Taiyu City, in the meeting building.
Lu Yu discussed with everyone how to rescue Zhu Hua and others.
Xia Cao said, "The main reason is that they can't keep up with us, and they will definitely be spotted by the three tribes, and they will catch up or ambush them."
Lu Yu nodded, "That's right, I'm also struggling with this. It's no problem for us to help them. The problem is how to get so many people out of the surveillance range of the three major tribes. As far as I know, they still have some Women and children."
Shanpu scratched his head, "Should we pull it with a wooden cart?"
Lu Yu rejected his suggestion, "If all our people go to pull wooden carts, then who will fight against the people of the three major tribes? Moreover, these are not dozens of people, but hundreds of people."
No matter how powerful the Matai people are, if everyone "carries their family and children", their traveling speed will also decrease.
Lu Yu said again, "And they still have a lot of supplies, that's right, Zhuhua and the others will definitely give up these supplies when necessary, but in this case, even if we rescue them, they will return to the tribe with great vigor Injury, when the time comes, it may soon be swallowed up by other tribes. Since we have decided to help people, I think we should try to help as much as possible."
Shanpu's thick eyebrows drooped in distress, "Then what should I do?"
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then looked at Mr. Fang, "Mr. Fang, what happened to the boat Sanqiu and the others built? Have you used the iron and tung oil?"
Fang Lao said energetically, "It's used! Not only did they use Shanglu, they also built a big guy. When I came, Sanqiu and the others dragged me and asked me to call you to see when you are free." , go and see it again!"
Lu Yu smiled, "I know, when I gave them iron sheets before, Sanqiu told me that they are not satisfied with building small boats."
Shan Pu asked curiously, "Wu, what ship? What is it for?"
Shanpu doesn't go to the basin very often, and Sanqiu and the others are not people who like to make public, so he doesn't know about the boat yet.
Lu Yu explained to him about the boat.
Xia Cao was very smart, she understood Lu Yu's meaning almost immediately, her eyes lit up and she said, "Wu, do you want to use a boat to pick up the leaders of Zhuhua and the others?"
Lu Yu, "It's just an idea. There are seas and big rivers near the Plain of Ten Thousand Beasts. It is at least safer on the water than on land. Even if the boat they built in Sanqiu is not enough to carry everyone, at least it can carry women, children and goods." Come on, then the rest will be much easier."
Mr. Fang rubbed his beard and said with a smile, "Wu's idea is feasible! I saw the new big guy Sanqiu and the others made, and it can carry at least a hundred people! In addition to the few small boats they built, it is no problem to take two hundred people away, and If you are not in a hurry, everyone will come to help, and it will take only a few days to create another big guy!"
Everyone became excited when they heard Mr. Fang say that.
Shan Pu first raised his hand and said, "I'll help! Anyway, I work very easily every day now, so leave any heavy work to me!"
Lu Yu's mood relaxed a lot, watching Shan Pu bouncing around, squinting at Shan Pu pretending to be serious, "Is it easy to work every day?"
"Uh..." Shan Pu froze, cowardly withdrew his raised hand, and said uncomfortably, "I, I..."
Xia Hua patted his head bitterly, "You are as stupid as a red pig!"
Everyone laughed.
Lu Yu coughed and called everyone's attention, "If we want to adopt this method, we have to consider whether to sail the boat to the sea or to the river, so we need to see where the river near Wanshou leads. .”
Shan Pu covered his head that had been hammered by Xia Hua, and smiled flatteringly at Lu Yu, "Wu, leave this matter to me, I promise to run along that river soon!"
Lu Yu, "Then you have a lot to do, don't you still have to work for Sanqiu and the others?"
Shanpu smirked, "Anyway, I will follow Wu's arrangement."
Lu Yu smiled, "Okay, I'll leave it to you to look at the river, mainly to see if there is a certain section that is closer to us and more hidden."
Shan Pu, "Guaranteed to get the job done!"
After discussing this matter, everyone rushed to Sanqiu's side immediately.
Sanqiu took Lu Yu and the others to see the newly built big boat, because the boat was too big to fit in the small river, so it was placed on the other side of the big river.
Walking to the river, Shan Pu and the others who had never seen a boat were taken aback.
"How can there be such a big thing, put it on the river, and it won't sink? And how many people paddling it?" Shan Pu asked in surprise.
Sanqiu said proudly, "No one is needed! Our boat can move by itself!"
Lu Yu said, "But it depends on the direction of the wind."
This kind of wooden sailboat is driven entirely by sails. If the wind is good, it is fine, but if the wind is against it, it will be difficult.
Sanqiu raised his head, lowered his head a little, and said in frustration, "You are right, deputy leader, we haven't thought of a better way." The main reason is that we didn't teach him when he fell asleep.
Lu Yu smiled, "You guys have done a good job, no, it's very good, our rescue this time is thanks to you." Enter the age of steam.
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Sanqiu became happy again.
Lu Yu asked again, "Sanqiu, if everyone helps you, how long will it take for you to build such a big boat?"
Sanqiu glanced at the strong Shanpu Leshui, thought for a while, and said, "It only takes three days! In fact, we have been making parts for the ship. Before that, we didn't have iron and tung oil, so we didn't make a complete one. Now if we want to make another one For a boat, just splice the parts together!"
Lu Yu nodded and booked another big boat with him.
"By the way, in addition to making a boat, you also have to teach Le Shui how to sail a boat." Lu Yu added.
Sanqiu was a little hesitant, "Deputy leader, is it better to learn this when you are dreaming? We also learn it in it. Let us teach people to talk..."
Reminded by his words, Lu Yu patted his forehead, "Look at me, I forgot." There is a dream training ground, and of course using the dream training ground will not take up time.
Everyone discussed a few more words, and then went back to each other, explaining to everyone what they were going to do next. As Mr. Fang expected, no one in the basin backed down, and even the half-grown children raised their small wooden swords, saying that they would fight bad guys with the deputy leader.
The rescue plan was finalized, Lu Yu photographed Shanpu and another Matai to go to Wanshou to find Zhuhua, Shanpu went to see the river, and another Matai explained their plan to Zhuhua.
At night, the Plain of Ten Thousand Beasts, the joint camp.
Zhu Hua and several leaders sat around the campfire.
The bonfire was crackling, but no one spoke.
"Chief Zhuhua, the past few days have passed, and no one from the Taiyu tribe has come. Is it true that they are unwilling to help us?" A small tribal leader broke the dead silence.
In the past two days, he had several blisters on his mouth and couldn't sleep. Whenever he closed his eyes, he saw the scene of the three tribes massacring them.
Zhu Hua frowned, as if he was thinking about something, but didn't speak.
Jin Chang glanced at him, and said to the little leader, "What's the hurry, they will have to travel back and forth for several days, let's wait."
The little leader's face was ugly, and he patted his thigh and said, "We can't wait any longer! The sea water has started to recede recently, and the great drift is coming to an end!"
Several other leaders also echoed.
"Yeah, I really can't wait any longer."
"Why don't we rush out by ourselves? With so many of us, if we really want to die, the three major tribes have to be scruples, right?"
"Yes, yes, maybe they won't do anything to us?"
"Or let's send people back to the tribe first and bring them here. It's not like we don't have strong fighters. Why wait for others? How can others be as reliable as us?"
"Yes, yes, I agree with what you said!"
Everyone was talking non-stop, and they almost got up immediately, ordering people to sneak back to the tribe.
"enough!"
Suddenly, Zhu Hua, who had been silent all this time, let out a sharp shout.
The originally noisy scene quieted down in an instant.
Zhu Hua glanced around coldly, "You are the only ones who are smart? Did you forget what the three of us told you before?"
"Those three major tribes, just those warriors in your tribe who can't catch a few red pigs, are the three major tribes still afraid of you? Just wait for you to call for someone to clean you up at once! Pay us so much People, there are more than 400 of us here, and many of them are women and children who can't fight, what are we going to fight with others? Do you want to die?"
The leaders who had the loudest voices all lowered their heads. After a while, one of them said helplessly, "Chief Zhuhua, what you said is right, but the Taiyu tribe has not sent anyone yet, and we are in a hurry and have nothing to do."
"The three major tribes don't treat other tribes as human beings, and all those who can't be warriors are taken as slaves. Look at what those slaves are doing recently. They are all pulling stones to build stone walls. Stones as big as red pigs, almost every stone It’s all a human life, although we usually don’t say how kind we are to slaves, but we don’t say that we don’t give people a way to live.”
In fact, these tribes hesitated at first, after all, they really couldn't resist the three powerful tribes, but after seeing how the three tribes treated those surrendered tribes, they didn't hesitate anymore. That's right, the leaders and their partners and children may still survive, but what about the people around them, how should they survive
Another person also said, "Yeah, we can't just live for ourselves. Even if we can live, maybe one day the three major tribes will not let us go and swallow us all. And, Those who are drawn to become fighters, I feel very wrong."
Speaking of this, Zhu Hua's expression also changed, "It's really not right, I just wanted to discuss this matter with everyone."
"What's up?"
Zhu Hua squeezed out each word from between his teeth.
"I suspect that those warriors were all witched by the witch from the three tribes!"
