All night long, Li Chengfei was busy adding water, adding firewood, and fanning...
He wanted to give it a try, kill the strange old man and the strange old lady, and escape from here.
However, he was not sure at all.
The strange old man and the strange old lady are definitely not ordinary people. Li Chengfei has no idea how strong they are.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
If you have no idea about your opponent's strength and take action rashly, you are making a fool of yourself with your own life.
Moreover, as long as he takes action, his opponents will definitely be not only the strange old man and the strange old lady, but also the people around him who are making trouble.
Although these people are all enslaved by the strange old man and the strange old lady, and are almost squeezed to death.
But Li Chengfei was certain that they had no intention of killing the strange old man and the strange old lady. They had only one idea, which was to do what the strange old man and the strange old lady said, boil the stones, and hope that the strange old man and the strange old lady would do it.
I blame the old lady for letting them go.
Whoever tries to stop them from cooking the stones is their enemy and they dare to fight hard.
No matter how anxious Li Chengfei was, he could only burn the fire and boil the stones like everyone else.
The next morning, the strange old man and the strange old lady came over with a pair of chopsticks respectively.
All the fire-burners stopped and looked at them expectantly.
They first walked to a stove, opened the lid of the pot, and stabbed the stones in the pot with chopsticks.
The chopsticks only go in a little.
"No! It's not cooked yet, we need to increase the heat!" said the strange old lady.
Then, she put her head in front of the stove and inhaled hard with her long nose.
Li Chengfei's consciousness clearly captured that lines of "mist" invisible to the naked eye emerged from the stone, got into the strange old lady's nostrils, and was inhaled by her.
The "mist" is exactly the same as the one that emerges from the forehead and penetrates into the stone when people boil the stone, but it is thicker and richer.
The weird old man and the weird old lady are sucking everyone's energy and energy through this method.
That stone is just a "tool" for the strange old man and the strange old lady.
Li Chengfei was secretly shocked.
No wonder those who lit the fire were all described as haggard, like ghosts. It turned out that their energy and spirit had been sucked away.
Doesn't it mean that if you stay here, it will become like this?
After this night of hard work, Li Chengfei felt extremely tired, as if his body had been hollowed out.
The strange old man and the strange old lady stood at both ends of a row of stoves, sucking from the stove fire one after another. Their faces became more and more rosy.
When Li Chengfei approached the stove, it happened to be the strange old lady's turn.
She took a chopstick and stabbed it inside the stone.
laugh!
The chopsticks were mostly submerged, almost all of them.
"Woo!"
There was a murmur all around, and everyone was amazed.
The skinny young man who was Li Chengfei's partner even had his eyes gleaming, and he was instantly filled with anticipation.
Cooked?
"Huh?"
The strange old lady also let out a light sigh, feeling surprised.
Li Chengfei saw that at the moment when the chopsticks penetrated, there were laws undulating on the stone.
Obviously, this stone is no ordinary stone.
The strange old lady put her nose close to the stone and inhaled, and a mist that was much richer than that on other stones penetrated into her nostrils.
"ah!"
The strange old lady opened her mouth and sighed, with a look of enjoyment on her face.
The strange old man stopped what he was doing, looked at it from a distance, swallowed his saliva, and envied the strange old lady.
After enjoying the energy, the strange old lady turned to look at Li Chengfei, with joy in her old eyes.
"Not bad!"
Being praised like this by the strange old lady, Li Chengfei felt horrified and tightly held the "fire stick" in his hand.
When the last resort comes, even if he knows that he is not his opponent, he cannot sit back and wait for death, but must fight to the death.
Fortunately, the strange old lady did not make any next move, she just shook her head and said:
"It's just a little bit short, what a pity! Work harder today!"
"Hush!"
There was a sudden cry all around.
Li Chengfei listened, and there were few regrets and mostly gloating.
"It's all your fault for not working hard! You didn't work hard at first, but then you kept getting distracted! Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, you are trying to escape!"
The skinny partner young man had a look of resentment on his face and directly complained about Li Chengfei.
What he suddenly said made Li Chengfei's heart beat faster and cold sweat broke out on his back.
The strange old lady had just walked out not far, and her skinny partner could definitely hear her with such a loud voice.
Fortunately, the strange old lady didn't care about this. Perhaps she was confident and wasn't afraid of Li Chengfei running away. She didn't even bother to look back or warn Li Chengfei, but continued to suck the energy from the next stove.
.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Chengfei glared at his skinny partner.
When he first came here, he had some sympathy for his skinny partner, feeling that he was a victim and was being squeezed dry by the weird old man and the weird old lady.
But now, he has no sympathy at all, he just feels that this guy deserves what he deserves.
"Whether I'm talking nonsense, you know it yourself! You always think about running away and don't work hard. How can this stone be cooked? If you had been more practical and diligent last night, we would have cooked the stone now!
Our grandparents clearly showed us a good way. As long as we cook the stove and cook the stones, we can leave. But you are selfish and always want to escape by yourself, which annoys your grandparents and makes everyone suffer!
Don't blame me for not telling you. If you work hard from now on and if you try to escape again, I will be the first to report you to your grandparents!" the skinny partner said angrily.
His face became paler, and the circles under his eyes became darker.
Li Chengfei was speechless for a while.
He understood that in his escape plan, the first obstacle was not the strange old man and the strange old lady, but his partner and other fire-burners...
After the strange old man and the strange old lady finished checking, they brought some dark food from somewhere for everyone to eat.
Everyone didn't ask so many questions. After grabbing the same meal, everyone fell to the ground and fell asleep, huddled in front of the stove.
Li Chengfei worked hard all night and was exhausted physically and mentally. Perhaps because his energy and energy were drained, he felt more tired than ever before and lay down.
"How about the new one?"
“Delicious taste!”
"I want to eat it tomorrow. The chopsticks are almost stuck in the end. This is the first time we have met!"
"I haven't eaten enough, how dare you snatch it from me?"
There was a faint quarrel between the strange old lady and the strange old man.
Li Chengfei knew what they were arguing about, but he was strangely unfazed by what should have been a terrifying incident.
Extreme fatigue made him less interested in everything.
"Get up quickly! Light the fire quickly!"
It almost felt like he had just slept for a moment when someone pushed Li Chengfei awake.
The skinny partner urged with an anxious look on his face.
Under the sun shining, people could be seen looking forward. Except for Li Chengfei, almost everyone had already gotten up to work, some were adding water, some were lighting fires, and some were chopping wood.
Li Chengfei was exhausted and was being pushed by his partner. He didn't have any other thoughts in his mind. He just thought he would start lighting the fire first.
Anyway, there is no danger at the moment, just adapt first and then look for opportunities!
In this way, a busy day and night passed.
The next morning, the strange old man and the strange old lady came to check the stones. Li Chengfei and the others cooked the best in this pot of stones, but they were still barely cooked.
The skinny partner was annoyed and felt that he should work harder at night.
Li Chengfei was also a little anxious. He didn't even notice it himself. He seemed to have forgotten about resisting and escaping. He only thought about whether if he worked harder, he could really boil the stone and leave?
In the next few days, Li Chengfei almost blended in with everyone. He ate rough meals every day and only curled up on the ground in front of the stove to sleep for a short while. The rest of the time, he was busy cooking stones.
Be busy from the moment you wake up, without touching the ground, until you go to bed again...
Coupled with the exhaustion of energy and energy, Li Chengfei was extremely tired and had almost no mood to think about other things.
He only had one idea, which was to cook the stone quickly so that he could leave here...
I don't know how many days have passed, but Li Chengfei has almost lost the concept of time.
On this day, after burning a fire all night, the stone inspection failed again. The fireman next to him had an unacceptable look on his face and kept repeating:
"Why? Why isn't it cooked again? It's just a little bit worse this time... Why did it take me so long to poop last night? If only I had worked harder..."
Before he could finish speaking, he fell backwards, fell to the ground with a thud, and died suddenly.
"Dead! What a pity!"
The strange old man came over to check and clicked his tongue with an expression as if he had lost a working donkey.
He picked up the fireman's thigh, threw the body into the stove fire, and burned it as firewood.
Everyone looked normal and didn't even have any facial expressions. They were doing whatever they were supposed to do.
Li Chengfei woke up suddenly. This chapter has been completed!
