Chapter 11: Goodbye Sullivan
I said goodbye to Sullivan several times, this tree is too ink. When Zhou Yu withdrew from the inside to the mouth of the tunnel, he suddenly found that the sinkhole was strange and abnormal, boom, he squinted for a while, and found that it was the three Dai Taimeng who were irritable and biting and hitting each other, and from time to time they smashed against the pit wall with all their strength, making a wailing sound.
"Oh--the cliff has attacked, let you taste the taste of Ponturake, haha. Gifts are exchanged, and concessions are accepted! The Governor simply sat cross-legged at the mouth of the tunnel and watched the scene in the pit. Thinking about a group of sharp-toothed rats gnawing in their stomachs, oops, I am in a cold sweat just thinking about it. Looking at the three Daitaimeng again, the largest one slammed his head against the wall, it was already a blur of flesh and blood, and the other one rolled himself into a ring and was devouring his body from the tail, Du Du grinned when he saw this, it hurt so much. The smallest one rolled in the center of the pit for a few rounds and was no longer moving.
Zhou Yusuo's position is higher than the bottom of the pit, but it is not as far away as the entrance of the sinkhole, and the view is very good. He saw this scene through the night light of the blue worm: the dying Dai Taimeng gasped, and his iron-like body clicked into a small hole, and the broken shell fell into the body, and a sneaky little head slowly dripped out, not a cliff but something. After the cliff came out, he crawled forward along the snake body at great speed, climbed onto Dai Taimeng's head, looked at the hissing letter and the ugly face, and didn't stop, crawling on top of the red sarcoma, tried a few times, clicked and gnawed down, and disappeared into Dai Taimeng's brain. Dai Taimeng wailed and stopped moving. Immediately after that, more and more small holes appeared, ten, twenty, fifty, until finally there was no good place on the whole body, like a caterpillar that had been gnawed by ants. And the red sarcoma has been gnawed clean, leaving a deep pit the size of a well, which is very terrifying to look at.
There was only an empty shell left of this thing now, Zhou Yu thought to himself. HE WAITED FOR A WHILE, ESTIMATING THAT THE THREE DAI TAIMENG DIED AND COULDN'T DIE ANYMORE, SO HE WENT OUT AND SHOUTED WITH ALL HIS MIGHT: "HELLO? Is the meal ready? In addition to his own echo, he could only hear the sound of the vast cliff squirming.
He twisted his neck and rushed up, and it was Lu Bu and Tuda at the mouth of the pit who shouted: "Come down to Mixi?" "Still no one responds, these grandsons, did they leave Lao Tzu and run for their lives alone? The Metropolitan Governor measured it, the mouth of this tunnel is about three stories high from the bottom of the pit, and if you jump down, you will probably break your leg, and if you don't jump, you may starve to death with Sullivan's senior. This is a terrible thing for the wise Metropolitan Governor.
Forget it, wait for rescue. Even if your teammates are pigs, you can only trust them, as long as they don't play disconnected. Thinking of this, he also put his heart back in his stomach, turned around and went back, chatting with Sullivan.
Sullivan was extremely happy to see him come back, this person was a tree, and the whole world was talking nonsense. Zhou Yu was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that Sullivan has a very fast ability to learn and comprehend, and even has emotions such as anger, worry, happiness, and loneliness that only humans can have, which is really breathtaking, and he is really curious about what kind of highly civilized creatures can invent this kind of artificial intelligence.
"What are you good at? Old Su, what I'm best at is dancing. Dancing, you know? β
"I don't know, what is dancing? Stephen! β
"Look, I'll dance it for you, that's it, the king of dances is coming again! billy jeanγγγ What do you think? Zhou Yu imitated Michael Jackson's space steps while humming and singing. After the jump, he lay on the ground sweating profusely, and said to the ceiling: "Happy! If there is a small plate, it will be even more enjoyable! Laughing and laughing, Zhou Yu felt sleepy like he had never been before, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, and he muttered to himself: "Mom said that if you want to move forward, you have to forget the past." Perhaps, that's what it means to run ... β
I don't know how long I fell asleep, but there was a bell ringing in my ears. "Damn, whoever rings the bell in Lao Tzu's ear, Lao Tzu will let you know who the death knell is for right away!" Before he could fully open his eyes, he heard Sullivan's voice say, "It's me, Stephen." It's me ringing the bell, I want to tell you. There seems to be a large number of people outside, do you want to hide? β
"A whole bunch of people?" Zhou Yu scurried up from the ground, it couldn't be that the rescuers were coming, right? "Hey, here's the place! People are here! Lao Su, let's talk back! Another day, let's have a big health care together! I've got to go before--" Before he could finish speaking, the figure vanished.
"Stephen, don't forget the agreement, smoke together, burn your hair together-ha!" I don't know if Zhou Yu heard it.
When Zhou Yu jumped to the mouth of the tunnel, it was already noon the next day. It turned out that after Lu Bu and Tuda found that the rope was empty, they thought that the Metropolitan Governor had fallen again or had been attacked by Dai Taimeng, so they hurriedly lowered the rope again, waited for a while and couldn't find him, and hurriedly returned to the gathering point.
After returning, the group hurriedly hurried back to the Cheche tribe and reported the situation to the four rotating leaders and Samanda. Ran Min, Huang Chao and the others were very anxious, like ants on a hot pot, and they suddenly lost their ground. Bellman kept sobbing in his mother's arms, and muttered: "The Metropolitan Governor died because of me, and I will swear to avenge the Metropolitan Governor!" Mom, woo woo! β
After a night of noisy and noisy tossing, some people said that they should rush to the aid of the governor immediately; Some people said that they should be defended, and the plan seemed to have failed, to prevent Daitaimeng from fighting back and taking revenge; Some people say that the Cheche tribe is over, so let's scatter and flee for our lives. At the critical moment, Dong Zhuo was able to hold the scene. He stood up among the crowd with a big belly, and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, the people are famous and the shadows are trees, and they are all superintendents, how can they be light-hearted?" Fengxian, you believe in it? Good teacher, do you believe in it? He asked at Lu Bu and Zhang Jiao, both of whom shook their heads firmly. Dong Zhuo patted his big belly and said, "Huh, you don't believe it but beat your chest here, what is it?" β
After that, Dong Zhuo hurriedly organized people to prepare to go to the front line. Ran Min patted his head, "What the Taishi said is right!" At this time, we should quickly organize forces to meet the governor, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and return to the court! β
"Good teacher, what Master Dong and Master Ran said is right!"
"Lord Huang, Master Dong and Master Ran are right!"
Good guys, all the sand monks have appeared...
Early in the morning, all the troops of the Heaven-Shaking Alliance were strong, and there were no people left, all of them lined up outside the walled city, waiting for Ran Min to give an order to open immediately. Over there, Samanda and Bellman organized five hundred of the elite of the clan, carrying all the metal weapons they had lost, and prepared to go on the expedition.
Woo-woo-woo-, a few horns streaked across the blue sky without a single cloud, and two lines of yellow sand flew all over the sky, rolling Samanda's crystal teardrops.
Dadu, who was woken up by Sullivan, ran to the mouth of the tunnel to take a look, and covered his mouth with joy. I saw that many people had gathered in the deep pit, and they could be identified from their figures and clothing, including Samanda, Tuda, Bellman, Sally, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Heiya Changyuki, Lu Bu, Fan Er, Lai Junchen, and Zhu Cang, and the ropes hanging on it were still sending people downward. They shouted loudly and in a low voice: "Grand Duke? β
"The Grand Duke?"
"Great-Governor-"
Because there is no blue worm at the entrance of this cave, Zhou Yu only discovered this place through the arrow, and when he looked up from the bottom, it was dark and dark, and it was difficult to find him. Not to mention the above, he can't see it without showing his head, and it's not in a straight line with the mouth of the pit.
There is a special person here who is looking for the Grand Governor, and Samanda has arranged a large number of strong laborers to clean up Dai Taimeng's corpse, and the head will be cut off and transported back to the tribe to worship the ancestors, and all the blue worms will be loaded and transported away, and an order has been sent to the rear to quickly mobilize all the carts in the stockade here.
Samanda's mood at this time was very conflicted. Fundamentally, she wanted to eradicate Daitaimeng, a fierce beast that had left a legacy for thousands of years and made her tribe miserable. But she also understands that eradicating Daitamu means that there will never be any more blue worms in the future, and there will be no more tribute to Tuwangzuka, so what awaits her is another crushing suppression and slaughter, or an awakening and revolution of resistance, which is the most tangled place in her heart these days.
Morally, she looked forward to accepting the people of the Heaven-Shaking Alliance, who gave them the determination and confidence to live, making Bellman a respected heir to the chief.
But she also understands that these people will leave sooner or later, and the rest of the mess is still to be cleaned up by the two of them. Taking it a step further, if these outlaws provoke murder in the future, will there be a spearhead against the Cheche tribe, who will suffer just because they have helped this gang of horse thieves? These are all question marks and unknowns that make Samanda's heart flutter. But at this moment, her heart is empty, and she only hopes to see him alive, which is more important than anything else.
"Hey! Ladies and folks, are you looking for me? A familiar voice came from the black hole.
"It's the voice of the Grand Duke!" Fan Er took the lead in rushing to the mouth of the tunnel and looked up vertically. That familiar face peeked out of the dark hole, who else was there besides the annoying Metropolitan Governor?
"I said early in the morning that you don't let people sleep?"
"How is the Metropolitan Governor?"
"The Metropolitan Governor is mighty!"
"Yes, yes! The Metropolitan is still alive! β
"Crow's mouth, Jianguo slapped his mouth for me for a thousand, have you ever seen a short-lived ghost as handsome as me?" The Metropolitan Governor is still the same bohemian appearance. Oh. He thought about it, he should get rid of the debauchery, in fact, he was just uninhibited.
Looking at the nasty face squatting at the mouth of the tunnel, Samanda was also relieved. As for how to take over the governor, it is a problem.
"Don't think about it, let's start with the five strongest men." The Governor commanded from above.
"Pull the horizontal row, alas? Say what about you! This Dwayne Johnson brother, is it okay to face the wall? Hey, hey, hey, that Brother Taishan, can you get closer? Daitaimeng is already dead, what are you afraid of! β
"Four more! A little thinner! Yes, step on the shoulder, come! β
"Three! As usual! Get out of the way, Zhu Cang, said three three, four silver is too much! β
"Alright, both! That's amazing! Sally go down, don't be a woman! β
"Well, almost! Now I'm down, pick me up! Oops, yo, yo! "Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, most of the governors didn't understand, and they were stunned and protruded from the shoulders, and the shaft of the hip bone ached.
He rubbed his hips and said, next time I should stuff some shoulder pads in your clothes, oops!
"Governor, it's so good to see you again!" As soon as he turned around, a figure swooped into his arms, and he thought it was Samanda, just about to caress the fragrant shoulder. Oh, and when I looked down, it was Bellman. Hey, did I talk to Sullivan for a night and become funny? The Governor laughed at himself.
"Adjutant Fan?" Zhou Yu shouted.
"Yes!"
"Send a message at once, and inform the four rotating leaders that I am still alive. Toyotomi! Toyotomi! β
"Humble duty!"
"How's it going?"
"Returning to the Metropolitan Governor, the three Dai Taimeng were all ambushed. A total of more than 5,700 blue worms were seized, and the exact number is still being counted. β
"Okay, where is Lai Junchen?"
"Wechen is here!"
"Arrange someone to thoroughly search this place inside and out, sinkholes, tunnels, stairwells, whether they are alive or dead, but if they look useful and strange, don't let go of any pots and pans, snack boxes, and pull them all back."
"Yes!"
"Black Tooth Changzhi!"
"The lower official is here!"
"Blacktooth, take a step to speak!" Zhou Yu hooked his finger at him.
"Governor, what do you want to borrow, borrow?" The black tooth is still so wooden.
"Come here, you old glass!" The Governor pulled him aside and whispered in his ear.
"What is the Metropolitan Governor doing?" Tuda and Bellman looked at each other.
The others were also confused by the second monk, anyway, they were used to this kid's vast and unexpected powers.
Seeing the black tooth Changzhi quickly disappear into the shadows, the Metropolitan Governor sighed. Suddenly, I heard someone behind me coughing crisply.
"The Grand Duke?"
"Oh, Samanda, hello. I'm sorry to worry you, you. β
"God of the Desert willing, you are still alive."
"Hehe, it is nothing more than three points to turn evil into good fortune many times, great fate, good luck, and Lord Yama will not accept it."
"Thank you, Grand Duke!" Samanda spoke softly, like a gnat, which could only be heard by most of the governors.
"Thanks for what? It's my fight too. β
"From now on, the Cheche people no longer have to be afraid of Dai Taimeng, we can harvest pears in the field every day, every sunny morning, without fear."
"And then? Is that all? β
"Although, though... We also have to face a potentially even more terrible future, the Earth King and the Lord of Destruction, but I think we're less afraid of death anymore. β
"Samanda, sometimes people give in to fate, they are exchanging their lives for dignity; Sometimes people don't give in to fate, they are exchanging death for dignity. Actually, it's all the same, business is business, ask yourself what you really want. You get the idea. β
With that, the Governor strode forward and looked at Daitaimeng's body, leaving Samanda standing there dumbfounded and muttering, "What do I really want?" β
It took two full days to clean up the sinkhole, and during this period, most of the governors were not idle for a moment. The team of the class teachers returning to the city was mighty, and the faces of both the people in the car and the people in the Heaven-Shaking Alliance were filled with cheerful smiles. Bellman jumped up and down in the crowd like a lively cliff, sometimes competing with Lu Bu's wrist strength, and sometimes spitting far away with Tudabi. Samanda shouted in the back as if it was useless.
He didn't tell the four rotating leaders about Sullivan for several reasons. First, if we compare time to an axis, it is easier to understand all this from the point of view of the history in which it is located. But to explain it to them, you may have to talk about ancient history, modern history, and contemporary history, interspersed with lectures on evolution, quantum mechanics, and world wars.
Second, there are more and more people in the Heaven Shaking Alliance, it is easy to be a soldier and difficult to be a general, as the metropolitan governor Zhou Yu knows the importance of team building, team, team, when it is not clear who is really standing in the same team with himself, everything must be reserved.
Third, maps are a good thing, especially in a borderland that seems to be at the level of a prehistoric civilization, and it is definitely priceless. In order to snatch it, Zhou Yu had no doubt that various forces could set off a monstrous bloody storm. Therefore, the fact that the map is in the world must rot in the stomach. As for when it will be announced, it will be when it is very necessary.
The thing he secretly instructed Blacktooth Tsuneyuki was to find Sullivan, and Blacktooth Tsuneyuki was a very reliable person. As a modern person, what Zhou Yu is better at than the people of the Heaven-Shaking Alliance is the analysis of micro-expressions, which has not yet been systematically and scientifically popularized in ancient times. According to his observations, the black tooth is upright, eager for justice and righteousness, and does not like fame and does not want to get involved in political struggles. Therefore, it is most appropriate for him to give this job, plus he is strong in martial arts, good at flying eaves and walls, and fighting high, so it should not be difficult to get in and out of that tunnel.
On the night of the second day after the army returned to the city, Blacktooth Tsuneyuki returned to his life. He only said one sentence to Zhou Yu: "Metropolitan Governor, it's over!" β
"Done?"
"Well, as you commanded, the hole was sealed with sand mixed with mud and blood at the bottom of the pit."
"Are you sure it's sealed?"
"Sure, no matter from the top or bottom, you can't see it, you can't get in."
Zhou Yu looked at the moon hanging on the dark blue sky, just now the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the weather was cool, and a dark cloud from nowhere covered the bright moonlight. The wind was blowing, and the Governor wrapped up his clothes, and seemed to be starting to miss Sullivan, a tree where the water met.
"It's windy, go in, Blacktooth."
For the next few days, the whole tribe of Cheche was reveling, the Cheche people drank all the "scorching sun" in the cellar, and there were people beating a kind of animal skin drum in the bar, in the main hall, and by the oasis, and then the men and women danced around the bonfire that resembled the dance of the great gods. Lai Junchen, Liu Yu, Wan Yanliang, and Zhu Cang had a lot of fun with them, and the Metropolitan Governor even suspected that some of them had already taken the car girl, because of what? Because they laughed more lewdly than the other day!
As a result of years of war with the Tu Tu people and other tribes, the ratio of men to women in the Cheche tribe was unbalanced, with about five or six hundred men in the prime of life, twice the number of women of married childbearing age, and another five or six hundred old and young. Here is primitive, here is backward, which means that here is wild, here is simple, women never hide their admiration, once there is a man who loves him, he will immediately confess, looking for the joy of fish and water.
If you are pregnant and give birth, those who are willing to form a family can fix the relationship, and those who are not willing to form a family are taken care of by the mother from an early age, and the whole tribe helps to raise them, which is a typical matrilineal social relationship. As for the way the woman confesses to the man, it is also very interesting, that is, to step on the man's feet while he is not paying attention, and then run away lightly. If the man agrees, he will chase it, and if he does not agree, he will continue to do the work in hand, such as smashing gold flowers or fighting the landlord.
