Thousands of miles of ice in the north, thousands of miles of snow, white and boundless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn the Northern Liang Kingdom, where the mountains are mangless, birds and beasts are rare at this time, and most of the rich families have been hiding at home at this time, baking charcoal fires to keep warm. However, at the foot of the mountain in the east of Qingzhu County, a group of teenagers were dressed in black single clothes at this time, waving the long knives in their hands over and over again in the severe cold.

A middle-aged martial artist on the high platform looked at the disciples of the school field with eagle-like sharp eyes.

Lu Xiaotian was wearing a gray fur jacket and a firewood knife stuck in his belt, and looked enviously at the disciples of the Thunder Dao Sect who were practicing swordsmanship on the school ground.

"If you don't go quickly, you won't have dinner if you don't cut enough firewood today!"

A middle-aged man in the back, who was also wearing a gray thick jacket, scolded with a majestic face.

"What do you say, try it again!" At this time, a young man who was taller than Lu Xiaotian by more than half a head strode towards the gate of the outer hall, and when he heard the words of the middle-aged man, he said coldly.

"Brother Shi!"

Lu Xiaotian's face was overjoyed when he heard the voice, the person who came was Shi Qingshan, and he was also from Huyang Village, but Shi Qingshan was the pride of Huyang Village, and he was selected as an outer disciple by the Thunder Dao Sect at a young age, and because of his outstanding talent, he became an inner disciple in less than a year.

In Huyang Village before, he had the best relationship with Shi Qingshan. Last year, a drought hit the mountain village, and a younger brother and a younger sister were added to the family, and the only land could not support so many people. Shi Qingshan took him to the Thunder Dao Gate, but because he had no talent for martial arts, he became a handyman in the Lei Dao Gate, doing some chores such as carrying water to cook rice and chopping wood in the door. Although it is hard, it is good to survive in this poor and troubled world.

"It turned out to be the senior brother of the inner gate, the small, the little one was rude, I don't know that Xiao Tian is an acquaintance of this senior brother, if you offend, please forgive me for the offense!" Not to mention the inner disciple, even him, is just a miscellaneous steward, not for a long time, even the upper disciple of the outer door, he can't afford to offend.

"Brother Shi, Steward Zhao is also worried that I can't cut enough firewood within the specified time, and there is no other malice, so Brother Shi shouldn't blame him. ”

Lu Xiaotian excused Steward Zhao, he had stayed in the miscellaneous room for so long, although he didn't have any martial arts, but he was much more skilled than Shi Qingshan in terms of human affairs, Shi Qingshan didn't care if he offended Steward Zhao, but he would have to do things for a long time in the hands of Steward Zhao in the future. If you change the manager of Zhao, you may not have a more tricky and mean manager in the future, and it will be a difficult time.

"Well, since Xiaotian intercedes for you, forget it today, and next time I will see you bullying Xiaotian, you will feel better. Don't get out of here. Shi Qingshan glared at Steward Zhao with a fierce expression.

"Yes, yes, the little ones don't dare anymore. Steward Zhao nodded again and again, embarrassed, and left as if he had fled.

"The torture hall is too tightly controlled, I practiced the Wind Splitting Knife Technique to the third layer this time, and the master only let me out to rest for two days, so I didn't have time to see you until now. After driving away Steward Zhao, Shi Qingshan said to Lu Xiaotian apologetically.

"Great, the more powerful you are, Brother Shi, the more no one will dare to bully me over there in the miscellaneous room. Lu Xiaotian said happily.

"No, whoever dares to bully Xiao Tian, I will definitely beat him to his knees and beg for mercy. Shi Qingshan said arrogantly.

As the two were talking, a pair of young men who were also wearing white suits and another girl with a particularly beautiful appearance waved to Shi Qingshan, who was standing not far in front, "Senior Brother Shi, why are you still staying there, hurry up, we are going to the county seat." ”

Lu Xiaotian saw that someone was waiting for Shi Qingshan, so he said, "Brother Shi, someone is waiting for you in front, you go and get busy first, I'm going to chop wood, and I have to complete the task today." ”

"I happen to be free today, I'll help you chop wood. Shi Qingshan shook his head.

"No need, I have to go every day, and it won't take long, Brother Shi, you finally have a two-day rest, don't spend it on trivial things like chopping wood. Lu Xiaotian pushed Shi Qingshan Dao, but Shi Qingshan had practiced martial arts for several years and was physically strong, but it was not something he could push.

"Okay, then I'll go out first and bring you something to eat. Shi Qingshan is also a little moved, after all, he is a teenager, he usually practices martial arts hard, and he has leisure at this time, and he also wants to go to the lively county town.

"Okay, then thank you Brother Shi. ”

Lu Xiaotian waved his hand, turned around and walked in the direction of the back mountain with a deep foot and a shallow foot on the snow. Turning around, watching Shi Qingshan and the other two junior brothers and sisters walking away with a smile and a smile, Lu Xiaotian, who originally had a smile on his face, suddenly felt lonely for a while. This is the difference between a warrior and a miscellaneous servant, who are in two different worlds entirely.

But it may also be fate, he has no talent for martial arts, and no matter how hard he works, he is still just a handyman. I'm still thinking about how to chop more firewood and go back to the errand.

There are still a few days to send silver, thinking about the two silver beans he saved, he can't help but have a smile on his face, every once in a while, he will send some silver money back to his family, but he also saved some, and when the money is enough, he will go to the city middle school to make a living. Whether it's a carpenter's job or a blacksmith, although the Thunder Dao Gate is good, the miscellaneous servant will always be just a subordinate, even if he can't become a martial artist, he doesn't want to be a subordinate who looks at people's faces forever.

Carrying the two silver beans in his arms is like carrying his dreams. He felt that the snow that was usually difficult to walk on was not so difficult to walk. The mountain behind the sect is a reckless jungle, and the undulating mountains have no edge in sight.

Lu Xiaotian walked into the mountains and forests, but he didn't cut firewood for the first time, but took out a mended fishing net from a hidden stone cave, spread it out between several trees, and then took out a bag of grain from his arms and threw it on the snow under the fishing net.

After clapping his hands, he took out his firewood knife with satisfaction, walked a distance, found a somewhat withered tree pole in the mountain forest full of trees, and slashed it with his knife.

Card!

Card!

The sharp firewood knife slashed at the not too thick tree pole one after another, and the snow on the tree fell from time to time, and Lu Xiaotian knocked off the snow slag on his body from time to time, and then swung the knife again.

After more than 200 slashes, the trunk of the tree, which was not too thick, crashed to the ground, splashing the snow on his face.

Under such severe cold, a trace of heat rose from his body after repeatedly swinging the knife. Nearly two hours later, Lu Xiaotian put the chopped firewood into the back basket and loaded it. I guess this will be able to check the traps that have been arranged.

During this time, he can continue to help his family, and he can also save some money, in addition to saving money at ordinary times, most of them also rely on catching some wild things from the mountains, although they can't fight big beasts, but some pheasants and are enough for him to be happy for a while.

Cuckoo.....

Hearing the cries and fluttering sounds of pheasants from afar, Lu Xiaotian was overjoyed, and there was more than one movement when he heard it, it seemed that today was really a bumper harvest. Lu Xiaotian, who heard the movement, had extra motivation, and his steps were a little brisker than usual.

However, a low roar made Lu Xiaotian, who was moving quickly, suddenly stand up with hairs all over his body.

Lu Xiaotian clenched the handle of the head firewood knife with both hands, his eyes searched every gap between the trees, and at the same time leaned his back against the trunk of a large tree.

Soon, a young wolf the size of a calf slowly walked out of the woods, its fierce eyes flashing with a pair of sharp canine teeth. roared and approached Lu Xiaotian step by step.

With the appearance of the green wolf, Lu Xiaotian's joy of catching a pheasant disappeared, and was replaced by only nervousness and fear from the heart. Even an old hunter like his father would be very dangerous to encounter such a giant wolf in the mountains, and he is now only a teenager in his early tens.

Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but be annoyed that he didn't let Shi Qingshan come over just now, if there was Brother Shi, a martial artist who had already started, and when he met this green wolf, he would have the strength to fight. Now he was only brandishing a firewood knife and screaming to intimidate the lone wolf in front of him.

No, it's not a lone wolf, on the right side of the jungle, there was a slightly smaller green wolf, Lu Xiaotian felt a burst of despair in his heart, just one, he was already unable to escape, and now there is a second one, and it is even more dead!
