Not to mention that Yong'an finally got what he wanted and was snoring in the border army tent.
It is said that Tai Jiye returned to the caravan camp, looked around and saw nothing unusual, then went into the tent and lay down in his clothes.
Unfortunately, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
Sometimes he was worried that his nephew would be bullied in the military camp, and sometimes he was worried that his nephew would get into trouble again because of his reckless personality. In short, he experienced the difficulty of being an elder.
Tai Yonglu was not worried about his elder brother. In his heart, his elder brother was omnipotent and very capable.
He was just waiting for the day when his eldest brother would come home riding a tall horse and tell him that it would be great if he had a brother who would be a general in the future!
Tai Jiye wanted to find someone to talk to, but when he heard his nephew snoring, he really wanted to pinch him. In the end, he definitely couldn't bear to do it, so he pulled the blanket to cover his stomach.
Fortunately, Chen Ruiyang was still awake and asked softly, "Uncle San, are you worried about Big Brother?"
Chen Jiye sighed and replied, "Yes, life in the army is tough, and I'm really worried about him suffering. But he's determined to go, and no one can stop him. Let's go and see him when we get back from the grassland."
This was a complaint, but Chen Ruiyang could hear a strong sense of worry in it and couldn't help feeling envious.
Before, when the family was not in trouble, his mother and uncle had disciplined him a lot.
He often refused to accept it, agreeing with his mouth but complaining in his heart. Now that he has lost everything, he realizes how precious these "disciplines" were!
Only those who wish you the best are willing to waste their time and energy teaching you!
Tai Jiye, perhaps sensing his emotions, raised his hand to pull the blanket around him, patted his belly, and consoled him, "Don't overthink it. Grandpa said you'll be a member of our Tai family from now on. Whether you find your uncle or not, that won't change. Go to sleep. We have to travel tomorrow morning, and it's going to be tiring!"
Chen Ruiyang felt a lump in his throat and responded softly without saying anything else.
After a while, there was another snoring boy in the tent.
Tai Jiye fell asleep as he listened...
There was a thin mist on the grassland in the morning, and dewdrops dotted the grass leaves, bringing a slight chill.
The convoy lined up in a single file and headed deep into the grassland. Everyone followed the carriage and no one sat on the shaft, including Tai Yonglu and Chen Ruiyang.
A long journey is no easy task!
When a horse-drawn carriage is carrying goods over long distances, one should try to reduce the load as much as possible to save the horse's energy.
Everyone's shoes were soaked by dew and then dried by the rising sun. It was naturally uncomfortable, but no one complained.
Compared to being hungry until your stomach cramps, compared to having numb hands and feet from being frozen, compared to seeing the elderly and children seriously ill in front of you and not having money to see a doctor, these sufferings are nothing!
Their hard work can be exchanged for money, food and clothing, and the survival of their family. This is already lucky enough.
I don't know how many people spend all their energy and still can't even have a full meal...
People should learn to be content!
With this belief, the team slowly walked into the depths of the grassland and saw the first nomadic tribe, the second nomadic tribe...
Tai Jiye originally thought that Chen Ruiyang would not be able to adapt, after all, the child came from a wealthy family. But unexpectedly, Chen Ruiyang tried hard to drink milk tea, gnaw on sheep bones, put on a smile to interact with the herdsmen, and even tried to wrestle with the herdsmen. He grimaced in pain, but he did not give up and did not shed a tear!
Not only Tai Jiye, but also the villagers and Hengqi and others saw it and liked Chen Ruiyang more and more.
Whatever he wanted to learn or ask, everyone tried their best to tell him, treating him as their own child.
Of course, Chen Ruiyang could feel everyone's kindness, and he became more and more comfortable, gradually letting go of the uneasiness in his heart.
But the caravan didn't find Uncle Chen until they had exchanged the last brick of tea.
Chen Ruiyang couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and he sat beside the fire pulling weeds.
Tai Jiye took half a roasted lamb leg and stuffed it directly into his hand, saying, "Hurry up and eat the roasted lamb leg, otherwise it will end up in Yonglu's mouth soon! Eat well and cheer up so that you can continue looking for your uncle! The grassland is so big, it's not easy to find someone. It will take at least three or five times!"
Chen Ruiyang also knew this, but he was still a little frustrated and gnawed on the lamb leg bite by bite.
Tai Jiye took a sheep's hoof and slowly cut it with a small dagger before eating it.
"I've asked the herdsmen in every tribe we pass through to inquire about your uncle. Maybe we'll have some information the next time we come."
This is a good idea. Chen Ruiyang's eyes lit up and he immediately thanked him.
"Thank you, Uncle San!"
Tai Jiye smiled and said, "Why thank me? It's all my fault. I didn't send you to Shunde Prefecture back then, and you suffered so much. The old man has already recorded the punishment for me. If I don't find your uncle and make amends, I'm afraid my legs will be broken."
Chen Ruiyang quickly waved his hands, "I told Grandpa that it was me who insisted on going to Shunde Prefecture, and it was that person who had no conscience... It has nothing to do with you!"
Tai Jiye shrugged helplessly, "What a pity, the old man doesn't listen to these reasons, he only looks at the results. So, I will definitely help you find your uncle, even if it's just for my legs!"
Chen Ruiyang laughed at him, and Tai Jiye also laughed, "Alright, alright! You're a good-looking kid, don't look so sad every day, or you'll scare away all your good luck."
Chen Ruiyang nodded and responded, "Zhuzhu said the same thing. When I came out, she even asked me to touch her head! I will definitely smile more in the future!"
"Oh, this fat girl is so partial! When we went out, she didn't even look at me!" Tai Jiye was jealous and snorted coldly, "I found so many good things for you!"
At this moment, Tai Yonglu suddenly rushed over, howling and trying to snatch the leg of lamb from Chen Ruiyang's hand.
Chen Ruiyang raised it as a joke, causing Tai Yonglu to jump up and shout, "Give it to me, and I'll tell you some big news!"
Chen Ruiyang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly stuffed the lamb leg over.
Sure enough, Tai Yonglu took a big bite and replied vaguely, "Just now I was playing with the children of this tribe, and one of them said that his uncle had seen a man with a red mole between his eyebrows!"
A red mole between eyebrows?!
Chen Ruiyang and Tai Jiye both jumped up when they heard this, because Uncle Chen’s most obvious facial feature was a red mole between his eyebrows!
"Where is that child? Come on, take me there!" Tai Jiye grabbed his nephew with one hand and walked out. Tai Yonglu had not forgotten to gnaw on the leg of lamb, but Chen Ruiyang held his other arm and carried him away directly!
At this time, dusk covers the earth, and it is also the busiest time in the tribe.
The men had to drive the cattle, sheep and horses back to the fence, while the women had to milk the cows, burn cow dung to make milk tea, and prepare dinner.
The older children have to help out, and only the younger children can play around.
The person who told Tai Yonglu the news was a boy of four or five years old.
His father was a burly horse herder. When he heard that Tai Jiye and others wanted to talk to his son, the horse herder asked for a tea cake!
