Wang Xiuxiu and her group will stay in Yunchuan tribe for a few more days to replenish their supplies.
However, in just a few days, Zisu and Wulin suddenly unlocked a new skill—arguing!
From morning till night, the two of them argued incessantly, like two fighting cocks, neither willing to give in.
Wang Xiuxiu was so annoyed by their noise that she had no choice but to go outside.
As luck would have it, they stumbled upon Doron and Uyunzhu arguing.
Wu Yunzhu is the girl who stomped on Duolun and made him scream in pain that day!
Her long, jet-black hair was braided into delicate plaits that cascaded down her shoulders.
Her bright, captivating eyes, like pools of autumn water, were so enviable that even Wang Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel envious.
Wang Xiuxiu wanted to leave this troublesome place, but she was spotted by the sharp-eyed Duolun, who greeted her warmly.
This only made things worse. Wu Yunzhu, who was already furious, became even angrier and ran away without saying a word.
Doron was left standing there, completely bewildered.
This Duolun is clearly still clueless!
Fearing that she might cause more unnecessary trouble, Wang Xiuxiu stopped caring about Zisu and Wulin's noise and hurriedly went back to her tent.
At this moment, Zisu and Wulin had finished their battle, and Zisu was alone in the tent, fiddling with something.
Zisu greeted Wang Xiuxiu when she returned.
"Sir, weren't we told not to wander around? We couldn't find you at first. Your feet are frostbitten; you need to apply medicine regularly!"
After Zisu pressed Wang Xiuxiu down and applied the medicine, she finally let her go, but she wouldn't allow Wang Xiuxiu to wander around outside anymore, and she could only rest in the tent.
Wang Xiuxiu is a restless person. When she has nothing to do, she thinks about taking stock of the remaining goods.
Unexpectedly, they were stunned when the father and daughter rushed in halfway through the order.
Zisu reacted quickly, drawing her long sword from her waist and rushing to Wang Xiuxiu's side, firmly protecting her behind her.
Seeing this, Umuza hurriedly tried to explain, but his anxious appearance only made the situation more tense.
At the same time, Wu Yunzhu seemed to disregard her own safety completely, stubbornly stepping forward and spreading her arms to block her father, as if afraid that the knife in Zisu's hand would hurt him.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Just as everyone was at a stalemate, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind.
It turned out that Wulin had rushed over upon hearing the news.
With the arrival of Ulin, the tense situation was finally eased.
After hearing Wu Lin's explanation, Wang Xiuxiu finally understood.
It turns out that the two people in front of them were not there to cause trouble. Even the vine that Wumuza was holding tightly was not a terrible weapon, but a tool for him to apologize by carrying thorns on his back.
The incident began when Wu Yunzhu learned that Duolun had feelings for Wang Xiuxiu, which fueled her jealousy.
In an act of defiance, she impulsively ran to where Wang Xiuxiu stored her goods and splashed water on them, hoping to cause trouble for Wang Xiuxiu.
Looking at the stubborn little girl, Wang Xiuxiu was surprised not to be angry.
“Sir, Wumuza said that if you feel that Wuyunzhu has broken the agreement between the tribe and you, then even if you kill Wuyunzhu today, he will not utter a single complaint!”
However, in response to Wumuza's words, Wang Xiuxiu simply smiled and said, "Please tell Wumuza that I want to talk to Wuyunzhu alone."
Ulin quickly translated Wang Xiuxiu's words to Umuza.
Upon hearing this, Umuza hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded, turned around, and slowly walked out of the tent.
As her father left, Wu Yunzhu, who had been trying to remain calm, couldn't help but feel a hint of fear that she couldn't hide.
However, after only a short while, she quickly adjusted her emotions, put on that fearless and stubborn look again, and quietly waited for Wang Xiuxiu to speak.
Next, the conversation between the two was relayed word by word by Wulin:
"You damaged my goods. Do you feel any remorse now?"
Wu Yunzhu proudly raised her head, and from a certain angle, her expression bore a striking resemblance to that of Duolun.
Wang Xiuxiu suppressed a laugh and continued, "Then let me put it another way. Just because of your momentary impulse of loyalty, you easily destroyed the contract we signed. In doing so, not only did it harm the vital interests of our clansmen, but it also caused your father to lose face and suffer humiliation. Can you bear these consequences?"
The once arrogant young girl seemed to have turned into a withered and dying flower in an instant.
She lowered her head, and large tears, like pearls from a broken string, fell continuously to the ground.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have done that, but I was just so angry. I damaged your things, broke the contract, and... I even brought shame upon Father. It's all my fault!"
By the end, the little girl was sobbing uncontrollably, her whole body trembling slightly from crying.
Wang Xiuxiu could never bear to see pretty and cute girls cry, but seeing that she sincerely admitted her mistake, her heart softened immediately.
So she stepped forward, slowly stretched out her arms, hugged Wuyunzhu, and gently comforted her, "It's alright, don't cry. I know you didn't mean it. You were just upset and did it on impulse."
Upon hearing Wang Xiuxiu's words, Wuyunzhu seemed to have found a sustenance, pressing her head tightly against Wang Xiuxiu's shoulder and crying even more bitterly.
These days, her childhood sweetheart, Doron, who had been with her since she was little, suddenly told her without warning that he had fallen for a woman he had only known for a few days.
Wu Yunzhu was both surprised and furious.
She was angry, she was absolutely furious!
Unable to accept this fact, she ran to her father and mother, filled with resentment, to complain.
However, to her utter surprise, her parents, who usually doted on her, sided with Duolun this time, blaming her for being narrow-minded and not generous or tolerant enough.
What's even more outrageous is that today, after she made a mistake, her father showed no mercy and brought her before Wang Xiuxiu, letting her punish him as she pleased.
Wu Yunzhu felt as if the whole world had collapsed, and all those who had once cared for her seemed to have left her overnight.
She's so pitiful! Waaaaah!
The heart-wrenching cries echoed in the air, shattering the hearts of all who heard them.
Wang Xiuxiu didn't say anything, but silently patted her back to comfort her.
After a long while, until Wuyunzhu's sobs gradually subsided, Wang Xiuxiu carefully took her hand and led her to sit down on a chair next to her.
As Wu Yunzhu gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, she continued to sob.
"That's not what he calls liking, it's just simple curiosity, like a child seeing a new toy. He's just curious about someone he's never met before. Doron just hasn't figured it out yet, and he's confusedly mistaking curiosity about new things for liking."
Upon hearing this, Wuyunzhu immediately retorted, "You're lying! How could it be just curiosity?"
"I'm not lying to you! I really am not lying to you! To tell you the truth, I do have a lover in Da Gan, the one you're talking about. So I know all too well what kind of expression and reaction I have when I see someone I truly like. I will involuntarily show my love, and I will never be like Duo Lun, whose eyes are only full of inquiry and curiosity."
After hearing this, Wu Yunzhu was bewildered, seemingly understanding but not quite.
After a moment of silence, Wang Xiuxiu said again, "I think you didn't do such a wrong thing entirely because of Duolun, did you?"
Wu Yunzhu lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, looking so aggrieved that she seemed about to burst into tears again at any moment.
Seeing this, Wang Xiuxiu's heart tightened. How could she dare to make her continue crying? She quickly comforted her gently, "Don't worry, your father and mother still love you very much. I heard from Wulin that you and Duolun grew up together and were chosen as the only candidates to be the future clan chief's wife, right?"
Hearing this, Wu Yunzhu couldn't help but feel a little shy, and nodded gently with a blush on her face.
Seeing her adorable appearance, Wang Xiuxiu smiled slightly.
"A woman like you, destined to become the wife of the clan leader, must have received an education in 'magnanimity' from a young age, right?"
Wu Yunzhu nodded slightly.
“I come from Daqian. Your Northern tribes have always had a rule against intermarriage with people from Daqian. As for you, as a girl who has received more than ten years of special training as the chieftain's wife, your parents naturally don't worry that Doron would dare to abandon you easily. That's why you've acted a bit inappropriately in this matter!”
Changing the subject, Wang Xiuxiu continued, "Of course, I don't think so. Personally, I think that in this situation, you have every reason to be angry, and you should even give Duolun a good beating to vent your anger! If you need that, I can lend you my head guard!"
After saying that, Wang Xiuxiu put on an act as if she was eager to distance herself from the matter, and this comical expression immediately made Wuyunzhu burst into laughter through her tears.
Seeing her smile, Wang Xiuxiu continued, "You will be the clan chief's wife in the future, and you will accompany the clan chief in managing the entire Yunchuan tribe. You will bear the future of all the people in the Yunchuan tribe. Such a great responsibility requires you to grow into a loving and steady person. Therefore, your father and mother did not intervene in this matter, but rather wanted to test you, to make you realize your shortcomings, to learn to handle things on your own, and to learn to grow."
"But I've made a complete mess of things..."
Tears welled up in Wu Yunzhu's beautiful eyes once again.
Wang Xiuxiu hurriedly took out a clean white handkerchief and quickly used it to stop the tears that were about to burst forth.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Didn't we just talk about this? We should be responsible and solve problems on our own!"
When Wang Xiuxiu looked at Wu Yunzhu's confused and bewildered little face, she couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.
She sighed softly and said earnestly, "You are still young and don't understand many things yet, but that's okay. Growth always takes time. I won't blame you for getting my goods wet. Consider it a chance for you to learn. Go back and calm down to think about how to handle this properly."
After finally getting Wu Yunzhu out the door, Wang Xiuxiu collapsed onto the bed like a deflated balloon.
I thought she would be a strong-willed, tough woman who refused to admit defeat, but who knew she would turn out to be a sentimental, tearful girl like Lin Daiyu? What a blunder!
At this moment, Zisu and Wulin, who were standing to the side, saw Wang Xiuxiu's appearance and surprisingly stood on the same side.
They sat down at the table together, covered their mouths, and chuckled in unison.
Su smiled and said, "Patriarch, do you really believe that little girl can come up with a solution on her own? Don't let us end up making a wasted trip."
Wu Lin chimed in, "That's right, that's right. In my opinion, it would be better if we told Chief Yun Chuan about this matter as soon as possible."
"How many more days will it take to get all the supplies we need?" Wang Xiuxiu asked Wu Lin, turning to him.
"If it's quick, it can be ready by tomorrow; if it's slow, it should be ready in three to five days?"
"Okay, then let's make it three days. The time will be tight, so that they will feel a sense of urgency."
"Them? Who else? Isn't it just Wuyunzhu alone?" Zisu asked, puzzled.
"Are you stupid?! Isn't there another big, dumb guy who's getting anxious too?!"
Wu Lin rarely gets a chance to bully Zi Su, so naturally he won't let it go.
Zisu completely ignored Wulin's provocation and lowered her head to ponder.
---
Doron rushed in from outside.
Originally, Doron was supposed to be on patrol duty today, but because he was anxious about Wuyunzhu, he rushed back to the camp without saying a word.
"What are you doing here?" Wu Yunzhu asked in surprise.
"I was worried something might have happened to you, but thankfully you're alright!" Doron chuckled sheepishly.
Wu Yunzhu stomped her foot. "What I do is none of your business!"
