Chapter 081: How to Get Out
Everyone can come and go freely, and there is no need to worry about encountering monsters there, but because there is no monster control, the amount of food here is obviously more, and more meals need to be consumed every day, which has been a long time, I don't know if the monsters will find out, but at least it's safe for now.
So, after a while, there were a lot of people gathered in my cousin's room, and they were all anxious that they couldn't open the door.
Listening to everyone's discussions, chattering, and not saying a reason, the eldest son suddenly had a new idea, since this road does not work, why not try another way, maybe there will be a new discovery.
After sleeping and waking up, the eldest son had already thought of a way.
He asked his cousin to call the leaders of several districts over and explained his thoughts to everyone in detail.
First of all, the implementation of the regional light off method, to see what impact the lights in one area have on other areas, and find out the rules from it, so as to better control the place.
Secondly, send people from their own areas separately to do another in-depth and detailed test of all the areas and everything in the vicinity to see if there is anything missing, and if there is, even the slightest detail, especially new things, must be reported at any time.
Again, do three expeditions.
One is the exploration of the inlet channel, so many people, so many demons here, a lot of water is needed every day, there must be a passage connecting the rivers and streams, if you can go upstream, maybe you can find an exit.
The second is the exploration of the waterway, so many people, demons, every day to unravel the water and drink feces, it is not a decimal, there must be an outlet, otherwise who can't stand it for a long time, because it has been here for so long, although the light is darker. The food is not good, the sleep is not good, the accommodation is not good, but it is clean, as long as you can follow the drain, you will definitely be able to find the water outlet. You'll be able to get out.
The third is to explore the vents in and out, there are many people, you need to breathe a lot of air, but also spit out a lot of exhaust gas, if there is no source and exit of these gases, it is definitely not possible, everyone basically has no feeling of stuffiness in the hole, and except for the place where the toilet is, all other places have never smelled. Indicates that there must be large vents here.
After the experiment of the regional light off method, we did not find any obvious relationship between each area, but if the lights in one area were turned on at the same time as the opposite area, the lights in other areas would be much darker, and sometimes they would not even be lit.
Based on this situation, the eldest son came to the conclusion that the lights in these two places consumed a lot of things, so the lights in the other places were not enough.
And also. After trying it a few times, a few things still seem to be broken. The youkai came to repair it a few times and couldn't fix it, and one of them was something that sat in it and could move up and down in the hole.
The monster was very angry about the breakage of this thing, and beat up a few people. It seems that the monster is expected to send someone with more powerful skills to repair it after a while.
Hear here. The eldest son came up with an idea, since there will be a very skilled person to repair things after a while, can you catch it and force it to help open the thick door when the time comes.
Sure enough, a few days later, several youkai brought in a youkai that they had never seen before. It didn't take long for it to fix the broken thing, and the monsters seemed to be happy and slapped each other.
Seeing that they were done with their work, they were ready to leave, and the cousin who was standing next to him was very anxious, and after the eldest son whispered a word in his ear, he laughed and walked away.
As soon as the monsters walked to the door of this thing that could move up and down, the cousin brought a plate of things to them to eat, and this fat monster who could fix things saw that there was something delicious, and immediately stopped, turned around and was about to grab it with his hands to eat.
The other monsters seemed to know that it was a bit greedy, so they said hello and left, leaving it there to eat.
After eating this plate, it seemed that he was still a little unsatisfied, so the cousin pointed to the farther place behind him, and made a gesture of following him.
In this way, this monster who can repair things will follow him and giggle away.
As soon as I walked into a house, the people who were standing next to me and watching the excitement came up and caught this monster.
After being caught, in order to prevent the youkai from contacting other youkai, he first covered his mouth, and then stuffed it with a piece of rag, and took off several tool bags hanging on his body, and stripped off all his clothes to prevent it from running around.
At the same time, three or four clever young men were specially arranged in the house to take care of them, and they only gave them what they wanted, of course, only for food, and they did not agree to anything else, nor could they go out of the house for half a step, and they could eat, relieve themselves, and sleep in this house.
At the beginning, the monster didn't know what everyone was going to do, thinking that it was going to eat its fat body, and it was so frightened that it trembled, and when it was later seen that everyone seemed to be asking for him, he was relieved, no longer struggling, no longer afraid, and began to cooperate.
It's just that due to the language barrier between the two sides, there is no way to communicate, otherwise it would have taught everyone how to open the door.
This is one of the biggest takeaways from the recent arrangement.
Re-exploring the surroundings did not reveal any useful information, but only made everyone more familiar with the place.
However, there was still a small situation that caught the attention of the eldest son.
When my cousin went out to look for someone once, he found a figure he didn't seem to recognize, and he didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he turned around and remembered to take a closer look, the figure disappeared for a while, because there were many holes around, and there were many people, and at that time, because there were monsters nearby, he didn't dare to make a noise, but he just told his eldest son about it after he came back.
After analyzing it, the eldest son felt that it was unlikely that this was his own person, and it was also possible that there were areas in this cave that everyone had not explored, and the biggest possibility was that this was a spy or spy sent by the monsters.
It's possible that the monster has noticed everyone's movements recently, or maybe it's because the monster who can repair things is missing, and if you pay attention to this, then you should be very careful.
Thinking of this, the eldest son decisively informed that all activities had been stopped recently, not only expedition activities, but even contact with each other should be stopped, and people who did not know each other should be highly careful. But no action can be taken, otherwise it is easy to startle the snake.
The eldest son's decision came very timely, and after a period of silence, those unknown figures disappeared, and it seemed that there was no movement.
This little accident gave the eldest son a wake-up call, which was going well. You need to prevent youkai from causing trouble at all times, it seems that they can not only take the form of a demon, but also take the form of a human, which is a very dangerous signal, so be careful everywhere.
Subsequently, the eldest son arranged for people to secretly monitor at several major entrances, and reported any abnormalities at any time.
After this matter subsided for a while, and everyone was normal again, they began to explore the inlet and outlet channels and ventilation ducts. Some progress has also been made.
Although people could not get into the waterway because of the small inlet and outlet, there was a place where they heard a loud sound of water, if not a waterfall, but a river.
When the eldest son heard the word "waterfall", the first thing that came to mind was that it was not far from the valley where the family was located, and that he might be able to enter through the entrance of the waterfall.
Secondly, he also lamented that time passed too quickly, when he went to the mountains to burn iron and tree lumps that year. It's still the first month of the year, but it's actually still a freezing winter. If this is really the sound of waterfalls, it means that the ice on the mountain has thawed, then it is at least summer now, and only in summer can such a large amount of water be heard underground.
To this place where there is a sound of water, if it is indeed by the waterfall river. There are two possibilities.
Find a way to mess up here, and maybe you can get out. There is also a possibility that after going out here, you will come to the edge of the waterfall, which is tens of hundreds of zhang high. Even if you stand on the side, you can't go up, you can't go down, you still can't do it, unless you find a long enough rope.
But in this dark place, where can you even wear your clothes, where can you find such a long rope, even if you go outside to the mountains to find cow rope vines, you may not be able to find so many vines to use.
This can only be regarded as a last resort.
They lit some strips of cloth, looked at the direction of the flame and the flow of smoke, and slowly found the vent in and out of the hole, and could see the distant mountains outside and the light coming in, but there were turning fans at both ends of the vent, and those fans were all made of iron, as high as a floor, and if they were forced to get in, those sharp fans might cut people like kitchen knives.
When the others heard this, they all shivered, thinking about the feeling of being cut by a large kitchen knife.
The eldest son disagreed, "This is easy to do, when we go in, we bring a few iron rods, and pry each other, we will definitely make those fans not turn, if it turns fast, such a pry is enough to break its leaves, anyway, you can do anything." Don't worry about that. ”
He pondered for a moment, and then said, "If the vent can only see the mountains in the distance, then it means that this is on a cliff, and judging by the sound of water from the perspective of the water, then it is possible that there is a waterfall outside." ”
He turned around, looked at everyone, and said, "If it's really a cliff and a waterfall outside, then we can't use this vent and the inlet and outlet channel, so we have to think of something else." ”
In a word, everyone's full confidence was shattered.
After the meeting was dispersed, the eldest son, in order to prevent everyone from being discouraged, gave up on himself, and even did something that would damage the operation, so he and the four brothers quietly went to each area one by one to do their work, and told them that in fact, these words were for "others", and these "others" were spies sent in by the monsters, and some new spies have recently been mixed in.
The purpose of saying this is to worry that the actual situation will be heard by the spies, in fact, the eldest son has a real idea, and he has already thought of a way to get out.
Everyone asked what the solution was, but the person who went to report the letter laughed and did not answer, and only said that he would just wait for the notice.
Actually, this is the eldest son who deliberately made people say this.
Because after analyzing the situation just now, I was also a little dumbfounded, and I tossed for a long time, if these methods can't be used, it is not only a waste of time, but a problem that everyone can't get out at all, if everyone can't get out, Xiyan's house will be finished.
The eldest son also noticed something a little strange, when he was hugged by a monster and jumped into this hole, his father was by his side, which means that his father knew that he had fallen here.
Then why didn't the father come and save him? Was the father also in danger? Or was the hole like a magic trick, just a trick that no one else could see, or would it disappear after a while?
There is also a situation, if the father can't find the entrance to the cave there, it is that the hole is too deep, and the father and uncle can't enter it under the existing conditions, and of course they can't imagine that there is no danger in jumping into the hole.
The eldest son thought that even if his father couldn't get in through that opening, he would know about the youkai entrance under the waterfall, but because it was the rainy season, he couldn't get in from there at all, and after this season, his father would definitely find a way.
He thought again, no!
At that time, it was winter when the iron tree pimple was burned, and my father could not enter from the hole in the mountain, so he would definitely come in from the waterfall immediately, but so far he did not come in, there were only two possibilities, one was that the father and the uncle were also in serious danger, and the other possibility was that the place where they were now was not under the waterfall and the valley at all, but another place, either far away, or somewhere else at all.
In this analysis, there are both possibilities, but they are both bad, or even completely unacceptable, and everyone would rather suffer themselves than let their families be in the slightest danger.
Thinking of this, the eldest son was in a more serious mood than when he analyzed it earlier, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
If you can't figure it out, go to sleep! This is the eldest son's own thinking rule. As soon as I lay down, my mind felt very clear, and many things that I usually felt complicated and incomprehensible suddenly became clear.
Usually when he is at home, he is the most reluctant person to sleep lazy, feeling uncomfortable with back pain when he sleeps, but every day he will wake up early for half an hour, half-squinting, imaginative, cranky, thinking about some things to think clearly, thinking about some details that are usually not noticed, and practicing into a chain, and the connection between each other will be understood.
This is the eldest son's unique magic weapon.
After lying down, the eldest son's mind slowly calmed down, and let the information and situation pass through his mind slowly, little by little, like a play.
After a while, the cousin heard a whirring snoring behind him, and it turned out that the eldest son fell asleep thinking about it.
Fortunately, recently, although he doesn't go out very much, he has more worries than anyone else, and the pressure is greater than anyone else, and he hasn't had a rest for several days, so let him sleep well. (To be continued.) )
