I am the rise of an empire of ants

Chapter 7 The Controversy of Merit
Huang Huang picked up another bamboo stick beside him, gestured at Commander Tian Tian's broken leg, and then shook his head regretfully.

Commander Tian Tian saw him shaking his head, thinking that his leg couldn't be healed, his heart tightened immediately.It asked Huang Huang eagerly: "What? Can't my legs stand up anymore?"

Huang Huang hurriedly explained to Commander Tiantian: "That's not true, it's just that the bamboo stick is a little too long and can't be used. I have to ask Tangtang for another trip to find a shorter bamboo stick outside. Come and try."

He turned his head and was about to tell Tangtang with his tentacles, but Commander Tiantian stopped him.It held a bamboo stick and asked him: "How long do you want, tell me, and I will shorten it for you!"

Just now when it saw Huang Huang shaking his head, it felt desperate, thinking that it really couldn't stand up.Later, when it heard about this matter, it immediately relaxed.

Huang Huang held the bamboo stick, pointed at the center of the bamboo stick, and asked, "Is it okay to cut it so short?"

Without further ado, Commander Tian Tian picked up the bamboo stick, put it in his mouth, and began to chew. After chewing a few times, the bamboo stick was cut into two pieces, exactly the length required by Huang Huang. .

Huang Huang and Tangtang who were at the side were shocked when they saw this scene. The bamboo stick was so hard that Commander Tiantian actually bit off the bamboo in a few hits. This shows how powerful the bite force of its jaws is. .

Commander Tian Tian handed the bamboo stick cut in two to Huang Huang, and asked him, "Is this okay?"

Huang Huang nodded, beckoned Tangtang over, handed the bamboo stick to it, and told it: "You tie this bamboo stick to its leg, remember, the tighter the tie, the better!"

Tangtang nodded, took the stick, turned around and went to Commander Tian Tian to start tying the bamboo stick.Now it is not nervous at all, it can tie up Huang Huang's broken arm just now, let alone the half of Commander Tian Tian's already grown leg.

Commander Tiantian stretched out his broken leg, watching the movements of Tangtang's hands.It is very excited now, and when it thinks that it will stand up immediately, it feels like it is dreaming, which was something that it had never dared to think about before.

Tangtang finished tying the bamboo stick three times and then nodded to Huanghuang, signaling that it was all right.Huang Huang checked it with his uninjured hand, then patted Commander Tian Tian's broken leg and said to it, "Okay, just try it!"

Commander Tiantian suddenly felt a little helpless. He had been lying on the ground for so long, so he had already lost confidence in being able to stand up again.Now Huang Huang tells it that it can stand up and go now, but it always feels a little impossible.

It suddenly felt very nervous and excited at the same time, and its whole body began to tremble.

It glanced at Huang Huang, and saw Huang Huang smiling at it, his eyes full of encouragement.It was cruel, and its hands and feet worked hard together. Oh, it actually stood up.

The bamboo stick tied to its broken leg is now firmly supporting its body. Although it makes it feel very uncomfortable, it doesn't matter. As long as it can really stand up, what is it?It stared blankly at its broken foot, and then laughed foolishly like a child.

For those wounded soldiers watching from a distance in the hall, many people let out an exclamation in unison at this moment.They were just watching from a distance, not knowing what the three ants were doing with their bamboo sticks gesticulating.Now seeing Commander Tian Tian actually stood up, and what it was relying on was just a short bamboo stick, they all involuntarily crawled over with their hands supporting the ground.It was amazing and inspiring, with complex expressions on each ant's face.

Each of them has the same dream in their hearts every day, dreaming that one day they can stand up again and walk freely like ordinary ants.Every time they wake up from their dreams, the real world smashes their dreams to pieces.After waking up from the dream, they don't know how many times they shed tears in private, how many times they cried secretly.Now, this dream is actually presented in front of them, how can this not make them not excited?

Now Commander Tian Tian has realized this dream. If Commander Tian Tian can do it, they can also fulfill it.Isn't it just a small bamboo stick and a cotton thread? These are things that can be seen everywhere. With these two things, they can also stand up.At this moment, in the heart of each of them, a kind of hope is kindled.

Huang Huang did not relax at all, his face was still stern, he communicated with Tian Tian with his tentacles: "Take a step and try!"

Commander Tian Tian nodded, and slowly took a step forward, and the foot tied with the bamboo stick landed firmly on the ground together with the other feet.okay!It turned around and looked at Huang Huang ecstatically.

All the surrounding ants immediately burst into cheers like mountains and seas.That's right, this is the sound from their bodies, and it is also a cry from the heart.They finally saw their future, as if they had found their way home in a lost valley.

The cheers startled Lu Luchang, who ran over from another room next door.As soon as it entered the hall, it was stunned by the scene in front of it.All the ants were no longer in their original positions. They gathered around Huang Huang, roaring loudly, and each ant had a fascinated expression on its face.

This is a carnival, a real carnival, and the content of the carnival comes from their catharsis of their true emotions.

Lu Luchang was very surprised. He saw Commander Tiantian stood up again, and he was limping around in a very proud way, like a vain little girl showing off her skills to others. Like new clothes.

It ran over excitedly and asked Commander Tian Tian: "What's going on?"

Commander Tiantian proudly stretched out the broken leg in front of it, and said to it, "Did you see it? My Tiantian's leg has grown again!"

Lu Luchang was shocked that Commander Tiantian was able to leave again, which was a big deal.Commander Tiantian has always been highly valued by his mother, and this time he can stand up again, this must be known to his mother.It didn't even have time to say hello to Commander Tian Tian, ​​so it turned around and ran towards the queen's palace.

At the moment, none of the ants in the hall noticed the existence of the Luluchangguan. They surrounded Commander Tiantian and Huanghuang with excited expressions on their faces, asking this and that, hoping that they could install it sometime. Come on one leg.

A group of valiant soldier ants walked into the hall. This is the queen's personal army. They stand around the two sides of the hall, all of them have serious faces and no smiles.Behind them, a huge ant walked in.

All the ants in the hall suddenly fell silent. They faced the queen, with their front legs slightly bent, and shouted in unison: "May the queen be safe!"

Huang Huang opened his mouth and yelled after them. This was the first time he heard ants talk, and it was said by dozens of ants together.He felt that the sound was not very loud, just like the sound of wind blowing leaves.

Popular science, the sounding part of ants is located in the lower abdomen. It is emitted by two vibrating plates. Generally, the sound is infrasound, which is inaudible to human ears. This is why people generally do not know that ants can communicate in language. .In fact, the language of ants is very rich, and there are many things to communicate with each other.

Huang Huang secretly raised her head and glanced at the queen ant.The queen ant is tall and big, several times the volume of ordinary worker ants. The front and back of the body are disproportionate. The head and chest look small, and the back abdomen is relatively large, which looks very uncoordinated, especially her bulging belly. Gives a very clumsy feeling.

The queen ant walked to the center of the crowd, looked in surprise at Commander Tiantian who was standing there bowing her head and saluted it, and then said to it: "Tada, I heard that your legs can walk now, come on, let's go!" Show me a few steps!"

Commander Tiantian quickly raised his head, and replied respectfully to the queen ant: "Mother, I've just been able to stand up and I'm not used to it yet. I may have to get used to it, but walking should be no problem!" After finishing speaking, It took a few steps back and forth, then stood back to its original place with its head down and hands down.

The queen ant looked surprised.She walked up to Commander Tiantian, lowered her head, looked at its feet carefully, nodded and said, "Wonderful, really wonderful!" Then she raised her head and asked Commander Tiantian, "Who came up with this idea?"

Commander Tian Tian immediately reported to the queen ant, "It's a soldier from the new barracks, and its name is Huang Huang."

Then, it pointed to Huang Huang lying on the ground and introduced to the queen ant: "That's him!"

In an ant colony, the queen is the mother of all the ants.But she is only responsible for production, and the task of taking care of and raising the small ants is the responsibility of other worker ants. Due to the huge number of ants in the ant colony, the queen ant does not know all the ants.

After listening to Commander Tiantian's report, the queen ant looked at Huang Huang lying on the ground. She suddenly found the splint on Huang Huang's arm, and she stepped forward curiously and asked, "What is that tied to your arm?" ?”

Huang Huang hurriedly told the queen: "This is a splint, my arm is broken, this is for fixing it!"

The Lu Lu Changguan on the side was taken aback. It didn't expect that this little ant could think of such a trick. This idea is really good. Using bamboo sticks to help locate the bones will not grow out of place.I have stayed in the training ground for so long, and I can be regarded as an expert in the treatment of bone injuries. Why have I never thought of this?

The queen ant approached Huang Huang, looked at the tied bamboo stick with great interest, and then sighed: "You are so clever, you actually thought of using this to fix the broken hand!" She turned and asked Lu Lu Changguan: " Is this what you came up with?"

Lu Luchangguan is the manager of the training ground. If the ants in the general group have broken limbs, they will be cured by him. Therefore, when the queen ant saw the splint tied to Huanghuang's hand, it was the first thing that came to mind.

Lu Luchangguan smiled awkwardly, but didn't answer.

Lu Luchang didn't care about talking because it was really hard to talk. In front of so many people, it must be embarrassed to open its eyes and tell nonsense to admit that it came up with it.But if it says no, the queen ant will definitely have a view on it.What an ordinary ant can think of, but the person responsible for the management here has never thought of it, so its job is too incompetent.

So it had no choice but to play ambiguously in a muffled voice.

Seeing that it didn't speak, the queen ants only said that it acquiesced.So he praised it and said: "Lu Lu, you are really a caring person, you can think of such a thing, not bad! The training ground is entrusted to you, and I have not misunderstood the person."

Huang Huang immediately realized that the queen ant made a mistake, he became excited, and interrupted without regard for politeness: "Queen mother, you made a mistake, it didn't think of this, Tangtang thought of it. It saw my hand It was broken and couldn’t be moved, so I had to put it there for several days, so it gave me this idea. It was also the cotton thread that found the bamboo stick. It was only after I was inspired by it that I thought of tying the bamboo stick to the Tiantian is in charge of the legs, so Tangtang has the most credit for today's matters!"

After hearing Huang Huang's words, Lu Lu Changguan on the side blushed and then turned pale, wishing to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Huang Huang didn't do this intentionally to embarrass Lu Luchang, he just wanted to take credit for Tangtang.Commander Tian Tian said just now that he healed his leg, so he couldn't pass the credit on to Tangtang anymore. Now that Lu Luchang was pretending to claim the credit, he was in a hurry, so he also Without considering the consequences, he offended Lu Luchang Guan with one mouthful.

Tangtang on the side was stunned for a moment, and then it quickly defended: "It's not me, Huang Huang thought of all of this himself!"

The queen ant was full of doubts, she turned to Commander Tiantian and asked, "Who thought of this?"
