Chapter 89 Cat Town (10)

After harvesting the lost leaves, there was a slight wind blowing every day, and the temperature was more than ten degrees lower than before.There were black clouds floating in the gray sky from time to time, but it didn't rain.The beginning of the moving season is the time for the landowners to take the lost leaves to the city.Although Daxie was 100% dissatisfied with me in his heart, he had to pretend to be friendly so that I could go to the city with him; without me, he wouldn't go there safely: because to protect Miye, maybe lost took his life. The fan leaves are all dried in the sun and packed into big bags.The soldiers carried a bag in pairs, and the two took turns putting the bag on their heads.The big scorpion was in front, and four soldiers lifted him up. His back was placed flat on top of the four cat heads. Two other tall soldiers supported his feet, and one stood behind him. His neck, this method of travel was the most respectable, if not the most comfortable, in cat country.The twenty famous masters all held musical instruments, and stood around the soldiers. If the soldiers did not follow the rules, such as digging open the leaf bag with their fingers, they would play music and report to the big scorpion at any time in order to smell the smell.Something has to be useful in order to exist in Catland, and the same goes for music, musicians double as detectives.

My position is in the middle of the brigade, so that I can take care of the front and back.The big scorpion also prepared seven people for me; I would rather run on the ground than covet this preferential treatment.The big scorpion will definitely refuse, and explain to me by citing the scriptures: the emperor has twenty-one people, the kings have fifteen, and the nobles have seven... This is a legacy of ancient times, an expression of status, and it cannot and is not allowed to be destroyed.I still don't do it. "The nobleman walks on the ground," Daxie quoted a proverb: "The ancestors made a fool of themselves." I told him that my ancestors would never make a fool of themselves.He was about to cry, and he quoted a western line of poetry: "Eat the leaves with your face up, and be a nobleman with your body."Da Xie sighed, he must have scolded me in his heart, but he didn't dare to curse out.

It took more than two hours to line up. The big scorpion lay flat and got down again. Seven times before and after, the cat soldiers were still not in line; Cracked their cat heads with sticks, so no matter how much the scorpion cursed them, they didn't line up in a straight line anyway.Daxie surrendered and ordered to move forward, no matter how chaotic the team was. Just about to set off, a few white-tailed hawks flew in the sky, and the big scorpion jumped down again, and gave the order: It is bad luck to meet eagles when going out, and we will leave tomorrow!I took out the pistol, "If you don't leave, never leave!" Da Xie's face turned green with anger, he opened his mouth a few times, but didn't say a word.He knows that it is useless to argue with me, and at the same time he knows how dangerous it is to make a taboo to travel.It took him more than ten minutes to climb onto the cat's head again, trembling all over.The brigade has moved forward.I don't know if I was so angry that I couldn't lie down, or the person who carried it was deliberately joking with him. After walking for a while, the big scorpion rolled down several times.But when it rolls down, it immediately climbs up again. The big scorpion is extremely responsible for preserving the remnants of the ancestors.

Along the road, wherever there is a place where you can write, on the bark, on the stones, and on the broken walls, it is all written in big white characters: welcome to the big scorpion, the big scorpion is a giant who works hard to feed the country, the big scorpion's soldiers stick to the stick of justice, there are Only Daxie can have a bumper harvest this year... It turned out that Daxie sent someone to write it in advance for him to read.After passing several small villages, the villagers were all sitting with their backs against the broken wall, and the army passed by before them, and they all closed their eyes and didn't even look at it.If they are afraid of soldiers, why don't they avoid them?Don't be afraid, why don't you dare to open your eyes?I can't figure it out.It wasn't until I took a closer look that I realized that these were the representatives of the village welcoming the big scorpions, because white characters were written indistinctly on the gray hairs on their heads. Each of them had a word on their head, and when several people joined together, they formed a sentence. "Welcome Big Scorpion" and so on.Because this was also written by Da Xie in advance, so it is not clear that the white has retreated.Although they all closed their eyes, Da Xie nodded to them as if he was doing something, expressing his gratitude.These villages are all under the protection of the big scorpion.The dilapidation and filth in the village, and the thin, dirty, and spiritless villagers can prove that their guardians did not protect them.I hate scorpions even more.

If I go alone, I can always reach Cat City in about half a day.Walking with cat soldiers is the best way to practice patience.Cat people can walk fast, but cat people will not walk fast when they become soldiers, because fast walking is asking for quick death when they go into battle. As soon as the time comes - step back. It was past one o'clock in the afternoon. Although there were some dark clouds in the sky, the heat from the sun was still strong. The cat soldiers all opened their mouths wide, and the fine hairs on their bodies were covered with sweat. I have never seen such a disgraceful group of soldiers.There was a lost forest in the distance, and Daxie ordered to walk around the forest.I thought it was because he was considerate of the soldiers, and he could rest for a while in the forest.As soon as he got to the woods, he rolled down to discuss with me, and I was willing to help him snatch this lost forest. "It's not very important to grab some lost leaves, it's very beneficial to give the soldiers some combat practice." Daxie said.I didn't answer him, I looked at the soldiers first, all of them shut their mouths, and they seemed to have no signs of fatigue at all; walking and looting is the legitimate career of cat soldiers, I think.I can also see: Daxie and his soldiers must hate me very much, if I prevent them from robbing.Although my pistol can withstand them, but if they want to harm me with peace of mind, I cannot defend against them.Besides, cat people robbing each other is what they consider reasonable, even if I don't abandon justice because of personal danger, who will appreciate my behavior?I know I have been infected by the cat people, and my courage is often diminished for my own safety.I told Daxie to do whatever he wanted, which was already a sign of regress, but as soon as I regressed, he immediately tightened his grip. He asked me if I would take the lead to grab it?For this, I refused without hesitation.You rob yours, I have no objection, nor join, I told him so.

The soldiers seemed to have sensed the snatch from the moment they walked towards the woods. Before the big scorpion gave an order, they had already put down all the leaf bags, grabbed the sticks, and some of them had already run out.I've never seen Daxie so brave before. Although he didn't try to snatch it himself, his expression was very serious, without fear, his eyes were round, and the fine hair on his head stood on end.With a wave of his stick, the soldiers shouted and rushed across the Milin forest.When they arrived at the Milin, everyone ran around the forest, as if they were all insane.I think this is probably to lure the caretaker in the forest.After running around three times, there was no movement in the forest, the big scorpion laughed, and the soldiers shouted again, all rushing into the forest.

Lin Zhong also shouted, Da Xie's eyes became less round, and he blinked a few times.His soldiers withdrew, dropped all their sticks, covered their heads with their hands, and ran back howling, "There are foreigners! There are foreigners!" Everyone shouted together.Da Xie didn't seem to believe it, but he was not so brave anymore, and said to himself: "There are foreigners? I know there must be no foreigners here!" He was just saying so.Someone in the forest chased him out.Daxie panicked: "There are really foreigners!" Many cat soldiers came out of the forest.At the head were two tall, white-haired men with a shiny stick in their hands.These two must be foreigners, I thought; foreigners can use chemistry to make things similar to iron.I was also a little uneasy, if the big scorpion asked me to resist those two white men, what should I do?I know what is that shiny thing in their hands?Although it wasn't my idea to snatch Mi Lin from others, I am the protector of Scorpion after all; watching them defeat and not saving him, at least I have lost my identity, and I will rely on him for everything in the cat country in the future. "Go and block it!" Big Scorpion said to me, "Go and block it!"

I knew it was imperative, so I walked over with my pistol in hand without thinking about it.To my surprise, the two white cats saw me coming out and stopped moving forward.The big scorpion also rushed over, and I knew it couldn't be dangerous. "Make peace! Make peace!" Da Xie whispered behind me.I was a little confused: why didn't you tell me to fight them?Make peace?How to say it?Things are often not as difficult as they should be in the end, and I'm getting confused.The two white men said: "You will be punished with six packs of lost leaves. It will be used by the three of us!" I looked, and there were only two white men.How to say three?Big Scorpion urged me in a low voice: "Talk to them!" What am I talking about?Like an idiot, I also said: "You will be punished with six packs of fan leaves. It will be used by the three of us!" The two white men smiled and nodded after listening to me, as if they were very satisfied.I am even more baffled.Big Scorpion sighed.Pay to move six packs of fan leaves.When the six packs were moved, two white men politely asked me to pick two packs first.I just understood.It turned out that there were three people including me.Naturally, I politely asked them to choose first.They casually took four packs and handed them to their cat soldiers, and then said to me: "We will finish collecting the lost leaves. See you in the city." I also said like an idiot: "See you in the city." They walked back into the woods.

I was so confused about what I was thinking.What kind of trick is this? It wasn't until after I arrived in Cat City that I inquired with foreigners that I understood the twists and turns.Cat country people can't beat outsiders.Their only hope is for the foreigners to fight themselves.Aiming for self-improvement requires great effort, and cat people are too shrewd to put in so much effort.So I just ask God to tell foreigners to kill each other, so that the cat people will have a chance to turn from weak to strong, or should be said, to have a chance to see other countries as weak as themselves.Foreigners understand this, and their conflicts of interest in the cat country are always there.But they are absolutely unwilling to attack each other to let the cat country gain advantage.They can see clearly that their own disputes are hard versus hard.Even those who win the battle will suffer great losses; on the contrary, if they unite to bully the cat country, they can gain great benefits without loss.Not only is the international policy like this, but even the individuals who work in the cat country also abide by this condition.Protecting Milin is a good job for foreigners.But everyone agreed: only those who resist the cat country on behalf of the landlord will be responsible.When both sides are protected by foreigners, neither side is allowed to invade the other; if this condition is not kept, the protectors of both sides will discuss and punish the landlord or the leader.In this way, it can not only avoid disputes between foreigners and foreigners over the affairs of the cat country people, but also make the protector's position superior, so that he will not be used by the cat country people.

It's a good idea to conceive of a protector.From the perspective of cat people?I can't help feeling wronged on behalf of the big scorpions.But then I thought about it: Scorpios are willing to endure this, willing not to be self-improving, willing to ask outsiders to beat their own family members.And whose fault is it?Only those who have the same arrogance can value each other, and the people of cat country have lost their humanity at all.No wonder they were teased like this by others.I was upset about this for several days. Go back and say: The big scorpion was punished, and solemnly went to the cat's head again, without any shame, as if he had won by himself.He only told me that if I didn't want those two packs of fan leaves—he knew I didn't like them very much—he was willing to pay twenty national souls to buy them back.I must know that this pack of fan leaves is worth at least three hundred national souls, but I didn't say sell it, nor said I wouldn't sell it, I just didn't bother to talk to him, I didn't even snort.

The sun was level, and I saw Cat City.
