Chapter 170 Cutting down trees
"Qing'er, is there something wrong with this tree? What's different about it? I really can't see what's different about it."
Yu Qingshu looked at Yu Qingqing blankly, not knowing what she was going to do.
Yu Qingshu's bewildered expression made Yu Qingqing laugh. Seeing that he really couldn't guess the purpose of the tree, she didn't keep him in suspense any longer.
She walked forward and gestured at the tree a few times. Then she said, "Dad, cut down this tree according to the position I just gestured.
I plan to use it to make a tool for pounding wheat, and then we can... "
Before Yu Qingqing could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yu Qingshu.
With a look of delight on his face, he said excitedly, "Qing'er, you mean to use it to pound wheat. Does that mean we can eat pancakes made from white flour in the future?"
This is something Yu Qingshu has never eaten in his life.
I never thought that escaping famine could help me realize this unattainable wish.
Yu Qingqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and quickly echoed:
"Yes, Dad! As long as we grind the wheat into flour, we can have bread to eat!"
After Yu Qingqing finished speaking, she walked forward and cleaned up the messy things on the tree.
Then he made room for Yu Qingshu, preparing to let him cut down the tree first.
Yu Qinghai, Hua Qinglu and others were standing nearby, and they naturally understood what Yu Qingqing had just said.
Everyone was full of anticipation at the thought of eating the delicious wheat pancakes.
Their mouths unconsciously secreted saliva, as if the biscuit was already in their mouths. This was something they had never dared to dream of before.
The place where Yu Qinghai was bitten by the snake has been bandaged, and he also feels that the wound is not as painful as before.
Although it was finally confirmed that the snake was not poisonous, Yu Qingqing was afraid and they had no shortage of food for the time being, so they naturally did not keep the snake.
The good thing is that Qinghai only injured his leg and there is no problem with his hand.
So he walked up to the tree, looked at it, and shouted to Yu Qingshu who was about to chop it down:
"Dad, wait a moment, if you are the only one chopping down this tree.
It will definitely be tiring and slow, so let your son come first and we can chop trees together.
This will definitely be faster and save a lot of time!"
He also stepped forward and took the big knife from Yu Qingshu. Yu Qingshu did not insist any more. After all, what he said made sense.
It is natural that two people can chop down a tree faster than one person, and they will not be too tired.
Yu Qingshu: "Okay then! You chop the trees first, and if you get tired, call me, but you also have to be careful with the wound on your leg.
Although it is not big, don't pull it too much, otherwise it will delay your recovery.
After all, there was no medicine to apply and the weather was so hot.
Just like Qing'er said, it is easy to be infected. Be careful or there may be a bigger hidden danger later."
Yu Qingshu was still a little worried about the wound on his son's leg.
But he is a grown man with thick skin and strong bones, so he probably won't be too pretentious.
When Yu Qinghai heard that his father cared about him, he felt as sweet as eating honey.
He chuckled and felt that chopping trees gave him more strength. Soon, a big hole appeared on the tree lying on the ground.
At this speed it really won't take too much time.
This tree looked like it had been dead for quite some time. The wood inside had been dried out by the sun and could not be dried any more. If used for burning, it would quickly burn.
Yu Qingqing stood aside and saw what was happening inside the trees, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
I never thought that my feeling was right. This tree really looks great.
Even if it is not used as a wheat pounding tool, it can be used for other purposes. It seems that it cannot be wasted!
Having made up her mind, Yu Qingqing showed a gentle smile on her face.
If Yuan Xichen was standing nearby, he would probably be mesmerized by Yu Qingqing's smile.
After chopping for a while, Yu Qinghai was tired and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
Sweat flowed down his cheeks, and soon the sweat on his back soaked his clothes.
Yu Qingshu: "Xiao Hai, just take a rest aside and let daddy do the chopping. I'll chop a few more times and it will be almost done." Yu Qingshu observed and found that this tree was relatively easy to chop. It didn't take long before half of it was chopped down.
Yu Qinghai: "Okay, Dad! You do the chopping, but you also have to be careful not to hurt your back!"
Yu Qinghai's words were originally words of concern, but they seemed to have a different meaning when he saw them in Yu Qingshu's eyes.
Yu Qingshu rolled his eyes at him, said "Ugh!" and spat a little saliva into his palm, then took the big knife and started chopping with "Hmph! Hmph!".
When Hua Qinglu and the others heard Yu Qinghai's words and saw Yu Qingshu's expression, they also laughed secretly.
Only Yu Qinghai was there, still confused, and couldn't stop muttering:
"What's going on? What did I say wrong again? Dad and Mom are both like this, weird..."
When Yu Qingqing saw her elder brother lowering his head in thought, she shook her head helplessly.
Yu Qingqing: "Brother, don't think about it, I don't have any other intentions!
You pick up all the branches of that tree, tie them into a bundle and put them on the carriage later. Maybe they will be useful later.
Anyway, the carriage is so big that there is no problem in putting a bundle of firewood in it.
And if we put the firewood on top, we can hide some things underneath it."
Yu Qingqing saw that many branches had been shaved off next to the big tree.
It's not a pity, but putting a bundle of firewood here can be used to block any danger, so that there won't be nothing in front.
After hearing this, Yu Qinghai's eyes also brightened, as if a nerve was touched.
I have already clearly arranged the purpose of this bundle of firewood in my mind.
He immediately went forward and picked up the branches of the trees, tied them up with hay, and soon made a large bundle.
Yu Qingshu had also almost finished chopping down the tree and got a piece of wood about fifty centimeters long.
He brought the chopped wood to Yu Qingqing and asked with a smile:
"Qing'er, this is good enough for you to make that thing, right?"
Yu Qingqing saw the wood in front of her and nodded with satisfaction. This wood was easier to cut, and it wouldn't be too difficult to modify it later.
Yu Qingqing: "Dad, no problem! This is enough, I will tell you my thoughts later.
I'll tell you and Big Brother, and one of you can help with it later."
