Episode 224 See the Four-Legged Man Again
I pulled Melina and ran into the yard, this girl is really good at dragging oil bottles, the more she walks, the more lame she becomes, I look down and see that she doesn't even wear shoes, her feet are swollen and tall, so she can only kick her shoes. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info couldn't help but teach: "Now you know how to endure hardships, right?" Be obedient in the future, don't hit people at every turn...... Your husband and I are even playing with Heidel, and he's dripping around, not to mention your three-legged cat......"
The girl was convinced: "I was wrong...... I'm not going to kick you again......" I nodded: "It's almost ......" grabbed her arm and led her all the way to Mi 26. Li Xiaogang climbed out of the cab and said, "Old man, old man Berlusco asked me to tell you that this lion was found in a parade circus and has a relatively gentle temperament. ”
I nodded and said, "Got it...... Thank you for your hard work, hurry up and rest. Li Xiaogang was taken down by Xin Hongbin to rest. The brothers gathered around Mi 26 in a chaotic manner, and slapped Li Xiaogang on the back one by one to express their celebration, and Li Xiaogang couldn't straighten his waist later.
I stood on the suspension ladder and paused for a moment, and said, "Don't mess around, Sun Hongxu, Yadato, you two come in with me to see our four-legged friends." "Sun Hongxu has been lurking in Vietnam for many years, but he has not done anything else, specializing in foreign languages, he can speak many languages, although the level is not high, but there is no problem with daily language or anything. Jadato didn't know what I was calling her name for, but she followed me up to the Mi 26 with her face up (no way, the dwarf was short) and into the hold.
The warehouse was empty, and Haidel and they were really good enough to pick on the door, and they didn't know how to bring us some brandy, Remy Martin, xxoo or something...... There was a huge iron cage in the middle, and a sphinx crouched quietly in the cage, quietly looking at us.
I was really amazed at the wonder of the Creator, I never thought that a lion would have a human face, and that face was connected to his body, and it seemed so harmonious. The sphinx in front of us was lying there silently, a living sphinx!
I patted Jadato on the shoulder and said, "Speak, talk to him." Yadato understood, and the ground grunted, and asked a few questions, but the sphinx inside did not react at all, and I saw that his eyes were constantly focused on Yadato's body, and he seemed to be very interested in the height of the dwarves.
Yadato asked a few more questions, but the Sphinx still didn't answer, and Yadato was helpless, and turned back and said, "He'...... He doesn't say......" I nodded and said I saw it.
Sun Hongxu frowned: "Old flower, this sphinx doesn't seem to understand the centaur language." I shook my head, pointed to the restless Sphinx in the cage and said, "No, he seems to understand...... It's just that he won't say ......"
While they were discussing this, the sphinx suddenly became impatient, walked over, put his face against the iron railing, and asked in English, "I say, do any of you speak English?" ”
No way! Sun Hongxu and I were both startled, quickly turned our heads, nodded together, and asked almost in unison, "Do you speak English?" The sphinx scratched its face with its claws and said, "Oh, great, good thing you know English...... I hope you don't think I'm a monster, I heard this...... ......He looked at Yadato, not knowing how to describe it, so I continued his words and said, "This is the warrior of the dwarven tribe, Miss Yadato......" Why does this explanation sound so awkward?
The Sphinx nodded stunned, "Okay...... I took the risk to speak when I heard the dwarven girl speak in the ancient Manhaus language...... Last time, because I accidentally spoke a word of English, I was repaired by the circus keeper...... "I was surprised: "You can speak English, the circus should treat you as a star, right, how can it repair you?" ”
When the sphinx heard this, he said angrily: "The keeper is Portuguese, and he happened to hear me say a word of English, and he thought that I had a talent for languages, and began to teach me to speak Portuguese, and when I did not learn, he whipped me with a whip...... Then I got angry and beat him to a concussion with one claw...... It's a good thing he didn't get the word out that I could speak English, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stay in that circus......"
I only frowned and asked, "You are not a real lion, how can you degenerate into a circus?" The Sphinx said shamefully: "I was captured by humans when I was very young, and I will not hunt my own prey until now, and how can I live without the circus?" ”
Sun Hongxu and I looked at each other, feeling that this guy is completely different from the four-legged man we imagined, he is not only fully integrated into human society, but also inseparable from human feeding...... What use does such an English-speaking lion have for us?
The sphinx was talkative: "I've had enough of it now...... Well, I know there aren't many humans anymore, and I don't think there's a need for a circus, so I think I should go home. He looked at a few of us and said, "My name is Sal, nicknamed King Lionheart, what are your names?" ”
I introduced us to Sal, the Lionheart, and said, "Sal, I have to regret to inform you that something has happened in your hometown, and one of your kindred, who went north to Egypt to look for you, was unfortunately killed by a lion, and it was he who mentioned you to us when he was temporary. ”
Thrall looked up at Jadato, "She told me that just now...... It's a shame that I was captured when I was very young, and now I can only understand Centaur language, but I can't speak. ”
I nodded, asked Sun Hongxu to open the iron cage, released the Lionheart King Sal, and asked, "Can you still remember where your hometown is?" "Although we are not familiar with Thrall, I have both dwarven warriors and bandit leaders around me, and I am not worried about being attacked by him.
Sal nodded and said, "Of course, if you go up the Nile, you can find ...... Well, can you tell me where the Nile is? Sun Hongxu and I shook our heads when we heard this, and Sun Hongxu said, "Sal, are you sure you can live on your own now?" "Although the lion is no less powerful than the zongzi and has the advantage of speed, there are probably no more wild animals to catch on both sides of the Nile now...... Not to mention that Sal doesn't even know how to catch prey.
Sal the Lionheart shook his head awkwardly and said, "I think this can only be learned slowly by me......" Looking at Melina beside me, this flowerheart four-legged man actually said: "I'm already an adult sphinx, I'm looking for a wife, so I have to go home." ”
Sun Hongxu and I looked at each other, thinking that your goal is really great...... I sighed and said, "That's it, Sal, you see that you don't have the ability to survive now, even if you return to your hometown, there is no girl who wants to live with you......" I didn't expect this traditional Chinese marriage concept to work in front of the Sphinx at all, so I heard Sal brazenly say: "We Sphinx are different from you humans, we male Sphinxes are only responsible for protecting their own territory and family, raising their families and hunting prey, This is usually done by female sphinxes. ”
Sun Hongxu and I were dumbfounded: "You want to rely on your wife to support you?" The guy was not ashamed but proud, and thought proudly: "Yes, and we have to marry more wives, at least five or six wives, they go out to hunt prey, we male sphinxes as long as we wander around the territory when we are fine, just take care of our children......" He opened his big mouth and showed us his fangs: "I should be fine with fighting, right?" ”
This Lionheart King Sal is much taller and more powerful than the four-legged man we have seen in the dungeon, which does not show how powerful he is, nine times out of ten is the fat that has been raised by eating and drinking over the years, in a word, this guy is an embroidered pillow, which is useless.
Thrall also saw our doubts and smiled: "You don't have to worry about me, I have been with humans all these years, and I have learned a lot...... I even learned to play golf and fish...... "I had a black line all over my head: "What's the use of all that you've learned?" You don't have hands. ”
Thrall stretched out his paw to show me, "Who said we don't have hands?" "It was only then that we found out that the front paws of the Sphinx were very different from the front paws of other lions, which could no longer be called claws, in fact, their front paws were clenched fists, and when they squatted, the front paws relaxed, and the four fingers could be extended, which looked very similar to the palm of a human hand, at most it was missing a little finger.
Ignoring our astonishment, Lionheart continued to imagine a bright future: "I'm going to marry a lot of wives and have a lot of sons, and I'm going to teach them to ride a unicycle, play the trumpet, and pole dance...... I still have to find a way to get a piano, but unfortunately my back is too short, otherwise I still want to find a car to drive......" I held back my anger and interrupted him: "I'll talk about those things later, now think about how to get home." ”
Thrall came over and said very sincerely, "Didn't I tell me, I can fish, as long as you lend me a fishing rod and the corresponding bait, I can fish along the Nile and swim up until I reach the home of our Sphinx." ”
Sun Hongxu found a map of Africa, traced his fingers along the Nile, and finally stopped at a place, and said to me: "Laohua, the upper reaches of the Nile, out of Egypt is Sudan, these two countries are basically desert areas, not suitable for wild animals...... According to Saar, then his hometown should be the most upstream of the Nile, which can be roughly judged to be near the Congo Basin. ”
I took my finger and drew a circle in the Congo Basin, and said with a wry smile: "Big brother, you know how big the Congo Basin is, right?" Including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Congo Brazzaville, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Zambia and part of ********, the Democratic Republic of the Congo alone, the land area is not much smaller than India, millions of square kilometers of primeval jungle, where to find the hometown of the four-legged people? ”
Obviously, our former allies are still very unproductive, and it is clear that they may not be able to directly help in this fight against the dungeons or the Sea Clan army. However, we still hope to learn about the ancient history through these existing four-legged people...... Besides, although these four-legged people look more like beasts, they are also civilized people after all, and they should have the same power as us humans When their remnants were scattered by the orc army, the Yellow Emperor could take them in, so today it is the turn of the old flower, and I can't ignore it.
But this Sal is a little too unreliable, he doesn't look like a mature man at all, more like a little boy who takes everything for granted. It's no wonder that he is, maybe their four-legged people are born with this kind of character.
I looked at Sal and said sincerely: "Fishing rod or something, of course there is no problem, in fact, as long as you can control it, you can give you a fishing boat, the question is if we take you home by plane, is it more convenient?" Sal is not stupid: "Airplanes can be ...... But there doesn't seem to be an airport in my hometown. ”
I nodded and said, "You don't need an airfield, we can take you over the Congo Basin and drop you down with a parachute...... I touched my bald head: "But before that, you have to learn how to put on and untie a parachute." ”
Sal nodded: "Well, as long as I can go back to my hometown, I can learn any skill, and I can learn things quite quickly...... If you have a surplus of pistols, give me a pistol by the way, African rhinos are very powerful, and I'm afraid I won't be able to beat them. ”
I rolled my eyes, "Okay, but it's going to take time to learn...... Well, we'll have a few more days to stay on the Mediterranean coast, so use this time to learn all kinds of skills, and we'll provide you with the best teachers. In a few days, when we are done with our work, you have almost finished studying, and then we will take you back to your hometown in Africa, what do you think? ”
Sal was very grateful: "Thank you, Lao Hua, I will give him your name when I have a son in the future." I stared at him straight for a long time, thinking that there is still such a grateful person for you? Sun Hongxu was already laughing beside him, and said quietly: "This stupid thing has learned badly from Westerners...... In the Western world, it is common to choose a child's name in the name of a relative or friend, and the person who chooses the name is considered an honor. ”
I nodded awkwardly, thinking to myself that your son's name is also ******...... Your grandmother, why does this matter sound so unreliable? If you named your dad ******, that's pretty much it.
Led the Lionheart King Sal down the meter 26, and stood under the suspension ladder, the crowd outside exploded, many people who didn't understand the details raised their guns and weapons, and the women and children in the base were even more frightened and screamed, I hurriedly quieted everyone down, and said to everyone: "Don't panic, everyone, this is not a lion, he is an authentic four-legged man, his name is Sal...... Sal, say hi to everyone. ”
Sal nodded and whispered to me, "How did you say hello?" I thought about it and said in Chinese, "Hello comrades. Sal nodded, squatted on the ground like a big dog, raised one of his front paws, and shouted, "Hello comrades! ”
Even people who couldn't understand Chinese could hear that the "lion" was speaking human language, and the soldiers brought back from China outside were even more stunned...... I frowned and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Didn't you see that Sal was greeting you? Everyone was still stunned.
Sal whispered to me, "Did I shout it wrong?" I rubbed my nose and said, "No...... That's right. Sal sighed and muttered, "It must be too quiet......," and raised his neck and yelled, "Hello comrades!" This voice roared out, which startled everyone, and many people subconsciously followed: "The chief is so ......" I was full of black lines, and scolded: "What about you idle eggs?" ”
The crowd looked around, called Wu Shuyuan over, and said: "You will take Sal with you in the future, he won't know anything, you teach him more, especially teach him how to wear a parachute bag...... Wu Shuyuan's eyes widened, pointed to Sal's nose with one hand, tilted his head and asked me: "I take the lion ......?" ”
Sal raised one of his front paws, shook hands with Wu Shuyuan, and said, "Actually, I know a lot of things...... Do you know how to fish? Wu Shuyuan shook his head in amazement, and Sal was happy: "If I have the opportunity, I will take you out fishing, it doesn't matter if you don't, I'm an expert in fishing......"
I glared at him: "You can't die if you don't brag?" Have you ever touched a fishing rod? Sal shook his head embarrassedly: "But I see that others have caught a lot of fish...... I had to sigh and tell Wu Shuyuan: "You just treat him as nothing good, teach everything from scratch." ”
"Lao Hua ......" was arranging a teacher for the Lionheart King, Jian Tianhan staggered over from a distance, and shouted as he ran: "Lao Hua, there is an urgent telegram from Chengdu...... Oops...... "I don't know what the hell is going on, Jian Tianhan actually stumbled in a panic and fell." This guy was really anxious, and he got up quickly, and without beating the dust on his body, he continued to run towards me with the telegram.
When I saw that he was in such a hurry, I was also frightened, so I hurried up to him and asked, "What's wrong...... Miss Wang, is she okay? Jian Tianhan had already run in front of me, handed the telegram in his hand to me, and panted: "Miss Wang is very good...... However, they found a surviving army in formation. ”
As soon as I heard it, I became angry: "What nonsense are you talking about!" When is it, and you can still find a formed army! "The army is not like the thieves with a single bloodline, and it is impossible for the whole clan to be safe and sound, and the members of the army come from all over the motherland, Manchu, Mongolian, Han, and Hui...... There are people of all nationalities, how can they all survive? (To be continued.) )
