Chapter 359 Why doesn’t he come back?
With these carts and cavalry, Song Liyun's plan to put the things back into the space and rush to Suijin Town overnight with a small group of people failed.
"Ashi, I have to go back in a hurry! You're putting me in a difficult position!" Song Liyun shook the small silver bag in her hand.
Zhao Tingduo saw that Song Liyun was about to use "witchcraft" again and hurriedly stopped her.
"Yun'er, try not to use witchcraft again in the future!"
Zhao Tingduo already knew everything about Song Liyun's specialness. Although he was happy, he was more worried.
This is naturally a good thing for the Wuda tribe. It is a blessing from the gods.
But when Zhao Tingduo thought that the beggar lady was suffering from the backlash of witchcraft and was in very poor health, and was younger than Elder Shan, she stayed by the fire all day long and dared not leave. Even when he brought the troops back, the beggar lady did not come out to see him.
He was worried that Song Liyun would use witchcraft frequently without knowing the seriousness of the situation and would be hurt in the future.
So under his arrangement, Song Liyun had to take a car back.
The Dongyue tribe had just been destroyed, the Mudan tribe had neglected their duties, and a number of matters still needed to be dealt with. Zhao Tingduo was unable to go to Suijin Town with them, and only sent them a hundred miles away before bidding them farewell.
Five large carts filled with New Year's items were escorted by the Wuda cavalry. Without taking a detour, they set out directly from Kala Mountain and entered Suijin Town via the Huangsha River.
Song Liyun also took out the food, cloth, charcoal and medicine she had bought from the space and left them in the tribe.
Although Anguo Duke Zhao Yanjiao could send valuable gifts to Lady Uya, he could not provide the needles and thread that ordinary herdsmen needed.
The cloth, grain and oil that Song Liyun brought were very practical, allowing everyone in the tribe to sing and dance happily all night.
Lin Qingyuan left with the people from Hecheng Garrison. He was in a hurry to go back and take care of his business.
After learning that Young Master Lin had suffered in Qili County, Lin Qingyuan was happy for a while but then became worried.
Given Young Master Lin's cunning nature, once he is offended, he will find a reason to vent.
His mother was still a concubine in the Lin Mansion, and he was bound to be blamed by his stepmother. As her son, he was not around and was afraid that something would happen.
Bahrain also left in a hurry with his men!
He obtained Zhao Tingduo's permission to become a vassal tribe of the Wuda tribe. From then on, all the grasslands at the mouth of the Huangsha River belonged to him, and he was also responsible for the dedicated line communication in Suijin Town.
Now he went back and waited for the arrival of spring to move his tent to the Huangsha River Valley.
This time, it was Abu who led the team to escort Song Liyun back to Suijin Town.
The black boy rode his horse beside Song Liyun's carriage, gesticulating and talking about the battles he had fought with the young master.
Song Liyun was shocked by what she heard and developed even more admiration for Zhao Tingduo.
It was already the twelfth lunar month, the coldest time of the year, and we encountered a snowstorm that lasted for a whole day and night on the road, so we had to stop to take shelter.
It took Song Liyun ten days on the road to successfully reach the mouth of Huangsha River. She then crossed Suijin Pass overnight and finally returned to the gate of Baolinju.
The sudden return of Song Liyun and Song Dekui disturbed the entire family who had gone to bed early.
Song Zhenping was extremely excited. He asked Aunt Yun and his new daughter-in-law Yang Hua to light the fire and cook immediately. He also asked Song Dekui about his well-being and thanked him for accompanying his second sister through hardships.
Xiao An held Song Liyun and cried loudly, telling her how worried he had been these days.
Since Song Liyun returned to Xiaoshi Village, she had never been away for such a long time.
Hei Jin, wrapped in a sheepskin coat, followed beside him with a grin on his face.
Song Liyun gave it a jade bowl the size of a palm, and it immediately became very fond of it.
After Abu arranged the fifty soldiers of the Leizi Camp in the garrison and they arrived at Baolinju, there was naturally joy in the whole yard again.
It was almost dawn and no one wanted to sleep anymore.
It has only been more than half a month since Song Liyun left Baolinju, but in everyone's minds it seems like a year.
While Yang Hua was entertaining guests, Song Liyun asked Song Zhenping about his marriage.
She encountered a snowstorm on the way and missed Song Zhenping's wedding.
When asked about his marriage, Song Zhenping, who had just married, blushed and stammered as he talked about his wedding and the good things about Yang Hua.
He did not say that the Qili County Government sent an official letter to Suijin Town prohibiting marriage during the national mourning period the day before his wedding.
Yang Hua's family has already prepared wine and food, waiting for the Song family to go and pick up the bride at dawn.
The emperor is far away and no one took this seriously. The big red sedan chair and the gongs and drums were still there.
But Captain Luo blocked the door and forced him to remove the red silk and the roof of the sedan chair, otherwise he would not be allowed to go out.
Captain Luo was the one my sister had chosen to officiate the wedding, and everything depended on him.
The wedding could not be delayed, so Song Zhenping had to take off the red silk and set off in the blue sedan.
The Song family's blue sedan almost caused trouble in Yangshulin Village. Yang Hua's younger brother said that the blue sedan was not festive and insisted on stopping the wedding.
Fortunately, when Yang Hua knew that it was an official letter from the court, she slapped her brother and sister-in-law who were throwing a tantrum, and then lifted the curtain and got into the sedan chair.
Because of the national mourning, apart from Mr. Zhang, Xue Zhuang, and Shopkeeper Mu from Suijin Town, the only people who came to Baolinju for the banquet were the steward Wan and the two families of Lin Tao and Zhou Xiang.
Although the banquet was a little quiet, all the gifts had arrived.
The next day after Yang Hua came into the house, she took care of everything at home and took care of Song Zhenping and his brother in every possible way. Song Zhenping was naturally very satisfied.
The only regret is that I was not able to go to the bride wearing red and colorful clothes.
He didn't understand what his marriage had to do with the old emperor who was far away.
But Captain Luo said it shouldn't be hung, so he took it down, and even covered the wedding sedan with blue silk.
Song Liyun did not explain further, and she could not explain the relationship between Madam Wu Ya and the court.
There are many things that ordinary people don’t understand, so it’s safer to be honest, obedient and follow the crowd.
Fortunately, although red could not be hung outside, the room used as a new home was still decorated with wedding characters and window decorations, and the couple's bedding was also a bright red wedding quilt.
At the end of the conversation, Song Liyun finally mentioned her cheap second uncle Song Defu.
These days in the Wuda tribe, everyone seemed to have forgotten this person.
It was Abu who brought it up on the way.
Song Defu was sent to a remote small tribe. He was not tied up or imprisoned. There was no human area within a hundred miles around him. He milked sheep, grazed cattle, and collected cow dung every day. At night, he lived in the cowshed to keep warm.
In general, he can't die, can't run away, can't speak, and how long he can live depends on how strong his spirit is.
Song Liyun was very satisfied with the result, and even Song Zhenping didn't say anything when he heard it.
The death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life imprisonment cannot be escaped. Since Li Xiao is the heavy burden on his head and he cannot solve the problem himself, let Song Defu suffer for a few more years to pay for the evil deeds he did in the past.
Song Liyun sent a special gift to her new sister-in-law Yang Hua and apologized for not coming back in time.
If she had to think about what to give as a gift before, it is much easier now.
The Wuda tribe’s cashmere yarn, cashmere blanket, and a piece of jewelry are all practical and good things.
Yang Hua knew that her sister-in-law had gone to the grassland some time ago.
She was not a stingy person. Although she didn't know what had happened, her sister-in-law was closely connected with the garrison and her husband's family was also settled on the grassland. She must have been delayed because of something important.
Upon hearing that Song Liyun had returned, Manager Mu hurried over with the account book.
Han Ming also submitted the accounts of the cardboard factory and the acorn workshop.
Before the New Year, goods were frequently traded and a whole day would pass just by looking at the account books.
Before going to bed, Song Liyun sat on the kang and took off her jewelry. Yunniang brought her hot water to wash her face.
Applying a warm face towel on your face is just the right way to relieve a day's fatigue.
Madam Yun was serving, looking absent-minded.
Song Liyun didn't take the face towel, and said calmly: "Aunt Yun, I found Xiao Shitou on the grassland. He is still alive."
"Bang!"
Madam Yun shuddered, and the copper basin in her hand slammed heavily onto the kang table.
She said in a trembling voice: "Girl...are you telling the truth?"
She had been waiting for this sentence all day, from the moment the girl stepped into the house.
But she was afraid to ask, afraid to hear the bad news, so she would rather wait silently.
"I'm telling the truth. Little Stone is fine, alive and well, and he's not missing any limbs...it's just that he didn't come back with me!"
Madam Yun pounded her chest, gasping for breath, suppressing the urge to cry. She whispered, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive. But why didn't he come back? Doesn't he know that his mother is waiting for him day and night?"
