In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

He bent down and picked up a sharp stone, and as he walked back he carved a conspicuous mark on the tree.

That serious look was as if he was guarding a precious treasure, fearing that he would lose his way back in the future.

When he returned to his companions, he saw that each of them was holding a big wooden stick. They looked like a group of soldiers who had lost their way, with a look of helplessness on their faces.

Liu Erzhu stared straight at the direction of the forest with his neck almost stretched out. When he saw Wang Jianguo coming back, he ran over excitedly to check, as if he had seen a long-lost relative.

His eyes were full of worry, and he asked nervously:

"Brother Jianguo, you are finally back. I hope nothing happened to you. We were so worried."

Cheng Erhua also said:

"Yes, Brother Jianguo, if you don't come back, we will have to break into this forest to look for you."

After listening to what the two people said, Wang Jianguo felt as if a stream of hot spring water was flowing through his heart, making him feel warm and moved.

He never expected that these two young men would be so righteous.

They have only been together for a few days, but these two people are so disregarding danger and want to save me.

He joked in a lighthearted way:

"Just these big sticks? They can't save me."

A few people looked from afar and saw that Wang Jianguo looked like he had just come back from a stroll at the market. He was talking and laughing, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

It looked like they hadn't encountered any trouble. Everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed, and they felt like a heavy burden had been lifted from their hearts.

Wang Jianguo waved his hand towards them and said with full energy:

"I just went in and took a look around. Hey, there's nothing dangerous inside. I saw a forest. The trees there looked exactly like the trees Uncle Cheng marked yesterday."

"But I can't guarantee that they are the same kind. I have marked them along the way, so let's go and have a look together."

After hearing this, several people nodded their heads in confusion.

Since Wang Jianguo has explored the route and said there is no danger, they have nothing to worry about.

So, several people followed Wang Jianguo and headed towards the deep mountains. The road was winding and it took about ten minutes to reach the forest that Wang Jianguo mentioned.

As soon as a few people stepped into the forest, their eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet.

He stared at the towering trees with his jaw almost dropping to the ground, and his mouth opened so wide that a big goose egg could fit in.

Cheng Si's eyes were as big as copper bells, his face flushed red, and his voice was trembling with excitement:

"Oh my God, look at these trees, they are so tall that they reach up to the sky, and their trunks are as thick as buckets."

"I've been a carpenter all my life, and I've never seen such good wood before."

After hearing what Cheng Si said, Wang Jianguo felt a little itchy, so he approached Cheng Si and asked:

"Uncle Cheng, do you think this wood can be used to make a cabinet?"

Cheng Si was stunned at first, then he grinned awkwardly, waved his hand and said:

"Jianguo, this wood can certainly be used to make a cabinet, but using such good wood to make a cabinet is like playing with night pearls as marbles. It's such a waste."

Wang Jianguo frowned, his eyes showing a stubborn look, and said:

"Uncle Cheng, I know this is a waste of resources, but we are forced to do this now."

"Da Li Village and Xiao Li Village have seized all our timber. We can't just give in like that, can we?"

Cheng Si scratched his head, thought for a while, and felt that this was indeed the case. If he really compromised, the supply and marketing cooperative would be ruined.

Thinking of this, several people stopped dawdling and started working in unison.

Some people held the saw tightly, some held the axe high, and started working on the tree.

This work lasted for a long time. Several people were so tired that they were panting and sweat was dripping down like beads from a broken string.

After a long time, I heard Cheng Si shout:

"Hurry up and get away from the north. This tree is going to fall to the north."

When a few people heard this, they ran south like a group of frightened rabbits, and all ran to where Cheng Si was.

All I heard was the big tree making a creaking sound, as if it was saying its final farewell to the forest.

The big tree fell to the ground with a deafening "boom". In an instant, dust flew up, as if a small sandstorm was sweeping in.

Several people couldn't wait and ran towards the big tree at full speed, their eyes full of eagerness and curiosity.

When they got closer, everyone started working quickly and methodically.

This division of labor is like a carefully choreographed drama, and everyone knows their role.

Someone pulled out a tape measure from his waist and measured carefully along the tree trunk like a professional surveyor, his eyes fixed on the scale.

Some were muttering to themselves, looking as serious as if they were treating a rare treasure; others grabbed the saw, with the muscles in their arms tense.

With a rhythmic "hissing" sound, the saw shuttled back and forth on the tree trunk, and the sharp teeth were like hungry little beasts, devouring the wood frantically.

The wood chips flew everywhere like happy little snowflakes, falling on everyone's bodies and the ground.

On this side, Liu Erzhu rushed towards the entrance like a whirlwind.

At the entrance, the ox cart was quietly staying there. The cow next to it was chewing grass leisurely, swinging its tail like a small broom, driving away the small flying insects around it.

Liu Erzhu held the reins skillfully, patted the ox's back gently, shouted, and drove the ox cart slowly towards the crowd.

The wooden wheels of the ox cart left two shallow ruts on the ground, making a creaking sound, as if telling of its mission.

After a lot of hard work, the few people finally collected most of the wood and started loading it onto the ox cart.

But once I installed it, the problems popped up like little monsters that couldn't be hidden anymore.

The wood was like a small mountain, thick and long. In comparison, the ox cart looked as small as a toy.

Everyone was so tired that their faces were red and sweat rolled down their foreheads like raindrops, but after a lot of effort, one ox cart couldn't even fit half of a big tree.

Wang Jianguo looked at the scene in front of him with his brows tightly locked together, like two caterpillars fighting.

After a moment, he said to Liu Erzhu and Cheng Erhua:

"Erzhu, Erhua, you two should transport this truckload of wood back first. Once you get to the supply and marketing cooperative, you need to find something thick to cover the wood tightly."

"We must not let others have any chance to take advantage of it. Then we must lock the door of the supply and marketing cooperative like an iron barrel, making it airtight."
