Chapter 7 Silver
Wood-chopping field.
Hu Yao stuffed the steamed bun into Yushan's hand, and only took one himself.
Yushan held a bag of steamed buns, found a place to squat, buried his head in gnawing, and did not dare to face Hu Yao, let alone make eye contact with Hu Yao.
Hu Yao said to Yushan while taking a small bite of steamed buns: "Idiot, a person's work is to chop five long trees, you can do the work of a few people, I will get you a few people's subsidies, you don't have to get it yourself, I will bring it to you on your behalf, but you can only work from Mao to noon every day, you must rest in the afternoon, you can't work hard, so as not to be tired." ”
After listening, Yushan hurriedly got up, held the steamed bun in his left hand, picked up the axe in his right hand, and started work.
Hu Yao frowned and exclaimed, "Hey, why are you in such a hurry, how much time can it take to eat a few steamed buns?"
As if he hadn't heard, he stepped on a long tree with his left foot, and the axe in his right hand had already begun to chop down.
At the same time, his left hand was not idle, and he kept stuffing steamed buns into his mouth.
With each axe with his right hand, he stepped on the tree with his left foot and rolled it, and in just ten breaths, he split the tree in a circle.
Immediately afterwards, he pressed his axe against the piece of wood that had been split in a circle, secretly exerted force, and with a click, the wood broke off and rolled out.
When he was done, he began to split the second piece of wood without pausing.
With the rhythm of about ten breaths clicking, and soon, a long tree had been broken at the waist.
Then I saw him, with his right foot stepping on a piece of wood and cleverly exerting force, so that the horizontal wood stood upright, and then chopped down with an axe and axe, dividing into a piece, the size of the piece was uniform, and even the direction of falling to the ground was the same, and it looked very neat.
In less than half a burnt of incense, a long tree had been split into piles of standard-sized matches.
Hu Yao was dumbfounded.
I don't know when she started, she was already squatting on the ground, only half of the steamed bun in her hand was eaten, and the other half was always holding it in her hand.
According to this kind of efficiency, wouldn't the mountain be able to cut down at least thirty trees in four hours? He did the work of six people alone!
In this way, the mountain kept splitting, one after another, without interruption in the middle.
He was completely immersed in the process of chopping wood, as if the world was just himself and the wood under his axe.
Hu Yao was immersed in the process of watching the mountain chopping wood, and kept squatting there, like a statue that would not move, in her eyes, it seemed that there was only the boy chopping wood in the world.
The clock passed silently until the end of noon.
Hu Yao finally reacted, ouched, and shouted at Yushan: "Idiot, come and help me, my feet are numb and I can't get up." ”
Yushan was interrupted by her shouting, hurriedly put down the axe, and ran over to help Senior Sister Hu Yao.
After Hu Yao stood up, he hurriedly took a few steps back and pulled away a certain distance.
Hu Yao glanced at him and said, "Idiot, you are in such a hurry to let go and run away, aren't you afraid that I will fall if I can't stand on my feet?"
Yushan sighed, and the little steps moved sideways, giving a shoulder for Senior Sister Hu Yao to support.
Hu Yao laughed angrily at him, and scolded with a smile: "Are you so afraid that your sister will eat your tofu?"
Yushan was silent, anyway, if he didn't speak, he would be scolded at most, so as not to be embarrassed if he said something wrong.
Later, the two counted today's results, and the results were shocking.
"Fifty trees have been chopped! That's the equivalent of ten people's work, my God!"
Senior Sister Hu Yao didn't come back to her senses for a long time, which greatly exceeded the thirty that was expected at the beginning.
"How did you split so fast?"
After thinking about it for a while, Hu Yao had an impression: at about the end of the Chen hour, Yushan also picked up the axe with his left hand, opened the bow left and right, and worked in two prongs, with accuracy, strength, and rhythm, and the two axes in both hands were completely synchronized.
In this way, it is possible to split more tomorrow and break today's record of 50.
After visually inspecting the remaining trees in the field, the senior sister was a little troubled.
There are about 400 trees left in the field, plus those that have been cut today and yesterday, the total number is about 450, that is, three months' life for a person.
But according to the progress of chopping firewood in the mountain, it will not take ten days to finish.
So what should we do next?
After Hu Yao and Yushan finished lunch together, they left quickly.
Today's day is the eleventh, the third day of coming to the Yunmeng Martial Arts Academy, and the second day of starting work in the miscellaneous student area.
The next three days, twelve, thirteen, fourteen.
Hu Yao appeared at the wood-splitting field at the beginning of every day, and left when Yushan began to work, and would come to the wood-splitting field on time at the end of noon every day, and left after having lunch with Yushan.
Every afternoon, Yi'er would come to Yushan's cabin, sometimes for a long time, sometimes not for a long time, but the first thing she did every day was to check Yushan's brother's palm to see if there were any blood blisters.
Strange to say, she never saw blood blisters on Brother Yushan's palms again.
Of course, this is naturally a good thing, and Brother Yushan doesn't have to suffer anymore.
March 15.
Hu Yao still came and left at the beginning of Mao, but he appeared again.
Not long after she arrived, the last tree on the field was chopped by Yushan, and in the next few months, there will be no firewood to chop in the wood-splitting field.
Since he is following up on the progress every day, Hu Yao doesn't feel strange about this result, but he really can't understand how the ability to control the mountain and chop firewood is so strong?
Today, she did not wait to have lunch with Yushan, and when she left, she gave Yushan three taels of silver, which is equivalent to a subsidy for three months of work for one person, in other words, a subsidy for splitting four hundred and fifty trees into matches.
The unprecedented thing of earning three taels of silver in just six days made Yushan very excited, and he began to feel that life was rushing.
After lunch, Yushan returned to the cabin, there was one more thing he had to face today, but he was much more confident than before.
On the first day of the first month of March, there was no money to repay the debt, according to the Qian Zhuang Ma Zai, you have been continuously overdue, after the Qian Zhuang Ma Tsai insulted a pass, the principal, interest, liquidated damages, late fees and so on added together, recalculated once, re-set the installment repayment plan, let Yushan repay in 20 installments, the first period is still the first day of the first month of March, but the accommodation Yushan in March 15 when the second installment is repaid together with the first installment of the money, the twentieth period at the end of December 15 this year, a total of 100 taels of silver, each period of five taels of silver.
In this way, Yushan has to pay back ten taels of silver on March 15, that is, today.
So, what if the mountain can't pay back ten taels of silver?
On this point, Qian Zhuang Ma Tsai is still "humane", and the amount repaid is no longer calculated for interest and liquidated damages, but the amount that has not been repaid is embarrassing, how to calculate and how to calculate, which will cause the total amount of debt to increase on the basis of one hundred taels of silver.
Then why does Qian Zhuang Ma Tsai think that this is a kind of "humanization"? According to Qian Zhuang Ma Tsai's statement: If you can't repay the loan in full according to the installment amount, the interest and liquidated damages will be calculated in full -- there are a lot of money banks in this kind of practice, and you kid is fortunate to have met us.
Now Yushan only has three taels of silver in his hand, and he will definitely not be able to repay the ten taels of silver added to the first and second phases in full.
But for Yushan, this is already a good result that I never dreamed of.
So having three taels of silver in his hand is indeed a kind of confidence.
Yushan sat in the cabin and waited quietly, knowing in his heart that Qian Zhuang Ma Tsai would inevitably entrust someone to collect the money today.
At some point, when he heard some noise outside the house, Yushan went to open the door.
"Idiot, how did you know I was coming?"
As soon as Yushan opened the door, she was still on the road thirty zhang away, and when she saw Yushan, she trotted all the way over, and asked very suspiciously.
In fact, before Yushan got up to open the door, he sensed that she was coming, and at that time, it was estimated that she was still dozens of feet away.
It's so unbelievable, how can it be explained clearly.
So Yushan replied: "Senior Sister Fox Demon, I was just right, I was going to open the door to breathe, but I didn't expect you to come." ”
Hu Yao didn't ask more, this explanation is completely reasonable.
After entering the house, Hu Yao sat down, changed the subject and said, "Idiot, what do you say I came to you now?"
Yushan felt that it should be his turn to say this sentence, it should be like this: "Senior Sister Fox Demon, what is the matter with you coming to me now?"
Of course, in front of this sister, how dare Yushan protest, so he disturbed the back of his head and replied: "Senior Sister Hu Yao, I can't guess." ”
Hu Yao said angrily: "Why didn't you think about it first this time? Last time, didn't you think about what I would ask after eating and how you would answer after eating, aren't you very clever!"
Yushan smirked and adhered to the policy of talking less and doing more.
"Okay, don't play dumb riddles with nerds, it's not fun. ”
After saying a final word, Hu Yao next told Yushan about the work he would do tomorrow and asked him if he could do it.
Yushan nodded vigorously, he can do it, as long as there is work to do.
Before leaving, Hu Yao turned around as soon as he stepped out of the door, raised his hand and threw a money bag to Yushan, and said with a smile: "There are ten taels of silver in it, and if it is lent to you, no interest will be charged, but the principal must be repaid, and you will pay it back when you have money, and you are not allowed to repay the debt!"
Yushan reached out to catch the money bag, and immediately stepped forward, ready to chase it back.
"Hmph!" Hu Yao turned his head suddenly, with a fierce face, waved his hand and slapped the air twice, and scolded: "Idiot, if you are not afraid of being beaten, then you can speak out! If you are not afraid of being beaten flat, then you will come out!"
Yushan was taken aback, and immediately stopped his steps in shock, not daring to say a word.
It is true that she was taken aback, because Hu Yao's movements were too sudden, but Yushan was not afraid of being beaten by her, what she was really afraid of was that she could see that she would definitely be angry, really angry.
Yushan stood at the door in a daze, watching Senior Sister Hu Yao gradually walk away, her eyes were already blurred, and she cried silently.
