Become a Taoist from a woodcutter

Chapter 5 The Southern Mine Collapse

Chu Jiang entered the mountain with a pole and an ax.

When he came to the mountain forest again, Chu Jiang first went to the crape myrtle tree and looked, but there was still nothing.

He already understood in his heart that the appearance of fate should be the reason for the thousand-year-old crape myrtle tree.

We walked for a while, looking for dry firewood and rotten wood in the forest.

As a professional woodcutter, he naturally does not cut down trees whenever he sees them, but looks for fallen branches and rotten trees.

Cutting down trees casually will only damage the environment and ecology. Fresh trees also need to be dried, which is more troublesome.

Zhang Ji's shop also collects this kind of dry firewood.

Only when some noble people build houses and need pillars, they will cut down the big trees.

There was a lot of firewood in the mountains, and Chu Jiang quickly collected almost all of it, when he came across a small dead tree.

After bundling the firewood, it was much heavier than before, but Chu Jiang felt light and airy.

A load of firewood used to feel heavy to him and he needed to walk and rest.

But today, this load of firewood was as light as nothing and had no impact.

Reborn, his strength also increased!

He went to the bamboo forest again, found a bamboo, and took it back to make a fishing rod.

"This bamboo is so tough." Chu Jiang was surprised. In the past, he could almost cut it with an axe.

But now, his strength increased, and he actually used three axes to cut the bamboo.

This must be a good fishing rod!

He walked briskly and climbed over mountains and ridges without feeling tired.

He didn't even take a breath.

Went to the town and sold firewood and got 20 cents.

I went home and changed my fishing rods, fried yesterday's white fish sticks in meat and water, and paired them with soju, planning to have a simple meal.

"Is Brother Jiang here?"

A call came, and Chu Yingcai walked in, looked at the fried fish on the table, and picked up one without politeness: "Just right, this is all I need."

"What are you missing?" Chu Jiang asked, "Would you like some wine?"

"No, take the fried fish to my house and stew the chicken. My brother asked me to call you." Chu Yingcai said.

"I won't go. There are five of you in your family, and one chicken is not enough for you." Chu Jiang said.

Chu Jun's parents, mother-in-law, and Chu Yingcai make up a family of five.

"Hey, I have something to discuss with you. I've stewed two chickens." Chu Yingcai held the fish and said, "Let's go, I'm waiting for you."

Chu Jiang stood up and left with him.

The distance between the two families is not far, only a few hundred meters.

As soon as I arrived at the small courtyard, I smelled the aroma of stewed chicken.

Chu Jun stood up and asked him to sit down. Chu Jiang said: "Uncle Yue, aunt, sister-in-law, why are you so rich today?"

"Xiao Jiang'er, sit down first." Chu Yue, who had half-white hair, greeted: "Xiangyu, serve rice to Brother Jiang."

Chu Jun's mother-in-law stood up and filled a bowl of rice. Chu Jiang thanked her and sat down.

Chu Jun also poured two bowls of wine and said: "I'll be honest, I want you to take care of Yingcai. This bastard is always out of tune and has no appearance."

"What do you mean?" Chu Jiang frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

Chu Yingcai couldn't study, so he thought about going hunting in the mountains with Chu Jun. However, when he was just thirteen years old, both father and son were worried about him going into the mountains.

Some time ago, I hung out with some ruffians in the town and got into a fight.

If Chu Jun hadn't brought someone there in time, this kid would have definitely suffered a loss.

"It's not about San Lunzi." Chu Jun said: "Three Lunzi hasn't come back today. Big Bear and Er Xiong are going crazy. Chu Dashan blames himself so much that he is still looking for someone in the mountains."

"San Lunzi didn't come back?" Chu Jiang was shocked: "You are going to find San Lunzi?" "We all hunted together. We can't write two characters "chu" in one stroke. Big Bear also used his Barbaric Bear Skill. , whoever finds the person, regardless of life or death, will be rewarded with the Barbaric Bear Kung Fu.”

Chu Yue said.

"Just his Barbarian Bear Kung Fu?" Chu Jiang sneered: "Uncle Yue, you don't know that his father wanted to open a martial arts gym, but he was beaten so hard that he ran around with his head in his hands. Is that martial arts useful?"

The three brothers, Big Bear, Second Bear and Third Bear, are also more stunned than the other.

The Barbarian Bear Kung Fu is passed down in my family, and I heard that I can develop the strength of a bear, one stronger than the other.

Their father, Chu Xiongnan, once wanted to open a martial arts gym, but he took the initiative to challenge him at the martial arts gym. He was beaten so hard that he ran around with his head in his hands. He never mentioned it again after that.

On the other hand, the current Big Bear, I heard that he has mastered the Barbarian Bear Skill and has a lot of strength. He works at the dock on weekdays and carries the most things every day.

"You can always increase your strength. Big Bear's current strength is three to four hundred kilograms."

Chu Yue said: "Besides, if it's not for the sake of the Barbarian Bear Skill, it's also right to help each other in times of difficulty."

Chu Jiang thought about it: "Are you worried that no one will watch the talented person, so he will fight with others?"

"Brother Jiang, I just want to do something, whether it's collecting firewood or fishing with you." Chu Yingcai said, "I know they don't trust me. The firewood is all yours, so I'll follow you to give them peace of mind." .”

"You little brat." Chu Jiang chuckled and said, "But don't run around, and you don't have to collect firewood."

After getting Chu Jiang's consent, the four members of the family breathed a sigh of relief. They were worried about Chu Yingcai.

Every day in the mountains, I worry about whether this bastard will cause trouble.

"By the way, don't go south recently. I heard that the mine vein there collapsed and many people died." Chu Yue suddenly said.

"The mineral vein in the south has collapsed?" Chu Jiang's expression changed.

He only knew that the big danger in the south should be in the mountains, but he didn't expect it to be the mineral veins in the south.

"We still have mineral veins to the south?" Chu Yingcai asked in surprise.

"There is an iron ore vein, and the county magistrate has sent people to guard it. No one thought that the vein would collapse. Now the county magistrate will be in big trouble."

Chu Yue shook his head and said: "Don't forget to go over there. The mine vein collapsed and people died. The county magistrate has nowhere to vent his anger."

Chu Yingcai shrank his neck. No matter how indifferent he was, he knew that the county magistrate was an official he could not afford to offend.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

Chu Jun greeted and everyone started eating.

After having a meal until late at night, Chu Jiang went home to rest.

Early the next morning, Chu Jiang communicated with the compass again to check whether the day would be good or bad.

There is great danger in the south, while the rest of the directions are calm.

He took Chu Yingcai into the mountains to collect firewood.

Chu Yue took Chu Jun and the Orion team into the mountains to look for the three fools.

With Chu Yingcai's help, he harvested two loads of firewood. Of course, he picked it back, but Chu Yingcai was too weak.

Chu Yingcai was forced to pay ten cents. He also spent a lot of effort collecting firewood, so he couldn't really give him nothing.

On the third day, we checked the fortune as usual. There was water vapor in all directions, and it rained today.

There are no waves in the west, but there is another sign of great misfortune in the east, which should be in the water.

There is a sign of great misfortune in the south, but it is pure black energy, emerging from the grass and trees.

It should be in the woods!

The water in the north is sparkling and glowing red, a small sign of good luck!

"Brother Jiang, are you going to collect firewood today?" Chu Yingcai came over and said, "I think the weather is a bit cloudy."

"I'm not going. Go back, put on your raincoat, get your fishing rod, and go fishing today," Chu Jiang said.

"Okay, I'll dig for earthworms." Chu Yingcai said excitedly. He had long wanted to fish.

After experiencing the novice benefits, it is really addictive.
