Chapter 22: Trying to Persuade
"Great Patriarch." Shuma first replied respectfully, and then said, "They are my friend's ingredients, and they can't be eaten." ”
"Friends?" The old woman's eyes lit up as she looked at Bucky and Mochi, "But it looks delicious." ”
This cannibal race is a virtue from top to bottom, and in their narrow worldview, there is only one thing to eat, and there is no bottom line.
Of course, Bucky didn't intend to open his mouth to offend the other party, but wanted to see what Xiuma would do, judging from the current contact, this guy is so simple that he doesn't seem to have any concept of good and evil, as for whether he is pretending or not, just look at his next performance to know.
"Yes, of course they are delicious......" Xiuma said along with the patriarch, his face froze, he glanced at Bucky, who had the wrong face, and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, my friend's ingredients can't be eaten." ”
The old woman frowned and looked at the two of them, and her tone was a little cold: "What I can't believe in this world is what kind of friends and partners, I have heard too many stupid jokes, Xiu Ma, only the clansmen who can protect you and become your dependence, only we will not betray, and outsiders like this can become friends in our stomachs after they are cooked in the pot." ”
"No, no." Xiuma's head shook like a rattle, and his tone was unexpectedly resolute, "They said to take me to the outside world, and you can't eat them." ”
Hearing what Xiuma said, the ring of feathers woven from the old woman's head involuntarily stood up, and the bloodshot in her eyes spread from the whites of her eyes to the center of her pupils, and her voice became sharp: "Go to the outside world, I resolutely do not allow it, those ingredients in the outside world are all scum, they will only persecute and betray, and they are only worthy of being our food!" ”
Seeing the appearance of the great patriarch, the other clansmen hurriedly helped.
Someone harshly reprimanded: "Xiuma, don't say it, don't make the patriarch angry." ”
Someone stroked the anger of the great patriarch: "Great patriarch, you dissipate your anger, this kid Xiuma is not sensible, don't worry about him." ”
Someone chimed in: "The great patriarch is right, those people outside deserve to die, these bastards will only deceive other people's feelings, it's really hateful!" ”
After this man finished speaking, someone immediately covered his mouth and shouted softly: "Don't say this in front of the great patriarch." ”
Shuma hung his head and scratched his head in annoyance: "Actually, I wanted to ask you for instructions to go to Lord Bear Ling's to determine the dishes for the coming-of-age ceremony. ”
The ring of feathers on the old woman's head slowly fell, and her tone became less hurried, and she said a little hoarsely: "I have prepared the kitchen utensils and seasonings for you, as for the ingredients, just use the two in front of you." ”
Xiuma did not respond positively, but looked left and right, and the old woman closed her eyes and quietly waited for the other party's answer, looking very patient.
Mochi, who had been looking at Bucky's back cloak as a distraction, finally couldn't pretend to be calm, and stammered and whispered, "Bass, Captain Bucky, what do she, what does she mean." ”
Mochi, who originally wanted to behave well in front of Bucky while Kabaji was sick, suddenly found that things were not so simple.
"That's what she says." Bucky responded indifferently.
"It turns out that it is only a superficial meaning, that, that's all, that's ...... Nothing to be afraid of! Mochi said with his teeth chattering and his legs trembling.
After noticing Mochi's movements, Xiuma patted the other party's shoulder, "Moses ingredients, come on!" ”
"Hey, what do you mean by coming on!" Mochi whispered angrily, "Also, my name is Moki, and don't add ingredients." ”
Under the signal of the eldest patriarch, several tribesmen brought a set of packaged kitchen utensils and put them on the ground, and the old woman said happily and sadly: "Take this to the back mountain, I have already told you the specific steps, I hope you can become the youngest adult in the clan." ”
Bucky stopped Xiuma, who was about to say something, took a step forward, and said without humility: "Great Patriarch, I want to know if there is a map of the nearby islands here?" ”
The old woman closed her eyes and spoke slowly, "Upright ingredients, you are not qualified to talk to me." ”
The arrogant and stubborn old woman, Bucky was slightly displeased in his heart, but for the sake of repairing the horse, and his own good qualities, he did not show this emotion, he quickly thought about it, and said: "If you can come up with a map of the nearby islands, then we will willingly become the ingredients." ”
As he spoke, he felt Mochi tremble as he grabbed his sleeve, and when he looked back, he was already biting his lower lip and bursting into tears.
The old woman finally opened her eyes: "I won't hand over any island maps, and I won't believe you outsiders, with rhetoric and nonsense, this pure world is polluted by you people." ”
Since the other party said that they would not hand it over, then it means that they do have such a thing, and Bucky managed to capture this detail, and then, he tried to persuade him with his best trick, commonly known as the mouth cannon.
He quickly looked around, then grabbed a nearby tree out of thin air, and then spread out his palm, and a brown ladybug gradually changed to the color of his white gloves in his palm.
He took a fancy to the people in front of him, and said solemnly: "The color on the body of this chameleon ladybug will change with the surrounding environment, in order to survive, it disguises itself, deceives its natural enemies, for the weak, if it does not do this, its life length will not even reach a day." ”
Then, Bucky let go of the ladybug and pointed to a black-feathered eagle standing on a branch, "And this long-billed eagle, with its sharp beak, can prey on fish in the sea, hunt some small animals on land, and have almost no natural predators, unrestrained, free." ”
"The strong have the way of survival of the strong, but the weak also have the right to survive of the weak, in comparison, the weak live more hard and difficult, and the means of deception and camouflage are originally the product of the evolution of this world and the rules of the compensation, but for the weak, they can make better use of this means, and they will indeed feel angry when they are deceived by the weak, but it does not mean that you have the consciousness of the strong!"
Bucky's last words were read almost sonorously, and by the way, he slapped his ass without blushing and heartbeat.
"The consciousness of the strong......" the old woman muttered to herself, while the surrounding tribesmen looked nervously at the great patriarch for some reason, and seemed to be muttering something in a low voice.
I saw that a smile gradually appeared on the old woman's dry face, like a rainbow that people looked forward to after the rain, she showed two big yellow teeth, and took out a drawing that was still a little dry and hot that she carried closely: "As long as you volunteer to become the ingredients, this island map is yours." ”
