Chapter 1 Woodcutter, Spirit Lottery
A biting autumn wind blew by, and Xie Yuan, who was lying in the drafty wooden house, shivered and woke up from his drowsiness.
Hiss, it’s so cold, where’s my quilt...
He squinted his eyes and reached down to touch, but he didn’t feel the duvet he bought on Taobao. There was nothing on it. .
Kicked off the quilt?
Xie Yuan thought vaguely and was about to turn over to pick it up when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The surrounding area seems like...not your own dormitory?
He suddenly opened his eyes wide, turned over and sat up from the loess, looked around, and was completely stunned.
This...
What is the situation with this rotten wooden house in the rural style of the 1980s?
No, it's not as good as in the 1980s. At least the home I went to when I was a kid didn't have such big holes in the wall.
It is a small and shabby house with bare walls.
Except for the thatched bed and a cabinet next to it, there was not even a table;
There was nothing paved on the ground, just loess, and I was sleeping on the ground at this time.
There is only a short-handled ax in the corner of the house, which is exactly the same as the one used to chop wood in the countryside;
There was a hemp rope on the crooked door as a lock, which had also been disconnected at this time.
The holes in the wall and the open door blew up the draft. Xie Yuan shivered again and felt a chill.
Where is this?
Yesterday, yesterday I was...
Xie Yuan recalled it, and suddenly felt dizzy, and many memories came up.
I'm getting ready to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I first went to Tianmen Mountain to ask for a sign and make a wish. I hope I can do whatever I want, and take the exam smoothly;
It took a long time to queue, but I finally won the lottery and signed it. So he happily took the last cable car down the mountain;
It was dark and foggy, and the cable car floated slowly in the mist, drifting through the Tianmen;
Looking around, I felt like a fairyland and a ghost, and felt a little strange;
Then, then...
Xie Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly.
Then this life!
Reincarnated in a mountain village, my parents died early, and I depended on my brother who was a woodcutter. Although I was poor, I was still able to survive;
My eldest brother went into the mountains to cut firewood a few days ago and never came back. village gang After searching, I only found an ax and tattered clothes, as well as bloodstains and beast footprints all over the ground...
I was young and thin and had no support, so I relied on the help of my next door neighbors;
But the gangsters in the village still came to the house every now and then, borrowing a basin today and a pot the next. The home, which had nothing in it, was soon emptied out.
Finally, last night, when the weather turned cold, the gangster Li Mazi came to the door and wanted to "borrow" the only thick cotton coat that my eldest brother had left.
Not to mention that it was a relic left by the eldest brother. It was the clothes from the bottom of the box that the brothers wore when they went out. It is of great significance;
To put it more realistically, in the coming winter, Without this cotton-padded coat, wouldn't he have been frozen to death?
Xie Yuan was naturally willing to fight to the death, but he was too thin to compete with Li Mazi.
During the push, Li Mazi slapped him, knocking him out, and then pushed him away.
So he hit the ground on the back of his head...
When he woke up again, he suddenly remembered his past and present lives.
The memories of the two lives were mixed together, and Xie Yuan was in a daze.
How could this happen?
Yesterday, a college student who had no worries about food and clothing suddenly became a poor woodcutter in a mountain village?
I don’t even have thick clothes... No, let alone thick clothes, I don’t know what I’m going to eat for the next meal!
My previous worry was that I couldn’t find a job and felt a lot of pressure.
Now?
Now it’s time to worry about how you will survive!
Xie Yuan bared his teeth and trembled again.
This weather is so cold.
Forget it if you don’t have a down jacket, even a cotton-padded coat was taken away...
My body is already thin, how can I live without clothes to keep out the cold?
Fuck Li Mazi.
Xie Yuan felt angry and subconsciously touched the back of his head, and there was a big lump.
Did you die yesterday?
This is the mystery of the womb. Thinking of the past and present life, can you live a new life?
He gritted his teeth and silently chanted the name Li Mazi several times, but for the time being he was unable to settle the score with him.
He is just an orphan, the poorest woodcutter in the village, who cannot afford to offend the gangsters and village bullies.
This world is similar to the ancient feudal dynasty. There are no policemen in the mountain villages, and no one can help him.
A helpless orphan like him is destined to be bullied.
Especially when a bunch of gangsters like Li Mazi in the village get together and follow Zhang Laoer, they have the strength in numbers, they bully the weak and take advantage of others, and the elders in the village can only turn a blind eye. Close one eye.
Not only because of their large numbers, but also because Zhang Laoer’s brother Zhang Dalang learned martial arts in a martial arts school, and after graduating, he became a class leader in the county government!
The warriors in this life are different from those in the previous life. It is said that beginners can open monuments, crack stones, fly over eaves and walk on walls;
Those with high realms can even collapse mountains, cut off rivers, and move mountains to fill the sea!
Indistinguishable from gods.
Therefore, the status of warriors is extremely high. Even if they are just starting out, they are much better than ordinary people.
As for Zhang Dalang, who is academically accomplished and has an official status, his younger brother Zhang Laoer leads a bunch of gangsters to run rampant in the village, and naturally no one dares to control him.
"Warrior..."
Xie Yuan's eyes moved.
If he had a choice, Xie Yuan really wanted to go back. Isn’t fried chicken and Coke delicious? Or is the phone not fun anymore?
No matter how stressful the past life was, at least there was no problem in living, and it could even be said that living was very nourishing - compared to now, it was heaven.
But I came to this world inexplicably, and it seems that I can’t go back for a while.
A mountain village woodcutter like him who has no support and no background is at the bottom of the world.
If you want to turn over, at least live a life without worries about food and clothing, and then not be bullied.
Maybe the only option is to become a warrior?
Burning glass, making soap, well, he doesn't know how... Even if he figured it out based on impressions, in this world of cultivation, if he is not strong enough, he may be like a kid holding gold in the market.
Unless you are a warrior, you can keep your foundation.
However, how can practicing martial arts be so easy?
Not to mention qualifications and talents, not to mention medicinal baths and food supplements, even in the most ordinary martial arts school, if you start as a registered disciple and learn for several months, how many taels of silver will be enough?
Now he doesn’t even have money for his next meal.
Unless...
Xie Yuan tentatively shouted:
"Dark Blue?"
No response.
"Panel?"
"System?"
Except for his muttering to himself, there was no reaction in the room.
Hell begins!
Xie Yuan sighed, it seemed that he was not so lucky.
I thought I was treated like the male protagonist of Qidian.
That’s all, that’s it, let’s eat first… there’s nothing to eat.
A gust of wind blew by, and he, who was only wearing linen clothes, shivered again. The temperature in the late autumn in the mountain village was already extremely low.
If there is no means of heating, his body and bones may not be able to bear it.
Looking at the literally bare-walled house, Xie Yuan crossed his arms and said:
“Hey, sir, let’s get angry...”
He lifted it from the corner of the room. Axe, walked out of the door and came to the courtyard.
There are still a few thick logs in the small yard, which he cut down before.
This kind of wood is cut from what is known locally as the "leizi tree". The lizard tree has a lot of water and the wood rots, making it easy to cut down.
With Xie Yuan’s strength, he could only chop down this kind of tree.
But the wood is too easy to get, and it has too much moisture. When it is chopped, it is wet wood. It smokes very much when burned, and it cannot be sold at a high price.
Xie Yuan had a hard time making ends meet with this, and had to rely on neighbors for help.
When his elder brother was here, he often went into the mountains to find better tree species to cut down. The elder brother is naturally tall and strong, and is good with an axe. There are few woodcutters in the village who are as powerful as him.
Sometimes you can find good trees, cut them down, carry them out, sell them for a lot of money, and you can still have meat at home.
It’s just that the mountains are not safe, there are big insects, and it is said that there are monsters deeper in the depths. I don’t know what happened to the elder brother, there is nothing left...
Xie Yuan is feeling a little depressed.
Even if you recall the memories of your previous life, the experiences and feelings in this life are all real. Without his eldest brother raising him with all his heart, he would have traveled through time again long ago.
While distracted, I chopped firewood.
As a result, the ax fell apart and almost hit my foot, which shocked me.
He was a little helpless. In fact, before his eldest brother died, he was still young and just watched his eldest brother chop wood. He had never done this work at all and was not considered skilled.
"What did eldest brother say? The legs should be strong, the waist should be tight, and the strength should be raised from the ground, from the eyes to the hands?"
Xie Yuan concentrated, stepped slightly, and lifted He picked up the ax, aimed at the wood on the ground, and took a breath.
Crack.
A large piece of wood snapped in half, but Xie Yuan felt that it didn't take much effort.
“Brother’s formula is quite useful!”
He smiled slightly:
“Chopping firewood may seem simple, but actually there are some skills of my own. No matter what happens, good or bad It's probably the same for both high and low levels."
As he was about to continue, his vision suddenly changed and he saw a wooden stick with a line of ancient seal characters on it.
Xie Yuan obviously shouldn't be able to understand it, but surprisingly he knew what was written.
[There is a method for every way, and there are techniques for every method, and they can all be learned]
Huh?
Isn’t this... the signature I asked for in Tianmen Mountain?
Xie Yuan's pupils shrank, and suddenly his eyes flashed again, revealing a few rows of words.
[The woodcutter also has his own way of chopping firewood, and you have some understanding. 】
【Chopping firewood: (1/100)】
【Use an ax to chop firewood and understand the edge of the army. People are like rotten wood, and the world is like firewood. 】
