Chapter 157 It's hard to tell what's true

Zhang Yutong pulled the curtain and said, "Brother Lu Fei, from now on I will pull the linen cloth by day and the hide cloth by night. Am I very clever?"

I held up my thumb in real admiration for their train of thought. Come so already can keep out window, also can appear beautiful western style.

"Chief." Wu Wa hurried in.

"What's the matter?

"Come with me, Nanova lied to us..." Wu Wa angrily said.

"Cheated us, what cheated us?" I'm all at sea.

"You'll understand when you come with me." Wu Wa urged him eagerly.

Wu Wa took us to a corral, then you have a group of people in the onlookers, noisy noisy more than.

"Chief." Muka ran over and pointed to the inside of the pen. "All the animals nanova sent us are male animals. They can't reproduce. We eat them up, and then we don't have them anymore."

"You checked it?" I was surprised, one at the fact, and two at how the couple found out about it.

Muka nodded. "It's goat breeding season, so we came to check. We didn't expect this. We must go and punish him, chief."

"It's not a big deal," I said. "We also have wild pigs and goats and rabbits on the island. Why don't you go and catch a few females and solve the problem?"

"What about the long-necked beast? "They can not only ride, they can also pull things," muka said. We can't live without them."

"The long-necked will not die soon, much less be killed." "Let's do what I say," I said. "Our tribe is not built yet. It's not a good time to attack Nanova."

They answered both words.

On the way back, Zhang yutong complained: "Brother Lu Fei, that Nanova is so crafty that he even thought of such an idea."

"We use each other, and when there are no mutual interests, of course there will be." I said, "Wait. When our tribe is finished, I'll take care of that guy."

Zhang Yutong nodded: "so good point, we first put their nest to do well, save always become homeless people."

Back at home, we began the last piece of housing construction. Make furniture. With the help of the two of them and Li Ding, we first made the skeleton of a wardrobe and several stools out of wood, and then wound them with vines. It didn't take much effort to finish these tasks.

The next day we plastered the exception wall all over again. Zhang Yutong and Luci two also naughty to pick a lot of flowers, respectively mashed after extrusion juice, stirring in lime, graffiti on the wall.

After they finished building their own home, the two of them went to help others with housing construction. I took some of my men, and went to the edge of the plateau, and cut a trench along the edge of the plateau, to build a wall afterwards. If a wall is built flat, it will easily collapse.

After a week or so of busy work, a large group of people inadvertently appeared in the woods below. Like a herd of running goats.

"Everybody stop." I called out, "Go back and tell the others to bring the guns."

After several people left, I beckon the others to join the cat in the ravine, staring down. When they reached the bottom of the plateau, brass claws flew up, some slipped, some stuck firmly on roots.

I made the first move, climbing behind a tree that had caught the brass claw. After waiting for about a minute, he swung an axe and cut the rope off.

"Ah..."

A few screams and a crash came up from below.

"Is there anyone up there?"

With everyone around me looking at me, I made a gesture of hissing. Soon some brass clawed hands were thrown up again.

Two accidents in a row, let the people below dare not act blindly again.

"Are you up there, big brother? It's me, Nanova."

I picked up the two brass claws next to me and threw them to the people next to me before I got up and walked out.

"Big brother, it's you." Nanova shouted excitedly.

There were three or four hundred of them in rags, many of them dusty and stained with blood. Some carried spears, some bows and arrows. None of the twenty guns left for him turned up.

"Why are you entering my tribe without my permission?" I snapped.

"Big brother." Nanova raised her hands in anguish and said, "The masters rebelled, and I managed to escape."

"Really?" I'm a little skeptical. Last time his cousin came over, he made two demands, and I didn't say yes to either of them. For who knows whether he hath not wrought treachery against us?

"We are all so, can't you see eldest brother?" Nanova said sadly, "Big brother, please let us go up."

At this time, our tribesmen also came. Line up on the edge of the plateau.

"Big brother, don't even you want to accept me?" Nanova said bitterly: "I have no place to go in Nanova. We are sworn brothers."

"Lu Fei, you can't let them all come up." Lucie came over to me and suggested, "There are too many of them. If something goes wrong, it won't do us any good."

"I know." I wouldn't allow them all to go to the heights, if nothing else, because we couldn't afford to feed three or four hundred of them every day.

When Nanova saw that I kept getting no answer, she called a few more times. I had a rope ladder thrown down.

"Come up with a few of your cronies, and the rest will camp below."

"The grand masters will probably send someone after them, chief. Please let us all go up." Nanova's cousin stepped out.

"Five at most, not one more." I solemnly declare.

Nanova did not give up. She took everyone to her knees and begged.

Lao Cheng walked up to me and said, "Lu Fei, it doesn't look like they're lying. Let them all come up."

"Uncle Cheng, I can't listen to you on this matter. The survival of the tribe is at stake." Lao Cheng nodded and walked away.

In the face of all the wailing and begging, I could only tell the truth: "Brother, it's not that I won't let you come up. It's just that there are too many people up here. Our food and housing are limited. You must be wronged."

"There is no need to eat your grain, chief. We have brought some of our own. And we won't stay long." "We came here to ask the chief to help us put down the rebellion," cousin Nanova said.

This struck me as shocking. Since they were fugitives, where would they have time to carry rations for three or four hundred people?

"Only five men will come up. If you don't obey me, leave Cuckoo Island."

Nanova turned his head and conferred with his cousin, then agreed to my request.

Nanova took his cousin and three very strong natives. When the five of them came up one after another, I took out my pistol and shot him at the foot. He jumped up in horror and hurried back into the crowd.

As soon as Nanova came up, she grabbed my hand and wailed: "Brother, please help me. Take people to help me put down the rebellion. I became your Majesty again. I am willing to give you anything your eldest brother wants."

"Hold your horses and tell me what's going on." I calmed him down and pulled him down.

Nanova nodded and quickly collected herself. Tell me the grand masters have been disobedient to him, and are secretly saving up for rebellion. Six days ago, it was the Queen's birthday, and he gave her a great celebration.

The grand masters thought he had drunk too much, and the palace was unguarded, so they suddenly attacked him in the middle of the night. But Nanova's cousin organized a resistance just in time. Nanova, unable to use his guns, had his men escape through the back door with the grain stored in the palace, and came to The island of Bukuk to seek my help.

"Why can't guns be used?" I asked deliberately.

"I don't know," nanova said blankly. "Didn't you send me a letter from Zombo saying that the bullets should be bathed in water, exposed to the sun, and carefully hidden? But when I took them out and tried them again, they were all gone."

"Come on, we all have to be able to use it."

"You must have missed the details." Zhang Yutong said.

"Maybe so." Nanova was downcast. "If the bullets hadn't gone wrong, I could have suppressed the mutiny."

I continued, "What do you think the chances are that they will come after you?"

Nanova said uncertainly, "They have seen what you can do, so they should not dare to come. But if not, they know brother you will help me reclaim my throne.
