Chapter 161 Cutting down trees
The reason why it took Sheng Yawei half a day to walk around the backyard was because she was very patient to identify each plant.
After identifying it, she was a little grateful that she didn't directly select the thinnest trees because she missed them and didn't want them to be exterminated on Mistri, but instead set her sights on the trees with a second plant, otherwise she wouldn't have found exactly ten trees with a second plant.
Ma Jin's mouth is talking about ten trees of any kind, but since there are exactly ten trees with a second tree, it is certainly not a simple coincidence, maybe this is also a test for her - not only to test her patience, eyesight, but also to test whether she is as sincere as she showed before, without the heart of tricks, of course, there may be other deep meanings, but Sheng Yawei did not expect it for the time being.
Sheng Yawei believed that if she just cut down ten trees at random, the two old men would definitely keep their promise and give her what she asked for as long as they completed three tasks, but the image of her would definitely be lowered, and it was not necessary that the subsequent tasks would give her a little stumbling.
'It's so dangerous!' Sheng Yawei was a little glad and a little depressed - the task items related to the rebels and returning home were really not easy to obtain.
Sheng Yawei was still lucky before, after all, this time there were no monsters that were far beyond her level (refer to the Castle Wraith, Sigh Land Skeleton), or very difficult (refer to the Secret Realm Golem), but now it seems that which one is more difficult than the other! Don't forget that this is still the first mission, it's so tricky, and the last two don't know what will happen.
Sheng Yawei resigned himself to walking in front of a locust tree, which was 5 meters high and 40 centimeters in diameter. Compared to the oak trees in Wanghai Village, it is very low, but compared to the plants in the backyard, it is a "big tree".
Sheng Yawei picked and chose through the storage space, and finally chose a heroic knife.
After weighing it, Sheng Yawei grasped the handle with both hands and slashed at the root of the locust tree.
And thenβ
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Sheng Yawei's mouth twitched and looked at his hand, and then at the locust tree in front of him. The force of the shock shook her tiger's mouth red, but there was not even a mark left on the locust tree.
Sheng Yawei deeply felt that his previous psychological preparation was not sufficient-this is the rhythm of cutting down a tree even if the blade is curled!
Even if Sheng Yawei is not too slow to cut, even if Sheng Yawei is both a local tyrant and a forger. But a hero-level knife is not a cabbage! But she won't throw ten knives in her storage bracelet to fight!
Sheng Yawei remembered Marceau's previous reminder: the axe at the foot of the wall.
Sheng Yawei was overjoyed, threw the knife back into the storage space, and returned to the front of the hut.
"That's a shabby look. Sheng Yawei complained. One wall picked up the axe at the foot of the wall.
I saw that the blade of the axe was already rusty. There is no hint of liman yet. The back and handle of the axe are covered with a layer of black ash, and no one has touched it for many years!
Sheng Yawei was a little disgusted with the appearance of the axe. But she also believes that Marceau will not remind her for no reason, and she is still looking forward to the effect of its use, of course, she is also ready for a moment of empty joy - it is a big deal to spend a few more days forging a few special axes, and her own iron forging has been taught by Pig, and she will be stumped by this little problem?
After cleaning up the tattered axe, Sheng Yawei carried it and continued to chop trees.
Unexpectedly, with the same force, this axe, which was obviously "in disrepair", left a white mark on the locust tree, and Sheng Yawei was very relieved.
Dozens of chops were chopped, and there was finally a small gap in the locust tree, Sheng Yawei looked at the axe blade intently, and there was no sign of rolling.
Sheng Yawei raised an eyebrow.
'Look away, the material should not be fine iron. β
Sheng Yawei didn't think that his vision had declined, there was clearly a trick on this axe that she couldn't detect or crack.
Sheng Yawei suppressed the desire to disassemble and study it, rested the axe on the side of the tree, and shook off his hand, which was a little sore due to excessive force.
After the break, Sheng Yawei slowed down the frequency of the chop, and the force was also loosened by two points, and he began to use more skill.
The sound with a special rhythm of "Bang, Bang, Bang Ka" did not stop until dusk, because Sheng Yawei was already attracted by the scenery in front of him at this time, and couldn't help but stop the movements in his hand.
At sunset, the clouds in the sky were dyed rose-colored, and the afterglow fell on the grass and trees in the courtyard, as if they were clothed in a champagne-colored gown, and like fireworks that ignited their lives.
Sheng Yawei knew that this was not her illusion, every grass and tree in the courtyard stretched out their leaves, and the fragrance of fruits, flowers, and plants grew stronger as the sun set, intertwining into a strange but not offensive fragrance.
If the outside world gives people a glorious ending at dusk, then this courtyard gives Sheng Yawei a sense of vitality at dusk.
Sheng Yawei seemed to feel the excitement and cheers of each plant, as if he was also feeling the magnificence of life with their breath and breath.
When the last rays of golden light disappeared from the sky, Sheng Yawei let out a long sigh of relief.
Squinting his eyes, Sheng Yawei began to continue the movements in his hands again, and in the sound of "bangbang", Sheng Yawei's thoughts diverged.
This time of twilight seems to have a special meaning for Wanghai, for example, the barrier of Wanghai Village is open to outsiders at dusk, and at dusk, the plants in the courtyard seem to usher in a new life. And somehow?
Perhaps, not only at dusk, didn't the zealous coachman say that at dawn, the outsiders would be kicked out of the village by the two old men. Ming'er can get up early to verify!
The two old men allowed her and Heyman to stay in Wanghai, and I don't know if it was because they got the permission to enter the village at a time when they had to meet the devil, or because of Fuya's relationship?
"Click, click!", Sheng Yawei's body moved, and he caught the locust tree that fell crooked due to detachment from the root system with one hand.
"One. It's finally done!" Sheng Yawei was a little excited at first.
But as soon as she thought that there were still 9 trees waiting for her, Sheng Yawei's eyebrows were furrowed, this locust tree was the thinnest tree she had picked, and besides, she not only had to cut down ten trees, she also had to split them into equal sized firewood.
Ma Jin's purpose was definitely not to make her repeat mechanical movements for more than ten days, she must have overlooked something.
Sheng Yawei pondered as he dragged the locust tree to the open space next to the hut and set it up.
Approaching the hut and looking at the dim light from the window, Sheng Yawei shook his head, and a sense of warmth rose in his heart, which reminded Sheng Yawei of the time when she was on Earth, even if her sisters returned late, her mother would leave them a lamp.
After a pause, Sheng Yawei walked into the hut, the two old men and Heyman were no longer there, Sheng Yawei looked at the burning fireplace, and the "K" still on the fireplace, and left the residence of Makin and Marceau with a smile. (To be continued......)
