Chapter 333: The Sneak Attack of the Pingshan Tribe (6)
Whether Song Liyun is a messenger of God or not, the soldiers of the Wuda tribe will know in two hours!
It's dawn, and it's time to set off for the Wuda tribe.
Watching the hut disappear before their eyes, Nima, Wudan and others knelt on the ground and trembled.
Yuquan looked at Song Liyun with admiration: "Young Madam, Aunt Qi said that you are a fairy sent by the gods to help the Wuda tribe. It is true."
Song Liyun felt ashamed. She wondered if the jokes she had made with Zhao Tingduo in private had spread more and more widely!
The road to the tribe is very convenient.
Yuquan and his friends didn't have horses, but they had sleds.
Several boards strung together and pulled by horses running on the snow gave him a floating feeling. Wu Dan fell in love with this sport almost instantly.
With Yuquan and the others leading the way, it only took more than an hour to get from the vast snowfield to the valley where the Wuda tribe was located.
Looking at the dark shadows of the mountain appearing in front of him, he listened to Yuquan, who was riding with him, muttering in his ear. She said that she had not returned all night and the lady must be worried and would send people out to look for her.
Only then did Song Liyun feel a little embarrassed: this was the first time she had met her parents-in-law in her two lifetimes.
After so much running around, her hair and clothes, which had been combed in the morning, were now in disarray.
Before he could decide whether to stop and find a place to tidy up his appearance, he heard Wu Dan, who was running in the front, blowing a sharp whistle, and then the others joined in.
A group of people ran out of the forest and spoke loudly to Wu Dan.
Wu Dan's horse did not stop. While responding to people, it rushed towards the distant valley.
He already knew the reason why Song Liyun came here, and now he needed to tell his wife quickly.
Yuquan said to Song Liyun, "Madam, Wu Dan has gone back to report the news. Let's go slowly!"
The Di people who ran out of the forest also saw Yuquan, Nima and others in the crowd, and they gathered together and whispered again.
One of the old men walked towards Song Liyun.
Yuquan quickly whispered, "Young Madam, this is Elder Shan from the tribe. We need to dismount."
Elder?
Song Liyun was slightly stunned. She thought of the beggar lady of high status. It seemed that these old people in the Wuda tribe were very respected.
A tribe that respects the elderly and loves the young is also a place that emphasizes morality and advocates etiquette.
Song Liyun turned over and got off the horse.
Elder Shan had already walked up to Song Liyun. He looked to be in his sixties, with a thin and long face, cold eyebrows and eyes, and a white beard floating on his chest.
Yuquan saluted first, but Elder Shan’s serious face showed no expression.
Song Liyun also wanted to bow, but Elder Shan raised his hand to stop her: "Where are you from? Where are you going? What do you want to do?"
He spoke fluent Wuchao dialect, without even an accent.
Song Liyun never imagined that she would encounter such a century-old philosophical question before even reaching the Wuda tribe. But then another voice told her: What did this old man see?
Song Liyun's heart suddenly started pounding.
"Elder Shan, I'm from the Wu Dynasty and I'm going to see Madam Wuya right away. I have something important to tell you!"
After a moment of thought, Song Liyun decided to answer according to the literal meaning and not guess any other meanings.
Elder Shan nodded: "So, the guest only came to see Madam Wuya?"
Song Liyun was a little displeased. She raised her eyes and looked directly at Elder Shan: "Elder, do you think there are other meanings?"
"This elder believes that the young lady came here specifically to see the young master. Aren't women from the Wu Dynasty very reserved? How dare you disregard your dignity and come to see a man like this? This elder is telling you clearly that the young master is not here."
Song Liyun's heart was instantly filled with rage. She looked at Elder Shan coldly and said, "I'm engaged to your young master. Even if it's a matter of life and death for your Wuda tribe, it's only natural for me to come here to visit my fiancé. But you're keeping me outside and not reporting the danger. What's your intention?"
Just now she thought that Elder Shan was a polite person, but now she realized that he was a complete sour scholar.
It was really ridiculous. No one had ever criticized his impolite behavior in Suijin Town, Qili County, or even on the Dilu Grassland. But now he was actually accused by a Diman of not being reserved enough.
There is a saying: If you try to draw a tiger, you end up drawing a dog. This means you tried to learn the etiquette and rules of the Wu Dynasty, but ended up with nothing.
"This is a matter of life and death for my tribe. You are just exaggerating!"
Song Liyun turned her head to look towards the valley and ignored Elder Shan.
We are racing against time now, as the Dong Yue tribe may appear at any time.
She just wanted Wu Dan to go back and report to his wife so that he could meet her as soon as possible.
Elder Shan had enjoyed decades of respect within the tribe, and no one had ever contradicted him like this. Seeing this woman from the Wu Dynasty come all the way to his home and act so arrogant, he was so angry that his beard trembled and he shouted, "Come here, stop these people of unknown origin and don't let them enter the valley."
Crash!
The group of people who followed Elder Shan blocked the way of Song Liyun and others.
Seeing that the young lady had a misunderstanding with the clan elders, Yuquan was so anxious that tears came out. He hurried forward and saluted: "Elder Shan, the young lady has come from afar and cannot receive her. If the young master knew, how could we explain it?"
"Young Madam? Where did this Young Madam come from? This elder has no idea what she is talking about!"
Nima had already had some doubts about Song Liyun's identity. When he heard the elder say that he didn't know, and thought of the bag that Song Liyun could use to store things, he suddenly became at a loss.
He didn't know whether he should continue to treat this "messenger of God" with respect or regard her as a liar who wanted to become a young lady.
Elder Shan looked Song Liyun up and down with contempt. Seeing her thin eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and frail appearance, she was far inferior to the beauties on the grassland. Only people from the Wu Dynasty would like her.
Even though Song Liyun appeared polite on the surface, the coldness and arrogance in her eyes could not be ignored, which made Elder Shan unhappy.
Elder Shan snorted coldly, "A woman like you is unworthy of being the young lady of my Wuda tribe! Every woman who wants to marry into the Wuda tribe must bring a thousand cattle as a dowry. You think you can get in with just your body? No way."
Yuquan shook her head vigorously, her red face turning even redder with anxiety, almost bleeding: "No, it's not that the young lady doesn't have cattle and sheep as a dowry. The young lady is a fairy from the Wuda tribe. The beggar lady said..."
She actually wanted to tell others that Song Liyun had a treasure, but when she looked at the person in skirt that Elder Shan was bringing with her, she swallowed her words.
Although the tribe has grown in number, it is no longer as peaceful and simple as before.
These people who came from other tribes would always try to please some of the elders in the tribe in order to make their lives easier.
No one could control this kind of thing, and in just one year, an old man like Elder Shan had become somewhat arrogant.
But the treasure that can store items is also of great importance, and Yuquan cannot tell it casually.
Not only did she not say anything, the two women who came out with her also looked at each other, looking at Elder Shan as if he were a fool.
"Don't mention that old hag!"
When Elder Shan heard the name of beggar mama, veins popped out on his forehead.
