When they arrived near the house, they saw a young woman in a hairpin skirt and a cloth holding a boy waiting. When she saw Gu Sheng, the pretty woman immediately smiled with joy.

"A Sheng, you are finally back."

Gu Sheng had a smile on his face.

"Sister-in-law Erniu, and Xiao Wan, why are you here?"

The woman in front of her is Gu Erniu's wife, Li Lian, who married from Lijiabao next door, and the boy is Gu Erniu's son, Gu Wan.

Li Lian's figure was wrapped in a sarong, but she could still see her graceful charm, which was very different from that of ordinary peasant women. However, there were faint calluses on her palms, and she was obviously not pampered.

Gu Erniu had put in a lot of effort in order to marry Li Lian.

Although Gu Erniu was not a warrior, he was good at archery and gave many rare prey as betrothal gifts.

Gu Wan chuckled and circled around the fence.

Li Lian scolded a few words, then smiled at Gu Sheng and said:

"Asheng, you went to the master's house to chop firewood today. You must be tired."

She opened the basket covered with gray cloth and took out a piece of black bacon half the size of her palm. She also took out a small earthen pot and handed them to Gu Sheng. Then she said:

"This is a special instruction from Brother Erniu. There is still some rabbit meat left from the meat that was beaten a few days ago. You can eat it to gain some strength. You can't bear the burden of chopping firewood every day."

"This jar contains the plaster that your Brother Erniu used when he was practicing archery. Apply some to the sore and swollen parts. It will feel much better tomorrow."

Li Lian introduced them one by one with a smile. Seeing Gu Sheng's hesitation, she stuffed them into Gu Sheng's hands.

A warm current surged through Gu Sheng's heart.

The world was difficult, but Gu Erniu's family could still treat him like this. Knowing that he was chopping firewood on his first day, he specially prepared some meat and plaster. No matter how much it was worth, this friendship was very, very heavy.

"Thank you Mrs. Erniu, Brother Erniu." Gu Sheng said softly, with gratitude in his heart.

Li Lian pursed her lips and chuckled:

"If you really want to thank you Brother Erniu, then live a good life, work hard in the future, marry a wife and give birth to a fat boy, which can be regarded as comforting your father's spirit in heaven."

She was also a little surprised.

Normally, Gu Sheng wouldn't dare to look directly at him, and he was even a little shy, but now, he was very calm.

"Okay, okay, you have a good rest. My sister-in-law has to go home and cook for your Brother Erniu. He goes to the village to chat with his buddies who used to practice martial arts together. When he comes back later and can't see the food, he will have to blame your sister-in-law."

Li Lian said with a smile. Although she was complaining, there was a smile in the corners of her eyes.

Gu Sheng knew.

Gu Erniu and his wife have a very good relationship. In this world, it is not easy to have people who support each other, and it is even more cherished.

Li Lian greeted Gu Wan and walked away.

Gu Sheng suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly:

"Sister-in-law Erniu, when the plaster is used up, I will send you the jar."

Li Lian just waved her hand, turned the corner and disappeared.

Gu Sheng shook his head.

Looking at the smoked rabbit meat and plaster in his hand, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, feeling saliva secretion.

I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and I am really hungry. In addition, I have been chopping firewood all day, so I am very tired, and my stomach starts to growl and make a thunderous sound.

Gu Sheng turned around and entered the room.

Make a fire and cook.

I dug half a kilogram of rice bran from the rice vat. After thinking about it, I dug another half a kilogram.

Chopping firewood consumes a lot of physical energy and needs to be replenished. Otherwise, if this continues for a long time, the body will be severely depleted.

"If you want to practice martial arts in the future, it won't work if you are too thin. Starting from today, just eat two kilograms of rice every day."

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth.

Decided to start eating more meals today.

Now that he has a job of chopping firewood, although he can only earn two or three cents a day for the time being, when he succeeds in chopping firewood, or even a big success, he will make more and more money. Gu Sheng must prepare in advance to start practicing martial arts.

Otherwise, even if I have to raise enough tuition fees, it will be difficult.

After cooking the rice, Gu Sheng began to process the smoked rabbit meat.

Simply rinse with well water, and there is no need to throw away the water. It can be used to cook wild vegetables, which will give it a somewhat meaty taste.

The rabbit meat is cooked in the pot. After a while, the meaty aroma will overflow.

Gu Sheng's stomach was like thunder and he couldn't bear it anymore.

He scooped up the rice in a big basin and stuffed it directly into his mouth, regardless of whether the rabbit meat was still very hot.

"Shashasha!"

Gu Sheng breathed heavily, but he was reluctant to spit out a bit of rabbit meat. The aroma filled his mouth and he felt that his whole body was immersed in pleasure.

Although the memory of his past life has been awakened, and there are countless delicious meals, meat is still a luxury product for Gu Sheng in this life. When his father was around, he could only eat it on some important festivals.

Served with rabbit meat, even the wild vegetables have a bit more flavor.

Gu Sheng was eating happily, and the rice in the basin was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After eating and drinking enough, Gu Sheng burped and felt extremely satisfied.

"It would be great if I had meat to eat every day!"

Gu Sheng couldn't help but think.

After eating like this, the feeling of physical fatigue is greatly reduced. If this is done for a long time, the physical strength will definitely increase very quickly.

He sat and rested for a while, then began to apply the plaster that Li Lian had given him.

Only a shallow layer of the earthen pot plaster remains.

Picking out some branches, they were dark and had an unpleasant medicinal smell. Gu Sheng's expression did not change, and he carefully applied the plaster on his arms. After thinking about it, he picked out a small piece and applied it on his waist and abdomen. .

"You can apply the rest two or three times. After two or three times, your body will almost get used to it."

Gu Sheng felt even more grateful to Gu Erniu's family.

This favor is huge.

However, he is in danger now, so even if he wants to repay the favor, he has to wait until later.

Gu Sheng sat on the kang, kneading and relaxing his muscles while sorting out his memories and awakening his wisdom, but the memories were still very chaotic. He wanted to see if there was any way to quickly change his situation.

The next day.

Gu Sheng got up early in the morning and was surprised to find that his arms and waist were only slightly sore.

"Brother Erniu's medicine is quite effective."

After praising him in his heart, Gu Sheng dressed and cooked, ate a full meal, and stuffed a few more rice bran cakes, and headed towards the master's house.

With the experience of chopping wood yesterday, he was familiar with the way today.

Standing in front of the piles of firewood, Gu Sheng's face was filled with hope.

"Open the liver!"

Crack!

Crack!

The sound of chopping wood was intermittent and continued until sunset.

Gu Sheng wiped the sweat from his face, his eyes full of joy.

Today's result: 324 pieces of firewood chopped!

During this time, he realized a more energy-saving way of exerting force, and his proficiency in chopping firewood reached 65%!

"It's just around the corner to be promoted to a minor success in chopping firewood!"

Gu Sheng was very excited.

He stood in front of Gu He and told Gu He the number of firewood he chopped today in front of Gu He's surprised eyes.

Gu He didn't say much.

"Today's three cents, and I still owe dozens of firewood to chop, remember to make up for it."

Gu Sheng just nodded.

...

The third day.

I don't know if it's my illusion, after two days of full meals and continuous chopping, Gu Sheng feels that his strength seems to have increased a little.

There is about an hour before the sun sets.

Gu Sheng is chopping firewood in the backyard.

He skillfully placed a log on the stake, raised the axe with both hands, and as if a blessing came to his mind, Gu Sheng stepped on the ground with his right foot, turned his leg, and the force reached his waist and abdomen, poured into his arms, and the axe chopped down fiercely with a whistling sound.

Cross!

The crisp cracking sound of firewood came.

The axe went straight to the bottom, very smooth, as if it encountered no resistance, splitting the firewood in two.

Gu Sheng couldn't help but open the panel.

[Martial Arts]: Splitting wood (minor success 0%).
