After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 71 Fear of Nature

There are five saws and five axes in total. I chose the things by myself at the beginning. Small trees use axes faster, but big trees need to use saws to be efficient. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on what you are familiar with.

But overall, a saw is better than an axe.

Shunzi was quick and grabbed the saw, but Qin Yao was a little slower, leaving only the axe.

Ding Wu was mainly in charge of overseeing the work, walking back and forth in the woods so that no one would take the opportunity to be lazy.

Before going up the mountain, the housekeeper said that the number of logging will be counted, the top three will be rewarded, and if the bottom three are too much below the average, wages will be deducted.

Therefore, as soon as they arrived at the destination, the big guys picked up the tools in their hands and started immediately, wanting to reward money, but also worried that they would be deducted if they fell too far behind.

Qin Yao thought to herself, the ancients were smarter than each other, and it was not their turn to take advantage of the slightest loss.

Sensing Shunzi's begging gaze for help, Qin Yao only gave him a gesture to move, then carried the axe, selected a medium-sized fir tree, and swung the axe.

She has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running. She has seen logging many times, but this time she did it herself, so it is like chopping firewood, but the firewood in front of her is bigger than ordinary firewood, and there is nothing in essence different.

Shunzi had no choice but to pretend to saw, but secretly watched how the other lumberjacks worked, copying the gourd and sawing half of the tree in one morning, but there was no crane tail.

The fastest one was a sweaty bearded man who picked up a big tree saw with a saw. Before Ding Wu shouted for dinner, he just finished sawing a tree, kicked it with his big foot, and rolled quickly on the ground, leaving an undershirt in the original place. On the ground, there was a loud bang, and the big tree fell down.

Qin Yao saw it for real. The tree fell from the opposite direction of the bearded man, but when it fell, it changed direction and fell towards the person.

In the end, the bearded man threw his undershirt to the ground and quickly rolled it to the opposite direction. The tree successfully fell down on the undershirt.

Ding Wu didn't understand what was going on even after thinking about it, so he stepped forward and pointed to the undershirt and asked curiously:
"Why did you leave your clothes behind when you ran away?"

Big Beard's nickname is Big Beard, he dusted off his undershirt and put it back on, explaining:

"A tree has a spirit. When it falls down, it will chase people. Only by leaving something similar to my breath can it be fooled."

Ding Wu was surprised, "Really or not?"

The bearded man grinned and told him to try it himself.

Ding Wu glanced at the big tree thicker than his thigh on the ground, waved his hands again and again, "I'll forget it."

At the same time, he summoned Qin Yao's people and told them to be careful before the tree fell.

Qin Yao was holding a bowl of vegetable soup and two thick noodle buns given to her by the servants of the Ding family, and an interesting idea suddenly came to her mind - Liushu.

After that, she really did this, just to test the bearded man's rhetoric.

Strange to say, when she deliberately wanted to experiment, the tree fell straight down in the direction she kicked.

When she gave up the experiment, she was almost hit by a tree that fell backwards.

That is to say, Qin Yao's reaction speed is fast, otherwise she will definitely be injured if she loses focus.

Moreover, they cut wood separately, one person in one place, so as not to affect other people or accidentally injure their companions. Once they are hit, it is too late to call for help.

"So, this is Schrödinger's tree spirit?" Qin Yao muttered with lingering fear, deciding that it is better to have awe of nature.

Before five o'clock, everyone stopped cutting wood, used axes to cut off excess branches, and trimmed the main trunk.

Arrive at five o'clock, and finish work on time.

Qin Yao has two records in logging today.

Shunzi just learned how to cut wood today, and in the afternoon she finally sawed down a tree, using the bearded method, and was not injured.

The beards are the most, one in the morning and two in the afternoon, a total of three.

The least one is one. Shunzi and Qin Yao are in the safe position, and today's ten-cent wages are saved.

Whether you will be deducted in the future depends on your performance afterwards.

Physical work such as logging consumes a lot of energy. Qin Yao didn't have enough to eat the meal for one person at noon. Run down the mountain and drink the spring water flowing down from the mountain.

This back and forth took a lot of time. Ding Wu looked at the two of them a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything on the first day.

It's just that when I got off work, I specifically told: "Remember to bring a water bottle tomorrow."

"Hey, sure." Shunzi replied with a smile.

Qin Yao touched her growling stomach and just wanted to run home to make dinner immediately.

Xiahe Village is very close, and Qin Yao couldn't wait for Shunzi's slow steps, so she said to Shunzi, "My house is far away, and I can't see the road when it gets dark, so I'll take a step first."

Just after Shunzi said "Huh?", Qin Yao was already striding forward, giving him no chance to stay.

Qin Yao suddenly turned around and added: "By the way, you don't have to wait for me tomorrow, we'll see you in Dingfu."

After saying this, the speed was at full speed, leaving Shunzi far behind.

Alone, there was no need to worry about his companions. Qin Yao walked to Liujia Village in more than two hours and entered the house with the last ray of sunset on the horizon.

The four children immediately surrounded her, Qin Yao forced a smile, and sat in the main room, just thinking about cooking.

Liu Ji brought half a pot of porridge warmed on the stove and put it in front of her, and put another bowl of steaming melon and vegetables in sauce.

Qin Yao poured the vegetables into the porridge pot, stirred them, and snorted a big mouthful.

The five father and son surrounded her, and they were surprised to see her eating speed like a starved ghost reincarnated.

"Aniang, aren't you full at noon?" San Lang asked concerned.

Qin Yao nodded indiscriminately, and didn't feel her clamoring stomach calm down until she finished half the pot of porridge.

Putting down the empty pot with a "bang", Qin Yao wiped her mouth, "Finally alive!"

"What kind of work are you doing? You're so hungry? Wai Ding's family won't even give you a bite of food?"

Liu Ji went to the sink to wash the pot while taking care of him in the main room. "If it's so hard, I'll go instead. My lady, it would be nice for you to rest at home."

"No need!" Qin Yao raised her hand in a gesture of 'you stop', "It's just that I didn't prepare enough for the first day today, and it will be better tomorrow."

"You prepare a kettle for me, fill it with cold boiled water, and I will drink it with me."

Liu Ji responded with an oh, and after washing the pot, he came to the main room and squatted in front of her, asking curiously, "My lady, what do you do? How do you get paid?"

Qin Yao replied briefly: "Two meals a day plus ten cents wages, logging work."

Liu Ji's expectant eyes immediately retracted when he heard the word "logging", and with an oh, he got up and came behind her to squeeze her shoulders.

"My dear, thank you for your hard work. Let me relax you."

Qin Yao responded with a hum, the massage force was moderate, and the technique was quite good.

But when had Liu Laosan ever been so diligent and considerate?
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
