Desperate Night.

Chapter 9 009 Action (Xie Duyi Xijiangyue Alliance Leader)

"It's not all built by myself. I plan to use wood to assist in the construction, and the main material will still be stone. And considering that stone bricks are nowhere to be found, the only way is to find a natural stone cave," Yu Hong explained.

"Oh" The little stutterer didn't quite understand, but he felt that Yu Hong looked confident and composed, and must be a very powerful person.

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

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

He had long wanted to stop staying with the stutterer. Not only was his safety not guaranteed, but the key point was that he couldn't test his black seal casually to determine its effect.

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

"Can you take me to see it?"

He now urgently needs a place to live alone to test the specific effects of the black seal.

He was wondering what would happen if he strengthened the door and walls?
Pyroxene can be strengthened into a jade-like material, and the effect seems to have become stronger, but what about the others?
Immediately, the little stutterer put down the things in his hand and put them back in the house. Then he took Yu Hong with him and did not take the old road. Instead, he found a small path in the opposite direction and meandered into the forest.

After several days of rest, Yu Hong recovered a lot of his physical strength.

As his body recovered, he rarely saw the strange shadows during the day, which made him believe what the stutterer and Dr. Xu said.

In the cold and quiet forest.

The two of them walked forward, one in front and one behind, with one step deep and one step shallow, across the large slope and came to the bottom of the slope.

The little stutterer looked around and seemed to have found something near a tree hole.

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

"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, and looked in the direction the finger was pointing.

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

In the middle of the rock wall, suspended in mid-air, there is a dark cave.

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

Yu Hong looked at the little stutterer and found that she had already started digging vegetables everywhere, so he held the reinforced pyroxene and walked over there.

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

Take a close look at the cave in front of you.

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

There were some things like cloth bags and some furs of unknown animals placed in a mess at the bottom.

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

"Yes, but it's less." The little stutterer also followed.

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

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

The entire cave is only five meters deep, but it is slightly larger inside, about 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 as a whole, with some non-standard oval cavities.

Yu Hong thought about it and realized that compared to Xiao Jieba's house, this place was obviously much more comfortable. At least there was less mold invading his 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 fact that he can encounter so many strange shadows during the day may be 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 we are still in contact with?" Yu Hong had become more or less familiar with them in the past few days and had a rough idea of ​​them.

From the book and the little stammerer, he learned that many villagers in Baiqiu Village lived in the nearby woods. They either built their own houses or dug cellars to hide in them.

A few people left and went to the nearest town.

Among them were many people saved by Little Stutter.

The little stutterer also came in at this time and looked left and right in the cave.

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

"Okay, got it." Yu Hong nodded. He took out the prepared tape measure, which was in the stock of the little stuttering room. 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 the stutterer.

"Sure. No one will care." The little stutterer nodded vigorously.

Yu Hong was satisfied. This place was too dangerous. In fact, he wanted to live with the little bastard, but the ghost shadow was too dangerous and well disguised, making it impossible to guard against him.

In addition, the environment at Xiao Jieba's place is too bad and dirty, making it easy for him to get chronic diseases.

And the strengthening of the Black Seal must be kept secret.

These three points combined made him eager to find a suitable place to live alone.

And this cave is the best one among them.

It may take a lot of time just to get the daily necessities and renovation plan.

After all, when you live alone, you can only rely on the food you have saved at the beginning.

The cave also lacks a suitable gate, and things like chimneys and fire pits also need to be built.

After deciding on his future residence, Yu Hong began to wander around the mountains and forests selecting materials using the tools of his little bastard.

He didn't know what kind of wood the gate could be made of, 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 items, and also began to select materials.

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

Dead trees are dry enough to provide maximum moisture protection.

Then it was time to chop trees. With a weak body and powerless arms, Yu Hongcai chopped trees for a day. When he came back, his arms were sore and he couldn't move at all the next day.

then
Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

Click.

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

"More?"

She turned around, looked at Yu Hong with a complicated expression, and asked seriously.

"." Yu Hong had an indescribable look on his face and he shook his head.

"enough."

Walking forward, he began to cut off the branches with a machete, selecting the straight part of the trunk, and then cutting 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 also done carpentry work in the countryside for a period of time.

Although I am not very skilled, I understand the basic steps and processes.

The little stutterer watched from the side and came over to help from time to time out of curiosity.

Soon, it was dark. The two men dropped their things and returned to the house with their tools to rest and wait for the next day.

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

Because Little Stutter ate too fast and his food was almost finished, he made an appointment with Dr. Xu to go to Old Yu to buy some more.

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

So she stood up and waved happily.

"Xu! Here! This!"

"." Doctor Xu walked closer slowly and frowned when he saw Yu Hong was still there.

"Didn't we just change the food? I was wondering why it was gone again, turns out there was one more person." She said in a bad tone.

"Yu Hong is very good!" The little stutterer waved her hands quickly, "He is doing a better job. His house is safer than mine!" She obviously agreed with Yu Hong's statement and helped to defend him.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go quickly. The sooner we go, the sooner we can come back." Doctor Xu glanced at Yu Hong who was not far away. Seeing that he was about to stand up and say hello, he took a few steps closer and looked at him.

"What are your plans?" These days, she would occasionally chat with Little Stutter and ask him, knowing that this guy in front of her was busy working on his own things all day long.

All the eating and drinking depended on Xiao Jieba, who helped to find two servings, which put a lot of pressure on him.

Originally everyone had only enough food to keep them half full, and now there was one more young man.
"I plan to build a safe house. Although I have to rely on Yiyi for food and drink temporarily, believe me, I will be able to move out soon. I will remember everything Yiyi has helped me now. When I am stable, I will repay her!" Yu Hong saw the other party's intention.

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

"When I build a safer place to live, I can help Yiyi build a safer and better one! Her house is not safe at all. If she runs into bigger troubles, 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 won't be safer if we 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 people leave. Only when their shadows disappeared did he withdraw his gaze and look up at the sky.

The bright sunshine made him feel safe.

In this kind of weather, even a ghost shadow would not appear rashly.

After a short rest, he continued to cut the wood with the saw.

He sawed the quickly burned tree trunks into thick, long wooden boards.

Burning the surface is to prevent corrosion, kill a few insect eggs, and remove excess moisture from the outside.

Once cut into wooden boards, they can be joined together, using the mortise and tenon structure, to create a strong and sturdy wooden door.

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

Then cut a ridge out of another thick wooden board that fits the hole perfectly.

Finally, embed the protrusion into the hole to form 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 long, thick and hard wooden boards.

He did not make it completely and drag it over, but instead carried the finished wooden planks over piece by piece like building blocks and assembled them into the entrance of the cave.

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

Strengthened piece by piece of pyroxene.

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

Early morning hours.

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

The whole wooden door is completely finished, and there is a free door panel in the middle that can be opened. The appearance is quite rough.

This is assembled using parts taken from other houses in the village and combined with wood.

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

The entire entrance to the cave was now completely blocked by a 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 shadow from entering the door.

Since pyroxene can disperse the ghost shadow, if we place pyroxene reasonably in the ghost shadow's path, can it also prevent it from entering?
