Primitive Society is Good [11]
Chen Liguo naively thought that this trip would be just like the previous ones.
However, before the trip even started the daughter of fate gave Chen Liguo a direct blow on the head.
When Fu Die came to find Chen Liguo she gave him a detailed account of her scheme. The plan was very detailed and well thought out. Her face was full of excitement as she explained it.
However, Chen Liguo"s head hurt from listening. He said, "Fu Die, have you thought about what to do if you fail?"
Fu Die laughed grimly and said, "It won"t fail."
Chen Liguo said, "I"m just worried……"
Fu Die reached out and strongly hugged Chen Liguo. She was now about 1.9 meters. Hugging a 1.6 meter Chen Liguo made it seem like she was hugging a son. She said, "Don"t be afraid. Even if it fails you can push it onto me."
Tears swam in Chen Liguo"s eyes.
Fu Die reached out and wiped away his tears. She said, "I know you hate him too. So Zhi Shui, this is your best opportunity."
Chen Liguo"s tears brimmed over and fell.
Correct, Fu Die"s plan was to take advantage of this trip and get rid of Lang Qing. It could be seen that she really hated him and intended to use the first explosive she developed on him.
Chen Liguo"s tears were true. Only, he was not crying because he wanted to do Lang Qing, but because his golden finger was wasted on Lang Qing.
Chen Liguo: "d.a.m.n, I"ve lost wretchedly in this deal!"
System: "……"
Chen Liguo said, "This feels like spending of money on Taobao for a vibrator!"
The system had nothing to say in reply.
Chen Liguo"s voice shook. "As a result I have to break it with my own hands after just a few days of use……" He never would have thought that the daughter of fate"s hatred for Lang Qing would be so deep that it would be directly linked to her destiny completion degree.
The system coldly spat out three words, "Hee hee hee."
Chen Liguo was so stimulated by these three sounds he burst into tears.
Fu Die was still comforting Chen Liguo saying don"t cry, don"t be afraid, Lang Qing isn"t anything good. After they kill him they would head towards a period of peace and prosperity…….
Chen Liguo: I don"t want an era of peace, I want the primitive society ah! A well off society is full of harmony, he absolutely didn"t like it ah!
Fu Die had no way of knowing Chen Liguo"s inner cry, so she thought that Chen Liguo"s tears were of fear and joy.
The two continued hugging each other, the atmosphere a little harmonious and strange.
Fortunately, this scene wasn"t seen by Lang Qing. If he did, then perhaps Chen Liguo would not manage to go on this trip……
On the day of departure Chen Liguo listlessly sat on Gunzi while holding his light-yellow chicken.
Gunzi was very interested in the chickens and constantly looked back, even itching to lick it with its tongue.
Of course, its longing was ultimately stopped by Lang Qing who sat behind Chen Liguo. He held him and kissed the top of his head, asking, "How come you"re unhappy?"
Chen Liguo said, "I"m not."
Lang Qing looked at Chen Liguo"s appearance and then pulled something out of his arms and stuffed it into his mouth.
Chen Liguo tasted something sweet and asked, "What is this?"
Lang Qing answered, "Fruit I found for you." He pulled out a few more.
Chen Liguo found that these fruits were completely different from ordinary fruit. The taste and appearance were quite similar to the fruit drops he ate in his original world. This was definitely something rare in the primitive society.
The sweet taste melted in Chen Liguo"s mouth, making the corners of his lips lift up slightly.
Lang Qing asked, "Does it taste good?"
Chen Liguo nodded.
Lang Qing said, "Good, when we come back I"ll find some more for you."
Chen Liguo thought, "Then I probably won"t be able to eat it."
Fu Die also had a mount. However, it was different from Lang Qing"s cat Gunzi. Her mount was a giant snake. It was longer than Gunzi and its entire body was slack. It looked particularly horrifying.
She seized this snake from another tribe as spoils of war, then toiled and moiled to raise it up.
One snake and one cat were barely able to interact peacefully. These two had fought against each other several times before and it was always Gunzi who came up on top. However, according to Fu Die, her snake could beat Gunzi down once it grew up.
Chen Liguo was skeptical about this statement because from Gunzi"s appearance, he was still a half-grown young cat.
Fu Die and Lang Qing led the people out of the tribe.
With two giant mounts as guards the troops did not encounter any danger along the way.
Moreover, they had long since scouted the route. Thus, they rapidly advanced towards their destination.
Their goal this time was a tribe facing the sea.
Chen Liguo had always thought that they were landlocked but now he found out that they were actually not too far from the sea. With Gunzi"s strides, they could get there in almost twenty days.
Walking on foot was slower and would instead take them more than a month.
Because the combat strength of the tribe on the beach was very fierce Fu Die prepared gunpowder and weapons and drew up a meticulous battle plan with Lang Qing.
To put on a play it naturally needed sufficient preparation. Fu Die didn"t want Lang Qing to make out any flaws——If it weren"t for the plan requiring Zhi Shui"s help, she wouldn"t have even wanted to tell him.
The little priest"s heart was too soft, completely unlike that of the people of this world. This was probably why Fu Die attached such great importance to Zhi Shui.
Her intuition told her that this priest was a special existence.
Lang Qing did not know that his little slave and Fu Die were thinking about him. He was just a little baffled at why Chen Liguo was being especially behaved these days, so behaved it was like he did something to wrong him.
Lang Qing doubtfully asked Chen Liguo if he went out and got a lover.
Chen Liguo"s hand, which was rubbing his bird down, shook. He immediately answered, "No."
Lang Qing asked, "You really didn"t?"
Chen Liguo hatefully said, "You are insulting my spirit! I, how can I go and find another man!"
Lang Qing sounded an "oh" and believed him.
Chen Liguo looked at his rugged pecs, abs, forearms, and thighs……
Lang Qing shuddered. He said, "What are you looking at me like that for?"
Chen Liguo thought, "I need to take in a few more eyefuls, later I would only be able to m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.e based on my memory." But his mouth said, "Who"s looking at you, I didn"t look at you."
Lang Qing smiled thoughtfully.
Although Chen Liguo wasn"t willing, he still arrived at the day he and Fu Die agreed on.
That day was a dark and windy night. Light rain fluttered in the gloomy sky, just like Chen Liguo"s current mood.
Fu Die handed Chen Liguo a package. She did not say anything and just lowered her head and kissed his forehead. Then, she said, "Go on Zhi Shui, let"s go home after killing Lang Qing."
Chen Liguo: "……" He was originally br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence but after hearing Fu Die"s words he felt that he was fraught with grim possibilities. Is this kind of "go home after doing XX" flag something casual? This sentence is simply the same as "I"ll wash my hands in a gold basin after I finish this escort" and "When everything is over I"ll go home and get married"——They were all lines where you could go get a lunch when finishing them.
Chen Liguo had a very bad premonition. He looked at Fu Die"s trusting expression and felt that he might fail the organization"s expectations.
However, the revolution did not permit retreating.
Chen Liguo accepted the powder with shaking hands and then turned to leave.
Fu Die looked at Chen Liguo"s back and revealed a relieved expression.
Lang Qing was in the middle of dealing with food. Seeing that Chen Liguo had come back he casually asked him why he took so long.
Chen Liguo said, "Had a bit of diarrhea."
Lang Qing knit his brows when he heard this. He asked, "Diarrhea? It can"t be from eating other stuff can it? You ate wild fruits behind my back again?" He was afraid that Chen Liguo"s body couldn"t hold up, so when other people ate dry rations he especially went out to hunt for Chen Liguo.
The bird in his hand was prepared for Chen Liguo. The roasted golden brown meat exuded a rich aroma.
Chen Liguo said, "I didn"t……"
Lang Qing said, "Your health isn"t good, don"t eat random stuff." With that said he handed the meat to Chen Liguo.
Chen Liguo received it, tore off a piece and ate it.
Oh, he had failed to mention it, but ever since he resurrected Lang Qing"s cooking skills greatly improved. Although the things he made were relatively simple, fortunately Chen Liguo didn"t have to cook himself.
Eating the fowl, Chen Liguo was a little absentminded.
Lang Qing didn"t seem to notice Chen Liguo"s peculiarity and instead roasted his own rations.
After eating dinner Lang Qing said that he was going to solve something. Chen Liguo watched his back disappear into the forest.
Chen Liguo took a breath and put down the remaining chicken in his hand. Then, he picked up the package that Lang Qing carried during the day and sprinkled the powder that Fu Die gave him on it.
Chen Liguo"s mood was a little complicated when he did this.
The system saw his appearance and asked, "Afraid?"
Chen Liguo grimly laughed, "Ha, I"ve seen the big world, would I be scared of just this?" When he had acted as the G.o.dfather of the gang he had personally ruined people!
The system said, "If you"re not scared then stop shaking!" Chen Liguo this r.e.t.a.r.d spilled more than half of the powder onto the floor because of his trembling hands.
Chen Liguo said, "It"s too exciting, I"m a bit unable to handle it."
The system said, "If you don"t want to kill then don"t kill."
Chen Liguo said, "Then the task can"t be completed ah."
The system also stopped speaking. Everyone could see Fu Die"s hatred towards Lang Qing. If Lang Qing was killed Fu Die"s destiny completion degree would probably advance a lot.
In the end Chen Liguo finished sprinkling the powder and then ground the ones that split to the floor with his feet. He lowered his heat and mildly said, "I want to go home……"
The system faintly sighed.
Lang Qing was gone for a long time and didn"t come back until the sky was completely dark. When he returned there was an additional herb in his hands. He gave it to Chen Liguo for him to eat.
Chen Liguo asked, "What is this?"
Lang Qing said, "It"s antidiarrheal. Doesn"t your stomach feel unwell?" His little priest looked so beautiful under the orange glow of the fire that he couldn"t help but lean over and kiss the corner of his mouth.
The little priest blushed, but this time he did not evade him.
Lang Qing"s heart jerked. He joked, "Want to do it?"
Lang Qing originally thought that the little priest would ignore him and didn"t expect that the little priest would actually nod his head.
Was the sun coming out from the west? Lang Qing"s heart was wild with joy but he suppressed his inner longing. He said, "We had better forget it. We still need to hurry on the journey the next few days, you don"t have enough physical strength."
Chen Liguo couldn"t tell if he should be happy or disappointed.
Lang Qing reached out and held Chen Liguo in his arms. The two slept on Gunzi"s back and sunk into dreamland.
When they set out the next morning Lang Qing carried the package on his back.
Chen Liguo watched on quietly and did not stop him.
While Lang Qing wasn"t paying attention Fu Die gave Chen Liguo a meaningful glance.
Chen Liguo nodded slightly.
Only then did Fu Die show a smile.
Chen Liguo once again deeply felt Fu Die"s desire for Lang Qing to die……
At this time Lang Qing still didn"t know that his little slave and Fu Die had gotten together to scheme against him. He expressionlessly continued on the road with the troops.
They needed to pa.s.s through a rather dangerous part of the forest today. This forest had a lot of bottomless pits and strange plants.
Fu Die was relying on these pits and plants to get rid of Lang Qing.
The powder she gave Chen Liguo was the pollen from a certain type of plant. Although it was called a plant it had the characteristics of animals. That is, they could move. Moreover, the pistils are extremely sensitive to pollen and so long as they could sense it, they would directly approach it. Then they would directly roll up the stamen and stuff them into their pistils.
Fu Die had scouted the route here before, so she knew how the plants growing in the pits would react when they encountered Lang Qing who was covered with pollen.
When they were about to enter this part of the journey Fu Die strongly asked that Chen Liguo rode on her mount.
Naturally, Lang Qing did not agree. However, Fu Die said, "I just want to talk with Zhi Shui. You"ve stuck to him for several days now! It"s not like he"ll run away!"
Lang Qing refused, "Not allowed!"
Fu Die angrily said, "Being so sticky, Zhi Shui will lose interest in you sooner or later!"
Lang Qing"s brows creased. "Zhi Shui, do you want to go?"
In the end, Chen Liguo nodded.
Lang Qing rubbed his head and sighed, "Go ahead."
As soon as he finished talking Fu Die asked her mount to bring Chen Liguo over.
Chen Liguo was sitting on Gunzi in front of Lang Qing and thought that he would sit in front of Fu Die when he got there. However, he didn"t expect that Fu Die would hold him like a chicken before putting him in front of her, even happily saying, "Zhi Shui you"re too cute."
Chen Liguo: "……" If you say this of me I"ll be unhappy.
Now that Chen Liguo was on her mount Fu Die could move freely. Everyone slowly entered the forest and Chen Liguo"s heart tensed up.
Chen Liguo knew that Fu Die was nervous as well because he could feel Fu Die hold him much tighter. Fu Die followed behind Lang Qing, watching him enter into the depths of the jungle step by step.
The change was instant. Countless vines suddenly rose from the underbrush and rushed towards Lang Qing.
In a moment of inattentiveness Lang Qing was wrapped up and his entire person was sent into the air.
Fu Die rejoiced upon seeing this. She directly jumped up from her mount and ran towards Lang Qing.
Lang Qing originally thought that Fu Die was coming to help him but when she coldly smiled and raised the explosive in her hand Lang Qing instantly understood what was going on.
He coldly said, "You did this?"
Fu Die laughed and said, "Yes, it was me. You didn"t expect that there would be such a day did you!"
Lang Qing asked, "Zhi Shui also knew of your plan?"
Fu Die turned her head to look at Chen Liguo and then said, "Does this matter? You"re going to die anyway. Now let me send you on your journey." She coldly stared at Lang Qing and then threw the bomb in her hand at him.
Although this bomb was rudimentary, it was more than enough to kill a single person. Lang Qing was no more that a human being and Fu Die could easily destroy him with confidence.
Lang Qing constantly struggled but the vines seemed to be insane and trapped him. His gaze pa.s.sed straight through Fu Die and fell on Chen Liguo.
Before the bomb went off, Lang Qing"s last words were, "Zhi Shui, did you know she wanted to kill me?"
Chen Liguo could not answer this question, so he slowly looked away.
Lang Qing"s originally bright eyes gradually dimmed, knowing that Zhi Shui"s silence was the answer to his question.
With a loud bang, smoke arose. Gunzi"s hearing that was already very sharp was stimulated by the sound. It let out a screech-like meow and actually directly abandoned Lang Qing and ran away——
Fu Die did not care about Gunzi. Her cheeks were gashed by the bomb"s shrapnel but her eyes were still firmly staring at where Lang Qing was.
The people behind Lang Qing and Fu Die didn"t know what was going on and the loud noise raised panic amongst their ranks.
However, Fu Die did not rush to appease them. She quietly waited for the smoke to disperse.
The scene gradually cleared up. There was no body on the ground and only a large amount of blood. A few pieces of pulpy meat could be seen as well. Fu Die bent down and picked up a dagger that Lang Qing had dropped. She wiped the dagger and smoothly put it away.
As Chen Liguo watched Lang Qing die, his mood was a little indescribable. Fu Die called him several times before his soul finally returned to him.
"Zhi Shui! Zhi Shui!" Fu Die saw that Chen Liguo seemed to be scared silly and patted his face with a little worry. She asked, "What"s wrong? Scared?"
Chen Liguo looked at Fu Die and then looked at where Lang Qing had disappeared. He asked, "Lang Qing died?"
Fu Die answered, "En." The blood proved that Lang Qing was definitely seriously injured. As for the corpse, it might have been directly pulled into the pit by the vines. Even if the injured Lang Qing wasn"t dead, with the pollen on his body the vines would never leave him alone.
Chen Liguo forced a smile and said, "So, so suddenly ah."
Fu Die was a little distressed from seeing his expression and hugged him. She said, "Everything is over Zhi Shui, you"re free."
Chen Liguo didn"t move and let Fu Die hold him.
By now the panic in the team had reached its peak and warriors from Lang Qing"s tribe started asking Fu Die what had happened.
Fu Die coldly said, "Did you not hear that sound just now? That was the sound of your chief being taken away by G.o.d after angering them!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
Some naturally didn"t believe it and said that Fu Die must be lying.
However, Fu Die said, "Lie? Even I was almost subjected to G.o.d"s anger venting on me——Whoever has any objections, you can come forward!"
When her words fell several warriors directly stepped forward from the ranks.
Fu Die stared at the few people with impertinent looks and with a sneer, patted her mounts head. After Fu Die"s mount received the order, the black snake actually stretched out its neck and directly swallowed the dissenting men in a single bite.
Chen Liguo was still sitting on the black snake. It was his first time seeing Fu Die personally killing people and his whole body froze.
Fu Die sensed Chen Liguo"s stiffness and gently said, "Zhi Shui, don"t be afraid, I won"t hurt you……" Her att.i.tude towards Zhi Shui and her att.i.tude towards others was simply the difference between heaven and h.e.l.l.
Chen Liguo smiled with difficulty. "En."
Fu Die didn"t want to kill people in front of Chen Liguo either but establishing her power right after Lang Qing"s death was the most effective way. She looked at the people who were as silent as cicadas in cold weather and indifferently asked, "Is there anyone else who has any objections?"
No one spoke.
Fu Die said, "No objection? Then return."
The team was still quiet. No one dared to challenge Fu Die. The purpose of the expedition was achieved, so Fu Die nah no intention of advancing forward at all.
The most important thing now was to go back and absorb Lang Qing"s tribe.
Fu Die calculated what needed to be done next and didn"t notice that Chen Liguo"s expression was a little ugly. Fu Die felt that her biggest obstacle had been removed. She had saved Zhi Shui from Lang Qing"s hand and didn"t need to worry about Zhi Shui being bullied by Lang Qing again. She could also take over Lang Qing"s tribe and use its fighting power to continue expand her territory……
Chen Liguo watched as the destiny completion degree on Fu Die"s head rose by more than ten points, exactly as he had speculated. He should have been happy but he couldn"t even muster a smile. All that filled his mind was Lang Qing"s look before he died.
The entire tribe hurried on the journey until it was time to rest at night.
When everyone sat by the fire and were roasting duck Fu Die finally realized that Chen Liguo was out of spirits.
She asked, "Zhi Shui, are you uncomfortable?"
Chen Liguo said, "I"m okay."
Fu Die looked at him. She furrowed her brows and reached out to feel his forehead. As soon as the back of her hand touched him she knew that things were not good.
Chen Liguo"s forehead was extremely hot. When she carefully looked at his face she found that his entire face was burning red.
Fu Die frighteningly exclaimed, "You have a fever!"
Chen Liguo reached out and felt himself. "Ai, you"re right."
In this era the highest mortality rate was due to fevers. There were no effective medicines and only physical cooling could be used. The rest was left to fate.
Especially this kind of inexplicable fever that Chen Liguo had was extremely dangerous. It made Fu Die"s heart immediately hang up in worry.
She quickly took water from her bag and put it on Chen Liguo"s forehead to cool him down.
Chen Liguo was a little more comfortable and softly hummed.
Fu Die let Chen Liguo lean into her arms. She touched Chen Liguo"s hair and gloomily said, "Zhi Shui, is it because you got frightened by what had happened in the morning? Sorry, I shouldn"t have done it in front of you."
Chen Liguo said, "It"s fine, I"m fine."
Fu Die said, "But Lang Qing is already dead. When we go back I"ll kill the priest and merge the tribes. You will be the only priest."
Chen Liguo didn"t make a sound.
Fu Die looked even more sad. She asked, "Zhi Shui, why are you unhappy?"
Chen Liguo thought, yeah, why am I, not happy? I should be……. very happy, but how come the tears——won"t stop?
