Chapter 1472: Cutting Rough Wood and Stabbing the Giant's Eyes
He gave a cursory account of his experience to the audience gathered in the royal family, the thrill of what he had experienced and then described to them, the greenhouse flowers that had been in comfort all the time, and when they heard it, they all turned into quails in the rain.
Not only have they not experienced those things, but they have never heard of them, so it is no wonder that they are so thrilled that they don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, it seems that they have also reached that dangerous situation, as if each of them is immersed in the scene, for fear that as soon as they make any movement, they will disturb the giant and kill them, like chickens facing eagles.
It was only at this time that those who had thought that they were five or six were quite powerful, from King Nus, to everyone who attended the banquet, knew that this stranger was much more powerful than he seemed to be in a down-and-out situation.
They had only had some knowledge from a distance, and they were all so frightened, but this guest was not, not only did he have experienced it himself, but he had also won it against those enemies, not only charging ahead, fighting strong enemies, but winning every battle, which would not have been possible before them.
Noji listened to it just now, and deliberately gave them a moment to digest it, otherwise, I am afraid that those people with weak hearts will not be able to persevere, and at the same time, let them understand how shocking his experience is, far from being comparable to their ten people on paper and one piece more than he can compare.
Seeing that they were all gradually attracted and shocked, they kept their voices and speed of speech, and continued to speak.
"At that time, in the face of the cave that did not know the details of the bottom, and the behemoth that was terrifying to look at, I ordered the other heroic companions to stay where they were, to guard the ship, and to select only the twelve best men, and to explore with me.
"Of course I am the first to go! I will never back down when I encounter such a thing, not only because I am extremely brave, but also because I am incomparably wise!
"And to do something like that that that deep into the enemy's lair, you have to be a hero with both wisdom and bravery, and those of my military companions are either poor in courage or wisdom, so I must be ashamed to say that I can do it alone!
"I was well prepared, and I took out a bag sewn of goatskin, containing a sweet black wine, which was a gift from an Apollo priest, and he gave it to me, because we, out of respect for him, had kept him and his wife and children safe, and thanked me, and I deserved it, and though he gave nothing, I would not blame him.
"The whole family of the priest was dedicated to the woodland where the temple of Apollo was located, and gave me glorious gifts, including many good things, which I have always carried with me, and many things have remained until now, which have not been consumed, and I counted them not long ago.
"These things include the finely wrought-made gold he gave me, and a jar of silver, and twelve jars of good wine that he poured into me, mellow and sweet, and never mixed with water, which I have kept and have not been willing to quote from it.
It is said that the secret recipe for the brewing of that wine was so mysterious that the male and female servants of his household knew nothing about it, except for his beloved wife and himself, and another domestic servant, who knew the secret of the wine.
"The three of them told me that whenever he drank a sweet red wine, he always poured a glass and mixed it with twenty times the amount of water, and even so, the pure aroma of the wine was still very strong, and people were eager to try it.
"Now, for the sake of this perilous journey, and for the accomplishment of the arduous task, I filled a great leather bag with this wine, and filled it with some grain, and my noble soul told me that I would soon meet a living man, strong and fierce, who knew no limits of propriety and law, and that it was a very effective weapon against him, and that the course of events would bear witness to my prescient wisdom.
"We moved quickly and came to the edge of the cave, but there was no sign of the giant, and we knew later that he was grazing his fat sheep on the pasture, and had no idea that we were in his territory.
Then we went into the cave and admired what we saw, and saw the baskets full of heavy pieces of cheese, and the pens crowded with lambs and goats.
"They were kept in separate fences, the first to be born, the spring to be born, and the new, all of them had their own groups, and all the sturdy vessels, the milk buckets and the pots and jars for fresh milk, were all filled with whey.
"When they saw these things, some of my companions suggested that I take some of the cheese away, and then turn back and drive the lambs and goats out of the pen, and quickly put them back into the boat, and sail out into the astringent sea.
"But I was also stupid at that time, as the so-called wise men have a thousand worries, I didn't listen to their advice, I still wandered around that cave, and I saw something that needed to be right, oh, and I didn't want to go, and then I thought, if I don't make a fool and leave immediately, how good it would be!
"I was tempted to meet the giant, to see if I could receive some gifts, and of course I would give him my wine, but we shall find that his form could hardly make my companions happy.
"We lit a firewood, made a sacrifice, took the cheese, opened our mouths to chew, and sat down in it until he drove the sheep back to his house.
"The giant carried a large bundle of dried firewood, which he could light at dinner, and threw it into the hole with a terrible bang, which frightened us to curl up and burrow into the corner.
Then he drove the fat sheep to the open place in the cave, where he was a large flock of ewes for milking their milk, but he left the rams, the male goats and the sheep, outside the cave and placed them in the deep and wide courtyard.
Then he picked up a boulder and blocked the gate, a huge rock that could not be dragged off the ground even by twenty-two solid four-wheeled wagons, and that was his doorstop, a towering rock.
Then he sat down and milked the milk, and his sheep and bleating goats waited for him to touch them, as if he had become accustomed to them, one after the other, and then he stuffed their lambs under the mother's womb.
"The giant curdled half of the white milk, put it in a wicker-woven basket, and stored it as cheese, and left the other half in a bucket so that he could take it and drink it to his heart's content, and eat it for dinner.
"When the giant had done all this, he lit an open fire, and the light of the fire illuminated the cave, and then the giant found us, and asked, 'Who are you, strangers, and where did you set sail and step through the waters of the sea?'
"When the giant said this, I was terrified by his rough voice and ghostly appearance! But even so, I opened my mouth and said to him: 'We are from the West City, returning from Mount Sinai, and have been blown off the course by the winds of all directions, and in the sea of Haosen, we only want to sail home, and we have taken the wrong sea course, and have followed another course, and landed here.
"'I suppose that we may make the heart of the Almighty on the high, so pleased, that we are the people of Nou, the ruler of the tribes, and whose reputation is unmatched by no one today, who has plundered such a strong castle and slain so many soldiers, and yet we are not as fortunate as him to come here, and plead at your knees, and may you give hospitality as a sign of affection, or a gift, which is the right of the living.
"'Honor the Mighty Angels, the strongest men, and we plead before you, the Mighty Satan, the Protector of the Hakkas, the Protector of the Wanderers, and punish anyone who wrongly treats the living and the supplicants. ’
"When I had finished speaking, he answered without mercy: 'Stranger, I see that you are a fool, or have come from afar to avoid the wrath of the angels of the Almighty, and to fear them!'
"We are the Cooks! The Cooks don't care about the mighty one with the magical shield, or any other angel who can bring happiness;
"We Cooks are of great skill, and I will not spare you or your companions for fear of them, except by obeying my own desires, and tell me, that I may know where you will stop your well-built ship when you come, far away, or near?"
"He tried to tell me the truth, but I was experienced, and not deceived, and I answered, with a cunning in my words: 'The Angel of the Splitter, who smashed my ship and pushed it against the rock, and crashed into a cliff on the shore of your border, and was blown away by the wind, and I, and my companions, escaped the sudden destruction. ’
When I had finished speaking, he was silent, without pity in his heart, but he jumped up, reached out and grabbed my companion, grabbed two of them, pinched them together, and slammed them into the ground, as if he were fiddling with a pair of puppies, pounding out his brains, smearing and splashing the ground!
"He tore apart the bodies of the dead, piece by piece, for his supper, and ate like a lion nursed in the mountains, leaving nothing behind, devouring the flesh, the entrails, and the bones that were covered with the juice of the marrow.
"We cried out with a loud voice, and raised our hands up, and pleaded to the Almighty One who was on high! But when they saw such a cool scene, they were numb in their hearts, and they did nothing, or they could do nothing.
"That giant cook man filled his huge belly, had eaten enough human flesh, drank enough unwatered goat's milk, lay down and slept, spread out among the flock, and did not take our existence seriously.
"At that time, I was thinking in my own reckless heart, and I was going to force myself forward, pull out the sword from my crotch, and stab him in the chest, and at the part where the diaphragm and the liver are connected, I felt the entry point of the sword with my hand, and a guy stabbed into it, maybe I could kill him.
"But, on second thought, I felt that it was not a good move, and that we ourselves would be confronted with the sudden death attack of that Cook giant!
"I know that this cave is closed, our hands can't push the peak rock, at the towering exit, blocked by the mighty giant's own hands, even the original twelve of us can't do anything, but now there are only ten people left.
"Now that we knew that it would not work, we gave up the idea of action, and there we were stupidly in a daze, in danger of being eaten by the giants again, and in this way, we cried and stayed in the cave, waiting for the morning of the dawn to come again.
"When the young dawn, with his rosy red fingers, reappeared in the sky, the giant cook jumped up suddenly, and our hearts trembled, lest he take us as if we were breakfast, and choose two more to eat.
"However, we had a false alarm, and the giant man did not eat us, at least not at the first thing, but lit an open fire, milked the herds of white and shiny ewes, one after the other, and then stuffed their lambs under the mother's womb.
"When the Cook Giant had done all this, he jumped without warning, and took two living men in one hand, and took them as his own meal, and tore them to pieces, and ate them.
"The Cook Giant, having eaten and drunk, and, as always, jumped up, took up one by one, and drove the fat flocks of sheep, and walked to the mouth of the cave, as if he had taken a feather, and easily moved away from the great doorway at the entrance of the Dousset, and when the men and the sheep had gone out, he continued to close the hole, as if someone had closed the lid of a quiver, without much effort.
"And so the Cook Giant, whistling sharply, called to drive the fat flock, and went up the hill, and shut me and my companion in the hole, and let us continue in that hole, waiting for the time when it would be our turn to be eaten.
"At that time, there was no other way but to use my wise brain as much as possible, to devise a dangerous plan, how to punish that Cook giant, at least to subdue him first, so that he could escape.
"I hope in my heart that if the sheep-eyed angel gives me this glory, I will be able to devise a brilliant plan to defeat the Cook giant, who we cannot win on our own.
"I almost wanted to blow up my head, but after a long time of contemplation, I finally came up with a brilliant plan, and I thought it was a pretty good idea, both in terms of destroying the enemy and ensuring my own safety.
"The plan I came up with was this: there was a large olive tree by the side of the sheepfold, with green skin, and the Cook giant cut it down, cut off some of its branches, and put it in an open place over there, so that it could be used as a walking stick when it dried.
"It seemed to us to be as large as a mast, erected in a wide, dark cargo ship, with twenty oars, sailing on the vast sea, and the length and thickness of the segments were as long and thick as a mast.
"I went up and cut off a piece of a fathom, and gave it to my companions, and told them to smooth it out, and they cut it down as I asked, while I stood aside, and cut the tip, and put in the blazing firewood, to make it hard.
"Then I hid it under the sheep's dung, and in that cave, with heaps of dung scattered all over the cave floor, I guess the Cooks, including the giant, also kept it in their hearts.
"When these things have been done, I command my fellows to draw lots to determine which of them will endure this hardship, and to join me, carrying a great stick, and plunging Kuklops into the eye while he sleeps.
"The one who won the lot is exactly the one I want to sift through, and if we don't succeed, we will die if we are ready to actually come, and we will bravely go forward and fight a way out for the remaining three, as well as the five of us ourselves.
As night fell, the Cooks, including the giant, returned to the edge of the cave, and drove the flock of sheep with deep layers of wool, and when they brought all the fat sheep into the cave, and passed through the deep and wide courtyard, leaving no one behind.
"I don't know if it was because of some idea, or because it was driven by some powerful angel, the giant cook picked up the boulder, blocked the hole, and then bent down to sit down and squeeze the milk.
"Again, as before, the sheep and the bleating goats, one after the other, milked them, and when they were done, without pausing at all, they then stuffed their lambs under their mother's womb and let them suck the rest of the goat's milk.
"When the giant was done with all this, he grabbed two more living men and prepared them for his own meal, the fifth and the sixth, and exactly half of the men I had brought.
"At that time, in spite of the danger, I came to Cook with a large ivory bowl in my hand, full of black wine, and said: 'Take it, Cook, and have drunk my wine, and since you have eaten the meal of human flesh, see what good wine we are carrying on our ship, and I will bring it to you as a drink for your sacrificial wine, and if you will have pity on my condition, let me go home. I can't stand your wrath, cruel fellow, who will dare to visit you again? ’
"Hearing me, the giant took the wine, drank it all, and suddenly the liquor disturbed his mind greatly, and made him smitten with joy.
"Giant Cook's mind was still very clear, and after tasting the sweetness of the bowl of wine, he was still unsatisfied, and then he asked me for it, and said: ' Be generous, give me a little more, tell me your name, and make haste that I may give you a gift of hospitality, and comfort your heart, yes, the grain-rich fields of the Cookians produce great bunches of grapes, and make wine, which is ripened and sweetened by the rain of the Almighty on High, but your wine is taken from the food of the angels and the special drink used in those days, and is therefore very delicious, more than a hundred and twenty times better than what we have made there!'
"I don't know how he counted it, I only know that even if I add twenty times the water, my black alcohol is still very high, and what I give him is pure syrup, full of stamina.
"Since the giant had asked for more syrup, which was what I wanted, when he had finished speaking, I poured out the syrup, filled the large ivory bowl, full of shiny wine, and gave it to him, and let him drink it to his heart's content.
And so, three times in a row, I gave him more, and three times in a row, and he drank all the wine in a big way! I was struck by the amount of wine he had drunk, though I had bad intentions! That kind of bowl of wine could have drunk an elephant! This guy drank three bowls in a row.
"When the power of wine penetrated into the head of the giant Cook, I opened my mouth to speak to him, and my words were full of alertness: 'Cook, you want to know my glorious name, and I will tell you, but you must tell me what you say, and give me a gift of friendship, and I am called 'Nobody,' and people call me that, and my father, and mother, and all my friends are the same, without exception. ’
When I had said that, he replied without pity: "So I will put 'no one' at the end of my devouring, and I will eat your companion first, and this is my reward, my gift to you! I also have one condition, that you must give me the same quantity and quality of wine every day! If not, I will be the first to eat you!"
"It is said that the big man is honest, and this Cook Giant is a negative example, because he has already made up his mind that he will not keep his promise! Fortunately, I am clever enough to get him drunk and let him spit out the truth after drinking, otherwise, I will kill him, and I may be a little unbearable.
When the giant had said that, he fell on his back, his shoulders struck the ground, his stout neck stiffened to one side, and the invincible sleep had seized him and made him submit.
He belched out gushing sour wine from his throat with pieces of human flesh, and he was drunk and vomited in his stupor, completely unconscious and incapable of moving, and became a drunkard to be slaughtered.
"When the time came, I did not hesitate to act at once, first of all, I poked the stick that I had prepared, into a thick pile of ashes, and in it there was a strong ember, which could bake the huge piece of wood and heat it up.
"At the same time, I encouraged all my companions not to be frightened, not to retreat from dodging, and at that time they were being eaten by their companions in a row, and were frightened before them.
"When the olive wood was roasted hot to the point where it was about to catch fire, and though it was still green, it gave a terrible flash, I pulled out the tree and freed it from the sparks, and my companions stood beside me.
"At this moment, the sheep-eyed angel injected great courage into our hearts! We grasped the olive wood segment in our hands, held the tip of the split, and stabbed the Cook giant in the eye with all our might!
"At that time, I was working on a high place, condescendingly, pressing the gravity of my whole body, and at the same time twisting the tree segments, like someone holding a drill in his hand, piercing through the ship's wood, while his co-workers cooperated below, clutching the leather strips, twisting the drill bit, and exerting force on both sides to make it bite deeply into it.
"As we all worked, we held the pointed fire-hardened segment of the tree, twisted it into his eyes, boiling the blood around the entry point, the eyeballs that jumped on the flames burned the periphery of the eye sockets, scorched the eyebrows and eyelids, and the fire cracked the base of the eye!
"Like a blacksmith, a huge chopping axe or flat axe is plunged into cold water, making a sizzling noise, and after quenching, the strength of the iron is increased, and the sharp and strong soldiers are forged.
And so it was, Cook's eyes sizzled around the trunk of the olive wood, and it was when he finally awoke, and the great pain caused him to let out a loud, terrible howl, which echoed with the rocks, a howl more terrible than any terrible beast in the world!
"Especially the volume, like a thunderbolt from a clear day, sounded in our ears, and it was in the cave, and it resonated strongly with the echo of his cries......"
When he said this, he seemed to be frightened by that voice, and he still has lingering palpitations when he mentions it. Trembling all over, gasping for breath, he hurriedly stopped telling the story, and shouted: "Hurry up, get me a big glass of wine, the degree is better than your usual two, no, three times!
The crowd was in confusion, and the king went forward to comfort him, and the prince went to make that special liquor.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Moon Boy has started a live broadcast platform that was interrupted by himself.
It can't be said to be interrupted, which also forms the characteristics of this kind of live broadcast platform that spans ancient and modern times, that is, the focus of the live broadcast is changed from time to time, because there are a variety of programs carried out together, and the absolute balance cannot be done.
As for what different audiences find meaningful, this platform does not make specific regulations, and the audience is responsible for positioning.
Anyway, it's your time, and even spending money on tipping and ordering special items, and not being able to make the most of it is their own loss.
At this time, the five wealthy people listed on the canopy who were qualified to ask questions were still the same five people, that is, when Noji had just told the story of the Cook giant, and the selection work was suspended.
In fact, the scene of the giant eating the living man was so scary that the audience's brains stopped running, and how could they still care about the thing that asked the question? Only when he suspended the scary theme did everyone return to normal and their heads began to function normally.
Looking at the canopy, five people were arranged in order, namely Ma Yu, Ma Chenglong, Ma Zhongfeng, Tchaikovsky Jodel, and a foreigner who refused to use Chinese, whose name was Billionaire.
Since it has started again, the list of names has also been updated according to the new tipping progress.
After the update, the three horses have not changed, only the Billionaire has been squeezed to tenth place, it seems that the billionaire is not rich, and the basic ranking will be given every second.
It's not over yet, maybe there are changes before it begins.
Moon Gongzi began to ask questions by name, the first one was Ma Yun, I saw a girl walk up, she was not ostentatious or stage frightened.
As the host, Moon Gongzi of course has to ask a few questions, which is indispensable for routine.
"Excuse me, are you the sister of that Boss Ma?"
"No comment!"
Moon Gongzi has eaten a closed door, not affected by anything, and he can be capricious if he has more money, this is a common truth everywhere in the world, and the indifferent live broadcast platform is no exception.
However, Qiao Zhi is not the kind of honest person who is angry bag, and he immediately gave Ms. Ma Yu a close-up shot.
When people saw her braincase, shriveled mouth, and round eyes that were spinning around, they knew that it was either his sister or his daughter anyway.
probably realized that Moon Childe's ghost fetus was actually simple, Ma Yu was also watching the live broadcast there, and she also saw it directly in the close-up shot.
She was not annoyed, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "My aunt and grandmother are almost good-looking, but the wallet is not bad, take this opportunity to issue a marriage notice: All young and handsome people with an IQ of more than 300 can recommend themselves!
This was said using "raise your voice and the world knows", and after speaking, he made a grimace at Moon Gongzi: "Host, you can't blame me for cutting first and then playing! Who asked you to leak this girl's super secret? This marriage advertisement is your compensation, and this is considered to be even!"
Moon Gongzi felt the most headache for this beauty, so he had to stop and say, "Okay!
"Question? I'm asking it for my brother! Because after he retires, he is a little confused about what to do, and he wants to ask; but I don't think that's a problem, and I can't waste a precious opportunity! I changed my mind, not for my brother, but for myself! My question is much more important than my brother's question! There's nothing wrong with this change, right?"
Moon Gongzi was anxious about this long-winded girl, and hurriedly said, "No problem!
Ma Yu's two small round eyes immediately stood up: "What are you urging! I've told you, I changed my mind, and you agreed, from my brother to me, do you think it's easy to ask a high-level question? Don't you know that you have an appropriate time for me? My aunt's IQ of 300 is not 3,000! Of course it's not 300! What does this mean? You don't know? It takes a while, and he can't be like a fool with an IQ of 30, of course he doesn't need time to ask stupid questions! I don't need three thousand, my IQ is ten times higher than mine, and of course ten times faster than mine! You see me all the time wasted on blowing fire on your rolling pin, a guy who doesn't know anything, how much time has I delayed, although my time is not as good as my brother, minutes are hundreds of millions of income, and my time is also part of hundreds of millions, right?
Just when Moon Gongzi's eyes were so anxious, Ma Yu finally said that she had it!
She has this, and Moon Gongzi is happier than anyone else!
"You've got it, okay, tell me, what's it?"
Moon Gongzi urged without hesitation.
"What I have is ......"
Ma Yu said, how do you feel so awkward!
"My question is – how can I be young and beautiful?"
After asking the question, he secretly apologized: "Brother! I'm sorry! Your question is how to be as happy as if you have money as if you don't have money! Then I can actually answer you - give me the money, make me happy, and you will be as happy as before when you look at me!"
When Moon Gongzi heard this simple and high coefficient, he couldn't help but shout at the advisory group on Baili Liangliu's side: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, which of you will take this girl away? No, a slip of the tongue, take this girl's problem away?"
