MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 85
At night, Yu was on duty at the checkpoint tower.
Her partner is a young man named Biao, who is also about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Biao didn't dare to be in the same space as Yu, one of them was inside the sentry tower and the other was outside the sentry tower.
Neither of them spoke, and Biao walked up and down on the high platform behind the wall with a bow and arrow on his back.
After a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked to the sentry tower, and said cautiously: "Captain, have you heard about the meeting in the afternoon?"
"What's the meeting?" Yu didn't seem to be very interested, leaning against the wall of the sentry tower, staring at the distant isolation area, motionless.
"That's... that's the meeting where the leaders and captains met with the Canglin Tribe."
"What happened to that?"
"Hey—" Biao slapped his thigh, "Are you really ignorant or pretending not to know, they are discussing to exchange you for more than a hundred cows."
"Well, now I know."
"I said Captain, are you not worried at all?"
"Has the negotiation come to fruition?"
"It's a discussion, but in the end it depends on what the leader wants."
"Has the leader agreed?"
"Uh, it seems that I haven't agreed yet, but I heard that I haven't refused. If I refused, why would I keep those people to stay for a few days? I think I might send you away after the holiday is over."
After Biao finished speaking, he couldn't help secretly looking at the girl in the room.
The other party didn't seem to have any reaction.
"Captain, why don't you run away."
Biao had been with Yu in the security team for a while, and he didn't dare to underestimate her. You must know that if this little devil gets aggressive, three arrows can kill three people in the blink of an eye.
Of course he also knew that Yu had always been obedient to the leader. That's why she was worried that if the cooperation with the Canglin Tribe was reached, would she have to listen to the leader's order to marry her?
So he couldn't help but persuade her to run away.
"So you think the leader will agree in the end, don't you?"
Biao was silent for a while, but still whispered: "The leader values the tribe so much, and often said in meetings that the interests of the tribe are paramount."
"Why don't you hurry up and leave, and I'll drag you here for a while."
Only then did Yu turn his head and look at the dark face by the window.
After a while, he shook his head and said, "Stand guard properly. You come in and sit and rest for a while. I'll go out and walk around the wall."
When Biao heard it, he couldn't guess whether she had adopted his opinion, but the other party called him into the sentry tower, so he might have listened.
Encouraging and protecting the tribe's people to leave is equivalent to betraying the tribe, and I'm afraid they will end up with the death penalty.
Biao couldn't help shivering for a while, but once the words had been spoken, they could not be taken back.
He gritted his teeth, put down the bow and arrow on his back, got into the sentry tower, turned his head and said to Yu: "Captain, take care."
He had lost his parents a long time ago, and he hadn't married yet. If he really disappeared, it would be over.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but have bitterness on my face.
Yu glared at him, "What are you thinking, guard the sentry tower well, I won't go anywhere, just walk outside."
Biao suddenly turned into an embarrassing face, and said with some unwillingness to give up: "But-Captain!"
Yu stared back at the rest of the words, so he had to stay where he was obediently, watching Yu go out.
The weather in Lidong is a bit cool, especially at night.
Inside the feather is a silk base coat, and outside is a long sackcloth.
The silk fabric has not been processed by modern machines and maintains the most original feel. Moreover, its composition is basically the same as the chemical composition of human skin, so it has the effect of warming in winter and cooling in summer. It only needs to put on hemp clothes outside to prevent heat loss.
She stood on the wall with her bow on her back, letting the wind blow her clothes happily.
At this moment, Qiang Jiaoyu took a closer look, and saw a figure in the direction of the isolation area, holding a torch, walking towards the checkpoint.
When the man walked into the range of the bow and arrow, she raised the bow and arrow, and shot an arrow to the ground five meters in front of the opponent.
The man stopped as expected, raised his head and shouted in the direction of the checkpoint: "Yu, it's me, don't shoot the arrow."
Yu had already seen who it was, but she didn't want to talk to him.
"The tribe stipulates that there are no special circumstances, and no one can enter or leave the checkpoint during the curfew time."
"If I don't go in, I'm at the checkpoint." Then please pay attention, don't cross the line in front, once you exceed that line, I will shoot an arrow. "
"Yu, why are you so serious, you know, I won't do anything to harm the Phoenix Tribe."
"I'm just acting in accordance with the rules of the tribe, and I hope that the guests can understand."
Yu's cold words chilled You, but the more she behaved, the more he wanted her.
Since he came to see her two years ago when he sent the cows, he never forgot her. After returning, he worked hard, tried every means to eat enough to make his body stronger, and hunted wildly with the hunting team. During the two years , has changed from that young man at that time to a very powerful young man today.
It can't be said that he is strong and burly, but he can already stand alone among his peers.
Especially the 400 cows that the Canglin Tribe trapped this time, he contributed the most.
Therefore, he has won the favor of the leader of Canglin the most, and this is also the reason why he came here this time.
But at this time, Yu's words made him sound uncomfortable, so he had to change the subject and said, "We are shooting arrows this afternoon, why didn't you come?"
Yu ignored him, and was even too lazy to say a word to him.
But thinking of what Biao said just now, the leader didn't say anything dead, but still kept the man, so he knew that the woman still cared about more than a hundred cows.
She suppressed the irritability in her heart and said sullenly, "I'm not free this afternoon."
You, who had been treated coldly, did not expect to get a response, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Then tomorrow, how about practicing archery together tomorrow?"
Yu instantly regretted talking to him just now, and refused directly without even thinking about it, "I have to be on duty tonight, and I have to sleep to make up for it tomorrow, so I don't have time."
You thought for a while: "It's okay, you'll wake up when you sleep through the night."
After finishing speaking, it occurred to them that tomorrow night, they could only shout on the wall one by one under the wall as they are now.
"Then you don't have to be on the night shift tomorrow night?"
Yu Mingwan really didn't need it, she was thinking about how to answer.
Let's talk about being on duty, this person will probably come over again and harass outside the wall.
Say you're not on duty, maybe you'll go to her the day after tomorrow.
annoying.
"I don't know yet, let's see tomorrow's arrangement."
The words were very vague, and the swimmers under the wall were a little disappointed.
Primitives have always played straight balls. In many tribes, if you like it, just grab it. If you grab it, it will be yours.
For Yu, You Zi thinks that he is patient enough.
Seeing her like this now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even see her once in the future.
Not holding back anymore, he shouted: "Yu, come with me to Canglin, I can give you anything, you don't have to work so hard, you have to keep watch at night."
Yu's head was instantly covered in black lines.
"Don't scream outside the wall at night, disturbing other people's sleep."
Two wolfhounds also barked at him.
You had already mustered up the courage to speak out just now, and suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about. He no longer continued to endure as before, and even expressed his feelings directly.
"Yu, I know that a man in your Phoenix tribe can only have one wife, don't worry, you come with me, I won't find anyone else."
"When I become the leader of the tribe in the future, I can give you whatever you want."
"If you don't want to part with the Phoenix Tribe, I'll send you back every few days, okay?"
Sentence after sentence of compromise and flattery. If it was another girl, I couldn't help but be moved.
In the primitive society, there can be several such infatuated men.
And you don't look too bad.
It's a pity that these words were heard in Yu's ears, but he felt that every sentence was getting louder and louder.
"shut up."
"Yu-I-Are you worried that your leader will not agree, you don't have to be afraid, I will persuade her, she wants those cows, she has not agreed now, it must be because we promised not to give much before, I will give another Hundreds."
You gritted his teeth, "No, if she wants it, I'll give it to her."
Yu couldn't bear it at this time, and directly drew three sharp arrows, put them on the longbow, and scolded in a cold voice: "If you don't leave at night, if you disturb the people, I will show no mercy."
The voice of swimming stopped.
He looked in the direction of the wall aggrievedly, raised his hand, and compromised: "Okay, I won't say anything, but what I said today counts, you go back and think about it."
After speaking, he reluctantly disappeared into the night.
Yu stood on the wall for a long time.
Until Biao in the sentry tower didn't know when he ran out and stood beside him.
Yu said: "Four hundred cows, isn't that a lot?"
Biao nodded, "We are almost catching up with the people in our tribe. Everyone will soon be able to share a cow, and they will be able to eat for a long time."
"You said the leader would be very happy if he had these four hundred cows."
Biao swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "If you don't like it, the leader will not force you. But looking at You like this, I feel that he really likes you. Do you want to think about him? In this way, someone will treat you in the future. Well, the leader can still get four hundred cows."
Yu lightly scoffed, like a smile but not a smile.
"In everyone's eyes, looking at me is like looking at four hundred cows!"
"Of course not, don't think too much about it. Although the leader wants the cow very much, she loves you the most."
Hearing the word "distressed", Yu's eyeballs moved slightly, "How do you know that she loves me?"
Biao scratched his head and said, "Actually, when you were talking to You just now, she came here."
"!" Yu was startled when he heard these words, and turned his head in disbelief, "The leader just came!"
Biao nodded, "But after standing behind the wall for a while, he left again."
"You—why didn't you just say that!"
"At that time, Young Master You was confessing his love to the captain, so I couldn't interrupt her, but after you finished talking, I didn't see her when I turned around. Didn't I come here to tell you now?"
"What's the use of talking now, she's gone."
Biao curled his lips, expressing grievance and helplessness.
Yu knew he couldn't be blamed, but felt very uncomfortable.
I was afraid that she would misunderstand that he really had intentions with you. At that time, he will really go along with the flow and marry himself to the Sanglin tribe in exchange for the four hundred cows.
Or maybe she was afraid of something else, and she didn't know what it was.
Anyway, I just don't want her to misunderstand.
At this moment, Yu could only feel his head buzzing.
But then he overturned his guess.
That woman has never been a vulgar person, and she will not compromise for hundreds of cows like others.
But why did she not tell her when she came, and went away secretly.
Yu felt a little sad in his heart, and he didn't know why, his nose was sore and his eyes were hot all of a sudden.
"Captain, do you want to go after him and see, the leader probably hasn't gone far yet."
Yu's heart was moved for a moment, but he didn't know what to think of, then shook his head dejectedly, and then said: "The tribe has regulations, you can't leave your post without authorization."
Biao didn't dare to speak any more, so he had to turn around and go back to the sentry tower, leaving her outside to blow the cold wind.
Yu's heart was heavily stuffed with air, but he didn't move. He stood on the low wall with his messed up heart, letting the cold wind in the dark night slap his face painfully.
At about two o'clock in the middle of the night, people from the next shift came to change shifts.
Yu then dragged his heavy body onto the horse, and ran towards the community with Biao.
But as he walked, Que Yu's horse fell behind by a large margin.
Biao turned his head and asked, "Captain, what's wrong with you?"
"Shut up, leave me alone, go back to sleep quickly."
Biao touched Chi Chi's head, not daring to say another word to him.
When he got to the gate of the singles community, he got off his horse and looked back, only to find that the team leader who had been following him had disappeared. But looking at the position illuminated by the torch, it is in the direction of the administrative center.
At the same time, it was also in the direction of the leader's courtyard.
He smiled and shook his head, feeling that his previous worries were a bit unnecessary.
Yuyuan dismounted from his horse and walked outside the yard.
After hesitating for a while, he took out the sweaty key from his pocket.
But when he was about to insert the keyhole, he finally pulled it out again, holding a torch and preparing to return to the house in the community.
But I don't know the people in the yard, but they haven't fallen asleep yet.
Through the unclosed bedroom door, through the door crack in the yard, I saw the light of the torch pouring in from outside.
…
It wasn't until the next afternoon that Yu was finally willing to wake up, and there was a faint conversation coming from Xiang's room next door, and it sounded like the three Daxue sisters.
The three sisters have always treated her as a family member these years, and Yu has a very close relationship with them, so they went there directly after washing up.
Nowadays, every household has a kitchen, and the single community is the same. Four people are sitting around a small table in the kitchen, cooking wild game caught from nowhere.
Seeing Yu coming in, he waved at her.
"Finally got up, if I don't get up again, I will go and see."
"This soup is specially stewed for you, drink it all."
"I still have to tell the leader to tell you not to work the night shift, it will hurt your health."
When Yu heard this, he quickly shook his head: "I asked for it myself."
"Many people want to do your job, so why do you have to guard it by yourself?"
"Who likes to stay up at night?" Yu lowered his brows and took the small pottery bowl.
"Why not, like that who, he doesn't want to burn bricks, he feels that his strength is not enough, he prefers to be like you, sitting in the sentry tower without moving, just need to pay attention to the people entering and exiting."
"Then is he willing to watch at night?"
"Why don't you want to, anyway, just sit and watch at night, and it's not like you can't sleep during the day."
"You can't say that I will go to the leader and tell her that she loves you so much, so she will definitely agree."
"She—forget it."
Seeing her appearance, Daxue asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"No..." Yu shook his head, blew on the clay bowl in his hand, and sipped the soup.
Xiang at the side seemed to see what his niece was thinking, and asked, "Have you heard the rumors in the tribe?"
The movements in Yu's hands paused for a moment, but he didn't speak.
Erxue reached out and touched her head and said, "Others say it's the same thing. You've been with the leader for so long, and you still don't know who she is. How could she trade you for those hundreds of cows?"
As he spoke, he repeated to her what Sang Yu said at the meeting yesterday.
When Yu heard this, her expression didn't change much, and she said calmly, "I never thought she would do such a thing."
"Then why are you so unhappy?"
"I have no idea."
Seeing her like this, Daxue hated iron for being weak, and slapped her on the head.
Yu was patted by Daxue's big hand, thought for a while, and said: "I was on duty last night, and she was going to accompany me, but she left without letting me know."
Daxue was a little confused, and asked: "The leader went to see you, but didn't let you know?"
"Then what were you doing when she went, didn't you see her?"
Yu didn't say anything about traveling to her to confess his love, but just shook his head.
"The leader is so strange, and you, you are also strange."
"You look like you're still complaining about her." Among these few people, Erxue looked relatively innocent.
Xiang looked at her thoughtfully.
Yu couldn't bear the burning eyes of these people, and said slowly: "Yesterday...I heard her tell Qing that she was kind to me because I saved her life."
Daxue glared at her, "You save her, she treats you well, isn't it right?"
Yu didn't speak.
Xiaoxue said: "Don't you don't want her to treat you well because you saved her?"
Erxue: "What are you talking about?"
"Did Xiaoyu's mind get confused by working the night shift?"
Listening to a few aunts discussing the issue just now, Yu always felt that all the secret things in his heart had been shaken out.
She raised her voice and yelled, "Stop-stop-"
Several people looked at her with their eyes in unison.
Yu swallowed, and said: "Let me use an analogy, if my aunt hadn't gone to the back mountain, and hadn't rescued my aunt, second aunt and third aunt, would my aunt, second aunt and third aunt still treat my aunt so well? "
"What is my aunt and your aunt, which one is not your aunt."
Scolding is scolding, but as soon as this question was uttered, the three sisters of Daxue were really confused. They hadn't thought about this question.
On the other hand, Xiangdong looked at the fire, she raised her eyes, and looked at Xiaoxue on the side, but happened to meet the other person's eyes looking over her. The moment their eyes met, the two quickly turned their faces away and sat upright.
It was Daxue who spoke first: "If your aunt hadn't come to Houshan back then, we wouldn't have had the chance to know her, and it would be impossible to treat her well."
Erxue also said: "If we have the chance to meet her and know what kind of person she is, even if she doesn't save us or has no ability to save us. But we are compatible, and we will be willing to treat her well."
"Yeah..."
Going around, these opinions seem to be useful, but they don't seem to be useful.
Daxue was a little anxious, "What's wrong with you kid, why are you bothering about these things, everyone knows how good the leader is to you, and you still have to worry about why she treats you well.
Anyway, no matter what happened before. Whether she saved you or you saved her, it's a thing of the past. Now, she treats you better than our aunts treat you. "
This may sound rough, but it is true.
Yuzuan was on the tip of his horns, and didn't quite agree with Daxue's words.
What she desires more is the purest care from a woman.
She opened her mouth, "I'm just... just..."
It's been a long time, but I can't say a complete sentence.
Xiaoxue suddenly asked: "How old is the leader this year?"
Yu thought for a while and said, "She seems to be ten or eleven years older than me."
Xiaoxue looked in Xiang's direction again, but the other party didn't look at her, so she could only mutter to herself: "It's the same age as your Aunt Xiang."
Daxue couldn't see that these people couldn't come up with anything for a long time, so he directly made a concluding speech, saying:
"Xiao Yu, don't think about it. It is impossible for the leader to trade you for a cow. But she went to the checkpoint last night but refused to come out to see you. It must be something that you did not do well to make her unhappy. After drinking the soup, Just go and apologize to her, and she will continue to love you in the future."
"Eldest sister, why do I think that Yu's appearance is so similar to the time when my wife and I just happened to have sex."
Da Xue glared at her: "What are you thinking, Xiao Yu is a woman, the leader is a woman, and she is so much older than her, when have you ever seen two women together?"
It was impossible for Erxue to be stared at by her elder sister like this, so she immediately died down.
Daxue said: "Second sister, I didn't mean you. Now that the leader is in charge, we women have a better life, so you have to take good care of your guy, don't let him ride on our women's heads. If you really can't, find another one." Well, the women of the Phoenix Tribe are never afraid of finding a good man. When these men leave, they are like rotten vegetables. It is written with your name, and you have to show the majesty of the head of the family."
Erxue nodded quickly to be taught.
"And third sister, I don't want to worry about your affairs. Anyway, the leader is still single now. If she remains single, I don't care about whether you marry or not, lest you keep talking about me—
Yes, call me pedantic, but if the leader wants to find a man someday, you have to find me one too. "
"Eldest sister—" Xiaoxue shouted a little unconvinced.
However, Xiang who was at the side secretly pulled the hem of his clothes.
Xiaoxue turned her mind to one side in an instant, took advantage of the table to block her, and grabbed her hand, ignoring the other's slight struggle, inserted/inserted between her fingers, and clasped her fingers tightly together.
On the desktop, heavy snow is still talking.
Yu couldn't stand it anymore, shook his head, and accidentally knocked the chopsticks on the table to the ground.
But when she bent down, she seemed to see the hands of her aunt and third aunt were still holding each other for a moment, but they quickly separated in the next second.
She rubbed her eyes, her heart beat suddenly, and she picked up the chopsticks slowly.
The incense on the side said: "The ground is stained with dust, and I still don't wash it."
Yu raised her head, met Shang Xiang's expressionless eyes, she let out a oh, got up and went to the water tank.
But she didn't know that as soon as she turned around, Xiang stepped on Xiaoxue's foot under the table, as if to warn her hands and feet.
Daxue looked at Yu's back, and said gratifiedly, "Fortunately, this child is not disabled. This head is about to catch up with me. Only Xiaoxue, who didn't eat enough when he was a child, is a bit shorter."
Xiang echoed, "Thanks to the leader's kindness to her, the past few years have been filled with eggs and milk every day."
Daxue: "You said it would be great if the leader was a man, and we'll just marry Xiaoyu to her."
Erxue was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, what are you talking nonsense about?"
Daxue: "Did I say something wrong? The leader has a high status, so no one should listen to her. She is very good-looking. I have met so many people, but I have never seen her as good-looking. She is matched with our Xiaoyu. But it's enough, and this time it won't be everyone's turn to get involved."
"Something from the Canglin tribe dares to come and ask us to marry Xiaoyu. I think their young leader looks like a dog, and he is not worthy of carrying our Xiaoyu's shoes."
Daxue's words immediately put the young talent Junyou down to the ground.
Erxue: "Sister, You Naren looks pretty good, even his tribe, as well as those tribes outside, how good can it be, maybe the family has married him several wives, marrying anywhere is better than staying in the Phoenix tribe Well, even if you don't get married, being single is better than being outside."
Xiaoxue: "Second Sister speaks well."
When Daxue heard the words, he gave her a slap in the face: "Do you have a place to speak here?"
After reprimanding my younger sister, thinking about what happened in the meeting yesterday, I became angry again.
"That Qing, the cows in the farm are more sensible than him. What's the matter with him? He looks out to outsiders and expects Xiaoyu to marry so much. Don't play with him in the future. This kind of person has two faces. When did he get caught? He didn't even know it was sold."
When Yu heard Qing's name, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.
"There are still horns, don't let the old lady catch his pigtails. Otherwise, I will rub him on the ground. Who is this? It's the leader who is kind-hearted, so he takes them seriously. They really think they are How amazing."
"Eldest sister, you have to pay attention to these people. I'm afraid these people are still thinking about letting a man be in charge." Xiang reminded.
When Daxue heard it, he scolded coldly: "What a dog, you still think about those things, no, I'm going to talk to the leader."
Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her: "Auntie, what's the use of talking to her, you didn't catch him for anything, tell the leader, the leader can't do anything about him, maybe it's even more annoying."
"You might as well help her keep an eye on these individuals. If they have any troubles in the future, just catch them and the leader will directly convict them."
Daxue thought for a while and nodded and said: "Well, yes, the leader is a busy person, I can't bother her with everything—you girl, you still complained about the leader, and you don't know where your heart is at the moment went."
Yu smiled awkwardly, stood up and said, "I'm full, I'm leaving."
"Then remember to talk to the leader to see if she has misunderstood you. If there is any misunderstanding, quickly resolve it."
"knew…"
Yu walked, but couldn't help but glanced under the table twice.
But I saw my aunt sitting upright, with her two slender hands crossed on her knees, her face was indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
