Before heading to the lumber yard, Hakuaki followed Ichiro Hirano back to his village.

His village was no different from the other villages Bai Ming had seen in the world, the old houses exuded an atmosphere of poverty and backwardness, which was very different from the scene after the industrial transformation began to be revealed in the town.

The two stopped in front of a low bungalow under the light rain and fog on the muddy muddy road, drizzling like silk.

"Excuse me."

Entering the house through the door with his head down, the light in the room was dim, and Bai Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, gradually adjusting to the light in the room.

Messy, cramped, and gloomy were the first impressions of Shiraaki, the first time he came to Ichiro Hirano's house and the first time he knew about the situation in his house.

It would not be too difficult to support himself with his income and live well, but in addition to supporting his mother, he and his wife also raised three children.

Once inside, Hirano greeted him warmly to sit down, while his wife brought him tea and a small stack of snacks.

"Thank you for taking care of Ichiro before, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." Yumiko Hirasawa said with a sincere bow.

"Where, bother, it's me who is more taken care of by Brother Pingze."

Bai Ming's expression was slightly embarrassed, due to his own personality, he was not very suitable for this kind of human interaction. And although the current verbal communication is basically fine, the unfamiliarity with common sense and etiquette also makes him worry that he has no intention of doing something polite.

Fortunately, Ichiro Hirasawa saw his embarrassment, and after saying a few more words, he pulled his wife back to the inner room and told him that he was going to work in the lumber yard for half a month.

Bai Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he noticed that in the corner of the room, two older children were looking curiously at his sudden strange visitor with dark eyes.

I'm not good at dealing with children!

Let's pretend you can't see it. After all, children are very troublesome creatures.

He sat down, picked up his teacup, and drank it.

It's just that things often don't work according to people's subjective thoughts, but the two children got closer.

"Do you want this?" Bai Ming couldn't pretend to be blind anymore, he met two pairs of demanding eyes, squinted, seemed to realize something, and pointed to the stack of thick snacks.

The two of them followed his fingers to look at the stack of thick snacks and nodded directly.

"It's a child." Bai Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and took a few pieces of the stack of coarse dim sum and distributed them to the two, and the two immediately hid back to the side and ate happily, their cheeks bulging a bit like squirrels.

"You two." When Bai Ming was a little happy and sent the two little ghosts away so easily, a girl about seven or eight years old walked out of the back room and saw the two younger brothers eating snacks for entertaining guests, and Hirasawa Yu scolded angrily.

"My sister is a stupid."

The two children didn't shoot her, stuck out their tongues at her, and ran out of the house with a puff of smoke.

"It's Uncle Bai, I'm the eldest daughter of the Pingze family, I'm sorry, my two younger brothers are too rude." Hirasawa Yu immediately clenched his fists angrily, wanting to catch up and teach the two of them a lesson, but when he saw Bai Ming standing on the side, his face was flat, and he bowed to Bai Ming with a serious expression and apologized.

"That, I took the initiative to give it to them, and it has nothing to do with them." Bai Ming was a little embarrassed, but he still explained for the two little ghosts just now.

"I know that Uncle Bai is kind, but I know that it must be the two of them who have made a faux pas." Yu Hirasawa said affirmatively. "As an important guest of the Pingze family, this is too rude, please wait a moment, I will press them over to apologize to you."

Bai Ming opened his mouth to say something, but the little girl who seemed to have a rather serious personality left the house, and a shout of "don't run" came from outside.

He shook his head and sat back down to drink his tea.

In the end, the two four or five-year-old boys were still caught by their sister and honestly apologized to Bai Ming, who could only nod awkwardly.

After staying for nearly two hours and having another lunch with warm hospitality, Ichiro Hirasawa took the brown rice balls of wild vegetables that his wife had just prepared for him and Bai Ming on the road.

The lumber yard was a bit far away, and the two walked on their legs all the way, and it took more than an hour to reach the lumber yard.

The lumberyard is the property of the town's merchant Taihei Yoshinosuke, the scale is not large, the entire lumberyard originally only six people worked here for a long time, but this time there is a sudden business that urgently needs a large amount of wood, so a few extra people will be recruited to work.

There was nothing to say, after meeting the master of the lumberyard, the two of them rested a little, and then they were stuffed with an axe and went to work.

For the rain country with abundant rainfall, it seems that there will never be a shortage of good-looking wood, and according to the guidance, he found a tree, and Bai Ming immediately swung his axe and cut it down.

Boom!

A crisp chiseling sound came out, Bai Ming cut down a tree for the first time, he had no experience, and he cut a few times in one breath, and the bark broke a small opening, revealing the white body of the tree, and a little juice flowed out of the gap.

Bai Ming let go of the handle of the axe, this kind of tree that has rained has a strong rebound force when the axe looks down, and he has cut it hard a few times in succession, and he has been shocked by the rebound a few times.

He looked left and right, and the people around him were also concentrating on cutting down trees, no one paid attention to him, and he also extinguished the idea of asking for advice, and continued to swing his axe and chop.

He is not blind to chopping, in fact, as long as he does anything more times, he can always sum up some experience.

Bai Ming's Vajra Qi had already cultivated almost for the first time, and he was about to break through the second layer, and his own strength had obviously increased by nearly double compared to before.

Relying on this strength, he swung the heavy axe lightly like plastic, relying on the number of times to summarize the experience, and he was a little confused at the beginning.

But then he thought of the application skills of the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife, although he practiced the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife skillfully, and the move skills were also well understood, but after all, there was no actual combat, only on paper.

But now the tree is cut but the force rebound, he immediately remembered some of the five tiger broken door knife in some of the joint skills, the brain hole, immediately tried to apply it when cutting the tree, although it is a knife technique, but the principle is basically the same, a few times he can be a good cut when the tree when the force of the shock to unload, to avoid the body to be shocked numb.

After mastering the skill of unloading, Bai Ming began to practice the skills of accumulation, explosion, and strength again, and the tree that could bounce off the strength became a good target at the moment.
