"Now, I finally have some ability to protect myself."

Gu Sheng felt relieved.

In such a troubled world, I am just a skinny fourteen-year-old boy who has to stop eating when he meets a stronger adult.

Now that he has mastered chopping firewood, he can fully mobilize his whole body's strength.

If he had an ax or hatchet in hand, Gu Sheng felt that his combat effectiveness would be greatly improved.

Return home.

Gu Sheng made a fire to cook.

The rice tank is about to bottom out, and it is estimated that it will only last another four or five days.

Now that he has accomplished a great job in chopping firewood, starting from tomorrow, the wages for chopping firewood will exceed the daily consumption for the first time.

"Brother Erniu hasn't come back yet, can something really happen?"

Gu Sheng was a little worried.

After eating, he went to see Li Lian again.

Helping Li Lian pick up a few buckets of water to fill the water tank at home, it was obvious that Li Lian was a little absent-minded. The worries of the past few days had made her face look very ugly.

"Your Brother Erniu has been out for so long and you haven't come back yet. If he really has a problem, what should we do?"

Li Lian sighed quietly.

Gu Sheng could only comfort him patiently:

"Sister-in-law Erniu, no one in the village has come back. Maybe they were delayed in the mountains. Just take care of the house. Brother Erniu will come back naturally."

Li Lian nodded silently.

Gu Sheng had no choice but to pray in his heart that Gu Erniu would return safely.

Although he is stronger now, he has also reached the level of great success in chopping firewood.

But it was impossible for him to go into the mountains to search for it alone, as he was afraid that he would be eaten up by wild beasts on the way.

the next day.

Gu Sheng then went to the master's house to chop firewood.

After mastering the skill of splitting firewood, Gu Sheng can mobilize his whole body's strength, which has exceeded the upper limit of splitting a piece of firewood. Gu Sheng can save a lot of energy.

Efficiency is greatly increased.

In one day, Gu Sheng chopped nine hundred pieces of firewood.

More than expected!

"Nine cents! I can finally save money!"

Gu Sheng was excited. It was already a great thing that he could save a penny every day while maintaining his nutritional intake.

To know.

Gu Sheng's father had been busy for most of his life, but he had only saved 532 copper coins.

"However, my proficiency in splitting firewood has only increased by 4% today. It will only take more than 200 pieces of firewood to increase by 1%."

At this rate, Gu Sheng estimated that it would take close to a month to raise Pichai to the perfect state.

It's a bit slow compared to before, but Gu Sheng knows that this is already very fast, and ordinary people may not be able to achieve great success in chopping firewood in a lifetime.

Mobilize the whole body's strength.

It sounds simple, but in fact it is difficult.

Manage the courtyard.

The shock on Gu He's face reached the point where he couldn't hide it at all.

"What? You said you chopped 900 pieces of firewood?"

In less than half a month.

Gu Sheng refreshed Gu He's views step by step. From the beginning, he thought that Gu Sheng might not be able to chop two hundred sticks of firewood, but now, he can actually chop nine hundred logs in one day.

This is equivalent to the workload of two strong adults.

Gu He suddenly stood up.

Although he probably knew that the young man's character would not lie after spending time together, he was still shocked in his heart.

I want to know how Gu Sheng did it.

The two arrived at the woodshed.

Without waiting for Gu He to speak, Gu Sheng directly set up a piece of firewood.

Turning around and kicking, using the strength of his waist and abdomen, he struck down with the axe. In Gu He's eyes, Gu Sheng was like a big bow drawn out, contracting violently, bursting out with powerful force. The whole movement was smooth and flowing, with a different kind of beauty. .

Cross!

The firewood was easily split into two pieces, as if there was no resistance at all.

Gu He's eyes showed wonder and he couldn't help but praise:

"What a strong understanding!"

Of course he could see that the reason why Gu Sheng was able to chop more firewood these days was all due to skill, not brute force.

"With the help of the whole body, it is really not easy to be able to understand such exquisite force-generating skills from just chopping firewood. If he can practice martial arts, this kid..."

Gu Sheng was thinking in his heart and suddenly asked:

"Are you fourteen this year?"

Gu Sheng replied respectfully:

"After this winter, it will be fifteen."

Gu He's eyes lit up, he nodded slowly and said:

"Fifteen is good. When the boys in the village turn fifteen, they can go to Gu Jingang's place to practice martial arts together. Did you know?"

"Know."

"Work hard and try it if you have the chance. In this world, only by practicing martial arts and strengthening your body can you have the power to protect yourself and control your destiny. You have a good understanding, don't waste it."

Gu He's words were somewhat serious and thoughtful.

It's a pity that he is only in charge. If he is a direct descendant of the master's family, he must cultivate the young man in front of him well.

With such understanding, given time, this young man will most likely become a strong martial artist in the village.

But nevertheless.

Gu He still secretly planned in his heart that he could provide Gu Sheng with more convenience in the future, and making good friends in advance might help him rely on him in the future.

Gu Sheng nodded seriously and thanked him.

Gu He is already very good at being able to talk about this.

Stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun and returning home.

Gu Sheng was in a good mood after making nine cents for the first time.

Put the copper coins from these days together and count them carefully. There are sixty-nine copper coins in total. If converted into rice bran, it can be about seventeen kilograms.

Look at what's left in the rice vat.

Gu Sheng thought about it.

"In the past ten days, I have spent about ten kilograms of rice bran. Fortunately, from today on, I can achieve a basic balance of income and expenditure."

Gu Sheng was very happy.

Eating rice bran rice and wild vegetable roots, and eating the last piece of smoked meat that Gu Erniu sent last time, Gu Sheng felt very satisfied.

"I will buy rice tomorrow. Unfortunately, there is no meat again."

Although it was just two small pieces of smoked meat, it made Gu Sheng satisfied. Although the consumption of two kilograms of rice bran every day for the past ten days was expensive, the benefits were obvious.

Gu Sheng clearly felt that his body was stronger, and he no longer felt a little sick as before.

"If I stick to it, my body should be stronger in the future."

Gu Sheng's mind was turning various thoughts.

He fell asleep on the kang in a daze.

...

In the night sky.

There was a whistling sound of wind, and from time to time there were all kinds of faint barking and cicada chirping sounds coming from afar, which seemed to ring in the ear, but also seemed to be very far away.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly in his sleep.

Awoo~!

It seemed that he heard the howl of a wolf.

Gu Sheng turned over, dazed, and then suddenly woke up.

The howl of the wolf seemed to ring in his ear!

The originally sleepy eyes woke up in an instant, and Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with horror.

"There are wolves in the village!"

He felt a chill in his heart. It was obviously a summer night, but there were fine goose bumps on his arms, and his heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

This is a wolf!

In a one-on-one fight, an adult with a weapon would not necessarily lose if he was ruthless, but wolves are social animals. If you meet them in the wild, they will basically end up being eaten.

"How is it possible? How could a wolf pack suddenly attack a village?"

Gu Sheng's heart beat more and more violently. Hearing the wolf howl getting closer and closer, he was afraid and confused.

In theory, Gujia Village has a large population and the wolf pack is not low in intelligence. They would not launch such a suicidal attack.

But now is not the time to be confused.

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, took down the hatchet hanging in the room, and walked to the door lightly. Through the crack of the door, he could vaguely see 20 to 30 agile figures in the distance dispersing to various places in the village.

His eyes were extremely solemn, and he sighed in his heart:

"Although the wolf pack did not know why it dispersed, it is a greater threat to ordinary people. When the masters in the village react, I don't know how many people will die in the mouth of the wolf."

Dozens of wolves will naturally not cause any devastating blow to Gujia Village, but for the villagers in the village, it is a disaster!

Gu Sheng was just glad that the wild wolf did not find him.

But immediately, the rustling sound made his scalp numb, and the arm muscles that had just relaxed tightened again!

The friction between the four claws and the sand and the wolf's panting were very conspicuous in the night sky. Gu Sheng carefully looked towards the crack of the door.

He saw a strong wolf twitching its nose and leaping over the fence outside the house.

A wolf, staring at this side!
