Chapter 73 Chopping Firewood
“Brother Zhou, you are so lucky!”
“It would be great if I also had such good luck.”
Zhou Chaoyang believed it to be true, and really thought he would be able to catch a hare if he was lucky.
“Haha.”
Zhou Ziwen is too lazy to argue with him, so just let him fantasize happily!
"Brother Zhou, I'm going to the mountains to chop firewood, let's go together!"
Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhou Ziwen expectantly, and he was really a little scared when he was asked to go to the mountains alone.
During this period, he heard a lot of news. The one he heard the most was that the mountains were dangerous and could not go deep.
Although he heard from them that there was no danger outside, he was still a little scared.
This is not a question of whether you are timid or not, but a matter of considering your own life safety.
"Okay, just wait for me for a while." Zhou Ziwen looked at Zhou Chaoyang's expression and readily agreed.
On his side, he is busy no matter how busy he is. The process of making culture medium is complicated, but it can also be done slowly and not in a hurry.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Ziwen finished what he was doing, tidied up a little, and then set off with Zhou Chaoyang.
“How about it, is it more comfortable to live in your new home?”
On the way, Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Comfortable is comfortable, but I drank too much yesterday and haven't had time to feel it carefully."
Speaking of this, Zhou Chaoyang looked like he was in deep sorrow.
“Who can blame you? If you can’t drink it, just drink it!” Zhou Ziwen glanced at him.
"I thought so too, but there were so many people toasting yesterday that I accidentally drank too much." Zhou Chaoyang felt helpless.
Let’s not talk about the group of people in the Educated Youth Institute. The composition of the staff is complex, with people from all over the world, those who can drink, and those who cannot drink, all together.
But the total number of people in the Educated Youth Institute is not as good as the folks in the construction team.
Good guys, these people, according to them, drinking a pound is just a base.
I don’t even dare to speak loudly because I don’t weigh two or three kilograms.
“Haha, you can’t do it!” Zhou Ziwen laughed.
This was what he said. If it were someone else, Zhou Chaoyang might have turned against him.
Zhou Chaoyang had a dark face and remained silent.
He really didn't dare to refute this. Not everyone is as stupid as Zhou Ziwen. He drinks like water. As long as his stomach can hold it, he can drink as much as he wants.
Of the thirty kilograms of wine he bought yesterday, Zhou Ziwen drank at least close to ten kilograms.
Although I went to the toilet several times along the way, my unrivaled drinking capacity was clearly revealed.
"Brother Zhou, are you going to chop firewood?"
When he came to the foot of the mountain, Zhou Chaoyang asked.
"Yeah, it's no fun to collect firewood. Let's go directly to the mountains to chop it." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Although it is convenient to pick up branches and leaves, they do not need to be burned. Since they have come, you have to cut down a tree no matter what.
"Okay." Zhou Chaoyang nodded hurriedly.
Isn't that why he asked Brother Zhou to come with him?
He thought there were too few leaves to pick up, and he didn't dare to go deep into the trees to cut down. Now that Zhou Ziwen was with him, he was no longer afraid.
Zhou Ziwen's reputation for having practiced martial arts has long spread throughout the village. Some kids in the village heard about it and started clamoring to become his apprentice.
However, Zhou Ziwen was also busy during this period and had no time to play with the children.
When you have some free time, it won’t matter if you teach.
Under the leadership of Zhou Ziwen, the two of them went deep into the mountains and forests. When they encountered wild vegetables and fruits on the way, they were also able to pick them.
Zhou Chaoyang doesn't know much about these, but Zhou Ziwen does.
Although I don’t know much, it’s enough for the time being.
The main reason is that there are only two idle slots. Bajiquan needs to be idle all the time. Recently, he is planning to grow mushrooms, and the second idle slot is not available.
If you want to improve other skills, you can only wait until the third idle slot opens next month.
There are many dead trees in the mountains. The last time he came here, Zhou Ziwen found two. At that time, he only cut down one, and there was still one left. This time there is an extra Zhou Chaoyang, but one is definitely not enough, and we have to keep looking.
"Chaoyang, just chop down the tree here, I'll look for it elsewhere." Zhou Ziwen took him to the dead tree he found last time and said.
"Okay, Brother Zhou."
When they arrived in the mountain, Zhou Chaoyang listened to him and immediately started chopping with an axe.
However, Zhou Chaoyang was not very strong, so it would probably take a long time to cut down this tree.
Seeing that he was busy, Zhou Ziwen did not delay and continued to walk in other directions.
We were picking and picking all the way, with half of the backpack filled, and finally found another dead tree.
“Let’s get started.”
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Ziwen didn’t delay and started working with the ax in hand.
His strength was not comparable to Zhou Chaoyang's, and one strike of the ax would create a deep gash.
Within a few minutes, a thigh-thick pine tree was chopped down by him.
When he came to Zhou Chaoyang with the tree on his shoulders, the boy was still working hard on the tree.
Zhou Ziwen saw that this kid was not lazy, and he cut off most of it not long after.
"You take a break and let me do it."
Zhou Ziwen put down the tree on his shoulder and strode away with the ax in hand.
With a few strokes of the ax, he chopped down the dead tree.
"Brother Zhou, you are too strong. This tree is so hard, I almost couldn't chop it down after cutting it for a long time." Zhou Chaoyang looked at this scene with a complicated mood.
Compared to Brother Zhou, why does he look like a weakling?
"I have been practicing boxing for more than ten years. Do you think this boxing is for nothing?" Zhou Ziwen glanced at him and explained casually.
Although he has not practiced boxing since childhood, the level of Bajiquan is stronger than those who have practiced boxing since childhood.
There is absolutely no problem in making up a character who has been practicing boxing since childhood.
"That's true."
Zhou Chaoyang agreed with this, but it was a pity that he didn't practice boxing since he was a child.
If he had Zhou Ziwen's physical fitness, life in the countryside wouldn't be so difficult.
"Let's go, it's getting late, go home."
"By the way, can you carry this tree?"
Zhou Ziwen glanced at the dead tree lying on the ground , looked at Zhou Chaoyang's body again, and asked with some uncertainty.
“Okay, it must be okay!”
Zhou Chaoyang patted his chest.
Although he knew that he was not as good as Zhou Ziwen, he was not at a disadvantage.
It’s just a tree. Even if you can’t carry it back, you have to drag it back.
“Then let’s go!”
Looking at Zhou Chaoyang’s confident look, Zhou Ziwen was a little doubtful.
But he has to rely on himself to do this. It’s not that he can’t help, but it’s definitely not possible to rely on him to help.
It doesn't matter if you help once or twice, but if the number of times is too many, their relationship may deteriorate.
On the way back, Zhou Ziwen's worries were indeed unnecessary.
We were only halfway through the journey, and Zhou Chaoyang couldn’t carry it anymore.
"How is it? Is it okay?" Zhou Ziwen stopped and asked.
"Brother Zhou, please go first, I'll take a break and talk later." Zhou Chaoyang waved his hand angrily.
"Okay, then slow down." Zhou Ziwen nodded and did not offer to help.
