Chapter 126 I can’t keep up with nutrition (please vote for me!)
He is not the fourth brother Lou Di, and Ma Di wants to borrow his food?
Hum hum.
There is no crack in the door!
When he went down to meet Ma Su, Lou Ban curled his lips, feeling quite disdainful of him.
He knew that Ma Di was leading tens of thousands of people to build roads for the barbarians, and the demand for food was huge.
Building roads is indeed a good thing that benefits barbarians and people.
But is that none of his business?
He's not the only beneficiary.
Why should he be asked to contribute food?
Therefore, when he came to Ma Di, Lou had a straight face and an extremely cold tone: "Master Ma, there is no need to say anything. There is no surplus food in my tribe, so you should look elsewhere!"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Leader Lou misunderstood. Ma is not here to borrow food this time." Ma Di laughed and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Really?" Lou Ban looked Ma Su up and down with doubt in his eyes.
"Then what are you doing?"
Ma Su gave up his position, pushed the Qiang girl out from behind, pulled off the veil, and said with a smile: "Chief Lou, let's see if this girl is beautiful?"
This girl is so beautiful that my sword is not bad at all!
The moment he saw the true appearance of the Qiang girl, Lou Ban's eyes widened immediately, and he couldn't look away. Suddenly, he felt that his old heart, which had been silent for forty years, suddenly came alive and was ready to move.
I can't help but think of the scene when I was eighteen years old, playing with the most beautiful girl in the tribe in the sunset...
It was a throbbing that he would never forget.
Half an hour later.
Watching the tribe's 5,000 young men driving oxen and pulling carts, loaded with food, Lou Ban, whose mind was filled with thoughts of "big, white and beautiful", rubbed his head and felt a sudden wave of sleepiness. He turned over and fell to the ground.
Falling asleep on the ground.
This dream was particularly ecstatic.
Lou Ban dreamed of all the hot scenes that any man in his restless teenage years would dream of.
…
After the young men of the Loudi tribe delivered the grain to the road construction site eighty miles away to the east, they reluctantly said goodbye to the Qiang women, whistling, and left in twos and threes.
They all saw the true appearance of the Qiang girl and felt that the 20,000 shi of grain should be given away.
Even if it's just for Bo Jiaren to smile, it's worth it.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
After receiving an additional 20,000 shi of grain, the migrant workers became enthusiastic and started working even more enthusiastically.
The road advanced a long way, and when we were only three hundred miles away from Yongchang County.
Food has bottomed out again.
This time Ma Di changed his approach and led the Qiang women to visit Lao Wu Loushan and Lao Er Louding one by one, and successfully "borrowed" 40,000 shi of grain.
It's June 29th.
Just when Ma Su was about to visit Lou Fang, Lou Fang led a thousand young men and sent 5,000 stones of grain.
Ma Su received him warmly.
Lou Fang raised his hands and said with a sincere face: "Although my tribe has little food, but I am willing to contribute to your great cause, these grains will be treated as gifts to you and there is no need to return them."
"Farewell, farewell!"
"My lord, please stay!"
The people left the food behind, and Lou Fang did not dare to stay for a moment, so he led the people to leave quickly.
He finally understood that instead of waiting for Ma Su to come to ask for it and leave a verbal IOU, he might as well deliver the food himself.
This will save at least fifteen thousand stone grain.
Although he didn't know what was wrong with his four younger brothers, they had the attitude of throwing away the pot whenever they disagreed, and supporting road construction even if they couldn't survive...
Make him feel scared.
So he decided to cut off the strong man's wrist.
Ma Su knew that the five thousand shi of grain sent by Lou Fang was actually the batch he purchased from the system.
In other words, there is still food in the Loufang tribe.
However, since he took the initiative to send food, I will not "borrow" it for the time being.
Wait and see.
It has to be said that after having an extra 45,000 shi of food all of a sudden, the migrant workers became even more motivated.
The aorta also advances faster.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of July, just when the food was about to be exhausted, the artery-level highway from Jianning to Yongchang was successfully completed.
Ma Su looked at this spacious national highway with joy and a sense of accomplishment. Although this road was only equivalent to the two-way four-carriage, ordinary cement road at the township level in later generations.
But in this era, it is undoubtedly the highest-standard Tongtian Avenue.
Outside Yongchang City, a huge cocktail party was being held next to a temporary high platform. Ma Su and the Qiang girls greeted and escorted them off in front of the stage.
Under the leadership of the Yongchang prefect and under the control of Ma Su, all officials from Yongchang and all the local dignitaries and leaders were invited to attend the meeting. The five brothers of the Lou family were also invited.
During the dinner, Ma Di gave a brief and impassioned speech, thanking people from all walks of life for their support for the court's road construction, and specifically commended the five brothers of the Lou family for their generous donation of money.
At the end, he thanked people from all walks of life one by one and stated that he would lead the engineering team to the next construction site in the near future.
As soon as everyone in the gathering heard that Ma Su, the god of food-devouring plagues, was leaving, they immediately responded with warm and lasting applause.
This is great news for them.
At the end of his speech, Ma Su invited Lou Fang, the eldest son of the Lou family, to speak on stage and talk about his feelings.
Lou Fang slowly stood up from the table. Under the admiring eyes of everyone and the four brothers, he walked up to the high platform. When he passed by Ma Su, he saw him slowly pulling off the Qiang girl's veil, giving him a look, and then putting it back on.
What a strange Mr. Ma!
Lou Fang was suddenly startled, shook his head, walked up to the middle of the high platform, and began to talk.
In the audience, the four brothers looked at each other with emotion:
As expected of a big brother!
They both donated food and were born to the same parents, but the eldest brother is much better than them.
Not only did he donate 15,000 shi less in food, but he also received the greatest credit and prestige.
In front of the wise elder brother, the four of them are younger brothers.
On the stage, Lou Fang was still talking.
"Main roads must be repaired at any time. If they are not repaired, they will not work! Think about it, you and your wife were riding out of the city in a carriage, eating steamed buns and singing songs, and suddenly you were thrown into a ditch."
"So, a good day is a day when there is a road!"
"Therefore, Lou decided to donate another 20,000 shi of grain to Madam Ma for road construction! Although these grains are the last food in my tribe... However, Lou believes that food can be eaten but the road must be repaired!"
"..."
The four brothers in the audience looked at each other, and suddenly felt the previous comments about their eldest brother...
A little sloppy.
The speech lasted for more than half an hour, and Ma Di finally made a concluding speech. After relaying the praises of the empress and the prime minister to the other four brothers of the Lou family, the attitude of the four brothers became obviously much more respectful.
However, both parties wisely said nothing more, just bowed their hands to each other, and left.
There was no mention of repaying the grain.
After working hard for most of the day, Ma Su rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little tired. I don't know whether it was because the Shu Han's control over Nanzhong was too weak, or because the Southern Barbarians were not convinced by the king. The leaders and cave masters who came today all had strong expressions in their eyes.
The wariness, this kind of alienation and estrangement from the spiritual level makes it difficult for people to get closer to them.
Just after seeing off the five Lou brothers, a group of cave masters came over. The leader took his leave. Ma Su quickly handed over to everyone one by one, exchanged polite greetings, and then sent them away.
People came and left in batches. Although Ma Su and the Qiang girls worked very quickly, they didn't finish their work until the sun turned west and saw everyone off.
The sky quickly darkened.
Ma Di took the Qiang girls into a high-end suite arranged by the Yongchang prefect.
Women live inside and men live outside.
Just as he was getting ready to sleep, the door to the inner room was suddenly pushed open, and a Qiang girl came out wearing unrestrained barbarian costumes.
Ma Di looked up, his nosebleed almost spurted out, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Great wizard, don't dress like this, I won't be able to keep up with my nutrition."
"Hurry up and change your clothes..."
The Qiang girl hesitated for a while, and finally went to the back room to change into a set of conservative clothes. When she came out, she said to Ai Ai: "General, Xiao Wu wants to ask you something."
"Loved me!" Ma Su blurted out.
The Qiang girl chuckled, shook her head and said, "No, what Xiao Wu wants to ask is why they all become... so childish and impulsive when they see my face."
"And General, you can't?"
Why not? I didn't let you see it when I was impulsive, so Ma Su remained silent.
"Also, why do they get bad luck if they touch me? Very bad luck. But General, you won't?"
Why not?
When I rolled down the mountain, I almost rolled off the earth, okay?
Ma Di looked at the Qiang girl speechlessly, and patiently explained: "Everyone has this love for beauty. When every normal man sees a beautiful woman like you, the great wizard, his blood pressure will rise, his intelligence will drop, and he will only
Act on instinct.”
"Instinct will drive them to do things that seem incredible but are natural."
This is how dog licking comes about.
Ma Su thought for a while, then changed his angle and faced the Qiang girl: "Have you heard of King You of Zhou? He smiled for Mrs. Bo and did not hesitate to play with the princes..."
Then General, why don't you have instinct?
The Qiang girl nodded: "King Zhou You must love his wife very much..."
"..."
Ma Su suddenly felt that he should not be timid or afraid. He was so powerful, so he should be afraid of the woman opposite him.
So he patted the bed board: "In that case, you can sleep outside tonight.
"Let's show off our arms!"
These words had a huge hint effect, and the Qiang girl's eyes suddenly panicked, and she almost wanted to run away through the door.
However, Ma Su grabbed her hand and failed. Then she suddenly remembered that in the two previous night attacks in Lingqiang, the gangsters were very powerful and this joke could not be made casually.
The Qiang girl lowered her head and saw that she had been thrown on the bed.
Then his eyes became even more panicked.
Although there is still joy in my heart, fear occupies a greater proportion.
She hesitated for a moment and slowly closed her eyes. She originally planned to stay in the outhouse tonight no matter what, even if she had to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, she still wanted to keep Ma Su in her pocket.
They Qiang women have dared to love and hate since they were young. They will never procrastinate when they meet the person they like.
But when things came to an end, the strong and determined confidence that Ma Di had to be taken down suddenly disappeared without a trace.
So she became timid and flinched. Under Ma Su's bright gaze, she kept retreating and retreated to a corner, shrinking into a small ball and shivering.
Then I saw Ma Su walking out, entering the inner room, and closing the door.
