Chapter 16: Chopping Bamboo

With the continuous supply of Bigu Pill and Domineering Body Forging Pill, Huang Quan felt that it was not so uncomfortable to carry water to water the ground, but when they watered all the vegetable gardens, they were also tired and their whole bodies fell apart.

By the time they returned to their rooms at the foot of the mountain to rest, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and the two of them were motionless in bed.

"Hmm-it's quite effective to carry water, but it would be too boring to carry water every day, so you have to change your tricks to toss them. Let's start cutting bamboo tomorrow. ”

Not long after they lay down, Xu Bingwei flashed in, talking to himself, and disappeared again after speaking.

"Ah~"

A heart-rending scream pierced a remote corner of the courtyard.

The sky was still very dark, although it was not so bad that you could not see your fingers, but it was pitch black all around, and it was obvious that there were still more than two hours before dawn.

The screams came from the courtyard of Yellow Springs, and it was he who sent them to the exact point.

At this time, he was hiding in the corner of the bed with a frightened face, staring at the person who broke in in front of him.

"Tuk Tuk!"

"Get up. ”

"Got to work. ”

The man knocked on the edge of the bed with a bamboo pole, and said in a warm voice, as if a loving mother was telling her doting child to get up and eat, it was Xu Bingwei.

"It's so early, it's not dawn yet. ”

Although Huang Quan complained, he didn't dare to slow down his movements by half a minute, knowing that once he delayed, he would definitely have to take a few more hits.

"Well, yes, it's not dawn yet, why don't you sleep again?"

Xu Bingwei squinted his eyes and looked at Huang Quan with a kind face, looking amiable and negotiable.

"Ha~ How is it possible? How can such a good time be wasted on sleeping, I want to be inspired to become the strongest person in the world, of course, to strive for self-improvement, smell the chicken and dance... Ahh

Huang Quan sneered, haha, with an expression that I am not the kind of person who sleeps lazy, and was about to use "smelling the chicken and dancing" to insinuate the person who woke him up, and received another whip on his back.

"You go, take a bamboo whip and wake up Xiao Pihai. ”

Xu Bingwei threw the bamboo whip in his hand to Huang Quan and said calmly.

"Ah~~"

There was another scream.

When Xiao Pihai knew that it was Xu Bingwei's order, he didn't dare to look at him, but just stared at Huang Quan angrily, as if he was going to pounce on him and beat him as soon as he had the opportunity.

"Well, that's good, I get up quickly. Starting tomorrow, those who get up early can be woken up late with a bamboo whip. ”

Xu Bingwei nodded, very satisfied, but he didn't care about the two people in front of him, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what I was thinking.

"Alright. Do you see the mountain opposite, today's task is for everyone to go to that mountain to cut a hundred bamboos, the same, after cutting can come back to sleep. ”

Xu Bingwei casually threw two rusty and moldy machetes to them, then yawned and turned away.

"I hacked you to death, and you dared to beat me!"

When Xu Bingwei disappeared from the sight of the two, the little kid picked up the machete and slashed towards Huangquan.

"It was Xu Bingwei who told me to beat you, you have a kind of going to cut him!"

Huang Quan had already prepared, as soon as Xu Bingwei threw the machete to him, he immediately ran up the mountain, and when he saw the little kid cutting him with a knife, he explained while running.

......

"Okay, then Xu Niangpi shouldn't be able to see it, stop acting!"

Turning a corner, Huang Quan suddenly stopped and said to the little kid behind him.

"Well, you still have to do the surface work, otherwise you will die if Xu Niangpi finds out. ”

The little kid looked around to make sure he didn't find anything out of the ordinary, and then put away the machete.

"Yes, that Xu Niangpi told me to whip you up with a bamboo whip, I knew that he didn't have a good heart, and he really wanted to sow discord between the two of us, but fortunately I was smart enough to let you pretend to scream when you got up. ”

"Well, I'll call you that when I get up first, if you get up first, call me that too, and we don't hurt each other. ”

The little kid nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and fully agreed with Huang Quan's statement.

"But the key is to be earlier than that Xu Niangpi, otherwise it will be in vain, and one of us will still be beaten. ”

Huang Quan Zou frowned and pondered how to avoid the whipping in the morning and get up passively, but there was only one way to think about itβ€”that is, to get up earlier than Xu Bingwei.

"Hold the grass! I thought it was easy and pleasant to cut a hundred bamboos, but I didn't expect a bamboo to be thicker than a tree!

Huang Quan walked and thought, and walked to a bamboo forest, at first he didn't feel that there was any problem, but after his thoughts came back, he found that the bamboo in front of him was almost as thick as a little kid's hug, and he couldn't help but scold.

"Tuk!"

Huang Quan scolded and scolded, but still picked up the machete and cut down, and after a dull sound, he saw a shallow white knife mark printed on the skin of the bamboo.

"I'm going to go! What a broken knife, it's not a good knife 999, this knife doesn't even go down to 0.99. ”

Huang Quan frowned and looked at the machete in his hand, seeing that it was rusty, he knew that it might not be so easy to use, but he never thought it would be so bad.

"It must be because I haven't eaten yet. ”

Huang Quan thought about it, took out a Bigu pill and threw it directly into his mouth, turned his head to see what the little kid was doing, it was okay not to look at it, and he almost got angry when he saw it:

I saw that the little boy unhurriedly took out a whetstone from his waist, then found a flat place, sat down, and began to sharpen the knife slowly.

"I said little brat, you're not interesting enough, you secretly brought a whetstone, and you didn't tell me!

Huang Quan gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"I said Brother Quan, sharpen the knife and don't cut the bamboo by mistake, why don't you know this truth, do you want me to remind you?"

The little kid gave him a blank look, sharpened his machete intently, and from time to time took out the water bladder he carried with him and added some water to the whetstone.

Huang Quan didn't say a word, and walked around the bamboo forest with a knife, to see if he could find a few smaller bamboos, the hard work paid off, and finally in the bamboo forest, he still found dozens of normal adult thigh-thick bamboos, of course, compared to the bamboo in the previous life, it is several times larger, but compared with other bamboos in the bamboo forest, it still has a great advantage, and it can be regarded as a thin bamboo among the fat bamboo.

After going around the bamboo forest, the little kid's knife was almost sharpened.

"Give me the knife you sharpened!"

Huang Quan sneaked behind the little kid, then put his own machete on his neck, and threatened, pulling the machete back and forth from time to time.

"Ah~ah, it hurts, don't pull it, I'll give it to you. ”

Although the rusty machete in Huang Quan's hand couldn't cut the little kid, it still hurt to pull back and forth like this, and under the eaves of the people, he had to hand Huang Quan the knife he had worked so hard to sharpen.
