Chapter 142
Chapter 142
"My lord, do you want to start building the city now? How big a city are you going to build? I have some experience in architecture, please let me participate in the early planning. My lord, you like to put your palace in Where is it? How are you going to name the lake? How about bringing the water from the lake into the city? My lord, you..."
This is too exciting, it seems not very good.
"Um... Noselion, the planning can be done slowly. We won't have time to rebuild the city until next spring. Your main task now is to appease the people you brought, learn our language, and Most importantly, we have no slaves here."
"Of course, this is the Kingdom of God!" When I came in, I saw many short people, but the gods in the mythology are not all so tall and tall, there are also ugly and short ones.
"No, what I mean is, including the slave craftsmen you brought, when they entered my city, they already had the status of free people. We may have different personal abilities here, so everyone's life Conditions are different, but there are no slaves."
"Then how do we deal with prisoners of war and people who can't pay their debts here?" Noselien frowned after he understood, not to mention those natural slaves born because of his parents. The biggest source of slaves is Prisoners of war and civilians who cannot pay their debts.No one will raise their enemies as their own. The poor can only sell their children and even themselves if they want to pay off their debts. Otherwise, should they all be killed?
"They will be forced to do servitude, but they will be paid. They will be able to obtain the status of free people if they pay enough money to sell themselves."
"You are too kind. You can do this when the number of people is small. If there are too many people, especially if there are too many prisoners of war, it will cause turmoil."
"But we have very few prisoners of war here, and most of the free people are voluntary attachments." Bai Rui was quite proud when he said that, but when he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the current situation, and the pride disappeared immediately.
Is it because Mao Shou led the people away because they were the first to follow Bai Rui from the Mao tribe, but now, there is no special benefit?If they followed the path of slave society, the people of the Mao tribe must be the biggest beneficiaries of vested interests, and they are all big slave owners.At this time, will they still leave?
But this thought just disappeared in a flash. Yes, Mao Shou took people away, and many people left too, but there were more people left behind.The vast majority of ordinary people want to have children in the newly born Xia tribe and live a stable life.
Bai Rui himself is an ordinary person, and he can't do things like equating people with livestock.
Bai Rui also knows that he has thick golden fingers, which is why he can be so willful, otherwise, this kind of behavior is courting death.In the early days of primitive society and slave society, tribes, or larger settlements and cities, were in a state of fragmentation.Moreover, people at this time are very "pure and natural", and the basic concept is: Is there a good thing?not mine?Rob!
It turned out that the situation in Maocheng was not due to the power displayed by Bai Rui, nor the protection of the poisonous fog, it had been besieged to death long ago.
Noselion wanted to persuade Bai Rui again, but Bai Rui looked at him with serious and firm eyes, which made Noselion unable to say words of comfort.Bai Rui smiled and patted Noselion on the shoulder: "The last time I came to your place was because of my negligence, but I won't do it in the future. It's not that I won't go back to your place, but that there will be no more negligence. Happened. A man who saw someone who was only slightly stronger than himself, with a lot of money, would probably think of trying to rob, but what if he saw someone ten times stronger?"
"Everything is up to you." Noselion was not persuaded by Bai Rui, but he knew that he could not persuade Bai Rui either.
"By the way, let you see, that's my partner."
Bai Rui pulled Noselion and pointed to the star hunter who was walking over. Noselion is a very nice person, and Loka's civilization is more advanced than here, but even in modern China, there are still many people who think that the disabled Can only marry the disabled.If a disabled person marries an able-bodied person, people will be surprised and speculated.
Noselion's first reaction was that this person was a little thin, but when he saw Xunxing's mutilated leg, his expression became a little subtle.There are indeed disabled gods in mythology, but the main positive and powerful gods have eyes or ears even if they are disabled, and their hands and feet are sound.Because the hands and feet represent strength and ability, no one will be in awe of a god who can't even hold his descendants to pee, or can't stand up and can only prostrate on the ground.
Even though Hunter had a nice looking prosthetic foot, he didn't walk with a limp, but as a god king, it was a joke!
Staring at Bai Rui's expression, Noselion really hoped that Bai Rui was joking.However, he was disappointed, Bai Rui's eyes were full of tender love, just like his expression when he mentioned his partner along the way - he loved his partner so much, it was impossible to use this as a joke.
Lie Xing has been on a "hunger strike to lose weight" for a few days, but he hasn't lost weight yet. He has been busy with a lot of things these days, so he seems a little empty.Bai Rui walked over distressedly, hugged Lie Xing and kissed him.
"It seems that they are in a hurry." Hunting star looked at the people behind Noselion, they were all listless, because of being hit, and also because of the fatigue along the way, "Stop chatting, let Let them take people in to rest."
"Obey, my patriarch, by the way, Xunxing, do you want to be king?"
"King? No, I can't be king."
"why?"
"Because according to what you said, the king will have offspring."
Bai Rui, who was excited just now, immediately froze, yes, the king will have offspring, who will be born between them?
But Xiaoqing can give birth, is it Xunxing... No, forget it.
In this day and age, giving birth to a woman is more than just stepping into the gate of hell. Even with Bai Rui, there were still women in Maocheng who died of dystocia due to various reasons.Bai Rui originally treated women equally, but now he admires women and mothers even more.If Lie Xing is really pregnant with one, then there is only one way to have a caesarean section, but who would dare to have a caesarean section?Anyway, even if Bai Rui had the ability to see through, he wouldn't dare.
"Not necessarily, there are also kings who don't need offspring."
"Isn't that the same as the tribal leader? It's just a different name."
"It seems... indeed." o(╯□╰)o
Lie Xing patted Bai Rui on the head to comfort him.
Noselion was completely out of luck. When he saw the two finally separated, he immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "It's a pleasure to meet you, my great God-King." It's more reasonable, but judging from his relationship with Bai Rui, Bai Rui doesn't like others to bow down.Where this god king walked, none of his people bowed down.
Before the newcomers could be disappointed, Noselion took them on a half-day tour around the pit.The ruins in the pit are the best subject for "ideological education". When they came back, everyone was the same as Noselion. There was no more loss or regret, only excitement.
Although they still don't understand the language, Bai Rui still divides them into various labor groups or hunting teams according to their abilities, and learns the language while working with them.
Their enthusiasm and drive affected the original people and calmed people down a lot.Two days later, a bigger change happened.
***
"Sha Qi, Maocheng has indeed been destroyed, are you sure you want to go back?" Gu Duo has asked Sha Qi many times along the way, but each time Sha Qi only gave him the same answer.
"Yes, I want to go back. The patriarch and the great witch took me in back then and made me a Gu worm warrior. I will never forget their kindness forever." From ten days ago, all the Gu worm warriors outside From my Gu worm partners, I felt the call from the great witch, the call to let them go back.But many people didn't respond, and even the guards of their second city completely betrayed Maocheng, Gu Duo still sneaked out by himself.
Who knew that not long after he slipped out, he ran into Gu Duo and had to take him with him.
They walked along the road, but because of the previous war with Jiaotou and the subsequent turmoil, no one managed the post station, and no one took care of the road.In just a few months, the dirt roads in some places have been covered with weeds and vines.
"Ugh……"
"Why do you keep asking again and again when you know my answer won't change?"
"Because I like you. Although I think you are stupid, I am willing to be with you. So, at most, I just ask."
"Stupid boy." Shaqi said with a headache, "You can go back."
"Unless you come with me."
"Gu Duo, that's why I can't accept you."
"So you want to accept me?"
"..." Shaqi was silent for a while, and then slapped Gu Duo on the back of the head with a "pop!", "Why can't you listen to me well?"
"I listen well, I must listen well." Gu Duo covered the back of his head with a flattering expression.
Shaqi sighed. If he had known this, he would not have taken care of this silly boy: "We are all savages without tribes, we can only choose our own path. Answering the call of the great witch is my choice, but not yours." Yes. It doesn’t matter if you like me now, but once your life is not what you want in the future, you will regret it, how much you like me now, how much you will hate me then.”
"I won't!" The flattery on Gu Duo's face was gone, replaced by grievance and anger.
Sha Qi sighed again, he looked around, his snake Gu came out from a bush, and spit snake letter at him: "Come with me." No matter how Sha Qi poured cold water on him, when he heard him say that At that time, Gu Duo followed closely.
Snake Gu found a cave. There were traces of a burnt bonfire in the cave, and there was still a moldy grass bed in the corner. Obviously, other people before them also used this place as a place to stay.
"Isn't it too early to find a place to live at this time?" Gu Duo asked strangely, but Sha Qi didn't speak, and was tidying up the grass bed and lighting the bonfire.Gu Duo pursed his lips and stopped talking.
The two didn't talk until they finished hunting and sat by the campfire to start grilling meat.
"Actually... Actually, I am willing to go to Maocheng, not all because of you." Gu Duo looked awkward, "But I think if I tell you that, you will think that I don't like you, but I just use you to come to Maocheng .”
"Then besides liking me, why are you here?"
"In order to become a Gu worm warrior." Gu Duo scratched his scalp, "The people of Diyi City gave up Maocheng like that, is that stupid? Isn't it only the great witch who can make people call the Gu worm warrior? Then If you betrayed Maocheng and the great witch, wouldn't that cut off your own way of retreat?"
Sha Qi looked at Gu Duo in a little surprise. Although this matter was obvious, ordinary people in their position rarely thought of this: "Without the great witch, it is not that there will be no witches, and those butterflies It can cure diseases like the Ice Silkworm Gu. As for the combat power, without the Gu worms, wouldn’t there still be war beasts? But if this opportunity is missed, then Di Yi will always be just an attached city of Maocheng.”
Gu Duo's face wrinkled all over: "But isn't this tossing yourself to be weak? I don't understand what they think." Gu Duo also left his tribe for a better life, but he saw it very I understand that the strength of Maocheng is due to the Gu worm fighters, the existence of the Gu worm fighters, and the big witch.As a result, these people insisted on abandoning the Gu worm warriors and betraying the great witch, just to follow the old path that others have walked?
"In addition, there are some people who think that the big witch can't make more Gu worm fighters."
"What do you mean?"
"Even if they leave, the witch will not be able to retaliate against them. Well, don't talk about this." Shaqi threw his loincloth aside, then he walked to the grass bed, knelt on it, and supported his front body with his hands , posing in a submissive pose full of hints.
Gu Duo gulped and swallowed: "You you you, you this?"
"You can't fuck me, just keep thinking, do it once, if you think it's nothing new, I'll send you back. If you still want to think about it, then I'll let you continue to follow...!" Gu who flew over Too much for Shazie to finish his sentence, and then...then he couldn't speak.
At dawn, the two continued on the road, but it was Gu Duo who carried Sha Qi on his back.
╮(╯▽╰)╭Young people, they are just too impulsive.
***
People like Sha Qi and Gu Duo rushed to the camp of the newly born Xia Tribe one after another, refilling the team of Gu worm fighters, and dispatched new manpower to the station near the camp.It's just that it will take some time for Xia to restore the prosperity of Maocheng.
Today, Bai Rui brought back the last few parts of his loom from the side of the big pit, and regardless of his disheveled appearance, he hung it on the back of Xunxing who was drinking water as soon as he entered the door: "It seems almost .”
"what?"
"Do you want to give those who left a chance to regret it?"
Bai Rui has always been secretive, and he didn't say what method he used to punish those who left. Out of trust, Lie Xing never asked: "Diyi City and Chongming City are managed by Mao Shou. Before Mao Shou left, those two cities lost contact with us. Therefore, ordinary people can give one more chance, and Zerg Warriors... must not give them another chance."
"Okay." Bai Rui kissed Lie Xing's earlobe.
At the same time that Bai Rui said good-bye, all the worm warriors who abandoned Maocheng, no matter where they were or what they were doing, suddenly fell to the ground stiffly.Before they panicked, a burst of severe pain from between their eyebrows made them unable to care about anything but howling, until a worm the size and length of a little finger crawled out of their ears and was killed by their Gu worm partner. After swallowing it in one gulp, the pain stopped and they could resume their actions.
"Thank you..." Mao Shou raised his limp hand, trying to pat the big scorpion.Who knew that the big scorpion who had been with him all these years suddenly took a step back, avoided his hand, then turned around and walked away, "Big rock? Giant..."
Since leaving the place that is no longer Mao, his boulder has indeed shown displeasure, he persuaded Mao to take it back, and sent a call from Bai Rui.But Mao Shou didn't care, anyway, the Gu worm partner was his, and if he wanted to leave, it could only follow.After a long time, naturally, he would no longer think about white witches, just like the woman who was robbed.
"Clan... Patriarch?" A plump and clean woman asked tremblingly. By the standards of this era, she was already considered a peerless beauty.She was snatched by Mao Shou from a passing tribe.Don't look at Mao Shou bringing her by his side, in fact, it was awkward to see her. It was just a puff at the time, and he didn't even touch it when someone snatched her. The whole thing is just a decoration.
"Get out!" Mao Shou struggled to catch up with the boulder, but he couldn't even sit up.At this time, Mao Shou thought of the bond formation ceremony held by Bai Rui back then.That concentric Gu, with the concentric Gu, it is possible to have a Gu worm partner.So just now, could it be...
Mao Shou was so frightened that he was drenched in cold sweat. If he knew that Bai Rui could withdraw the concentric Gu, he would never leave Mao, no, Xia!So now... now we must rush back to Xia as soon as possible, and apologize to Bai Rui.He was just in a daze for a while, I believe Bai Rui and Mao Wu will forgive him!
At this time, there are many, many people who realize what happened and have the same thoughts as Mao Shou...
