Gu Sheng put aside some of his worries and concentrated on chopping wood.

Now he couldn't protect himself, although he was a little worried about Gu Erniu, there was nothing he could do.

After chopping wood.

Just as Gu Sheng estimated, the number of wood chopped a day reached more than 500!

When Gu Sheng took the five copper coins from Gu He, he could clearly feel the surprise in Gu He's eyes.

Very strong.

Gu Sheng knew what Gu He was thinking. The increase in the number of wood he chopped in a short period of time would definitely attract attention.

But he didn't care. This change was nothing serious.

And he had already thought of an excuse.

Gu He looked at the thin boy in front of him. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the boy seemed to have grown a little compared to the first time he saw him.

He handed the settlement to the assistant boy beside him, and took Gu Sheng to the wood room.

The piles of chopped firewood were neatly stacked on the other side, which made him nod secretly.

"How do you chop wood on weekdays? Show me how."

Gu He had some guesses in his mind.

Gu Sheng didn't waste words.

He skillfully stood a log, raised the axe with both hands, turned sideways, pushed the ground with his right foot, rotated his waist and abdomen, and chopped it down fiercely with both arms.

Crack!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of wood cracking, the log was neatly split into two.

The whole process was neat and tidy, without any unnecessary movements.

Gu He's eyes became more and more surprised. He practiced martial arts when he was young. Although he was not a martial artist, his eyesight was extraordinary.

In his eyes, Gu Sheng was able to mobilize all his strength to this extent, and he was not inferior to ordinary adults with one axe.

Only many experienced woodcutters have such skills.

"Not born with supernatural power..."

Gu He muttered to himself, and then asked:

"Who taught you to chop wood before?"

Gu Sheng nodded and shook his head at first.

"I've seen others chop wood, but I've never tried it."

Gu He nodded slowly and praised:

"You have good comprehension. Work hard. The chopping wood for the master's family will be enough for you to support yourself in the future."

Perhaps it was because he saw a helpless boy relying on his own hands to regain his foothold in this world, Gu He's face was a little happy, and his tone seemed to be a little gentler.

Gu Sheng nodded in response and watched Gu He go away.

He wanted to ask Gu He about Gu Erniu's entry into the mountains, but he took the words back when they were on his lips.

Not quite appropriate.

Leave the master's house.

Gu Sheng took the clay pot of ointment from home, applied the last thin layer of ointment, and the clay pot was empty.

Gu Sheng washed the pot clean with water.

Thinking about it, he broke a few more wild grasses and wove them together. Not long after, a simple wild grass grasshopper appeared in Gu Sheng's hand. Under the night, it looked like a real one at first glance.

Gu Sheng smiled with satisfaction, and walked towards Gu Erniu's house with the jar and the grasshopper.

Gu Erniu's family was obviously much more well-off than Gu Sheng's. The earthen bricks outside the thatched house were obviously more solid, without so many holes, and the area was more than twice as large.

"Sister-in-law Erniu, are you home?"

Gu Sheng stood outside the fence and asked softly.

"Is it Ah Sheng?"

"It's me."

The door opened, and Li Lian looked outside carefully. Seeing that it was Gu Sheng, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said angrily:

"Why are you here so late, Ah Sheng? You scared your sister-in-law."

Gu Sheng smiled a little embarrassedly:

"I was busy chopping wood during the day..."

"Sister-in-law, I came to return the clay pot last time, and this little thing, which I gave to Xiao Wan."

He handed over the two things.

Li Lian saw the grasshopper and was surprised:

"A Sheng, you have this skill?"

"I figured it out when I had nothing to do."

"What a pity. If I were in the city, I could make a living with this skill. Xiao Wan is asleep. I thank you on his behalf. When he wakes up and sees this little thing, he will definitely be overjoyed."

Li Lian took it with a smile on her face. Knowing that this was Gu Sheng's good intention, the two exchanged a few words. She suddenly sighed:

"It was your brother Erniu who asked you to come. He is like this. He has been in the mountains for so long this time. I don't know when he can come back."

It can be seen.

Li Lian was also very worried about Gu Erniu's going into the mountains. It usually takes so long to go into the mountains.

Gu Sheng was silent and could only comfort him:

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. There will be warriors from the village with you this time. There will be no danger."

Li Lian sighed, "I hope so."

"It's so late. A Sheng, you should go back and rest early. You have to get up early to chop wood tomorrow. Your brother Erniu is really..."

Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm chopping wood at the master's house during the day. If you need my help, just call me. I can handle this job now."

"Okay, okay, let's go back!"

Gu Sheng turned and went home.

Seeing that there was no problem with Li Lian, Gu Sheng was relieved.

Back home, he silently calculated the family's savings.

"These days, I consume about two kilograms of rice bran every day. The remaining rice in the rice jar is enough for me to eat for about twelve days, and it won't be a problem until I can chop wood well."

"As for the fifteen cents earned from chopping wood, I will put it here first. When I can achieve a balance between income and expenditure after chopping wood well, I will go to the village to buy rice."

"I have to eat two kilograms of rice every day in the future, otherwise I can't grow meat, and I can't be too thin."

These days, with a full stomach and the exercise of chopping wood, Gu Sheng felt that his body was much stronger.

This is a good start.

"Although it's a little slow, it's better than safety."

Gu Sheng was not complacent just because he had awakened the panel. The world was very dangerous, so it was better to be steady and slow.

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

The first pot of gold is the hardest to earn.

The next few days.

Gu Sheng continued to chop firewood and lived a balanced life. He chopped firewood at the main house and rested at his own house. It was very regular.

Occasionally, I would go to Gu Erniu's house to see if there was any heavy work that I could help with.

Gu Erniu originally agreed that it would take at least three to five days, but he still hadn't come back on the fifth day.

Gu Sheng could see that the anxiety and worry on Li Lian's face were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In this world, if the man in the family is gone, it will be difficult for orphans and widowers to survive.

He could only comfort like this——

The people in the village who went into the mountains haven't come back yet, which means it's just a delay.

This is how he comforted himself.

Gu Erniu didn't come back, but life had to go on.

Gu Sheng continued his experience in splitting firewood liver.

The efficiency of liver experience is very stable every day, ranging from 14% to 10%, getting closer and closer to Dacheng.

Gu Sheng could also feel that his body was getting stronger and his strength was moving towards a higher level.

It was the eighth day after Gu Erniu entered the mountain.

The sun is setting.

Gu Sheng was chopping firewood in the backyard of his master's house.

As always, he used his strength to swing the axe, but this time, Gu Sheng obviously felt different.

For a moment.

Gu Sheng felt that all his strength was condensed together and transmitted through his legs, hips, waist, and arms one by one. There was no waste at all, and it was completely concentrated on the ax blade.

Cross!

Boom!

The firewood was split into two without any resistance. Not only that, the ax blade continued downward and was deeply embedded in the wooden stake below!

This power is far greater than before, much stronger than the average adult.

Gu Sheng was stunned.

Then there was a look of surprise. When I opened the panel, I saw that there were new changes in the martial arts column.

[Martial Arts]: Splitting firewood (great success 0%)!

His lips curled up and he couldn't help but smile.

"A great success in chopping wood. The efficiency of chopping wood has at least doubled! We can finally break even and even have a balance!"

Gu Sheng felt that life was about to get better.
