Chapter 1135 The Temptation of Shi Quan
On the east bank of Honghu Lake, in Shi Quan's simple camp, today's dinner has been prepared. The soldiers set up a table again in the same way as in the morning, so that everyone can eat together around the table.
Several large pottery basins were placed in the middle of the table, and the stewed vegetables were divided into several basins. The table was surrounded by women and children, and each of them had a bowl of dry rice in front of them.
Because these people didn't know how to use chopsticks to pick up vegetables, the soldiers took a large spoon and put a spoonful of meat and vegetables in each person's bowl to save them from not knowing how to pick up the vegetables themselves.
This time, they used chopsticks to eat. Although these people didn't know how to use them, it was not a problem to use chopsticks to pick up rice into their mouths. Even children can learn to eat by themselves.
"Everyone, take your time to eat. If you are not full, there is more in the pot. When you join our Han tribe in the future, you will be able to eat such good food every meal. But don't waste it. Don't leave any rice in your bowl. If you can't finish it, don't take so much."
Dozens of people gathered together to eat. The scene was quite spectacular. Shi Quan walked back and forth between two tables. He walked and ate with his bowl in his hand. From time to time, he told the women and children who had just joined about the situation in the Han tribe.
Although they didn't understand, they had to learn. How could they learn if they were not allowed to listen?
At this time, the guys who were sent to monitor the Han tribe also came over and were immediately discovered by several Jinwuwei soldiers who were guarding nearby. Someone immediately went up to report to Shi Quan.
"Shi Xiaoqi, the people from that tribe this morning are here again."
Shi Quan glanced at the men, waved his hand and said, "Let them come over."
"Yes!"
Within half a minute, several people were brought to the camp on the Han tribe's side. They drooled at the women eating, envious in their hearts, and regretted it one after another. If it was them who were exchanged to the Han tribe in the morning, how great it would be!
At this moment, Shi Quan came up with a bowl of rice in his hand, shoveling rice into his mouth as he walked. After swallowing the rice and meat in his mouth, he smiled and asked them, "Friends, why are you here?"
"We just want to take a look, we changed two pots at noon, we don't know how to use them, let's take a look, what is this thing you are eating? It smells so good!"
"Yes, yes, we don't know how to use this thing, come and take a look, and learn how you cook."
Several people pointed at the bowl in Shi Quan's hand for a while, and then pointed at the iron pot not far away.
As they were talking, their stomachs started to growl again, which made them feel very embarrassed.
Shiquan just felt funny. Although he didn't understand what they were saying, he roughly understood what they meant. They came here with empty stomachs, looking at the pot and the bowl. They probably wanted to eat, but they were too embarrassed to say it out loud. That's why they pretended to be indifferent, but in fact, their eyes never left the food.
Thinking of this, Shiquan laughed out loud. He thought that the turning point of this matter seemed to have come.
"Hahahaha, you must be hungry, right? Are you not eating enough in your own tribe? Come on, give each of them a bowl of rice, and bring some dishes."
"Yes!"
Then, several warriors brought a large wooden basin and put it on the ground as a round table. Shiquan asked them to sit on the ground. As soon as they sat down, someone came over with several bowls full of white rice, and on top of the rice were piles of meat and vegetables.
After handing out chopsticks to several people, Shi Quan immediately called out, "Eat, everyone, learn from me, lift up the bowl and scoop rice into your mouth."
When several people saw the food in front of them, they immediately drooled and looked at each other. They all understood what each other meant.
This was not what they asked for, but what the Han tribe took the initiative to give it to them. It would be a waste not to eat it, so what else can they say, eat it!
Several people immediately followed Shi Quan's example and started to pick up the bowl and scoop rice. They ate it so voraciously that they accidentally scraped the potatoes on the rice onto the ground, and picked them up and ate them without saying a word.
They were all very hungry!
Shi Quan finished eating before them, and asked someone to serve him a bowl of mung bean soup. He took a sip before putting the bowl down, looking at the people who were still concentrating on eating, and asked them with a smile.
"My friends, is the food in the Han tribe delicious?"
Everyone nodded.
Then Shi Quan continued, "Do you want to eat this kind of food every day? Three meals a day?"
Now that his hands were free, Shi Quan began to speak and gesture with sign language, repeating it back and forth several times, and finally let them understand roughly.
One of the teenagers asked in surprise, "Can we really eat it every day, three meals a day?"
Shi Quan nodded affirmatively, "Of course!"
Someone else couldn't help asking, "Then what do we need to exchange?"
At this time, Shi Quan shook his head again, "You can't exchange food with things, even with people, you can't exchange it. If you want to eat this kind of food every day, you have to join our tribe.
"Did you see them? They also joined our Han tribe from other tribes, and now they can eat this kind of food every day."
"This..."
Several people hesitated immediately after hearing this, and their mouths that were chewing rice stopped unconsciously.
After a long silence, someone finally spoke.
"If we can really eat this kind of food every day, we are willing to join your tribe, but our leader will not agree. He will not agree to use us to exchange things. "
Shi Quan suddenly said, "This is easy. Since he disagrees, it means he doesn't want you to live a good life. If he doesn't want you to live a good life, then he is our enemy. You can kill him and bring all the remaining tribesmen to join our tribe! Then all of you can live such a life, no longer cold, no longer hungry." "
When they heard this, they were stunned and speechless.
Just because of this, they killed people?
The leader was good to them. Although they didn't eat enough, everyone ate that much, so they didn't blame anyone in their hearts.
Now they are asked to kill the leader just because they can have enough food in the future? That's something they can't even think about . It
's as if they didn't understand and continued to eat in silence.
Shi Quan saw that they didn't react and knew that he couldn't act too hastily.
Since they couldn't kill their leader and take the tribe away as a whole, it would be good to take more people away. So, Shi Quan, whose plan to sow discord did not succeed, gave them a second idea.
"If you don't want to kill the leader and bring your tribesmen to join, that's easy to deal with. Our fleet will leave here three nights later. If you want to go with us then, you can come after dark and get on our boat directly. We will go on the water, and your leader won't be able to find you even if he wants to.
"And if you have women and children, or other people you have a good relationship with, you can also tell them this news, and then bring them together. Don't bring anything. We have everything here. We can take as many people as you bring.
"Friends, think about it carefully!"
Several people were immediately tempted.
The leader had no grudges against them, and they had no reason to kill the leader, but it was different if they sneaked out and left. They didn't do anything to let the leader down. They just wanted to pursue a better life. That should be okay, right?
And there are their sisters and their children, who have now joined the Han tribe. If they also join the Han tribe, they can reunite with their sisters and children.
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became. This seemed to be the best way.
They looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes, as well as the brilliance of hope, the light of hope to live a good life, to have enough food every day, and to wear warm clothes
