Chapter 314 You were still crying at that time
This was the first time in Tianbao's life that he lived in a watchtower.
There was nothing difficult to adapt to, except that it was a little cold at night. I slept well all night.
I woke up in the morning to the sound of people whispering outside. I opened the door and walked out of the bamboo corridor, and bumped into the person coming out of the next door.
The young man was wearing a thin white robe. His face was a little paler than usual, with two obvious dark circles under his eyes.
Tian Bao tilted his head and teased, "Didn't you sleep well?"
The young man rolled his eyes and raised an eyebrow, "You slept well."
It was as if he was the one who was poisoned.
"Tianbao, you're a little too heartless. Do you want me to give you half of my heart?"
"It's not good-looking, no."
"What do you mean by beautiful? Should I carve it into the shape of a peony?"
"I can roll you into a peony shape. Do you want to try?"
The young man was not afraid at all, and approached like a scoundrel, "Go ahead, just remember to carry me wherever you go."
Tianbao's mouth twitched and he kicked him half a foot away.
Standing in the bamboo corridor and looking out, you can take in the entire scenery at a glance.
It was already dark when she and Bai Yu arrived at the Qiang tribe last night. Now looking at this place again in the daytime, she felt a bit curious.
The Qiang people are surrounded by snow-capped mountains and snowy plains.
The entire tribe lives in a small valley surrounded by ice and snow. Their residences are all watchtowers built with bamboo and wood. The bottom floor of the watchtower is used to store firewood and hay, or to keep livestock and poultry.
Looking into the distance, you can see terraced fields covered with snow outside the residential area.
The people here are similar to ordinary people in the interior, and they probably live a life of men farming and women weaving.
Tianbao retracted her gaze and looked towards the corridor, just in time to catch a head quickly shrinking back, and after a moment shyly sticking out again, "Sister, it's time to eat. After dinner, we are going to go hunting to protect Uncle Ruma and the others..."
The little girl's voice became lower and lower, and her face became more and more flushed.
At this time, a number of men in coats and furs had gathered at the door of the blockhouse, each carrying a bow and arrow on their backs. They were talking in low voices about what happened last night, and anger was visible on their faces.
Tianbao was woken up by these noises just now.
It seems that Nanny Lu has informed the tribe members that she wants to take her and Bai Yu, two guards, to go hunting together, and she is waiting for them to arrive.
Breakfast is cornmeal steamed buns with pickled radish leaves and sauerkraut.
Tianbao acted decisively. He had breakfast with Bai Yu and the other two, then picked up the bows and arrows that Madam Lu had prepared for them and set off with the team.
Along the way, the Baima people were very curious about the two people and turned their heads back frequently.
Among them, Ruma was the most curious. Last night, he and his tribesmen were tied under a bamboo platform and could hear everything that happened outside clearly.
These two young men were so fierce that they almost killed the Saint Lian Qiao.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and he likes these two people.
"My name is Luma, and I'm the best hunter in our tribe!" Intent on making friends, Luma approached the two men, ignoring the tribe members' jeers and asking, "You're from the interior, right? Why are you and Lian Qiao enemies?"
The man was careless and came over right next to Tianbao.
Bai Yuyang smiled, inconspicuously intervening between the two men and patting the man's arm in a friendly manner. "I remember you. We met last night, and you were still crying."
Ruma, "..."
He felt that the young man was not very friendly.
The others laughed without hesitation, "Hahahaha! You still have the nerve to brag!"
Luma raised his foot and kicked at everyone, "What are you laughing at? Who among you didn't cry last night? If Aunt Lu hadn't come quickly, we would all have been bled dry!"
"Ever since we left the tribe with Madam Lu, Lian Qiao has been treating us like a thorn in her side. Her lackeys have bullied us time and again, but this time was the worst." When they mentioned last night's events, the laughter died down, and anger returned. Some even smiled bitterly, saying, "We escaped this time, but who knows what evil they'll do next time. The Qiang people are so different now that I don't even recognize them."
Whether it is Baima or Dangxiang, they are all from the Qiang tribe.
Before they split up, the two tribes used to hunt and farm together, and were as close as brothers.
The way those people turn their faces and become so ruthless and cruel is really chilling.
Bai Yu and Tian Bao exchanged a glance and started talking, "You were also Qiang people before? Why did you split up later?"
"It's all because of that bitch Lian Qiao!" Luma cursed angrily, his face filled with disappointment. "We Qiang people weren't like this before. Ever since Lian Qiao schemed to become a saint, everything has changed. She's used the witchcraft that was supposed to save lives to kill people for personal gain! If it weren't for this, my Baima people wouldn't have disowned her! The Qiang people have lived here for generations, isolated from the world and living in obedience. It was Lian Qiao who changed our lives. Now the Qiang people... humph! Only ambition and greed remain!"
"It's a pity that our Baima tribe is small in number, and some were frightened by Lian Qiao and turned back to being fence-sitters. In the end, only a few dozen families are left who have persisted until now."
"If it weren't for Madam Lu protecting us, the dozens of families here would have been reduced to ashes long ago. Madam Lu taught Lian Qiao wholeheartedly when she was the high priestess, but she's such an ungrateful beast!"
There is too much hatred to describe in words, and the curses are endless.
Bai Yu and Tian Bao listened quietly.
After leaving the tribal residence and walking through five or six miles of snow, the surrounding area changed from wilderness to snow forest.
The snow forest is vast and deep, with dead trees and branches knocked down by the wind and snow lying across the snow. The sound of the cold wind blowing through the snow forest is strange and scary, as if a monster hidden deep in the forest is baring its fangs and roaring.
The hunters who were immersed in anger and resentment just now now straightened their faces, picked up their bows and arrows, and walked into the woods cautiously.
Luma struck up a conversation with the two young men, then naturally walked up to them and protected them behind him, as if he were protecting a younger member of his clan. "You two, follow me closely. Be careful when you enter the forest. The wild animals in the forest are very hungry in winter and are more ferocious than ever. You can get killed if you're not careful."
Although he had heard the arrogance of the two young men from below the stage, he had never seen their skills.
When hunting in winter, even experienced hunters like them have to be extremely careful, let alone two young people.
Compared with hunting experience, he is not arrogant and is definitely more experienced than the younger ones.
Bai Yu's eyes curved, "Okay, we'll follow closely."
Tianbao blinked, a little curious about the new thing of hunting, "What kind of beasts are there in the woods?"
In the mountains and forests, she had only seen wolves, rabbits, pheasants, and, oh, soft snakes.
"There are so many wild animals in the forest, blind bears, big cats, snow wolves! Snow wolves especially like to appear in packs, so if we encounter one, we have no choice but to run away."
Tianbao blinked again. She wanted to see the blind bear and the big cat.
The girl's expression was subtle, and Bai Yu knew what she was thinking when he saw it, feeling helpless and amused.
