Chapter 40: The Great Waves Wash the Sands
Fifteen DollarsSince coming to the tribe, Ikaruga has kept him by his side, taking care of both the cleaning of his room and the writing of unimportant paperwork for Ikaruga.
For this short young man, the turtledove has always been a little uncertain.
Call him smart, and in some ways he's certainly smart!
On the way back to the mountain from the Buffalo market, if it weren't for fifteen dollars, the turtledove and his party didn't know how long they would have to go around in the mountains.
Now fifteen dollars has been with the turtledove for almost a month, but he behaves clumsy, sometimes stupid, and looks more like he has an intellectual disability.
And the personality is extremely introverted.,Don't like to talk much.,When you speak, you're shy.。
Turtledove didn't know how such an Indian, who had also gone to Africa to stay overseas, could have such a character.
"Do you have any ideas, can you tell us first?" Turtledove asked.
"There are moles in the tribe." Fifteen whispered as he carried the bucket.
Turtledove's brow furrowed.
He also had doubts, but this kind of thing, either there is solid evidence, or simply don't say it, otherwise it may be bad as soon as it is said.
Sure enough, the four-legged snake suddenly became furious. "What do you say? The people in the tribe, who didn't follow us from birth to death, how could there be a mole! ”
"Four-legged snake, don't make noise!" The turtledove stopped the four-legged snake.
"Turtledove! He's slandering! Are you suspicious of me? The four-legged snake asked. As the person in charge of tribal vigilance and housekeeping, and the banner owner of the Zhenghong Banner, the four-legged snake cannot tolerate any dirty water thrown at him, not even suspicious!
"Alright, four-legged snake. I know what to do! The turtledove said to the four-legged snake.
Then he turned his head and said to the fifteen dollars, "How many men do you need?" ”
Fifteen looked up and said, "Ten, no, three, three is enough!" ”
"I'll give you five of you!" The turtledove said, "You go and do it!" ”
With that, the turtledove himself wrote a warrant and handed it over to fifteen dollars.
Fifteen took the warrant with some excitement, bowed to the turtledove and the four-legged snake, and hurried to wipe the toilet with the bucket.
After fifteen dollars had left, the four-legged snake looked at the turtledove with some doubt, and said:
"This little man has only been here for a long time, and you believe in him so much?"
The Four-legged Snake has always been in charge of the security and defense of the tribe, and this time it made a mistake, was touched within the camp area, and killed several people in a row, and the Four-legged Snake must be to blame.
Fifteen dollars were brought up at this time, and he wanted to see if he could catch the murderer, which was equivalent to directly breaking the incompetence of the four-legged snake in front of the turtledove. And, it also divided the power of the four-legged snake a little bit.
It's a trivial point, but it's inevitable that the four-legged snake will have some thoughts.
So just now, the turtledove cut through the mess directly, and didn't ask in detail what he wanted to do with fifteen dollars.
Just give him five people and let him do it!
Big deal, it's a no-brainer!
For the fifteen-dollar person, Turtledove always felt that he couldn't understand something.
This is a very contradictory person.
Clever and stupid, simple and complex.
Just like his appearance, he looks like a child, but he is actually an adult.
The turtledove patted the four-legged snake on the shoulder and said, "As our tribe grows bigger and bigger, more and more people will join in. It's not a question of whether I trust him or not, but in this situation, why don't we give it a try? ”
"Ikaruga, you're doubting my abilities, aren't you? Do you think I'm no longer fit to be in charge of the guard? ”
"No, four-legged snake! There's no one better suited to the Guard than you, and with you, I can sleep peacefully at night! Ikadove sighed, and said to him earnestly:
"However, if our tribe just wants to survive in this mountain forest, it is enough to rely on a few of us! But if we really want to achieve the great goal of planting the eight-color flag all over the west bank of the Mississippi River, can we do it with just a few of us? You have to give the newcomers some chances, right? ”
"You give me another day, you see if I can do it!" The four-legged snake walked away in a huff.
When he was about to go out, he kicked the gray-yellow earth dog guarding the door.
"Useless stuff!"
This dog runs around the mountains all day long, and I don't know who bought it, and I can't even look at an enemy!
The turtledove tried to stop him, but his hands were raised in the air, but finally he put it down.
Never mind.
Big waves!
The current banner owners of the turtledove tribe are naturally unspeakably sincere and loyal.
However, there are many things that cannot be done by relying on Akagi alone.
Let's go this step first!
……
At night in the Black Wind Ridge, the moonlight drips down from the dense branches and leaves, and the dense fog in the dense forest is like a ghostly hell.
Occasionally, a few dark blue dots of light appeared in the thick fog, and it was a wild beast watching their prey.
Suddenly, the sound of three short quails sounded in the thick fog.
The 'Grey Sparrow', who was standing guard on a tree branch, was startled and looked in the direction from which the voice came.
Immediately after that, the quail's voice rang out three more times.
So the finch slipped down from the branch and walked in the direction of the sound.
His figure quickly disappeared into the night mist.
It wasn't long before three figures quietly emerged from the night mist, and they approached a large tree that required three people to hug each other.
As they got closer, a short whistle sounded from the trunk of the tree.
It's just that the short whistle was cut off as soon as it sounded.
"Tuk Tuk!" Two crossbow bolts went into the crevices in the trunk of the tree.
The three figures quickly pounced, dragging a man out of it.
"Withdraw! Get out of here! ”
One of the shadows said.
They move quickly, they come silently, and they leave without a trace.
Soon, they took the man out of the trunk of the tree and came to a waterfall.
They threw him into the icy waters.
Only then did they remove the masks from their faces and take a big breath of fresh air with moisture.
Speaking here, the sound of the waterfall is masked by the sound of the water, so that it is not afraid to be heard.
"Hurry up and get him up for interrogation, we're short on time!"
"It's a big fish caught this time, wait a little longer, don't kill people too quickly!"
"If that nerd Anderson can be a little stronger, can we use that much effort? Damn Anderson, he's been here for so long, he can't even get a reliable piece of information! ”
"Say no more! Grey Sparrow, you go and get him up! ”
The finch jumped into the water and lifted the man with his hands tied behind his back up from the water.
The man choked on the water and coughed up blood from his nose.
"Gray Sparrow, I didn't expect you to be really a mole!" The man was lying on a rock, his lower body still washed by the rushing river.
