125-126.Ancient Trees (5000 words)

"Sun Gang, we probably will change the place after the section." Zhao Han said inadvertently after coming out of the Water Curtain Cave and in the car.[]

"Where to change?"

"It's the newly developed area to the east of the county town." Zhao Han's home is just east of the county town. He just passed the Huaihe Bridge, and the newly developed area is not far from her home.

"Isn't that done yet?" I don't jump.

"It's almost done, the county government has moved." There was originally some land or wasteland on the east side of the county town, which was marked out, covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres and redeveloped. In the future, the government, some bureaus and offices will gradually move from the old city.

"Let's take a look." Sun Gang suggested.

Sun Gang drove to the newly developed area, with building materials everywhere on the roadside, and many workers were busy.

After getting off the bus, I arrived at the government square where the floor tiles were being laid. The square construction site under the scorching sun. Sweaty workers paved and compacted the polished granite floor tiles one by one.

In order to create a landscape of "big tree forest", dozens of big trees were transplanted from the mountains. In order to green the square, many ancient trees were transplanted from the mountains. Most of the transplanted big trees died and turned into "bare trees".

There are four maple trees and ash on the square that are dug out with roots and lying quietly on the side of the road. The canopy of these trees has long been cut off, and the roots are exposed in the air. Next to the tree, a tree pit with a diameter of about one meter is left.

Triangular maple trees have elegant postures, beautiful dry skin, yellow and green flowers in spring, and yellow leaves in autumn and winter should be blue in the sky, so they are suitable for viewing. They are good landscaping and leaf-viewing trees. They are more suitable for use as streets or shade trees and lawns.

The ash wax is the only precious tree species of ash wax in the world today. It is the best of the world's attractions, bonsai and root carving families. It is known as the "living fossil" or "dry bonsai". The ash wax grows slowly and has a long lifespan, reaching 2,000.

Around the year.

The tree has beautiful shape, old and elegant root joints, and has extremely high ornamental value. The leaves are small and beautiful, with green leaves, dense and vertical symmetrical, resistant to picking and pruning, and excellent shape. The tree is delicate, strong, creamy and bright in color, and is one of the best materials for root carving.

"Summer should be a season of lush grass and trees. These trees have no leaves, which is too inconsistent with the surrounding scenery." Zhao Han looked very sorry.

"Oh, this is the zf project, there is nothing we can do." Sun Gang felt even more regretful. These are the best ancient trees in the mountains, and they have been ruined like this.

The county is backed by the Taibai Mountains, located in the tropical and warm zones of the northern ya, which is a north-south climate transition zone. There are more than 2,000 plants, and the precious plants of the country include Metasequoia, Yew, Iron Mountain, Fragrant Fir, Fragrant Chess, Lianxiang Tree, Tianzhu Osmanthus, Green Sandalwood, Tassel, Triangular Maple, Fragrant Maple, Fragrant Maple, Wuwanzi, etc., forming a forest ecosystem that is compatible with the north and the south, called the Natural Biogenic Gene Bank and the Natural Museum.

There are many famous ancient trees on the mountain, with more than 100 ancient trees such as Han cypress and ginkgo trees that are more than a thousand years old. Especially the thousand-year-old ginkgo trees existing in Qingquan Temple in Huaiyuan Scenic Area are the best in the Central Plains. Next to the tree is a stone tablet erected in the 11th year of Yongzheng. The monument contains:

"The ancient temple Qingquan Temple, the tall ginkgo in front of the temple is thousands of years away. Looking at its situation, it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, connected to the shade of trees, and birds live in it, and the bamboo forest is dense." The main trunk of the tree is 9.8 meters and the base is 11.

meter, tree height is 27.5 meters, crown diameter is 25.5 meters.

It is said that among the many ecological parks at the foot of the mountain, famous scenic trees and ancient trees on the mountain that are endangered, can be found here. About 7 kilometers east of the county town, there is a large ecological park. Large trees with diameters of more than 30 cm, such as cucumbers, soap beans, maple poplars, etc., with densely planted, some of which are less than one meter apart.

There are more than a dozen ancient and famous wood manors in all sizes, covering an area of ​​more than 2,000 acres. More than 200,000 ancient and famous woods are planted normally. The annual transaction volume reaches more than 100,000, the amount reaches 100,000 yuan, and the huge profits are tens of millions of yuan. The survival rate of large trees is extremely low (30), and tens of thousands die every year. The loss of ecology and species death cannot be estimated.

The loggers sold them to the ancient tree gardens ranging from 300 to 2,000 yuan per tree, and then resold them to the ancient tree gardens and big cities in other places for 10,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan, making huge profits from them.

It is transported to provincial capitals and other large cities for urban landscape construction, landscaping, exhibition industry, etc.

The large trees with a diameter of more than 30 cm on the suburbs are basically gone, leaving behind "wounds". These precious tree species are almost gone after being scattered and dug in a crazy way.

In a newly built community in the county town, there are more than ten trees with a diameter of more than 20 cm. A tree with a diameter of about 40 cm has been cut off the branches and most of the trunks and are supported by a shelf.

In other communities, greening of big trees has also become a selling point for real estate sales. Many real estate companies’ main advertisements are “forests” and “greens”.

Fortunately, the transportation in the primitive deep forest was inconvenient, otherwise the ancient trees inside would have suffered, and occasionally one or two were dug out.

Nowadays, big tree decoration industry, fungi industry development, charcoal firing, pit wood transportation, etc. have become the driving force for large-scale deforestation.

"Uncle, are you doing this?" Sun Gang stepped forward and handed the cigarette and looked at several workers digging trees.

This is an ancient soapberry tree with a history of about 300 years and a diameter of about 1 meter.

Shu couldn't even hug him, so he had to hug him together.

"Xiao, what are you doing?" One of them was a little older, who looked like the person in charge. He took Sun Gang's cigarette and started chatting. His name was Lao Li.

"I live nearby, come and have nothing to do." Sun Gang said, "What have you dug up?"

"None of these trees survived, so of course they had to be dug out." Old Li said naturally.

"Then are all these trees processed?" Sun Gang had the idea of ​​these trees.

"It's usually sold and handed over to the above part, and the rest are divided." It seems that they often do this.

"Can you sell it to me?" Sun Gang tentatively said without jumping.

"Xiao, why do you want this dead tree?" Old Li advised him for the sake of Sun Gang's cigarette, "Brother, these trees cannot survive. You usually buy them for building materials, furniture, etc."

"Brother Li, do you think I'm getting married soon? Of course I have to make some furniture." Sun Gang pointed at Zhao Han beside him, and Zhao Han blushed a little without refuting.

Of course, Sun Gang did not use these ancient trees as furniture. These ancient trees have grown for hundreds of years and will not die so thoroughly. If there is space, Sun Gang will definitely "rescue" them.

Lao Li thought about it and said ok, whoever sells it is not as long as the money you give is reasonable."

"Take this ancient soapberry tree as an example. It has a history of nearly 300 years. If you live, the current market price is around 100,000 yuan." Lao Li said, "Of course, those who die must not be worth the price."

"Scared me." Sun Gang pretended to wipe the sweat from his head.

After statistics, there are 2 maple trees, 4 ash, 2 maple poplar trees, and a large ancient soap tree.

Finally, after bargaining, Sun Gang spent more than 30,000 yuan to get the 9 trees. Old Li promised to send them to his home.

"By the way, Brother Li, if there are these trees in the future, please call me." Sun Gang exchanged contact information with Lao Li and established a good relationship with him.

"Okay, I'm a happy guy." Old Li saw that Sun Gang was so real to get the money.

"Xiaohan, tell your parents that I won't go to your house anymore, just take them home." Sun Gang said to Zhao Han.

"Sun Gang, why have you bought so many dead tree trunks?" Zhao Han kept looking at the man quietly. She didn't interrupt when buying the tree, "I don't mean you are using it to make furniture."

"I see that the roots of these trees are still watery and obviously not dead, but they don't have time to let them survive." After all, the county government has moved here, and the square only has bare trunks, which is definitely not good-looking.

"Oh, so that's the case. Are you sure to plant them alive?" Zhao Han asked.

"Try it, what if I live, let's talk about it, it would be a pity to use these trees to split them." Zhao Han didn't have space for this treasure. As long as it is not dead, I don't worry if they are planted alive.

"I'll go with you too," Zhao Han then called her parents and went home with Sun Gang.

Sun Gang drove the car in front and followed a large truck behind him, pulling two big trees on the car, and it was estimated that it would take 4-5 trips to finish.

The car passed through the east end of the village, which caused heated discussion among the villagers.

"Gangwoo, what are you doing?" Dad Sun watched as he drove directly to the orchard, followed by a truck behind him, so he hurried to ask.

"Dad, I'll explain to you later. Find some people and unload these two trees." Sun Gang told Dad Sun to find a few more people and get some ropes. After all, this tree is relatively large, with a few hundred kilograms per tree.

Dad Sun quickly went to the village to ask for help. Since it was the slack season, Dad Sun brought more than a dozen laborers to help.

A dozen people tied the trees and moved them down the car step by step with a shoulder pole.

"Gangwoo, why are you working on these big trees?" Zhang Dasuo asked.

The truck left and continued to pull the trees here. Sun Gang asked everyone not to leave first, how many trips will be left.

Sun Gang asked Zhao Han to go home to help Sun's mother cook together. There were more than a dozen people, and there were only ones.

After working hard for a few times, it was almost dark before I pulled all the nine trees to the orchard. I paid the money with the visitor, and Sun Gang arranged for everyone to go to the house for dinner.

At the dinner table, they asked Sun Gang what it was for buying these trees.

"I bought these and prepared to grow them, and others dealt with them at a low price." Sun Gang explained to everyone.

"You want to plant these trees?" Dad Sun was very surprised after hearing this and hurriedly persuaded me and said, "Gangwoo, you can't burn it with money."

"But can you guarantee to plant life? I look at the mysterious season... and then you look at some trees, they are all dry." Zhang Dasuo kept persuading. As his nephew, Sun Gang really couldn't bear to see the other party jump into the big pit.

There is a saying in rural areas that "trees move to death, people move to live." Especially for big trees, few people move to move to death, and if you are not careful, they will move to death.

"It's okay, I'm sure to plant life." He couldn't give this guy a detailed plan. With space as a cheater, he was 100% sure that these trees could plant life.

"By the way, please come and help me in the morning to plant the trees." Such big trees are not something that a few people can plant, and they can't even move them.

"Okay, it's okay anyway." Everyone agreed.

Then, everyone let go of their stomachs and started to eat and drink.

Sun Gang returned to the orchard at night and raised a few buckets of water from the space to water the roots of several trees one by one.

The next morning, Sun Gang got up at around five o'clock, with the blue sky and a cool breath.

If it was another season, it would be dark at 5:30, especially in winter. But in summer, it was really bright at 5:30. It was said that I was getting up early, but it was actually not too early, because many people had already gotten up at this time.

Except for the sun has not officially appeared, the sky is already bright.

Looking up at the sky, the stars that were about to be swallowed by the light blinked their lazy eyes. On this joyful morning, some people have already started their busy work. While the sun has not yet come out and the weather is cool, they go down to the ground to pull a few handfuls of weeds.

The summer in the village is busy, especially on summer mornings.

Half-large corn and cotton are growing, and they need to be constantly weeded, constantly dressed and applied medicine. The increasingly mature early rice is like a full stomach, bent over and showing off its hard work to grow to others.

The adults thought of setting up corn and cotton before harvesting early rice. So before the sun could reach the village, they would do almost the work they had to do in the day, so that when the sun moved its body to the village, its light would be burning and they could not go to the ground to work.

The mornings in the village come much earlier than those on the bell, and start with the chirping of the cuckoos hovering over the roof. When the first "Cuckoo Cuckoo" was clearly remembered in the village, some diligent adults got up from the bed, turned on the lights, and yawned while thinking about the things they would do in the day.

After washing up, the adults in the village called out the sleeping children. The older ones had to go to the fields with the adults to help with their work. Some were either big or small ones cook pots at home, some sweeping the floor and wiping the table, and some were washing clothes. The youngest ones were comfortable and could continue to sleep.

Before leaving, the adults shouted loudly at the door of their homes that they were about to get up and don’t burn the food.” They were afraid that the sleepy children would fall asleep again.

However, before adults go home, children will prepare the food. Adults often see whether the children sleep secretly when they see the food.

The chickens in the chicken coop were a little lost. They squeezed me and I squeezed you. They often squeezed open the unsolid door of the chicken coop, humming and making noise at the door. When Sun just opened the door and just opened a crack, they couldn't wait to flap their wings and rushed into the house. Some shouted happily in the open space in front of the door and chased.

At this time, Sun Gang held a gourd full of rice or corn in one hand, grabbed a handful of it from the gourd, and sprinkled it into the empty field in front of him like a net, constantly calling out a "giggle" sound. When the chickens heard the call of their owners, they rushed to the place where the rice or corn were sprinkled, and kept pecking at the food on the ground without raising their heads.
