I am Fugui

Chapter 3 Lai Shun and Long Root

It was already dusk, and the blood-colored sunset leaned against the top of the mountain, dyeing the clouds in the sky red.

Xu's mother sat on the threshold, hammering her knees lightly, with a smile on her lips, looking at her son with joy.

"Fugui, be careful, don't chop your own feet, you haven't worked before, so you don't know how to use your strength."

"Also, this ax doesn't belong to us, it's borrowed from the Sun's family next door. It's not easy for them to chop it down."

Xu Fugui responded, exerting strength on his waist and abdomen, and threw the ax in his hand in a beautiful arc. The firewood he was stepping on was split in two immediately, and the whole process was smooth.

While chopping firewood, he looked at the beautiful dusk, perhaps because he was happy, and he also had the leisure to appreciate the surrounding scenery.

Unlike his previous life, since his family left one by one, he paid less and less attention to his surroundings, and his life became more and more numb.

"Fugui, when did you learn how to chop wood?"

Xu Fugui kept moving his hands, and took out a piece of firewood again and pressed it under his feet, "There's nothing I can't learn from this. I've seen others chop it before, and I learned how to chop it."

Xu's mother clapped her legs happily, "Okay, my Fugui is a good worker."

While talking, Xu Fugui chopped two more firewood, Xu's mother hurriedly said: "Fugui, slow down, you slow down, the fever has just subsided, you can't work too hard, your body can't bear it."

"It's okay, mother, I'm fine."

After rebirth, his physical fitness has been greatly enhanced, and the six-jin ax looks like it has no weight in his hand, and it feels light in his hand.

After chopping several pieces of firewood in a row, it didn't even have the effect of warming up. Obviously, his physical strength was much better than in his previous life.

Right now, he is full of inexhaustible strength.

"By the way, mother, where did dad go?"

Xu Fugui was a little puzzled. In his previous life, on the second day after they moved to the thatched cottage, Father Xu accidentally fell down and died while squatting in the toilet.

But his memory is now the third day since they moved into the thatched cottage, but Father Xu is still fine.

He guessed that it was probably because he had a fever and lay unconscious on the bed, so Father Xu had to take on the burden of being the head of the family again, and he didn't dare to die easily.

Perhaps from the moment he was reborn with a fever, the butterfly effect has begun to flap its wings.

"Your father, your father went out and said he borrowed some food to come back. Alas, we don't care what we eat, it's just that Jiazhen is suffering, and she still has your child in her belly."

Xu Fugui was silent, and then smiled, "Don't worry, mother, I will find a way."

He has just been reborn, and his mind is still a little confused. Although he doesn't know where to start, he is still confident in supporting his family.

Xu's mother said again: "There are also Changgen and Laishun. They went to the mountain to find firewood. The firewood on the ground was all brought back by them."

Xu Fugui stopped his movements and raised his head, "Changgen, no, Uncle Gen and Laishun haven't left?"

Chang Gen is a hired worker of his family. He is the same age as Xu's father and has stayed in Xu's family all his life. It stands to reason that his Xu family should support him in the old age.

Unexpectedly, his Xu family lost all of his property. In his previous life, Changgen voluntarily left to become a beggar outside in order not to drag down their family. His life was extremely miserable.

As for Laishun, he was adopted by the Xu family since he was a child and served as a follower by his side. He is tall and strong, and he is good at fighting.

He was also forced to leave the Xu family in his previous life, and later heard from Chang Gen, who came back as a beggar, that Laishun was beaten to death by a gang of liars.

Although these two people did not have the blood of the Xu family, they were already members of his Xu family, and it was the Xu family who owed them.

If possible, Xu Fugui wanted to keep the two of them in his life.

Xu's mother looked at her excited son and shook her head, "Yes, you should be called Uncle Gen, now it's not like before."

"Your father and the two of them also said that our Xu family is sorry for them, whether to go or stay, let them decide."

"But Changgen and Laishun said they would wait until you recovered from your illness before leaving. They are worried about you, young master."

Snapped!
The thigh-thick firewood was split into two pieces, and the setting sun reflected Xu Fugui's fair face red, "Our Xu family is the one who is sorry for them."

At this time, a loud voice came from a distance.

"Master, are you awake?!"

With one address, Xu Fugui fell into a trance. He didn't know how long he hadn't heard someone call him young master.

Looking up, a burly man came running steadily with a large bundle of firewood on his shoulders.

The firewood is all branches as thick as a baby's fist, neatly tied together with bamboo strips, and it looks like it must weigh no more than eighty catties, but it seems that there is no weight on his shoulders at all.

This bald man is Laishun, despite his rough appearance, he is actually very young, five years younger than him, and has just come of age.

Behind him was a hunchbacked old man with long roots. He kept calling to slow down, because he couldn't keep up.

Coming to Xu Fugui, Laishun threw the firewood on the ground and said happily from the bottom of his heart: "Master, you are awake."

Looking up at the burly man in front of him, the gradually blurred figure in his mind became clear again, he nodded silently, remembering what happened to Shun in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel even more guilty.

Laishun was not good at words, seeing the young master was silent, he didn't think much, just smirked by himself.

Chang Gen followed up panting, and Xu Fugui quickly took the withered grass off his back, "Uncle Gen, I'm sorry for you, you are still suffering with us at such an age."

Chang Gen was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his hands awkwardly, "Master, you, I am Chang Gen, this, this, this..."

Xu Fugui said openly: "Uncle Gen, it's wrong that I was a bastard in the past. You have always been my uncle, so you should be called that."

"Also, I won't be the young master anymore, please don't call me young master, just call me Fugui."

Chang Gen and Lai Shun shook their heads in unison, "No, the young master has always been the young master. Even if the young master loses his family property, he is still our young master. We will follow the young master for the rest of our lives!"

Xu Fugui's face was a little moved, and he persuaded: "No matter what, don't call me young master in the future, we are all ordinary people now, you know."

The title of young master may be more popular in recent years, but once the new rabbit country is established, it will become a hot potato.

Just taking advantage of the past few years, just like in the previous life, people's impression of their family as a landlord has faded.

Laishun touched his bald head, "But what's my name if I don't call you Young Master?"

"Just call me Brother Gui."

Lai Shun's mind was stuck, and he immediately agreed when he heard the words, and added with a smirk: "Then young master, you can't drive me away. Uncle Gen said that we will leave when the young master wakes up, but I don't want to leave the young master."

"Laishun!" Chang Gen slapped his arm hard, his dark face turned purple, "Didn't I tell you not to say these things?"
