Song Liyun and Zhao Tingduo's hunting of pheasants on the mountain was just an excuse; they were really just having fun while they were walking.
Only Shi Tou and Wu Dan were preoccupied with the bow, so they abandoned the two others and led Xiao An deep into the forest.
When everyone returned to the cabin after dark, Stone had actually hit five pheasants and two rabbits, a very good haul.
Abu, on the other hand, was empty-handed, covered in mud, and looked dazed.
Wan Youyou, who was traveling with him, was clean and tidy. Her hair, which she had tied up when she left home in the morning, had come loose, so she temporarily tied it up with a hairpin.
Although neither of them showed any abnormality on their faces, Song Liyun had an unusual air about her.
Song Liyun and Zhao Tingduo exchanged glances several times and decided to ask each other what had happened.
After dinner, the men drank around the campfire. Song Liyun pulled Wan Youyou inside and used dried flower petals soaked in warm water to apply to her face, relieving the damage to her skin caused by the wind and sun during the day.
"Youyou, what did you do to Abu?" Song Liyun asked, her face covered in rose petals.
Wan Youyou was also sticking flower petals to her face when she paused, calmly saying, "Young Madam, the way you're talking can easily be misunderstood!"
"Hehe, what did Abu do to you?" Song Liyun wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted.
Wan Youyou sighed and glared at her from under the petals: "Just tell me what I did! What could he possibly do!"
"So what did you do?"
To be honest, if they were in the capital, Wan Youyou would never have fallen for Abu, and they wouldn't even have had a chance to cross paths.
A talented woman well-versed in poetry and literature, and a simple-minded boy herding sheep in a tribe.
The reason the Weaver Girl married the Cowherd was because she lost her magic robes; Wan Youyou's situation was no different.
However, Wan Youyou, this fairy, was there voluntarily; she was not forced or deceived.
On the way, Abu left a good impression on Wan Youyou with his kindness, and it was Wan Youyou who proposed marriage.
But Abu knew his own limitations. He didn't have the handsome appearance of the young master, nor was he a tribal leader. He was not worthy of the noblewoman of the Wu Dynasty.
Unless, like others, you use women as a tool for venting your frustrations.
Having witnessed Zhao Tingduo and Song Liyun's harmonious relationship and their open communication, Abu also longed to have such a confidante.
After learning why the young mistress did not agree to the arranged marriage on the spot, he also felt that Wan Youyou only saw him as a lifeline, rather than truly liking him.
This feeling made him both happy and worried, but he decided to give the two of them a year. Today, he told Wan Youyou these words!
"So, you beat him up?"
When Song Liyun saw Wan Youyou casually mention that she had beaten up Abu, she could hardly believe her ears.
"Yes, I already told him that I truly wanted to marry him, but he still doubted me, so I pushed him off the horse!" Wan Youyou said, blushing slightly.
Her original proposal to marry Abu was a desperate measure to protect herself.
Marrying Abu is better than giving him away to just anyone.
But instead of happily taking advantage of the situation to get married, Abu refused.
This behavior deeply moved Wan Youyou, and she grew to like the simple and adorable Abu even more.
I also have dignity and pride.
As a woman, she not only took the initiative to propose marriage, but also took the initiative to find Abu to discuss the matter.
Abu, on the other hand, actually refused to discuss the marriage, saying that she didn't want to be the young master's maid and was just using him as a pretext. She said that even if she married him now, she would regret it later.
regret?
Aside from not being able to save her mother in time, Wan Youyou has never regretted anything!
She took the initiative to kiss him!
Song Liyun took a while to close her mouth, her mind quickly conjuring up an image of the shy Wan Youyou pushing the bear-like Abu to the ground, then riding on him and punching him... Uh, she couldn't bear to imagine it.
When Zhao Tingduo returned that evening, she gave a different version of events: "Abu said he was teaching Miss Wan how to ride a horse and accidentally fell and got his clothes dirty!"
"Whom do you believe?" Song Liyun asked curiously.
Zhao Tingduo said with a mischievous smile, "I think you should demonstrate it like Miss Wan said, then we'll know who's right!"
Song Liyun glanced at him sideways: "You really want to try?"
"Hmm...uh-uh!"
Before Zhao Tingduo could react, Song Liyun tackled her to the ground, straddled her waist, and started punching her repeatedly...
This trip was specifically to relax and unwind; I'm not in a hurry to go back.
Abu and Wanyouyou went out early and returned late every day, but they caught very few rabbits, so Shitou naturally won the competition.
However, he was too young and not strong enough to draw the heavy bow, so he had to change the prize to a scimitar.
The group stayed in Kara Mountain for seven days until the tribe sent word that someone from Broken Gold Town had come to deliver New Year's gifts to the young mistress.
Another year-end holiday has arrived before we even realized it.
The tribe doesn't celebrate the New Year, but Song Liyun does, so she sent festival gifts.
Upon receiving the letter, Song Liyun hurried back with the pheasants and rabbits she had hunted over the past few days.
Upon arriving at the tribe, I spotted a familiar figure.
Lin Qingyuan, wrapped in a mink coat, was talking to an elder of the tribe.
Upon seeing Zhao Tingduo and Song Liyun, Lin Qingyuan raised his hand in greeting and said, "Young Master, Young Madam, I apologize for not being able to attend the wedding."
Zhao Tingduo patted his shoulder: "No need for formalities, it's good that you have the intention. It's not too late to give a gift now!"
"Hahaha! It's true that people are in high spirits when they have good news. Young Master has become much more witty since he married a beautiful wife!" Lin Qingyuan laughed.
Zhao Tingduo laughed heartily: "Then you should settle down and start a family soon!"
Lin Qingyuan sighed, feigning difficulty: "With my life of constant toil and hardship, getting married is too difficult for me!"
Song Liyun chuckled twice, but she didn't believe it.
