C3 Woodcutter
"No!" Lin Yue suddenly woke up with sweat all over his forehead.
He found himself still lying on the broken wooden board, the mottled moonlight shining on his body.
Someone beside him was shocked by Lin Yue. They just mumbled a few words as if they were talking in their sleep, then fell asleep again.
"Phew!" Lin Yue wiped his sweat and heaved a long sigh of relief. "So it was just a dream."
"En... That's not right!" Lin Yue's expression changed dramatically.
In his mind, a miniature ancient tower was floating quietly.
"Is this all true?" Lin Yue lifted up the clothes in front of him. Yesterday, there was a bloody whip mark, but now it was as smooth as before.
If it wasn't for the blood mark on his clothes reminding him, Lin Yue really wouldn't have believed that he had been whipped yesterday.
He touched the few wounds on his back and found that they were all healed.
"Wonderful, I knew it. How could you not give me some benefits after transmigrating?" Lin Yue knew that it must be because of the ancient pagoda. Otherwise, Moonlight would not be able to heal him.
"In that case, that dog also exists. It really gives me a headache." Lin Yue rubbed his temples.
"The Moon Devouring Dog said that only those who have reached the third level of the Pulse Opening Stage can enter the ancient pagoda. There must be something good inside the pagoda, but how can I start cultivating..."
Lin Yue thought about it for a long time. It was not until he heard the footsteps in the distance that he hastily closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
"Everyone, get up and get to work!" When dawn broke, Da Jin brought some people over and kicked them to wake them up.
Everyone grumbled a few times in dissatisfaction and got up in dissatisfaction.
Da Jin arranged for Lin Yue to go up the mountain to chop firewood. He needed to chop four hundred kilograms a day.
Lin Tian was in charge of carrying the water. Every day, he had to fill up the ten large vats in the vegetable garden five times.
Zhou Dagou, on the other hand, had to pick more than ten feces from the outhouse into the feces pool beside the vegetable field.
Lin Yue looked into the distance. Ten miles away from Royal City of Qin Family was a huge mountain. He needed to go there to chop firewood.
"Lin Yue, you'd better not have any other thoughts. If you want to take the opportunity to run away, your big brother will suffer." Da Jin put on a signboard with a fake smile on his face.
Lin Yue saw a picture of a woodcutter on the sign. Below it was the word woodcutter.
This was the work sign, but it didn't even have a name.
The servants in Qin Family King City were basically illiterate, because reading was a very extravagant thing.
Only rich people could go to the academy to study. Most of the farmers didn't have the money to pay for their children to read, let alone servants with lower social status and income.
Fortunately, the words in this world were similar to the ones in his previous life. Lin Yue basically knew all of them, which was also one of his big secrets.
"People like us don't have fields, and we don't know how to read. We even signed a contract to sell ourselves to the Qin Family. Where can we run to? We can still eat here if we're good or bad. " Lin Yue said. He even deliberately coughed a few times, as if he had drawn a wound. He took a few breaths of cold air.
"It's good that you know. It seems like the whip wasn't for nothing. You have to remember this." Da Jin saw the bloodstains on Lin Yue's clothes and smiled happily. "Hurry up and go. Finish two hundred kilograms of firewood before we can have lunch."
Big brother Lin Tian looked at Lin Yue worriedly. Four hundred kilograms a day was an extremely difficult task.
Feeling Lin Tian's worry, Lin Yue smiled at him. He picked up the firewood knife and rope and slowly set off according to his memory.
After passing through three checkpoints, Lin Yue was finally able to walk out of the Qin Family's Royal City and head towards the big mountain.
Lin Yue walked all the way to the foot of the mountain, and basically no one could be seen in his field of vision. Only then did he remove his disguise and walk with big steps.
Looking at the beautiful scenery around him, his mood improved a lot.
It was midsummer, with green everywhere. White streams flowed, birds chirped, the blue sky and white clouds were clear, and the air was fresh.
After taking a few deep breaths, the air seemed to be filled with a hint of sweetness.
Lin Yue came to a hidden place by the stream, took off his clothes, and took a refreshing bath. He originally planned to wash the clothes that were stained with blood, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Looking at his reflection in the stream, his angular outline, sword-shaped eyebrows, and starry eyes, although he wasn't very handsome, he was still considered handsome.
Lin Yue was now fifteen years old. Due to long-term malnutrition, he was less than 1.6 meters tall, and his weight was more than 80 kilograms. He was very weak.
The task of 400 kilograms of firewood every day was definitely Da Jin making things difficult for him.
Even if he were to carry 100 kilograms every time, he would still need to carry it four times. Every round of return would require two hours, and he would also need an hour to chop firewood. In that case, carrying 100 pounds of firewood would take him three hours, or 400 pounds. It would take at least 12 hours.
In fact, twelve hours was definitely not enough. The speed of walking back with firewood would definitely be very slow. They would need to rest in the middle and it would take even more time.
"What the f * ck Da Jin!" Lin Yue cursed angrily. He put on his clothes and went up to the mountain to start chopping firewood.
His physique was very poor. He needed to rest for a while after chopping wood. After working for more than an hour, he only chopped about 100 pounds of firewood. After tying it up, he started to walk back.
Lin Yue walked and stopped. Just this trip back to the city took him two hours, and he was so tired that he almost collapsed.
"Lin Yue, at this rate, you might not have lunch when you come back. Don't blame me for not warning you when the time comes." Da Jin said jokingly.
Lin Yue ignored him. He wiped his sweat and set off again.
The second time, Lin Yue was no longer in the mood to leave the city for the first time. He was gasping for breath and was very tired.
When he came to the mountain, Lin Yue rested for a while. He found a few mountain fruits to feed himself and started to work.
Wait. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon by the time he returned for the second time.
Lin Yue felt weak all over. He pushed himself to the dining area, only to find that the food was already empty.
"Lao Er." At this time, Lin Tian walked over.
"Big... Big brother." Lin Yue finally shouted out.
Lin Tian felt that Lin Yue was a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it. He stuffed the two buns in his hands into Lin Yue's hands.
"Big brother, what about you?" Lin Yue knew that a person's lunch was just two buns, a bowl of rice porridge, and some salted vegetables.
"My stomach is not feeling well today, so I can't eat it." Lin Tian stuffed the steamed buns into Lin Yue's hands and continued to work.
Lin Yue's eyes were a little moist. Although Lin Tian was only two years older than him, he had always taken care of him like a father.
"Lin Tian, since you and I are brothers in this life, I will definitely not let you be a slave for the rest of your life!" Lin Yue looked at Lin Tian's back and thought to himself.
After eating the mantou and drinking a ladle of cold water, Lin Yue continued his journey.
There were many fruits and wild animals on the mountain, but with Lin Yue's current situation, he did not have the energy to catch a rabbit or a goat. Just the task of 400 catties of firewood had exhausted him.
When Lin Yue left the city for the fourth time, the sky began to turn dark, and the moon came out.
The gentle moonlight shone on Lin Yue's body, making him feel very comfortable. The tiredness all over his body seemed to be gradually dissipating, and the strength gradually gathered back into his body.
"Moonlight... Ancient Tower... Is this really true?" Lin Yue felt that such a magical experience was not real. He squeezed himself and took a deep breath in pain.
"It seems to be true. I need to think of a way to start cultivating!"
