Chapter 1 The young man chopping wood
Thousands of miles of ice in the north, thousands of miles of snow, a vast expanse of whiteness.In Beiliang country, where the wild mountains are, birds and beasts are rare at this time, and most of the wealthy households are already hiding in their homes, warming themselves by burning charcoal fires.However, at the foot of the mountain to the east of Qingzhu County, a group of teenagers were wearing black single clothes at this time, waving long knives in their hands over and over again in the severe cold.

A middle-aged martial artist on the high platform looked at the youngsters who were practicing on the school field with eagle-like sharp eyes.

Lu Xiaotian was wearing a gray fur coat, with a hatchet stuck in his belt, and looked enviously at the Leidaomen disciples who were practicing saber techniques on the school grounds.

"Hurry up, dawdle, if you don't cut enough firewood today, you won't have dinner!"

A middle-aged man in the back who was also wearing a thick gray jacket scolded with dignity on his face.

"What did you say, try saying it again!" At this time, a young man who was half a head taller than Lu Xiaotian strode towards the gate of the outer hall, and shouted coldly when he heard the middle-aged man's words.

"Brother Shi!"

Lu Xiaotian was overjoyed when he heard the voice, it was Shi Qingshan who came from Huyang Village like him, but Shi Qingshan is the pride of Huyang Village, he was selected as an outer disciple by Leidaomen at a young age, because With outstanding talent, he became an inner disciple in less than a year.

In the past in Huyang Village, he had the best relationship with Shi Qingshan.Last year, the mountain village was hit by a drought, and the family added a younger brother and a younger sister. The only land could not support so many people.Shi Qingshan brought him to Leidaomen, but because he had no talent in martial arts, he worked as a handyman in Leidaomen, doing some chores such as carrying water, cooking rice, and chopping firewood.Although it is hard work, at least I can survive in this poor and chaotic world.

"It turned out to be a senior from the inner sect, little, I'm so rude, I don't know that Xiaotian is an acquaintance of this senior, please forgive me if I offend you!" Zhao Guanshi, who usually flaunts his power in the chores, turned pale. , hurriedly apologized to Shi Qingshan and Lu Xiaotian.Not to mention the disciples of the inner sect, even he is just a handyman in charge of affairs, not for a long time, even the upper disciples of the outer sect, he can't afford to offend.

"Brother Shi, Guanshi Zhao is also worried that I won't be able to cut enough firewood within the stipulated time. If there is no other malice, don't blame him, Brother Shi."

Lu Xiaotian excused Zhao Guanshi, staying in the handyman's room for so long, although he didn't have any martial arts, but he was much more proficient in human relations than Shi Qingshan, it didn't matter that Shi Qingshan offended Zhao Guanshi, but he would be He wants to work in Zhao Guanshi's hands for a long time.If steward Zhao is replaced, there may not be a more tricky and mean steward in the future, and life will be difficult.

"Forget it, since Xiaotian interceded for you, let's forget about it today, and let me see you bullying Xiaotian next time, you will feel better. Get out soon." Shi Qingshan gave Zhao Guanshi a fierce look.

"Yes, I don't dare anymore." Manager Zhao nodded again and again, in a panic, he left as if fleeing.

"The punishment hall is too tight. I have practiced the wind splitting sword technique to the third level this time, and the master only let me out for two days to rest, so I have no time to see you until now." After driving away Manager Zhao, Shi Qingshan said to Lu Xiaotian apologetically.

"Great, Brother Shi, the more powerful you are, the less people will dare to bully me in the handyman's room." Lu Xiaotian said happily.

"No, whoever dares to bully Xiaotian, I will definitely beat him to his knees begging for mercy." Shi Qingshan said with incomparable pride.

While the two were talking, a pair of teenagers who were also wearing white dresses and another girl who looked particularly beautiful stood not far in front, beckoning to Shi Qingshan, "Senior Brother Shi, why are you still standing there? Hurry up, we are going to visit the county town."

Lu Xiaotian saw that someone was waiting for Shi Qingshan, so he said, "Brother Shi, there is someone waiting for you in front, you go and do it first, I'm going to chop firewood, and I have to complete the task today."

"It just so happens that I'm free today, so I'll help you chop firewood." Shi Qingshan shook his head.

"No need, I have to go every day, and it won't take long. Brother Shi, you managed to rest for two days, and don't spend it on trivial things like chopping firewood." Lu Xiaotian pushed Shi Qingshan and said, but Shi Qingshan practiced martial arts. For several years, his body was strong and healthy, but it was not something he could push.

"Okay, then I'll go out first, and bring you some delicious food back." Shi Qingshan was also a little moved, after all, he was a teenager at heart, usually practiced martial arts hard, and now he was free, and wanted to go to the lively county town .

"Okay, then thank Brother Shi."

Lu Xiaotian waved his hand, turned around and stepped on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow in the direction of the back mountain.Looking back, seeing Shi Qingshan walking away talking and laughing with the other two juniors, Lu Xiaotian, who had a smile on his face, suddenly felt lonely.This is the difference between warriors and handymen, they are in two completely different worlds.

But it might be fate, I don't have the talent to practice martial arts, no matter how hard I try, I'm still just a handyman.Still thinking about how to chop more firewood and go back to work.

There are still a few days before the salary will be paid. Thinking of the two silver beans he saved, he couldn't help but smile again. Every once in a while, he would send some money back home, but he also saved After saving some money, I went to the city to learn a living skill.Whether it's carpentry or blacksmithing, Lei Daomen is good, but the handyman is always just a servant. Even if he can't become a warrior, he doesn't want to be just a servant who looks at people's faces forever.

Holding the two silver beans in your arms is like carrying your own dreams.He felt that the snow that was usually difficult to walk on was not so difficult to walk on.The mountain behind the sect is a vast jungle, and the rolling hills can't see the edge.

When Lu Xiaotian walked into the forest, he didn't cut firewood immediately. Instead, he took out a patched fishing net from a hidden cave, spread it among several trees, and took out a fishing net from his arms. Bao Guzi was thrown on the snow under the fishing net.

After he clapped his hands, he took out the hatchet in satisfaction, walked for a while, found a rotten tree in the forest full of trees, and chopped it with the knife.

card!
card!
The sharp hatchet slashed one after another on the tree that was not too thick, and the snow on the tree fell from time to time. Lu Xiaotian knocked off the snow residue on his body from time to time, and then swung the knife again.

After slashing more than two hundred knives, the not too thick tree trunk crashed to the ground, splashing the residual snow on his face.

Under such severe cold, a trace of heat rose from his body as he swung the knife repeatedly.Nearly two hours later, Lu Xiaotian put the chopped firewood into the basket and packed it.It is estimated that this will be able to check the traps arranged.

During this period of time, he was able to help his family and save some money. Apart from frugality, he mostly relied on catching wild animals from the mountains. Although he could not hunt big beasts, some pheasants and tits were enough for him to be happy. It's been a while.

cuckoo
He heard the crowing and thumping of pheasants from a distance, and Lu Xiaotian was overjoyed. He heard that there was more than one pheasant. It seemed that today was a bumper harvest.Hearing the movement, Lu Xiaotian had extra motivation, and his steps were a little lighter than usual.

However, a low roar made Lu Xiaotian, who was walking fast, all the hairs on his body suddenly stand on end.

Lu Xiaotian held the handle of the hatchet tightly with both hands, and searched every gap between the trees with his eyes, while leaning his back against the trunk of a big tree.

Soon, a blue wolf the size of a calf slowly came out of the woods, with fierce eyes and a pair of sharp canine teeth.Roaring, he approached Lu Xiaotian step by step.

With the appearance of the blue wolf, Lu Xiaotian's joy of catching the pheasant disappeared, replaced by only the tension and fear from the heart.Even for an old hunter like his father, it would be very dangerous to encounter such a giant wolf in the mountains, and now he is only a boy in his early ten years old.

Lu Xiaotian couldn't help feeling annoyed that he didn't let Shi Qingshan come with him just now. If Brother Shi, a martial artist who has already started, was there, he would be able to fight this blue wolf.Now he can only brandish the hatchet and yell to threaten the lone wolf in front of him.

No, it's not a lone wolf. On the right side of the jungle, there was another green wolf with a smaller body. Lu Xiaotian felt desperate. It's ten deaths and no life!
