"Elder Muba, I understand what you mean, but the current situation is, I can only watch the threat of war grows and becomes greater and greater. I want to stop it but have no choice but to know what war means to the grassland.
What does this country mean? Our power is so small that it is insignificant that we can only watch the war move towards us step by step, but we can do nothing and do nothing.
...I was so breathless." Zhou Jiping conflated his inner disappointment and helplessness to Elder Muba
"I know, Zhou Ke, if you think about it, if someone else is in your position, will he definitely do better than you? You unified the grassland in a non-war way and won the trust of the tribes in the grassland.
You were the first to propose the concept of the Southern Tribal Alliance. Now the entire southern part of Montaya is integrated. This is unprecedented. The current tribal area is no longer a tribal area that was once a mess. Even if there is another war, I have it.
Reasons believe that the tribal area will do much better than nine years ago, and this is all the changes you brought." Elder Muba had a high evaluation of Zhou Jiping, and wanted to use this to reverse Zhou Jiping's pessimism.
"But what can this be done? We still can't stop the war. We can only watch it rush towards us like a crazy elephant. We seem to have no other way except waiting for it to step on us." Zhou Jiping looked up at the sky
Sighing, but not knowing that I have been captured by pessimism. "I have tried almost all the ways - to make friends with the north, win over, tempt, find a backer... But what about it in the end? It's still such a disgraceful
result"
"Zhou! Wake up! I still can't get out of my psychological shadow when I see Zhou Jiping." Elder Muba suddenly shouted: "If we can do everything well, is Africa still the poorest place in the world? And those
Compared with a strong country, a rich country, and a big country, what do we have? What can we give?
Zhou Jiping was stopped by Elder Muba. After a moment of pause, Elder Muba said: "We have nothing. In addition to using all our minds, we also have to pay blood and life. This is ours.
Destiny! There is no other way. I have read the history of China's revolution. Didn't your country be bullied by those big and powerful countries decades ago? Didn't it come all the way through blood?"
Zhou Jiping was somewhat awake by the snatch of Elder Muba, and he realized from his dark state of mind that many Elder Muba saw that the time had come, so he pointed to the vast sea at the bow of the boat and continued: "You only know
Looking up, there was nothing but the vast sea. Of course, you were in a bad mood, but you looked back and saw what was different there?"
Zhou Jiping looked back at the stern with Elder Muba's fingers - but except for the white lang at the stern, it was no different from the bow.
"Did you see it?" Elder Muba asked Zhou Jiping and said
"Nothing except langhua?" Zhou Jiping said murmuredly, not knowing what Elder Muba wants him to see
"You have too many chores and chaotic things in your heart, and you can't even see those seagulls?" Elder Muba rebuked.
Zhou Jiping's heart roared loudly, Yes, Elder Muba's words were like a case in Zen Buddhism - he was like the questioner who pretended to be knowledgeable, and did not pour out the things in his stomach.
How can I ask the masters? Now that I have so many things in my mind and can’t let it go, how can I make an accurate decision?
Elder Muba didn't know that these few words were inconsistent with the philosophical thoughts of the East, nor did he know that Zhou Jiping had already awakened, and continued to follow his own ideas: "Look at the seagulls who were fishing and eating in the langhua at the stern of the boat.
, Whether compared with the sea or the vast sky, they are really weak, but they can learn to fish and eat in the lang flowers raised by ships. What is this? This is survival.
In order to survive, they must learn how to deal with powerful opponents and how to use all the powers that can be used to think about us. Isn’t that the same? Although we are in trouble now, it just means that we have not done it yet, or the direction
If there are any mistakes, as long as we continue to work hard, we will definitely find a way out..."
When Elder Muba said such meaningful and philosophical words, Zhou Jiping couldn't help but admire the old man's a little annoyed and depressed mood, and gradually calmed down.
Indeed, it is inevitable that there will be some difficulties and unsatisfactions in life. If you bury yourself in the mood of failure all day long and let your melancholy thoughts control yourself, then Zhou Jiping, who can't let go of his burden and go into battle lightly, know that he will face it.
The most important thing I should do in front of me is to distinguish the situation in front of me and find a way to deal with it as soon as possible to face the difficulties, rather than being as worried as Lin Daiyu
There is a saying in China that although it is vulgar, there is some truth: life is like rape. If you are powerless to resist, then close your eyes and enjoy it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jiping relaxed some thoughts and barely changed into a smile to Elder Muba and said, "Thank you, Elder Muba, I understand what you mean. I will adjust my emotions well. Please rest assured.
”
Seeing that Zhou Jiping's mood had changed, Elder Muba also felt a little relieved. When the old man wanted to say a few more words, one of the elder's followers came over with a satellite phone: "Elder, Zorick's phone number, he
Say something urgent"
Oh? Zhou Jiping and Elder Muba were stunned at the same time. Zorick's phone number? What urgent matters will be there for this Bushman's supreme military commander? For a moment, Elder Muba, who just hoped that Zhou Jiping would cheer up, would fall down by himself.
I've started thinking about it first
Elder Muba went to answer the phone, while Zhou Jiping looked at the seagulls following the stern of the boat and rushed into the lang flowers and flapping their wings again.
Just as he was ecstatic, Elder Muba, who was calling on the other side, yelled at the phone, and the voice became louder and louder, and his emotions became more and more excited. Now both sides are in the Southern Tribal Alliance, Elder Muba has not called.
It is too taboo to Zhou Jiping. The distance between the two is not far. Under the influence of the sound of the sea, Zhou Jiping could only hear the old man shouting loudly at the other end of the phone: "What are you doing for? You're just calling now
The phone call? Why don’t you stop him?”

Zhou Jiping: Lao Ben, wake up. I haven’t finished writing six thousand today, and I’m dreaming again?
