I handed him the block. "Do as I do," I said.
Li Ding took the block of wood and walked away with a bit of doubt. When he came back after making ten grinding tools, I had prepared the firewood. First, I put the mold beside the fire to dry, and then put it into the fire to burn.
The next morning, li Ding saw a pottery grinding tool, suddenly understood. Give it away and let people make bricks with abrasive tools.
With the brick work done, I went to talk to Cheng and asked him to build the little house first so that everyone could have a place to live. If this had not been settled with him in advance, he would surely have built a tribal council hall or a large house for the chief.
I was about to leave, and the chief's house was the least anxious building.
Cui Bin and Old Cheng appeared at the right time. Without them, I could not leave so many aborigines and go to another world to find Li Wanxue.
After all the arrangements, I went to the bamboo forest to cut a strong bamboo, cut a piece of bamboo and took it back to the basement. When all the others were asleep, by the dim light of an oil-lamp, he carved on it a hundred words with thin pieces of stone.
"I went to the other world to look for Li Wanxue and will come back as soon as possible. None of you go to me, and focus on building the tribe. By the time I bring her back, the tribe will be a new one. We helped the Treehouse tribe recover their families and people from the larger tribe, and we were able to live here for a long time."
After carving, I read it through myself, confirm completely can identify, quietly out of the basement, ran to zhang Yutong sleeping house door, silent road sound, hurried to the cliff edge, put the bamboo board in there, down the rattan ladder, directly to the river. Take a conjoined canoe apart and head to Waterfall Mountain alone.
A canoe, alone, drifting on the sea in the middle of the night, the wind and the waves whistling all the time beside me, and the light moonlight making the whole world seem gray. A strong sense of loneliness crept in.
I kept close to the shore in case anything happened on the way. By daylight, I had made it to the river landing on the other side. The all-night voyage was extremely tiring. I made it to The top of Waterfall Hill, reached the bottom of the sinkhole at noon, entered the house and lay down.
In a daze, I heard something outside. Before I could get up, the door was flung open. The fleshy man with his bloody face and rotting flesh rushed in with his women, whimpering and screaming for my life.
I was in a hurry to grab the gun back, but before I could, they came up and gnawing on me.
"Ah... ." I yelled, struggling to sit up.
"Brother Lu Fei, what's wrong with you?"
I panted to look at one eye, orange light is still, Zhang Yutong and Cui Bin they appeared in the room. Knowing that it was just a bad dream reassured me.
He wiped the sweat from his face and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"You're telling me." Zhang Yutong is not happy but pleased: "actually a person ran silently, you a person run to that world, can you save yutong sister to come back?"
I knew they'd come looking for me, but I didn't think it would be this soon.
At that moment, several others followed. There are two aborigines led by Li Ding and Wu Wa.
"Lu Fei, you've gone a bit too far this time. He ran away without consulting us." Cui Bin sat down in the bed and scolded: "We are a whole now. Your business is our business. How could you slip away alone? If something happened to you, what would happen to our tribe?"
"Yes, brother Fei. Go to find wan Xue elder sister, how also must count me one." Li Ding said.
I nodded and called them outside together. After we sat down on the old sofa, I persuaded them to go back with a good explanation.
I just finished, Zhang Yutong stubborn statement: "I don't care, you go where I go, you can not leave me."
I patiently explained: "I just go this time to inquire about the situation, she exactly how, now do not know. I will come back as soon as possible. When I know the situation there, I need your help. I will come back and ask you to come with me to rescue Li Wanxue."
"I'll follow you anyway." Zhang Yutong said and turned away.
"Lu Fei." Cui Bin said, "Why don't we go with you? If you go alone, how many things can you take? Food, especially weapons. It's easy to get into trouble when you go alone."
When he said this, I put my cards on the table. "I thank you for your kindness, but it's dangerous out there, you know. If you all go, I can't guarantee that many of you will make it back alive. I can't risk your lives just to get her back."
"Don't say that." Cui bin said, "We have agreed that either we go together or you go back with us. You will never be allowed to go alone."
Li Ding and Zhang Yutong they several quickly nodded.
They're all catching up. They're serious. Even in the face of danger, they are willing to go together, let me moved, but also feel guilty.
After a long time, seeing that I did not give an answer, Wa came up and said: "Chief, you take us to go, you saved our tribe, we also go to help you get your woman back. Then you will lead us to defeat the horde and save our people."
"Fly elder brother, you want not to speak, we when you are default." Li Ding warned.
I knew I couldn't turn them. I nodded.
"That's right." Cui Bin laughed: "you don't have to worry about the tribe, uncle Cheng stayed, he will take care of the people left."
I looked at a few people who came after me, two aborigine, one of them is Zhe jiao, the other one I know, but I do not know the name.
"Well, Li Ding and Wu Wa, you two go back. The other four will come with me to that world."
Although Li Ding's courage is fatter than before, but after all, there is still some small, with him I am afraid it has become a burden. As for Uwa, I am worried that something will happen to her. If she dies, it will be a great blow to the treehouse tribe.
"If they can go, why shouldn't I?" Li Ding reacted violently and said, "Brother Fei, I don't care, I will definitely go. All of them supported me."
"Yes, and SO will the chief."
"It's not that I won't take you two with me," I explained. "It's that you two are of great use in the tribe. U Wa you used to be the leader of the tribe, you stay to help Cheng Shu can do a lot of things, we have gone, cheng Shu also can't speak your language, how can he take care of all the people in the tribe?"
"Then sister Uwa don't go, I will follow." "Said Li Ding.
"If you go, what will happen to Iori? He still needs your care." That's all I can say about him.
Li Ding tangled up. Cui Bin probably read my mind and persuaded the two of them to go back. It was enough for the rest of us to form a team.
Then Zhang Yutong also participated in persuasion, two people this just changed his mind.
I told Li Ding a time, then let them return to the tribe in time to go. After seeing them both off, we went to the pond and caught a couple of fish and went back to the house to cook dinner.
It was enough for Zhang yutong to cook, so the four of us sat down on the broken sofa outside.
Cui bin suggested, "Lu Fei, you planned to go alone before, so you don't need to think about preparation. There are five of us now, and we must be careful."
I nodded. "First, the weapons. That's the most important. We can get two men to carry the weapons. As for food, here's what I think: catch some fish for marinate, bring some tacos. A three-day supply of dry food should do the job. Carry a few sacks of corn and some guns, and hide them separately in case we need them badly."
"I think so. We'll all have a good night's rest tonight, and at first light tomorrow we'll start preparing to get to the other side as soon as possible." Cui Bin agreed.
