I am the rise of an empire of ants

Chapter 4 Tangtang's Dream

In a daze, he fell asleep again. In his sleep, he dreamed that there was a table of delicious dishes in front of him. Zhang Genli, who lived in the same workshop as them, was sitting beside the table, eating a chicken leg with relish.He swallowed, and was about to go over to break the other leg of the chicken, when suddenly he was pushed awake.

He didn't open his eyes, turned over and wanted to sleep again, wanted to connect with the dream just now, and continued to break another chicken leg.But I found that the dream could not be answered no matter what, the table in front of me disappeared, and the darkness in front of my eyes could only be re-imagined by myself.So he tried hard to recall what was on the table in his mind, but suddenly felt that hand pushed him again.

"Get out!" He couldn't help cursing, feeling that the hand pushing him was too annoying. He had just started the table, and before his buttocks sat on the chair, someone lifted the table.He slowly opened his eyes while cursing.

There was a movement on the top of his head, and an ant communicated with him beside him: "Why are you talking to me? You don't know that speaking is against the rules! You are still in confinement. If you violate the rules again, you will be punished." Everyone kicked out!"

"Speak? Violation?" Huang Huang shuddered violently, and immediately woke up completely.He opened his eyes and looked at the ant in front of him, and asked it with its tentacles, "Who are you?"

The ant answered him: "I'm Tangtang! Why don't you even recognize me?"

Huang Huang took a closer look at the ant in front of him, only to realize that he had seen this ant before, the one that talked to him on the bus platform at noon.

"Speaking counts as a violation?" Huang Huang asked it curiously, this time he switched to tentacles to communicate with it.This question is also a question he has been trying to figure out. He thought that he was the only one in the entire ant colony who could speak, but now it seems that this is not the case. They all understand what he said, and they seem to be able to speak it, but they don’t usually say it. That's all.

"Don't you know, we can only talk when we are with the queen mother, and usually we can only communicate with each other through the tentacles!" Tangtang replied.

The "queen mother" is the queen in the ant nest, that is, the mother of all the ants in the nest.It was only then that Huang Huang knew that there was such a rule in the ant population, it must be out of respect for the queen, perhaps it was a formula that had been established in the ant nest for thousands of years, no one would have thought of it go against it.No wonder he cursed at the red-headed ant at noon, and the ant ran away in fright. It turned out that it regarded itself as a monster.

Tangtang felt that the questions Huanghuang asked today were always inexplicable, so she looked at Huanghuang worriedly, and asked him with its tentacles: "What's wrong with you today? Why do I feel that something is wrong with you, don't you?" Are you sick?" After speaking, it stretched out its hand to touch Huanghuang's head.

Huang Huang hurriedly used his hand to block it, Tangtang's hand just touched Huang Huang's wound, and he felt a burst of pain from his wound, and he yelled "Ouch".

Tangtang quickly withdrew her hand, "What's the matter, how did you get hurt?" It asked him with concern.

Huang Huang didn't answer.He's not the kind of person who likes to complain everywhere when he's wronged a little bit, besides, he sneaked into other people's territory without calling someone.However, he deduced from Tangtang's words that beating himself thoroughly didn't seem to be a punishment of confinement, it was an abuse of lynching.

"Did Cheche manage the fight? Was it here?" Seeing that Huang Huang hadn't said a word, Tangtang continued to ask him.

Huang Huang nodded slightly.He only now confirmed that it was its own idea to attack him thoroughly.He immediately felt angry, he had no enmity with it, yet it hated him so much!Originally, I still thought about it and let it go like this, but now the more I think about it, the more I get angry, no, I can't admit this loss for no reason, and I must find a chance to get it back in the future.

Tangtang sighed, and said with his tentacles and Huanghuang: "Cheche is really serious, he always treats his brothers and sisters so hard, as if everyone owes him something, I was beaten by him last time too. I can't move it for three days, it looks like this, but Commander Lu Lu still admires it very much, and maintains it in everything!"

Huang Huang nodded thoughtfully when she heard Tangtang's words.It seems that this Cheche has been domineering here for more than a day or two, and there is a backstage behind him to support him, so it is possible to be so domineering.

After Tangtang sighed, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Huanghuang: "By the way, after talking for a long time, I forgot about the business. I came to find you to bring you food. I heard at noon Qingqing said that you have been locked up. I know you must have nothing to eat today, so I hid a piece of bread crumbs. When I came in just now, I was afraid that there were other people in the locked room, so I put it at the door. I'll bring it here for you."

After speaking, Tangtang ran out.

After Huang Huang heard Tangtang's words, he was moved for a moment, and only then did he know that there is no food for confinement.After the ant named Tangtang knew that he was in confinement, he ran over to give him food at the risk of violating the rules, which showed that he really cared about himself, and he regarded himself as his true friend.

Huang Huang didn't know this Tang Tang. Since he transformed into an ant, he has been feeling lonely and helpless.Now such a friend suddenly appeared, and he was so kind to him, which made him feel warm in his heart.

Not long after, Tangtang ran back with a piece of bread crumbs in its mouth. It walked up to Huang Huang and put the bread crumbs on the ground next to Huang Huang's mouth.

"Eat it, I just picked it up today, and I didn't hand it in without telling the warehouse manager, so I found a place to hide it!" Tangtang said to Huanghuang proudly.

Huang Huang struggled to stand up, he was already hungry, and wished he could swallow that piece of bread crumbs in one gulp.But no, the left arm was in severe pain, and when he tried hard, it hurt like a piercing heart. He screamed and lay on the ground again.

Tangtang looked at Huanghuang's left arm, and suddenly said in surprise, "Ah! Your left hand is broken!"

Only then did Huang Huang notice that a section of her left arm was drooping, the skin was still connected, and the bone was broken.No wonder he felt pain in his left arm all the time, so he didn't know that his arm was broken.

Tangtang shook her head, and said to Huanghuang: "You can no longer be confined in this situation, I will go to Huaihuai patrol, and ask him to send you to the training ground!"

After speaking, it turned around and wanted to leave.After walking a few steps, it suddenly seemed to remember something again, and turned to Huang Huang and said, "By the way, let me feed you the bread crumbs first. You haven't eaten all day, so you must be very hungry."

Huang Huang stared at the bread crumbs in front of her, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and nodded.

Tangtang came back, tore off the bread crumbs with its mouth, and fed it to Huanghuang bite by bite.

Huang Huang wolfed down the bread crumbs that Tang Tang fed him, feeling warm in his heart.In his memory, this kind of scene only appeared when he was young, when his grandmother who loved him the most fed him.At that time, he was still young and always refused to eat. His grandma was very patient, always coaxing him slowly, and then feeding him spoon by spoon.

It's a pity that his grandma passed away when he was 12 years old. For this reason, he cried for a whole week, and his whole body became muddled.He really can't forget the scenes when he was with his grandma, and now this scene brought back warm memories of his childhood.

He looked at Tangtang, and said gratefully to it: "Thank you, really, really thank you!"

Tangtang shook her head casually, and communicated with him: "If you say that, you are cheating, you are my best friend! If I don't help you, who else will help you? If you want to say thank you, I will I should also thank you."

"Thank me?" Huang Huang looked at Tangtang suspiciously, he didn't know what happened between the original Huang Huang in his body and Tangtang.

Tangtang continued: "Yes! You know what my dream is. I have always wanted to be a soldier ant, and I want to be a warrior in our brown ant family. All the ants are laughing at my idea, Thinking that I am so thin and want to be a soldier ant is really an idiot talking in my sleep and sneering at me. Only you have always believed in me, encouraged me, and helped me refute them. For this alone, I will always be grateful to you, no matter what happens in the future Can I become a soldier ant, no matter what you said is just to comfort me, I will thank you for the rest of my life."

When Tangtang said this, her expression was very excited, and tears seemed to flow from her eyes.Huang Huang knew that it was speaking to him with its own heart.

Huang Huang was moved by its words, he looked at the Tangtang in front of him, only then did he realize that its figure was indeed much thinner compared to other ants, a bit like a premature human.He didn't know that there was such a dream in Tangtang's body. If he believed in it and encouraged it before, it was because he was reborn in the ant named Huanghuang, and it had nothing to do with him. Just dipped in its light.Huang Huang suddenly felt very ashamed, what should he do for it, not only spiritual support, but also take practical actions to support it, not for anything else, because it knows how to be grateful and knows how to treat itself as its own. True friend!

So he has his first life goal after becoming an ant, which is to help Tangtang realize his dream, let him fulfill his wish, and become a warrior in the brown ant family!
He doesn't know if he can help with this, but he will definitely do his best to do it!

He was really wondering how Tangtang could become a soldier ant, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.It has already asked so many questions that make it feel strange today, if it continues to ask, it will find that something is wrong with itself.

So he didn't ask any more, but concentrated on eating the bread.

The bread was very dry and hard, and it was covered with mud. It was obvious that it fell from someone's mouth while waiting for the car for breakfast, and it must have been stepped on by other people a few times. , has completely changed its original color.In the past, Huang Huang wouldn't have even glanced at this kind of food, but now, he eats it extraordinarily sweet.

Since the world cannot be changed, learn to adapt to the world.He is already an ant now, so he can only demand himself according to the ant's way of life.
