At the end of the world, many people have not activated their superpowers. They live numbly every day, not daring to die, and having no way to save their lives. They can only survive in the base like a machine day after day, with no hope or expectation in their eyes, and live one day at a time.
Lin Mo held the axe and shook his head miserably. This was the first time he had done such a thing in his two lifetimes.
The original owner had never been to the mountains because of his frail health, so he really didn't know how to do technical work like chopping wood.
Glancing at Su Mu who had already chopped half a bundle of firewood, Lin Mo quickly found a small tree that he liked and took turns chopping with the axe.
Generally, farmers don’t need much firewood at this time of year. The busy farming season has just ended, and the able-bodied laborers in the family have just become idle, so most of them go out to find work.
Most of the firewood Su Mu chops now is sent to wealthy families in exchange for some money to supplement the family income.
The summer sun is so warm that the world seems to be shrouded in a steamer. It is so hot that people's mouths are dry and their sweat is dripping, especially when they are still doing this strenuous work.
After doing this for several days in a row, Lin Mo was almost out of breath every day due to exhaustion. It was not that he could not bear it, but the original owner's body was too weak. He could fall asleep as soon as he lay down when he returned home at night.
However, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. My health has obviously improved a lot in the past few days, and my relationship with Su Mu has also become much more harmonious.
At least now Su Mu has adapted to his presence and will occasionally take the initiative to talk to him.
It was another early morning, the sun had just risen, and the road in the mountains was still very muddy. Every step would leave a layer of mud sticking to your feet. Lin Mo took a deep breath. Apart from the fresh air, Lin Mo felt uncomfortable everywhere.
When it rains, the narrow paths in the village are all covered with muddy soil. When you step on it, a layer of mud will cover your feet. Almost every house is a rough-finished or thatched house, which makes it damp inside.
He has been trying hard to think of ways to make money during this period, but this place is too poor. Even if there are many people, it is useless. They are all farmers who work hard in the fields and rarely go out throughout the year. It takes several hours to go to town to go to the market.
From his memory, he knew that this country was called Dahua, and it was considered a great country.
The current emperor in power is a good emperor who works hard and loves his people. He mainly develops agriculture and commerce, attaches importance to farming, lifts the maritime ban, and has exchanges with many countries. The war era is over, and now is the development stage.
It seems that if you want to make money, you have to go out at least. Fortunately, there is no war. In peacetime, it is very easy for a modern man like Lin Mo to get rich.
"Don't go any further. There are many wild animals in the deep mountains and it's easy to get into trouble." Su Mu couldn't help but feel worried as he watched Lin Mo going deeper and deeper into the mountains. Every year, several people would die hunting in the mountains, and he didn't want Lin Mo to die like this.
Hearing Su Mu's concern, Lin Mo immediately ran back, smiling like a big fool who had eaten candy, "Little Wood, are you worried about me? Don't worry, I'm very capable."
He originally wanted to go to the mountains to find two wild pheasants. Although this ancient mountain village was poor, there was a lot of game in the mountains, and Lin Mo had long wanted to go and see it.
"Xiao Mu, are you coming tomorrow?" If he came, he would go home and pick some seasonings to catch two pheasants and roast them. Otherwise, he would eat brown rice stewed with wild vegetables every day, and his mouth would be dry.
"I am here." Su Mu nodded, his ears turning red. He didn't want Lin Mo to call him that, but every time the other party agreed, he would forget it as soon as he turned around.
"I have to go up the mountain during this period of time." At least he has to come here every day this month. The busy farming season at home has just ended, and his next schedule has been clearly arranged by Su Yun.
"That's good. I'll wait for you at the door tomorrow."
"Um……"
In the past few days, he had been wanting to go deep into the mountains to take a look, but Su Mu was not willing to let him go. At that time, they were not familiar with each other, and he was afraid of angering Su Mu, so that he would not come to chop wood in the future, and he would be miserable.
But no matter what, he would go up the mountain to get some game to eat tomorrow.
"Little Wood, do you have any dreams? Your thoughts about the future?" Lin Mo said to Su Mu while bundling the chopped firewood.
Seeing his puzzled look, she quickly explained, "I'm saying if you have anything you want, I'll make a lot of money in the future. When you marry me, I'll buy you whatever you want."
future?
Su Mu stopped what he was doing, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. What future did he have? Getting married was impossible, and when he got older, he was afraid... his mother would sell him to a human trafficker.
Thinking about the conversation between Su Yun and Su Gui that he had overheard last night, Su Mu's face turned even paler.
