[Chapter 395 Chapter 395 The Vicious Fake Goddess (6)]
The young man placed his right hand on his left atrium, as devoutly as a knight commander swearing allegiance to the princess.
The Beast God holds a special status in the hearts of the grassland people, especially after the last incident of the god's wrath, everyone talks about Tata Mountain with awe on their faces.
"I agree!" Gesang came out of the yurt and held Yan Qing's hand. "Any title brings responsibilities. We don't seek wealth, we just want a stable life."
Perhaps she was thinking of her dead husband, tears welled up in her eyes.
Now, there are only two of them left to depend on each other. Meibao is her spiritual support, and she cannot let anything happen to Meibao no matter what.
"If you and Tusan can fall in love in the future, Ge An and I will be happy. If not, we can declare the marriage invalid after the storm has passed." Aunt Maya, who followed out, advised earnestly, "Those people in the upper echelons are always scheming. Qingqing, it's best for us not to get involved in that muddy water."
They have suffered from wars and rampant bandits. After experiencing many storms, they feel that peaceful and stable days are the most precious.
Yan Qing met those eyes that were expecting her to nod, and she felt helpless. If she refused directly, she was afraid that it would hurt everyone's feelings.
Especially Gesan, if she said goodbye at this time, her sister-in-law would not let her leave.
But she has never been a person who procrastinates. If she continues to hesitate and procrastinate, it will only cause unnecessary obstacles to her mission.
"I know everyone is doing this for my own good." She bowed in the direction of Ge An and Maya, "Yan Qing is very grateful."
She stood up and looked ahead with an empty gaze: "But I have my own mission."
At this moment, she seemed like a different person. Her bright little face became holy in the warm sunshine, and even her whole temperament seemed a little ethereal.
The passing breeze lifted her skirt slightly, as if it wanted to carry her away with it.
She walked forward as if under control, and Gesan raised his hand only in time to grab a piece of flying clothes.
"Meibao..." Gesan stared at her face in a daze.
Although it was still the familiar appearance to Meibao, it gave her a sense of distance that made her feel like she couldn't get close to it.
Yan Qing stood in an open space, raised his chin slightly, maintained a noble attitude, and raised his arms to the side and front.
Soon, a gray vulture came in response to the call.
Others who ran out of the yurts one after another were fortunate enough to witness the spectacular spectacle of thousands of birds making a pilgrimage.
Xiao Hui, who was standing on Yan Qing's arm, raised his head defiantly with an arrogant look as if to say, "You common people, why don't you hurry up and pay homage to me?"
Yan Qing, pretending to be very proud, moved his fingers and said, "Go ahead."
Little Gray flew up and circled around her, then left in a group with the other birds.
"The Beast God has appeared!"
"It's the Beast God showing up!"
Everyone knelt excitedly, and Maya also crawled towards her.
Ge An pulled out the pipe from his waist and hit himself on the forehead. He howled in pain. He touched the bulge on his forehead and realized that what he saw was not an illusion.
Tusang looked at Yan Qing's empty black eyes and felt his heart aching, as if someone was trying to snatch away the throbbing of his first love.
Not until the girl's eyes slowly regained their spirit did the emotions beating in his chest finally warm up.
"Sister?" Gesang was at a loss. She took two steps back and broke free from her trance. She rushed forward and hugged Yan Qing, "Is this my sister?"
Yan Qinghui hugged her waist and rubbed his face against her shoulder: "It's me, sister-in-law."
Gesang burst into tears, unwilling to let her go: "Do I have to go?"
Yan Qing pondered for a moment before speaking: "That night I was sick and on the verge of death, and it was the Beast God who used his divine power to save me."
"Sister-in-law, I am now the messenger of the Beast God and must complete the mission given to me."
Gesan's sobbing became louder and louder. Everyone else felt that being chosen by the Beast God was a great fortune, but she was the only one who felt that her sister's life was miserable.
They can't live a good life, but have to go to the man-eating royal court and deal with those jackals, tigers and leopards.
The goddess who is admired by everyone can also become a treasure to be snatched away. What good can come of fighting for it?
"Then I'll go with you." Gesang wiped his eyes and held her hand tightly, "I have to stay by my sister's side to protect her."
Maya got up from the ground, pulled her aside, and advised earnestly: "Qingqing girl is the messenger appointed by the Beast God. She must go to save the people. You will only cause trouble if you follow her."
"I know your sister-in-law is very affectionate, but times are different now, so it's better to put the overall situation first."
"If we anger the beast god, I'm afraid the girl's life will be taken again."
The others stood quietly aside, looking at Yan Qing with eyes full of awe, not daring to breathe.
He thought about all the scenes of his interactions with Gesan and Yanqing in his mind, and only felt relieved after making sure that he had not done anything to offend them.
Ge An put the pipe in his hand into his mouth tremblingly and took a deep breath of air: "Qing girl is really a goddess..."
"Of course it's genuine." Maya patted her chest.
The shocking scene just now lingers in my mind. How can an ordinary person control hundreds of birds?
They had no choice but to believe it.
Gesan's tears kept flowing. He held Yan Qing's hand reluctantly but did not say anything to keep him.
Aunt Maya is right, the Beast God must have his reasons for choosing Meibao.
At one point, Meibao was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed. She coughed every three steps and gasped every five steps. She was always afraid that Meibao would suddenly die one day.
When she saw that Meibao's condition had improved, she thought it was the doctor's medicine that worked.
It turned out that it was the Beast God who came to the rescue.
Yan Qing said goodbye to Uncle Ge An and Aunt Maya. Ge Sang's eyes were red. "Meibao's gift has not been prepared yet. It's better to stay for a few more days before leaving."
When they heard her words, the people nearby returned to their yurts and took out some of their hidden belongings.
"Here is some bacon. If the goddess doesn't mind, you can take it with you and eat it on the road."
"I also have some dry food that I made myself."
"And me and me~"
A group of people came and pushed out the three people standing in front of Yan Qing.
"I'll also prepare some gifts for the girl." Maya ran away.
Tears were still welling up in Gesan's eyes. Was she talking about packing the luggage? It was obvious that she wanted Meibao to stay with her for a few more days before leaving.
These guys are really...
She turned around and went into the yurt to pack Yan Qing's belongings.
Yan Qing was surrounded by enthusiastic herdsmen, and most of the food piled in front of him was homemade.
It may seem insignificant, but in the eyes of this group of people it is the most valuable thing.
Winter is coming soon, and food is the scarcest resource on the grassland.
After years of war, they traveled around and stored some food in advance every year to survive the harsh winter.
They took out all the supplies that they had saved bit by bit.
With respect and blessings for the goddess Yan Qing, he did not hide anything.
It was hard to refuse such a kind offer, so Yan Qing took a little from each family, which added up to quite a lot.
Tusan, who was standing aside and never took his eyes off her, couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips when he saw her helpless expression.
The girl, surrounded by the crowd, had a bright and charming smile, and finally lost the alienated and cold feeling she had when she summoned the birds.
Maya held the big bag in her arms and said, "Get out of the way, get out of the way."
She opened the cloth bag to reveal a jar and winked at Yan Qing, "This is the preserved fruit that Auntie made. Qing Qing used to love it the most."
"I don't need so much, Aunt." Yan Qing was troubled by the things piled in front of him, and acted coquettishly to her with a bitter face.
Maya clenched her right fist and waved it in the air: "This is easy."
She turned around, took out a carrying pole, put it into Tusan's hand, and pushed him to the front.
"Look, we have porters and guards." She put her hands on her hips proudly.
Tusang lowered his eyes in shame, then suddenly knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and crossed his hands in front of his chest: "Tusang is willing to be a guard and escort the goddess into the city safely."
He performed the salute of allegiance typical of a prairie warrior.
Yan Qing did not ignore the determination that flashed in his eyes. He folded his hands and squatted slightly to return the greeting: "Thank you."
The young man's background is unknown. Perhaps he had long planned to leave the grassland to investigate his identity. Now he has an excuse to leave by sending her into the city.
As a servant of God, one doesn't even need a document to enter the capital, which is very convenient.
She planned to follow the original owner's storyline and enter the Beiyou Kingdom first, preferably to find an opportunity to deal with the old man Wusa.
She has always protected her shortcomings. Since she replaced the original owner's identity, she naturally had to accept her hatred.
It takes a lot of time to train your own people there, and it is not easy to select a suitable person.
Tusan becoming her personal bodyguard can save her a lot of trouble.
She will help him explore the mystery of his origins, and all he has to do is offer his loyalty.
"Meibao, you must come back safely." Gesan took a deep breath and resisted the urge to cry.
Yan Qing put the dried flowers from her braid into her hair: "I will, sister-in-law."
A loud wolf howl was heard in the distance, and a snow-white wolf ran towards here quickly.
"Yes, it's a wolf! There is a wolf!" The herdsman was so scared that he wanted to retreat.
Gesang pulled Yan Qing to hide in the yurt, but she shook her head and refused: "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law."
She turned around and waved. The white wolf slowed down and stopped beside her, wagging its tail happily.
"It turns out to be the mount assigned to the goddess by the Goddess of Beasts." Someone suddenly realized.
The braver children saw the white wolf's fawning appearance like a dog and couldn't help but sneak out from behind their parents and reach out to touch its head.
The white wolf wagged its tail even more happily, and even lay down on its own initiative, exposing its belly for the group of kids to touch.
It roared twice: "Scratch here, scratch there, it feels so good."
A group of children laughed louder than the sound of an organ.
Yan Qing rode on the wolf's back and moved forward slowly, followed by Tusang who was carrying a load on his shoulder.
The herdsmen stood there for a long time, until the figures of the two men and the wolf completely disappeared on the next grassy slope, and then they reluctantly withdrew their gaze.
Maya patted Gesang's shoulder and said, "Tusang will protect the little girl, don't worry."
Gesang forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I know, Auntie."
She was just not used to the sudden separation.
Returning to the yurt and looking at the empty room, a huge feeling of loneliness suddenly hit me.
She huddled at the end of the bed where Meibao often sat, feeling completely drained of energy.
At night, she woke up from a nightmare, sweating profusely.
She was gasping for breath and could no longer fall asleep.
My mind was filled with the bloody scenes in my dreams where Meibao was tortured to death by the old monk, and then her leg bones were gouged out and her skin was peeled off to make a magic weapon.
She had the same dream for two consecutive nights, so real that she could hardly distinguish between reality and fantasy.
On the third night, worried about Yan Qing, she left a letter and left without saying goodbye.
She couldn't read or write, so there were only a few simple drawings on the letter:
A sheep wanders away from the flock to find another sheep.
-----
Yan Qing and Tu Sang headed out of the grassland. Not wanting to travel late at night, they found a place to rest by the river.
She stood on the grass slope with the young man, looking into the distance, and pointed in a certain direction: "Tusango, go to the place where there is firelight and find out the situation. I want to take a bath."
The young man wanted to refuse, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his ears started to burn. He turned his head to look at the white wolf wagging its tail stupidly behind him, and nodded: "Okay."
With this silly dog ​​protecting her, Miss Yan Qing will be fine.
After he left, Yan Qing tapped his toes on the river surface and stared at the rippling water: "Why aren't you coming out yet?"
The white wolf stuck out his tongue diagonally behind him: "Woof~"
Realizing that it had howled in the wrong way, it howled a few more times to hide its embarrassment: "Woo-woo-woo~"
No one showed up.
Yan Qing took off his coat and jumped into the river, not caring whether the visitor was willing to show up or not, he just wanted to wash off the dust from the long journey.
The wind was strong on the grassland, and she felt her face was covered with floating dust.
As the sound of "splash" falling into the water was heard, the next second she felt someone falling in from her side.
Without saying a word, the young man put his arms around her waist, picked up the clothes on her chest with his mouth, and tried to drag her to the shore.
Yan Qing wrapped her slender legs around his waist, one hand on his shoulder and the other hand grabbing his hair and pulling it down.
"What do you want to do?" She narrowed her eyes dangerously and increased the strength of her hands.
The young man looked at her with his teeth loosened. There was a hint of grievance in his wet round eyes. He grumbled in his throat: "The water... is deep..."
He seemed to be not very good at speaking, and his voice was deep and hoarse.
Yan Qing leaned almost his entire weight on him, and the two of them were very close.
The wet halter dress stuck to her body, and the other person was also upper body naked.
From other angles, it looks like a pair of wild mandarin ducks taking advantage of the night to flirt with each other and play in the river.
"Are you afraid that I'll drown?" Yan Qing raised an eyebrow, and let go of his hair and placed his hand on his neck.
According to her observation, the boy in front of her had animal habits, and although he was a human, he did not seem to have received much education.
It's like a wolf demon that has just learned how to transform into a human.
The boy nodded, and fearing that she would slip off him, he kindly lifted her hips up.
Yan Qing confirmed that he posed no threat to her, but she did not loosen her grip on his vitals. As long as the young man made any unusual movement, she would immediately stab him with the hairpin in her hand.
"What's your name?" She looked a little more relaxed.
The young man leaned close to her neck and sniffed: "Qiang... Zhi..."
He still spoke each word clearly, but each word was pronounced distinctly.
Yan Qing's eyes moved. Having a name means that someone has brought him up.
But why did he behave like a wild beast?
Even the wounds on his body, some old and some new, were caused by hand-to-hand combat with wild beasts.
And his teeth seemed to have been polished, with sharp tips that could easily pierce flesh and blood.
Could it be that he had been a slave kept in captivity with wild animals?
