Chapter 72: Sleeping
Everyone nodded in agreement, we slept late this night, we have been discussing countermeasures, and even from this night onwards, the night guards we resumed again were still two people in pairs, two hours in groups.
But the next two days seemed like a calm before the storm, and the group seemed to disappear, never to move around the area again.
There were even a few times when I couldn't bear it anymore and rode in black face to investigate, and the only thing I got was to bring back some fruit.
"They don't seem to come out very often. I said.
"Could it be that their cave is the same as the small waterfall?"
"It's hard to say. I said distressedly.
"So what to do, now we are so nervous, but they have nothing. Rumeng said.
"It is estimated that we will meet sooner or later, so we should seize the time to train and strengthen our defense. Liu Yue said.
I didn't expect this girl to grow up quite fast, and when these words came out of her mouth, I felt a little surprised.
"Liu Yue is right, whether they appear or not, if we want to survive here, we must always be vigilant about everything around us. I said.
"Actually, we just have a normal life, it's just one more task to stand guard. Qiu Xue said.
"Yes, I'm mainly to blame for this, it's made everyone too nervous, let's strengthen our defenses, there should be no problem. I said.
"How can I blame you for this, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know who our enemies are and where. Jones said.
"Do what you say, we'll all listen to you. Luna said.
"John, Paul, what do you think?" I said, looking at the two who had not spoken.
"According to the current situation, the risk is too great if we take the initiative, and strengthening our defense and training is indeed our best choice at the moment. John said.
"I think the same thing as John, but I have a little bit of an opinion. Paul said.
"Tell me about it. I said.
"We have a residency at the moment, but we don't know how long we can stay, and if we do get into a fight with them, I think we need to be prepared for something. Paul said.
Paul seems to be a gentleman, but he is actually a very attentive person, and he usually doesn't talk much, but he always finds some key problems.
"You are very thoughtful, you elaborate your thoughts. I said.
"We were forced to flee from the waterfall, and it was lucky that we could start all over again with what we had with us, but if it fell, where would we go next?" Paul said.
"How can you say frustrating words, how can we build so well here, how can it fall. Xia He said.
"Paul, too, is thinking long-term, and we have to plan for the current environment. I said.
"That's what you think too?" asked Paul, looking at me, his voice a little agitated.
"I did think so, but I was worried that everyone would be under pressure, so I didn't bring it up, but at the moment the situation between the enemy and the enemy is unknown, I think it's time to make plans, otherwise if the fight really starts, we can't let go of our hands and feet. I said.
"What the hell is going to do then?" said Rosshuang.
"Well, you go and catch a few horned zebras and come back, and hurry up and tame, and if you really want to leave, we should have a convoy too." I said.
"You mean to let the horses carry things?" Ling Han said.
"Then what are we going to prepare?" Liu Yue said.
"Food and water, of course, and seeds from these crops. I said.
"Do you really want to go? I'm just getting used to here," Xia He said.
"It's not that you have to leave immediately, it's that you are ready to leave as a last resort. Xia Yun said.
"I don't want to leave here, it still feels like home. Xia He said.
"But if it really comes to that point, we have to prepare in advance, don't we?" Xia Yun said.
Seeing that Xia He's tears began to roll, I touched her head and said, "Silly girl, as long as we are all together, wherever we go is home." ”
My words resonated with everyone, and the gloom on my face was swept away, and I changed my smile again.
"Alright, that's it, let's get to work. I stood up and said.
"I'll take Blackface to hunt, by the way to reconnoiter the terrain, John Paul, you go and catch a few horned zebras and come back, and practice more if you are not skilled in horseback, and others will set up more barricades, and don't stop making bows and arrows. I continued.
In fact, everyone has always had a clear division of labor, I don't say that they can also complete it well, I deliberately arranged it, just to distract them from these things, don't keep thinking about Ma Gongzi and those wild people.
And I also concealed my purpose, hunting is only incidental, reconnaissance is the main task.
"Blackface, where is the wild man further a?" I thought to myself.
The black face looked at me blankly, and it probably hadn't been there before.
"Why don't we go all the way down the river and see what the north is going on?" I thought to myself.
Actually, as long as I say west, blackface will never go east, but out of trust and respect, I always like to ask its opinion before making a decision.
However, blackface naturally has no opinion, unless he encounters danger.
In order to be in a hurry, Blackface turned the speed to the extreme, and soon we came to the river, in fact, I thought about walking along the river because I was worried that I would get lost.
Although the black face is there, after all, we are going to a place where the black face has never been.
The river seems to have no end, and we have passed the rocky field where the savages live, but there is still no end in sight.
I still underestimated the size of the island, which was really much bigger than I thought it would be at the speed at which Blackface and I were traveling right now.
Beyond the stone mountain, there is another woodland, but this woodland is a little dark, and it can even be said that it makes me feel a little uneasy, maybe this uneasiness comes from the black face.
But for everyone's sake, we have to break through, and I need to know what's in this forest.
"Let's go. "I told the blackface who stopped in my heart.
Naturally, Blackface sensed my concern, and his expression became grim, still as fast, but more vigilant.
Seeing that it was almost noon, but there was still no end in sight to the forest, the more I walked in, the more uneasy I felt, so I let the black face stop.
"Let's go back first, and come back when we have a chance. I thought to myself.
It was already dark when we returned to the station, and on the way back we hunted three deer, and everyone was ready for dinner, so they were waiting for us.
"How's that?" Ling Han asked.
"Beyond the rocky field it was a woodland, but I always felt that there was something in the woods. "I didn't hide it, I said it truthfully.
"And what about the forest?" asked Liu Yue.
"We all underestimated the size of the island, we didn't get through that forest, and it would take at least a whole day to get through it. I said.
"Is the road easy?" asked John.
"The only good news is that the river seems to literally split the island in half, so you don't have to worry about getting lost if you walk along the riverbank. I said.
"In that case, let's go ahead with the original plan. Paul said.
"Okay, I'll explore the road tomorrow. I said.
Everyone was also tired for a day, after eating, we went back to the house to rest, what I admired most was the physical strength of the black face, how to run down a hundred kilometers this day, but there was nothing to see it.
And what worries me the most is how big the island is, and what's in the woods.
Because I didn't want to fight those savages in my heart, what I didn't tell you was that those savages were almost two meters tall and very burly.
My mind was in a mess, but I had to rest because I was going to leave early, so I set the alarm on my watch for 4 a.m.
When I came out with a black face, it was Rumeng and Luo Shuang who were guarding the wall.
"You're going out now?" Rumeng said.
"That's right, it's hard work for you, and you can only find someone to replace me in my post. I said.
"That's not the point, are you safe to go out now?" said Luo Shuang.
"It shouldn't be a problem to have a black face on this one, it's a forest that I don't know how big it is, and if I leave now, I might be able to get there before dawn so I can explore more. I said.
