Because the distance was not close, and the situation had to be observed, the people on the mountain waited for four days before the second son came back with people.

Then the second son slowly talked about what he had found in the past few days, near the black hole at the mouth of the stinky ditch, they found some monster activity, which seemed to be connecting the water pipe, but they didn't know what to do.

In the iron tree lumps, they felt that the antennas of those tree rows were hot, which was not like this in previous years, and the feeling like trees meant that they were in emergency contact with other places.

At the entrance of the cave where they went home, they found that the iron gate that had blocked the entrance of the cave last time was gone, and the entrance to the cave was empty, indicating that they were ready to escape.

Based on these circumstances, the eldest son came to the same judgment as the second son, that is, the monsters in the cave are now in chaos, if they rush a fire here at this time, put these water in it, burn some things, and then form a strong pressure in their hearts, it will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire, and can only force them to speed up and escape.

Several cousins and cousins were about to release the water, but the eldest son suddenly stopped them, "Wait a minute, let me think again." I always felt like there was something going on in here that was pulling us to do this. ”

Everyone looked at him strangely, wondering what he had noticed.

After a while, the eldest son said, "Come here." Here's a situation. Let's try to be as safe as possible and not fall into the trap of youkai. ”

After everyone gathered around, he told everyone that it would not be waterproof for the time being today, and then put it again tomorrow.

But before releasing the water, there are several preparations, one is that the people who release the water can evacuate at any time, and there is a possibility that monsters will come out of this water inlet to block the water, and it is inevitable that there will be fights at that time; At the same time as the water is released here, the water of a few poisonous weeds is blocked, or it is led to another place, so that each group needs to arrange one person to stand on the tallest tree in the vicinity to contact this place and watch the gestures here; Once the inlet into the demon cave is blocked, or the monster moves the bamboo slips somewhere else, then all our hard work will be in vain.

And once the poisonous and non-toxic water is gone, they will definitely take the water from the source of the mountain, and then they need to divert the water so that they have no water to use.

A very young cousin with a childish childish emphasis, "What's the use of you diverting the poisonous water? They won't be able to use it anyway." ”

The cousin standing next to him smiled and said, "Silly boy, if they find out that this water is poisonous." With their powerful skills, it's very easy to get rid of the poison in the water. ”

As he spoke, his cousin's smiling face suddenly turned red.

The next morning, everyone set off separately and took care of the spring water in their respective places, and only waited for the water from this side to enter the hole.

At the same time, in order to make it easier for everyone to communicate in the woods. It was arranged for some people to stand on the highest roof in the vicinity and shake it with something of the brightest red color. This is how to get the message across.

Soon after the water flowed into the demon cave, everyone passed through the sound of running water at the entrance of the cave, and sure enough, they heard that there seemed to be a mess below, and there was a sound of moving things closing the door, and there was also a crisp sound of things falling to the ground.

The eldest son estimated that they would come out to block the water. Quietly evacuated to a far away.

As soon as they hid behind a tree, they spotted several youkai coming out of the water inlet, and quickly reversed the direction of the bamboo slips, allowing the water to flow down the ravine.

However, the youkai I saw this time. It no longer looks like a spider, only its hands, feet and body, and its slender neck and small head are also sticking out, like a turtle that has just come out of the water, ugly and dead.

Strangely, these monsters didn't do anything other than move the direction of the bamboo slips, and they didn't even look around, they knew that it was done by humans.

The eldest son hid behind a tree, and wondered if he was really wrong to blame these monsters? Wasn't this a monster? Or were they creatures more advanced, friendly, and civilized than humans? Even though he had seen so much that he could hardly figure out the mystery.

Seeing this situation, the eldest son suddenly felt soft and soft, not a taste.

It's like if you insist on practicing boxing every day, vowing to win an opponent, but when you fight him, he doesn't respond, and this kind of silent protest is the most uncomfortable, even more unbearable than defeating you.

Since the demons do not have the intention of harming humans, many of the previous judgments seem to be a misunderstanding, these demons do not take humans in their eyes, and they do not specifically get along with the Xiyan family, nor do they hunt the animals here, they just borrow such a place.

In terms of distance, it is only five or six days from home, and if there is no need to build an overnight house in between, it will only take three or four days at the earliest, and it is entirely possible for those bad guys to find out and even come to this place.

What's more, it is very likely that the existence of these demons has cut off this valley from its hometown and the outside world, so that it can be protected from the invasion of foreign enemies and bad people.

If it weren't for the protection of these demons, the Xiyan family might not have existed in this troubled world.

When I first dealt with the eldest son, several elders just felt that the eldest son had a quick idea, and then faintly felt that he might be the head of the family, so they consciously obeyed his leadership and arrangement. The young descendants of this age are truly conquered by his personal charm, and they pray that he is the head of the Xiyan family, which is the blessing of the family and the blessing of the soul.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, the eldest son told everyone to remove all the poisonous weeds and other measures, so that all things could return to the way they were, and discussed with everyone whether to go home.

At this point, everyone has been convinced of the eldest son's ideas and character, and what he says is what he says.

"Thank you all for believing in me. But I really didn't have an idea about whether or not to go home or how to get there. If you have any ideas, please feel free to bring them up, and we will discuss them together. ”

The eldest son said modestly. "We're going to call them demons like that—let's call them demons, if we call them another way, we're really not used to it for a while. Of course, I didn't find a better one, they were too ugly to look at - they didn't hold a grudge against us, they didn't hunt us down, and with their skills, they could do that. We did something wrong, sorry people. Why don't you go down and apologize, so that we can stand up and be human beings in the future? ”

He also has a subtext that when the eldest son and his brothers first entered the cave, they killed a lot of demons, and even wiped out their demon kings.

But he really couldn't say this, for fear of embarrassing his eldest son.

How could the eldest son not hear what he said, and go in to say hello and apologize before leaving. That's exactly what he wanted.

"I don't think it's necessary, to be honest, I'm terrified when I see them. A little child pouted.

"What does the little ass know?!" his father happened to be standing behind him, laughing and kicking him in the ass, causing everyone to laugh.

The eldest son couldn't laugh either, and said seriously, "Otherwise."

We left some of us to guard the things and tools, and the others went down with me. Say apologies and say hello. Then we went home. It just so happens that the cave downstream has also been opened, and we will be able to go back in two days at the earliest. ”

After breakfast in the morning, I found some stout cow ropes, and then brought down some lighted fir manuscripts and threw them aside.

Waited for about a bag of cigarettes. The following is the same as back then, there is no movement, the eldest son arranged for someone to go down, and the second son led the team to walk in front, because he went down once after all. Get a glimpse of what's going on below.

Although the water has been cut off below, the ground is still wet, and the lights are not so bright, and in some places there are crackling and blinking, and in other places it is simply black.

Since they came to apologize and say goodbye, everyone was very relaxed, neither vigilant nor defensive, just walking like this.

When I walked a dozen feet along the slightly curved road, I was blocked by a large door in front of me, and I grabbed the doorknob with my hand and pushed it gently, but the door opened.

The inside of the door was a little brighter than here, but it was still empty, making everyone feel a little hot face sticking to a cold butt.

However, once it comes, it is safe, and it is here to apologize, do you still need people to line up to greet you?

Then, through an empty hall, up a spiral staircase, to a place that is a bit like eating.

The strange thing is that the table is full of food and drink, the table is full of incense, and even the bowls, chopsticks, and spoons for rice are neatly arranged.

The dishes were still steaming, apparently just made.

What's even more strange is that these dishes are not the insect paste that everyone used to eat in the cave, but the dishes of the hometown, and there are a lot of peppers and ginger in the dishes, and even those shallots and celery are the taste of the hometown.

A basin is used to fill each table with a bowl full of rice, and there is also a special rice spoon in the basin.

The table is clean, and the figures on the ground are even more spotless, and I am afraid of getting dirty when I step on it.

You don't have to think about it to know that these meals are specially prepared for the people who come in.

You see how thoughtful people are, although they haven't met yet, but their sincerity is no worse than those courtesies in their hometown.

Everyone was stunned by this scene and didn't know what to do.

The eldest son is not surprised, judging from the situation over the years, it is reasonable for everyone to apologize and say goodbye today, and it is reasonable to have this courtesy.

He beckoned everyone to sit down and eat quickly, and then speak when they were full.

Everyone has been eating grass root bark on the mountain for so long, and they have been eating other monotonous things in the cave for many years, and suddenly they saw such a sumptuous meal like a banquet set by someone's family.

After a while, some of the dishes on the table disappeared.

Although the eldest son was very hungry, when he saw this table full of good food, he also swallowed his saliva, and after everyone sat down, he was the last to take up the dinner and fill the meal, pick up the chopsticks and pick up the vegetables, and he couldn't make people laugh.

Taking advantage of everyone's eating, he stood up with his rice bowl, glanced at the audience, and found that all the seats were full, no more than one and no less, these demons were really thoughtful, and they also counted the number of people very accurately, I don't know how they did it.

After eating some of the things on their own table, they began to reach out and eat the things on the table next to them, and if they couldn't get them, they grabbed them, and if they couldn't grab them, they beat them.

The team that was polite, orderly, and sanctimonious just now completely revealed their true faces in front of this meal.

The eldest son saw that this was not a problem, but he couldn't stop it, and it was not easy to stop it, and a few of the people who took the lead in snatching food from other people's tables turned out to be elder cousins.

Just when he was flushed with shame and didn't know what to do, he saw the door of the dining room creak open.

Immediately afterwards, a few strange-looking people came over with a small cart Ding Dong Ding Dong, and asked everyone in their hometown dialect: "You eat slowly, if it's not enough, there are still here." ”

As he spoke, he spooned the nearby table to add vegetables and rice until he couldn't put it down.

That's when everyone knew they were standing up and saying "thank you" to the person who was feeding them.

But the men just smiled and didn't answer. Seeing that there were still unfinished meals, the few people who were fighting just now because they couldn't eat enough and couldn't grab it, also stopped and waited quietly for these people to push the cart over.

Seeing this scene, the eldest son was ashamed, and the second and third sons also felt shameless.

When the people with the carts came up to the eldest son, he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh." ”

The man with the cart just smiled, but did not answer, and added a lot of money to their table with both hands.

The second son, third son, cousin, and cousin, who were sitting at the same table with the eldest son, saw clearly that there seemed to be something wrong with these people, so they kicked the eldest son under their feet, and when he didn't react, he stepped on it again.

Only then did the eldest son notice that these people were really very different from them, their walking steps were very hard, their legs and feet did not seem to be very flexible, and their hands were the same.

Judging from the appearance, the complexion is also hard, very rigid, not like a real person.

And the skin is also rough, and some places are reflective.

The eldest son thought left and right, and really couldn't figure out that there were such people in the world. Just when he was puzzled, he heard the man who served the meal say, "Sir, don't look at it. I'm a robot, not a human. ”

It's not a human!It's a demon!(To be continued.) )
