Chapter 249 Beggar

After accepting Ah Shi's "love token" in Qili County, Song Liyun still wanted to experience the feeling of love.

Only a few days had passed, and she was busy dealing with matters in Qili County, so she hadn't had time to inquire about A Shi's family situation in detail.

Although it was said in the past that family background doesn’t matter as long as you’re not married, you still have to find out where the person is from and what family members they have.

Moreover, we are still encountering a situation in the "Di Lu Tribe" that feels like visiting relatives and meeting parents.

Obviously the situation has changed a bit. All the progress is out of sync, which is beyond her plan and imagination.

Song Liyun was tired after a night of sleep and couldn't really lie down to sleep. She just changed her clothes and was about to get some water from the space to wash her face.

Then I saw a little girl coming in with a wooden basin and lifting the curtain.

The little girl was wearing a clean light blue knee-length gown. She looked about twelve or thirteen years old. She had several braids tied behind her head, a round red face, and narrow eyes. She smiled when she saw Song Liyun.

"Hello, sister!" It was also authentic Wu Chao dialect.

The little girl's name was Yuquan. The beggar lady arranged for her to accompany her because she was afraid that she would not be able to tell her if she needed anything.

Outside the yurt, beggar Ma Ma took Zhao Tingduo's hand and asked her gently about what had happened in the past few days.

Zhao Tingduo answered all the questions one by one, and then asked if the tribe had any troubles during this period and how his mother was.

Beggar Mama scolded him, "An eagle cannot protect its nest. You don't have to worry about home. With your mother at home, nothing can happen."

"The people of those two tribes have become obedient now. They are all diligently tending to the livestock and grazing grass."

Zhao Tingduo listened to her nanny chattering about the affairs of the tribe, and the smile on her face never disappeared.

"Ashi, is this girl you brought back the wife you have chosen?" Aunt Qi whispered.

"Well, Mammy, I recognize her, but I haven't told my mother yet!"

"Don't worry, your mother said that you have to choose your own wife and there's no need to arrange marriages for the sake of the tribe. Alas! She doesn't want you to follow her path!"

"You have always been a sensible and steady child, and you know how to do things in moderation."

"She's a girl from the Wu Dynasty. She's a good girl. You can't let her down."

"This girl is pretty and you can tell she's kind and sensible. If Mammy likes her, your mother will like her too."

Hearing the nanny praising Song Liyun, Zhao Tingduo blushed slightly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground.

Nanny is one of the few elderly people in the tribe. She watched A Niang grow up, experienced the genocide of the tribe, and countless ups and downs. She also raised every child in the tribe and is the most prestigious person in the tribe.

Zhao Tingduo and Abu also grew up under her nose and never left for a single day before they reached adulthood.

A-niang once said: Mammy has hands that can soothe wolves and eyes that can see through people's hearts.

Now that the nanny says Yun'er is fine, then she must be fine.

"Mammy, Yun'er actually helped sell the tribe's mutton and furs these days."

"This time when I come back, in addition to mutton, I also plan to bring some dried meat to sell." Zhao Tingduo recounted Song Liyun's contributions one by one like a little child.

The beggar woman listened to him with a smile and then said, "She is a good girl!"

At this moment, Abu, who had already run away, came from behind the flock and threw himself into the arms of the beggar woman: "Mammy, Abu missed you so much!"

He is as strong as a bear, but still so childish.

The beggar nanny touched his head, patted his butt, and smiled so much that all the wrinkles on her face spread out: "You little brat, you still miss home. Come back with me and herd sheep at home every day!"

"No, I'm not going back. It's better for me to stay outside with the young master. Mammy, let me tell you, Broken Gold Town is very lively now. We need to hold a sales meeting to sell all the tribe's goods and buy more food, salt, cloth, and ironware."

Seeing that he was still acting like a spoiled brat with Madam at such a big age, Zhao Tingduo grabbed Abu's arm and said, "You bastard, don't hurt Madam."

The nanny is old and her legs are not in good condition. After being rubbed by this naughty kid, she will be in pain for a few days.

Abu sat up immediately: "Oh!"

Song Liyun washed up again and felt refreshed. She walked out of the yurt and saw Abu there. She pointed to the cardboard box in the yurt and said, "Abu, open the box. There's something inside. Take it out quickly."

When the carton was opened, Zhao Tingduo was stunned.

Abu exclaimed, "Wow!" "Hah, there are vegetables, cucumbers, peaches, pears, and oranges. Sister Song, when did you pack this? Didn't you just pack clothes?"

The cardboard box was full of fruits and vegetables, as well as several large bags of seasonings.

Zhao Tingduo also frowned. The cardboard box was tied to Juqing's horse back.

At that time, Song Liyun said that there were only a few sets of clothes, and they didn't look heavy, so he didn't take them off. But he didn't expect that they were fruits.

Aunt Beggar also came over and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Such juicy peaches, how can there be any at this time of year?"

The peaches looked like they had just been picked, with dewdrops still on them.

Even when the tribe was still in Xishi Pass, there were no such fresh peaches.

Yuquan's eyes widened: "Mammy, what is this? It's so beautiful!"

She grew up on the grassland and ate very little vegetables. Apart from the berries in the bushes, she had never seen such big and beautiful fruits.

Song Liyun smiled and said, "I bought this in May and stored it in the ice cellar. I didn't expect it to be so fresh and juicy even now, so I brought some over for everyone to try."

There was indeed only one set of clothes in her cardboard box, but she just saw that this was not an ordinary tribe.

Both the young and the old have a close relationship with Ah Shi, and only then did I realize that I had not prepared any gifts.

Fortunately, there was nothing missing in the space, so I picked some fruits and vegetables, and a bag of candy, which looked pretty good.

It is rare to find such good things on the grassland. Even the lady has never eaten it. How could the beggar lady bear to waste it, so she naturally asked someone to send it back.

Abu didn't feel tired and took on the task. He happily went back to see his mother and younger brothers and sisters.

It takes a day and a night to ride on horseback from the mouth of the Huangsha River Valley to the current pasture of the Wuda tribe.

In the yurt, Madam Qi took Song Liyun's hand and said, "You've been riding a horse all night. You should lie down and have a rest. Don't compare yourself with these men who are always on horseback."

Song Liyun smiled lightly and didn't mention resting. She just said, "Mammy, can you tell me what is the relationship between Ah Shi and your tribe?"

The old woman in front of me has a kind face. If you have any questions in your mind, you might as well speak up.

Aunt Qi was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Hasn't that boy Ah Shi told you yet?"

After saying this, she shook her head again: "You are in Broken Gold Town, he has concerns."

Song Liyun looked at her without blinking.

She knew that the hatred between Suijin Town and the Di Lu people was as deep as the sea, but A Shi was obviously hiding something from her, and she was very unhappy.

Beggar Mama became serious and said, "Miss, it's Ah Shi's fault. Don't be angry. I'll ask him to come in and explain everything. Since I've decided to marry you, how could I lie to you like this?"
