"Are you that unreasonable?"
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows, not angry at all.
Perhaps this woodcutter was afraid of getting into trouble.
"Woodcutter, don't go! Woodcutter!"
Sikong Wuyuan hurriedly caught up and patted the woodcutter's shoulder.
"Hey! Why did you hit me?" The woodcutter turned his head back with a frustrated expression and spoke fiercely.
Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan were shocked.
Those who did not know better would think that this person was robbing them.
"Why is your attitude so bad?"
Sikong Wuyuan frowned but did not say much.
After all, he had a favor to ask of the other party.
"None of your business!"
The woodcutter rolled his eyes and turned to leave.
Jiang Ming decided to make a move himself. He lowered his voice and said, "Sir, how about we make a deal? We will do you one favor, and you will return it."
The woodcutter's heart warmed.
He wanted the person in front of him to do something for him.
"What do you want me to do?"
The woodcutter turned around, his attitude and tone becoming very different.
"Take us to the small wooden house in this bamboo forest."
Jiang Ming took the opportunity to mention it.
The woodcutter's expression was uncertain. He laughed casually. "I don't know where this little wooden house is."
This expression was obviously a cover-up.
Sikong Wuyuan did not care. He immediately pulled Jiang Ming and turned to leave.
"Since he doesn't know, why should we make a deal with him? Your Majesty, let's not waste time here."
As he walked, he was looking at the woodcutter behind him.
If the woodcutter was anxious, it meant that his matter was urgent, and they would have a chance to negotiate.
This was a gamble, but he felt that the odds were in his favor.
A hint of panic appeared on the woodcutter's face. He immediately raised his hand and said to Jiang Ming, "Wait! I know!"
Sikong Wuyuan revealed a satisfied smile. "Woodcutter, bring us there now. We definitely won't go back on our word."
But the woodcutter's face was filled with disbelief. "How should I know if you are trustworthy people?" he asked.
After thinking for a moment, he felt that it was not worth it. He changed his mind and said, "Forget it. I'm still in a hurry to cut wood. You guys can go."
"Let's talk things over," Sikong Wuyuan said hurriedly. "We can do our own thing while you do yours."
The woodcutter felt that this was fine and immediately agreed.
"I went to chop firewood this time to save my daughter," he said in distress as he walked over to them.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Ming was confused and did not understand what the woodcutter was thinking.
How could chopping firewood save people?
"I made a deal with the demon who captured my daughter. As long as I cut ten million logs today, he will let my daughter go."
The woodcutter had a bitter look on his face as he kept wiping the sweat off his forehead.
It was obvious that he had been chopping for a while, but it was still not enough.
Sikong Wuyuan pouted and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the woodcutter.
The woodcutter's tears had already flowed out of his eyes, and his entire person had become haggard.
"I've already used all my strength to cut wood, but in the end, I still don't have even a fraction of the amount."
Jiang Ming knew the woodcutter's pain. He also remembered that the woodcutter was a man who loved his daughter. He immediately said, "I'll help you chop wood now. Just bring us to the wooden house."
The woodcutter was a little suspicious. "Even if the three of us cut wood together, we might not be able to cut so much wood. Is it really possible?"
"If you don't believe us, your daughter will have no chance of living."
Jiang Ming analyzed the pros and cons.
"Maybe I can finish cutting the firewood before dark," said the woodcutter with a trace of anticipation.
"What are you thinking about, Woodcutter?" Sikong Wuyuan could not help but laugh. "Do you know how much firewood a person can cut in a day?"
"As long as I have perseverance, I can do this," said the woodcutter with pursed lips.
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gripped the ax behind him tightly. contemporary romance
Sikong Wuyuan could not help but think he was stupid.
Jiang Ming grinned and could not help but want to give the woodcutter a thumbs up.
He was awesome!
When the woodcutter saw that the two of them did not say anything, he thought that the two of them had already confirmed their views. He immediately smiled shyly. "What I said makes sense, right?"
"Yes!"
Sikong Wuyuan clapped his hands and smiled awkwardly.
He felt that if this woodcutter had any brains, he would definitely be embarrassed.
He could not say what he was thinking on the surface, so he had to continue to deal with this woodcutter.
Who knew that the woodcutter would believe Sikong Wuyuan's words? He immediately became excited. "Then I have to work hard. I don't need your help. I can chop the firewood myself. Thank you."
The woodcutter turned around and wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Jiang Ming.
He had never thought that this woodcutter would actually change his mind all of a sudden.
"What's wrong?"
The woodcutter did not understand, his eyes filled with confusion.
"You won't be able to finish chopping everything. You'll need our help."
Jiang Ming felt like his head was about to explode.
Why did this series of statements make the woodcutter start to have such absurd thoughts?
"What?" The woodcutter felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He said hesitantly, "Are you sure?"
"Are you sure you want to play with your daughter's life?" Jiang Ming sneered.
Sikong Wuyuan felt a headache coming on, but he could not say anything bad about this woodcutter.
"He's right," he said. "Let us help you."
Was that the king?
The woodcutter's head began to hurt. He quickly knelt down and said with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know it was you."
He felt that it was impossible for the king to be this young.
Since he had met the king, could he also propose a corresponding condition?
"It's fine. I'm just visiting in disguise. It's normal that you can't recognize me."
Jiang Ming raised his hand to signal the woodcutter to get up.
The woodcutter's eyes were instantly filled with stars. He said to Jiang Ming, "Since you have come to inspect the people's situation, then help me do this."
Sikong Wuyuan grinned. Things were going well.
Jiang Ming continued, "Let's continue with the deal. You should know what you should and shouldn't do."
"I know, Your Majesty."
The woodcutter answered obediently, his heart filled with excitement.
If he was lucky, he could offer the king to the demon.
The king's abilities were profound, and he would definitely be able to obtain a lot of spiritual energy if he sacrificed him.
