In the room, Little Stutter and Yu Hong stood together. Little Stutter held a candle high in his right hand, and the candlelight swayed, dispersing the darkness around him.

Hiss

The sound of crawling insects kept coming from outside the door and window, but due to the seal sealing the gap, the ventilation gap left was much smaller than before.

These black insects can't get in at all.

"It works!" Yu Hong looked happy. He didn't expect that he just tried it casually and it actually worked.

Little Stammer was also giggling happily.

Because she found that there were no black insects coming in around her. Even if there were, they were only a few that slipped through the net and were quickly melted by the candlelight.

In this way, the candles would be consumed more slowly, and she would not have to go to the candle shop to buy them or spend a lot of money on them.

This way she can relax a lot.

Just when the two of them felt successful.

Kaka

Suddenly, a faint gnawing sound came from outside the sealed wooden board.

The sealing boards at the gaps and the wooden doors and windows all began to make the same gnawing sound.

"No! These bugs can't get in, so they seem to be chewing on the doors and windows!" Yu Hong reacted immediately.

Picking up a wooden stick in his hand, he rushed to the wooden door and pushed it hard to lift the bottom seal upwards.

Wow!

With a muffled sound, a large number of black insects squeezed in like a tide and rushed towards the two of them.

hiss.

The black bug rushed into the candlelight and was quickly melted, evaporated and dissipated.

The candles also began to be consumed at an accelerated rate.

In the bright yellow candlelight, Yu Hong looked at the scene in front of him, and his previous joy slowly disappeared.

"If you can't get in, will you eat the outer wall of the house?"

He finally understood why her parents didn't seal up Little Stutter's house before even though they knew there were black bugs.

"Did you fail?" Little Stutter asked cautiously from behind.

"It's not a complete failure." Yu Hong shook his head.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning.

Yu Hong went out and left the village and came to the woodland under the hills.

He walked around the trees in the forest, tapping them with a hammer from time to time.

Little Stutter had nothing to do and began to collect some herbs and pigment plants she knew for making ink.

The exchange material she relies on for survival is pyroxene with symbols on it.

According to Xiao Stutter, the pyroxene behind the symbol is better than ordinary pyroxene.

The sun was shining brightly, and while collecting, Little Stutter raised his head to look at Yu Hong, who was doing some inexplicable behavior.

"What are you doing here?" After looking at it for a while, she couldn't help but ask.

"I'm choosing wood and a location to build my own safe house," Yu Hong replied.

"Build your own house?" The little stutterer couldn't understand.

Can a house built by oneself be stronger than a house built with stone bricks?
