One by one, earthworms
Seri Toast looked at Ago Toast and said, "You, won't you keep me?" β
Ago Toast turned his face to the side.
Seri Toast stared at me again and said, "You slave won't say a word for me?" β
But I went over and took Ago's hand and said, "Let's go out for a walk." β
Looking at the back of us leaving, Seri Toast said: "You, you are not saving you from death, and you are also considered accomplices, that is, murder." β
We didn't stop, we didn't speak, we didn't look back.
But Gibb answered for us, and he said, "Master Toast, please!" β
Seri Tusi said: "I, I don't leave, I don't leave, I want to stay here, you, you are my granddaughter, why can't I stay here." β
I smiled at each other.
Then Ago Toast said, "Gibb." If the old toast wants to stay, let him stay. β
Seri Toast will not be idle, every day he goes out to talk about Ago Toast, and also helps others to give advice, so as to win people's hearts.
We ignored him and let him go free.
At first our people were smiling and listening to his nonsense, but then when they saw him, they all went into hiding.
Only then did he realize that he was really old, beyond his strength, and followed us all day long.
The toast masters really dragged us down and made us miss the best time for spring ploughing.
Agotosi asked me, "It's too late to grow food, what are we going to plant?" β
I said, "Poppy." β
She said: "Poppy? β
I said, "Poppy." β
The old toast took over and said, "Can poppies fill their stomachs?" You have to grow food. β
Ah Guo Tusi said: "I think, it's too late to plant potatoes now, but it's still too late to grab red roots." β
I said, "Just grow poppies." β
"Look, the Han slaves are making bad plans for you again, and they want to starve all your people to death." β
Agotoast said, "What do our people eat? β
I said, "Grain." β
She said, "But you don't agree with planting." β
I said, "What we grow is food." β
"Look, he's confused himself, and he wants to confuse others too." β
But Agotosi said, "I see, you mean to turn the poppy into money, and then use the money to buy food, so that our people will have something to eat." β
I said, "Yes." β
"We're going to plant all the land that has been delayed with poppies," she said. β
I said, "Okay." β
She said, "Wouldn't we be selling for a lot of money?" β
I said, "Yes." Since it was Bugon Toast's bad idea that dragged us down to sow seeds, then we will use poppy to defeat Bugon Toast again."
Seri Toast sneered and said, "Joke." β
Agotoast said, "How? β
I glanced at the old toast and put my mouth close to Ah Guo's ear. But the old toast craned his neck and raised his ears, trying to hear me.
But I whispered to Ah Guo, "Let the bright flowers of the poppy poison the people of Bugon Toast." β
Seri Toast said, "I hear you." β
We knew he hadn't heard, and we looked at each other and smiled.
Ago Toast said, "Really? β
I whispered, "Confidential." β
We smiled and held hands and went back to our room.
The old toast said in the back: "Hmph, I don't want to hear it yet, you don't listen to what you say to me, hum!" β
In the room, I said, "When the poppies bloom, the fragrance is overflowing, and then the wind will blow the fragrance of the poppies to the Bugon Toast, and his people will be poisoned by the poppy pollen, and then we will sell the ripe poppies to the people of Bugon Tusi, and we will make a lot of money, and we will not only make money, but also weaken the fighting power of his people." Let Bugon remain poor, never be able to afford guns, and let his men be weak and never be able to fight. β
"This is a problem for us forever," she said. β
I said, "Yes." β
"That's it," she said. β
After the sowing was completed, we asked Seri Toast to make earthworms to catch the fish of the first man's youngest son.
A month passed, and for some reason, we used many methods, and even let the old toast go out alone, but we didn't catch this fish. No, not even the shadow of the fish.
Did he see through our plan?
It must be impossible, you can't fool him once or twice, and no one will doubt it anymore for a long month.
Could it be that when our men fired indiscriminately that day, they inadvertently killed him hiding in the shadows, and our people didn't know it?
This one may be a little convincing.
So he told Gibb to take the men to the woods where they had shot that day.
I searched for three days and three nights, not to mention a decomposing corpse, but not a single strand of clothes or shoes on the headman's youngest son.
It seems that the youngest son of the head man did run away.
When Gibb was gone, Agotoast said, "Won't he take revenge?" β
I said, "It looks like he did give up." β
"He must be hiding around the official village, waiting for his moment," she said. β
At this moment, I heard footsteps outside, and the footsteps were as light as a cat's footsteps.
I said out loud, "The killer will not let go of one opportunity after another to kill the old toast." β
She also said loudly: "That's because he knows that we sent someone to protect Abel in secret." β
I said loudly again, "I didn't send a single soldier to protect the old toast. β
She stared at me in surprise and said, "You want him to be killed?" β
I didn't answer, I just nodded.
She said, "You really want him to die?" β
I said, "He is dead, and Ah Guo Tusi is the most landed, most populous, and most powerful Tusi master in this Daliang Mountain, and the other Tusi masters will have to surrender to your feet and recognize you as their leader." β
She stared at me.
I said, "When the time comes, Tuowu Village will merge with this cliff village, and there will be only one name, Ago Tusi Guanzhai." β
She said, "Oh my God, what a rebellious thing to kill your own grandfather, you still dare to ask me to do it." β
I said: "Ago Toast is benevolent and righteous, Ago Toast values love and righteousness, and Ago Toast regards his relatives as his lifeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
She said, "Then why do you want me to bear the charge of not pleading to my six relatives?" β
I said, "Just because your military advisor did this behind your back, and Agotosi didn't know about it, and he will punish me when the time comes." β
She said, "But you are my steps, and you are also my relative!" β
I said, "So I'm going to think about you and take everything for you." β
"Don't say anything like that again," she said. β
I said, "Yes." β
"Don't do anything like that again," she said. β
I didn't say anything.
She said: "Hanhan, even if you succeed, but there are still my parents, my father will be a toast, do you still want to kill him?" β
I said, "How can a person who has endured so many years without being a toast fight with you?" β
"That's a matter of course," she said. β
I said, "He will take the initiative to give it to Ago." β
The door was kicked open, followed by a shout, "Okay, so you're plotting to murder me." β
Old Toast rushed in from outside.
