1983: From Land Sharing to Household Ownership

Nanmu Ridge, located in the northeast of Huayu Village, is the largest soil ridge in Huayu Village.

On the top of it, there is a very conspicuous sign, which can be seen from a very far place.

That is, on the top of its mountain, there is a huge banyan tree.

This banyan tree can grow so tall at the top, of course, it will not be for no reason, it has to meet various conditions.

The most important thing is that there is a small natural lake at the top of Nanmu Ridge.

The small lake is only about an acre in size, but there is a large spring in it, which is not dry all the year round.

Basically, where a big banyan tree can grow, there are abundant water sources nearby, which is the fundamental reason for its entanglement there.

Where the banyan tree is, no grass grows.

This proverb explains the problem.

This is because the root system of the banyan tree is extremely developed, but it is the most developed of all trees.

Its root system grows extremely fast, and it will spread to all directions, wantonly plundering water and nutrients, and other flowers, plants and trees can't compete with it at all.

It is not only a well-developed root system, but also well-developed branches and leaves, and the growth rate is no worse than that of the root system.

Where it is, even the sunlight is basically plundered by it, so that all nearby plants cannot grow normally.

This will have the saying: where the banyan tree is, no grass will grow.

Therefore, in many parts of the country, you can see a large banyan tree alone, or a very huge one.

The big banyan tree at the top of Nanmu Ridge is also a solitary one. The canopy covers an area of ​​more than one mu, which is extremely huge.

This big banyan tree has also become the symbol of Huayu Village.

Indeed, Huayu Village only has a history of more than 100 years. I heard that it was still a remnant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who was defeated. They chose to settle here and developed.

What makes people unimaginable is that this settlement, which originally had only a few dozen people, has developed into a large village with more than 2,000 people in a short history of more than 100 years.

Children make up about half of the current population of Huayu Village!

Almost every household has five or more children!

This made many villagers enshrine the big banyan tree.

Thriving, it seems that is really the case.

If someone wanted to cut down the big banyan tree at the top of Nanmu Ridge, the whole village would have to fight with him!

More than ten years ago, there were people who were clamoring to cut down the big banyan tree, but that night, his home was surrounded by the villagers of the entire Huayu Village!

More than a dozen old people dragged the guy out, hanged from the tree and beat him fiercely all night!

Then he was rescued by the relevant personnel who heard the news, but he was completely disabled.

However, this matter really caused public anger, and in the end it was naturally over.

Since then, even in the turbulent times, no one dared to clamor to cut down that big banyan tree.

There are a lot of soil hills in Huayu Village, there are dozens of them, but they are not high.

The tallest Nanmu Ridge is less than 200 meters high.

However, its area is not small, with a radius of four or five miles, which is comparable to that of Wang Qiang's family's Dacha Mountain.

Therefore, it took about an hour for Wang Qiang and his group of five people and one dog to reach the top of Nanmu Ridge.

The reason why they came to the top of Nanmu Ridge was because my sister and the others had to come and see this very tall banyan tree.

Moreover, the place where Nanmu grows, on the back of Nanmu Ridge, is also considered a drop-in.

Fortunately, most of the ridges are relatively flat, and the tricycle can easily be pushed up, so that it will not be placed below.

In that case, Dabai needs to be left to guard.

"Wow! It's really big!"

"What a big tree!"

"This is the tallest tree I've ever seen."

"I've never seen a tree grow so tall."...

The first time a few little girls came to the top of Nanmu Ridge, they looked at the super tree in front of them, and then started to shout.

Indeed, this big banyan tree is also one of the tallest trees Wang Qiang has ever seen.

Like such a tall banyan tree, there is also a tree in Yincheng, which is more than 40 kilometers away. The tall one is a little scary.

However, because Yincheng is a major tourist county, the section of the river where the big banyan tree is located has become one of the famous tourist attractions in Yincheng.

"The water quality of this natural lake is very clear, almost as good as the water quality of the natural lake on our big tea mountain."

"However, this natural lake is a little smaller, less than one-tenth the size of Dacha Mountain."

Wang Qiang's focus was on the small lake in front of him.

Water is the source of life, this sentence is not just talking.

It is because of this small natural lake that there is this big banyan tree and a large nanmu forest nearby.

Wang Qiang had already seen the nearby Nanmu Forest.

"Fortunately, it's just that there are no larger nanmu and small nanmu saplings. There are at least a few hundred trees in total."

"Today, we have to excavate these small nanmu saplings, transport them back to the big tea mountain, and plant them."

The five of them all have a super large shovel in their hands, so don't take it too easy when digging out such small saplings.

It is estimated that in less than two hours, the scattered nanmu saplings can be excavated.

In addition to the loading time, a total of three hours is enough.

The soil of this Nanmu Ridge is very strange, like a mixture of loess, black soil and sand.

Presumably, this special soil is the biggest reason why Nanmu grows here.

It is estimated that there were only one or two nanmu trees here at first, and after a long period of time, they slowly grew up.

Just because the human demand for this kind of top wood is unlimited.

Therefore, even after thousands of years of breeding, the nanmu here still cannot truly become a forest, let alone a towering tree.

But if any of the golden nanmu becomes a material, it will be cut down at the first time.

For the wood itself, it's pathetic.

But for human beings, it is the most normal thing to ask endlessly from nature.

It is not surprising that human beings are the most greedy and inferior spiritual animals.

Accompanying my sister and the others, they played under the big banyan tree for about half an hour, and everyone finally started to get down to business.

Wang Qiang and a few girls, each holding a large shovel that had been strengthened and upgraded twice, walked quickly to the area where only Nanmu saplings were left, and began to dig wildly.

Because this is a sapling, everyone's digging speed is extremely fast. Everyone digs out one tree in three or two clicks, and then the next one.

The excavated saplings were stacked in two rows, and they were loaded into the car in the evening.

When working, time is the easiest to slip away.

By dusk, more than 300 nanmu saplings had been excavated by everyone.

Next, it's loading.

Wang Qiang pushed the tricycle and stopped in the middle of the two long rows of nanmu saplings. He cooperated with his sister and the others and began to load the saplings on the back compartment and the large trailer.

When the sky darkened, the tricycle and the large trailer behind it, already loaded with nanmu saplings, rose high beyond the carriage, several meters high!

It seems that it is at least ten times larger than the volume of the rear compartment and the large trailer!

Fortunately, these nanmu saplings can be arbitrarily exceeded the limited range of the trunk and large trailer, so they reluctantly loaded all the saplings excavated here.

Wang Qiang used the hemp rope he brought to tie the saplings together with the tricycle firmly, and also left a pull rope in the front and back.

This is necessary.

Although the slope of this big earth ridge is not large, if you want to push the tricycle back to the foot of the ridge smoothly, you have to hold it firmly, drag and pull.

Otherwise, the chances of overturning are extremely high.

It took everyone an hour and a half to get the severely overloaded tricycle back to the main road.

It was mainly because Wang Qiang and Da Bai were too strong that they did not cause a safety accident.

Fortunately, everything went well.

"Go! Let's go home!"

Watching his sister and the others climb to the top of the tall trees, grab hold of them, and sit down, Wang Qiang said with a wave of his hand.

He asked Da Bai to follow him, pedaling hard under his feet, and the tricycle started to move forward, heading towards the Xihe Bridge unhurriedly.

It is now more than nine o'clock in the evening, and there are basically no pedestrians on the road, and it will not be noticeable.

What's more, transporting a few saplings is not a shameful thing, and it is not a big problem.
