Madam Yun seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and quickly looked around. She saw Xiao An beside her, who was frowning and clenching his fists, about to rush forward. She not only said "Ouch" but stopped him: "Xiao An, kid, don't look at me."
Xiao An was caught and jumped anxiously: "Brother A Shi is bullying the second sister, I want to protect my sister!"
Wu Dan and several other tribesmen came forward with a smile and coaxed Xiao An: "Xiao An, the young master does not dare to bully the young lady!"
Several people coaxed and hugged him and took him away.
Just now, Zhao Tingduo and Song Liyun were quarreling, which scared them both.
They were all worried that the young lady would really return to Broken Gold Town in a fit of anger, and the young master's efforts would be in vain.
Song Liyun was kissed by Zhao Tingduo, and she felt that her breathing was becoming more and more deprived of oxygen, but her rationality finally returned slowly.
With all his strength, he pushed Zhao Tingduo away and gasped: "You bad guy... in broad daylight... you are so frivolous and rude."
Zhao Tingduo licked his lips, looked at Song Liyun with blushing cheeks, and said with a look of unfinished expression: "You and I are going to be husband and wife. Isn't this normal?"
His words were cheerful, and there was no trace of the anger that the two of them were arguing about just now.
Occasionally, he could see Xiaoyun crying for him, feeling sour and jealous for himself, and he felt that all the bones in his body were a little lighter.
Song Liyun is good at everything, but she is too strong and sometimes too sensible.
Just like grandma, she is unwilling to talk about any grievances she has, and she will definitely change her temper in the future.
No, I'd better be more careful and not follow in my father's footsteps.
Song Liyun was kissed without saying anything, and she stamped her feet angrily: "Elder Shan and the others are still here, why do you want me to lose face!"
Although she did not have the feudal mentality like the women of the Wu Dynasty, she did not have the habit of showing intimacy in front of others.
Seeing that she was coquettish and shy, Zhao Tingduo laughed so hard that he held her shoulders and asked her to look behind her: "Look, there is someone there!"
Song Liyun raised his eyes, and sure enough, there was no one around...
There were only a few figures trotting away, and even the elderly Shan was running bumpy, which was very funny!
****
The small tent cannot accommodate these people, and Zhao Tingduo will not let Song Liyun use his "space" anymore: "Go back to the cabin, everything is complete there, and I have something to show you!"
I worked hard for several days and was misunderstood, just to give her a meeting gift.
With Zhao Tingduo's rude interruption, Song Liyun couldn't get angry anymore.
Soon, she was surrounded by everyone and returned to the cabin where she rested the night before.
What made Song Liyun a little embarrassed was that after walking for most of the day during the day, the return trip only took half an hour.
It turned out that it was not just Xiao An and Lady Yun who were taking off their hind legs, but they themselves were also lazy.
Before it got dark, we saw the camp with a bonfire lit.
When they saw the young master and his wife coming back, many people came around and cheered.
Among them were people Song Liyun knew, and they all saluted.
What surprised Song Liyun the most was that at the river bend not far away, more than a dozen yurts had been set up, as well as groups of cattle and sheep.
Zhao Tingduo pointed to the herdsmen who were still busy in the yurt and said with a smile: "This is the gift I want to give you, a tribe.
Wait for them to settle down and then come over to meet you."
"In order to give me the tribe, you wasted your time?"
Song Liyun was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Yes, I hope you will have great wealth and many tribes in the future!"
In the minds of the Di people, agate, jade, gold and silver jewelry cannot represent wealth, at least not something that can sustain life.
Only with a large area of pasture, a large number of cattle and sheep, and a large population can real stability be achieved.
"This is the shortest road from Ruijin Town to Kara Mountain. I plan to set up tribes along the way, so that you can find your tribe every time you walk.
There is hot milk tea to drink at any time, a warm tent to stay in, and safe escorts to pick you up."
Zhao Tingduo's eyes were bright, this matter was not just a matter of words.
After his efforts during this period, he was already half successful.
On the way, at least five of them had already settled down, and a few more were preparing to relocate when he left.
With that said, he took out a map and handed it to Song Liyun like a treasure.
There are not only the directions of several rivers, but also dozens of tribal distribution points.
It turns out that when Zhao Tingduo began to patrol the area between Kara Mountain and Ruijin Town in the autumn, he drew a simple map and also counted the tribes here.
These scattered tribes range from large to small, with the large ones having nearly a hundred people, and the small ones having just one family, living off their own cattle and sheep.
Zhao Tingduo moved more than a dozen of the tribes to the route that Song Liyun was going to pass, so that they could have yurts for resting in the middle of the trip, instead of having to build wooden houses every time.
The reason why I missed coming to greet him these past two days was because of the tribes outside.
In order for the tribe to stop at a place with a water source, Zhao Tingduo drove his cattle through the desert for several days and reluctantly stayed here for the winter.
Last night we almost walked into a thunderstorm area, which frightened the sheep into causing their nests to explode and they searched around for a long time.
When Elder Shan found him, he was still catching sheep all over the ground.
When Elder Shan was happy to see that everyone was safe, he forgot to order someone to send the letter back, which made Song Liyun worried about a misunderstanding.
"Thank you! It must be very hard to relocate so many tribes!"
Song Liyun felt warm in her heart.
In order to make walking easier for myself, I did such a laborious and laborious thing.
Although in Song Liyun's mind the two of them were married, the tribe was jointly owned, and what Zhao Tingduo did was also his mission.
But she was really touched by being shown such considerate care.
Every tribe has been accustomed to living in pursuit of water and grass for thousands of years. Now if they want people to settle down on a fixed route, they will definitely pay a price.
Not only did it need to be conquered by force, but the problem of food and drink for humans and animals also had to be solved.
I don’t know how Zhao Tingduo did it!
Zhao Tingduo smiled and stopped talking. He didn't want to tell him now, lest Song Liyun worry.
Of course he fought all the way here.
The law of survival on the grassland is that the weak eat the strong. No matter how much food, cattle and sheep are promised, no one can be convinced without a trial.
Then we can only fight first, fight or surrender, there are only two ways to go.
Now that he has his own cavalry to suppress him, Song Liyun only needs to exchange food, salt and tea every time to slowly win over people's hearts.
As time goes by, they will completely belong to Song Liyun.
The candles were lit in the wooden house, and in the bright candlelight, Song Liyun could see Zhao Tingduo's face clearly.
Now, the new clothes originally worn for the wedding were covered with dust, and there was a gash cut by an arrow in an inconspicuous place.
Because he had been in the wilderness for several days, his handsome face also became scratchy.
Unlike other Di people, Zhao Tingduo loves to be clean. As long as he has the conditions, he will always be spotless.
While Lady Yun was cooking, Song Liyun used the stove to heat hot water for Zhao Tingduo to take a bath and change clothes.
In her space, multiple sets of various clothes are stored and can be changed at any time.
After dinner, everyone else had the good sense to stay away. Even Xiao An was taken by Wu Dan to visit the newly moved tribe.
Madam Yun made tea for Zhao Tingduo and Song Liyun, then sat down to sew clothes.
Zhao Tingduo held the tea cup, took a sip, and let out a long sigh of comfort: "Hey! Good tea!"
Song Liyun pursed her lips and smiled meaningfully: "The dowry given to me by Duke An Guo included a lot of tribute tea, and there was also a beautiful woman who was good at making tea."
Zhao Tingduo glanced at her, put down the tea and came over and said, "Are you still jealous? Don't worry, I don't want maids, those women belong to grandma."
