Chapter 161 Matsutake
"Yes, yes, Sanlang, don't hold it in. When you are tired from working, you have to shout slogans. Then you won't feel so tired. We know this from working all year round. Guoguo is very good."
After saying that, everyone started shouting "Hey hey hey".
Zhou Guo also shouted, and while shouting he did not forget to wink at Zhou Dacang, saying, "Just shout along, there are no older girls here, what are you afraid of?"
Zhou Dacang glared at her secretly, rubbed his ears, and a "hey yo" came out of his mouth.
Zhou Guo smiled and shouted louder and louder, with "hey yo hey yo" coming out of his mouth continuously.
Slowly, the originally slow Hey~Yo~Hey~Yo~ turned into Hey Yo Hey Yo. Her voice was loud and she shouted faster and faster, disrupting the chants of others. Everyone could not help but follow her rhythm and shout Hey Yo Hey Yo.
The forest was filled with quick and short "hey yo hey yo" sounds. As more people gathered and shouted slogans, they created a powerful force that scared away all the small and big animals around.
Li, who was not far away, heard the "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" sound and her hand holding the wild mushroom trembled. A small bud that had just emerged was crushed by her. Hearing the shouting that sounded like panting, she couldn't help laughing.
Even the old man, who had no idea how far he had run, heard it and muttered, "The shouting is so exhausting, I don't know which idiot started it."
Everyone was shouting "Hey Yo Hey Yo" and their hands' movements couldn't help but speed up. After a while, everyone was out of breath, but Zhou Guo was still shouting "Hey Yo Hey Yo".
"Oh, no, no, this way of shouting won't work, it's even more tiring."
Gradually, they all stopped shouting because they really couldn't shout anymore. All the strength in their hands was gone, and it was so difficult to shout.
Zhou Dacang gradually lost his energy, and the only voice left in the huge forest was Zhou Guo's.
When she got up, she found that everyone had stopped shouting. She was surprised and asked, "Why aren't you shouting? Isn't it said that shouting is more labor-saving?"
Zhou Dacang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How can you shout like that? You're shouting so fast. Are there vicious dogs chasing you? Your voice is so loud and fast. We've been led astray by you. Stop shouting and let others shout for a while."
Zhou Guo touched his nose and shut up. In fact, shouting faster could save energy, but they just didn't find the way.
After a while, the slow, steady and powerful "Hey Yo" sound rang out again in this forest.
Zhou Guo held one end of the saw and kept pulling it back and forth as the horn sounded. She didn't feel any effort at all and worked like this non-stop for more than half an hour. The big tree in front of her was almost sawed off, leaving only about two inches thick at the end.
She stood up, shook her hands, twisted her arms, stretched her legs, and said to Zhou Dacang, "Uncle, move aside. I'm going to use more force."
Zhou Dacang quickly put away the saw and ran up the tree, shouting, "The tree is falling down!"
The other people around quickly stood up and hid in the direction of Zhou Dacang. They had to stay away. It would be terrible if such a big tree fell down. Then they all looked at Zhou Guo.
Zhou Guo faced the direction of the mountain, stretched out his hands, and slowly placed his palms on the tree. He squatted on the ground with his feet in a horse stance, and slowly exerted force with his hands, increasing the force layer by layer. When he increased his strength to 50%, he heard a slight cracking sound coming from the bottom of the tree.
"It's going to fall!" someone shouted.
She pushed hard, then leaped back two meters away. She turned around and watched the slowly falling tree chopping down like a huge sword.
"Kuacaca, bang." The big tree, with its branches, cut a path in the dense forest. The sound of branches breaking off continued to be heard. With a loud bang, the ground shook and the big tree fell down completely.
Everyone cheered, after all, this was the first tree they had cut down.
After cutting down this tree, the two men took a break and started sawing the next one.
The trees of several other people were also sawed off one after another, and loud rumbling sounds continued to echo in the valley.
Not long after the second tree was cut, Li came back with half a bag of pine mushrooms and said to Zhou Dacang, "Sanlang, take a break. I'll do the sawing."
Zhou Dacang shook his head, "No need, Second Sister-in-law, let Guo rest."
Zhou Guo thought that her mother was also a very strong person and could do everything just as well as a man, so she gave her seat to her. She was also thinking about looking around, and didn't know where her master had gone.
"Mom, uncle, take your time. I'll go take a look around and be back soon." She walked away with the basket and the machete, heading in the opposite direction of her mother. The pine mushrooms nearby must have been picked up by her mother, so what else could she pick up?
After walking about an arrow's length forward, they disappeared from our sight.
She looked around and found that there was no other sound in the woods except their shouting. The place where she was standing was a windy vent, and when the wind blew a little, there was an "urulu urulu" sound, like an evil wind. However, it was really cool, like a cool breeze cave.
She stood in the wind for a while, waiting for the sweat on her face to dry, then turned around and walked up.
Pine mushrooms kept popping up among the pine needles, and she picked them up one by one.
Not long after picking up the needles far away, I found that the pine needles in front of me were pushed up again. I went forward to pull them apart and took a look, and was stunned.
There is a matsutake mushroom underneath!
"Tsk, I didn't expect there was such a thing here!" She was stunned for a moment, then happily pried up the mushroom carefully with a machete. A beige matsutake covered in mud was dug out. She looked at it over and over again, muttering, "It looks like a small pestle. It's beautiful."
She placed the matsutake mushrooms in the basket and cleared away the surrounding larch needles, and found two smaller ones. She dug out all of them and covered them with soil.
She started looking for Matsutake mushrooms everywhere with a basket. But who would be willing to pick them when they had this thing? Besides, she already had two sacks of dried Matsutake mushrooms at home, so she no longer cared about them.
Not far up, she found another corner of the matsutake mushroom emerging from under the roots of the tree. She pulled aside the leaves and saw that this one was really big, bigger than the three in her basket.
She went up all the way, with a machete on her back, a basket in her left hand, and a wooden stick in her right hand. She kept digging in the fallen leaves in the forest, and squatted down from time to time to dig out the matsutake mushrooms she had dug out.
It was a lot of fun picking matsutake mushrooms. There were so many matsutake mushrooms in this forest that I picked up half a basket worth of them.
I estimated that it was about time, so I turned around and walked back, searching as I walked. I dug out the matsutake mushrooms I had dug out and picked up some pine mushrooms I saw. Anyway, the basket was not full yet, so I put in as many as I could. Pine mushrooms are also very delicious. By the time I reached the tree felling base, the basket had already been filled with pine mushrooms that I had picked up later.
