Chapter 257: A Good Start
There are two great benefits to showing strength, one is that it can increase the confidence of subordinates, and improve morale and loyalty. Second, it can make potential opponents retreat from difficulties by showing strength, and can reduce a lot of unnecessary tentative provocations and harassment.
The only deficiency is that it cannot satisfy false vanity, since ancient times, there are many people who deliberately hide their strength and deliberately pursue a low profile, so as to lure potential opponents to provoke and attack, and then show their strength to give a head-on blow, so as to obtain the satisfaction of vanity. In fact, this is a very stupid act, because any provocation and attack by the other party will bring losses to themselves, even if they repel the opponent, they will suffer more or less losses, and it is very impragmatic to satisfy false vanity at the cost of their own losses.
As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark, and if you don't want to fight, show your teeth early to let the other party know the difficulty. If you really want to fight, take the initiative and strike first.
In fact, there are also great drawbacks to showing strength too early, that is, it is easy to attract the attention of the opponent, everyone understands the truth of raising a tiger, and the truth of nipped in the bud also understands, but he has long been exposed, there is nothing more fearful of the opponent than the reincarnation of the golden dragon, even this is exposed, what else is there to scruple about, even if he bows his head and pretends to be a grandson, the opponent will not let him go, he can be bombarded with cannonball, and he will definitely not be shot with a gun. It doesn't matter, what is beneficial to you is what to do.
Seeing that he and Jiang Dahua made three bowls in a row, all the warriors admired his boldness, and came up to toast one after another, Wu Zhongyuan relied on his good amount of wine, and did not shirk, and if he came to toast, he made a bowl. If you don't drink it, no one will drink it, drink it with Jiang Dahua, and if you don't drink it with the people below, you look down on others.
At this time, although the alcohol content of the wine is not high, but the degree is still much higher than the degree of beer, the most important thing is that the technology of brewing is not very good now, the wine is not good, drink too much, it is no problem to think about drinking dozens of bowls, but after drinking more than a dozen bowls, I feel a little dizzy, but how can there be a turning back arrow when opening the bow, and continue to drink hard, and in the end there is really no trick, just learn from the Liangshan hero, drink half a bowl, sprinkle half a bowl, this is not called cheating, this is called boldness.
Hao got drunk directly in the end, his legs and feet were weak, and the world was spinning.
Seeing that he was drunk, everyone stopped pouring it, and was carried by Jiang Dahua and another warrior to the residence.
At this time, it is very common to send a young woman to the guest to sleep, but Jiang Dahua and others knew his relationship with Jiang Nan, and they were worried about offending Jiang Nan, so they did not send a young woman, but sent an old mother to serve him, in fact, it was not an old mother, and she was in her thirties, but the living conditions at this time were very hard, and everyone looked old.
In Wu Zhongyuan's memory, he doesn't seem to have been drunk, the feeling of being drunk is really not very good, being drunk is actually a good saying, to put it bluntly, he is poisoned by alcohol, although he now has aura cultivation, but it is not enough to completely resolve the alcohol with aura, he can only grit his teeth and hold on, drink a stomach of wine, and panic, but he can't vomit yet, it's not that he can't spit it out, but he is embarrassed to vomit, and then vomiting after drinking is the same as not drinking, if Jiang Dahua and others know, they will despise him.
If it was in modern times, he had already gone to the hospital for infusion, but at this time there was definitely no such condition, so in desperation, he ordered the old mother to go down to help prepare two pairs of hangover medicines, one is tangerine peel boiled mung beans, and the other is raw radish juice with sucrose, these two recipes have a miracle effect on hangover, which he saw from the medical experience left by the master, the taboo of hangover is to drink vinegar, vinegar is actually a failed brewing wine, drinking vinegar to relieve hangover is like using diesel to try to extinguish burning gasoline.
At this time, there was no sucrose, and in the end, the old mother only brought tangerine peel mung bean water, Wu Zhongyuan got up and drank it, went out to pee again, and felt much more comfortable when he came back.
"Go back to sleep, don't stand here. Wu Zhongyuanchong said to the old mother standing at the door.
The old woman glanced up at him, but did not move.
Wu Zhongyuan hadn't looked at her before, and when he looked at her this time, he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this woman for a while.
In doubt, he fixed his eyes and looked closely, but the premise of fixing his eyes was that his mind was clear, and he was now drunk and hazy, and his vision was not only dazzling, but also a little ghostly, so he took the woman and walked to the table with the lamp and candle.
The woman didn't know why, and she resisted and struggled.
But how can she have Wu Zhongyuan's strength, when she arrived at the table, Wu Zhongyuan looked carefully through the light of the lamp and candle, and it was really familiar.
I tried to remember, but I couldn't remember where I had seen this woman, and I was puzzled, and suddenly noticed the woman's dress, this person's clothes were very frugal, and saying that frugality was actually beautified, but the fact was that the dress was very shabby, but very neat.
The woman's clothing indicated that she was of low status and that she was supposed to be a slave.
In today's terms, the three tribes are now in this stage of transition from primitive society to slave society, and all three tribes have plundered and used slaves, which is more common in the cattle and bird tribes, because these two races are stronger, and most of them belong to the winning side in the war, and the war is the main way to obtain slaves.
"What's your name?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
The woman bowed her head and said nothing.
"Look up. Wu Zhongyuan Zhengse said.
The woman did not dare not look up, but she did not want to raise her head, and she moved, still hanging her head.
Wu Zhongyuan looked at this person again, this person is not good-looking, but he is not ugly, in the current words, he belongs to a more durable type, and his facial features have no obvious features, the outline is relatively soft, and his complexion is dark.
Noticing that her complexion was dark, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly had a person in his mind, and the two were compared, and the more he looked, the more he looked.
When he went out to pee before, he didn't close the door when he came back, and Wu Zhongyuan closed the door before confirming it.
The woman did not know what he wanted to do, and when she saw him close the door, she had a mixed expression of horror and sorrow on her face.
"Are you from the Bear Clan?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in a low voice.
Hearing his serious tone, the woman vaguely felt that she might have misunderstood him, and looked at Wu Zhongyuan suspiciously.
"Did you live in Daqiu?" asked Wu Zhongyuan.
The woman still hadn't spoken, but her psychological quality was not good, and through her expression, Wu Zhongyuan knew that she had guessed correctly.
"Do you know Ah Luo?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in a low voice.
The woman's face changed dramatically, and she looked at him in astonishment.
"Are you Ah Luo's mother?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again, Ah Luo had said that her mother was taken away by the Niu clan a few years ago, and the last time the two separated from the cave, Ah Luo also went to the Niu clan to find her mother.
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, the woman burst into tears and nodded again and again.
"Don't cry," Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly comforted, "I'm good friends with Ah Luo, I'll take you back to the bear clan tomorrow." ”
The woman was filled with joy and sorrow, tears welled up, and she fell to her knees, trying to kowtow to him and thank him.
Without waiting for the woman to kneel, Wu Zhongyuan grabbed her, and when he saw that she had not spoken, he suspected that she was mute, but after thinking about it again, it was not right, ten deaf people were ten dumb, ten mute people were nine deaf, this person could hear voices, why couldn't he speak.
"Why don't you speak?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
The woman raised her hand to wipe away her tears with the sleeve of her coat, then opened her mouth.
At the same time as she opened her mouth, Wu Zhongyuan began to frown, but after he saw the situation in the woman's mouth, he found that his guess was not all right, the woman's tongue was only half left, but the stubble was not neat, it was not cut off, it should have been bitten off by herself.
"You bit it yourself?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
The woman nodded, nodded, and wiped away her tears.
"Who told you that biting off your tongue can kill people?" Wu Zhongyuan let out a long sigh, women are weak, they have been weak since ancient times, what will happen to a female slave Everyone can imagine, men are naturally aggressive, but most men do not use their aggression to protect the weak.
Seeing him sigh, the woman looked at him with a mixture of doubt and apprehension.
Wu Zhongyuan understood her eyes, and said, "You don't have to worry, I have the final say here, I will definitely take you away tomorrow." ”
The woman nodded.
Wu Zhongyuan said again, "Who hurt you in the first place, can you still find him? If you can, I will help you kill him before leaving." ”
The woman was nervous.
Wu Zhongyuan smiled and waved his hand, "You don't have to be nervous, you don't have to be afraid, you just need to point out the people who have hurt you, and I will let the city lord Jiang Dahua kill him, one will kill one, and ten will kill ten." ”
The woman shook her head, and then waved her hand.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't force her, being really good to a person is not to do what she wants to do, but to do what the other party wants to do, since she doesn't want to take revenge, there is no need to force her.
Even after drinking tangerine peel mung bean water, it can't completely relieve hangover, Wu Zhongyuan was a little drunk and sleepy, so he didn't say more to her, I wanted her to go back to rest, but after thinking about it, she gave up, she was nervous and frightened now, and she was excited, even if she went back, she couldn't sleep, and there might be other accidents, so let her stay in the house.
Wu Zhongyuan walked to the side of the bed and lay down in his clothes, "Did Ah Luo look for you?"
The woman shook her head.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't ask again, and he didn't know where this little thing went, and Ah Luo hadn't been out of the house before, and he was out alone, so he was very worried.
If you drink too much wine, you will have a fever, and she didn't sleep well this night, and when she got up early the next day, Wu Zhongyuan ordered someone to call Jiang Dahua and tell her that this woman was very good at serving people, and he wanted to take her away.
Jiang Dahua naturally would not disagree, nor could she disagree, let alone dare to disagree, because although the three walled cities of the Niu clan were under her jurisdiction, Wu Zhongyuan was the master in the true sense.
Later, Wu Zhongyuan handed the strip of cloth with Dasha venom to Jiang Dahua and asked her to find someone to help prepare the antidote.
After doing this, Wu Zhongyuan sensed Dasha and asked Dasha to come to answer him, he wanted to take away Ah Luo's mother and needed a mount.
During the period of waiting for Dasha to come, Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to have breakfast, Jiang Dahua has been sitting beside her, but Wu Zhongyuan did not make a request to her, nor did he give instructions, in fact, it is not difficult to be a leader, you only need to know people and do everything well, you must dare to delegate power, less interference, the more the leader lets go, the greater the pressure on subordinates, and the stronger the subjective initiative.
Dasha's arrival caused a sensation again, what's wrong with the shell lang, let alone the shell lang, the fly is big and majestic.
Everyone has their own personality characteristics, Jiang Dahua is upright and stubborn, and he is very happy, but this person is very righteous, and before leaving, he gave Wu Zhongyuan two boosting qi tonifying pills, one purple and one dark purple, and asked him to transfer them to Wu Qin and Li Wanzi.
Jiang Dahua's actions made Wu Zhongyuan feel good, a good start is half the success, what he is most worried about is that the three of them do not agree, and it seems that his worries are superfluous at present.
Where has Luo's mother seen such a behemoth as Dasha, she didn't even dare to approach, let alone ride, and in desperation, Wu Zhongyuan could only blindfold her.
Dasha flapped his wings and flew up, and under the gaze of Jiang Dahua and others, he flew the two of them eastward.
When you have to leave Gushan, Wu Zhongyuan God gave Dasha to return to his residence, and it is not a way to always separate from Dasha, so he has to dig up the meteorite and take it to Jiumu to ask the craftsman to try to melt it, if it can really melt, he will build armor with Dasha to protect the vital points and carry it with him......
