Chapter 49: Trying to save your life
Originally, everyone asked to take over my duty, but now my brain is very active, and I don't feel sleepy at all, and the slate doesn't move anymore, so I simply sit until dawn.
When everyone woke up and learned that I had been alone all night, they also blamed themselves, in fact, I didn't care, if there was anything to gain this time, it was that everyone listened to my command more.
"You stay at home, and then build the house, and the three of us go out and see what is going on. I said to the women.
After saying that, the three of us men directly removed the stone slab and came to the cave below, and we patrolled the cave below, and sure enough, it was the same as we guessed, because the cave walls were full of monster claw marks.
It stands to reason that our location here is very good, the waterfall obscured our sounds and smells, and it was difficult for monsters to spot here.
"Take a closer look. I said to the two of them.
The three of them took the flashlight and carefully looked at it again, and sure enough, they found some clues.
"Yang, come and see, is this a bloodstain. Paul shouted from the side.
John and I ran over quickly, and saw that there was indeed a dark red mark on the wall of a cave, and I approached and sniffed it, isn't it blood.
"Is it the blood of a monster?" asked John.
"No, I think our position is exposed. I said.
"I don't understand. Paul said.
"I need to confirm it again, let's go. I said as I walked out of the cave, through the waterfall, and swam to the shore.
We made a careful look along the shore and found traces of humans that did not belong to us.
"We've been discovered?" said John, surprised.
"If I'm right, you should have been watched yesterday, and the gang finally settled on our location. I said.
"You mean they deliberately made the blood to attract monsters?" Paul said.
"That's how it should be. I said.
"Hey, I didn't know I shouldn't have come out yesterday. John said angrily.
"Now is not the time to dwell on this, it is a matter of time before we are discovered, even if they don't come to us, we will go to them for revenge, but it seems that it will be as soon as possible. I said.
"Then we will go now, and use this method, with my blood. Paul said.
"No, since they dare to make a move, they must be ready, the most important thing for us now is how to spend tonight, since these monsters know our location, they will definitely come tonight, if we go to take revenge now, we will just fall into their plan, not only can we not take revenge, but we will not survive tonight. I said.
"Damn, they actually borrowed a knife to kill people, we can only do it in a hurry. Paul said.
If it were in normal times, I would definitely praise him a few words, and this Chinese level has improved again, but now I am not in the mood.
"So what do we do now?" said John.
"Go back and call people, cut down bamboo, cut down trees, cut as many as you can. I said.
"Okay, I'll call. As he spoke, Paul was about to jump into the water.
I hurriedly grabbed him and said, "There are two people left at home." ”
"Who?" asked Paul.
"Let Qiu Xue and Xia He stay. I said.
Paul hesitated, but nodded.
After Paul entered the water, John looked at me and said, "Are you worried that Xia He will make a mistake again?"
"Sort of. I said with a smile.
Actually, I didn't say what I really thought.
But now is not the time to dwell on this, whether things will come out as I think they will soon come to light, as long as we can survive.
The people soon arrived, everyone brought their tools, and I gave a few words, and everyone went into the woods.
"Sharpen the bamboo, don't be too thick, cut the kind of hardness. "I command as I work.
"John, Paul, we dig the pit. I said.
"Good. The two of them followed me and started to work.
Unfortunately, we didn't have a hoe, and it was hard to dig this hole, so I observed the path of the monster and decided to make a few more lethal traps.
It was best if the monsters could retreat from the difficulties, and after a busy morning, I dug a hole in each of the two monsters' paths, and I jumped straight down, stuck the sharpened bamboo in the pit, and went back to the ground and spread branches and leaves on the top of the pit.
"Remember the location of these two pits, don't hurt yourself. I said.
"With only these two pits, I'm afraid I can't resist it. John said.
"Everyone went their separate ways to collect resin. I said.
"Liu Yue, come here. "I stopped Liu Yue, who was leaving.
Everyone had entered the woods, and Liu Yue walked quickly in front of me.
"Tell me what to do. Liu Yue said seriously.
This girl is giggling on weekdays, and she is still very reliable in doing things.
"We put the bamboos together and then fasten the sharpened bamboos. I said, pointing to the bamboo on the ground.
"I see, you're going to make a door. Liu Yue said.
"Yes, remember when we were on the boat? We set up a gate at the entrance behind the waterfall, with the bamboo pointed outwards. I said.
"Okay, I see. Liu Yue said.
The two of them quickly carried the bamboo into the hole, and then began to design the dimensions, and soon a rudimentary spike door came out, and now they were just waiting for everyone to return with resin.
"You wait here for me, I'll go back and get some fire. I said as I climbed the ladder.
As soon as I entered the cave, I saw Xia He drinking Qiu Xue again and saying something, Qiu Xue stepped back vigorously, and Xia He found that I hurriedly put on an embarrassing smile.
Autumn Snow also ran towards me quickly.
"Why are you back?" asked Xia He.
"Come back and get a fire, it's too slow to make a fire outside. I said and walked towards the fire.
Qiuxue followed me all the time, although she didn't speak, but I could see that she was scared, and my heart tightened.
But now I am not sure whether it is as I thought, and I can only pretend that I don't know anything for the time being.
After appeasing Qiuxue, I returned to the cave below with the fire source, and everyone also came back with materials one after another.
"How do you get it now?" asked Liu Yue.
"Heat the resin and add it to the weak spot of the spike door. I said.
"When you are super glue, your brain is so useful. Liu Yue didn't forget to praise me a few words.
"What about us?" asked John.
"Take those hardwoods up and make a wooden fence, make sure to make them stronger, and put them at the mouth of the cave when the time comes, and collect all the big stones in the cave by the way. I said.
"Good. John said and began to climb the ladder.
Paul handed the wood up below, John took it from above, and several women followed.
"What are we doing?" Ling Han said.
"Prepare some more firewood to come back. I said.
"Okay, let's go. Ling Han said as he led the three of them across the waterfall again.
And I began to look for a suitable one of these bamboos on the ground, and this door must not be erected like this, it must be supported, and my length and texture are more suitable.
I've been comparing for a long time, and I've finally sorted out a few suitable ones, although this defense is still a bit rudimentary, but as long as we can survive tonight, we can continue to upgrade.
Everyone was so busy that they didn't bother to eat lunch, and it wasn't until it was almost dark that everything was arranged.
I placed the firewood under the hole, poured the rest of the resin on it for better burning, and finally made sure that the spiked door was stable before I began to climb the ladder.
"Put away the ladder and bring the wooden fence over and cover the hole. I said.
This hardwood is hard, and it weighs much heavier than ordinary wood, but fortunately we have axes, and if we had taken the old stone axe, we would not be able to cut it at all.
The people worked together to set up the wooden fence, and I took John and Paul and began to move the stones, pressing around the wooden fence.
"Okay, these should be fine, take a break, get something to eat, I'm here to watch. I said.
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Xia He didn't know when he stood behind me and said such a sentence.
"If it's not bad, I'll die early. I said with some displeasure.
Xia Yun may have noticed my abnormality, and pulled Xia He to the side, Ling Han came over and grabbed my hand, and whispered, "What's wrong with you?"
"No, I'm not that stingy. I forced a smile on my face.
"You don't even believe me?" Ling Han said, looking at me.
I glanced at Ling Han, and Ling Han closed his mouth in amusement.
