Chapter 53: There is no return

"Qiu Xue aside, why doesn't Luo Shuang know your identity?" I asked.

"Qiu Xue and Luo Shuang were both locked up before our father's identity was revealed. Xia He said.

"Alright, now wait for your sister to come back, and we'll make the next step then. I said.

"Okay, don't cry, let's go, go back and explain to everyone first. Paul said.

"I—" Xia He looked at us in fear.

"Don't worry, we've got us. I said and climbed up the ladder.

But the first thing is not for Xia He to tell everyone the truth, it's time for us to prepare for defense.

"Why did you come back, didn't you go hunting?" asked the women, when they saw us returning.

"That guy might come and attack us, we need to be prepared. I said bluntly.

"Ahh

"I don't know, but it's always right to be prepared, and now everyone starts to prepare the bamboo sticks. I said.

"What bamboo sticks?" the women asked.

"It's the kind of bamboo skewers we use when we barbecue, but they can be shaved a little thicker than that, but they must be sharp. I said.

"Okay, we'll get ready right away. The women said and spread out and started to move, without asking me what I was going to do here, this is trust.

"It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just curious, when is this going on, and you still want to barbecue?" John asked.

"Hahaha, it's not barbecue, it's a trap. I said with a smile.

"Just what kind of trap can this bamboo stick make, how lethal it can be. Paul said.

"Yes, the lethality is very small, but my purpose is not to kill, just to make them unable to escape. I said.

"The more you talk about it, the more fantastical it becomes, what the hell are you going to do?" John asked.

"Prepare bamboo sticks and bring them out to the shore to find us. I said to the women.

After receiving a response, I took John and Paul out of the cave.

"There are only two ways for those people to come to us that are relatively safe, and I believe they will not risk opening a third way. I stood on the shore and said to the two of them.

"What does that have to do with bamboo sticks?" asked Paul.

"Now the time is pressing, large traps, too complex traps, we are too late, bamboo skewers are the best option I can think of at the moment. I said.

"Don't beat around the bush, tell us how to get it. John said.

"If Xia Yun's plan is successful, then that group of people will come before dark, I don't want to confront them head-on, that is too risky, they will definitely be fully prepared when they come, so what we have to do is just to make them lose their ability to act. I said.

"I still don't quite understand. Paul said.

"I don't really understand how bamboo sticks can incapacitate them?" John said.

"If they come at the appointed time, they'll have to enter our cave to avoid the monsters, right?" I said, looking at the two of them.

"Yes, but how could we possibly let them in?" said John.

"That's right, when they find out that they can't get in, and they know that they have been tricked, what will their first reaction be?" I asked.

"Of course it's a retreat, or wait until it gets dark and the monsters come out and eat them." Paul said.

"Yes, this is the first reaction, but if they come early, then they will find out that they are in the middle of the plan, and they will definitely have enough time to retreat, then our plan will be exposed, and Xia Yun and his father may be in danger. I said.

"That's right, then what to do, I'm going to save Xia Yun. As he spoke, Paul was about to burrow into the woods.

I hurriedly grabbed him and said: "So I have to prepare bamboo sticks and place bamboo stick traps on two roads, although the lethality is not enough, but as long as they step on it, they will definitely not be able to run away, at that time, they will be the monster's meal." ā€

"Oh, I see, you can figure it out, I said how this bamboo stick hurts people, it turned out to be poking the soles of the feet. John said with a smile.

"But we must remember our position and not hurt our own people, especially Paul. I said.

"Why me?" asked Paul.

"Xia Yun doesn't know that we have set up a trap, and it's almost time, why don't you pick her up and show her the way?" I said.

"Oh oh, yes, yes, I must remember the location. Paul said excitedly.

"Okay, let's get started, you don't have to dig too deep a hole, you don't have to dig too big, just enough to step into it with one foot, but you still have to have some drop from the ground to increase the lethality. I said.

"It's not easy to do without digging a deep pit, how big are your feet??" said John.

"Come on your size, I guess no one's feet are bigger than yours. I paused.

"Okay. John said and worked hard.

"I still think I might as well mark it, like we used to trap. Paul said.

"It's not impossible, if there are marks, we can prepare more, and we don't have to deliberately remember the location. I said.

"What about a branch and a stone?" said Paul.

"How?" I asked.

"Just stick a branch next to the trap and put a stone, and the leaves are barely visible as a mark. Paul said.

"What do you think, John?" I asked.

"I think it's okay, why don't you get one first?" said John.

"Okay, let's get one first. I said.

After saying that, the three of them dug the pit separately, since this pit is not too big and too deep, according to our current physical strength, it will not take much effort.

A moment later the three of us gathered in front of the pit that Paul had dug, and I said, "Paul, let's try this." ā€

"Wait a minute, I'll try to feel it first. John said.

After saying that, he took two steps back, pretending not to know that there was a trap, and deliberately stepped into the pit.

"Awesome, Qingyang, don't mention adding bamboo sticks, there are no bamboo sticks, if you run over and step on it, you can also crooked your feet. John said.

"It's okay, Paul, and you can make a sample first. I said.

Paul didn't say much, but began to disguise the trap and leave a mark.

When Paul had it done, the three of us took a few steps back, and we really couldn't see it, unless, like us, we knew it was a peculiar sign.

"Okay, then let's do Paul's way, let's hurry up and dig a pit, and when they come over with bamboo sticks, we can officially settle it. I said.

"Good. The two said in unison.

The three of them took the dagger and began to dig, at this time I miss the hoe a little, if there is a hoe, our efficiency can be increased tenfold, I have to admire the creative ability of the working people of our country, and now we are digging a pit completely by virtue of physical superiority.

"I'll go the other way, you go on. I said and began to shift positions.

At present, my physical strength is the best, and even I feel that my strength is the greatest, although the two of them are also strong men, but they still seem to be a little difficult after working for a long time, but I have no such worries at all.

When the women appeared with bamboo sticks, we had prepared fifteen pits on each side of the two roads, which seemed to be enough.

"How do you use these bamboo sticks?" the women asked.

"Insert it into the pit we dug, it doesn't need to be too dense, just insert five or six in a pit. I said.

Everyone immediately started to operate, and the three of us continued to do it, not daring to stop at all, and now it was time to race against time.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, all our traps were finally laid out.

"Paul, you find a place to hide, wait to pick up Xia Yun, and we all go back first. I said.

"Okay, leave it to me. Paul said happily.

"Why don't you get some traps farther away? and be so close to our cave. Ling Han asked.

"yes, they won't be able to get over if they get farther away. Liu Yue said.

"I'm not saying they can't come, I'm saying they can't go, and there are some things I'll tell you, and you'll understand, now we'll go back first, and we're hungry." I said as I walked forward.

Paul had already gone into hiding, and we went back to the cave, and the women climbed the ladder to prepare food, and John and I stayed in the cave below to check our spike door, and by the way prepared some more firewood.

"It's time to eat. Ling Han's voice came from the cave above.

"We'll wait. John and I said in unison.

Finally, seeing that it was getting late, Paul was late with Xia Yun.
