Chapter 73 Chopping Wood
"Brother Zhou, you are so lucky!"
"I wish I had such good luck."
Zhou Chaoyang believed it and actually thought that he could catch a hare with just luck.
"hehe."
Zhou Ziwen was too lazy to argue with him, so he just let him enjoy his fantasy!
"Brother Zhou, I'm going to the mountain to chop firewood. Let's go together!"
Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhou Ziwen expectantly. He was actually a little scared of letting him go into the forest alone.
He heard a lot of news during this period, and the most common thing he heard was that the mountains were dangerous and one should not go deep into them.
Although he heard from them that there was no danger outside, he was still a little scared.
This is not a question of being timid or not, but for the sake of your own life safety.
"Okay, wait for me for a while." Zhou Ziwen looked at Zhou Chaoyang's expression and agreed readily.
On his side, he is busy and not busy at the same time. The process of making culture medium is complicated, but he can do it slowly and there is no need to rush.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Ziwen finished the work at hand, packed up a little, and set off with Zhou Chaoyang.
"How is it? Is your new home more comfortable?"
On the way, Zhou Ziwen asked.
"It's comfortable, but I drank too much yesterday and didn't have time to fully appreciate it."
Speaking of this, Zhou Chaoyang looked full of hatred and resentment.
"Who can you blame? If you can't drink it, just don't drink it!" Zhou Ziwen glanced at him.
"I wanted to too, but there were so many people toasting me yesterday that I accidentally drank too much." Zhou Chaoyang felt helpless.
Not to mention the people in the Youth League Institute. Their composition is complex, with people from all over the country, and those who can drink and those who can't drink are all together.
But the total number of people in the Youth League Home is not as large as the villagers in the construction team.
My goodness, these people, according to what they say, drinking one pound is just the base.
Without the weight of two or three kilograms, I dare not speak loudly.
"Haha, you can't do it!" Zhou Ziwen laughed.
This was just what he said. If it were someone else, Zhou Chaoyang might have turned hostile.
Zhou Chaoyang had a dark face and remained silent.
He really didn't dare to refute this. Not everyone is as beastly as Zhou Ziwen, who drinks alcohol like water. As long as his stomach can hold it, he will drink as much as he wants.
Zhou Ziwen drank at least ten kilograms of the thirty kilograms of wine he bought yesterday.
Although he went to the bathroom several times during the trip, his unrivaled drinking capacity was clearly evident.
"Brother Zhou, are you going to chop wood?"
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Zhou Chaoyang asked.
"Yeah, picking firewood is boring, let's just go to the mountains to chop it." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Although it is convenient to pick up branches and leaves, they are not durable. Since we are here, we have to cut down a tree to take back.
"Okay." Zhou Chaoyang nodded quickly.
He asked Brother Zhou to join him just for this!
He thought the leaves he picked up were too few, and he didn't dare to go too deep to cut down trees. Now that he had Zhou Ziwen with him, he was no longer afraid.
Zhou Ziwen's reputation as a martial artist had long spread throughout the village. Some of the little guys in the village heard about it and even wanted to become his disciples.
However, Zhou Ziwen has been busy during this period and has no time to play with the children.
It’s okay to teach when I have free time.
Under the leadership of Zhou Ziwen, the two went deep into the mountains and forests, and picked wild vegetables and fruits when they encountered them on the way.
Zhou Chaoyang didn’t understand much about these, but Zhou Ziwen knew a little.
Although I don’t know much, it’s enough for now.
The main reason is that there are only two AFK positions. Bajiquan needs to be AFK all the time, and recently he is planning to grow mushrooms, so the second AFK position is also not vacant.
If you want to improve other skills, you can only wait until the third idle position is opened next month.
There are quite a few dead trees in the mountains. The last time Zhou Ziwen came, he found two. He only cut down one, and there was still one left.
This time there is one more Zhou Chaoyang, so one is definitely not enough, and we have to continue searching.
"Chaoyang, just cut down the tree here. I'll look for it somewhere else." Zhou Ziwen brought him to the dead tree they found last time and spoke.
"Okay, Brother Zhou."
When they arrived at the mountain, Zhou Chaoyang listened to him and immediately picked up the axe and started chopping.
However, Zhou Chaoyang is not very strong, so it will probably take him a long time to cut down the tree.
Seeing that he was busy, Zhou Ziwen did not delay and continued to move in other directions.
After picking and choosing along the way, the backpack was half full when I finally found another dead tree.
"Get started."
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Ziwen didn't delay and started working with an axe.
His strength was not comparable to Zhou Chaoyang's. One blow from the axe could leave a deep cut.
In less than a few minutes, he had chopped down a pine tree as thick as a thigh.
When he carried the tree to Zhou Chaoyang, the boy was still working hard on the tree, making a "hey yo" sound.
Zhou Ziwen saw that this kid was not lazy and had chopped off most of the wood in just a short time.
"You take a break, let me do it."
Zhou Ziwen put down the tree on his shoulder and strode forward with an axe in hand.
With a few strokes of the axe, he chopped down the dead tree.
"Brother Zhou, you are too strong. This tree is so hard. I have been chopping it for a long time and almost couldn't cut it anymore." Zhou Chaoyang looked at this scene with mixed feelings.
Compared to Brother Zhou, why does he seem like a weakling?
"I have practiced boxing for more than ten years. Do you think it was all in vain?" Zhou Ziwen glanced at him and explained casually.
Although he did not practice boxing since childhood, his Bajiquan level 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 had not practiced boxing since he was a child.
If he had the same strong physical fitness as Zhou Ziwen, life in the countryside would not be so difficult.
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go home."
"By the way, can you carry this tree?"
Zhou Ziwen glanced at the dead tree lying on the ground, then looked at Zhou Chaoyang's body, and asked uncertainly.
"Yes, of course!"
Zhou Chaoyang patted his chest.
Although he knew that he was no match for Zhou Ziwen, he was not so helpless.
It's just a tree. Even if I can't carry it back, I have to drag it back.
"Then let's go!"
Seeing Zhou Chaoyang's confident look, Zhou Ziwen was a little skeptical.
But this matter still depends on him. It’s not that he can’t help, but relying on him for help is definitely not an option.
Helping once or twice is not a big deal, but if it happens too many times, their relationship may deteriorate.
On the way back, Zhou Ziwen's worries were indeed not unnecessary.
Zhou Chaoyang couldn't carry on any longer after only walking halfway.
"How is it? Is it okay?" Zhou Ziwen stopped and asked.
"Brother Zhou, you go first. I'll talk to you after I rest for a while." Zhou Chaoyang waved his hand angrily.
"Okay, then go slower." Zhou Ziwen nodded but did not offer to help.
