【Name】: Gu Sheng

【Age】:14

[Realm]: None

[Martial Arts]: Splitting firewood (20% success)

Seeing that the progress of chopping firewood suddenly increased to 20%, Gu Sheng couldn't help but be stunned.

He began to think back to the magical strike last night. At that time, he felt that the wild wolf was like a piece of firewood in his eyes. It was not just firewood, but also had layers of texture appearing in his eyes.

Following the grain, it was easy to chop.

He vaguely understood which direction Pichai should work towards if he wanted to break through to the realm of perfection.

Mechanical liver experience has never been the real purpose of the panel. Only by combining diligence and thinking can the greatest effect be exerted.

"In this way, maybe it won't take twenty days to chop wood and be promoted to the realm of perfection!"

Gu Sheng was excited.

Last night, he finally knew how powerful Dacheng Choi Chai was. With his current thin body, he could kill wild wolves.

If the body becomes stronger in the future, the power will only be stronger.

"I wonder if I can compete with a warrior if I have reached the perfect state of chopping firewood?"

Gu Sheng couldn't help but think of Gu Jingang's fierce power last night, killing the wild wolf with one punch, and the wolf's head was as brittle as a watermelon.

Shaking his head and putting aside the unrealistic thoughts, Gu Sheng began to pack his things.

The wound on the back is not deep, but it still stings a bit after applying ointment. I have to continue chopping firewood today. Even if I lose my hands and legs, I still have to continue working.

If you don’t work, you won’t have food to eat.

He found a large wooden board to block the hole in the doorway, and Gu Sheng rushed towards the master's house.

As we walked forward with our heads lowered, we could faintly hear sobs coming from the wooden houses on the roadside.

Dozens of wild wolves attack at night, which is a disaster for ordinary villagers.

"That's...Uncle Gen's house?"

Gu Sheng was stunned and saw someone collecting the body in a wooden house on the right.

Three bodies, a couple and a boy.

Gu Sheng's expression was complicated and he stood there blankly.

Uncle Gen suffered a leg injury in his early years and could not do heavy work. He could only do some small crafts, and Sister Gen did some chores to make ends meet.

There was a wild wolf attack last night.

Even a wild wolf is not something such a family can deal with.

"well……"

Gu Sheng buried his head and walked forward, feeling a little depressed.

If he had it to do over again, he would still choose to stay at Gu Erniu's house and wait for rescue. The lives of others are not more important than his own.

It's just that when I saw Uncle Gen's family being wiped out, I felt a bit sad.

"When the body becomes stronger, we will see if there is any way to practice martial arts in advance."

Gu Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief and stepped into the north courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Gu He was waiting there. Seeing Gu Sheng, Gu He breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard from the village that there was a wolf attack in your direction last night. Just hope you are okay."

Gu Sheng said gratefully:

"Thank you for your concern, steward. Fortunately, I'm lucky. I only suffered a minor injury and it won't affect my work today."

Gu He waved his hand and said:

"Let the work go ahead. You were injured today. You can recuperate at home."

Gu Sheng shook his head and refused:

"It's okay, I can handle it."

There was no way, the daily expenses were there. If he didn't work, Gu Sheng wouldn't be able to save money. The injury on his back did not affect his strength. Although it hurt a little, Gu Sheng could bear it.

Seemingly seeing Gu Sheng's determination, Gu He did not persuade him again, but sighed in his heart.

"Steward, how many people died last night?"

Gu Sheng suddenly asked.

Gu He was silent for a moment, then took a long breath and sighed:

"Thirteen families, forty-three people, some with broken arms and legs and some bitten people. Fortunately, Teacher Gu and the others got there in time, otherwise more people would have died."

After receiving the news early in the morning, he felt a little sad. Although he had a good status in the village, looking at the Liang Dynasty, or even just in Canghe County, there was no difference between him and the dead villagers.

Gu Sheng was shocked and silent.

Not to mention those who died, those with broken arms and legs will have equally difficult days ahead.

Gu Sheng said in a dry voice:

"Wild wolves are generally smart and will not easily approach places where people gather. How could it happen last night..."

Gu He stared at Gu Sheng for a moment, shook his head and turned around, only to hear a voice:

"Has Gu Erniu come back?"

Gu Sheng's spirit was shaken, and he was suddenly stunned, with ripples in his heart.

"Sure enough...is it related to the purpose of the warriors in the village entering the mountain?"

He had guessed before that the wild wolf last night was too unusual, as if it had been disturbed by some kind of interference, but there was too little information to confirm. When Gu He reminded him, he immediately understood.

"What is the purpose of Zhuang Nai summoning hunters into the mountains?"

Gu Sheng couldn't figure it out, but the only good news was that judging from Gu He's tone, Gu Erniu shouldn't be in much danger.

He put aside his distracting thoughts, walked into the woodshed and started working.

Although the wound has some impact, it is not major.

Gu Sheng worked diligently to chop firewood.

Every piece of firewood is a hope for the future.

Time passes.

The sun sets over the western mountains.

Gu Sheng wiped his sweat and finished today's work of chopping firewood. The cloth strip wrapped around his back was a little red. He only chopped 800 pieces of firewood today.

Gu He nodded approvingly, very satisfied with the young man's perseverance.

Gu Sheng took eight copper coins home.

In the following days, Zhuang Nai gradually returned to calm.

Because the trauma caused by wild wolf attacks will heal, or become numb, over time, and the living must continue.

Gu Sheng's life finally got better.

The injury on his back had completely healed and no longer affected his chopping wood. Now Gu Sheng could chop a thousand pieces of wood a day, and save two cents in addition to eating.

However, this was basically the upper limit. Even if the main family had a large population, they would not need too much wood consumption, not to mention other odd jobs of chopping wood.

Ten cents a day was already quite good for ordinary people.

When Gu Sheng saved money for a few years, he could marry a wife to carry on the family line. This was the life of an ordinary villager.

But Gu Sheng certainly didn't want to live his life in such a muddle.

The dozens of kilograms of wolf meat provided by the two wild wolves made Gu Sheng's mouth full. With the intake of meat and the exercise of chopping a thousand pieces of wood every day, Gu Sheng's body became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Because the two wolf skins were not complete and gray, they only exchanged for two hundred copper coins, but it was also a windfall.

Now Gu Sheng's wealth has exceeded seven hundred coins.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

But Gu Sheng was not satisfied, thinking that the speed of accumulating wealth was still too slow. If he really wanted to practice martial arts, the tuition alone would definitely not be enough, and the cost of practicing martial arts also needed to be taken into account.

But there was no good solution at the moment, and Gu Sheng planned to wait until he finished chopping wood before thinking about it.

...

Gu Erniu's house.

Gu Wan was squatting in the corner chatting with the ants, holding a brand new wild grasshopper in his hand. After knowing that Gu Wan liked it, Gu Sheng would make one to tease him from time to time.

Li Lian was washing clothes, but her face was full of worry.

It had been half a month since Gu Erniu went into the mountains, but he had not returned yet, far exceeding the three or five days he had said at the beginning.

Sometimes Li Lian even wondered if all the people in the village who went into the mountains had been wiped out.

Thinking about it, I felt a little pain in my heart, and tears could not help but slide down.

I was afraid that Gu Wan would see it, so I wiped it away without leaving a trace.

"Wife!"

"Wife, I'm back!"

In the distance, an urgent shout came, and Li Lian's scrubbing action froze, looking into the distance in disbelief.

Then she saw a tall and strong figure running towards her, it was Gu Erniu, whom she had been thinking about day and night.

"Erniu!"

The tears that Li Lian had just held back burst out, and she staggered towards Gu Erniu. She felt like she was dreaming, but when her body was hugged by the strong arms, she knew that all this was real.

Gu Erniu, he's really back!

"Wow, you dead Erniu, you haven't come back for so long, I'm so worried about you, you might as well die in the mountains..."

Li Lian's tears wet Gu Erniu's chest, and she slapped Gu Erniu fiercely. The uneasiness, fear, and anxiety of the past few days were completely vented at this moment, and she burst into tears.

Gu Wan, who was playing with ants, didn't understand, but he also cried out, rushed over and hugged his father's thighs tightly.

Gu Erniu hugged his wife and son, his eyes full of guilt.

He had just returned to the village, and when he learned that the village was attacked by wild wolves a few days ago, he was about to go crazy and ran home desperately.

Seeing that Li Lian and Gu Wan were safe, a huge stone in his heart fell.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Gu Erniu comforted his wife, his eyes were also red.

After a while, the two of them calmed down and the family of three smiled.

The two hugged each other and talked about what happened in recent days. When they heard that wild wolves had entered the house, Gu Erniu was scared and broke into a cold sweat.

Li Lian said to Gu Erniu seriously:

"Erniu, if it weren't for A Sheng, you might not be able to see us mother and son. A Sheng risked his life to come to rescue us, we must thank him well!"
