The morning bell of water traffic
A flock of pigeons was released along with the legend of the little flies, and a song of logging began.
Alas, the mountain fell down, and a trumpet shook off the frost on the trees. The sound of a trumpet startled the birds. In the morning I walk with the stars, in the evening I return with the moon. He was not afraid of the high mountains or the long roads. The heart is wider than the sky, and the love is longer than the water. The lumberjack was like a mountain. A lumberjack was like a pine tree. Hey hey hey, lumberjack loves Xing 'an. The mountain cannot be separated from the pine, and the pine cannot be separated from the mountain.
Gong Gu and Di Huo were ancient construction craftsmen. On this day, they led the logging team into the primeval forest again. This was an ocean of trees, a veritable forest of trees!
The external beauty was like a painting. There were pine trees and white birches everywhere. As far as the eye could see, everything was green. The trees were undulating in unison, like the waves of the sea. The undulating " waves " showed regular colors. Green, green, dark green, and finally black-green. The colors changed regularly. In the forest, precious trees grew from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. No one was alone and proud. Between the trees, the clear river that could be seen at the bottom was originally azure blue, but it was actually reflected by the surrounding trees into a turquoise color. It really looked like a flawless piece of jade. From a distance, the river and the trees had already fused into one. Even the gaps between the trees were not lacking in color. Between the flowers, there were colorful flowers, and there were many coral-like red beans in the flowers. They attracted many dancing butterflies, and they landed on the tourists affectionately. There was nothing that could compare to the external beauty of the Great Xing 'an Mountains, because the Great Xing' an Mountains were too good at dressing themselves up. A green pine as a blouse, a white birch as a skirt, and even wearing embroidered shoes. Such a beautiful "girl", who dared to compare her beauty? Not only was this place beautiful on the outside, but it was also beautiful on the inside.
In spring, the lush plum trees were full of white flowers. Small white-winged birds sang happily on the trees. Fierce mountain eagles circled in the sky. The sound of woodpeckers kept coming from the forest. The small beasts in the forest sneaked out of the cave and played on the wide grass. The snow on the mountain melted by the wind, and the water flowed down from the big and small rivers to a very, very far place. In summer, the grass was covered with flowers of unknown names. Red, white, purple, pink, all kinds of colors. What a beautiful flower bed! From the valley came the intermittent roar of the whistle. The train was loaded with wood and was constantly transported to all parts of the motherland.
In autumn, all kinds of wild fruits in the forest were ripe." Dusi " was a kind of wild fruit that looked like wild grapes. It tasted sweet and sour and could also be used to make wine. The leaves of the "Thorny Plum" were very good tea when steeped in boiling water. Hazelnuts grew all over the mountainside, and its fruits were fragrant and crispy when fried. Here, fungus and mushrooms could be found everywhere, and precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng could also be picked. In winter, the biting cold wind blew fiercely, and the forest was snowing heavily. Thousands of trees were covered in dazzling silver clothes, and it was a scene of the north. This forest was a beautiful garden and an inexhaustible treasure trove.
The beautiful forest was integrated with the buildings. The palaces of the ancients and the houses of the commoners could not be separated from it. It provided many good materials for people and could not be separated from life. Once separated, people's lives would become boring. The person who took the wood, took the wood, took the treasure, and planted the trees at the same time, making the forest beautiful and not empty. It was getting closer and closer to the people in the ridge. At this time, the ancestors of humans had long understood the significance of the forest to the prosperity of the country. Gong Gu and Di Huo told two stories every day when they entered the forest:
The first story," The Lumberjack's Safety Alarm Bell Ringing ": One morning, a lumberjack went to the forest to cut wood as usual. When he cut down a thick pine tree with a chainsaw, the trunk was shot back and pressed heavily on his right leg. The sharp pain made his vision go black. At this moment, he knew that the first thing he had to do was to stay awake. He tried to pull his leg out, but could not. So, he took the axe beside him and chopped at the tree. After three or four times, the handle of the axe broke. He picked up the chainsaw and began to saw the tree. However, he soon discovered that the fallen pine tree was at a 45-degree angle. The huge pressure could jam the chainsaw at any time. If the chainsaw malfunctioned, there was no other way. He picked up the chainsaw and aimed it at his right leg. The amputated lumberjack simply bandaged his leg and decided to crawl back. Along the way, he endured the pain and crawled inch by inch. He fainted again and again, and woke up again and again. There was only one thought in his mind-he must go back alive! This story gave us a lot of inspiration. In fact, everyone only has one life. If you don't cherish it, there won't be a second time. We should be like the lumberjack in the story. Even if we encounter great difficulties, we cannot easily give up our lives. We must live bravely and cherish life. Just like a lumberjack, after encountering a huge blow, there was only one thought in his mind-he had to go back alive! Life was precious. Nothing could compare to it. It is equal to everyone. Everyone only has one chance. Once lost, there will be no second chance. Therefore, we must seize the opportunity to cherish and cherish it! Life is everywhere and everything. How precious was life! With life, there is competition and struggle; With life, there will be ideals and hope; With life, there will be happiness and sadness; With life, there will be love for life.
Di Huo told the second story," Look Up and Look at the Road ": A worker found a good job in a logging factory. He decided to do this job seriously and perform well. On the first day of work, the boss gave him an axe and asked him to cut trees in the plantation. The worker worked hard.
In one day, he kept waving his axe and cut down 19 trees. The boss was extremely satisfied and praised him for doing a good job. The worker was very excited and decided to work harder to thank the boss for his appreciation.
The next day, the worker worked hard. His legs were sore and painful after standing for a long time, and his arms were so tired that he couldn't lift them. However, this kind of hard work didn't bring better results. He felt that he was even more tired than the first day and used more strength, but he only cut down 16 trees the next day.
The worker thought that maybe I wasn't working hard enough. If my grades kept falling, the boss would think that I was slacking off, so I had to work harder. On the third day, the workers worked with double the enthusiasm until they were too tired to move. However, to his disappointment, he only cut down 12 trees.
The worker was a very honest person. He felt too ashamed. He had received a high salary from his boss, but his work was getting worse and worse. He took the initiative to apologize to his boss, explained his work situation, and reflected that he was really useless. The harder he worked, the less he worked.
The boss asked him,"How often do you sharpen your axe?"”The worker was stunned." I spend all my time cutting trees," he said." Where would I find time to sharpen my axe?”
Di Huo commented: The guys lowered their heads to pull the cart with brute force, and looked up at the road to look for clever strength. It was a good attitude to work hard. However, this does not mean that as long as we spend a lot of time, the matter will naturally be resolved. Practice tells us that it's not that we don't do things, nor that we only do things, but that we have to pay attention to the way and method of doing things.
The two of them commanded the logging team to transport the logs to the yard, and then divided the scattered logs into several piles according to the species, length, and thickness. Gui Leng relied entirely on manpower, usually four or six people in a group to carry a log. When they encountered a large log, they would temporarily combine it to be carried by eight people. The tools used were shoulder bars, doors, hooks, hooks, and corners. At that time, there were very few roads in the forest area, and most of the transportation methods were water transport and horse-drawn sledge ice road transportation. A red pine more than 20 meters tall fell in the forest. Although it was not thrilling, it was enough to make the first person tremble with fear. After it was sawed off from the root, it first fell slowly, faster and faster. Then, with a whoosh, it smashed everything that stopped it from falling. Finally, with a bang, it smashed into the snow in the forest. Snowflakes flew everywhere, broken branches flew everywhere, and the ground shook. How strong was the force? Let's put it this way first. The red pine trees, which were dozens of centimeters in diameter and brittle in winter, could sometimes break into several pieces when they fell down the mountain. The more dangerous ones were the "Half-move","Backseat Cannon","Turning Rod","Hanging Ghost", and the most dangerous ones were "Hanging" and "Sitting in the Hall". The so-called "half-cut" was when the roots of the tree were sawed to about half of its diameter during logging. The big tree suddenly split and fell, and half of it suddenly tilted up. It was blocked by other trunks during the process of the big tree falling down, and the whole tree was blocked and suddenly bounced back. This was also why as long as it was touched, it would be much worse than a cold. The "turning stick" was a small tree that was bent after a big tree fell (mostly a white birch tree, very tough) and suddenly bounced back. It was easy to hit someone when they were caught off guard, as if it was a joke, but you'd better stay away from it. Hanged Ghost was much more dangerous. The branches of the red pine trees in winter were very brittle. When a big tree fell, the branches would collide with the trees that did not fall. Some branches would hang on other trees and sway with the wind, like hanging ghosts, making it impossible to guard against. Once it fell on the head or body, it would either die or be injured. Sometimes, a tree that had been cut down would hang on another tree and not fall to the ground. This was called "hanging", and a tree that had been cut down was called "hanging". Removing the chain was the most dangerous job for a lumberjack, especially when it came to removing the chain. There were three reasons for sitting in the palace: Firstly, the trunk was straight and the crown was well-proportioned. Secondly, the trunk was relatively thick. Thirdly, there was no wind at this time. It was very troublesome to encounter a "sitting temple" because external forces could destroy the balance, making it possible for it to fall in any direction at any time, making it impossible to guard against. According to the rules passed down by the lumberjacks for many years, one could not run when they encountered a "sitting temple." The airflow caused by running would cause the tree to fall towards the person running. It was said that the big tree fell in the direction of the sound. At this time, he had to throw his hat, clothes, and so on. It was said that the air disturbance caused by it might cause the tree to tilt. It was obvious how dangerous this job was. The two of them kept reminding everyone,"Hey, brothers, pay attention." Safety first!" "Don't panic! Slow down! Life is not a leek head---it will grow after it is cut off!”After a long time, the lumberjack finally understood the two's good intentions. These two were the famous officials and capable people under the Yellow Emperor. Each of them had inventions. One of them was called Gong Gu and the other was called Di Huo. They taught people to build houses and make production tools, and were appreciated by the Yellow Emperor.
One year, a disaster descended from the sky. A storm and a flash flood suddenly broke out. At that time, Gong Gu and Di Huo were logging in the forest on the mountain.
On this day, the sky was dark, like an inverted black pot. People suspected that the Jade Emperor had knocked over the ink bottle. Suddenly, thunder rumbled. Immediately after, a bolt of lightning cut through the sky like a sharp sword. After a while, raindrops the size of soybeans fell from the sky and hit the ground. In an instant, the raindrops formed a line. With a whoosh, the heavy rain poured down from the sky as if the sky had collapsed. The storm was like countless whips, lashing at the glass windows. The wind picked up the rain stars and snow bombs, as if they were looking for something on the ground, bumping into each other from east to west. As soon as the pedestrians found a shelter, the rain began to fall. The rain continued to fall without end, as if the sky needed a female snail to fill it up. There were no signs of stopping. The entire world was gloomy, making people lose themselves in the dislocations of the seasons. The heavens seemed to be testing the limits of human patience. The rainstorm became heavier and heavier. At first, it was like a downpour. Later, it seemed to be pouring down. At night, the sound of the rainstorm was so loud that it made people feel a little frightened and uneasy. At night, the wind was fierce, and dark clouds covered the sky. Thunder sounded one after another, and lightning flashed in the sky. The wind blew hard, and the branches were blown by the wind until they made cracking sounds. In an instant, there were bursts of thunder, deafening. In an instant, the rain became heavier. The sound of the rain was accompanied by another torrential downpour. It was as if the sky had collapsed, and the water in the Milky Way was flowing backward. The North Sea roared and churned. The heavy rain lashed the ground, splashing water everywhere. The storm happened at the same time, causing floods and mudflows. In an instant, the earth surged, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. Turbid waves surged into the sky, and it was extremely tragic. The storm was even more violent, the wind was even stronger, and the flood peak was even more ferocious. It rushed toward the connection between the cofferdams and the high concrete wall. The connection that had just been filled was leaking, and two bowl-sized holes were spraying yellow water like mud. The heavy rain and strong winds combined to cause flooding. The mountain torrents were like a herd of frightened wild horses, rushing over from the valley, unstoppable. The trees in the middle of the road were blown to the side, and the heavy rain soon turned the road in front of the door into a swamp. The raging flood was like a beast that pounced on the people who were sleeping in the middle of the night. When people shouted at each other and rushed out of the door, the water was already above their waists. The panicked people shouted at each other in the dark and helped each other to escape to the hillside behind the street. Many people were left homeless by the flood. Gong Gu and Di Huo were logging on the mountain. The flood was like a ferocious beast, crashing down and washing away the houses, production tools, and food of the people on the hillside. Even Gong Gu, Di Huo, and the members of the logging team who were logging on the mountain were swept away by the flood. The subjects burst into tears. The Yellow Emperor was also very sorrowful and ordered everyone to split up to search.
Gong Gu, Di Huo, and the logging team were washed down the mountain by the flood and into a big river. In their daze, they saw the flood roaring and roaring, the turbid waves emptying, and the two waves floating up and down, close at hand, but far away. "Hey, brothers, is anyone there? Di Huo, where are you? Hey!" The drums are beating. Di Huo struggled in the turbid waves for a while before he replied,""I'm-I'm right behind you-""Are the brothers there?”"It's broken up-I don't know," "Hey-brothers! Brothers! The two of them were shouting at the top of their lungs, but only the roar of the turbid waves swallowed their weak shouts. "Hurry up and grab the floater-""Hurry up, a big tree is coming, grab it!" Hold on tightly, don't let go." "Hurry up!" The two of them finally managed to grab onto a big tree floating on the surface of the water after some hard work. They never let go. When he caught his breath, he found that no matter how high the flood rose, the tree was still floating on the water and could not sink. At this time, the two of them did not have the time to figure out what was going on. They only knew to hold on tightly to the tree and let the flood push them forward. Suddenly, a wave came and knocked the big tree and everyone into the water. Gong Gu and Di Huo struggled out of the water and climbed up the tree. It turned out that half of the tree's face was empty. No matter how the wind blew and the waves beat, the tree still floated on the surface of the water and did not sink into the water. Gong Gu and Di Huo sat at the two ends of the hollow tree, stabilizing the tree. They floated and floated for days and nights, and no one knew where they had drifted to. As there was nothing to eat, they were so hungry that they fainted. When they woke up, the flood had already receded, and the tree they were riding on had been sandwiched between a huge rock by the river. The two of them were hungry and tired, and they did not even have the strength to speak. Fortunately, a hunting team from a tribe passed by and rescued them. When they heard that they were people close to the Yellow Emperor, they were especially enthusiastic and took care of them. They gave them the meat they brought with them, so that they quickly recovered. Gonggu and Di Huo asked the local people,"What is this place? How far is it from Qiao Nation?" The local people told them,"This is the east bank of the Yellow River, far away from the Bridge Country. It would take half a year to travel by land, and it would take half a year to travel by water until the winter froze.”Hearing their words, Gong Gu and Di Huo's hearts turned cold. The two of them looked at the surging Yellow River in front of them. Neither of them knew what to do. After a long silence, Gong Gu suddenly said to Di Huo,""Since the two of us can float here with the big tree, can't we float to the west bank of the Yellow River with this tree? Di Huo felt that what he said made sense. Therefore, the two of them started to pull the big tree out of the stone crevice. They twisted a long rope with the bark and tied one end of the big tree first. Then, they pulled the big tree out. They twisted a long rope with the bark and tied one end of the big tree first. Then, they pushed the big tree into the river. Gong Gu held the other end of the rope and walked forward. The big tree also moved along the river. Gong Gu let Di Huo sit on it and walked for a while with the rope. It also proved that the big tree would not sink in the water. Only then did the two borrow knives, axes, and other tools to repair the two ends of the tree. They also asked for some food from the local people to bring with them. When everything was ready, they bid farewell to the local people and risked their lives to climb the hollow tree. After spending a lot of effort and going through many hardships, they finally crossed the Yellow River and reached the west bank, returning to the Bridge Kingdom.
When the Yellow Emperor and the people of the Qiao Kingdom heard that Gong Gu and Di Huo had returned safely, they all rushed over to ask about them. Gong Gu and Di Huo told everyone about their experiences, and everyone admired and admired them. The Yellow Emperor specially held a celebration banquet for Gong Gu and Di Huo. At the banquet, Gong Gu said to the Yellow Emperor,""Although the two of us suffered this disaster, we found a means of transportation on the water during the disaster!”Then, they reported the idea of 'chiseling wood into a boat' to the Yellow Emperor in detail. The Yellow Emperor felt that it was very reasonable and said "good" three times in a row. He then said to the ministers,"It seems that many things in the world are created from danger. There were also some things that he discovered unintentionally. As ministers, we should pay attention to everything we do in the future and use our brains more.”The ministers all agreed with the Yellow Emperor. From then on, the idea of " chiseling wood into a boat " was finally realized. It opened up water transportation, and all kinds of modern ships might have developed from the principle of Gong Gu and Di Huo riding on the hollow tree. Little Fly commented: Chiseling wood for the boat sounded the morning bell of water traffic.
