has not been dry in the past two years even in the drought season.

Water waters the trees, and the trees block the wind, forming a cycle that will never stop, just like the inheritance of the world.

Cai Hongming planted trees every year, and now he has planted two shelter forests made of trees around the village. The first shelter forest is twenty meters, five rows of trees, the second windbreak ring is thirty meters, and ten rows of trees. There is a large area of ​​land between the two shelter forests to plant things. The land in the village is actually very fat, but a layer of sand is covered with sand from the wind and sand that blows over, and it becomes impossible to cultivate because of lack of water. Now the wind and sand are blocked, and you can only plant things by shoveling off the fine sand on it.

At the beginning of spring this year, he spent a lot of money to plant the third forty-meter-wide shelterbelt. If he grows up next year, the village should no longer have to worry about wind and sand attacks.

Qilian Village is located next to the remnants of Qilian Mountains, and behind the village is a winding mountain range. In the past, the trees were lush and vegetation was vigorous, but later the trees were cut down. In addition, the drought and water shortage were severely damaged, and now there are only clusters of withered wild grasses with a little green in the east and west, remaining on the mountain.

Cai Hongming climbed to the mountain behind the village, stood on it, and looked into the distance.

A long yellow sand in the distance comes into view, and even further away are rolling hills, all made of all yellow sand. This is the world of yellow sand, the ocean of yellow sand, and the continuous yellow sand is connected with the sky. I can’t imagine where the end is!

After watching for a while, he walked back.

After walking for about half an hour, the yellow hillside, which originally had only yellow weeds, gradually appeared green. When we walked forward, we saw a bush. Looking into the distance, tall trees appeared in our eyes. It was the main vein of the Qilian Mountains, where the trees were lush and lush, and the plants were vigorous, exuding vitality, which was in a strong contrast with the dead desert.
