Chapter 422 Thunderstorm
Abu had just received the news from Elder Shan that only a small team of people would be assigned to guard the carriage, and the others would all follow the young lady on the journey. Why did he have to stay behind to take care of these people?
Song Liyun didn't explain to him, but led him into the tent of the dowry.
As soon as he entered the tent, Abu saw a horrific scene.
On the blanket in the tent, on a plate, was a large piece of beef jerky with teeth marks all over it. Next to it was a burning fire pit. The corners of his mouth twitched: "What are they doing?"
"Look at these delicate people from the capital! If they continue to toss around like this, they'll starve to death before they even reach Kala Mountain.
You have to pick out a few obedient men, have them clean themselves up and come over to help light the fire and make charcoal."
When Abu heard that people were needed to serve these servants, he couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "If you don't want to eat, forget it. Sister Song, you are the young lady. You have always done all the work yourself. You have never been served like this."
Song Liyun accepted his praise with a smile: "Nonsense, there is only one young lady in your family in this world, not everyone can be qualified."
"Of course, there is only one Young Madam, and no one else has the qualifications or ability to become one!"
Abu blurted out the words without even thinking about it.
Song Liyun smiled even more happily. She pointed at the maids around her whose faces were red with embarrassment and whispered to Abu, "Don't look down on me for being so pretentious. Pay more attention to me during this period. If you find someone you like, tell my wife when you return to the tribe. I will help you mediate and ask her to give her to you as her daughter-in-law!"
None of these maids were ugly, and they were not too old, making them suitable for marriage.
Amidst Song Liyun's laughter, Abu was embarrassed and lowered his head. He didn't know how his burly body suddenly became light and flew away.
Watching Abu leave, Aunt Xu breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.
Although the young man from the Di tribe that the young lady arranged for was a big and strong man, he was shy and cute, making it impossible to dislike him. "Thank you for your concern, young lady. Who was that just now..."
"Madam Xu, that was Abu just now. He's as close to Ashi as a brother. He's seventeen years old. Although he looks reckless, he's a sensible and obedient child."
Song Liyun smiled kindly.
He hasn't even gotten married yet, but he's already helping others get married.
These palace maids will get married sooner or later. If they pick someone they like on the road, it will help herself and Madam Wuya.
Soon the itinerary changed and Aunt Xu and the others were able to have meals.
After leaving the camp, in a deserted place, Song Liyun put the carriage containing the dowry into the space.
The carriage she left for Abu contained enough grain, oil, rice, flour, charcoal and dry firewood.
Some of the people brought by Aunt Xu were chefs, and they could make their own fire and cook on the road.
Elder Shan was unhappy.
In order to allow Aunt Xu and the other twenty people to travel slowly, Song Liyun left most of the escort cavalry behind, and she only took a dozen cavalry with her.
"Elder Shan, you have to believe in my ability. Besides, Ah Shi is already here. Maybe I just need to go forward to meet him and I'll be able to meet him."
Elder Shan shook his head: "Young Madam, I naturally believe that you can be safe.
This is a matter of attitude. You are the young lady of the tribe, how can you leave the guards to the servants?"
In Elder Shan’s mind, slaves are not to be treated as human beings, and they should give their lives for their masters.
How could you put yourself in danger to protect slaves?
Song Liyun smiled and said, "Elder Shan, these servants are not ordinary people. They will not let you down in the future!"
After saying this, he rode his horse forward.
When Madam Yun saw Song Liyun leaving, she hurriedly followed her.
The power of maternal love is infinite.
For the sake of Xiao Shitou and to adapt to the grassland, she not only tried hard to adapt to the customs of the Di people, but also learned to ride a horse.
At this time, with Xiao An and Wu Dan protecting him, he was able to keep up with the speed of everyone.
Without the burden of a convoy, by nightfall, Song Liyun and his small group had already traveled nearly a hundred miles and found a flat ground to set up camp.
It was the first time that Elder Shan saw the wooden house that Song Liyun took out from the space.
A row of dormitories was quickly built. Not only did people have warm homes, but even horses had fodder and water.
Elder Shan knelt down and kowtowed, trembling, tears streaming down his face.
If he had doubts about Auntie Qi's words before, he now firmly believed that this young lady came to strengthen the Wuda tribe.
The young lady is the deity of the tribe.
In order to keep the secret of the Wuda tribe, Song Liyun was surrounded by tribesmen.
At this time, the Di people were also very excited.
Xiao An and Madam Yun were no longer surprised. While the Wuda people were thanking the gods, the two were busy setting up the stove and making a fire to cook.
In the wooden house, Xiao An was flipping and grilling skewers of meat on the charcoal rack, brushing a layer of seasoning on the sizzling meat from time to time.
Madam Yun knelt beside the small pot, carefully cooking Song Liyun's favorite meat porridge. In the light of the fire, her eyes and eyebrows were filled with a happy smile that could not be concealed.
In just a few days, she will be able to be with her son forever and never be separated again.
After a night, the wooden houses were taken back and the troops set out again after a rest.
Two days passed and everything on the road was calm, but Song Liyun, Elder Shan and others became a little anxious.
According to the plan, Zhao Tingduo should have brought people to meet them on the road yesterday.
Now we have exceeded the predetermined distance, but still haven’t seen anyone. Did we miss him?
Another sunset, the wind was still blowing in the evening, the dry grass on the ground swayed gently, making a rustling sound.
Elder Shan directed people to build houses while horses graze freely around them.
Song Liyun took Xiao An and Wu Dan and stood on a high hill, looking into the distance through a telescope.
At this time, dark clouds gathered on the horizon, and the last rays of the sun tried to give it a golden edge.
Song Liyun didn't see any human figures through the telescope. In her sight, there was only a group of wolves with their children hurriedly on their way, and they had no time to pay attention to an antelope standing next to them.
Soon, the family of more than a dozen wolves disappeared behind the hillside.
Xiao An took the telescope from Song Liyun and observed the surroundings seriously. Suddenly, he pointed to the distant sky and said, "Sister, those clouds are moving so fast! And they are as thick as the quilt on the kang."
Wu Dan was a lively person, and he wanted to see what he heard. When he saw the rolling black clouds through the telescope, his face suddenly changed: "It's a thunderstorm!"
Song Liyun laughed: "Wudan, are you stupid? It's already snowing, how can it rain?"
There is little rain on the grassland, and it is winter now. Even if the sunlight is too bright these two days, it will not rain.
Wu Dan shook his head. "I've seen clouds like this before. The elders in my tribe said that thunderstorm clouds are like this. They come and go quickly, but they also come with great force. If your clothes get wet and the wind blows them, you'll freeze to death!"
Song Liyun did not dare to be careless. She immediately took Xiao An and Wu Dan back to the wooden house and told Elder Shan about the discovery of the thunderclouds.
Elder Shan has lived on the grassland all his life and has seen all kinds of strange things. He doesn't find it strange that there are thunderstorms in early winter.
"It's okay. In rainy years, there are also winter rains. Most of the time, they stop in a cup of tea!"
When Elder Shan came down from the hill with a dark face and crawled down, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.
Everyone take action.
