C90 (1/2)
Jiang Kevin returned home and sat on a chair as he racked his brains to think of a name. However, he did not manage to think of one even when her head was aching.
The cell phone in his hand vibrated. Jiang Kevin picked it up and took a look: it was a text message from Yan Chenghan to tell him that his injuries were better and that he was returning to the army today.
Why didn't Yan Chenghan give her a call or video call?
This year, she put it aside after going through a round of thoughts in Jiang Kevin's mind and continued lost in her thoughts.
When she was jolted awake again, Jiang Kevin realized that she had inadvertently sent over the problem that was bothering her to Yan Chenghan.
Yan Chenghan quickly replied with a voice message to her. This voice message only had two words, ”Mu Xi”.
Mu Xi, Mu Xi Shan …
Was it because there were trees on the mountain, and also because there was an extremely shallow stream that flowed between the mountain and the Lin Clan village, that it was called Wood Creek Mountain?
After chewing a few times in his mouth, Jiang Chen felt that it was not bad. At least it was better than not being able to come up with a solution no matter how hard she tried.
However, Jiang Chen did not know the true reason for Yan Chenghan's name.
— — The mountain has a west China wood and a west China branch. Happy Jun and Xi Jun don't know ”Yue's Song”
The mountains are accompanied by trees, the trees by their branches; my heart likes you, but you do not know it.
This was Yan Chenghan's secretly rubbing confession, and he secretly rubbed his hands, hoping that Jiang Kevin could hear it. Unexpectedly, he was just winking at the blind man.
Jiang Chen immediately called Lin Jianmu and told him that Shan had been named, ”I'll be called Mu Xi Shan.”
Hearing this name, Lin Jianmu's heart dropped when he heard the first word.
Although the name ”Wood Creek Mountain” wasn't particularly eye-catching, it was at least a name, at least much better than some small hill, big mountain, or mushroom mountain.
Jiang Chen never expected Lin Jianmu to be so fond of this name. He immediately decided to leave the matter of giving a name to Yan Chenghan. However, she did not know that the reason why Lin Jianmu was so happy was because he had been abused by the various weird names she had mentioned earlier.
Lin Jianmu said, ”I'll customize the signboard tomorrow ….”
Jiang Kevin stopped him. ”There's no need. We'll do it ourselves.”
Lin Jianmu said, ”Ah? Do it yourself? I think it's better to let the professionals do it... ”
If the sign made by the owner was ugly, was it to be hung or not? Not hanging up hurt the boss's self-esteem; dying, hurt the entire Mu Xi Shan's self-esteem.
Jiang Kevin rotated his wrist. ”No, let me try.” ”If it's really bad, it's not too late to find someone else to do it for you.”
She didn't lack the money needed to make the plaque, she was just interested in it. If he really did it in a super ugly way, it would be too late to find someone else, just as Jiang Chen had said. She was not a person who would live to see the light of day.
Early the next morning, Jiang Chen went into the mountains again after eating dinner.
She was going to look for wood suitable for carving plaque.
Wood is divided into hardwood and cork.
Hard wood stability is suitable for carving technology, the furniture produced is expensive.
Furniture made of cork is more affordable.
Common hardwood is rosewood, yellow pear, chicken wing wood and jujube, and so on.
There were even more cork, such as black walnut, cherry, walnut, elm, beech, nanmu, pine, cedar, and camphor.
However, in the north, there were almost no hard wood growing. Generally, hardwoods grow in subtropics or even tropics.
Nowadays, if you want to get good hardwood, you have to import it from foreign countries.
Jiang Chen had never thought of making expensive hard wood to harm her. She had come up the mountain in search of good quality cork to use.
In fact, if Kevin Jiang lowered her standards, the pine trees on Mushu Mountain would make her open her mouth to use. She wanted to see if she could find a walnut tree or cherry tree that was over thirty years old.
This time, Jiang Kevin avoided the places he had visited before — she had an impression of all the places she had been before — and headed deeper into the Fallen Leaves Mountain.
The deeper they went, the denser the trees grew and the more rugged the mountains became.
Even if it was an old hunter, he would still sigh and return when he reached this place.
However, Jiang Kevin did not have such scruples. She did not even walk on the ground but nimbly jumped from tree to tree like an ape.
At eight o'clock in the old forest in the mountains, everything was full of life.
Birds were playing among the leaves. The squirrel blinked its big eyes and used its front paws to hold the pine cone. It kept looking down and its mouth kept moving. A long snake the same color as the trunk slowly climbed up, its cold eyes staring at the nest on the branch.
There was a group of monkeys hanging from two trees that were similar in size. The little monkey firmly held onto his mother, looking around cleverly. The big monkeys gathered in groups of two or three to catch lice from each other.
