Song Zhenping, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "Zhao Ashi, you two... why did you join the army?"
He has rejected several soldiers who came to him in the past month to sound him out, wanting to marry Yun'er. Now he is a little obsessed, and he sees everyone as having ulterior motives.
Even though he knows that others were left behind by Commander Luo to protect his family, he can't help but want to ask.
When Zhao Tingduo was asked why she joined the army, she was slightly taken aback: "My family situation is special. I can't be an official or go into business. This is the only path I can take since I was born."
Song Zhenping's face immediately showed sympathy: "Is your family also a military household?"
Abu was so engrossed in listening that he dropped the pieces of meat he was picking up with his chopsticks. His eyes kept glancing at Zhao Tingduo: "Young Master says he's a military household, but it seems he is."
Zhao Tingduo grinned and said, "I guess so before! But not anymore."
Song Liyun's mind was already on the cumin powder. Seeing Zhao Tingduo talking to Song Zhenping, she hurriedly asked Abu, "Brother Abu, can your family really get cumin powder? Will those Di people sell it to you?"
Abu's expression was strange: "Of course we can get it."
Song Liyun immediately perked up: "Could you buy some? I'd like to make some special barbecue seasoning?"
When it comes to barbecue skewers, it's all about having a variety of flavors.
When Abu heard that he wanted to make a special barbecue seasoning, he immediately nodded: "I can give you cumin powder, but we have to agree that I have to try it first."
Xiao An Teng stood up: "No, my second sister has to eat first."
"Ha! What do you know, little brat? I'm taking the cumin powder, it's the most important, so of course I'll eat it first."
Abu, being a child at heart, insisted on teasing Xiao An. Seeing Xiao An's face turn red with anxiety, he raised his head and said, "Make me another serving of spicy rabbit meat, and let your sister eat it first from now on."
"My rabbits... well, that's all I have left. I can't kill them now."
Seeing that Abu had agreed to give his second sister cumin powder, Xiao An decided not to compete for first place and could make another serving of spicy rabbit meat herself.
But the rabbits in the backyard need to have babies, and they can't eat the mother rabbits, so he couldn't say how many there were and had to use his fingers to indicate.
Abu was somewhat surprised by his actions, then burst into laughter: "Xiao An, you can't count."
Xiao An's face flushed instantly, and he rubbed his hands awkwardly, saying, "I've learned to read too."
Inside, the meal was lively, but outside, Yunniangzi stood in the kitchen, looking out the window at the dining room with a pale face.
Abu sat near the door, and Yunniangzi passed by him several times while serving the dishes.
His sturdy build, the distinctive muttony smell, and... the pierced earlobe on his left earlobe all clearly indicated a special identity.
Yun Niangzi was frightened.
Thieves came to our door this morning, and now there are barbarians in our house.
The scene from five years ago reappeared before her eyes.
She feared that her newly stable life would be destroyed again.
Miss Song and the others didn't know these were Di people. What should they do?
If they shout it out right away, will those two kill someone?
After the meal, Yunniangzi went to clear the table.
She was so distracted that she almost knocked over the dishes.
"Aunt Yun, you should rest early today. Let me clean up!" Song Liyun stepped forward and took the dishes. Aunt Yun had been frightened today and still had to do the housework.
"Girl, I'm scared."
Yun Niangzi grabbed Song Liyun's arm, her face full of fear.
She dared to escape Jin Sanzhong's clutches in the snow; it was a desperate gamble with no regrets.
But at this moment, he couldn't muster even the slightest thought of leaving in secret.
Seeing her like this, Song Liyun thought that the people from Tianxianglou had come to cause trouble during the day and that she was still afraid. She quickly comforted her, "Aunt Yun, don't be afraid. There is a garrison in Suijin Town now, and we also have soldiers protecting our home. No one will dare to come again."
Yunniangzi gritted her teeth, pulled Song Liyun to a corner of the room and whispered in her ear, "Miss, that Zhao Abu is a Di person."
Then he recounted the suspicious points he had noticed.
Ear piercings, body shape, appearance, including body odor.
"What?" Song Liyun's eyes widened.
“Please keep your voice down, young lady. Quickly tell Ping-ge’er to take An-ge’er with us and we’re going to the garrison.”
Yun Niangzi's hands were trembling; she was afraid that what happened five years ago would happen again.
Song Liyun remained silent for a moment, then looked up at the door. At that moment, Abu and Xiao An were playing hide-and-seek.
Han Ming, Song Zhenping, and Zhao Ashi were talking to a horse tied to the wall.
This was just a normal moment of relaxation after a meal; it didn't look like a premonition of another bloodshed.
Luo Baihu...
Song Liyun suddenly remembered that the first time she met these two people was in Luo Baihu's inner room.
If Abu is a Di person, Luo Baihu would definitely know that.
Also, these two people suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared at the garrison...
Adding to that Zhao Duo's statement, "We used to be considered military households, but not anymore."
A word flashed through Song Liyun's mind... undercover agent!
She was immediately alarmed: Oh my god! She had almost ruined something big. She had previously misunderstood that he had some kind of entanglement with Luo Baihu.
The man was from the garrison and followed Commander Luo to his home. He was now staying at Baolin Residence. No matter how you looked at it, he was a soldier with special circumstances.
Song Liyun quickly stopped Yunniangzi, who wanted to call Xiao An: "Auntie, don't worry, Zhao Abu is under Luo Baihu's care, he'll be fine."
He himself said that his hometown is right on the edge of the grasslands, so it's possible that they share some habits.
After hearing this, Yun Niangzi hesitated.
In her mind, the Di people were all inhuman beasts who only knew how to wield curved swords.
But the two young men in front of them spoke fluent Wuchao dialect and greeted people in a friendly and natural way, unlike the fierce and menacing barbarians.
Since Miss Song said that the people were brought by Commander Luo, if I go to Wei to say that the Di people have invaded, will I be arrested instead?
Yun Niangzi thought to herself: Then we can only keep a close eye on them. If anything goes wrong, it won't be too late to report it.
After comforting Yun Niangzi, Song Liyun strolled over to Abu, who was playing enthusiastically with Xiao An, and asked, "Brother Abu, who else is in your family? What do they usually do? Do they farm?"
Zhao Abu said nonchalantly, "There are also my parents and other brothers. They usually herd livestock and don't farm."
"Oh!" Song Liyun was a little surprised. Was this undercover agent a bit brain-dead? He found out so easily.
Or rather... this Di person who infiltrated the Wu Dynasty was not afraid of having his identity exposed?
Song Liyun found it ridiculous, but she mustered her courage and asked again, "You... are you a Di barbarian?"
Zhao Abu stared wide-eyed, as if he were looking at something amusing: "You say I'm a barbarian, do you have any proof? Commander Luo never told you that, the Wan family matter isn't over yet!"
He knows the Wan family!
Song Liyun was struck as if by a heavy blow. Could this be her supplier of furs in the garrison?
This is truly a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple; one family doesn't recognize another.
Just then, Zhao Tingduo walked over, looked at the dazed Song Liyun, and said to Abu, "Abu, what did you say? Look how scared you've made her."
Abu clicked his tongue: "Tsk, she asked me if I was a Di, I told her to guess, and that's how it turned out."
