After he got up, the three women with guns hurried after him, entered the inner room and closed the iron door.
Zhang Yutong and I went outside and saw our people sitting in the open space to have a rest. The novelty had worn off.
As soon as they saw us out, everyone gathered around. Persuade me to take them out of here, return to the surface and rebuild the tribe.
Another world, far more dangerous than here, I also hesitate whether should continue to search for Li Wanxue in the past. Because people over there have guns, and we used to get ourselves killed.
But I still want to get my hands on a gun, and if I have a gun, I can see the world.
"Did you see the weapon that guy had in his hand? I asked in a low voice.
We all nodded and looked puzzled. Why did I ask about something that was so clear?
I continued: "Those weapons, stronger than bows and arrows or spears, could kill a man at a great distance, and it would be useless to run away. That's what I brought you here to find."
"Li Ding told us that the weapon was called a gun." Wu said expansions.
"Yes, with guns, we can easily defeat the big tribes and save your families and people." I said, "In order to get that, we have to stay here for a while. Remember, we must listen to anything the man says before we get the gun."
The aborigines looked at each other and nodded.
"Fly brother, I have a clever plan." Li Ding said next to me.
"What?" I asked casually, not very hopeful.
Li Ding said, "Muscle man won't trust you, but he might trust me. I have a plan in mind, you let me do it, you cooperate with the line."
"Have you been clear?"
Li Ding glanced at all the people, waved her hand, let everyone scattered, has been together, it is not good to be muscle man found.
As a result, no one would go away. After I gave the word, they all left.
Li Ding called me and Zhang Yutong to the corner, squat down behind the whispered said: "we pretend to support the muscle male, by me to propose, let him do our king, and then Yu Tong sister to do some sacrifice..."
"Are you trying to use a honey trap?" He didn't have to finish. I knew it was a ruse.
Li Ding smiled: "Believe me, muscular men are very vain and self-centered. We made him king, and he'll be happy. When the time comes, I will continue to do the villain, let him take the sister of Yu Tong from your side, yu Tong sister can find the opportunity to kill him."
"I won't do it. He's got a gun." Zhang Yutong refused.
Li Ding advised: "Sister Yutong, we can only do this. Sooner or later he will force you to follow him, even if we don't tell him."
"That I resemble wan Xue elder sister that way, suicide good." Zhang Yutong blurted out, as if in the expression of a common thing.
"I don't agree with that either." I said, "Yutong will certainly suffer losses, or even lose her life."
Li Ding scratched his head and realized that his plan was too flawed.
"But I can make him a king." We have to have some representation.
Li Ding had no idea: "Let's do this first, and we'll figure out other ways later."
I expected to pat his shoulder: "hard you."
Li Ding smiled. "I'll just play it by ear." And said to Zhang Yutong: "Yutong sister, that from now on, you pretend to be pregnant, if you are pregnant, muscle men will certainly not be interested in you again."
"Good brother, I knew you would think of me." Zhang Yutong laughed and pinched his face.
Then there was the sound of the iron door opening, and we hurried out and scattered.
Only a woman came out and beckoned us in for dinner.
Once inside, go down the right aisle and enter a large dining room. There were many old wooden tables in it. The muscular men have already eaten, three women with guns are standing around holding them, and there are three new faces, also indigenous women.
On the table there were many China plates, each containing a large piece of fish, and several pieces of fruit beside them.
The muscular man turned around, waved his hand and said, "Eat, let you enjoy yourself first."
"Thanks, big brother." Li Ding smiled and shouted.
The muscular man nodded in satisfaction.
I hastened to bow and thank the rest. Because there were no chopsticks, everyone had to eat the fish. With little seasoning, it's bland.
Soon, Li Ding took her share and ran to the muscle man. The two men whispered something. When they finished eating, the muscle man took him away. The three women with guns continued to spy on us inside the restaurant.
After the meal, they chased us out with their guns in their hands.
When we returned to the clearing, I inspected the surrounding rooms and found that they were still habitable after being cleared out. Let's get everybody working on it.
After a short while, the muscular man ran out and shouted at us.
I quickly let everyone stop, enthusiasm ran past.
"Who told you to do it? The muscle man's face is very ugly: "you all go out to live."
"Brother, you mean over the boulders?"
Muscle man eyes a horizontal: "not there, where else? Now, take your men and leave."
I didn't expect him to chase us away. Without much argument, I apologized and led the group outside.
There were quite a few flat boulders on the mound. I selected a few places and asked everyone to work together to remove the boulders. Let Zhang Yutong lead most of the people to clear a path to the cave house, I led a few strong to the ground to cut trees. It was cool at the bottom of the sinkhole, so we had to simply build some shacks. Plus, it'll fool muscle into thinking we plan on staying here forever.
After all this, it was almost dark. Li Ding finally ran out.
"Fly brother, done." "But he gave us a new assignment," he said cheerfully. "He told us to go back to the tribe and bring the corn and salt. When everything is ready, he will officially become king."
I smiled bitterly. "Have you earned his trust?"
Li Ding nodded: "Almost, but he will not completely believe me, he just regard me as the timid guy before."
"Brother Lu Fei, we can't listen to muscle man." Zhang Yutong objected, "If we bring the grain here, he will really be no different from the king. Instead, we'll catch all the fish in the pond, come back to the surface, take the rope ladder with us, and starve him for a week to see if they survive."
"Useless, yu Tong elder sister." Li Ding said: "I have asked, the fish in the pond can not be caught, there is a dark river, there will always be water from the river into these pools."
"Then do as he says." I said to Li Ding, "You go on pleasing him."
"You can count on that." Li Ding assured nodded: "Right, Brother Fei. Don't bring Iori and Lucie. I'm afraid muscleman will try them both."
"Hey." Zhang Yutong suddenly rejoiced to rise: "we send lu Qian to him, Lu Qian to make honey plan best nevertheless."
"What are you talking about? If we did that, we wouldn't be any different from muscular men."
"Exactly." Li Ding also disagreed: "I told him that they both died. Are you sure?"
"I told her the three of us had been taken by cannibals, not that the two of them were dead." Zhang Yutong said.
"That's all right. I didn't go into much detail and he won't ask any more questions."
"Is there anything else?" I asked.
Li Ding shook her head, "No, that's all. Muscle man wants me to live in it. I'm just gonna head back. Hurry up on your side, too."
I nodded and stood up to watch him go.
It was not too late, so I gathered everyone together, caught some fish, and returned to the ground. It was already dark. Fortunately, there was a faint moonlight to bring some light.
We gathered dry wood, built a fire, and killed one of the goats that had been tied up in the grass. Made a hearty meal of grilled fish and mutton. Then they slept around the fire.
At dawn, we went into the woods to gather strong vines for the convenience and safety of climbing the cliff face of the waterfall.
I lie on a tree, cut the cane, see not far from a big stone behind, there is a human shape in the shaking, looks very tall.
