Section 7: Pillow (Medium)
"It's still much shorter than on land, just over half a month. However, the tribe is full of enemy spies, and the people I bring with me are all people they know, so it is really dangerous to stay for an extra day, and the warehouse town is remote, but it is safe enough, and it can also make a detour to the interior. Vahu's thinking was clear: "I still have a few men over there, plus a ship and a warehouse dock, and I can earn money to survive." ”
"I see, this is indeed a very calm and long-term thinking. Townsend smiled politely, not a faux pas, but he didn't tell Vahu the truth, which was too cruel to the patient: "I thought you came because you thought I was a good person." ”
"I ...... I didn't know you were here, but I was so anxious to leave that I didn't ask for the names of the other leaders. Vahu apologized: "By the way, Mr. Townsend, why are you here? I see that the samurai outside are very elite, are they all Mr. Townsend's men? I still have a reward for Mr. Townsend!"
"The forces I represent have cooperated with Warehouse Town and the tribes here at the highest level, and you're lucky to have it. Townsend's answer was vague but high-end, and it was not clear at all after a long analysis: "Only two of your wounded are seriously injured, and everyone else can be saved, such as food and lodging, you don't have to worry about things like food and lodging." ”
"As for the rest, wait until you recover, my people will watch it for you, and no spies will be able to touch my door. But the ship had to be repaired somewhere else, and the goal was too big. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Townsend, for your arrangement!" "The great emotion of being able to get help from others in the most dangerous times cannot be overstated, and with tears in his eyes, Vahu grabbed a knife on the spot and was about to use the earthen method to express his gratitude—according to Townsend's speculation, the boy was going to cut off his face or his fingers, so he reached out and unloaded his knife, and threw it to the stunned Wahu retinue.
"I have received your wishes, as a patient, you should be honest and don't ask the doctor for trouble. Townsend stood up and invited Marcia to stand in front of Vahu, "This is your savior, re-introduce, Lady Marcia, the honorable senior apprentice of the supernatural." ”
Hearing Marcia's true identity, Vahu couldn't help but be stunned for a while, because in the tribal environment, it is impossible for a noble anomalist to change the bandage and feed medicine for a wounded person with his own hands, even if it is a genuine chief! After reacting, Vahu struggled to get up, but was stopped by Marcia again, or Townshend's words: "Be honest, don't make trouble for me!"
Although Marcia's tone was stern, there was sincere concern in her eyes. He wiped away his tears, and bowed reluctantly half-up, and saluted Townsend as well—he was sober-headed, and he didn't know Lady Marcia, so why should others treat him so kindly?
"It's empty talk now, and the most important thing is to heal from your injuries. Townsend was tired from seeing Vahu, after all, he had just begun to recover: "We'll talk in a few days." I'll go first, and if you need anything from here, let your men come directly to me. ”
When Townsend went out, the captain of the guard at the door handed a metal sign to Vahu, explaining that this was the pass pass for the headquarters, and he couldn't walk around without it. He also explained some of the rules to Vahu's entourage, hoping that they would communicate them to each other so as not to cause misunderstandings.
In these polite and detailed explanations, there was a vague sense of mystery to Vahu, and he sensed that Townsend's identity had changed dramatically. For the elders of Vahu's men, they saw a literal distinction between ranks, Townsh's strength, rigor and majesty, combined with the elite warriors they saw on the docks, and they would never confuse each other's positions.
It is reassuring to know that Townsend treats Vahu's entourage well, and in a manner that is respectful, not pity or charity. They could receive the same quota of supplies as Townsend's men, they could eat in the same pot as Townsend's men, the children could learn from the children of the merchant group, and the women would be able to do what they could without being hindered.
For the next three days, the Wahu people were cooperative. Because the three-masted ship had to be moved, they sent the original captain and elders to the scene to remove the contents of the cargo hold from the ship. After the two sides took a joint inventory, the caravan was transported to the headquarters on pack horses and found a safe place to seal it. Someone simply repaired the damage to the bottom of the three-masted ship, drained it, dragged it out to sea, and sailed into the bay ten miles away.
The whole process strives to be concise and rigorous, and every detail is done in full accordance with the spirit of Townsend's orders, which is actually a test of Thorn Rose's execution and adaptability.
After three days, Vahu's health gradually improved, he was able to walk on the ground, and he seemed to be much better. So Townsend invited him to his room to talk, and there was no one else on the scene except for the specially arranged Marcia. The identity of Vahu, the chief's son, is not fake, he knows that this time he is talking about business, so he brought an elder, which should be his strongest help at the moment.
After sitting down, the two sides exchanged greetings in a cordial and peaceful atmosphere, and Vahu's gratitude was completely heartfelt, and Townsend accepted it reservedly, and praised Vahu's perseverance and courage.
Then everyone has to face the real problem, although it is a bit difficult - in three days, no matter how slow Vahu is, he should have received some information from the side, after all, there are some situations that Townsend has not intended to hide, such as the tragedy in Harveytown. This was a bolt from the blue for Vahu, as he had planned to join Warehousetown for smuggling.
"I've got to tell you one thing first. After a brief silence, Townsend tugged at the heavy topic: "Vahu, it was a wise decision for you to bring someone to Warehouse Town, but the world is unpredictable, Warehouse Town's only smuggling trading partner, Harvey Town, was destroyed by evil forces more than two months ago. In other words, your previous plan is completely unworkable. ”
"Actually, I already know a little bit. Despite being mentally prepared, Harvey hung his head when he really heard the news: "That's something even more tragic than our tribe." ”
"If you want to survive, you can't dwell on the past, and even more so as a leader, because you have a greater responsibility than others. Townsend did not elaborate further on the Harvey incident: "My force includes some of the Harvey survivors who are fighting for themselves and those who have died. ”
"We will also do our best to survive, and the blood and revenge of the tribe must be avenged!" Vahu slammed his fist on the table - revenge is an eternal and resonant topic among these people.
