Chapter 11: The Otherworldly Version of the Water Margin
Halfway up the mountain around Crescent Island, you can basically see the entire Crescent Island.
There is also a slightly larger cave halfway up the mountain, and it is inhabited by Captain Willy. At this time, Captain Willy was standing in front of the cave, looking at the beach.
"What are those slaves doing?"
"It looks like Donner is getting them something to eat, and the smell is coming here. Hans sniffled.
With the light of fire reflected in Willy's pupils, he asked Hans, "Hans, do you know who Donner is, where was he from, and what did he do?"
Hans thought for a moment, "I don't know, he never told anyone in detail. He seems to have been caught in the iron ore mine by the slave team, and has been in the mine area for almost a year. ”
"But he's nice to anyone, especially the slaves who are together. In the mines, when some slaves were wounded, he would help to bandage their wounds, and he would hide some food for slaves who were not allowed to eat by the overseers. ”
Willy's eyes were sharp, he didn't speak, and his daughter Jasmine next to him asked, "Father, why are you targeting that Donner, isn't he already a member of our pirate group?"
The pirate captain glanced at his daughter: "Jasmine, don't you know that the two deputy captains, Alan and Peidi, are not convinced by their father and have always wanted to be the head of this regiment, and this time in order to save Hans, we have killed many brothers." ”
"These slaves are good pirate candidates, strong and powerful, but they all listen to Donner, do you want to see a third such deputy head in the pirate group?"
"I will never allow such a thing to happen!"
Jasmine stroked the bangs in her ear: "Father, if Donner is loyal to you, it's fine." “
"Hehe, I prefer that the guys of the Pirate Regiment are loyal to me. A smile broke into the corner of Willie's mouth: "And, do you think this Donner will be loyal to me?"
Jasmine was silent.
The pirate leader looked at his daughter, "What, Jasmine, you know Donner well?"
Jasmine shook her head: "I've seen and spoken a few words on the island these days, and I'm not very familiar with it, but my daughter feels that this person is different from ordinary people." ”
"It's really different, know how to bewitch people's hearts, this is a trick that only the legendary charm banshee can have. ”
Then Willy said to Hans, "I heard that Donner often gave those slaves what territory, Hans knows?"
Hans nodded, and told Willy some of the rumors of the territory he had described from Donner, and the pirate leader burst out laughing.
"Hans, Donner, do you believe it?"
Hans hesitated, remembering some of the things Donner had said, some of which he had fantasized about.
After a few breaths of silence, Hans replied, "I don't know, but it's fascinating." “
"Father, will you kill Donner?" Jasmine looked at her father.
"It's God's birthday soon, and tomorrow, we'll go to sea. Willy did not answer his daughter's words, but said a word to Hans, and then turned back to the cave.
......
The campfire swayed in the sea breeze, and these people lay casually on the sand around the fire after they had eaten their fill, and the corners of their mouths showed a satisfied smile.
This cauldron was eaten clean by more than 20 people, and almost all the cauldron was added.
Donner's appetite is also surprisingly good today, probably because he hasn't eaten meat for too long, he killed two of the half-meter-long shrimp alone, and the only thing he regrets is that there is no wine.
This makes him miss life on the earth very much, all kinds of daily necessities can be bought at any time, what you want to eat, what you want to drink.
Ed, this kid admires Donner very much, and likes to be next to Donner, so he tugged at Donner: "Brother Donner, you haven't told us a story for a long time, keep telling us about it." It's the same thing I told in the mine area before, oh yes, it's the story of the Water Margin. ”
Hearing the story, the group of slaves all got up and sat up.
To tell the truth, in the eyes of this group of slaves, people who can tell stories and can read are powerful people.
Donner was a little amused, saying that in the mines, he was able to get close to the slaves very quickly, and the stories he told were indispensable.
In this world, transportation is basically by walking, communication is by roaring, entertainment is by hand, and the vast majority of people are illiterate, and the imagination is poor, and those who can tell wonderful stories are naturally worshipped.
This is also the reason why the troubadours of this continent are popular everywhere.
The troubadours of the mainland walk around, not only telling wonderful stories, human scenery, but also all kinds of gossip to people everywhere.
These things turned into various legendary epics in the mouths of troubadours, which spread on the mainland and made people talk about them.
At the iron ore mine meeting, in order to attract this group of slaves, Donner was ready to tell them stories, and he planned to tell Journey to the West at first.
Of course, the various characters in Journey to the West are not in line with this world, so he thought about changing to an otherworldly version of Journey to the West, telling the story of a priest who subdued four apprentices plus a demonic beast from the Eastern Continent to the Holy See in the West, and went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties all the way to obtain the Bible.
Later, he thought about it, although the otherworldly version of Journey to the West is wonderful and interesting, it is difficult to resonate with this group of slaves.
And under the influence of various novels, he has the impression that the Holy See is an existence that is righteous on the surface but evil in secret.
Therefore, he has little interest in the cause of faith in this powerful Holy See.
Of course, more importantly, it didn't help his uprising plan, so he told an otherworldly version of the Water Margin.
The storyline of the otherworldly version of Water Margin is similar, but the background of the characters has changed.
In his mouth, Liangshan heroes are a group of robbers who rob the rich and help the poor and kill bad nobles, Song Jiang has become a tax officer from a civilian knight, Lin Chong is the captain of the city defense army, Lu Zhishen is a lone mercenary who is jealous and hateful, and Wu Song, Chai Jin, Sun Erniang and others have all become otherworldly versions.
This story was written in a straightforward tone in Donner's mouth, and some of the plot was streamlined, and after it was told, it really aroused the interest of this group of slaves, and some people remembered what happened to them, and they wanted to become these heroes, go to the Liangshan bandit group, and be that hero.
"Where did we talk about it last time?" There's been a lot going on in this time, and Donner doesn't know where he's talking about it.
"I know, last time you said that the king ordered that the Liangshan bandit group accept the king's will and become the Liangshan legion. "Ed this kid loves this story, he remembers it clearly.
Donner smiled and said, "Then we'll move on here." ”
“...... The king of the enemy country also sent a marquis to recruit the Liangshan army, Wu Yong had this thought, but Song Jiang was loyal and honorable, and was unwilling to betray the kingdom. The enemy country later sent another duke over, and Song Jiang pretended to agree, and then defeated the legion on the opposite side......"
“...... That Song Jiang slept at night and received the revelation of the god of war, and used cavalry and infantry to set up a thunder and lightning array of the Chaotian Wind Volcanic Forest on the plain, killed the commander of the legion on the opposite side, and led the Liangshan legion to fight until the royal capital of the enemy country......"
"Wow, is that the one that Commander Song Jiang put on is the magic array taught to him by the God of War?
Forehead!
Donner was stunned and laughed, "Yes, that's right. ”
The story continues to be told, because of deletion and deletion, some wonderful plots are picked, and there are not many plots in the future.
At the end of the story, after the four dukes of the kingdom put poison in the wine given by the king and killed Song Jiang, these people were all indignant and scolded the traitorous ministers, as if they were the Song Gongming.
When the story was told, they all returned to their houses, and the next morning they went out to sea with the pirates.
