Chapter 4
When he got near his house, he saw a young woman in a hairpin skirt holding a boy waiting for her. Seeing Gu Sheng, the pretty woman immediately showed a happy smile.

"Ah Sheng, you are finally back."

A smile appeared on Gu Sheng's face.

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

The woman in front of him was Gu Erniu's wife, Li Lian who was married to Li Jiabao next door, and the boy was Gu Erniu's son, Gu Wan.

Li Lian's figure is wrapped in a sarong, but her graceful charm can still be seen, which is quite different from ordinary peasant women, but calluses can be seen faintly on her palms, obviously she is not pampered.

Back then, Gu Erniu had to waste a lot of effort in order to marry Li Lian.

Although Gu Erniu is not a warrior, he is very good at archery, and he gave a lot of precious prey as dowry gifts.

Gu Wan giggled and circled around the fence.

Li Lian blamed a few words, then smiled at Gu Sheng:

"Ah Sheng, you went to chop firewood at the master's house today, you must be tired."

She opened the basket covered with gray cloth in her hands, and found out a piece of black bacon the size of half a palm, and a small earthen pot, handed it to Gu Sheng, and continued:
"This is what Erniu brother specially ordered. There is still some leftover rabbit meat from the beating a few days ago. You can eat it. If you gain some strength, you can't bear to chop firewood every day."

"This jar is filled with the ointment you used when you practiced arrows. Apply some on the sore and swollen parts. It will feel better tomorrow."

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

There was a warm current rushing through Gu Sheng's heart.

The world is difficult, but Gu Erniu's family can still treat themselves like this. Knowing that it was the first day they chopped firewood, they specially prepared some meat and plaster. Regardless of the value, this friendship is very important.

"Thank you Erniu sister-in-law, Erniu brother." Gu Sheng said softly, grateful in his heart.

Li Lian pursed her lips and chuckled:

"If you really want to thank Erniu brother, live well and work hard in the future. Marrying a daughter-in-law and giving birth to a big fat boy can be regarded as comforting your father's spirit in heaven."

She was also a little surprised.

Usually when Gu Sheng sees him, he is afraid to look directly at him, even a little shy, but now, he is very calm.

"Okay, okay, you have a good rest, sister-in-law has to go home to cook for your Erniu brother, he went to the village to chat with his buddies who used to practice martial arts together, and when he comes back, he can't see the meal, and he has to blame your sister-in-law."

Li Lian said with a smile, although she was complaining, but there was a smile in the corner 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 someone who supports 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, I'll bring you the jar after the plaster is used up."

Li Lian just waved her hand, then 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 pursing his lips, feeling salivating.

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

Gu Sheng turned around and entered the room.

Cook on fire.

I dug out half a catty of rice bran from the rice tank, thought about it, and dug out another half catty.

Chopping wood consumes a lot of physical energy and needs to be supplemented, otherwise the body will be severely depleted if it goes on like this for a long time.

"If you want to practice martial arts in the future, it doesn't matter if your body is too thin. From today on, eat two catties of rice every day."

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth.

Decided to start adding meals today.

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

Otherwise, even if the tuition fee is collected, it will be difficult.

After the rice was cooked, Gu Sheng started to process the smoked rabbit meat.

Simply rinse with well water, and the water does not need to be poured out. It can be used to cook wild vegetables, which can somewhat taste meaty.

After the rabbit meat is cooked in the pot, after a while, there will be a smell of meat overflowing.

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

Put the rice in a big pot, and stuff it into your mouth regardless of whether the rabbit meat is still hot.

"Shasha!"

Gu Sheng breathed out again and again, but he couldn't bear to spit out a little bit of rabbit meat. The aroma was overflowing in his mouth, and he felt that his whole body was immersed in joy.

Although he has awakened the memories of his previous life, there are countless kinds of delicacies, but in this life, meat is still a luxury for Gu Sheng. When his father was around, he could only eat it on some important festivals.

With rabbit meat, even the wild vegetables are a little more fragrant.

Gu Sheng gorged himself, and the rice in the bowl decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

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

"It would be great if there was meat to eat every day!"

Gu Sheng couldn't help thinking.

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

He sat and rested for a while, and began to apply the plaster that Li Lian had sent over.

There is only a shallow layer of crock plaster left.

Picking out some of the branches, it was dark and had an unpleasant smell of medicine. Gu Sheng did not change his face, and carefully applied the plaster on his arms. After thinking about it, he still picked out a small piece and applied it on his waist and abdomen.

"The rest can be painted two or three times. After two or three times, the body is almost used to it."

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

This kindness is great.

But he can't protect himself now, even if he wants to repay his kindness, he has to wait until later.

Gu Sheng sat on the kang, while kneading and relaxing his muscles, he continued to sort out his memories and awaken Su Hui, but all kinds of memories were still messy. He wanted to see if there was a 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, this medicine is quite effective."

With a word of praise in his heart, Gu Sheng dressed and cooked, he was full, stuffed a few more rice bran cakes, and headed towards the direction of the master's house.

With the experience of chopping firewood yesterday, I am familiar with the way today.

Standing in front of piles of firewood, Gu Sheng's face was full of hope.

"Open your liver!"

Cross!

Cross!

The sound of chopping wood continued intermittently until sunset.

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

The result of today's battle is 320 pieces of firewood!
During this time, I realized a more labor-saving method of exerting force, and my proficiency in chopping wood reached 65%!

"Pichai is promoted to Xiaocheng, just around the corner!"

Gu Sheng was very excited.

Standing in front of Gu He, he told Gu He's astonished eyes how much firewood he had cut today.

Gu He didn't say much.

"Today, I still owe three Wen for dozens of firewood, remember to make up."

Gu Sheng just nodded.

……

Day three.

I don't know if it's his own illusion. Gu Sheng felt that his strength seemed to have increased a little after two consecutive days of full meals and continuous chopping of firewood.

There was about an hour before the sun set.

Gu Sheng was chopping firewood in the backyard.

He skillfully erected a log on the stake, and raised the ax with both hands, as if blessed to the soul, Gu Sheng stepped on the ground with his right foot, kicked, and poured force into his waist and abdomen, pouring into his arms, and the ax slashed down fiercely with a whistling sound.

Cross!

There was the crisp cracking sound of firewood.

I saw that the ax went straight to the bottom, extremely silky, as if there was no resistance, it split the firewood in two.

Gu Sheng couldn't bear to open the panel.

[Martial Arts]: Chopping firewood (minor success 0%).
