Chapter 197: Peaches, Paper Cows
At dawn the next day, Huzi got up early from the wooden house.
After washing in the stream beside him, he couldn't help but lift his spirits, moved his body, and took off the axe from his waist.
According to Li Dao's requirements, he found a black wood pine tree three zhang wide and ten zhang high and cut it down, in fact, the black wood pine here is everywhere, all of them are more than a hundred years old, and there is no need to deliberately choose at all.
As soon as this black wood pine tiger chopped an axe, he felt a shock in his palms, and some of them couldn't hold the axe, and their arms were numb.
After taking a closer look, his axe only left a very shallow trace on the tree pole, and he couldn't help but gasp. Hearing about Li Dao's request yesterday would have been a little difficult, but the fact was that it was much more than he expected.
This tree is very hard, not to mention that he is a teenager, even an adult is estimated to be difficult to cut down in a day, and his heart can't help but sink, this is just the beginning, and he has been hit.
However, he is stubborn by nature, and his future is at stake, and he refuses to give up easily.
Gritting his teeth and cutting it down fiercely, before the time of tea, he collapsed from exhaustion and collapsed to the ground, leaving only a three-inch hole on the tree, not to mention a day, even if it was cut down in three days, it was estimated that it would be difficult to cut it down.
One of Huzi's hands had been cracked and bleeding, and he began to feel some pain, and his heart was extremely depressed.
But after resting for a while, he got up and continued to cut again, every time he felt really tormented, he really wanted to give up, but his heart was always unwilling, driven by the desire to cultivate immortals.
In the agony, a morning passed.
At this time, Huzi was so tired that he almost lost his strength, he had no strength in his body, and his stomach was growling, he was already exhausted. He decided to find something to eat to replenish his strength, and he remembered that there seemed to be fish swimming in the stream.
Although he inherited his father's archery skills, but at this moment he didn't even have the strength to open his bow and arrows, so he could only catch some fish to chat to satisfy his hunger, dragging his tired body, Huzi walked to the stream, and drank a few sips of stream water first, which was extremely sweet and cold, which suddenly refreshed his tired body a lot.
He has lived by the sea since he was a child, and he naturally has the ability to fish, and after a while, he caught a few fresh fish, this fish is not ordinary from ordinary sea fish, the whole body is transparent, and even the internal organs can be seen, which is extremely rare.
Because he was so hungry, Huzi didn't make a fire, so he tore the fish and ate it directly, the fish tasted really good, there was no fishy smell at all, but it was particularly sweet, and he ate three fish to fill his stomach.
After resting for a while, he picked up his axe again and continued his work.
On this day, Huzi did not stop, and did not give up cutting until dark, because it was not visible.
The black wood pine was only half cut down, and he knew that he couldn't complete the task today.
Huzi's mood was extremely depressed, although he had three opportunities a month, he didn't complete the task on the first day, which made him feel extremely panicked. And my hands hurt badly, there were a lot of cracks on my hands, my arms were sore and swollen, and I am afraid that the efficiency will be slower tomorrow.
If this continues, I am afraid that I will not stay for a few days, and I will be sent back.
Lying on the stone bed of the wooden house, Huzi was extremely anxious.
A round of moonlight shone in, and he suddenly couldn't help but feel homesick and miss his mother.
Maybe his choice was wrong, that immortal chief didn't intend to take him as an apprentice at all, so he came up with such a problem for himself, a wave of resentment rose in his heart, and he really wanted to give up at this moment.
Tossing and turning on the bed, Huzi couldn't sleep, so he simply walked out of the house and walked outside to relax.
Although it is located in the mountains and forests in the heart of the island, there are no large beasts, only a few wild beasts such as pheasants, rabbits or hog badgers, which he can deal with, so he is not afraid.
After walking along the creek for half a pillar of incense, Huzi came to a peach forest, and during the day he smelled a fragrance, suspecting that there must be a fruit forest nearby, and he did not look for it when he wanted to complete the task.
This night's inadvertent walk here made him see.
This peach forest is not big, about only the size of an acre, at this time the peach blossoms bloom, under the shroud of the moon shadow, the shadow of the tree is swaying, with a faint fragrance, a good beautiful scenery in front of you, even if the tiger has not read a few days, but can also feel this artistic conception wonderful extraordinary.
What surprised him even more was that there were still a lot of peaches hanging on this peach tree, but compared with ordinary peaches, the color of this fruit was purple, and the size was not large, like an apricot, which looked inconspicuous.
Smelling the rich peach fragrance, Huzi couldn't help but be greedy, and didn't care that this peach looked weird, picked a few and wiped it with his sleeve and sent it to his mouth, this peach melted in the mouth, extremely sweet, and the fragrance was rich.
After swallowing it, a hot breath rose and rushed towards his whole body, which was very warm and comfortable.
I ate more than ten pieces in one go, and then I couldn't get enough of it.
Huzi said in his heart: "Although this peach is small, the taste is indeed excellent, but it's a pity that my mother is not here, otherwise she can taste it!"
Thinking like this, I can't help but feel a little pity.
After a while, Huzi felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter, and he couldn't help but feel very sleepy, and he wanted to go back to sleep, but he yawned and fell asleep on the ground.
This sleep was a night passed, and Huzi was woken up by a bird.
When I opened my eyes, I was a little stunned, but I suddenly remembered today's task, and when I saw that the sky was already shining with the sun, I couldn't help but scream that it was broken, and then ran towards the direction of the wooden house.
He took the axe out of the house, and began to cut it, and worked for an hour in one breath, and then he was a little tired. Sitting on the ground, he felt a little weird, but his arms, which were obviously very sore yesterday, were not abnormal today, and the whole person felt full of energy, and he didn't feel tired compared to yesterday.
The strangest thing was that he felt that his strength had also increased a lot, and he was surprised to see that the wounds on his hands had healed unconsciously, leaving no scars.
Yesterday I was obviously tired and half dead, and my arms were sore, but today I am back to normal, what is going on?
He couldn't figure it out.
But at this time, he suddenly thought that he had inexplicably slept in the peach forest last night, and his mind suddenly flashed, could it be the reason for eating that peach?
Could it be that the peach I ate is a fairy fruit, otherwise it is difficult to explain the strange phenomenon on my body!
Since he was a child, he heard that this Chongming Island is a place where immortals live, and there are many immortal trees planted in it, and he heard that if you eat the immortal fruit on this immortal tree, you can become an immortal.
Could it be that the peach I ate yesterday was a fairy fruit?
Huzi secretly guessed.
In fact, he already believed a little in his heart, this is Chongming Island, and it is not strange that there are immortal fruits, but he has eaten such a precious thing, and he has eaten so much, he feels surprised.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go on a trip at night to verify whether his guess was true.
Picking up the axe, the tiger began to cut down again, perhaps because of his great strength, and touched some tricks to save some effort, and the black pine finally fell slowly before the sun set.
Huzi breathed a sigh of relief, today's task was finally completed.
However, there is a problem at the moment, that is, how to send this big tree to the square, it will definitely not work to cut it into several pieces, it is too wasteful of time, but his strength is small, and he can't resist it, so he can't help frowning and falling into deep thought.
"Huzi, I came to look for you last night, but I didn't see anyone, where did I go?"
Da Niu didn't know when he came over, patted the tiger in deep thought, and said.
Huzi was a little irritable, and suddenly he was angry when he was patted by someone, and he was about to have a seizure, but when he saw that it was a big cow, he turned his anger into joy and said, "Why are you here?"
Da Niu glanced at him curiously, confirmed that there was nothing abnormal about this small hair, and then said: "Today's homework has been completed, don't worry about you, just take a look." You haven't answered me yet, why weren't you here last night?"
Huzi said embarrassedly: "I was too tired yesterday, I went outside for a spin, and I actually fell asleep, so naturally you couldn't find me." ”
But he kept an eye on it, and didn't tell Da Niu about the peach, not because he was careful, but he wasn't sure that the peach was the fairy fruit, so he told Da Niu for fear of making a joke.
"Oh, no wonder!"
Da Niu scratched his head and didn't think much about it.
But when he saw the fallen black pine, he was surprised and said, "You cut down one, it's amazing." Master told me that this black wood pine looks ordinary, but it is actually very hard, and I am worried that you will not be able to complete it!"
"It's cut down, but I can't move it, it's really distressing!"
Huzi said depressedly.
Da Niu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, Master has already instructed me, saying that if you can cut down this tree, he will naturally have a way for you to transport it away, and I came to you for this matter." ”
After speaking, the big cow took out two pieces of yellow paper from his arms, and threw them into the ground after a few words in his mouth, and the two pieces of yellow paper emitted a burst of white smoke, and then he saw two paper-like buffaloes appear on the ground, mooing and barking.
"This is an immortal talisman?"
Huzi's eyes widened and he said shockingly.
"Yes, actually, I don't know, it was given to me by Master. ”
Da Niu said with a smile.
When he had finished speaking, he asked, "Go find two ropes and put them around the neck of this ox, and they will be able to pull away the tree." ”
Huzi was naturally convinced of Li Dao's ability, and he was not suspicious, so he went to the wooden house to find a hemp rope with a thick arm, first put it on one end of the black wood pine, tied a slipknot, and then put it behind the horns of the two paper cows.
I didn't see how the big cow drove it, the two paper cows mooed and screamed, and ran forward, and the black wood pine fruit was really pulled up, and the speed was extremely fast.
The big bull and the tiger are amazed!
