Chapter 84: The Speculation of the Partition Wall
Suddenly, I saw that a ribbon in the forest seemed to be pulled up and lifted into the air, turning into a red cloud in the sunlight.
The boundless fear came back to me, and I cried out, "Mr. Wood, the birds are coming, hurry up and get into the hole." With that, he jumped off the boulder and got into the gap between the boulders.
I looked around, quickly gathered my thoughts, and said to Mr. Wood, "Mr. Wood, we still have to build a stone wall, you build this end, and I will build the other end, and the small gap is stuffed with small stones, hay, and clothes, the sooner the better!" ”
This time, however, Wood didn't listen to me, and he shook his head: "Billy, dodging is never the way to go, I think we should use a rifle to kill the man who can control the bird." In this way, the birds will naturally scatter and flee. ”
I smiled wryly, "Mr. Wood, we didn't think that way, but it's just our assumption. I ask you, do you know anything about Wollongong? ”
Wood's face changed dramatically when he heard me talk about Wollongong, "Billy, of course I know about Wollongong, and I am also dumb because of Wollongong. I think the reason why the Governor sent me to lead troops to Wollongong is also to give me psychological comfort, after all, he also handed over the task of arresting the stowaways to Mayor John in the first place. However, after I led the troops to Wollongong, I sent more than 200 soldiers up the mountain to arrest the killers, but only four or five people came back, and they were in a trance, telling me that there were countless poisonous snakes on the mountain, and most of the soldiers were bitten to death, and then no one dared to go up the mountain again, so I had to send soldiers to the nearby village to find out the situation, and the villagers told us that there was a mother and daughter in the village who could drive snakes, so since the mother and daughter came here, few people dared to go up the mountain. Later, the mother died, and it is said that her daughter wandered the mountains all day long, only occasionally coming down to sell some mushrooms. I had no choice but to report to the Governor, but Mayor John taunted me for not being able to fight well and losing my troops. Actually, my resignation has something to do with this, it can be regarded as a resignation, I planned to go back to the UK to find Jenny after I resigned, but I didn't expect to annoy Luna again. By the way, what are you doing with Wollongong? ”
I'm a little sorry, maybe it's the butterfly effect, I ran to Wollongong in a hurry to assassinate, and it triggered a series of reactions. Seeing Wood checking the bullets in his gun, and taking aim in the direction of the rising red cloud, I said, "Mr. Wood, I want to tell you that those two hundred of your soldiers did die at the hands of the girl who drove the snake. ”
Wood looked at me with a frown, "Billy, were you there at the time?" ”
I nodded.
Wood looked at me for a long time, "It's incredible how a little girl can kill two hundred soldiers." ”
"Mr. Wood, at that time your two hundred soldiers were less than twenty meters away from the girl, and a soldier saw such a snake, so he shot at the girl, he thought that if he killed the girl, these snakes would be leaderless, who knows, as soon as the girl fell, the snakes fell into a state of madness, and they jumped up one after another, biting those soldiers to death, and only four or five ran away."
Wood's lips trembled, and of course he knew, and I was telling him that if he killed the birdmen, the birds would attack him, and the two of us would be the third and fourth camels.
I patted Wood on the shoulder, "Mr. Wood, when you encounter an opponent stronger than yourself in the wasteland, the animals will choose to run and dodge, this is not ashamed, this is the wisdom of survival." Let's hurry up and build a stone wall! ”
After that, I picked up the stone and chose a narrow place and began to build the stone wall. Wood put down his rifle and began to lift the stones.
In the blink of an eye, we sealed the entrance of the cave with stone and stayed quietly inside.
Wood looked at me and said, "Billy, you were the one who assassinated Hamid in Wollongong, right?" ”
I knew that what I had just said, while convincing Wood to put down his rifle, would definitely make him suspect that I was the killer.
Of course, I can't admit to the charge of assassinating the Prince, "Mr. Wood, you have to talk about evidence, our family signed a purchase agreement with Prince Hamid at the Crown Hotel not long ago, and he is now my customer, what motive do I have to assassinate my customer?" ”
Wood smiled and said to me, "Billy, I know you're not going to admit it. That's good, I'm no longer the commander of the Brydon garrison, but a father who just wants to find his daughter, and I'm just curious. ”
Outside, there was a gradual chirping sound, and at the same time, the melodious whistle came and went, and I seemed to see the birds flying up and down in the ups and downs of the whistle.
Suddenly, there was a loud cry of birds in my ears, and I knew that the parrots had landed on top of us.
I peeked out through the cracks, and saw countless sheep piled up on the body of the big boar, and the vultures had long since disappeared, and they must have realized that they could not compete with these little birds, so they left early. I envy them for having wings.
I only looked at it a few times and then stopped looking, and I felt like I had a phobia of denseness, from the flock of snakes in Wollongong to the flock of birds I've seen these days, and the dense situation would immediately upset me.
When the birds dispersed with a hula, the huge body of the big boar had turned into a pile of skeletons.
Wood and I had been in this small cavern for more than two hours, and for two hours we did not dare to say a word, nor to breathe, but each faced a wall, like a monk in meditation, but we did not have six purifications, but mobilized all our senses, and were engrossed in the movement outside.
When everything was quiet outside the cave, Wood and I breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Did all the birds fly away?"
"I think there's no sound outside."
"Can you get out now?"
"I don't know, who knows where those birds have gone, whether they will come back!"
"Why don't we wait a little longer?"
"Well, let's wait a minute, and when the birds and the whistling bastard are gone, we'll go out again!"
"How do we know that bastard is gone?"
"I don't think it will be long before he's gone, if he weren't a real ass."
Wood and I were talking in the hole.
Suddenly, there was a thumping sound on the stone wall across from me, startling Wood and me. Immediately after that, someone outside said, "Is anyone home?" He spoke in the language of the Bama people.
Wood naturally didn't understand, and although I did, I didn't know how to answer for a while.
The man asked, "Is anyone home?" ”
I stammered in the Bama language, "Nobody! Let's go! ”
The man laughed: "It's a pity that I'm a bastard, I just heard two bastards discussing the issue of whether I'm a bastard or not, can I join the discussion on this matter, because I'm the one who has the most right to speak about whether I'm a bastard or not." ”
I was happy, this guy was very funny, so I said, "Welcome to the discussion, it's just that a flock of birds just disturbed my rest, and I'm going to sleep." We'll talk about the bastard later. ”
"Oh, I raised those little birds, I took them out to forage for food, disturbed your rest, that's really sorry, I'm leaving. Hey, no, how can you speak Bamaan, are you one of those damn Bamaans? ”
I think this guy may be missing a string in his brain, and we have been talking for so long before he remembers to ask me if I am from the Bama tribe. Listening to him say "damn Bama", it seems that he doesn't have a good opinion of Bama, and I need to use my talent for bullshit and paraphrase his words.
So I said loudly, "I'm not one of those damn Bamaans, hey, how can you speak Bama, are you one of those damned Bamaans?" ”
The man laughed when he heard this: "I said, are you missing a string in your brain, we have been talking for so long, and you only remembered to ask if you are from the Bama tribe, it is really laughable." ”
I couldn't laugh or cry, this person actually said what was in my heart just now, mocking my shallowness and naivety.
The man continued: "You are not from the Bama, how can you speak Bama? Don't tell me, I'll guess who you really are? ”
I said, "Okay, I'll see if you can guess who I am." ”
The man said, "What if I guessed it?" ”
I replied, "You have to guess me, I promised to give you a third of the jerky in my pocket." ”
"Why don't you give me half of it?"
"We're two people, you're one, and I'll give you a third, so it's only fair that each of us has the same amount."
"Then if I lose, will I give you a third of my jerky?"
"No, you're one person, we're two people, and you need to give us two-thirds so that we're each the same, and that's fair."
The man didn't even say, "How can it be fair that you lose and only take out one-third of the jerky, and I lose and have to take out two-thirds of the jerky." ”
"Of course, because that's the only way to have the same amount of jerky in each of our hands, so it's fair."
The man thought about it for a long time, but he didn't seem to be able to figure out this very simple and fair math problem, and finally lost his patience, "Okay, just listen to you, I'll guess you first."
I said, "Okay! ”
"I guess you're from the Wick clan, and they all like to burrow, don't you?"
I said, "The Wicks are dying, I'm not the Wicks, you guessed wrong." ”
"Then you're from the Gure, aren't you?"
"Wrong answer!"
The man said seven or eight tribes in succession, and I denied them all, and he slapped his thigh and shouted, "I see, you're those Englishmen, aren't you?" After saying that, he was very proud.
I said to him through the wall, "I'm sorry, but you still got it wrong." ”
The man was frustrated, "I've lost, I'll give you two-thirds of the jerky." Now it's your turn to guess who I am? ”
I thought for a moment and said, "I guess you have a secret way to control birds, right?" ”
The man said happily: "Haha, you still have a vision, brother, and you can see my bird control skills at a glance." It's not me bragging, the only one in the world who can control birds is your brother and me. ”
I was holding a small grass in my mouth and smiling playfully. "I guess you keep saying you're a damn Bama, but you're a Bama, at least you used to, right?"
The man sighed, "You guessed it again, I used to be a Bama, but not anymore. ”
I immediately said, "Oh, then I guess you were kicked out of the tribe by the Bama, right?" To tell the truth, you are not allowed to lie, and whoever wants to lie is a worm. "The Bama people call snakes long worms, and they use birds as totems, so they hate snakes that feed on their eggs, and when they swear, they often refer to snakes as swears.
The man was annoyed and said, "yes, what if I was blasted out by the Bama?" Lao Tzu now knows how to control birds, and when I see those people, I will let the birds bite their butts. Okay, okay, if you win, I'll admit defeat, you come out! ”
I laughed, "That's not good, I'm done guessing!" ”
The man asked, "What else can you guess?" ”
My brain spun and I laughed, "I know everything about you?" I know your name, your age, know what is in you, and even more? ”
"Haha, brother, the cowhide can't be blown too big, it's easy to burst, do you really think you're an old fairy if you get it right for two games?"
"Hey, how do you know I'm an immortal, I didn't let you guess this, hey, this doesn't count, now I'm guessing you, not you guessing me." I said with a pretended confusion.
The man paused, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally he exclaimed, "Okay, guess! ”
I pretended to be profound and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to recite a mantra, and ask them to help me guess who you are," and suddenly remembered the mantra when the little mushroom drove away the snake, so I also pretended to recite it in words that I couldn't hear very clearly: "In the middle of the country's hanging Han Sea, the strange peaks are Leilei, like a heavenly horse galloping, and the situation is near the sea." Do not weave or clothe, and cover yourself with bird feathers. There is no smoke and fire, only Ru Mao drinks blood, and the nest dwells in the den...... I don't know what these mantras mean, but I have heard the little mushroom recite them a few times, but I have also memorized them.
The man wondered, "You! You! How do you know this spell? ”
I also deliberately wondered: "What, will you too?" No, you're making trouble and blocking me from casting spells, haha, it's late, I've already guessed who you are. You're ......" I said slowly, and my voice was infinitely lengthened, and I had been to Tom's Bar, and the host and Tom himself said the same.
Sure enough, the man replied in horror, "I am ......"
I said, "You are the exiled Bama, and your name is Add." Right? ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and said slowly, "Yes." ”
That's right, I've long suspected that this person is Eddie, for the simple reason that he speaks Bama dialect, and that only Bama people can control birds, which I can't tell, so how can I still mess around in the wasteland.
Then I said, "Thou hast the feathers of a lyrebird on your head, and a skirt made of millstone turf around your waist, and peacock feathers on it." You're naked, and you have a whistle on your chest, right? ”
Add's voice trembled, "yes, how do you know." ”
I almost laughed out loud, the idiot probably didn't know I was looking at him through a gap.
Eddie immediately understood, "Bastard, are you peeking at me?" It doesn't count. ”
I laughed, "It's so easy to guess what you're wearing, I didn't say you have to count it, but I know a lot of things that only you know, and even you don't know, and you can let me guess slowly!" ”
Eddie said disdainfully, "You don't believe it! ”
"The whistle on your chest is special, isn't it? I guess he's you......" I was about to say that he stole it, but then I thought it might make Eddie angry by saying that, so I changed my words and said, "It's your baby!" You take it more than your life. ”
Add said no more, but I saw him nodding.
"Haha, I also know that your whistle has a few words engraved on it, I don't need to look at that whistle, I know what is engraved on it? I'm afraid this is not even clear to you, including all of you, the Bama people! ”
Digression: From September serialization to the present, there has only been a two-day interruption during the eleventh period, and other than that, it is persistence. Every day there are many new ideas, slowly integrated into the creation, sometimes writing is happy, will write oneself laughing, sometimes painful distressed by the lack of talent or lack of inspiration. Yesterday, when I was looking back, I found that three friends commented on it, and I would like to thank you. There is also a friend who has been insisting on using K coins to watch my VIP chapters, and I am very grateful, and because of his persistence, I have earned more than three yuan from writing so far. The world is absurd at times, just like the wasteland in the novels I wrote. I sometimes think that if that VIP just copied my text and sold it to someone on other websites, so, 17K built a platform, I wrote it with all my might, and you easily copied it to make money, and I want to thank you, because your VIP made me have income, wouldn't this plot be even more exciting than the novel. Of course, this is my conspiracy theorist's mentality to figure out readers, which is very rude, as an author, of course, I hope that readers will recognize my words, but the phrase "knowing everything in life is enough" is not suitable for online novel writers, it is very inappropriate.
