Chapter 21: The Patriarch's Invitation
"Do you think the patriarch wants to go to the depths of the snowy mountains to investigate?" While using the instrument to treat Li Ping'an, Rem expressed doubts about Luba's judgment.
She had the impression that Ruba's IQ did not support his ability to observe words and colors.
"In the past few investigations, the patriarch will not deliberately explain anything, this time he also specially reminded me, and according to the character of the patriarch, for Li Ping'an, the benefactor who saved his son, he will definitely personally send you here, but he now looks like he has something on his mind, and this can't escape the eyes of my old Luba" Luba swore and said.
Li Ping'an, who was on the side, was full of thoughts, if he could follow the Jabari people, then his hope of finding the ape would be a little greater.
"I'm here to look for apes in the depths of the snowy mountains, if I can, I hope to go to the depths of the snowy mountains with you, my strength is also quite good, and I have the means to carry a lot of supplies, I am very useful to you." Li Ping'an looked sincere.
Lu Ba didn't believe much in the strength of Li Ping'an's mouth, but he was very interested in the method of carrying supplies.
"Is that your ability to shove something into your ass and hide it?"
Li Ping'an heard Lu Ba's description like this, his face was full of black lines, but it was not easy to refute.
"But you don't know when this wound will heal, and we'll be on our way in two weeks."
Ruba said with a little regret.
"That's not the point, his wound could heal in a week with the help of our herbs, but the point is." It was Rem who spoke, she hesitated for a moment, obviously a little worried, but finally said: "The key is that there have never been foreigners in the exploration team before, if Li Ping'an is allowed to join, then it is necessary to let the patriarch communicate with others." ”
Rem was implicitly telling Li Ping'an that if he wanted to enter the investigation team, he needed the consent of the patriarch.
Li Ping'an understood, but he didn't care, if this generation of Mbaku agreed, it would be more convenient, he could follow their team directly into the snow mountain, if they didn't agree, then follow them directly, he could hope for a telescope in his bag, and he didn't believe that they could find themselves behind him if they were three or four miles away.
In the whole plan to find the white ape, the most crucial thing is to find the location of the Jabari tribe.
Li Ping'an's plan to find specific information about the white ape from the Jabari tribe was not so gentle at the beginning.
Now that he has saved their young master by chance, blended into the Jabari tribe, and obtained their limited friendship, then his original 'violent' plan can be discarded.
After all, he was still a brother to that Mbaku just now, and Li Ping'an was embarrassed to do it.
Lu Ba said: "Li Ping'an saved the seeds of our tribe, and he is a friend of our tribe, since we can just help our friend fulfill his wish, I think the patriarch will not refuse." ”
After saying that, Ruba went back to discuss with Mbaku.
Li Ping'an saw the figure of Balu leaving, and had a guess in his heart that the Jabari tribe might not care about their own strength, but they would definitely care more about the method they could provide material replenishment.
Sure enough, after Ruba who went back to report to Mbaku about the incident, Mbaku asked Ruba: "Did he say how many supplies he could carry and how?" ”
"He didn't say this, he just said that he could bring a lot."
"It seems that this explorer is not simple, but if he is a simple ordinary person, then he can't travel the world alone to explore." Mbaku said expressionlessly.
"And he's strong, according to Rem, he can easily deal with me." When he said this, Lu Ba's face was a little unconvinced, he claimed to be the second warrior of the tribe, and he had never moved with Li Ping'an, so he naturally didn't think that he was not the opponent of that small man.
Mbaku was a little surprised, Rem is his sister, he still knows the relationship with Ruba, Rem said that he can easily deal with Ruba may be deliberately exaggerated in order to stimulate Ruba, but it must be a sure thing to defeat Ruba, with him joining, the survival rate of his own group can be improved.
He had a plan in his mind and said to Ruba, "Well, let's go see him tomorrow and ask him how much supplies he can bring, and then make a concrete plan." ”
On the other side, Li Ping'an had finished his treatment at this time and was eating hot pot with Rem and Klin.
Although Rem was curious about where Li Ping'an took out the things, he still didn't get to the bottom of it, there was nothing more important at the moment than the food in front of him.
Although Li Ping'an's skills are average, the ingredients used are top-notch, and the hot pot itself does not have high requirements for craftsmanship.
Besides, the only seasoning that Rem and they usually eat is salt, Li Ping'an conquered their stomachs with the condiments that were thousands of years ahead of them, and then took out sweet wine as a drink, and after a few glasses of stomach, Clint and Rem were on the head.
Rem pulled Li Ping'an's younger brother and brother to shout, and Klin also called a good uncle, Li Ping'an saw that the time was ripe, and began to ask the two of them if they knew the story of Tarzan of the Apes.
Rem giggled: "What an ape Tarzan, an ape Mbaku is about the same." Rem burped as she spoke.
"Then I must have heard something wrong, good sister, tell me about the ape Mbaku." Li Ping'an asked with a smirk on his face.
"Uncle, ask me, I know." Klin, who was on the side, drank too much and said Ah Sir, I will answer this question.
Li Ping'an poured another glass of wine for Kling and said, "Then tell me the story of the ape Mbaku." ”
Clint squinted his eyes and took a sip of wine, feeling very useful in his heart, and began to talk eloquently......
In the middle of the staggering, Li Ping'an not only knew the story of the ape Bakum, but even Jabari knew all the investigations of the white ape in the past few centuries.
After learning that there is not only one so-called ape, Li Ping'an was very happy, this time the whole ape man slaughtered and ate meat and drank blood, so that he could evolve, and his life span could be increased after success, which was simply a good thing to buy one get one free.
The next day, Mbaku, who came to Rem's Hospital, looked at Klin and Rem sleeping on the table in surprise, and hurriedly woke them up and asked what was going on.
"Li Ping'an, that guy didn't know where to conjure up a bunch of food, said he wanted to invite me and Kling to dinner, and then took out a bunch of delicious food, I didn't know after a few sips, I felt that it was delicious, so I drank more, and then you guys came." Rem said, shaking her dazed head.
"What's the drink, you're fine." Ruba on the side asked in a hurry.
Rem naturally knew what he was worried about, but he didn't say anything sarcastic, but said: "It's nothing, what he took should be the wine that the ancestors recorded, since settling in the snowy mountains, it has always been a pity for the ancestors to find the materials that can be used to make wine, and now I drink like this, but I understand their feelings." ”
Hearing Rem say this, Ruba's hanging heart also relaxed, and at the same time he was curious about the wine in Rem's mouth, picked up a bottle on the table, and poured it into his mouth.
Because he drank too hard, Ruba choked, squirted the wine out of his mouth, and then coughed violently.
Rem laughed when she looked at Ruba, and she remembered that she had choked on her first bite last night, so she said to Ruba, "Drink slowly, don't choke." ”
Ruba scratched his head embarrassedly, and then took another sip, the sweet and refreshing fruit wine filled his throat and nose with the unique fragrance of the fruit wood, and the sweetness of the fruit and the hotness of the alcohol instantly captured Ruba's stomach.
Then, like a bear eating honey, Ruba began to drink it without being choked for the first time.
After quickly drying half a bottle, he was sweating all over, breathed a sigh of relief, and despite the patriarch being by his side, he slammed the wine bottle on the table and roared: "Cool!" ”
And Mbaku is more concerned about Li Ping'an's ability to take out a bunch of things inexplicably, but Rem doesn't know how Li Ping'an took it out, every time that guy takes out something, he simply stretches out his hand behind him, and then takes it out.
Mbaku, who didn't get an answer, began to ask where Rem Li Ping'an was.
At this time, Ruba slammed the wine bottle on the table, startling the two people who were talking, because of Ruba's rough character, Mbaku did not support his sister and Ruba together, but now he didn't say anything.
Li Ping'an, who was sleeping inside, was also woken up, and after he came out of the outside, he said, What are you doing in the morning.
Mbaku asked, "Good brother, tell me how much supplies you can bring at one time." ”
Li Ping'an gestured, probably like this room is so big, the room where several people are now is about six meters wide and eight meters long, and more than three meters high.
Li Ping'an himself has a lot of supplies, and there are other things in the space, so he can only put about 300 cubic meters of materials, but he only said half of it, this is the habit of leaving a hand buried deep in his Chinese bloodline.
Mbaku was overjoyed, not to mention more than a hundred cubic meters, even if there was only a dozen cubic meters of food that could be put down, it would be enough for the investigation team to eat for a month.
Li Ping'an carried such a large amount, as long as the mix was reasonable, the dry food put in it was enough for the investigation team to operate in the snow mountain for a whole year. So he was overjoyed, so he said to Li Ping'an: "Okay, I will transfer the table investigation team and welcome you to join." ”
Li Ping'an forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, as long as he entered the investigation team, he would be half successful, as long as he succeeded in destroying the ape man when he saw the white ape, then his goal at this stage would be successful.
Li Ping'an stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, "Happy cooperation." ”
Mbaku shook back, and the two reached an agreement on cooperation, Li Ping'an was responsible for providing supplies, and the investigation team could help Li Ping'an find the White Ape Tribe for Li Ping'an to record.
Mbaku said embarrassedly: "Hehe, good brother, do you still have any wine, that fool of Ruba has drunk it in one go, and I want to taste it too." ”
Li Ping'an naturally wouldn't be stingy, took out another box, and said to Mbaku: "I'll keep a few bottles for myself, and I'll give this box to you." ”
Mbaku said embarrassedly: "Then thank you, I will definitely let you meet the Ape King when the time comes." ”
Lu Ba also stood up and looked at Li Ping'an with a pitiful face, Li Ping'an also understood what he meant, so he took out two bottles of wine and gave them to Lu Ba.
"I only have one bottle left and I want to drink it myself, you said it late, don't blame me for giving less." Li Ping'an comforted him.
"Then I don't mind, haha, I'll protect you on the road when the time comes." Ruba laughed.
In Luba's heart, although Li Ping'an fought against the snow leopard alone, and Rem himself said that he could beat himself, although he admitted that he had strength, but he had not done it, he himself was not convinced.
Li Ping'an is very appreciative, although he doesn't need his protection, but this heart is still happy.
However, Li Ping'an is so generous, he can't be stingy, he took out a dagger from his waist: "I see that you like the spear before, but you still lack a melee weapon, I will give you this dagger." ”
Li Ping'an couldn't be reserved, this was a vibranium dagger, he kept playing with it in his hand, and asked: "Then do you still have weapons, I can also give you a few good things outside." ”
Ruba smiled: "We have a lot of daggers like this, you can rest assured." ”
Li Ping'an sent Ruba away, and the phrase "we have a lot" has been lingering in his heart, so he called Kling over and prepared to complete a plan during this time.
