The eldest son suddenly thought of the wild man who lived in the cave below the valley of the new castle, and all this time, these continuous strange things were not related to the wild man?

Since my father brought the family here, although life is still difficult these years, but on the whole it is quite stable, and there is no danger, everyone is healthy, the baby is also thriving, the family is planting more and more land, and the livestock are becoming more and more prosperous.

Also, before they went to pick up their cousin and aunt, someone in front of the old castle sent the tools.

There are many puzzles and questions, but it seems that all the answers point to one result, that is, outside of their world, there is a parallel world here, and there are not only them here.

But fortunately, this parallel world doesn't seem to have any ill will towards them, but helps them from time to time.

Thinking of this, the eldest son felt that since this is the case, then this hole can be opened, but since it is to be opened, it is necessary to be fully prepared.

When the uncle heard this idea, he felt that the eldest son could see things through and handle it steadily.

Half a month after the spring paddy field is plowed, it is time to sow the rice seedlings.

So, if you want to open this hole, you either have to wait early, or simply wait until the crops are harvested. Because as long as the seeds are off the ground, the work on the farm will be one after another, and there is no idle at all, not to mention that there are so many livestock to take care of at home, which is also a big burden.

As far as rice planting is concerned, starting from plowing spring paddy fields, there are so many links, and there are still endless things to do in each link, such as making seedlings, plowing grains, plowing fields, cutting grass at the edge of the field, spreading fertilizer, pulling seedlings, transplanting seedlings, managing water, pulling weeds, top dressing, releasing water, harvesting, threshing, drying grain, and storage.

In addition to growing rice. There are many, many endless jobs at home, such as bud grain, sugarcane, radish, potato cob, potato, cotton, hemp, spicy seeds, pumpkin, watermelon, lotus pond, fish farming, cattle herding, deer, pig feeding, pig weed, and weeds cutting livestock sheds.

Speaking of which, winter is relatively quiet. At least the crops are all harvested, and all you need to do is burn some charcoal for the fire and take care of the livestock, and when you have time, you can go out hunting and go around.

In this way, if you don't hurry up, you will open the hole in the next few days, or wait until winter, when the crops will be recovered, and you will feel at ease. If you are ignorant and open the hole now, if there is an accident that affects the crops and cannot be planted, the harvest of that year will be in vain, and the life and food of the family will become a problem.

After thinking about it, in the end everyone decided to wait for this winter, and don't open the hole to get salt here, after the eldest son goes back. Quickly plug the hole with a stone to prevent other animals from entering and scaring people.

The eldest son said. My father said that he had already leveled the seedling field, that is, the bed where the rice seedlings were raised, and after drying the water in the field, he also let the mud bask in the sun for two days, and the seeds for the grain seeds had been soaked in warm water and sprouted. When they return, they will be able to sow the sprouted seeds into the seedlings.

The uncle said that they were also going to sow grain seeds in two days, and the weather was just right these days, or it would get cold in a few days. If you can't sow it down, it will only freeze the sprouts of the grain seeds.

Everyone was talking and talking, and the night was getting late.

My cousin had already arranged a place for a few of them to live, so he and his cousin went to stand guard.

The cousin stood on the top of the castle, looking at the sparkling starry sky in the night sky, looking at the hairy moon, breathing the cool air in the night sky, and his mood was extremely relaxed, full of yearning and confidence for a better life in the future.

Because it was late, my cousin did not arrange to take turns to stand guard, and he and his cousin stood until dawn.

As dawn approached, they noticed something incredible happening outside the castle. As the rooster crowed, the blue sky slowly turned gray and white, and the sky was about to dawn.

At this moment, the cousin and cousin, who were also a little sleepy, suddenly heard a sound of gongs and drums outside the castle, followed by the sound of suona, as if someone's family had received a happy event. Just as he wondered if he was dreaming, he heard the sound of these loud instruments getting closer and closer, and found that his cousin had also heard this sound, and he also wondered where this sound came from.

The two men watched for a long time, but they didn't see anyone walking in front of the castle, but they heard the sound getting closer and louder.

The cousin, who was naturally bold, decided not to call people first, and the two of them would see it clearly.

After a while, the sound of the ringer had reached the sun-ching flat in front of the castle, and the cousin decided not to do anything, but to give it a try to see what strange thing it was.

Then he took a bamboo arrow made of iron arrowhead, burned it in the fire until it turned a little red, drew the bow full, and shot it at the place where the sound came from.

I only heard a "whoosh" sound, and the arrow flew downward, as if it had touched something, and I felt that the arrow was blocked, and it bounced back and fell on the grass of the sunning lawn. As the arrow landed, the sound of the rattle was no longer audible.

Then there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing under the castle, and only the sound of the wind could be heard, and it seemed that countless people and animals were running down from above, but they could not see it really.

My cousin had never seen anything strange since he was a child, and this was the first time—if it had not been his own dream—and though he had the courage to lie down on the battlements of the castle and look down, with his cousin and a few dogs and wolves beside him, he felt a chill behind him, and when the wind subsided, he felt his clothes soaked—and he was no longer embarrassed to say that he was bold.

"You!" the cousin was staring in a daze, when suddenly a scream came from behind him, which frightened his legs and fell to the ground.

Before I could see what was going on, I heard something spill behind me.

"Mother, why did you come up!"

The cousin also turned around from the fright and hurriedly asked.

Only then did the cousin know that it was the mother who quietly went up to the top of the castle, and only then did she know that she was just scolding the dirty things passing by below, and that what she threw out must have been a handful of rice with tea.

When I was in my hometown. If there is a strong wind for no reason, the old people will chew some dried tea leaves with their teeth, and sprinkle them with saliva and a handful of rice towards the windy place, which must have been the case just now.

So to put it this way. They also heard the sound of the rattle, and they also heard the wind. When my cousin asked, it was true.

After a while, the eldest uncle and eldest son also came up, and when they asked what was going on, everyone couldn't believe that there was such a dirty thing in this deep mountain.

Uncle said, who will find these things in the future. Just tell the dog and the little wolf to bite, and poke the red-hot steel drill to see if it dares to be scary.

"Why don't you plant some camphor trees nearby, the smell of camphor trees is very strong, and this tree can drive away dirty things. ”

After dawn, everyone came to the valley and saw that there was still a trace of blood on the arrow, but it had become black and purple.

By noon. Two dogs brought back from the downstream an animal that everyone had never seen before, with a pointed mouth. It has a short body, long legs, an asymmetrical face, a messy tail, and a particularly ugly look, and a finger-sized wound on the neck. A lot of blood was shed, and it didn't seem to have been bitten by a dog, so there was only one possibility, that is, he was killed by his cousin's arrow at night, but he was not killed on the spot. Instead, I ran down for a distance.

Thinking that this dirty thing was still scary at night, the uncle asked the children to sprinkle a thick layer of human and pig dung on the edge of the sunning flat, and then set up firewood on it to burn this ugly dirty thing to ashes.

After the beginning of spring, everyone took advantage of the not too busy time to transplant some camphor trees from nearby and plant them around the castle, and these dirty things have never been seen again.

The eldest son stayed here for two nights, and only went home on the third day, and when he got home, he hurried with everyone to plug the hole that had collapsed, and then he was busy sowing seeds in the seedling field.

The days passed so fast, spring went to autumn, and it was winter again. When all the crops had been harvested and put into storage, the eldest son felt that it was time to open the hole, so he consulted with his father about when it would be better to start the work.

The father seemed to have some ears behind his ears, and the eldest son asked three times in a row, and the father said that he heard it, but he didn't answer, let alone say anything.

The eldest son understands his father's thoughts, in fact, he doesn't really want to open this hole, although now this road up and down the mountain is more difficult to walk, and it is also a little dangerous, but there is basically no big problem, if everyone walks often, some animals will also take the initiative to avoid, after all, animals are still afraid of people, not to mention that every time they pass by, there are still so many dogs and little wolves.

And once this hole is opened, no one can say what the situation is inside, for example, the eldest son took people to the mountains to hunt the year before last, walked into a cave, went for a whole year, and made the family almost ruined, even so, this is not bad, if there is any danger inside, then what can be done.

At the beginning of the year, some dirty things swaggered past the front of the old castle, and they beat gongs and drums, and you said it was scary.

Although the eldest son knows his father's thoughts, as a young man, he still wants to do something.

In fact, his idea is not completely unreasonable, several families on both sides seem to be just separated by a mountain, but from this side to that side, it takes a whole day to set off early, not to mention the hard work, nor can it be said that there is no danger at all, and this danger, as long as it is encountered once, it is an irreparable consequence.

It was precisely because of these problems that the father was not determined to solve the current difficulties and facilitate the daily contact and correspondence between the two families, but also to fully consider the potential dangers and costs, some of which could not be afforded.

The father has completely entrusted the affairs of this family to the eldest son, but he does not dare to make the decision alone for such a big matter, and he also knows that he is young, and he may have most of the general things at home, and there is not much problem in taking people out to hunt, but there are some things that he has experienced less after all, because if there are some things that you have not encountered, even if others have told you ten times or eight times, you have no feeling, of course, there is no way to deal with it, and when things come out, When danger comes, you will inevitably pay the price for your recklessness.

For this family, these people who live in this mountain now are all the hope and continuation of the entire family, and there can be no problems, so when my father explained to him, he repeatedly told him to think more and think thoroughly before doing anything.

The father didn't mention it again for a few days, and the eldest son was too embarrassed to say anything more, knowing that his father hadn't thought about it yet, or didn't plan to do it at all.

Originally, I didn't have any hopes or thoughts about this matter, but one morning, ten days later, my father suddenly called the family together to discuss the matter, saying that he would not go out to work today, and he would not arrange hunting.

As you know, this tense moment has arrived. Sure enough, my father didn't talk around the bend, but got straight to the point.

"I know you've been waiting for this day for a long time, and I've been thinking about it for so long before I finally made up my mind," he said.

It is okay to open the cave, but you must be fully prepared, first of all, you must make an appointment with the people on the other side of the old castle, and the two families should act together, and secondly, you must choose a good time, especially on the day when the sun is the biggest and brightest, and again you must gather the women and the baby on both sides together, so that you can also concentrate your strength to prevent strange things from coming out, and finally you must prepare enough things for the cave. ”

Five days later, my father looked at the sky and thought that the sun should be good to-day, and by this time he had gathered all the people to the old castle, where the entrance to the mouth was the most convenient.

By noon, under the direct command of his father, several young students used hoes and steel drills to pry open the stones and clods that had sealed the hole.

After a while, the hole that had been blocked for more than half a year was opened again, and opening it today means that it will no longer need to be sealed.

After the entrance of the cave was opened, there was no strange thing that might appear as expected, everything was the same as when I first came in, except for the salt cubes that were piled all over the ground, there was nothing else, more than a dozen torches illuminated the cave brightly, and it was not much different from the sun outside, and a dozen dogs and little wolves followed closely around the master, which made so many people suddenly feel a lot of courage.

Coming to the place where the last time my cousin knocked on the cave wall to make a sound, the eldest son picked up the steel drill and drew a circle on the stone wall. (To be continued.) )

PS: Some time ago, there were only a few people watching it every day, and sometimes there was no one for a day or two, and my heart was extremely desolate. In the past few days, there have been significantly more people reading books - although it is still pitiful, but it is always a comfort, after all, more than 8,000 words have to be updated every day, and the hard work can be imagined. Of course, I also figured out that this is my first book after all, a stage of continuous learning and thinking and progress, and a process of familiarity with me by the majority of book friends. Therefore, no matter what, I will persevere and finish this book, not only for an ideal and a belief in my heart, but also for those few book friends who persistently encourage me! Thank you and bless you!
