Fleeing from famine! A rough hunter has a fox husband

Chapter 159 Cutting Wood

They stopped when they reached a forest.

The trees in front of me are all ordinary, some big and some small.

All the trees in this forest are dry, without any green leaves, just trunks and strangely extending branches.

There are some tree trunks as big as bowls around, which I guess were cut down by Qin Yan and his team in the morning.

"Brother Yan, let's go over there."

Lin Ping and Qin Yan said something, then took a few people to the other side of the forest.

Qin Yan nodded:

“Don’t go too far away where you can see.”

"okay."

They took their stuff and left.

Shen Nuo glanced at them and thought it would be better for them to disperse.

"Ayan, give me the axe. I want to go chop wood too."

"Wait a moment."

Qin Yan took a few small ropes and helped him tie up his wide sleeves. After making sure that it would not cause any hindrance, he handed him the small axe.

"Cut down some smaller trees, not too big ones."

Shen Nuo nodded:

"Okay, don't worry about me."

Without paying any more attention to Qin Yan, Shen Nuo walked to a small tree.

He swung the axe and chopped down the small tree.

"Rustle~" the snow on the branches fell off.

Shen Nuo's head and body were covered with white snow.

He shook his head like a little animal. He had a hat on his head, so Qin Yan did not go up to help him.

Just watching him out of the corner of my eye.

As long as Shen Nuo was in any danger, Qin Yan would immediately go over and pull him away.

Now that Shen Nuo was no longer in danger, Qin Yan took out an axe and chopped down the slightly larger tree in front of him.

After two axe strikes, a big gash appeared on the tree trunk in front of Qin Yan.

And on Shen Nuo's side.

He shook off all the snow on his body, then raised the small axe and started chopping at the tree.

He glanced at Qin Yan.

The gap on the tree trunk in front of Qin Yan gradually became larger.

He kept bringing the axe to bear on the gap in the trunk, and the gap became deeper.

Qin Yan had almost finished chopping the tree, so he stood up, raised his hand and slowly pushed the trunk.

The tree slowly broke at the gap, and the whole tree slowly fell backwards.

Shen Nuo's eyes lit up slightly, and then he followed Qin Yan's method and kept cutting at the same position.

Soon, a big hole appeared in the small tree in front of him.

Shen Nuo felt that it was about time, so he raised his hand and pushed the tree back.

With a "creak", the small tree slowly fell down.

Qin Yan, who was watching this scene from the side, curled up the corners of his mouth, and his hand, which had unconsciously tightened, slowly loosened.

His Nono is very smart.

After Shen Nuo cut down the tree, he dragged it over.

The tone of his speech was very cheerful:

"Ayan, Ayan, I cut down a tree."

"Nono is great. He can do it without any study."

Qin Yan has always been generous in praising the little fox.

This is also the reason why he did not teach the little fox and let the little fox learn by himself.

He didn't want to lecture Shen Nuo according to his own ideas.

If Shen Nuo was willing to learn, he could demonstrate to him instead of assigning these things to him as tasks.

Shen Nuo was so happy that he wanted to wag his tail.

He asked Qin Yan again:

"So what should we do next?"

Qin Yan smiled:

“Cut off all the branches, tie the small branches together, and cut off the large trunks.”

As he spoke, Qin Yan began to use an axe to deal with the tree he had cut down.

He quickly cut down a few branches and looked at Shen Nuo:

"That's it, take your time, there's no rush."

Shen Nuo followed his movements and tried to cut off the branches of his own sapling.

Then he followed Qin Yan's example and cut off all the tree trunks.

They had worn gloves before going out, so Shen Nuo didn't have any blisters on his palms at this moment.

He didn't even need to use any magic power, he just cut down all the trees by himself.

The sun began to come out again, and soon Shen Nuo no longer felt cold.

During this period, Qin Yan had been paying attention to Shen Nuo's situation.

He never stopped moving his hands.

Until the sun sets.

Qin Yan then began to bundle up all the firewood.

They didn't split the firewood, but just carried the tree trunks back home and split them when they were needed.

As for the smaller branches, Qin Yan tied them together with another rope.

Because Shen Nuo also joined in chopping wood.

They chopped a lot of extra firewood that afternoon.

"Ayan, I want to pick up firewood too."

He has followed me out, so I don’t want to go back empty-handed.

Qin Yan used the shoulder pole he brought with him to bundle two small bundles of branches for Shen Nuo.

"Nono, we cut too much today, can you pick these?"

Looking at the two small bundles of branches on the ground, they were not even one-third of the ones Qin Yan picked.

Shen Nuo wanted to say something, but Qin Yan said:

"This place is far from the cave, let's go back quickly."

He picked up two large bundles of firewood using a relatively thick and sturdy tree trunk.

It doesn't seem heavy at all.

Over there, Lin Ping and the others had already started walking back.

Shen Nuo bent down and tried to pick up the two bundles of branches.

However, Shen Nuo seemed to have underestimated the weight of the branch.

He gritted his teeth and tried hard to stand up.

"Oh, this branch..."

Qin Yan put down the firewood on his shoulders.

He quickly took a few branches from Shen Nuo and put them on his burden.

"Is this better?"

Shen Nuo looked at his load of firewood which only had a few pieces, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

His load was the lightest, but there was so much firewood that he couldn't carry it.

Shen Nuo couldn't understand why the firewood was so heavy.

Qin Yan and the others are so awesome.

Especially Qin Yan, if he carried firewood using the shoulder pole that Shen Nuo was carrying, the shoulder pole would definitely break.

Shen Nuo saw him lift up such a heavy load of firewood easily and said quickly:

"Okay, let's go."

Shen Nuo walked in front, and the mountain breeze blew.

People who should have felt the cold ignored the cold wind because they were carrying heavy burdens on their shoulders.

Shen Nuo didn't feel tired at first.

However, this has been going on.

He couldn't help but shrink his neck and walked much slower.

"It's so heavy, why is this... huh."

He was panting and felt like he was almost dying of exhaustion.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of relief on his shoulders, and the shoulder pole and the firewood were held by Qin Yan in one hand.

"Nono is already very impressive. Look, there is a cave ahead."

"Well, then hurry up, it's too heavy."

He did not try to be stubborn anymore and just asked Qin Yan to walk faster.

It’s not that Qin Yan couldn’t feel the weight.

However, he was originally a man, and he spent all year hunting and chopping wood in the mountains.

Picking these things is naturally a piece of cake.

After returning to the cave, Shen Nuo wanted to sit on the ground immediately.

But Qin Yan grabbed it.

He just laughed and said:

"The ground is dirty, let's go back and sit over there."
