Desperate Night

"Not all of it is built by myself. I plan to use wood to assist in the construction, and the main material is still stone. Considering that stone bricks cannot be found, the only way is to find a natural stone cave." Yu Hong explained.

"Oh" Little Stutter didn't understand much, but felt that Yu Hong's expression was confident and calm, and he should be a very powerful person.

"I'll help you!" She patted her chest and said. "I know one, hunting, cave!"

"Cave?" Yu Hong's eyes lit up.

He didn't want to stay with Little Stutter for a long time. Not only was his safety not guaranteed, but the key was that his black seal could not be tested casually to determine the effect.

Touching the third piece of reinforced white stone in his trouser pocket, that is, reinforced pyroxene, Yu Hong made a quick decision.

"Can you take me to see it?"

He urgently needed a place to live alone to test the specific effect of the black seal.

He was thinking, what would happen if he strengthened the door and wall?

Pyroxene can be strengthened into a material similar to jade, and the effect seems to have become stronger. What about the others?

Immediately, Xiao Jieba put down the things in his hand, put them back in the house, and then took Yu Hong with him. Instead of taking the old road, he found a small path in the opposite direction and walked into the forest.

After several days of recuperation, Yu Hong's physical strength has recovered a lot.

Because of his physical recovery, he rarely saw the strange shadows during the day, which made him believe in what Xiao Jieba and Dr. Xu said.

In the cold and quiet forest.

The two of them walked forward one after the other, crossing a large slope and coming to the bottom of the slope.

Xiao Jieba looked around and seemed to have found something beside a tree hole.

She walked over and reached out to touch some marks on the edge of the tree hole.

"It's right here." She said seriously.

Then, before Yu Hong was about to ask, she raised her hand and pointed to the distance on the right.

Yu Hong was stunned, followed the finger and looked over there.

I saw a gray rock wall vaguely appearing from the distance of the forest.

In the middle of the rock wall, hanging in the air, there is a dark cave.

The entrance of the cave is at least two or three meters above the ground, but some depressions have been dug out to serve as steps.

Yu Hong looked at the little stammerer and found that she had already started to dig vegetables everywhere, so he held the reinforced pyroxene and walked towards that side.

Soon, he came to the bottom of the rock wall.

He carefully looked at the cave in front of him.

The entrance of the cave is more than two people high and more than one person wide. The inside is not deep. The bottom of the cave can be seen from the outside with the help of sunlight.

There are some things like cloth bags placed in a mess at the bottom, and there are also some furs of unknown animals.

"Are there animals here too?" Yu Hong couldn't help asking.

"Yes, but few." The little stammerer also followed at this time.

"Before, there were many black disasters, but now there are fewer."

Yu Hong nodded, climbed up along the depression, and walked into the cave.

The whole cave is only more than five meters deep, and the inside is slightly larger, more than three meters wide, just enough for one person to rest.

The ground is quite dry and has no musty smell, which is obviously related to the rock material here.

The cave is oval in shape, with some non-standard oval cavities.

Yu Hong thought about it and felt that it was much more comfortable than the house of the little bastard. At least there was no mold attacking the lungs, so he could live longer.

The most important thing is that the Baiqiu Village itself feels a bit weird. He always feels that the reason why he can encounter so many ghosts during the day is probably related to the environment of Baiqiu Village.

Otherwise, why are so many villagers unwilling to continue living there? You know, there are so many ready-made houses there.

"By the way, Yiyi, do you know how many villagers are still in contact with you?" Yu Hong has become more or less familiar with them these days and knows a rough idea.

From the book and the little bastard, he learned that many villagers in Baiqiu Village live in the nearby forests, either building their own houses or digging cellars to hide in them.

A few people left and went to the nearest town.

Among them, many people saved by the little bastard were included.

Little Stutter followed in and looked around the cave.

"There are four more around." She counted on her fingers. "Except us."

"Yeah, got it." Yu Hong nodded. He took out the prepared tape measure, which was the inventory in Little Stutter's house. Then he measured the data of the cave entrance up and down.

Then he climbed down again and observed the surrounding environment.

"Can I live here?" he asked Little Stutter.

"Sure. No one will take care of it." Little Stutter nodded vigorously.

Yu Hong was satisfied. This place was too dangerous. In fact, he wanted to live with Little Stutter, but the ghost shadow was too dangerous and the disguise was too good to guard against.

In addition, the environment over there was too bad and too dirty, and it was easy to get chronic diseases.

And the strengthening of the black mark must be kept secret.

These three points added up to make him eager to find a suitable place to live alone.

And this cave was the best one.

It might take a lot of time to get living supplies and transformation plans.

After all, living alone, you can only rely on the food you have accumulated at the beginning.

The cave also lacks a suitable gate, and there are also flues and fire pits that need to be built.

After determining the future residence, Yu Hong began to wander around the forest with the tools of the little bastard to select materials.

He didn't know what kind of wood could be used to make the gate, but he knew it had to be hard and strong enough.

In the next few days, Yu Hong continued to design the structure of his cave, the gate, and various furniture and things, and also began to select materials.

Soon, he chose a dead tree that was hard enough.

The dead tree was dry enough to prevent moisture to the greatest extent.

Then it was time to chop the tree.

With a weak body and weak arms, Yu Hong only chopped for a day. When he came back, his arms were sore and he couldn't move at all the next day.

So

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

Crack.

The little stutterer held the axe and watched the dead tree in front of him, which was as thick as his thigh, slowly break and fall.

"Do you want more?"

She turned her head and looked at Yu Hong with a complicated expression and asked seriously.

"." Yu Hong had an expression that he couldn't describe, and he shook his head.

"Enough."

He walked forward and began to cut off the branches with a machete, selected the straight part of the trunk, and then cut out the approximate length according to the data of the cave entrance.

Although he was just an ordinary office worker before coming here, he had done carpentry work in the countryside for a period of time.

Although he was not skilled, he knew a little about the basic steps and processes.

Little Stutter watched from the side and came to help from time to time out of curiosity.

Soon, it was dark, and the two dropped their things, carried their tools and returned to the house to rest and wait for tomorrow.

After a night of nothing, after eating, the two came here again and continued the work that they had not finished yesterday.

Because the food was almost finished because the little stutter ate too fast, he asked Dr. Xu to go to Old Yu to buy some more.

She helped to deal with the dead trees, and soon saw Dr. Xu approaching from the woods in the distance.

So she stood up and waved happily.

"Xu! Here! This!"

"." Dr. Xu slowly approached and frowned when he saw Yu Hong was still there.

"Didn't you just change the food? I was wondering why it was gone again, and it turned out that there was one more person." Her tone was not very good.

"Yu Hong is very powerful!" Little Stutter waved his hand quickly, "He is doing a better house. It is safer than my house!" She obviously agreed with Yu Hong's statement and helped to defend him at this time.

"Forget it, no more talk, hurry up and go, go early and come back early." Doctor Xu glanced at Yu Hong who was not far away, and saw that he was about to stand up and say hello, so she walked a few steps closer and looked at him.

"What are you planning?" These days, she would occasionally chat with Xiao Jieba and ask him, knowing that this guy in front of her was busy making his own things all day long.

Eating and drinking all depended on Xiao Jieba, who helped to find two portions, which made Xiao Jieba's burden much heavier.

Originally, everyone's food could only sustain half fullness, and now there was an additional young man's food.

"I plan to build a safe house. Now I have to rely on Yiyi for food and drink temporarily, but believe me, I will be able to move out soon. Now I remember everything Yiyi helped me. When I am stable, I will repay her!" Yu Hong saw the other party's intention.

After a paragraph, he saw that the other party's expression eased a little, and continued.

"When I build a safer place, I can help Yiyi build a safer and better one! Her house is not safe. If she encounters a bigger trouble, she will definitely not be able to survive! Then she will know the benefits of a safe house."

"It's up to you, but it's not safer to move to another place!" Doctor Xu obviously didn't believe it. "Don't drag Yiyi down."

"No!" Yu Hong said seriously.

Doctor Xu stared at him for a while, said nothing more, and left with Yiyi.

Yu Hong stood in the woods, watching the two leave, until there was no shadow, then he retracted his gaze and looked up at the sky.

The bright sunshine made him feel safe.

In this kind of weather, even ghosts would not appear rashly.

After a short rest, he continued to concentrate on cutting the wood with a saw.

The quickly burned sections of tree trunks were sawed into thick and long wooden boards by him.

The surface was burned for anti-corrosion, burning a few insects and eggs, and removing excess moisture from the outside.

After cutting into wooden boards, they can be spliced ​​together, and the mortise and tenon structure can be used to create a solid and sturdy wooden door.

The simplest type of mortise and tenon structure used by Yu Hong is to dig a hole in the cross section of a thick wooden board.

Then cut a bulge that fits the hole perfectly on another thick wooden board.

Finally, the bulge is embedded in the hole, and it is a complete mortise and tenon structure.

The biggest advantage of this structure is that it does not require nails.

Using the splicing technique, Yu Hong slowly and painstakingly made thick and hard long wooden boards.

He did not make them completely and drag them over, but brought the finished wooden strips and boards over one by one like building blocks and spliced ​​them to the entrance of the cave.

During this period, he was also constantly testing the effect of the black seal.

Strengthened one piece of pyroxene after another.

As time went by, just when Yu Hong was almost used to the strange smell of dried meat, the wooden door of the cave was finally completed.

In the early morning.

Yu Hong came to the entrance of the cave alone and spliced ​​the last thick wooden board of the wooden door.

The entire wooden door was completely finished, and a free door panel that could be opened in the middle was made. The appearance was quite rough.

These were parts removed from other houses in the village and assembled with wood.

In addition, the large nails used to connect the wood and stone surfaces around were also sponsored by those houses.

The entire cave entrance was now completely blocked by the thick gray-black wooden door.

Yu Hong walked in alone and placed a piece of reinforced white stone in a groove behind the door.

This was the method he came up with to prevent the ghost from entering the door.

Since pyroxene can disperse ghosts, can it also prevent ghosts from entering if pyroxene is placed reasonably on their path?
