Chapter 103: Qualification for Survival (3)
A ferocious behemoth lowered its head and glanced at the little mice moving around it during the nap. Even an understatement was enough to scare the tiny mouse out of a stress response.
What kind of experience is it like being in an absolutely disadvantaged and precarious state?
Xiao Yun hadn't experienced it before, he had only learned it in modern history, and had seen it in contemporary news.
Now... Xiao Yun experienced it after crossing.
Chills, goose bumps, these physiological reactions are beyond control, emotionally, Xiao Yun's reason can still control the overall situation... this is not an unimaginable situation, it can even be said to be only expected and reasonable. The so-called "I have never eaten pork" and have seen pigs run, the Galaxy incident in the 1990s, the Taiwan Strait crisis, the Yugoslav embassy incident, the Wang Wei incident, which one is not a powerful country riding on top of a weak country, pulling SHI and urinating and disgusting you. The human toilet is not clean enough? If it weren't for the little brother in the oil-producing areas to be obedient and infertile, maybe the proxy war would have started in the Far East of the Asian continent...
Xiao Yun was a junior high school student at that time, and his home computer was occupied by his elder sister. He wanted to play games. Only the little bully has a lot of fun, and that's it, he didn't less listen to his old sister mentioning the possibility of a war. Before 911, the cloud of war had not been removed from the heads of the Chinese, and this was still the elder's back. The grandson dressed in a tortoise shell pretends that some people are angry and point to his old man's nose to curse. (Before the 911 in USA, there was a hearsay about USA wanna a war in China, that was a big crisis in China.When a world hegemon wants to occupy a country's resources and bully a country, he will find an excuse to let his allies fight against this target country, and then he will attack with troops...)
Therefore, after Xiao Yun slowly figured out the situation around the grassland, he was mentally prepared. Between the strong and the weak, compassion or elimination, support or suppression, the initiative is never in the hands of the weak; the weak what we do is to extend the peace period as much as possible, seize all opportunities for development and progress, and strive to hold more bargaining chips before the outbreak of irreconcilable conflicts.
Otherwise, did he eat too much to tried to flatter the elves...?
To let Carlisle be a disciple, Xiao Yun is making arrangements for the back road to lead his tribe to the southern continent in case of failure. Preserving the talents of the tribe is the most important, and saving people's land is not the most unacceptable consequence, so he has worked so hard to advise Carlisle and help his Royal Highness to build a team...
In a word, he is not cheap enough to use his own interests to supplement others, and his "teaching affection" for Prince Carlisle is not so heavy and pure. The degree of interest involved...
Prince Carlisle spent more than two months with him! It is impossible for him to be interested in human males, not all to find a way out of the ethnic group!
Pinching his thighs to hold back the irrational thoughts that popped up in his heart, Xiao Yun tried hard to think about the way to deal with it, and the choice of death when he was refreshed would not appear in the options of the pragmatics. He wanted to let the people live. To strive for development space for the tribe with choices, which is countless times more important than the so-called face.
"The patrolling team, don't leave the tribe too far for now. I will not intervene in the patrols in the future. Maomao will arrange it by yourself. Before confirming that similar crises will not occur again, fighters like Ayan will stay in the engineering team to work. Xiao Yun sighed and turned to look at Yu, "Maomao, what do you think?"
"What about...transportation?"
"There is still a month, don't think so far." Xiao Yunpu He lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, "Maomao, what do you think of this incident, you also think it's weird for Demon Realm creatures to appear in the grassland, right, then what do you think."
Yu was silent for a long time this time Xiao Yun also waited patiently for a long time. "Ayun, we only deal with tauren and cat clan...other than the human fleet and...elf clan." Yu said with some difficulty, "I...I'm wondering if we have somewher provoke the elves?"
Xiao Yun glanced at him appreciatively. Although a little indecisive, Yu's intelligence is not a problem: "It is possible, then which side do you think is the elves? Snow elves or forest elves? "
"The Snow Elf came more than three months ago, and the two soldiers of the Forest Elf left only ten days ago." Yu smiled bitterly.
"Yeah... The snow elves do things simply and neatly. If you really have any thoughts about us, or want to test the strength of our soldiers, then it should have been shot long ago." Xiao Yun sighed, his eyes darkened, "The conclusion is obvious. It's the black stone placed on the white stone, and the blind can't see the truth..."
Yu hesitated to speak, but Xiao Yun waited for a long time, but he hesitated and didn't say anything. Xiao Yun simply said to himself: "You Do you want to say that it is not safe for the transportation team to go to the Elf Wharf?"
Yu nodded.
Xiao Yun smiled, his smile a little bleak: "Theoretically, it is said, but... Since the other party is'willing' to hide from us, it means that the person who does it is still unwilling to make the matter clear. So, we can only pretend that we don't know, even if we vaguely guess what's going on, we must pretend that we don't know, the trade is trade, the transportation is transport, and at least the superficial peace will be passed on. Until the day I can't go on."
Yu opened his mouth wide in surprise, and looked at Xiao Yun in disbelief.
"Maomao, the right to survive has always belonged to the strong, just like we eat wild boars instead of wild boars eating us, just like dark elves enslaving goblins and gray dwarves, tiger tribes enslaving cat tribes, centaurs... don't wild boars want to survive? Goblin gray Does the dwarf centaur do not want to be free? But the enemy is too strong, what can we do?"
Xiao Yun smiled again: "You feel angry and incomprehensible. In fact, I am too. We did not provoke the elves at all, on the contrary. Every time an elves come, we eat and drink and entertain. Why do they still attack us like this to hurt our people?"
"To put it bluntly, our snow werewolf tribe, our tribe on the grassland, have no ability to resist. No matter which sort of the elves, we can't understand us anymore. We just wave our hands and we have to get out. So it's meaningless to provoke or not provoke. Our thoughts and our feelings are not important to the elves."
"I--I don't want to accept this kind of treatment." Yu's face flushed blood red, his facial features were distorted as if he wanted to vent and roared out, and he was desperately suppressing it.
"I don't want too. Our feelings are the same." Xiao Yun said indifferently. "If we want not to be eaten, we want to live freely, we can only do everything we can and seize all the time to become strong, in four years' time. We have gone from a few dozen people to hundreds of people now. This is the process of becoming stronger. None of us is willing to accept grievances, but in order to have more peaceful times to become stronger, we must accept grievances."
"Especially... us, Maomao." Xiao Yun looked straight into Yu's eyes, earnestly, "Those who have the ability to lead others are more responsible and more obligated to face anything that no one wants to accept. We, you and me, Hongye, Caogen Patriarch, and others, we are not qualified to be self-willed—especially when our tribe is still so weak."
Yu stared at Xiao Yun for a long time, so that he could barely breathe. The angry anger gradually deflated, his shoulders collapsed, and he bit his lower lip. In the end, he could only hang his head.
Xiao Yun let out a sigh of relief, and continued: "Crossing this psychological threshold, let's examine this incident again...Maomao, you did not smell strangers at the scene, nor did you find strangers. The person who shoots doesn't want you to know who 'he' is, and has no plan to kill you all...If it's the latter, then the other party doesn't need to hide."
Yu nodded boredly. "Since the goal is not to kill our warriors, what is the other party's intention to attack? Or, what behavior do we have to make the forest elves feel jealous of us? Compared with last year's harmonious period. What's the difference of our tribe?"
"Thinking about this, there are only a lot of people in our tribe, and the population has skyrocketed from over a hundred to over 700. I think about it, it seems that there is only this reason." Xiao Yun's eyes Slightly squinted, "When Sergeant Selena of the Snow Elf and others came to the tribe, I tried my best to convey to Sergeant Selena the desire of our steppe tribe to develop peacefully. The calm reaction of the elves shows that such a development route can win the approval of the snow elves, even if they don't support them, they won't oppose it."
"When Halen and Karl came to visit, I also clearly expressed our grassland tribe's expectation for peaceful development. Karl, let's not forget. Halen is a person we know better. I believe he should be able to convey our tribe's intentions to Ananas city ...Then why is it still inviting temptation? I think about only Halen and karl, the two elven warriors, are not enough to be trusted by the upper level in terms of identity and status."
"Go back to the original point, the other side The intention of the second shot, this point, I'm just guessing for the time being, and there is no real basis. Although we are not conscious of the snow werewolf clan, in the eyes of outsiders, the existence of the lost "inheritance" of the snow werewolf clan is a threat in itself."
Xiao Yun said that this piece was a little bit gritted. He actually didn't pay much attention to the so-called lost inheritance. In his opinion, only Wenqing who had eaten too much and had nothing to do would not forget the "lost" love; Xuelang clan What about the inheritance that can cultivate the first strong army in the mainland? The point of the problem is that the inheritance has been lost. If you can get the lost inheritance back every day, he will specify that he will be more pious than anyone else!
It is the virtue of the snow werewolf tribe not to take care of things that are not rewarded! Anyway, Xiao Yun in the tribe never heard anyone talk about it, he still knew this stuff from outsiders! With this in mind, it is not difficult for Xiao Yun to understand why a forest elf great magician would come to toss their warriors. Sixty elite soldiers of the snow werewolf tribe who had no inheritance advanced all the way to the Ice City of Elves King. At this moment, they have attracted hundreds of snow werewolves to live together. If they still have inheritance in their hands, can the forest elves who live next door be at ease?
Although Xiao Yun gathered not only the Snow Wolf tribe, but also cat tribe gray dwarf goblins, and shouted the slogan of the unity of the grassland people, can such political slogans really fool the forest elves? The family life race is not stupid.
The forest elves just sneaked up to try and took a few soldiers back to torture them. Xiao Yun was grateful that the lower limit of the forest elves was higher... If it change to human, this is absolutely a messy thing can be done by human.
"Inheritance..." Yu couldn't help smiling bitterly. "When I was a cub, I heard the elders of the clan mention that his father's father was very powerful, but that was a long time ago. So the forest elves suspected that we had found the inheritance. They came to harm us for this?"
"Maomao, you and I will keep this in my heart. Later, I will also ventilate Hongye." Xiao Yun sighed again, "The right to live belongs to the strong. Before we are strong enough, all patience is valuable...We have not taken back the inheritance, we are very weak and small. At this stage, showing weakness is our way of survival. "
Yu's facial features are almost screwed together, holding hands. Looking down on his knees, he nodded uncomfortably as a default.
"It doesn't have to be uncomfortable, or just the same sentence, why did the other party sneak over and try in hiding? Our grassland tribe is not as large as an elf village, so why does such a powerful forest elf great mage need to hide its head and show its tail?" Xiao Yun Stretched his arms over Yu's shoulders, "Obviously, this temptation behavior was private, or only publicly in a small area. It was not accepted by all the Ananas elves. It is very likely that it was just an individual's will. ——A large tribe of tens of thousands of people, and a city of elves of thousands of people, is it not allowed to have a particularly racist person who looks down on other races? There is a spotted leopard Xia in the cat race!"
The previous words Yu listened silently, this last metaphor almost made Yu dumbfounded, and stared at Xiao Yun awkwardly.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't give you Qingyan and Rosemary when assigning cat clan to you, but give Xia to you, do you want him in your team?"
Yu tangled up: "Uh..."
"That's it." Xiao Yun A pair of pats on the shoulders like our heroes have seen.
"..." Yu was speechless.
"Hey, why are you still here?" Hongye took care of the wounded for a long time, and when he came out of the activity room to see Xiao Yun and Yu squatting in the corner next to her, she was shocked.
"I asked Maomao about the process of today's accident." Xiao Yun turned his face and said.
"Hmm..." Hongye showed a tangled expression that hesitated to speak, and looked at Yu and Xiao Yun.
"Come here, come and sit down, you also listen to our analysis." Xiao Yun beckoned.
Ten minutes later, Hongye sitting side by side in the corner showed a bad expression, with a look of reluctance, but she couldn't say anything to doubt.
Xiao Yun spoke dryly. He took out the water bottle in his pocket and pulled out the cork. He poured out half of the bottle to cool and boiled. He belched, "This is the situation, and the response can only be this way. ...Weakness is the original sin, and the weak are not qualified to talk about the right to survive and the qualifications to survive, so even if we know what the situation is, we can't show it on the surface, and we can't get angry or angry. If we lose our teeth, we must go into our stomachs with blood. Swallow, smile on his face, and maintain the illusion of harmony, friendship, and equal trade between the two sides."
"Is it very frustrated? Of course frustrated! I just wish I could think of a way to ask Kleister and the Queen of Elves. Ask them whether they take our trading partner seriously and ask them to punish the bastard who hurt Ashu and Mumu——"
Xiao Yun paused and laughed at himself: "But doing so is just It's not enough to take the shame... to the point where it is more important to ask others about yourself compared to who, who and who, which in itself puts oneself in the position of being priced, self-conceited and shameless. What's more, we don't have a position and capital to do this yet."
Yu, who silent a long time, moved a bit, and said in a low voice: "This is really bad, Ayun...this kind of feeling is so uncomfortable."
"Nobody is comfortable." Xiao Yun nodded, got up and walked away. In the first few steps, he threw the water bottle severely, and the bottle made a parabola and fell not far in front. Amidst the sound of cracking, glass shards spread all over the floor.
Xiao Yun turned to look at the two fighters, his facial features also distorted: "We have to be strong, Maomao, Hongye, have to be strong enough to no longer to worry about others dare to sound out us !"
"Yeah!" Hongye got up and slapped Xiao Yun's chest with a slap.
Yu also stood up and hugged Xiao Yun's shoulders and shook.
Xiao Yun will not accuse the forest elves of hypocrisy, because hypocrisy is the default unspoken rule of adult communication.
All people, no, all intelligent race individuals will have more than three faces at the same time. For example, Don't Xiao Yun used it as a political slogan propaganda show for Thrall and the goblins. Does he really think from the bottom of his heart that the races living on the grassland should coexist peacefully and everyone is equal? Nonexistent.
The equality recognized by Xiao Yun is only based on labor. There is labor and can contribute to the collective. Here in Xiao Yun, there is equality. If you are not arrogant and disobey the collective, then there is only in Xiao Yun. Equality in the slogan... For example, the marginalized cat clan patriarch, panther Xia.
He is not completely fair, Xiao Yun naturally does not hate that the forest elves treat the snow werewolf tribe unequally... He is not in a peaceful space enough to have time to play a political show on the earth, so he doesn't use his brains in this place, his will game over.
But this thing also gave Xiao Yun a vigilance. He knew that no matter how good his kneeling posture was, he couldn't keep others from thinking about you. He confidently thought he could handle the snow elves, and even the familiar forest elves would not. There is a problem-if he has a clearer mind, think of a way to let Halen and Karl get a more powerful and powerful person in Ananas City to "inspect", instead of letting Helen boldly "transmit" to him, Then perhaps there would be no such thing as Ashu and Mumu suffered serious injuries.
Asking two ordinary warriors to influence the thoughts of the top leaders of the Ananas Elf, did Xiao Yun's brain be gnawed by Balker or caught by the door to be so crazy? !
Therefore, Xiao Yun resisted the attitude of not showing the anger-motivated feather, because according to the cause of the matter, if he had the leisure to do a useless act of anger-motivated, he would have to turn his anger to himself first...
Comfort both Yu and Hongye staying, turning to other hand, Xiao Yun continued to grasp the progress of spring planting in the tribe as if nothing was wrong, and in his heart, a seed called "ambition", which could also be called "ideal", was quietly planted.
As a small rich, although he will try to climb up for money during work, he makes money only to make his small life more comfortable and wealth more free. Xiao Yun's attitude towards life has not changed much, forcing the plush. The velvets work because there is no ready-made enjoyment in this broken place. He must first lay the foundation for enjoyment; the most obvious point is that he shouts for the unity of the prairie people, the community with a shared future for the prairie people, and the prairie people's self-reliance and development. Rich and strong, but never considered the tiger clan from the east, the forest elves of Xigang, the elf king and the mistress of the dark elves, to achieve the goal of dominating the king and hegemony-to develop the southwestern border and pull out the snow wolf clan who are willing to come over. Come here, farming is enough, he doesn't want to be the overlord.
However, the cruel reality gave Xiao Yun a head...His posture of flattering the forest elves is not improper, and even in business, he has to consider whether there is any profit for other people to change hands and become a second-door dealer. What is the result? I don't know which high-level person rushed to see if they had recovered the inheritance. There were two more blood holes in Ashu and Mumu.
The clans that he values is not as good as a rag in the eyes of others. Xiao Yun comforted Yu and Hongye on his surface, but turned into his heart, the fire was getting more and more prosperous.
Incompetent rage is meaningless, but it is not without value. At this moment, the irritation and unwillingness in his heart have all turned into nutrients for the growth of the newly sown seed deep in his heart. The process of transforming from being a pragmatic person to an idealist from a small rich and an ideal home will be painful and difficult, but for a person who has grown into super patience from childhood to adulthood, the three thousand roads in front of him can lead to Rome. It just depends on which way his feet are on!
Xiao Yun is confident about this. Anyway, he has to take this road regardless of whether he is confident or not, so he can't do it all day long, afraid that the sky will cross down and crush himself to death. It is better to calm down and accumulate strength to let him. The strength that slowly grows becomes one's own confidence.
In four years, the tribe completed its first population leap. The senior leaders of Ananas City had doubts and did not choose to come and slap in the face. Instead, they resorted to secret probing methods. This was at least a kind of recognition, and it was a staggering way of the snow werewolf tribe. The recognition of the first step...People did not turn their faces, at least it shows that the snow werewolf clan still has the value of leaving room for people. If there is no value at all, then Xiao Yun can directly call the clan people to run away. The clan went overseas to work as a small laborer for Prince Carlisle's revolutionary cause.
