Chapter 9

"I won't build it all by myself. I plan to use wood to help build it. The main material is stone. Considering that stone bricks cannot be found, the only way is to find natural stone caves." Yu Hong explained.

"Oh." Little Stutter didn't quite understand, but he felt that Yu Hong's expression was confident and composed, and he must be a pretty powerful person.

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

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

He no longer wants to stay here with Little Stutter. Not only is his safety not guaranteed, but the most important thing is that his black mark cannot be tested casually to determine the effect.

Touching the third strengthened white stone in his trouser pocket, which is also the strengthened pyroxene, Yu Hong quickly made a decision.

"Can you take me to see it?"

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

He was thinking, what would happen if he strengthened the doors and walls?

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

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

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

Because his body recovered, he didn't see the ghosts during the day very much, which made him somewhat believe in what Little Stutter and Dr. Xu said.

In the cold and quiet mountain forest.

The two of them walked forward one step at a time, one foot deep and one foot shallow, crossing a large slope and reaching the bottom of the slope.

Little Stutter looked around and seemed to find something near a tree hole.

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

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

Immediately, before Yu Hong was about to ask, she raised her finger and pointed far to the right.

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

I saw only a gray rock wall, looming out from the distance in the forest.

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

The entrance to 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 Little Stutter and found that she had already started digging for vegetables, so he held the enhanced pyroxene and walked over there.

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

Look carefully at the cave in front of you.

The entrance of the cave is as high as two people and as wide as one person. The inside is not very deep, and the bottom of the cave can be seen from the outside through the sunlight.

There were some things like cloth bags placed in a mess at the bottom, as well as a few furs of unknown animals.

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

"You but, Shao." Little Stutter also followed at this time.

"In the past, there were many black disasters, but now, there are fewer."

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

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

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

The cave as a whole is oval in shape, with some non-standard elliptical cavities.

Yu Hong thought about it in his mind. Compared with the small stuttering room, it was obviously much more comfortable here. At least there would be less mold to invade the lungs, so he could live longer.

The most important thing was that Baiqiu Village itself felt a bit evil. He always felt that the fact that he encountered so many strange shadows during the day was probably related to the environment of Baiqiu Village.

Otherwise, why would so many villagers not want to continue living there, when there are so many ready-made houses there?

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

From the brochure and Little Stammer's mouth, he learned that many villagers in Baiqiu Village lived in the nearby woods. They either built their own houses or dug underground cellars to hide in them.

A few people left and went to the nearest town.

Among them, there are many people who have been saved by Little Stutter.

Little Stutter also came in at this time, looking left and right in the cave.

"There are four more around." She counted on her fingers. "Except, get rid of us."

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

Then he climbed down again and observed the surrounding environment.

"Can I live here?" he asked the little stammerer.

"It's okay. No one cares." Little Stutter nodded vigorously.

Yu Hong was satisfied in his heart. This place was too dangerous. In fact, he wanted to live with Little Stutter, but the danger of the shadow was too strong and the disguise was too good to prevent it.

In addition, the environment at Little Stutter is too poor and dirty, so it is easy 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.

Just the daily supplies and renovation plan may take a lot of time.

After all, when you come out to live alone, you will definitely have to eat the food you have saved at first.

The cave also lacks a suitable door, and a flue, fire pit, etc. also need to be built.

After deciding where to live in the future, Yu Hong began to wander around the mountains and forests to select materials with the help of Xiaoba's tools.

He didn't know what kind of wood the door 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, door, and various furniture of his cave, and also began to select materials.

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

Dead trees are dry enough to be protected from moisture to the greatest extent.

Then there is the tree cutting.

With his weak body and weak arms, Yu Hongcai had been cutting for a day. When he came back, his arms were sore and weak, and he couldn't move the next day.

then

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

Click.

Little Stutter held the ax and watched the dead tree as thick as a thigh slowly break and fall down in front of him.

"Want more?"

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

"." There was something indescribable on Yu Hong's expression, and he shook his head.

"That's enough."

Walking forward, he started to cut off the tree branches with a machete, selected the straight part of the trunk, and then cut out the approximate length according to the data at the entrance of the cave.

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 skilled in it, I can somewhat understand the basic steps and procedures.

Little Stutter watched on the sidelines, and came over to help from time to time out of curiosity.

Soon, it got dark. The two of them dropped their things and returned to the house with their tools to rest and wait for tomorrow.

After a restless night, after eating, the two of them came here again to continue the work they had not finished yesterday.

Because Little Stutter ate the food too quickly and was almost finished, he made an appointment with Dr. Xu and planned to go to Lao Yu's to buy more.

She helped to deal with the dead trees, and after a while, she saw Dr. Xu approaching from the forest in the distance.

So she stood up and waved happily.

"Xu! Here! Here!"

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

"Didn't we just change the food? I asked why it was gone again, but it turned out that there was an extra person." Her tone was not very good.

"Yu Hong is very powerful!" Little Stutter quickly waved her hand, "He is doing a better house. The house is safer than mine!" She obviously agreed with Yu Hong's statement and helped her at this time.
