Going up the hill to chop wood is hard, physically demanding, and dangerous, and if you are not careful, you can get scratched by thorns in the bushes or injured by branches. It's all inevitable, because once you get to work, no one pays close attention to it.

The fog was so thick that the visibility in the mountains was even lower, and Zhou Xing could only see things and people a few meters away along the way, and as for the things and people in the distance, he couldn't see clearly at all, and was completely shrouded in the early morning fog.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang." A burst of sound came to Zhou Xing's ears, which was the sound made when everyone was chopping firewood, and when the firewood fell.

Zhou Xing followed his grandfather to his mountain, and his grandfather pointed to a few big pine trees and said, "Xiaoxing, the branches of these trees must be chopped off." ”

When Zhou Xing heard this, he looked up and looked at these big pine trees, the branches were horizontal, and the diameter of each one was about forty or fifty centimeters, which was not a big tree at all compared to the trees of the real deep mountain old forest, but Zhou Xing and they are not a mountainous area, and such a big tree is already considered big.

"Xiaoxing, are you going up or grandpa going up?" Xiaoxing's grandfather asked with a smile. Don't look at the old man's age, but his body is still tough, and the work of going up to the tree and cutting wood is still not a problem.

Where will Zhou Xing let his grandfather go up the tree? Although the old man can still go up the tree to cut wood, but after all, he is old, and if something goes wrong, he will regret it.

"Grandpa, I'd better go up!" Zhou Xing took the woodcutter from his grandfather's hand, pinned it to the waistband of his trousers, and then climbed up to the nearest tree. Climbing trees is a job for Zhou Xing. It was a piece of cake. Childhood. Zhou Xing went to the tree to dig out bird eggs, which was a common thing.

Soon, Zhou Xing stepped on a relatively thick branch, and after standing firm, Zhou Xing took out a firewood knife and cut it at the branch above, this cutting branch also requires skill, your firewood knife can't be cut at 90 degrees, you have to cut it at an oblique angle, so that the branch is easy to cut. Of course, the angle of the bevel angle should not be too oblique, about forty-five degrees is good.

You can't cut the branches next to the main trunk, you have to leave a short section for you to climb on and tread on.

The branches of this pine tree became thicker the underneath, so after Zhou Xing cut a few thicker branches, sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his arms began to ache.

Zhou Xing kicked a few breaths. Immediately called the almighty chip to start the martial arts system, at the same time. Borrow the ball of energy in the dantian to eliminate the fatigue on your body.

With the help of the all-round chip and the energy ball, Zhou Xingna was immediately energetic, and the speed of chopping wood was even higher.

It didn't take long for a large pile of branches to be found underneath.

Zhou Xing's grandfather saw Zhou Xing working so hard, for fear that Zhou Xing would be tired, so he shouted on the ground: "Xiaoxing, rest for a while, if you're too tired, rest for a while." ”

Zhou Xing smiled, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said, "Grandpa, I'm not tired." After speaking, Zhou Xing waved the woodcutter in his hand and chopped the branches above.

Soon, all the branches of a pine tree were taken care of by Zhou Xing, leaving only the tiny branches at the top.

Zhou Xing's grandfather laughed happily when he saw his grandson finish cutting the branches of a tree so quickly, and as soon as Zhou Xing jumped down, his grandfather hurriedly put down the firewood knife in his hand, walked to Zhou Xing's side, and said, "Tired, take a rest." ”

"Not tired, grandpa." Zhou Xing said with a smile, Zhou Xing is telling the truth, if it weren't for the help of the energy ball and the all-round chip in the dantian, just by virtue of Zhou Xing's ability to cut down the branches of a pine tree so quickly just now, then Zhou Xing's arm holding the knife and chopping wood would definitely be sore and swollen, and he would not be able to exert his strength.

After sitting with his grandfather for a while, Zhou Xing climbed the second pine tree again, and this time, Zhou Xing's speed was also very fast, and it didn't take him an hour to cut down the branches that should have been cut off on this pine tree.

Chopping wood is not only a tiring job, but also a dirty job, just like now, although Zhou Xing is not tired with the help of the all-round chip and the energy ball, he has those dirty things on the branches of the pine tree all over his body.

After cutting the branches of the second pine tree, the grandfather told Zhou Xing not to cut it, and after resting for a while, the grandfather and grandson went home for dinner.

When they returned home, grandma and Chu Yuxin had already prepared the meal, and they were waiting for Zhou Xing and grandpa to come back to eat.

After eating, grandma also had to go up the mountain to help, and Chu Yuxin naturally volunteered to go up the mountain to help. Grandparents think it's boring to let Chu Yuxin stay at home alone, so it's better to go to the mountains to play together.

After breakfast, the fog gradually cleared, but, depending on the situation, if the sun wanted to break through the clouds, it would be at least about eleven o'clock in the morning.

After arriving in the mountains, the grandparents insisted that Chu Yuxin stand aside, for fear that these branches or thorns would hurt Chu Yuxin. Chu Yuxin had no choice but to stand aside and watch Zhou Xing and them work.

In the end, Chu Yuxin really couldn't stand other people's work, she watched this situation from the sidelines, and resolutely asked to contribute. Zhou Xing understood what Chu Yuxin meant, seeing that the two old people of her grandparents were working hard, she was a young man standing aside and playing, how could she play with peace of mind.

Zhou Xing also helped Chu Yuxin speak, and in the end, her grandparents agreed to let Chu Yuxin do a little favor.

The cut branches had to be tied up, and then they were picked down the mountain with their shoulders, so the grandparents asked Chu Yuxin to pick up all the cut branches together, so that they could be tied up.

If you survive a day, not to mention people of your grandparents, even those men in their thirties who are in the prime of life will be tired and exhausted when they chop firewood in the mountains for a day.

When night fell, when he returned home, Zhou Xing took a hot bath comfortably, and then the whole family had dinner together, because they were a little tired from chopping wood today, so no one had any intention to watch TV, and after dinner and sat for a while, everyone went back to sleep.

"Are you tired today?" Lying on the bed, Zhou Xing held Chu Yuxin's little hand and asked.

After all, Chu Yuxin was the first person to do this kind of work, so her hands were still scratched by branches, but fortunately, it was only a day or two of scars, and it would be fine soon.

"It's a little tiring, but compared to you and grandparents, my job is much easier." Chu Yuxin said with a smile.

In this way, this life of chopping wood lasted for two days, and on the third day, the cut firewood was picked up at the foot of the mountain, and when the water of the firewood was dry, it was picked back.

Zhou Xing and his grandparents were responsible for picking firewood down the mountain, but Chu Yuxin had never carried the burden, where could he afford to pick up the hundreds of pounds of wet firewood, Chu Yuxin had to follow Zhou Xing and them to the foot of the mountain.

One morning and one morning, I finally picked up the chopped wood to the foot of the mountain. Zhou Xing was afraid that his grandparents would not be too lazy to pick a second time in the future, so he found the big driver who drove a truck in the village and asked him to drive all the chopped firewood back to his home.

After chopping the firewood, it was finally time to rest, on this day, Chu Yuxin suddenly pulled Zhou Xing aside and secretly said to Zhou Xing: "Zhou Xing, last time I accidentally saw a pheasant in the mountains, why don't you accompany me to the mountains to catch pheasants today?" ”

Zhou Xing grew up in his hometown since he was a child, and of course he knew that there were pheasants in the mountains, but Zhou Xing The mountain in their village is not a big mountain, and even if there are pheasants, there are very few pheasants.

Since pheasants are so hard to see, let alone trying to catch them. However, Zhou Xing saw that Chu Yuxin was very interested, and Zhou Xing nodded and agreed.

Zhou Xing thought to himself, the pheasant must not be caught, so accompany Chu Yuxin up the mountain to play.

After talking to his grandparents, Zhou Xing took Chu Yuxin's hand and walked up the mountain.

"Zhou Xing, I saw that pheasant here last time." Chu Yuxin pointed to a bush and said.

"Then let's go find out!" Zhou Xing's enthusiasm to see Chu Yuxin was so high, and he was full of joy, Zhou Xing didn't want to hit her, it was all a day or two, and it was strange that the pheasant would still be here.

Zhou Xing took Chu Yuxin's hand, took a stick in his hand, and slowly walked forward while hitting the bushes in front of him with the stick in his hand.

Suddenly, Zhou Xing heard movement in the bushes, as if something was running away. Could it really be that pheasant still here?

Zhou Xing thought about it, took Chu Yuxin's hand and quickly chased after the place where the sound came from.

"Zhou Xing, look, pheasant, where is it." Chu Yuxin pointed to the front and shouted happily. Zhou Xing had already discovered that a pheasant that was not very big was running quickly in front, flapping its beautiful wings from time to time, with a long tail and colorful hair, which looked extremely beautiful.

If this was on flat ground, Zhou Xing would be able to catch this pheasant in the blink of an eye, but this was in the bushes, and Zhou Xing did not have an advantage in speed at all, and he had to pull Chu Yuxin.

If Zhou Xing was alone, Zhou Xing might still be able to catch up with the pheasant. Putting Chu Yuxin alone in this mountain forest, Zhou Xing was not at ease. There are no people chopping wood here, even if Zhou Xing and a big man stay in the mountains in broad daylight, they are a little scared, not to mention Chu Yuxin, a girl.

Zhou Xing picked up a stone on the ground and wanted to throw it over to knock the pheasant unconscious, so that he could catch the pheasant without much effort.

But it was stopped by Chu Yuxin, "Zhou Xing, don't hit it with a stone, you see how beautiful and cute it is, let's let it go!" ”

Chu Yuxin's heart is really kind, if she were to be another girl, she would like to kill this pheasant and eat a real game meal.

Chu Yuxin said so, Zhou Xing naturally couldn't do it, threw away the stone in his hand, and the pheasant slowly disappeared into the bushes.

"Do you want to catch up and have a look?" Zhou Xing asked.

Chu Yuxin shook her head and said, "Forget it, I've already seen it anyway, that's enough." ”

Chu Yuxin is a good girl who knows how to be content, which can be reflected from this. A good girl is hard to find, and a good girl who knows how to be content is even harder to find.

Zhou Xing held Chu Yuxin tightly in his arms, a good girl like Chu Yuxin who knows how to be content is worthy of every man's life! (To be continued......)
