Chapter 25: Fake Food
In order to extinguish the fire, the furnace tribe worked all night.
Long Qiupeng motioned for Lu Ye to stand up and ask the other party, "What about Lord Qingmang?" Isn't he usually the one who comes? We're here to pay tribute, so we have to count it! ”
The guard's arrogant appearance was very similar to Qingmang, and he seemed to be even more impatient because of his sleepiness and said, "What are the problems, Lord Qingmang is behind with Lord Yanyan!" If you want to move, you will move, we can't do this thing without you! ”
Speaking of this, Long Qiupeng had a bottom in his heart, and he motioned for the deer to start carrying the "food". Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and he himself decided to take the risk and follow him to the warehouse.
Long Qiupeng followed Lu and Dahu to move things to the granary, and he saw that the people of the Lu tribe were still hurrying in and out, so he pushed up Dahu and asked him to continue talking with the guard.
Dahu nodded understandingly, turned to the guard, and said, "Such a big fire? Not extinguished yet? ”
The guard glared at the lake and said, "Joke! Our Lord Yan Yan is the god of fire, how can it be that it has not been extinguished, now it is just to check whether there are any sparks. ”
Hearing him say this, Long Qiupeng knew why there were no more people coming and going by the lake, it seemed that the work had indeed come to an end, but primitive people had a much more cautious attitude towards fire than modern people, and they would definitely check it carefully, in case there were still sparks, and it would be rekindled.
People who were familiar with Long Qiupeng were still fighting on the front line of extinguishing the fire, so he relaxed a little, and his movements became more and more bold, and he observed the crowd left and right. After a night of fierce battles, everyone in the Lu tribe showed fatigue on their faces, with deep dark circles under their eyes, and at first glance, they were rushing with their spirits, and the spirits of these people were almost consumed, as long as they stopped, they would definitely fall asleep.
The wharf is very close to the granary, a short walk away. Lu had always told him that the Furnace tribe valued the granary very much, and it had been heavily guarded for a long time, but now, there was only one guard in a trance, standing at the door, with his eyes air-defense.
It was probably because he had seen the deer a few times before and was somewhat familiar with the deer, so when the deer walked into the granary, he didn't even react. When the first batch of food was put down, the guard suddenly chased after him and shouted, "Bold! Dare to trespass on the granary! ”
The deer looked at the guard with an innocent face, and the big lake next to him was also frightened by him. Although Long Qiupeng deduced that the other party was not coming for him, he subconsciously lowered his head, and his hand quietly touched the short knife on his waist.
But fortunately, the guard didn't dwell too much, and quickly came back to his senses from a half-dream, and without waiting for the deer to speak, he said impatiently: "It's you, move quickly!" ”
Although Long Qiupeng breathed a sigh of relief, he still felt nervous, urging Lu and Dahu to leave quickly and move the food behind. When he came back for the second time, the guard once again entered the state of air defense with big black circles under his eyes, ignoring Long Qiupeng and his party who were going back and forth.
I was busy with two or three trips, and the food was about the same. Lu and Dahu were about to leave, but Long Qiupeng stopped them, and while the guards outside the door were still stunned, they planned to destroy a few wine tanks. Let the alcohol flow out to increase the chance of burning for a while.
Maybe they stayed inside for too long this time, and the guards at the door noticed it, or maybe it was because the smell of broken wine was too big, which caused the guards to be vigilant. While Dahu was still holding the jar of wine, ready to splash it on the surface of the food, the guard entered. As soon as Dahu was nervous, the wine vat slammed to the ground. He accidentally fell on the pile of wine cans and broke a piece.
Everyone present was stunned, and the sleepy guards stopped there to reflect what was going on here. Dahu's face was already pale with fright, and his legs were weak.
At this moment, Long Qiupeng quickly wrote something in the deer's ear, and the spirited deer immediately understood what he meant, and pretended to be angry, and loudly scolded Dahu and said, "Stupid thing! Hairy and hairy! Think what it looks like! ”
Then he turned to the guard and said: "I'm really sorry today, I hit your things, Lord Qingmang is not here, you can convey it later, today's food is considered to compensate you, it doesn't count!" Lots of adults, don't be angry! ”
Although there is wine in this furnace tribe, wine is generally a luxury, and only a few high-level leaders in Yan Yan have the right to enjoy it, and small soldiers like guards may not be able to drink it for a while a year. But food is different, it belongs to the whole tribe, and everyone has the right to share it equally.
So when the deer offered to compensate for the wine with food, the sleepy guard didn't have time to think about it, and the lack of food for a few days made his selfishness swell, and he happily agreed to the deer's terms.
Long Qiupeng saw that the guards no longer delved into it, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue and gave a piece of dried meat to the guards. The guards got the benefit and were happy, so they urged Lu and Dahu to leave quickly, and Long Qiupeng and his party took the opportunity to stay away from the granary, preparing to leave the Lu tribe.
When he walked into the distance, Long Qiupeng also secretly glanced at the guard, who took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, took some wine from the fragments of the wine jar, and ate the dried meat, with a happy expression on his face.
Long Qiupeng stepped on the boat with one foot, and suddenly a familiar voice shouted from behind: "Stop!" "It's Qingmang.
Lu and Dahu turned around, and Long Qiupeng couldn't help but turn around, but he kept his head down, afraid that Qingmang would see him.
He didn't dare to raise his head, and naturally he didn't know what Qingmang was doing, but suddenly the atmosphere fell into an inexplicable silence, he felt that this time was very long, and during this period, he could even hear his own heartbeat. He drilled his fist, but it felt like it was all sweat, and he rubbed it against the hide, then reached for the short knife under the hem of his coat.
But halfway through his hand, he stopped, he felt that this was not a wise move, maybe it would be better to find some excuses, although it would arouse the suspicion of Qingmang or Yanyan, it was more reliable than declaring war immediately.
But he still thought about it a lot, Qingmang was so silent, just waiting for the deer to greet him, arrogant as Qingmang, he would never allow himself to bow to the deer first.
The nervous deer seemed to suddenly remember the previous social process, so he respectfully saluted Qingmang and greeted him. Lu and Dahu kept communicating with Qingmang, and they didn't have time to tell Long Qiupeng what he said, but from his words and tone of voice, he deduced that he and everyone were temporarily safe.
They even talked about Dahu breaking the wine jar, and then Dahu quickly knelt down and walked around, but Qingmang didn't intend to embarrass him, but this was not only because the deer promised to compensate him for more food, but more importantly, Qingmang was now in a similar state to the guard, tired and sleepy. It seems that Yan Yan has already started to rest, he is just doing a routine and making a final inspection of the tribe.
After entangled for a while, Qingmang first became impatient, he waved his hand, signaling the deer to hurry up and leave with the people, after Long Qiupeng saw this signal, he immediately got into the boat, and after a while, Yan Yan ran out again, so Yan Yan was not as easy to fool as Qingmang.
Out of "etiquette", the deer and the big lake were entangled with Qingmang on the shore for a long time before they followed the boat. Long Qiupeng saw in the gap in the canopy that Qingmang was in a hurry to leave before these people could start the boat.
He often breathed a sigh of relief before asking the deer, "You didn't say anything just now, did you?" The deer nodded, signaling that everything was normal.
Long Qiupeng asked some more about extinguishing the fire, and the deer told him that from Qingmang's words, the fire was indeed extinguished, but for the sake of insurance, they also had some people to guard the place where the fire was extinguished for about half a day, in case a spark was rekindled under the wind.
After the boat rowed out a certain distance, the Furnace tribe gradually disappeared from sight, and at the same time, the three boats that followed were on standby in front, and they even prepared some lunch for Long Qiupeng and Lu, who had been busy all morning, to eat some.
As the sun began to rise, the temperature began to rise, and then a noticeable wind began to blow over the lake towards the land. Long Qiupeng took two deep breaths and said, "It's okay, let's go......"
Hearing his words, the four boats all paddled their oars gently, and a small whirlpool appeared in the water, Long Qiupeng stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the direction of the Lu tribe with his eyes, watching the quiet village appear in sight little by little.
The deer rowed the boat to a clump of floating aquatic weeds, where the members of the exploration team had been waiting for their arrival.
"How?" The deer bent down and leaned next to the man and asked softly, as if the louder the voice, the people of the Furnace tribe would hear it, but in fact, at this distance, even if he shouted with all his might, the other party might not have the slightest sense.
However, the members of the exploration team were also affected by the deer, and replied that the deer's voice was as soft as an insect, and before the deer could translate it to him, he even wondered if the team member had really said anything.
Lu waved his hand, signaling him to find a place to continue lurking, and if necessary, he would come in time to answer, and then turned his head to Long Qiupeng and said, "Almost all of them have rested...... In particular, the guards at the granary and the water's edge seemed to have secretly drunk some wine and slept very deeply on the side of the granary...... The rest are still guarding the grassland, and there are not many people in the tribe. ”
Long Qiupeng was also affected by them, and didn't even say a word, just nodded lightly and motioned for the fleet to move on.
It was obviously noon when the red sun was at the head, but the entire lake was as quiet as night, and Long Qiupeng even felt that he was a ghost who could walk in the sun.
In this way, the four small boats quietly approached the Lu tribe, where the deer and the big lake had actually come countless times, and every time they arrived here during the day, there would be two people standing on the dock guarding, and then there were some people next to the dock weaving nets and building ships, and at this time the nets and half-finished boats were standing there quietly, but there was no one in sight.
Everyone's breath was holding their breath, and in broad daylight, they were ready to set fire to the Lu tribe's eyelids!
