Song Liyun nodded nonchalantly: "Yes! We are all women. We can't just watch her being insulted by men."
Not to save anyone, just because this place can no longer be the chaotic Broken Gold Town.
"What about you? What should you do if you are in danger for others?" Zhao Tingduo stared at her with bright eyes.
"I, I'm not afraid!" Song Liyun believed that she could escape safely in the situation just now.
Zhao Tingduo didn't speak anymore, only looked at her deeply and changed the subject: "This time I want to buy acorn vermicelli again, and also buy grain. Can you help me?"
"Okay! It's my pleasure to serve you!"
Now the food shop not only makes acorn noodles, but also buys groceries and mixes them into dry noodles, making it easy to collect grains.
Song Liyun was certainly happy when another big order came to her door, and she playfully stroked her chest and performed a Western-style salute.
Zhao Tingduo smiled and narrowed his eyes slightly to hide the glare in his eyes. This etiquette was only used among the leaders of the Dilu tribe, while others bent down and spread their hands.
The arrival of Zhao Tingduo and Abu immediately made the atmosphere at Paulin Curie lively.
Abu was competing with Hei Jin to skin rabbits. Those rabbits were hunted on the way here, and each one was shot in pairs with arrows.
Song Liyun praised Abu for his good archery skills, but also lamented that it was a pity that the rabbit skin was ruined and he couldn't make anything.
Abu smiled and said, "Sister Song, what do you want from rabbit skins? It's summer now, and rabbits' fur is thin and short, and they can't make anything decent. If you like them, I'll bring you dozens of them in autumn."
After tanning and dyeing, rabbit skins can be made into various colors of fur coats, hats, collars and clothing trims. Song Liyun wanted to raise them artificially.
"Abu, can you catch a live rabbit? I want one with long white fur."
"Yes! Gray rabbits change their fur and color in winter, from black to gray, and hide in the snow to avoid being discovered by falcons." Abu said casually.
Rabbits hate the most on the pasture. They not only eat the tenderest grass, but also dig holes everywhere. If they are not careful, the horse's hooves will sink in and break.
When tribal children grow up, they must have experience in catching rabbits. This is also how they find food when they are hungry.
Xiao An listened with rapt attention, her eyes shining with admiration for Brother Abu: Brother Abu can also catch rabbits in the snow!
In the room, Zhao Tingduo looked through a pile of paper boxes that Xiao An had taped up in the corner of the room.
The carton factory was still under construction when Zhao Tingduo came last time. He had not seen white cartons yet, only a few yellow-brown thick cartons.
The acorn vermicelli and acorn noodles that were ordered later were picked up by Abu, but Zhao Tingduo did not show up.
Song Liyun didn't ask where Zhao Ashi had gone. Asking was a mission and a military secret. She still had this awareness.
Touching the smooth carton and looking at the Broken Gold Town that was changing day by day, Zhao Tingduo's heart was agitated.
The last time he returned to the tribe from Broken Gold Town was when he had just transferred to the summer pasture.
Cowhide tents are scattered on the plateau meadows, and sheep and cattle are scattered around, trying hard to eat the green grass that has just grown out of the ground, filling the stomach and intestines that have already been hungry and thirsty after a winter.
The tribesmen rode around and drove away the wolves that were also hungry.
Women are collecting wool and cow hair to make felt mats.
Children wore dirty sheepskin vests and carried large wicker baskets on their heads as they walked among the cattle, picking up the dried cow dung on the ground to light the fire to keep warm.
This was the life of the Dilu tribe day after day for thousands of years, but it was particularly uncomfortable in Zhao Tingduo's eyes.
He wanted these children to be able to read and write like the people of the Wu Dynasty, and he wanted to settle down.
However, he did not dare to say this.
There are already a thousand people in the Uda tribe. As the number of people increases, the number of cattle and sheep they need to rely on also increases, and the required pasture area also increases.
Fixed pastures cannot support many livestock, which requires constant migration. It is not easy for people to settle down.
If the pasture is left behind, what will these cattle and sheep eat? If there are no cattle and sheep, what will people eat?
Although his last visit to Broken Gold Town was short, it was not in vain. He quickly received money from the leather goods he sold through Broken Golden Guard, and the acorn noodles and acorn vermicelli he bought were welcomed by the tribe.
Aniang also specifically asked to find more such cheap and sufficient food to bring back so that the children in the tribe could eat better.
Now that the tribe has settled down in the summer pasture and can stay until it starts to snow, he can also stay in Wu Dynasty for a while longer.
The market in Ruijin Town didn't go into chaos for long. A few men who took advantage of the situation were whipped and driven out of the town, while others resumed their business.
In the crowd, a man squatting on the ground to buy eggs squinted his eyes and paid attention to the movement around him.
His dark face was the same as that of the farmers in the surrounding countryside. Only the flash of cruelty in his eyes added sinisterness to the originally plain face.
Just now he heard someone say: The woman who beat people with a wooden stick was Song Liyun.
In Baolinjuli, Yun Niang was busy grinding acorn powder to make jelly, which is the favorite food of the Song brothers and sisters to relieve the summer heat.
Xiao An and Abu are working on their spicy rabbit dices and barbecue sauce. This time Abu brought a lot of cumin powder, so you can eat it as you like.
Hearing that Zhao Ashi was coming, Song Zhenping and Han Ming came back from the fields early and brought back the newly grown broad beans and peas to eat.
Zhao Tingduo told him that he would stay in Baolin for a while. Song Zhenping said with a smile that Xiao An thought about when Brother Abu would come every day, so he, his brother, had a taste for it and asked the two of them to stay longer this time.
.
Hearing that he was being read by Xiao An, Abu laughed proudly, and Zhao Tingduo was also in a happy mood.
Song Zhenping is now dedicated to farming, and his expression is much brighter than the last time he saw Shu Zhang. The sadness that always appeared between his brows has disappeared, replaced by a calm and restrained look.
On the dinner table, there were things cooked, grilled, cold, and hot. Abu took a bite of the spicy hotpot, drank a sip of ice-cold peach juice, trembled his lips and said, "This feels like a world of ice and fire.
Brother Ashi, when will we be able to eat freely on the grassland like this?"
Zhao Tingduo swallowed the smooth and chewy acorn jelly in his mouth and glared at him: "You can't stuff your mouth with anything, why don't you eat quickly. Eat more, so as not to scream for this and that every day when you go on a mission."
Abu also knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly looked at the expressions of the people around him.
Now Han Ming consciously refuses to sit at the same table with them, and Yun Niang only eats in the kitchen.
At the table, the two Song brothers were immersed in their meals and seemed not to hear anything.
Hei Jin squatted on a chair in the corner of the room, grinning and eating his own fresh peaches, very busy.
Only Song Liyun smiled and said: "Abu, if you have milk, you can make a milkshake and drink it at this time, then you will feel better!"
There are peaches and ice cubes at home, but no yogurt or fresh milk.
Abu opened his mouth wide: "Milk...what is a milkshake?" He drinks milk every day, but he has never heard of milkshakes.
Xiao An also raised his head and asked curiously: "Second sister, what is milk? Have I ever eaten it?"
