Chapter 16: Drama (II)
The reason why he had to wait until after night fell was because if Zhou Yu wanted to announce the shipbuilding, he would have to gather all the savages in this tribe to gather.
When the time comes, it will inevitably happen that someone doubts his identity, after all, his face is covered with gauze, and this situation is always inevitable that others will think about it.
If it's dark all around the night on a big night, you can minimize this happening.
There is a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and the moon is still relatively round tonight. It's almost the middle of this month.
Zhou Yu looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt sad, if the plane had not crashed. He should have reached that place safely by now and was reunited with his family.
Suddenly, an elder of a tribe came to him and reported to him: "Patriarch, all the people of our tribe have been assembled, and we are waiting for your instructions. ”
"Okay, I got it. Zhou Yu tugged at his throat, trying to make his voice close to that patriarch.
Of course, it's just trying to get closer, and it's impossible to really do the same.
Sure enough, when he came to the stage and began to say the first sentence, a tall man in the audience asked him: "Patriarch, may I ask you what's wrong? Why are you masked on this good day? And why has your voice become different?"
Sure enough, the situation that he was most afraid of happened at this time, and Zhou Yu was thinking about how to explain it. Suddenly, a maid next to him took the initiative to stand up and explain: "Great Elder, this is the case, when our patriarch went over there to pick up the bride today, he was accidentally stung in the face by a poisonous bee over there. The patriarch has already warned everyone not to go there to play today. Because the patriarch was frightened and infected with the wind cold, his voice also became a little hoarse, so it didn't sound the same. ”
Hearing that the maids had said this, the great man, who was called the Great Elder, did not say anything more, and the others heard these words as well.
Zhou Yu just thought that how could the maid next to him explain it to him in a dignified manner? He looked back and saw that this maid was none other than Chen Yu pretending to be it!
Seeing that it was Chen Yu, Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time rejoiced in his heart, and was very surprised. I didn't expect this Chen Yu to look stupid, like a little white rabbit, and he was so powerful at a critical time.
When everyone wasn't paying attention, she secretly made a smile, which was very cute.
"Ahem..."
Zhou Yu cleared his throat and tried to make his voice gloomy. Because the patriarch's voice was particularly low.
He announced to the people around him, "First of all, thank you all for coming to this great wedding today. In addition to that, I would like to announce one thing here, as you know, we have lived on this island for many years, and then we have never stepped out of the outside world. So I've decided to make a bold attempt this year, and I'll need you to start collecting and crafting rare timber from the island tomorrow and build a big ship!
When he said this, Zhou Yu was very nervous, in fact, he had already recited these words silently in his heart many times, just for fear that he would directly drop the chain and expose the stuffing at a critical time.
Now that he had said this, he was finally relieved.
But the rest of the people around them suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what they were discussing.
The first to speak was the Great Elder, who said, "Patriarch, why do you suddenly want to explore the outside world? And why did you choose to announce this matter today? Today is your wedding day, why did you suddenly discuss such a big matter with your bride in the cave room?"
This Great Elder is indeed a bit annoying, and he is no better than ordinary clansmen, his mind is very smart, he can ask these words, it is estimated that he has discovered something.
Zhou Yu replied: "As the patriarch of this tribe, I naturally can't, just think about myself, the resources on this small island have been almost consumed by us, if we don't open up a new world, it will be difficult for everyone to develop in the future." ”
"I see, the patriarch is very far-sighted. At this point, the Great Elder was not saying anything disapproving about.
Except for the Great Elder, no one else in this tribe would have any opinion on the patriarch's words. And so the matter was settled.
After the matter was over, Zhou Yu returned to their so-called cave room. At this time, Lin Xue had returned to her normal appearance, and Zhao Shuangzi was accompanying her.
When you go back to the room and close the door, Zhou Yu directly picks up the kettle and fills most of the pot directly into his mouth. I was so nervous just now that I almost scared him to death.
Fortunately, nothing was discovered by the Great Elder, otherwise there might be a bloody disaster tonight.
After drinking a few sips of water and pondering for a while, Zhou Yu was still not at ease, so he said to Zhao Shuangzi: "I'm still a little worried about this big night, Zhao Shuangzi, why don't you go and deliver food to that patriarch, and by the way, see how he is now, right?" ”
"Okay, I'll go. ”
Suddenly, Chen Yu also proposed to go with him, after all, it was getting late now, and if Zhao Shuangzi was alone, he was afraid of an accident. In this regard, Zhou Yu directly agreed.
After they left, Lin Xue didn't even speak much, just sat quietly on the chair alone.
It didn't look like her style at all, and it felt like she remembered what had happened. Zhou Yu didn't know how to speak for a while, and the two of them sat silently for a long time.
Suddenly, they noticed that there was movement outside the door, and they thought that Chen Yu and Zhao Shuangzi were back.
But in fact, it was not, Zhou Yu clearly saw through the crack in the door that it was the Great Elder who brought some people here.
They came here without making much of a noise, and they were tiptoeing around to peek at something.
Zhou Yu thought of a certain possibility, the Great Elder had been suspicious of him before, and now that he suddenly brought so many people, it must be to see if they have a cave room, to judge whether there is something wrong with him, the patriarch.
Zhou Yu hurriedly came to Lin Xue's side and explained the benefits to her, Lin Xue was not ambiguous, and directly put his arms around his neck, and then the two of them went to the bedside.
If you look inside from the outside, you can't really look too closely. But when the Great Elder had just approached the window paper, he found that there was a huge movement coming from inside, and it was Lin Xue's shout.
And it's the kind that gets louder and louder, and the other people around me who listen to it are a little bit reacting. Even a man as strong as the Great Elder couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Gollum... This patriarch is really blessed..."
He shook his head, didn't dare to look any further, and just left with those people.
It wasn't until they had been gone for a long time that Lin Xue stopped screaming.
In fact, the two of them hugged each other just now and did nothing, but Zhou Yu kept tickling Lin Xue, and she deliberately made that kind of charming cry. Naturally, they misunderstood.
But this is exactly what Zhou Yu and them are aiming for, only in this way can they believe in themselves, there is no problem with this fake patriarch.
After seeing them leave, Lin Xue hurriedly turned over, away from Zhou Yu, and explained in a low voice: "Actually, what happened during the day, I remember, I was drunk at that time to do this... You... Don't take it personally. ”
"It's okay, it's okay..." waved his hand here, calm on the surface, but still a little embarrassed in his heart,
Because when Lin Xue made that kind of cry just now, he was the closest, and he was all in it, but he was acting, but his body had already reacted. It was a great torture to stop suddenly, to restrain everything you wanted to do, both mentally and physically.
The two of them sat quietly for a long time, each thinking about something.
Suddenly, Lin Xue shouted badly: "Oh no, it's been so long, why haven't Chen Yu and Zhao Shuangzi come back yet?
