Age: My Small World

Chapter 85: Chopping Wood (Fifth Update, First Order Request)

At noon, we still went to Nanying Lane to practice horse stance.

Mr. Hu would take him to walk on the plum blossom pile every day to experience the steps and strength. Almost every step was different. It would probably take a lot of time to fully grasp the essence of it.

Fortunately, Yang Jun had the spiritual water to recover, and his mental strength was stronger than before, so his learning ability was also improving.

"Master, I'm going back to school first."

Yang Jun was sweating all over, so he washed his face with the water in the yard before leaving.

"Go ahead, go ahead. You've already left and you've made a mess of water in the yard." Mr. Hu slammed the front door and waved his hand unhappily.

However, after he left, the old man couldn't help but sigh: "What a good seedling! He got started so quickly."

"It's a good thing I accepted him as my disciple, otherwise this talent would have been wasted. This old man really needs to show off some unique skills."

Muttering, he began to rummage through the drawers.

As for Yang Jun, when he returned home at night, he still had to carry his backpack and go to the mountains. He had to collect firewood as assigned.

As for digging earthworms, it is better to leave it to younger children.

Xiao Yuer also wanted to go together, and she was carrying a smaller backpack.

The two bamboo strips on the small shoulders are very tight, and after a long time, the flesh on the shoulders will swell up.

The backpacks are all made of woven bamboo. Since the straps cannot be replaced with cotton ones, they are simply replaced with bamboo strips.

"Brother Xiaoshan, do you want me to help you pick it up later?"

Cheng Xiaoyu appeared in front of him with a smile on her face, without any complaints about her work.

Compared with my previous life, things at home are actually better.

"Little girl, do I need your help?" Yang Jun raised the hatchet in his hand.

To collect firewood, you have to cut some dead trees. There are piles of firewood all over the ground in the mountains.

If there are no dead trees, it is common to cut down a few fast-growing pine trees.

Pine trees have a high oil content, so they burn more completely. In addition, the pine needle ashes can be made into wood ash, so it is common to use pine trees as firewood.

"I was the one who helped you before." Cheng Xiaoyu muttered.

Seeing that he had already walked forward, I hurried to catch up.

Xiaoqian Mountain doesn’t look high, but it is actually covered with vegetation. There is also a large forest at the foot of the mountain, which gives it a bit of a mountain atmosphere.

On weekdays, people go to this woods to look for firewood.

The weather today is much better than yesterday.

It was sunny at noon and blue sky at night.

Because it was getting close to evening, there was a hint of red glow, which was a sign of the setting sun.

"Xiao Yu'er, hurry up and pick up some. It will be dark in an hour or two." He secretly glanced at his watch. It was exactly six forty-five.

It only took fifteen minutes to get back for dinner, otherwise it would have been even later.

"Brother Xiaoshan, take care of yourself first."

The little girl gave him a sweet giggle and then displayed her outrageous strength.

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu bending down from time to time, Yang Jun also picked up the things.

The periphery had been mostly picked up, so they headed towards the center.

"what?"

While looking for firewood, Yang Jun did not give up looking around to see if there was any material worth putting into the space.

Soon he was attracted by a mushroom on the ground.

No, it should be said that it is a plate.

"Isn't this a mushroom?"

"Well, the correct term is wild enoki mushrooms. I didn't expect there are so many of them growing here in Shandong Province." Under a dead tree stump, a large plate of wild enoki mushrooms grew on it, with yellow, slimy mushroom heads sticking out.

Compared with enoki mushrooms, wild enoki mushrooms actually taste better. They are a good choice for making soup or stir-frying meat, and the taste is very delicious.

Now that he had met him, Yang Jun had no intention of letting him go.

He simply broke off a piece of dead wood, and then put the whole plate of wild enoki mushrooms into the small world.

"With a mother mushroom like this, it should be able to reproduce quickly."

However, thinking of the growth needs of mushrooms, he began to look for wooden stakes, trying to get more and put them in the space so that the mushrooms would have a place to grow.

During the process, we also found some wild wood ear mushrooms and picked them up as well.

"As for the so-called mountain and sea delicacies, you don't have to eat wild animals in the mountains. These wild delicacies are also quite good."

When he saw a mulberry appear, he couldn't help swallowing.

"It's already this season, and there are still mulberries to eat."

This wild mulberry should be in late season, so it is ripe now. The fruits are not particularly plump, but they are very delicious.

We don’t have fruit to eat in the village for very long, so it tastes really good when we eat it occasionally.

He deliberately left some for the little fish on the side, and then pulled up the small mulberry tree and put it into the space.

He looked around and found two more mulberry trees, both of which were full of mulberries. Some of them looked messy, and he didn't know whether they were eaten by birds or villagers.

There were not many ripe fruits on the tree before, probably because they were seen by people who came into the mountains and eaten all of them.

"Three mulberry trees, nurtured with spiritual water for a period of time, should have no shortage of mulberries to eat."

With the fragrance of fruit in her mouth, she was waving a hatchet when she found the little fish.

The two were not far apart. Seeing him coming, Cheng Xiaoyu wiped the sweat off his face and asked, "Brother Xiaoshan, I saw you pulling up trees over there. What are you doing?"

"Small trees cannot be burned and cannot be used as firewood," she added.

"I'll just help you chop wood later, don't waste your energy."

Despite her small body, she seemed to have endless energy, still shouting and swinging her knife.

But then it was snatched away by Yang Jun.

"Okay, you've been chatting for a while, take a break. I brought you some delicious food."

Yang Jun pursed his lips, and she saw purple mulberries, not too many, just a small handful.

"Yeah, you found Sangzi."

She put one in her mouth in surprise, and the sweetness made her close her eyes quickly in satisfaction.

"So sweet, so delicious."

At this time, Yang Jun had already cut down trees for her.

This is a dead tree. The upper half is completely dry, but there are still some green leaves at the bottom of the lower half.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't rush to grab the hatchet, but looked at his gradually emerging muscle lines with some surprise.

The slender appearance of his arms has completely disappeared. Although there are no exaggerated muscles on his arms, they are streamlined. When he swings the hatchet, the lines dance along with it, and the posture is really beautiful.

"When did you become so strong?"

But when I think about how he carried me on his back yesterday, it doesn't seem so sudden.

Yang Jun did not hold back. He used all his strength to chop down the dead tree in two or three strokes, and then cut it into pieces that were easy to carry.

"Brother Xiaoshan, wait for me."

Seeing how hard he was working, Xiao Yuer quickly pulled out his knife and came over to work together.

Just this one tree filled the two men's backpacks to the brim, so they hurried back.

　Thanks to the book friend Wei Wumendisciple for the reward, and the new book is looking for the first order
