Chapter 7 The Wild Wolf
"Now, I finally have a little bit of self-preservation power."

Gu Sheng felt relieved.

Living in such a troubled world, I am just a 14-year-old thin boy, and I have to stop eating when I meet a stronger adult.

Now that he has achieved great success in chopping firewood, he can fully mobilize his whole body strength.

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

Go home.

Gu Sheng turned on the fire to cook.

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

Now chopping firewood is very successful, starting from tomorrow, the wages for chopping wood will exceed the daily consumption for the first time.

"Brother Erniu hasn't come back yet, so something really happened?"

Gu Sheng was a little worried.

After eating, he went to Li Lian's place to take another look.

Helped Li Lian pick up a few buckets of water to fill up the water tank at home. It was obvious that Li Lian was a little absent-minded. The worries of the past few days made her complexion much ugly.

"Your Erniu brother has been away for so long and hasn't come back. If there is something wrong with him, what should we do?"

Li Lian sighed quietly.

Gu Sheng could only comfort him patiently:
"Sister-in-law Erniu, no one in the village came back, maybe they were delayed in the mountains, you 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 for Gu Erniu's safe return.

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

But it is impossible for him to go into the mountain alone to search for it. He is afraid that he will be eaten up by wild beasts halfway.

……

the next day.

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

After chopping firewood, the strength of the whole body can be mobilized, which has exceeded the upper limit of strength for splitting a firewood, so Gu Sheng can save a lot of energy.

Efficiency is greatly increased.

In one day, Gu Sheng split [-] pieces of firewood.

More than expected!
"Nine coins! I can finally save money!"

Gu Sheng was excited, he could save a penny every day under the premise of maintaining nutritional intake, which is already a remarkable thing.

To know.

Gu Sheng's father has been busy for most of his life, but he only saved 530 two copper coins.

"However, the proficiency of chopping firewood has only increased by 4% today, and it will only increase by 200% if you chop more than 1 pieces of firewood."

According to this speed, Gu Sheng estimates that it will take nearly a month to raise the firewood chopping to the perfect state.

It's a bit slower than before, but Gu Sheng knows that this is already a very fast speed, and ordinary people may not be able to achieve great success in chopping wood in their entire life.

Mobilize the whole body strength.

It sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult.

……

Manage the small courtyard.

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

"What? You said you split nine hundred logs?"

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 split two hundred logs of firewood, but now, he actually splits nine hundred logs a day.

This is already equivalent to the workload of two strong adults.

Gu He stood up abruptly.

Even though he probably knew that the young man's heart 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, borrowing strength from the waist and abdomen, and chopping down with the axe, in Gu He's eyes, Gu Sheng was like a big bow drawn, and suddenly contracted, bursting out with powerful force. The whole movement is smooth and flowing, with a different kind of beauty.

Cross!

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

Gu He was amazed and couldn't help but praise:

"What a strong perception!"

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.

"Using the whole body, it is really not easy to realize such an exquisite power-generating technique from a small chopping wood. If you can practice martial arts, this kid..."

Gu Sheng thought in his heart, and suddenly asked:
"Are you fourteen this year?"

Gu Sheng respectfully replied:

"After this winter, it will be fifteen."

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

"Fifteen is good, the boys in the village can go to Gu Jingang to teach martial arts together when they reach fifteen, do you know?"

"know."

"Work hard. If you have the opportunity, you must try it. In this world, only by practicing martial arts can you have the power to protect yourself and control your destiny. Your understanding is very good, don't waste it."

Gu He's words were a little earnest.

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

With such comprehension, given time, this young man is very likely to be another martial arts expert in the village.

But nonetheless.

Gu He still silently planned in his heart that he could give Gu Sheng more convenience in the future, and if he made friends in advance, he might be able to rely on him in the future.

Gu Sheng nodded his thanks seriously.

To be able to talk to this point, Gu He is considered very good.
Stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun to return home.

Gu Sheng was in a good mood after earning nine coins for the first time.

Put the copper coins of these days together and count them carefully. There are 69 Wen coins in total. If they are replaced with rice bran, they can be about [-] catties.

Look at the rest of the rice tank.

Gu Sheng was thinking about it.

"In the past ten days, the net expenditure was about ten catties of rice bran. Fortunately, starting today, we can achieve a basic balance of income and expenditure."

Gu Sheng was very happy.

After eating rice bran rice and wild vegetable roots, there was still the last piece of bacon that Gu Erniu sent last time, and he ate it together. Gu Sheng felt very satisfied.

"I'll go buy rice tomorrow. Unfortunately, there's no more meat."

Although it was only two small pieces of bacon, it made Gu Sheng addicted to it. The daily consumption of two catties of rice bran in the past ten days was expensive, but the benefits were obvious.

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

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

Various thoughts swirled in Gu Sheng's mind.

He fell asleep on the kang in a daze.

……

night sky.

There is the sound of whining wind blowing, and from time to time, there are all kinds of vague sounds of barking dogs and cicadas coming from a distance, which seem to be ringing in the ears, and seem to be far away.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly in his sleep.

Aww~!

It seemed to hear the howling of wolves.

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

The roar of the wolf seemed to be ringing in my ears!
The sleepy eyes that were originally sleepy woke up in an instant, and Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with astonishment.

"Wolf has entered the village!"

A chill rose from the bottom of his heart. It was obviously a summer night, but fine goose bumps appeared on his arms, and his heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

This is a wolf!

One-on-one, an adult with a weapon will not necessarily lose if he fights fiercely, but wolves live in packs, and if they meet in the wild, they will basically end up being eaten.

"How is it possible? How could the wolves suddenly attack the village?"

Gu Sheng's heart was beating more and more violently. Hearing the howling of wolves getting closer to his ears, he felt fear and doubt at the same time.

Logically speaking, Gujiazhuang has a large population, and the wolves are not low in intelligence, so they would not launch such a suicide attack.

But now is not the time to wonder.

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, took down the hatchet hanging in the room, and walked lightly to the door. Through the crack of the door, he could vaguely see twenty or thirty vigorous figures moving towards various places in the village.

His eyes were extremely serious, and he sighed inwardly:

"Although the wolves scattered for some unknown reason, they are more threatening to ordinary people. When the masters in the village react, I don't know how many people will be killed by the wolves."

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

Gu Sheng just rejoiced that the wild wolf did not find him here.

But immediately, the rustling sound made his scalp tingle, and the arm muscles that had been relaxed just now tensed again!

The sound of the four claws rubbing against the sand and the panting of the wild wolf were very conspicuous in the night sky, Gu Sheng carefully looked towards the crack of the door.

I saw a muscular wild wolf wriggling its nose and jumping over the fence outside the house with one vertical leap.

A wild wolf is eyeing this side!
