"Is this the lyrics? It's obviously very inspiring, but it's sung in such a sad way." I said.
“After all, if it weren’t for your help, City Lord, all the Kunk people might still have to live in that dark place forever, leading a life worse than pigs and dogs. They can’t resist and can’t control their own destiny. These songs may be just what they expect from life. Therefore, the more hopeful the lyrics are, the more they can show their inner despair at that time. City Lord, you are the god sent by their ancestors to save them.” Su Yuexi was on my left, turning her head and speaking to me.
I smiled, turned around and looked at those once pitiful Quinks, hoping that the lyrics they created could be sung with joy in the future.
"It's time to eat, come here!" Song Bailu shouted.
To be honest, people like us can eat almost all the food with two similar poles. Now, we can just find two branches and use them as tools to pick up the dishes to eat. On the other hand, those Kunks have no way to do it. My chopstick skills are like magic to them.
But we can't just eat by ourselves. Tonight we all need to be full and satisfied. So all the Kunks line up, and when Song Bailu picks up something, they will take it away. It will be the next person's turn to get something, and after they finish eating, they will continue to line up. This is the time for Song Bailu to start establishing his prestige here.
Of course, Yunwen, Su Yuexi and I treated it as a hotpot. Song Bailu was quite organized. The ones that were easy to cook were placed on the top, while the ones that were not easy to cook were placed at the bottom of the pot. Therefore, after eating the top, the tree melon slices at the bottom could be continued to be eaten. In addition, the soup base was really good, so we all ate a lot in a short time.
During the distribution process, Bai Lu ate some herself, and the atmosphere was rare and harmonious.
Just after finishing the meal, and then the Kunks jumped and shouted for a while, today's bonfire party was almost over. Although we were not very full, it was much better than being hungry. Then we let the Kunks move freely, and the four of us went to the wooden house that Song Bailu had chosen, ready to rest for a night and go back to the post station together tomorrow.
This wooden house is integrated with a tall tree and has two floors. The downstairs is empty. Perhaps everything that should be harmonized has already been dealt with. Upstairs is a large animal skin hammock. The wood construction is quite stable. However, Song Bailu said that she might renovate it. Originally, this place was reserved for the chief, and now she wants to use it as her own residence.
In this room, Bai Lu took off the animal skin and spread it on the ground. Everyone sat around it, planning to sleep there tonight. Su Yuexi didn't mind sleeping with us. Although this was not very good after all, there was really no better arrangement now. Other places were too cold at night, so they just had to make do with it.
We didn't choose to go to bed immediately, because it would be better to discuss some things in advance, so we talked about it. Regarding the future development plan of the Kunke people, there are obviously two major problems now. I want to know how Bai Lu solved them.
"Bai Lu, how do you solve the water problem here? Do you have any solution? In addition to tree melons, have you thought about what to arrange for them to eat recently? After all, the number of tree melons is limited, and if they go hunting, there are many sick and disabled people like them. I think it will be easier for them to survive than ordinary people. I'm afraid hunting can't guarantee food for the whole winter." I said.
"The spring water from the Bat Cave is of course the daily method for the Wutu people to collect water, but I have long discovered another way. On the top of the Demon Claw Mountain above the Bat Cave, there are other spring sources. We can lead a canal down, which should not be a difficult task. Anyway, I have a rough idea of the windmill technology, which I learned from Yingchun before. As for food, you can bring me some potatoes in a while, and I will try to grow them here. In addition, I have studied that tree melons take about two months to grow. The land here is particularly fertile and grows very fast. I plan to transform the slope of the Demon Claw Mountain into a field dedicated to planting." Bai Lu said.
"Well, okay, basically the arrangements are very good. I'll have to work harder for you. Also, you have to be more careful about those skinless monkeys to prevent them from coming in and attacking people. Some of the surrounding walls and fences need to be built with civil engineering technology." I said.
"Okay, I understand." Bai Lu said.
"Song Bailu, there is one more thing. This place is entrusted to you by Zhou Bo for management. It is not your personal territory. No matter how well you do here in the future, please remember that you still have a king and cannot establish your own army." Yunwen said.
Although it's too early to say this, it's necessary to give him a wake-up call. After all, Song Bailu is inherently dangerous, and some things would be better said earlier.
She rolled her eyes at Yunwen and said nothing.
"Don't worry, ma'am. I will keep an eye on her for the city lord. She will never dare to do that." Su Yuexi said.
Song Bailu became even more annoyed.
However, compared to these trivial matters, I have something more important to say, which is what I really want to explain to Song Bailu tonight. I remember that we defeated Fan Chong in a weird way before. Among them, there was a person called the Lord of Darkness. I still think about the mysterious voice in my ears. When Fan Chong was rational, he also said that he became so weird after he went to a mysterious space in West Island. Therefore, the Lord of Darkness should be living there.
And it is in this mysterious space of West Island. In addition, everything it did before seemed like it was setting up some kind of trap, especially at the end, when it asked me to submit to it. It meant that it wanted me to take over Fan Chong's shift, which made me even more uneasy.
Therefore, I must make it clear in advance, so I said again: "Song Bailu, don't be impatient. Sometimes you really only care about yourself and forget the limits. You should be on guard against Yuexi's words. In addition, I also said that you must not get involved in those things related to the dark. Since you have returned to the team, don't try to make any more attempts. You must remember that you just try your best to do things here, and I will naturally treat you as my own, as... my wife. If you betray me again, you will no longer have any chance. Do you understand?"
Seeing that I was serious, Song Bailu nodded, but she said in a strong tone: "If you are worried about me, just come to see me a few more times every month, that will be fine."
I have said all the good and bad things that I should say. Now I can only ask Su Yuexi to keep an eye on me. There is nothing else I can do. However, I think that she will not mess around again this time. After all, I have said all that I can say. If she still doesn't understand, then I really don't know what to say.
After a tiring day, everyone was tired. Yunwen slept on my left, Bailu on my right, and Su Yuexi slept next to Yunwen. But when I slept, I could always feel her secretly glancing at me through her neck from behind. However, when I turned my face away, she immediately pretended to lie down and sleep. I could only shake my head and ignore it.
There is no place to warm up by a fire, and it is extremely cold to sleep. We can only sleep in closer and closer places to keep warm. The Wutu people have thick skin and are not afraid of the cold, but we are different.
Therefore, although I fell asleep because of tiredness, I slept very lightly that night and could hear the cold wind outside almost the whole night.
Anyway, closing my eyes can help me relax. Although I can wake up anytime I want, I just plan to put up with it. Yunwen is sleeping soundly in my arms. I can hear the sound of her smacking lips. Then, just as I thought it was a peaceful night, I suddenly felt a slight sweetness on my lips, accompanied by a faint fragrance. My lips also felt slightly cool. But Yunwen has fallen asleep and Bailu has her back to me. Who kissed me?
However, after carefully savoring the fragrance, it didn't take long for me to realize that I didn't expect that she would kiss me so actively?
"I'm sorry, City Lord, I really can't help myself, but you already have so many people who love you, I really can't ask for that. Today is a rare opportunity, and I have to offend you. I hope you won't blame me. To be honest, after so many things have happened, I feel that you are an amazing king, and my love for you has increased. It is said that only young girls are in love, but I also... Oh, forget it, I was delusional. Starting tomorrow morning, let's forget all this. Good night." She muttered, and she didn't know at all that I was only in a light sleep.
While she was lying down, I touched my lips and felt a sweet feeling in my heart.
