Chapter 223: Tripartite Talks
There are many good things, and it is most appropriate to describe Brother Badou's mood at this time, seeing that the entire tribe is full of people, and there are torches lit one by one, he knows that it will be difficult to achieve good things tonight.
So, Li Xiaoman returned to the tribe first, casually found an excuse to explain a few words, and then returned to his hut under the cheers and embrace of a group of natives. And the woman who only found out that the wizard was missing because she woke up at night was replaced by the fifth wife of the Black Tower.
After the tribe returned to silence, Brother Badou slipped back to his tent like a thief, and then tossed and turned, almost sleepless all night.
The next morning, the people of the tribe start to get busy, and they have to run for the day's livelihood. Women go out in groups to dig for the roots of plants, while men take up spears, bows and arrows and hunt for a daily cycle.
However, before they set out, they all gathered in front of the wizard's hut, hoping to be guided by the wizard. Li Xiaoman had no choice but to point in a random direction, and the team happily went on the road.
And Brother Badou finally couldn't hold it back, found the Black Iron Tower, and had a good talk with him. Sure enough, it was about the same as expected, as soon as I heard that I was going to take the wizard away, the Black Iron Tower was left with only shaking its head. No matter how the fat man explained to him, this guy couldn't get in.
"She's my daughter-in-law who hasn't been through the door, so she can't stay with you for the rest of her life!" The fat man was so angry, I really wanted to knock on the head of the Black Iron Tower to see if it was ≤ paste or mud inside.
Li Xiaoman also knew that this matter was very important, and she didn't want to be a witch in the barbarian tribe for the rest of her life, so she solemnly submitted her resignation to the Black Iron Tower.
It's bad now, the Black Iron Tower screamed a few times. The rest of the tribe's old and weak women and children gathered around in a hurry. One by one, they all fell prostrate on the ground. Muttering reverently, many little black children had tears rolling down their faces, looking like children abandoned by their parents.
Even the elderly wept silently, and an atmosphere of sadness enveloped the whole tribe. Mary translated that if the wizards were to abandon them, they would rather die.
Isn't it just crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself, who are you scaring -- the fat man yelled with a white face. But he didn't know the bottom in his heart, looking at the appearance of these guys, they were really not pretending, if Li Xiaoman was forcibly taken away, he would really die.
He now finally knows that the most troublesome thing is not Li Xiaoman's family, these natives who don't eat oil and salt are the most difficult. Because he is too familiar with Li Xiaoman's character, she will definitely not leave like this.
Headache, it's too much of a headache - Brother Badou pounded his head hard, but even if he knocked out the skull. I can't solve this tricky situation right now.
The two sides were arguing, only to hear the roar of the motor. Several off-road vehicles were parked outside the tribe, and Fan Yong's group went and returned, and they also surrounded an officer into the tribe.
This officer is only in his forties, but his military rank is already colonel, and it is estimated that he is a civilian in the army, so he is white and clean, revealing an elegant atmosphere. Seeing this person, Li Xiaoman hurriedly stepped forward to salute and called the chief of staff in his mouth.
After the colonel returned the salute, he patted Li Xiaoman's arm cordially: "It's okay, let's call me third uncle-"
"Uncle-" Li Xiaoman went through life and death, and finally saw his blood relatives, he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and sobbed in a low voice. This chief of staff, Li Changjiang, is her third uncle.
Li Changjiang's eyes also showed pity, when the second brother handed over his beloved daughter to him, if there was any accident, what face would he have to return to the family. So after receiving Fan Yong's report, he immediately drove to see his niece. Seeing that Li Xiaoman was unharmed, he was completely relieved.
After describing his family affection, Li Changjiang returned to the identity of chief of staff, he took out a copy of the text and handed it to Li Xiaoman: "Comrade Xiaoman, this is the decision of the organization, please read it carefully and consider it carefully!" ”
"Yes!" Li Xiaoman has obviously also entered the role of a soldier.
But Brother Badou doesn't care so much, whether you are a top-secret text or not, he also stretched his neck and leaned up, the more he looked at it, the worse his face became, and finally he simply snatched the pages, and then tore them directly: "I don't agree, you want Xiaoman to squat in this primitive tribe for the rest of his life, what kind of heart do you have?" ”
The content of the text is to tell Li Xiaoman to focus on the overall situation and keep close contact with the African brothers, and it is best to develop and grow the barbarian tribe into a force, and then develop the barbarian tribe into a force as she is a wizard.
In fact, the country has always provided a lot of support to the Third World, but unfortunately, there is no shortage of things, and the effect is not ideal. Even if they accepted a few younger brothers, they all fell apart due to a certain relationship and couldn't be of one heart and one mind.
Now that there is such a good opportunity, how can we let it go? You must know that a great wizard who does not fall has an extremely lofty status, and at critical moments, he can really play a role. Therefore, Li Xiaoman, an ordinary soldier, has now become an extremely critical chess piece.
But Brother Badou only wants small steamed buns, he doesn't want any chess pieces, and he doesn't want Li Xiaoman to squat in this place where birds don't all his life, so he is really anxious this time.
"Who are you?" Li Changjiang actually asked knowingly, and he couldn't be clearer about his niece. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Li Xiaoman to stay here forever, but as a soldier, it was his duty to carry out orders.
Brother Badou was also confident: "I am Xiaoman's fiancé, and this time I came from afar to pick her up!" ”
From Fan Yong's mouth, Li Changjiang also knew what had happened, and he still admired the angry little fat man in front of him, after all, it was not easy to find a person who valued love and righteousness these days. However, he is also a member of the Li family, and he can't turn his elbow outward, and his actions must be consistent with the family. So, Li Changjiang looked directly at the fat man: "I'm Li Xiaoman's uncle, why haven't I heard when she had a fiancé!" ”
"Xiao Man, you sue your uncle, what is the relationship between the two of us!" Brother Badou felt that this matter had to be clarified, and if he continued to retreat, he would lose the opportunity forever.
Of course, Li Xiaoman also knew this, so she still bit her lip and nodded vigorously. Although she didn't say anything, she still stood with the fat man with an extremely determined look.
Now it's Li Changjiang's turn to be embarrassed, no matter from the perspective of the country and family, he doesn't want such a thing to happen, but from the bottom of his heart, he is very optimistic about the pair of little lovers in front of him. Contradictions, what a tangled contradiction.
However, looking at the surrounding natives who were prostrate on the ground, Li Changjiang's heart moved: "Xiao Man, can you really leave things alone here?" ”
So things went back to the original situation, but on Li Xiaoman, an invisible shackle was put on her, making it even more difficult for her to choose.
"Get up, you all get up, is this to force Xiao Man to a dead end?" Brother Badou went to drag the Black Iron Tower and them, but these guys were so heartbroken that even those bare-chested little black children ran to Li Xiaoman, hugging her thighs and not letting go, snot and tears wiped her all over.
I - the fat man was so anxious and angry that he smashed his fist, but unfortunately, there are some things that cannot be solved with a fist, otherwise, things in this world would be simple.
"Fatty, this won't work, let's sit together and discuss." After all, Director Hu is older, and he has experienced more things than Brother Badou, he muttered in the fat man's ear for a while, and Brother Badou nodded again and again.
So, just outside the thatched hut, the three forces finally sat together and sat down around Li Xiaoman, one side was the indigenous led by the Black Iron Tower; On one side is Li Changjiang, who represents the government and the military, and on the other side is Brother Badou.
The current situation is that neither party wants to let go and wants to take Li Xiaoman for themselves. As a party, Li Xiaoman doesn't know whether to be happy or painful?
It was bound to be a difficult negotiation and a tug-of-war, until late in the evening, when both the gathering party and the hunting party returned, they still did not come to a conclusion, and had to adjourn for dinner.
Brother Badou and Li Xiaoman don't have much appetite, but they are the natives of the Black Tower, who eat and drink, and it seems that it is good to be simple-minded. In fact, the Black Iron Tower is not stupid at all: talk about it, anyway, it's in their tribe, and the wizard won't run, so it's good to talk about it for a lifetime.
But the others couldn't stand it, and when the negotiation reached the third day, Shang Ziqi and the others finally started again, and only occasionally came over to pay attention to the progress of the negotiation. With Doudou here, filming has become incredibly smooth, and many ideas that could not be implemented before can now be easily handled, and the filming progress has improved by leaps and bounds.
It's not a matter if it goes on like this, I still have a mess at home - Brother Badou can't afford to spend it here, one of them sits in the local household, and the other is the peacekeeping force stationed here, so he left his family and business all the way away. So after discussing with Li Xiaoman, he had to make some concessions: Li Xiaoman can serve as the wizard of the barbarian tribe, but there must be a family leave or something, and he can only stay in the barbarian tribe for half a year in a year.
The Black Iron Tower also reluctantly accepted this construction, after all, tribal wizards are more spiritual leaders, as long as there is zài, the men, women and children in the tribe have spiritual sustenance.
And Li Changjiang is also quite satisfied with such a compromise approach, no matter what aspect, he can have an explanation, which can be regarded as a great joy.
Sometimes, compromise is also a kind of helplessness, but life has to make all kinds of compromises. Brother Badou regrets it now, he and Li Xiaoman watched Morning Glory and Vega that night, and they didn't expect that they really became Cowherd and Weaver Girl, and the two continents are separated.
Luckily for the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, people can only meet once a year, and he and Li Xiaoman still have half a year to get together. Even so, there is still one hurdle to pass, that is, the consent of the Li family must be obtained.
So I discussed with the Black Tower, and Wizard Li Xiaoman's vacation will start now. It happened that the crew's filming task was also completed smoothly, so they returned home together.
But it's not easy to leave, Li Xiaoman and the natives in the tribe are sorry to say goodbye; The animals also clinged to Doudou; The female orangutan also dragged the fat man's arm and was reluctant to give up, and Brother Badou suddenly had a feeling of home, perhaps, it is also a good choice to come here for a vacation every year - (to be continued......)
