Chapter 8

Watching Little Stutter put away the dry goods, then he picked up the small jar and walked out.

Yu Hong quickly followed. He had to learn where to get water.

The two walked out of the house. To his surprise, Little Stutter did not go to the well to fetch water, but walked out of the gravel road and walked along the old road.

We walked for about ten minutes.

The two of them found a low-lying rotten well on the side of the road.

The well is very shallow, and you can see it with the help of light. There is only a pool of dark yellow smelly water at the bottom.

Without saying a word, Little Stutter tied the water tank with a rope and put it down to scoop out water.

"Why don't you go to the well in the village to get water?" Yu Hong couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"That's not drinkable!" Little Stutterer replied seriously.

She raised her head to fetch water and looked at Yu Hong.

"In the future, water, come here!" She pointed to the well in front of her.

"." Yu Hong nodded. He looked down at the smelly water slowly flowing out of the well, and his heart became heavier.

Help Little Stutter seal the water tank to prevent it from spilling.

They did not go back, but began to look for something in the nearby grass.

"You must eat grass!" Little Stutter taught him.

"Otherwise, I will get sick! I will die!" She explained with gestures.

Yu Hong nodded and began to carefully study what kind of grass the other party was digging.

This is a very valuable experience. If you eat it wrongly, you may be poisoned or suffer from diarrhea. In this harsh environment, getting sick may mean weakness or death.

After some collecting, the two of them each brought a large bag back to the house.

Little Stammer put the grass in the window of the house to dry.

Yu Hong carefully recorded the experience he learned with charcoal. He only recorded the key points, or a simplified version, as long as he could understand it.

The record carrier was a newspaper given to him by Little Stammer.

"Can we only buy dried meat and mushrooms from far away places?" Yu Hong made a note, raised his head and asked.

"You can grow it yourself." Little Stutterer struggled to answer, "But it's not cost-effective!"

Yu Hong nodded and recorded it.

He was about to continue asking, but suddenly a small notebook was handed to him.

The cover of the notebook is white, with a cartoon mouse pattern in the middle. On it is written crookedly: Survival Essentials Manual - Lin Yiyi.

Yu Hong was silent for a moment, then looked up and saw Xiao Stutter holding a notebook and grinning at him, showing his big yellow teeth.

"Thank you." He took the notebook, opened it and looked through it.

The above carefully records how to get water, how to buy food, the characteristics of some basic wild vegetables and where to find them.

Not much content, but very detailed.

Moreover, it also records several villagers who can be contacted in Baiqiu Village, as well as their corresponding contact information.

Among them, Lao Yu is the one who makes dried meat, there is Dr. Xu who is responsible for treating patients, one named Jenny is responsible for leather making and handicrafts, and there is also candle making. In addition, there are other villagers' residences marked. But

He didn't even write his name, so he was obviously not familiar with them.

Finally, there is a place called the post office, located in a forest to the north of Baiqiu Village.

"What does the post office do?" Yu Hong asked.

"Contact the city to purchase goods, salt, sugar, and deliver letters." The little stutterer spoke with great difficulty.

She danced and gestured.

"You must master a craft and exchange people for materials."

"I understand. I understand all these, but I think the most important thing to solve first is the safety issue." Yu Hong said seriously.

"While you were away, two pretenders came to trouble you. This is too dangerous."

His mind was spinning rapidly, how to use his unique black mark to obtain maximum safety.

"No way." Little Stutterer obviously understood this and lowered his head in frustration.

"There is nothing in the way of the mysterious shadow. Insects can get through as long as there is a gap."

"They can go through the wall!" she gestured.

Through the wall??

Yu Hong was silent, looking at the walls in the room, lost in thought.

‘This place is too crude, and the protection is too poor. There are gaps and loopholes everywhere.’ He remembered that the black bugs had gotten in through the cracks in the doors and windows before, which meant that they probably could not penetrate the wall.

He asked the little stammer and got a positive answer.

Then, after carefully inspecting the house, he quickly concluded that the house was extremely poorly protected.

"I plan to go out and live alone. Find another place." He whispered. If you are alone, you don't have to worry about pretenders, as long as no one opens the door.

Little Stutter was stunned for a moment.

She has saved many people before, but these people would like to spend a few more days with her and learn more basic skills before leaving.

But the man in front of me, this man named Yu Hong, has just woken up and is feeling a little better, but he actually wants to live alone?

strangeness.

Strange man.

Little Stutter blinked his eyes.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, but the security of this house is very poor." Yu Hong probably knew the key points of this place from the information in his notebook.

"The ones that can attack us are mainly monsters, bugs and shadows. Although shadows can pass through walls and ignore obstacles, they can be dispersed and driven away with pyroxene.

Monster bugs can be blocked by door walls, as long as the gaps are blocked at critical times. In other words, if there are enough pyroxene and a room with strong enough sealing, basic safety can be guaranteed.

Is it right?"

Yu Hong calmed down and analyzed.

His serious and solemn expression made the little stutter look stunned for a while.

"Would you like to give it a try? Use something to plug the gaps, narrow the holes, and see if bugs can come in. If they can, how big of a gap is needed, and then use this to make a vent network." Yu Hong asked.

"Also, how exactly is pyroxene made? Can you teach me?" he asked seriously.

Little Stutter looked at him and nodded unconsciously.

At this moment, she seemed to see in the other person a very familiar and missed figure deep in her memory.

After discussing it, the two people immediately started to prepare.

The little stutterer rummaged around and found tools, hammers, saws, discarded wooden boards, axes, spikes, etc. There were all kinds of miscellaneous things.

Yu Hongda was recovering from his illness, his fever had just subsided, and he was very weak, so he ordered Xiao Ba to work.

He found that Little Stutter was very strong, much bigger than his normal state. His body was also very strong. He had occupied the bed for the past few days, and Little Stutter slept on the ground, but he didn't get sick at all.

According to the records in the notebook, the black bug was officially named Blood Tide.

It was obviously a black insect, but he didn't know why it was named Blood Tide, but Yu Hong couldn't care about this. He just wanted to know as much specific information about the bugs and the shadows as possible.

The two of them had been busy all day long, and it seemed that because their health was much better, they were not disturbed by any strange shadows.

At night, there was no blood wave of insects.

According to Little Stutter, blood tides usually come once every three to five days. Only enough light each time can ward off all bugs.

Blood Tide relies on light, and Shadow is afraid of pyroxene.

This is the law of survival that people here rely on.

The next day, the two continued to follow Yu Hong's idea, sawing wood strips, making movable seals, and completely sealing the remaining gaps in the doors and windows.

The movable seal can be opened during the day and put down at night.

The seal is very simple. This is just an attempt by Yu Hong. The more he hears about the dangers and troubles here from Xiao Bao, the more he wants to build a stronghold that can guarantee his basic safety, or in other words, a safe house.

But the small stuttering house is far from meeting the requirements.

Not to mention ghosts and bugs, the mold spots stuck everywhere in the corners of the house and the dirty and closed air can shorten the lifespan of people who live here for a long time.

There is also water source, which is also a big problem.

He felt that if he kept drinking that kind of dirty water, he might not be able to survive for long.

Night time.
