The energy in my body has been used up and has not yet recovered. In addition, I am exhausted after a day's work. But when I think about the dangers lurking everywhere, especially since tonight is a critical moment, if those gorillas have been spying on this place, they will definitely send people here in the dead of night. I have good hearing, so I can be the first to know the situation and take the best possible precautions by being on the first shift.

Just standing there motionless under the firelight, my eyelids became more and more twitchy, and my consciousness became hazy, with intermittent blackouts. This happened several times, and my hair was almost burned by the fire.

This won't do, so I stood up and washed my face with water, planning to walk around to relieve my fatigue. There was some tea in the metal quilt, so I took it and had a drink. Tea can relieve fatigue and refresh the mind, so it is a great tool for keeping watch all night, so I took a big sip.

However, I couldn't really tell whether I was relieved or not, but I did feel the urge to urinate. The smell was too strong if I went to the toilet in the house, so I could only slowly go outside and find a piece of grass to relieve myself. As soon as I opened the door, I walked quietly and moved to the left corner of the courtyard. This was originally the area for farming, but later it was overgrown with weeds.

After Yunwen pulled it out today, the land was completely bald, and I could hardly recognize it. I moved to the edge of the leftmost fence, looking for a favorable position, but I accidentally stepped on something. I was stunned and moved back a step, and sure enough, I heard a slight empty sound. Then I took another step forward, and there was the sound of the ground. Then I heard the empty sound again.

Ordinary people would just pass by and wouldn't be able to hear anything from the noise, but my ears are different. I can hear a lot of differences from the slightest changes in the soil. The land below is obviously emptier than that in other directions. I guess there must be a cellar or something like that, which can be used to store food in the winter. This is common in rural areas in northern China.

That's fine, a villa with its own entrance and a basement, that's all!

I picked up a stone and scraped a line across the nearest fence, then placed the stone on the area where the hollow sound came from. The double protection would allow me to explore it properly tomorrow. Then I went to relieve myself and reached a more remote place. After I finished relieving myself, I was about to pull up my pants to leave when I was startled by a noise.

There happened to be a gap in the middle of the wooden boards connecting the fence, so I peeked out through the gap. When I saw this, I immediately covered my mouth and nose. There were two gorillas moving mysteriously outside the fence. They glanced over here and walked straight towards me. I quickly stood still and held my breath.

With such a small gap and such a dark night, could they have noticed that I was watching them?

They came towards me with fist steps (due to their long arms, gorillas mostly walk with their fists clenched and their legs together), just a few centimeters in front of me, looking at me with their yellow-brown eyes. My heart almost jumped out of my chest. However, after watching for a while, the two of them finally exchanged a few humming and ah sounds, and then climbed up the nearby mountain wall.

This is considered a lucky pass!

"Luckily I anticipated it in advance and was on guard for the first shift myself, otherwise there would have been big problems," I muttered.

However, when they were leaving, I faintly heard a strange sound. This sound did not seem to be made by them, but was more like the sound of some metal touching the skin. Although it was so subtle that I might have heard it wrong, I was very sure. After all, sometimes when confronting prisoners or enemies, they often make this kind of sound when holding guns, and I would know it first and react at that time.

It is an extremely quiet "webbing" sound that ordinary people seldom pay attention to, but I have studied it carefully.

Could it be that these apes had entered the Iron Age? If so, why did they still use tree forks and rocks as weapons instead of iron spearheads?

But I didn't think too much about it, but went back to the house. Before leaving, I took a special look at Sanfu. It didn't have a good appetite and didn't eat much of the grass today. But it had become much quieter and was standing with its eyes closed to rest.

Then I went back to the house, and after enduring for a long time, I really couldn't hold on any longer, so I went upstairs to wake up Yunwen and asked her to take over. She got up obediently and let me lie on the ** triple animal skin. They spliced ​​together the two intact wooden beds (one of the three was broken by me), put them in the middle room, and combined them to widen the width of the bed.

This middle room has the best ventilation, so we all slept in it. It is also a little cooler. Yunwen took the torch from my hand, smiled at me, said good night gently, and then went downstairs. Although I still had many concerns about the surroundings, I was mostly sleepy. My brain could not stand any more of my tossing and turning, so I closed the door and fell asleep.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly. When I woke up, the whole room was filled with warm sunlight. It was almost noon, and I thought that I had lost the good habit of getting up early, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The girls around me had already woken up, and I could hear their loud and soft voices downstairs.

I hurried to get out of bed, but at this moment Yunwen walked into the room with a bowl of medicine in her hand and asked, "Are you awake? Did you sleep well?"

I scratched my neck, feeling so embarrassed that I was sleeping in front of them. I didn't have any self-discipline that a Wuying man should have. I nodded awkwardly and perfunctorily.

Yunwen seemed to see what I was up to, and said with a smile: "Don't be embarrassed, you are deficient in Qi and blood, and your body is weak. If you don't adjust and replenish, even if you have the physique of Dwayne Johnson, you won't be able to withstand it. After all, it's internal deficiency. Drink some tonic and it will be fine.

After she said that, I felt much better. She sat gently on the edge of the bed, holding the bowl in an elegant posture, and scooped out a mouthful of soup with the washed wild iron spoon that I picked up last time near the hillside. Her tender lips slightly opened, blowing out a scent of orchid, and then gently passed it to my mouth. I was so stunned that I even forgot to drink the soup. When she saw me like this, she immediately gave a coquettish sound, bit her lip, and blushed.

After we finished drinking, Yunwen and I went downstairs together. When Yingchun saw us coming down and Yunwen hugging my shoulders, she seemed a little jealous and said, "You lazy bug are finally awake? I thought you were going to sleep for two more days."

"Sister! Brother Zhou Bo did that for us. He is weak." Song Bailu scolded slightly.

"It's okay. I'll just sleep for two more days. Isn't that a good way to save food for everyone?" I said.

With a puff, Yunwen and Bailu both laughed. Yingchun also smiled and muttered, "Slippery."

After I went downstairs, they left me two steamed buns, a bowl of wild wheat porridge, and some pickles. I wondered if I could have a boiled egg, fried dough sticks, and soy milk, would it be a perfect breakfast?

When they saw that I had finished eating, they waited for me to arrange a new round of tasks.

I finished eating and was about to speak when Yunwen gently wiped my mouth with her sleeve. It turned out that I ate too quickly and some vegetable juice remained on my mouth, but it was fine now.

"I saw orangutans last night. They briefly searched here and then went up the mountain to look for us. Since they couldn't find us for a while, we will be relatively safe and have avoided the limelight. Everyone should be fine if they are careful from now on. The arrangements for today are as follows. Bailu, you will be more responsible for the logistics of medicine and food. Yingchun will be mainly responsible for making all the tableware. If possible, try to get some dustpans, brooms and the like. Yunwen and I will tidy up the fields today and repair the waterwheel channel to facilitate future farming." I said.

The girls nodded, doing what they were good at and it was not difficult at all.

The reason why I asked Yunwen to go with me was mainly to prevent me from going to the cellar discovered last night and getting carbon monoxide poisoning or methane poisoning. If Yunwen was with me, someone could discover it in time. After all, I didn't know what was inside.
