Chapter 124: In a Man's Way
The renewal of farming implements has not only given every household on the island more food, but more importantly, we have more time to cultivate.
Sitting alone on the top of the hill against the gentle slope, I couldn't even believe that in the past time I had led such a group of uncivilized savages to create such a big pool of fame, and under the gentle slope all the way to the north, within nearly two kilometers of depth, it had been cut down and burned out of a flat field, as thick as the sea outside the island; At the same time, it is so gentle and sweet, and every ridge of the ploughed field is like a wave, evenly and continuously rippling towards the endless Cote d'Azur.
But the reason why I sit here is not to appreciate this achievement, or even to appreciate it, but to be "uneasy", yes, when every white-robed slave of this tribe has become accustomed to the comfortable life of "9 to 5, no worries about food and clothing", I feel more and more apprehensive in my heart, and this uneasiness is increasing day by day, yes, it is so comfortable, so comfortable that it reminds me of the "suffering" scene at the feet of the demon people on the top of the mountain more than a year ago.
"Can you not make an appointment at such a high place?" The bald man panted and climbed up the mountain road that had already been widened.
The reason why people called him here was to talk about getting a few white-robed men to go to the mine to move stones, but who would have thought that this master would have such a hard time climbing a mountain now.
I looked back at the bald man, who had already grown a little, and he gently placed the wooden spear in his hand on the ground, and slowly stood up and looked at me with a wicked smile.
"If I stay like this, I won't be able to climb the tree," said the bald man, trying to breathe steadily, and sat next to me with one hand.
His cheeks were a little red and swollen, and he sat in a position that seemed to be deliberately hiding the strangeness on his face from me.
"Beaten by Huya again?" , I said with a smile, but I was embarrassed when I got back.
Huya's injury has long been healed, but unfortunately, the injury of the two ribs will make her face blue in pain when it rains on a cloudy day, and everyone will bare her teeth, but there are exceptions, such as Sichuan Meizi, Huya is obedient and kind to her, which makes me can't figure out the reason anyway.
And the place where she lives now is not like the Sichuan girl who lives with me, but chooses a more spacious solitary place in the earthen house group, of course, this also attracts the bald man who has three days and two ends of the "visit", so I often see a bald man with "red and swollen cheeks in his hands" walking out of the earthen house group in frustration.
"How is she?" , I asked casually, obviously asking about Huya's current situation, but the bald man's face was not very good-looking.
"It's not good, my temper is getting bigger and bigger, and now I will be beaten whenever he sees me, and he will beat me without even letting me speak", he suppressed his smile and said with a blank face.
"Why? Did you provoke her again? ”
He didn't reply to my words, just stared at my eyes for a long time before slowly shaking his head.
He rubbed his swollen cheeks in frustration, and his expression was very funny, like a shell man who pushed a dung ball to propose marriage and was beaten by the woman.
"Bald, do you have to hang yourself from this tree?" , I finally didn't hold back the smile that had been stored in my heart for a long time, and said while laughing.
Of course, this laugh like a mockery was exchanged for a bald man's knife-like eyes.
I thought he didn't understand, and said, "I mean, there are so many women who don't have a master, you don't have to recognize her?" I retracted some smiles and bared my teeth like a tiger.
But this time, a handful of foam flew towards me, spreading not far in front of me, and my eyes were suddenly fascinated.
"You called me in for this, didn't you? Just for her, isn't it? For some reason, the bald man suddenly pounced on me in a fit of rage when I squinted, and then I was punched hard in the left cheek.
Instinctively, he pressed one knee against the bald man's crotch, and he instantly paused, and rolled on the ground with his hands on the vital point, until my eyes returned to normal, and the master was still lying on my side with his back covered in cold sweat.
"Get up, Lao Tzu didn't kick so hard, don't pretend", I kicked his back lightly angrily, but he didn't react at all, but the bulging back was hurriedly retracted.
This grandson is actually crying......
I was also made resentful by him, and a fire that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly came out, "Why are you crying?" Isn't it just a? There are at least sixty or seventy people in the earthen house who have not been taken by a man, am I wrong? I yelled at the back of his head.
He didn't react, but I could see his fists clenched.
"Get up, like a man, you want to fight, don't you? Come, I will serve you today."
Before he finished speaking, the bald man on the ground suddenly rolled and stood up, and at the same time his fist swept over as if he didn't want money, and his mouth sometimes shouted, "You believe in that broken wood, slaves and ghosts believe in their Da Teng tree, but Lao Tzu believes in such a woman."
His shout was sobbing, but his voice was heartbreaking.
"Damn, you asked for it, you can also believe in God, you also live in the tribe, you also work with slave ghosts, why don't you do it? Ask yourself, why not? Because you are afraid of the person in charge, because you want to be free, do you know what freedom is? You're just scared! That's why Huya can't look down on you! ”。
I didn't even bother to block his fists, but you punched me and I slapped you cheeks to destroy each other, and their mouths began to unscrupulously reveal each other's scars.
"Do you think they believe in your broken log? They believe in you! It's you! The bald man shouted here, and suddenly I was hit by a very heavy punch, and I almost sat on the ground, and the corners of the mouths and eyes of both of them were cracked, but no one cared.
"They should believe me! Lao Tzu let them have something to eat, something to live in, and something to wear! Is there something wrong with that? After shouting, I smashed the bald man's face with all my strength.
"Tell Lao Tzu, is there something wrong?" , another punch......
"Is there something wrong?" I threw all the resentment of the past few years on the bald man's face like crazy.
Yes, eight years, I've been left here for eight years! I have been living with this group of savages who are full of lice except for the tiger girl and Dandan, during which I don't know how many times I almost lost my life, and now they have clothes to cover their bodies, eat food, live in a fixed place, and even all the white-robed slaves and ghosts have listened to "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" and "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother", but has anyone thought about my feelings? Has anyone ever put yourself in my shoes?
With such a flick of my brain, the bald man's punch was smashing on my nose, and the soreness and pain made my eyes black in an instant, and I endured the extreme pain of my body and began to block his fist.
"It's not your faith, I mean believe in you! Believe you! Do you understand? ”;
"She only listens to you! Listen to you! I believe in her! But she believes in you! ”;
"And you, have you ever taken care of her?";
Every time he shouted, he smashed a fist on the top of my head, until finally, his fist no longer knew what it was smashing, but just danced in the air, and I, who had been beaten to the ground, looked at the madman in front of me in a blur.
So, in less than half a minute, the madman also fell, but he did not stop chattering in his mouth.
"Now there are more people who believe in you, and they all regard you as the true body of God, and they will follow you whatever you do, I have seen a lot of people like you, and since I was born in my mother's womb, I have been holding back my heart to fulfill my wishes, and I don't care about those behind you who believe in you and follow you", the bald man spat on the ground with blood in his mouth.
"We can only die like flies, you brought Tiger here to let her die! You saved us from this mountaintop and died for us, and you don't care if we live or die, because you know that whether it's the first or the last, you will die on this island just like us! ”。
I didn't reply to his words, but the blue sky above my head alone, gasping for breath in my mouth.
"But you have to give me hope, and you can't use us as firewood to chop fire, and at the same time mock us like you just did!"
I couldn't take it anymore, so I turned to the side and shouted to him with all my strength: "When have you ever been so righteous? Do you when I don't understand? Don't talk to me about everyone, don't you just care about Huya? The more I talked, the more ugly it became, so I simply uncovered the scars.
"Who says I don't care? Without them, I would have died! Without her, I would have died a long time ago, you will be very good at living, and more people will live, no one wants to die, so those slaves and ghosts see you like flies seeing poop, but if you think about it, they used to be hundreds of people, but now, there are only twenty men, all dead, all dead! Why? Look at the women that no one wants, but the slaves and ghosts don't complain, why? Why? Have you thought about it? The bald man also turned sideways and pulled at me word by word.
I was suddenly at a loss for words, and I didn't know how to answer the natives who had only been wearing leather skirts a year and a half before.
"Because you gave them hope! A hope that should not be had! , do you understand? You've made their lives meaningful, and that's not something God can give them! Do you understand? , but where is the hope for those who have been following your ass since the beginning? They want to go home! Back to where it started! His voice suddenly became louder, and he said to me one sentence at a time.
