Chapter 6 Break-even
Gu Sheng let go of some worries in his heart and concentrated on chopping firewood.

Now he can't protect himself, even though he is a little worried about Gu Erniu, there is nothing he can do.

After chopping firewood for a small success.

Just as Gu Sheng estimated, the number of firewood chopped in a day has reached over [-]!

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, and the number of firewood he chopped had increased significantly in a short period of time, which would definitely attract attention.

But he didn't care, this change was nothing serious.

And he had already thought of his words.

Gu He looked at the thin young man in front of him, wondering if it was his illusion, he always felt that compared to the first time he saw him, this young man's physique seemed to be a little longer.

He handed over the settlement to the assistant boy at the side, while he brought Gu Sheng to the firewood room.

Heaps of split firewood were neatly stacked on the other side, making him nod secretly.

"How do you chop wood on weekdays, show me."

Gu He had some guesses in his mind.

Gu Sheng didn't talk nonsense.

Skillfully set up a log of firewood, hold the ax with both hands, turn sideways, kick the ground with the right foot, rotate the waist and abdomen, force through the arms, and chop down fiercely.

Cross!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of firewood cracking, the round firewood was neatly divided into two.

The whole process was simple and neat, without the slightest unnecessary movement.

Gu He's eyes became more and more surprised. He had 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 his whole body strength to such an extent that he was no less than an ordinary adult.

Only a lot of experienced woodcutters can have such skills.

"It's not natural divine power..."

Gu He muttered to himself, and then asked:
"Who taught you to chop wood before?"

Gu Sheng nodded and then shook his head.

"I've seen others chop wood, but I haven't tried it."

Gu He nodded slowly, approvingly said:

"You have good comprehension, work hard, and the master's work of chopping wood will be enough for you to support yourself in the future."

Perhaps seeing a helpless young man regain his footing in this world with his own hands, Gu He's face was a little joyful, and his tone seemed to be a little gentle.

Gu Sheng nodded yes, and watched Gu He go away.

He originally wanted to ask Gu He and Gu Erniu about entering the mountain, but he took it back.

Not quite right.

leave the main house.

Gu Sheng took an earthen jar containing ointment from home, and applied the last thin layer of ointment, but the earthen jar was empty.

Gu Sheng washed the jar clean with water.

After thinking about it, he folded some weeds and weaved them together. After a while, a simple weed grasshopper appeared in Gu Sheng's hands. Under the night, it looked real at first glance.

Gu Sheng smiled with satisfaction, and walked towards Gu Erniu's house with the pot and weed grasshoppers.

Gu Erniu's house is obviously much more affluent than Gu Sheng's house, and the adobe bricks outside the thatched cottage are obviously stronger, less porous, and more than twice as large in area.

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

Gu Sheng stood outside the fence and asked softly.

"Is it Ah Sheng?"

"it's me."

The door opened, and Li Lian carefully looked outside, seeing that it was Gu Sheng, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said angrily:
"Ah Sheng, why are you here so late, to scare my sister-in-law."

Gu Sheng smiled embarrassedly:

"I'm busy chopping firewood during the day..."

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to return the earthen pot from last time, and this gadget, for Xiaowan."

He handed over two things.

When Li Lian saw the grasshopper, she was surprised and said:
"Ah Sheng, do you still have this ability?"

"When I have nothing to do, I'm thinking about it on my own."

"It's a pity. If you are in the city, you can earn a living with this skill. Xiao Wan fell asleep. I thank you for him. When he wakes up and sees this gadget, he must be very happy."

Li Lian took it with a smile on her face, knowing that it was Gu Sheng's kindness, the two exchanged a few words of greeting, and she suddenly sighed:
"Your brother Er Niu asked you to come. He is like this. He has been in the mountain for so long this time, and he doesn't know when he will come back."

see it.

Li Lian was also very worried about Gu Erniu's entering the mountain. It usually takes so long to enter the mountain.

Gu Sheng was silent and could only comfort him:

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, there will be no danger with the warriors from the village this time."

Li Lian sighed, "I hope so."

"It's so late, Ah Sheng, you should go back to rest early, you have to get up early to chop firewood tomorrow, you really are..."

Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I chop firewood 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 nothing wrong with Li Lian, Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Back home, silently counting the savings at home.

"In the past few days, I have been consuming about two catties of rice bran every day. There is still enough left in the rice tank for me to eat for about twelve days. It is not a big problem to last until the firewood is done."

"As for the total income from chopping firewood, I'll put it here for a total of [-] cents. I'll wait until the balance of income and expenditure is achieved after the firewood chopping is complete, and then go to the village to buy rice."

"From now on, I have to eat two catties of rice every day, otherwise I won't be able to grow meat, and I will be too thin."

In the past few days, Gu Sheng felt that his body was much stronger after eating well and doing firewood chopping exercises.

This is a good start.

"Although it is a bit slower, it is better to be safe."

Gu Sheng didn't become complacent just because he awakened the panel. This world is very dangerous, so it's better to be steady and take your time.

It's hard to get started.

The first pot of gold is the hardest to earn.

……

the next few days.

Gu Sheng continued to chop firewood, living two points and one line, chopping firewood at the master's house, resting at his own house, very regular.

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

Originally, Gu Erniu had agreed that it would take three to five days at most, 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, orphans and widows, it will be difficult to live.

He can only comfort in this way——

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

That's how he comforted himself.

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

Gu Sheng continued his experience of chopping firewood and liver.

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

Gu Sheng can also feel that his body is getting stronger and stronger, and his strength is also approaching a higher level.

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

The sun is about to set.

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 had a different feeling.

For an instant.

Gu Sheng felt that all his strength was condensed together, transmitted through the legs, hips, waist, and arms one by one, without any waste, and completely condensed on the ax blade.

Cross!

Boom!
The firewood was split into two without the slightest resistance, not only that, but the ax blade continued to go down, and was firmly embedded in the wooden pile below!

This strength, far surpasses before, is much stronger than the average adult.

Gu Sheng was stunned.

Then there was a look of surprise, and when he opened the panel, he saw that there was a new change in the column of martial arts.

[Martial Arts]: Chopping firewood (0% success)!
He grinned and couldn't help showing a smile.

"The efficiency of chopping wood is at least doubled! Finally, we can achieve a balance of income and expenditure, and even have a surplus!"

Gu Sheng felt that life was getting better.
