Chapter 284 Zhou Chaoyang's Stupidity

There are many trees on Niutou Mountain, and many of them are suitable for decoration. Zhou Ziwen found a forest just after entering the mountain.

This is a hemlock forest. Hemlock wood has beautiful texture, strong material, and good water resistance.

This kind of wood is most suitable for decorating houses.

There are many thick old trees on Niutou Mountain, the largest of which is bigger than a person's waist.

Zhou Ziwen didn't hesitate and found a thicker hemlock tree and started chopping it down quickly and efficiently.

According to his estimation, if all they chose were these thick hemlocks, they wouldn't be able to use many of them.

Zhou Ziwen was very strong, and one blow of the axe could create a deep gap.

It only took him a quarter of an hour to cut down a big tree.

This kind of tree is quite strong. The tree he cut down was more than fifty meters tall. It was because he was very strong. If someone else came, they would not be able to carry it at all.

Because the trees were a bit large, Zhou Ziwen didn't cut down many. After cutting down one, he carried the tree home.

There were many branches on the tree, but Zhou Ziwen didn't deal with them. He just carried them away and waited until he got home to slowly chop them down and use them as firewood.

On the way home, because the tree was too long, Zhou Ziwen simply dealt with it outside. He first removed the branches and then sawed the trunk into sections.

When he had finished all this, he collected the cut branches and placed them under the eaves. When they were dry, they could be used as firewood.

As for the tree trunk, he also placed it on the wooden beams of the eaves and waited until it dried before doing anything else.

After dealing with the wood, Zhou Ziwen set out again to cut trees in Niutou Mountain.

For the rest of the afternoon, Zhou Ziwen walked back and forth several times until the eaves of his house and Chen Shiying's house could no longer accommodate him, and then he stopped.

In one afternoon, he cut down three big trees with thick waists. These few trees alone were definitely not enough, so he planned to continue tomorrow and cut down some more trees first.

If there wasn't enough space, he would just put them in a circle against the wall.

If it really doesn't work, you can also leave it with Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang.

There are always more solutions than problems, and this little thing is not difficult for him.

It was still early, but Zhou Ziwen was not planning to go out.

On this day, everyone is hiding at home to hibernate, so he also wants to follow the local customs and take some time off.

Although work makes people fulfilled, enjoying life can also make people happy.

After changing his clothes, Zhou Ziwen hid on the kang next to Chen Shiying again.

Here, I have two beautiful girls to accompany me. When I am thirsty, someone will give me water. When I am tired, someone will rub my shoulders. When I am hungry, there are snacks. I wouldn’t trade this kind of life for anything, even for a god.

After a short rest, Chen Shiying went to the kitchen to busy herself, and Chen Qiaoyi also went to help.

We are having stewed lamb today. The lamb needs to be stewed first and it tastes better when it is tender.

Zhou Ziwen stayed on the kang and fell asleep again in a daze.

It’s so cold, it’s boring to stay outside. You might as well stay at home and take a nap.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, come and help!"

When Zhou Ziwen was sleeping soundly, Shen Zhaodi's voice was heard outside.

When he got up from the kang, Chen Zhaodi had already rushed in.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ziwen asked.

"Brother Zhou, Zhou Chaoyang is stuck in the ice in the yard and can't even get his mouth off." Shen Zhaodi said anxiously.

"It's okay, just bring a kettle of hot water and rinse it."

While talking, Zhou Ziwen also took the thermos from the room and went out.

When he arrived at Shen Zhaodi's house, Zhou Chaoyang was whimpering in the yard.

But because his mouth was glued shut, he couldn't even speak.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ziwen just felt funny.

"Brother, this is a bit embarrassing for you. It's not like it doesn't snow in our city. Haven't you had enough fun yet?" Zhou Ziwen joked, holding a thermos and pouring water on the icicles.

Zhou Ziwen's method was very good. He poured a pot of water and after a while, Zhou Chaoyang's mouth was taken out.

"Ha, tsk!"

Zhou Chaoyang spat a few times. It was obvious that the icicle had frozen him so much that he felt very uncomfortable.

"I didn't want to do this either. It was Zhaodi who forced me to do this." Zhou Chaoyang explained embarrassedly.

Shen Zhaodi on the side was also a little embarrassed.

She had just made a bet with Zhou Chaoyang, and Zhou Chaoyang lost, so he had to lick an icicle as punishment.

Originally, Zhou Chaoyang thought that he was experienced and should not be frozen. However, he did not perform the operation well this time and was frozen as soon as he licked it.

"You guys really know how to have fun." After hearing Zhou Chaoyang's explanation, he looked at the two of them playfully.

It looks like something is going on!

Zhou Chaoyang felt a little embarrassed when being stared at, but Shen Zhaodi seemed very calm and composed.

This girl is really nice. Although she has a tomboyish personality, she is easy to get along with.

Although licking icicles is a bit ridiculous, it has to be said that people sometimes do stupid things.

However, this kind of stupid thing usually happens when we are young. Everyone has curiosity. Even he licked this thing when he was a child.

Of course, the ending wasn't very good.

After rescuing Zhou Chaoyang, Zhou Ziwen did not disturb them. He just said hello and left.

These two young people are developing a relationship, and he doesn't want to stay here and be a light bulb.

Back next door, the aroma from the kitchen was already wafting out.

Zhou Ziwen smelled it and thought it tasted pretty good. Although it was not as good as his, it was already very good among home-cooked dishes.

With Chen Shiying's level, it would be no problem for her to be a chef in some home-cooked restaurant.

After returning to the room, Zhou Ziwen lay on the kang and did nothing.

After flipping through the idle panel, he found that several skills were about to be upgraded.

【Five Animal Exercises LV4 (355/400)】

【Bamboo Weaving LV2(188/200)】

Fishing Level 3 (258/300)

[Stonemason LV3 (275/300)]

The first is the Five Animals Exercise. He has been practicing this skill on his own, but with the foundation of Bajiquan, he can improve the Five Animals Exercise very quickly.

Up to now, it has reached level four, close to level five.

The fourth level of Five Animal Exercises made his body warm and comfortable every time he did this set of movements.

Often he only needs to do it once and his body will start to move.

Compared with the tough boxing style like Bajiquan, Wuqinxi has a very good health-preserving effect.

After regular contact, he felt that his mental state was better.

For him, skills of the same type can be applied to other similar ones. He only needs to improve one skill and other skills will also improve rapidly.

As for the remaining three skills, their levels are not very high. For example, bamboo weaving was only used for a short time at the beginning, and was not used frequently afterwards, so the improvement was a bit slow.

Fishing was the main reason why he was able to eat meat in the first place. Although his skill level was not very high, it was good enough and he could be considered a veteran fisherman.

He is also willing to make a nest and use special bait, so he always has a good harvest every time he goes fishing.

But it snowed several times in the past few days, so it’s not a good time to go fishing.

He wanted to wait until the river froze enough for people to stand, so that he could go ice fishing.

As of now, it is still a little unsafe to go fishing in the river.

Zhou Ziwen uses the stonemason skill quite often, and he uses it from time to time. In the early stage, he used it to upgrade, and after he left the stonemason group, he basically didn't use it anymore. However, because he used it frequently, his proficiency did improve a bit.

By now, I am almost at level four.

He was not prepared to spend his precious idle slots on these infrequently used and sufficient skills.

Maybe he will continue to hang up until he needs to improve.

As for now, it can only be put on hold.
