Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

It was still early, so Liu Jingxue decided to go to the mountain to collect firewood.

It was already the end of September and she didn't have much time left. She had to store enough firewood to last the winter.

We also have to help my uncle and his family prepare enough firewood.

If I don't do it myself, do I really want them to drag their tired bodies to the mountains in the dark to collect firewood after a tiring day?

Although the captain was the old chief's former subordinate, he did not dare to take care of them openly, but only looked after them secretly.

After all, they were people who had been demoted, so he didn't dare to treat them preferentially, for fear of causing trouble for his family or the team.

He simply didn't dare to go up the mountain to collect firewood for them.

Even I could only deliver the firewood to them when it was dark and no one was around.

Since I have the cheating artifact of space, I don’t need to carry bundles of firewood home. I can put them into the space when no one is around and then take them out when I get home.

It's much easier than going to the mountains to collect firewood themselves.

After making up her mind, Liu Jingxue put on rubber shoes, took her newly bought axe, and went up the mountain to chop wood.

When going up the mountain, Liu Jingxue took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and went around to the cowshed. She asked Tuanzi to help scan and make sure that there was no one in the cowshed.

I guess everyone is busy harvesting in the fields, so I can only come over at night.

Liu Jingxue went up the mountain along the road pointed out by the team leader.

I looked around the outskirts, but didn't find much firewood, perhaps because the villagers were collecting firewood in the mountains all year round.

She walked inside.

After walking for a while, I started to gain some results.

But they were all dead branches, some of which had already fallen to the ground, and some of which you had to go to the trees and break off from the trees yourself.

It took a long time to finally gather enough firewood.

Liu Jingxue got some sturdy vines to tie up the firewood and put it into the space.

This bundle of firewood may be enough for cooking two meals.

“This won’t do.

At this rate, the kang cannot be kept shut for three meals a day and for several months in winter.

If you want to get enough firewood in the open by picking up these dead branches, it will take a long time."

What's more, besides being responsible for his own firewood, he also has to prepare the firewood for his uncle and others in the cowshed.

I have to go to work the day after tomorrow, and I leave work an hour earlier every day, so I can't collect much firewood.

It’s almost October and there’s not much time left for myself.

Liu Jingxue felt a little anxious.

Or just stop picking up these dead branches and go find those dead trees directly.

I brought back a dead tree, and it should be enough for me to burn for about ten days.

In this way, from October to the end of March, a total of six months, it should be enough to get more than 20 dead trees.

Over in the cowshed, my uncle and aunt probably lived in the same room, and the old chief was my uncle's old leader, so he deliberately hung out with him with the idea of ​​taking care of him.

Since my uncle and his men wanted to take care of the old leader, I had to do as he said. Otherwise, they would give the firewood to the old leader and they would be left to suffer the cold. I would just have to watch them.

Since the old leader has been taken care of, the other person lives under the same roof with the three of them and sleeps on the same kang. It is impossible to leave him out alone, so naturally he has to be taken care of as well.

Over there in the cowshed, there are probably two kangs.

They have a large population, so they need more firewood for their three meals a day, and more firewood for heating the kang than we do here. So we should prepare 2.5 times as much as we do, and get more than dead trees, which should be enough.

Liu Jingxue has been a southerner for both of her lives, so she has no idea how much firewood is needed to heat the kang in the Northeast in winter, so she can only make an estimate.

This requires preparing eighty dead trees.

The more Liu Jingxue thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

"That's not right. According to your calculation, if a family has two kangs, they will need more than fifty dead trees in one winter.

There are so many households in the village, at least more than a hundred. Some families have large populations and more than two kangs. So the number of trees consumed throughout the year must be tens of thousands.

If so, this mountain would have been barren long ago, how could it be so lush and green? "

Liu Jingxue looked at the dense woods around her and wondered if she had calculated wrongly.

There was no one else around, so Liu Jingxue had no choice but to ask Tuanzi.

"Tuanzi, when you followed your master to travel the mortal world, have you ever seen a kang heated?"

"Master, the two previous masters were both monks, and they were protected by robes, which kept them warm in winter and cool in summer. They were not afraid of the cold at all.

The secular world at that time was not so cold because it was rich in spiritual energy, had some low-level skills circulating, and there were also many formations.

Therefore, I have no idea how much firewood is needed to heat the kang in winter here.”

“Whatever, it’s better to have more than less.

Even after winter is over, we still need to light fires to cook, and firewood will not be wasted. "

In the following time, Liu Jingxue asked Tuanzi to help her look for dead trees in the mountains.

After Tuanzi was found, she used an axe to chop down the tree.

Fortunately, she was very strong, and a tree that others would take half a day to cut down could be cut down by her with just a few strokes of the axe, saving a lot of trouble.

But even so, it took a lot of time to find dead trees in the mountains, and it also took time to cut down the trees. Therefore, it took her two hours to store four dead trees into the space.

"This won't work. At this rate, I need to collect 80 dead trees. Even if I work an hour earlier every day, I'm afraid I won't be able to collect the firewood I need by the end of October.

It seems we have to think of other ways.”

“Master, the villagers collect firewood from the forests around the village every year, and those easy-to-find dead trees have long been cut down by them.

I don't know how long it will take you to get enough firewood from here.

Unless you go deep into the mountains, where it is too dangerous and the villagers dare not go, the dead trees have not been cut down, so it should be easy to find. "

"But why do you have to collect firewood outside? Have you forgotten that there is also a forest in our space?

Since it's going to be used as firewood, it doesn't matter where it comes from.

You might as well get firewood from the space."

“I just went to investigate, and there are quite a few dead trees in the forest in our space.

Moreover, in this space, the master is like the creator of the world.

You don't have to do anything, just think about it and those dead trees will fall down.

Let alone eighty dead trees, even if there are more, you can gather them quickly."

After hearing what Tuanzi said, Liu Jingxue suddenly understood.

Yes, how could I forget the mountain in the space.

When I was in Xinshi and went to hide the treasure in the cave, I also collected some prey and raised them in the mountains. How come I have forgotten about it now?

This is really a dark place under the lamp.

"Tuanzi, you are so right, how could I have forgotten it.

With it in place, I can't get any more firewood.

Why would I need to go out and look for dead trees all over the mountain?"

Liu Jingxue was overjoyed and asked Tuanzi to scan the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, she quickly slipped into the space.

After arriving at the space, Liu Jingxue quickly teleported to the high mountain.

Thinking about the locations of all the dead trees on the mountain, a 3D image of all the dead trees on the mountain immediately appeared in her mind.

This function was taught to her by Tuanzi when she was checking the items stored in the warehouse. Today was the first time she used it on the mountain.

After selecting a dead tree, Liu Jingxue immediately teleported in front of the dead tree.

As soon as a thought passed, the horse standing on the withered tree was completely broken.

Another thought flashed through his mind, and the branches of the dead tree that had fallen to the ground immediately detached from the trunk and automatically tied themselves into bundles.
