The sun hasn't set yet.

Gu Sheng had already finished chopping a thousand pieces of firewood today. When he opened the panel, he found that his proficiency in chopping wood in the martial arts column had reached 54%.

"In just over ten days, I will be able to push Chai Chai Gan to the state of perfection. I don't know how powerful he will be after he is promoted to the state of perfection!"

Gu Sheng was excited.

Now chopping firewood is his only way to save his life, so he naturally takes it very seriously.

"It's a pity that the share allocated to me is at most a thousand pieces of firewood. This is because Manager Gu He has a good relationship with me, otherwise I wouldn't even get a share."

The work of chopping firewood may seem tiring, but it is very safe and the harvest is guaranteed during droughts and floods. Many people will come in through connections.

Gu Sheng shook his head and packed his things.

As long as he finishes his work, he can leave early, and now he has more and more free time.

When Pichai breaks through to the realm of perfection, he may be able to finish all the work in half a day. Gu Sheng is thinking about finding a good way to make money in the remaining time. Otherwise, it will be too slow to accumulate wealth just by chopping wood.

Now that the basic problem of food and clothing has been solved, Gu Sheng has also begun to think about the future.

Slowly walking out of the small courtyard, the boy passing by smiled kindly at Gu Sheng. Gu He looked at Gu Sheng in a different light. Many boys were secretly rumoring that Gu He and Gu Sheng were related in some way.

The boy who was a little contemptuous of Gu Sheng when he first came to chop firewood even came over to give Gu Sheng water to express his apology.

Gu Sheng nodded and smiled and found Gu He.

Gu He smiled and handed over ten copper coins.

"There is good news. The warriors who entered the mountain in the village have returned to the village."

Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then asked nervously:

"Are there any casualties?"

"Only a few people were injured, but no one died. Gu Erniu was lucky not only to not be injured, but to make a great contribution."

Gu Sheng said in surprise:

"Thank you, steward, for letting me know!"

A huge stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Gu Erniu had been in the mountains for half a month, and now he finally returned safely.

Gu Erniu's family is the only close family left in the Gu family village, and Gu Sheng doesn't want anything to happen to them.

He walked quickly towards his home, originally thinking of putting away his things and going to take a look at Gu Erniu's house, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a long-lost, sturdy figure pacing and waiting there.

"Brother Erniu!"

"A Sheng!"

Both of them laughed in surprise. Gu Erniu stepped forward, hugged Gu Sheng tightly and patted Gu Sheng's arm.

"What a good boy, I haven't seen you for half a month, and you've grown so much!"

Gu Erniu grinned, with some surprise in his eyes.

Gu Sheng's changes were indeed great.

Originally, he still looked weak and indifferent, but now, his arm muscles have begun to show slightly, mainly because of his temperament, which is very unusual.

There is a feeling of being calm in the face of danger, and seems to have confidence.

The changes brought to Gu Sheng by the wild wolf raid were not only the wolf meat, but also the baptism of his soul. After killing two evil wolves with his own hands, Gu Sheng's courage was greatly improved.

Hearing Gu Erniu's praise, Gu Sheng just smiled.

Take Gu Erniu into the house.

"Brother Erniu, you are finally back."

Gu Erniu couldn't help but sigh:

"Yeah, I'm finally back."

He looked directly into Gu Sheng's eyes and said sincerely:

"Thank you very much while I was away. If you hadn't risked your life to save me that night, Sister-in-law and Xiao Wan would have probably..."

As he said that, Gu Erniu looked frightened and bowed to Gu Sheng with his fists raised.

Gu Sheng quickly supported Gu Erniu and said:

"Brother Erniu, you don't have to be like this. You and your sister-in-law treat me like your own brother, how can I not save you even if you die?"

Gu Erniu shook his head.

He could tell whether it was dangerous or not just by listening to Li Lian's words. If he didn't have the bow, he would have to be careful even if he came to fight a wild wolf, let alone a fourteen-year-old boy.

He reached out and took out two hares and a pheasant and handed them to Gu Sheng.

"Don't refuse. This trip into the mountains has yielded a good harvest. Many of the prey we caught have been shared with us hunters. This is Brother Erniu's wish. If you refuse, you don't regard me and your sister-in-law as your own!"

Gu Erniu was stunned, and Gu Sheng accepted the game.

He asked curiously:

"Brother Erniu, why did you go into the mountain this time?"

The relationship between the two is also closer, otherwise Gu Sheng would not ask this question.

Gu Erniu glanced outside the door, stood up, closed the wooden door, and lowered his voice:

"It's for a demon wolf!"

"Speaking of which, the wolf attack that night is probably inseparable from the demonic wolf. The demonic wolf was chased so closely by us that it tried to attack in the east and west."

Gu Sheng was shocked.

Demon wolf!

He knew that this world not only had warriors who were powerful enough to carry cauldrons and split mountains and rivers, but also had powerful and strange demons, but these had only existed in rumors before.

Ordinary people would never see this in their lifetime. Those who have seen it are probably dead.

But now, they learned from Gu Erniu that they were hunting a demon wolf!

What a shocking thing.

Gu Sheng's interest increased greatly.

Gu Erniu looked a little excited.

"There are seven or eight warriors in our group, three hunters, especially the master Gu Changming, who is extremely fierce. It is said that his strength is even higher than that of Gu Jingang, and he is leading the team this time !”

"After we entered the mountain that day, we quickly discovered the traces of the demon wolf. However, this beast was very cunning and intelligent. He actually played hide and seek with us, which delayed our time."

Gu Sheng couldn't help but ask:

"What does the demon wolf look like?"

“It’s more than half a foot tall, with silver fur all over its body, just like satin, and its eyes are blood-red, and its speed is amazing!”

Gu Erniu was still a little frightened.

“Even though we were well prepared, we were injured, but fortunately no one died.”

Gu Sheng’s mind flashed with the appearance of the demon wolf, and he couldn’t help but marvel.

Thinking of the appearance of the wild wolf that night, it was probably affected by the demon wolf and lost its mind, so it dared to raid the village.

Gu Erniu continued:

“After a long delay, we found the trace of the demon wolf again. This time, your brother Erniu was very powerful. I shot an arrow through the clouds and hit the demon wolf’s hind legs fiercely, which laid the foundation for the situation!”

He looked very proud.

“This time, your brother Erniu has made great contributions and established a relationship with Lord Gu Changming. In the future, if we two brothers are bullied in the village, we will have a backer.”

Gu Sheng listened to Gu Erniu’s bragging and couldn’t help laughing in his heart.

Gu Erniu has a generous personality, so he probably exaggerated a little, but it is true that he made a contribution.

Gu Sheng estimated that Gu Erniu accidentally shot the demon wolf's hind legs while the warriors were fighting with it, making the subsequent pursuit easier, so he made a contribution.

He smiled and responded to a few words, and then asked:

"I used to hear the old man in the village say that demons are very powerful creatures, and even have various powerful magical powers. Why doesn't this demon wolf sound particularly powerful? Could it be injured or give birth?"

Gu Sheng had seen Gu Jingang take action. Although he was extremely strong, it should not be exaggerated.

Even if Gu Changming is stronger than Gu Jingang, it won't be particularly outrageous.

With such strength, he can hunt down a demon wolf with a few warriors and hunters, which does not match the strength of the demon in Gu Sheng's imagination.

Gu Erniu laughed and said:

"Asheng, you are still smart. I heard from Lord Gu Changming that this demon wolf is not a real demon, but has some demon blood."

Gu Sheng suddenly realized.

So that's how it is.

"Then, brother Erniu, do you know why the demon wolf is hunted in the village?"

Gu Erniu shook his head and said:

"This is the business of the masters of the main family. They won't tell us. We are only responsible for leading the way."

Gu Sheng nodded and smiled:

"Anyway, it's good that you returned safely this time. It's just right for you to stay at home for a while."

Gu Erniu also nodded.

The harvest this time was rich enough to allow Gu Erniu's family to spend a period of time in peace. Going into the mountains to hunt sounds cool, but in fact it is also risking your life to make money. If you are not careful, you will be torn to pieces by wild beasts.

The secret of hunters' long life is to go into the mountains as little as possible.

The two chatted for a while, and Gu Erniu looked at Gu Sheng, finally made up his mind, and asked in a deep voice:

"A Sheng, do you want to learn archery?"
