Chapter 35: Sleepless Nights

"It's definitely too late today, take a good rest and we'll go back tomorrow. I said.

"Okay, let's look at the human-powered elevator again. John said.

After a little trimming, the three of them began to build our model of the human-powered elevator again, and as time passed quickly, the silly bird began to chirp again.

If it weren't for the sound of the waterfall outside muffling the movement in our cave, I'd be worried that its cry would have brought something else, because it was so unpleasant.

"What have you been tinkering with these days?" Ling Han didn't know when he appeared behind us, watching me fiddle with the model of the human-powered elevator.

"Research the human-powered elevator. I said.

"I thought you were studying the house. Ling Han said.

"We wanted to push ourselves and design a lift that had never been done before. John said.

"It's unprecedented, what kind of manpower elevator are you going to build?" Ling Han asked.

Seeing that we were chatting here, all the women also gathered around.

"What's the matter?" the women asked.

"What kind of human-powered elevator are they going to build. Ling Han said to the women.

"What are you doing here?" asked Liu Yue.

"yes, I'm curious about that too. Ling Han said.

"You don't understand this, do you? The saying that the hair is long and the knowledge is short is not unreasonable, don't we want to engage in breeding? With the human-powered elevator, we can get back the slightly larger animals we caught, and we don't have to climb up and down when we go out. I explained in a serious way.

The women were stunned for a few seconds when I said this, and then they all laughed, and they all laughed.

"What are you laughing at, we're serious. I stood up and said.

"Dare to say that we have long hair and short knowledge, you are brainless. Liu Yue said with a smile.

I was just about to refute, but Ling Han raised his hand to interrupt me, and said with a smile: "It's full of water outside, and you have to pass through a waterfall to enter the cave below, how can you bring large animals in?

Our three brothers were a little dumbfounded for a moment when Ling Han said this, you look at me and I look at you, it seems that what Ling Han said is very reasonable.

"We can build a bamboo bridge and walk straight in. I was unconvinced.

"Oh, that's telling everyone we live here? monsters don't have to swim when they come in. Liu Yue said.

"Thisβ€”" I was short of words.

"Why can't you support our dreams?" said Paul.

"You are not dreaming, you are dreaming. Ling Han said with a smile.

"We can make it. John was not convinced.

"Okay, then let me ask you, how to solve the power? Do people pull or let people use them as weights? Even if these are solved, how can the closure be solved? Even if the closure is solved, how can you expand the hole? Can't you see how thick the rock is? Even if you really open it? What if the whole hole collapses?" Liu Yue couldn't speak, and we couldn't breathe directly.

The three of us looked at each other, and for a moment we couldn't refute it at all.

"As if they have a point. Paul said.

I glared at Paul at the same time as John, and Paul quickly shut up.

"Don't be discouraged, this really won't work, it's better to hurry up and build a house, and if you have those spare time, you might as well make us some combs." Ling Han said.

"That's it, what about the human elevator, you three big men went out, how can we pull you when you come back. Jones said.

"I think your ideas are good, but a little unrealistic. Rumeng said.

"Well, you also think about the convenience of everyone, but this place is really difficult to realize your design. Luna said.

All the women said that we were embarrassed, I calmed down and thought about it, to build a human elevator here, it is indeed a bit fantastical.

"Okay, don't talk about it. I whispered.

Everyone thought I was angry, so they shut up and looked at me with blank eyes.

"Don't be angry, let's just talk about what we think, if you really want to make it, we can help too. Ling Han said.

After speaking, he gave the women a look, and the women hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, we can help." ”

"Well, the problem you are talking about does exist, and we really can't solve it. I said.

"Maybe we're thinking too simply. John said.

"Ah," Paul sighed.

"Don't be so pessimistic, your idea is good, it's just not suitable here, this geographical location limits your play. Ling Han said.

Listening to her say this, I felt a little better in my heart, and it was good to be hit by this time, we were all too smooth during this time, and we were a little fluttering.

"Okay, let's stop making it, let's concentrate on what works early. I said.

"Really not angry?" the women asked in unison.

"I'm really not angry, what you said is very right, as the so-called bystanders are fans of the authorities, we are thinking too one-sidedly, don't build it, build a house well. I said.

John and Paul also nodded in agreement, admitting their mistakes one by one, and this farce of the human-powered elevator came to an end.

The next day, as soon as the silly bird called, we got up and set off, but after some deliberation, we decided to go to the nearest cave first.

It was the same cave we had robbed before, and although there were only four of us there, it was close to us and could threaten our safety at any time.

The road was all too familiar to us, and it didn't take long for us to arrive at our former home, where the three of us hid in the bushes.

"I didn't expect it to be the same. I whispered.

"yes, these people are so lazy that they haven't even repaired it. John said.

"Not everyone has the ability to survive in the wild. Paul said.

After saying that, the two of them also threw an adoring look at me, and I couldn't cry or laugh.

I was about to say something, but suddenly a shout came from inside the cave.

"Don't, don't kill me. ”

"It was the woman's voice. Paul said.

I motioned for Paul to shut up, and the voice in the cave came again.

"I haven't eaten for three days, and we're all going to die if we continue like this. A male voice said.

Listening to this voice, it seems to be the man who took the knife to hold him hostage like a dream.

"I'm going out to find something to eat, and I beg you don't kill me. The woman said.

"Look for it, you can't find anything, let you go out now, you won't come back. The man said.

"Don't, don't, you promised not to kill me, so I helped you kill them. The woman said.

"That's your own stupidity, and that's no wonder to me. The man said viciously.

The woman's voice begging for mercy became more and more poignant, and the man did not speak again, he should be approaching the woman, and a woman's scream followed.

"What are they?" Paul looked at me in horror.

Actually, everyone understood what was going on, but we really didn't want to think that way, and John bowed his head uncomfortably.

From inside the cave came the maniacal laughter of men, and the sound seemed to come from hell, and we shuddered to hear it.

"Let's go. I stood up and said.

The two of them stopped talking, silently followed behind me, and when we encountered such a thing, our hearts were very heavy, and we didn't have the heart to investigate, so we went back to the residence directly.

"Don't tell them. "Before entering the waterfall, I said to the two of them.

The two of them froze for a moment, then nodded heavily.

The three of us made up a unified lie and prevaricated the women's inquiries, and that night all the women had already fallen asleep, but we could not sleep.

The woman's cry for help, the man's maniacal laughter, have been echoing in our ears for a long time.

The three of us sat around the campfire, and neither of us could talk about it, but we all knew we were thinking the same thing.

Finally, Paul broke the ice.

"I really can't figure it out, why eat people with so much food in this forest?"

"Didn't you also say that not everyone has the ability to survive in the wild. John said.

"If we don't have the ability to survive in the wild, if we don't have the tools, if we don't have the ability to make tools, if we don't make traps, maybe..."

"Yang, don't say it," Paul said with a pained expression.

"But Qingyang is right, if we don't have these abilities, maybe we will end up..."John said.
