Only then did Wan Youyou feel her heart pounding so hard that she almost collapsed: What just happened? What had I been doing?

That dark-skinned young man from the Di tribe... He didn't laugh at himself, nor did he do anything inappropriate. Instead, he took good care of him.

He also gave me a bottle of medicine, saying that it was due to acclimatization problems and that eating this local herbal medicine would be more effective.

Thinking of this, Wan Youyou lifted the car curtain and looked out. There was no trace of the iron tower-like figure in the crowd.

On the other side, Abu was riding his horse across the grassland, galloping against the wind, hoping that the cold wind would cool down his burning face.

At this moment, he only felt his vest was wet, and his inner clothes were soaked with sweat, as if he had just fought with a wolf.

Abu never imagined that there would be a day when he would have to accompany a strange girl to take a shit.

I don’t know how the young master, the young lady, and Wu Dan would laugh at me if they knew about this.

No one slept well that night. The strong wind tore the oilcloth all night, forcing people to get up at any time to tie the ropes.

Abu didn't sleep all night. He kept feeling that there was a woman's cry faintly in the night wind.

A hundred miles away, Song Liyun and the others also did not sleep all night.

The thunderstorm lasted for half an hour before it stopped. The wooden houses on the flat ground were almost soaked in water. They had to dig ditches in the rain to drain the water to prevent them from floating away.

When the rain stopped and the thunder subsided, the night sky was twinkling with stars again, and even the moon came out.

Elder Shan propped up his old legs and checked all the houses. He found that the wooden boards painted with tung oil were not wet, and the paper core inside was intact. He sighed and said, "This method of building houses is indeed very useful. It will also be convenient for moving accounts in the future."

Although yurts are warm, they are more difficult to build and transport than dismantled board walls.

The most important thing is that board houses are faster to build than felt tents.

Song Liyun's face was gloomy and serious. "Elder, do you think A Shi and the others are nearby?"

She always had a premonition that Zhao Tingduo should be nearby, and was delayed by something, so she did not come to pick her up as agreed.

Elder Shan was also anxious, partly because he was worried about the safety of his young master.

Secondly, it was already impolite not to go to the Bahrain tribe to pick up the bride, and the bride could still understand it.

But now he is still delaying his appearance, and he and other members of the tribe have long lost their composure.

If he encountered another thunderstorm tonight, he would have an idea in his mind: "Madam, the rain came so fast. If the young master is nearby, he might get soaked. I want to wait until daybreak and have someone search around..."

Before he could finish his words, Song Liyun said, "Let's set off now, without waiting for daybreak! I'll light a bonfire."

Seeing that the young lady was concerned about the young master, Elder Shan was delighted and had no reason to refuse: "Young lady, just wait here. I will assign some people right away."

A pile of firewood as tall as a person was lit, and the night wind blew the flames into the air.

It is enough to allow people to see the direction clearly from a mile away.

In Song Liyun's group, apart from her and Miss Anyun, the rest were fifteen members of the Wuda tribe.

These people are elite soldiers trained from the Zhenbei Army. Their combat power is enough to fight five to one. If they encounter an ordinary small tribe, they will not be in danger.

Elder Shan wanted to leave five people with Song Liyun, but she refused: "Elder Shan, don't worry, there will be no danger here. You should all leave and return to report the situation at the latest by daybreak."

This time, Song Liyun did not take the initiative to go out and find someone. Xiao An and Yun Niang were in the camp, and she was not confident in leaving them to others for protection.

More importantly, she was still a newlywed bride, so she had to be a little reserved on the way to the wedding.

Time passed slowly, the bonfire went out, and the sun rose. Elder Shan and his men were like kites with broken strings, and they did not send back any news before dawn.

This is not right!

Madam Yun and Xiao An had already sensed something was wrong and couldn't even eat breakfast. They just followed Song Liyun closely.

"Miss, should we go find them or stay here?" asked Madam Yun.

There were only three of them in the vast windy land, and she felt anxious.

Song Liyun took out a bow and slowly strung it. With a calm demeanor, he said, "We'll wait here until noon. If we still haven't seen anyone, I'll take you back immediately... back to Suijin Town!"

"Why...why go back? Shouldn't we wait for Brother A Shi?" Xiao An asked anxiously.

Song Liyun didn't say anything. She was worried that something might happen to Zhao Tingduo at first, but now that Elder Shan and others had left and never returned, she felt relieved.

The cavalry led by Elder Shan are not ordinary herdsmen. No matter how big the problem is, at least one of them will escape and notify them to leave quickly.

But now there is nothing unusual around. The wolves are slowly wandering around looking for food, and the vultures in the sky are gliding steadily, which means that nothing bloody has happened within dozens of miles.

Since there is no external danger, it is the inconvenience brought about by people themselves.

Song Liyun’s first thought was that Zhao Tingduo was running away from her marriage!

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this kind of thing is basically impossible.

But once the thought came to her mind, it was like a fermenting jar, gurgling and emitting sour and astringent taste. Song Liyun could no longer control her random thoughts.

Since the end of the world, she has not seriously considered getting married. Now that she is finally getting married, she has come this far, but the groom has stood her up.

Anger, grievance, and pre-marital fear made her feel like an ordinary woman, and she even thought about breaking off the engagement.

When Madam Yun heard that they were going back to Suijin Town, she suddenly became nervous.

Abu and the others were still behind. How could the girl go back to Suijin Town if she didn't say she was going to meet up with them?

Does this mean you don’t want to get married?

She hurriedly said, "Don't worry, young lady. Perhaps something happened to the young master. He is not deliberately neglecting us, otherwise he would not have asked Elder Shan to come and welcome the bride!"

She is an experienced person. The girl is going to marry into the Di tribe, and the etiquette may be different from that of the Wu Dynasty.

But the girl had come this far and still hadn't seen the groom, so she felt bad about coming.

But the girl has already married, and if she returns to Suijin Town, others will think that her engagement has been broken off.

Not only will your reputation be ruined, but any future marriages you may have will also be considered second marriages, and it will be difficult to find a good match.

Song Liyun slung the tightly closed bow over her back: "Of course I'm not in a hurry. We haven't even entered the house yet, so at worst we can just break up!"

She was really angry.

She could understand that Zhao Tingduo was busy with his work and building his family business, and even had some concerns because of his status, but he ignored her wedding time and again... It would be better not to get married!

Madam Yun was shocked: "Miss, marriage is a serious matter, so you can't say anything angry. How can you just say you won't get married?"

When she thought of this, Madam Yun felt anxious and sad. She hoped that something had happened to Zhao Tingduo and that she was not making things difficult for her daughter, so that the relationship could be salvaged.

She was also afraid that her idea would come true. If something happened to the groom on the way to the bride, the girl would become a widow for no reason.

The girl was so young and ended up in this situation...

Suddenly, Madam Yun was so anxious that she started crying: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Xiao An also knew what was going to happen. He rode his horse up to the nearby high ground and looked into the distance.

I prayed in my heart that Brother A Shi would show up soon. If it was too late, my second sister would really be gone.

Contrary to expectations, the sun rose above the three of them as they waited, and everyone's mood sank into the mud like yesterday's rain.

Song Liyun took off her new clothes and picked off the agate beads.

Xiao An brought three horses.

Song Liyun took the reins from Xiao An and jumped on the horse. She said to Madam Yun, who was still hesitant and unwilling to leave, "Let's go! Leave the house here. I've also left a letter."

Madam Yun had tears in her eyes: "Miss, please wait a little longer, maybe Ah Shi is already on his way."
