Chapter 158: During the Tomb-sweeping Day, it rains heavily (8)

After some rest in the camp, Ji Ranyue finally felt like she was alive again, and she also learned the girl's name through a few casual conversations, which was Lana.

Due to Huo Qubing's beauty effect, Lana not only prepared water and food to satisfy her hunger, but also brought her a bottle of warm goat's milk.

General Huo took it with a smile, thanked him, and then turned around and handed the goat milk to Ji Ranyue, "Sister, drink some quickly to ward off the cold."

She took a sip and felt a bit fishy, ​​but she couldn't help it. She hadn't had this kind of dairy product for a long time, so she didn't show any objection and took several more sips.

Lana looked at her with some surprise. Women from foreign races, especially those so-called noble girls, could rarely get used to drinking goat's milk because it tasted too strong.

Unexpectedly, this delicate and beautiful girl was not picky, and Lana had a better impression of her.

In addition, she is also the sister of my sweetheart.

"Girl, do you still want to drink? I'll go get some more." She used her somewhat lame Mandarin to show her kindness.

"No, thank you Lana." She smiled back.

Huo Qubing noticed the blue and black color in her eyes and knew that she must be tired after traveling for days and having a cold wind last night, so he took the initiative and asked with a smile: "Miss Lana, can we use this tent to rest for a while?

?Of course, if it’s inconvenient for the girl, I won’t force it.”

"Of course." Without thinking, Lana finally plucked up the courage to meet the boy's eyes, and her cheeks turned red due to his slightly hooked lips. After placing the water and food on the table, she

He jumped and left the camp.

She also wants to go herding sheep!

However, how can a sheep be as good-looking as a boy?

After confirming that he and she were the only two people left in the camp, Huo Qubing lowered his voice and asked, "How are you? Have you confirmed where Mr. Zhang and the others are?"

"It's not very certain yet, but I know that Brother Zheng's coordinates have not moved a step yet. They were probably arrested and imprisoned in a fixed place."

Ji Ranyue only knew that their lives were not in danger for the time being, but Xiao Liangzi's eyes...she was worried that the toxins in his body would spread uncontrollably.

"Tell me, why do they have conflicts with the tribes on the grassland?" Along the way, she also took a closer look at the Degana tribe. Although they are warlike by nature, they are still very hospitable to people who migrate to other places. This is not

It is an extremely xenophobic nation.

"I don't know, but sister, don't worry. After all, the person is here and can't be thrown away." He pushed the person onto the low couch and wrapped the person in the warm sheep blanket, resisting her attempt to get up.

"What my sister needs most right now is rest."

The young man suddenly became strong, and he actually felt a bit intimidating. After losing his romantic and flashy shell, he made people feel very reliable, and they would subconsciously obey his arrangements.

"Okay." She shrank her nose silently and closed her eyes in a rare submission.

She originally thought she wouldn't be able to sleep in such a completely unfamiliar environment, but after a short while of squinting, she gave up and fell asleep.

"Sweet dreams, sister."

When Huo Qubing saw that she was sleeping soundly, he quietly went outside the tent and bumped into the little girl named Lana, standing at the entrance of the tent, looking a little shy.

"What's wrong with Miss Lana?"

"No... nothing!" She shook her head subconsciously, and then handed the clothes in her arms to the boy, "Tonight we will hold a bonfire party on the grassland, do you want to come with me to have a look?"

She spoke very fast, and the pronunciation of some words was wrong, but it was this raw and childish feeling that made people's hearts stir.

Few men would refuse the advances of such a lovely girl, but unfortunately, she met Huo Qubing.

For a libertine like him, the longest street in Chang'anfang City could be lined up with all the girls he rejected.

He opened his lips and was about to refuse, but then he thought about the bonfire event, which might have something to do with the whereabouts of Mr. Zhang and the others, "Okay, it's just Miss Lana, I don't worry about leaving my sister alone in the camp."

, so can you please ask the girl——"

"Of course!" Before he could finish his words, the girl agreed directly, "I'm going to get another set of clothes right now. Your sister is thinner, so I can borrow it from Princess Shaye."

"Princess Shaye?"

"Oh, that is the pearl of our Degana tribe. There are five warriors in the tribe pursuing her!"

But... none of those five warriors are as good-looking as the young boy in front of them.

Lana thought of her plan for tonight and felt embarrassed to stay by his side any longer. After giving him the carefully selected clothes, she trotted away.

Huo Qubing: "..."

Are all the girls on the grassland so weird?

After straightening the clothes in his arms, he remembered something, and the young man's superficial smile suddenly turned cold.



On the grassland at night, the wind was as cold as a knife, but the burning flames illuminated half of the dark sky, dispelling the bone-chilling cold.

The people gathered around the huge bonfire, singing and dancing.

For Ji Ranyue, it was a completely unfamiliar language and dance type, but through their blushing faces and raised eyebrows, she could also feel a joy that came from the heart.

She was infected, and the bells adorning her body made a crisp sound.

Through the reddish firelight, Huo Qubing stared at her extraordinarily beautiful side face, feeling a little startled.

"Brother Huo, can I invite you -" Lana mustered up the courage and tugged on the beads on his waistband. When she was about to invite someone to dance with her, she saw that the originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.

She was silent at first, and then said, "How could I forget that today is not only an annual bonfire event, but also Princess Shaye's coming-of-age ceremony."

"Coming of Age Ceremony?" When Ji Ranyue heard the name, she thought it was like a noble lady's hairpin ceremony. However, after hearing Lana introduce it in a low voice, her views collapsed.

Tonight, the adult little princess not only has to dance in front of the bonfire, but she also has to choose one of the young people of the right age in the clan to spend the night with her.

This... what if it's all crooked melons and cracked dates?

Moreover, in ancient times, fifteen years old was considered an adult, but to Ji Ranyue, she could only be regarded as a little girl who had just entered high school. The men on the grassland were all tall and strong, but their models did not match!

Moreover, what if the little princess doesn’t want to do it herself? Isn’t this equivalent to being semi-forced?

Although she knew that this was a unique custom of the tribe, Ji Ranyue still felt physical discomfort.

What she never expected was that she really guessed it. The little princess Shaye really didn’t like any young man in the upper clan, so in order to continue the adult ceremony, she chose one for herself.

Eye-catching.

"Brother Zheng...Zheng?!" Ji Ranyue saw clearly the man in black robes who was restrained by chains behind the little princess, and was so shocked that she almost didn't close her jaw.

Okay, the case has been solved. She has a pretty good idea of ​​why Ying Zheng, Zhang Liang and the others were caught in this tribe. In a nutshell——

It's all the fault of Brother Zheng's beauty.
