"Okay, got it!" Tai Jicai responded cheerfully, and instructed, "You guys should be careful too. If anything happens, send someone back to let us know."
Tai Jiye waved his hand, "I understand. Don't worry. The tribe is only thirty miles away from here. We'll be there soon."
After saying that, he told Tai Yonglu not to move around and to be cautious.
This time, the caravan stayed at a familiar tribe again. As usual, Tai Jiye led people to accompany Chen Ruiyang to the tribe of the horse herder's brother-in-law.
Chen Ruiyang was afraid of being disappointed, so he hesitated and didn't dare to go out.
Finally, Tai Jiye slapped him on the shoulder and shouted, "Man, don't dither like a woman. Hurry up and go. If you have news, that's great. If not, keep looking! The grassland is so big. If you can't find it this time, you will definitely find it next time!"
The other villagers also joined in with a smile.
"Yes, Ruiyang, maybe your uncle is already waiting for you, hurry up and go out!"
"It doesn't matter if you can't find it. Just treat our village as your home. No one will bully you!"
"Hurry up, go early and come back early!"
Chen Ruiyang cheered himself up, greeted everyone, and then left the camp.
Hengqi was worried about the safety of the road, so he arranged for three veterans to bring bows and sabers to accompany Tai Jiye and Chen Ruiyang, and of course the horse herder who had collected the tea cakes, and ran into the night again...
The herder's brother-in-law had a good memory. When he saw his brother-in-law bringing Chen Ruiyang and others, he immediately remembered what he had been entrusted with.
He welcomed everyone into the tent, and without waiting for the milk tea to be poured, he pointed at the letter tucked into the rafter and kept waving his hands.
It turned out that the person who was supposed to come and pick up the horse had not arrived yet.
Chen Ruiyang couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or happy.
Tai Jiye also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Chen Ruiyang, "According to the date, there is still about half a month left. Let's wait a little longer. There is no rush."
Chen Ruiyang shook his head and replied, "Uncle San, the cashmere has been replaced. We can't stay on the grassland like this forever. Why don't you go home first? I'll stay in this tribe. If the horse-stealing man comes and the man with the red mole between his eyebrows is indeed my uncle, I'll go with him to find my uncle."
"No way!" Tai Jiye objected immediately. "We're unfamiliar with the grasslands, and no one can predict what will happen! If I don't find your uncle and lose you again, the old man will definitely beat me to death!"
Chen Ruiyang also knew that doing so was risky, but he also felt bad about making the caravan wait with him for half a month.
At this moment, a woman suddenly screamed outside the yurt, and the herdsman and the male owner immediately grabbed their sabers and rushed out.
Several veterans pushed Tai Jiye and Chen Ruiyang into a corner and went out to check the situation.
Tai Jiye hugged Chen Ruiyang tightly in his arms, wondering whether it was a horse thief coming to rob or the grassland cavalry passing by.
If I were caught, I wondered if I could use goods or salt or tea as ransom to keep my family safe...
Chen Ruiyang regretted it even more. Why did he have to look for his uncle? He put Third Uncle Tai in danger. If something happened, how could he have the face to stay in the Tai family in the future...
Fortunately, they didn't have long to regret it, as the veterans rushed in.
"Boss, the horse-collector is here!"
Horseman?!
Tai Jiye and Chen Ruiyang both jumped up in surprise and rushed out like a gust of wind!
Outside the yurt, five or six grassland people accompanied a Wei man and were talking to the horse herders and others.
Chen Ruiyang recognized the Wei man almost immediately. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Uncle Peng! Uncle Peng!"
The man from Wei heard the noise and looked over subconsciously. He was so frightened that he could fit an egg in his mouth.
He practically tumbled off the horse, ran over, grabbed Chen Ruiyang, and asked, "Young Master? Young Master! Why are you here? Who did you come with?"
Chen Ruiyang tried hard to hold back his tears and wanted to say that something happened at home but swallowed the words back.
The man in front of me was called Chen Peng, a capable steward of my uncle's side. Seeing him was almost like seeing my uncle.
Originally, he should have told the whole story, but even his own father was unreliable, and he dared not trust anyone except the Tai family!
"Uncle Peng, where is my uncle? I have something urgent to tell him. Take me to see him!"
Chen Peng was stunned for a moment. With the light from the campfire not far away, he looked at Chen Ruiyang carefully, with some bad guesses in his mind.
He said quickly, "The chief manager is camped fifty miles away. He sent me to get the horse, but I didn't expect you to be here! Come on, I'll take you there right away."
After saying that, he was about to pull Chen Ruiyang onto the horse.
But Tai Jiye was quick to act. He hugged Chen Ruiyang back and said, "Brother, please ask Ruiyang's uncle to come over here to talk. This child has suffered a lot. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to continue on his journey."
Chen Peng frowned and looked at Chen Ruiyang with questions in his eyes.
Chen Ruiyang immediately said, "Uncle Peng, this is my third uncle, my savior. Tell him that something happened at home and ask him to come over. I'll be waiting for him!"
Chen Peng didn't hesitate any longer and immediately agreed. He got his men on horseback and ran back.
Of course, he did not forget to leave two grassland people behind to be on the safe side.
Tai Jiye breathed a sigh of relief, patted Chen Ruiyang on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You are lucky, kid. This is only your second time in the grassland, and you have found your uncle."
Chen Ruiyang nodded heavily, tears falling down, which he quickly wiped away.
"Uncle San, my uncle and my mother have been dependent on each other since they were young. If he knew that my mother..."
Tai Jiye sighed and thought carefully. If something happened to his two brothers, he would find it difficult to accept it.
"Wait until your uncle comes, and we'll talk slowly. He's been out there for many years, so he'll definitely be stronger. Besides, he still has you to take care of him, so he'll definitely get better soon."
