[Greek Mythology] Penglaiji Construction Team

Cupid always hides behind people's backs and shoots arrows, and no one in the world with naked eyes knows him.

Odysseus heard that Fang Chengmu had a tryst with the goddess in the middle of the night, so he naturally guessed that it was the crystallization of love between His Majesty the king and the goddess of fertility.

He rushed over and sang a hymn to little Cupid.

"The four seas are peaceful, the birds are flying,

The earth welcomes new life.

Son of King Penglai and Aphrodite,

How strong his limbs are,

How agile his wings are.

When he grows up one day,

Must be more heroic than all of us. "

Cupid slapped Odysseus in the face with his wings: "Bah, I don't want to grow up!"

With a swollen face, Odysseus changed his words with a smile:

"Even if he lives forever in his innocent years,

And more heroic than all of us. "

Cupid stuck out his tongue at Odysseus: "Bah, you have a thick skin."

Fang Chengmu grabbed Cupid's fluttering little wings and dragged him back: "This is not my son, I picked it up."

Odysseus doesn't believe it.

The people of Little Penglai didn't believe it either.

Prince Paris, who cannot eat the fruit of the goddess in the neighboring country, is even more unbelievable.

Paris was furious with jealousy: "Why didn't the goddess conceive a little god with me?"

Fang Chengmu was troubled by them, so he handed Cupid over: "Secretly tell you, it was only the goddess who gave birth to you last time, please entrust me to you."

Paris turned from anger to joy: "Really?"

Fang Chengmu swore: "Of course it is true. Women have to conceive for ten months, how can they be born overnight?"

Paris danced with joy, the last time he saw the goddess was ten months ago!That's his son!

The venomous Cupid continued to wake up the dazed man with his wings: "Aphrodite finds different men to sow the seeds of life every night. How do you know it's yours that sprouted?"

Paris fell silent in frustration.

Dionysus, the god of wine, has been concentrating on brewing wine, and he is almost the last person in the entire city-state to hear the news.

He was so frightened that he didn't even have time to scoop up the steaming wheat in the pot, and hurried over to Fang Chengmu's main house.

He was relieved to see Cupid.Like Fang Chengmu, he held the little Cupid's wings: "Smart Cupid, do you want to come to our house to eat and drink?"

Cupid dared not slap Dionysus, or Dionysus would make him drunk in a wine vat.

The little Cupid said: "I am a god of hard work. I come to accept your offerings, and I come to help you multiply."

Fang Chengmu listened enthusiastically: "You can also help us give birth to many, many people?"

Cupid said proudly: "I can do what Aphrodite can do. But I have to eat first."

Fang Chengmu was overjoyed.Invite everyone to bring all the food and drink to the god of love.

The current Aegean is not what it used to be.

Row upon row of villages have been built on the shady side of the island, with rice paddies, traffic, and flocks of cattle and sheep.

The wheat field on the side of Shanyang has also expanded more than a hundred times, and the newly built granary is almost overflowing.

As soon as Cupid asks for something to eat, a large and sumptuous feast will be quickly laid out in front of him.

Cupid eats five meals a day.

Go to bed after eating, wake up and eat, no matter how much you eat, you won’t be able to eat too much.

Fang Chengmu carved a small statue for him while he was sleeping and not moving.

It's embarrassing to engrave it in one place.

How could such a young child be put naked in the village for people to watch?

So he put a pair of trousers on the statue of Cupid.

It is not enough to wear clothes for statues and not for people.

Fang Chengmu searched for some vines and leaves, strung the leaves on the vines, and put on the shame-covering pants for the sleeping baby.

Little Cupid got up and cried because of the new pants.How to show his strong and natural figure in pants?

Fang Chengmu held his hand to prevent him from taking it off, and taught him patiently: "At first, every child likes to run around with their buttocks naked, and you have to get used to it gradually. Look at Dionysus and Sun God, they all wear pants."

Cupid pouted aggrievedly, he was really not used to it, he was still a baby.

Fang Chengmu picked him up and shook him to coax him, then threatened: "If you can't get used to it, the food will be halved."

The greedy Cupid had no choice but to control his restless little hands.

Fang Chengmu was very satisfied, and moved the God of Cupid and his statue to the well at the head of the village.

The statue is placed in the ground, and Cupid stands on the head of the statue.

"Generous God of Love, please give me an heir and bless my family."

The incense was in full swing, and everyone was scrambling to ask for the blessing of the god of love.

In the past, the opportunity to directly worship the gods in their respective city-states was very rare. Usually, only the priests of the temple could worship. They wanted something, so they had to prepare a generous gift for the priest.

Fang Cheng promised that they would not charge favor fees for their worship, so of course they had to seize the opportunity to worship more.

Cupid accepts gifts from everyone who comes to beg him: "No problem."

No one saw many children at home.

There are rumors everywhere that the little Cupid is not fake.

Cupid only eats and sleeps when he is full, and eats when he is full.

The people who wanted children looked anxious, and Fang Chengmu was even more anxious.

He lifted the little Cupid who had to sleep twelve hours a day from the bed: "Let everyone have a baby."

Cupid rubbed his sleepy eyes: "You can't blame me. Your city-states are all men, they can't have children by themselves."

Cupid was right.The citizens of Little Penglai are all soldiers of the army, not a single woman.

Can men not conceive?

Fang Chengmu never thought about this question.It is clear that they can give birth in the many story books and drawings that have been circulated in the rivers and lakes.

Little Cupid said: "If you don't believe me, you can find a man to try. I think Dionysus is good. I will teach you the posture."

Fang Chengmu: "..."

He understands the posture, and it looks like it hurts.Even the king cannot sacrifice too much for the city-state.

Fang Chengmu coughed: "I still try to find some female residents."

Girls don't grow out of the ground, Fang Chengmu wondered if they could be imported from neighboring countries.

Prince Hector of Troy rebuffed straight away: "Absolutely not. Ten jugs of wine can't replace a single woman."

Dionysus, who heard this by the side, quickly hid all the wine.

God knows if Fang Chengmu, who is devoted to building a new home, will exchange twenty cylinders.

Hector said: "One hundred cylinders are not exchanged. Women are very scarce, and we all point to them to reproduce for the city-state. The Mycenaeans wanted to rob our women, so we took up arms and fought for ten years. "

What Prince Troy said was true.The ten-year-long Trojan War started from the competition for the peerless beauty Helen.

Fang Chengmu does not intend to be a robber king who robs women.

He suggested to Hector: "Dear prince, do you think it would be good for our two countries to marry each other?"

Hector quit: "You are all men, we must be at a disadvantage."

Fang Chengmu suddenly discovered that Prince Troy not only knows how to count, but also his IQ has improved a lot.

It's all Odysseus' fault.

He wanted Fang Chengmu to sacrifice to the goddess of fertility, but failed; he tried to falsely accuse Fang Chengmu of having an affair with the goddess, but also failed.This time, no matter what, the citizens of Little Penglai can no longer find women to reproduce.

Fang Chengmu was helpless.Troy refused to hand over people, and Mycenae was full of single dogs who came from the expedition, which clearly made his little Penglai desperate.

Fang Chengmu sat on the edge of the beach and racked his brains for ideas.

Is it really necessary to sacrifice oneself and ask Dionysus to carry out the great experiment of whether men can conceive?

Dionysus patted him on the back suddenly.

Fang Chengmu was embarrassed when he saw Dionysus.

Dionysus brought Cupid over and said to him, "I can add many children to our land."

The little Eros happily circled above their heads and flew into a heart shape. He really wanted to see if the two men could make a human.

Fang Chengmu's heart beat violently.

Dionysus is handsome, tall and has a good personality. Apart from his alcoholism, he seems to have no other shortcomings.

That is, is it too hasty?

Dionysus approached step by step, while Fang Chengmu retreated step by step.

If he retreats again, he will fall into the sea.

Dionysus finally spoke his mind: "We can exchange wine with the Trojans for slaves."

Alas!

Bixin's little Cupid flew away angrily.It took half a day to work in vain.

The sea tide beat against Fang Chengmu's boots, and the wet soles of his feet brought him back to his senses.

Fang Chengmu calmed down and asked, "How much wine does a slave need to exchange?"

Dionysus stretched out a palm: "I have made a deal with Hector, one tank of wine, five female slaves."

Slaves are tools for work, and the price of female slaves with poor physical fitness is lower, and sometimes they are not as good as livestock.

Fang Chengmu asked Dionysus: "It's not easy for you to make wine, how many tanks are you willing to give me to replace?"

Dionysus was very generous this time: "I will brew as much as you want. I only have one request. After you buy them, can you tell them not to be slaves?"

Only those who were not slaves were entitled to drink.

The only wish of Dionysus is to let everyone taste his fine wine and make everyone laugh and get drunk.

Fang Chengmu readily agreed: "Of course. They will be the hostesses of each household when they come here, and they will definitely not be slaves."

The Trojans have never been stingy with slaves.

Fang Chengmu easily exchanged fifty cylinders of good wine for 250 female slaves, and almost wiped out all the female slaves in Troy.

The Trojans, who thought they were taking advantage, sent a large ship to transport the slaves to the island.

Fang Chengmu was counting on the beach.

There were already [-] men and [-] women. The plan for a city-state with a thousand people was more than half completed.Waiting for them to give birth to the first generation of children, the main task will definitely be completed.

The sun on the Aegean Sea is very warm, Fang Chengmu sleeps on the golden sand and dreams.

Prince Paris yelled at him from a distance: "King of Little Penglai, wake up. Your people stopped our slave ship at the port and will scuttle it!"

Fang Chengmu jumped up from the bunker: "Why did they block the boat?"

Paris was afraid that the business would not be completed without drinking, so he ran over out of breath: "I don't know who leaked the news, saying that you are going to give slaves to them as wives. They won't do anything."
