Chapter 349 Boredom
After living in Grandma's tent for more than ten days, Yun Chen kept thinking:
What kind of nation is this? What kind of people are they?
Unlike the brutal and cannibalistic Black Scale Cavalry, the people of Luojiang value bravery and force, have clear class divisions, and are rough in character.
They believed that slaves were of low status and could be killed or brought to justice, and their heads could be used to make wine vessels.
But as long as strangers show a little kindness, even if they are Nan people who are fighting fiercely with Luo Jiang, they will immediately give all their enthusiasm and sincerity.
The entire tribe knew Yun Chen and was wary and fearful of her.
But just half a month later, most people would smile at her when they saw her again.
Especially when he saw her and two "slaves" helping the old lady build a new tent, Monk, who killed the Northern Expedition soldiers, even asked his wife to bring mutton soup.
Thinking he had gained the trust of the people of Luojiang, Yun Chen began to find out the location of the Luojiang royal court.
Whenever this topic was touched upon, all the people of Luojiang, regardless of whether they knew the address of the royal court or not, would immediately become alert and avoid Yun Chen's inquiries.
It was not until Yun Chen patted their shoulders and said perfunctorily, "Brother, I'm just asking casually, don't mind it," that they smiled again.
Maybe it was because Yun Chen pretended to call him "brother" too many times, and the people in the tribe also learned to call him "brother".
Many people thought that this was Yun Chen's name, and when they saw Yun Chen, they started shouting from a distance:
"Brother—wuliliwalajiligua, do you want to eat mutton? Balabaladududu—"
After a few days, Yun Chen was always in a daze and would often suddenly lose his concentration when doing something.
For example, when I helped grandma build a new tent and watched her and Doggie cheering in the spacious new tent;
For example, when the sheriff smiled and delivered Yun Chen's lost purse full of gold;
And when she was helping a tall, oversized woman from Luojiang, who didn't dare look her and Huo Gannian in the eye, push an ox cart uphill...
Yun Chen always fell into a trance and couldn't help but stop and ask himself:
What are you doing? Are you aiding the enemy who murdered 400,000 of your compatriots? Are you mad? Are you trying to uncover the true nature of the royal court? Is that right?
She didn't have many opportunities to communicate with Huo Gannian and Ye Yan to ask them if they were as troubled as she was, because the old lady could understand the Nan dialect, and she didn't dare to reveal her true identity.
A few days passed, and according to the time, Buyan should have returned from the herdsman's pasture.
But after waiting for a whole day, Bu Yan did not show up. He just asked someone from Luojiang who was passing by to deliver a sheepskin letter.
On the letter, Bu Yan wrote with a burnt stick of firewood:
"Old Chabu's leg is broken and hasn't healed yet. I promised to help him watch the pasture for three more days."
Lao Chabu is the old herdsman who is "rented" and leaves without saying a word. He is the old man who looks after the grassland in the tribe.
Obviously, Buyan, like Yunchen, unknowingly withdrew from the role of a bloody fighter and became a mortal with a heart and a heart.
It is said that humans are the most vengeful animals, but they are also the best at forgetting.
Yun Chen closed the sheepskin letter and looked at the small snow-capped mountain not far from Grandma’s new tent.
The snow mountain is not high, but it is straight and solid, like the round milk skin balls that Doji loves to eat.
She suddenly began to like this wild and backward, yet simple and welcoming place.
For a moment, she even had the thought of staying here forever and living with the kind old grandmother and the happy Doji forever.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, but for the first time she felt tired of the battlefield.
At night, she lay on the couch and Doji fell asleep in her arms.
After more than ten days of getting along, Duoji completely fell in love with Yunchen, his "big brother". No matter what Yunchen did, Duoji would follow him.
Now Doji doesn’t even sleep with his grandmother, and insists on squeezing together with Yunchen.
Yun Chen could only be forced to take on the task of coaxing the child.
The old grandmother sat on the new and spacious warm couch that Yun Chen had built for her, looking at her and Doji with a smile. She squinted her eyes with effort, sewed a new sheepskin coat, and sang ancient Luojiang songs.
The old grandmother's voice trembled slightly, as desolate as the vast snowfield, and echoed melodiously in the night sky.
Yun Chen was drowsy and tapped lightly on the tent wall with his fingers. The same response came from the other side. It was Huo Gannian.
Saying good night in the same way as usual, Yun Chen couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she was suddenly awakened by the sound of fierce horse hooves and shouts outside the tent.
She recognized it as Bu Yan's voice, and instantly lost all sleepiness and turned over and got up.
She said to the tent next door, "Just stay here and behave yourself!" She meant to tell Huo Gannian and Ye Yan not to worry, and she went to take a look, then ran out of the tent.
I saw that several Luojiang people had gathered outside.
Buyan came galloping over on a Luojiang horse. His whole body was covered in black ash from the thick smoke. The snow water melted on his body and then condensed into ice, making him shiver with cold.
He hurriedly reined in his horse in front of Yun Chen and shouted:
"The forest is on fire! It's already spread to the grassland! It's about to reach here! Everyone, evacuate!"
The people of Luojiang couldn't understand this. Yun Chen was shocked and quickly pulled the old lady out to translate.
After hearing the old lady's explanation, the expressions of all the people from Luojiang present changed drastically. They screamed loudly and hurried to call the security team.
The men roughly pushed their wives and children into the tent, as if ordering them not to come out.
Yun Chen also pulled the old lady back to the tent. Duoji had been woken up and knew what had happened. The young man's face was full of fear and excitement, and he couldn't help but shout.
The old grandmother patted Duoji's back angrily, with a worried look in her eyes, and sighed heavily:
"This hasn't happened in almost 30 years... The forests and pastures are the roots of the herdsmen. If they're burned down, the cattle and sheep will starve to death next year, and so will the people..."
For the people of Luojiang, grasslands and forests are their lifeblood. Fire is a terrifying demon that can destroy everything.
Yun Chen wanted to comfort the old grandmother, saying that even though the cattle and sheep were gone, at least the people were still there.
But the old lady shook her head, with an unprecedented fear in her eyes:
"Even though there's snow in winter, the woods and grass are dry. They'll burn very quickly and will soon burn right here..."
Yun Chen then realized the seriousness of the problem. He asked Doji to take good care of the old grandmother and rushed out of the tent again.
