Chapter 257 A Good Start

Showing strength has two great benefits. One is that it can increase the confidence of subordinates and enhance fighting spirit and loyalty. Second, by demonstrating strength, potential opponents can be deterred from difficulties and avoid a lot of unnecessary provocations and harassment.

The only shortcoming is that it cannot satisfy false vanity. Since ancient times, many people have deliberately hidden their strength and deliberately pursued a low profile in order to lure potential opponents to come and provoke attacks, and then show their strength and give them a head-on attack, in order to obtain the satisfaction of their vanity. . In fact, this is a very stupid behavior, because any provocation and attack by the opponent will bring losses to yourself. Even if you repel the opponent, you will suffer more or less losses. You will satisfy your false vanity at the expense of your own losses. It is very impractical and the gain outweighs the loss.

As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark. If you don't want to fight, just show your teeth early and let the other person retreat. If you really want to fight, take the initiative and strike first.

In fact, there are also great disadvantages in showing strength too early, that is, it is easy to attract the attention of opponents. Everyone knows the principle of raising a tiger to make trouble, and also understands the principle of nipping it in the bud, but he has been exposed long ago, and there is nothing like it. The reincarnation of the golden dragon makes opponents even more afraid. Even this has been exposed. What else is there to worry about? Even if he lowers his head and pretends to be a grandson, the opponent will not let him go. If he can bombard him, he will definitely not hit him with a gun. It doesn't matter, just do whatever is beneficial to you.

Seeing him and Jiang Dahua drinking three large bowls in a row, all the warriors admired his boldness and came up to toast one after another. Wu Zhongyuan relied on his good ability to drink and did not refuse. If anyone came to toast, he would drink a bowl. If you don’t drink, you won’t be respected by anyone. If you drink with Jiang Dahua, if you don’t drink with the people below, you will look down on them.

Although the alcohol content of the wine at this time is not high, it is still much higher than that of beer. The most important thing is that the current brewing technology is not very good, the wine is not good, and you get drunk after drinking too much. I was thinking of drinking dozens of bowls. Question, but after drinking more than a dozen bowls, I felt a little dizzy, but there was no turning back, so I kept on drinking. In the end, I really couldn’t do anything, so I just imitated the Liangshan hero, drank half a bowl and sprinkled half a bowl. This is not called cheating, this is called generous.

In the end, I was so drunk that my legs and feet became weak and the world was spinning.

Seeing that he was drunk, everyone stopped drinking, and Jiang Dahua and another warrior helped him to his residence.

At this time, it was very common to send a young woman to serve the distinguished guest. However, Jiang Dahua and others knew about his relationship with Jiang Nan, so they did not send a young woman for fear of offending Jiang Nan. Instead, they sent an old woman to serve him. In fact, it was not She is not an old woman, she is only in her thirties, but the living conditions at this time were very difficult and everyone looked older.

In Wu Zhongyuan's memory, he seems to have never been drunk. The feeling of being drunk is really not good. Drunk is actually a nice word. To put it bluntly, it means that he has been poisoned by alcohol. Although he has spiritual energy cultivation now, It was not enough to use spiritual energy to completely resolve the alcohol odor, so I could only grit my teeth and hold on. After drinking a lot of wine, I felt bloated, but I couldn't vomit yet. It wasn't that I couldn't vomit, but I was embarrassed to vomit. Vomiting after drinking was like not drinking at all. , if Jiang Dahua and others knew about it, they would despise him.

If it were in modern times, he would have gone to the hospital for infusion, but he definitely didn't have the conditions at this time. In desperation, he asked his old lady to go down and help prepare two pairs of hangover medicines, one made of tangerine peel boiled with mung beans, and the other made of raw radish juice and Sucrose, these two prescriptions have miraculous effects in curing hangovers. He saw it from the medical experience left by his master. The taboo for curing hangovers is vinegar. Vinegar is actually wine that has failed to be brewed. Drinking vinegar to cure hangovers is like Use diesel to try to douse the burning gasoline.

There was no sucrose at this time, so in the end the old lady only brought tangerine peel and mung bean water. Wu Zhongyuan got up and drank it, then went out to pee, and felt much better when he came back.

"Go back to sleep, don't stand here." Wu Zhongyuan said to the old woman standing at the door.

The old woman raised her head and glanced at him without moving.

Wu Zhongyuan had never looked at her before, but when he looked at her this time, he felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this woman before.

Feeling confused, he looked carefully, but the prerequisite for focusing was a clear mind. Now his eyes were drunk and hazy, and his vision was not only blurred, but also had a bit of double shadow, so he pulled the woman towards the table with lamps and candles. .

The woman didn't know why and resisted and struggled.

But she was not as strong as Wu Zhongyuan. When she arrived at the table, Wu Zhongyuan looked at her carefully by the light of the candle and found that she looked very familiar.

I tried hard to remember, but I couldn't remember where I had seen this woman before. I was wondering when I suddenly noticed the woman's clothes. This woman was very frugal in her clothes. To say that they were frugal was actually an exaggeration. In fact, the clothes were very shabby, but she was very simple. tidy.

The woman's clothing indicated that she was of low status and was probably a slave.

In current terms, the three tribes are now in the transition stage from primitive society to slave society. All three tribes plunder and use slaves. This situation is more common among the Ox Tribe and the Bird Tribe, because these two tribes are stronger. , usually belong to the victorious side in a war, and war is the main way to obtain slaves.

"What's your name?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The woman lowered her head and said nothing.

"Raise your head." Wu Zhongyuan said seriously.

The woman did not dare not to raise her head, but she did not want to. She moved but still lowered her head.

Wu Zhongyuan looked at this person again. He was not good-looking, but not ugly either. In today's terms, he was a good-looking person. His facial features did not have obvious features, his outline was soft, and his skin tone was dark.

Noticing that her skin color was darker, a person suddenly appeared in Wu Zhongyuan's mind. Comparing the two, the more he looked at her, the more he looked at her.

When he went out to pee, he left the door open when he came back. Wu Zhongyuan went to the door and closed it before confirming.

The woman didn't know what he wanted to do. When he closed the door, a complex expression of fear and sorrow appeared on her face.

"Are you from the Bear Clan?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in a low voice.

Hearing his serious tone, the woman vaguely felt that she might have misunderstood him, and looked at Wu Zhongyuan in confusion.

"Did you originally live in Daqiu?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The woman still didn't speak, but her mental quality was not good. From her expression, Wu Zhongyuan knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Do you know A Luo?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in a low voice.

The woman's expression changed drastically and she looked at him in shock.

"Are you A Luo's mother?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again. A Luo once said that her mother was abducted by the Niu tribe many years ago. The last time they separated from the cave, A Luo also went to the Niu tribe to look for her. Mother's.

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, the woman burst into tears and nodded repeatedly.

"Don't cry," Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly comforted, "Aluo and I are good friends. I will take you back to the Bear Clan tomorrow."

The woman was filled with sorrow and joy, and burst into tears. She fell to her knees and wanted to kowtow to him to thank him.

Before the woman could kneel down, Wu Zhongyuan grabbed her. Seeing that she had not spoken, he suspected that she was mute. But after thinking about it again, no, ten deaf people are ten mute, and ten mute nine are deaf. This person can Hear the sound, why can't you speak.

"Why don't you speak?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The woman raised her hand to wipe away the tears with her sleeve, and then opened her mouth.

When she opened her mouth, Wu Zhongyuan began to frown, but when he saw the situation in the woman's mouth clearly, he found that his guess was not entirely correct. Only half of the woman's tongue was left, but the stubble was not broken. It was neat, it wasn't cut off by someone, it should have been bitten off by herself.

"Did you bite it yourself?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The woman nodded, then wiped her tears again.

"Who told you that biting off the tongue can kill someone?" Wu Zhongyuan sighed longly. Women are weak. They have been weak since ancient times. Everyone can imagine what will happen to a female slave. Men are naturally aggressive, but Most men don't use their aggression to protect the weak.

Seeing him sigh, the woman looked at him with a mixture of doubt and anxiety.

Wu Zhongyuan understood the look in her eyes and said sternly, "Don't worry, I have the final say here. I will definitely take you away tomorrow."

The woman nodded repeatedly.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "Who hurt you in the first place? Can you still find him? If possible, I will help you kill him before leaving."

The woman was anxious and nervous.

Wu Zhongyuan smiled and waved his hand, "You don't have to be nervous or afraid. You just need to point out the people who have hurt you. I will ask the city lord Jiang Dahua to kill them. Kill one by one and kill ten by ten."

The woman shook her head, then waved her hands.

Wu Zhongyuan did not force her. To be truly good to someone is not to do what you want to do, but to do what the other person wants to do. Since she does not want revenge, there is no need to force her.

Even after drinking tangerine peel and mung bean water, Wu Zhongyuan couldn't completely relieve the hangover. Wu Zhongyuan was a little drunk and sleepy, so he didn't say anything more to her. He originally wanted her to go back to rest, but thought about it and gave up. She was now nervous, frightened, and excited. , even if she were to go back, she wouldn't be able to sleep, and other accidents might happen, so just let her stay in the house.

Wu Zhongyuan walked to the bed and lay down undressed, "Has A Luo looked for you?"

The woman shook her head.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't know where the little thing had gone. Aluo had never traveled far before, so he was very worried about being alone.

Drinking too much wine will cause a fever, so I didn't sleep well that night. When I got up early the next day, Wu Zhongyuan ordered someone to call Jiang Dahua and told her that this woman was very good at serving others and that he would take her away.

Jiang Dahua naturally would not disagree, could not disagree, and did not dare to disagree, because although the three walled cities of the Niu Clan were under her jurisdiction, Wu Zhongyuan was the real master.

Wu Zhongyuan then handed the cloth with Dasha's venom to Jiang Dahua and asked her to find someone to help prepare the antidote.

After doing this, Wu Zhongyuan contacted Dasha and asked Dasha to come to meet him. He wanted to take Aluo's mother away and needed a mount.

While waiting for Dasha to arrive, Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to have breakfast. Jiang Dahua sat beside her, but Wu Zhongyuan did not make any demands or give instructions to her. In fact, it is not difficult to be a leader. You just need to be aware of it. If people are well-empowered, everything will be fine. They must dare to delegate power and interfere less. The more leaders delegate power, the greater the pressure on subordinates and the stronger their subjective initiative.

The arrival of Dasha once again caused a sensation. What happened to the dung beetle? Let alone the dung beetle, the fly is also majestic when it is big.

Everyone has their own personality traits. Jiang Dahua is upright and stubborn, and loves great achievements. But this person is very loyal. Before leaving, he gave Wu Zhongyuan two Qi-enhancing elixirs, one purple and one dark purple, and asked him to give them to Wu Qin. and Li Wanzi.

Jiang Dahua's move made Wu Zhongyuan feel good. A good start is half the success. What he was most worried about was the disagreement between the three of them. At present, it seemed that his worries were unnecessary.

A Luo's mother had never seen a behemoth like Dasha, but she didn't even dare to get close, let alone ride on it. In desperation, Wu Zhongyuan could only cover her eyes.

Dasha fluttered his wings and flew eastward, carrying the two of them as Jiang Dahua and others looked up.

After leaving Gushan, Wu Zhongyuan God taught Dasha to return to his residence. It was not an option to be separated from Dasha all the time. He had to dig out the meteorite, bring it to Jiu Mu and ask craftsmen to try to melt it. If it could really be melted, he and Dasha would build armor to protect him. It is important and can be carried with you at the same time...
