What does it feel like to kill someone?

Once upon a time, Carpenter Li was afraid of killing, and this was a frightening thing. Killing is to take the life of another person with your own hands. Blood would flow to the ground, knives would get stuck in bones, and those who were dying would cry out again and again in his dreams for him to take his life back.

He fainted in blood, he was afraid of death, and he never thought about anything related to killing.

But now, Carpenter Lee knows.

Killing people is no different from his usual splitting of wood.

It's even harder to split wood, because there's always some wood that's not so regular, and there's tumours and scars in it, which can jam the axe - but flesh and blood are different. The sharp blade of the axe felt almost no resistance as it pierced through the flesh.

As for the bones under the flesh, for this sharp axe, it is only a little hard, a small branch.

"That's how it is, that's how it ......"

Carpenter Li, whose eyes were scarlet, looked at the axe in his hand and smiled maniacally.

"It turns out that I'm just doing carpentry, I'm familiar with this."

As he spoke, Carpenter Li raised his head and looked at the remnants of the grassland Hu people in front of him.

"Hmm...... No, no, rotten wood can't be carved. ”

"Be careful! In his hand is Ah Xuan's axe! ”

The scarlet-eyed steppe beard had already recognized the big axe in Carpenter Li's hand.

"He's crazy! Kill him! Hurry up ......"

The yelling that blurted out was sealed in his throat.

The steppe beard man who was still calling for his companion just now had his entire head cut off, and his limbs had been made a few strange bends by the handle of the axe, and the entire headless corpse was facing the sky on his back, with his feet on the ground in reverse, like a bench.

And Carpenter Li, who completed all this in a moment, even went over to sit down.

"Yes, it's just not very sturdy."

With that, Carpenter Lee swung the handle of his axe and smashed it on the tail vertebrae of the headless corpse.

The broken bones were put together, and they were really much stronger at the moment.

And after completing his first work, Carpenter Li finally raised his head.

"If you don't cut wood, you can't make a tool."

Glancing at the few remaining grassland beard people in front of him, Carpenter Li, who was sitting on the bench of the human corpse, stood up.

"You guys, you have to fix it too."

“……”

Several scarlet-eyed prairie bearded men glanced at each other.

Immediately after that, he fled.

Indeed, as warriors under the command of Su Xiqing, as eagles under the sky, they should not be afraid to fight, nor should they run away—but the premise of all this is that it is at least a battle.

Is what they are facing really a battle?

No, it's not a battle, it's not even a massacre, standing in front of them is something even more weird and incomprehensible.

As it was now, the thing was obviously lame, but it chased after them like the wind, and the big axe rose and fell several times, and cut off the head of a steppe Hu man who had fallen behind, and carved it into a lantern.

The cold wind blowing from behind is so familiar, how can they not recognize this feeling from Mobei, you must know that they all claim to be warriors sharpened by the cold wind of Mobei, and they are good men who can't be killed by frost, snow and cold.

But now, this wind from home has sided with the monster.

Driven by the cold wind, the monster was still walking like a fly even if it was lame, and the door to the outside had been completely sealed by the tomahawk after it only took him up and down.

Carpenter Lee has never done such an easy job.

Benches, tables and chairs, lanterns, oil lamps, and even the wheels of carts, Carpenter Li carefully carved one work after another. The wood, which had taken a little effort to cut, was now surprisingly easy to cut - if anything, it was that there was so much juice from the fresh wood that it not only flowed all over the floor, but even sprayed all over his face.

However, these woods are not without advantages, and the biggest advantage is that they understand his mind. Just after he had finished building several kinds of wood, more wood rushed in through the door—Carpenter Li had thought countless times that he would let his two children do it for him in the future, after all, it was still too expensive to hire helpers, and his income was not very high.

Now, I don't have to wait for the children to grow up, and these sawn logs will come in in a queue by themselves.

"It's a little short, but it's not unusable."

Carpenter Li just thought about it, and he had a rough outline in his mind.

Although the wood itself is not long enough, the wood can be connected by mortise and tenon, and a few pieces of material can be used—just as he also remembered, although his Du brother has a good horse now, but there is still a lack of a stable in the yard, and it is appropriate to clean up these materials now.

So Carpenter Li swung his big axe and in a few strokes cleaned up all the timber that rushed in.

One thing to say, the wood is really good, although it grows a little loose, and the sap is a little too much, but the bark that has been peeled off is strong enough to be used as a roof on the stable.

Carpenter Li even wanted to make a pair of boots out of these barks at one point, after all, I heard that if you go further north, there is a tradition of using tree bark to make shoes in the ice and snow. However, Carpenter Li had only heard of it, but he didn't know what to do about it—not to mention that there was not enough bark at the moment, and the rope drawn out of the wood should not be enough.

He had to find more materials to help his Du brother build the stable.

"Is there anything else......

Thinking like this, Carpenter Li subconsciously looked in the direction of the warehouse.

I saw that in the storeroom, a piece of wood jumped out, and then a flying body jumped up to the courtyard wall, and ran away.

But before the log could go over the wall, a branch had already come out of Carpenter Li's hand, hitting the head of the wood.

"If you have poplar, you can use it alive, anyway, it's to build a horse shed."

Thinking like this, Carpenter Li continued to scan.

There was no more timber running over, which made Carpenter Li, who was originally going to work at ease, a little disappointed, but thinking about it, the timber ran over with his own long legs, where did he come from such a good thing - fortunately, he also knocked down a poplar that was about to run away just now, and there were still some leftover materials in the yard.

Two small and one large, although it is not a good material, but now with these leftovers, the stable can be erected.

"Just fix it a little bit......"

With that, Carpenter Li walked over with an axe.

"Cut off the bifurcation first......"

"Daddy!"

Just as the big axe was about to fall, Carpenter Li suddenly heard a familiar shout.

This made his movements suddenly stagnant.

"Who called me?"

Carpenter Li couldn't help but be a little confused.

It should be the child calling him, he remembered, it was the two children calling him, and the two little cubs were arguing very much...... Oh yes, and his wife, and his wife is also calling him, but where is his wife? And where are his two children?

"Daddy! Let go! Put this thing down! ”

"Boss! Wake up! Wake up! ”

The familiar voice lingered in his ears, and it seemed to be very close, but Carpenter Li couldn't see where his wife and children were—he could only see the scraps in front of him surrounding him, as if he was going to tie himself up to death.

Of course, Carpenter Li can't sit still, he has dealt with wood all his life, how could he be killed by just wood?

Carpenter Lee raised his axe.

But there were traces of water dripping down on him.

It should be the slime of the trees, Carpenter Li thought, this is the case with wood that has not been dried, but compared to the slime, these water traces are clearer—if I had to compare anything, it would be more like human tears.

Wood also sheds tears? Plants and trees will also have love?

Carpenter Li never believed in this, after all, he himself was a carpenter, and believing in some things was purely torture for himself.

However, he remembered his own children.

His two little cubs are almost as tall as these two scraps. As long as it takes a few more years, he will definitely become his good helper, and when the time comes, these two cubs can work a little, and they can also let his wife save more snacks - in order for the family to live a good life, he has already made up his mind, even if he fights for his life......

“…… Wait a minute? ”

Carpenter Li suddenly fell into a trance.

"Spell it up...... Life? When have I ever made such an oath? ”

Carpenter Li vaguely remembered something.

Yes, at the risk of his life, he did so, it was at the most critical moment, at the most terrifying time, in order to be able to save his family and children, he stretched out his hand to something that must not be touched...... Wait, what's that thing you can't touch?

"Dang Chang—"

The old tomahawk fell to the ground, and the crimson in Carpenter Li's eyes gradually faded.

He finally saw his wife and children.

And the ones in the yard, the "works" he just finished.

……

……

……

"So, that's why you lit a fire in the yard?"

Du Chengfeng, who turned over and dismounted, looked at Carpenter Li who was throwing the corpse bench into the fire in front of him, and scratched his head for a while.

He didn't expect that the twenty or so horse exploration rangers could touch Yangjiabao all the way, and what he didn't expect was that these elite rangers under Su Xiqing only harmed a few families, and they were all killed by Carpenter Li, and even made some kind of ...... Opus.

Although he couldn't appreciate these masterpieces very well, he had to admit that these things made by Carpenter Li from the corpses of the prairie people were quite performance art.

"Besides, aren't you fainting blood?"

"I'm not dizzy anymore."

Carpenter Li, who was covered in injuries, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"After all, it's all ...... Hi. It's hard to take out these things, so I can only burn them in the courtyard and come over to help. ”

"Can't you just chop it up and burn it?"

Seeing Carpenter Li's lame and difficult appearance, Du Chengfeng simply went over with a knife and cut the bench.

"Besides, how can these things be burned in the courtyard, I still go and call the Yang family over......

"Forget it."

Carpenter Li waved his hand again and again.

It's not that they don't need it, but they have already called it, and as for the result, it is obvious that the whole village is not too eager to help carry these "basic building materials" - in fact, if it is just a corpse, they will not not help, but Carpenter Li has handled these building materials too well.

Du Chengfeng thought about it and simply asked Carpenter Li to give up this slow incineration method.

After saying hello to Carpenter Li and asking his family to take out all the valuable things in the house, Du Chengfeng lit a fire and burned the courtyard along with the corpses inside.

"As for the new place, live next door to me, and be a neighbor in the future, and just have a care."

This can indeed be regarded as a response, just because Du Chengfeng was already faintly aware of it when he touched the battle axe just now.

To his surprise, this old battle axe, which he originally left for Carpenter Li to use desperately, actually really admitted to Carpenter Li, who was timid and even fainted in blood.

And this also means that in addition to him, the entire Yangjiabao now has a second person who can control the evil spirit of the sword soldiers.

Although this made Du Chengfeng very surprised, it was indeed reasonable. After all, although this Li carpenter has never practiced martial arts and has never fought, his desperate determination to fight for his family is far more determined than any brave and ruthless will.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the old big axe will recognize Carpenter Lee.

Because this time it was not just a warrior, but a husband, a father.

Of course, it is estimated that it is enough to let Carpenter Li fight with Su Xiqing, but against ordinary grassland Hu people, this big axe is more than enough. With Carpenter Li, a well-known neighbor, living next to him, he can sleep more steadily during the day.

What's more, this Li carpenter also brought him something important.

"It's the scimitars of those horse exploration rangers under Su Xiqing......"

From the moment he touched these two dozen scimitars, Du Chengfeng had already realized that these scimitars were completely different from the scimitars in his inventory.

Although it is true that the knife is indeed the same knife, compared to those mortal irons, this newly acquired scimitar can be called a veteran.

Of course, the more important thing is that the owners of these scimitars should have been released from Thistle.

As the saying goes, heaven and earth are all working together.

Not only was Carpenter Li's side safe and sound, but he even had the opportunity to learn more about his enemies after getting these blades.

"Su Xiqing, right?"

When he woke up, Du Chengfeng took advantage of the moonlight to pick up a scimitar.

"Let me see, what have you been up to lately?"

With that, the steppe scimitar was placed on the wet whetstone.
