Chapter 377: Scheming against the Rat Elder
Chapter 377: Scheming against the Rat Elder
"At most, we can just use it for them first."
Huidun's words were shameless enough to please Chen Cheng.
Then the two of them discussed the plans for a while and then waited for tomorrow.
In the past, in the cave cell, they could not see the dawn or dusk, they only knew that after dawn, the old mole would come to take them away.
Now living in the cave outside, I heard the long-lost sound of roosters crowing this morning.
I don't know which cave these chickens are raised in, but the sound of their crows combined with the echo of the cave makes it extremely loud.
This was all thanks to Chen Cheng who was still thinking about something important happening today, otherwise if the chicken had bothered him so much, he would definitely have stewed it to death today.
After the two of them finished washing up, a mole brought them breakfast.
Don’t be fooled by the ugly looks of these moles, their cooking skills are quite good, especially when paired with the unique spices of the cave world, they taste extremely delicious.
To be honest, after eating it these few days, Chen Cheng even wanted to take some seeds of this spice back with him before leaving.
After the two of them finished their breakfast, a mole came to clean up the table, and then the old mole dressed up beautifully, leaning on a cane to invite the two of them:
"My two benefactors, the king is coming to inspect the textile workshop today. Please stand by and explain the situation to the king."
Unexpectedly, after just one day, these two people became benefactors of the mole group.
It seems that they really are short of clothes.
Chen Cheng and his companions were also very kind-hearted. They thought that they had to leave something behind after they left, at least the cotton seeds and the production process of cotton cloth weaving.
After all, they were still invaders. This was the habitat of these gophers. They broke in for no reason and killed many of their people.
But after they were caught, these gophers did not make things difficult for them. Instead, they treated them to delicious food and drinks.
Although they had their own purposes in treating their group so well, these gophers had done their utmost to be kind.
The two followed Old Rat to the textile workshop, where several modified looms had already started working.
In several neighboring caves, gophers were busy making new looms.
After looking around, they sat down and waited for the arrival of the Rat King.
At this time, Huidun looked at Old Mole hesitantly.
The old mole also discovered something strange about Huidun.
Now Huidun and his friends are the stars of the entire tribe, especially after the gophers went back from holiday yesterday and spread the news about what happened here, many young gopher couples who were preparing to get pregnant were very grateful to them.
Therefore, the mole elder was also afraid that something strange might happen to Huidun or that something bad might happen to his body.
"My benefactor, what happened? Are you feeling unwell? I will ask the doctor from our clan to come right away."
Huidun waved his hand and said:
"It's not because of this, this... this..."
Seeing Huidun's hesitation, the old mole became extremely anxious.
"My benefactor, please tell me what you want to say. I will do my best to satisfy you if I can. Even if I can't do it, I will tell the king."
"Well, I'll just speak frankly."
"It's already early summer, and it takes a long time for cotton to grow and mature. I'm worried that if I can't find cotton seeds quickly, it might be too late by this winter."
The old mole didn't expect that Huidun would be talking about this.
Then his eyes rolled, and the first thing that came to his mind was whether Huidun had any conspiracy.
But then they thought that they were detained by the tribe just for these cotton, cotton cloth and cotton clothes.
If he can't accomplish these things this year, his people will have to be imprisoned for a longer time.
Moreover, those monkeys are locked up without doing anything, which not only wastes the dungeon’s energy, but they also need to be well fed and served. There are also other voices in this tribe.
These guys naturally didn't dare to say that the clan leader was wrong, but as the director of the textile workshop, they would definitely hate me.
Soon the old mole said with a smile:
"It's nothing. I'll assign more people to you starting tomorrow. What do you think?"
However, Huidun shook his head and said:
"To be honest, it's better not to use the mole tribe, because you have never seen what cotton looks like or what the seeds look like. There may be seeds in many places that your people have searched for, but you have missed them."
The old mole thought about it and realized that this was the truth, but how could he find the cotton quickly without sending more people?
Seeing the old mole thinking, Huidun continued:
"Of course I have a plan, but I don't know if you elders will agree to it."
The old mole thought for a moment and said:
"My benefactor, if anything is helpful in finding cotton seeds, I will do my best to satisfy you."
“I want my people to be involved. Of course I don’t mean all of them, because many of them don’t know what cotton seeds look like, but there are still some of them who know, and I want them to come out and help.
Of course, if the clan leader and elders are worried, you can also send more mole tribe members to stay by our side and supervise us.
Of course, if you are still not satisfied with this, you can also use the imprisonment magic to imprison us."
The old mole's face changed at first, but after hearing the supervision plan proposed by Huidun, he dispelled his doubts.
Because what he said was really cruel. He was willing to let him imprison his own people just for the sake of the mole tribe.
At this moment, the old mole felt mixed emotions.
But he had no idea that Huidun's attempt to cover up something was only making it more obvious.
Because yesterday they treated them as benefactors and said they would lift the imprisonment, but today they changed their mind and wanted to imprison them again. Isn't this slapping themselves in the face?
As for asking them to send more people to guard, they would do so without Huidun saying more, so he was doing the old mole a favor, letting him see his determination to serve the mole tribe, thereby reducing the vigilance of these moles.
At this time, the old mole already had an idea in his mind, and then he said to Huidun with a smile:
"I can understand your benefactor's feelings. I will tell the king about this when he comes later."
After the old mole finished speaking, he nodded at Huidun with satisfaction.
Chen Cheng on the side also secretly sighed that Huidun was very capable and careful. He knew that this matter could not be avoided without talking to the old rat, so he told the Rat King, otherwise the old rat might interfere.
And if he said this to the old mole, as long as he touched the old mole's heart, then the old mole on the Mole King's side would naturally try his best to make this happen.
