He and It

"Food," Xie Ning said, trying to find a few words in her mind that could be used to communicate, "Go and ask for food."

The servants stopped crying and looked at him in shock.

"I, scrub, cow," Xie Ning pointed to herself, then pointed to the giant in the distance, "request, food, water, reward."

After thinking for a while, he said fluently: "Thank you, I didn't speak well, sorry for the trouble."

The fire ignited by the giant beast shone brightly on the empty underground palace, and not far away stood the huge remnants of the ancient evils. Against this background, the boy's childish pronunciation suddenly had a hint of obscurity and apocalypse. solemn.

The sons of Xothoth all laughed at this young man as a false son of God. Could it be that he really had the ability to get close to those giant beasts?

Servants, you look at me, I look at you, the master died tragically, their following naturally has no value at all, so, for this strange solemnity, they are willing to obey the young man's instructions.

Finally, they selected a companion who was usually shrewd and intelligent and loved by his master. With secret jealousy and hope, they asked him to be the messenger of communication.

"Your request, say it directly," Xie Ning said word by word, instructing the servant who was delivering the message, "Be bold and clear, do you understand?"

With his vocabulary level, others can't hit a fart with three sticks, but he can hit a fart with one stick. If you run directly to find the giant, you will probably end up with the same fate as the first man who was thrown to death.

He followed the servant, and the two supported each other as they fearfully approached the three giants.

Isn't Xie Ning afraid? Of course he is afraid, but no matter how afraid he is, he must make plans for the future. After waiting under the heat of a furnace for a long time, when the water and food are all gone, what can he do to accumulate strength? He has to escape eventually, he can't be stuck here for the rest of his life.

"Great descendants of Gaia!" The servant took courage and shouted tremblingly, "You must know that we are only human beings made of bones and flesh. Without your rock skin and steel arms, if we take care of these fire-burning livestock , just like the white dove blocking the eagle, and the goat going up against the tiger, what is common to you is an incredible feat for us! Therefore, I ask you to be merciful, just like the king rewards them. Hero, if we clean the copper bull and it remains unscathed, can you give us a reward?"

The giants were surprised to hear his purpose.

"There are still people with backbone here, after all, they are not complete cowards!" the giants said one after another, very happy for his compliment, "Okay, what reward do you want?"

The servant spoke quickly and replied: "Food and water, nothing else."

Xie Ning quickly lowered her voice and reminded: "Be rigorous!"

The servant thought for a moment and then continued in a panic: "Let us take care of the cattle for you big men so that your arms will not be tired. As a reward, you can give us some food! How much can we eat if we are so small? Woolen cloth?"

He cunningly changed the goal, turning a one-time reward into a long-term act of exchanging labor for food and water.

As expected, the giants did not hear the trap and made up their minds, believing that it was impossible for humans to decipher the secret of the Bronze Bull. Therefore, they proudly agreed to the request, swore an oath, and watched the people's next actions, looking forward to the tragic scene of them being burned to death.

"What good thing have you done!" Returning to the crowd, people looked at Xie Ning in surprise, "What kind of promise did you make? Can you really get close to those burning beasts and get through the giant's fingers?" Can you get some good out of it?"

Xie Ning didn't answer. He couldn't answer such a complicated question. He untied his drawing book, turned around, and carefully walked into the bronze fence of the pasture.

The heat wave was rolling like a howling wind, making his lips dry and cracked, making it difficult to open his eyes. If he hadn't wrapped his head in a cloak, all his hair would have been scorched.

He looked around on the ground, picked up a palm-sized piece of ore, and threw it towards one of the copper bulls, making a "clang" sound. The copper bull turned its head and roared threateningly. However, since it was a piece of fodder, it lowered its neck and ate it slowly.

After attracting its attention, Xie Ning picked up another piece and threw it in front of it. The copper bull walked over and ate it again. From then on, it slowly left the group and approached Xie Ning's position step by step.

"How strange!" People were stunned. "Why did the beast's flame gradually extinguish? Are there gods protecting him?"

Walking and eating all the way, when standing in front of Xie Ning, the hard leather of the copper bull was still the color of burnt fire crystals, but the flames had really gone out, and he was standing there docilely chewing. Xie Ning turned around and waved, and four or five people hurriedly came over carrying the soaked wiping blanket, carefully placed it on the back of the cow, stood on both sides, and just finished wiping it.

The giants stared at Xie Ning with their eyes widened.

"How did such a little man understand the mysteries of the herd?" They were surprised and doubtful that gods had secretly provided help for him. "Do those gods with long hands dare to rule the underground palace of Arima? "

"Keep your promise," Xie Ning said. After standing here for a while, his throat was so dry that it hurt, his skin was covered with salt, and his voice was hoarse. "Food, water."

The crowd woke up from a dream. Seeing the miracle shown by Xie Ning, they also cheered up and dared to challenge the giant: "Fulfill your promise! Since we have dealt with these beasts on fire, you should also abide by your promise. Bring us food and water!”

For the oath they had sworn, the giants had no choice but to bring water. They put down the boulder-like cowhide bags and threw in some cold barbecue and dry bread - all dozens of times the size of ordinary food - then they touched the back of their heads, muttering and rushed to their companions to report to them. This weird thing went away.

With a fixed source of food, Xie Ning could finally relax for a while. He walked out of the fence, dug out his sheepskin bag, and took several sips of scalding water to relieve his dehydration.
