Chapter 44 The Beast in the Cell(1/2)
I have faced brutal beasts in the wilderness countless times. Not to mention the lives taken away with bullets, I have killed hundreds of beasts with my bare hands alone. I have already developed a strong heart. Even so.
Facing this unknown creature, my scalp couldn't help but feel numb, and I was constantly trying to determine what kind of animal was on the other side.
If I knew it was a pig, a dog or a coyote, it would be a simple matter. However, the darkness in the cell was terrible. I could only vaguely see a shadow. People's fear often comes from the unknown.
of.
I also grabbed the cell door, stood up straight, glared at the ferocious beast opposite, and responded to it with the same low growl, telling it that I was also strong and not afraid of it at all. This is my experience in facing ferocious beasts.
The ferocious beasts in the wasteland will judge whether the opponent is strong or not based on their momentum, eyes, and movements. If there is even the slightest hint of cowardice, they will pounce and bite. By that time, it will be too late to run away.
No one in the world can outrun the predators in the wilderness. Even the stupid-looking wild boar is faster than those athletes at the moment of hunting. If you compete with these beasts for endurance, it is more like a genius.
Big joke.
The beast opposite waved its claws at me, and I wanted to respond in the same way. I just roared twice and suddenly burst into laughter.
It is now locked in a cell, and I am locked in the cell opposite it. No one can get out. One person and one beast are yelling at each other here, but no one can do anything to the other. Isn't it ridiculous?
I said to the beast: "Haha, I'm sleepy, I won't play with you anymore. If you're happy, you can do it yourself!" After that, I went back to the bed and fell asleep.
The beast also made no sound, and after thinking about it, he realized that no matter how hard he was in a cage, it would be useless.
In my daze, I vaguely heard a few calls of cuckoos, two short and one long, echoing leisurely in the hill behind the Governor's Palace.
After about a few minutes, another two short and one long calls came.
I jumped up and stood up. The cuckoo's cry was a code. Could it be that the five falcons were here again? It couldn't be possible. Didn't Wood hand these five over to the police station?
If not them, who could it be?
I had an idea, was it Karl? Karl had also participated in the Great Wolf Mountain operation and understood the secret language of the Five Falcons.
I also told him that I also have a set of code words between myself and Nemo, and we also use the sounds of birds and animals to communicate. We know what kind of birds and animals are on which mountain. We are not in the same mountain. I will communicate with Nemo
We use the common calls of birds and animals in this area to communicate. These calls are mixed with the sounds in nature and are difficult to distinguish. But Nemo and I can, but our set of code words is just to avoid being caught by those who are hunting.
The beasts just discovered it. The really powerful people are the Australian aboriginals. Their language is not very complicated, but during the long-term hunting process, they have invented an extremely complete set of sign language. When approaching the herd of animals, the hunters can no longer pronounce it.
Even when there is little sound, the indigenous people can also communicate with each other through gestures.
At Great Wolf Mountain, I judged that the call of the cuckoo was the secret code of a five falcon. In fact, it was very simple. They had just arrived in Australia and were not familiar with the local conditions. How did they know that there were no cuckoos in the Great Wolf Mountain area?
It’s really funny to imitate the cuckoo call, just like the king in new clothes, running naked on the street in the clothes that he thinks he exists. The five animals really think that they can hide the truth, but they can only deceive themselves, but they can’t deceive them. They live in Australia all year round.
hunters and indigenous people.
Carl is an innocent big boy, hot-blooded and impulsive. He has seen five falcons use cuckoo calls to communicate, and he will definitely find it interesting. He also has no idea if he tries to use cuckoo calls to communicate with me.
But Karl also made the same mistake. The hill behind the Governor's Palace is just a small hill in the center of Bladen. Even if it is lush with trees, cuckoos will not come here to look for food, let alone build a building.
Nested.
So, I ran to the window and responded to Carl with common lark calls, two short and three long. It was really easy for me to learn the calls of these birds.
After a pause, I responded to the call of a lark, and then quietly listened to the sounds outside.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't get a response. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and had to lie back on the bed.
It was quiet outside, without any sound, except for a few dog barks.
I was discouraged and simply curled up to get ready for sleep. The dog that couldn't sleep started barking again, first barking twice, then a long cry. I suddenly slapped my forehead and understood, Karl
It's hard to learn the cuckoo's call. How could he learn the lark's call? But this guy obviously received my secret message. He probably scratched his head and held it in for a long time but couldn't learn the lark's call. He was so angry.
At this time, I could only respond to me with a few barks.
After thinking about this, I suddenly found it interesting. Carl is such a funny guy. I quickly ran to the window and responded again with two short and one long lark calls. Sure enough, there were three more dog calls in response to me, and finally
That long cry almost broke the tone.
I laughed out loud, the voice sounded like a mad dog.
I waited for a long time, but there was no sign of Karl. I thought, yes, Karl was also imprisoned by the Governor. Is he sending this signal to me to save him? Otherwise, why didn't he get there after so long?
Come and save me.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this moment, one of us was locked in a cell and the other in a room. Neither of us could save the other. No matter how many times we learned the barking of dogs and the chirping of birds, it would be useless. I guess Karl also understood this, so he
Stopped barking.
Carl calls the Governor uncle, and the Governor's wife is his mother. Could it be that the relationship between the Governor and his wife is uncle-sister-in-law? Who knows where Carl's biological father is? And that Mayor John's wife is very good to Carl, but she is very kind to the Governor's wife.
It was cold, the Governor and Mayor John didn't say a few words. The relationship between the two brothers was not very good.
There is also Prince Hamid, who is very imposing. As a prince, there is no shortage of women around him, especially beautiful women. But he came all the way to find Piyou. Does he really love Piyou very much? He was furious.
I hit Piyu down, but I threw him to the ground like a sandbag. I originally asked people to rush up, but Chao Guang, who claimed to be the butler, made Hamid calm down with a casual word. How on earth did this happen?
That's right. Chaoguang must have the King of Osman's sword. On the surface, he is accompanying Hamid on his trip, but in fact he has the power to supervise on behalf of the king. Otherwise, Chaoguang could not stop it in time, and this conflict would be
It's inevitable.
Wood was also able to come to the Governor's Mansion to attend the banquet. It seems that this peaceful and honest man is not an ordinary person, at least his status is not low. The Governor transferred the work to his brother, so he should treat him as a token of his courtesy, something like this.
It's just that the Wood father and daughter have never been on good terms. Luna being able to accompany him to the banquet really gave her father a lot of face.
The Tanaka siblings make me even more confused. If he is just the director of the Hokkaido martial arts gym, he will definitely not be invited, unless Mr. Tanaka has other identities.
Today is the first time that I have seen the upper class society, and I have seen such complicated relationships. After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't figure it out. I can only sigh, the upper class is really chaotic.
In the midst of my random thoughts, sleep came over me and I fell asleep unconsciously.
The next day, the chirping of birds woke me up. When I opened my eyes, the sun was already rising outside.
I stretched, climbed up, and looked at the sun outside. It was probably around ten o'clock in the morning.
The beast in the cell opposite was curled up on the wooden bed. Its hair was very long, covering its face, and its skin was purple-black. It was naked except for a skirt woven from rags and leaves and wrapped around its waist to cover its private parts.
.
He looks more like a homeless man than a beast, but from last night to now, he has not been able to say a word, only occasionally letting out low roars.
At this time, four guards walked into the cell and walked to the cell door opposite me. One guard said: "Xiaoman, get up. You have chicken to eat again today."
The beast called Xiaoman got up on the bed, and a soldier knocked on the cell door impatiently with the whip in his hand, "You beast, you are still dragging your feet like this when you have food, hurry up."
The beast jumped off the bed and crawled to the cell door on hands and feet. From its movements, I guessed that it was a giant ape. No wonder it hadn't said a word since last night. I couldn't help but get angry thinking about this.
The governor actually locked me up with the monkeys. What a shame.
The guard laughed and pulled out an iron chain from his waist, "Come here, I will tie the chain on you first to prevent you, the beast, from running away."
Only then did I discover that there was a metal collar in the middle of the giant ape's neck. The collar was golden. Could it be a gold collar? If so, this governor's pet was really luxurious.
The guard fastened the buckle on the chain to the collar, then opened the cell door with the key, and then pulled Xiaoman out. I found that Xiaoman, this giant ape, could actually walk upright. I thought of Darwin's theory of evolution, but it's a pity.
Yeah, if these giant apes were more diligent, they might actually evolve into humans.
When Xiaoman walked out of the cell door, he stopped and looked at me curiously.
The guard next to him slapped him with a whip, "Beast, what are you looking at? Come on, hurry up." Xiaoman let out a scream in his throat. He tensed up and tried to squat down. It was obvious that he was extremely frightened. He was holding the chain.
The guard suddenly pulled the iron chain and pulled Xiaoman's head. The iron chain strangled Xiaoman's face even more purple. He crawled a few steps tightly with his hands and feet, and finally prevented his neck from being strangled anymore, but his mouth kept chewing.
Cough.
In this way, the four guards pulled the giant ape away with chains and whips from behind.
The cell returned to calm. However, my stomach growled with hunger. I patted the cell door and said, "Hey, is there anyone there? I'm hungry, so I have to give me food in prison!"
I kept filming for more than ten minutes, but I didn't get any response. No one came to bring me food or water.
In order to save energy, I had to lie back on the wooden bed.
There were faint noises from the direction of the Governor's Palace. Some were shouting "Bite him", others were shouting "He's eaten", and some women were screaming. I guess these upper-class people were coming.
At the party, I didn't expect that the Governor's Palace was more lively than the brothels and bars on Bladen Street.
Near noon, I finally heard footsteps outside. I ran to the iron window and found Dolly walking over quietly.
She was holding a box in her hand, and as she approached the cell door, Dolly shouted in a voice that she could barely hear: "Bug, are you here?"
I was overjoyed, "Hey, Dolly, where am I?"
Dolly was startled at first, then she calmed down and ran in holding the box when she realized it was me.
"Dolly, why are you here?"
Dolly put the box on the ground and glanced at me through the cell door, "If I didn't come, you would have to eat live food like Xiaoman." Then she opened the box and found two chicken legs inside.
My mouth watered, "Thank you so much, Dolly, you know, I've been so hungry that I've been dizzy for a long time, and my heart is in front of my heart." As I said that, I wiped my hands on my body.
Dolly picked up the box and wanted to pass the box in through the iron railing, but found that the gap in the railing was very small and the box could not get in at all. I said, "Don't move, I will do it myself." Then I stretched out my hand.
Go, pick up a chicken leg, put it in your mouth and eat it.
"Oh, please eat slowly, it's all prepared for you." Dolly said angrily.
"You are a full man but you don't know a hungry man. I didn't eat any meat after roasting it yesterday. I was locked up here all night and the water and rice were not used up. Not to mention such fragrant chicken drumsticks, even if they were raw, I had to eat a lot.
Mouth."
"Haha, then you should keep company with that beast, Xiaoman. He also eats raw meat every day."
