Chapter 39 as a leader

At last all the captives were settled, and everyone was overjoyed and quickly integrated into this new environment and tribe, and everyone here was touched by my remarks, and looked at me with a noticeable touch of respect.

Ma Biao was beaten half to death, and a woman whose husband was killed by Ma Biao even jumped up and bit off one of his ears, if Guo Wei hadn't pulled her, I really wouldn't have doubted that she would tear him apart one bite at a time.

The three trucks and the horses were all trophies of our war, fifteen assault rifles, three light machine guns, four pistols of unknown models, and plenty of ammunition, enough to arm the tribe, which had grown to more than one hundred and thirty men.

Cao Riben and Guo Wei, Cao Riben and I, and nearly twenty people, drove a large truck with Ma Biao and his men towards their Nanshan tribe.

This car, which was originally used by Ma Biao to transport slaves, is now a prisoner, and Ma Biao, who was sitting in the car, was depressed and didn't know what it was like in his heart, and only hoped that we would get to the Nanshan tribe as soon as possible, so that he could be rescued.

The drive was quick, and after three hours, we had arrived at the Nanshan tribe that Ma Biao had mentioned. No one expected this ordinary tribe in the wilderness to be the notorious tribe of hunters, and the outer perimeter of the tribe was stacked with stone walls, and there was no difference except for the increased firepower of the guard and defense.

The car stopped a few dozen meters away from the camp, I picked up Ma Biao and said hello to the guards of the tribe, who saw Ma Biao's appearance clearly and hurriedly went to report in a panic.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, soon a middle-aged man with a fat and short stature, Ma Biao's father, ran out with his subordinates in a panic, and when he saw his son's miserable appearance, Ma Biao's father gritted his teeth and threatened: "Let my son go!" Otherwise, chop you all up and make soup to drink! "Dozens of people stood up from behind the stone walls of the camp, all with guns in their hands, and they were staring at us.

"Daddy! This guy is a freak and very powerful, we can't beat him, save me......" Ma Biao cried at the top of his throat, and was kicked in the stomach by me, and immediately closed his mouth in pain.

"You...... Don't mess around! Ma Biao's father saw his son being beaten, and he didn't dare to be reckless, so he relented: "Say what you want!" As long as I let my son go, I will say yes! ”

Seeing that the other party cooperated, I no longer wasted my words, and dragged Ma Biao to jump off the truck: "Fill the truck with grain, and I'll let your son go!" Otherwise, you see if his head is hard, or if this stone is hard! As I spoke, I picked up a fist-sized stone on the ground, and with the force of my right hand, it instantly crumpled the stone into powder.

Ma Biao's father was shocked, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you!" "A truckload of food is enough for a hundred people to eat for three months, obviously he is very painful, but compared to his son, these supplies are nothing!

"Don't play tricks!" I instructed, suddenly remembered something, and added: "Also, I want all your eggs!" After saying that, I asked Guo Wei to drive a few people into the camp to load food, while Cao Riben and I guarded Ma Biao and a few of his men.

Soon, the truck full of food drove out of the camp in a leisurely manner, and Guo Wei, who was happy, stuck his head out of the cab and nodded at me: "It's all food, they don't dare to play tricks!" ”

"Don't come with me, I'll let them go at the foot of the mountain 20 kilometers away, and let them die if I play tricks!" Seeing Ma Biao's father's gloomy eyes, I knew what he was thinking, put down a cruel word, let go of several of Ma Biao's subordinates, and Ma Biao was thrown into the car again by me.

"Good! If it's a man, it counts, otherwise I will avenge my son even if I use all the strength of the tribe! "I don't take Ma Biao's father's words to heart at all, and his words don't pose a threat to me at all, because we are not of the same grade.

The truck was full of supplies and drove away, and when I was halfway there, I threw Ma Biao out of the car as promised, and warned him a few words before returning with the group.

The gate of the camp was already full of people, Xia Yuan and Chu Ying were anxiously waiting at the door with the people of the tribe, and when they saw the truck full of supplies returning smoothly, the tribe erupted in sky-shaking cheers, and was infected by everyone's enthusiasm, and Cao Riben, Guo Wei and others on the truck also cheered.

Looking at the people with smiles on their faces, I also cheered up and shouted, "Moved food!" The freedmen gathered around excitedly, scrambling to unload the goods from the truck, many of them laughed exaggeratedly and burst into tears, and even Xia Kite was infected by the atmosphere, her little face was red with excitement, and she cheered and jumped there.

"Brother! See? Everyone is happier today than the New Year......" Cao Riben couldn't help but sigh, turned his head to look at me, and said with excitement in his eyes: "All this is because of you!" I didn't answer, just smiled modestly, and when I saw the happy people, I felt a sense of satisfaction and pride in my heart.

"Brothers and sisters! Stop, I have something to say! Cao Riben climbed into the truck and stood on top of the neat stacks of grain. Hearing Cao Riben say this, the people of the tribe stopped their movements one after another and moved closer.

"Brother Zhang Yang, come!" Looking at Cao Riben's hand, I hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed his hand, climbed into the truck, and stood beside him.

"Brothers! Sisters, Be still, and listen to me! Cao Riben looked around at the crowd gathered around the truck and said loudly: "I know your mood at this time!" Because I'm as excited as you are! But do you know who gave us all this? And who made us so happy like the New Year?! Tell me! ”

"Publicity!" More than 130 freedmen shouted in unison, staring at me with burning eyes, all of them eager.

"Yes! Because of Brother Zhang Yang, our tribe resolved a catastrophe, because of Brother Zhang Yang, this cart of grain, do you see it? We'll be able to live a good life! Cao Riben pointed to the food under his feet, and his words gradually made the surrounding crowd breathe heavily: "Do you want to have a good life every day in the future?" Do you want to live a life where you don't have to worry about it? ”

"Yes!" "I want to ......" everyone replied in unison, the momentum was shocking, it was the ideal of people's unity to be able to live better, and they really didn't have more extravagant ideas.

Listening to Cao Riben's words, I felt a little bad in my heart! Sure enough, I heard Cao Riben say again: "What we think can only be done by following Brother Zhang Yang!" Only him...... I have decided that from today onwards, Brother Zhang Yang will be the leader of our tribe! ”

"Huh? How can this be? "I was shocked, I didn't expect Cao Riben to draw a circle for me and I jumped in, I can't afford such a burden, more than one hundred and thirty tribal leaders of free people? What are you kidding, I refused repeatedly.

Seeing my panicked appearance, Cao Riben showed a smile like a successful trick: "Brother Zhang Yang disagrees, is it because he dislikes us?" Would you like to be the leader? ”

"Yes!" "I'm willing to ......" shouted one voice after another, and there was not a single voice of opposition.

"Brother Cao, you are chasing ducks to the shelves! I don't have leadership skills, and I can't stay here for long......" I was going crazy, lowered my voice and spoke to Cao Riben, and glared at him with my eyes after speaking.

Pretending not to see my eyes, Cao Riben also lowered his voice and said: "Brother, your prestige is far higher than mine, only you can lead these people, and besides, do you think they will be happy if we ask for this big bargain from the Nanshan tribe?" I'm afraid they're going to kill you before you get far, and if you're happy to see our 130-odd people turn into 130 corpses, then you can leave it alone! ”

After Cao Riben finished speaking, he squeezed his eyes at me, with a look of you looking at it, I was speechless, this guy is right, the Nanshan tribe will definitely not let them go, you can imagine the fate of Cao Riben and them under the crazy counterattack.

Seeing my hesitation, Cao Riben added a fire again, took the lead in kneeling down at me, and said loudly: "I, Cao Riben, will follow Zhang Yang for the rest of my life and die without regrets!" ”

More than 130 free people knelt down in unison, looking at me with resolute eyes, no categorical oath, no sonorous and powerful response, only silently following, swearing to follow!

The words of refusal in my throat ...... could no longer be spoken, and to be honest, I was very touched and moved by the trust that these people had placed in me.

I suppressed my excitement, exhaled a breath, and wanted to help Cao Riben, who was kneeling at my feet, but he stubbornly refused: "If my brother doesn't agree, I won't stand up if I die!" I smiled wryly and looked at the crowd around me who were kneeling on the ground, and it turned out that Xia Kite, the little girl, was also following the big slip, kneeling on the ground and squeezing her eyebrows at me, obviously looking at the lively look.

"Alright! I promise you, stand up, everybody! Hearing my promise, everyone erupted in cheers again, and my mouth was full of bitterness, what is this? Forced to Liangshan?

Looking around, I tried my best to keep every face in my heart, and in the face of everyone's eager eyes, I felt unprecedented pressure, and said with a sigh of relief: "Thank you for trusting me!" Actually, I am at a loss for the future, I have no ambitions, I have no goals, one step at a time...... I don't have great ideals and grand aspirations, but I have a lot of energy, that is, the strength to unswervingly not admit defeat! Since you have decided to follow me, be ready for anything, I can't promise you anything, but I'll do it with my might! ”

"Although you are free people, but free people and federal citizens are the same, we all have hands and feet, all men are born equal, but this equality must be fought for by our own hands! I don't want the people around me to have two hearts, I want us to be a united group, and I don't want any betrayal and stabbing in the back to happen to you! If you can do that, I'll promise to be your leader! ”

"Boss, trust us, we can do it!" "If such a person appears in the tribe, we will not spare him!"

I'm very satisfied with the performance of the people, but just the slogan is not enough, although the gratitude of this group of people to me has reached a certain height, but I would rather give up the group without absolute loyalty, and I will not let them become a burden to me at a certain time. I don't think I have any leadership skills, but I believe that in this last day I can use my personal charm and my own strength to influence others, and since I choose to follow me, I must move towards a common ideal and goal.
